Deaths from all causes during
the Spanish war were 6,10O, or 21
per cent. of the total strength of
275,OO0 mon, against 68 per cent.
of deaths in the army during the
first year of the civil war. Itmust
be remembered, however, that but
a comparative handful of the total
in the recent Spanish war were en-
gagged in actual fighting, or, indeed,
were out of this country. Yet, de-
spite this fact and the improve
ment in methods over thirty years
ago, the number who died of dis
ease and neglect and embalmed
beef in peace camps on our own
soil, were ten times as many as
were killed in battle or died of
wounds. For all of which our great
and glorious war department is
wholly responsible. Yet Alger
sticks.

Story Ofn Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form OF slavery. George ID. Williams,
of Manchester, Mich, tells how such a
slave was made free. He says: "AIy

that she could not turn -overAin he'd.

The Party of Trusts Becoming
L..

Alarmed.
i The Philadelphia Ledger calls
upon the Republican party to act
and act quickly and vigorously in
checking the trusts. 1t calls at
tention to the fact that recent
Democratic victories in municipal
elections are due to growing oppo-
sition TO the trust evil and to the
general belief that the Republican
party is responsible for trust SUI
premacy and trust growth.
The Ledger is right as trivet.
There is no doubt whatever in the
minds of the people as to where
the responsibility exists for the
enormous growth of trusts. Thirty
years Of almost constant Republi-
can rule and the exploitation of
Republican economic policies,
which have wrung vast tribute from
the pockets of the people on which
these unlawful combines have fat
tened, have created an oligarchy OF
the trusts 80 powerful that it owns
it's creators, the Republican party.
The trusts elected this administra-
ton, which owes everything to
them and is controlled by them en-
tirely.
The people know this. Intelli-
gent Republican papers like the
Philadelphia Ledger knows it, too.
It is time to call halt, but so
long as trust-owned Republican
leaders remain in power at Wash
ihgton there will be no halt.
The forward march of the trusts
was never SO sweeping as it is to-
day. There are not only trusts but
trusts of trusts. Witness the latest
projected combination of the steel
and iron interests of the country,
which with capital of S800,OOO,OO0
will take in such vast combines as
the steel rail trust, the National
Steel Trust, the Tinplate Trust and
the Carnegies.
The onward march of the trusts
will never be halted until the peo-
pie halt it, and the people will nev-
er be able to call halt by placing
trust-owned Republican leaders in
power.-Wheeling Register.
