Mr.. Hsvemeyer's testimony before
the industrial commission repays
careful study. For instance, he de-
clares that trusts enable the manu-
facturer to make an assured profit,
while they keep prices down to the
consumer In order TO prevent compe-
tition. We do not see why the free
silverites do not at once adopt the
advocacy trusts. What Mr.. Have
meyer says Of trusts Is exactly what
Bryan and the free silverites declare
will be accomplished by the magic Of
free coinage. They declare 1t will
raise prices and so bless our manu-
facturers; 1t will lower prices and 40
enable our manufacturers to under.
sell the manufacturers of Great
Britain In the South American mar
ket AS trusts appear to be hocus-
pocus which will do all that free
silver ever claimed to be able to do.
why does not Mr.. Bryan start out
preaching a new crusade in favor of
a universal trust for everything?-

Cuba must be A merica uixed.

Nearly every one who was In Cuba
during the war, or has had opportun-
ity for observation since the Amer
lean occupation, has spoken in praise
of Generals like Gomez and Garcia.
But nearly all Of the returning sol
ders and many Of the public men,
who went to Cuba, have found moth
ing to praise in the rank and file Of
the so-called Cuban army. Colonel
John Gary Evans, formerly Governor
of South-Carolina, and for some
months member of Gen. Ludlows
staff in Havana, declared recently:
"If you could have seen the army
that marched into Havana behind
Gomez, you would have acknowledge
ed the impossibility of decent self
government on that island. or all
the heterogeneous assemblages ever
gathered this was the worst. Coxey's
army was company Of aristocratic
gentlemen by comparison. All this
talk about the patriotism Of the
Cuban army is myth. They were
largely actuated by desire for plum
der and for Office. They now want
to rule the island, because they see
their chances for looting the treas
ury will not be good so long as it re.
mains under American control. TIC
turn the island over to the Cubans
would be worse crime aginst civil
ization than to have the Spanish al.
lowed to rule it,"
Similar views are expressed by
every army officer who has seen SER
vice in Cuba. Those who have been
enthusiastic in the belief that the
Cubans were capable OF self-govern-
ment, have declared that army Of
fcers would naturally take an un-
favorable view of undisciplined
troops, even though the men were
courageous and effective soldiers.
But Ex-Governor Evans can not be
charged with harboring the preju.
dices OF tie regular army. He speaks
for civilians as well a. soldiers. He
testifles on the subject as every Other
American VINO has seen the Cubans
close at hand has testified. and makes
it plain that IL any stable govern.
ment is established and maintained
in Cuba, it must be established
against the opposition OF the ad
venturers of the old Cuban army and
must be maintained by annexation
to the United States.
The process OF Americanizing Cubs
has been going on by the consent and
with the assistance OF the better ele
ment Ia Cuba. This better element
is as much opposed to the control o.
the noisy, insurgent riffraff as to the
control of the Spaniards. In the re
Mobilization OF Cuba the Cubans VIII,
