ISSUELESS PARTY. Cued Condition of Democratic National Committee. FIND THEMSELVES IN SCRAPE By Clinging to the Personal Fortunes of One Man?Their Conference at Chicago Was a Ghastly Ceremony. Srysn Has Become Absurd In the Eyes of the American People. New York Times (Ind.' Dem.): The Democratic national committeemen are ev idently a bit dazed themselves at the scrape they have got the party Into by hitching to It the personal fortunes of tjiie men. Their conference at Chicago una a gliaslly ceremony. There were no ideas In their heads, and there was ' nn murage In their hearts. When they talked about the plans of the campaign for next year, and the issues upon which the flght for the presidency is to be J made they made an exhibition of their hopeless condition that would be pitiful ' If it were possibly to feel pity..for blun- ' derlng Incompetence. J We are told that it was i&e unanlI mous opinion of tjie committee that the * Chicago platform of 1898 must be re- 1 I adopted "in its entirety," with antitrust and antl-lmperlallst plants added. 1 The structure and substance of the Chicago platform la free silver coinage, rake that away, and there remains only a gelatinous mass of Socialistic proto- J plasm that cannot be made to stand j alone from the sustaining framework of < free silver. But it is perfectly appar- j ent that the Democratic committeemen and managers want to poke the free silver issue out of sight into the background, where it will m&kn'no trouble during the canvass next year. They have sense enough to see that issue will j defeat them if it is made prominent, j They have not as yet shown the capac- j ity to formulate any practicable new is- > sues to take its place. They all talk about opposition to the ! trust# and to imperialism. Upon those subjects their utterances ring hollow , 1 and false. There Is no more spirit In ' < them than there .is in the remarks of ] an Imperfectly educated parrot. A . musty and repetitious flavor pervades everything they say about "new is- 1 sues." They do not believe in their ' efficacy. They know aa well now as they 4 will know a year from now that they , cannot restore the Democratic party to ' rirnunr and th? confidence of the neoolc 1 by an assault upon the trusts and upon < the policy, of the administration In rc- ] par'd to our new possessions. Anti-lmperlallsm. Indeed. Is already in Its last gasp. The elections showed that the people refused to take any interest In it. The wiping out of Agulnaldo's Insurrectlon and the endeavors of our military authorities in the Philippines to e.?- ' 1 tabllsh civil government in the cities ) nrd towns where they have succeeded In t restoring order and obedience to law ' will quite make an end of the issue, and 1 of talk about it before the candidates < ere nominated. i AS for the trusts, it has been many | times pointed out thnt the diabolical j cunning of the monsters In paying high j ' wages to their men would In a very i large measure paralyze th?? campaign I , attack? upon them. We are not aware ! to which party Mr. Samuel Compere be- I longs, or whether he belongs to either.! ? but If he Is a Democrat. It Is evident I t that he Is not In the confidence of the ] , present managers of that Bryanlrod party He appeared as a witness be- s fore the Industrial commission nt Wash- J 1 ington. the other day. and gave testimony which is thus summarized in the , , preyS report: speaKing oiine union ihdci. air. uom perm said that there were thirty-seven i dUTtfftit organizations now using the , lab# and that It was growing to pop-; ulnrjty very rapidly. He defended the boycott as a legal and proper weapon i for the working man holding that what ; he had a right as an individual to do , he was Justified In uniting with others to do. Mr. Gompers said that organized labor i viewed trusts simply as their employers. There had been cases In which the or- j conization had ben benefitted by com- ; blnations of capital. It was too early to decide whether men would be more ! i steadily employed by the trusts than ;, by other employers. He had found that | these combinations have more Influence 1 In securing legislation than had unor- < ganlzed capital. | , He took a position against co-opera- . tlv" schemes, sayjng that experience I had proved that laborers secured no j greater advantages under them than j under the wa>??? system. He had no fear of the future for organized labor. The condition of labor was better today than ever before, and he attributed the Improvement to the Influence of organized labor. Now, coming from the president of the American Federation of Labor, this testimony must be considered an authoritative nresentatlon of the views of organized labor. It Is highly significant i in two respects. In (he first place, it j reflects no general opposition to trusts , and combinations of capital. The work- ! Ingmen look upon them "simply as their employers." If they get good wages and nre well treated they have no scntl-1 mental, ethical or politico-economic ob- ] 1?ctlon to their continued existence. But If the labor vote cannot ,be turned ; ngaist the trusts, where are the votes ! 1 to be found that will elect Mr. Bryan ' on that Issue? Votes mujU be gained that could not be had fodgEree silver. I Who fs to cast them? The second notable rjualfty of Mr. i OompTS" testimony Is thflt'yt exhibits i organised 'abor as the greatest of all j trusts. There Is no "monster" in the countrv a hundredth nnrt as big and i nowi-rful as the great Federation of T.a- j bor for which Mr. Oomper* spoke when he nnpe'areri before the Industrial com- ; mission. TTp even defended Ih*- boy- i eott ns a legitimate weapon. "What h" had a rlvht ns an Individual to do ho j who Instlfled lr unltln*? with others to; rto," he >?nfd.

The balance of trade in the wheat, e corn, oats and provision markets is now k in favor of May contracts.

Factors In the weakness were lower cables, forced De- | 8 cember liquidator and an increased I - visible supply of 1,836,000 bushels. The I price held slightly above initial figures, on buying ngrtlnst puts, and some covII erlng by shorts, but clung very close to : the bottom until there was a cessation I of the December liquidation.
