rection OF encouraging ship-buiiding
would mean the immediate distribution
there of at least ten million dollars.
one-half OF which would go TO labor;
and the possible expenditure of
amounts enormously in excess of this.
by the stimulating Of an industry cap
able Of almost indefinite expansion.
Moreover, the vessels thus built would
be an addition to the permanent wealth
OF the community. giving employment
ton, their profits bringing a perpetual
flow of money into the community
where owned. This money would be
new and substantial addition TO the
stock of circulating medium: for II
would not come from other domestic
channels. but would be from the mon
eys at present going into the pockets
of the foreign ship-owner.
The present annual expenditure in
the ship-yards Of the United States is
about fifty million dollars. one-half
paid directly as wages. The passage
OF the shipping bounty bin would prob
ably add Immediately one hundred mil
lion dollars additional to this expend-
iture. The earnings of the vessels so
constructed in the foreign trade and
the expenditures in their operation,
would throw annually into other
channels OF trade an amount many
times greater than the total Of the gov
eminent bounty.
These are some OF the reasons why,
az purely business proposition. the
proposed shipping subsidy bin COM
mands the hearty support of those who
look to the greatest good TO the COM
munity: the upbundIng of the mer-
chant marine. the enlarging of the
market for well-paid and skilled labor:
the turning into the channels of COM
merce In this country OF the enormous
stream Of gold which is steadily pour
ing from the pockets OF the American
shippers into the Golfers of the foreign
ship-owner; in short the upbuild-
ing OF this country's industries
and wealth, by aiding the American
people to do for themselves what Is
now being done for them. at a profit,
by the people Of European countries.
This seems like plain ordinary business
sense, as well as good quality OF
patriotic Americanism.

Democratic Trust Magnates.

Some Democratic and Populistic
newspapers have taken ID upon them
selves to deny the statement that the
dividends OF the copper trust we're what
paid for the running of three prominent
Bryanite papers In this country. The
Post-Intelligencer did not speak with
out the record. The late Senator Hearst
Of California, father of the ostensibie
owner OF these newspapers. was a bust
ness partner of Marcus DAILY and with
him and other associates owned the
Anaconda mine and other Montana
property. AT the time Of his death Sem
ator Hearst left a fortune estimated TO
be worth some twenty millions OF dol
lars. "a large share OF which was his In

greatest industries OF the country will
thus be under perpetual tribute to Sem

cotton planters.
The Democratic party shows how bit
terly il is opposed to trusts by select

There is so much cheap cant on this
trust subject from Democratic sources
that II would be refreshing TO have some
Bryanite newspaper point out just one
single man. high in the councils of the
Republican party and known by name
to a fair share of the people of the
United States, who is identified with
any trust. Certainly the often-used IL
lustration of Mark Hanna will not suf-
flee in this particular instance. for Mr..
Hanna has not dollars worth of stock

a trust, according to his own uncontra-
dicted statement. Democratic trust
magnates can be pointed out by the
dozens. and they all take an active and
prominent part in politics.

WANT Of proper information con-
corning the Missouri School for the
Blind, located atBt. Louis, has been the
cause OF many blind children growing
up In ignorance, when they might
have been educated and fitted to earn
q support for themselves. The school
Is supported entirely by appropritl-
tions made by the Legislature and is,
therefore, strictly State school Lib-
erai provision has always been made
for its support, and there is no charge
made for tuition or for board and
lodging. Pupils, however, must be
provided with ample clothing, ana
their expenses to and from the school
must be borne BY the parent or guar
dian. The blind OF the State should
not be deferred from taking advan-
tage Of the opportunity that the State
offers to become educated, because Of
the belief that the school, "home" or
"hospitaln where the blind Of all
ages and conditions are admitted for
treatment, or that IL Is an asylum for
the helpless and innrm blind. The
institution is simply q part OF the
great public school system Of the
State. 1t 10 in no sense ahome or
asylum, but simply school where
the blind children Of the State are
admitted for q limited time for tho
purpose OF being educated and put in
q position to do something for them
selves. e. q. Waters, Of Vandalia,
is Vice President OF the Board OF
Directors Of this State institution, and
will cheerfully furnish any informa-
tion desired regarding admission to
the school.

HANNIBAL, Mo-, Aug. Qs.-The
people Of Western Rails county are
discussing the disappearance of Judge
John d. Fields, who has been mem
Der OF the county board OF Rails county

Judge Fields was In Hannibal on July

ers and Merchsnts' bank amounting

poait, but he replied that he had pur-
chased q farm at New London from q
cranky old fellow who wanted the

In Saline Township, near Monroe City,

nibal he informed his wife that he in
tended to take q trip TO Texas. He

After Being in the Hands Of
Monster Mob.

AKRON, o., Aug. 2s.-This city ia

other State in the union.
