whether the stocks go two points up or

also that the men who are readiest to

Spain succeeds in re-establlshing her bru-
tai authority in the island, it will be very
largely through the assistance of the
United States. We are carrying the big
end of the stick. Spain, it is true, ac-
knowlcdges this herself. for ir it is true,
as she asserts, that the insurgents have
been able to make the demonstration
they have made against her by aid OF
assistance received from these shores,
how very much more would they have
been able to do had that assistance not
been reduced to minimum by the ac-
tivity of this government in enforcing
neutrality laws. As a matter of fact,
therefore, we are helping TO hammer in
to subsection again n people whose
struggle for independence we approve,
and Of whose prosecutions under Span
ish control we are well aware.
%
We will not help the Cuban people to
establish their freedom-are doing every
thing in our power to hinder and foil
their own efforts to that cnd-but IT,
without us, and even against us, they
succeed, we will at once become a con-
trolling factor in the case. Suppose, af-
ter throwing Off the Spanish yoke, and
effecting an organization of their own
affairs, the people of Cuba should de-
eide to offer themselves to the protection
of Great Britain, or Germany or even re-
puDlCun france, upon lne score tnat
they would feel more secure under the
reign of a great power disposed to use
them we'll Would they be permitted 10
consummatc any such arrangement? As
suredly not This government would at
once interfere. Tho Monroe doctrine
would be asserted I'm the swift space Of
a second. We will not. then, help them
to establish their freedom, but if they
establish it themselves, we will put a
limit upon what they shall do with it.
o
But we are, of course, safe on that
score. Freedom for Cuba means profit
to the United States. The struggle in the
island is for independence, and inde-
pendence will mean close relations of ev-
cry kind with the United States. The in
surgents desire it, despite our treatment
of them, and their interests imperatively
demand 1t. They are imbued with re-
publican ideas, the market for their pro-
ductions is here, and they are almost in
shouting distance of our shores. If they
succeed in throwing off the Spanish
yoke and should then, for any cause
desire a union with some stronger pow.

X ALWAYS AND PROSPERITY.

Including the wives and children OF the
S2G,GDO men employed by the railroads of
the United States, there are some four
million persons directly interested in the
prosperity of the roads Within three
years, from 1898, there we're some jO0UJ
hands laid off owing to the dull times,
contraction of business, and consequent
decrease in the quantity of freight handl-
cd by the railroads. Good times mean
more freight, more hands employed and
more families provided for. The import
ance of prosperity to our railroads is
shown by the fact that the earning ca
racity of all the employees amounted to
SiGS, 824531 In 1896. over 60 per cent. of
the total operating expenses of the roads
Is money paid i'm wages and salaries. The
whole Of this money is distributed from
hand to hand. from store to store. from
wholesale to retail from factory to mine
and farm, involving, with each turn or
the money, additional employment for
other hands who are thus, both directly
and indirectly, concerned in our railroad
conditions which affect the many rather
than the few.

A CURIOUS INVENTORY.

The hereditary revenues Of the
crown" make a curious inventory. In
early times almost everybody had to
pay royalty upon the proceeds of
his industry or his property; hence the
origin Of that word, which is in COM
mon use all over the world today A
percentage of all private incomes went
to the sovereign, the first fruits of the
fields and one-tenth of all they pro-
duced. These taxes were first levied
by the pope 1000 years ago to carry
on the crusade. After the reformation
Henry VIII. required them to be paid
to him as the head of the church. In
1904 Queen Anne surrendered them to
the church to increase the stipends OF
the clergy; hence they are now known
as queen Anne's bounty" and un-
der that name are collected and aD-
piled to this day.
In early times the king granted all
licenses, for whatever occupation or
purpose they We're required, and the
fees went into his own pocket. The
receipts of the postofice We're a royal
perquisite until 1887, and even now the
sovereign of England is by law entitled
to all Contraband goods seized, all
treasure trove, all the property of fell
ons, outlaws and persons executed, all
shipwrecks, all jetsam and flotsam, all
waits and strayH, all abandoned prop
erty, all animals wandering unclaimed,
all lands that are forfeited by their
owners or to which no proper title can
be proved, and all estates that are
without heirs; and up to the time of
Queen Victoria the revenues Of the
QrONn from these SOnrpnS NNp11l1 avon
age $1,5OO,OOO yearly.
Queen Victoria is entitled by law to
all whales and surgeons captured by
British fishermen, for they are known
as royal fish" The "droits of ad-
miralty," which were the proceeds of
prizes captured by the navy at sea,
always went to the sovereign, and i'm
twenty-five years during the reign of
George III. they amounted to G9,562,
GA, which is nearly $4,000, 900. The
crown is also entitled to the fees re-
ceived for the attachment of the great
seal of state to legal documents, com-
missions, grants and patents, which
are called the Receipts of the Han
aper," and amount to several millions
a year. The queen enjoys another val
liable prequisite in the revenues Of the
Island of Barbados, which We're grant
ed to the crown in 1868 and amount "a
about $250,000 a year. She also inherits
from Henry ". the title of duchess
of Lancaster, and the revenues of that
county which she still actually re-
ceives. They amount to about $215, 600
year. The sovereign of England also
receives the revenues of the duchy OF
Cornwall until the birth of a son, who

