last breath Of life
American history will yet recognize
the defence Of fort SUMTER as the
most gallant and determined act in
the history Of this nation. Wrested
from Major Anderson in 1861. it did
not receive shot from the Fedcrals
until April, 1863, and then occurre d
the first trial Of the monitors. The
defeat seemed to place the Federal
Government on its mettle. and pre-
paratiOns were ut once entered into to
attack Charleston on every side. The
programme included the occupation of
Folly and Morris islands, and the re-
duction of sumter by gradual approach
and steady pounding
Up to September Fort Sumter had
been struck 5.G34 times by all the
missiles known in warfare. From the
18th to the 10th Of October l.115
shots were fred by tie ironclads from
October 20 to'Novcmber 9 there was
fired u total of 1866 shots. On the
I'd the monitors fired slowly at long
range, and every one of thc l4O shots
struck the fort. AT this time the
Fcdcrals gained foothold on the lower
end Of Morris Island, and erected a
strong battery, from which the fort
could be reached. At the close of the
l22d day Of the siege there had been
fired at Sumter:
Shots.
From land batteries - 1903
From monitors ... All
From monitor schooners ,4G7
Total. 2,741
OF this number 2,052 struck the
fort with more or less damage and the
others passed over.
From the 9Th of April. 1868, to the
last day Of November, the same year,
the Federals threw $4,000 shot at
Sumter, 1900 of which missed, after
that date no record was kept Of the
number. Day in and day out, night
and day for 360 days, the Confederates
kept an accurate account Of every shot
which hit or missed, and made re-
port of the nature Of the projectile.
When the war was closed Fort Sumter
was nothing but huge pile of brick
and stone heaped up as if great wall
had fallen. Underneath this d. Dris
was Confederate garrison with only
two cannon, but still strong enough to
beat off every attack by small boats.
The records Of war for thousand
years cannot furnish another such
case. During the siege the Gag g-s.aE
was shot away 1872 times end eighty
men lost their lives in replacing it.
Nothing was left Of the fort but the
lower bomb proofs. The debris was
in some places twenty five feet thick.
Since the war the Government has
spent over million dollars there. It
was under constant FIRE over 500 days,
and was assaulted again and again,
and yet it fell into Federal hands only
after Sherman movements made it's
evacuation matter Of policy,

The question arises. Which OF the
two great parties Of the day In II
country will you choose-which will
you make the instrument to carry out
great reforms and to lead mankind up
to a higher plane? | say which Of the
two existing great parties? For ex-
perience has demonstrated that. while
a new party can be launched and made
to render great service as an educator
and an agitator and as an advance
guard Of higher thought. such a par
ty cannot muster votes enough to &C.
cure concrete political action. Its mis-
sion Is Of an entirely different charac-
ter. and for the purpose Of securing leg
islation and introducing new govern
mental systems you have to do what
is called practical polltics-that Is. you
have to move along a line where you
can get votes enough to give you the
control Of the government. 1t must
also be borne in mind that the econom-
ic questions which | have been dis
cussing are not the only ones demand
ing the attention Of the American pco-
pie. There are a number Of other
questions that not only directly af-
feet the prosperity and happiness Of
our people. but that threaten to de-
Etroy the institutions Of this country

the same to this country as our is
now to the Philippines.
The president talks about "our bless
ed mission of liberty and h~umanity;;'
a mission of beer. Bible and rapid FIR
ing guns; Il mission that, according to
Otis, has already destroyed 5000 hu-
man lives; Il mission that has bonn
barded cities Tiled with helpless peo-
pie and produced widespread s1arva-
ton by setting fire to ripcnrd harveSts;
Il mission that rewards MohammcdanS
and kills Christians; n mission for con-
quest and greed; a holy mission for the
murder Of the innoccutS. Yes. 1t is a
blessed mission Of liberty to rnslave
5000, 900 frecmcn. 4 blessed mission of
humanity TO kill all those who refuse
to be slaves,
But the friends Of the president say
that he Is going to give them freedom
some day. When is that, in Gods name?
Is 1t after the best people over there
are all dead? Is it after 10000 brave
Americans have been killed by Il COM
bination of bullets and malaria? Is it
after we have spent a thousand mil
lions wrung from the patient toll of
the poor? If the president designs
freedom for the natives. why doesn't
he tell them SO? Why does he not say.
as congress said to the people of Cuba,
You are and of right ought to be free
and independent? If the president
would say this and the people believed
him, the wal would cease. rifles and
swords would be laid to rest. armies
would be diSbanded, and Il happy pco-
pie, redeemed and free. would joyfully
engage in the useful pursuits of peace.

