The Washington correspondent OF
the New York Journal OF Commerce
makes some plain statements in the
Issue OF Sept 10 on the very definite
and specific facts on export prices in
the Democratic Campaign Book. He
says. in part:
Probably the most important
Democratic textbook Is that lower ex.
port prices are constantly fxed by
American manufacturers. who thus
discriminate in favor Of the foreign
consumer. while at the same time max.
ing their main profit In the domestic
market The claim. OF course. is very
far from new. but IL is now backed up
by evidence collected by the Demo
Gratis and put into form where II con
stitutes a distinct body OF facts OF the
most specific character.
I'm the body of evidence which Is
now presented by the Democratic Cam
paign Book. IL seems to be shown that
the prices fixed at a lower point fol
export are those of commodities on
which there is q high measure Of pro
lection. That the goods ave retailed al
lower prices to the consumer abroad
than to the consumer at home seems
equally certain from the concrete cases
OF such discrimination there cited
which Determinations are shown u
exist is large enough to show that the
practice is much more prevalent thar

i industrial commission, and to sugges
that II Is even more widespread thar

In short. 1t would appear plain tina

cisely the form which has been sup
posed by many and to an extent evel
greater than that which has been be

the proposition that the cost Of man

the American manufacturer canno
meet the foreigner even in our owl
country. But IL the cost Of manufat
ture is lower here than abroad an

A TRUST HoLD-up
How Morgan Gave Beef Pack
ers q Dose Of Their Own
Medicine.

When the beefpackers OF the coun-
try came 20 form their combine for
higher prizes for the consumer and
lower prices for the raiser OF cattle,
they ran against q snag in the person
OF J. Pierront Morgan. who had just
completed he organization Of the ship
ping combine represented In the Inter
national Mercantile Marine company
The snag ~as not intended TO be bar
TO the packers trust. but rather to
show what power such a trust as the
shipping combine could WELD This
is the language of Mr. Morgan to the
beef packers committee:
Unless I am given the underwriting
OF the bonds TO complete the consolida
ton OF the packing houses. will stoI

does not apply TO trusts when operat
ing among themselves. and the little
furry among the packers when thii
ultimatum was pronounced was soor
followed by complete concession to thu
demands of the Wall street promoter
The packers knew that they could no
stand up against Morgan when be wa
in . position TO carry his threat int
execution. and they met the PROPOSE

the people have so long manifeste'
while submitting to their own extor

United States Senator Fairbanks
has entered the role Of the funny man
and is talking to the coal miners OF
Indiana on the SUBJECT OF prosperity.
But not q man who listened to his
speeches has had his wages increased
in the past two years. while every
thing that he buys has appreciated In
price. Mr. Fairbanks is himself very
prosperous. no doubt. but when he
talks to laboring people candor should
compel him to show them how the
trusts are reducing their earning CO
pacity by increasing the cost Of living
And Mr.. Fairbanks has been In the
senate six years and has never raised
his voice In opposition to the robbery
which the trusts have inaugurated.

No thinking man will be deceived

As might have been expected. the
conference of the anthracite coal bar
ons and miners representatives with
President Roosevelt failed TO result in
. settlement OF the strike. The Goa
road presidents were arrogant and met
the presidents representation of con
ditions throughout the country with q
demand that federal troops be sent tc
the anthracite fields. saying that a
condition OF anarchy exists and that

words. the coal barons want the gov
eminent to Cverawe the strikers with
bayonets and thus bring about q con
dition that will force them to return
To work at the starvation wages paid
before the strike and at the expense OF

OF course there is little sympathy
with the striking miners among that
class which has SO long oppressed
them. and the steps taken to brins
about q settlement have resulted from
fear Of q political revolution rather
than from sympathy for suffering ku
manity. Senator Quay has declared
that Pennsylvania will elect q Demo

FOUGHT TO THE DEATH
Young Bank Clerk Died in De-
Tense of institution in Which
He Was Employed.

