The President to virqinians.

In a speech last week at Richmond
Va, President Mckinley said:
What can be more gratifying to US
than the present conditions of the coun-
try? A universal love of country and &
noble national spirit animate all the
people. We are on the best of terms
with each other, and on most cordial re-
lations with every power on earth. W.
have ample with which to con
duct the government. No deficit men
aces our credit. Money is abundant in
volume and unquestioned in value.
Confidence in the present and faith
In the future are firm and strong, an(
should not be shaken or unsettled. The
people are doing business on both prln.
ciples, and should be let alone, encour
aged rather than hindered in their eff
forts to increase the trade of the coun.
try and find e and profitable markets
for their products.
Manufacturing was never so active
and SO universally enjoyed t%hroughoui
all the states. Work was never sc
abundant. The transportation compa.
MES were never so taxed to handle the
freight offered by the people for distr;-
button. The home and foreign markets
contribute to our prosperity. Happily,
the latter have increased without any
diminution of the former. Your To- ,rn,-
tivea go to Russia; the watch cases.
from my little city of Canton, to Gene
va; the bridges of Philadelphia span
the Nile, and the products of the Amer
lean farm and factory are carried on
every sea and find welcome in most of
the ports of the world.
I'm what respect would We change
these happy conditions, with the prom
isee they give of the future? The bust
activity in every part of the coun-
try, the better rewards to labor, the
wider markets for the yield of the soil
and the shop, the increase of our ship
building not only for government, but
for purposes Of commerce, the enor-
NOUS increase of our export trade in
manufactures and agriculture, the
greater comforts of the home and the
happiness of the people, the wonderful
uplifting of the business conditions CT
Virginia and the south and of the whole
country, make this not only an era of
good will, but an era of good times.
ut Is a great pleasure to me to stand
in this historic capital and to look into
the faces Of my assembled countrymen
and to feel and know that we are all
Americans. standing as one for the gov
eminent We love and mean to uphold,
united for the honor of the American
nation and for the faithful fulfllment
of every obligation which duty re-
quires.'

When David Livingstone was in Afri-
ca as a missionary and explorer he la
bored to break up the slave trade of the
toners, the Beers, burned his home and
drove him from their land because of
his opposition to their practice of slav-
cry. The Beers than ranked as Chris
tians. Great Britain freed the slaves by
purchase from the Beers, but the latter
are as cruel as ever to the blacks, who
are dependent upon them, away from
the settlements where the English show
more humanity to the tribesmen.

Coercion in Insurance.

An antitrust law against insurance
combinations will go into effect in Tex
as next January, and the corporations
that are in combinations to maintain
certain rates for insurance win have to
go out Of business, dissolve their agree
ment or have the law declared uncon-
stitutional. The courts of Texas as well
as the people are disposed to enforce
n law that is meant to restrain bust
ness by preventing legitimate competi-
ton. The companies which belong to
such combinations all over the country
make it a practice to refuse to take a
risk upon any property insured by a
company not in the pool and which
chooses to allow a lower rate for insur-
ance. In fact, the board companies re-
fuse such risk Eve when the non- board
company maintains the regular rate.
The prime object is of course to prevent
a lowering of rates. There Is about as
much Justice in this curse as there
would be for a majority of the people
who have money to lend to get together
and agree to loan no money to anybody
who also borrowed from any one not in
the combination, at any rate of interest.
The purpose would be to monopolize the
money-lending business and also to
maintain a high rate. Such a course is
impossible so long as wealth Is widely
distributed. 1t Is every mans privilege
to lend his money as he pleases, provid-
ed he does not practice usury nor extor-
tion, In which case some penalty or
remedy for the debtor can be enforced
In many states. The money lender is
but an individual citizen. The in
surance companies are interpretations
under obligations to state governments
nor charters and privilege to do bust
ness, and should certainly be under
more restraint than the Individual
money lender. And when such COM

To self-respecting Democrats it must

cation.
The manufacturers of the East are
beginning to see what a National benefit
it would be if the West could be well
populated and thickly interspersed with
productive irrigated farms. At a meet
ing of the st. Louis Manufacturers
Association, on October IL, it was urged
that the farm and stock interests of the
West and the interests of the Missouri
and Mississippi Valleys, which are
subject to floods, demand the construc-
ton of storage reservoirs, to prevent
such floods and to provide irrigation,
and it was proposed to urge upon con-
gress the building of these great works
under the river and harbor bill as a
system of internal improvement and
development. Eastern manufacturers,
of course, see the opportunity for vast
expansion of trade with the opening and
settlement of Western irrigated lands,
and the fact that they are showing direct
interest in the problem should cause its
Western advocates no little satisfaction.

SMALL LOSSES IN WAR.

