FREE SEED Distribution
PRESIDENT M'CULLoUGH, OF THE
AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSO-
CATION, FIGHTING III
REASONS FOR HIS OPPOSITION
Government Gives Away in COmpe-
tftiOn With Sale of Goods ut
Living Prices, and Only
to Make Votes.

There is nothing that the seedmen Of
the entire country are more interested in
than the free distribution of seeds among
the people. They are interested In it in
negative way; that is. they can see no
excuse for the government being in the
seed business at all, and much less In the
seed business to give away seeds that take
the place of just so many seeds that
might otherwise be sold by the regular
dealers. ,
The plan was inaugurated in the first
place so that seeds of a new or better va
rtety than those raised in the country
and available TO farmers might be put
into their hands for experimental pur-
poses. But the plan has so degenerated
that now the seeds that are distributed,
it's claimed. are not only not new or
foreign varieties, but a very poor quality
OF ordinary homegrown seeds.
Albert Mccullough, of j. NJ McCul-
lough's Sons. is president of the American
Seed Trade associa ton, and in that capa.
city has been conducting campaign
against the annual distribution of seeds
by the government. The question was
put to Mr.. Mccullough the ether day as
to how extensive the operations of the
government were in this direction, and
why the seed men complained of the
practice so bitterly.
NOW. ASKING FOR BIDS.
YES" said Mr. MCCULLOUGH. s'the de-
partment of agriculture is now asking for
bids for the supply of seed for the use
of the department in 1902. It strikes me
at this time it is very pertinent to ask
why such thing as this is allowed or
carried on by the government; that is,
the government seed shop for the free
distribution Of seeds at an annual ex-
pense to the government. or the people.
of many thousand dollars without ap-
parently any benefits whatever, excepting
to a very limited number
In these times when memorials are
being prepared and presented to congress
by the different organizations, such as
boards of trade and Chambers of Com
merce, to do away with the war tax
on special articles and for the substituting
steamship companies and the building Of
canals. passage of the Colon BILL ad
inffnitum, it seems that it is opportune

NEW YORK, Dec. 22zToday's specula-
ton in stocks took on Something of the
Saturnalian spirit that attaches to the
Christmas holiday celebration by inherit
ance from ancient Pagan customs. The
days performance in the stock market
cannot be adequately described other
wise than as speculative orgy Individual
considerations that might attach to spec
ial stocks and affect their value were
apparently taken no account of and there
was wild scramble to buy all sorts and
conditions Of stocks, as though all future
hopes Of wealth and prosperity depended
on an ownership OF stocks before Christ
mas There was no news of Importance
to put any new phase on the question:
of values, present or prospective. The
buying seemed to present the cumulative
effect upon financial sentiment of the
imposing rise in prices during the week
and the,t apparently, -Hndiminished con-
fldence manifested by large capitalists
by their continued large absorption of
securities. At the fall of the hammer on
the chairmau's desk this morning, 1900
shares of Northern Pacific were instant
ly bought in a single block. First trans
actions III q number Of other important
stocks ranged from 1.0e0 shares up to L.
200. With a gigantic Christmas tree
decked out in gIttering ornaments and
festoons of Christmas greens and bunting
waving over the floor of the exchange,
the brokers bought stocks with as much
abandon as. though they were a part OF
the Christmas celebration and the gaycty
of the occasion depended fupon it. The
market apparently ran wild and was
only quieted by an accession of selling
orders invited by the extreme advance
attained by some stocks. But the buy
ing was resumed IN the last half hour
after the bank statement appeared and
q number of stocks were rushed to tha
top level of the day. The ociosing was
animated and irregular. Some of the ex-
