One Cent. ’ Absolutely Independent. ‘ SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1891. 9 GOBBLED BY THE win-SKY Timer. The Combine Now Owns Every Distillery in the United States. . CHICAGO, June 6.—-The negotiations for the purchase of the only anti-whisky trust distilleries in the country have been com- pleted._ They are the H. Schufeldt & Co. distillery and'the Calumet Distilling com- pany. The negotiations for the purchase of these companies have been carried on with great secrecy, and the announce— ment of the consummation of the pur- chase caused considerable surprlse. The sale of both plants includes the real es- tate, machinery, stock of gopdS, patents, brands and trade marks, and the right 1‘10 continue the use of the names. In connection with the purchase_the di- rectors of the whisky trust disclaim any intention to advance prices. They abso- lutely decline to give the purchase price, merely saying the purchase was for cash and at figures satisfactory to all parties. The price is known, however, to be in the neighborhood of $2,000,000. ' The Schufeldt distillery was partly burned yesterday. An attempt was made some time ago to blow it up With dyna- mite, and George J. Gibson, secretary of the whisky trust, is now under indictment charged with being implicated in the plot. It is thought that the purchase of the dis- tillery by the trust will materially affect the Gibson case, and help to remove the vindicative feeling toward him entertained by the Schufeldts. A Sensation Spoiled. AUGUSTA, Me, June 6.—Detective Heald, of the Maine Central railroad, who has been investigating the recent alleged at- tempt at train robbery near Enfield, says the alleged train robbers were, simply a drunken crowd, who boarded the train at the station, pulled the cord, stopped the train, fired pistols in the air, jumped from the cars and ran away. They did not at- tempt to enter the baggage or express cars, though the doors were open. A Noted New Jersey Mason Dead. ASBURY PARK, June 6.——Fred L.

Biuu Tun POLITICS. He Ventures a Prediction as to the Next Republican Platibrm. FREE GOINAGE or SILVER. That Is a Plank the Ex-Senator Says the Party >Will Adopt and Win with in ’92—The Relations of the 01d Par- ties to the New Movement. WASHINGTON, June 6. —Ex- Sen ator Blair, of New Hampshire, is viewing politics from the outside nowadays and is taking the world philosphically. Your correSpon- dent met him at the Arlington, and he talked without restraint. The senate and the Chinese mission are for him things of the past, and if he is going to begin the practice of diplomacy in Japan he does not know it. He is a looker on in politics, though he probably does not expect always to remain inactive. I asked him about the thiry party movement, which is the right question to start politicians 'with now. He looked far off into space for a moment, as if taking a bird’s eye View of the whole political field. “Do you think the people who are in the movement can be reasoned out 01 their present convictions? Much depends on that. I assume that the farmers are the backbone of the movement. They are an intelligent class of men and, unless they have struck a truth that they cannot be turned from somewhere in their plat- form, they are apt to be reached by argu- ment. _ “They start out with several proposi- tions. If there is any important one which cannot be settled by fair argument, the movement will probably live until a practical test by experiment has been made. The greenback movement had its run‘; not only in the west but in the east it had strong advocates, and some of our public men who have since had their heads cleared out and recovered their senses, held to the theory of fiat money before the resumption. The soundness of the theory of money which required that it should have a commercial value not dependent upon the fiat of the government was demonstrable, however, and the fiat money craze died out. It is clear enough now to men like Sherman, who at one time believed in the first theory, that money must have a value of its own. In- telligent people who advance any other theory can be brought by argument to re- alize that. Economic and Social Questions. “If the third party movement is based on a demand for fiat money there will be no life 33 it and it cannot hurt either of the two old parties. . But I believe they in- clude other propositions in their platform —the government control of railroads and telegraph; land questions and other eco- nomic and social reforms, some of which it may not be possible to demonstrate by argument to be incorrect. Some of them may demanddemonstration by experiment and the government may have to make the experiments before the questions can be settled. ' “C. P. Huntington, who has the reputar tion of being the greatest railroad manager in the world, who has been referred to as the best business man of this generation, is quoted as flying that if he could con- solidate all e railroads of the country under his management he could make them pay. With this testimony from an unexpected source and one of high author- ity, they may argue that the only way to consolidate the railroads is under the gov- ernment, and insist that under such con- trol it is entirely practical to run them for the profit and convenience of the public. It may not be easy to overturn this propo sition .by'argument; the experiment may in time have to be tried. All these ques- tions or overcoming monopolies may have to be tested by experiment, and there may be others that will give stability to a new party unless the old parties step in and take them up.” “ Speaking on the money question the ex- 'senator said: “This issuing of a paper note secured by silver and making it a legal tender is notwise. These notes are fiat, and it is not just to‘make the creditor take them in payment of debts contracted un- der a coin basis. No money should be a legal tender which has not a value of its Own." Silver is legal money, money under the constitution. Let us have free coinage of silver and let the .coin be legal tender, but do not put the fiat upon paper in any form. I think that the next Republican platform will declare in favor of the free coinage of silver. I believe the old party will pull itself together, will meet the de- 'mands of the people andfivill Win in ’92. I believe I could write the plank in the plat form now,"We believe in free coinage of silver and gold as legal tender for all debts, public and private.’ ” . “Do you think, then, that the Republi- cans in the next congress will join the Democrats of the house in passing a free ’coinage act?” was asked. _ . . ' The Outcome of the Movement. “No, I do not,” was the reply. “That issue will not be settled in the next con- gress, but will come into the campaign. The Republicans will put free coinage in their platform, and they will try to placate the discontented farmers. Then if the Farmers’ Alliance sees no hope of electing a third party president each individual will reason out for himself the probable effect of his vote if cast for a third candi- date. “If he prefers the Republican candidate to the Democratic candidate, and finds that his voting for the third candidate will help the Democrat, he will vote the straight Republican ticket. A Democrat instead of voting the third party ticket will vote 'his old way. The third party votes will be those cast by men who, one side or The other, are opposed to their old party, but. cannot quite bring themselves to vote for its rival. “Th-is, I think, is very likely to be the outcome of the third party movement un- interest to the whole people and make a fight on both the old parties. They are not forging as the blacksmith does, and we are yet to see what is coming out of it. If they assemble together propositions for . the improvementOf the condition of the people which seem to promise well and which cannot be successfully attacked by mere argument; if, among other proposi- tions for government institutions for the benefit of the whole people whichthey ad- tion, and should make an earnest fight, I believe they would defeat both the old par- ties.” , Speaking of the party nominations, he said he thought it now looked as if Har- rison would be renominatcd, but he could form no opinion as to what the Democrats Would do for a candidate.
