GOBBLERS OF GOLD.
More Facts Concerning the Gold
Syndicate
Which It Is Believed Has a
Monopoly
OF OUR GOLD OUTPUT.
A Colorado Smelter Man Denies
That 1t Exists,
But Evidence That the Report
is True.
OF OUR GOLD OUTPUT.

DENVER, May THE rumor that a
syndicate is buying up gold in Colorado
is denied by leading smelter men. "Fhe
report is erroneous" said Ex-Governor
Grant of the Omaha and Grant smelter.
1--WE are shipping our bullion to New
York and have been doing SO for month
or more, as we get So cents per $1,000
premium on gold bars in the New York
mark et."
Mr.. Grant expresses himself strongly
OF the opinion that there is no gold syn
dicate operating in the west.
The low express rates are pointed out
as one of the agencies that have caused
the receipts of the Denver mint to
fall off 90 per cent within the last
sixty days A we'll informed express
agent estimated yesterday that IS per
cent Of the silver produced in Colorado
| is going to San Francisco on account of
the demand occasioned by the war be-
tween China and Japan.
The San Francisco quotations have
ruled d to 3 cent higher than the New
York quotations for three or four months
past. The express rates have been prac-
tically cut in two by the hard times and
close competition in business. One ex-
press company in eight days recently
shipped $4,000 in bars out of Denver.
The shipments all came from one smell
! ter.
Aspecial to the Rocky Mountain News
| from Washington, however, says that the
treasury authorities admit that the re-
ceipts of gold at the mint have sensibly
| diminished ever since the contract for
the purchase of gold bonds was awarded
to the Belmont Morgan syndicate.
1t adds: "Another feature of this affair
lies in the fact that the production of
gold in the United States has lately in
creased to such an extent as to make it
an object for this foreign syndicate
to corner or control the gold market,
and inasmuch as the Belmont
Morgan syndicate obtained not only the
privilege of purchasing these bonds at a
very low figure, but a monopoly of all
bonds to be issued between now and next
October at the same rate, it is clear that
from the high price they obtain on the
sale of the bonds abroad they can afford
to pay premium rate for gold bullion
rate over and above the rate fixed at the
mints
This way the syndicate obtained
practically d monopoly of the gold pro
duct of the United States. especially the
product in Colorado. where the. in
crease in gold production has been
so large within the last year
or two The treasury seems to be
entirely in the hands of the syndicate.
1t must have gold to maintain the re-
serve, even if it practically cripples the
purchasing operations of the mint.
The syndicate would much prefer to
have the gold in the shape of bullion
than in coin, to the end that it may be
shipped abroad if necessary without
loss from abrasion. as frequently hap.
pens to gold coin exported from or i'm.

MISS ANTHONY GOES WEST.
Passes Through Topeka Today and Talks
With a journal" Reporter.

Rasses Through Topeka Today and Talks
With journal" Reporter.
Miss Susan B. Anthony passed through
Topeka today, on the Union Pacific at II
O'Clock, on her way to California to work
for equal suffrage. DR.. Eva Harding,
Mrs. l. o. Case and a JOURNAL re-
porter were waiting for her on the
platform, and Miss Anthony smiled
atpleasant greeting to them from the car
steps.
Miss Anthony was the thorough, well
dressed, elegant gentlewoman. Her
rich black satin gown, with its
thread-lace collar extending over
vest of pale blue sat-
in, her beautiful, shining sill
yer hair waving about the strong,
sweet face, brought to mind anything
but the ''new woman" idea, as we are
wont to receive it from current comment.
In response TO an inquiry prompted Dy
this thought, Miss Anthony said: sit all
depends on what you mean by the term
new woman The term has become
cant phrase, carrying almost as much
opprobrium as the term, 'woman's rights
woman used to imply. The new
woman as the phrase goes, may mean a
loud, mannish woman affecting the
boisterous conduct of men, with none of
the saving graces of her own sex

welcome her coming. If by the new
woman is meant woman earnest,
thoughtful, lofty of purpose, self-reliant,
and equally we'll educated with man, why
then she has come. We have got her in
our homes, where she stands side by
side with her husband, welcoming his
friends on the common ground of intel
lectual equality, joining in their discus
sions-a college bred woman who can do
something more than pour tea when her
husband entertains his friends
"We have got the new woman in every
thing except the counting of her vote at
the ballot box. And that's coming It's
coming sooner than most people think.
The new woman made her appearance
fortyfive years ago, when Antoinnette
Brown entered Oberlin college. Next
November we are agoing to have in New
York an exhibit of new woman"
When Mrs. Case asked Miss Anthony
what the women of Topeka should do to
show their disapproval of the unofficial
! actions of certain state officials, she re-
piled: "DOn't mix up with such politi-
| cal filth.
''The only thing you can do is to work
| for the enfranchisement of yourselves.
She speaks quietly, firmly, but with an
| air of conviction that even a Kansas leg
! islator would heed.

