The Cost of Imperialism.

Treasury reports do not encourage
the hope that the revenue receipts will
soon overtake the expenditure.
The deficit for the year to date
amounts to $109, 800, 2SS. which will
be increased by several millions.
For next year Secretary Gage esti-
mates deficit of $50, 900, 900, the ex-
pected revenue being 500, 900, 900,
and expenditures $641, 100000.
But estimates are difficult to make
with any degree of certainty under an
imperialist policy. Unforeseen liabill-
ties are created every day and help to
swell the deficit. 1t costs money to
wage war on the other side of the
earth. But it is beyond the wit of the
wisest Secretary of the Treasury to
tell year ahead how much it will
cost.
Meanwhile we have ceased to be
billion dollar country. We need not
be surprised If the Fifty-sixth Congress
is called upon to provide for the ex-
penses of the government to the tune
of $1,000, 100000. Militarism is
costly, as well as dangerous toy

The Worlds Fair.

The railroads, saloon men, hotel
keepers, brewers and other ''business
interests" of st. Louis are trying to
work up a whole lot of enthusiasm for
Worlds Fair to be held in that city
in 1908. They are dishing out blocks
Of stocks and bonds, and want every
hayseed in the country TO ''subscribe."
They also ask the legislature to ap-
propriate one million dollars of the
peoples money for estate exhibit"
All this we are asked to do to help out
the poor and oppressed business in
terests'' OF the metropolis.
We are told that we must "chip i'm
and be patriotic. As in all such
affairs, the plain people are expected
to foot the entire bill and the .sbusi-
ness interests" are to reap rich har-
vest. Think what snap this will be
for the railroads leading into st. Louis,
as we'll as for the hotels, lunch houses,
saloons, breweries, theatres aud other
concerns of that city. But in what
way will the producers be benefittedp
1t is they who will contribute the
nickels, dimes and dollars to defray
the expense of the whole affair.

must be crushed. There is not an in
dustrial trust in America that feels
kindly toward organized labor. The
trusts are organized for the one pur-
pose of making money for the trusts,
and they would crush everything that
refuses to yield to them, from raw
material to skilled labor So long as
their employees maintain labor unions
they know there will be organized re-
sistance to unnecessary wage reduc-
tions, but if they can force wage earn
ers to depend upon their individual
resistance, as the plate glass trust has
done, the solution of the wage problem
would be easy enough. They could
make schedules to suit themselves and
enforce them. But the mad rush of
the trusts to destroy labor unions, in
fuence legislation and circumvent
courts will surely be their undoing.
The patience of the people is about
exhausted.-k. c.. Times.

A Coerced Labor Union.

Nearly three months ago the oper-
atives of the American Plate Glass
company. or trust, rather, of Alexan-
dria, Ind, demanded more remunera-
ton for their services. The company
refused and shut down It's works, de-
clarlng that it would not advance
wages, nor never again permit a union
man to work for it. All these long
weeks the works and the employees
have been idle, but the company knew
it was only question OF time when
the operatives would have to yield. 1t
was merely a question of which side
would get hungry for bread first and
surrender. The company was rich
and the employees were poor. Yester-
day the operatives resumed work, after
Eenouncing allegiance to the union.
They could not live without bread,
and their only course of procuring it
was the plate glass company. Over
800 of them are now at work at their
old places, but they are not the free
men they were three months ago, nor
are they as hungry as they were the
day before they were forced to sur
render their manhood. But no one
will blame them for renouncing the
union and resuming work. A man
may face all sorts of situations and
defy them, but when his wife and little
ones cry for bread, and he has none to
give them, what can he do but sur
render?
What the American Plate Glass trust
has done other trusts will do sooner or
later Meddlesome lawmakers, honest
judges and organized labor are regard
ed by the trusts as their foes. Law
makers may be influenced, judges may
be persuaded, ''but labor organizations

For the Credit of the State.

While the Missouri treasury contains
50, ZOO, 900, while the General Assembly
is doing its duty toward needed reve-
nue. legislation, while the credit of the
State is unblemished-cer Repub-
lican newspapers, notably the Globe
Democrat, are seeking to besmirch the
honor and financial reputation of the
commonwealth. By every possible
means, distortion and suppression of
facts, unfounded innuendoes, personal
assaults and all the acts known and
practiced by an Extensively partisan
organ, the Globe Democrat has sought
to injure the credit of the State. Such
tactics are unworthy great newspaper
of any kind.
Be it said to the everlasting credit OF
the Republicans of Missouri that not
all newspapers of that party faith. nor
all members of that party have follow
ed in the Globe Democrats lead. There
have been some who have had the
courage to put patriotism above party,
to tell the truth even though the truth
did not injure the Democracy, while
this did, and to assist in protecting the
good name of the State OF which its
citizens of whatever name should be
proud. State Tribune.

