NEW YORK STOCK MARK at.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE stock spec
ulation to-day dull and without spe-
cial feature. The market opened at
slight concessions, in prices but soon
rallied above yesterdays closing fig
ures. Tobacco was marked up ia per
cent and sugar rose ~ over the mi
tial price. Toward the expiration OF
the first hour heaviness developed in
leather preferred, causing q recession
of 1M per cent. The general list also
sagged but the losses were confined
to fractions except for tobacco, which
lost per cent. Speculation left off
heavy in tone, the net changes in
prices unimportant in most instances.
To-day's bond market was irregular
and fairly active with the changes mar
row. The total dealings were 100000.

been to shirlx responsibility, avoid ac-
ton and defer the expression of views.
1t would rather stand for everything
or nothing than for something. That
it has ever been anything beyond a
nonentity in political ideas is due to
the Democratic party forcing it into
some kind of a negative position. 1t
resembles monarchy in that it looks
with disfavor upon popular enlighten-
ment It's appetite for spoils has des-
troyed it's desire for theory, sentiment
and high ideals in advancing meth
DDS of government.
When we consider what our govern
ment would be to-day without its ben
eficent influences, in victory, and de-
feat we see that the loss of the Demo
cratic party would be like that of the
sun to the solar system. 1t has with
stood the tooth of time, survived the
crisis and vissitudes of one popular
governmental experiment and the dis
asters which its own temerity have in
vited cannot daunt it's courage, dam
pen it's ardor or make it afraid of the
future. 1t has been endowed by desti-
nv with the mower to recunerate from
any defeat, and it stands forth as the
richest and fullest expression OF Am
erican manhood to all mankind.
