Yet We PITY EurOpe.

The following extract from a speech
in the United States senate by Senator
]. L. McLaurin will be both interesting
and surprising. 1t suggests that we
should either insist on getting the worth
of our heavy taxation or reduce it:
"Prior to 1860 the expenditures of the
federal government per capita ranged
from $I.35 to $500. They now range
from S to IS. In addition to this, the
state expenditures average 1910 per
capita, total Of between SI4 and SIS
per capita. As compared with these ex-
penditures the Statesinan's Year Book
gives the per capita of expense of Aus
tria at SI.5I; Russia, S2.75; the German
empire, including state expense, $3.50;
the British empire, including colonial ex-
penses, 1897; Japan, $3.50; Portugal,
$I.oS; Mexico, 1886 Prior to 1860 the
people of the United States were freer
from the burdens of taxation than the
people of almost any any other civilized
country. Today they pay heavier taxes
than the people Of any other civilized
nation"
This enormous burden is paid ulti-
mately as all taxes are bylabor. A large
portion Of this is entirely unnecessary.
Eighty per cent of the government ex-
penses are for war purposes and much Of
the remainder is squandered. No such
reckless extravaganza and wanton waste
of the money has ever been known in
any civilized country as can be now
charged to the party in power. A gov
eminent for the classes and by the clas-
ses without regard to expenses, and labor
foots the bills.

Truths From Francis A Willard

The real and true advocates and teach
ers of Christianity as Christ taught it,
zOday are the Christian Socialists. Of all
the number the most exalted in life and
character was Francis A. Willard, late
president of the W.C.T.U. Had she
Lived few years longer not even her
exalted character and spotless life and
wonderful intellectual powers could have
saved her from the attacks made upon all
true advocates Of Christianity as Christ
taught it. How true are the following
words of this noble woman spoken short,
1s before her death:
81 have become an advocate of such q
change in social conditions as shall STAMP
out the disease and contagion of poverty
even as medical science is stamping out
1eprosy, smallpox and cholera; and
believe the age in which we live will vel
be characterized as one Of those dark,
dismal and damning ages when some
people were so dead to the love of thei1
kind that they left them in poverty with.
czt q heartache or blush.
Poverty is disease; it has no right
TO be. 4 \ In the past we have
Somforted ourselves with looking upon
II as the effect of wrong-doing, but have
aroused ourselves to the study of it as q
cause. We are determined to burn out

How Does This Ln0k2

For the first two months of the new
fiscal year our government has expended
SIo2, 969, o9o.33, Of which 81, oS6, 469.S
has gone for the support of the civil and
miscellaneous establishment, and all the
rest for military expenses of one kind or
another. The army got S34,2 ,oSo.o6,
the navy, and interest on the war debt,
$9,I53,S45.3S, a total Of the military
side Of the ledger of 79,I53,S45.64, at
the rate of s47A959.S4 a year for war like
out-goes, while the total cost of the civil
establishment was at the annual rate OF
SI26, 1873, 960.S6.
Almost So per cent. Of the expenses Of
the government for war like out-goes and
this a Christian nation. Even should
the present war end soon, we have a
standing army of nearly 10000, the
navy is being increased and there can be
no considerable decrease in this class of
expenditures. The immense load, those
who labor, must bear. We are rapidly
approaching old world conditions. That
is the desire of those in power and well
are they succeeding.

"a Matter Of Common Concern.

This is the heading Of an article in
the Western Christian Advocate, the
official organ of the ME-. church at Gin
cinnati. In speaking of the Chicago
carnival it says:
"The writer looked in vain for a single
window of a den of vice in which the
picture OF William Mckinley, president
Of the United States, did not appear.
1t is not fair to criticise the president
for the mere fact that his picture appears
in such a place. The proprietors OF
these dens could put the picture of the
editor of this paper there if they chose.
But it is respectfully submitted for the
consideration Of the reader, that when
President Mckinley became on Friday,
at Peoria, the guest of Mr.. Greenhut,
the head Of the whiskey trust, of the
United States, who spent $50, 900 in deco
rating his house for the event; when he,
sitting on Monday night at the banquet
in the auditorium at Chicago, in plain
sight Of two editors of this paper, al
lowed his glass to be filled, time after
time, from the bottles of the waters,
who, according to the menu card, we're
distributing 'sauterre,' sherry 'claret,
champaign and Iquors'-he in the
meantime, emptying it as often-it is
submitted that, when these things are
considered, it is perfectly fair to say that
President McKinley's picture fitted the
hell-holes that it adorned"
This editorial might have gone further.
1t might have told of the army canteen
(saloon) restored; Of placing "Old
Glory, over the Sulu Islands and the
guaranteeing protection and support to
polygamy aud slavery there; if $500 sa-
looms established in the wake of the
United States armies in Cuba and Porto
Rico, and nearly 500 of the same in
Manila and more to follow; of the BAN
quet at the White House in honor of
Dewey when most of the expense, $1,000,
was for liquor, and of what he himself,
a few months ago styled Criminal Ag-
gression," the murder of thousands of
helpless people who never in any way
wronged us, we would suggest. to some
who boast so loudly that we have as
president an exemplary Christian, that
no better friend of the liquor interests,
no man more ready to do as the Romans
do when in Rome ever occupied the pres
idential chair.

A Significant Warning.

