STOCK MARKET FEATURES

 RALLY CAME.

U. F. Active-The Stock Tax-The
 ropoIftnn-Readins's Ac-
 tivity-The Expected Prick Report.
 There was further weakness in stocks at the opening yesterday, attributed to expected forthcoming disclosures in the Prick report as to the Equitable. Then the market turned and grew quite strong over the story that the report would not appear-that the directors would vote down the proposition to publish it.
 It was over five minutes after busi- ness began that the first quotation in Union Pacific appeared on the ticker. The opening price was 12O14, decline of IS. Between this figure and 119B there was heavy selling.
 There was a better feeling as to cot ton, the government report being more encouraging.
 The failure to publish the real situa- tion as to the Equitable makes a per- petual sore in the financial situation and only aggravates the general dis trust which has been the worst factor of the whole matter.
 Beginning yesterday, stocks sold from now on will have to have stamps affixed to be good delivery.
 It was reported that there was very heavy shifting of bank loans yesterday. but the reason therefor was not clear. It was, however, thought that it would all come out right to-day in the wash.
 The rise in Reading was due to the GgE hn1 af flaf Itrri1 sp oh to be paid at the rate of f per cent. a year. compared with 3 per cent, the present amount. Still, it was apparent that there was no general buying of this stock for the reason named or for any other reason. It is high now for a new-fedged per cent. stock.
 The reports of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific for April were among the best of the month, with a total gross of over $1,4OO,0OO Southern Pa- cific increased net $516,00.
 Foreign speculators made heavy sales of stocks in this market, owing to the depression of our shares abroad, where the insurance scandal is beginning to be seriously felt.
 It was estimated that brokers acting AoL t1CaulllS IllCISSlo tuOh pS- tween 25,000 and 35,000 shares of Union Pacific on the way down.
 Next to Union Pacific, the United States Steel shares were weak. The prospective dissolution of the steel bil- let pool was an unfavorable announce ment. There appeared to be selling of high-grade character. Brokers had a good many buying orders for the com- mon at 25, but it did not quite reach that figure; also for the preferred at 90. Steel preferred rallied we'll at the close.
 Although Metropolitan Street Rail- way was Inclined to react early in sym pathy with the general weakness, the traders said there was tlnquestionably support in the stock by Ryan brokers.

YESTERDAY'S STOCK MARKET.
Sharp Losses at Opening, Followed by
 Sloyy Recovery

Sharp Losses at Opening, Followed ny Slow Recovery
 New York, June 2.--There were some | further sharp losses scored in the open ing dealings in stocks to-day, after which a slow recovery set in. It re- l quirsd most of the rest of the day to retrieve the ground lost during the first few minutes of trading, and there was steady decline in the rate of absorp- 1 tion as prices got back to last nights level. Only in a few cases were any 1 considerable gains established on the recovery. Very large attention contin- ued to ~ given to 5the Equitable con- | troversy. Thsre was much gossip in circulation as to the source of some of the recent heavy selling of stocks which sought to point a motive in the proceedings of the Equitable investiga- tion. Foreign stock markets offered a contributary couse to the depression here. A decline in the hopes of early peace was reported from foreign in- vestment centers. This affected all of the international stocks in this mar ket and prompted some heavy realizing in the Japanese bonds. The activity in these issues has oyershadowed the whole bond market during all of this week. '' ":
 The opening downward movement in stocks soon overran itself and the pres sure to sell frightened materially. When shorts attempted to cover there developed some scarcity of stocks. Re- ports from the Equitable meeting indi- cated a vigorous effort to prsvent the adoption of the report of the inyestiga- ting committee with seeming prospects of success. Operators who had sold stocks on the apprehension that the publication of this report would depress prices were naturally inclined to rebuy on the later prospects,. The special strength of Reading was connected with revived rumors Of a coming in- crease in the dividend on Central Rail- road of New Jersey.
 Traders centersd their operations on this stock in a movement against the shorts in the market. The influence of crop news was diverse. The days clearing house exchanges ran to over $S0,000,000, the largest in the history of the clearing house Pennsylvania con- vertible bond subscriptions were in volved in the showing. This and other syndicate transactions are likely to fig- ure in to-morrow's bank statement. The sustained strength of Reading did not fully hold the rest of the market and the closing was unsteady.
 Bonds were heavy. Total sales par value s4,410,000

UNIoNs. HEADERS Ar FAIrI.r.

The more the history Of the events
 that proceeded the climax of the team
 sters strike becomes known the more it becomes evident that, while union ism is on trial and is likely to be sev- ;ereiy condemned by public opinion for the manner in which the strike was
 started-and still more for the manner
 in which it was continued-the rank and file of the union men involved in
 the struggle are more to be pitied than i blamed.
 In the first place, the majority of the l teamsters are uneducated men who l have little time or opportunity for
 reading all the information and argu- ments that are necessary to a proper
 understanding of so complicated a
 question as the ethics of any strike. let alone one of the sympathetic" kind.
 Many of them join the union because they are afraid to work without being regular and probably most of those who vote to strike do so because they fear violence if they vote against the rOwdy element. They are blindly led by demagogic and dangerous men who have gained control of the organization for their own ends.
 Of course, if the unions have neglect
 ed their rights and duties in the
 management of their organization and have permitted the dangerous and reckless to attend the meetings alone and to take action of a serious import, the lawabiding and conservative members cannot expect to escape the consequences of their own neglect; but, morally speaking, it is not the mass of
 unionists who should be condemned for the criminal acts that have dis
 graced the unions engaged this strike. From the Chicago Evening Post Ind. Rep.

