N THE CAMPAIGN OF THIS YEAB.
e Denounces the Old Farties as Frauds and
Flayed Out, and
DHONISHES THE K. OP L. HOW TO TOTE
TtnaXT. TELBr.BAM TO TOT DISPATCH.!
Philadelphia, June 28. General
Taster Workman X, V. Powderly, of the
Cnlghts ot Labor, who was elected by the
xecutive Committee of the People's party
"Pennsylvania delegate at large to the Ka
onal Convention of the party to bebeld at
maba on Jnly 4, came to the city to-day
id registered at the Windsor Hotel, where
was joined by General Secretary Hayes
ad General Lecturer A. W. "Wright, of the
Znights, who are also delegates to the
maha Convention.
The three eminent Knights spent the day
i close consultation, and left early in tbe
vening for Omaha. Before taking his de
artnre, Sir. Powderly said to a reporter
r The Dispatch:
"There is no Democrat or Republican, no
tatter bow able, who can successfully con--adict
the assertion that their platforms
re based on deceit Take the silver plank
t an illustration. Keither party believes
1 tbe remonetization of silver, yet both
ould catch the votes of tbe advocates of
ee silver.
The Deed of a Tllllan In the TMjhr.
"A treacherous act was performed in the
ight; the assassin stole, dirk in hand into
le United States Congress. He stabbed
here he could do the most good, and when
e plucked his cursed steel away the silver
ollar, -which had stood with the constitu
on itself up to 18T3, lav prostrate at the
et ot the English and German bankers,
ho sent Ernest Sevd across the ocean to
ribe the American Congress to demonetize
lver in the interest of ioreign money
n tiers.
'Sworn testimony has been adduced to
rove that Ernest Sevd performed his duty
ithfully and well. "We all know that sil
r was demonetized; we know that the
.merican people did not ask for its demon
lization, and that they did not know of its
emonetization until the evil was upon
aem. It was an act of treachery aye, of
reason, and tbe whole plan has been laid
are before Congress within tbe past two
ears. Both parties know that it was
rong; that it was stealthily and treacher
usly done. They know that it was con
ary to tbe American idea of fair play to
eal a blow in the dark, and yet neither
artr has the manliness to demand that
ilver be placed where it was before the
idden haup had struck the blow.
The Tariff Qneftion Settling ItsMt
"That tariff question is settling itself
ithout the aid of politicians, tor when an
imerlcan manufacturer feels that he can
ompete with ioreign rivals he asks that
he tariff be taken off the article which he
lanufactures. That wages are good and
ad in this protected land no one will deny;
hat wages are bad and good in free trade
England no one will deny; and yet the
ampaign orators will urge the people to
elieve that there is no other issue than the
iriff in this campaign.
"Being in and out is practically the only
ifference between the rival wings of the
arty of plutocracv, and iF the people have
:nse both will be out when the campaign
Ises. Search both platforms carefully and
efirsod not one living issue will strike
ou as standing boldly out in favor of re
nn in the true sense "of the word. We
now that the land should not be subject to
peculatire traffic, and we are confident that
is so held. We know that idle lands es
ape taxation, and that the labor of thou
inds goes to increase the value of this
md.
Tsxrt All "Paid by the Poor Man.
"VTe know that one speculator gets the
n crease in value, and that the other 999
'bo reside in that vicinity pay the taxes,
ot only on their own homes." but on the
peculators' land as well. Whether the
ireign manufacturer does or does not pay
he tariff, we do know that the American
ndustrialist, merchant and manufacturer
lust pay the taxes on the lands now held
v speculators and for the enrichment of
lie few.
"We all know that the Republican and
)emocratic parties did not speak out in be
alf of the people'on the great living ques
10ns, and, knowing that, how oan we con
itently vote for either Benjamin Ham
on or Grover Cleveland? Wall street nomi
ated both of them. Through Chauncey M.
)epew (the original striker on the New
'ork Central Railroad in 1S90, and the
lost cowardly ot them all, for he ran away
a Europe after planning the strike) Ben
iiniii Harrison was placed In nomination,
'hat was the railroad interest of Wall
treet speaking for the Presidency.
An Advantage of the Third Partr.
"When the Omahacandidates come before
s for our votes they will be able to tell
?hat they represent, and every man who
rill be able to tell why he does it, but 75
ut of every hundred who vote the other
wo tickets will not know why they are
)emocrats or Republicans.
"If there is a voter within the United
.tates who should feel in duty bound to
ote for the nominees of the Omaha Con
ention tbe Knight of Labor is that man.
Vndwh? The General Assembly of 1890
rdered its general officers to call a conven
ion of representatives of all industrial or
anizations for the purpose of 'formulating
political platform to which we could give
ur support at the polls.' The Farmers'
Uliance and Industrial Union, which met
few weeks afterward, adopted a similar
esolntion, and from that beginning came
he industrial conference at St. Louis on
Washington's Birthday, 1892. .
