MILLIONS In THE TRUST.

The promoters of the bicycle trust,
capitalized the affair in the first in
stance at SSO,0O0,OOO. The men who
did it were smart" business men.
But on further consideration, they
knocked off $4O,OO0,0OO, and put the
capitalization at only S40,000,000. This
amount represents about S20,000,000 of
water" but it is claimed that more
than six per cent dividends can be paid
upon the par value of the stock.
While Mr.. Mckinley is President of
the United States, Col Sellers" seems
to have been elected president Of the
promoters of all sorts of enterprises,
especially such as are catchy
in attracting investors.
The knocking off the sum of forty
millions from the proposed capitaliza-
ton of the bicycle trust shows how
trifiing the millions" count in these
transactions. They are dealt in, as if
they were merely pebbles. One Of
Wall streets old stagers, who had re-
tired from business, used to take his
acquaintance into a ten cent lunch
resort, or milk joint as it was called,
near the Stock Exchange, which was

crowded at noon, and say: There
Sir, in that crowd you won't find man
there with five dollars in his pocket.
but every one of them will be insulted
if you propose a scheme which has
only $4,000 capital in il. Some of them
haven't the money TO pay even for
the ten cent lunch, but they viii tell
you how TO rig the market for d mil
lion or two"
The organization of the bicycle trust
is another proof of the speculative
craze which has taken possession of
the people. The economic conditions
of the country are the same now as
they We're in 1897, excepting the rise
in the value Of grain, and an increased
export trade. Upon these facts, there is
founded speculation in trust stocks,
which exceeds any speculative craze
ever known in America. The owners
of these trust stocks do, not keep them
valuable as they claim them to be,
pains to unload" them upon the pub
lie, or get rid of them.
1t seems strange that an intelligent
people, as the Americans are, will
tolerate for a moment the schemes of
capitalizing old junk, odds and ends,
and useless machinery into the mil
lions. 1t turns the money exchanges
into monte carlos, and simply raises
the business of the country out of one
sore financial depression into the air
and then drops it with thud into
another financial depression.
These extraordinary outbreaks of
commercial activity will decrease in
number, as the people are slowly edu
Gated to a knowledge of economic
laws.
AT the same time, there never was
in the financial history of the country
such large opportunities to promote
substantial business enterprises.
