Is to ride 33 miles in an hour at some of

won it by riding SO miles and 442 yards.
An experienced bicycle rider says
that one should take a long breath into
the lungs before attempting to ride
uphill, and that only a slow, steady
gait should be maintained. Steep in
clines should be walked up, as that
rests the whole body after a steady
"spin."

FREELAND, PENN'A, JULY %, 1s9,
From the New York journal.


Instead of the glorious victory over
the Sugar trust, upon which the house
tariff confereeS were congratulating
themselves and the country on Satur-
day, the conference had ended in an in
glorious defeat And not only has the
defeat itself been ignominiOus, but the
circumstances attending it have been
! unSpeakably disgraceful. On Saturday
the confcrces allowed it to be understood
that the senate had receded from its
the trust, and that the house schedule
would be adopted substantially in its
original form. On the strength of this
impression sugar stock declined one per
cent from the previous days figures,
and lG,i iO5 shares were sold at from
1884 to 134a-. When the truth came
out on Monday, and it was seen that the
trust had secured substantially every
thing the senate had granted it, and in
some respects actually more, the rush
for sugar turned into u Klondykc STAN
pede. Fortunes were made in five
minutes surprising anything that the
miners of the Yukon had amaSscd in n
years struggle with ice and starvation
The stock of the Sugar trust scared to
l44}4, the highest price on record, and
the aStutc gamblers who had bought ON
Saturday cleared a profit Of Sll per
share.
In view of these facts, it is impossible
to resist the conclusion that the false
reports of Saturday were given ont from
the committee room for the purpose of
influencing the stock market. The
spectators who are moulding lcgiSla-
tion at Washington for their own profit
are not satisfied with the enormous
gains they could make by the natural
operation Of their legal engincry. They
must add the additional profits which
their inside position enables them 10
garner from the dissemination of mis-
leading information. They would have
had good thing in simply holding sugar
stock for rise, but they had a better
one in first depressing the market to
freeze out tmid holders and then letting
it boom. The congress of the United
States was turned into an adjunct of
Wall street buckot shop. That is the
shameful fact that will stand ont above
all the other nfamies of this disgrace
full episode.
The Republican leaders have made a
feeble effort to maintain the pretcncc
that the conference report has not IA
vorcd the trusts, but the market bellies
them There is no explaining away thc
stubborn fact that 10000 shares of
sugar stock were bought on Monday, on
the strength of that report at the high
est price ever known.
The conference report makes a pres
cnt to the trust of the Sl5, 900, 900 allow
ed it by the senate bill on its imports OF
raw sugar already in stock. Mr.. Dinglcy
admitted that gift in his speech, when
he said that cover $40, 900, 900 has been
lost in this years revenues by the im-
portation of wool and sugar and other
things, the duty on which was raised in
the bill" Why, then, does he not adyo-
cate Secretary Cages plan of recovering
that money by an internal revenue tax.
Is it because the Sugar trust has fore
closed its mortgage on the Republican
party?
