RUSHING THROUGH THE STORM.
There was squall coming on here. or at least
every appearance of one, and a good capful OF
wind came out of the angry sky. The lightning
had been spearing the waters to the south for
some time. But the racers made no preparation
in the way Of reducing sail. Both Shippers
were going TO take the squall all standing. 1t
did not prove of sufficient violence to be dan
gerous to the sticks, and, though careened for
a while TO an interesting angle. the two yachts
rushed on through the rain and lightning with
everything in good condition. They made one
OF the most spirited yachting pictures seen
since the Vigilant- Valkyrie III contests Of 1893.

boats had all the wind they wanted. there

of the leg and at the turn. The committee boat

found anchored and ready TO take the Omclal
times at every mark the yachts turned. She
was also at this second buoy. and her speed was
much admired. The racers were timed unofi-
cially at the second mark as follows:

Just before making this turn the Defender
seemed TO lose the wind and rams fire wofuly,
SO that some of the others lead at this point

The third leg Of the course which was sailed
with the wind abaft abeam. was almost without
incident worthy of note. According to certain

the Defender gained twenty-five secopds on this
leg There was a difference Of one minute made

following the Cepheus and the Corsair a good

crossed the Defenders bow. and gave the latter
boat an opportunity TO lie for the mark without
going through much water. The boats did
not alter their canvas going home. holding to
their small jib topsas, even when the wind

HIS APPRECIATION OF THEIR SERVICES IN
THE PHILIPPINES EXPRESSED.
Washington, July 6.-President Mckinley to-
day found an opportunity, in connection with
the visit to the White House Of a Pennsylvania
delegation. to express his appreciation of the
services of the volunteers in the Philippines
The delegation was headed by Governor Stone
and composed of twenty-five or thirty well
known citizens Of that State They went to the
White House to ask a request that Colonel Haw
klns of the 10th Pennsylvania Regiment. be
promoted to a brigadier- -generalship
The President said that no citizen of the coun-
try could have higher appreciation than he OF
the exceptional services and patriotic self-sacri-
flee OF the State troops in the Philippines. Il
should" he said, like to have an opportunity
to take by the hand and thank every individual
member of the volunteer forces remaining in
the Philippines assisting in the work there
beyond the term required of them by the terms
of their enlistment"
He added that he would make an effort to
arrange the itinerary Of his Western trip so as
to be in Pittsburg at the time of the arrival Of
the Pennsylvania troops, and take part in the
reception to be given TO them. With reference
to the promotion Of Colonel Hawkins. the Presi
dent said he would be glad TO give the recogni-
ton If there were military obstacles
The delegation also called on Adjutant- Cen
era Corbin. and made arrangements TO have
the 10th Pennsylvania Regiment brought 10

practically discharged at San Francisco. and
will be paid while on the way TO Pittsburg. The
people of that city have agreed to bring the

Income Tax Necessary.

The war brought into bold relief the
necessity for an income tax, SO that We
may reasonably expect popular support
in our effort to secure an amendment to
the constitution specifically authorizing
such tax. The money question is neith-
or dead nor sleeping. Can the gold
standard be regarded as satisfactory
when Il Republican President sends n
commission to Europe TO secure aid in
getting rid of it? In letter written
TO Lord Aldenhen. Nov. -, 1898. two
years after the presidential election,
and two weeks after the last congress
sional election, Secretary Hay declared
that the President and n majority of
the cabinet still believed in the great
desirability of an international agree
ment. Every argument made in favor
of an international agreement is Il con
demnation of the gold standard.
The failure of the commission to Sc
cure foreign aid in the restoration of bi-
mctallism is conclusive proof that we
must act alone if we expect relief from
recommendation, while our opponents
refuse to suggest any other ratio
in which bimetallism is possible. If
our opponents say tERt the increased
production of gold has made times bet
ter, they admit the correctness of the
Quantitive theory of money. whereas In

Tin Plate Greed,

With a protective tariff of $50 a ton
foreign competition. Absolutely pro
tected in gigantic monopoly, this COM
bine robs the public with unrestrained
rapacity and endeavors to keep the
wages of its employees down to the
starvation limit. Forced by the work
men in its employ to give slight ad-
vance in wages, the tin trust looked
about for the means of making good
thing out of the situation. With the
consumers at its mercy, the trust i'm
mediately raised the price of itS COM
modify 30 cents a box. which gave them
a premium of about 45 cents on the
deal. In less than n year the price OF
tin plate has been raised from S265 to
S431 a box. and the people who are
compelled to use this article have no
way of evading this outrageous and
oppressive tax.
Nobody gets any good out of this trust
except its managers. The government
gets no revenue, for the duty is prohib-
tive. The workmen get no benefit, for
the trust is supreme. The people get
no consideration, for they must pay tho
prices demanded or 20 without the
commodity. The duty on tin plate
should be reduced. Then the govern
rlent would secure revenue, the people
would be benefited and the rapacity of
the trust checked. But no relief will
come while the Republican party is in
power. Trusts are here to stay until
Democracy obtains control of national
legislation.

Protectionists on Defensive.

The weakness of the Republican tar
if system can be proved by a careful
investigation of the causes of Mr..
Cages announced deficit eff nearly
S90,000,0O0. 1t will be shown that the
Dingley law is not revenue producer.
1t will be shown that the Dingley tariff
Is prohibitive tax on imports. 1t will
be shown that as our ports are closed
to goods of foreign manufacturers by
the operations of high protection the
opportunity has been utilized by aggre-
gated capital TO multiply trusts and
monopolies. 1t viii be shown that the
eXactions of this system of concentra-
ton have grown more oppressive upon
labor and production. 1t will be shown
that though there has been slight in
crease in the wage scale of the country
labor has not been benefited, because
the opportunities of labor have been
narrowed by the increase of trusts, and
that there are actually more idle men
In the country to-day than a year ago
