The Lumber Combination.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 2S.-The Cen
trail Lumber Company, the great COM
bine which was recently formed I'D
this city to control the trade of the
Pacific coast, is making rapid progress
in the work on Capitalization among
the mills of the Northwest. All OF
the influential dealers of this city are
in the trust, but without the co-opera-
ton of the mills of the Northwest
there could be no stability to the affair.
These mill men were necessary to sue
cess. Messrs. Bibb and Holt, repre-
senting the trust, are now up north.
Success has thus far crowned the ef-
forts of the visitors. Wherever they
have gone they have induced the own
ers of the mills and the handlers OF
lumber to enter the compact. Mill
after mill has been taken in, and the
company, which has the city for head
quarters, has already assumed gigantic
proportions, Messrs. Bibb and Holt
have already visited most of the i'm
portant mills in Oregon and Southern
Washington. They are now on the
way to Seattle, where it is hoped that
new combinations will be made. 1t is
the purpose to include the mills oil
British Columbia. Without these
mills no effective work can be done
Outside of the trust they will be a
standing menace to its success anc
they would be dangerous competitors
They will not, however, be easily won
and the efforts of Bibb and Holt ir
that field are awaited with much
anxiety. After finishing their bust
ness in Seattle the lumbermen will
cross the line into British Columbia
If they succeed in drawing the lumbe
manufacturers there into the trus
they will have established one OF tn
most powerful combinations ever at
tempted on the coast.

DR.. NJ. E. Conger is publishing in
the Chicago Evening Press series OF
reasons why he favors free silver. All
of DIR. Congcr's reasons are good and
plain. We quote herewith few OF
his latest conclusions:
Because it is more difficult for few
hundred anti-Americans money
schemers to control all the business
interests of this country with the
double standard than with the single.
If the commodity we must have,
then free coinage is an absolute neces-
sity for our growth and prosperity.
With the single gold standard, every
man becomes slave to the few money
lords-our nation is today in the tolls
of the few gold bugs, with that "big
man." the president, included. 1t
would not change the situation OF a
mountain of gold as large as Hood,
Shasta or Pixies Peak were discovered
schemes, honest and dishonest,
would be planned to control (corner)
every dollar if the single standard pre-
vailed.
Gold is a convenient commodity for
the INSCRIPTIONS money changer with
which to secure influence and power
More bonds will he issued as soon as il
is convenient and modest to call fol
them.
Think for moment of the position
of great nation like ours, boastlns
of it's freedom, playing hide and seel
with the Rothschilds and their selfish
tools in Wall street, New York.
Can any American citizan look or
and not blush with shame?
For any nation or people to put it
money interests into the hands o
sharpers is to make vassals of them
selves.
Any law or custom that in any wa.
| can be constructed or manipulated t.
| favor any class, rich or poor, is
crime, and the manipulators shoul'
be branded as criminals,
The double standard is check up
Oh greed and deception.

the dining-room quite warm enough to

party this timely warning: "When

that victory in 1896 will not be quite

can newspapers and statesmen have
been predicting. The notion that
they can elect anybody, on any sort of
a platform, next year. which has been
prevalent in some Republican circles.

quicker the party gets. rid of it and
takes an intelligent view of the situa-
tion the better it will feel after the

THE PRIZE FIGHT,

Governor Clarke is still firm in
his determination that Co'bett and
Fjt4simmons shall not rect in the
fstic ring at Hot Springs, and the
preparation now going on there is a
menace to bis wishes and orders.
He will proceed to put a crhnper on
the affair.
Hot Springs cannot draw a crowd
there to see a soft glove contest
and the people are foolish for bind
ly going ahead in their arrange
ments to entertain a crowd that
they will never see, It the fight
had been pulled of in Dallas, there
would have been an immense crowd,
but now that the governor has
threatened to stop it the people at
a distance will not come on an UNI
certainty, and that to see a soft
glove contest with officers standin
over the two slugeers to say when
they have punched each other
enough.
