DRY GOODS.

New, York, April S.-The attitude Of the
dry goods market Is a waiting one. War
matters still engross the attention of both
buyers and sellers to large extent and
the former are slow to do trading in any
line. The attitude OF sellers is also
waiting one. Staple cottons are the sub
ject of a slightly better demand at the
close of the week than was the case at the
opening. The trade passing is by no means
heavy, however. Brown goods are not in
the brightest figure of the market Print
cloths are still dull. Prints are generally
quiet and unchanged.

Whenever anything is said about the
dangers of corporationism, We are told
that such talk is due to malice or ig-
norance on the part either of dema-
gogues or their deluded followers, says
the Twentieth Century. John Wanl
maker has lately been saying some
thing about the telegraph monopoly
which can scarcely be imputed to ig-
norance and there is no evidence f
malice. Fe makes the circumstantial
charge that the Western Union Tele
graph company is in the habit Of
availing itself of all the information
It derives from kilograms filed with it.
II the contents of those kilograms are
Of value as affording information of
any kind, the corporation gets all the
advantage it can out Of the
fact. That is to say, the
corporation has, in it's monop-
oily, an inestimable means of spying
upon affairs, public and private. John
Wanamaker gave details Of these sys-
tematic espionages that are simply
amazing. They are potent arguments
added to the already numerous argu
ments in favor of government owner
ship of the telegraph system. The re-
form should be no longer delayed,

81 tell you, my friends" said a bic
wasp at a busy-bees' convention, I'm
sick and tired of listening to those dis
gruntled, dissatisfied, dyspeptic, dema-
gogic bees who are continually bowling
against the drones. Why, my friends,
If it wasn't for the drones, you'd starve
to death! Actually starve to death !
The trouble is, you haven't half enough
drones in the hive, that's the reason
you can't get rid of this omnipresent
overproduction which causes hard
times. (Great applause)
Now, let us reason together" con-
tinued the wasp. Its as simple as
A, B, c. The more drones you have,
the more honey is eaten. The more
honey is eaten, the more work you
have producing more honey. Do you
follow me? And work is what you're
always looking for, isn't it? (Great
applause) 9+npn
Now, my friends, / repeat, let us
reason together" continued The wasp.
LET is suppose you didn't have a
single drone in the hive. What the
deuce would you do with all your
honey, I'd like to know"
CA voice why, eat it ourselves. of
counsel" Cries of Order! Order!
Police!)
"And If you didn't have drones,"
continued the wasp after the commo-
ton had subsidized, who'd support
your churches and seminaries? Who'd
endow your hospitals and libraries
Who'd subsidize yonr colleges and
newspapers? Who'd contribute to
your soup houses and foreign missions
I'd like to know! Why, my friends,
If you didn't have drones, you wouldn't
have any one to be kind to you and
give you charity! You wouldn't
have"

THE WAR REVENUE BILL.
The Title That Ought to BE GiveI
Dlngley's Measure.

