Manila Rebels Like Germans.

Manila, Philippines, June % (yia Hong
Kong, June 2Sl.-The Spaniards claim to
have driven the rebels back, but really
the position is unchanged. The arrival of
the American troops is awaited, and they
are expected today. The Spanish outposts
have prepared to retire promptly to the
walled city, and will probably make only
a nominal resistance.
1t is alleged the insurgents dislike the
Americans and favor German protection.
Five German warships are here. The
Spaniards continue their nightly fusil-
lade, but the volunteers decline to go to
the trenches, while many of the regulars
are idling about the town. Thousands of
trees in the vicinity of the citadel have
been cut down, but the botanical gardens
remain All food is held at famine prices.
Five Thousand Prisoners.
Hong Kong July 2S.-General Aguin-
aldo, according to letters brought from
Cayite by a German steamer, occupies
the mansion of the governor of Cavite,
but he will shortly move to linus to make
room for the American troops. The in
surgents have now 5000 prisoners. One
hundred and eighty-seven of the Spanish
wounded have been sent to Manila with
a flag of truce by permission of Admiral
Dewey.

Want to Check Cnmara.

No attempt is made to deny that the
government is influenced in ordering this
movement by desire to cheek the prog
ress eastward of the Cadiz fleet. 1t was
not believed that the Spanish admiral
could be guilty of the folly of uncovering
his own home ports in this fashion, but
inasmuch as he seems determined to DO
so, the naval stlptegists could not do less
than take advantage of the magnificent
opportunity thus afforded them to strike
a crushing blow at Spain, and thereby
save perhaps much time and loss of life
and money in the conduct of the tedious
campaign in Cuba.

SQUADRON GOING TO SPAIN.
Expect to start on the Glorious
Fourth.

Washington. June 2S.--The administra-
ton Yesterday finally came to decision
to send an American squadron to the
Spanish coast and into the Mediterra-
mean. Several times since the war broke
out rumors to this effect have been cir
culated, but the project had not materi-
allied. 1t required the Spanish move
mcnt toward the Philippines by Camara 5
squadron to decide the navy department
to adopt this bold stroke.
This first announcement, through
bulletin posted at the war department OF
the governments intention, was received
with incredulity. There was a suspicion
that the story was hoated to deceive the
Spanish government. However, when
later the detail of the vessels selected to
constitute Commodore Watson's eastern
squadron was announced, and official or
ders were given to provision the fleet for
four months, it became apparent to the
last doubter that the government was in
earnest in its purpose to dispatch the
fleet to Europe.
The three vessels selected as golfers
have started already on their way to
Newport News to take on a large supply
of coal. 1t will require a week to get
them down to SIMPSONS fleet, so that if
the start is to be made from that point it
will be impossible for Commodore Wat
son to get away before the 4th of July.
This would seem to be an suspicious date
for the beginning of an expedition that
will, for the first time in the worlds his
tory, start from the new world to attack

THE TARIFF.
The Gold STANDARD and the Protective
Tariff.