All Scoffed at as Cranks.
"That conference adopted a political
latform and placed it before the American
eople, so that both pf the so-called great
arties might have the opportunity to adopt
he platform of industry. Both parties re
acted it; they scoffed at it and the 'cranks'
rbo made it. Knights of Labor are re
ponsible for the existence ot the St. Louis
latform, and the Knights ot Labor should
upport it at the polls, for it is of our own
laking. ,
"Whether the nominees at the Omaha
invention are elected or not, the agitation
or Govern nent ownership of railroads, a
ational currency independent of bankers,
nd'an equitable system of taxation of land
nines will continue until the whole Ameri-
an people understand these issues. This
ampaign will be a glorious one for educa
ion on these essential points, and it cannot
ill to win, no matter who is elected. I be
ieve the platform ot the St Louis confer
nce is right and will vote for it next ITo
ember. I furthermore believe that every
tber man should do the same."
Mr. Powderly was sanguine that there
rould be something in the nature of a po
itical revolution in the Western States as
result of the Omaha convention. He ex
ressed himself as confident that the Peo
le's party could and would easilv carry
everal of those States, and he thought that
he outlook was also favorable to the Third
arty in several of the Southern States. "

THE BUSINESS WORLD.
Drexel, Morgan fc Co. Back Oat' of
the Richmond Terminal Scheme.
BEFDSED THE NECESSARY POWER.
It Looks Now as if the Great System Is
Doomed to Disruption.
FIRES, FAILURES ASD RAILWAT NEWS
New York, June 28. DrexeI,Morgan'&
Co. to-day sent a letter to W. E. Strong, the
Chairman of the Eichmond Terminal Stock
holders' Committee. The firm says it has
made careful scrutiny of the affairs of the
Eichmond Terminal system, and believe an
equitable reorganization possible, and one
that would make the property financially
sound. Then the letter runs thus. '
Tbe complication and difficulties which
most be met In this connection make It
necessary, we need scarcely add, that we
should, as your representatives, and as far
aapossible.be protected against any single
interest which might, for personal or other
reason, desire to thwart the successful, car
rylng out of snoh reorganization. With this
tu mind, wo deemed it essential befoie any
aotlon on our cart that a majority of each
class of stock and bonds of the Biolimond &
Western Terminal Railway and Warehouse
Company be deposited with us for the pur
pose ot reorganization, and that all litiga
tion should be put under our control, and
under the contiol of persons of our selec
tion, substituted for the receiver now In
possession of the properties.
Therefore, upon learning ot the. appoint
ment of receivers of the Bichmond and Dan
ville property by the United States Court,
we applied to w. P. Clyde to know wbether,
In case we undertook tbe reorganization,
the stock under his control would be trans
ferred to us and the present receiveis resign
In favor of Mr. Spencer, stating that such a
course was essential. He deolines to give us
any such assurance, and our conversation
with him leads us to doubt his loyalty to any
reorganization plan whatever, although he,
as one of your committee, signed tbe request
to us to undertake tue same.
As, in our opinion, It Is essential to tbe
success of any plan that during tbe reor
ganization tbe properties involved te under
our control, as already mentioned, and as
the position taken by Mr. Clyde makes this
Impossible, we are obliged reluctantly to
decline the invitation to undertake the re
organization. The Pott says:
The grounds assigned by Messrs. Drexel,
Morgan & Co. In tbelr refusal to undertake
the Bichmond Terminal reorganization
fully confirm the suspicion which bas been
(trowing of late, that controlling interests In
the several railroads which make up the
system are in reality averse to any outside
reorganization. The very interesting cor
respondence on the subject shows cither
that the terms suggested by the bankers
were oonaideied too haishby the underlying
bondholders, or else that tbe bondholders
had resolved, under any clrcnmstances, to
cut loose their own companies from the
general System and tatce thoirobanoes alone,
rn either case, the present situation points
unmistakably to tbe disruption of the Bich
mond Terminal system.
The Committee of Fifteen met this after
noon, bnt adjourned until July 7 without
action. The letter or Drexel. Morgan & Co.
was discussed, but the committee made no
expression as to its views. Members of tbe
committee still think Drexel, Morgan & Co.
will undertake tbe work of l eorganizatlon.
An order was signed by Judge Bond at
Baltimore to-day authorizing the receivers
to issue receivers' certificates to an amount
not exceeding $1,000,000. The money will be

pointment of receivers and the car rentals
and interest obligations of the leased lines
THE TRUST STILL VICTOR.
A Defective Indictment Prevents Punish
ment of a Whisky Magnate.
