hours and talked fast at that, and al
though for time he sacrificed the
popularity of his talk to his argument,
he was given the closest attention
from start to finish, and for the most
part his talk was epi@ram matte and
eloquent to degree that would stand
parison with most orations that
have been heard here. Mr.. Debs
makes two declarations in his own be-
half-that his criticisms of what he
considers typical existing conditions
are not aimed Individuals, and that
he is thoroughly optimistic in believ1
ing that through an increased intelli-
gence of the labor classes they will
work out their own salvation. He
looks forward to universal cooperative
industry. Competition, he said, means
the survival of the slickest.' He
dealt at length with the machine
made tramp" The tramp is your
brother and my brother,'' he de-
clared, your disgrace and my dis
grace" As a general rule the tramp
was the unfortunate victim of cir
cumstances he did not create and
could not control. In fullnesS of
time, however, both the tramp and
the millionaire would pass away.
''Shrouds have no pockets" declared
the speaker, and he expressed his
sympathy for the very rich as well as
the very poor. The man of great
wealth he looked upon as victim
especially his son. Not alive enough
to live, or dead enough to bury" was
his compliment to the average sons
and daughters of upper-tendom in the
centers OF fashion. The child feeds
the machine, the machine starves the
child" was his summing up of child
labor in the big factories.
"A strike is Il question of a stom-
ach against a bank vault. If corpor-
ate capital had an arm that could
reach from here to the sun, there
would be a meter on every sun beam,
and they say every American may
aspire to we president, but there are
millions of them who would swap
their chances of the presidency for a
good square meal, - ere some of his
striking sayings that illustrate the
trend of his lecture.

Session of the Tri-City
Congress.
TO INVESTIGATE A TAX CASE.

Claim That n Discrimination Has Been
Savings Bank-Iandamus Proceedings
recommended Various Other Matters
Receive Attention.
The December meeting of the Tri-
City Labor congress, held Yesterday
afternoon at the Industrial Home, at
tracted large attendance of delegates.
President Benton Davis. of Moline.
occupied the chair, and for three hours
the body devoted itself to various
matters concerning the welfare OF the
laboring people. Resolutions were
passed condemning the manufacture
of the Buck Stove and Range company,
approving the boycott instituted by
the St. Louis molders, and requesting
dealers to quit handling the goods,
and committees being delegated to
call on merchants. The action of
Young IL MeCombs in refusing to
longer sell the Buck goods brought
forth an expression of appreciation
on the part of the congress, which
ratified the resolution as adopted by
the Rock Island holders and Stove
Mouuters' unions.
Reports from committca "0Dointed
on the matter at the last meeting
showed that about 5000 had already
been contributed for the relief of the
families of the Nirden victims.
A committee was appointed to in
vestigate an alleged discrimination
ma de by the county board in favor of
the Moline State Savings bank. 1t
was claimed the bank had secured Il
reduction in its assessment amount
ing to $4,000, having represented
that it had taken some $50. 900 from
its capital stock and invested it in
real estate, and that both properties
had been assessed, thereby working
an in Justice on the institution. One
delegate recommended that the county
clerk be mandamused and compelled
to extend the assessment as originally
made.
Samuel Pascoe, organizer for the

dressed the congress on the situa-
ton in the state, saying that it

UNCLE SAN SUFFERS

All kinds of jobbery in army con-
tracts are reported, from which it would
seem that the systematic robbery per-
pesrated during the civil war, in its
halcyon days, was thrown in the shade.
Regarding contracts let for the uni.
forms! which the U. S. soldiers wear
in Cuba or the Philippines, a we'll in
formed writer in New York journal
says: A contract for brown linen
uniforms for the troops has been given
out. Thirty thousand suits are 20 be
made by Bierman, Heidelburg & Co..
of new York, at 1882 suit. The suit
consists of blouse and trousers This
firms bid was the highest that was
submitted to the quartermaster-
general. 1t is claimed that other
manufacturers offered to furnish uni
forms made of identically the same
material about S1.50 less per suit.

BIG BOND SUBSCRIPTION.

