What the Trusts Fear,

The people know that the sham cry
OF Down with the trusts" means alb
solutely nothing. They know that
even the trust magnates would not OBJ
Ject to 1t. The people do know that the
proposition to restore free coinage of
SILVER at sixteen to one and the aboli-
uon OF national banks sofissue-in short,
a reafhrmation of the financial plank of
Io9o-ls what the trust magnates fear.
They know as soon as such legislation
is put into operation the death kneI of
every trust that curses the country will
have been sounded. Nearly every COM
blne now in existence has been formed
since the free coinage of silver was
feloniously suspended in 1S73.-Illinois

REPORTING THE WEDDiNa

Reporter Fit for the Waste

A reporter Oh a newspaper was given the
task of writing up very swell wedding.
He composed fine Stsobnt of the we'd

writers, he tried to use too howef5 lah.

scription q, the beauties " nature read
something like this:
"The silvery moon hovered over tie
scene, and the stars twinkled merrily; the
soft signing of the wind in the trees near by
came like benediction Of love to the happy
couple entering upon the voyags of life to-
gether."
The reporter sent in his copy, but just
as the paper was about to be sent to press
he rushed into the editors room, all excite
ment. saying he wished to make correc-
tion in the account of the wedding, as, ac-
cording to the almanac, there was no sill
very or any other moon on that night.
And the reporter also said that he had
blundersd in writing of the "eontesting'
parties instead Of contracting parties.
After few more corrections the account
of the wedding was found available for the

CurtaiIing Free Speech,

This military weapon against free
speech seems to be very much liked by
President Mckinley in the colonies, es.
pecially in the Philippines, where moth
ing in the nature of current events is
allowed publicity there or in the United
States. The Atkinson affair shows that
the Washington government would not
hesitate to employ Gen. Woods meth
ods in this country if it dared. In fact,
not few organs of the administration
urge the president to put a stop to
newspaper criticisms on his foreign
policy on the ground that they give
aid and comfort to the nations enc
mics.
1t is but short step from a Santiago
OF Manila newspaper Office to a news
paper office in the United States, and
there is no doubt at ali that the admin
istration would like to take that step.
1t does not need very close observer
of current events to see that the pres
ident and those machines are taking ad-
vantage of every opportunitl to central
ize the political power of the country
in the white house. They seem to have
reached the lese majestic stage of the
game already.-Kansas City Times.

The Monetary Problem.
low PRICES.
Not Beneficial to Any But Those who
Control the Money supply
They Foster Trusts.

For 20 years bimetallists have claimed
that the demonetization of silver en-
hanced the value of gold, forcing down
prices, leading to business depression
and distress. In answer to this claim
the gold champions have stoutly in.
sisted that low prices are an advantage
especially to the poor man." because
dollar will buy so much more. II
has been repeatedly shown that this
argument is correct SO far as it applies
to those who already have the IDOL
lars" or who are in the enjoyment OF
practically fixed incomes. If the bulk
of a mans fortune is in money, OF
claims payable in money, it is plain
that as the purchasing power of the
dollar increases, he is able to command
more and more of the things he needs,
and, in effect, he becomes richer.
But it should be equally plain, that
any advantage thus acquired must be
at the expense Of other people. Assum-
ing that there is a. certain absolute
amount of property in the world, if a
man with 100000 in money is enabled
by it's mere appreciation to command
twice as much of that property, it
should be perfectly obvious that some
other, or others, must be able to com
mand less-the result of which will be
grave injustice. In short, the appre-
ciation of money gives an advan-
tage to those who cab control 1t in

in Jury of owners of wealth in other
forms. The idea entertained by some
economists that cheapness (that is,
money of high purchasing power) is
beneficial, applies to cheapness caused
by better facilities for production, lead
ing to greater abundance. Even this
claim cannot be sustained, because the
benefits of such increased production
should go to those who do the pro-
ducing, and not to those who hap
pen to control the money supply. But,
when the argument is applied to a case
where the cheapness is caused by a
scarcity of money, it is so monstrous
in its absurdity that the use of it by an
honestmani almost incomprehensible.
That the demonetization of silver by
western Europe and America cutting
eff the supply of that metal for none
tary use, tended to make money
scarcer, is SO self-evident that it is al
most a waste of time to argue it. There
is not a business man in the world who
does not recognize low prices as an
evil when applied to his business.
There is not a trade journal on either
continent that does not deprecate a
fall of prices and welcome a rise. AL
most every day through the columns
of the public press we are informed of
business houses failing, and factories
closing because of low prices. Not
only this, but we find the greatest and
most powerful concerns in the coun-
try forming trusts and combines to
prevent further fall of prices. With
out the slightest effort at concealment
the formation of these trusts is pub
licly proclaimed, the reasons given, and
the acts justified by the unfavorable
conditions that exist.

a Sufficient Money Volume.

