The plutocrats and protective
tarifites have already expressed
their preference for Mckinley for
President in 1900. This was not
unexpected, and therefore creates
no surprise. There has never been
President, and probably no other
man could be found, who has or
would SO completely serve the pur-
poses of these grasping interests as
Mckinley has and will. He has
been as SO much plastic clay in the
hands of the money barons, the
spectators and the trusts. They
are unanimously for Mckinley, be-
cause they know that he will per-
nit them to dictate his admins
tration and shape his policies to
best subserve their interests

The Chicago Times. Herald is
very sure that the Is to sentiment
is as dead as door nail. The au-
thority given for its happy conolu-
sion is the opinion expressed by
Henry Wolcott, of Colorado, a
brother of the Republican Senator,
and himself speculator in the
single gold standard. If the de-
termination of the question were
left to such authority as this it
would soon be settled on that line,
and permanently settled. 1t is a
significant fact that every man who
has ventured the assertion that the
silver question is dead, is a man
who has always been seeking to
murder it.

1t is too early to predict that
trusts will not advance the prices
of the goods and articles they con-
troll. What benefits could be de-
rived from combining interests ex-
cept to remove competitions
What greater benefit could flow
from the removal of competition
than the power to fix prices? In
stead of advancing prices, there will
be tendency to reduce them until
outside competition is crushed out.
After that has been accomplished
through price cutting, look out for
general advance to make it back.

III re.

Washington. April "a joint high
commission to settle the whole Sa-
moan trouble has been practically
agreed upon by the United States,
British and German governments.
Lord Salisbury's absence from Lon
don alone delays the formal acceptance
by Great Britain. In his absence Sir
Thomas Anderson and Mr.. Nilliers,
who are understood to be specially IA
miliar With the Samoan question. have
approved the plan for Il commission.
The United States has informally eX-
pressed it's approval and the formal
acceptance, it is learned from the
highest quarter. will follow speedily.
AS the proposition emanates from
Germany her approval OF course is as
Sured.
This high commission. it is felt. at
fords a pacific solution to the whole
trouble at the moment when Samoan
affairs began to look the most threat
CT Zig The new plan has been thor
oughly gone over by Secretary Hay

limited authority without the neces-
sity of referring its decisions back to
the several governments for approval
1t is felt that. by comforting such com
plcte and final authority on the high
commission the danger will be obvi-
ated Of any further deadloclls and de-
Lays. Still another important provision
under consideration is that King Os-
car of Norway and Sweden shall be
the umpire in case the three high COM
missioners should fail to reach a deter
mination.
The plan of inviting King Oscar to
settle Il disagreement meets the alp
prov al of the British and German au-
thorities, and doubtlessly will be APP
proved by the United States as Il
means of securing tinality of decision
though it is not known just how far
this has been considered by the Wash
ington authorities. The expectation is
that the sittingS of the commission
will be in Samoa. where. for the time
being they will have complete author
ity over the whole range of Samoan
affairs so far as the high commission
may think fit to act in order to fully
restore order and establish affairs on Il
stable basis.
Blame America and England.
Berlin, April 2.-The comment on the
Samoan situation continues fairly
moderate. though the papers naturally
defend the German officials and throw
all the blame on the the Americans

present to the Washington authorities
the resolutions of that body, have az
rived in this city. Their mission. in
addition to the presentation of the res

army. While the assembly did not re-
ject the $3,00O.OOO which Gen. Gomez
arranged with MI. Robert p. Porter to
receive and pay off the Cuban troops,
they believed it to be entirely made

sire at least S1OOOO,0OO. and as much
more as can be obtained. They argue
that if the Cuban army is diSbanded

would be barely sufficient for them to
procure clothes and return to their
