Suits Filed to Kill the Insurance Trust. Jefferson City, Mo. Sept. 6.—Two ofthe four suits which Attorney General Crow will bring against the Insurance companies forming the Insurance trusts and their agents were filed in the Supreme Court to- day. The institution of these suits was a practical! celebration of Labor day which will be applauded by thoee who toil. One of the suits brought today is against twenty six companies form- ing the Kansas City trust, and the other 1s against the American Cen- tral Insurance company and the Cit izens’ Insurance company, both of St. Louis, which ere organized un- der the laws cf this State. The American Central of St. Louis will be remembered as the eccmpany which deposed its St. Joseph agent J.J. Garth, because he would not become a member of the St. Joseph insurance combination. The Su preme court is asked to oust each of the companies from their privileges in the State. The two suits which yet remsiu to be brought are: Quo warranto pre ceedings against Manager Fetter and each of the agents forming the Kan- ing the trust, which is operative throughout the State of Missouri. In the tirst suit broaght there will be no dispute as to question of fact City has admitted to the Attorney Genera! and Insurance Commiesion- er that a combination exists in Kan ‘Sut the wages of labor are to remain the same. ————_—__—_, A number of leading Ohio repub- {icans are bitterly and openly fight- ‘ing the re-election of Mr. Hanna to the senate.

Now Bro./ Austin ought to give McKinley credit for all this and also for the fact that thereare seven pages of Trustee's sales inthe Kansas City ~Journal this week. sas City, and that he (Fetter) fixes the rate. The result hinges on the constitutionality of the law, which excepts ineurance companies doing business in Kansas City and St. Louis from the provisions of the anti-trust law. The conteution of the Attorney Ganeral is that this provision of thedaw is clearly un constitutional. The suit is brought in the court en banc for the October term. The wording of ths suit is volumiaous, as each of the twenty-seven compar- ies is separately diecussed. Bank Scandal Proves Fatal.

Their Relative Condition. Their Divergence of Vatue Due to Un. usual Demand for Wheat Abroad. St. Louis Repablic. Houston, Texas, Sept. gressman Joe W. Bailey has posi- tively announced that he will not be a candidate for United Sta‘es Sena | tor, but will conclude his term in congress. Further, he says: “Those who think the recent r's9 in the plice of wheat has refuted our argu | mesut fcr the free coinage of silver take a stranzely superticial view of the question. Webave never con- tended that the god standard ren ders all rise in the price of commod ities impossible; but our conteation is that it keeps the average price of all commodities below what it ought to be, and prevents the rises which do occur from going as high as they would under a system of bimeta!- lism. Tke fact that wheat is worth more now than it was last year only proves that a small crop wil! fetch better prices per bushel than a large crop—a proposition which no wise mao ever dcubted, and n> candid man evr denied So far from ig noring the law of supply and de mand, steadfastly recognized its operations but we have insisted that it applies to money as well as to commodities. Price simply expresgea the relation between money and property; and plainly, thet relation may be altered by a movement in money as well as by a movement ia property. “Our gold standard friends ought to investigate the question before they conclude that the recent rise in the price of wheat disproves our as- sertion that money has been appre- Ciating since 1873. The records are accassible to all, and these records show that the average price of wheat on the farms in the United States in 1873 was $125 per bushel, while the average farm price this year will not exceel 75 cents per bushel. “Ifthe value of money bad not changed the price of wheat would be greater now than it was 24 years ago, because the wheat crop of the world outside of the United States approaches nearer to a complete failure than it bas in 30 years. If the men who are now rejoicing in advanced price of wheat, more be- cause they think they see a political advantage in it than because of the benefit it brings to cur farmers, will look below the surface they will fied en overwhelming confirmation of our argument. We kave insisted throughout this entire debate that tke gold standard is vicious because it results ia a system of falliog pri ces, and we have asserted that there ean b3 no real acd general prosper ity in this country until the farmers realize fair prices for their products. “Ail the argument that we have ever mad3 could not kave proven our | assertions so conclusively as recent event3. 23 is due to an im prices, and this vindicates our posi sition because we bare stea tended that falling prices mad2 bad times and rsing prices made good times. The common sense of the people everywhere recognizes this economic truth today, and there is not a man anywhere who would be willing to put the price of wheat back where it was 12 months ago. “Under a just and wise system of bimetallism the farmers of this coun- try could every year realize better prices than they are doing in this exceptional year under tke gold standard; and I firmly believe that when the people see how much more prosperous a country is with good prices than it bas been with falling prices, an overwhelming majority of the American people will vote to establish a financial system which will protect cur agricultura’, com- mercia! aud iadustrial classes against the immeasurable injury and misery of constently fa'ling prices ~ 16 to I the Siogan.
