The differences between the gigantic
corporations and their employees appear
to increase in bitterness and threaten tc
force radical change in present indus
trial methods.
The first and most important change
brought about by the friction between
capital and labor will be government
ownership and control of all natural
monopolies This would simplify matters
very materially, and events are driving
rapidly in that direction. Great comb
nations of capital i'll private hands tends
to enslave labor, which will be resisted
to the death if need be. The trend oil
events shows this condition is rapidly
approaching. There are no strikes in
the post office, which is far greater bus
mess than any in private hands.

Censored News at rIaniIa.

Eleven reporters of the leading daily
papers of the United States, including
the Associated Prees reporters, have pub,
lished a ''round robin" complaining OF
the suppressing of information from
Manila, and Withholding the truth of the
condition of army matters in the Islands
The administration experienced a severe
shock when the round robin" of the
correspondents was made public. 1t only
confirms what the people had learned by
round about methods that Otis has made
a dismal failure of his campaign and has
been endeavoring to conceal the fact from
the American people. The water is get
ting hot for the administrators imperial
policy. 1t will be at the boiling point by
the time Congress meets. The Manila
business has been an outrage against
both the American people aud the
Filipinos.

The prosperity which the Republican
newspapers have been dinging i'll the ear:
of the people for several months Is very
select sort. 1t is exclusively rich mans
pro: p rity. The man with brown hands
enjoys none of it. The farmer hears or il
and wonders why it doesn't come his way
The man who averages three days work
week at odd jobs is waiting for the gold
bug prosperity that never comes This

greatest find the goldbug organs ever
picked up, but the deception is about
played out. You can't fool all of the

If further evidence is wanting that the
administration now in power was part of
conspiracy with the same or similar
class in Great Britain to institute a for
eign colonial policy copied after that of
England, it may be found in the military
rule continued i'll Cuba against the earn
est protests of the Cubans, and the tariff
restrictions against the commerce with
Porto Rico, and in the policy displayed
towards the Filipinos from the start and
continued. The idea of conquering a
people in order to set them free is
peculiar.

ing the laborers who produce all wealth,
