DOWN ON MONOPOLIES.
The Knights of Labor Give the Standard
Gil Company a Severe
Drubbing.
No Afternoon Session—Committee Work
Occupies the Time—An Im
portant Action.
Ah Open Meeting of the "Cranks," at
Which the Land Question
is Discussed.
At the morning session of the Knights
of Labor general assembly, at Minne
apolis, yesterday, the rules were sus
pended after some discussion, and T.
11. Lawry, of Bradford, Pa., delegate of
I). A. 111, read a memorial denouncing
bitterly the Standard Oil company
monopoly, and appealing for members
of the order to sustain by their patron
age the K. of L. Co-operative Oil Refin
ing company, of Olean, N. V., which
caused some discussion of a favorable
character to the petitioners:
Office of the Knights of Labor Co-operative
Operative Oil Refining Company, (Mean. N.
V., Aug. 20,1887 — the officers and dele
gates of the general assembly. Knights of
Labor: Believing in the ultimate success of
our enterprise in the interest of the common
brotherhood, and relying as we must on the
order of the Knights of Labor for patronage
and support, therefore we appeal to this as
sent! for recognition and recommendation
to the order everywhere to purchase our oil
wherever it can" be had, and to make a de
mand to dealers for such goods. It the deal
ers will not supply the oil, then we ask that
the assemblies everywhere take action and
order for their use." thereby creating a de
mand for our oil. Remember we are com
peting with the strongest and most unscrup
ulous monopoly in the world. They have
caused the surrender of a greater number of
oil refineries and cotton seed oil plants
than all other monopolies combined. A
partial list of petroleum refineries in
Pennsylvania bankrupted, quashed out.
bought Dp and dismantled, embraces
seventy-one in number. A list of cotton seed
oil manufacturers frozen o.:t of existence by
the "American Cotton Oil Trust," owned and
controlled by the Standard Oil company
numbers ninety-four. The names of these
linns can be furnished.but it is not necessary
and would only occupy too much of the time
of this assembly and is therefore withheld.
At the rate they have been able to crush out
all competitors in the past ten years they
will, unless some system of restraint can be
adopted, own or "control in twenty years
three-fourths of all the railroads and* manu
facturing enterprises in the United states,
and. in fact, they do now virtually control
legislation in several of the states regarding
the transportation of oil. and have pocketed.
and are absorbing millions of dollars a year
at the expense of the producer. We ask "you
as members of common brotherhood to take
such action as shall seem consistent in the
circumstances. Many of our brothers are
standing by us nobly and our trade Is im
proving, yet. it is not sufficient to maintain
us at such an immense disadvantage.
The memorial is signed by the officers
of the oil company. _
Luther B. Noyes, of Wisconsin, re
sumed his report on the company laws
which affect organization, some of his
recommendations arousing considerable
discussion. A motion to prepare reso
lutions condemning the absorption of
the Baltimore & Ohio Telegraph com
pany by the Western Union and Jay
Gould in particular stirred up a red hot
debate, but finally canned and a com
mittee for the purpose was prepared.
J. S. Lovering, an lowa delegate,
asked that an address should be pre
pared and sent to the secretary of the
interior at Washington protesting
against the evictions In O'Brien county,
lowa, under the land grant forfeiture.
His request was unanimously granted.
The general master workman ap
pointed a committee of five to devise
plans for the future government of the
Labor Journal and another committee
on immigration legislation to prepare a
memorial to be presented to congress at
the coming session.
No meeting was held in the afternoon
in order to permit certain committee
work to be done.
THE "CRANKS' " MEETING.
A Series of Interesting Open
Meetings Arranged.
A series of five open meetings for the
discussion of vital topics has been ar
ranged to be held at the Elks' lodge
room. The first of these was held last
evening, and the others will be held
on Monday, Wednesday and Friday
evenings. T. B. McC.uire presided at
last night's meeting, and the "land ques
tion" was discussed in an interesting
manner.
John Budlong, of Kentucky, made the
first address, and was followed by a
number of others who made ten-minute
extemporaneous speeches. The follow
ing are some or the expressions of.
opinion:
J. M. Uloomer, Ohio— land is the basis
from which the wealth is extracted. I recog
nize but two factors in the production of
wealth, land and labor, and of the two, land
is the most important, for land can exist
without labor, but labor cannot exist without
land. That which is created by labor is
wealth, but that part of wealth that is set
apart for the production of other wealth, is
capital. Land is the means of existence, and
the question is whether a man has the right
to monopolize the means of existence. When
we admit that any man can use or monopo
lize more than he uses, we are admitting the
doctrine of a landedaristocracy.
HcGarvey, of Pennsylvania—ln the anthra
cite coal region the miners get 20 cents per
ton for bringing the coal to the surface,
where it becomes worth $1.25 and in New
V ork sells for $5. Many of us are compelled
to go West when millions are bound up iv
the earth by the present land system.
