Now. here is a strictly new and origi-
nal issue. which it seems to us that
the Democrats have strangely over
looked Undoubtedly this awful rob-
berry OF the American people is the
combined work OF the trusts and the
goldbugs. And did all history ever
know anything like It? There is no
getting away from the figures. We
sent away more merchandise than we
got back 10 the value of nearly $l.7oo.-
ooo, 900. What became of the differ
ence? IT Just melted away. There is
nothing. says the "antr" paper. that

exchange a beggarly $3.50. 600. 900 in gold.
The inference is so plain that we won
der why the Republican failed to point
It out. IT is just as clear as mud that
the country bought that gold with that
merchandise. The Trust Octopus and
the Money Devil put their heads, or
their tails. together, ana they have
made the American people pay 1885,
779,1so in wares for $3.50, ooo. 900 in gold.
1t is awful.
This beats "the crime OF '7s' out Of
sight We are all working hard, pro-

shipping them out OF the country, and
we never get anything back. And the
poor, deluded people keep on doing 1t.

and full dinner pals. 1t is because, as
the Republican says elsewhere, the Re-
publicans appeal to 1.-THE bellies" Of the
people by talking about prosperity and
dinner pals We knew that the coun-
try was in a bad way, but not the
reason OF IT. Now we suggest to our
Democratic friends to get to work and
explain all about this lost billion and q
half. and show the people just how
criminal is this policy which makes us

No case against any public official was

Brvan.s Deal win croker.

Bryan's Deal With Croker.
There is no question that the Demo-
cratic national campaign committee is
abundantly supplied with funds in the
present campaign. Mckinley prosper
ity has reached even thus far. Mr..
Bryan says that the Democrats are not
able to collect anything from the trusts.
II this be true. the trusts are certainly
guilty of the most objectionable in
gratitude: for the Democrats succeeded
In the last congress in defeating the
only practicable legislative method of
dealing nationally with the trust prob
lem.
Be this as 1t may. the question re-
mains what Is the particular source
from which the Democrats are re-
ceiving their certainly ample funds.
The contribution Of Clark, Of Montana.
while large. was nothing as compared
with the necessities and with known
expenditures.
A light il thrown on this subject by
the Chicago Times-Heraid. which, In
a recent edition. alleges authoritatively
and az based on facts which the New
York correspondent OF that paper claims
to have within his own personal knowl-
edge. that Croker. the New York Tam
many boss, il the producer OF this cam
paign. 1t Is asserted positively and
unequivocaliy that a deal was made be-
tween Croker ana stone. which deal
was submitted to Bryan and received
his approval. that II Croker could raise
a fund OF 100000 and should carry
New York for the Democratic ticket he
should have the absolute disposal OF all
OF the federal patronage of the state.
and that his bosom friend. Murphy.
should be made secretary Of state.
The story is plausible for more rea-
sons than one. In the first place, the
fund Is in existence. In the second
place, Croker is working for the ma
tional ticket; and he never before paid
n particle OF attention to the national
ticket, contenting himself with his pri-
vate graft" the control OF New York
city. Croker In absolutely the frankest
as well as the biggest OF the mer-
cenary bandtti who live on Of politics.
He admits that his only interest in
politics Is for what ne can get out OF
II. and that his pocket is the only guide
to his political action.

seems little reason TO doubt Il. ~ Is abb

NEGOTIATING WITH RYAN.
The Seaboard Management Hoping
to Settle the Litigation.


NEW YORK, Nov. 2s.-John SHELTON
Williams, of Baltimore. President of the
Seaboard Air Line Railway system. was
in New York today but declined to con-
firm or deny the current rumor that
settlement had been arranged with
Thomas F. Ryan by which all opposition
to the consolidation OF the several rail-
roads comprised in the reorganized Sea-
board sir Line would be withdrawn. Mr..
Ryan, a. a stakeholder in the Raleigh and
CASTOR ana the SeabOard and Roanoke has
been opposing the merger persistently in
the court.
President Williams and Directors ]. VIII
liam Middendorf, Robert G. Dawson, Will
liam A. Marburg. and William +. Cochran
had a conference with other persons in
terested at the Waldorf Astoria today.
Subsequently Mr.. Williams went to the
Seaboard Air Line office at 81 Liberty
Street, and replied to requests for ;nfor-
nation with the following statement:
There is nothing to be made public at
present. / have nothing to say regarding
the Seaboard situation"
There was no conference between rep
resentatives of the Southern Railway and
the Seaboard Air Line. President Spen-
GER of the Southern. spent the grea.er
part VI the udy ih Ms ohlee W." "to""'
and left the city early this evening for
a few days shooting in the South.
From trustworthy sources it was learn
ed that President Williams and his as
sociates in the Seaboard directorate have
strong hopes of being able to make sat
isfactory settlement with Mr. Ryan.
Persons who know something about the
negotiations expressed the belief that the
questions in litigation are already prac-
tically settled. President Williams re-
turned to Baltimore tonight.

CLEANS UP $500, 900 IN CORN.
Phillips Sells His Holdings In the
November Option.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.-Peacefully and
without sensational features the great
corn corner conducted by George H. Phil
lips on the Beard of Trade today became
a thing of the past and the price dropped
to Al cents bushel, decline of cents
There was nothing spectacular in the
climax. Without display Phillips came
into the market this morning and sold
the last of his holdings. Yesterday after
noon, unknown to anybody but Phillips,
his hackers, and the shorts. the outstand-
ing deals were settled privately.
Phillips had line of 100000 when he
began his operations in the November OPP
ton. All his property was bought at be-
tween Sc and 81 cents and nearly all OF it
was sold by him between 40 and 30 cents.
1t is estimated that he made in the neigh
borhood of S4OO, 900 on the deal.
1t has been one of the most cleverly
conducted deals ever known. Phillips had
complete control of the situation. He
could easily have put the price to 70 cents
or ST. but had no desire to catch anybody
to great extent. The unique feature OF
the act that max IS it historic in the fret
full history of the Chicago Board Of Trade
is that young man of brief experience
and with but small capital. an empioye
until few months ago. was the author
of such a shaking UP among millionaires
as has not been seen in many days.
