The Currency Question.
GOLD STANDARD BLESSINGS.
How the Trusts Beneht the People
An Actual sample of The
Process.

As sample of how the gold standard
trusts are u good thing for the people.
the following will show: A Clinton
blacksmith received catalogue from
Chicago house the first of the year.
He did not have occasion to order goods
from that house until last month,
when he ordered goods amounting to
50, sending draft for that amount
with order. The goods came, but there
was an additional amount of $3.l5 added
to the price on account of the increase
in prices, on account of the blessings
that come from the workings of the
gold standard and other Mark Hanna
principles of government. Here was
little over IS per cent. added to the
cost, or over one-third more than tho
same article would have cost before the
trusts on the goods were formed.
Now, does any sane person suppose
these goods would be sold to the cor.-
sumer at the same price they would
had the catalogue price been adhered
to? OF course, the blacksmith made
his price to his customer just IS per
cent. higher than he would have done
before the trust raised the price. So
that the reader, though he be as big Il
fool as the horse that swan the river
to get Il drink, can see that the consume
er-the last one to buy the articles-has
to pay the increase in price caused By
the trust. In this cause, if the black
smith would do piece of work where
it was necessary to use all the goods
bought at the time referred to, he would
be compelled to charge S3.15 more than
he would five months ago, and yet get
no more for his labor than he would be-
fore the reign Of trust prices.
Here is lesson for the consumer
that is so plain that he cannot help
seeing the effect of the gold standard
trusts. no matter how blind he tries to
be. 1t will fifty apply in every case
where the trusts and combines have
raised the price. On plows the increase
was Is per cent, making a plow that
cost $40 before the trust was formed
cost $23. As the farmer is the last one
that buys the plow, he pays his SO more
and never gets it back. Before the
farmer buys the plow, each one who
sells it adds $3 for the extra cost, there
fore losing nothing. But the farmer,
being the consumer, gets the full "ben-
eft" of the gold standard blessing,
and yet wonders why it is he makes SO
little money when he works SO hard

THE TREASURY DEFICIT.
Present Indications Are That An.
other Bond Issue Will
lie Necessary.

In spite of the best financiering of
the shrewdest manipulators the deficit
for the year just closed reaches nearly
$90,OO0.O00. This in spite OF the re-
markable flood of imports which has
caused the custom house receipts to in
crease greatly. This showing is nearly
$25,o0O.O00 better than was expected by
Secretary Gage six months ago. Sec
retary Cages estimates of receipts for
the next fiscal year were considerably
higher than his estimates of receipts
for the year just closed. He counted on
$195,0OO,0OO from customs and $27O, O,OOO,-
600 from internal revenue for the pres
ent year, and on $2O5, ,OOO, coo from GUS
toms and $2S5,O00,000 from internal rev.
enue next year. It will be seen that il
the customs receipts only do as we'll
next year as they have done this year
they will come up to his estimates,
while the internal revenue receipts will
have to increase $12,5OO,oO0 to equal his
prediction. Both of these items depend
SO largely upon the business condition
of the country that it is impossible to
predict how the final account will
stand.
The only hopeful source of decrease
is in the pension account, while the
expenses for war will mount higher
and higher. The deficit for this year
eats SO heavily into the bond issue that
another year cannot go by without an
other issue. While we contemplate with
regret the enormous deficit, we are re-
minded of the fact that the republic
ans ascribed all industrial ills to the
deficit u few years ago.-Utica OBJ

COMMON GROUND.
Proportions Upon Which All Anti
N0DOpOlists Can Unite-AbOlish
the Gold Standard.

