was the sole reliance of the bull
clique in breaking down natural
laws. Practically unlimited cash
was at the control of the men in the
movement Stocks in hand and
afoat, wheat and -four held by mill
ers, and the amount of old wheat
retained by grocers, has never at any
time been low enough to set against
the great and finely growing crop
now approaching harvest, as fac
tors in a bull market. And the men
in this conspiracy must have been
well aware that, in support of these
natural adverse conditions, great
many traders would take the short
side of the market against their dar
ing attempt to defeat the laws OF
nature. As matter of fact, few
men of great wealth and wide exper-
fence have fought the fight against
them, but by far the greater amount
of money, millions of dollars of
which came from New York at the
initiative of John W. Gates, has
been lost against nature in the fight,
and is lost.
Other raids Of this kind have had
more of a natural situation behind
them. The men making them had
somewhat consulted the facts and
figures of crop growth and move
ment before investing. 1t would be
little short Of challenging the intel
ligence of those in the collapsed deal
of this year to assume anything else
than that they deliberately set about
breaking down the force of natural
law with the power of unlimited
capital. The element of chance may
have figured to some extent in their
calculations, more at least than the
elements of supply and Of crops were
allowed tc figure, but their chief
reliance is seen to have been the
power Of money to force situation
against all other elements usually
considered in such investments.
And as a result of their failure, I've
have lesson, very important for
this generation to learn, that there
are still some things money can
not do.

will seem to many persons like a

quaint humor are the obvious char

verse, and it expresses conviction
that its author cherished, with stead
fast faith, all his days. Mr.. Bene

taking luncheon on board the Oneida

drifted to the subject of future
