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."

FEMALE LABOR SCARE.
Not Enough Girls to Suit the Potts
vllle Factories.
Pottsvllle, Sept. 20.Searclty of fe
male labor Is tho cry of the silk nnd
shirt manufacturers here. Some time
tiro, when business was dull, many
girls left Pottsvllle to sok ompljy
ment elsewhere. Now the supply of
female labor is not equal ta the" de
mand. The shift factory has for soma
time been incapacitated cwltig to lack
of hands to operate tho machines.
There is a wonderful bier'-asc in the
demand for female labor In the past
year or two. Many factories desiring
to locate here have been compelled
to sock other places on account of tho
scarcty of this element cf the local
population.

Syria, and Inherits the noble qualities of
his most excellent father. He said that
the Protestants In the Turkish empire
had Increased from !" persons In 1839
to 75,000 in 1S99. Other work, such as
schools, colleges and printing houses,
have greatly Increased. The great dis
couragement has been for the lack of
means, on account of which many of
tho schools have been closed. But Just
now, encouragement comes that a large
sum has been received toward the re
opening of tho schools.

TROUBLE THREATENED
AT STEVENS COLLIERY
Polish Miners Declare That the Work
Shall Not Be Operated Awed by
Sheriff's Posse.
Special to Tho Scrar.ton Tribune.
rittaton, Sept. 20. Ever since a few
days after tho riot nt the Stevens'
colliery a few weeks ago, tho company
has had men at work maklng.repalra
in tho mines, tho number being gradu
ally Increased until at present about
15 men are at work. The striking for
eigners had made no direct objection
until yesterday, when they sent word
to one of the sheriff's deputies, a Polish
Interpreter, to attend their meeting to
bo held yesterday. While present lit
the meeting, the deputy was Informed
that the men now working would M
stopped on and after today (Wednes
day). The foreigners said they would
prevent tho work from going on even
it they had to sacrifice their own lives.
The deputy Immediately Informed
Sheriff Harvey, who was In attendance
nt Allentown fair, and the sheriff ar
rived in town last night with a rein
forcement of deputies. Early thin
morning the deputies, thirty in num
ber, some armed with) Winchester ri
fles, others with revolvers, took their
position near the scone of the Inte
riot and awaited the arrival of tho'
strikers. Tho expected trouble, how
ever, failed to materialize, not one Po
lnnder being seen near tho colliery,
and tho only glimpse got of them was
when they stuck their hiead3 out of the
windows of their homes as several dep
uties patrolled the streets leading to
the mine. They have evidently had all
tins fight they want. Several Polnn
ders are among the company men now
at work. Tho sheriff has posted riot
notices In tho vicinity of the colliery,
warning the strikers.

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. S. bonds were unchanged on bid
