Here Is a fact In connection with tho
United Mine Workers strike which
should bo borne In mind; The strikers
demand nm Increase Of fifteen cents a
ton. which they believe the operators
can AFFORD to pay owing to the improved
financial and industrial conditions. This
indicates that the miners have been

have studied the industrial situation and
they have seen the Improvement. The

A great deal OF complaint Is made in
certain quarters OF the United States
about the size and expense Of our pension
roll, and foreign countries are pointed to
as an example for US to follow Speak
ing of this subject the Washington Post
calls attention to fact that may not be
generally known In the United States
concerning the British pension system,
which, It Gays, Is a hudred times more
Objectionable than that OF this country
could possibly be.
The great wonder is, says the Post
that the people OF England permit sys-
tenn established many centuries ago
which pensions the aristocracy OF Eng
land, for services performed by their an
cestors, to continue in force. one IN
stance cited Is that of the duke OF Port
land. More than two hundred years ago
Charles II. granted pension In perpetu-
ity OF sos, 900 a year to the duke, as an act
of personal friendship, or because the
duke had performed some favor for the
king. Notwithstanding this act of King
Charles did not morally bind the sue
ceeding generations of Engllshmen to
keep on paying this enormous annuity,
they have been doing 1t just the same.
Every year for more than two CEN
turtles the British taxpayers have been
paying that pension to the line Of dukes
succeeding the original pensloner. This,
says the Post, is but one of a long HIS!
of similar cases. and millions are taken
annually out OF the British treasury,
and collected from the people of that
country. for the purpose OF paying I'M
mense pensions, in sums ranging from
twenty thousand dollars a year up. to the
descendants of men who were thus PEN
sIoned centuries aga
The British people boast that they
have reduced the monarchy to n mere
nothing and that they have democ-
racy, in effect, and yet they permit this
imposition to go on without 50 much az
d complaint, while thousands OF theft
fellow citizens are suffering from the
pangs Of hunger. How is 1t tina: Brit
ish craftsmanship can see any Justice
In supporting at the public expense in
luxury hundreds OF the nobility OF Eng
land, by continuing to them the royal
grants made their ancestors, Is mex
pllcable. And yet there is no m 'vemeat
In England to do away with the BURDEN
some custom.

The provision In the tariff bill impos-
ing stamp tax on transfers OF stocks
and bonds will give general satisfaction,
and Senator ElkIns. who worked for its
adoption, is entitled TO great credit for
It. Government, state and municipal
bonds are. OF course. exempted. In ad-
dillon to raising large amount of rev.
enue the law will prove of benefit in an
other way. 1t will drive out of business
the bucket shops, which have long been
a great evil. and the tax will fall upon
those who are able to stand 1t and upon
whom It will not be a burden. Even II It
accomplished nothing else than to drive
out the bucket shops It will do much
good. The failure OF these institutions to
pay the required tax on each transac-
tion will be an admission Of the fact that
they do not sell the stock, but that they
merely profit by accepting bets on the
fluctuations of prices of stocks, which is
gambling pure and simple, and is pun
tshnble by law.
Another reform which the tax is likely
to work will be the Iessening of stock
speculation generally on the legitimate
exchanges. and for that reason some OPP
position to It ls heard on Wall street.
The business of stock specializing.
though legitimate in itself. Is morally
wrong. and II is the rulnation of many
business man every year. If the tax
limlts the field of operations by making
81 more expensive to buy and sell stocks
for speculative purposes a business
which is fruitful Of no good and does not
contribute in any way to the wealth of
the country, it will accomplish very
much in the way Of reform.
AS to the revenue that It is expected
will be derived from the tax, estimates
vary. but the belief is expressed by those
who are well Informed that from seven
10 ten millions of dollars a year will be
realized.

frame OF mind for political effect. When
the better times are here labor win be
benefited. The miners state through
their officials that they see them on the
way.
AS a matter OF fact the miners and the
mine operators are both hopeful of a
revival. and many operators are already
holding out promise of better wages on
the return Of better times For this rea-
son there are many doubts expressed by
those who sympathize with the miners
and deplore their condition that the ae-
ton In striking at this time Is wise.
They have gone out at a time when
many OF the operators can afford to sus-
pend until better prices prevail, and over
the dullest time OF the year for the coal
trade, At such a time steady work can
not be had at any price by all the miners,
and suspension can be better endured
by the operators than by the miners,

The enemies of Democracy are at this
time alert and desperate. They have
renewed their campaign of last year
with all their Old-tlme frenzy and fury.
They make no concealment Of their pur'
pose to again take up the battle for sill
verlsm, fiatlsm, moblsm-Bryanism.
They are fighting this year for position
from which to continue the conflict in
1898 and 1900. The time for Democrats
to meet them and beat them is now-to
prevent them from entrenching them
selves, instead OF waiting until next
year or until 1900 and then trying to dis
lodge them from their entrenchments.-
