Those Philippines grow upon Us,
and in many ways and directions.
We whipped Spain while she waited
for a good ready. but the war en-
tailed in the purchase of her Pacific
archipelago is liable to last for
months yet. There are more natives
in the Philippines than there are
natives and Spaniards in the West
Inilies two or three times over. And
ex-Miuister Barrett of Siam, who has
recently returned from visit to the
Philippines, says: "There are over
1000 separate islands, having an
area of 100000 to $4,000 square
miles, nearly equal to that of Great
Britain and Ireland; population of
5000, 900, an annual foreign trade of
$50, OOO,O 900 or one-ffth that of the
Japanese empire, and controlling the
approaches of $500, 600, 900 of foreign
trade with 500, 600. 900 Asiatics. To
acquire control over such an import
ant archipelago means q mighty step
in advance for the United States and
an expansion of our trade which can
not well be measured in dollars and
cents at this early day."

Only so long ago as 1896, it was,
that gold was being picked up and
boarded by every individual who had
the opportunity to get his clutches
on q pieco of that kind of money.
The result was that the yellow money
was rarely seen upon bank counters
and was more rarely presented in
payment in commercial transaction.
Now the situation has changed won
-derfnlly and the people turn up
their noses at gold when it is offered.
The banks are glutted with it and
are unable to get rid Ct it to their
customers, all of whom prefer cur
rency. 1t is not hard to understand
the reason for the change. It lies
simply in the fact that the people no
longer fear the enactment of . free
coinage law at the ratio of l6 to l.

The contrivaroe is spark extinguisher

He Welcomes the Trusts.

A correspondent Of The Age Of Steel
writes: Among my valued acquaintances
here in the East is gentleman who has
the distinction of being n much sought
and reliable public accountant. He Ia,
in fact, one Of the most reliable In tho
profession. l met him the other day
rushing down Broadway to catch train.
"Busy! Well, should say So" said he
In reply to my salutation. "Run to death
by trusts; can't begin to keep up with
calls; wish there were fourteen days in
each week. Whys get paid $25 to go
per day to 70 through the books of con-
Germs going into trusts, because the trusts
won't buy concern on its own represen-
tation of its condition, and 1 am called
in. My charges don't cut any ice in the
matter at all; 1t Is correct statement
they want.
.'And this isn't the best part of it eth
er, for the capitalization of these trusts
represents fully 80 per cent of water.
The absolute cash value, shown by my
reports, is usually covered by the pre-.
ferred. guaranteed, dividend paying
bonds, and these bonds are taken by those
inside the true:s, and the stock, which il
usually all water, is sold to the dear pub
lie. Now, It won't take long for the
public to get ite eye teeth cut, and to
wake mp to the fact that they have tackled
the wrong end of the mule, and that
they need not even hope for dividends.
Then there will be some high and lofty
kicking and an accounting will be de-
manded, and then will be again called
in. Oh, tell you these trusts are great
thing, aad catch them both coming and
going. But let me tell you something,
my dear boy, sub roa, you know-don't

choir sang some good songs. Why do
some people think Children's Day Is too
worldly; does such an opinion come

little child and set him in the midst He
showed how much there was in child
hood to be loved. That was the great
lesson to that audience, aud on these
Children's Day can we not DO in sympa-

little children with their willing efforts
to come unto us-to our hearta, that We
may be nearer the kingdom of Heaven?
