Such change in the control of the thirty
SIX miles of double track road constituting
the nearest approach which New York city
has yet had 10 system OF rapid transit, Is
OF vital interest to every man and woman in
the metropolis and its environs.
For years J. Pierpont Morgan sat In the
directory of the Manhattan company. and
when he left it several years ago he did so
after rebuff at the hands of his fellow direct
or, Russell Sage. He has an intimate
knowledge of the elevated system. Mr.
Morgan has always been the financer in the
Vanderbilt interests. 1t was he who secured
the West Shore railroad when the Wander
bilts wanted that growing rival. It was he
who saw TO it that Baltimore and Ohio did
not become a danger to the stability of the
Vanderbilt Trunk line When he bought
New England as bargain he so dis
posed of it that it became a mere feeder
TO the New York and New Haven road, which
is under the control of the Vanderbilts.
When w. c. Whitney let go of New York
City and Northern it was taken up by Nor

bllts. The first open step was taken while
George Gould was ON his latest trip to
Europe. A prominent lawyer visited the
office of Russell Sage with an offer to buy at
very fair price the entire holdings of the
Goulds. amounting to $4,000, 900, and of
Russell Sage. amounting to $4,000, 900 in
Manhattan stock.
Such block of S13, 900, 900 out of $50 .000.-
600 stock of the company would give its pos
SCISSOR such preponderance in the councils
of the road that it would be easy for him to
dictate its policy. 1t would not be difficult
for such person to 90 into the stock mar
ket and pick up enough extra holdings to
give an absolute majority. The purchase of
100000 additional stock would do it, and
it was the possibility of this that at once
caught the keen perception of Russell Sage

Nothing In It For Wage Farmers.


Mr. Bryan has claimed that the free
coinage Of silver would benefit the
working people. How they would Sc
cure anything from the free coinage Of
silver he does not say. perhaps because
he does not know. Ii is certainly deep
mystery. In no way that the probable
course Of events can be forecasted can
any advantage for the working people
be reasonably shown.
Everything that man buys for con-
sumption ia the household would be
raised in price. Would wages be in
creased in proportion? 1t 10 not probable
that they would for years. il ever. As
soon as it became apparent that the free
coinage of silver would be undertaken
prices would be advanced, but wages
would remain stationary until employ
ers could ascertain how they would be
affected. With the heavy losses that
many concerns would be compelled to
meet through the payment Of outstand-
ing accounts and notes in deprecated
dollars, it is very probable that the
workingman would have to wait q long
time for his wages to be raised. in the
interval he would have ample oppor-
tunity to realize the stupendous folly
OF the United States coming silver dol
lars at the ratio of 10 to and debasing
its money, the lifeblood Of commerce.
