The Strings of Prosperity.

1t IS more than suspected by the New York
Evening Post that the management of the republican
campaign has the strings of prosperity within its
grasp and that they will be pulled at the psychoo-
g1cal moment, the closed factory doors opened and
the dinner pail again made acquainted with the
funess of which republican platforms we're wont to
brag.
Money is abundant in the banks, but is still being
withheld from industrial channels According to the
Evening Post, it is to be liberated during the closing
weeks of the campaign and made to perform its
function until election day, when another "c1ose
down" may ensue All this is interesting as an in
dlcatlon Of the power of controlled money on "the
times" The Post says:
One can not hear the talk of those deep in repub-
l1can counselS without becoming aware that plan
OF this sort enters into all their political reckonings
ASK them what are the signs on the horizon of
politics and their is: Gust now of course

Brokers Becoming Uneasy.

1t is related in a news dispatch from New York
that brokers of that city have taken out about
million dollars of insurance with Loyds of London
protect them against the consequences of crash
in the event of the election of Mr.. Bryan They
are paying a premium of ten per cent for the insur
They must be possessed of lively apprehension
of the success of the democratic ticket
Fear that the election of Mr. Bryan would wipe
out the fortunes of Wall street gamblers places the
righteousness of his cause in the lmelight of public
observation, although republican papers using
the incident in their urd calamity representations
It is part of the democratic programme that the
promoters of panics, the hghwaymen who hold up
the wage earners of the country whenever it suits
their speculative purposes, shall be retired from
business if the party of Bryan comes into power in
the legislative and executive departments. They
are therefore exhibiting business prudence in pur-
chasing protection from the consequences of the
downfall they seem to fear
Until the public is appraised that the farmers and
other producers of the United States are nsuring
themselves in anticipation of democratic victory
there will be no cause for anxiety of important
proportions. There is, instead the daily spectacle
of farmers and other producers sending portions of
their accumulations to Mr. Bryan with which to
finance his campaign against brokers of Wall street
When the farmer is pted against L1oyds of Lon
don in speculatons over the result of the election
one becomes imbued with comfortable assurance
that the farmer and the other producers are going
to win, there many of them
Wall street brokers may have entered into this
scheme of insurance to create alarm in the ranks of
the voting population. Such idiotc performances
had an effect in 1896. But the public has outgrown
the folly of those immature times, though the brokers
of Wall street may not be of it. They are

vestgation on its account. 1t points out that
it has no authority to lower rate except on COM
plant and hearing, and cannot prevent rate increases
before they are made. The commission says the
principal advances are on packing-hou products,
grain and grain products from Ohio river crossings
to the southeast, in sums ranging from two to four
cents per hundred pounds according to the COM
modify; in rates sugar from the Atlantic sea-
board and New Orleans to Chicago Duluth St.
Paul and other northwestern points of two cents
per hundred class rates from Mississippi river
points and Kansas City to Texas points
ranging from ten cents frst-class to four cents
lowest class. The commission announces that it is
keeping close check on increases President Roose-
welt is known to have written letter to the COM
mission about the freight situation.
"The commission" the statement says, has
authority to suspend proposed advance in rates and
can order reduction of the advanced rates only as
the result of investigation after the advanced
rates have become effective, but the commission,
while it could make effective order prior to the
actual advancing rates, has almost unlimited power
of investigation, and it is understood that if the
tariffs filed with the commission show general in
creases, the commission without waiting for the fill
ing of formal complaints, will institute an nves-
tigaton its motion for the purpose of de-
termning whether or not the advances justified.
Such general information would enable it to handle
very promptly any complaint which might be filed
against advanced rates.
"tThe commission is having close check of all
advances in freight rates The commission, of
course, has official information of the proposed
advances until they set forth in tariffs, which
required by law to be filed with the commission
thirty days in advance of their effective date So
far the principal advances disclosed in the tariffs
filed are i'll the rates packing house products

THE EGG BUSINESS.

Few of us down here, where old
Speckle and old Domineck cackle ev-
el, day and we do not have to use
cold storage eggs of ancient and I'M
certain age, know of the magnitude
of the egg trust.
The announcement is made that
the banks of Chicago and New York
will heneeforward loan no more than
10 cents a dozen on eggs preserved
by cold storage. This action of the
banks, it is said, will not interfere
with speculation in eggs. 1t will linn
it the business to some extent for
those who lack capital, and thus safe
guard the bankers against loss
through failures incident to sudden
breaks in the market. Eggs are
perishable at best, and when spring
progresses and the hens begin to lay
stocks in cold storage must be thrown
upon the market
The inflow of eggs at centers of
consumption is tremendous when the
hens begin to produce. During the
past week the city of New York
received daily an average of more
than 100000 eggs, and wholesale
prices have dropped to 10 cents in
consequence. The influx is proper
tionately large in every center of pop
ulation, and prices weaken cores
pondingly Sometimes these heavy
drops mean loss to the speculator.
The decline this spring knocked all
profit out of deals in many instance,
and in addition caused heavy finan-
cial loss.
There may be fewer spectators
this year, but those who can put
up the money will go into the bust
ness more extensively, and probably
gather in big profits next winter, the
season when the egg market is at its
best.

A RASH MAN.