Juliet H. Severance, of Wisconsin—Men
never acquired any real title of laud except
by theft. If air could be bottled man would
become obliged to pay for air to breathe and
just as justly. Land should be as free as air.
Land monopoly is the basis of all monopoly.
Robert Schilling, of Illinois—lf man has "a
right to the laud he has right to access to the
sou without even taxation from the govern
ment. The charge against those who want j
free land is that they are socialists, but they 1
are simply desiring laud for the opportuni
ties it gives them.
C. F. Perry, of Illinois— 100,000,000
acres in this country' have been given to cor
j. orations. Thoae who believe in the George
theory ask too much. The transportation
and money questions are of greater import
ance than the land question as phases of the
industrial problem.
T. Brown, Rutland, Vt.—We don't claim
the George theory will accomplish every
thing, but it will help.
John Costello, of Philadelphia— system
of the world has been to monopolize that
which man must live upon.
William Walton, Kentucky— birth
place of Christ, the place where Solomon's
temple stood, is taxed.
John Nichols, of lowa— toilers on land I
Buffera living death.
Monday night Robert Schilling is to speak
upon "Anarchy."

THE CHICAGO MARKET.
Dullness Was the Feature The
Speculators Scalping Each
Other.
Special to the Globe.
Chicago, Oct. Dullness was again
the ruling feature on 'change to-day.
The trading was of light volume, and
confined mostly to the scalping element.
Receipts are on the increase here and
elsewhere. There is no probability of a
very important * increase in local re
ceipts, but arrivals at other primary
points will be larger during the ensuing
few weeks. The weather is favorable
to free farmers' deliveries at country
points, and country papers mention un
usual activity on the part of wheat rais
ers. On the inspection sheet this morn
ing was noticed thirty-three cars of No.
2 spring wheat, quite an increase, but
when the explanation was made that
twenty-six cars came from Arthur Orr's
Joliet elevator that sheet ceased to be
referred to as a bear argument. This
wheat brought a premium of 5 cents
overjnew wheat. That cannot be quoted
as a bear argument. The average esti
mates of the next visible range from
900,000 to 1,250,000 bushels increase. De
cember wheat hung around 72%(«;73c for
the first hour and a half and then broke
sharply to 72}£c, and later to 72% c, re
maining. steady at the decline. •M»v
ranged. at 78%@77%c, with most of the
trading done at or under 78c. The ex
citement in the stock market increased
as the day wore away and prices de
clined sharply. The whole line partici
pated in the shrinkage. The bears were
active and aggressive, and the manifest
weakness of the situation brought out a
great quantity of long stock. A rather fa
vorable bank statement was anticipated,
but it proved to be a disappointment,
Specie decrease. $170,565; legal lenders
increase, £40,800; deposits, increase
54,545,000; circulation.decrease $157,000.
The tone of the wheat market again got
weak toward the close, and during the
last half hour of the session there was
no spirit whatever in the trade. Sec
ond cables were rather better, but the
prospective large increase in the visible
supply and the larger movement of
wheat from the interior were depress
ing factors that could not be overcome.
(losing prices were at the bottom. Corn
was steady and very dull. Receipts are
large and the estimates for Monday are
540 cars. Heavy arrivals are expected
for the next week. The snipping in
quiry is sufficiently lively, however, to
keep values steady, and there is an un
dertone of considerable strength to
the market. Hutchinson and Phillips,
the rulers of the pit, are still decidedly
bullish in sentiment, and so long as
they think that way. and buy at every
indication of a decline, the bears are
keeping close to shore. Fluctuations
to-day were within a range of }{ cent,
and closings are the same as yesterday.
Up '.. cent and off % cent was the limit
of the changes. Oats were stationary
all day with next to nothing doing in a
speculative way. Nothing transpired
in provisions to make a paragraph
about.. The market was lifeless and
price changes Insignificant. Estimated
receipts of hogs for Monday 20,000 head.
The recent heavy purchases of October
wheat by Fleming & Boyden mystified
the trade for a while, but the deal is
plain now. The buying was for ac
count of the elevator interest.
The rich elevator men were forced to
buy the wheat to keep it here. By lock
ing up the receipts and holding the
grain off the market they propose to
carry the property into December. It
cannot well get away from Chicago
then, and will be delivered out. The
natural carrying rate for October and
November is I!.< cents per month,
exclusive of insurance, interest, etc.
The best Fleming & Boyden could do
for their clients by buying "October and
selling December was %c per month
storage, net. Thus it happens that the
wheat in the Chicago elevators, or the
bulk of it, is being carried by the pro
prietors of the warehouses themselves
for 50 per cent less than they pretend to
charge the public for the same service.