the ladies from the window of the

science from point of view somewhat
in advance of ]. Stuart Mill His book
is divided into four departments-pro-
duction. consumption, distribution and
exchange, and there is a special chapter
under the department of consumption on
the theory of marginal utility.
This theory does not seem to find much
favor with Mr. Cleveland From what
can be gathered on the authority of those
who have talked with Mr.. Cleveland, he
does not mean to expound doctrine so
much as to make clear the lines along
which progress in economic thought
must proceed
What he writes is the work of his own
hand In his library at Woodley Mr.
Cleveland reads far into the night He
writes at late hours too, for he is likely
to be least disturbed then. At this rate
it takes months to write q chapter, and
even then there is further delay, because
the manuscript is laid aside aud some
times not looked at for many weeks,
when the matter is cruelty edited by its
own author.
The book is not destined oappear un-
til Mr.. Cleveland becomes private citi-
zen.
Some anxiety will naturally be aroused
concerning the favorite authors of Mr..
Cleveland. Mill seems to stand among
the first with him. An American writer
whom he warmly esteems is Professor
Arthur Latham Perry, perhaps the head
of the present American school of eco
nomics. Professor Perry and Secretary
Morton are warm friends, and together
have discussed economic science with
Mr. Cleveland.
A book which has found favor with
him. too. is Irving's Life of Washing
ton." Mr.. Cleveland owns also nine diff
ferent lives of Andrew Jackson and much
photography on the same illustrious sub
ject The writings and correspondence
of Franklin are likewise favorites of the

WHITNEY TALKS.
He Makes the Argument for Income Tax
Today.

Today.
WASHINGTON, May THE second day
of the rehearing of the income tax case
began with Assistant Attorney General
Whitney in the midst of his argument
for a reversal of the former opinion of
the court, He claimed that the weight
of evidence was TO the following account
First-The word ''duty" had legal
definition. The phrase ''direct tax" had
none, but was borrowed from political
economy.
Second-A specific personal property
tax, specific real property tax, and a
specific income tax were each a duty
within the meaning of the constitution
A general tax on all personal property at
a valuation was not a duty, impost or
excise at all, nor was it a direct tax in
political economy.
Third-A specific real property tax
would probably have been considered to
be an indirect tax.
Fourth-A general income tax, proper
ly so called, was unknown at the time of
the constitution, but was duty within
its meaning.
Fifth-A specific personal property, or
specific income tax was duty, and not
a direct tax.

WHAT CAUSED THE STRIKE
1t is Due to the Selfishness of PennsyIva-
mia Operators.


mia Operators.
CLEVELAND, May General Mana
ger A. G.. Blair of the Wheeling & Lake
Erie road, which is large owner of Ohio
mining property, speaking of the coal
strike. says:
"The Ohio operators will all pay fifty
one cents per ton on the basis of sixty
cents in the Pennsylvania fields. The
miners came to the convention instructed
to demand the old scale of seventy cents,
or nineteen cents more than the price ac-
cording to the usual nine cent different
ial between Ohio and Pennsylvania. They
finally came down to sixty cents, and
there they stopped.
THE whole trouble is due to the
selfishness of the Pennsylvania operators
who wish to get the lake trade from
Ohio, without regard to the cost of get
ting, either to the miner or operator. Of
the summer trade of Ohio operators
fully IS per cent is to the lake, and it is
this trade that the Pennsylvania men
want
To enable Ohio to get any of it the
differential of cents between Ohio and
Pennsylvania must be observed. The
price of 81 cents which Ohio
offers is the price with the
ditfe rental on the present Pennsylva-
MIA rate. 1t has been the custom for the
two states to share this trade equally
and this Ohio is now willing to do.
There is no division among the Ohio
operators. They are united and all are
willing to pay 81 cents. My latest ad-
vices are that the miners will call d
meeting between now and May 15, for
the purpose of reconsidering the offer OF
81 cents and this will probably adjust the
differences now existing"

Ohio's Striking Miners Nearly Out of

COLUMBUS, O., May THE status of
the Ohio miners strike today at Corning
is that all are out and orderly. Miners
and operators at Nelsonville, are at a
loss to know what the outcome is to be
there, it being over two months since the
Ohio people sent the miners food, and
they are not in condition to stand a con-
tinued strike.
Everybody is out at Bellaire, and the
outlook in the town and on the coal roads
is reported to be discouraging.
President Ratchford is soon to make
headquarters here to conduct the strike.
The miners are all out at Cambridge
and quiet. The operators are in sym
pathy with the miners.

CINCINNATI, May THE international

today discussing the report up
on the referendum. A majority
opposed the plan of 100 delegates being
supreme and the state rights plan of the
lodges was retained as heretofore.
In this connection the silver resolu-

rights of members.
The delegates are, however, almost
all for the free coinage of silver.