If Senator Martin of Virginia isn't
careful he will have a nest of hor-
nets about his ears shortly. Speak
ing of the race track bills pending in
congress he said day or two ago:
Il believe more money is lost and
more trouble and heartache is caused
by bridge whist parties in Washing
ton society than was ever caused by
betting on horse races. That is a
pointed indictment, and the senator
must have known what he was talk
ing about before he made-it. But, as
the Savannah News says, there is
probably not a bridge whist player in
Washington but will hold up his or
her hands in holy horror at having
that very aristocratic game placed in
the same category with more vulgar
gambling.

Workers of the World and other bod
les met in New York last week to
discuss the question of the unem-
ployed. Samuel A. Stodel gave fig
ures showing that there are $780,
600 men and women out of employ
ment throughout the country. or
this number $4,000 are in Georgia
According to Mr.. Stodel the condi-
lions have not improved, but wages
of the employed have decreased
about 20 per cent.
"Retrenchment," said Mr.. StOdel,
continues to be the policy all along
the line. Where goods were formerly
made for stock in large quantities to
be shelved and stored in warehouses
throughout the country the system
is now to limit production to orders
only.
Banks throughout the country are
decreasing their loans to manufact-
urers, and new loans are hard to get
except upon giIt-edge security

VIII Cotton Farmers Rejoice?

From the Savannah News.
The announcement is made in the
public prints that Theodore H. Price,
the we'll known cotton Spectator,
has decided to withdraw from spec
ulation during the next two years
and devote his time to his son, who
is reported to be in" feeble health.
He proposes to sell his horses and
carriages, his yachts and dogs, and
spend his time in some quiet retreat.
Will the cotton farmers regard this
as good news? For years and years
Mr.. Price has been regarded as the
greatest speculator in cotton in the
country. At times he dominated the
New York cotton market. But he
was on the bull side about as often
as he was on the bear side. That
being the case, dhe had as much to do
with causing a rise in the price of
cotton as he did with causing a de-
cline in it's price. Therefore his re-
tirement may be a source of regret
to some cotton farmers if it is
source of satisfaction to- others.

"You smoke thirty cigarettes
day."
Yes, on the average"
"You don't blame them for your
rundown condition.
Not in the least. l blame my
hard work.
The physician shook his head. He
smiled in a vexed way. Then he took
a. leech out of a glass jar.
Let me show you something, he
said. Bare your arm.
The cigarette fiend barred his pale
arm, and the other laid the lean,
black leech upon it. The leech fell to
work busily It's body began to swell.
Then, all of a sudden, kind of shud-
der convulsed it, and it fell to the
floor-dead.
THAT is what your blood did to
that leech," said the physician. He
took up the little corpse between his
finger and thumb. Look at it, he
said. quite dead, you see. You
poisoned it.

Judge S. A. Roddenbery, while
making the race for congress
almost exclusively OIL the pro-
hibition question, admits that he
failed to vote for Dupont Query a
few years ago when he made the
race for governor on the prohibition
platform. Some people change front
so often that it is difficult to keep up
with them. Any man who "fops'
just to get on the popular side is
unworthy of the confidence of the
people, and should, and we believe
will, get sharp rebuke if left to
their own capabilities of reasoning

A SENSIBLE DECISION.

A noteworthy decision came from
the State Court of Appeals the otner
dav in which a liberal, yet logical,
construction was put upon the Geor-
gia prohibition law.
Minor courts have been convlctlng
persons of violating the prohibition
law where liquor was found upon
their premises if it appeared that
such premises in any wise looked ike
place of business. In Atlanta the
nolice court got after the druggists
for selling medicinal and toilet artl-
cles containing alcohol in varying
percentages. The question was even
raised. though no arrests had been
made, as to the right of dentist or
a physician to keep liquor in his Of
fee.
The question came up in the case
of DR.. E. M. Roberts, who was con-
yicted of violating the law in keeping
beer in his place of business. The
Mace of business in question was
private store room where DR.. Rob-
erts kept beer that he used as an in
gredient of a soft drink syrup, which
he sold over the state, and to the sale
of which there was no objection. AS
the result of his conviction Dr. Rob
erts moved his manufacturing es-
tablishment out of the state, though
he continued to ship his syrup back
and sell it in Georgia.
The court, in its decision, points
out the absurdity of a construction
of the law which would forbid the
manufacture within the state of an
article whose sale was perfectly legal.
in reversing the decision of
the lower court the Court of Appeals
holds that the law was never intended
to prohibit the sale of medicinal, toll
ct and culinary articles, such as es-
sence of lemon, essence of ginger, CO.
logne and things of that sort, which
is quite contrary to the view held by
Recorder, who has threat
ened to bind over for trial druggists
who sell essence of ginger and SINH
lar compounds without physicians
The court holds that
in order to come within the meaning
of the prohibition law the article sold
must be in shape to be used as a bev-
erage, and in addition must contain
alcohol in sufficient quantity to pro-
duce intoxication when drunk to eX-
cess. Indirectly the court rules that
there is no prohibition upon a doctor
or dentist keeping liquors in his prl-
waite office, where frequent need for
them develops.
1t is generally belived that the lib
crafty of the decision will go long
way toward increasing respect for
the law and it's enforcement, as it
has generally been regarded the most
drastic prohibition law ever enacted
by any state.