New YOEK,-June 28. Judge Lacombe,
in the United States Circuit Court of the
Southern district ot New York, to-day
handed down a decision in the case of Her
bert Terrell, who was arrested in this district
on an indictment found In Massachusetts
aeainst him as a member of the
Whisky Trust. The warrant was -based
upon an affidavit, which, was itself based
solelv on the fourth count in an indictment
found by the grand jnry.in the District
Court of the United States for the District
of Massachusetts. The court, in its de
cision, says!
It is not dlspnted by tbe District Attorney
that it Is not only the right, but the duty of
tbe District Attorney, Defore ordering re
moval, to look Into the indictment, so far as
to be satisfied that an offense, against the
United states Is charged, and that it is such
an offense as may be lawfully tried by tbe
forum to which it is claimed the accused
should bo removed. It would be a
grave abuse or the rights of
the citizen If, when charged with alleged
offenses, committed perhaps in some place
be had never visited, he were removable to
a district thousands of miles from his home
to answer to an indictment fatally
defective. The points of law arising
upon this indictment were ail carefully con
sidered Dv Judge Bicks in bis opinion filed
June II, 1892, Northern District or Ohio, on
application for a removal. In that opinion
I entirely concur, and the District Attorney,
apparently admitting its application, has dis
cussed only the question arising from the
seventh count, ureing that, the learned
jndge did not fully apprehend (the
averment of that count, and, there
fore, erred in holding that no contract
was averred by the dealers obligating them
selves to purchase exclusively from defend
ants and to sell at the prices defendants
fixed.
The only trade which it is pretended was
curtailed or affected in any way, was the
trade of Kelly and Durkee, in distilling
Sroducts between September 23, 1S91, and
lay 7, 1892. During that period they bought
such product only fiom certain named
dealers in a limited number of States, and
sold only at prices fixed by the de
fendants: but they did so only because
they chose to, because an offer of a
rebate to purchasers who would thus con
duct their business was an inducement
operating upon their selr-interest. No
obligation or any kind constrained them so
to do during the entire period, certainly no
contract restrained them, for there was no
contraot in existence.
It is not tbe actual restraint of trado (if
such be restraint of trade) that is made il
legal by the statute, but the making of a
contract in restraint of trade ot a contract
which is intended to restrain trade.
It is difficult to understand upon what
principle it can be contended that trade is
restrained by a contract when the trade In
distillery products which Kelly and Durkee
carried on between September 10, 1891,
and May 7, 1892, was restrained (If
restrained it were). That there
was no contract in existence Is
conclusively admitted on the'face of the in
dlotment itself, which charges the statutory
offense to wit: The making of a contract,
etc., as committed on May 2, 1892. The pe
titioner should be discharged.
THE PEHB8Y'8 8HBEWD SCHEME
That Prevents tbe Drexals From Making a
Mint Oat of Bending Reorganization.
Philadelphia, June 8. Special. There
is a good story back of tho refusal of Will
iam P. Clyde to j oln the reorganization of
tbe Bichmond Termiral system. It is a part
of the warfare between the sPennsylvanla
and Beading roads and a whack at the D rex
els for helping the Heading combine. Clyde's
firm has the exclusive privilege of a line of
freight boats between Fhlladelphiaand New
York on the .Delaware and Barltan Canal.
This privilege is given by the Pennsylvania
Ballroad, and theClydesare always leady
to do anything to keep It. The Pennsylva
nia fears that if the Biolimond Terminal is
reorganized the Beading and Baltimore and
Ohio will establish a system from New York
to the Sonth that will shut the Pennsyl
vania out.
Again, Drexel & Co. were called In to
take charge of the Blohmond Teinlnal re
organization. Clyde on account of bis con-
'.....frfm. vrlttl tt.A Pannanllranln n r, tn
oblige that corporation, stepped into court
and was appointed a receiver for the Bich
mond and Danvillo road, and then refused
to step out, so that Drexel conld reorganize
the Richmond Terminal system, of which
the Bichmond and Danville is a part. Thus
the Pennsylvania has blocked the Beading
aobeme to go south, and bas kept Drexels
from making at least one and a half -millions
of dollars, which tbey would have made on
the reorganization.

The United States Attorney Etlll Thinks
Be Has a Good CnieiAa-alnstlt.
Bostost, June' 28 United States District
Attorney Alien said yesterday of tbe Whisky
dispatc?.' "Wednesday
Trust matter: "I propose to push the eases
and present tbe law and tbe faots to tbe
Court, whose duty it will be to pass upon
them and render tbe decision. 1 understand
the defendants claim they cannot be tried
under tho Sherman act, because it has been
passed since the organization of the Whisky
Trust.
"Of course, we cannot allege violations of
the law that occurred before tbe law was
passed; but the trial will be ror subsequent
violations, and I do not, see why the mere
faot of prior organization 6n the part of the
Whisky Trust should Justify it in commit

The Court, as read, will have to interpret
the meaning and scope of the law."
