The spirit of speculation, of wild ven
ture, called, not inappropriately, gamb
ling by some, has grown .amazingly
within the past two decades until even-
from the cotton that clothes, to the grain
that feeds, everything is controlled in
price by combinations of men who
command the markets and fix the buy
ing and selling price.
In the Western markets, for instance.
the large speculators refuse to buy un
til the farmer, compelled by necessity,
is willing to takefer his-produce what
is offered him, and then, having gotten
possession of the stock on the market
they refuse to sell until the necessities
of the purchaser compel him to pay
the price demanded, no matter how ex
tortionate it may be ; thus they control
the market at both ends. The only hope
of the farmer who sella or the consumer
who buys, is when rival speculators
come into contact and endeavor to
drive each other out of the market
This causes competition, where out
siders may have some show. But rare
ly the farmer derives any benefit from
such combinations. There are now mil
lions of bushels of grain locked up in
the store-houses of Chicago and other
Western cities, waiting till the necessi
ties of the consumer compel him to pay
what the speculators demand. Practi
cally speaking, they can by combina
tions control the entire provision traffic
of the country and fix the price of every
pound of flour, meal or meat that is eat.
en, and that is what they have frequent
ly done within the past few years. It is
no uncommon thing for a meat.dealer,
for instance, with large capitarto back
him, to go into the market and buy up all
the meat in sight, store it away, fix his
his own figures upon it and realize fab
ulous sums in the way of profit, every
dollar of which comes ou of the pockr
ets of helpless consumers, who must pay
him Viia rrirA or on mfta.HP.aa, SrtmtOniJ
oats, wheat, and all the other food, ar
ticles that go on the market. So they'
corner on coal, wood, kerosene every
thing that enters into the daily con
sumption of the people. It has been
carried of late to such unreasonable ex
cess as to attract the attention of the
courts in some of the States, where ju
rors have been directed to such laws as
may be in existence against specula
tion of that kind, while preachers have
made it the subject of their pulpit dis
courses ana tne press nas exposed
and denounced it freely. Wnile this
species of gambling was confined to
speculating in mines, bonds, stocks, ect.
it didn't make so much difference, for
then people went in voluntarily and
took their chances. They didn't get
hurt if they didn't go in, and
they could stay out if they wanted
to; but when they go to gob
bling up the necessaries of life and
fixing an extortionate price upon them
it is quite another matter and some
thing in which all, rich and poor, are
interested, especially the poor, whd are
the great sufferers, whose little earn
ings are consumed in the best of times
in the effort to feed, clothe and educate
their families.
There are laws in many States to
protect the people from this kind of ex
tortion, but they have been suffered to
become a dead letter, and have been
almost forgotten until some judge, in
dignant at the cold-blooded, grasping
spirit of the speculators, delves into the
legal tomes and brings them to light.
Whether such laws can be enforced is
a question that remains to be deter
mined, and depends on whether the
judges and grand jurors will do their
duty or not, something they have not
shown any special alacrity in doing in
the past If a few of the colossal oper
ators were snatched up, convicted and
punished, it might have a wholesome
effect, but they are not the kind of men
that guardians of the law hanker to get
their hands on. It is barely possible,
however, that they may strike against
a judge with old time notions like
Judge Jamison, of Chicago, who has
sufficient reverence for the law to in
sist that it be respected and enforced,
2nd sufficient consideration for the
people to see that they be not made the
victims of these huge combinations
of extortionists.
FLOODS IN THE WEST-
This has been a year of trial with the
Western people, especially those living
along the great water courses, the Mis
sissippi and Missouri riyers. In the
spring the melting snows raised the
streams to flood height, and did im
mense damage, submerging in some
localities vast tracts of country which
were covered by the rushing waters
which bore along great bodies of float
ing ice, which did wild destruction to
property and life. The summer came
with its unprecedented drought, parch
ing the fields and burning the crops
over a wide area, leaving the farmer
but little for his labor and to support
him through the coming winter. Fall
set in with rains pouring down ki tor
rents, swelling the currents so that they
burst over the banks in many places

still stands to be destroyed. In the
river towns also much harm has been
done, buildings being flooded and goods
and other property destroyed or washed
away. Take it all in all these people
have had a trying year.
It is aremarkaole coincidence that
both David Davis and Chester Arthur
are widowers. Eaft
It would be still more remarkable if
they were widows.
The Republicans call their party in

