construction Of that building.
Here we have II Trust demanding in its
business capacity that the Federal Govern

shall. in fact, employ only Trusts in the
work on this Federal building: for Trust
labor will not recognize" non-Trust labor
or suffer its competition, but insists that it

Doubtless in its political and resolutions

firm and fierce for the suppression Of

There is much rare humhug in the world
and not the least choice is this believing
about Trusts by men who seek To create in
their own trade an absolute monopoly.

Murder and the Gold Standard.

Many shocking crimes of the Administra-
ton and more Of the gold standard have
been exposed. or the latest crime revealed
In" Administration and the gold standard
are equally guilty. The light that flashes
over this new horror is furnished by our es-
t""med Popugst contemporary, the Aip,tnn
Lantern, which Eliminates tho Prairie Dog
Creek region Of Kansas:
DID y"u ever notice that the regiments Of the
West ard Northwest have been constantly AT IN,
'front.' There is motive in this The Adm inistraton
hsaware that for every Western man who falls II,

the gold standard proposes to carry it end even II
it is compcle to murder silver men enough to ar.
compllsh its point
1t has been clear from the first to the true
sons of silver that the war in the Philip-
pines was heliish plot of the gold standard
against silver and the producing classes.
but the precise manner in which the Adj
ministration has helped TO carry out the
plot has not been explained before
The charges made by our Prairie Dog
Creek contemporary ought to be taken up
By the whole Populist and Democratic
press. They ought to thunder from Demo-
cratic and Populist platforms. Ii is bad
enough to murder silver without shooting
silver voters.

So far ms can be learned. there il hO basis
whatevc' for the recent story or an alliance
of several South American republics, with
a Wow to resisting the aTprehcnded aggres-
sions of the United States. According to
this yarn spun out Of the visit Of President
RoCA to Rio .Ianciro, Brazil, the Argentine
Republic, Uruguay and Paraguay were
likely TO TAX" part in such compact
There are no aggrrssons from us to he
feared by these or any other South
American republics. II they look for any
Interference by us in their affairs, II
is for the maintenance OF their indie
pendence against transatlantic press
ure rather than its destruction. Their
experience il moro likely To be that Of
against European aggression, or OF Brazil,
which found us watchful in her hour Of
need, that her freedom Of action a. an
American republic should be preserved.
1t Is true that we have recently annexed
Porto Rico and the Philippines, as the 10
with any South American State. The near
est approach to It was with Chilli, and her
ample redress for the Valparaiso outrage
against our sailors av"rtrd the danger
We are satisfied with our inevitable and
conceded leadership among the republics OF
stood by them all, whether Of the Atlantic
or Pacific or Caribbean coasts The talk Of
Il defensive alliance against us is bosh.

Spilting a Great Democratic Issue.

The Maryland Democrats uttered these
improving remarks about the Octopus:
I'VE view with alarm the multiplication over the
land OF such gigantic industrial commercial trusts.
the outgrowth Of Republican legislation. as stihe
competition threaten popular government. increase
the cost Of living and curta the individual rights Of
the people, and We favor vigorous measures by the
States and by Congress TO repress this great and
growing evil"
Passing over the amusing little fiction
about Republican legislation, We have no
hesitation in putting our hands upon our
heart and solemnly declaring that II there
are any trusts that stihe competition,
threaten popular government, increase the
cost Of living and curtail the individual
rights OF the people, we are In favor OF
bntchcring the monsters. We don't see
any such In the United States, but there are
said to In plenty of them in Octopodia.
where the water Is all land and the land is
all oxygen.
Meeting in convention on the same day,
the Iowa Republicans spoke these restrained
words about the same subject:
Industry and commerce should be left free to pur
sue their methods according to the natural laws OF
the world but when the business aggregations known
as trusts hurful to the people they must be
restrained By natural laws. and IL need be abol-
ished."
We take it that business aggregations are
restrained by natural laws already, but il
any of such aggregations are hurtful bring
on your artificial laws, IL there are not
enough of them for the purpose already.
But what is to become of this great DEM
ocratic issue il the Republicans insist upon
making it n Republican issue also. Even if
there were IA remedy by means Of an in
junction for infringement, the Democrats
would bc barred from applying for it.
Among sympathetic souls, however. there
will h" n feeling of Indignation at the cruel
~ Of the Republicans in spiking this great
Democratic issue.

The Dearth of Paper Money.

