| i I i of Jay Gonld There is now going on in America a development of the power of an indi vidual capitalist which is well worth attention as a feature in modern soci ety. The tendency of capitalist in that country to roll up with extraord nary rapidity has often been notice and nowhere else in the world could the colossal fortunes of Astor, Vanderbilt or A. T. Stewart have heen accumu lated within the lifetime of one man But the operations of Jay Gould of far gre extent than those of any previous talist, and the moveme portion of general evolution that we on this side of the Atlantic may notc his course with profit to ourselves.

Some day, doubtless, a calin inguirer will set forth the philoso corner in full, and when he does so Mr. Jay Gould will assuredly figure as the founder of a school. Never, perhaps, was a_bolder game played in its way than that of this vory Erio triumvirate in rigging the gold mar ket. The story is old, but its moral is ever applicablo. At the time when their operations began gold and green- backs stood in a definite relation to one another; they fluctuated more or r loss, of course, as that or this buyer | came into the market; but nothing very serious occurred since the great wnflation of the civil war. Suddenly the happy idea came into the heads of those worthies, or rather into the head of one of them, to purchase all the gold in sight and lock it up; those who were obliged to buy gold for business purposes were compelled by their necessities to buy at_the figure demanded by the ring. The matter began to got serious, Gold went up | and up like a tube of mercury in hoil ing water; there is no saying where it | would end. New York, excitable at| all times, went noarly out of its senses A mob at length collected in front of the office of the threo manipulators, and affairs looked rather ugly for the triumvirate. To borrow a phrase from Mr. Jevon's mathematico-metaphysi- cal language of economy, the ultimate ditterentiations of final utility figuved in the shape of a lamp-postand a rope. This, it has always been said, did not | suit Mr. Jay Gould. The introduction of brute force formed no part of his calculations, and in American parlance he “left,” without even stopping to open the glass door which afforded the only way to the rear. His boldor allies stood it out, the United States treasurer sold gold, and the corner camefjto an end. 1t is unnecessary tofollow Mr. Gould | through 1 us phases of stock | jobbing ai “Corners” are de- void of whether in gold, interest, wheat, pork, or anything clse, save as showing the power which, under our present system of production and ex- change, may be ripped by an unscru- pulous man or a knot of ‘men working to the same end. But it was only as a gambler in stocks that Mr. Jay Gould was known, and it was pre- sumed that his lack of physical courage and the loss of ong or two of his asso- ciates would cripple him for larger schemes, Precisely tho contrary has occurred, and from the long period of depression between 1873 and 1880, this strange financial geniuy has emerg- ed as beyond all comparison the ablest handler of capital in the United States. That he is acting in accord- ance with the tendency of events does not of course detract from his ability; but the result is remarkable,and would be dangerous but for the fact that the same power that broke up the gold ring can step in to lay its hand upon the ablest combination for the benefit of the few and turn it to the advan- tage of the many. His mode of ope- ration is *:cculinr, and, according to trustworthy evidence, his own immo- diate associates after a long discussion, in which he himself had taken little or no part, are often unaware of the course which will be ultimately adopt- ed. Themere money part of the bus- iness soems to have no special charms for the chief organizer; he buys a state | logislaturc as he buys newspapers or railways, asa portion of a general scheme of consolidation whichextends beyond what perhaps ho himself fore. sees, As a result of a series of extra. ordinarily successful operations, Mr, Jay Gould has acquired a prestige something similar to that which Prince Bismarck has or had in European pol- itics. - Any successful coup is ulh‘i':ul» ed to hisskillful proceedings. But men are only just beginning to perceive the outcome of his manoeuvers. There are others moving in the same_direction, but at this moment Mr. Jay Gould is master of the main line of communication between the Atlantic and Pacific slopes, is laying his plans, according to all accounts, for combination with the other roads be- ing pushed through in United States territory, has a monopoly of the tele- graphic’ communications, proposes to connect them with submarine cables in the same interest, while the project of aline of purely froight steamers|I carrying in connection with his afliliated roads from the west is also attributed to him. Now, clearly, even assuming that some of these plans break down for the time, only a gen- eral tendency in favor of \-mn{nnnlum a8 against competition could enable one man or any number of men to ob- tain such power as this. Permit it to be used without regulation —say the anti-monopolisis of the states—and an amperium in imperio will follow such as the world has never yetseen, Cor }mrulfoun are alceady a hindrauce to reedom of development, and a cause of all sorts of corruption in the United States; but the power to keep back telu‘imphic messages held by the groat stock exchange operator who controls an ever-increasing mileage of railroad ma; 1l occasion an alarm which finds expression in the saying that not the least troublesome business of American statesmen in years to come will be to assert the rights of the peo- le at large against ‘‘Napoleous of nance.” Diamonds From Saun Francisco.

