New York, January to.-The stock market
was dull and narrow today except for the

meeting there was a considerable show OF

conviction that the sugar trade war has more

caused fear that unless conditions change
dividends on the stock may be suspended The
stock declined rapidly the price varying as
much as 1i9 between salee, but the large
and persistent outstanding short interest in
the stock served a. recuperative force BY
buying to cover contracts and the stock rallied
near the close. All the prominent ndustrals
were quite sharply affected in sympathy, the
bears setting the opportunity to offer prices
down and uncover stop loss orders The
railways were much less affected although the
earlier gains were mostly wiped out. There
was good buylng In the railroads at the dc.
cline led by the Baltimore and Ohio stocks on
the companys strong statement OF December
earnings. The general relaxation In money
rates all over the world had induced CON

many will be reduced tomorrow and board
room traders were inclined to buy stocks in
anticipation Of foreign demand on this &C
count
Stocks were generally firm today in foreign
markets on account Of the easier money rates,
but it is very clear that the money market
oweC its abundance and ease to the thorough
liquidation of speculative accounts which
has been effected all over the world in the
last few days and to lack of renewed specu-

The money market was narrow affair. The

JOE MITCHELL CHAppLE, editor OF
(Applause.)

JOE MITCHELL CHAPPLE, editor Of
the National Magazine keeps ham
mering away at trusts. He thinks
he has ray OF light on the census
rainbow of 1900
The trust agitation has not
abated The investigation and facts
dehuced from the 1900 census will
have an effect in bringing matters
to a crisis. Estimates as to the total
population are now in order, and it
is said Mr.. Merriam has put it at
74,0O0,0O0 The trust question is
one that the various States must he
made to solve. Circulars are now
being sent out from Delaware, re-
vealing more lenient or looser cor
poration regulations than even New
Jersey, the pest-hole of corporate
corruption. And with the specific
inside facts revealed by the census,
the watered and inflated corpora
tions are going to fall under the
searchlight of federal publicity at
all events; and this will give the
various States some pretty broad
hints that it will be well to regard.
The ethical proposition of President
Hadley of Yale and William J
Bryan to socially ostracise any man
connected with trust. strikes at a
vulnerable point in human nature.
But what about the multiplied en-
dowments dumped upon rich uni
versities such AZ Yale, when a
wealthy man gets his ticket for eter-
nifty? The philanthrophic epidemic
of the past year is commendable, of
American generosity--but the "phil-
anthropist with his pile" needs quite
as much direction and sympathetic
counsel as the imam with the hoe"
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1900-02-10
SCUM - TALK.

Here is the way Bryan lays down
the facts in front Of the people:
My friends, you hear people say
that you ought not to resurrect this
question. l want to tell you that
the American people never adopted
the gold standard. hear people
talk about a wonderful victory for
the gold standard in 1895. Why,
have you read the history of that
campaign? Six million five hun
bred thousand voters voted for in
dependent bimetallism at the rate
of 16 to /, without waiting for the
consent of any other nation, and
seven million voted for a ticket
pledged to international bimetal-
ism; thirteen and a half million
voted for the double standard as
against the gold standard, and only
one hundred and thirty-two thous-
and supported the only ticket that
ever stood for a gold standard in
the United States. (Applause.) l
want you to know that the only
party that ever went before this
nation with gold standard plat
form sprang into existence just be
fore the election and sprang out of
existence Immediately afterwards.
(Applause.)

Arid and semi-arid Regions to be In
The Director OF the Census desires
to impress upon all engaged in ag-
rlcultural pursuits in the arid and
suh-humid regions of the United
States, the Importance of cO-Opera-
ting with the Census Office in the
work of collecting data relating to
irrigation.
Without such cooperation, full
and accurate showing of the progress
and development of these regions
cannot be assured, and the sections
wherein reports are incomplete, will
suffer in comparison with those from
which fuller information has been
secured.
In thirteen States and Territories,
irrigation, wholly or in part, is re-
lied upon to produce crops. 1t is
the application, in the strictest
sense, of scientific methods in farm.
ing. Its continued development re-
suits in internal expansion of the
public domain with which no in
dividual or political party can find
fault. 1t conquers the encroaching
desert and reclaims millions of acres
of waste lands. 1t means an in
crease in the productive area of our
country great enough to feed and
clothe another nation almost as
populous as our own.
1t is therefore apparent that an
accurate Census of Irrigation is of
great Importance. The fact that its
success depends in some degree up
on the irrigators themselves should
awaken their hearty interest in this
work. Parties owning canals and
