THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21 1899. NORTHEA MR. PALMER ON THE CONFERENCE OPINIONS OF A WILKES-BAItRE-AN ON TRUST POW-WOW. Tho Ex-Attorney General Finds a Varied Assortment at Chicago Many of Tho Trust Remedies Fro oosed Much Worse Than tho Dls caso They Are Supposed to Cure. Colonel Bryan a Disappointment. WllkPS-narre, Sept. 20. Hon. II. . Palmer, who attendiii tho trust con ference at Chicago as a da'egato up polnted by Governor Ston.-;, has re turned from his trip and expresses himself In an Interesting way with ref erence to tho same. He says In part: "I found the conference at Chicago 'very Instructive as well ns amusing. Taken all together, tho chief pjrform prst were a most remarkable assort ment. Political economists, labo. re formers, socialists, single tnxen, an archists, free traders, protoo'lonlsts, polltlclans.deiuagogiies and cranks were all represented and given nn oppor tunity to air their peculiar views. Tha most conspicuously absent person was tho trust promoter. "All the different classes of people were of one mind ns to the capacity of combinations of manufacturers large ?nough to control trade for making mischief by overcharging, but then was no agreemnt on any other subject. Some of the professors of political economy who were, of course, familiar with tho history of industrial dsvelop ment In all countries were of t'u- opin ion that the tendency among manufac turers to consolidate for the purpose of avoiding destructive competition, sav ing In the cost of production and distri bution, was a natural evolution and distinct advance: that evidently tlu effect would bo to reduce the cost of the necessaries of life nnd advance tho wages of labor: that the capitalist, tho consumer and the laborer or mechnnlc would nil share In the saving and tho general welfare be promoted by tho de crease of economic waste. This rosy view was strongly contradicted by tin nntl-trust shouters. who contended that the temptation to advance prt-? when a combination obtained contril of the market would be too st'-iing to lie resisted and that Instead of reduc ing the cost of the necessaries of llfo it would be Increased. "The remedies suggested by tho nntl trusters were various. Tho Southern delegates were In favor of smashing all combinations of capitalists w!,lt)U reservation or mercy. Texas and Ar kansas have already adopted laws closing their courts to all r. -rsons or corporations who seek to collect a debt due a combine, forbidding them to transact business In tho SUtes, and making disobedience to the law a fel ony punished by lino and imprhnn nient. ".Mr. lirynn's remedy was to gh-o tho States full power to deal with tho trusts as they might see fit, and to the federal government power to regulate nnd license all doing intorswo busi ness. "Mr. Cochran favored laws securing publicity of accounts, and with this means of knowledge In tb hands of the people, tho greater llb?rt" ;o do business With or without ooinb'nationa being assured, that excessive prof.t would Instantly bring competition into any nnd nil fields of Indust.-v. BRYAN A DISAPPOINTMENT. In speaking of Mr. Bryan Vr. Palmer said: "Mr. Bryan nnd his speech were .1 great disappointment to his admirers and to none more than the v;.-7 en thusiastic delegation from Txaa and Arkansas. It was observed that his observance was labored, Ills law faulty nnd tho remedy for what ho assumed o be the evils of combinations of cii ital far worse than any posslbV dis ease. During the latter part oi Mr. Bryan's address he adapted portlor.s of his former speeches, which went off more easily. The newspaper accounts of his reception and tho applause given htm were greatly overdrawn. I have, peon meetings as dmonstn'vo in Ilkes-Uarre many a time. The senti ments most vociferously npolnuded wen- extracts from the Deela-atlon of Independence, nnd the Ten Command ments. Whether they were very novel or very familiar In Chicago could not be determined. The concenius jf opin ion was that ns ,a debator, thinker and nifJHTY HARD WORK. Some men have to do their work under nil sorts of unusual and ad verse c i r c u m - stances that are just as trying upon their health and physical condi tion as if thev wen- soldiers fighting and marching day and night in a hard cam paign. When the condi- riy lions unuer wmen a man &rj and unhealthy he neeus to take special precau tions to build himself up to withstand the extra strain. "In 1O0A, was uvrkinratntrhtanA 1 broke out in lumns all over and when these left the sVIn peeled off," says Mr. John A Calloway, of 318 26th St.. Columbus, Georgia, in a recent letter to Dr. K. