more than all our bad debts during
the past five years. and yet we have

spect on account of the stringency of
the times" Il am holding on to the

from Kansas, 'hoping that free silver

a Shoulder Strap 0llgarchy.

Three of the four newspapers oil
Ponce. Porto Rico, deemed it their
duty to the public to criticise the con-
duct of the affairs of the island by the
United States military government,
and for their pains they were sup
pressed. The editor of one of the
papers got the notion into his head
that because he owned the plant, and
that free speech was tolerated, pro-
stripes had full sway. he would be
justified in trying to protect his rights
aud his property. But he made a
grievous mistake, and for making the
mistake he was subjected to a pound
ing at the hands of a United States
soldier. from which he did not get
back to consciousness for some hours.
The editorial comments of the three
dailies did not suit the American car,
and when the editors failed TO heed
the warning" their offices were raid
ed by United States troops and publi-
cation of the papers forcibly suspended.
Either the military commander is over
thin-skinned. which is hard to believe,
or damaging things were being ex-
posed.
Il seems that one of the officials
whose conduct OF public concerns was
the subject of newspaper criticism was
Justice Diaz. supposed administra-
tor-of civil law. a state of war does
not exist in Porto Rico, and presume

Women Fighting OTIS.

The Associated Press states that
after the fighting around Manila be-
tween the American soldiers under
command of Gen. Otis and the Filipin-
os. the hospital corps. caring for the
wounded and burying the dead, dis
covered many women among the slain
Filipinos. These women were in male
dress. and with hair close cropped and
had fought effectively by the sides Of
their husbands, brothers and neigh
bors.
II hardly needs comment upon such
statement to make Americans blush.
For the United States to wage war up
on half-civilized people, struggling
to be free, is bad enough. but when to
this is added the crime of shooting
down women fighting for their liberty
and their own homes, even the most
hardened imperislist must be repen-
taut.
For mark it in the page of history well;
When nations strove for freedom, 'gainst
the might
OF tyrant power, in their most desperate
plight,
Then, and then only, women fought and fell.

into insensibility. if need be. which is
exactly what was done to one of them.
1t was high-handed, tyrannical aud
brutal outrage, and only a guilty and
cowardly mind would have resorted to
such an expedient. The distance from
Porto Rico to the United States is not
so great, and the spirit of imperial
rough-ridiug which destroyed three of
the four dailies at Ponce permeates
the Washington government almost TO
the point of practical application of it

fairs of the nation, which would be a

Chlll Comes to Her Senses.

Our readers will remember the very
able letter that We published in Jan
nary from Senior Joseph Romero. a
prominent business man of Valparaiso,
Chilli, detailing the disastrous results
| produced in that country by the ..silly
adoption of the gold standard, as Senor
Romero expressed it. The letter was
copied all over this country. and also
extensively reproduced in Chill. and it
seems to have had its effects. A recent
dispatch from Valparaiso conveys this
gratifying information:
Chill is thinking of returning to her
old love. The gold standard. this
direful Importation of her Hamburg
citizens. having brought financinl dis
organization-alm bankruptcy = in
its trail. Chill intends to readopt the
silver standard. At present she is
taking advice in quarters who under
stand the currency question, as TO her
best course to pursue. Whatever the
result, one thing is certain, the Chill
ian gold peso is gone, never to return.
This is indeed gratifying informa-
ton, and especially so to this paper,
as we have good reasons for believing
that this great reform was largely pro-
duced by the facts published in our
correspondents letter. Senor Romero
stated emphatically that Chilli ..could
not pay her debts (under gold stand
ard) without going further into debt, :"
and that she was committing financial
suicide by selling the silver that she
produced for 80 cents in London when
she might coin it into dollars and use
them as foundation for the improve
ment of home prices and the beginning
of an era of prosperity similar to that
prevailing in Mexico. It seems that
the Gillian authorities have been wise
enough to act upon the common sense
suggestions of this matter of-fact busi-
ness man, and the reign of the Money
Monster will soon cease in our sister
Republic of the South. The s.ham-
burg" citizens referred to in the dis
patch are the agents of the 2othschilds,
who swarm like poisonous insects
wherever the gold standard prevails.
Senior Romero's argument applies
with even more force to the United
States than it does to his own country,
because we produce about two-thirds
of the silver output of the world, and
could control TIE market if we would.
But we have no better sense than to
sell this silver for so cents to London's
banking Shylocks, when We could coin
it into full dollars and use them with
great benefit at home. The London
purchasers of our so cent silver make
it bring them 81 in Mexico, Argentina
and China. and in so doing cut the life
out of the prices of our wheat and cot
ton, and many lines of manufactured
articles; so that we are not only per-
forming the idiotlc act OF selling dollar
silver Tor 30 cents, but we are compell-
ing ourselves to take half price for
our product at the same time. Really,
it does seem like the fool-killer has re-
tired from business IN this country

The Battle Of 1900.

