COMING OUT THEIR HOLES.
Cubans Beginning to Realize That
SeVenty-Five Dollars is Better
Than an Old Gun.

Havana, May 29.-Fully 100 men
with rifles were waiting in line for the
opening of the office for the payment
of Cuban soldiers who will give up
their arms, and there were also pres
ent about eight men with receipts for
arms, delivered up to the civil authori-
ties. The majority of those with rifles
say they have had all the fighting they
want, and add that they do not care
who takes the arms so long as they re-
ceive their $75.
1t is probable that the payment will
continue here ali day, owing TO the
fact that it takes some time to look up
each mans record.
Advices from Cienfuegos say the re-
ports, under date of May Is. of riot
ing there on the part of Cuban dock
labOrers have been exaggerated, that
not over dozen men were engaged,
and that only one man was wounded
instead of one being killed and seven
wounded, as at first reported.

A BAD SLIP.
Comptroller Eckels Has Practically
Admitted That Currency Contrac-
tion Causes Prices to Fall.
that would

In an article in the Chicago Tribune
upon the proposition to tax bank checks
that shining light in the goldbug camp,
eN-Comptrol1er Eckels, is quoted as fol-
lows:
L do not think congress will ever
agree to such a tax" said ex-Comp-
troller Eckels, ''for, on stopping to
consider what the result would be,
am sure the legislators would conclude
that the good which it would accom-
plish in raising needed revenue would
be far outweighed by the harm it would
cause to general business. The imposi-
ton of even slight tax on bank checks
would cause a great number OF people
with small debts to pay to revert to the
old and less convenient custom of carry
ing around currency instead of using
check book. Consequently, a cur
rency famine would likely ensue, caus.
ing prices to fall, and involving more
or less inconvenience and loss to ali
kinds of business
His "Highness" Eckels has made a
bad slip, for in the above he asserts that
a contraction of the currency causes
prices to fall, and it follows that in de-
monetizing silver and cutting down the
worlds supply of new money one-half
they-the gold men-caused prices to
fall one-half. and that they and the
source of all their villainies, the gold
standard, are responsible for our mis-
cries. Gage should have Eckels bottled
up, as such talk interferes with his
more firmly establishing the gold
standard -

RANK HYPOCRISY.
Denunciation of the Trusts by Gold.
ties Mock the Intelligence of
the People.

The hypocrisy of the organs of gold
monopoly in denouncing trusts mocks
the intelligence of the people. The in
dustrial trusts grow out of contraction
of the volume of money to gold alone.
Inasmueh as the volume of money in cir
culation and the property for sale are
reciprocally the supply and demand of
each other, economists agree that a
shrinking volume of money forces
down the general range of prices. Per-
sons engaged in any particular manu-
featuring or other industrial pursuit
find themselves embarrassed by con-
slant shrinkage of the value of their
products. 1t is natural that they should
make all reasonable efforts to save
themselves from ruin. The only avail
able means at their command to resist
the effects of falling prices is to unite
with all others engaged in the same
pursuit and thus monopolize the prod
uct, fix the price and save themselves
from loss. When all business enter
prises are consolidated to resist the
baneful effects of the single gold
standard it is probable that about five
per cent. of the people will flourish in
the gold oiigarchy and its subordinate
trusts. The 95 per cent. who are cut

Tacoma, Wash, May 29.-According

TIE Cause OF Free Silver.