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. V. " I hail catarrh for four yean nnd also liver and kid ney trouble; when it would commence troubling me I would have a sllclit aching a little below the chest. I used many kinds of medicine but received no benefit. My eyes were aunketi nnd rny face was pale; I had plinplea on rny face and there was brown spots on my face. Now these are alt cone. I took six bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery ami twoof Dr. I'ierce's 1'ellets. They arc the best medicines I ever used in my life, and I do believe that I am entirely welt. I have a good appetite but before I com. menced treatment I had no appetite at all. Now I am like a child ready to eat at any time of day or night. Iast year I weighed one hundred and thirty-four pounds and now r weigh one' hundred and forty-live. Please accept my thanks. I am so glad I found the right kind of medicine." "Golden Medical Discovery" is free ftom alcohol; it is pure medicine and noth ing else, Unlike the so-called "tonics" nnd "extracts" which tend to create an appetite for stimulants, the "Discovery" creates, only a healthy natural temperance appetite for good food which nourishes and strengthens, The medicine dealer who cays he has something "just as good" knows that he falsifies. If be urges an in ferior substitute it is to gain a few pennies greater profit No matter bow discour aged you may ba, write to Dr. Pierce for advice which he will send you ftecand which if followed, is hound to do you good, S TTERN PENN orator Mr. Bryan Is not in nitrite Coch ran's class. In fact his choa-,) plati tudes nnd coarse stories fell very flat on tho delegates present, and fvom them he had only scatt3'- n applause, hut the galleries made up when op portunity offered. He say- tli gaiety of the convention was stoutly rein forced by the delegates from tho South, particularly Texas, Arkanii? aid Mis souri, who were all repr- -ntcd by numerous patriots, Including their nt orncy general. They cime vtth the declaration that their minds weru made up, and that anti-trust laws filled tho hill as a remedy, but tho nltorlty with which they voted In tho committee on resolutions to present no nsolutlonj. Indicated that their confidence had been shaken." B. I. A. CORNER STONE. Its Lnylng Will Be Attended by Appropriate Exercises. WIlkes-Bnrre, Sept. 20.

THE MARKETS. Wall otreot Review. New York, Sept. 20. This wns a day of violent fluctuations and great specu lative excitement upon tho stock ex change. The movement of prlcoa was so feverish nnd uncertain that the dis position among professional operators was trenernl to close up accounts with tho day. As a consequrnco net changes are astonishingly small considering tho wido vibration during the dny. In only a fow Instances tdo they exceed frac tions, nnd though th'o m.tjorlty of stocks are lower there Is n fair sprink ling of gains, There was a time in the morning when a long list of spec ialties had advanced between 4 and 3 points and during tho afternoon ,they fell very generally to ns much below last night's level. A range of between 8 nnd S points was traversed during tho day by the following Industrial Ftocks: Continental Tobacco, Smelting Preferred, Colorado Fuel. Consolidated Gas. Federal Steel. Manhattan, Peo ple's Cas, Sugar. Tobacco, Metropoli tan S'reot railway nnd Brooklyn Tran sit. Tho railroad stocks did not move, so widely ns a rule but an cxtrenio range of between ITn nnd 24 wns trav ersed by St. Paul, Rock Island. Bur lington, Northwestern, Great Western Preferred. Chicago nnd Eastern Illi nois, St. Paul and Duliith, Chloagi Traction, Great Northern Preferred, Beading First Preferred and Lacka wanna. The Index of the market all day wns Brooklyn Transit, the deal ings In which were on an enormous scale. With n total capitalization of 430.000 share tho dny'i dealings In this rtoel: footed up 285,175 shares. Tt ad vanced 2-M after the opening, fell 7Vt to a new low level at 75U, and then retraced Its course, rising R pnlntn to S4V4, nnd closed nt tho high level of the morning. The whole market followed In Its wake in a general way, though Its erratic lluctuatlons wore Impossi ble to follow nt nil times. The mar ket was a ghmntlc. speculative contest throughout. Tho bears broke down thj pains which had be"n built up In tho morning with nppa'-ently little effort. There was large selllntr through com mission houses nnd the flood of In dustrials poured upon the market was said to be due to tho calling of somo large loans In which these stocks fig ured as collateral and which were sold to liquidate the loans. Thera wns m importnnt development today In tho money situation. Total sales, 915,700. Bonds weakened In sympathy with stocks, but the movement wns not wide. Total sales, par value, $1,512,000. TJ.