The question is asked: What is a
sufficient money volume?" This is east
" determined by considering what is
the prime purpose of money in a COM
mercial and industrial way. This
prime purpose ieseing to secure full and
constant employment to all at good
profits, if they are business men, and
to their employees; sufficient money
would be enough volume to serve this
end, by making the demand for labor
and its products great enough to en-
ploy all at good profits, if they are
business men and at good wages if they
are laborers. We have not such money

AN ENORMOUS DEFICIT.
Present Indications Are That An
other Bond Issue Will
Be Necessary.

In spite of the best fnanciering of
the shrewdest manipulators the deficit
for the year just closed reaches nearly
500, 100000. This in spite of the re-
markable flood of imports which has
caused the custom house receipts to in
crease greatly. This showing is nearly
25,000,000 better than was expected by
Secretary Gage six months ago. Sec
retary Cages estimates of receipts for
the next fiscal year were considerably
higher than his estimates of receipts
for the year just closed. He counted on
| $195, 100000 from customs and $270, 0,000,-
900 from internal revenue for the pres
ent year, and on $205, ,000, 900 from Gus
toms and $2S5,000, 900 from internal rev.
enue next year. 1t will be seen that if
the customs receipts only do as well
next year as they have done this year
they will come up to his estimates,
while the internal revenue receipts will
have to increase $12 800, 900 to equal his
prediction. Both of these items depend
so largely upon the business condition
of the country that it is impossible to
predict how the final account will
stand.
The only hopeful source of decrease
is in the pension account, while the
expenses for war will mount higher
and higher. The deficit for this year
eats so heavily into the bond issue that
another year cannot go by without an
other issue. While we contemplate with
regret the enormous deficit, we are re-
minded of the fact that the republic
ans ascribed all industrial ills to the
deficit a few years ago.-Utica OBJ

EOrPnlOSt.

The intelligent reading public are
fast catching on to the fact that the
leaders and the ablest advocates of the
free coinage of silver st sixteen to one,
of an American system of finance for
the American people, are also foremost
in the war against the aggregated
trusts of this country, are also foremost
in the criminal aggression and impe-
rialism of the gold standard party. In
fact the bimetallists are the only party
who are the true and loyal friends Of
the declaration of independence and
the constitution of the United States.
The imperialism of the Hanna admin
istration has already driven many of
the brainiest republicans of 1896 into
the ranks of the bimetallist for the 1890
campaion.-B. Eddy.

Germany Now Admits Her Admiral
Was to Blame.
VAN DIEDRICHS REMOVED
SUCCEEDED BY PRINCE HENRY
OF PRUSSIA.
German Navy Official Says Won
Diedrichs Displayed Ignorance of
International Usage and Want of
Fact-Henry Appointed Because of
His Popularity In America.

| Berlin, March ga high official of
the German navy department has in
formed the correspondent here of the
Associated Press that the appointment
of Prince Henry of Prussia, brother of
Emperor William, to the command of
the East Asiatic squadron had been
considered for months past, and was
finally decided upon as being the most
available, the emperor desiring to show
the American people that he is thor
oughly friendly to them, knowing that
Prince Henry is popular in the United
States. When the official referred to
was asked whether the appointment
was equivalent to the disgrace of Ad-
miral Won Diedrichs, he said:
Not exactly. If Admiral Won Died
richs had shown more tact last sum
mer before Manila, it would undeni-
ably have been productive of good re-
suits all around. Our government, un-
fortunately, was advised too late of a
number of occurrences before Manila,
none of which were really important,
but they showed grave want of tact
upon Admiral Won Diedrichs' part. The
main trouble was that Admiral Won
Diedrichs was insufficiently Informed
regarding International naval usages in
such a delicate situation. Consequent
ly he continued naval movements, drill
and searchlight practice, as if else
where than in a blockaded port, thus
arousing distrust upon the part of the
Americans"
The above is important. being the
first German official admission that
there had been trouble between the
Germans and Americans in Manila bay.
The first regularly appointed German
naval attache at Washington, Won Re
beur Peschwitz, started for New York
today on board the North German
Lloyd steamer Lain, which sails from

BAILEY'S COURSE ENDORSED.
Texas Legislature Adopts Resolutions
After a Warm Discussion.

Austin. Tex, March 6.-There was a
lively discussion in the house this after
noon over a resolution offered by Repre-
sentative WOOten. endorsing the action
of Congressman Bailey in protesting
against the seating of Congressman Jo-
seph Wheeler Representative Tarviver
was recognized ana protested against the
adoption of the resolutions, saying that,
while he had d great personal admiration
for Bailey, he saw no reason why his po-
litical future anent the United States
senatorial race two years hence, should
be boosted TO the detriment OF gallant old
Joe Wheeler, who went to the front in
the interests Of his country.
Representative Barley from Dewitt
spoke in favor of the resolution, saving
that Bailey was a patriot in fighting for
the sound principles of Democracy and
the people of the south and the press
had sounded their approval of his course,
and the legislature should do likewise.
MIR. kittrell regretted exceedingly that
the possibility OF Bailey being a candi-
date for United States senator two years
hence should be dragged into the discus
sion at this time. when il was decidedly
out of place and not at all in keeping with
the sentiment Of the resolution.
After some further discussion the
house adopted the resolution by a viva
yTOca vote
