THE WHEAT WAR.
How the Great Fight 10 Managed by tn,
Two Combatants.

How the Great Fight 10 Managed by the
Two Com batants.
From the Hartford Times.
When Mr.. Armour has q speculation
on foot his railroad abandons the
public service to which it is bound in
law and justice, and devOtes itself to
furthering his immediate personal in
terest. This is the burden of the dis
patches from Chicago that deal with
progress of the "wheat battle" Mr..
"Joe" Letter has committed himself to
buy wheat and Mr.. Phil. Armour has
undertaken to overload and crush him,
incidently making q good deal of
money. 1t would be an interesting
spectacle in any case, because enorm-
GUS sums of money are involved; men
are stalking fortunes; not only their
own, but those of of other people, and
this is magnificent display of cour-
age and persistence.
But like most wars, this is wa9ed
largely at the cost of innocent out
siders. just as the residents of the
country which becomes the seat of the
war have their lands Overriden, their
cattle seized, and various and sundry
ordinary rights set aside and ignored,
80 the ordinary, plain, honest dealers,
the farmers, and manufacturers, and
all who do ordinary business for a
fair profit, suffer like nom cOmbatants,
One dispatch says:
Freight consigned by Chicago job
bers to the Northwest and farm pro-
ducts billed to Chicago are on the side
tracks. Never before have the
resources of Armour been so aptly dis
played. When he gave the word his
railroad ignored public service, rush.
ed thousands of empty cars to Duluth
and Minneapolis, loaded them with
Armour wheat, and sent train after
train speeding into Chicago.
Apart from this disregard of pub
nc and private rights, the duel is q
Interesting as if it were fought with
swords, and continued day after day
Letter has practically undertaken
TO- pay for all the wheat that can be
offered In Chicago up to the end of
this month. Millions of bushels have
come already. 1t Is estimated that he
will have to ray for at least 100000
bushels. He says: "When bought it
| expected to pay for it. Let itcome." 1t
is not merely Letters money that is
involved. He is said to have two or
three banks behind him. That is. the
banks are Joined in the speculation
They lend up to 90 cents a bushel on
wheat. As far as the amount is con-
cerned this may be safe, but the bust
ness is dangerous when such a war is
on.
1t is all interesting and impressive
but the sympathy really ought to 20 to
the ordinary plain people whose
interests are neglected or damaged
so that two spectators may better
carry out their private contest as to
which shall make a fortune out OF
artificial conditions, bad for people al
large which he has helped create fol-
his own advantage.
