The expected has happened.
The insurgents on the Philip
pine islands have commenced
war in defence of their liberties.
No American can blame them
for this action. They were en-
gagged in a determined effort to
gain their independence when
the United States captured
Manila. Place 100000 Amer
leans in the exactly the same
position as the insurgents
and they would have been fight
ing long before this, and would
never stop fighting as long as
there was a man to bear arms
until their independence was
accomplished. How can we
blame thsse insurgents for do
ing precisely as we would have
done under similar CirCum-
stances. "Give the devil his

a share to swell the standing
army, to slaughter the Filipinos
and to enrich a horde of con
tractors and their rascally in
termediaries. He feels that
Senator Rawlins did not exag-
gerdte the situation when, in
his speech last Wednesday, he
said, relative to the Philip
pines: "Do we want them in
order to send thither sworms of
otf1ce-holders, carpet -baggers,
to riot among them like Shiny
worms, eating out their sub
stance.
More important is the eating
out of the substance of the
American wageearner. It is
the setting of the heel of mill
tarism on the neck of labor, as
we see it in Europe, that is
alarming the working people of
this country. It is the aban-
donment of the glorious anti
military policy of our forefath-
ers, which tolerated a standing
army Of only a few thousand
men for guard and police duty,
and established instead a power
that exhausts wages and men
aces the laborer.
1t would be wise for the i'm
perialists to take heed of the
popular pulse. It is growing
quicker and the temperature is
rising. The American people
have thus far shown remarka BILE
patience at the wild reckless
ness with which their earnings
are being absorbed and their
rights ignored. But the end
must come, and the manner in
which it comes will depend upon
whether we shall soon return to
management of the
government or rush on blindly
to destruction.

The Paper Trust.

The American Newspaper
Publishers association has pre-
sented to the Anglo-Ameri-
can joint high commissioners a
carefully prepared argument in
favor of free paper and pulp,
few extracts from which follow:
In January, 1898, all the big
and profitable paper mills of
the United States, with a few
unimportant exceptions, were
merged into the international
Pulp company, which absorbed
tWenty-four mills, producing
about so per cent of the entire
American output. This cor
poration, or trust, was capital
lied upon a basis of $50, 100000.
"The organizers of the trust
frankly admitted at the outset
that its common stock repre-
sented no Investment, yet a div
idend of per cent on the com
mon stock was declared in No
vember, payable December 81.
This common stock is now sell
ing in Wall street at go. A
circular based upon informa-
tion furnished by officers of the
international Paper company
showed that in July the trust
was making a profit of $40 a ton
on it's output.
"The entire output of this
corporation, representing 1920
tons day for theoretical ca
pacity, could be reproduced by
present investment of $15,-
900, 900, so that the American
newspaper consumers are forced
to pay dividends upon an in
faied and wholly fictitious val
uatiou of at least $40, 100000

alton of the trust it raised the

annum upon the newspapers of
the country, which now pay a
total exceeding $20,000,000 per
annum for. their paper supply.
Every increase of a quarter of a
pound in the price of newspaper
adds $34, 100000 to the value of
the trust securities.

AN ARIZONA MURDERER
Who Made Himself a Conspicuous
Figure at Santiago.

Lieutenant Carter J. Johnson.
formerly stationed in this ter
ritory, did not permit himself to
be overlooked in the course of
the war with Spain. The
Lordsburg Liberal says of him:
Many of the Liberals read
ers will remember the cold
blooded murder of H. r. Barry
at Fort Thomas some four years
ago by Lieutenant Carter J.
johnson. Johnson had been
down to Solomonville as a wit
ness at court and had got heav-
lily jagged up. He stopped at
Thomas on his return and con-
tinued his ag. While in this
state he became offended at Mr..
Barry and shot him. The lieu
tenant, during the late trouble
with Spain, made a record in
Cuba, the account of which has
been brought back to Arizona
by a couple of packers, one of
whom was formerly we'll known
at Clifton by the name Timber
line, his real name being Sparks,
the name Timberline having
been given him on account of
his height. While in Cuba
Johnson had charge of a detach-
ment of men and discovered a
couple of barrels of native rum
which is said to be worse than
Apache tiswin, johnson bowled
up on this until he got a good
start, then sent to his tent for a
couple of small kegs which he
filled then emptied the rest on
the ground, taking his kegs to
his tent. After getting thor
oughly under the influence he
proceeded to capture Cuba.
There we're several thousand
Cuban troops camped near him.
He went to the f1agpole and
pulled down the flag and danced
on it. He then climbed the
pole and announced to the sur
prised Cubans that he was the
entire United States. His men
tried to quiet him but could not.
He wanted to take fifty men and
fight the entire force of Cubans.
Many of his men left him in dis
gust, and when he had the
trumpter sound the recall they
refused to come back. Finally
General Garcia who had charge
of the Cuban troops arrested
him and turned him over to the
sergeant of the company. A
and a murderer seems
to be about the same, no mat
whether he is in Cuba or in
Arizona

The Greater Danger.

The policy of Imperialism is
leading to a greater danger
than any that turks in the jun
giles of the Philippines, says
the Los Angeles Herald. It is
a domestic, not a foreign, dang
er. Thus far the full measure
of it is not apparent, but there
is no question that it is rapidly
growing and approaching for
midable proportions. Our
statesmen who have their eyes
fixed on imperialism do not see
it. Close observers, however,
who are not blinded by the gilt
ter of expansion, witness with
alarm it's steady and menacing
growth.
What is it? The exhaustion
of the patience of the great
mass of laboring people in the
United States. At every recent
convention or aSsemblage of
wage earners there have been
forcible expressions against the
whole policy of financial waste
at the expense of the working
people. The vast sums of
money already expended in this
policy, and the enormous de-
mands within sight are arous-
ing the workers of the United
States to a point that mustsoon
produce an emphatic protest.
The trade organizations are
mainly composed of intelligent
men, VINO can reason and draw
conclusions for themselves.
They understand that they must
bear the burden of army and
territorial expansion, and all
other expensive adjuncts of the
insane policy now developing.
They understand, also, why the
whole army Of office seekers are
endeavoring to plunge the coun-
try deeper and deeper into the
mire of financial waste.
The worm will turn and the
time is now drawing near when
the burden now piling up on the
people S shoulders will become
unbearable. The United States
is entering upon a policy that
has been the curse of the peo-
pie of foreign countries. We
are imita ting the mOnarchies in
building up a great standing
army and an expensive navy.
And for the subjugation of dis
tant people, who are struggling
for freedom, we are lavishing
money and sacrificing the lives
of brave young Americans.
The worker who earns bread
for his family is in no mood to
appreciate "glory" that comes
SO high. He knows very well
that, out of his weeks wages,
he must practically contribute
The Winslow mail., 1899-02-11

Why is it that no one ever
thinks of going to the postoffice
and asking for stamps on tick?
or to the express or railroad
ticket or freight office and un-
dertaking to give a stand-off for
services rendered? Is it because
they know their requests would
not be granted. Then why
should these people make the
serious mistake of thinking they
are '"supporting" paper when
they take it several years, and
then get indignant when called
on to pay for it. But the news
paper man is away ahead the
sooner he has such supporters
withdraw their patronage.