While it is always difficult to secure
tant and separate political organiza-
tions, there are times when this CO.
operation is both wise and necessary.
In the campaign OF 1896 the democrats,
yopulists and silver republicans united
in demanding the immediate rcstora-
ton of independent bimetallsm at the
existing ratio of sixteen to one, and
they agreed in declaring that the mon
cy question was of paramount impor-
tancc at that time. The question now
arises: Should these three political
organizations act together in the con-
grcssional campaign? | answer with
out hesitation: Yes. Those who an
xwer No must assume the burden OF
nroving, first, that cooperation was un-
wise in 1896, or second, that conditions
have SO changed as to make unw;se
now what was wise then. The defeat
that bcfell the allied forces does not
prove cooperation at that time to have
been unwise unless it can be shown
that some one, party would have been
more successful than if we combined.
Cooperation does not contemplate aban-
donment of party organization, or the
surrender of any political principles,
nor is cooperation defended on the
ground that the platforms of three
parties are identical. Campaigns gen.
orally turn upon few issues, some-
times upon one, and events do much to
determine which issue shall most abb
eorb public attention. If the demo-
Gratis, populists and silver republicans
were agreed upon but one question,
hhat might be important enough to
justify cooperation, although the par
tics differed on all other subjects; but
those who advocate the union of the
principal reform forces against the
common enemy can point not to one,
but to a number of reforms which are
demanded with equal emphasis by dem
ocrats, populists and silver republicans.
First--They are unalterably opposed
tn gold monometallism.
Second-They demand the immediate
restoration of bimetallism at the pres
ept ratio by the independent action of
this -ountry.
Third-They oppose the retirement
of the greenbacks. ~ >~..F t"-' ~
Fourth-They oppose the issue of pa.
per money by national banks. ~
Fsfth-They oppose the issue Of in:
'Aeres.-bearing bonds in time Of peace.
6fxth-They favor the abolition Of

PLACING THE BLAME.
Yhe Trust In the Natural O6spr: n Of
ahe Accursed Gold
standard.

The more we see of the trusts the
less of bitterness do we feel toward
these institutions. We believe in lay
ing the blame where it rightfully be-
longs. The trust condition is the nat
urai offspring of the accursed and alto
sether abominable gold standard. It's
not right, therefore, to visit the sins
of the wicked father upon the legiti-
snatc progeny. We would crush the
head of the golden viper as we would
that of any other vcnomous serpent,
and we would foster the germ OF good
shat undoubtedly exists in the trusts
for the benefit Of all the people. The
gold standard is so silly, SO suicidal,
SD abominably unjust and wretchedly
and irretrievably wicked that we can
not think of it with any degree OF pa
tience. 1t is the abomination of desc
tation, the pestilence that walketh in
the night. the slayer of innocent wom-
en and children, the wickedness that is
wholly wicked and altogether vile. But
there is some good in the trusts. The
children are better than the father.
and such good as there is in them we
would preserve and foster for all tl.>
people.
W. would establish by law certain
date in the future, when and whereon
every trust then in existence or to be
thereafter organized, together with
all it's franchises and assets, should be-
come public property and be operated
by the government for the good of the
people. Nor would we make the date
enry far in the future. The people
now On earth who have suffered from
the operation of the trusts ought to
bsre some of the benefits. Yet we
would not be so unjust as to contiscatc
trust property without giving them
"A chance to reform. The people are
not wholly blamcless in this trust mat
TER. They have stood by and permit
.et! scoundrels and thieves in high
places to debase the coin OF the realm,
which dcbasement has led to the
formation of the trusts. We, the peo-
pie, have committed the sin of omis-
sion in refusing to administer legal
Punishment to the traitors who debased
the coin and established the single
standard. And now if we suffer a
Sittle for our own sin we must not COM
plain Atonemcnt comes through sac
riticc. Let us therefore give the trusts
timc--:l little time-to prepare for the
day of settlement, then if they fail to
head the warning let them do the rest
of the suffering. Moreover, the con-
s.itution forbids the enactment of ex
post facto laws. We cannot create
crime out of something that was not
previously crimina4: but we can fix
"A date and say to all trusts, thus far
and no farther shalt thou go. This is
the thing to do with the trusts.

WHERE THE BLAME RESTS
MclIinley's Supporters Trying b
shift the Philippine Failure
ON to Congress.