Mr.. Douglas returned to Illinois to Sc
cure his reelection to the senate the
Republicans with one consent pro-
claimed Lincoln as his fit antagonist.
Nothing loath, the great debater en-
tered the arena. He challenged the
Little Giant to become his opponent
in series OF joint discussions The
challenge was accepted without a mo-
ment's hesitation. and there followed
the most remarkable oratorical duel
ever witnessed by the citizens of any
state. All that eventful summer of
1858 Mr.. Douglas. adroit and convinc-
ing orator that he was, defended his
thesis of nonintervention with slavery
in the territories, and Mr.. Lincoln, with
equal ability and superior moral in
sight. exposed its fallacies.

combat of words was not confined to

REWROrE.
not corner in the entire Union too re-
mote or too obscure to share it. For
the first time in his political career Mr..
Lincoln burned his bridges and com
mitted himself unreservedly to the
cause whose mightiest champion he
had become The fears of his friends
and the denunciatiOns of his enemies
were equally pOwerleSs to deter him.
Mr.. Douglas was reelected. but his
victory was but the presage of coming
defeat for the cause which he had adj
vocated so nobly. AS it was, he could
not have been returned to the senate
if his opponents penetrating insistence
had not compelled him publicly to
qualify his proslavery 'utterances and
attach proviso to his political creed.
That was indeed a critical moment in
the talented Douglas political career
that summer afternoon in the little
prairie city Of Freeport when the great
emancipation, his gaunt form erect and
his long forefinger extended with per-
emptory eagerness, demanded of the
now hesitating Democratic candidate,
s1s there any lawful way by which the
people of territory, against the wish
of any citizen of the United States,
may exclude slavery from its limit pri-
or to the formation of state constitu-
tion?" Here at last was the supreme
dilemma. Upon the categorical Yea"
or may" which he must utter hung the
fate of Douglas political future. His
feeble "yea" sent him to the senate
but cost him the support of the south
and made his position in the north I'M
tenable.
This final debate. followed by a
speech at Cooper Union, New York, in
which he contended that slavery was
incompatible with republican form
of government, gave Mr.. Lincoln the
Republican nomination for the presi-
dency in 1860. His election and the
outbreak of the civil war were practi-
cally coincident. In his inaugural ad-
dress he showed the country that he
was not the radical fanatic which in
imical prediction oratory had de-
clared him to be- He had much to say
concerning secession, but nothing about
slavery. He chose a safe middle course
and persisted in it until time and the
progress of events should provide him
with the opportunity for which his
freedom loving soul longed SO ardently
With almost preternatural foresight he
knew that the time was not far distant
when that which he so greatly desired
to accomplish could be brought about
through the medium of political expe-
diency. He had no love for the spectac-
ular; he bided his time.
He made no secret of his ultimate in
tention to act He did not hesitate; he
was waiting. All the united radical
element of his party cried out at his
delay. He sat at his desk and wrote
and rewrote the magic formula. Final
~ when he saw that it was ready to
play its part in the preservation of the
Union he launched the emancipation
proclamation.

~ DON after reaching his majority
- Abraham Lincoln made two
. voyages down the Mississippi
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1905-02-11


~ voyages down the Mississippi
river as far as New Orleans in
q fatboat. Ten years later, when his
faculty of critical observation must
have become considerably more acute
he made third visit to the gulf states.
1t has been found convenient by some
Of his bographers and not few post
bellum historians to date Mr. Lincolns
conversation to the then novel and pro-
scribed doctrines of antislavery from
that period. Spacious as this hypothe-
sis may seem, there is no authentic rec
ord that Lincoln himself ever confirmed
II. With mentality capable of alb
sorbing the gist of the literary hoard
ings of the centuries, but denied all OPP
portunity until long after the period
at which most students have mastered
the essentials of college education,
Abraham Lincoln, omnivorous reader
and logical reasoner, in the long in
terval between his southern journeys
and his election to congress, transform
ed himself into the foremost sociologist
of his age
Before he was elected to congress
Mr.. Lincoln served for several terms
in the Illinois state legislature, but did
not refer, even incidentally, to the sub
ject of slavery in his speeches. When
he was sent to congress he proclaimed
himself the militant apostle of the anti
slavery agitation. Strong men had ar
rayed themselves against the slave
trade, and fervid enthusiasts had pro-
claimed their willingness to yield their
lives for its abolition. The new con-
gresham from the SangamOn district
of Illinois announced his intention to
propose the emancipation of the slaves
In the District of Columbia Such was
the prevailing temper of the time that
congress declined absolutely to consider
the proposition, but Mr.. Lincoln had
sounded the keynote of mighty apOS-
tOlate. He had shown his colors and
a willingness to follow them to the end.
He was not invited to become can
didate for reelection. His political
friends admired his courage and his in
tellect, but SHE'D at his radicalism.
This hesitancy on the part of his con
stituency could not prevent Mr. Lin
coin from becoming the most inf1uen-
tial exponent of the principles Of the
Wing party in the state. After his re-
turn from congress he was in great de-
mand as an orator III every campaign.
He became better known than any 9th
er man in the state except Stephen A.
Douglas, and in the course of time he
settled down to a very large and lucra
tive law practice The repeal Of the
Missouri compromise awakened all the
apparently dormant energies Of his ma
ture He forsook his exacting business
and at once assumed the leadership of
the new party which arose in the west
to battle against the scheme of the
slave trade to organize the new terrific
ries under proslavery auspices. The
designs Of the proslavery leaders were
not congenial to the people of the west
but they had powerful advocate in
the eloquent Douglas, and public senti-
ment was in state of fcklenesS. A
new senator was to be chosen in Hi
nois, and it happened that the legsla-
ture elected during the heat of the dis
cussion contained majority in favor
