Hurers IF mechanical rubber also held
a meeting and came 10 the same con-
c%lnsiOn, adopting the following prsam-
bic and resolution:
whereas, We realize the necessity
for an advance in the prices of our pro

rubbcr which have prevailed rov a long

Resolved, That the prices of special

This advancing prices for everything

corresponding increase in The income of
the mass OF purchasers, only widcns

"Thcse are the gentlemen who
were enriched to the amount OF
more than $40. 900. 900 Immediately

All they had to do was to lay In q

gained comes out OF the pockets of

II SHOULD CONVINCE Cong REss,

The Philadelphia Ledger Is clearly of
the opinion that il the United states
Treasury deficit of almost SIG, 600, 600 for
thc fiscal ear to date discs not convince
Congress ofthc necessity of either rlgor-
Gus rcsrcnchincn: and economy in the
matter of Government expenditures or
of providing additional, revenues to meet
e~Xtravasant appropriations, 1t Is unlike
ly TINT anything will do 81.
And yot when was Il that q Repub-
lican Congress ever felt convinced Of
the necessity OF economy in public OK

except at the other fellows expense?

Spain no doubt would care less for
'the loss Of Cuba If that loss was
brought on through war with the United
States than for any other reason she
was compelled to abandon the island,

between this country and Spain is some

An EsGLIsn VIEW OF IKE CASE.

The London Times expresses the opin-
ion that Engiishmcn eXaggeratc the
difference between tho power OF the
United States and that of Spain. That
difference. 1t declares, is enormous,
though it does not so appear in Spanish
eyes. Spaniards think, enormously, that
by n system of prlvatecring they could
put an end TO American trade, only n
portion Of (which, rs they forget, is car

think that they could make the landing
of an American army in Cuba an excess
sivcly risky II difficult operation, and
they believe that if an army landed i'm
the island their oWn great army there
you'd be able 10 defeat il. The Span
iards, with more reason than English
men, believe in their own soldiers. and
attribute their failure in Cuba 20 any
u rather than military incompe-
tence or WANT Of readiness for battle. In
short, while they expect to be beaten i'm
the long run. and fully share the Eng
fish opinion rs 20 the resources OF tho
great republic, they do not expect 10 be
defeated with ridiculous ease. or TO be
