The California Attorney Objects to Being
Called OF by OIney.
Los ANGELES, Cal, Aug. LIMITED
States District Attorney Dennis was
shown dispatch from Washington, in
WHICH it Is starad iiiat Attorney Gr1,eral
Olney has decided to dismiss the suit
recently begun in the district court
against the Southern Pacific and
some 30 other railroads. The
suit is i'll the nature Of q
petition in equity, and relates that the
railroad companies named have urlaw-
fully combined together in restraint OF
trade and commerce. The Washington
dispatch quotes Attorney General Olney
as determined to dismiss the suit, as he
had not authorized and is displeased
that such action WAS taken by District
Attorney Dennis Dennis was aston
ished when shown the Washington dis
patch.
81 have heard nothing Of the kind"
said he, ''nor have 1 received any init
nation to that effect. OF this 1 assure
YOU"
"Will you dismiss the case if Mr..
Olney orders you to do so?" he was
asked.
"You can easily understand that
cannot discuss such point at present."
he replied, and that was all he would
say.
Mr.. Dennis is convinced of the Just
ness Of his big suit, and is eager to
push it.

The truth is that reliable STATISTICS, as
well as our own experience and observa-
ton, demonstrates to us that there Is no
lack of circulating medium, that we never
had greater per capita amount OF money
in circulation than now, and that the vol
ume of circulation does not necessarily
regulate or fix the measure OF prices, but
that this is now, as ever, mainly governed
by the law Of supply and demand. The
same currency buys a bushel of wheat at
so cents, and bushel of potatoes at the
same price At this figure wheat Is very
cheap and potatoes very high. The one
product is overplenty, the other over
scarce. And this makes the difference,
not the volume or the quality of the cur
rency. There is an undoubted lack OF
currency among cur farmers III many
localities, especially in the upper
country, but this lack comes, not from
a scarcity of money in the state or nation,
but from the lack of products to exchange
for money Compare the counties Of Free
born ard Polk, if you please In tie for
mer, with 90 townships of land 1900 peo-
pie, 81 creameries and a great amount of
dairy products, large number of cattle,
horses, sheep and hogs and an advanced
system of diversified farming, money is
not scarce, and the times are far from
hard and depressed, In the latter, with So
townships of land, IS COO people, only two
creameries, a not numerous amount of
cattle, still fewer sheep and hogs, a scanti-
ness of dairy products and system Of
farming mainly devoted to wheat culture,
money is quite scarce and times are very
hard and trying.
What makes the. difference? They both
exist under the same currency and the
same dag The difference is this: In the
county of Freeborn the farmers have a
large and valuable variety of farm pro-
ducts, bringing a fair price, to exchange
for money. This makes money plenty and
times easy. On the other hand, in the
county of Polk the farmers have little to
exchange for money except wheat, and
that was very light crop, and the prices,
owing to glut in the foreign market,
were very low. This makes money scarce
