SERTIoNS

Cleveland Onto. Sept. Ex-senator NJ. A. Hanna
saw a copy Of the dispatch from Cincinnati to-day
giving an Interview with John r. Mclean in refer
ence to trusts and the heavy shr!nkage Of stocks in
Wall Street
so far as Republicans are concerned said Mr..
Hanna, they are the bencfciaries OF trusts or
combines to no greater extent than Mr.. Mclean
and his Democratic friends.
Mr. McIean's statement in reference to the
heavy shrinkage IN stock values during the last
Few days IS simply ridiculous. The intrinsic value
or the earning power of the properties themselves
has IN no wise been changed by the slump in
stocks. Neither have the wages OF the wage Garner
been affected"
MI Hanna declared that he had never mon
toned the steel industry specifically as having
been benefited moro than any other industry under
the present Administration. but included In his
statement all classes OF trade.