ME telegraph and cable and the
ncs spapers have tremendously magni-
fed The disasters of war and enhanced
the value of human life. England is
wrapped in gloom over the losses in the
campaign in Natal, which, 100 years
ago, would have been rated a mere bag
atelle. The losses at the siege Of Plevna
alone, on both sides, were probably
more than the entire losses will amount
to in the Boer wal from now until It
comes to an end. In the Franco-Prus-
sian war there were several battles In
which the losses amounted to as high as
25, 900 men on a side. In the United
States, not longer ago than the year
1865, the army Of the Potomac lost from
5000 to 10000 men, every day, for sew
eral days, in the last campaign against
Richmond. To-day there are deep
drawn signs over the terrible losses of
the British in South Africa. Yet the
battles on the land, of the recent Amer
lean war with Spain and in the Philip
pines, and the Boer war, thus far, are
mere skirmishes compared with Plevna,
Sedan, sadowa, Gettysburg, the siege Of
Seba stopol, Waterloo and Eylau. The
loss Of two regiments and a battery is
regarded as seriously as would be the
loss Of ten regiments fifty years ago,

larger than they are. The horror man

A few figures on wool show the differ

cratic industrial policies. Under the
Mckinley tariff the American wool clip
increased from 3O7, 900, 900 pounds in 1891
to 34S, 900, 900 in 1893. Them the Wilson
law came in, and by 1897 there was a
decline to 259, 900, 900. The Dingley law
turned the tide again. The wool clip last
year increased, and the number of sheep
increased by 2,121, 900. In addition to
this, the demand for goods is SO great
that most of the wooden mills have o n
sumed their accumulations.

self-government should favor forcible
annexation but more surprising that
any one who believes in the Christian
religion should favor the substitution
of force for reason in the extension of
our nations influence.
"If we adopt the gunpowder gospel
in the Philippines how long will it be
before that principle will be trans
planted in American soil. So long as
our arguments are addressed to the
reason and heart our progress is sure,
but can we, without danger to Chris
tianity, resort to the ancient plan of
injecting religion into the body through
bullet holes /?
"The question is frequently asked,
What can we do? Nearly two months
elapsed between the signing of the
treaty and the beginning of hostilities
in the Philippines. During that time
the president and congress might have
given to the Filipinos some assurances
of independence that was given to
the Cubans. Such assurance would
have prevented bloodshed. If the
doctrine of self-government is sound
the Filipinos are entitled to govern
themselves, and the president can
now promise them independence as
soon as a stable government can be
established.
'If the president is not willing to
take the responsibility of enforcing
the doctrine set forth in the declara-
ton of independence, he can call con-
gress together and let them take the
responsibility. Aspecial session would
be less expensive than the war, not to
speak of the principles involved.
"Our nation is protecting the repub-
lies of South America from outward
Interference while they work out their
destiny. We can extend the same
doctrine to the Philippines, and, hav-
ing rescued the inhabitants from for
eign yoke, we can guard them from
molestation while they develop a re-
public in the Orient. They will be
our friends instead of our enemies.
We can send school teachers to Ma
Mia instead of soldiers, and the world
will know that there is reality in
the theory of government promulgated
at Independence Hall and defended by
the blood of the Revolutionary faith

HENS NEED TO HUSTLE.
There Is Said to Be Quite Shortage In
the Egg Supply.

There Is Said to Be Quite Shortage In
the Egg Supply.
Unless the hens get to hustling there
will be a famine in the egg market.
During the past six months there has
been decided falling off in the crop,
and 1ust, now the supply in the north
ern markets is not equal to the de-
mand. Higher prices are expected
and dealers throughout the country
are gathering what eggs they can to
be shipped north.
While the demand for eggs is con-
stantly increasing, the supply shows q
disappointing decrease. The specula-
tive element in the market is in conse-
quence expecting higher price while
the trade in general is only striving to
keep up the supply.
Last years receipts on the New
York markets were over 100000
dozen, but the receipts for the first six
months of this year shows decided
falling off.
New York is the largest egg market
in the world, and last year handled
over s1S, 100000 worth of eggs, figured
at the average retail price of 20 cents.
The calico prints interests use, it is
roughly estimated, over 4O,OOO,OO0
dozen eggs annually, while the coffee
roasters, the Photographic trades, the
cracker and biscuit combines, and the
chemical trades consume twice as
many. In fact, the grocer is today
compelled to compete in the general
market against buyers from a dozen
manufacturing interests. The leather
product trades are also extensive users
of eggs for tanning and refining pur-
poses, as are also the several patent
food concerns. Wine and liquor job
bers find the egg indispensable in
"6ndiug," and in fact, when all the
other interests have been supplied the
grocer is indeed fortunate if he gets
what he needs.
England last year imported over
500, 100000 worth of eggs, but the
American egg bad hardly any repres-
entation in these millions of cases.
French, German and especially Cana
dian eggs reached the English market,
to the exclusion of the American arti-
Gle. This is principally due, says the
leading dealers, to the fact that under
the present tariff, Canada being unable
to ship eggs into this country, sends
them to Europe. Under these condi-
tions, even if the American supply was
in great excess of the demand, which
it has never been, competition with
Canada would be out of the question.
