monkey, with superior business abll-
ity, to claim all the springs Of water In
the forest as his own, because Of some
alleged bargain made by their ances-
tors 500 years ago?
Do they allow a small gang OF mon
key lawyers to so tangle up their con-
ceptions of ownership that few will
obtain possession Of everything?
Do they appoint few monkeys to
govern them and then allow those ap-
pointed monkeys to rob the tribe and
mismanage all its affairs?
Do they build up monkey city and
then hand over the land, and the paths.
and the trees, and the springs. and
the fruits to a few monkeys who sat on
a log and chartered whilo all the work
was going on?
No, my friend, monkeys have a wiser
system of municipal government than
that.
Although Kipling speaks Of them In
his jungle-book as "the people who
have no law" yet they have laws
enough to prevent the private owner
ship Of public franchises.
II Prof. Garner, who claims to have
learned 40 words of the monkey lam
guage, were to escort some reflective
chimpanzee around one Of our cities,
the professor would find 1t rather diff
ficult to explain some Of the manners
and customs Of a civilized world.
The chimpanzee would be amazed
to see q 100000 house, with 40 rooms,
contain only a millionaire and his
wife and ten servants, while $4,000
tenement, with 20 rooms, contained 40
people and no servants.
He would be still further astounded
to see the warehouse district, where
an abundance of everything was stored,
close to the slum district, where the
people lacked the barest necessities OF
life.
He would be shocked to see an en-
tire street railway system, with hun
dreds of miles Of tracks, thousands
of cars and employees, and carrying
millions of passengers every year, abb
solutely owned and controlled by three
or four men who never built car or
drove a spike.
But when the professor would ex-
plain to him that nine-tenths OF the
people in the city were quite content
10 endure such evils, and, in fact, grew
quite angry with any one who pro-
posed to remove them, the chimpan-
zee would say: Take me back to the
forest, and may the Good Spirit deliver
us from civilizatienw-Rev Herbert

As to Uniforms.

President Mckinley never wears
uniform of any kind, nor is it custom
airy for the President of the United
States to do so. When soldier, like
General Grant, for example, is elected
to civil Office he lays aside his mill
tary trappings and always appears in
civilian dress. There is no distinctive
costume for the President, nor any
civil officer except letter carriers and
similar employees of the public service,
whose duties make it necessary for
them to be distinguished in some way
from other people. In other American
republics and in France the case is diff
ferent. The presidents of these ma
tions on ceremonial occasions appear
in gorgeous uniforms and usually wear
swords. The diplomatic reg ulations. Of
the United States permit ministers
and consuls who served in the civil
war or the regular army to wear the
uniforms of their highest brevet rank,
but those who have seen no military
service are directed to ar pear in simple
evening dress without decorations.

America Becoming q Plutes' Paradise

Henry George, Jr., visiting In Eng
land, concludes that the British priv
LEGGED class regard the United States
with friendly feeling. They realize
that there is discrimination in behalf
of wealth here, and that while the ad-
vance of democracy is threatening
privileges in Britain, the decadence OF
democracy concurrently with the con-
centration of wealth and growth OF
colossal fortunes is extending and
strengthening them in the United
States. 1t is natural that they should
like a country whose producers are so
Indifferent to their own welfare as to
tax themselves in preference to taxing
the incomes of the opulent, and that
they should wish to preserve 1t as a
refuge to which they may fly and re-
tain their privileges when through
acts of parliament the British democ-
racy have obliterated the privileges
they now enjoy. The reason for Brit
ish friendship for the United States Is
such as may we'll cause Americans to
pause and ask If this Is In reality
such a government as the fathers OF
the republic intended and as 1t should

that the rain was any mans rain, no

rain and umbrellas have gone together
and there is no reason why they
should be separated in law. An

Mr.. Sauerbeck's index number Of the
prices of commodities for August shows
that the downward movement which
set in after May still continues. The
figure for last month was GA, against
1914 in May-the highest attained this
year. The following table shows the
index number for each month OF the
present year in comparison with the
annual averages since 1890:
Average of 1891. ~ January, 1898. .62.S
Average of 1892. .6SIFeb., 1892. 80. .e3.4

The main single factor in the de-
cline since May, as in the previous
rise, was the price of wheat. At the
end of May the Gazette" average OF
English wheat was ATS. Cd. per quar-
ter. It has since dropped to 3os. I'd.
Movements upward or downward in
the prices of other commodities were
not very important last month. On
comparison of the averages of the two

manufacturing materials 1t appears
that whilst the average number OF the
former is nearly per cent higher
than at the close of last year, that OF
the latter is fully per cent higher

