The Erlanger Syndicate.
The company of capitalists known
as the Erlanger syndicate are attract
ing great attention in this section at
present, in view of the fact that they
have recently leased the Cincinnati
SouTltem Railroad, a great 'thorough
fare which extends through the breadth
of our State.
The syndicate is composed of a
number of European capitalists, with
Mr. Erlanger, an immensely
gentleman, at their head. They own
and control a complete system of rail
ways in the South, and by the invest
ment of their capital and their energy
and enterprise they are dung-much to
build up the waste places of the South,
and to make the whole Southern coun
try blossom as a rose.
The history of the formation of the
Erlanger syndicate is not without a
tinge of romance. During the war
Mr. Slidell, of Louisiana, was a Con
federate Embassador to France, and
was accompanied to that country by
his beautiful and attractive daughter,
a young lady of rare graces and at
tainments, who reigned a belle in the
gay Parisian salons, and was sought
in marriage by numbers of titled and
aristocratic gentlemen. Her heart
was won, however, by Mr. Erlanger.
and they were married. After the war
she succeeded in enlisting his sympa
thies for the upbuilding of the stricken
and prostrate Southland he organized
a company for the purpose of invest
ing capital in developing the resources
of the Southern States. This syndi
cate has invested largely in railroads,,
and we are glad to learn that they are
making money largely ami rapidly.
It is thus, by singing the songs of her
Zion in a strange laud, that a noble
Soutlrern woman has eohtrihuted so
largely to the wealth, the prosperity
and upbuilding of her beloved native

The Price of Corn vs. Consumption.
An item fti yesterday's Tribune in
regard to the present*gTiit of grain in
the Chicago warehouses reads :
“There are over eleven million
bushels of grain in the Qhicago ware
houses, nearly seven Millions being
corn alone. The elevr&rs are prac
tically filled to their capacity.
There are no sales for shipment, ex
cept grain of the lowejitegrades. The
reason is that the cnoipnous prices at
which the standard g/#dcs are held
are too much for the shipper. Even
the low freights, whieft at present are
below anything whffeh the wildest
imagination could have foreseen, do
not oiler any inducemeuts to shippers
to buy the corn at the fancy prices put
upon it.”
The present price <ti corn in this
market, 74 cents per bushel, is about
72 per cent! above the average specie
price of former years; while oilier
cereals have advanced about 40iper
cent. The increase in the price of corn
is so markedly disproportionate, espe
cially at a time when corn occupies
fully storage capacity of out
elevators, as to the question,
“ Is it worth
This extraordinary advance is pro
fessedly based upon the belief that
the corn crop of the United States is
some 40 per cent, loss this year than
in 1880., Recent statements do not
verify this estimate ; aud, even if they
did, it i$ not evident that the circum
stances of the case woijd warrant such
an unprecedented upward movement
in quotations. It now appears prob
able that there is actually more corn
for sale than at the same date in any
previous j car, with much less demand
for it. The weather of last Winter
and Spring was not favorable to the
curing of corn in cr|ii,and that which
came forward early |n* the Summer
graded so low that not fill the
contracts for future delivery. This
induced the owners it back and
sell it on longer futures, while baying
back the contracts had made to
deliver it earlier. result was a
very slow forward movement of corn
during the Stumper, whioh led many
to believe that there was little corn to
be moved.
m Xfccftyt is, there is still
an an nimial ly 1 a*ge %panitty of corn
in or near first hands, and the high
prices are stimulating farmers to bring
out the aecumulationsof former years,
fn some parts of the Country, and no
tably in lowa, they MC pressing it for
sale so freely that the railroads can
' wot touch the corn i\orcd in cribs
Uunng last Winter, the current Ueliv-
cries from wagon fully taxing the fa
cilities for transportation. One can
not realize the extent of this pressure
without remembering that an advance
of 72 per cent, in Chicago means a
great deal more per cent, to the fann
er, because rail freights are no higher
than the}’ used to be. In former years
20 cents per bushel to the lowa far
mer has been a good price for corn.
Now he can obtain 55 cents, or an in
crease of 175 per cent. And “most
of him” is wise enough to see that
such conditions cannot last forever.
Hence he is selling freely, the high
prices bringing out many a stock held
over from two and three years ago.
On the other hand there is a great
decrease in the consumption of corn,
dne to these high prices. Scarcely
two-thirds as much of it is being used
on the farm or in the w<srld outside as
when prices were low—perhaps little
more than half. It does not pay the
farmer to feed it to hogs, and accord
ingly we have had hundreds of hogs
arrive at the stock yards within the
past week which will barely average
a leaf lard yield of eight pounds per
head. The animals are being rushed
forward to market without fattening,
or else they are fed on material which
costs less than corn. The same order
of things obtains among those who
usually buy corn for feeding In the
Eastern States and in Europe. They
cannot afford to feed corn to hogs at
present prices, except on the most
parsimonous scale. The quantity of
corn felt to be needed for other stock
is even less, as a bountiful hay crop,
partly of second growth, furnishes food
for cattle, while horses have the addi
tional advantage of plenty of oats,
which drives out corn when the latter
is relatively high in price, as it is now.
The distillers are still at work, as con
sumers willingly bear an advance of
from $1 10 to $1 18, which is a rise
of about 40 per cent, on the price of
the untaxed goods ; but even they are
using more of other grain and less of
corn than formerly. The manufacture
of ‘‘ corn sugar,” which was stimulated
i'h to activity by an abundance of cheap
corn, has now been very much reduced
on the increase in price of the raw
material.
Putting all these facts together, it
certainly looks as if the men who arc
placing their trust in corn are leaning
on a broken reed. Their selfish ef
forts to make money at the experience
of blockaded commerce and suspen
sion of pianpfactoring industries bid
fair to recoil on their own heads.
Would it not be well for them to
pause? If. as it is alleged, many of
them are members of a prominent
Christian Church, which accepts the
P>ible as a rule of faith and conduct,
they may profitably heed the warning
of Paul to Timothy (we quote from the
revised version): “They that desire
to be rich fall into temptation and
snare * * * which some reaching
after * * * have pierced them
selves through with many sorrows.”—
Chicago Tribune.
Mrs. Annie A. Smihton, of Auburn,
N. Y., writes: " I hud doctored Tar
years and tried various advertised
remedies for my complaint, winch was