La Porte, Ind, Nov. 30.-MoseIy
Reynolds. aged is. employed as clerk
in the bank at Westville, in this coun-
ty. was shot and killed at an early
hour this morning by robbers, who had
broken into the place and were about
TO blow open the safe. The men es-
capped in a stolen rig. Adolph Koontz,
passing the building early this morn
ing, discovered a broken window and
called to REYNOLDS but received no re-
Spouse. He reported the circumstance
to E. S. Smith, owner of the bank,
who investigated, finding his clerk
dead in a pool of blood on the floor
At his side were an empty revolver
and another partially empty. Exam
ination showed evidences of a des-
perate battle. More than twenty shots
had been exchanged.
From the trail of blood left by the
robbers it is believed one of the men
was wounded. The rig in which they
escaped was abandoned skies miles
south of Westville. Sheriff Small and
a posse of men are securing the coun-
try for the men. A reward of 1000
has been offered for the apprehension
of the robbers. Pinkerton detectives,
sent to the scene by the American
Bankers association, of which the
Westville bank is a member, are also
working on the case. Young Reynolds
received three bullet wounds, one
through the head, the second through
the neck and the third through the
heart

VESSELS IDLE IN THE HARBoR
Hands Desert as Fast as They Arrive
at MarseilIes.

MarseiIles, Nov. 30.-The strike at
this port, which was started last week
by the strikers to obtain an increase of
wages, is now practically complete as
regards the steamers here. AS ships
arrive the hands desert and the harbOr
is so crowded by empty vessels that it
is difficult to find room for newcomers.
There has been no disorder as yet, but
the government is sending troops to
meet any emergency, two regiments of
cavalry arriving today.
The strike practically has paralyZed
commerce along the coast. and it is
spreading to other ports Six hundred
passengers are now waiting at Mar
settles for transportation 60 Algiers.
The mails for Corsica, Algeria and Tu-
mis- are also delayed from twenty-four
to forty-eight hours, but the authori-
ties succeeded in forwarding quantity
of sacks Saturday, and it was an
nounced today that the government has
arranged to assure the mail service
by means of naval vessels. The gov
eminent also will furnish the regular
liners with seamen from the navy. AS
Corsica is largely dependent on the
steamer service from Marseilles for
provisions. the scarcity of other neces-
stiles is already being felt in the island.
The strikers committee tonight tela-
graphed to the minister of marine that
If the strike was not settled in five
days an appeal would be issued for a
general strike to all the ports of
France.

STREET ROWING FOR FINDS.
Habit Picked Up From Reading the
Lost and Found Columns.
New Orleans Picayune. !

The lost and found column Of the
newspaper is responsible for a rather
peculiar habit" said an observant cftf-
zen, and It produces d rather singular
mental condition. 1t has caused a
great many persons 10 make a rather
close study Of the sidewalks Of the city,
and no doubt many of them live in
constant hope Of picking up something
very valuable. They have all sorts of
wild dreams about finding jewelry
more or less valuable, and big rolls Of
money and things of that sort / am
not speaking of the unhappy and ex-
tremely unfortunate class we find in
the city whose life is spent in search
ing the sidewalks and the cutters for
whatever trifie they may pick up.
have in mind a different sort of people
people who are more cultured and re-
fined and whose minds have by degrees
bent into the groove. Maybe some Of
them have found something at some
time or other, and this has caused them
to search more or less diligently the
sidewalks as they rush along the street.
I know of one case of this sort. a
young man who has been so influenced
by the habit that he goes along the
street with his head down. often pass
ing his nearest and closest friends
without seeing them He made the
statement 70 me a few days ago that
during the past year he had found six
silver dimes on the sidewalk. and he
had gradually drifted into the habit OF
searching the sidewalk with his eyes
as he passed along the streets. Be
sides, he said, I am always reading
the lost and found column in the news
papers, and the thing has sort of
fascination for ne It has produced a
perpetual condition of mental excite
ment, and, of course, 1 get a great deal
Of pleasure out of it Now, here is a
curious thing Men for some time have
INDUCED in the foolish habit of count
ing cracks in the sidewalk or telegraph
poles or touching things with their
hands, but few of US have been aware
of the existence Of a class of men who
are constantly trying to find something
as they brush along the street When
We have found men looking intently at
the sidewalk we have supposed that
they were counting the cracks or try
ing to keep from stepping on cracks, or
making some sort of curious study OF
the sidewalks topography, but instead
we now learn that they are actually
looking for wealth, trying 70 find some,
thing that somebody else has lost
What strange. flights fancy doth take in
these latter days"
