ITS CREED.

Text of tho Platform Adopted by the Anti-Trust Convention.

SOT RADICAL ENOUGH TO SUIT THEM.

Donnelly and Weaver Organizo the Ool. ters and Declare In Favor oi Extreme Measures—Doings of tho Reciprocity Convention.

WILL WAK AGAINST TRUSTS. CHICAGO, June 7.—At tho morning session of the Anti-Trust convention, further time was granted the committee on resolutions in which to present its report. A stirring speech against combines and trusts was made by (Jen. J. It. Weaver, of Iowa.

Shortly before 13 o'clock the committee reported along series of resolutions, which in effect demanded a better execution of existing laws against trusts and all combinations of capital and the enactment of more stringent laws upon the same subject. That part of it containing the action against trusts recommended by the committee was, in part, as follows: "That It Is the sense of this convention that the state und federal legislatures should enact new unci more stringent laws and uinend old ones looking to .the complete extinction of unlawful combinations destroying competition in productions or exchange. "That the faithful and efficient execution of tho laws bo Imperatively enjoined upon tho executive ofllcers of the state and nation, and that the failure of any officer to perform his duty In this behalf should bo attended by the severest legal penalties that we demand that the attorney general of tho United States proceed to enforce tho laws of the United States now on the statute books against trusts and Illegal combinations, and we demand that congress shall onact such additional laws against trusts and combinations that control production Lttdprice.s of commodities as may bo found necessary for their suppression.

I'inancial Straits Due to Trusts. "That the over-capitalization of corporate property is chiefly responsible for tuo breaking down of credits and the financial distress that prevails in this country. Wo therefore recommend stringent national and state legislation and supervision to limit tho bonding of corporate property and tho issues of slocks representing same to actual values and HO Increase of bonds or stocks by existing corporations, whether public or private, shall be legal unless the same shall have beon authorized by the national and state authorities. "That it is heroby recommendca that each member of this convention use every honorable means fn his power to secure the election to otllce, whether local, stale or federal, of those only who are exponents of anti-trust sentiment, aud in whose fearless determination to use their utmost endeavor to crush and exterminate all trusts und monopolies complete confidence can be had. "That this convention create a pormanent association, to be known as the Anti-Trust association of the United Slates, consisting of three representatives from each state und territory, and that we recommend tho organization of an anti-lrust association In each stale and territory for tho purpose of aldlug in securing uniform legislation and tho rigid execution of laws for the most speedy suppression and final eradication of such trusts and combinations. "That two standing committees shall be appointed to act as executive branches of said national association as soon ns the same is organized, that each of said committees shall be composed of one representative from each stale and territory. The llrst of said committee to bo, known as the national committee on anti-trust legislation, and which shall have in charge the matter of federal legislation, and the second of said committees to be known as the committee on antitrust law .enforcement, which shall have In charge the duty of securing the prompt and elllcleut executions of all anti-trust and monopoly laws."

Toward the close of the meeting a resolution in favor of free silver was proposed by a Mr. Quinn, of Montana, and it was adopted amid enthusiastic applause.

This platform was adopted at the afternoon session after a lengthy wrangle during which Ignatius Donnelly and Gen. Weaver endeavored to*commit the convention to extreme measures in the agitation against trusts and combines.

The convention refused to adopt Mr. Donnelly's resolution calling for the purchase by the federal government of the anthracite coal lields of LVnnsyl vania. The delegates scouted his second resolution, which declared that, as a last resort, members of trusts should be outlawed and their property escheated to the nation.

The convention adjourned sine die after conferring authority On Gov. Xelson to call the committees together for action as soon as lie deems it advisable.

Kolters Meet.

Gen. J. B. Weaver, of Iowa, and Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota, marshaled the bolting faction of the antitrust congress into a parlor of the Palmer house Tuesday night for the purpose of holding a council of war and mapping out a campaign against their enemy, the monopolists. About forty delegates, representing ten states, were present. Gen. Weaver presided and Dr. S. McLallin, the editor of an antimonopoly newspaper in Kansas, was secretary. Seven long resolutions were adopted. These declared in substance that the United States government should confiscate all the anthracite coal lields of the country the bituminous coal lields should be seized the railroad should be taken possession of by the national authorities the monopolists should be compelled to restore to the people the freedom of their labor a return to bimetallism, and the free coinage of both gold and silver should be made that means should be provided for the sale by flie government of coal to the people at the actual cost of production, and that congress be urged to seize the property of all trusts and combinations.

