Much comment has been aroused through
out the country because Of the slowness OF
the President in making consular appoint
Enents. Those that ne has made thus far
have been without method, and most OF
them have been personal. All OF them
have beeu in the class considered urgent.
There are at least from a dozen to
score Of consulates that have been prJm-
ised. and some Of the promises were made
as much as two months ago, but the
President does not seem disposed 10 send
these names TO the Senate, AT least for
the present.
Among the places that have been prom
iscd are the consulates at Birmingham,
Belfast, Rome, MarseiIles, Berlin, Ham
burg, NureI. berg, and Dresden. The SAND
is true of the missions To Venezuela, Chile.
Peru, Greece, Guatemala, Switzerland,
Netherlands, Sweden, and other countries
To the average citizen there 5 no apparent
reason for delaying these appointments.
unless it is for the purpose OF tIring oUi
applicants.
a Congressman said last night when
asked about this seemingly inexcusable
delay:
The only reason can find for holding
back these appointments is one that
Senator Mason, in newspaper interview,
expressed several weeks ago. He said,
or was reported to have SAID, that no
Senator or Representative need talk TO
the President about consular appointments
until after the tariff question is settled.
The interview represented Mr Mckinley
as giving this idea TO Senator Mason.
In my opinion this is the secret of the
delay. | believe the President is holding
these appointments in hand as an additional
indUcement to certain weak-kneed tariff
men to stand by the bill, and that he fears
that without this strong indgceulent the
tariff bill VIII be less effective and less
prohibitory than the measure that he
wants to have become law l cannot
imagine any other reason for his dilatori-
ness in the matter OF appointments
Another reason was alleged by a well
Informed man for the delay, and that was
that if the President should send the
fun list at once he would have the w hole
army of Officesee kers down on him.
There VIII he from twelve TO twenty dis
appointed candidates for every one who
is successful, and if they all broke out
at once they would make big deuOnstra-
ton Therefore, the President thinks it Is
better to take one or two at time, and not
TO take them too frequently It may be
that be will send in a few nominations
This week. but l scarcely believe he will
Next week ne viii send in a few more,
and so on until the end is reached. By max
ing these appointments gradually he de-
creases the chances for a united denuneia-
ton ny the rejected ones and their sup
pOrters.'

The World Of Business.
Wall street Yesterday.

New York, June 14-With the resurnp-
tion of business this morning the stock
market developed generally firmer lone
than it has shown at any time since the
recoyery in prices set in. This was not
SO evident in the mere extent Of the ad-
vances, as In the fact that the whole hst
participated In the strength shown, the
granger shares re sumiDg their former place
In tire lead of the railway list, which they
had surrendered In the past week 10
days bouyancy existed in the face OF
rather discouraging influence OF the Lon-
don market, which was reported heavy
in all its divisions, and, furthermore Tor
eign houses sold several thousands or
stocks at the opening OF business, thohgh
foreign buying was, at the same thIne, ,noted
In some OF the lower-priced Issues Ihere
was no particular explanation or the uIi-
favorable turn in the foreign dealings mere
What Is of more Importance Is that bhe
long continued liquidation of stocks held
abroad has been checked, and IL Is rea-
sonable TO expect that the next steady
drift Of foreign capital will be toward our
Investment market.
The renewal Of strength and activity
in the granger shares was due to the uuaI
circumstances of more favorable weather
news from the West and sharp ad-
vance in prices in the grain market, the
latter reflecting the belief that this coun-
try will he called upon this year TO fur-
nish the greater part OF the French ana
English crop deficiencies.
The advance in the Chicago futures
market since The close on Saturday, June
5, are In excess of cents bushel in
wheat and over / cent q bushel In com,
which means substantial accessions 10
the wealth Of the country. Several not
able advances took place in the class OF
stocks known as specialties, which did
not apparently reflect any particular de-
yelopment in their affairs. but rather the
extension of the general inquiry to their
cases and the absence OF offerings of the
stocks.
other pronounced advances were i'll Man
haitian, Western Union, Consolidated Gas
and Jersey Central, but definite reasons
for the buying were not applicable In
these cases The usual dividends were
declared on the Vanderbilt stocks, with
the exception OF that on G c. G. ST.

announcement to this effect had been
expected, and the stock rallied when il

Mr. Allison was proceeding To explain

Mr. Lindsay again broke in TO say that
the complete answer To the whole IueS-

sugar was necessary TO make hundred

the business of the Sugar Trust show Its

bill was under discussion, had kept going

surCity There are men in the Treasury
Department who are experts in this busi-
ness and know all about sugars and The
duty on them, and Mr.. Carlisle's figues

Mr. Caffery made another argument ask
ing the Republicans if such a thing 4ls the
trust came within the proper sphere of
humane consideration. He agreed with
Mr. Hoar that the trust was troublesome
affair, but really all it asked was that
it be perpetually protected.
At this point the Senate went into ex-

men are fast losing their lndepend'
! ence, as they cannot III a business OF
| their own on a small capital; but must
| clerk for some one who has an organ
lied store; and secondly that those
who can and have erected small store
rooms must fnd vacancy etareing them
in the face. It also signifies more cheap
girl labor and heads Of families out of
employment. The female labor must
ultimately lead to fewer marriage IN
ions and less domestic qualifications.
The ambitious aud worthy father
must be compelled to see his daughter
go to work as a s~tenographer and
sales-lady because he is incompetent to
earn a living to support his family.
Then there is another way in which
these lGRBe corporations and depart
ment stores cause men to lose their in
dlviduality and independence which is
far more disastrous than that just men
toned. Under a constant competitive
I'm labor) men are held 10 their
positions by q mere straw, and are
naturally made serviIe thereby. They
are naturally led to feel that they must
toady 10 the favor Of their employers
or they are likely to be made sacrifices
in cases of retirement. During cleo
tioDs, strikes, and retrenchments they
must necessarily restrain their oppo.
sItion to the system Of concentration
and department houses, else they are
likely to become decapitated. It is the
concentration 81 stem Of combine or bust
that causes this competition labor sys-
tenn and causes men to become slaves
where they might be free.
Wherever we see consolidation and
concentration, we see competition cor
respondingly abolished, and where com.
petition is abolished in trade; it is
augmented in the field of labor. This
latter cause is Immediately felt by the
farmer, for q competitive labor system
means falling prices and hard times.
But the remedy does not rest in the
idea of the Chicago merchants, who
want to boycott the large department
stores. Il rests in the cooperative
system Of destroying private gain and
substituting public wealth and public
ownership. This is the only real solu-
ton to the question!
