In Colorado the Smelter Trust is
opposing the eight-hour labor law,
which recently became effective in
that state, and in consequence of
which strike to enforce the obser-
vance of the law was inaugurated
by the employees of the smelters,
several weeks ago. The strike is
still on and the smelters say they
will close down permanently rath-
or than submit to the demands of
the employees. Very little has
been heard heretofore of this smelt-
er Trust, more especially through
the Democratic papers, who have
ostensibly inaugurated war upon
all trusts, yet the Smelter Trust is
one Of the strongest combines in
the country. 1t was this combina-
tion which was, and still is, behind
the Democratic free silver move
ment. 1t Furnished the sinews OF
war for Bryan's campaign in 1896
and will furnish them again in 1900.
ifBryan is the Democrat nominee in
that year. That is the reason sc
little is being said in the Bryanite
organs about the great octupus OF

Witness Fees and Jury Warrants.

The late Legislature enacted a
law which provides that persons
who are delinquent in their taxes
cannot collect either witness fees in
criminal cases or jury warrants
until their taxes are paid. Such
taxes constitute a prior claim AMI
it makes no difference who pur-
chases them. the claims are first sub
ject to the lien for the taxes. The
Collector is required to furnish the
Treasurer with lists of the de!in-
qucnts to the end that no errors
may be made. The law has been
approved by the Governor, and,
as there is an emergency clause
attached, it is now in effect. The
following extracts from the meas
ure as passed makes its provisions
plain: "Before- any such fees shall
be paid Che party to whom the
same is d;,e shall furnish satisfac-
tory eyides,ce to the Treasurer that
he or she, rs the case may be, is

The Crime of 1899.

a dispatch from Johnston, Pa,
tells that the Cambridge Steel Com
pany has posted notices Of a sgcn-
eral advance of wages of 10 per
cent" A few days ago an an
nouncement was made that "an
advance, amounting on the average
to about 81 a day had been dcclar-
ed in the wages of 5000 iron and
steel workers" Nearly every day
for months past there have been
notices like these in the daily pa
pcrs of the country. The Demo
cratic and Populist papers arc
afraid to omit .'|ase notices of
wage advances. They know, how.
ever, that they are death to their
parties. The make no comment
upon them.

eyer good roads. the same haul is
made at an average cost of Sl.20
per ton. Thus an easy sum in
arithmetic shows that the Ameri-
can farmer pays Sl.S2 premium or

year ten tons Of farm products, at

that the cost Of hauling q years

than it would cost to move it
over good roads. Sapposing the
farmers of this country would con-
sent to pay this $3.50 for a few

important Tax Decision.

The Missouri Supreme Court by
Judge CAN'T recently handed down
an opinion in the case of the State
ex rel. Wenncker vs. Cumming.
This was Il suit to collect back tax
es for the years 1891 and 1895 by
the Collector Of the City of st.
Louis. \ deputy assessor sought
to assess Cummings, who refused
to fl; out lists, The deputy fox
the year 1894 made inquiries and
listed his property at Sl1, 800 and
the board o. equalization, under
the law, doubled this, making the
assessment $4,000. The same
occurred in 1895. The assessor
could not Get Cummings to fill out
a list, an<. valued his property ut
$12,50O The board doubled this,
making it $4,000 The Circuit
Court in the litigation that follow
ell gave Judgment for Cummings.
Judge CAN'T, in his opinion, re-
vclses the lower court and ordered
that Judgment be entered tcr the
city for taxes, penalties and costs.
He holds that the failure of Cum
minss to list his property estops
him from setting up defence. All
of the judges, except Valiant, who
did not sit in the case, concurrcd in
the opinion.

Unconditional Surrender,

Aguina!do shed American blood
there remained but one duty, and
that was-to crush him. He we'll
knew that the Americans were
there by the fortune of war, and
that, left to themselves, they would
have retired in due season but he
was after loot, and hence his hos
tile attitude. In such Il presence
where is the American citizen who
would ask the American soldier to
turn his back to the foe! The pol
itics of the situation belongs to an
other tribunal, but as long as an
armed foe disputes ground with

Should Stand Aside.

