The Currency Questio or.
THE TRUST MOVEMENT.
Oar Gold standard, Not the Tarih, 10
Responsible for 1ta Ex-
SE8g fss&F85Es5 3istenc 4. Ss.fes

Regardless of what President Have
meyer, Of the sugar trust, may say, we
tassert-alnld we can prove---that the
gold standard, and not the protective
tariff, rs the mother of the trusts.
Trusts are organized to control compe-
tition, to reduce the cost of produc-
ton and to raise prices. Incidentally
the tariff assists at the birth. of the
trusts and nurses them after they. are
born; but if there had been no gold
standard there would have been no
trusts; and the quickest and most FEAST
BILE plan for breaking up these organ
izations is to restore. silver to it's legal
rights. Of free coinage, on an equality
with gold and supplement the produc-
ton of silver with issues of govern.
ment paper money. Trusts are the nat.
ural outcome of our long period of fall
ing prices and lessening profits; and
these are due, as everybody knows, to
the steady contraction of the currency
that has been going on since the de-
monetization of silver in 1873. The way
to cure the evil is to reverse the proc.
ess. With abundant money and
steady increase of population prices
would revive, consumption and demand
would increase and competition would
again come into the field and break
down the trusts. Under the prevail
ing system of currency contraction and
falling prices the volume Of consump-
ton is lessened by the inability of the
people to buy, and competition for the
decreasing trade and lessening profits
becomes so sharp and bitter that man
ufacturers of competing goods are COM
PEELED to combine and reduce their ex.
penses or go into bankruptcy. This is
the whole philosophy of the trust
movement, and it cannot be successful
ly disputed. The tariff protects the
trust is after they are formed, but it
is not the cause of their existence. Free
trade in trust manufactured articles
would undoubtedly break down the
trusts by bringing in foreign competi-
ton, but this would be very much like
killing the patient to cure the disease.
Instead of tinkering with the tariff
every few years, and thus keeping bust
ness constantly unsettled and nervous,
let us go to the root of the trouble, re-
store sanity to our insane financial
system and cure the patientwithout in
jury to our manufacturing interests.
Then after prosperity has been re-
stored we can tinker with the tariff
and bring that also down to 6, sanity
basis without hurting the vast inter-
ests that the tariff has built up. The
great need is d little common sense
and honesty in politics. s-

was ready for him. I was never more
determined to kill him than on that
night. I even fought off sleep to think
of his surprise when the bullet should
hit him. 1t was an hour after mid
night when he came"
"You heard the stairs creak and woke
up?"
"Not exactly. No, there was no creak-
ing, and the first knew of the fellows
presence was when he was ready to go.
He had been in my room half an hour,
and had thoroughly plundered me, even
to my pistol, when the idea came to him
to have a little talk with me. It was
his sitting down on the bed which woke
me up. For fear that might be mis-
taken in the party, he announced his
name as Jones, and his profession as
burglary. Then he went on to tell me
what an ass I had been to take the
trouble I had. For % years I had been
expecting him to come upstairs, when
there was porch and window as
handy as you please. I had planned it
all out just how Iwould shoot him, and
yet he had been obliged to wake me up
to let me know of his presence. He had
statistics to prove that there was only
one burglar to every 10000 families, and
that if he hadn't stubbed his toe in
front of my house, might have gone
on for another % years without visit.
He didn't want to pile it on too thick,
but offered to bet the 5000 in cash he
had taken from my trousers against a
cent that couldn't hit barn ten feet
away. His parting advice was for me
to use a baseball bat on burglars,
though he doubted if I ever would re-
ceive another visit"
''And why do you feel reieved?" was
asked.
"Wen, because I've been tried out
and found to be a failure. I shall
never hear burglar and never shoot
one, and from now on I'm going to
slip my watch and money under the
bureau and enjoy my sleep. As to
shooting, was that scared when the
fellow woke me up that couldn't have
held gun out if it had been tied to my
hand. Indeed, he felt it his brotherly
duty to warn me that if I didn't hold
my chin still I'd wear my teeth down
to the gums with the clicking, and he
likewise advised that I soak my feet
to coax the chills away from my spinal
column. Good man, he was, and Tn
glad he's come and gone and solved
the burglar problem for me"

Z Starving Right In the Heart
+ i -...rr = of New York.

Patrick Cawley, laborer, found faint
ing on the sidewalk and Central ave-
nue. and Thirty-eighth street, New
York, q dried bit of onion clutched in
one hand, appears to have had narrow
escape from death by starvation. Ac-.
cording to the Chicago Journal, he had
lived for two weeks on an onion day,
stolen from q grocer's, but the diet was
not very sustaining. Probably he
would have varied it had he been a
more skillful thief, but probably he
also had to steal what was in reach,
rather than what he liked. He was
taken to the Bellevue hospital, still
clinging to his bit Of onion. B \. t... =5..s
We do not altoge ther understand the
case Of Patrick Cawley. He must have
q perverse}or lazy disposition, or some
thing. He was laid off BY a contractor
two weeks ago and it was several days
after, probably, that Senator Hanna de-.
clared that any man in this country
who wanted work could get it. In view
of this perfectly plain statement it is
hard to see why Patrick CaWley should.
be found lying on the sidewalk nearly
dead Of starvation and clinging to q bit.
OF onion as though it were a ten-dollar
bill. There is some hing strange about
it. EitherP Patrick Cawley likes to starye.
slowly to death on an onion q day, and
is willful and cont umacious about It,
or else the great and wise senator will
have to make q little except to his
rule an exception large enough to