SIXTH ARTICLE.
For The Ardmoreite.
Before we had a protective
tariff such things as syndicates,
pools, trusts, millionaires,
strikes, tramps and the gold
standard were unknown in the
United States. These curses of
confidence and modern pros
perity and civilization are all
the children of the protective
tariff. The manner in which
the tariff has enabled favored
classes to absorb the wealth of
the country has been explained
in preceding articles. Having
gotten possession of this wealth,
the next question which pre-
sented itself to it's holders was
as to the best methods of keep
ing it. OF course they would
retain in business that which
was needed to operate their
factories; but what must be
done with the surplus which
was constantly piling up on
their handsG If this surplus was
put into other lines of business
it might be lost. Trusts, pools
and syndicates sometimes fail
and become bankrupt. Again.
if this surplus money was put
into business it would require
care and attention to make the
business profitable. Therefore.
something must be done which
would open up a means of in
vestment for this surplus mon
ey where it would be absolute
ly safe and would bring a good
return and where its holders
would be freed from care and
anxiety, and have nothing to
do except clip coupons from
bonds and spend the interest.
This object they most effectual-
ly accomplished by fixing the
gold standard upon the country.
This gold standard has impov-
erished the working people Of
every country where it has been
adopted. 1t divides the people
into two classes, viz: the very
rich and the very poor. 1t ell
riches the classes, and fixes the
chains of industrial slavery upon
the masses. 1t makes million
aires of few and bondsmen of
honest laborers. This is its
history the world over. In 1873,
when silver was demonetized
and this country was put upon
a gold basis. the farmers of the
West and South we're prosper
Gus. In spite of the high prices
caused by the protective tariff,
they had something left over
each year, because they then
received fair prices for their
products. If they had been let
alone, today they would have
owned the bulk of the wealth of
our land. They had the soil,
the climate and the seasons.
Their country constituted the
natural storehouss, smoke
house and granary of the
world.
By adopting the gold stand
ard, money was made dear, and
the products of the farmers
were made correspondingly
cheap. Prices began to go
down. Gradually the farmers
were forced to spend the sur
plus money which they had
saved, Then they began to
fall behind. But it would not
do to be in a hurry. The trap
was set. The game must not
be frightened until it is caught
in the net. So, occasionally
money matters were made easy
and prices would advance lit
tie. The papers would be full
of talk of returning confidence,
prosperity and booms. This
was only done to deceive the
people and lull them to sleep.

along on nall WnaJ tney neeO.
The necessity of the people is
the opportunity of the specula-
tor and the Shylock. Under
the gold standard protected
classes get, in purchasing pow
er for what they do, as much as
they would get in purchasing
power if they made twice as
much under the double stand
ard. This helps them in more
ways than one. They only
have to purchase from the pro-
ducer half as much raw mater
ial. This lessons the demand
for the raw material and makes
it decline in value. If we had
the double standard of money;
that is, if silver were treated
just as gold is treated. money
would depreciate In value and
the products of labor would
consequently appreciate in val
ue. The people would have
more money because their pro
ducts would bring a higher
price and they would purchase
and consume more goods. This
would increase the demand for
raw material and consequently
it would aid in raising its price.
Under the gold standard the
manufacturers only have to en-
ploy half as many operatives to
run their machinery. This les
sens the demand for factory
hands and reduces their wages.
If we had the double standard
the home manufacturers would
have to manufacture twice as
much as they now manufacture
to make as much in purchasing
power as they now make. This
would force them to employ
twice as many operatives. This
increased demand for labor
would raise the wages of fac
tory hands. Again, home man
ufacturers only have half as
much invested in machinery
and factories as they would be
otherwise forced to invest.
This enables them to withdraw
half of the capital from manu-
featuring and invest 1T in other
lines of business or loan it upon
farms secured by mortgages.
So, it is seen that the manufac-
turer gets as much for his goods
as he would otherwise get and
at the same time has only half
as much capital invested, buys
half as much raw material. gets
that for half price, employs
half as many operatives and
gets them at reduced wages.
But 1t helps them IN another
way. By reducing the price of
the products of labor one-half,
itpractically doubles the wealth
which favored classes have un-
justly wrung from the brow of
labor. Allow an illustration.
If a man has a million dollars
one year and the next year he
has the same million dollars,
but if during this time the
price of property has declined
one-half. it is plain that while
the million dollars remains
nominally no more than it was
the first year, yet as a matter of
fact, its owner is twice as rich
as he was then because he can
purchase twice as much prop
erty as be could then. So, it is
seen that the adoption of the
gold standard doubled the act
ual value of the ill-gotten wealth
of the favored classes.
To my mind it is too clear for
argument that the gold stand
ard was forced On this country
as a result of the protective tar
iff. OF course, the true reason
will never be acknowledged,
but it is a safe rule to presume
that men intend the natural re-

