The entering OF Labor Unions
into politics is giving the old par
ties u decided scare. What the
Unions are seeking is not state
offices so much Ms it is Hesitation
in their interests. To make leyis-
lation certain they will of course
have TO AID in the election or de.
feat of certain candidates but the
principal object of the political
action is ms said before, the secur.
ing of labor Legislation. The work
ing men of this country, the men
who toll, The laborers whose skill
aud muscle create all the real
wealth OF every state in the union,
are beginning to awaken to the fact
that no middle men, no capitalists
will vote for legislation giving a
worker more of the product Of his
own efforts, and that If they win
that they must organize and vote
for it t-Montrose Enterprise.

SILVER REPUBLICANS.

1t has been going the rounds of
n subsidized press for nearly. a
year that the silver republicans
were going baci. TO the old party
So far as We. can learn there are
a good many lawyers who think il
an honor to be retained by corpora
tions that have gone back to the
gold O. y. and very few boodlers.
but no man who left the party
because he was actuated by prin-
ciple can give satisfactory rea-
son this year for going back to
the Mckinley ranks.
There are few men in the
world who like to 20 with the crowd
and be IN the popular party.
These certainly have no excuse for
deserting Bryan and the Kansas
City platform.
We know few silver republi-
cans who are claimed by the gold
o.p., and who are saying nothing,
but on election day they will vote
for Bryan with ms much earnest
ness rs they did four years ago.
No Sir, the silver republicans are
not going to vote for Mckinley to
any great extent in this state OF
any other. They are III the fight
and should be dealt with literally
when it comes tn parcelling ou,
the offices.

EVERY two years the state sends
men TO the Legislature but fails to
instruct them whnt they are sent
for. Since John Shaw was in the
Legislature nothing has been nc
complished for this part of the
state by onr Legislators, exc-p, by
Senator Moody who managed 10
hold what Mr.. Shaw had secured.
The next representative from this
district should he instructed to put
n reservoir bill through and that
bill should be drafted now and
laid before the voters.

ALL commercial values are gov.
erned by the law Of supply and
demand. Trusts net upon this law
to hold up the prices of the pro-
ducts which they control. Trusts
do not allow any over production.
When their warehouses become
full they shut down the mills
The value of money is governed
by the same law: hence the gov.
ernment alone should exercise the
power of controlling its volume and
thus maintain it's value ns an nn.
tluctuating medium of exchange.

REVIEW OF MARKETS
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
Stocks, Money. Exchange, Bonds, Grain,
Cotton, Provisions, Etc.

New York, May 12.-Thc tone of the
trading in stocks was feverish and un-
certain to-day, and the disposition to
sell was still evident. There was an ei-
fort to support some stocks, ana the
short selling by the bears was follow
ed by buying to cover contracts. MIS-
souri, Pacific was ut one time Nited TO
a point above last night, carrying the
whole list with it. The Changers, espc-
cially Burlington, and Southern Rail-
way preferred, was pretty we'll sup
ported after the rally in Continental
Tobacco preferred from its ga points
slump. This stock recovered almost
completely before the close. Stocks
were offered freely at the higher level
of prices, and declined to the lowest pe-
fore the appearance of the bank state
ment. Peoples Gas, the local fractions
end the Steel stocks were ali notably
weak, and large losses were registered
In number of ehares, which nave not
been traded in during the recent de-
clines. Some effort was made to rally
prices after the bank statement, be-
cause it failed TO show the expected
heavy expansion III loans, but it was
successful only i'll isolated instances.
The close generally was unsteady
and net changes were mixed. The
weekly reports of the mercatile agencies
confirmed the feeling that the business
reaction has not yet reached it's limits,
and the opinions expressed in the Sem
ate yesterday OF the possibility Of
foreign complications on account of the
Monroe doctrine as applied to the
Danish West Indies, was cited by the
bears as further ground for speculative
depression.
The report of small decrease in the
loan account of the banks for the week
inetead of "a heavy increase was a sur
prise in Wall street. 1t did not alter
the belief in the reported loan TO Penn
sylvania, which is to-day reported TO
be from fifteen to twenty million dol
lars. The placing of such Il loan late
in the week would figure in the bank
statement for the averages Of only one
day. The calling of loans earlier in the
week in preparation for the new ac-
commodation would figure dispropor-
tionately in the averages. The effect
would be to throw the showing of the
new loan in the statement of the fol-
lowing week.
Bonds reacted in sympathy with
stocks and subsequently showed some
recovery. United States refunding IS
when issued, the 3's and old As de-
clined q and new As Il in the bid price
The total sales of stocks were 3l0,95C
shares.
