sPANIARDs AS INVENTORS.

VIZ Bulletins the Highest Type, AppaR-
ently. OF What They Have Produeed.
The Spanish government is one of the
Oldest organized in the world. The
Spanish nation Is one Of the oldest main
tanning intact it's official identity in
Europe. In many Of the arts and sci
ences. as we'll as in war, commerce, nav
igation and geographical research, Span
iards have taken high rank, but for
Some reason Spaniards have been of
very little note as inventors. The high
est type Of modern Spanish invention
would appear to be in the war bulletin.
There are few useful or ingenious in
ventions which are attributed to men
OF Spanish birth or ancestry. Cannon
were used by the Spaniards nearly 600
years ago, and before their use by
either the English or the French, but
these cannon were brought into Spain
Ivy the Moors. The invention of the
microscope is ascribed to a German,
OF Cunpowder to q Hindoo, of printing
to German, of the rifle to a native of
Vienna, of photography 10 a French
man, of the paddock to a German, the
pendulum to an italian, the mariners
compass to a Chinaman, the guitar to
an Egyptian, hats to a Swiss resident
of the city of Paris, the kaleidoscope
to an italian, dice to an ancient Greek.
the drum to an Arabian, the galvanic
battery to an italian, the balloon to a
Frenchman. the barometer to an ItaI.
ian, bombs to Hollander, bayonets to
Frenchman, the accordion (as an in
strument of music) to a German resi-
dent of Vienna, fresco painting to an
italian, the clarinet to German resi-
dent OF Leipsic, stereotyping to
Frenchman, the telescope to Holland
er, the thermometer to Calico, an Ital-
ian, the velocipede (the forerunner Of
the bicycle) to German, ond the print
ing press to Dutchman. But it doe.
not appear that in any of these inven-
tons (either in originating Or perfect
ing them) any Spaniard took q prom
inent part or, indeed, any part what
ever.
In modern inventions, as the records
of the patent office establish, Americans
stand not only at the head, but SO far
ahead Of the people of other countries
as to render unnecessary any comparI-
on. In all mechanical contrivances, and
especially those used in manufactures
or in improved and progressive agricul.
tural operations, Americans stand first.
and at the foot Of the list, among civil
lied nations, are the Spaniards. Ir
the Sixteenth century, Seville alone had
10000 silk looms; there are now only
5000 in NIL Spain. Spain IL he only

ing industry has gone backward during

A remarkable incident is brought to
our notice by the Bristol post Office,
and, what is more, it is a story without

was proof that 1t was delivered the
same evening, the addressee complained
that the important missive had not

it occurred to him that ns his business

WHAT Is A PLUTOCRAr

The st. Louis Post -Dispatch, in an
swer to an inquiry, thus defines
plutocrat:
The Post dispatch has no criticism
to make upon wealth as such. On
the contrary, it recognizes that accu-
mutation of wealth which is simply
the saved surplus Of earnings over
expenditures is one Of the primary
conditions of human progress and one
of the cornerstones Of what Is called
civilization. Nor has the Post Dis
patch any quarrel with rich men as
such. 1t believes that the concentra
ton Of wealth in tho hands of a class,
and especially the pillng up of the
colossal fortunes that are among the
most startling phenomena Of the
present century, is proof positive Of
discriminating laws and Of vitiated
public opinion. At the same time it
realizes that even a rich man who
misuses his wealth is not a plutocrat,
nor does an aggregation OF rich men
in community constitute plu-
tocracy.
What then is plutocrat? A pluto
crat is man who aims by the use of
money i'll politics to attain d position
of power and influence Which he
could not attain in any other way,
which he could not attain, for ex-
ample, by INTEL, 'ctual force, public
service or personal popularity. A
plutocrat is man whose cardinal
doctrine of political faith is that
money is power. The practical de-
ductlon from this doctrine is that
power should be lodged in the hands
that possess money. And as money
is the most exclusive and arrogant OF
despots, where money is accepted as
the proper source Of power is apt to
be regarded as the sole source.
Hence plutocrat looks upon those
who gam power through any other
agencies tnan money as vulgar
usurpers, to be dispossessed and
trampled under foot as soon as they
can be reached.
1t follows that plutocrat is by ma
ture, by habit of thought and by his
conception of political forces hostile
to any popular or Democratic form Of
government because popular or
Democratic government means rule
by the majority, and the plutocrat
well knows that accommodations of
money large enough to constitute
controlling power never find 1heir
way into the hands of a majority Of
the people. II they did, the value
which he places upon money and
riches would be greatly lessened. It
is the consciousness that he belongs
to small class enjoying special
privileges that gives him his greatest
satisfaction ~ the possession Of
money and power.
We hope this is clear. A plutocrat
is man who depends upon money
alone for political place and influence
who cannot understand the ac-
comphshment of anything without
money. A plutocrat exists in any
community which is ruled by mon
who have obtained their power
through the use or misuse of money.
