Friend of Watson Accuses Eutler o
Treachery and Fraud.

Washington, October a0.-N. A Dun
ming, an ex-Populist editor of this city,
and leader of the middle OF the road
faction, issued today an appeal TO the
Populists of the United States in defense
of Watson. In part he says:
| "The nomination of Bryan BY the Pop

these men have boasted they could pro-
duce q panic at pleasure. We have had a
sad experience to prove that they could
make good their boast. The same kind
of combinations today, to certain ex-
tent, control the prices of farm products.
When money panic OCCURS, it is simply
proof of the power of manipulators in
money. When squirt in products occurs,
1t is simply proof of the power of
spectators, who never produce bushel
of wheat or corn or oats or pound of
cotton, to control the prices of farm
products, produced by farm labor.
= The effect that the rise in wheat will
have upon Bryan's chances In my
opinion will only be to increase his vote.
The farmers understand the evil effects
of speculation controlling the price of
their products when they petitioned Con-
gress for an anti-option law. They also
thoroug hly understand who prevented
them fir ON getting it. They understand
th . evil effects of q corner in the money,
when they are now joining in fighting
Mckinley and the gold standard and sup
porting Bryan. The panic in the money
market and the sale of more United
States bonds would today clearly be in
Bryan's favor as this unparalleled specu-
lation In wheat will be in his favor. In
short our reports for the last two weeks
bave been showing an unusual rise In
Bryan stock, especially in the grain pro-
ducinR states of the Central West and
this object lesson of Wall street specula-
tion in their products will cause Mr.. Bry-
ans stock to more than keep pace with
the rise in Wheat.''

Washington. October Ex-senator
Butler. chairman of the Populist
National committee gave out for publ
cation the following as to the cause of
the rise In the price of wheat:
The jump in wheat Is simply another
evidence of what the American public
has known for years, that is, that the
market to aoertain extent is controlledby
speculation, and the price of any product
thus controlled, can be temporarily
lowered or raised at will by those who
hold the calls for future delivery. 1t is
we'll known that the purpose of the pro-
posed anti-option law was to prevent
speculation from thus 'bulling' and
bearing the market price of American
staple products. This law was fought by
those who had made immense fortunes
in speculating upon the products pro-
duoed by American labor.
eft a proper and just anti-option bill
had been passed, and ws had an honest
financial system and equitable transpor-
tation rates, this present false and de-
lusive squirt in wheat for campaign pur-
poses would not have occurred. While
this anti-option law was before Congress,
more than one grain speoulator on Wall
street was forced to admit before the
Congressional investigating committee
that the combined spsculators, known as
the bulls and bears, had 1t in their power
to reverse the natural law of supply and
demand regulating prices and force up
prices In the face of the increased crop,
or decrease prices in the face of short
crop, whenever it was to their pecuniary
interest to do so.

control the money market. Some of

NO ROAD NO BONDS.
Harmony Wisely Decides to See Its Rail-
road Before 1t Settles.

ner in which horns are locked at present
In the Sebasticook g. Moosehead railroad
project grave results are anticipated. The
town Of Harmony bonds to the value of
lS850O. were given to Contractor W. T..
Davis Of Boston Ia order that he might
realize on them If possible and pay his
men. But these bonds are not payable
until the work is completed into Harmo-
lny.
Therefore Mr.. Davis has been unable
Ito raise money on them as the road
acks some miles of completion and
work is now entirely suspended.
The bonds were issued bearing semi
annual interest and first interest becomes
due on the Goth of January. 1887, and
the road must be built to Harmony at
that time or the bonds are not good.
The parties interested interviewed the
|seleotmen OF Harmony and asked them
III they would pay the interest on the
bonds when due, il the road WAS not
built and they received very decided
answer in the negative.
This Is very discouraging to tho pro-
jectors. Contractors will want their bills
paid for their summers work. as they
cannot pay their men the wages now
long since due unless they get the
amount due them.
Another difficulty will be to get labor
ers 10 work, as every italian IN Boston
knows the fate Of their friends who have
toilsd all summer for nothing and they
will not be anxious TO contribute their
winters work to the long, hard sum-
mer's work of their unfortunate brethren.
The town of Harmony is determined
TO have the road or not pay the pond
and will fight the payment of the bonds
to the bitter end unless the road Is oulIt
upon the first condition. Should the ROAD
be built, the town will cheerfully 40
as they agreed and pay the bonds as uney
mature.
The proprietors say the road Is certain
TO ne built, but the incorporating at
titude Of the parties concerned imposes
many obstacles.

Francis C. Stevens, who is considered
a most important witness, was on hand
this morning, and it seemed that his ex-
animation WAS a matter of some moment
being longer than the others. Stevens is u
stevedore, and lives at East Boston. 1t
was stated but short time after the
murder on the Fuller that Stevens was a
most important witness, as he had heard
certain remarks on board the Fuller
while she was stationed in Boston harbor
before she took her ill-fated trip. Stevens
is calker, and was at work on the
Fuller when he overheard the remark
that is considered SO important.
There were two witnesses called this
morning that were summoned from New
York yesterday afternoon. 1t ia not
known what their examination will
show, but the men, 1t is said, were only
acquainted with some of the crew of the

mate on the Kooky Glen, German

These men were examined, but were
kept under examination only short
