THE AMERICAN ALEXANDER
What the London Pull Mnll Thinlu
or Jny Gonlil
Tlicro is now goiw on in America n
development of the power of ixu indi
vidual cftpitnlist which is well wortl
attention ns a feature in modern soci
oty. The tendency of c.ipitalist it
that counlry to roll up with e.xtraordi
narjrnpidity lias often been noticed
and nowhcro else in the world could the
colossal fortunes of Astor , Vanderbilt
or A. T. Stewart hnvo been accninu
latcd within the lifetime of ono man
But the operations of Jay Gould arc
of ar graiter extent than those of an ;
previous capitalist , and the movemen
of which ho is the head is so clearly n
portion of n general evolution that we
on this side of the Atlantic may note
his course with profit to ourselves
Mr. Jay Gould is chiolly known here
as one of the famous Erie triumvirate
FtsTc and Lane being the other two--
who carried on n Buccessful war in
aharcs by the aid of a printing press
kept in full work on their premises.
Drew and Vnnderbilt found to their
cost that it was impossible to "corner1
or control a stock when all the scrib
bling paper in New York could bo
brought into the market against them.
Some day , doubtless , a calm iiujuirci
will sot forth the philosophy of the
corner in full , and when ho docs 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 very Erie
triumvirate in rigging the gold mar
ket. The story is old , buUts moral
ia over applicable. At the time when
their opor.itions began gold and green
backs stood in a definite relation to
one another ; they lluctuated more or
loss , of course , as that or this buyer
came into the market ; but nothing
very serious occurred since the great
inflation of the civil war. Suddenly
the happy idea came Into the hcaela of
i ! tlioso wortlrcs , or rather into the
head of ono of them , to purchase all
the gold in sight and lock it up ; those
who wore obliged to buy gold for
business purposes wore compelled by
their necessities to buy at the figure
demanded by the ring. The matter
began to got serious. Gold wont up
and up like a lube of mercury in boil
ing water ; there is no saying where it
would end. New York , excitable at
all times , wont nearly out of its souses
A mob at length collected in front of
the oflico of the three manipulatora ,
aiid affairs looked rather ugly for the
triumvirate. To borrow a phrase from
Mr. Jovon's mathemixtico-metaphysi-
cal language of economy , the ultimate
differentiations of final utility figured
in the shape of a lamp-post and a rope.
This , it has always boon said , did not
suit Mr. Jay Gould. The introduction
of brute force formed no part of his
Calculations , and in American parlance
ho "left , " without oven atoppim ; to
open the glass door which afforded the
only way to the roar. His bolder
allies stood it out , the United States
treasurer sold gold , and the corner
canu to an end.
It is unnecessary to follow Mr. Gould
through his various phases of stock
jobbing after this. "Corners" are devoid -
void of interest , whether in gold ,
wheat , pork , or anything else , save as
showing the power which , under our
present system of production and ex
change , may bo ripped by an unscru
pulous man or a knot of men working
to the same end. But it wan 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 one or two of his asso
ciates would criijlo him f6r larger
schemes. Precisely the contrary lias
occurred , and from the long period of
depression between 1873 and 1880 ,
thia strange financial gcniuu has emerg
ed aa beyond all comparison the ablest
handler of capital in the United
States. That ho is acting iu accord
ance with the tendency of events does
not of course detract from his ability ;
but the result is remarkableand would
bo dangerous but for the fact that the
same power that broke up the gold
ring can stop in to lay its hand upon
the ablest combination for the benefit
of the few and turn it to the advan-
'tagp of the many. His mo'lo of ope
ration is peculiar , and , according to
trustworthy evidence , his own imme
diate associates after a long discussion ,
in which ho himself had taken little erne
no part , are often unaware of the
course which will bo ultimately adopt
ed. The more money part of the bus
iness seems to have no special clmnw
for the chief organizer ; ho buys a iitati
legislature as he buys newspapers o
railways , as a portion of n genera
scheme of consolidation whichoxtend
beyond what perhaps he himself fore
.BOOS. As a result of a series of extra
ordinarily successful operations , Mr
. Jay Gould has acquired a prestigt
something similar to tlmtwhich Princ
Bismarck has or hud in European nol
itics. Any successful coup is altribut
ed to his skillful proceedings , liutmoi
.are only just beginning to perceive tin
, > outcome of his manocuvera.
i There are othoro moving in tli
same direction , but at this momon
Mr. Jay Gould is maitor of the mail
line of communication between tin
' . Atlantic und Pacific ( dopes , is layiu
his plans , according to all accounts , fo
' combination with the other roads being
ing pushed through in United State
territory , has a monopoly of the tele
graphic communications , proposes t
connect them with submarine cable
in the same interest , while the projec
of a line of purely freight steamer
carrying in connection with hi
. affiliated roads from the west is als
attributed to him. Now , clearly , eve
assuming that soinu of these plan
break down for the tiino , only a general
oral tendency in favor of combinatio
as against competition could onabl
ono man or any number of men to oi
. tain such power as this. Permit it t
bo used without regulation nay th
, anti-monopolists of the states and a
.imjxn'tun in imperiu will follow sue
oa the world has never yet scon. Coi
poratfons are aheadya hindrance t
freedom of development , and a caus
of all sorts of corruption in the Unite
Btatesj but the power to keep bac
telegraphic messages hold by thu grea
stock exchange operator who control
an over-increasing mileage of railroa
may well occasion an alarm wliic
finds expression in the saying that no
the least troublesome business a
American statesmen in years to com
will bo to assert the rights of the poei
I > lo at largo against "Napoleons o
finance. "

