STAND BY THE REfORMERs.

That the "big guns" OF the east, the "busi.
ness men" and corporation "fnanciers, " are
neither republicans, democrats, populists or
socialists from matter OF principle has been
demonstrated so frequently and satisfactorily
that 1t Is no longer denied. These men are In.
terested in politics only so far as their ndivid.
ual financial interests are concerned aud their
money and influence Is used for the election OF
such men as will serve their interests best. In
the past few years these great men OF the
nation, these "fnanciers have engaged In
systematic, well.0rganized effort to debauch
the public mind, subvert the will OF the people
and control the government Of states and the
nation to their sole advantage and how we'll
they have succeeded thus far Is only too clearly
demonstrated in the exposures resulting from
an earnest and fearless presidents attitude
toward corporate interests.
But while President Roosevelt has Jared
the nerves OF these brgands, these vampires Of
our social, business and political life, they are
keeping up the fight along the old lines and
will continue to triumph unless the public
mind is quickened to perceive their cunning
and craftiness. The public must learn to per-
ceive that the extensive articles laudatory Of
Standard oil and its methods are but advertise
ments paid for by the class OF men referred to
above. .
The public must understand that an ex.
traordinary proportion Of the articles anathe-
matizng President Roosevelt find their way
into publications throughout this country only
by the Legitimate use OF money.
They must understand that publications
have been founded by this public carrlon for
the sole purpose Of adroitly converting the pub
lie mind to dislike Of aggressiveness on the
part OF any public official. They employ facile
writers to insttll fear into the public mind
fear OF panic and business depression as result
Of aggression on the part OF men sworn to pro-
tect the peoples interests.
The public must learn that In the case Of
the Aldrich bill, for instance, these renegades
OF the nation are paying great sums OF money
for the publication OF favorable expressions
from men OF prominence, expressions adroitly
secured and sent broadcast.
The public must learn to distinguish be-
tween that which rings true and that which
rings false. The public must learn that the
exposure Of crime and juggery, and chcanery
In the business and political world never
brought harm to any nation;-it is the crime
not the exposure that creates the havoc Tho
public should stand firm in its confidence In
President Roosevelt and the policies advocated
by such men as Hughes and Taft The presi.
dent Is being illuminated vlcously by publica-
lions that fly no names at their mast ana by
correspondents who do not sign their articles.
He is also assailed In advertisements paid for by
corporations exposed by him, and these adver-
tisements are made to appear as legitimate
lews matter. The public ahould be discerning
and stand by the reformers.

the cats and dogs are put over the hurdles
and made to go through the act Of ad-
vanc1ng sharply. Bobtail pools Of all
sorts have been much in evidence lately
and they have succeeded in showing into
the fore many things about which the
public knows little or has conveniently
forgotten.
1t has been very easy for light-waisted
combines to juggle into seeming activity
these neglected stocks, and in some in
stances 1t has even been possible for
them to unload considerable lines at a
profit. In more than one case prices have
been advanced against the desires Of in
siders. Harvesters may be mentioned In
this connection. In some way 1t became
known to a small but very energetic
group of spectators that Harvester was
in very strong position and might at
any time be put on a dividend paying
basis. Without warning they ran the
stock up 12 points in few days, greatly
to the wrath of the insiders.
It SO happened that the management
had decided just about that time that 1t
would be unwise in the face of approach
ing tariff revision to get under the lime
light by display of over much prosperity
and that wisdom dictated postponement
of dividends and of a market campaign
until Congress was through monkeytng
with the schedules. Consequently this
outside help was resented. although thus
far the market price of the common stock
had been allowed to stay at about where
it was put by the volunteers. w. G. N.

THE FOREIGN MARKETS.

LONDON, December 12.-The stock eX-
change has finished a dull week in much
steadier fashion, with the earlier losses
practically recovered. More cheerful news
of the European situation was the chief
strengthening influence and affected
principally the foreign section, in which
Paris operations became more confident.
British securities also recovered well
under the lead of consols, which rose "a
from the lowest and closed Is better on
the week.
The shipments of American gold to
France were a factor in the improve
ment, but business was checked by new
loans. The Sac Paulo coffee loan of
S75, 100000 is expected next week and the
new Russian loan early next year.
Among mines West Africans had quite
a burst Of activity, chiefly on the dis
covery Of oils, which it Is anticipated will
cheaper the cost of future working, but
diamond shares weakened considerabl on
diamond discoveries in German Africa
and continental liquidation owing to
earlier adverse political news.
American securities rallied slightly from
their recent dullness. The Hartman is
sues. Chesapeake and Ohio and Wabash
received the most attention from the pro-
fessionals, but business at no time was
large owing to the absence of pubic
support. The market today finished dull,
but from l to , points higher than last
saturday, Chesapeake and Ohio showing
the greatest Improvement.
Money supplies were restricted, but dis
counts weakened on the gold shipments
from New York to Paris. which strength
ened Paris exchange on London and again
raises the hope that the Bank Of Ing
land would get Forthcoming gold ar