MONEY PRODUCTION.
Trusts Nothing to the Wealth Of
the World,

The aSccrtaining Of truth and the
PRONUNCIATION of correct views of hui
man affairs and transactions would be
aided very much if an effort were
made to use words with accuracy.
Nothing is more honorable than MAX
ing moncy-1hat is, the producing of
something by which the world is on
riched. The farmer who raises crops
Of any kind or causes anything to be
that did not exist before. anything of
real use in the world, may be truly
said to make money. to increase
wealth. whether he succeeds in &C
cumulating or not.
The man who goes down into a mine
and gets out coal or metallic ore makes
money, and those who AXE the coal
and ore and produce iron, steel, zinc
or lead make money. They add to the
useful stores of the world. and there
is no other way Of truly making money.
In every economical discussion clear
distinction should be made between
over the products of labor which are
awaited of by the shrcwd and III
ScrupulouS and the actual production
Of wealth by the application of labor
to the soil or by taking raw materials Of
various kinds and putting them in
forms for use.
We have read Of late that certain
men have made their millions by the
formation of trusts. Is the world en-
riched by their efforts? Nothing Of the
kind. They have simply promoted the
capitalization of the earning power OF
certain business enterprises and Undue
ed some Of their fellows to buy inter-
ests In the expected future earnings.
For this service to limited classes they
have taken to themselves large re-
wards In various shapes. expected to
be realized in many instances as the
fruits Of monopoly or by the manipula-
ton Of legislation In the interest of pri-
vate undertakings. but there Is no
real making of money. tho world Is not
enriched to the value Of a single grain
OF sand. and the consideration Of this
and all kindred subjects would he
greatly Simplitied If those who sec the
truth clearly would not permit of such
schemes Of nonproduccrs to draw on
the wealth of the world in the terms
that are justly applicable only to real
production.-Alden S. Huling.

DOLLAR ABOVE THE MAN
That Is the Policy Of the Re-
publican Party.
NOT so WITH ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
He Feared the Time When Capital
Forebodcd II as the Approach Of
Returning Monarchy - Poor Taxed
to Maintain AN Imperial Army,

to Maintain AN Imperial Army.
l will take as my text the statement
that the Republican party Is putting
the dollar above the man. This Is the
very antithcsis of the Republlcanism
Of Abraham Lincoln. Why, in 1856,
when it was first organized, the found
ers of the Republican party appealed
to the people to take the government
back to the principles of Washington
and Jefferson! Today you would think
from its politics that Alexander Ham
ilton was the patron saint Of the Re-
publican party. said w. J. Bryan in his
Des Moines speech. But when it was
organized 1t appealed to Jefferson and
to Washington.
In 1859 the Republicans of Boston
were celebrating the birthday of JET
fcrson. Think Of Republicans cele-
brating the birthday Of jefferson!
Abraham Lincoln was invited to be
present, and in expressing his regrets
he paid to Jefferson as high an Gu
comium as l can pass upon him. And
to be Jefferson is to be the greatest
statesman the world has produced.
Mr.. Lincoln said that the Republican
party believed In the man and the dol
lar. In case of conflict it believed In
the dollar before the man. AS presi-
dent he called attention to what be
feared as the approach Of returning
monarchy in the attempt to place capt.
tai on an equal footing with or above
labor. If ! were to say that today.
what would they call me? Demagogue
would be the mlldcst term. Yet Lin
coin said il, and If he was alarmed
then what would be his alarm today IL
he could see capital cnthroned and la
Dor debased by every policy Of the Re-
publican party?
A bad principle will manifest itself
till the majority will see it. The hour
Of national peril came. the time when
wa was upon the nation. We could
not use the Income tax, like Great
Britain. for u Anglomaniacs have
borrowed everything that was bad
from England. but left all that was
good. We could not employ the in
come tax, as England does. to make
the rich pay for the national defense
out of their abundance. The Repub-
lican party demands a great standing
army. a great navy. an imperial policy,
but 1t cannot tax the rich to provide
them. 1t becomes necessary to look
about us to see what we can put stamp
on. | find the things every day on
which we a put them. If want to
send a telegram, | pay the same price
for the. message that l always did,
and then l pay a tax of l cent toward
the benevolent assimilation of the Fill
pino. The law was so drawn that 1t
might be construed to allow the tele.
graph company to shift the burden of
that tax to the back of the man who
sent the telegram. Why2 Because
the telegraph company had more inlu-
enc with the Republican party than
all the men who vote its ticket. We all
see it now.

is no rebellion In Luzon. The presi-

subjects of ours. They never owed to
us allegiance. They were a free peo-
