THE DEATH OF Mr.. BLAND.

The death of Mr.. Bland removes from
the stage one Of the largest figures in
the recent public life of the nation. He
was not a man of the first magnitude,
as history measures men, but he was,
withal. a man of such singIeness IF mir
pose. unselfish devotion, to the right as
he saw it. genuine patriotism, and clear
grasp of vital questions that his passing
must be esteemed loss to his State,
his party and his country. He was n
man of the type and stamp that his fei-
lows can i'll spare at this time.
Nothing perhaps could give clearer
insight into Mr.. BANDS character than
his course during the Democratic Ma
tional Convention of 1896. Though the
delegation of his State was uncondi-
tionally pledged to him he instructed
the chairman of the delegation, that
if Mt any time it should appear advan-
tageous to the interests OF the party,
to cast the vote for another. Mr.. Bland
spent the day at home, in his orcnard.
He had always been one of the
strongest advocates of the free coinage
of silver and his steadfast adherence
TO that principle won for him the nation
al sobriquet of ''Silver Dick" Bland.

Here are some of Mr.. Havemeyer' s
phrases:
The mother of all trusts is the tariff
bill.
There appears to be i'm the public
mind distinction between robbery hy
an individual and by corporation.
What is commendable in an individual
appears to be dishonest in a corporation.
The day of the individual has passed.
If the mass Of the people profit at the
expense of the individual, the individual
must and should go.
1t is good business proposition to get
out of the consumer all you can.
Hands off. Every man for himself and
the devil take the hindmost.

them get together and form their own
trust.

HAvEMEYER ON TRUSTS.

The utterances of Mr.. Fl. o. Have
never. President of the Sugar Trust.
before the Industrial Commission. had
the supreme virtue of frankness. He
admitted that his company was out for
the dollar alone, that it had crushed
OUT rivals without moments hesitation
and expected to keep up that policy; he
repudtated the plea of trust organs and
apologists that the trusts keep down
prices to the benefit of the consumer and
admitted that they do so only when
compelled by competition or the fear OF
competition Mr.. Havemeyer finally sum
med up the trust creed in three lines:
Il don't care two cents for your
ethics. l know nothing about them. |
am talking about business
After the cant and hog-wash so boun-
tifully supplied from some quarters this
cold, brutal statement of Mr.. Have
meyer is very refreshing. As to ethics
Mr.. Havemeyer knows nothing about
them" IL hundreds of men are thrown
out of employment and reduced to
penury Mr.. Hayemeyer does not care
two cents" Mr.. Havemeyer is a man
with whom it is possible to do business
He is. a Bill Sykes of commerce ana
does not pretend TO be anything else.
does not pose a. a man 10 whom wealth
is a burden and whose keenest longing
is to find ways to benefit and uplift' his
fellows. If Mr.. Havemeyer were to be
hanged there is no reason to believe that
he would adjure the spectators, with Il
pious urturning Of the eyes, TO profit
by his example and be good.
The country has already made up its
mind as to what it viii do to trusts but
Mr.. Havemeyer for confirming with
unimpeachable authority and plainness
all the worst things that have been said
of them.
In telling what he wanted Mr.. Have
meyers lack Of modesty was as charm
ing as his candor in telling what he
got and how he got it; witness this para
graph:
Continuing his statement, he asserted
that a tariff of 10 per cent was high
as any tariff should be. He contended
that sugar is Disseminated agains. in
the tariff in the interest of the Louis
n no he, 1a<.4
kers and sugar growers of the Hawaiian
Islands. To these interests, he contend
ed. the United States contributed $24,-
100000 which was taken annually out
of the pockets of the people. The pro-
lection on sugar amounted to only one
eighth of cent a pound, or about 3h
per cent ad valoren. 1t ought to be
twice as much.
The $24. 100000 given to beet and SUI
gar growers is taken out of the pockets
of the people. The protection on sugar
is mere beggarly 31s per cent adj
yal0reni. Mr.. Havemeyer hcks his chops:
1T ought to be twice as much" Where
does the 80 per cent come from and
where would the twice as much" be
had! ''From the pockets Of the peo-
ple,' according to Mr.. Havemeyer: and,
next to Mr.. Rockefeller, Mr. Hayemeyer
has robbed the pockets of more people
than any man in this country.
Quite unintentionally, Mr.. Havemeyer
has done good days work.