of greeting in the little adobe jail was
pathetic but brief. Lee forbade his wife

his mother remain at their rooms during

The bandits who perpetrated the hold
up near few days ago, were captured
near San Marcial after running fight
with a sheriff's posse. No one was in
jured, however. The thieves are natives
of Mexico, and had several $50 gold pieces
concealed in their shoes. They rode
horses stolen from private range, and
were well armed. Guards are now en-
route from Las Cruces with the prison
ers. Deputy Sheriff Hall and Ben Will

CAPT. NICHOLS SAD DEATH
He Was Engaged In Driving the Rebels
from Paranque When He Suffered
from Sunstroke on
Ship.

Manila, June 12.-The Filipino occu-
patton of the province of Cavite has
been broken. Americans now control
the important coast towns of Paranque
and Las Pinas while long line of in
surgent trenches has been cleared. The
insurgents have again proved their ia
cility as dodgers between 5000 and 1000
warriors, who seemed destined to be
captured, having disappeared under the
cover of night. Some came to meet our
troops with protestations of friendship.
The 18th infantry lost one man killed
and six wounded, the 9th infantry one
man killed and five wounded, the 14th
infantry three wounded, the 1st Colo
rado eleven wounded The work was
the hardest our army has seen. The
battlefield stretched out across the en-
tire isthmus from Laguna de Bay to
the harbor. While the troops were ad-
vancing the army gunboat Napidan, in
the river near Taguig, shelled the enc
my, killing several Of them. The mon
itor Monadnock and the gunboat Hele-
ma shelled Paranque and Las Pinas all
day with the full power Of their bat
teries. The rebel sharpshooters kept in
hiding until the American lines passed,
and then attempted to hit the strag-
glers from trees, without result.
The funeral of Capt. Henry Nichols,
commander of the Monadnock who
died of sunstroke Saturday, took place
at Cavite yesterday with naval cere-
monies. His death was particularly sad,
because it occurred just at the moment
when the result for which he worked
for months was about to be realized,
namely, the capture of Paranque. The
heat Saturday was most severe. The
monitor was engaged all day shelling
trenches, and rebels were fleeing south
through Las Pinas. Several hours be-
fore his death the captain said: "We
got the rebels there at last"

After Forty Outlaws.
SANTA PE LAND TITLES.
A Statement in Regard to Them by
Citizen,

THE City of Santa Fe, N. NJ, has dis
covered that not single property hold
er in the place really owns a foot of
ground. The city has no title of gov
ernment, and no right to collect land
taxes or authority over the streets or
the plaza. The courts have decided that
the entire Santa Fe grant was Illegal
New Mexico Letter.
The above is taken from a Kansas
City paper, not of course, giving the
authority, but it is going the rounds in
the eastern press, to the detriment OF
Santa Fe, discrediting titles and securi-
ty OF course, it is understood here that
there is absolutely no truth in this
statement, but at the same time 1T
should not be forgotten that it was
some of our own citizens who made it
A little over year ago some gentlemen
here, for the purpose of saving them
selves payment of taxes, advanced the
idea that no one in the city had title
" ldUu, anu tldL IL COulu AloL VIC teAAIo
They tried to impress this upon the
county commissioners, who promptly
repudiated it, and then they made a
very earnest appeal to the territorial
board Of equalization, which also sat
upon them. That they did not even
themselves believe their statement is
shown by the fact that they subse-
quently paid the taxes. These gentle
men based their assumption upon the
decision of the supreme court in the
matter Of the Santa Fe grant, found In
1855 United States Supreme Court Re-
ports, page 675, in which the court de-
cided, reversing the court of private
land claims, that the City of Santa Fe
as matter of right and law, was not
entitled to four square leagues Of land
But the court expressly refrained from
giving any opinion as to the title OF lo1
owners and of the city to the plaza anc
other public places, but intimated very
strongly at the close of the opinion thai
| the rights by possession and occupancy
convey good title as against the Unit
ed States. This opinion closes at pag'
716 with the following language:
"The petition is framed upon the the
ory merely of a right to four SQUARE
leagues vested in the city by operation
| of law, and as the record contains NJ
proof whatever as to the possessor!
claims of lot holders in the City of San
| ia Fe, or as to the actual possession EN-
joyed by that city of public places, thes
latter rights if any, as well as the as
serted title of the city to the swami
tract (Cienega), to which reference ha
been made in the course of this opinion
are not to be controlled by the rejection
now made of the pretensions Of the cit,
to title of the four leagues tract as
serted to have been acquired by opera
ton of the Spanish law"
! This language can not be construe
otherwise than that the actual lot hold
ers and the actual streets and publ
places occupied by the city are to b
recognized as having the possessory tt
tie good against the United States. Blu
the mischief has been done by som
of our own people, and Of course 1t wi
be difficult to correct it in the minds 9
strangers who see this statement, an
will not see the correction nor take tim
to investigate the facts. q.
