NEW YORK. Oct. 1.-The stock market
advanced smsrtly on active and well
diversified dealings throughout the
forenoon, and at times its tone was one
of positive buoyancy. The first check
to the markets tendency was admins
tered by the appearance of higher rates
in the call lean money market. For the
first time in several weeks the rates for
demand leans crossed per cent, and
this material reelection of the conditions
which have been expressed in the lank
statement of the past three weeks
served to induce caution, and led II
profit realizing sales.
A further reflection, in part at least,
of the trmer local market was found in
sterling exchange, which declined an
other Ia cent, although with the LEGAL
money market at its current level there
appeared TO be no prospects of imporsa-
tions OF gold.
1t would, however, be altogether in
correct to refer the tendency of the
market merely to the covering Of short
contracts, for a feature Of the deal IS
was the pronounced strength which ap-
peared in stocks of the character of
Northern Pacific preferred and Uni-n
Pacific preferred, wherein there has
been but little activity and wherein also
there have been no evidences CT. the
Judgement there of a short account.
The preferred shares of a number of
the Industrial stocks were also notably
firm. As noted. it was difficult to de i've
definite conclusions from this mornings
information regarding the actual status
of the coal miners strike. The action
of the employees OF the Markle concern
came as surprise, inasmuch as The
course pursued by those operatives ces-
Iainly tends to vitiate the arbitration
proposition. In short this new and dis
eour&ging development in the labor
troubles explains fully the attitude as
sumed by some of the large producers,
and 1t shows clearly that there is a
point beyond which it is futile to at
tempt TO settle this trouble by c5ncilia-
tien and arbitration.
AS noted, interest in the market W s
well distributed, trading being active in
the-FaiIway list, the local traction group,
and in the industrials and specialties
Inicn Pacific common was q conspicu-
Gus feature in the first named quarter
of the market, and elsewhere there were
substantial advances in c., c., C. & st.
L., Norfolk and Western, and the
granger shares. All of the local trac-
tion stocks were strong also, and there
were material advances in Peoples Gas
and Tennessee Coal and Iron. Sugar Re
ining and American Tobacco were the
active features OF the Industrial quar-
ter.
There was an utter absence Of particu-
lar news or gossip bearing upon the
stocks conspicuous in the days dealings.
London was q factor of only small i'm
portance, although on balance foreign
houses were buyers of few thousand
shares, notably of Union Pacific, in
which instance their purchases were
probably made in connection with the
recent heavy sales in London of options,
and particularly of calls en- Ameri an
stocks maturing after election day.

There was a good market yesterday for
the opening of the week and the month.
Prices opened up and advanced all day in
nearly every part of the list but especially
IN the standard issues. The close was near
the top level and the outlook for a strong
opening this morning was excellent. Such
a beginning of the week was to be ex-
peeted after the strong close on Saturday
and with the prospects for the ending of
the miners strike improving as they
seemed TO be yesterday. II is not beyond
the range Of possibility either that politics
may have bad something to do with the
strength of the market.

There was little in the days news IF i'm
portance. London was buyer OF stocks on
balance. although some sales were made
for that market Chicago was one of the
heaviest Of the days buyers. The Gates
crowd were said to be acquiring a long line
of stocks, including Union Pacific common.
The call loan rate was still not higher than
per cent, but 1t seems not improbable
that il may get up 2 or points higher this
week. The money outlook. however. is
giving the street little anxiety. The strike
news showed that an immediate settlement
is not probable, but also ii seemed to in
dictate that there is good ground TO hope
for an early peace.