After resisting as long as he dared the
popular demand for gold certificates in OK
change for which gold coin was offered him,
the Secretary of the Treasury has ut last
consented to comply with it. Our people,
except in certain limited sections, have,
rightly or wrongly. a dislike to the use Of
gold coin in their daily transactions and
now that the time has arrived for moving
the crops to market. they want moro paper
money than usual. Therefore, the Secrp-
tary has ordered the printing Of $40 OOO.-
300 worth Of gold certificates, OF the de-
nomination Of $50 each the smallest that
the law allowa-and they will soon be ready
for delivery
This demand for gold certificates and the
hearth Of paper money which causes it, are
used by the advocates of bank currency as
IN argument for taking away from the
Government altogether its prerogative of
furnishing the country with paper money
Ind turning it over to the banks. 1t does
lot occur to them that the Government can
Irint small certificates as we'll a. it can
large ones, and that it can give in cxchang"
Tor gold its legal tender notes as easily A.
1t can give its gold certificates. All that
is needed to meet the wants of the people is,
therefore, to amend the law SO AS to permit
the issue against deposits Of coin either of
small certificates or of small legal tender
notes. Our preference is for legal tender
notes: gold certificates being an unneces-
sary anomaly, creatinga species of currency
with II preferred claim OH the Treasury
over other kinds Of government money
which ought not to exist.
People who are not willing to trust the
government to pay gold on demand for it,
legal tender notes, had better take care Of
their gold themselves, and the government
ought not to accommodate them by storing
1t for them in its vaults free of charge.

Judge 5. V. TuNEY, described by the Bur
fuIO Times rs one Of Kentuckys most dis
tinguished sons" was Intercepted by an
Erie Reservation reporter last week, and
yielded to an interview of which this is the
juici"St part:
go Are you Democrats of kentucky confident that
BEr>N Will be the next Presidential nominee of Your
part = wa> asked.
A. confident as We are that the sun will rise ON
th' day that the Democratic National Convention
meets, Vas the reply.
30 You might infer from M! Language that am a
silver man commented Judge ToSKr but l. am not
| am gold man. But the other gold Democrats of
III" state aud will support the party nominees
\ gold man but will vote the silvertirkct ,
Imagine JOSHUA lowering saying: " am
IA Prohibitionist but shall shortly open Il
rum shop" Judge ToNEY is one of many
gold Democrats to whom the Democratic
name is more than any principle. They
hav" no taste for being in a minority
As they were in 1896. They cannot
bring themselves to join the Repub-
lican party, the only defence against sill
yer recommendation. Let the gold standard
slide if it is to depend upon the Rcpub-
liran party for its strength, 4 little prin-
ciplc once in Il while is II good thing, but,
after all, the duty of a Democrat is to be "a
Democrat and to submit meekly to the de-
cision9 Of the Democratic National Convep
ton. Let that body decide what he shall
think and let him no longer kick against
the pricks.
The main consideration for men like
Judge ToNEY il to feel that they are Demo-
Gratis in good and regular standing. The
Democracy Of 1899 and 1899 may be as
different from that Of 1876 as Barren
Island is from Arnby the BEST. Never
mind! 4 Democrat is Democrat and
Judge ToNEY is bound to be one. We trust
that h" will he happy in returning to the
old stand.
Then will the sheen and the goats he di-
vid"d. The gold Democrats who want to
support the gold standard will flock TO the
Republican party. The gold Democrats
who want to he Democratic no matter to
what lunaci"s their party runs, will go back
to tho old fold.

Can the White Race Live in the Tropics?

Since our acquisition of Porto Rico and
the Philippines the question of the adapta-
blity OF the white race to the trOpirs has
become one Of practical Importance. Some
useful data relating to the subject will be
found set forth by DR.. WILLIAM L. RIPLEY
in his elaborate work on THE Races of Eu-
rope, which has been lately published by
the APPLEroNs. After pointing out that
the question OF acclimatiZation must be
kept carefully distinguished from such dis
turbng factors AZ alcoholism, and other
excuses. and national habits in RESPECT
Of food, he shows that there Is, as
yet, no proof that white settlers in
tn" tropics are afflicted with storilitv,
which is, Of course, the crucial point. He
admits, indeed, that the Spanish and Por-
tuguesn have hitherto been more successful
than the English, considered as cOlunists
OF equatorial regions, but, as he acknowl-
cdgrs that the Dutch who are the nearest
congencrs of the English, have managed to
acc"mmodat" themselves not only to South
Africa, but also to Java and Sumatra, there
seems to be no reason why. with proprr
di"tctir and sanitary precautions. Amer
leans should not bc able to adapt them
selves to the Philippines
The Portuguese and Spanish races, pre-
disposed to the use of light wines. and ready
to give up even these, suffer in the tropcs
incOmparably less from the disorders Incl
dent to alcoholism than do the English,
who drink spirits to excess. The mortality
resulting from diseases Of the liver among
English soldiers in India is skiold greater
than that experienced among the native
troops from the same maladies, and the diff
ference Is attributed by DR.. RIPLEY more to
the consumption of alcoholic drinks than to
IN" Influence If The climate This conclu-
sion Is borne out by the fact that the wives
aud children " soldiers exhibit compare
tIN' immunity from disorders of the liver.
