kind of men who want to stay and fight
an insurrection for money or the fun Of
fighting"
Blight as they Grow.

Every day the blight of the trusts be.
comes palmer. President Dove OF the
Travellers Protective Association has
been telling the Industrial Commission
how the advance OF the combines is
driving men Of his class out OF employ
meut.
Numbers have been thrown out by
the National Euameling and Stamping
Company, side partner of the Tin
Plate Trust; by the Rubber Trust, the
Bicycle Trust, the Chair Trust, the
Steel and Iron Trust, the Paper bag
Trust and the Coffee and Sugar Trusts.
These combinations have discharged
hundreds OF faithful men who for years
have been earning livelihood as travel
ing salesmen.
President Dove lays particular stress
on the Tobacco Trust which has alread y
discharged over 1900 salesmen-35O OF
whom were let out by telegraph In one
day.
He cites instances showing that drum
mers discharged by the Baking Powder
Trust who formerly received salaries
OF 5000 and $500, have been re-
placed by agents whose pay Is 80 a week.
What is happening to the drummers
is not unexpected. The commercial
traveller Is the active instrumentality
OF competition. The mission OF the
trust is to crush competition and the
elimination OF the drummer Is part OF
the process.
The estimated number of travelling
statesmen In the United States, accord
ing to President Dove, is 100000.
Welded into an army aud voting for
self-preservation it can be force of
great effectiveness in resisting the
evil that menaces the commercial and
political independence OF the country
1t is not likely that these men will exert
their united and powerful influence for
the perpetuation in power Of the Repub-
iican party, the father OF the high pro-
tective tariff which the head of one OF
Inc great combines pronounces "tbe
mother of trusts"

HON. ROBERT ANDERSON
Writes 10 The News on the Issues, State
and National, for the Campaign Of
1N)-An Intensely Interesting Letter.

DEAR Col. JoNEs:-Allow me TO take
advantage of your kind invitation. 70
express an opinion as to what should
be the Issues made by the Democrats
in the state and national campaign In
1900. To begin with, Just word about
county matters.
We need d reduction OF taxes. To
have q sweeping reduction OF taxes,
we must have a larger number OF PEG
pie to pay them. Our present rate OF
taxation Is enough, and does deter
people from settling among us.
is there any present help for this
condition? say nothing here about
what may be done by strict economy
In administering county affairs, for |
believe our present commissioners are
doing their best along that line. But
come TO another tangible matter at
once. We ought to collect money due
us by other counties. II the debtor
counties are not now prepared TO nav.
why should they not issue bonds in our
favor? 1t would cost them no more.
We could easily sell the bonds, pay our
debts and reduce our taxes. When our
taxes have been reduced 80 that 2 per
cent. will pay state and county taxes.
IL viii do more TO induce immigration
than all the advertising ever put ON,
1t may not be possible to make 40
sweeping reduction at once, but every
new settler takes some part OF the bur.
den of the shoulder OF our presen,
population, and per cent. tax ia
practicable In comparatively short
time.
State politics merge somewhat into
national. At present the trust question
IS pushing Itself TO the fore. And
again, trusts and tariff are coupled.
FARMERS constitute about 30 per cent
Oh our national population. have
never been able to see why farmers
should have no protection a. all. and
~ The same time, be required to nav n
sarih on everything they buy. Truly
'armers have the heavy side OF Tho
'ariif burden to carry.
Mr.. Havemeyer, a Republican BY the
way before the Industrial commission
lew days ago, said "Tho mother of
vi trusts is the protective tariff and
gain; ut Is the government, throuob
Is tariff laws, which plumbers the peo.

Has UAdying Faith In the Cause Of Silver
and Believes 1t Win Ultimately Tri.
umph-He So Writes The News.
BOISE, IDA, June 10Th, 1899