Come my wife, lay down the Bible.
Lay your glasses on the book;
Both of US are bent and aged
Backward, mother. let us look.
There is still the same o,d homestead,
Where l brought you lcng ago,
When the hair was bright with sunshine
That is now like winters snow.
Let us talk about the babies.
AS we sit here all alone;
Such a merry troop Of youngsters
How we lost them one by one.
Jack. the first OF all our party.
Came to us one winters night.
Jack. you said should be parson.
Long before he saw the light.
Do you see the great cathedral,
Filled the transept and the nave.
Hear the organ gladly pealing.
Watch the silken hangings waveT
See the priest in robes of office,
with the altar at his back,
Would you think that gifted preacher
Could be our own little Jack?
Then, a girl with curly tresses
Used to climb upon my knee
Like n little fairy princess,
Ruling at the age of three.
With the years there came wedding
How your fond heart swelled with pride
When the lord of all the country
Chose your baby for his bride!
Watch that stately carriage coming,
And the form reclining there
Would you think that brilliant lady
Could be our own little Clare?
Then. the last, a blue-eyed youngster-
can hear him prattling now
Such strong and sturdy fellow,
With his broad and honest brow.
How he used to love his mother!
Ah l see your trembling lip!
He is far off on the water.
Captain of royal ship.
See the bronze upon his forehead.
Hear the word of stern command
That's the boy who chung so fondly
To his mothers gentle hand.
All! my wife, we've lost the babies,
Ours SO long, and ours alone,
What are we to those great people,
Stately men and women grown.
Seldom do we even see them:
Yes, bitter tear drop starts
AS we sit here in the freight,
Lonely hearth. and lonely hearts.
All their lives are full without US;
They'll stop long enough one day
Just to lay us in the churchyard.
Then they'll each go on his way.

Some few Americans found oppor-
tunity to talk with Admiral Cervera's
sailors, who were for several weeks
imprisoned at Seavey's island, Maine.
The effect Of these conversations upon
the Americans was, uniformly, to in
spire sympathy for the Spaniards
themselves, and to encourage more
hopeful view of the future Of Spain.
Most Of the prisoners proved to be
conscripts, forced into the navy be-
cause they could not pay $500 to buy
exemption. Naturally there was no
"heart" in their fighting. They hated
their own oppressive government, and
they fet no bitterness toward the men
1t had sent them out to-kill. Many OF
them would have been glad to remain
in this country. All Of them learned
to respect it. The thoughtful generos-
ity with which these prisoners were
treated taught them lesson in civili-
cation. They are certain to impart 1t
to their friends at home. An American
who has lived in Spain for many years
assures us that Spaniards will heed
and profit by it.

Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1898-11-04
The Chinese Markets.

Possibly the greatest problem that
confronts the captains of American IN
dustries is to find markets sufficiently
large to keep all American plants run
ming all the time. At present, and for
some years past, the demand for prod
ucts has been inadequate to warrant
the employment Of full forces of men
and continuous operation. Cotton mills
are running SO slack that some cotton
growers are refusing to even pick this
years crop. What this means to the
employee or to him who would be an
employe needs no long explanation.
The greater the demand for employees,
the better situated they are. The
question Is one that concerns capital
lists and laborers alike. In very great
degree both prosper and languish to-
gether.
The introduction of labor-saving ma
chinery is the chief cause of this con-
dition. 1t carries its ultimate remedy
with it, because labor-saving machin-
cry is making 1t possible to crafty de-
sires that the masses could not here
tofore crafty, and the consequence will
be that as human desires and their
means of qualification increase, en-
ployment will be at hand for all. Hours
no doubt will he much shorter, COM
pensation reckoned per hour greater,
and efficiency per hour so much en-
HANGED that the products of labor will
be even lower in price than now.
While this is true, 1t is also true that
this adaptation to new conditions is
not progressing as fast as could be
desired, and as would be necessary in
order that every person thrown out of
employment by laborsaving machin-
cry might Immediately have at COM
mand position even as good as the
one lost.
But manner Of obtaining instant
relief is at hand. 1t lies in the eX
tension of American markets, not so
much in the direction Of Europe, where
our possibilities are by the nature Of
things limited. as in the creation and
opening Of Asiatic markets, Of which
China is the chief. Few people in the
United States have the slightest con-
ception of what the opening of China
will mean to their commercial inter-
ests. The competition for the trade
of the Orient is becoming more fierce
every year, one might say almost ev-
cry month, and when the gates are
finally opened and 1t becomes possible
to trade with China as we now trade
with Europe, the rush for commercial
concessions will be something terrific.
At present England is far in the lead,
followed by America, Germany Japan
and Russia in the order named. Ger
many is exerting all its influence to-
ward obtaining and maintaining COM
mercial supremacy in China, and
where, years ago, the shopkeepers
would say, This is English" they now
point to the familiar stamp Made in
Germany" AS a result of this effort
it may be noted that three years ago
the number Of vessels entering and
clearing from Chinese ports showed
2114O flying the British flag and 1858
flying the German flag, while in 1897
the number of British vessels fell to
1873, while the Germans increased to
2,O61. Japan and Russia are also rap
idly forging ahead.

few years in supplying its own market
