Continued from page H.

tie bull campaign the publicity receiv
cd caused him to receive hundreds oil
letters. Some are anarchistic. Others
are begging for money, from dol
lar to large amounts.
He said: Congress couldn't mass
a law preventing men from speculat.
ing on commodities, as that would be
striking at the very life of business.
The theory of the business all over the
world is a free field, and open COM
petition, and legitimate profits. If
the national legislature seeks to pre-
vent such operations as I have been
conducting it will be the most serious
blow to commerce itself received in
the history of the country Business
of all kinds will be hampered as all
will be affected"
He said there was no cause for IN
gress to get excited over the reports
that he made millions of dollars on
wheat speculation, as he hadn't and
didn't expect to. He said the reports
that he was making millions created
an expression that he was trying to
plumber the nation, making a high
tariff for notions of all kinds of people
and cranks. He added eff | had a
corner in wheat, as supposed, could
send the price up to two dollars or
any other price, because would have
control of the market But haven't
a corner or anything like it."

the appointment and had gone to the
