A true definition of Wall street for the
past several months would be a society
for the dissemination OF ideal securities
among the people who save money by
labor.
When we reflect that the entire fabric
Of the present prosperity is based upon
an increased price OF wheat and flour and
the necessities Of life, owing 10 tho calam-
ity OF some Other part 81 the earth. We
can see that the Spanish war is only a
continuation Of the same high prices hy
an artificial and political interpcsltion.
The farmers meantime have put in much
greater areas OF wheat than ever before.
Nothing is tho matter except that the
miserable gambler wants TO keep his game
open Sundays and holidays, and even when
his mothers corpse lies unburied in the
next room.
Wall street reminds me of Peterson's
horso in Washington, to which the mortal
body Of Abraham Lincoln was removed
from the theater aoTces the stroat A voice
was heard fiom one Of the bedrooms gay
