Harvest-Tlme for the Trusts.

Now is the time, while the eyes OF
the people are fixed on the map in
following the whereabouts of our
squadron in foreign waters, for the
trusts to get In their fine work. At all
times, but never more so than when
the people are excited over political
or social events, are there persons ly-
ing low, as it were, to fill their own
pockets, during the general upheaval.
In going over the list of trusted ar
ticles We thought nothing had been
forgotten; but it seems that the manu-
facturers of knit goods had yet to be
heard from. Plans have been formed
within the past week to consolidate all
the interests now engaged in this bust
ness. With a capital Of $50, 900, 900 the
price and quality Of knit goods will
soon be regulated after the manner Of
the standard Oil and sugar monoplies.

the treasury were coined and silver
certificates issued thereon and $780,
100000 of non-interest-bearin full le-
gal tender treasury notes issued. Such
an increase Of the circulating medium
would not only furnish money to
prosecute the war, but would furnish
a circulating medium which would re-
vive business and make the payment ~
the war tax easy. If, however, the op-
ponents Of gold monopoly are willing
to forego all the advantages which
more money would furnish, and con-
sent to the issuance Of short-time
bonds which will neither commit the
country to the gold standard nor to BIZ
metallism, we think 1t unreasonable
that the gold party should refuse such
non-partisan legislation asked for the
Interior purpose Of more thoroughly
committing the country to the single
gold standard.

If we had government telegraph, as
in Great Britain, connected with our
postal sewice, The Star would at once
be issued daily, and give it's readers
the facts concerning the war. Not one
of our great dailies" does so. What
we read today is contradicted tomor-
row. An extra" at 10 o'clock is fol-
lowed by another extra" at II o'clock
denying the previous rumors and pub
fishing more "rumors." This or that
vessel is sunk in one issue, and it
isn't sunk in the next. BY pursuing
their present policy, the newspapers
will kill the goose that laid the gold
en- egg" People won't buy them, be-
cause they cannot believe them; and
even when a genuine battle does occur,
they will mistrust the news" To
SHOW up" the humbuggery and dis
honesty Of the press in this regard, as
we'll as for the information of our
readers, we will next week, and every
week thereafter until the "cruel war
is over" publish the substance of all
the so-called news" as given day
by day, which we believe, will not take
one page of The Star, although in a
week at least thirty large pages are
devoted to it by each Of the dailies
of this city.-San Francisco Star.

The reason why no preparation wat
made to supply Admiral Dewey with
men and munitions of war in case he
was victorious in the Philippine
Islands will never be known, because
it would be record of ignorance and
stupidity or something worse which
the responsible parties will never re-
veal to the public.
The reason why no arms or NUM-
lions of war have been sent to Gomez's
army is one Of the mysteries of Presi-
dent McKinley's administration. The
insurgent army of patriots for more
than three years had conducted war
against all the armies of Spain, and
obtained sufficient supplies to enable
them to continue the contest notwith-
standing the vigilance Of Spanish war
vessels and the expenditure of millions
by the United States in maintaining
squadron of revenue cutters to prevent
the landing Of supplies on the island.
1t will not do for the administration to
claim that large army of occupation
must be sent to Cuba before munitions
of war can be supplied to the armies of
Gomez, because there are hundreds OF
places where supplies have been landed
and can now be landed without molss-
tation.
The reason why Cuba is blockaded
and the reconcentrados deprived of
every possible means of obtaining food,
without any effort on the part Of the
administration to furnish them relief.
either by sending troops upon the
island or by the use Of Gomez's forces,
will never be known.
If the 100000 starving and diseased
reconcentrados, for whom this war for
humanity was inaugurated, die by star
walton on account of the action of the
administration, who will be RESPONSE
BILE for such a terrible disaster? Will
1t be Spain, who has no power to ex-
tend relief, or the administration,
which fails to make any effort in that
direction?
These inquiries are not made in the
spirit Of fault-flnding or criticism, but
in disappointment and sorrow, and in
the hope that the administration may
yield to the voice of humanity and JUS
tice and right the wrongs of which we
complain.-Silver Knight Waterman.

Precept and Practice.

that people are willing to take hard

go on fervant crusades to recover the

Thus II appears that In thirty years
the total amount of money paid In pen
sions was $1,s4s, 562,O71, scarcely any
Of which went to wealthy persons.
During the same time $2,791.537, 715
was paid as interest to the bondhold-
ers, practically all of whom are rich,
and most OF whom have offices In wall
street. Excess of the interest burden,
$S41, 975, 646.
Therefore, from the point OF view
of Grover Cleveland and Mark Hanna,
the payment of pensions Is a burden
which ought to be abated. The issu-
ance of Understanding bonds Is q
patriotic duty.
When volunteers were scarce near
the close OF the civil war the govern
ment unhesitatingly made use OF the
draft. So did the Confederate govern
ment, and so would the United States
government in the war with Spain II
necessary.
In the name of common sense, why
not draft the money necessary to con-
duct the war, also?
The people volunteer their lives. The
plutocrats volunteer nothing, except to
condescend to serve on staff duty
where there is no danger, as John
Jacob Astor has done. The plutocrats
do not volunteer to endanger their
lives or deplete their bank accounts.
On the contrary, they fight all war
taxes that will fall upon Them and
demand that the government abrogate
its right to issue money, borrow
money of them, and pay them interest
on 1t.
"a determined fight" said the press
dispatches recently, "led by Senators
Elkins and Hanna, will be made
against that section Of the senate sub
stitute for the Dingley war tax bill
which relates to the taxing Of corpo-
rations."
While Wall street controls legisla-
ton at Washington there will be no
issue of greenbacks; no income tax;
no inheritance tax; no tax on the gross
receipts Of corporations.
Especially will Senators Elkins and
Hanna and the sugar trust standard
oil trust, railroad trust. steel trust,
etc., fight the tax upon the gross re-
ceipts of corporations. The trusts are
not here for the purpose of contribut-
ing to the war expenses. Their mis-
sion Ia to make the war an excuse
for greatly increasing their profits,
which they have already done.
And the government, as administer
ed by Senators ElIins and Hanna, will
see that the wishes of the trusts are
deferred to.
Even the silver bullion owned by the
government must not be coined to help
pay war expenses as long as Wall
street has dollar to loan. And
hundred million dollars in gold must
be left in the treasury as a reserve.
II Mr.. Hanna or Mr. Elkins should do
such financiering in their own private
business as they are forcing upon the
people of this country, their relatives
would have guardians appointed for
them. PERCY PEPOON.

CURRENT NOTES;

The New York Evening Post and
several other sublimated organs Of
Wall street which have been demand
ing the issue of interest bearing wal
bonds in as large quantities rs posi-
BILE, habitually refer to the "tremend-
Gus pension burden" Presumably, the
interest on the civil war debt that has
been unnecessarily paid to foreign and
domestic usurers Is not burden, since
the Cleveland-worshipin newspapers
never allude to 1t as such.