toll you that a curious state of thingi
exists just now in their business ,
They have for some time been _ CX'
porting diamonds and other prcciouf
! tonc < . The collapse of the stock
markets has brought a number of once
flourishing people into comparative
poverty. Brokers wcio always lavish
customers of the jewelers. Of late
they have been selling jewels in quan
tities , In the Hush limes of the
bonanza mines there M ere more diamonds
mends and costly jewelry sold in Ssn
Francisco than in 'any other city in
the world of its jiopulntion and these
wares therefore naturally poured in
there from all parts of the world.
Now. however , they are finding their
way back to the jewelers , who in some
cases buy them outright , making
handsome profits theieby. and in olhei
cases Bentl them abroad for Bale on

FLEET-FOOTED iROQUOIS ,
A Chat With the Man Who Rnioi1
the Dor/by Winner.
iith'i Mill. .Stcl | l to Clnclnnttl Enquirer.
Being in Philadelphia by family
loccsslty this week , I wasn't much in-
.crested in any news till Charley
Mann , a well-known sporting gentle-
nan , said to me on Chestnut street ;
"Well , our horse has won it. There
mtst bo a big time in Now York to
day. "
I thought ho meant Conkling had
von the senate.
"Conklingelected ! " I exclaimed.
"I don't know anything about
Jonkling , " ho replied "but Jroquois ,
.ho American horse , has won the En
glish Derby , and if you will turn the
: ornor I will introduce you to thu man
vho raised him. "
He introduced mo to a tall , gray-
mired cropped big red-faced -
, , , easy-
alkiug old nmn , Mr. Aristidos Welch ,
if Chestnut Hill , near Philadelphia.
Ir. Welch reminded mo somewhat of
iimon Cameron by his easy affability ,
eve of political gossip , hospitability
nd fondness of communication. Ho
s probably ( ! 7 years old , and was born
i the Cumberland valley of Ponnsyl-
ania , at Shipponshurg , near the birth-
)1aco of James Buchanan , and was , I
) cliovo , n paymaster in the army a
liile. Ho has boon a sporting man ,
nd is a raiser of fancy stock , and has
largo acquaintance with public men.
"Mr. Welch , " said I , "how much
id you got for Iroquois ? "
"Isold him with all my yearlings ,
bout twenty in number , two years
go to ( lie Lorillard Brothers , they
laying about § l,000upioco. It was the
ast crop oat of my great breeding
tallion Leamington. Alas ! " oxclaim-
dMr. Welch , "there are no Ltaming-
ons now. But 1 have got Alarm ,
mt 1 think is a line sire , too. Leam-
ngton in dead. Charter Foster , the
porting editor , was with the brothers
orillard , and I said to him : "Toll
George Lorillard to buy that thin
irown colt , as ho is thu best in the
hole lot. Foster was not quick enough
jout it , and I said to Pierre Lorillard
eon after : 'I will give you § 'J,000 for
roquois. " lie said ho would keep
im. "
"J low did you got Maggie B. B. ,
Ir. Welch ? "
"J paid ? 1,800 for her to Littell , alerting
lorting man , who bought her from
ip grandson of Henry Clay. He
iiiscd her and named her for Maggie
t. Beck , the daughter of Senator
lock , of Kentucky , who wan a beau-
iful girl and in love with young Clay ,
a ho with hor. But as no was a ht-
lo too convivial , and her parents por-
Huadiid her to marry the nephew of
Coi-c Ian , the Waflnington'hankcr , and
ho dfod while a bride. Maggie ran
n Hovoral races , and before she was
un down I got her and bred her to
jeamington. Leamington won sever-
ill races and been broken down on the
turf. I forgot , now , " said Mr. Welch ,
with an evasive look , "just what I
, 'avo for Leamington , but I want to
ell you a point well to bo made in this
aco. The English will bo claiming
hat Troquois iu of full English stock ,
vhorcas the sire of Iroquoin' dam was
'ioston , an American horse forty years
. ( o. Boston was the greatest racer of
us tiino , and won a § 20,000 puree
'rpm Fashion , the other great racor.
Liiko ourselves , the cross was betwnon
America and English racing stock. "
"Well , Mr. Welchdid you send out
to Kentucky and get blue grass to feed
Iroquois on' ( "
"No ; wo have plenty of blue grasi
in Pennsylvania , and the same lime
Btono. L fed him on good oats am
chopped lood , and lot him got watui
and grass on my farm , Limestone ii
necessary to make a racer. Englani
is nearly all lime or chalk. You re
quire high , bracing , yet temperate cli
mate and elevation to made gooc
stock. For yeara J bred trottingntock
and had Lady Theme , the greates
trotter of her day , which brought § 20 ,
000. Harold , the line young racer
was of Maggie J ! . B , , by Leamington
too. The ; puce on my place forsorvinj
Leamington to marcs was § ; 150 apiece
A hundred guineas is often obtained ii
Em-land. "
lfAro you surprised at the result o
the race , Bin Welch1' ? '
" , 1 did not expect Iroquois t <
win it because of his trainer. Loril
lard got a drunken Englishman namoi
Brown to train his animals , and In
has been drunk for a year in thu stii
bloa. Recently Ijorillurd has had Put
year , of South. Carolina , an American
to train for him , and there has beei
an improvement. Lorillard himself
I have understood , only backed Ire
quoisfora place , although the bottini
against the hon > o a few weeks ago wai
one hundred to ono. I don't expoc
the Americans will over win thoDorh
again. "
"Why not ? "
"Because this race is an oxcoptiona
chance for us. You BOO wo have to go
boys to ride out of the gutter , so ti
speak. Over there a jockey lik <
Archer , who rode Iroquois , goea to th
track in his own coupe. Lorillard go
this Archer to ride for him , and hav
ing the best homo and the best rider
too , had the two coincidences of
century. Archer receives a rotaino
from one man of 810,000 a year , fo
the privilege of calling on him if du
sired. Another man pays him § 5,00
for the second call. After that ho i
paid 81,000 to 81,500 for a mount ii
addition to the retainers. He enl
fell to Lorillard this year by not boin'
called upon , Iroqtiois was beaten
little while ago by the same horse
Peregrine , which ho beat to-day , because
cause his rider started him oil' American
can fashion , full speed at thu begin
ning , and he couldn't keep the pace ute
to the end. They start very nuiotl
in England , and do all the tall rur
ning in the last third or half a mile.
Peregrine at Newmarket beat Iroquoif
n neck only. This time Archer rode
Iroquois , and beat Peregrine by hall
a length. What I mean to say is thai
wo will pay no such prices for accom
plished riders. Those superior Eng
lish jockeys are smart. This boy/
Archer was the very ono who euchred
Parole of his victoiy a year ago by
erecting the point on which Parole
was ruled out. '
A Terrible Conflict.