BOISE, IDA, June 10Th, 1899.
Col. j. w. Jones, Blackfoot, Idaho.
My DEAR CoLoNEL;-I am just in
receipt Of your letter Of the nth, in
which you refer to the course some
of the Silver Republican newspapers
of the state are taking, and ask my
views regarding it. l do not believe
the Silver Republicans Of the state or
nation have changed their views with
regard to the great cause of bimetal-
lism. Some individuals may have seen
fit to renounce their allegiance for rea-
sons sufficient to them, but l do not
know of any Silver Republicans who
have been prominently connected with
the cause in this state who have de-
serted it. l believe in its righteous
ness as much as ever did, and have
as much faith that it will ultimately
triumph. Like all other great causes
it has its seasons of advancement and
apparent retrogression. but this will
not prevent the ultimate success OF 1t.
II the Republican party enacts the
gold-standard into law, as now seems
probable. 1t will have to run counter
to the platform on which it carried the
last election; because in that platform
1t pledged the organization TO the cause
of international bimetallism.
When Silver Republican newspa-
per goes back on the cause, it OF course
seeks to sustain itself by stating that
all Silver Republicans in its county
have done the same thing. We do not
hear from the ''other Silver Republi.
cans" except through the newspaper
which has abandoned the cause.
We have one fact before us which
cannot be denied. Had it not been for
the Silver Republicans in this state in
the last election the gold men would
have carried it. 1t is very clear from
an inspection OF the vote that the DEM
Ocrats could not have carried the state
without the cooperation OF the Silver
Republicans. The Populist party, by
running an Independent ticket, did all
1t could to elect the gold-ssandard Re-
publican ticket.
Very truly yours.
EDGAR WILSON.

AMERICAN SEAMAN A SLAVE.
SO Declares . Writer in . Masaxine, and
Tells why.

Tells why.
The personal treatment accorded the
seaman by the American ships officers
Is the most oppressive, because the
most acute. feature of his life. Ex-
treme brutality is the rule, almost
without exception. 1t is q standing
charge against our maritime law that
it requires no qualification other than
that Of citizenship on the part of sail
Ing ship omcers. In this respect the
United States stands alone among mar
itine nations of any consequence. The
result is that the men in authority on
board American ships are chosen for
their ability to drive" /. e., to beat,
the men under them. rather than for
their ability as seamen and nayiga-
tors. The reputation thus attained
iinds its sequence in an esprit de corps
leading to the commission Of the most
wanton brutalitiss conceivable by
minds trained to ingenious methods Of
iufiicting torture upon their subordin-
ates, and. undeterred by the fear OF
consequences, social or legal, declares
writer in the February Forum. The
frequent recurrence OF seamen's
charges against ships officers. and the
monotonous regularity with which
these charges are dismissed by the
courts. has created Il feeling Of indif-
ference. and even skepticism. on the
part Of the public. The charges made
by the seamen appear Incredible when
judged by the standard Of conduct
prevailing on land But 1t must be
remembered that the standard prevail
ing at sea is one Of practical slavery.
In which a Legree is an actual person
idcation. An investigation shows that
during the past eleven years more than
100 ships crews have brought charges
against their officers in ports of the
United States alone. This list in
cludes only those cases that have come
most prominently before the public.
Characteristic features OF this record
are: Fifteen deaths resulted from tho
treatment received: many cases re-
suited in the loss Of limbs, eyes, or
teeth, and in other injuries Of a per-
manent character. including insanity;
several suicides are attributed to per
secution; only seven convictions were
obtained. and, with one exception. the
penalties inflicted were merely nomin-
al: the names Of certain ships and
their officers recur frequently in the
list. At the present moment an Am
erican boy named Amos Stone, a ma
tive Of Boston and the son of respect
able parents. is an inmate OF lunatic
asylum at Seattle. Wash. - the result
OF treatment received at the hands of
the officers OF an American ship. An
other boy. Ephraim W. Clark. has
been confined In ThomAston lMaine)
penitentiary for more than twenty
three years for mutiny under circun-
stances OF the most extreme provoca-
ton. Such eases contain . kuficient

Help, help" she shrieked.


And almost in the same instant there
was crash of breaking branches and
a rush of many footsteps. Sense and
hearing were leaving poor Myrtle. yet
a strong, loving grasp sustained her.
and she realized that the eyes of
Harry Payne were looking tenderiy
Into her own. And then all became a
blank to her.
When she recovered her senses Har-
ry was bathing her forehead with the
clear water of the creek.
"Where-where is that-that terrible
man." she faltered.
"His keepers have him.
And then she beheld Reginald Claw
ering in the very unbecoming costume
of strait-jacket and manacles, sitting
on the bank at no great distance, in
charge of two burly men.

one OF them, addressing the whilom
