New York Market

ness in a week when the conven-
ton of one of the great political
parties was taking place? Bust
ness ON the stock exchange has
fallen to a point which marks it
as worse than dull. It's deadly.
The stock exchange looks like a
graveyard, in which the market
is simply a ghost of its former
self.
However, there are better
times coming. Secretary of
Agriculture. Wilson, who has
just returned from a trip
through the West, predicts
bumper crops in almost all COM
moditieS that grow. The con-
dition of crops this season. he
says, is better than at this time
last year. All the grains, in
GLIDING corn and wheat, are do
ing splendidly. The corn stand
is especially notable and pros
poets are for better cotton
crop than last year. -
Bumper crops will make good
business; they cannot fail to i'm
prove business. With good crops
business activity will be stimu-
lated this fall in spite Of cleo
tons. and the market for secur-
tiles will grow steadily stronger
under the influence of buying
by those who have money for
investment. The trouble with
the markets at present is that
the investor has taken to the
woods, and there is an absence
of support given to stocks by
people who are interested in
maintaining prices. There is no
public buying to speak of, and
there is just enough public sell
ing to make nearly all the mar
kets heavy and dull with a ten
dency toward weakness. Just a
little loosening of the purse
strings would cause a radical
change in the tone of the Sc
curities market.
Within the course of the next
two or three months prices
should improve, and by next
spring prosperity should be in
full swing again. Make a note
of this; by next spring, people
will have forgotten all about the
panic of 1907, and business men
will be again making plans con-
structiyely, for the making of
money.
So far as the mining markets
are concerned, they are suffering
not merely from summer dull
ness, financial stringency and a
post-panic decline from bottom
prices, but also from the effect
produced by the bursting of
some of the balloons which a
year ago looked big and round
and majestic. Greene Goldfish

Creek, North Butte Extension.
and few other cripples are re-
Sponsible for much of the public
apathy toward mines. After a
few more of the erstwhile IA
vorites have come to grief, there
will be still larger number of
disguised investors, who will,
we fear, find little comfort in
the mining list until the meritor-
ious part of the list advances on
its worth.
Good, bad and Indifferent
stocks have gone down together
in the slaughter which came af-
ter the money panic of last Oc-
tober and November.
If now the investors of the
country will have the wisdom to
come into the market and pick
up the real bargains which are
to be had. they will be able to
recoup themselves against many
of the losses which they have

The Interests" that inspir ed
the Aldrich currency bill will
hardly know it when the senate
gets through with it. "Whatever
the minor eccentricities of it's
vsriegsted TEXTURE" remarks the
New York Journal of Commerce,
zone vicious pattern will run all
through it. 1t will provide for
an emergency addition to thereg-
gular volume of currency, secur-
ed by deposit of miscellaneous
bonds and heavily taxed. This
will be a mere exaggeration of
the radical defect of the existing
system, gathering the corrupt
hunor, with which it is infected,
into q morbid excrescence."
This severe criticism from the
leading business and financial
newspaper of the country should
cause Republican congress to
pause before it further compli-
Gates our cumbersome financial

FORMER Governor William l..
Douglas of Massachusetts, who
understands the tariff question
better perhaps than any other
man in this country, declares
that the ''trust busting bust.
ness as conducted at Washington
is farcical; that neither policies
nor President Roosevelt are
right. He believes that those
policies and methods are intend.
ed to accomplish results in the
interest not of the people, but of
the trusts. Gov. Douglas thinks,
as otherss Democrats do, that the
only possible remedy for trusts
evils Is to revise the tariff which
enables trusts to monopolize the
market.
Chariton courier., 1908-03-06

The holding up of the price of
steel products by thetrust checks
consumption and real recovery
of business, while lower prices
would stimulate orders and start
idle plants. But the steel trust,
highly protected as it is by the
tariff, thinks it can worry along
until business revives and re.
fuses to reduce the price of it's
products. Thus every piece Of
fsrmsmachinery, every tool for
workingman or farmer, and
everything else into which steel
enters, has to pay triutne to
trusts. While pig iron has de.
olined 80 per cent from the re-
cent high level, yet steel, which
is the chief form of iron now
used, is still maintained at tht
! top notch. Such is one of ths
advantages of the Republican
/ policy of.tariff protection. Tha
whereas the trust is protected
every one else must suffer.

Farm Produce.

The attention of the farmers
of Missouri is called to that por-
ton of the pure food law found
in subdivision 6, sec. 4, s. B.
AZ, session acts 1907, pp.238-242,
and to sec. ID of the same act.
1t is grave offense to sell bad
eggs; or milk or cream or butter
which is dirty or was produced
from diseased COW, or is be-
INV grade, or to which q pre-.
servative has been added; or
meat Of animals which have died
otherwise than by slaughter; or
vinegar which is below Standard;
or fruit under false names as to
variety or place of production;
or to sell short measure or short
weight food of any kind. The
farmer is primarily a producer of
food and must expect to abide
by the food law, the same law
that protects him when others
sell to him. Copy of the law and
food standards may be obtained
by writing to this office.

PUBLIC SENTIMENT AND LAW.
The CHARLTON COURIER says
March 1.-THE day Saint Pat.
ric drove the snakes out of Ire.
land-is an appropriate time for
the good people of Charlton to
eradicate the snakes in the coun.
ty.
If the local option wave is as
strong in this county as it is in
most counties of the state, the
big snakes that lay out in the
open. the fat old foam-covered
snakes with their mouths always
ajar, had just as we'll get wrig.

It's no job at all to pound the
poison out of the big ones with
many rattles. But if the Tribune's
knowledge of the alcoholic rep.
tiles is accurate the decisive bat.
tie will be fought when the little
joint snakes are attacked. They
hide in opaque stomsch bitters
and nerve tonic bottles and go
into the strongholds of prohibi.
ton in jugs labled, castor oil,
terpentine, etc. They are found
numeriously in saloonless states
and counties. We have seen
them in Kansas and Oklahoma.
And when we exsinguish these
little ''joints" then we will have
q crow coming.
Uncle Sam protects them while
they are incubating and after
they get big enough to bite hard
enough to make the drunk come
he shouts call eyes open!" and
tells US if we can find them we
may whsck off their head.
When the time comes when
the man who manufactures and
the man who sells whiskey are
regarded as criminals of the
most dangerous type, and the
community ostracizes the man
who drinks it to make the drunk
come, then the liquor question
will be settled and stay settled
for keeps, regardless of man made
laws.
What the majority of the peo.