" Streak o' lightnin'n aaid to be
xmty powerful , ain't il ? " asked agen-
: leman from Now Lots , as ho laid a
.lircc-ponnd radish on the managing-
editor's desk.
" It is a force against which it ia
tnposiiiblo to contend , " said the ed
itor.
" So I nllus s'poscd till t'other day , "
said the farmer. " But if you seen
what I saw Friday , you'd change your
mind. "
" Well , hurry up. What was it ? "
" Wo had a little shower out to'ardi
S'ew lAits , and 1 Been a streak o'
ightnin' bavin' a hard time for a few
iiinutes. Bight smart streak , too ,
nit it made a mintako in localities. "
" What was the matter with it ? "
" When I seen it fust it was foolin1
around playful like , but finally got an
jyo onto n mule o' mine , what was
irowsiii' , and it lit for him , I didn't
think the mule was noticin' , but ho
seemed to bo impressed moro'n I
mowed of. That streak hadn't moro'n '

Twas hard on the lightning' , editor.
! never soon more loose electricity to

"Mulo kick it ? " inquired the man-
ni' ' editor.
"Wunst. Just wtinst , and that was
ho most astonished streak o' lightnin'
over visited our township. But it was
; aino , editor. It was game lightnin' . "
"Come to him again ? "
"Well , I should onphasixo ! The
econd time it was mad clear throuirh ;
> ut the mule wan there. He'd nailed
lis flag to the polo , cut Iho halyards
nd knocked the cleats off. Ho let go ,
nd I guess I am geographically when
say that firo-ball went four hundred
ods without hittin' the ground. You
ught to sco that mule grin ! But ho
ladn't ' got through. "
"Isn t this story finished yet ? " asked
: ho exhausted editor.
"No sireo. What d'yo think that
ghtnin" done ? It just gave ono swish
f its tail , and up it wont. Thinks I ,
good-bye , lightnin' , as it went up ,
> utin less'n a minute back it como
vith four more streaks. Can't ' toll mo
ghtnin' ain't got no sense ! Four
lore streaks , editor , and the whole
vo o' 'em went for my mulo. Then ,
liinks I , 'good-bye , mule1" !
"Did they got the best of him ? "
I'Wait'll I toll yer. They took a leg
piece , and ono of 'em went for his
cad. "
"Thoy wore smart , " grinned the
ditor. "That fetched him ? "
"But ho busted three o' Vm fust. "
aid the fannervkli it aiyh. "Tin. <

"Been nursiti" them over since ,

"Took 'em right in and fixed "em

It is remarkable what aBtatomontof
