He also spoke, he said, for "a vast arm
of consumers of dairy products, who ar
constantly duped and swindled by

consumer is imposed upon and defraud

his rightful market. By means of thi
counterfeit the consumer is compelled tt
pay butter price for that which is moi

"The oleo combine and their apologist:
and defenders have a great deal to say
| about oleomargarine being a cheap food
for the poor. There is consummate
hypocrisy in this plea. You may notice
that the poor people are not making
this plea. 1t is made for the purpose oil
overreaching the poor.
1.-The friends OF this measure are the
true friends of the poor, for they ask that
the force of law and the burden OF ouerous
taxation be turned against the counter
felt, while the article which is not colored
to deceive can have free course"
There is no credible evidence to show
that oleomargarine is innocuous; no
evidence to show that when eaten con-
tinuously in place of butter, it is not
harmful.
"But there are reports in great abun-
dance to the effect that oleomargarine is
harmful.
"But there is another phase of this
question. There is absolutely no protec-
ton for the public against the intro
duction of dangerous and positively
compounds in oleomargarne.
There is no reason on earth why the
roulest of germ laden fats should not be
used in the making of this compound,
when once they are deodorized by the aid

on Lord Salisbury and wondered al
his position in the jameson raid
which he thought was one OF 1.-THE
most impudent attempts and auda'
cious violation OF neutrality ever per-
petrated in modern history" He
considered Kipling, the writer, as a
wandering romancer, who was on
an evil mission for the Beers in South
Africa. He went over the history of
the Beers for the last 100 years now
so familiar to people in this country,
beginning with 1895 when some
Beers were executed. He claimed
that there had been no continuity of
policy by the British; that the
country was a barren waste, and
they failed to make treaty with the
natives as William Penn did with
the Indians, so they had a hard
struggle wirh the Kaffirs. England
acknowledged the independence Of
Transvaal in 1852 in the Sand River
conference, which continued until
1877, but when the Kimberly dia-
mond mines were discovered, they
came in and anarchy reigned largely;
but in 1881 the Beers got their free
dom. Great Britain kept up kind
of suzerainty over local affairs for
time. Kruger in 1884 invited for
eigners to come in and two years
later when gold was discovered at
johannesburg there was a great in
flux, mostly of Englishmen. This
mixed population got up a petition
with 2,100 names on the subject of |
of franchise although opposed by a
petition of $4,000 Uitlanders who
were satisfied with their condition,
but President Kruger declared that
they must renounce their allegiance
to their Queen. He thought Presi-
dent Kruger had acted honestly.
Americans insisted that the progress
of civilization demanded that the
prestig of England should be main
tanned. Mr.. White thought that as
johannesburg was only 35 miles
from Pretoria, it might be an abso-
lutte necessity for the Beers to des-
troy it and he personally should be
sorry for he owned $4,000 worth of
real estate, but he did not state
it was insured. This place
has been largely built up by the Eng
fish, and it might afford them base

THE EFFECT OF IMPERIALISM ON
LABOR.

"The vicious principle of Government in.
reference with individual liberty" declares
the Chicago Chronicle, "has been the per-
sistent rule of Republican policy.
ats latest Developments development
consistent with Its antecedents-is the policy
of imperialism, by which first the liberty of
millions of aliens is taken away by force
under the American flag, and next these
enslaved millions are TO be placed in COM
petition against the labor of free American
workingmen.
1.-THE intelligent American workingman
asks nothing OF the government of the United
States but safeguard of his life, his liberty
and his right to sell his labor at the highest
price and to buy his necessaries at the lowest.
Each of these rights, which ought to be
inslienable under our Constitution, the Re.
publican policy, past and present, has in.
fringed. Future infringement under i'm
perialism and militarism will be still more
oppressive upon American labor.
"Give American labor an equal chance
and it wins against the world. The Repub
lican policy Of Imperialism will allow it NO
4 chance without taxes for militarism, which
will eat off half its wage"

Here are few of the reasons why the
"plain people" are not inclined TO meekly

organs and speakers showing what a
natural, necessary and beneficent insttu
ton the trust is:
1t requires so per cent more wheat to buy

1t requires twenty bushels more corn to
buy wagon than it did in 1896.
1t requires 100 per cent more corn oil
wheat to buy copper kettle than in 1896
1t requires twice as much corn to buy q
coil of rope as in 1896.
1t requires 40 per cent more grain to buy
plough than in 1896.
1t requires rs per cent more grain to buy
a hoe, rake, or a shovel than in 1896
A common set of common wheels thai
cost 81 in 1896 now costs $12.
The price of cultvators and other farm
implements has gone up proportionately.
Galvanized barbed wire costs from 81 To
$3.50 per hundred more than in 1896
1t requires 40 per cent more corn or cotton
to buy pound of sugar than in 1896.
You have to pay 40 per cent more fol

THE OHIO RACE LS6UE

The mob outbreak at Akron, Ohio, orig.
mating in an attempt to lynch negro, com.
ing 30 soon after the riot In New York,
seems to suggest that there is a wide field
north Of Mason and DiXon's line for mis-.
sionary work for Miss Jewett and others Of
her class. Friends of the South have point.
ed out TO Northern fanatics all along that if
they were subjected TO the same conditions
as the Southern people they would defend
themselves by the same means. This con-
tention is conclusively established by the
mob disorders In New York and at Akron
The crimes which occasioned these disturb
ances are comparatively rare in those Sec
tons, owing 10 the preponderance of white
population, but they caused in both instances
intense excitement and wild desire for VEN
geance. 1t was not the crime only which in.
censed the people Of Akron, but the color OF
the criminal, as is shown by the fact that 1t
was thought necessary TO remove from the
jail there another colored man under arrest
on some minor charge. II such outbreaks
are possible in Ohio and In one Of the most
Republican sections OF that Republican State,
and as the result OF All isolated crime, is it
any wonder that lynchings take place in the
South, where the people are surrounded by
a semi civilized negro population and where
brutal assaults on women are OF almost week
ly occurrenceH Compared with Ohio and
New York the patience of the Southern peo.
pie has been phenomenal. Had these sections
been called on TO endure what the South
has gone through there would have been
very few negroes left alive there by this
time. The Northern brother is good
preacher of peace and righteousness when
he is not the object of attack, but when he
is, he shows that human nature is the same
in one section as the other and that in spite
of all his talk he will stamp out savagery
with even greater sterness than the Southern
white man.-BaltimO7e Sun.
