WILL APPEAL TO M'KINLEY
New York Merchan IS Desire a Speedy
Settlement of the Cuban Question.

New York, May 13.-For some time
the merchants of New York who have
business relations with Cuba have had
under consideration several plans to
bring about, if possible, a peaceful set
tIement of the Cuban insurrection. They
have decided to petition President Nc
Kinley to do all in his power to effect a
speedy settlement.
The petition is being literally signed
by bankers, brokers, commission mer-
chants and all those who are interested
in the welfare of Cuba, and wish to re-
new commercial relations between the
two countries.
The president will be asked to make
all haste possible to carry out the policy
of the petition, as every day Widens the
gulf between the two countries, and the
longer the present situation continues
the more difficult it Will be to renew
commercial and business relations on
the old standards. The petition Will not
be confined to New York alone but will
be extended to every city and town in
the United States where business has
been hampered by the Cuban difficult
ties.

SILVER NOT ENOUGH.
The Fight Must Be Made On the Old
Greeuback Idea,

Greenback Idea.
The financial fight of the Populists
must hereafter be made upon the old
greenback idea OF a full legal tender
paper money based upon the entire
wealth OF the country. The silver
question upon which this campaign has
been fought is very largely d fake
issue. Even II we could get free coin
age the same conditions would remain
and Similar results would follow. 1t
would simply enlarge the circle OF men
who control the metals from which
money is made. No permanent reform
can ever come until this power is en-
trey removed from the hands OF mine
owners and bankers. The great busi-
ness interests Of this country should
never be allowed to hinge upon the
chance discovery and working OF
some mountain mine that can be con-
trolled by few individuals: The gold
owners know full well that free coin
age OF silver would not change the sys-
tenn by which the rich are growing
richer and the poor poorer. They
would simply be obliged to share their
base metal with another class Of men
equally rapacious and dishonest. The
whole metal theory Of primary money
is false and should be thrown aside as
an outgrown relic Of barbarisn. Mod
ern civilization demands modern
meth5ds, and a scientific paper raohey
will best subserve the interests Of the
future. The campaign that has just
closed has served a useful purpose in
educating people that 8 single gold
standard is not desirable This half
truth once established, it will be easier
to overthrow the whole system Of
metal money. A reform once started
always goes farther than its promoters
intended. The war of the rebellion
started with the issue Of non.extension
Of slavery; 1t ended with the COM
plete destruction Of the whole system.
Had the Shareholders yielded the first
point their institution would have been
saved many years. They blindly re-
sisted and they lost all. The present
agitation for monetary reform has
been equally mild in its beginning.
The very fact that the capitalists have
so stubbornly resisted this moderate
demand will only hasten their own
downfall. Revolution feeds upon oppo-
sition. This agitation will not cease
for one moment. It will continue with
ever accelerating speed and force. In
four years from now the people will
not be satisfied with the mere rehabili-
tation of silver. They will demand the
complete destruction Of the whole
metal basis system and their demands
will then be enforced by their ballots.

Burglary and Kleptomania,

Uncle Sam AS u Manager.

How much do you suppose 1t would
cost to send letter did private cor
porations own and control the postal
system? AT least double and that
would be very liberal allowance, but
in all probability it would cost not less
than five cents. The postal system as
now operated barely pays expenses and
usually is & little shy on meeting the
demands Of the department. Would
it be reasonable to suppose that cor
porations would operate it for the deay
people at such pace? Most certainly
not. They would have to increase
charges enough to pay dividends. Ap-
ply the same rule to railroads and tele-
graph ard it will be plainly seen that
the people are paying no less than
double the price they would be re-
quired to expend for transportation and
transmission of news did the govern
ment own the railroads and telegraph
The railroads are public conveniences.
| So is the telegraph. So is the post
office. If it is right and proper for the
government to own the postoffice, why
is It not right that 1t should own the
railroads and telegraph? They are al
most as essential to the public as the
postal system The postal system is
much more complex and difficult to
operate than either railroads or tele-
graph. so there can be no argument
against government ownership on the
ground that the government is incom-
petent to handle them.
Uncle Sam has demonstrated so often
his ability to manage railroads, and at
the present writing has some Of the
largest trunk lines in the country un-
der his immediate supervision. These
demonstrations also show that the gov
ernment is more adept in handling rail-
roads than corporations, inasmuch as
| it never takes charge of road until
the company owning it has about lost
the last pin upon which 1t stands. Then
through a receiver Uncle Sam takes
hold of the property and pulls it
through, doing justice to both the orig
inal owners and the creditors, while if
the road had remained In the hands OF
the very competent" owners, bank
ruptcy would be inevitable.
In short, the government is a first
class manager for any enterprise. 1t
has shown it's fitness as railroad
manager, and would be fully as COM
petent TO manage the telegraph, or any
other public necessity. Evening jour

Paternalism OF Uncle Sam.

Government ownership is we'll illus

work shorter hours than anywhere
else, and friction in any OF the depart