ered every ill that llesli is heir to.
The least exertion caused the greatest
fatigue. I was tormented with dyspep

seemed poisoned, pimples and sores
were all over my body, nothingl tried
ever gave me more than temporary
relief, and I felt myself growing worse
and worse. Mr. Reynolds, the drug

A Ministerial Statement.*
Rev. C. A. Ilarvey, D. D., is the pop.
tilar financial secretary of Howard
University, and is specially fitted to .
judge of merit and demerit. In a ref
C3Ut letter from Washington to a friend *
he said : f ‘ I have for two years past ,
been acquainted with the remedy
known as Warner’s Safe Kidney and .
Liver Cure, and with its remarkable,
curative efficiency in obstinate and
so-called incurable cases of Bright's ,
discae in this city. In some of these .
eases, which seemed to be in the last .
stages, and which had been given .up ,
by practitioners of both schools, the -
speedy change wrought by this remc-..
dy seemed but little less than nprac- .
ulous. I am convinced that for
Bright’s Disease in ail its stages, in- .
eluding the first symptoms, which seem 4
so slight but arc so dangerous, no ,
remedy heretofore discovered can be
held for one moment in comparison ,
with this.”
Food for the Brain and Nerves that-,
will invigorate the body without, intox
icating is what we need in these,days .
of rush and worry. Parker’s Ginger
Tonic restores the vital energies,
soothes the nerves and bring good |
health quicker than anything you can ,
use. Tribune. See other column.
Albany is about to begin the boring,
of her artesian well, which is estimat
ed to cost about S9OO, and to require
about thirty days in the work. That
will be cheap if she gets a good well.
Health, strength, and vigor given,
and miraculous cures e tree ted, by

The forest fires which lately devas-.
tated eastern Michigan were not witb- 4
out compensation. Whilo they des
troyed many human lives and much,,
valuable property, they also swept
clean of brush and scrub growth thou
sands of acres of good soil, which ,
would otherwise have regained a wil
derness, but which is now ready for
immediate cultivation.
