up to 81 .G5. Trade was much broader than
during the bulges of Monday and yester-
day. when She selling of not to exceed
50,010 bushels caused the market to quiet
down. Buying orders came from all parts
of the pit, mostly for lots of from 5000 to
5000 bushels. but even for such small lots
sellers were scarce and the market for
the moment was apparently in danger of
running away. Then the bull clique bro
kers came to the rescue but not until at
least 10000 bushels had been offered and
eagerly taken did the excitement die
down. About 11:45 n. m. however, shorts
got on the rampage again. The market
in the meantime had recovered 10 s1.G5,
having sold down TO Sl03I. An attempt

Ono dollar five and half was bid with
no takers. Then the market jumped &c

out; then back it went to 81 0Ga.. but only
for moment. when it turned again,
jumping to sl09 in three bids. There the
thoroughly frightened shorts were enabled

There was apparently a general belief
among traders that the December bulls
intended to carry the deal in that option TO

strengthened by the announcement that

EcKELs, cANDoR.

Comptroller Eckels is a bold man, one
who does not beat about the bush
when a proposition is submitted and
currency is the question under consid-
Grafton. We like the stand he took at
the meeting of the bankers in Detroit,
because it showed the true intent of
those who would fix q perpetual gold
standard on the people of this country.
What he said serves notice upon those
trying to make themselves believe that
silver may receive some help from this
administration. that they are only cod
ding themselves. Comptroller Eckels
reflects the sentiments and designs d.G
the money power as perhaps no other
man would, and it is refreshing to have
such men come out in the open.
This is what he uttered at that meet
ing of bankers on Wednesday last:
1 myself have never in the past way
cred in the belief. nor do l now, that
in the end we will be possessed of a
banking and currency system SO strong
as to make impregnable the eountry's
credit. Its coming may be long de-
layed and only be attained after a
tremendous loss TO capital and injury
to labor 1t was the misery and dis
tress entailed by the assignats and
mandates OF the French revolution that
placed France UPON the solid rock Of
sound finance. Ii took the threatened
starvation OF the peasantry of a great
nation to wipe out the corn laws of
England, but the victory when OBJ
tanned was complete. And thus, in
conformity with the course OF history,
it is possible that before the nation S
financial structure rests upon foun-
dation firm as the eternal hills" the
American people will be called upon
to pass through the awful experscnce
and loss which would follow in the
wake Of unchecked paper and silver
iatism,
That is plain enough. though he is
reckless in what he said about the
French assignats- But no matter; he
makes it clear that the money power,
in order to accomplish the ends Of
financial slavery, stand ready to pre-
cipitate panic and inlet starvation
upon the producing classes. Capital
may be wiped cut and labor stabbed
70 the heart, but the gold standard
must rest upon a foundation firm as
the eternal hills
There Is no compromise with such
men as Eckels and the bankers who
stand behind him. This is the force
that controlled the ST. Louis conven-
ton and inspired It's platform. This is
the force that holds the Republican
party in g. spell and unites them in
every state convention so far held for
the gold standard; and this is the force