Don't Want Imperialism.


DIR. Preetorious, the editor of the
Westliche-Post, the leading German
Republican paper of the State, ex-
presses the views of the majority of
the thoughtful German-Americans on
Mr.. McKinley's policy of Imperialism
in the following words:
''We Germans came to this country
to escape the oppression of militarism
and Imperialism, and now we find that
we are getting into the same thing
here.
1--WE who suffered under those bur-
dens in the Old World do not want our
children to be led into that huge mis-
take.
There are $500, 900 OGerman-Ameri-
can voters in the country and they
have not been treated right by the
Mckinley administration. There are
600 GermanAmerican newspapers in
the United States ahd they unanimous
ly are opposed to the present policy in

Redemption Money.

Our friend McCollum. of Eagleville,
Mo-, says they have a number of as
good Democrats there as anywhere in
the United States, who believe in re-
demption money. We do not doubt
his statement in the least. All Mis-
souri, Democrats are good Democrats.
But will not friend McCollum please
ask these good Eagleville Democrats
if they would not be just as well salts
fed with an interchangeable" or
s'swappable" dollar as .'redeemable''
one? We believe If he will put the
question to them right, every one will
declare in favor of the ''swappable"
dollar. For instance, the man who
swaps his dollar printed on paper for
one that is stamped on gold or silver
plate, does not take any money out of
but the one who s're-
deems" his paper dollar with gold or
silver dollar, takes a dollar out of cir
contracts the currency, re-
duces prices, and helps to bring on
panics, just as we have been doing
under that system ever since old John
Sherman and his Shylock owners
brought this country to a .sspecie
Dasis.n We hold that any citizen who
wants to exchange or swap one kind of
dollar for another, should have the
right to do so without loss to himself;
but we would deny the right to any

A Princes HapIess End.

For his memory's sake it is to be re-
gretted that the German Prince Ludwig
Won Lowenstein died in the Philippines
under circumstances casting a cloud of
suspicion upon his name as an honor
able gentleman.
This mysterious nobleman is be-
lieved, while enjoying the privilege of
free entry into the American lines fac
ing the insurgents, to have been in Sc
cret communication with Aguinaldo
for the latter's profit and military ad-
vantage over the Americans. At one
time employed as an interpreter for
General Miller, he was found untrust-
worthy and relieved of his position.
When killed at the battle of Caloocan,
under somewhat remarkable circum-
stances. there was discovered upon his
body a pass from Aguinaldo, available
for use at will. and commencing him
to the especial courtesy of all insur-
gent officers.
This was a melancholy fate for
German officer. II Prince Won Lowen-
stein was a spy in the service of the
Filipinos, the only excuse possible for
spies-that of sacrificial devotion to
ones native land-may not be advanced
in his behalf. If he was not spy, it
is deplorable that circumstantial evil
dence initiates so strongly against
him. The Prince went to his final
reckoning under peculiarly unhappy
conditions.-iSt. Louis Republic.

If there is anything in the barbarity

| who devastated Rome which exceeds
| in injustice and inhumanity the reign
| of General Otis in Manila we have not
discovered it. The well-to-do, law
abiding citizens of Manila were weary
of Spanish rule and welcomed the COM
ing of Dewey and the expulsion of the
tyrants who had so long oppressed
them. During the rebellion against
Spain Spanish officers took possession
of all the property of many of the
leading citizens. Otis claimed the
property so seized as public property
belonging to the United States and re-
fused hearing to the lawful owners
thereof. Colonel Crowder was his
legal adviser and coworker in the
scheme of general robbery. The dis
patches of April 1S tell us that Major
General Otis has appointed a board
headed by Colonel Crowder to deal
with war claims. This will be taken,
and justly so, by the great mass of the
good people of Manila as another step
in the line of robbery and confiscation.

pelago are exasperated against Ameri-
cans and American policy. No wonder

fore that it may be necessary to kill
half the population of the island in
order that the remaining half may be
lifted from their semi-barbarity to the

This humane sentiment will be en-
couraging to the Filipinos. The sug-
gestion that the United States will go
five thousand miles away and kill one
half of ten millions of people in order
to relieve the other half of barbarity
could only be made by man destitute
of humanity and inspired with all the
malice of the devil himself. 1t was
natural for this man to swear that
every pound of meat sent out to the
soldiers was sweet and frst-class, but
it will be unnatural for any American
to continue to uphold
him and bestow honors upon him while
it seeks to degrade the general of the
army. The advocates of expansion
may well say Save us from such
