NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-Prioes had
material setback today and 1t was not
until the aggressive advance developed
in Union Pacific late in the day that any
pairing the damage. Sales to equalize
profits In some of the sensational specu-
lative favorites proved to be overwhelm-
ing and caused violent declines In those
stocks and sympathetic recession in the
general list A few specialties continued
to make an upward squirt, but they were
in the general strength. of the speculative
situation nor to hold the list against the
effective selling elsewhere.
The state into which the speculative
mood had fallen in the last few days,
especially the rather wild movements of
yesterday, caused some perturbation and
aroused fear that they were Of a kind
which would run quickly to elimination
owing to the violence of the manipulatlve
methods pursued. Very attractive profits
also were offered at many points in the
market.
The consequence was that the selling
movement, once inaugurated, grew Of its
own force with the result of a general
show of weakness by midday. Speculative
profit taking was especially conspicuous
in Reading, Smelling, Brooklyn Transit.
Anaconda and the southern group OF
sentiment was produced by the evidence
of lack of support in the Rock Island
group and the rapid decline in prices
there under light liquidation.
During the morning period Of weakness
the Metropolitan Traction stocks showed
notable strength. 1t was not, however,
until the enormous demand for Union
Pacific developed that any effective re-
sistance was offered to the general weak
ness Of the market. Reports were circu-
lated that the disposition Of the COM
panys northern securities as disclosed in
the annual report showed such large
profits as to Justify the movement. A
wager was offered that Union Pacific
was destined to reach 175 on the move
ment, In exactly the same manner that
a wager was made early in the Reading
movement as to its ultimate high prices.
There was no notable change in actual
conditions Prices of iron and steel, ac-
cording to trade authorities, are held
down only by main force.
The price of copper was lifted to the
highest level touched since 1901.
Foreign exchange was steady and dis
counts In London were lower.
The u. s. Steel stocks and st. Paul OBJ
tained most substantial benefits from the
Union Pacific movement, but the earlier
losses were pretty well restored in the
general list.
The stocks under special pressure, how
ever, continued weak and made the low
est prices of the day in the last few
minutes of the market, thus unsettling the
close, which was decidedly feverish and
very irregular.
Bonds were strong. Total sales. par
value, $3350,0O0.
United States bonds were all unchanged
on call.

The capitalist retained the owner
ship of the means of storage and
transportation and was thus able to
secure the lions share of the pro-
duct. Another slice was secured
through the creamery, cheese and
beet sugar factories, all of which re-
present improved methods of doing
work and should make the farmers
task lighter and his income greater,
were society properly organized.
With the development and i'm
provement of farm machinery it too
becomes a means to the farmers en-
slavement. With the machinery as
with the land, it was more profitable
and involved less risk to allow the
farmer to retain a nominal owner
ship and then under the disguise of
credit pluck him to the last cent
with exorbitant prices, usurious in
terest and excessive repair bills. :"
Many and many farmer has thus
become as completely enslayed to
his self binder or sulky plow as any
city worker to the great factory in
which he tolls.
Under this system, while the
farmer is given the form of owner
ship of his capital, he in reality only
accumulates this capital for the use
of the actual capitalist. What he
really owns is a somewhat perman-
ent Job with exhausting toll and
low wages. Even this permanency
is largely delusion, as the uncer-
tainty of the wage-laborer finds its
counterpart in the fluctuations of
crops and prices that destroy the
farmers peace of mind.

An Illustrated Lesson that Never Grows Old

to be married, take your wife to
Switzerland and let her see how the
women there work. They do the
toughest kind of work in field and
city; they plow and carry hods.
They have to earn the bread by
such toll as American women never
know. 1t is enough to make any
woman of this country glad of her
nationality"
I'd like to say to Mr. Foshay, to
every married man and to every
man about to marry (who is able)
to take himself, his wife and his
children (if he has any and visit
the cotton mills of the south and of
the north; the mines of the east;
the sweat shops of any of our great
cities, especially New York, wherein
the Tribune tells us dwell at least
500, 900 people in dens that are not
fit for wild beasts; the plantations of
the entire South where women work
side by side with men at all work
done on those plantations; again the
sweat shops where Labor Commits
sioner Wright tells us 100, 900
women work, the limit of whose
hours of toll is the limit of human
endurance" and if he can't do this,
read Elbert Hubbard's article on
the white child slaves of America
and any one of other writers on
women and women's work in this
glorious land of ours-go, Mr. Fo-
shay and your married men and
women and fathers and mothers, go
look upon these things just as they
are and then ask yourself seriously
if it is necessary to go on a foreign
junketing trip in order to rejuvenate
your enervated patriotism.
They (the Swiss women have
to earn their bread by such toll as
American women never know"
That statement is so utterly false
that ignorance is the only means of
