Bv the Fruit the Tree is Judged.

The annual report of the New York
State board of charities shows that the
inmates and other benefciaries of the
institutions and associations of the State
number more than $500, 900. This is ont
of population of little more than
10000 The cost of providing for this
vast army of dependents is nearly
$22, DOC, 900 year This sum comes out
of the taxes together with voluntary con-
tribution of people who mostly are not
wealthy.
Do the social and economic conditions
pay which br eed such results as that ? By
a system of special legislation cunningly
devised very small class has been able
to gather into their possession countless
millions to waste by extravaganza and
luxury, while millions of worthy people
have been forced to become objects of
charity.
If the above conditions reported by the
board of charities obtain in the wealthy
State of New York, it is fair conclusion
that the same degree of restitution holds
good for the country at large, which in
round numbers means that $4,000, 900,
covering the entire country are in one
way or other depending wholly or in part
on charity. Does the luxury and orna-
mental prosperity of a few thousand mill
lionaires for the country to boast of conf
pensate for such frightful restitution?
In the face of these stubborn facts the
daily papers of this select, small million
aire class assure the public every morning
that the country is in the midst of period
of prosperity seldom, if ever before
equaled
IF ftis condition is found in the green
tree what may be expected in the dry,
when the day of adversely comes, as come
it must f.?
The political party, or rather the leaders
of that party, are endeavoring to divert
the attention of the people from contem-
plating the conditions which this mil
lionaire brand of society is producing, by
pointing to the islands of the sea and the
civilization they propose building up
there. But we have their home brand to
contemplate. Out of a poorer class of
material can their system of millionaire
building and pauper making produce
better results than they are showing at
home? 1t is fair to believe that they
cannot and it is not their aim or wish to
do so, but the real object is to strengthen
and fortify the millionaire class at home
by system of legal robbery of the half
civilized people of the isles and a powerful
standing army ready at their command to
be used in America or Asia

$2O.oOO.ooo Paid.

The last move in the negotiations
terminating the war with Spain
occurred on Monday when Secre-
tary Hay paid to the French Am
bassador, NJ. Cambon, the 800, 900,
900 indemnity provided by the
treaty of peace for the cession Of
the Philippines.
The payment was made in -four
Treasury warrants of $5,O0O,O0O
each, and was receipted for by NJ.
Cambon, as completely liquidating
the obligation of the United States
in this connection. The Ambas-
sador deposited the 100000, 900 in
the Riggs National Bank of Wash
ington, and the cashing of the war
rants is expected to be made later
through the City National Bank of
New York.
This ends the foolish, if not Grim
inal transaction of Mckinley in
giving to Spain twenty millions of
the peope's money for a barren
title to group of islands in the
Asiatic quarter of the globe, con-
stituting virtual purchase of ten
millions of people, largely in saw
age condition, and of foreign and
tropical races whom the great mass
of American people want nothing
to do with.

Big Smash Coming.

There are 1893 industrial trusts and COM
binations in this country, having a cap
italization of 5,832, $50, 842, divided into
81, 247, o19, oSI common stock, $S7o,575,-
200 preferred stock and $714,3SS, 661
bonds. The bonds and preferred stock
81, $50, o63, 96I-represent actual value;
the common stock-$4, 249, 9IS, 9S1-rep-
resent wind aud water, and the endeavor
is to unload it upon all unsophisticated
public. This is worse than free silver at
forty cents on the dollar. 1t is worse than
highway robbery, for highway robbery is
not in accordance with law, while this
appears to be so.
The trust bubble is likely to burst before
very long. Already there are signs of an
explosion. The banks have taken the
alarm and some refuse to make loans on
trust collaterals. The financial papers
are sounding the alarm and warning in
vestors to look out for a smash. Here is
what the Boston Investor says:
1.-The outlook is distressing. We have
gone on supremacy unconscious Of what
we were doing, until we have evolved a
state of affairs from which escape is inn
possible without great hardship. An
enormous number of water-logged bus.
mess concerns, known as trusts, have
been set afoat. In the smash that is
bound to come the certificates of these
organizations will sell at their real value,
which means an appalling loss to invest
ors. The end will be fastened by a
diminution in the consumptive power OF
the country, due to the dislocation of a
great horde of employees whom the trusts
have elected from positions previously
occupied. We can not imagine much
worse state ofaffairs. "-Faym Journal.

The following is the latest combine
fastened on the United States:
"$4oo, 900. 900 copper combine,-Stand-
ard Oil. Rothschild & Morgan seek con-
troll of entire output. mines are in

The above is the caption of the Asso-
ciated Press despatch announcing this
latest deal of concentrated wealth in this
country. The question of momentous
import is how far the American people
will submit to these trust and wealth
combine encroachments on their prop
critics and their liberties.

bankers, are gobbling up the best Amer

Mr.. Edward Atkinson has fallen into
disfavor at Washington since he has
issued his Filipino pamphlets. Prof.
Atkinson has always been shining light
of the Republican party but is now under
a cloud. He stands pre-eminent among
statisticians for making figures lie, and
has always been au immense gold stand
ard, sound money, low price champion.
The talk in administration circles is that
he should be tried for treason. His
pamphlets have been excluded from the
Philippine mails. This unfortunate Phil.
ippine business promises to 'play the
mischief" with the Mckinley happy
family.