Alas!” oxclaim- ed Mr. Welch, “there are no Leaming- tons now. But I have got Alarm, that 1 think is a fine si Leam- ington is dead. oster, the b Charter F sporting editor, was with the brothers Lorillard, and T said to him: ““Tell Goorge Lorillard to buy that thin brown colt, as he is the best in the whole lot. Foster wasnot quick enough about it, and I said to Pierre Lorillard soon after: I will give you $3,000 for Troquois.’” Ho said he would keep him. “How did yon get Maggie B. B., Mr. Welch?” “1 paid 81,800 for her to Littell, a sporting man, who bought her from the grandson of Henry C He raised her and named her for Maggio B. Beck, the daughter of Senator Beck, of Kentucky, who was a beau- tiful girl and in love with young Clay, as he with her. But as he was a Lit- tle too convivial, and her parents per- d her to marry the nephew of o@fin, tho Washington banker, and she died while a bride. Maggie ran in several races, and before she was run down I got her and bred her to Leamington. Leamington won sever- al races and been broken down on the turf. I forget, now,” said Mr. Welch, with an evasive look, “just what I gave for Leamington, but I want to tell you a point well to be made in this race. The English will be claiming that Troquois is of full English stock, whereas the sire of Iroquois’ dam was Boston, an American horse forty years ago. Boston was the greatest racer of his time, and won a_ $20,000 purse from Fashion, the other great racer. Like oursclves, the cross was bet America and English racing sto ““Well, Mr. Welch,did you send out to Kentu nd get blue grass to feed Troquois AT plenty of blue grass in Pennsylvania, and the same lime- stone. 1 fed him on good oats and chopped tood, and let him get water and grass on my farm, Limestono is necessary to make a racer. England is nearly all lim chalk. You re- quire high, bracing, yet temperate cli- mate and elovation to made good stock, For years I bred trotting stock, and had Lady Thorne, the greatest trotter of her day, which brought $20,- 000, Harold, tho fine youny racer, was of Maggie B. B., by f,um..m:r..n, too. Thg price on my place for Leamington to mares was 8350 apicce, A hundred guineas is often obtained in England.” “*Are you surprised at the result of the race, Mr. Welch?" “Woll, I did not expect Troquois to win it because of his trainer. Loril- lard got a drunken Englishman named Brown to train his animals, and he has been drunk for a year in the sta bles. Recently Lorillard has had Pur- year, of South, Carolina, an American, to train for him, and there has been an improvement. Lovillard himself, have understood, only backed Iro: quois for place, although the botting against the horso o fow weeks ago was one hundred to one. Tdon't expoct the Americans will ever win the Derly again, “Why not?" *‘Because thisrace is an excoptional chance for us. You see we have to get boys to ride out of the gutter, so to speak, Over there a jockey like Archer, who rode Troquois, goes to the track in his own coupe. Lorillard got this Archer te ride for him, and hav- ing the best horse and the best rider, too, had the two coincidences of a century. Archer roceives a retainer from one man of $10,000 a year, for the Frml.-;,u- of calling on him if de sired. Another man pays him 85,000 for the second call. Affer that he is paid §1,000 to 1,600 for a mount in addition to the retainers. He only fell to Lorillard this year by not being called upon. Iroquois was beaten a little while ago by the same horse, Perogrine, which he beat to-day, be- cause his rider started him off Awme, can fashion, full speed at the begin- ning, and he couldn't keep the pace up to the end.
