simistic view of the proposed Debs
coiieceivists settlement in the west is
taken by the Spectator, which says:
''Collecfivicm hitherto have been con-
fined to foreigners in the United States,
particularly to Germans. But the new
movement means native coHectivist
party. Such a party seems TO be in
progress pf formation, and may por-
tend great changes in the character of
American politics. II is likely to ex-
ercise considerable influence through
out the world sooner or later. ASSum-
ing that the project were fairly sue
cessful, collision between the cOlonists

The continued dispositions of trusts
would occasion a combination of dis
content OF farmers with the artisan
population of thec.ties, and the year
of 1900 may see q western Populist in
the white house. a congress angry and
determined, and state legislatures
everywhere west of the Mississippi in
complete sympathy with the revolu-
tionary demands of the coHectivists,
who would differ only in details from
the German social Democrats.
such a situation would be bound to
lead TO the employment OF federal
forces, which with MIR. Bryan, as
president and a Democratic congress,
would take the form Of suppression
of the trusts and railway corporations.

would be the other way. His eagerness
for a blnetallic conference with the
leading European states shows an at
tempt to capture the silver vote of the
west so as TO break UP the forces OF
discomfort.
The ugly temper which is growing
on the basis of the revelation OF the
tariff bill is adding fuel 10 the flames.
In America action is always taken sud
denly, and it may be but few years
before a great party will become
dominant, determined TO carry out