spite these increases the state banks and

Preliminary declines in the market to-
day in the early trading were less than
point in most cases. and in the closing
half hour of business the character of the
market was entirely reversed.
Throughout the day New York Central
STOCK formed a striking exception to the
general movement of prices. and toward
the end of business the buying in this
quarter became so pronounced as to
notably affect the market as a whole
The stock named closed at new high
record for the year and at an advance
of 33s points for the DAY.
All the Vanderbilt issues shared par
ticularly in this. huoyancy, and rumor
was naturally busy with explanations of

to proceed from an authoritative source
but the buying Of the Vanderbilt issues
was nevertheless of the kind that Wall

feature of the market was. moreover,
the strength shown by many of the rail-

NEW YORK, December 12-Talk of
gold exports as an adverse stock market
factor is of as little real weight under
existing circumstances as could possibly
be imagined, but it was harped upon
today by spectators for the fall in the
market to considerable extent. The
market also had to contend with a sharp
break in the American Smelling and Re-
filming common shares, which at one time
carried their price three and one-half
points below the last quotations of yes
terday. and the influence of these two
matters was. it seemed. responsible for
as much heavness in prices In the early
part of today as has been shown at any
time during the week.
The gold export question was brought
into view little more prominently, per-
haps, by a decided advance today in the
sterling exchange rate, which seems to
make additional metal remittances alto
gether probable. AS the supply of gold
bars at the assay office available for ex-
port has been exhausted an advance in
sterling from yesterdays level must. of
course take place before further engage
ments of gold for foreign shipment in the
form of coin can be made.
1t seemed to be generally thought
among bankers that it is not unlikely
that these shipments may reach an ag-
gregate on the present movement of $1O.-
100000: but the course of sterling ex-
change is determined by so many varying
and rapidly changing factors that pre-
dictions on the point are not overtrust-
worthy.
The substantial facts are in the present
instance that the gold being sent abroad
is loaned to European borrowers for use
in their financial requirements in the
end-of-the-year settlements. and that this
borrowing is only made possible by the
very low rates obtaining here for call
and time money
Evening star., 1908-12-13
The Bank Statement.

Today's bank statement was not nearly
as bad as forecasts of it had made out.
owing to the fact, of which there were
intimations in this column yesterday, that
the slight elevation in money rates toward
the end Of the week was sufficient to
bring the trust companies into the mar
ket as lenders, SO that the loans of the
banks proper were substantially de-
creased. Therefore. today. although ac-
cording to both the average and actual
figures OF the bank return there was a
decrease in the neighborhood of 81 7,OO0, 600
in bank cash, the surplus reserve de-
creased but moderately.
The most noteworthy news development
of the day was the announcement of a
decision of the public service commission
upholding the ten-cent fare now charged
by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
from the Manhattan terminal of the
Brooklyn bridge to Flushing. This ac-
ton was taken by many people as fore
shadowing the course likely to be follow
ed by the commission in the case involv-
ing rates to Coney Island.
IL was the general observation that pro-
fessional movements busying themselves
TO a very large extent in the low priced
shares had most to do with the week s
stock market, although there Is little
doubt that important financial plans are
maturing in many directions and that
their influence has been exhibited In Sc
curity prices.

Trade Reports Better.

The mercantile agencies made upon the
whole a better report of business condt-
tions than they did last week. the Christ
mas trade developing in a favorable way
with the purchases Of seasonable mer-
chandise stimulated by the colder wealth
err All of these reports bear witness to
enc striking factor. the great increase
seen during the year in building opera
tons from one end of the country to the
other.
The general reason for this has been
presumably the lower prices that have
obtained for all building materials. but,
however caused. building has been SO car
ried on that at the present time operations
of the kind are only slightly less than
they were in the extraordinarily active
season two years ago. An instance of
this was the statement of the president
of the United States Realty and Improve
ment Company made during the week
that the contracts of the company were
now about $30, 100000. the largest amount
of business on hand since the corporation
was organized.