The following from the New York
Tribune comes not from any love of
justice or interest in or care for the conf
mon people; but from fear Of the con-
sequences to the wealthy of a continuance
of Corporate Anarchism,"
eve see today, however, the amazing
and revolving spectacle of industrial cor
porations defying law, violating order
and practicing anarchisn. In playing
ducks and brakes with law and order cor
porations are playing the game and into
the hands of their worst enemy. The
worst of social order today is not the
beery brawler, but the law-breal;ing or
law-evading corporation, in its insolence
of wealth and influence. Corporate an
archiSin-that is the enemy"
Well may they fear for the common
people-those who toil-will some day be
aroused and demard justice and when
they do justice will be given. When
justice prevails the accumulation of in
ordinate wealth and privileges of the
classes will be at an end
Once the people become aroused as they
will if the intensifying of present
conditions continue which is certain, the
cry will go up that there must be an end
to the increase of the present inordinat(
fortunes as there was that slavery should
extend no farther; it will end with nc
millionaires or millionaire estates and thai
by legal and proper means, the same a.
slavery was not only stopped in it
course, but abolished. As no one coul(
now bring back slavery so after thi
greater change and greater revolution
no, one would go back to presen
conditions.

When Mckinley swung around the
circle" recently his entertainers were al
most always trust magnates. In one
city, Peoria, H., he dined with
Mr.. Greenhut, the president of the
whiskey trust, was taken over the
CITY BY the president of the pillow COM
bine and warmed himself in the paylors
of the president Of the coal combine.
This was sample day. No wonder he
ends prosperity wherever he goes. He
IS entertained by his friends. Those who
elected him once and who will furnish an
unlimited fund to do it again. Those who
are the benefciaries of the admnistra-
ZION as they are now All they ask is to
be let alone or to have some law like the
Sherman antitrust law which if used at
all will be turned against labor and in
their favor.

Full well know that majority OF
Il ose who read these lines will first OF
all call me crank, and then find leap
ing to their lips His words who SAID,
The poor We have always with you BY
such evasions is Christ blasphemed, who
stated to the people of that time one OF
the blacklist facts in their hypocritical
record, but whose gospel is the gunpow-
der of poverty; and one of the ground
principles of whose earthly church, Cod
made, was this, that they had all things
in common.
81 would take, not by force, but by
the slow process Of lawful acquisition
through better legislation, as the out
come of wiser ballot in the hands OF
men and women, the entire plant that
we call civilization, and all that has been
achieved on this continent in the four
hundred years since Columbus wended
his way hither, and make it the common
property of all the people, requiring all
to work enough with their hands to give
them the finest physical development,
but not to become burdensome in any
case, and permitting all to share alike
the advantages of education and refine
ment. l believe this to be perfectly
practicable; indeed, that any other meth
cd is simply relic of barbarism. | be-
lieve with Frederick Maurace, of Eng
land, that it is infdel for any one to say
that the law of supply and demand is as
changeless as the law of gravltation,
which means that competition must for
ever prevail. l believe competition IS
doomed. The trust, whose sole object it
is to abolish competition, has proven
that we are better off without than with
it the moment any corporation controls
the supply of any product. What a so.
cialist desires is that the corporation OF
humanity should control all production.
Beloved comrades, this is the fric-
tionless way, it is the higher law; it
eliminates the motives for a selfish life;
it enacts into our everyday living the
ethics of Christ's gospel. Nothing else
will do it, nothing else can bring the glad
day of universal brotherhood. ="

1t makes big difference whose OK is

It makes big difference whose OK is
gored. The paper trust with a capital of
SIS, ooo, coo mostly water, having ben
eft of a IS per cent. tariff has raised the
price of paper from IS per cent. to 33H
per cent, and now the trust, protection
organs are all crying out for the abolu-
non of this tariff. It is no doubt true
shat the increase in prices would be I'M
possible without the tariff; but the same
s true Of hundreds of other articles.
Tie light is dawning. The only way to
reach some people is through the pocket
book. Once let this placing of trust
protected articles on the free list and il
will not stop with paper.
The tin plate trust closed So mills and
then the CRY went forth that prosperity
was crowding the mills so hard that they
could not fill the orders fast enough.
The managers say they cleared 20 pei
cent. when the price of tin was only
$3.50 per box, this was Just before the
Mckinley bill went into effect, and since
tin has raised to S5.65 per box. This i.

be best that these great combinations Of

Niles, Michigan, town Of only 5000
inhabitants, owns its own electric light
plant. 1t costs the city only S25.4S per
annum for its street arc lamps.
Why cannot Wellington do this we'll?
This is less than one-haif what any pri-
vate owned plant in the state charges.
The usual price is three times this. The
average charge for public owned plants
IN the United States is about one-half as
great as for private owned. The change
from private to public ownership is go
ing on rapidly in furnishing both light
and water. Only three of the larger
cities in the United States have private
owned water plants.

A Meek and Quiet Spirit.

The apostle tells US that meek ana
quite spirit is, in the sight OF Coo, OF
great price. It is also of great COM
fort and value to one who possesses u.
The duties and incidents of this lie
are often very disquieting and perpiex,,
ing. Notice that mother with several
small children to look after and the
cares of the household pressing upon
her. Or notice that father with MS
farm to manage, or his shop to direct,
or his business affairs pressing upon
him. How are they to escape worry
and perplexity? There Is one never
failing remedy. 1t is this: In the
morning, before taking up the WORK OF
the day, spend a few minutes IN a
quiet nook, seeking the blessing OF q
meek and quiet spirit. God has often,
in answer to prayer, quieted the chafed
and worried spirit, and he STANDS
ready to do SO for every one VINO
devoutly seeks that great blessing.
This is not mere guess 1t is only q
bit of actual personal experience. Try
the plan for yourselves.
