Just why is big business behind

Just why is big business behind
the preparedness campaign?
Why have leaders of the steel
; group end the Standard Oil group
gone out of their way to present ar
mored cars to the New York militia
and to throw all their influence back
of the demand for huge army and
navy and an aggressive foreign pol
icy?
The answer is easy.
If big business had had it's way
: during the past three years, Ameri-
can armies would now be on Muxica n
soil, and thousands of American boys
would have given their lives to pro-
tect the Mexican investments of
Standard Oil, William Randolph
Hearst, the Guggenheims, Phelps,
Dodge & Co., Harrison Gray Otis, and
others of their kind.
Mexico is only the beginning.

Their putting on Of the screws will
be difficult or dangerous, is now
planning a campaign Of world con-
quest.
Attention already has been called
to the plans of the National City
bank and it's president, F. A. Wander
lip, for a great foreign trade corpor-
alton to finance raids on the natural
resources of foreign lands. Wander
lips $50,00O,OO0 American 1nterna-
tiona1 corporation began it's existence
a month ago with the enthusiastic
support of Standard Oil, and United
States Steel. It's staff has been re-
cruited largely from those corpora
It's charter permits it to do every
thing from building railroads and
docks to reorganizing foreign govern
ments.
On Jan. Is, the new corporation
issued a statement in the name Of
President Charles A. Stone which
shows even more clearly it's imper-
ialistic purposes, Stone said:
An Accommodating "Uplifter."
"Dr. Richard P. Strong, the we'll
known medical expert, who last year
succeeded in completely preventing
the spread of typhus in Serbia, has
come with the American Internation-
al corporation. He has had a world
wide experience in dealing with
various foreign governments. and has
established such friendly relations
with the people with whom he has
worked that his name has become
famous. His specific duties will be
to assist in building up the new Or

young men, and to follow up the men
of the organization who are at work
in foreign countries; and also to take
up any questions that may arise with
foreign countries in regard to SAM

purpose of being helpful to these
people in such matters and estab-

by July 1, We'll say, Armour is
short 100.0O0,0OO bushels and the
price is down to $1.241s. He de-
livers' 20,000,000 bushels and the
price leaps in a day to 1892. On
these deliveries Armour realizes a
profit on each bushel equal to the
difference between $1.24A Cor 1872,
as the case may be) and the price at
which he had previously sold-in the
beginning, $1.64.
But this profit is only incidental.
Armour has been bearing the mar
ket for another purpose. His deliv,
cries are being made too abruptly
He stops buying July wheat for a. few
days and goes to selling September
wheat in large quantities. Both July
and September 60 down. Armour
keeps on selling, also covering hut

the downward trend of the market
BY September / the market is down

''Now, what has been happening
meanwhile?
The farmers have begun harvest
Ing their wheat and hauling it to the
country elevators. The price of Sep
tember wheat is down to 80 cents.
The price of cash wheat is down to
20 cents. At country points it is
down to IS or 20 cents. Armour's
hired men are out buying millions of
bushels of real wheat at the price

price of No. 2 red on May y and 90

"Now, I have been :supposing' that
this thing happened. Right here T
stop supposing. This thing did hap

Except, of course, that Armour
did not do the thing alone. No poor
man, with a mere million or so, could
carry out successful bear or bull
campaign. Even a man as rich as
Armour could not do it alone. But
Armour had with him other export
ers who needed from 300,OO0,O0O to
4OO,000,000 bushels of real wheat to
sell to the allies. He also had with
him the great milling interests. The
Minneapolis mills alone wanted

while phantom wheat can be

Of bushels, phantom wheat cannot be
milled into flour. nor can it be ex-

and the elevator men wanted real
wheat and they wanted it cheap. So
they 'beared' the market. At any

force prices down.

EVAN EVANS WILL

STATE CHAIRMAN
Republicans to Name w. G.

ocrats Launch Movement
in Favor of D. L. Evans.

Evan Evans, present chairman OF the
Republican state central committee
will be re- elected to succeed himself at
a meeting of the new committee now in
progress at the Owyhee hotel. All the
opposition to Chairman Evans which
promised to develop when the new
committee were elected, disappeared by
the time the committee got down to
business and no other candidates for
the position were being considered.
w. c. Gregory of American Falls will
be named secretary of the committee
and c. E. Elmer publicity manager.
This was the program decided upon
when the committee went into session
shortly before o'clock this afternoon.
It will in all probability be carried out
to the letter. The Democratic commit
tee meets tonight at the Grand hotel.
J. T. Pence and d. L. Evans are prom
inently mentioned for ST re chairman.
Chairman Evans has been In charge
Of the party's affairs since the resig-
nation of George A. Day. There was
no desire to force an open rupture with
the chairman or with north Idaho and
no concerted fight made on the chair
man. It was earned through his
friends that he desired collection and
rapidly an organization was perfected
behind him.
The committee will name presiden-
tial electors also. Those mentioned
among Republicans Of prominence over
the state are Dan Church, Judge Wal
tiers. Senator Baldridge, John D. Rob-
ertson. e. NJ. Heigho, Frank r. Good
ing and others.
In the election Of Mr.. Gregory as
secretary, the friends of the American
Falls banker feel that there will be
placed in charge of affairs at head
quarters a man who is able to direct
q successful campaign. Mr.. Elmer has
been acting as secretary but is to take
over the publicity work and have full
charge. A speaking campaign Is to be
lnaugurated Immediately.