The Democratic party can not
break away from its Bourbon in
stincts and move along with
the age. 1t may appear ut times
that this moss grown party has
grasped some new idea and is abou;
to take step forward, but the
idea is never developed and the
mire Of party traditions clings too
close for step forward out of the
rut of Bourbonism. 1t is a party
with past and of the past; it lacks
the capacity Of progressive dcvel-
opment and fondIy imagines that
it can take the advancing age by
the scruff of the collar and haul it
back to that legendary period
called the Jeffcrsonian era.
Just now many Of the party's
adherents pretend to believe that
in the antitrust issue they have
an advanced idea. Have they:
What is there in the background
forcing this issue to the front but
free trade, free silver and return
to the trade conditions which pre-
vailed back somewhere in the JET
fersonian period. Under the Gov
ering Of a new name hide the old
issues from which Bourbon Dem
ocracy cannot separate itself.
The intelligent mind Of today
knows that the so-calIed trusts
are not the product of any political
system, but rather the outgrowth
of the productive energy and ca
pacity of enlightened mankind
Concentration Of capital under the
operations of the trusts, which is
now being dccried by their oppo-
nents, may eventually lead us out
along the lines of industrial coop
Grafton under direction of the gov
ernment. Democrats are predict
ing the government operation of
railroads, telegraph and telephone
lines, ETC., in the interest of the
people solely, as the final outcome
Of the rate pooling combines, and
yet, while they assume that such
common ownership would be good
thing for the people, they political
ly oppose it because it is an inno-
vation, and as a party Democrats
want nothing new. They fear the
unfamiliar from incapacity to deal
with it; their Bourbonistic instincts
lead them away from what a
glimpse of intelligence has shown
them is the right direction. Let
the old fossil party stand out OF
way, we are marching forward I'M
der leadership which is not afraid.

SILVER is no longer the burning
issue it was three years ago, and
the tune of the Democratic stump
orator will have changed greatly
when he sings of the ''acute'' is
sues of the next national campaign.
Three years ago all our national
ills were attributed to the ''crime
of 49," but since then another
diagnosis has been made by the
learned n1cn Of the Democracy and
it is to be hcralded abroad that the
country is suffering from an over
dose of "the trusts" If this dag
nosis should also prove erroneous,
another equally as infallible will be
presented. Whatever the trouble
may be, if there be any at all: it
is urged by our Democratic friends
that their sickcning cure-all should
be given another trial.

iron and of the various iron and
steel fabrics has touched the high
est figures ever reached in this or
any other country. The report
that there is q "famine' in the
market. that the demand far out
runs the supply, shows that Il fur
ther large increase in production
will have to be made if the orders
which are rushing in are to be fill
e1, In a general way this is the
case with all the important indus
tries. Nobody ever saw before in
the United States such an activity
the principal branches of trade.
Nobody ever before saw so many
wage advances in the same time as
take place every week these days.
Not only are the ordinary wage
workers benefited by the change
which has come through the ad-
vent Of the Republican party to
power, but farmers are also aided.
The prices of all farm products gre
much above the line at which they
stood year ago. They arc high
cr than they were in 1896. Every
person who works with his hands
or his head throughout the United
States is helped by the Republican
prosperity which has come to the
country. Men buy more commodi-
ties because they get more wages.
They get more wages now than
they did at the latter part of last
year. Some Of them are likely to
get still more before next year
ends. More than 100000 wage
workers of the United States have
had their income largely increased
since the days of 1895, when the
Bryanite reign of industrial terror
was under way. Between s., ,000,-
900 and $1,000, 900 more wages Is
tiisburscd to the workers of the
country every day at present than
was given at the time that the rep
udiatibn party was making its can
vass three years ago. The country
hears nothing Of the S'crimc of
1879 these days. 1t is the crime
of 1S99-the immense advance in
the wages of the vast majority of
American workers in all the indus
tries and the general high tide in
the wave of Republican prosperity
that is sweeping over the country
which is disturbing the Demo
crat party to-day. y.-Globc-D Demo
