THE PURCHASE OF CUBA.

How much or how little truth there may be
in the report-which pops up at intervals in
the newspapers engaged in the vigorous prose
cuton Of the war at the rate of seventy-five
editions day-that the detestablc money
power Is engaged IN n scheme to purchase Cuba
and remove the casus belli we have no means
OF knowing Judging from the tone Of these
newspapers. the money power is ready to do
almost anything mean and undermined to oh
struct the patriotic plans of the warat-any-
price journals for maintaining the National
honor With the periodical recurrence of these
reports the newspapers in question fill their
columns with denunciations of the money
power In the largest type and loudest language.
Shall the National honor be sacrificed" they
ask, Eat the behest Of the money power merely
ito avert financial disturbance and prevent a
"fal In stocks? Are we ready to barter our
'honor for paltry goldi Shall we permit the
"ignoble cowardice of the money power to make
towards OF us alp One day they tell us that
the country is ripe for war, that the people are
eager for It, and will never be satisfied unless
they have II, and that the President Is fully
determined 10 cry havoc and let slip the dogs:
and the next day they tell u.s. with shame and
indignation, that he has been overrued by the
money power in the person Of Senator Hanna
or is closeted with the representatives OF a
syndicate Of capitalists, who propose to buy
Cuba outright and make end of the whole
business
Whether the money power IS ready to buy
Cuba or not, We have, as already said, no means
Of knowing. But, as It always takes two to
make a bargain, 1t seems certain that II It
is not for sale nobody Will be able to buy
It And whatever may happen In the future,
however circumstances may effect a change In
existing conditions It appears to be safe to
say that Cuba Is not now In the market Spain
has not put any price upon the island; has not
even indicated a willingness to sell under any
conceivable conditions On the contrary, II
well-authenteated reports from high official
quarters are true, the Spanish authorities have
expressed nm unalternbe determination not to
sell at any price entertain IN offer for the
island. There is every reason TO credit these
reports. since 1t is matter OF public notoriety
and universal belief that any step In TINT di-
rection by the Government would preclp,tote
revolution. True. changes in the existing sit,,.
alton are possible that may lend some
thing like fexIbility to what IL now declared
10 be An unalterable purpose. That has some
times happened in the history OF Governments.