TO maintain their ruler. This includes
his salary, the salary of his clerks and
the other expenses of maintaining the
white house. In Great Britain the to-
tai runs up beyond $i,5OOOO0 a year.
The princess of Wales alone receives
rs pin money for her wardrobe and
personal expenses an amount equal to
the salary of the president of the
United States, and this does not include
any of the expenses of Marlborough
house, in which she lives. Her husband
has just four times as much, and her
sons and daughters nearly four times
as much more.
Theoretically the queen of Great
Britain receives no compensation, but
is entitled to what are known as the
hereditary revenues of the crown" AC-
cording to law she is free from all
taxes, rates, assessments and charges"
but in 1912, during the crisis over the
income tax, Sir Robert Peel announced
in parliament that her majesty had
been graciously pleased to declare her
voluntary determination that her in
come should be subject to the same de-
duction that was suffered by all officials
and servants of the government in lieu
of the income and property tax. This
proclamation was received with hearty
applause and most complimentary COM
ments by the newspapers, but Sir Rob-
crt either had no authority for making
IL or else her majesty on second thought
was graciously pleased to change her
mind, for she did not carry out the
promise and has never paid e. copper
into the treasury as taxes since she
was crowned.

A THRIFTY SCION.

The duke of Edinburgh, like his
mother, has been q very economical
and thrifty citizen, while the prince
of Wales has been a spcndthrift. From
childhood until 1878, when he was mar
ried, the duke of Edinburgh had an
allowance of .Gl5,0oO most Of which
was saved and invested IN very profit
able securities. When he was married
to the daughter Of Emperor Alexander
Of Russia parliament increased his al
lowance to E25,00O a year; his wife
brought him a marriage portion of
C2o0,030 cash, an income of G9OOO) a
year and q life annuity of G11,25O. ut
her death this money will pass to her
children, and the duke legally has no
control Of it. with great prudence he
has avoided using any of his wife's in
come and has secured for it very prof
itahle investment, until now the wealth
Of the couple is estimated anywhere
from $2j,OoO0OO to S50000,000.
Some years ago the duke of Edin-
burCh succeeded to the throne of the
/ German duchy of SaXc-Coburg, from
which ne receives revenues amounting
/ to nearly S1,0O0,000 q year. AT that
/ time he surrendered G15,OO0 of his al
| lowance from the British treasury, but
still retains Clarcmont house and an
| allowance of $4,000 a year. This is the
cause Of considerable scandal The
British people say that his revenues as
a sovereign prince of Germany are am
pie for all possible requirements with
| out considering his private fortune,
| from which he never draws 81 cent,
and that he ought, in common decency,

The duke also receives salaries and

PERMANENT CIVIL LIST.

In 1880 William ". made an arrange
ment with parliament, which was con-
nrmcd by Queen Victoria upon her ac-
cession in 1887, under which all of the
hereditary revenues of the crown and
the proceeds Of the royal estates were
surrendered in exchange for a perma-
ncnt civil list amounting to GiOS, O0O
II was q very good trade on both sides.
The proper and legitimate revenues Of
the queen at the present day would
largely exceed this sum, but there
would be infinite confusion and a very
large expense attending their collec-
tiOn. On the ether hand, she is relieved
entirely from responsibility, and not
only continues to receive this fixed al
loWancc but liberal appropriations have
been made by parliament for all the
members of her family and have been
increased from time to time until the
annuities now amount to G55S,0O0. or