cages which. like drawing bis
ters and eating cancers. are de-
vouring the vitals of the peo-
pie. The protective tariff ac-
cumulated the surplus money,
which demanded a safe invest
ment. This demand for safe
investments resulted in the
gold standard, by which the
farmers are forced to mortgage
their farms. The money for
these mortgages comes from
the East. and was largely OBJ
tained by a protective tariff.
The gold standard forced the
people to mortgage their farms
and homes and pay interest on
money which. morally, was
stolen from them by a set of le-
galized thieves and robbers. 1t
may be said that much of this
money which backs up the
gold standard was obtained Jy
swindling army contracts and
speculations in United States
bonds during the war. This is
true. But if we go to the bot
tom Of this matter it will be
found that the money with
which these operations were
carried on was in the first in
stance principally obtained by
the protective tariff. The pro-
tective tariff is the lump of
leayen which has leavened the
entire loaf of bread. The brood
of political vipers who are now
biting and stinging the people
we'll nigh to desperation if not
to death were Matched from the
nest of the protective tariff.
By means of the protective
tariff and its offspring, the iron
hand of capital with its pitiless,
remorseless, soulless and
crushing power has a death
grip upon the throat of labor.
Things have come to such q
pass that honest labor has no
more a chance for justice upon
American soil than it has under
the worst forms of despotism
of Europe, Asia or Africa. But
it may be said that protected
manufacturers are not respon-
S BILE for the g Id standard and
did not help to fasten it upon
the people, because under the
gold standard the people have
become so poor that they can
not purchase more than half as
much goods as they need and
otherwise would purchase were
it not for the gold standard.and
that in this way the gold stand
ard Injuries the home manufac-
turer. At first siglt this looks
plausible; but there are a num-
Der of conclusive answers to
this proposition. In the first
place. the protected classes are
all strong advocates of the gold
standard. If it injured them
we know that this would not be
the case. They are bound to
be benefited by the gold stand
ard or they would not support
it. These people know their
own interests and work to ad-
vance them, first, last and all
the time. They did not get rich
by giving anything away; they
keep everything they can get
their hands upon-thee Lords
ten commandments alone ex-
cepted. 1t is granted that
they do not sell half
as many goods under the
gold standard as they would
sell without it. If the people
had the money they would pur-
chase twice as much as they do
purchase. All of this talk
about an over-production of
the products of labor is pure
nonsense. There can be no
such thing as over-production

start out in the daytime, they go singly
Creeping up behind the workers in the
fields, they STAY with the spear, and
then, the victim being dead or dis
abled, they finish with the knife. But
at night the hunt is conducted in COM
panies. A house is selected and sur
rounded and the attack is made. Some
times one hunter, less of coward than
the others, creepS up aud sets fire to
the matched shelter. At other times
damp grass smudges are thrust through
the chinks, and the occupants are
smoked out.
When the raid has been successful,
and all the heads possible to get are in
the bags, the hunters return to their
villages to whoop it up. All those who
have stayed behind come out of doors
to welcome their braves. Everyone
shouts and shrieks and howls, making
more noise than the village dogs. which
is saying good deal. The story of the
raid is told amid great excitement and
gesticulation, and the bags are opened
for inspection
The heads are placed in an open
space, and the whole village gathers
round. Beside the heads is placed a
vessel with liquor distilled from the

to be the spirit Of the victims, and
of it is asked the favor of putting the
hunters in the way Of getting more
heads.
Everyone drinks, men, women and
children, and everyone gets drunk.
Their yells, so far as they can be re-

demonstrations are kept up three days,
and then the heads are disposed Of.
Sometimes the heads are put on tripod
poles, and at other times they are left
till the flesh drops off, and then are
put up on the poles. Sometimes the
heads are boiled and the flesh eaten,
and invariably the brains are boiled to
a jelly and devoured with a relish.
That the Chinese, too, are cannibals,
or partially cannibals, is shown by the

The astonishing rapidity with which
the mechanical arts are advancing in
America is illustrated by the develop
ment of the use of compressed air. es-
pecially as applied to hand tools. Tools
driven by compressed air have largely
Eupplanted even the simplest mechani-
cal devices in the railroad shops of Chi
cago. Screws are driven by this pow
er: nuts are turned; holes in steel and
wood are drilled, and in many other
ways has the use of pneumatic tools
Necome not only convenience but a
necessity. They can be handled with
ease and perform the work more quickly
and with less expenditure of labor than
by the old process. Mans power of
adapting the forces of nature to his
ends has no limit apparently. Great
strides already have been made, but
1t is no unwise assumption to say that
no more than a beginning has been
made. The marvels of invention are
bewildering in variety and scope. but
StYn man is not content and leaps from
triumph to triumph.