The greatest concern manifested for
the Democratic party is by the Republican
goldbug newspapers. They grieve over
the divisions in the party and over the
fact that Perry Belmont and Richard
Croker are not allowed to take control
and entire direction of the party, and
place it squarely on the Indianapolis
platform of the gold standard, even more
radical than the Republican platform.
These sincere Republican party organs
insist that silver as political issue is en-
tirely dead. and that the Indianapolis
platform got about $780, 900 votes and that
the Chicago platform party received
$500, 900 votes, which, deducting the
fraudulent votes cast or counted for the
St. Louis gold international bimetallism,
was more than were cast for Mckinley
and Palmer and Buckner combined.
These Republican organs grieve and
refuse to be comforted at Bryan's rash,
reckless behavior in his telling Belmont
he and his goldbug conspirators are no
part or parcel of the Democratic party.
1t is all very lamentable of course, and
grieves to the heart that Bryan will
not accept the advice of Belmont, Croker
& Co. and the Republican newspapers
but persists, along with the mass of the
American people, i'll believing that silver
is not dead and that goldbugism and the
Republican newspapers are very much
afraid of it.

1t is significant fact that those who
were willing in 1896 to borrow financial
system from England, are now foremost
among the people who would borrow
colonial policy from England. How long
before they would be willing to borrow
the laws of entail and primogeniture and
the splendors Of royal court and titled
nobility.-Bryan's speech at the Jefferson
dinner in Now York.

To President McKinley's constitutional
wabbling can be traced the war with Spain
and all its resultant army scandals and
tragedies. To the same wabbling policy
can be traced the Improbable, aimless
war going on in the Philippine Islands.
Hanna, Elkins & Co, gang of specu-
lators, are the only Americans that want
anything to do with the fever swamps,
jungles and treacherous Malay inhabitants
of that country.

Immediately after McKinley's election,
Notwithstanding the fine promises that
had been made during the campaign,
wages of workmen were cut dowd IS and
20 per cent. The Mckinley papers are
now Boosting that the wages of 100, 900
employees have been raised 5 and 10 per
cent. An extra tax has been laid on
everything by the government to support
the Mckinley war expense, and by the
trusts to create more millionaires. The
prices of trust goods are being raised more
than their work peoples wages. Examine
this imitation prosperity closely and it
invariably shows up a fraud. The present
brand is found in spots where the million
aires do most congregate, but is very thin
among the workers.

HALF A MILLION DOLLARS worth OF
new buildings in Ell Paso since the
first of the year, as shown by the re-
cord of building permits, is fine show
ing, and we'll demonstrates the steady
and safe growth of this city. Rental
houses are scarce, Office rents are high
and going higher each month, and still
the demand keeps up. It is to be re-
membered also that the amount stated
in the application for permit is usually
under rather sthan over the amount
really expended before the building is
finished. The totalsamount of money
that has changed hands on account OF
building operations in this city since
the first of the year is probably much
larger than the official records show.

IF it shall prove true that Secretary
Alger has really resigned his office
and If the president shall accept hi
resignation at once, as is to be expect
ed, then the country without regard tc
party will breathe great sigh OF re-
lief. The effrontery of this man in re-
tanning Office after he had lost the res
pect and confidence of the country
and, it is alleged, of the president as
we'll, has been surprising. The culmi.
nation came when he entered the fight
for the United States senatorship In
Michigan and joined hands with Gov
ernor Pingree who is an open opponent
of President Mckinley. The oppor-
tunity was given for Pingree covert
~ to insult the president, and he did
so, and still Alger held
that be was at loss to know on what
the public demand for his removal was
based. Il is true that the people at
large know little or nothing of the real
competence or incompetence OF Alger's
administration of the war department..
The testimony has all been violently
partisan, and the iopinions and infer
ences of the newspaper correspondents
at Washington have had to be taken
with many allowances. 1t is well
known that some of the greatest cabi-
net officers in our history have been
subject to persecution and the cry of
public clamor, and it is to be remem-
hot IN, hi dou Of r1,ir col
newspapers it is very easy thing to
produce the appearance of q public
man publicly condemned. But no one,
not Alger himself, can say that he has
held on to the Office after he was dis
credited because of any
fancy that such pertinacity
was for the public good. There
have been grave charges made agains
him, and:he has not courted investiga-
ton, and has held on with bulldog
like grip, continuingato do new queer
things, until the bounds of decency
were long since passed. He must have
known that he was seriously embsrras
sing the president in his work, and
surely the president has been the best
friend Alger has had in the admins
tration. It would seem that he would
have offered long ago to relieve the
pressure. But there is little use going
in detail into the alleged failings of
the secretary. Many of tn stories are
no doubt entirely false, and most of
them highly colored. But Alger has
entirely lost the: confidence of the
country and it will be "a mighty good
thing to get rid of him.
