Rutland has a good object lesson in
the working of trusts. HOag's cracker
factory in that city just has been alb
sorbed by the National Biscuit company,
and now practically is shut down, not
averaging two days a week. As an in
dependent concern it employed from 30
to 40 hands. We understand that the
Bristol casket factory has entered the
casket trust. 1t remains to be seen if
that prosperous institution will give en-
ployment for long.

New England Magazine on Imperialism.

New England Magazine on Imperialism.
The Burlington Free Press says: Mr..
Edwin ID. Mead of Boston, editor of
the New England Magazine, did not have
occasion to refer to American "Imperial-
ISM" in his exceedingly interesting lee
ture on the Study of History, in the
lecture course at the university, last
Monday evening. But that he has some
pronounced views on the subject is plain
from the following extract from an edi.
toria article in the New England Maya
zine for April: "Think variously as men
may about the recent war with Spain. it
is hard to see how any American can look
upon our present war with the people of
the Philippines save with melancholy,
horror and shame. Claiming to desire to
help these people to independence and
self-government, we have ruthlessy
moved down and broken the prestige
and the power of that body of the people
which alone had vitality and capacity to
develop self-gOvernment, which had
waged long and heroic resistance to the
Spanish oppression, and had demonstrate
ed organizing talent of an order which
lit ltNItNN anu C'iuuutUCt vi
every democratic man. 1t is the blacklist
blot upon the pages of our history; and
the American who, seeing it in white
light, does not denOunce it as a crime is
not patriot, not true to the republic
and its ideals. The president has just
declared in Boston that no instinct of
Imperialism turks in the American heart.
Yet even as we write the chairman of the
Congressional committee on apprOpria-
tions, reporting how we have spent our
half billion in the war, publicly repud-
ates for himself, and ventures the predc-
ton that the next congress will repudiate,
the presidents professed Idea of giving
the people of the Philippines the indie
pendence they desire. we could not If
we would he says, and we would not
If we could, part with the territories
acquired from Spain This means one
of two things-that we shall Incorporate
these territories into the republic, or that
we shall hold them subject to the repub-
lie. This last is Imperialism There
is no need to deal with the term glngerly;
IL simply means dominion over people
to whom we deny self government"

little government that they have solemn
~ sworn to lay down their lives, if need
be, FOR the men who have uninvited as
sumed the power over them.
The Republic of the Acre is by no
means an undesirable Ountr and those
who have taken it upon themselves to
declare it's independence will probably
have to fight for its possession. While
it is one of the hottest spots on the globe
it is also one of the most nealthful and

one of the best rubber countries in South
America. The product is even found
growing wild in the woods in great album
dance and the new government will look
to the revenue arising from this source
for it's support.
OF course it is still a matter Of doubt
if the new republic will take a perma-
nent place in the family Of nations. 1t
may be noted, however. that other re-
publics that have been founded in much
the same manner have won places OF
distinction. The Transvaal and the Or
ange Free States are striking examples
of this and the Republic of the Acre may
be just as fortunate.

however, the fact that there are
several republics on the face of the globe
of which the world at large knows but
little. AS regards population the small
est republic is that of Tarolara. an
island about a dozen miles to the north
east of Sardinia. In area 1t Is but fVe
miles long and a little over half a mile
, wide and it's total population does not
exceed sixty persons. In spite OF TINS,
however. it is just as much a republic as
is the United States. Each sixth year
they elect a president and a council or
six embers all of whom serve without
pay. In these elections the women take
the same part as the men and pubic
