shalt the Nation Contract.

Properly speaking, the question is nov
not whether we shall expand. for we have
already expanded, but whether we shall
contract, The Philippines are now part Of
American territory. 10 surrender them
would be to surrender American territory.
They must, OF course, be governed primar-
lily In the interests of their own citizens.
cur first care must be tor the people Of
the islands which have come under our
guardianship as result of the most right
eous foreign war that has been waged
within the memory of the pres snt genera
ton. They must be administered In the
interests of their inhabitants aud TINT
necr. ,ariy means that any question ot per
sonGl or partisan politics in their otllnio's-
tration must be entirely eliminated. We
mast continue 10 put al the ncaue OK i lIauS
In the different islands such men as Gen
era Wood, Governor Allen and Judge Taft;
and 1t Is a most fortunate thing that we
are able to illustrate what ought tl he
done in the way of sending officers thitber
by pointing out what actually has been
done. The minor places In their admins,
tration, where it Is impossible TO i'll hem
by natives, must be filed by the strictest
application of the merit system. 1t Is very
Important that in our own home almniG-

without reference TO partisan a1sllationS;
bur this is many times more inporrlnt in
the newly acquired Islands. The merit svs-
TEN is in its essence as democratic as our
common school system, for 1t simply means
equal chances aud fair play for all.

be ruinous to our finances. If we are
to prosper the currency of this country
must be based upon the gold dollar

recognized in all progressive countries
as essential to a sound and proper sys-
tenn of finance.
Problem OF the Trusts.
One of the serious problems with
which we are confronted under the con-
ditions of our modern industrial civili-
zation is that presented by the great
business combinations, which are gem
orally known under the name of trusts.
The problem Is an exceedingly difficult
one and the difficulty is immensely ag-
gravated both by honest but wrong
headed attacks on our whole industrial
system In the effort to remove some of
the evils connected with it and by the
mischievous advice of men who either
think crookedly or who advance rene
dies knowing them to be ineffective, but
deeming that they may, by darkening
counsel, achieve for themselves a spu-
rious reputation for wisdom No good
whatever Is subserved by indiscriminate
denunciaton of corporations generally
and of all forms of industrial combina-
ton in particular; and when this pub
lie denunciation IS accompanied by pri-
waite membership in the great corpora
lions denounced the effect is, OF course,
to give an air of insincerity TO tne
whole movement. Nevertheless, there
are real abuses, and there is ample rea-
son for striving to remedy these abuses.
A crude or ill-considered effort to rem
edy them would either be absolutely
without effect or else would simply do
damage.
The First Thing to Do.
The first thing to DO is to find out the
facts; and for this purpose publicity as
to capitalization, profits and all Else of
importance to the public is the most
useful measure. The mere fact of this
publicity would in itself remedy certain
evils and as to the others, Ii would in
some cases point out the remedies and
would at least enable US to tell whether
or not certain proposed remedies would
be useful. The state acting IL its col
lective capacity would thus first find
out the facts and then be able to take
such measures as wisdom dictated
Much can be done by taxation. Even
more can be done by regulation, by

Ha. 5000, 900 silkworm Eggs.

Professor Carl Braun, of Bangor.
Me-. has 100000 eggs in cold storage
in his laboratory. They are the eggs
of the silkworm, and We're sent to him
from Japan. Professor Braun is Pres
ident of the National Science Associ-
alton, and long has believed that East
ern Maine is n good place to start a
silkworm industry. He is planning
to keep tie eggs in cold storage until
the Matching time comes around and
then the sun, warmth and stir will
do the rest. He says silkworm culture
offers an alluring opportunity to Maine
women and girls to branch out into
new line of work. He has made a
number of experiments and has found
that silk can be raised" in Eastern
Maine.

Lots OF Help Wanted.

The Omaha World-Herald was Mr.
Bryan's personal organ in 1896. and
during that campaign it made the
prophecy daily that in the event of
McKinley's election the depression and
distress among the working classes
would be widespread. The best proof
of the falsity of this prophecy is found
on the want pages of the World-Her-
aid. The last issue at hand contains
the advertisements of two females and
seven males who want situations,
while on the same page the "help
wanted" advertisements ask for 107
females and 115 males. This is in ad-
dtion to the "agents wanted" and
does not include the advertisement for
1000 men for railroad work. The ca
lamity prophecy was failure in Mr..
Bryan's own State, as it was else
where.