The Title That Ought to BE Given
Dingley's Measure.
Dingleys war revenue bill ought to
be ehtitled "A bill to more thoroughly
commit the United States to re sin
gle gold standard, and to II in the
establishment Of bank rule in the
United States" says the Silver Knight
Waterman. The committee estimates
that the increased revenue by taxation
will be from 500, 100000 to $190, 0O0, 900,
as follows: -Fermented liquor, $35, O00,-
900; tobacco, s15,OOO,O0O; cigars, $5,-
100000; dealers in tobacco and cigars.
$4,000, 900; stamp taxes on documents,
kilograms, etc., 30,00O,OO0; stamp tax
on wines, mineral waters, etc. ,undeter-
mined; tonnage tax on vessels engaged
in foreign trade, $2,OOO,OOO. The bill
Is elaborate and complicated in de-
tail. It consists of forty-four pages.
and II enacted into law it's administra-
tion will be most vexatious and an
noying. 1t reaches every branch Of
business and trade, and complexities
every transaction with stamp duties
too numerous and complex for descrip-
ton.
The bill also provides for issuing
$5OO,o00.OOO Of twentyyear three per
cent bonds and $1O0,OOO,OOO of short
time per cent bonds If this scheme
is carried into effect the Gage and the
Indianapolis currency schemes will be
practically accomplished. When the
taxes proposed in the bill are once
levied they will remain in peace as
well as in war, while a gold standard
president Is in Office. The $220,00O,0O0
now in the treasury, the s6OO,0OO,000
Of bonds and the $1O0,0O000O surplus
revenue which the new tax law would
produce will soon cover into the treas
ury all the greenbacks, treasury notes
and silver certificates now outstanding
unless the expenses of the war shall
far exceed the most extravagant esti-
mates which have been made.
The new per cent bonds just fits
the proposed banking scheme. No
further legislation would be necessary
to retire all government money but
gold to make room for bank currency.
All the amendment to the banking law
which would be necessary would be
to authorize the banks to receive cur
rency from the government equal to
the par value of their bonds. The cold
blooded proposition of the committee
to load the people with excessive taxa
tion and load the government with
100000, 900 of new bonds is as desti-
tute of patriotism as Shylock was of
charity and benevolence.

Work is the producer of wealth. How,

throwing the burden of their work up
on their fellows. An English writer

tueTo. uc ITcSiutDt VI IuC ohAeO~
States Is the personal protege OF their
agent, Mark Hanna, of the Steel trust.
The speaker Of the house Is their tool
ready to resort to any desperate means
to gag protest against them. They
have entrenched themselves in the
Supreme court. They are ready with
government by injunction and govern
ment by bayonet, If need be, to compel
acquiescence. And being so. they cry
out now that objections to their de-
mand for more bonds Is unpatriotic.
1t Is not worth while to argue that
point. 1t is better to state and re-
state, as often as possible, the plain
fact that these men are thieves, who
make business of wholesale larceny,
and that they stand ready to loot the
national treasury as they did In the
civil war-or, for that matter, as they
did in the only too recent past. when
they had their beneficiary Cleveland in
power at Washington.
Plutocracy is corrupting the coun'
try, not only in politics, but In social
life. It leads to base sensuality,
which shows itself in art, literature,
even in religion. The churches where
plutocrats most abound have carriage
entrances as the most conspicuous fea-
lures of their architecture-as II My
Lord Dives, enriched with the plum
der of the earth, and swollen with lux
urious living passed the possibility OF
climbing the steep and narrow way on
foot, could drive up to heavens gate
in his equipage and order the keeper
Of the keys to let down the carriage
steps for him.
And these men are wicked in the
most literal sense. Their pride Is in
tolerable. Their contempt for human
rights is supreme. Their determine
ton to retain control of the country at
any cost is desperate. Their alliances
are with Europe, and their sympathies
are with European monarchies rather
than with America. They are impe-
rialists, haters Of popular government
and popular liberties. They are pre-
pared for any fraud, for any bloodshed
they think necessary for the mainte-
nance of their power.
These plutocrats have worked for q
year or more to force some kind or
bond deal in connection with Cuba.
They are directed from the back rooms
of the Rothschilds in London, and the
New York newspapers which best rep
resent that interest are now working
to force new bond issues enough to
give the Rothschild banks in this
country control Of the currency on a
basis Of corporation notes instead OF
money of the mints.
They will get their bond issues and
everything else they demands from
this administration. But If the DEM
ocrats of Congress have the courage
to force issues on them by demanding
the opening of them into and the i'm
mediate submission of an income tax
amendment to raise money for war
purposes, the people will rise in such
revolt against plutocracy as has never
been seen before. They will rise, at
any rate. And they will win their
fight in any event. All they lack now
is leadership from men as sternly hon
est in their purposes, as uncompromis-