Wash. Cor. Baltimore Sun.'.
- An old gentleman from' an Interior7
town of the State of Ohio made his- ap
pearance at the Treasury Department
to-day with $17,000 in bonds, ; which lie
had purchased in 1801, and whiqh vrere
called in July lastX He took-a position
in the principal room of the redemption
bureau, and delivered in a loud tone of
voice, and with much emphasis of ges
ticulation, a severe lecture upon the
impropriety and immorality of the pro
noaitions which have been made from
time to time to pay off the public debt,

had all come to naueht, and that there

gold, or its equivalent, but he insisted"
upon finishing bis discourse, and said
the crovernment had promised to pay
gold. He had paid gold for his bonda
and wanted goia, ana no-equiYaieiiu
about it. It was represented to him
that a draft on the United States Treas
ury was as good as gold anywhere, and"
the gold could be obtained for at; that
if he preferred it the gold coin would
be paid him, but that as $17,000 in gold
would weigh about sixty pounds he
would find it somewhat troublesome to
nnrrv it. all thA wftv nnfc to. Ohio. This
staeeered him a little, but he said if
was the principle of the thing he was I
contending for, and he must have his
gold, and he would take it home him
self, as he would not pay the swindling
charges imposed by: the express com
panies. He then went across the corri
dor to the office of the Secretary of the
Treasury to impress some wholesome
views upon that official, but after wait
ing two or three hours, for an audience
ne became disgusted and went on, witn
the remark that he would come back
to-morrow and wanted hU gold to be
ready for him. , ... ,
Damage by- Western Fleodv.
Qtjtnct, III!, Oct. 20th Despatches
from New Canton and Rackport, an
nounce a disastrous break in the leve.es
2 miles above Scott's Landing. Water
is pouring through the. crevasse in tor--,
rants and a vast area of nighty cultivaV
ted land is being rapidly inundated.
Runners were sent out to warn the pee-
pie, and farmers are using superhuman
ciiuita w aarcr ovurjtv axiu. uuuoduuiu w
fects. The disaster occurring at this 1
time isTnucn greater tnan ew Derore,
as averv large area of winter" wheat
has been sowed. Corn and other crops
have not been secured and the bottoms
are full of cattle, horses and other live
stock. Both levees are expected to
break if the rise continues 24 hours lon
ger. The water is several inches high
er than at the spring rise. At Hanni
bal the water is across the railroad
track and up to tbe door of the Nation
al hotel, The Keokuk and St Louis
railroad track is under water from
Keokuk to Hannibal, and the rails at
several points below Hannibal and St.
Louis will have to he abandoned to
morrow. North of Quincy, several
farms are overflowed by back water
from Quincy, and farmers are gather
ing their corn in skiffs.
At Burlington, Iowa, the river con
tinued to rise yesterday morning but
became stationary about midday, and
began falling, about 2 p. m. It fell
about 2 inches, and is now about 13 in
ches below the high water of June last
year. No serious damage has been
done here.

NEUBALGIA,
Nervous Irritability, Sciatica and all painful nerv
ous diseases. A treatise by a well known physi
cian, a specialist on these subjects, concludes as
follows r "Neuralgia Is one of the most painful of
diseases, and Is attended with more or less nerv
ous Irritation. Sciatica Is also a form of neural
gia, aud all painful nervous diseases come under
that name. Neuralgia means nerve ache, and
therefore you can suffer with neuralgia in any part
of the body, as the nerves are supplied to every
part.
"I have for many years closely studied the cause
of neuralgia, and the nature of the nervous sys
tem, with the many diseases that it Is subject to,
ana nave louna Dy actual experience that the true
and primary cause of neuralgia Is poverty of the
nervous fluid it becomes impoverished and poor,
and in some cases starved, not because the pa
tient does not eat, but because what is eaten Is
not appropriated to the nervous system. There
are many causes for this, but Dr. C. W. Benson's
ueiery ana unamomue- nils have In my hands
S roved a perfect remedy for this condition and
iese diseases"
