A RABBIT TRUST.

The Standard Oil Company and other
colossal combinations of capital are likely
to have their prestige as money making
institutions dimmed, Elf the plans of
two original promoters of Belleville, ILL.,,
are carried into execution. Profits OF

of the Western Brewing Company, of
Bellevlue, and promoter of the ''Starkel

This is what he has to say of his plan
for diverting the coin of the realm into
rabbits and profits:
while the popular cutlery against
trusts is most fierce, yet most all business

have just organized under the laws of the
State OF New Jersey the great American
rabbit trust The shares OF stock are re-

100 shares at 4 cents each will be reserved
at our office, Belleville, Ill, until all
are taken. If your money Is received
afterH all shares are taken and the books
closed, it will be promptly returned to
you.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, August 2-The small amount
of business done on the stock exchange
today was almost wholly concentrated in
four stocks. In none of the four did the
net change exceed *. Baltimore and
Ohio showed the nearest approach to ami
nation and covered an extreme range of
over two points, but it closed with net
loss of Is. The opening price was the
highest and was slightly below the Lon
don parity. The hope of an active specu-
lation in anticipation of the dividend was
quickly abandoned and the market slip
ped back into q rut of dizziness near to
last nights price level. The action OF
the directors in providing for two SEMI
annual dividends of two per cent each was
quite unexpected, as only one had been
definitely promised. There was light
furry and some fevershness in the shares
as a result But the downward course
ensued on offerings of some heavy blocks
which looked like realizing. This car
ried the stock to 74ss, which was the low
price of the Gay. Apparently the real
izing became lighter below rs and the
room shorts covered causing a slight
rally. The friends of Union Pacific then
attempted to make use of the discrepancy
more and Ohio both paying four per3ert
dividends and by few large individ'~l
transactions gave Union Pacific place
in the active list. But this movement
quickly subsidized. There was some
strength in American Sugar and in
Brooklyn Rapid Transit, the first being
affected by denials that the trade war
had been resumed and the second being
~, hot ho oil
report would show larger earnings than
have been hoped for. Continental Tobac-
co preferred was raided down As. The
general undertone of the market was
firm, with some yielding in the latter part
of the day. A feature of the day was a
slightly easier tone for time money. The
Sub-Treasury's debit balance at the clear
ing house ran up to 81 $685. 42 today and
the banks will probably gain over $4,000, o00
for the week on SubTreasury operations.
In spite of the maintenance OF the Bank
of Englands rate Of discount at last
weeks rate and the easier tone OF money
here, sterling exchange was hrm. the
English bank rate makes clear it's con-
troll of the open money market, in which
discount rates advanced an addltlOnal
fraction above the bank rate toay. The
bank further reduced It's price TOT solu

COTTON.

NewEkYork, August 2.-Liquidation in
cotton continued upon large scale again
today. The combination of bearish in
fuences which have of late been in force
continue in operation and very few trad
ers had the courage to make ventures on
the long side of the account. Some did
so on the theory that the market has
been oversold The support from this
class of traders, however, was not much
of factor. Most of the buying came
from the shorts who preferred to secure
profits. This was an active feature in
the afternoon and caused sharp rally.
The market opened easy in tone at a
decline of two to eight points and, while
showing irregularity, with occasional fee
BILE rallies, ruled in the main, downward,
the lowest prices showing a loss of twelve
to eighteen points. The cables were
worse than expected and private cables
gave little encouragement to look for
an active demand from foreign consumers.
The Southern spot markets were reported
also to be weak. Crop accounts were
almost uniformly favorable and the
weather map equally promising. Reports
on picking from the more forward parts
of the cotton belt pointed to an early
movement of new cotton. Closed ouiet
and steady, one point higher (October)
to sixteen points lower.

THE ISSUE Is PLAIN.

Imperialism has a good start in this
country but 1t is not SO far along that
1t cannot yet be throttled. Citizens who
favor republican form of government
will prepare to work and vote for
Democratic success at the polls this
fall. There is no excuse for misundei-
standing the issues. 1t Is not expansion
in legitimate lines that is at issue, but
the imperialistic form of government
that means one-man power and the
serfdom of the people. The trusts are
already preparing to entrench them
selves and IL given rein for four more
years will have succeeded In establish
ing monarchy that will refuse to
give up the reins of government even
IL the people decide that they shall.
There is nothing fancied about this.
The secret understanding with mon
archy across the sea means something
and it can mean nothing but Ill to this
republic. The treatment Of the Trans
vaal republic alone is sufficient to show
the way the lines are shifting. When
in the history of the United States
has sympathy for sister republic been
denied by the government? The great
heart of the American people is stir
red with pity for the downtrodden and
indignation against them that seek to
make them serfs. When things come
to such a pass that the government
cannot reflect the sentiment Of the peo-
pie for fear of injuring its standing
with a monarchy that Is suppressing
Independent farmers and having a hard
time doing even that, IL is time for
the people to call a halt. The Ameri-
can people want to preserve the Trans
vaal republic. The American people
blieve in freedom. The government at
Washington, that is elected to repre-
sent the sentiment and sense of the
people, refuses to lend aid to this end
but rather gives comfort to the enemies
of freedom. There is no way to dodge
the issue. 1t is empire against repub-
lie, with the Democratic party standing
fairly by the tenets of the faith that
has actuated it since the days of JEFF
ferson, for freedom and right and for
the weak against his oppressor.
