MI. Rnthbone,. Assimilation.

New York World: The Postof1cs
Department has been investigating
the accounts of its late Director Gem
eral Of Posts in Havana, Mr.. E. G.
Rathbone, and has reluctantly
been compelled to disallow some
ninety-odd thousands Of dollars OF Mr..
RatnooneA expenditures while up
holding the dignity of his Office.
1t must I've admitted that some Of the
disallowed items are such that wollt
naturally gar the average American or
Cuban taxpayer. For instance, it is
not customary in this country to call
on the taxpayers to contribute s45 for
placing gas fixtures over the billiard
tables" in a postmaster's residence.
and Mr.. Rathbone's ideas of the equip
ment of an official coach are wholly
inconsistent with republican simple
ity. While the president of the Uni ed
States is expected to appear in rub
ber-tired coach with driver and foot
man, we doubt whetner any appropria-
ton bill could pass congress with such
items as "boots for coachman, $31. 20; 4"
"Jipljapa hat for coachman, SIZES"
etc. AS the late A. Ward would say.
"This is 2 mulch"
But it must be remembered that
while nominally discharging the sunc-
ton of postal director ip Cuba. Mr.
Ratbbone was also carrying to the be-
nighted Cubans the mission of high-
er civilization and illustrating to them
the newer doctrine Of imperialism and
benevolent assimilation. Is it not I'M
kind to invest Mr.. Rathbone with the
functions OF a proconsul and then find
fault with Aim for living up to the
proconsular standard?

more ready money for Investment in
additional stock?
iir. Rockefeller has one small fam
lily to support He has no vices and no
expensive habits of any kind. He Dies
not even pay taxes when he can h9lD
it. Practically all Of his income is
available for reinyestment.
When a few men are compromising
their incomes at the rate OF so or 100
per cent and the masses OF the people
live from hand to mouth, saving moth
ing and lucky If they can Pay their
daily expenses without asking for
charity, It does not TAXI very elab-
crate mathematical cal ,Ilation to show
that the few will SION own all the
wealth OF the country.
The trust system hastens this pro-
cess. When business was carried on
by multitude OF Independent con-
Germs there was always a chance for a
bright manufacturer or merchant to
make little fortune that would give
him proportionately as large a share OF
the national wealth as was secured by
his richer competitors. But now the.
small merchant and manufacturer are
disappearing, they are being abb
sorbed by the trusts. The bright
young man who would formerly have
made stroke Of business on his own
account is now the hired man OF a
trust. He draws salary-a good one.
perhaps. as salaries 60. but not one
that could ever enable him to become
a rival Of his employers. For every
dollar he receives for the hire OF his
brain he enables his masters to pocket
twenty. The trusts monopolize not
only money but brains, and what
brains formerly produced for their
owners they now produce for the CAPT
talists 10 whom they are leased.
This IS as fatal as It's twin poison Of
military imperialism to republican
government. 1t is imperialism in an
other phase. It is the rule of the few
over tn many-the exploitation Of the
many. b. the few. The Declaration Of
Independence talks about all men be-
ing created equal. Is the man to
whom John D. Rockefeller pays 81 so
a day in any material sense the equal
of Mr.. Rockefeller?

GROWTH OF AN OCTOPUS.

Thirty years ago the Standard Oil
Trust had a capital of 81 900 GOO Now
its nominal capital is S11O, 600, and
the actual value of its stock, based on
market quotations and earning capa-
city, is over 100000, 600. 1t has in
creased its wealth. over NAn times, or
$4,000 per cent, in thirty years. In
the same time the we It'll of the ma
tion (including StandalI ID has not
increased over 800 per cent. If the
trust has increased so much more than
the average, the rest of the country
must have increased that much less.
And included in that remainder are
scores of other trusts, some of which
have accumulated wealth even more
rapidly than Standard Oil The Rookie
Teller combination cleared $4,000 600
last year on nominal capitalization
of $110,000,000. The Carnegie COM
pany expects to clear S42,000000 this
year on nominal capitalization of
$25,000000. When the trusts have
divided their 40, so, 100 and $50 per
cent, how much will be left for COM
mon people?
From 1882 to 1891, when the Stand
ard Oil Trust was comparatively a
small affair, its annual dividends aver
aged 81 per cent. From 1891 to 1896
they were ~ per cent. In 1896, when
most of the industries of the country
were in the depths of distress, and
millions of men were tramping the
roads vainly hunting for work, the
Standard Oil dividend jumped to 81
per cent In 1897 they were 33 per
cent, in 1898 80, in 1899 SO and in 1900
As per cent.
The defenders of the trusts some
times say that all this means nothing
that the shares of these corporations
are to be bought in the open market,
and that ii Sheir workmen are thrifty
and save their wages they can buy
them out and own the enterprises
themselves.
Let us see. A High Standard Oil off,
cial was boasting the other day that
his trust was friend OF labor, because
it employed $4,000 men at a minimum
wage OF $l.5O day. dollar and a
half working day is nine dollars a
week, or s46S year. Thirty-fve thou
sand men at that rate would earn S16,-
$4,000 a year, or almost precisely one
third of the amount distributed in divi-
dends among Mr.. John D. Rockefeller
and half a dozen associates.
If we call the average daily wage so,
since $3.50 is the minimum. these 3d.
600 men would earn $4,000 per week.
or s21, $4,000 a considerably less
than the dividends of Mr.. John D.
I Rockefeller alone.
Now, assuming that Mr.. Rockefeller
and his $4,000 workmen have the same
income, which is an extravagantly
generous assumption for the workmen.

Amerieanieina Canada.

Now that the canadian parliament
has adjourned, after a session of six
months. the newspapers of the domin-
ion are calling attention to the lengta
of its session and are discussing ways
in which it may be shortened. 1t is ad-
mitted generally that six months is
rather long to spend in transacting the
business OF 100000 people. and that
unless the members change their pres
ent methods Of doing business tne
length of the session will increase.
The members themselves say that the
chief fault is that they get only $1,000
for six months work, and say that
their pay should be increased or made
proportionate to the length of the
sessions. This remedy, however,
would not be likely to shorten the
duration of parliament. A better plan
is that suggested by John Charlton,
M. p, who says that some way should
be found to check the wind jamming

tity for quality" He favors the in