By delivering the property out on De
cember contracts they feel reasonably
certain that they will obtain full winter
rates, for the simple reason that the
wheat cannot be moved elsewhere. A
knowledge of the true inwardness of
the situation deters free selling
in this market against country
wheat. This would be a good thing for
the producer, perhaps, under ordinary
circumstances, but, unfortunately, spec
ulation has been paralyzed by high com
missions and other causes, and the pub
lic is standing aloof. The market is
stagnant— into the hands of
scalpers. Wheat does not come here
because of the extortionate storage tax;
bulls will not buy because they have
been taught by bitter experience that
they cannot beat these usurious charges,
and because of the higher commissions
charged on the Chicago board than on
other exchanges; and the bears and
shorts keep out because they are in con
stant fear that the narrow and con
tracted market will be "oversold," in
which event they stand to lose more in
an hour on a sudden flurry than they
could hope to make in a month. The
professional speculators on the outside,
who are keeping away from Chicago on
account of the high commission rates,
are placing the trades sparingly in
other markets.
GONE TO PIECES.
That Is What Is the Matter With
the Northwestern Association.
For two or three days some of the
members of some of the roads that have
been connected with the Northwestern
association have been holding meetings
in Chicago for the purpose of trying to
hold the association together and pre
vent the cutting of rates. Though they
succeeded in patching up a kind of
agreement, it virtually amounts to
nothing. The Burlington & Northern,
the Minnesota & Northwestern and the
Central lowa remained outside. The
Milwaukee &. St. Paul and the Wiscon
sin Central joined the new combination,
which is the old agreement modified,
and will act with it. Gen. Stone, of the
Burlington & Quincy, stated that the
Burlington & Northern would make no
efforts to demoralize agreed rates, and if
it should be compelled to reduce rates to
meet the competition of the Minnesota
& Northwestern, or other independent
lines, his road would promptly notify
the association of such action. It re
quires but little discernment to discover
that this arrangement amounts to noth
ing and will soon cease to exist, as rates
cannot be maintained with three lines
outside. Any rates made by the Minne
sota & Northwestern, the Burlington &
Northern or Central lowa will have to
be met by the association lines. The
latter are prevented by the terms of the
agreement from promptly meeting the
cut rates made by the independent
lines, and this places them at such a
disadvantage that new complications
will soon arise and cause a collapse of
the new agreement.
THE RATES MET.
The Milwaukee & St. Paul Make
Another Cut.on Lumber.
The Globe yesterday published the
fact that the Manitoba had reduced the
lumber rates, and this set the other
roads to work yesterday considering
what should be done. A meeting was
held yesterday attended by Messrs.
Bird and Boyden, of the Milwaukee &
St. Paul, and McCulloch and Foster, of
the Chicago & Northwestern. The situ
ation was discussed at considerable
length, and finally the two roads con
cluded to meet the rates of the Northern
Pacific and Manitoba. The matter now
stands practically, so far as the rail
roads are concerned, just as it did be
fore the Northern Pacific and Manitoba
roads took any steps.
Chips From the Ties.
The Chicago, • St. Paul, Minneapolis &
Omaha and Chicago & Northwestern rail
ways have issued a joint circular giving no
tice that hereafter the rate on potatoes in car
loads—minimum weight, 20,000 pounds—
from all stations on the Western Division of
the St. Paul &. Omaha railway to Chicago,
Milwaukee, and common points will be the
same as the rate on wheat in carloads—mini
mum rate, 121,5 cents per 100 pounds—but
not to exceed Class C rate.
Laurel. 030 miles west from St. Paul, and
Belgrade, 1,007 west on the same road, on
the Montana division, have been opened for
business. A new station has been established
on the same road nine miles west of Helena,
known as dough Junction. This is the junc
tion point ot the Helena & Northern with the
main line of the Northern Pacilic.
The Minnesota & St. Paul has issued a cir
cular allowing cars of agricultural imple
ments or vehicles wighbilled, one stop to
part unload, charging $5 for the stop; also
another circular allowing a return pass for
one or more men in charge of live stock.
The Northern Pacific evening train from
St. Paul will be held until 10:30 p. m. Mon
day and Tuesday. Oct. 10 and 11, to accom
modate the people; who attend the presi
dent's reception and who desire to return
home the same day.
The train on the Ilastlngs & Dakota divis
ion of the Milwaukee & St. Paul road No. 3,
will be held at Minneapolis on Tuesday even
ing until 8:30 to give people an opportunity
to see the president's train depart at 8 p. m.
David C. Johns has been appointed third
assistant general freight agent of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road.
The St. Paul earnings for September show
a decline of $191,971, or 7.6 per cent. The
gross earnings for eight months this year
have been at the rate of $3,304 per mile,
against $3,507 per mile last year.