STILL MISUNDERSTANDING ABRAHAM

Mr. Bryan seems to be exercising his in

resenting Abraham Lincoln and creating
the impression that he was a supporter of
some of the heresies that go to make up

In representing Mr.. Lincoln as green

that no private corporation should issue
or control one dollar of the money the peo-
pie used. Republicans, Is this a dangerous
doctrinee If II is. Abraham Lincoln is re-
sponsible for the dangerous doctrine which
you now denounce.
This is as gross misrepresentation of
Mr.. Lincoln's views on the money question
as the garbled quotation of his message
regarding slavery was of his views con-
corning capital and labor. 1t is true that
Mr. Lincoln signed the bill providing for
an issue of greenbacks, but 1t was war

Lincoln said:

The new position taken by the German
government regarding peace negotiations
in China may introduce an embarrassing
element. Briefly. it is that before entering
on such negotiations some of the promi-
nent instigators of the recent outrages
demand is evidently aimed at prominent
persons, for it is stated that less inn
portance attaches to the number punished
than 10 their character chief instigators
high officials, not mere tools and perpetra-
tors of the outrages, but instigators and
leaders 1t may even include the Empress
dowager and some of her favorite officials
and generals. While the punishment of
these leaders may be act of justice the
demand seems ill-timed To make such a
demand preliminary to opening any nego-
tiations whatever seems like an extreme
step and calculated to Illustrate peace
negotiations before they are begun. 1t will
almost certainly introduce new clement
of discord among the powers. not more
than one or two of them. probably only
Great Britain, will side with Germany in
the matter. 1t would seem wiser TO have
left the question thus raised by Germany
at the threshold of negotiations for future
settlement. Nevertheless the demand turns
the tables on Russia and puts Germany in
the lead as dictator OF policies.

HANNA,s CHALLENGE.

fore the Mckinley Commercial Club, SEN
ator Hanna made the following personal
statement:
want to make this statement here. once
and for ALL in reply TO all these charges
and insinuations with reference to my
aspect toward labor: If any man in the
United States of America can bring into
my presence a man who has ever worked
for me and truthfully state and substan-
tiate that ! have refused to meet at any
time and anywhere any man I'm my employ.
that l have ever Intentionally done any
man a harm. that L have ever insisted on
lowering wages to any man who works for
me. or who can truthfully say that I have
cone evil TO him. / will resign from the
United States Senate Tomorrow.
This may be supplemented with a state
ment by Congressman Lorimer. of Chicago.
who has invited Senator Hanna to address
a workingmen's meeting in his district. He
says:
Mr.. Hanna employs about 5000 men, and
he pays the best wages i'm the branch of
had strike among his men. Every griev-
ance his men have presented has been con-
sidered by him and settled without diff
Guilty by himself and the men. This is. the
kind of man Mr.. Hanna is, and the labor
ing men who know him. and there are
thousands OF them, look up to him. They
regard him as their friend. He comes from
the labor ranks himself. All he has comes
from his own effort and energy. | want
Mr.. Hanna to speak in my district because
l want the workingmen there to have an
opportunity to see and hear this man who
has been maligned as "a labor crusher"
Such facts as these do not appear in
Democratic partisan editorials or cartoons
Sensible workingmen should ask them
selves who is the best friend of labor. he
who employs 5000 men. pays good wages
which he has never lowered and settles all
differences with his employees In an amic-
able way, or he who employs nobody, pays
no wages. but goes about the country
preaching the gospel of discomfort. stirring
up strife between capital and labor,
fomenting strikes, disseminating ideas
antagonistic to conciliatory methods and
advocating the placing of American labor
on a Mexican basis. Which Is the best
friend of American l$bor-Mark Hanna or

The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1900-09-20

Mr.. Bryan is prattling about government
men and intimating that Republican legis-
lation is responsible for injunction pro-
ceedings to prevent violence. The process
of injunction is older than the Republican
party. Moreover. the phrase government
by injunction is an invention of Governor
Altgeld when Attorney General Olney,
acting under Mr.. Cleveland. used the in
junction to suppress public disturbance
which Altgeld shamefully encouraged. Mr..
Bryan is putting his highly respectable
friends like Olney. Schurz and Bourke
Cochran. in a very embarrassing position
by his reiteration of his encouragement Of
lawlessness, which was so popular in 1896
