Burke In speaking of King Georges
attempt to conquer and subiugate the
American colonies said:-
"The profession of kindness with that
sword and that demand of surrender is
one of the most provoking acts of his
hostility" This speech of Burke of King
Georges attitude toward the Americans
a century and a quarter ago, represents
McKinley's attitude toward the Fill
pinos very fairly. a dishonest, un-
American policy caused the Filipino war,
which an honest, common sense policy
would have easily avoided.
Burke continues the parallel between
the two cases still further when he says
eve see we'll enough to what the whole
leads. The trade of America the Phil
ippnes is to be dealt out i'll private in
dulgences, and graces, that is, i'll Jobs to
compensate the incendiaries of war.
From a national the trade is to be turned
into personal monopoly; and one set OF
merchants are to be rewarded for the
pretended zeal of which another set are
the dupes.

A Peep Behind the Curtain.

ave shall probably see in the
yards of the New York Central
Railway and in the stations at Jer
sey City, where the various trunk
lines have their terminals, the
elaborate private cars in which the
presidents, in hotel-like luxury,
travel here and there. There will
be more of them than were ever
brought to New York at any one
time.
"What the railway presidents
are to discuss is not fully known,
but the understanding is that they
propose to consider a new rate for
the transportation of wheat, the
belief being that the rate is now
too low. 1t is also the impression
that, in view of the great increase
in westbOund traffic, itself an indi-
cation of the fine improvement in
domestic trade, the railway pres
idents are of the opinion that this
is a good time to raise the rates
upon wheat east bound. -
The above bit Of New York news
furnishes food for reflection" to
those who have proclivity for
trying to penetrate the future.
Here is a gathering of railroad
kings announced to take place at a
stated time, whose object appears
to he to consider how much the
industry of the country can bear in
the matter of taxation by railroad
tolls, not for government or public
purposes, but to put into the peck
cts of a comparatively few people
who have been given public fran
chises of the transportation business
of the country. The principle is
the same as though charters had
been given to a few persons to take
possession of every public road in
the country and charge whatever
fare they pleased for travelling and
hauling on them. The question OF
most burning Importance is how
long will the American people sub
nit to he the subjects-tOr that is
what they are-of this new race Of
| kings

Last week the Bank Of England bought
5000, 900 Of United States gold coin in
New York paying a premium for the gold,
buying it like any other metal or COM
modify. The gold did not go to England
as money to pay balance of trade, but
was bought at a price above its money
value. And Our blatant goldbug fnanciers
have the gall or ignorance to assert that
gold is always the same, never changing
in value like other things!
The truth is gold is constantly chang
ing in value and rising in purchasing
power. And it is needed so badly by the
Bank of England to keep up its reserve
that the Bank has to buy it i'll order to
get it and bid above the money value, so
great is the worlds demand for money
and so scarce is gold measured by that
demand.
India and Japan have been inveigled to
adopt the gold standard which will i'll
crease the demand for gold, advance it in
value measured by other things, and the
price of everything else will fall except
debts and money, which will rise in value