A permanent committee of five was appointed, of which Mr. Donnelly was made chairman. It was named the national anti-trust committee, and will formulate a plan of organization to carry out the views expressed in the resolutions.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

CRAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY JUNE 7.1893

M. Springer, of Illinois, chairman of the ways and means committee of the national house of representatives, was introduced and expressed himself in favor of reciprocity with all the states on the American continent. Mr. Springer was also the principal speaker at a mass-meeting held Tuesday night.

At the afternoon session addresses were made by President James J. liill, of the Great Northern railroad Dr. Orton, former member of the Canadian parliament J. A. Ilayne, of Minneapolis Mr. Hall, of Brandon Man., and S. A. Thompson, of Duluth. Tho resolutions, read by E. V. Smalley, chairman of the committee, wcro adopted unanimously. They are practically as follows:

Platform of the Convention. "In the opinion of this convention the policy unanimously approved by the first internalional reciprocity convention at Grand Forks, and now reaffirmed, of removing the tarifT and restrictions upon our international trade so fay as can be done consistently with a duo regard to tho revenue requirements and other interests of tho two nations, may bo most advantageously carried Into effect by a treaty providing for the free interchange of those classes of the produots, both natural and industrial, of each one that are the most generally in demand or usually find the readiest sale In the markets of tho other. Such a poltoy in the circumstances of the United States and Canada is capable of being applied to many classes of Industrial products as well us to natural products generally. It would result in giving to Canada a market now denied It for many classes of industrial products as well as to natural products gcnerallly. It would result In giving to Canada a market now denied It for much of its produce, with compensating advantages to the United States, and that without affeoling a large part of tholr respective customs revenues "The cheapest possible transportation is a matter of prime Importance to the interest of the whole northwest, Canadian as well as American, and we favor the Improvement of existing waterways and the construction of additional channels of communication between the great lakes and the ocean of sufficient capacity to allow a free passage of ooean vessels and whicb should be free of all tolls. "Any reciprocity treaty between the United States and Canada should provide for the free and common use by the peoplo of both countries of all canals now built or hereafter to be built, to facilitate commercc between tho great lakes and the ocean, and should also provide for free and open oompotition between the railway systems of tho two countries in order to reduce the cost of transportation from tho Interior to the seaboard to the lowest figures consistent with the efficiency and reasonable prosperity of t-he roads. "In order to secure the desired results sought to be obtained by this convention a Joint committee shall be appointed by the permanent chairman of tho convention, consisting of ten members, live of them lo be selected from the dominion of Canada and live of them from the United States. It shall be.the duty of this committee to lake charge and prosecute this work after adjournment of this convention by using such means as they may deem proper to bring the matter before tho Dominion parliament aud the Canadian authorities and before tho congress of the United States and the American authorities and before the people of ihe two countries."

NEW TREATY WITH RUSSIA.

Deflnrs Various Oflenaes for Which Either Government Shall Grant Extradition Papers.

BTOOD A SKVKKK TKST.

CHICAGO, June 7.—The runs at the various savings banks started in Tuesday morning about whore they left oif Monday. Before the day was over, however, there was a decided progress toward returning* confidence. The crowds of depositors about the savings bank windows grew smaller and at some places disappeared altogether. The Hank of Commerce completely triumphed over the fears of its depositors and when tlie bank closed at the regular hour there was not a waiting depositor and every demand had been mot fully and promptly.

Much Knslpr Feeling Prevail*.

At the Illinois trust aud savings bank 'there seemed to be an easier feeling generally. The crowd of waiting depositors was smaller than the day before, and no impatience wav manifested. The officials of the bank were unruffled and p. feeling of genuine confidence prevailed.

The Hlbernlau Hank.

At the Hibernian bank, where there are 6.000 depositors, about 500 people were in line by 10 o'clock. The management of the bank was prepared for the run. "We are in first-class shape to withstand any run that may be made upon us," said President Charles F. Clarke. "Our resources are ample and we can weather any storm. Our liabilities to savings depositors are about $2,700,000. In addition to the resources of the bank the estate of J. V. Clarke, which is worth $2,000,000, is back of this institution every dollar of it."

At Other Hanks.

At the Union trust and savings bank the time notice was posted and the depositors, of whom there were hundreds in line anxious to check out their savings deposits, found themselves only able to get 10,per cent, of the amount. This caused considerable grumbling, but it was the bank's legal right to enforce the lime rule and it availed itself of the privilege.

Only a small crowd gathered sit the Globe savings in the Monadnock. This concern has about 3,000 depositors, and its savings deposits aggregated $381,000 June 3. Its demand deposits were $307,000. The bank has a capital of *200,000 and secured loans to theextentof $013,000. The Globe wtis prompt to avail itself of the time rule.

