Edgar howard on Howell.

The champions of Ed Howell have called
upon Edgar Howard for a testimonial to
square that corporation candidate with the
anti-monopoly element Of the democratic
party. Unde this pressure Edgar Howard
has been induced to say in his paper, the
Columbus Telegram, that Howell is super
Tor In every sense to the nominees Of the
opposing republican factions and has al
ways been "loyal 10 democratic interests. Z"
While this is not very strong, It is still
paraded by the Howell organ as an appeal
10 democrats to stand together.
What Edgar Howard really thiHks OF Ed
Howell can, however. best be gathered
from what he has written and printed
about him on previous occasions. when no

How They Do Business.

While the brokers' relation to his Gus
toner is the same as that of an agent to
his principal. and that of a lawyer to his
client, yet there is an important difference
which makes the stock brokers' business
peculiar unto itself Let me try to make
the mechanism clear. l will suppose that
l am about to buy 100 shares of stock as
a speculation. So / instruct my broker
to make the purchase. He demands in
evey case margin of at least 10 per cent
of the market price of the stock. If the
100 shares sell for $4,000 | must put up
as margin at least $1,000 The broker then
buys the stock in the exchange according
to my directions. Now / am legally the
owner of that stock. Actually l never

The Brokers' Earnings.

The broker in stocks is the connecting
link between buyers and sellers of secur-
ties. He acts as the agent for investors
and spectators. The commission broker
does not usually operate on his own
count. Indeed, 1t is a rule in most broker
age houses that the members and employees
of the firm must not speculate. This rule
may be "honored more in the breach than
in the Observance but it Is the rule, and
many brokers rigidly adhere to 1t. The profit
of the broker is obtained from the com
mission which, under the laws Of the OK
change, he Is permitted to charge his
toner, and from the interest he may DC
mand on the money he loans him. All
brokers OF the stock exchange are held
strictly to the same rate of commission but
there may be a difference in the interest
rate, although the usual rule Is for the
broker to take the average of all The call
and time loans he has obtained on his own
account, and. adding a trfe for otti;c
penses to charge his customer with Tat
average.
In active times the brokers' business is
very profitable, but in periods of stagnation
he may not be able to pay even his Office
rent. ON the total stock transactions or
1901. making a calculation based on par
value and uniform commission of one
eighth of l per cent, the total commissions
divided equally among the LOO members
would have given each years income OF
SIS, 400, from which expenses would have to
be deducted. But that is really no fair eS-
innate for only about one-half the mem
bers do business directly for the acc ,unt of
the puolc, and not all the transa ct;ons
were at tho rate of one-eighth of / per
cent commission, for much of the business
was for other members at a lower rate.
Then there We're large transactions in
bonds, Of which no account was taken In
