Mckinley and the Filipinos.

President McKinley's would-be crafty,
diplomatic, nom ommital policy, ifpolicy
such can be properly termed, is bound to
visit him in the end with disaster, if ii
has not already done so. His proclama-
ton to the Filipinos was anything but
reassuring to the people, situated as they
are. They have been abused, and de-
ceived by the Spaniards for centuries, and
looked to the Americans for relief and aid
to home government and ultimate indie
pendence. Mr.. McKinley's proclamation
holds out anything else than reinsurance
to people situated as the Filipinos are,
and as their experience has taught them
while under the iron heel of Spain.
The President promises them mild
military government for an uncertain
period. He does not encourage them by
the assurance that they shall have free
dom and independence in the future,
There is nothing straight forward and
positive in the proclamation the Filipinos
can place implicit reliance on. The proc
lamation is Mckinley paper from A to
lizard, and furnishes such ambitious pol
iticians as Aguinaldo abundant material
to make capital out of. Mr. McKinley's
would-be astute diplomacy in place OF
averting, contributed largely to bring on
the war with Spain. His same would-be
adroitness threatens to complicate matters
in the Philippines.
There is little doubt, and we may safely
say, no doubt, that the ultimate design OIL
those who control McKinley's actions is
to have the islands virtually turned over
to them and their exploiting partners by
charters and grants of franchises, so that
they may go forward in their absorption
of the wealth Of the islands, as they are
absorbing the wealth ofthe United States.
Mr.. McKinley's hearty commentator Of
a standing ARMY of 100, 900 is part and
parcel of their scheme. The large stand,
ing army is not new with these people
Their papers have been advocating large
increase in the army for years, and 100, ooc
has often been named as none too many.

Day. the Maryland Democratic
Association, the silver wing of the
party, had banquet and speech
making at the Carrollton Hotel in
Baltimore.
Mr.. S. S. Field responded to the
toast "The Maryland Democratic
Association" He said, in part ::
"Of those who claim to be Demo-
Gratis in this State, large majority
are in favor of the reaflirmation of
the Chicago platform and the re-
nomination Of Bryan, but Il con-
siderable minority are not so much
opposed to the Chicago platform as
they are tearfal of offending the
moneyed interests by advocating it.
In this minority are included nearly
all of the old politicians; men who
have been trained in II school of
political eXpediency, who believe
that the dollar is the all-potent
factor in carrying elections, and
that in framing platforms and
selecting candidates the chief end
to be attain d is to secure a large
campaign fund"

The People Who Enjoy Prosperity

The New York Journal has received the
compiled statistics of its agents sent ont
to ascertain the figures of prosperity" of
the year 1898. The following summary
of the results will enable our readers to
locate the benifciaries ofthe prosperity"
aud also those whom the commercial
goldbug papers consider the people. 1t
will be seen that the population of the
United States who are the people accord
ing to these papers, number only few
thousands. The $4,000, 900 human bipeds
who are mistakenly termed the people by
the mass of humanity are only cumberers
of the earth, merely mud-sills for the mil
1ionaires TO wipe their feet on.
First is list of twenty five of the great
monopolies whose earnings for the year
1898 run all the way from 500, 900, 900
down to $3.50, 900, the lowest and only
one in the list which made 80 small a
sum, was the wall paper trust. The four
boss monopolies that head the list are
The Standard Oil Trust 100000 900
New York Gas Companies 4O,OOO,OOO
Federal Steel 2O,OOOOOO
Carnagie Company 100000
The aggregate earnings, or rather TAX
ings. of these twenty-five freebooting con-
Germs in the years 1898 was $227, 25o, 900.
The second list is made up of fifty-two
millionaires The five leading ones are
]. D. Rockefeller $3O,OOOOOO
Cornelius Vanderbilt 10000, coo
w. X. Vanderbilt 2O,0OO,O 600
Russell Sage $1,000 600
Hetty Green 10000 600
This list Of the people who are enjoying
the unrivaled prosperity of 1898 tapers
down 10 Henry Clews who managed to
grab only $500, 900. There are five of
these poor millionaires. The others all
managed to grab from million OIL up to
ten millions. William Rockefeller has
six ten-milionaires i'll his company. The
aggregate foraging of the twenty-five
millionaires is $266, 500, COO
The next is select list of the big I'm
dustrials" Their Accommodations in the
unrivaled year of prosperity, 1898, are
Railways of the United States sioO,oOooOO
National and State Banks SOO,0COOOO
Street Railways 100000 900
Oil Companies outside ofNew York 150OOOOOO
Electric Light Companies in the U. S. 75,0000O0
Shipping 75,0C00O0
Steel and Iron outside of Trusts 70,OOO 600
Flour and Feed Milling Industries j0O0OO00
These aggregate gettings of s., $50, ooo,
900. To the rich people, mostly Wall
street people and their associates, the year
1893 has been a year Of unusual pros-
perity; but to the plain people 1898 has
been year of "nip and tuck" The
great industrial hive has gathered all
these billions of wealth. but by system
of unjust laws they have been deprived
of its enjoyment, and it has been trans
ferred to the pockets of few who are
clogged with the superabundance.
The problem for the people to solve who
create this wealth, is the repeal of unjust
laws and the enactment of Just ones,
which will permit this wealth to remain
in the hands of and be enjoyed by its
creators, and kept from flowing iuto the
hand that as matter Of fact produce
very little of it
Farmers are the hardest pressed and
squeezed of any other class, and the in
stinct Of self preservation should appeal
to them to study and master this money
problem.

ACCEPTED THE BUILDING

Board of Education Meets in Special
Session and Takes the Centro School
Building ofrtho Contractors Hands.
The city board of education met last
evening in special session for the pur-
pose Of approving the action of the
committee on buildings and grounds in
accepting from the contractors, CLAN
field 6 Koehnllne, the new Centre
school building foundation.
The committees report included a
resolution that the contractors be paid
balance due, which amounted to S2,44s.
Mr.. Battelle inquired whether this
amount was in excess Of the total
amount OF the contract, and members
OF the committee replied that It was in
excess, to the amount OF 1874 80, for eX-
tras that had been authorized by the
committee. Thereupon Mr.. Battelle
insisted that the report be amended SO
as to show the amount paid In addition
to the figures Of the contract.
In order to give tho committee an
opportunity to do this, the board took a
short recess, after which the commit
tee reported, recommending that Centre
building be accepted from the contrae-
tors; that they be paid 1874 so for neces-
sary sewers not included In the specl-
flcatons, and that the balance due,
s., AS, be paid. The resolutions, in
turn were adopted by the board, which
then adjourned.