Inc 6dJLle OF lSUU.
The battle of 1900 may prove to be
the decisive battle in the life of the
republic. The result of the approach.
ing contest Is fraught with mOmentous
consequences that only such insensi.
bility as clearly marks a man as unfit
for the duties of citizenship can explain
Indifference upon the part of any indi'
vidual voter.
The Republican party is in the hands
and under control of the money kings,
trusts and monopolies and although
the party contains millions of intelli-
gent and patriotic men, there is no
hope that this class will be able to
dominate the national convention OF
the party or even have a voice therein
The most that the honest rank and file
of the Republican voters can hope is
that their masters may condescend to
make another platform filed with
hypocrltical cant design TO deceive
them.
The Democratic party was rescued
in 1896 from the hands of the political
brigauds who had dominated its con-
ventions for a number of years and was
again made the party of the people
within the full meaning of that term.
The work before the party between
now and the meeting of the national
convention next year is to preserve the
Integrity of the party apd ward off the
assault that is now being made, from
within its ranks. to again debauch the
party and bring it under the influence
of the Cleveland. Whitney, Hill, Crock
er gang. The only hope of the money
kings, trusts and monopolies TO escape
defeat in 1900 is through corrupting
Democratic leaders and defeating the
will of the Democratic voters in the
national convention of their party.
They realize that if the Democratic
national convention in 1900 re-affirms
the Chicago platform, adding a plank
expressing the position of the party in
regard to the disposition to be made OF
Cuba, Porto Rico. and the Philippines.
and puts in nomination candidates for
President and Vice-President whose
fidelity TO the principles of the platform
are unquestioned. that the success of
the ticket in the election is assured.
The crafty Napoleous of finance and
monopoly well understand wherein
their danger lies. They well know
that with the campaign of 1896 over
again their money will be powerless to
stem the tide of honest voters into the
Democratic fold and that a victory by
the people cannot be prevented Hence
they will spend money without stint to
corrupt Democratic politicians in an
effort to control the Democratic ma
tional convention as their only means
of averting defeat.
Democrats. the fate of the nation is
in your keeping The Democratic
party alone is the hope of the Ameri-
can nation in this crisis. The Popu-
lists and silver Republicans viii again
be your allies in 1900 if the battle is
conducted on the lines of 1896. L
will prove fatal to listen 10 any de-
mand for harmony that involves any

Complications in Cuba.

Undoubtedly General Gomez thought
| he was serving Cuba's best interests
| when be agreed with the United States
to disband his army upon the payment
of s.. 900, 900 for distribution among
his soldiers. 1t can hardly be believed
that he would enter into a conspiracy
for price to destroy the young repub-
lie. The charitable view TO take OF
his action in the premises Is that be
has implicit faith in the administration
at Washington that it will abide by the
declaration OF congress that the Cubaus
are, and by right ought to be, free
and independent people. Then, again,
his soldiers were in great need of a
they could become self-supporting by
farming and other employment. No
doubt, he firmly believed too. that so
long as his followers continued as an
organized army the danger of conflicts
with the Americans would te ever
present. From every point of view it
would seem that the old leader was
actuated by lofty and sincere motives.
But the fact remains, nevertheless,
that he assumed degree of authority
which no army commander ever before
attempted to exercise. He put him
self above the president, the congress
and the constitution of his country and
exercised authority which the czar OF
Russia would not claim for himself.
Without waiting to consult the presi-
dent or the congress of the Cuban gov
ernment, and without taking anyone
into his confidence. he signed a COM
pact to disband the entire Cuban army
and turn its arms and munitions of war
over 10 the United States for a stipu-
lated sum OF money. Very true, the
money was intended for his soldiers
and not for himself, but that does not
do away with the fact that he agreed
to wipe out the army and leave the
republic without single soldier. and
all that, too, upon his own authority,
which he himself admits was assumed.
The United States, however, recogniz-
es this assumed authority as represent
ing the wishes of the Cubans. and
hence not only refuses to recognize the
Cuban congress, but threatens to dis
perse it by force.
The situation is. therefore, very full
of perplexing entanglements. If the
people of the army accept the Gomez
Porter agreement the Cuban army, the
congress and all the machinery of the
civil and military governments will be
wiped ont of existence. and the author
ity of the United States will be SUI
preme in every channel of the islands
existence. If, on the other hand. the
Cubaus repudiate the Gomez Porter
compact and the Cuban army retains
its arms and organization and the civil
government continues to go through
the motion of conducting the affairs of
the island the United States military
governor would naturally draw the
lines tighter from day 10 day. but just
how tight he would have to draw them
before the Cubans would meet the sit
uation with armed resistance is the
question. AT all events, it will not be
many days before it is determined
whether the Cuban army will disband
and surrender its arms, or maintain
