Paper Money Trust.

At the opening of the last session of
Congress the Republican leaders pressed
through the House and Senate a Mn
creating paper money trust and SIR
rendered into the hands Of the national
banks complete control Of the national
currency. Just as Congress was closing
a farcical and hypocritical attempt was
made to deceive the public by the intro
duction Of an antitrust amendment and
an antitrust bill. The amendment was
not necessary and was intended TO de-
prive the states Of the power which they
now possess, rather than to confer upon
Congress new authority. This vicious
amendment was defeated in the House
by the Democrats. The Republican lead
srs then confessed the amendment un-
necessary by introducing an anti,trust
bill, which was supported by the Demo-
Gratis. but which died in the Senate. lust
as 1t was expected to die. The Republic
an majority in the Senate referred the
bill to the judiciary committee against
the protests Of the Democrats. who urged
its immediate passage. The Republican
party draws its contributions from the
trusts during the campaign, and paws
back its obligations by leaving the peo-
pie at the mercy Of the trusts between
campaigns.

trusts upon various classes Reference

Appeal to Freemen.

Whether this nation shall be looked ND
on as Lafayette, aiding others to obtain
their freedom and enjoying their grati-
tude. or as Lord Give, fastening
hateful sovereignty upon a weaker peo-
pie and receiving hatred In return, Is a
question which you must help to decide.
Let me borrow a story which has already
been applied to the present situation. A
man passed along a street Of q great city.
unmlndful Of the merchandise piled on
either side: he sought out a bird store.
and purchasing number OF birds opened
their cages and allowed them TO fly away.
When asked why he thus wasted his
money he replied: Il was once captive
myself. and II gives me Joy to be the
means of setting any captive free"
This nation has been a liberator. n
first secured the freedom Of its own peo-
pie. and from that day on has furnished
the example which has lead to the over
throw OF monachlcal rule In many ma
tons. Let It not falter now. II Is prob
able that the $50 0oo.O .Ooo paid to Spain can
be secured from the Filipinos, but even n
Il cannot. It Is better to consider that
sum as a contribution to be spread on
the doctrine OF self-government than IN

chase price OF people or their lands Citi-

STOCKS AND BONDs

New York, April 4.-The stock market
again reflected strong buying power to-
day, orders for stocks coming from widely
separate sources both by cable and tele-
graph. The demand showed a tendency
to converge on a few stocks and strength
was shifted from one group to another.
Prices turned back from the highest
level in the case Of all the active stocks,
under the influence Of proft-taking by
the professional room traders on the DAYS
advance. The sustaining force of special
stocks was also availed OF to take profits
on stocks which have already enjoyed a
notable advance The market was almost
entirely relieved from any depressing fac
cor in the shape Of positive weakness in
individual stocks. though some pressure
was brought TO bear on Federal Steel and
on Peoples Gas. The weakness of Fed
eral Steel had by no means as much in
iuenee as hitherto during the week The
net result OF the days trading is a sub
stantially higher average of prices and
an important digestion of realizing sales
without any material harm being done to
prices. The movement I'm Pennsylvania
was the most impressive OF the day ow-
ing 20 the very extensive trading and
the large individual transactions which

No special news reached the public to
account for the movement ana It was

use and the accumulation of evidences Of

Ball Trick Get a turner TO make
large. wooden ball and have a hole bored
through the ball not straight but curved.
Through this hole pass fine rope or
thick cord and tie knot in each end TO
prevent its coming off, In showing the
ball have the cord out of it and then N

the hole in the ball The ball will run
easily backwards and forwards on the
rope. Taking the ball at one end of the
rome. place your foot on the other and
hold it almost perpendicular and allow
the ball to slide down; you cen cause t
to stop instantly by simply drawing The
rome perfectly tight and upon again
slackening it the ball will again slide
down the rope. In this way the ball can
be made to walk a few inches and then
stop and then to go on again, by straining
or slackening the rope.

COTTON EuTIrREs-

New York, April 4.-Cotton prices took
a high level to-day, following stronger
cables The market opened steady at an
advance Of l@7 points and further ad-
vanced 10d19 points. The upward move
ment forced local covering without slim
ulating speculative trading by outsiders.
II was not a broad market. The ad-
vance was accelerated by unsatisfactory
reports from the cotton belt regarding the
crop and also disappointing receipts at
ports and interior cables reported that
sellers were scarce in the English market,
while there was a good demand from
Manchester and the continent others
said the rise was due to manipulation.
Local traders were disposed to take the
short side Of the account, but were in
Inundated by fears Of manipulation. In
the early afternoon there was considera-

ruled somewhat easier. Later prices again
rallied on heavy buying Of May and Au-

with prices net sd23 points higher.
