Our Troops.

The bearing of our troops, both
officers and mon in the Philippine
Islands, has throughout been such
as to reflect the highest creditupon
tho American arms. In q strange
country and climate, meeting
strange foes and methods of war
faro to which they are entirely un-
used, they have shown a readiness
of adaptation, n skill and q re-
sourcefulness, and personal valor
above all praise. In rushing"
strong intrenchments filled with
soldiers more numerous and better
armed than themselves, in swim
ming river in the face of the
enemy and taking the enemy cap
tive, and in thousand other ways
of gallant warfare, our troops have
shown the same splendid and tri-
umphant valor that has character
lied their race from Agincourt to
Dargai, from Bunker Hill to San
Juan, The men who can fight
thus can conquer, and the men
who can conquer can govern.

The Drummer's rate.

Trust, make commercial drum
mers fewer; fewer drummers make
fewer hotel guests and fewer pass
engers on steamboats, and railways
and less competition among sales
men and the merchant will not get
the "shaves" on prices.
The longer the party that fosters
trusts is in power the greater
the Capitalization of wealth and
business, and the more people
will be out of job.
No class of persons ought to be
able to see this better than drum
mers, but each one is made to be-
lieve that lie will be the one re-
tanned and tho others discharged,
SO he goes around the country adj
vocating what lie believes will only
ipjure the other drummers and
benefit himself, till the die is cast
then off comes his head and he
can go out behind the shed and
kick himself all he wants to.
The trust companies have used
him as tool till they have no
more use for him he is too dull.
Travelling, mon who go from
place to place, can do much to bet

They can mako or break him.
They can talk themselves into or
out of job. The latter is what
they did in the Presidential cam
paign of 1896. For their talk they

I1ubanIsa Wheat in America.

Among the importations of seed
made by the agricultural depart
ment the cereal that promises best
results is the Kubanka wheat, from
the Kuban territory, in the Volga
region. While this is n spring
wheat in Russia, it is believed that
it can be changed to winter wheat
here. 1t is much harder than any
of the American wheats and is the
great wheat of the Volga region.

It seems that the Administration
is going to the extreme limit in it's
policy of forcing expansion on the
country. It turns out that among
the matter prepared by Edward
Atkinson against the policy of ex-
pansion, and excluded from the
mails on the grounds that it was
seditious and reasonable in it's
character and effects, is a speech
made on the floor of the United
States Senate, by Senator Hoar, of
Massachusetts. The authorities
have also suppressed message
sent by a mother to her son, serv-
ing as a soldier in the Philippines,
begging him, at the expiration of
his enlistment, not to re-inlist, but
come homo. After the censorship
over the press and quarantine of
the mails have failed to suppress
the rising tide against expansion,
it is probable that the tortures of
tho inquistion will come.-Charles-
ton Gazette.

one Evil OF Protection.

One EVIL OF IrOJccC1OnS
More or less is being written
about tho great wheat producing
territory that is being opened up
and developed by the building of
long lines of railroad in the East
Indis and in Persia. This newly
developed field is the strongest
competitor in the grain markets of
Europe that this country has.
The fact is that the climate, soil
and conditions are so favorable for
the production of wheat, that it is
entirely too strong competitor
for our wheat. It has to alarge ex-
tent supplanted us in the best
markets American wheat formerly
had. The grain is grown there
cheaper than in any other portion
of the world, and can be laid down
in the markets of Europe, since
the building of these lines of rail
road, at price considerably
cheaper than our wheat.
It may be of some interest to
note that this formidable competi-
tor of American wheat is product
of the high protective tariff system
of the Republican party. So long
as we purchase English goods,
Great Britain was the best custo-
NOR for our wheat. When the
Mckinley bill was passed and
English goods were taxed out of
our markets, Great Britain began
to look about for some country
where it could exchange manufac-
tured goods for grain. The East
Indies and the Persian plains pre-
sented an inviting field but lacked
shipping facilities from the inter
ior. This led to the building of
the railroads and the development
and extention of the greatest wheat
producing territory in the world.
This loses to us these markets for
all time to come. Under the guise
of protecting the manufacturing
industries of this country, a severe
blow has been dealt the agricult-
ural Charleston Gazette.
The Republican financial and
tariff laws has made the tramp, and
trusts are making more, 1t is n
disgrace to our country that its
class legislation should make vag
abonds out of SO large a number of
heretofore good citizens. They are
now roaming the country every
whore living upon the charity of
tho people.

Regarding the Future Government OF

Washington, Feb. 2S.-At caucus
Of the Democratic members Of the house

the Philippines were adopted:
"We hold that the constitution Of the
United States was ordained and es-
tablished for an intelligent, liberty low
ing and self governing people, and cannot
be successfully applied to a people Of
different virtues and conditions. We,
therefore, hold that continental policy
is contrary to the theory of our gov
ernment and subversivc Of those great
principles OF civil liberty which we have
been taught to cherish. We believe,
with the declaration of independence.
that all governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the gov

to the establishment Of any government
by the United States without the con-
sent Of the people to be governed, and IT,
conformity with these principles we in

urge the following resolution:

hereby disclaim any disposition or in

FALL RIVER MILL WORKERS
lave Wages Restored to tho Price For-
nerlY Iald.

Have Wages Restored to the Price For
merry Paid.
Fall River, Mass, Feb 2S.-.is the
result of three hours conference be-
tween the executive board of the Manu-
tacturrrS' association and the Fall River
Textile Council representatives. held
yesterday, the final proposition to the
operatives was Il complete restoration Of
the wage scale prior to the cut down of
Jan. 3. 1898. The cut at that time was
onc-ninth in all departments, which
meant a decrease of over $4,000 in the
weekly payroll of the mill workers Of the
city. The restoration will date from
April next The offer of the manu-
facturers included clause requiring the
endeavors Of the local labor leaders to
bring about the adoption of sliding
scale at the convenience of the manu-
facturers and operatives alike. The
restoration, however, was not made con-
ditional upon the adoption of the sliding
scale.
1t was again called to the attention o:
the council that the wages paid at pres
ent in Fall River were higher than those
paid in New Bedford or Rhode Island
cotton towns and much higher than in
the smaller New England towns and in
the south.
1t is generally understood, however.
that New Bedford and Rhode Island
cotton manufacturers will follow the
lead of Fall River in granting n restora.
ton of wages at once. Robert Knight,
of Providence, the largest cotton man.
ufacturer of the state, if not in New
England, declares that the example set
will probably be followed throughout
New England.