The total subscriptions offered for
the war loan is shown to have been
S290, 900, 900 up to the first of July. As
the call was for only 5000, 1000 900, the
result shows unquestionably that the
people of America haye implicit con.
fidence i'll the stability of the govern
ment and are anxious to invest their
money in its securities.
A few people of course, offered to
subscribe for the bonds from a purely
patriotic standpoint, believing they
were coming to the relief of the govern
menJ in a time of need, but the major
ity of the subscribers looked at the
matter solely from business stand
point, and sought the bonds as fan in
vestment for their capital They realize
that the securities of the government
are gilt-edged property, exempt from
taxation. and while the interest is
low compared with money invested in
less certain securities. they are con-
vinced of the steady advance in the
purchasing price of money, and feel
assured that at the expiration of the
time the bonds are to run, their inter
est will have as great purchasing
power as higher rate has now. The
example of this response to the call
for a loan shows that the American
people are drifting toward a money
loaning community, and that they pre-
fer to invest their money in securities
that insure small income to putting
it into active business. The tendency
is not a good omen, for there must be
some producers as we'll IS large body
of bankers.

rs NOT 4 CALAMITY.

Under ordinary circumstances the
resignation of the premier of nation
in time of war would be a calamity,
but the resignation of Sagasta at this
time cannot be considered detrimental
to the Spanish government. Were it
possible for Spain to successfully wage
the present war much longer it
would be serious matter for the
head of the government to step down,
but this is impossible. The ultimate
result of the war is now settled. Spain
must soon sue for peace, and negotia.
tions can better be arranged with a
new cabinet than an old one. Sagasta
and his cabinet have failed to accom-
plish what they promised, hence have
lost the confidence of the people. De.
feat awaits them, and all they can now
do is to turn the government over to
others who may successfully neg otiate
terms of peace. The new cabinet, if it
secures peace or anything like favor
able terms to Spain, will have the
confidence of the masses, and the
crown may live, but any terms Sagasta
might have accepted would be distaste-
full 20 the people, and would most like
ly haYe resulted in the down of the
government. At this especial time,
Sagasta's resignation may be looked
upon as a blessing rather than detri
ment to Spain.

TOO SOFT.

The dispatches give an account ot
the farewell of Captain Merou, com
mander of the Cristobal Colon, of his
men at Portsmouth, when they were
placed in the military prison at that
place, that is really pathetic. but ii
cannot touch the heart of lover OF
liberty to the extent that it would
bring tears to bis eyes. Captain Mer-
GU was no doubt attached to his men,
but when it comes to Spanish naval
officer kissing each of his men and
shedding great crockodile tears be-
cause he and his crew have been taken
prisoners, the scene has a little too
much of the ridiculous in il to be
truly pathetic.
The Spanish officer no doubt felt his
position keenely, but he had no tears
to shed for the Cuban women and
children whom his government has
starved to death. The emanciated
forms of the concentrates did not
loom up as a mighty nightmare to
cause him sorrow: their sufferings
were as naught to him, but when as a
priosner of war, he was compelled to
bid farewell to the men who had SER
we'd under him,th dispatches say his
grief was something terrible. He
like Weyler and Blaaco, are detected
when misfortune overtakes them ana
can shed tears, but they have no SYM
pathy for the people whom they have
prosecuted for years. The tears OF
CAPTAIN Merou are too seft at this
time to elicit much sympathy.

Internal Revenue Collector Dunno
of Portland has given an opinion that
the revenue law is retroactive in that
it requires deeds, mortgages and other
instruments executed prior TO July l,
but presented for record after that
date, to bear a stamp, the same as
those executed after that date. The
law applies to all instruments subject
to a stamp tax, recorded from and
after July l, without reuard to date.
Of late Uucle Sam has filed a pre-
emption on considerable amonnt of
territory. The Hawaiian islands have
been -empted, and final proof will
be perfected in short time; the
Philippines and Ladrone islands have
been filed on, and Cuba and Porto
Rico will soon be numbered among
the acquisitions, but the title to them
is not clear. However, Uncle Sam
can be depended upon to adjust these
cases equitablv, and it is only ques-
tion of time when they will become
states, though there should be no
haste in the matter. The people of
these islands should be given choice
to scide whether they want an in
dependent government or whether
they will oe annexed to the land of
the free.
