A Hollow Mockery.

The selfish and criminal policy of
Imperialism cares no more for the val
liable American lives which it is sacri-
hcing IN the Philippines than for the
money of American taxpayers which
1t is spending in the effort to crush out
the liberties of the Filipinos. The
price which We have already paid for
that policy is a costly and a bloody
one and the horror and the burden of
1t are slowly but surely making itself
felt Throughout the length and breadth
OF the country. The Philippine war.
In fact, is beginning to come home to
many thousands of persons, and to
give practical point and application to
the abstract arguments against it. 1t
has been most truthfully said that the
killing of hundred Filipinos could
not make up for the loss of one such
life as that of the brave and dashing
Major John A. Logan, who fell in the
charge at San Jacinto a few DAYS ago.
The regret which is excited by his
death is intensified by the reflection
that his life was sacrificed not only
needlessly, but willfully, by the policy
which has forced the country into a
war of criminal ggression.-Balti-

Control Grain.

Testimony taken for the Congress
sional Industrial Commission in Chi
caSo recently threw a flood of light
upon the free silver craze. the fury
against railroads and corporations
generally, and all the other phases of
political eccentricity among the farm
ers of the west and northwest during
the past ten years.
In the most favorable condition the
most OF these years would have been
hard because of short crops and small
prices. But, as the testimony showed
the conditions were made intolerable
by these facts:
That i've men have been meeting,
and still meet, in Chicago every morn
ing and decide what the farmer shall
be paid for his grain; that this pur-
pose is to maintain the profits of
transporters and dealers in grain. no
matter how low market prices may
go; that, as these men represent and
control all the means by which grain
is sent from the farms to the market.
their decision has been and is final.
Among these who testified to this
state of farmer servitude was Charles
CounSelman, one of the five men who
constitute the Executive Committee
OF the combine"
Iowa, through it's intelligent railway
legislation, aided by competition, has
been to an extent free from this dom
nation In spite of hard times Iowa
stood firm for sound money and con-
servatism. But in general these five
dictators have been goading on the
farmers to unreasoning fury and to
eager reaching after any remedy that
seems to hold out the faintest pros
pect of relief.
The point is: So long as the grain
trust exists so long will a recurrence
of political lunacy depend only upon a
return of short crops and low market

pretty generally known among his col

dressed for the character of Sir Bril-

the reply, whereupon Bannister re-

Hanna Urged to STAY,

Senator Hanna's friends in Wash
lngton are responsible for a story to
the eject that, while the powerful Re-
publican boss personally wants to re-
tire from the leadership of the Ma
tional Committee, he will not consent
to step down and out in the face of a
hostile demonstration by his political
enemies. President Mckinley is said
TO be opposed to the Senator's retire
ment. He believes that the public
would view it as an evidence of weak
ness. He is reported 20 have person
ally urged the Senator to retain the
place and is confident that his request
will be honored by favorable declar-
alton from Mr. Hanna when the COM
mittee holds its next meeting in

she would rather kiss the Book than

Renehceas Trusts.

The theory mat trusts reduce the
cost OF the necessarieS of life and are.
therefore, beneficial in their nature,
was sweetly presented in some re-
cent public remarks by New Jer-
sey's Governor Foster Nj. Voorhees,,
not long ago. Since the date OF the
Governors remarks the trusts have
got in some of their beReficent work,
and with results that may partly be
summarized in these advances in
prices:
Dressmakers' supplies, 10 to 25 per
cent
Envelopes. 40 per cent.
Enameled ware, so per cent
builders hardware, 45 per cent
Iron beds, 35 to 60 per cent
Brooms, 40 to so per cent
Copper wire, 100 per cent.
Chairs, 20 to 3315 per cent.
Furniture, 25 per cent.
Flour, 80 cents a barrel
Glassware. 20 per cent.
iron, 100 per cent
Knit wool, 81 to $1.50 per dozen.
Plumbers supplies, 80 to go per
cent.
Shoes, 10 to 20 per cent.
Rubber, large advances.
Common soap, % cents a box
Spool cotton, to % per cent.
Salt, 10 to 10 per cent.
Stoves, 25 to 33 1-3 per cent.
Teas, 10 to 10 cents pound.
Tinware, 100 to 500 per cent.
Wall paper, % to so per cent.
THESE prices are taken from written
reports of authorized agents OF the
trusts, and they represent in most
part purely arbitrary advance. The
advantages claimed for the trusts are
the elimination of useless plants. the
reduction of the expense of office sal
aries, economy in labor and fuel and
In buying and selling, etc. These eco
nomical advantages should work a re-
auction of prices Tor the consumer.
but insatiate monopoly has pocketed
all the profits accruing therefrom, and
besides advanced prices to the utmost
limit of extortion.
1t is certainly time for New Jerseys
Governor, Foster NJ. Voorhees,, to over
haul his true catechism and make
some new notes on the subject of the
trust as beneficial institution that re-
duces the cost of the necessaries Of
life.-Newark Daily Advertiser.
