JOHN R. M'LEAN SPEAKS
INTERVIEWS HIMSELF IN HIS GIN.
CINNATI NEWSPAPER ORGAN.
BeIittIes w. Bourke COckran's Speech
at Chicago and Pays His Respects
to senator Hanna.

CINCINNATI, O., Sept. a.-The Enquirer
tomorrow will print an interview with
Mr.. John r. Mclean. Columbus date, chief
ly on Bourke Cockran's speech at Chicago.
What do you think of the speech" was
asked Mr.. McLean.
1T does not strike me with any force.
As for argument or anything about a trust
he does not seem TO know anything. He
says he does not know what a trust means.
He wants to know who is hurt and where.
He makes the charge that there Is nothing
Tenacing about a trust. His Chicago speech
is a declaration that because he did not
know anything about trusts such a thing
did not exist"
Mr.. Mclean then goes on to illustrate,
taking examples of a city where there were
eleven separate street railways, each with
a president and a full set of officers and
~workingmen to build. relay and repair the
roads. The eleven railroads were combined
under one president and set Of officers and
workingmen. This threw out ten presidents,
ten sets Of officers and ten sets of working
men. Now 800 workingmen are supplanted
by fifty men to do the work for which these
800 men drew wages. This, Mr.. Mclean
said, is a practical Illustration of what a
trust can do and has done.
licity will remedy the evil of trusts,
Mr.. Mclean says that publicity practically
exists to-day. He says: The only prac-
teal remedy that suggests itself to my
mind would be a limit as to capitalization
and the profit on that capitalization. There
should be a limit to earnings as there
should be a limit to the life of a franchise.
/ would not throw away Mr.. Cockran's
suggestions as to publicity. / want pro-
lection for capital, I want conservatism
and l want the people who help the capt.
talists make what they have to be a sharer
and find protection"
says: Mr.. Hanna says he does not fear
trusts. Mr.. Hanna and his associates are
the beneficiries of the trust or. combine. He
tells us as If IL were a great business
achievement that iron and steel have gone
up In price. He dare not say that the Re-
publicans have made prosperity by legisla-
ton. that they have brought around a state
of affairs where everybody can make more
money, but he picks out the steel men, one
with a capital of two hundred millions and
another of heaven knows what. and tells
us what they sent out of their shops. What
about the men who take 1t out of the
ground? They temporarily only receive a
little advance in wages. When the hard
times do come, and come they will, the
workingmen will, have nothing laid up. Mr..
What a refutation of what he says is found

Here the interview concluded with q
table OF twenty-seven stocks, giving the
highest quotation this year compared with
the lowest yesterday, showing a total net
decline of over $2o6, 100 200.

HAVANA, Sept. Ex-Governor General
Brooke has issued an order permitting
municipalities TO pull down and dispose of
all temporary Spanish Notifications, return
ing to the owners such material as was con-
fiscated by the Spanish for governmental
purposes. This order was issued as the
result of numerous applications received
from many parts of the island for the re-
turn of private property unjustly held, and
also from municipalities desiring to utilize
land occupied by block houses and similar
defenses. 1t exempts the military railroad
and trocha extending from Moron to Jucaro,

suggesting that future generations of Gu
bans will be pleased to study a relic of the
style of warfare of their forefathers. Much
pleasure is expressed by the Cubans at
General Brooke's action in excluding the
trocha from the order.
Gen. Maxine Gomez has gone to Bejucal,
where are the remains OF his son, so that
he may visit the grave daily. He will also
superintend the construction of the vault