Mlg Money Druwn Monday.

Probably 2,000 people drew their money out of the savings banks Monday, the amount approximating*750,000, the Illinois trust alone letting go about $500,000. On every $i,000 drawn down the bank saves $17 in interest which, in the ordinary course of business, would be credited to the deposits at the end of the half year, June 30. The strictly savings deposits in the several savings banks of the city will approximate £18,000,000. on which interest to the amount of about #300,000 would mature June 30 if the money were left undisturbed until then. By withdrawing the cash before the end of June the interest is forfeited and a very considerable percentage of the 55,000 small depositors seem bent upon depriving themselves of this snug dividend.

Due to a Strike.

The Grant Locomotive, works made an assignment in the county court Tuesday afternoon in favor of A. K. Ackerman and J. II. Wilson. The concern was one of the largest manufacturing enterprises in the west, and its failure was not in the least anticipated. Its creditors are confined to the usual trade people, and the amount of indebtedness to any one particular company is not large. The liabilities of the company in total are ?410.!)50. 0, 5200,000 of which is a mortgage in favor of the trustees, aud this has precedence over tho remainder of tho claims. The assets are announced to be $1, 131,404. Attorney Lyman, who represents the assiguees, said in regard to the failure "The cause for the failure may undoubtedly be attributed to the strike which has been in progress at the works for nearly four months past. At the present time there, are twenty-five locomotives in the shop waiting to be completed which can be readily turned into cash as soon as they are finished. These represent in money about $300,000."

Didn't Indict Dwiggin*.

K'OKOMO, Ind., Juno 7.—The grand jury in the case of the wrecked l'strisDwiggins bank at Greentown finished its work Tuesday and reported in the evening. Indictments were found against ex-Gov. Ira J. Chase, John W. Paris, directors, and Lewis S. Walden, cashier. The ex-governor is hell on three counts—embezzlement direct and indirect, and false prc'tense. Paris was caught on five counts—embezzlement, direct and indirect for being accessory before the fact of the cashier's acts and for false- pretense made through Chase, a paid agent. Walden is held on two counts—receiving money, knowing the bank to bo insolvent, and for false representation. A mighty effort was made to catch Dwiggins, but to no purpose. Paris and Walden are here and the warrants, already drawn for their arrest, will be served at once. A warrant was also issued for ex-Gov. Chase, who is now in West Virginia delivering a course of lectures.

Collapse at Deflancc, O.

DEFIANCE, O., June 7.—The Defiance savings bank of Andrew Sauer has failed, with a paid-up capital stock of but $37,500. Its assets will amount to not less than 1150,000, with liabilities not to exceed $100,000. Tho failure is attributed to the great amount of loans made by the bank, which aggregate $187,000, thus bringing the working capital of the bank down to

rery close figures. Together with the failure of the savings bank. Andrew Sauer turned over his property entire, both personal ntid real, amounting to fully $100,000. The property included in Mr. Sauer's assignment includes the Defiance Electric street raitway, the electric light plant, gas plant, the Citizens' opera house, valued at $50,0U0, the beautiful Sauer residence and considerable real estate located in different parts of the city and county. The blow to this city, is a bad one, as Mr. Sauer is to this city what Charles B'oster was to Fostoria, a man ready to assist any enterprise for the advancement of the city's welfare.

Wisconsin Banks In Trouble.

MANITOWOC, Wis., June 7.—The State Bank of Manitowoc has suspended. There has been a continued ran on the institution for the last thfee weeks and the officers have made a fight against the failure which, by developments Monday, was made inevitable. C. C. Barnes, the president, it is understood, has turned over all his personal property to cover any possible loss by depositors.

Two RIYEUS, Wis., June 7.—The Bank of Two Rivers has failed. A statement from the officials a.s to the cause und condition of the bank cannot be had, as the cashier and personal owner, David Becker, is not in the city. "MADISON, Wis., June 7.—A run was begun on the First national bank of this city. The anxious ones are mostly small depositors. The cause for this uneasiness is due to the reports from Mil waukee and Chicago and a general lack of confidence. The state lias #100,000 deposited in this bank.

To Investigate Failures.

MILWAUKEE, June 7.—The grand jury called Monday was instructed by Judge Wallber, of the municipal court, to investigate the Lappan failure and lite Plankinton bank failure. The judge's instructions were very explicit and indicated that he thought Lappan's case should be closely investigated. His reference to the bank failure was more general in its character.
