According TO a computation made by
the New York World, - combinations
of capital or trusts control 2,6s7000
men, and the GENERALIZATION of capital
continues. 1t is one of the serious
phases of the trust question. What
effect these combinations must have on
the future independer &c and well be-
ing of the laboring classes One of these
combinations, namely the Standard Oil
company. has reached out It's tentacles
until il has a hold in the banking,
transportation, mining and other forms
of business. 1t seems that the effect
of this growing trust tendency must be
to eventually crush out the independ-
cnce of the laboring classes, and dictate
the terms upon which they shall exist.
The combination of capital that can not
only fix the wages which all the men in
varied lines of employment shall re-
ccive, but also virtually determine tho
purchasing power OF such comperss'
ton, must soon crush labor between
the upper and neither mill stones OF III
dustrial oppression. and leave LABOR
only what is necessary TO poor ex'
istcnce.

INCONSISTENT MKINLEY.
The Prestdent's Queer Way OF Hano~
ling the Philippine
Troubles.

President Mckinley declared In speech
No. 50. delivered on his triD around the
circle, that: 1T Is no longer question
of expansion with us; we bave ex-
banded" This being so, why does the
president say that the matter is With
congress?
Perhaps President Mckinley has IN
mind the McEnnery resolution, which
saved from defeat by single vote the
treaty with Spain.
The resolution read as follows:
That By the ratification OF the treaty OF
peace with Spain II is not intended 10 IN
corporate the inhabitants or The Ihilp-
nine islands into citizenship OF the tniteo
states, nor is Il the intention 10 perma-
nentS annex said islands as an integral
part OF the territory of the United states.
But II IS the intention Of the United States
TO establish on said islands government
suitable to the wants and conditions OF the
inhabitants OF said islands. 10 prepare
them for local self-government and in due
time TO make such disposition or SAID
Islands as Will best promote the Interests
OF the citizens OF the United States and the
Inhabitants OF said islands.
With such a declaration as this linger-
ing in his memory. Mckinle.' although
assuring the people that I'VE have ex-
panded," yet feels called upon to hedge
| by saving that the matter is in the
hands of congress.
In speech No. sc. Mckinley said OF
our position in the Philippines:
eve are not there to Cypress. We are
there TO liberate We are not there to
establish an imperial government, but
we are there to establish govern
ment Of liberty, and law, and protection
to life, property and opportunity to all
who dwell therein"
This is a pleasing fancy sketch, but
a correspondent of the Hong-kong Mail
gives another view. He says:
Taxes are higher now than under
Spanish rule and the inhabitants bitter
ly complain that living expenses have
doubled. The native police have been
discharged and the Americans appoint
ed in their stead, being totally unac-
quainted with the language and modes
Of life of the civil population. and CIV
ing endless dissatisfaction. The old in
habitants state that murders, robberias
and crimes of every description ars
greater than cefo-e, and the American
police, in their laundering endeavors
to search out criminals, resort in their
ignorance of the haunts and methods
of the criminals to the most tyrannical
means to obtain information for the
capture of offenders.
Another source Of discomfort is the
use of the money secured from taxes
and from customs for the support of tho
army. instead of using the funds fol
carrying out much needed municipal ne
cessties. All these causes serve TO pro
long the war by keeping the natives
who have lived in hope on promises O.
good government, in Il constant stat'
of irritation"
1t appears from this that Mckinle.
will have TO deliver more than s.
. speeches to convince the people of thi
country that everything is lovely in tn
Phiiippines.--Chicag Democrat.

OHIO MUST BE BOUGHT.
Doodle Must De Freely Used tn Carry
IL for the Republicans
This Year.