SALT PACKERS AT WORK I'M THE STORAGE ROOMS.

deep the salt becomes tightly packed,
and has to be worked loose by packers
with picks, shovels, grubhoes, etc, who
proceed to quarry, break up and pack
the salt into barrels. With the coarser
grades of salt made in the grainers
finer grained, vacuum-pan salt becomes
compact and very hard, and the packer
soon finds himself confronted by a wall
of salt twenty feet in height and as
white, if not as hard, as marble. To
Republican news item. [volume] (Laport, Pa.) 1896-19??, 1900-08-09

of salt is dangerous operation, and
involves long delays; and to overcome
these difficulties, the companies have
used a compressed-air driven spiral
auger, which is ten inches in diameter
and provided with a double spoon
point. The auger is mounted on
truck and the back end of the shaft
is attached to three-hGrsc. power ro-
itary air drill machine. A row of holes
is driven into the salt wall at a height
of ten inches from the floor for dis
tance of six feet into the mass, the
holes being drilled as closely together
as possible. After an interval of one
to three hours, a fall of salt takes
place, a mass equal to 400 or 500 bar
rels of salt being brought down in each
section. The saving of labor by the
use of the compressed-air drill is shown
by the fact that sufficient salt can be
undermined and caved in this manner
in one-half day to keep the packers at
work for two or three days following.

Part of the salt manufactured in this
plant is made by the vacuum-pan pro-
cess. In operating the plant the pans
are first filed by gravity, after which
the gravity supply pipe is closed, and
the valve in the pipe connecting with
the settlers Is opened, the brine being
drawn into the pans by the vacuum
therein as the evaporation proceeds.
The water and the air pumps are in
serted, steam is admitted to the steam
belt, and the process of manufacturing
salt begins. The atmospheric pressure
being removed from the surface of the
brine, the latter boils violently at tenn
perature which seldom rises above $50
degrees Farenheit. The brine rushes
upward through the tubes, and under
the rapid evaporation the brine becomes
SO dense that 1t can no longer hold the
salt in solution. Fine crystal grains
are formed, as the liquid circulates
through the large three-foOt opening in
the steam belt, and falling to the bot
tom of the pan they pass to the foot
of the elevator, whence they are taken
up and dumped into the drainage bins.
After the salt has remained in these
bins for period Of sixteen to eighteen
hours, it is drawn off into carts, wheel
ed to the storage bins and dumped. 1t
is customary to use the pans for not
longer than twelve consecutive hours,
at the end of which period they are
emptied, boiled out with fresh water,
and cleaned. One of the pans is run
during the day and the other during the
night, each pan making in a twelve
hour run from 600 to 700 barrels Of
salt, the combined production being
from 1900 to 400 barrels a day.
In the manufacture of salt it is a
recognized necessity that large guam
tity must be kept in storage, and for
this purpose the salt is dumped into
vast storerooms which measure from
200 to 500 feet in length, and the same
in width; the amount in store frequent
ly aggregated 100000 barrels AS these
rooms are from sixteen to twenty feet

The accompanying diagrams and
photographs represent the modern
state of the art. AS the brine is
pumped from the well, it is delivered to
the storage cisterns from which it falls
by gravity to the settlers, and from the
settlers to the grainers. In the settlers
it is heated to temperature of about
10 degrees Fahrenheit. Upon being al
lowed to cool, the gypsum, which, If it
were not removed. would form coat
ing on the steam pipes in the grainers,
is precipitated, and as soon as preo.pi-
tation is completed the brine Is drawn
to a long box running across the head
ends of the grainers. and from the box
it is fed to the grainers as required. The
latter are long, shallow tanks, near
the bottom of which, and extending
throughout their full length, is a series
Of steam pipes. The brine being ad-
mitted to the grainers, the steam is
turned on. the liquor soon acquires Il
high temperature, and rapid evapora-
ton takes place. To assist the precpi-
tation of the grains Of salt, the surface
of the brine Is agitated at frequent in
tervals by means of series of paddles
which are operated by lever at the
end of the grainer. The salt accumu-
lates at the bottom, until in the course
of twenty-four hours there will be a
layer from six to eight inches deep.
The salt is lifted from the grainer by
oF hnp Ia1 4
shovels, and is deposited on the run
away. AS soon as it is thoroughly
drained. it is shoveled into carts. run
out over the storage bin, and dumped