Some OF the apologists of the presi'
dent blame congress for the failure Of
the campaign in the Philippines and
for the deplorable condition Of our
troops there. Had congress authorized
a larger army, il is said, the insurrec.
ton could have been crushed long ago.
But congress on the LIST day Of March
passed the bill authorizing the enlist
ment Of $4,000 volunteers, to increase
the army to 100000. The president did
not avail himself Of this authority un-
til the 5th of July, although it had long
been obvious that our forces in Luzon,
though fighting superbly, were gaining
no permanent advantage.
Was congress at fault for this dila.
toriness? Was anybody except the pres
ident to blame for placing and con-
tinuing in command ut Manila third
rate general, who insisted that 10000
soldiers were all he needed, and who
sent bulletins steadily from February
5 to the collapse and suspension of his
campaign announcing victories and re-
peating assurances that the Filipino
forces were "disintegrating" and that
the leaders were preparing to "sue for
peace?"
Who except McKinley-unless it be
Alger or Corbin, his military advisers"
is responsible for Otis and for his in
adequate force?
Other supporters of Mr.. McKinley's
war of subjugation declare that Aguin-
aldo has been encouraged by the oppo-
sition in this country to the presidents
policy. Could anything be more silly
than this? Has Filipino resistance to
tyranny for two centuries needed any
outside stimulant to keep it alive? If
the president had sent a competent gen.
eral and an adequate army to enforce
his edict, would any amount of criti-
cism have prevented them from Sweep
ing Aguinaldo into the sea:'
The plain truth is that the deplora-
BILE situation in the Philippines is who'll
ly due to Mr. McKinley's unauthorized,
un-American and unfortunate procla-
nation of sovereignty and demand for
submission, and to the weakness, the
wobbling and the perverse fatuity
which have characterized his conduct
of the war. Any attempt to place the
blame elsewhere will be as futile as it
is foolish.-N, Y, World.

Washington, Aug. 2.--The marin !
hospital service was, up to p. M,
without official information concern
ing the yellow fever situation at the
Hampton (Va.) soldiers home. The
presence of the disease at Phoebus, as
indicated in the press dispatches, has
not been officially communicated to
Dr.. Wyman. The accuracy of the re-
port, however, is not doubted, as such
condition of affairs was anticipated.

DiHlculty in Moving Troops.
Washington, Aug. 2.-Some difficult
ty has been encountered i'll the pro-
posed removal of troops from Fort
Monroe. None of the steamship COM
ranies will take them, and just at
present no government transports arc
available. 1t was intended that thu
troops should be conveyed by the
Pennsylvania railroads transport from
Fort Monroe to Cape Charles, and by
the Pennsylvania road to Battery
Point, but the Norfolk authorities noti-
fed the Pennsylvania officials that it
the transport was used for that pur-
pose she would not be allowed to ente,
Norfolk for five days, which would cut
off communication for the railroad be-
tween Cape Charles and Norfolk.
Will Not Go to Battery Point.
Surgeon-General Wyman made an
other vigorous protest against sending
the troops to Battery Point, and earn
estly recommended to the war depart
ment the advisability of placing them
farther north. ,..
Gen. Merritt finally acceded to the
recommendation, and the garrison
will be sent to some place farther
north than Battery Point, Del. The
location has not yet been fixed.
It Is stated at the war department
that the request of Gov. Tyler that a
sufficient number of United States
troops be retained at Fort Monroe to
act as quarantine guard can not be
granted, as there is no authority to use
troops for such purposes.

Free Speech Curtailed.

This military weapon against free
speech seems to be very much liked by
President Mckinley in the colonies, ss-
pecially in the Philippines, where moth
ing in the nature of current events ia
allowed publicity there or in the United
States. fi,e Atkinson affair shows that
the Washington government would not
hesitate to employ Gen. Woods meth
ods in this country If it dared. In fact,
not few organs of the administration
urge the president to put stop to
newspaper criticisms on his foreign
policy on the ground that they give
aid and comfort to the nations enc.
mics.
1t is but short step from a Santiago
or Manila newspaper Office to news
paper Office in the United States, and
there Is no doubt at all that the admin.
istration would like to take that step.
1t does not need very close observer
of current events to see that the pres
idcnt and those machines are taking adj
vantageof every opportunitl to central
ize the political power of the country
in the white house. They seem to have
