manned In the harbor of Manila after de-
stroying the Spanish squadron. The Terre
Haute Gazette has already ignored 16 to 1
as an issue, as 1t did in 1896, and is now
clamoring against expansion in every issue.
Nevertheless, when one goes out among
Democrats he finds that some Of the most
strenuous advocates for holding all we
GET are of that party. 1t is, however. Sig
nihcant that the editors of two of the lead

politics. the leaders In localities such as rep
resented the Democratic party in the last
Legislature, tenaciously cling to the silver
heresy and the readoption of the Chicago
platform. Unless there shall soon be some
radical change the Indiana convention TO
will adopt resolutions similar to those
which the Democrats of Kentucky nave
adopted.
Mr.. Morss has displayed no little courage
in his Eastern Interview in putting himself
personally against the reiteration of the
Chicago platform. but 1t will not strengthen
him with the Democracy Of his own State.
Besides. his reason for dropping silver is
not a sound one. He declares himself a be-

he would not contend for his faith at the

believes that the best interests of the coun-

for abandoning the fight for 1t for a time is

The fact that the United States cruiser
Newark ran short of coal on her voyage to
Valparaiso and had to be supplied with 200
tons of coal at sea by the Chilean govern
ment shows how indispensable coaling sta
tons are to a naval power. Before the
Newark was thus supplied she was reported
at various places along the coast, always
behind time and short of coal. 1t was in
tended that she should reinforce and final-
ly replace the flagship Philadelphia at
Samoa Fortunately, matters are settled
there, but the Newark might lave been
needed, yet she has just turned up at VAL
paraiso. The moral Of this is that the
United States needs coaling stations wher-
ever they can be obtained.

weeks OF turmoil the parties have come to

cannot agree. The agreement also provides
that 50 per cent. of the old employees will
be reinstated and hat the remainder, ex-

will be put on the waiting list. Both par
ties have yielded something. but the en-
ployes most. AS such d-isagreements. after

be referrerd at the outset to a tribunal

FAILURE OF INDUSTRIAL CON-
BINATIONS.

The United States Investor, a financial
perioa.ca, published in Boston. has collected
a complete list of the Industrial combina-
tons organized or projected since Jan. l.
1898. Some Of these projected combination
have not gone into operation and some OF
them have definitely fallen through because
of inability TO market their stock. In some
cases the amount at which they have been
capitalized is uncertain. but such have been
conservatively estimated. The totals are
as follows:
Nuu 20 ,omnsr;es 4s7
Amount of preferred tock........$1.6 LES. I06 900
Amount Of common stock........ 900 4sS
Total capitalization ...--.-........- 'ofV'oo,S>'
In 1890 the census made the capital of all
the manufacturing concerns In the United
States s.. lse. 1877. 7s5. AS a large part of the
Industrial plants are not included In trusts,
II is apparent that a very large part of this
enormous capitalization represents no value
whatever. Good authorities have expressed
the opinion that the common stock of all
these combinations represents nothing but
water and that the preferred stock stands
for more than the plants are worth. AS
Stunning that the preferred stock represents
full value. and that the rest is wind. only
% per cent. of the whole capitalization rep
resents real value. while IS per cent. is ficti-

One need not have any experience in bus
mess TO know that Industrial plants cannot
earn any dividend upon such a fictitious
capitalization. Indeed. the corporations
which have made enough money the past
ten years to pay dividends of 6 per cent.
