Smashing Of Ccrvera's Fleet.
When Admiral Cervera left the Cape
de Verde islands the people of Spain
were assured by their government that
he had gene to teach the American
something abopt war. The squadron
was soon bottled up in the harbor of
Santiago, and when 1t attempted to es-
cape II was reduced to the condition of
the remembered Maine. The Spanish
ships consisted Of the armored cruisers
Almirante Oquendo, Infanta Maria
Teresa, Vizcaya and Cristobal Colon,
all OF the Maine class, and two torpedo
boat destroyers. The entire compile
ment was 1000 men and the armament
Of the principal ships was virtually

now stands: For loss OF the Maine,
with 266 lives, Spain has paid with the
loss OF ten cruisers and nineteen other
ships, some two thousand lives and
more than 1000 prisoners. Long ago
the United States established a good
name for the the payment of its debts.

Losses mt Santiago.
Revised reports of the losses in the
engagement before Santiago on the first
three days OF July give the great total
of 1886 killed, wounded and missing.
AS there could not have been more than
10000 men in action, this percentage Is
enormous and II tells its own tale of
the terrific fighting.
The killed numbered 20 officers and 20s
enlisted men; the wounded so officers
and 1908 men, or 103 officers and 1,4f1
men disabled in action. The very large
proportion Of loss among the officers is
remarkable and is especially commend

In the Enemy's Hands.

Ten years ago Mckinley said 1--WE do
not want cheap labor in the United States
Cheap labor means cheap men and cheap
men means dear money. Iwould elevate
and build up manhood, instead of making
the dollar dear, and thereby giving more
power to the money bags"
Twenty years ago Mckinley voted for
the Matthews. Teller resolution declaring
the bonds payable in both silver and gold
coin, which was a Republican party
policy. Today he has changed entirely
and back slid from all this. He is now
opposed to the Teller resolution, which
was voted solidly against by the House
under Reeds gag rule agreeable to
McKinley's wishes. Mr.. Mckinley is now
i'll favor of dear money, which he for
merly declared meant cheap men. The
whole Republican party has changed its
relations TO these predominating prin-
ciples. Mckinley is i'll the hands of the
English money oligarchy and powerless
He is now on all occasions speaking as
they dictate and command.

The Gold Oligarchy.

The Review of Reviews thus describes
the power that has the Republican party
IN its anaconda coils =
"a combination of the great bankers
who are neither English. French or Ger
man in their real allegiance, but must be
regarded as law unto themselves and a
separate power gradually but steadily
strengthening their grasp upon the des
tiny of nations"
Reader, if you have been allied with
that political organization, have you given
the matter serious thought? After
years of insiduous effort it has so de.
bauched the leaders of the party that it i:
now able to arrogantly demand that they
shall obey its bidding. Mr.. Mckinley
Mr.. Gage and the Republican congress
sional leaders are mere puppets in the
hands, or rather tolls of this gigantic
greedy, concienceless oligarchy of banks
and gold which now controls the govern,
ments of score of nations and aspires tc
control the world.

This in short comprises the whole gold
bug argument. They have never adj

thing else than such rigmarole of non-
sense. Reed, Mckinley, Harrison,
Cleveland have all had a turn at advo-
eating the gold standard, and the above
quotations cover everything they have all
said. They delivered columns of words
but nothing more coherent than is con-
tanned in the above disjointed words and
phrases. Alas for the cause that has to

Farmers Clubs.

Farmers clubs are being organ
lied throughout the country for the
express purpose Of purchasing sup
plies in job lots. They are not
secret organizations, as a rule in the
ordinary sense of the term. They
have no signs or grips, and their
only password is, "Keep your own
counsel" At stated times they
meet and compile a list of supplies
needed. In many cases wholesale
houses send their statesmen to these
meetings. Indeed so important has
this trade become that men are
employed whose business it is to
look after it. Then again a club or
lodge will transact its business
through the mails, neither of the
contracting parties ever seeing each
other. The number and impor-
lance of these clubs is constantly
increasing as conditions grow more
and more rigOrous.-March Arena.

The Greenback VS.. the Gold Standard
Period.

The ninth census of the United States
was completed in 1870. This included
the period from 1860 which covered the
slavery rebellion, and notwithstanding
the great destruction of property and the
withdrawal of two million men from in
dustrial pursuits, the population had in
creased over seven millions. Agriculture
and manufactures had grown to an enor-
nous aggregate, and we were successfully
competing with the markets of the world.
That was the most prosperous period this
nation ever knew. And WHY 1t was
the greenback period and there was about
$50 per capita in active circulation.
Plenty of money, no idle people, no
tramps and but little crime or suicides.
Compare that decade with the present one
from 1890 to the present time, which is
the gold standard era and IS per capita
in circulation.

Bounty for the Farmers.

David Lubin has been ventilating his
theory of equalizing protection, before
the New England Free Trade League,
and quite astonished the free traders of
Yankee land. The Hon. John E. Russell.
of Leicester, Mass. who was selected by
the League to debate the question with
Mr.. Lubin, complained that Mr.. Lubin s
argument was too high for him, the most
of it going clear over his head. We are
not surprised at that, for any one who is
not familiar with Mr.. Lubin's odd way of
getting even.
Mr.. Lubin's contention is that farmers
ought to be sharers in the protection
which the manufacturers receive from the
government by the tariff laws, and the
proper way to afford that equality of pro-
lection to agriculture that is accorded the
manufacturers, is to pay bounty on all
grain shipped and sold abroad Grain
and other agricultural products cannot
share in the tariff protection like manu-
features, because agricultural are articles
of export and not import.
The important point of all, however,
Mr.. Lubin did not make clear. Where
is the money to come from to pay boun-
ties on exported farm products? The
tariff does not create enough revenue to
furnish the government with funds to
defray its running expenses, and the ben
eft the manufacturers receive they get by
putting up the price of their goods as
high as the tariff will permit, and shut out
as many foreign goods as possible.
The only way we can see that Mr..
Lubin can get bounty money for the
farmers is by assessing the manufacturers
according to the percentage of pro-
lection the tariff affords them For
illustration If there was a 40 per cent
duty on line of goods manufacturer
was producing, let the government ascer-
tain the amount of his sales in a year,
and cause him to refund 20 per cent oil
that protection of the bounty and hand il
over to the farmer. This seems to supply

farmers theory, and make it all right-on
paper.
Strange to say great many Oranges
have endorsed Mr. Lubin's theory. He
has been advocating it for a number OF
years and has shifted his plan from the
first draft, which was a kind of postal
system for laying agricultural products
from the far West down on the Atlantic
coast by mail.
Like many other clever men who would
be benefactors of humanity, Mr. Lubin
appears to have gone daft in pursuit OF
his theory.

Two powerful reasons why there will
be no Spanish war-Spain is the barking
dog which runs no risks to bite, and
Mckinley is hunting excuses to acquit
Spain of any completely in the blowing
up of the Maine.
Spain takes counsel of selfpreservation
and McKinleys advisers are the Spanish
bondholders and stock market men.
Speaker Reed, too, is thoroughly in the
interest of the bof1dholders and stock
market gang of British and Wall street
Jews. They largely depend on him to
promote their interests.
