COPPER HOLDS THE BOARDS
BY W. c. NICHOLAS.

New York, January 20.-The public is
unquestionably in the market and under
1t on a large scale, but not with that
tumultous eagerness which almost inva-
riably marks the approaching elimination
OF a grand bull movement. The public is
buying stocks literally 30 to 70 points
above the level at which investments
might have been made a year or more
ago. It was kept out of the market for
a variety of reasons, chief of which was
a keen recollection of punishment in
fiicted during the two years slump fol-
lowing the Northern Pacific corner. This
caution or timidity was accentuated by
the teachings of false prophets like Law
son of Boston and by the warnings of
ultra-conservatives. Posing as the unre-
lenting enemy of the. system Lawson
contributed in no small degree to keeping
the public out of the market when it
might have gone in with enormous profit.
To the extent of whatever influence he
might have, Lawson scared spectators
and investors out of participation in
general average advance of about 80
points, a sum representing in the aggre-
gate many hundreds of millions of dol
lars-roughly stated, about $500 900, co.,
Throughout the entire period of this great
advance in values the rich men who COM
posed the system and their allies, the
big plungers, have been the largest win
ners. The profits which might have gone
into the pockets of the multttudes went
to fatten the already plethoric accounts
of the weather. class. If Lawson and
his friends and followers had been the
paid agents of the System" they could
not have done it better turn. The men
he started out to ruin and efface from
the financial map are richer by billions
of dollars than when he started in upon
his campaign of humiliation. There has
been no time when the Standard OIL par
ty was as rich and powerful as now.
There are those who believe that Lawson
himself has made money by coppering
his own advertisements and preachings.
but men who are beating the stock mar
ket are not in the habit of mortgaging
their wives homes as Lawson did. II he
has shot as he talked he must be skat-
ing on very thin ice.

called turns for them and invested the
profits to the best possible advantage.
Reed knew by that reason of the kind
offices of his multi-millionaire friend he
was making money, but it is extremely
doubtful If he knew how much he was
making When he retired from public life
it is doubtful If he could have raised
$4,000 of his own money. He died four
years later and to the establishment of
his close personal friends the estate left
to his widow and daughter was found to
approximate 100000. True, he was in re-
ceipt of a large income of legal employ
ments largely thrown his way by Mr..
Rogers) but the bulk of the fortune was
due to the careful handling of his funds
by the Standard Oil wizard as was also
the case with Mr.. Clemens. Mr.. Rogers
has had quite number of these affairs
of the heart" but upon none has he Law
ished the wealth of genuine regard that
he did upon his two brainy chums, Reed
and Clemens.

Wall Street Received.

Wall street appears to be reconcied
to the row which has been stirred up in
Washington between the President and
Congress. The thought has occurred to
many that the friction which has been
developed will not help the President in
his attempt to force through his rate reg
ulation programme. Possibly in this case
the wish is the father to the thought
but in any event the railroad interests
seem to have measurably recovered from
their uneasiness over the prospect of adj
verse congressional action.

grounds, but what is even more
essential to beautiful city, is the
fact that there are thousands of
homes belonging to the working and
middle classes, all. neat and attractive
and all of the builders seemingly had
the artistic and beautiful in view.
The state property. the Illinois
Northern Hospital for the Insane, is
ideally located. The great state farm
extends from the river bank west to
the hills which form a border line to
the Fox River Valley.
The natural beauty, everywhere
evident throughout this locality, is
not lacking here, and the judiciOus
expenditure OF money has made the
state property place of surprising
beauty. The buildings are large and
artistic. and the grounds are laid out
to give the unfOrtunates, there con-
fined, as much pleasure as possible.
Acres and acres of yelvety lawn, great
shade trees, we'll kept walks and
drives, lined with trees and flowers,
quaint and artistic rustic summer
houses, payilionS and bridges, greet
one on every hand. All this brings
sunshine into the lives of the one
thousand five hundred patients and
adds in no small measure to the
pleasure of citizens and visitors, as
the grounds are open to the public at
all times, except Sundays.