2 follow. For us to throw open our mlnts
| to silver would diminish the demand
for gold and undoubtedly lower it some
But it would increase the demand for
silver and raise the value of that metal
so that if parity were restored 1t would
be at some point intermediate between
the present values of gold and silver. Ii
parity should not be restored and we
should 60 to silver base our demand
for gold for coinage would entirely
cease, and unless the law of supply and
demand is a myth the value of gold
would come down. AT the same time
our entire demand for coinage being
concentrated upon silver, its value
would just as certainly rise. So that in
either event it would be impossible for
prices to double. They would unques-
tionably go to point intermediate be-
tween the low figures of to-day and the
higher ones of 1873. OF course the pre-
else extent of the rise must be largely
theoretical until put to the test of ac-
tual experiment. Our estimate is an
average rise during the next two or
three years of about 25 per cent. IN
wholesale rates. Wheat, cotton and a
few other commodities sold in direct
competition with silver-using coun-
tries would probably rise considerably
more, because they are peculiarly af-
fected. Retail prices, in our judgment,
would rise less than wholesale, just as
the fall has been less. There is no basis
whatever for the assumption that the
workingman's living expenses would
be doubled. Nor is there any reason to
suppose that his wages would remain
the same. The first effect of rise of
prices would be to stimulate produc-
ton. thereby furnishing employment
for more people. The next would very
likely be an advance of wages. Mr..
Carlisle says that wages rose eight per
cent. between 1873 and 1890. That was
a period of falling prices and general
depression. Suppose it had been pc
riod of rising prices, is it not fair to as
sumo that they would have done still
better? From 1860 to 1873 the same
distinguished authority states that
wages rose SO per cent. That was Pc
riod of rising prices. They went up
from ten to twelve per cent. But wages
went up four or five times as much, and
the reason is obvious. Rising prices be-
get healthful industrial condition, a
strong demand for labor and general
prosperity. An average and permanent
rise of 20 per cent. in the prices of man.
ufactured goods would start every idle
factory in the country and lead to the
building of thousands more. If that
would not improve the workingman's
lot it is difficult to imagine anything
that would

.MED Of A LARGER ARMY.
Recent Events Emphasize the Need
Of a Much Larger Army
in the Philippines.
OUR SOLDIERS SWEEP THE COUNTRY.
They Have Not, However, Sufficient
Force to Hold All They Gain, and
the FilipinOs Slip Back In and
narass Scouting Parties and De-
tached Companies.

Manila, May &c, TAO p. m.-The
events of the past week have empha-
sized the need of a much larger army
here, without which, according to the
best authorities in Manila, it would be
attempting the impossible to expect
to establish American supremacy in
the Philippine islands.
An Inadequate Force.
The inadequacy of the American
forces is said to be responsible for the
large total loss in the number of small
encounters, without material results
as a compensation. Most of the fight
ing has been in territory which the
Americans had swept, but had been
compelled to abandon because they
could not spare troops to hold it.
Lines Actually Held.
The forces commanded by Generals
Macarthur and Lawton held two i'm
portant lines of communication and
commerce, the railroad to San Fer
nando and the Rio Grande river. But,
much of the country they have swept,
including scores of the smaller towns
and some of the larger ones, have been
left uncovered, simply for want of
men to hold them, and the insurgents
have returned, and are occupying the
towns the Americans abandoned, and
are camping in the jungles and woods
outside others, on the watch for
chances to harass the garrisons, and
attack scouting parties or detached
companies with greater forces.
Prefer This Kind of Warfare.
This is the kind of warfare they pre-
fer to regular battles.
1t apears that the Filipinos who at
tackled the Third regiment, between
San Miguel and Baliuag, were part of
Pho del Pillars army. They came
from the south across the mountains,
presumably to meet a wagon train
which Gen. Lawton expected along the
ROAD.
A Fight at Close Quarters.
They fired from the Jungle at dis
tance of 200 yards, and gave the
Americans one of the hardest fights
experienced in the campaign. The
Filipinos lost more heavily than the
Americans in all the recent encounters.
The insurgent generals take the loss
of arms more to heart than they do
the loss of men.
Filled With Fresh Graves.
Foreigners who have arrived here
from the insurgents country, under
the recent order of expulsion, say the
cemeteries in all the towns are filled
with fresh graves. y majority of the
Filipinos' wounded died, because the
insurgent hospitals are inadequate,
medicines are scarce, and they have
few surgeons, except Spanish captives
who have been impressed.
