ABOUT CYCLING COMBINES
Concern With Big Money Which
Will Monopolizs the Business.
Some Curious Facts About Wheels.
Gov. Morton Signs the Bicycle Bag
gage BiIl-wheeling Notes.

| The talk in the cycling world at large
| just now is of combines, and from all
that can be gathered there were, are or
will be two of them. The first rumor
that floated around was to the effect that
the leading manufacturers had combined
| against professional racing, and decided
-, not TO employ any riders for cash.
Investigation has proved, however,
| that this was more the invention of some
hide-bound amateurs brain than fact,
and. while it Is true that those who
| have had the most experience with this
| kind of advertising find that it does not
pay, some OF the newer firms in the
| business, to the number of fifteen or
| twenty, will have chasers on the circuit.
This story seemed to wbet the public
appetite for combine stories, and now
all sorts OF rumors are floating around
about the formation of a concern i'll To
ledo, Ohio. with S10,OOO.OOO of capital
which will go into the ma king of bicycle
parts and moDopolize the business. Thomas
W. lawson, of Roston, seems to know as
much about the story as any one, and he
says: The prospectus win be issued this
week, and It's contents will be of a nature
calculated 10 astonish the business world
by its novelty and daring: in fact. it will
revolutionize the bicycle business in the
United States"
None of the older manufacturers have
been approached on the subject. or at
least they claim they have not, and they
are unanimous in their opinion that there
are already too many manufacturers in
the business for the combine to be a sue
cess. There seems to be no disposition
on the part OF the leading makers to enter

A Western bicycle enthusiast has taken
the trouble TO work out a number of curious
and interesting facts concerning the wheel.
The following are some of them:
On basis of SOC, 900 bicycles TO be made
this season, the Bessemer wire used for
spokes would, if in one piece. reach more
than half way round the fworld.
A piece OF hose 100000 feet long
would be represented in the tires to be
put on new wheels this year.
If each new rider this season rides $50
miles, which is a very low avera ge estimate,
the aggregate distance Travelled by bicycle
riders would foot up over twice the distance
from the earth to the sun, and the pedals
would make over SO, ,OOO, 900 900 reyoIu.

1t will take O,0OO barrels Of lubricatinc

GOVERNMENT By INJUNCTION.

At the delightful summer resort at
Flat Rock, " c., Monday, Judge Simon
ton, sitting in Chambers, granted an
injunction restraining the Seaboard Air
Line and the Southern Railroads from
cutting freight and passenger rates be-
low the Association rates in vogue
prior to the recently announced rate
war.
In Chicago, on the same day hogs
were selling at from $3.50 to S1.75 per
hundred, and the railroads were charg-
ing fifty 10 seventy cents per hundred
for hauling them-the same freight
charges that the hog raisers paid when
hogs were selling at IS per hundred.
Government by injunction" steps
in to protect the corporations, but the
poor hog raiser has to grunt and bear
it. There is no injunction against
reducing his hogs below the cost of
raising them. An over production OF
hogs means starvation prices for the
hog raisers. but an ogerproduction Of
steamboats, means an injunction
against lower rates.

THE GOLD MEN OUGHT TO AGREE

The gold men ought TO get together
One of the most prominent gold men
in North Carolina. in a recent private
conversation with this writer, said that
ne was sick and tired Of 2u this rot
about hard times" Continuing, he
said:
II will admit that here and there
YOU will find some stringency in
the money market, caused solely
by the agitation for silver, but this
does not affect the farmers and me-
chanics at all There never was a
time when they were so prosper
Gus The farmers are better Off
than any other class Of people, but
they are born grumblers. Nothing
will satisfy them. The mechanics
are not near so bad, but they are
trying to persuade themselves THAT
they are otprosperous, when they
are better off than ever.
No, it is all nonsense, this talk
about hard times. The times are
good, and we would be all right
if the demagogues would quit talk
ing silver"
Yesterdays New York Herald, in it's
editorial column, said:
I'VE have no war, no pestilence,
no calamity of any kind. Our nat
ural resources are rich as ever, the
earth has yielded abundantly of its
fruits and our people are slIilful
and enterpriSing as of old, and yet
blight seems to have settled over
the land-mills at a standStill, la
Dor only partially employed, APP
prehension among manufacturers
and traders and paralyzing depres-
sion in Wall street"
We present these two opinions from
purpose of captious criticism, but
merely to suggest that the advocates
of the gold standard Ought to agree.
1t will never do, if they expect the peo-
pie to heed their counsel, for some of
them to be telling us how prosperous
we are, if we would only admit it, and
the other portion to be declaring that
"a blight seems to have settled over
the land--mills at standstill, labor
only partially employed, apprehension
among manufacturers and traders,
and paralyzing depression in Wall
street"
Besides THE silver men are entitled
to know the issue upon which the gold
men are ITO fight the campaign. Are
we prosperous. and are the silver men
trying to destroy the existing prosper
ity? Or is there a blight over the
land mills at a standstill, labor only
partially employed, apprehension
among manufacturers, etc, and are
the silver men to be charged with TRY
ing to change all this?
Until the gold men agree among
themselves as to the issue they will
present, the silver men ought not to be
expected to reply TO their complaint.
If they do not hasten to agree, the peo-
pie will render judgment by default in
favor of the advocates of silver.