Mr.. Mckinley might readily disavow
all responsibility for this direct demand
upon government ofliceholders all over
the United States, that they violate the
law which they are sworn to obey and
go down in their pockets for money
with which to buy the venal floating
vote of Ohio; but, as the presidents
political conscience is the property of
Mark A. Hanna, and the circular in
question could have been issued with
out that gentleman's consent and in
dorsement, the country at large per-
force will accept it as only another ex'
ecutive step in the direction of a return
to the old corrupt political spoils sys-
tenn.
With all the money Hanna or his
friends have made out of Spanish war
contracts in coal, wood and sundries,
there certainly should be sufiicency
of available republican money in Ohio
to pay the Legitimate" expenses of a
local campaign. Hanna, himself, may
be penurious, but he has ways to ex-
tract saccharine matter from trusts,
and should not be in need of outside
help to pay for printing, stationery.
postage stamps and the services of as
many orators as may be required, even
in an emergency.
The appeal of the Ohio state commit
voter as evidence that, in the opinion
Of the administration, not only the cleo
ton of Judge Nash as governor. but tie
general result in 1900 is jcopardized and
that, regardless of cost, the "presi-
dents home state" must be bought up
in November. Ii is tanta,nouns to a con-
fcssion that the party is in bad way
everywhere.
In view of the HANNAH Mckinley panic.
which ipluces the manipulators of the
combination to insist that public serv-
ants shall commit moral il not technical
crime, and which is sending the chief
of the state and his official family all
over the western states like n party of
hired spellbinders. the question natu-
rally suggests itself: What are the
real chances for republican success liz
tae states that hold elections this au-
Washington Times.
The president has felt himself en-
couraged as the result OF his recent pc
litical campaign to avow the determined
purpose of his administration to hold
on 10 the Philippines at all hazards.
We all know what to expect as the out
come OF the imperialist programme
and we will all be prepared to resist its
| fulfillment to the uttermost. This is
compensation enough to the people fov
the palpable breach of good faith and
good taste Of which William Mckinley
has been guilty in assuming the atti'
tude Of a political stump orator in con
nection with the reception OF the recent
ly discharged volunteer regimsEus--

the standard yard measure observed an
official of the coast survey to a Washing
ton Star reporter. Bird, a famous scien-
fist. made the first standard yard, in l76o.
but the English government did not legal

when the house of parliament in London
was destroyed by fire, the standard yard
was lost and England was again without
a standard yard of length. S~heepsbanks
next made a standard yard measure,
which the English government adopted,
and, so that it could not be again de-
stroyed by fire, four authorized copies
We're made of it. One Of these was depos-
tied in the royal mint, another in the
Royal society, another in the observatory
at Greenwich, and the fourth was inn
bedded in the walls of the new house of
parliament. The standard yard measures
which We're owned by the government are
copies of the original, one of which is
owned by the coast survey. The United
States observatory has one also.
The delicacy OF its construction may be

temperature of one-hundredth of a degree
Fahrenheit has been found to produce a
sensible effect on the length of the bar.

THE ISLANDS ARE OURS
By Virtue of the Treaty of Paris and
the First Thing to be Done is to
Put Down the Present Instruction
at Once.

New York, Nov. 1.-Senator Allison OF
Iowa. discussing matters in the Philip
pines in the forthcoming issue Of The In
dependent, will say:
1T does not seem TO me that there can
be two sides to the question, what is our
present duty in the Philippines? BY our
treaty with Spain and with the exchange
of affiliations of the treaty, these islands
became ours. Our title to them is clear
and unq~uestionable under our cOnStltu-
ton and under the law and usages OF ma
tons. The instruction there against our
authority began after the treaty wa,
signed at Paris and continues to this
time. Our duty requires US to suppress
this insurrection and to establish peace
and order there. With the restoration
of peace n order there / take it for
granted that congress will provide u gov
eminent for the people of the islands in
the spirit of liberty and justice and with
a view to their highest possible ciNiliza-
ton.
Heretofore when possessions have beer
acquired by the United States congress
dealt with the people residing in those
territories in the spirit of liberty and JUS
tice. which prevails in III constitution
and our avs and ! have no reason TO give
or even suspect that future congresses
will not make such rules and regulations
for these inhabitants as viii provide fol
them the largest measure of liberty pos
sible for them as we'll as the largest loca
participation in the government with tlt
situation there under our sovereignty ans
under our flag. So far as ] can see tbs
only practical alternative to this is The
abandonment of the islands, the with
draWal of our troops and the Withdrawal
of our navy as well. The president has nt
power to direct this, as he cannot alternate
territory acquired. Congress can do sc
by law and will soon be in session ant
those who think we should surrender
what we have gained there and Withdraw
