How it Shines.

A message to Congress by the President
advising turning over the revenues tc
Porto Rico, which had been collected
under the Dfngley tariff on imports from
the island since falling into the hands Of
the. United States, was one of the most
ludicrous performances that the admin
istration has yet exhibited. The measure
was promptly concurred in by the House.
At the same time bill creating tariff OF
IS per ceat o:,he Dinghy law was being
considered by Congress.
First collect duty on Portorican goods
and then for sweet charity's sake give it
back But there is method in such mad
ness. The trusts maintain the price of
their goods under the tariff and bleed the
people of the United States. That being
accomplished the government gives back
to Porto Rico the tax they pay for the
privilege of selling goods in our markets.
1t is in order TO say of this administration
and this Mckinley party of ours
what John Randolph said of Henry CLAY.

The devil took him up in high
mountain and showed him all the king
doms of the earth and promised to give
them to him if he would fall down and
worship him.
This is just what the devil of greed is
doing now with the American people;
pointing out the fabulous wealth that
awaits them in the Philippine Islands and
China if they will fall down and worship
him. None of this wonderful wealth if
it ever materialized would reach the
American people, only the millionaires OF
the banks and trusts would receive it.
The people would pay the taxes to sup
port foreign army and navy to protect
the property of the trusts.

The one conspicuous feature about the
Republican party policy, or those who
speak for it by authority, is that it is all
for markets, all for trade. Humanity is
no where mentioned. 1t has no place in
their civilization. 1t is dollars, only dol
lars; man has no place in it. Chauncey
Depew's plea was all force aud trade.

When speak of this as the era Of the
plutocrat nobody can understand me.
Everybody has recognized the rise of the
money power. Its growth not merely
stiles the independence of the people but
the blind believers in the omnipotent

condones every offense. The pulpit

Mckinley was at first in favor of free
trade with Porto Rico, because it was
constitutional, and to impose tariff
on any goods from part of United
States territory by the United
States would be a violation of the
Constitution. But when he heard from
the next room, where Hanna puts up, he
reversed his opinion and went in for q
tariff on "our new possessions.

of contest in the courts. The Ocean

pany, over which the trains of the
Central railroad and of the Pennsyl-

whereby the railroad company agrees
not to stop at Asbury Park on Sun

test the matter to the bitter end " 1t

OUR FIRST POSTAL RATES.

of postage went into effect on June 1,
1892, with rates as follows:
Not exceeding 30 miles, cents.
over 80 and not exceeding GO miles,
cents.
Over 60 and not exceeding 100 miles,
10 cents.
Over 100 miles and not exceeding
100 miles, 1879 cents.
Over $50 and not exceeding 200
miles, 10 cents,
Over 200 and not exceeding $50

Over 25O and not exceeding $50

Over $50 miles, rs cents.
1t would seem that postmasters of
that day must have been greatly per-
picked in adjusting the rates on each
letter under such diversified sched-
ule as the above The weight limit
was one ounce (single), but a single
letter was single sheet, two sheets
double, three sheets triple, four sheets
a quadruple letter, even if the whole
four did not exceed an ounce.

STATE FIREMEN's HOME.

The State Firemen' Relief Associa-
ton is completing its arrangements
for the dedication of the Firemen S
Home at Boonton, on the 23d instant.
All exempt fremen in the state are
cordially invited to attend the cere-
monies. 1t is probably that number
of the members of the Morristown Ex-
emDt Firemen's Association will at
tend. Arrangements will be made at
the regular monthly meeting to be held
on the evening of the 18th instant.
The state made it's last payment of
S21, 900 for the Home on Monday.
This completes the expenditure of
$75 600 for the property and the home
which the state authorized the state
firemen S commission to expend for
this distinct purpose.
The state home does not cost the
state penny, but the state has con-
troll of it. The money is raised from
the two per cent. fee collected from
fire insurance companies organized
outside of the state who are now doing
an insurance business in the state.
The money formerly went to the ex-
empt fire associations scattered
throughout the state, but it has for
three years been devoted to the pur-
chase and Improvement Of the home,
and what is to follow will be used for
the maintenance of the home.

CAN'T STAND BRYANIsM.

In an article on Bryanistic Blight"
the Jersey City Journal notes facts
which are especially significant at
this time, as follows:
The late Samuel J. Tilden kept a
list prior to important elections OF the
prominent men who abandoned their
PARTY and scanned their reasons in
order to get line on the trend OF
public thought.
If he were alive now he would note
the fact that no prominent Republican
has abjured his faith, and that many
Democrats are coming out on the
peoples side in this campaign.
Frederic P Olcott, who was elected
as a delegate to the Republican Ma
tional Convention to represent the
Third Congressional District in this
state, has been Democrat all his life.
He was opposed to Organism four
years ago, but did not formally leave
his party until it became a certainty
that BRYAN was to be its candidate
again. Mr.. Olcott is president of a
large banking institution in New
York. and exerts a wide influence.
Ex-Chief Justice Morse, of Mich1-
gan, WHO WAS CtbuttlIdtC AOi SSSO4ANA
place on the Democratic ticket four
years ago, until Bryan and the Popu-
lists captured the Democratic Nation
al Convention and party machinery.
has come out for Republicanlsm, and
was elected delegate to the state
convention.
Supreme Court Judge R. A. Mont
gomery, of Lansing, Mich. has also
abandoned Democracy and come out
as Republican.
Ex- Congressman Belford, of Colora-
do, who went astray on the silver
question and joined the Bryanites
four years ago, has returned to his
place in the Republican ranks, and
says:
1.-THE Democratic party could not
be trusted for anything. 1t could OPP
pose things and sometimes be right
in its opposition, but it never could
do anything right itself and often in
terfered with good things that others
were doing.
Even Arthur Sewell, of Maine, who
was one of Bryan's running mates
four years ago, has abandoned the
fight and gone to Europe to be away
until after election.
Organism will drive away all the
business men and the brains of the
party.

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 class
es would be widespread. The best
proof of the falsity of this prophecy is
found on the want pages of the World
Herald. The last issue at hand con-
tains the advertisements of two fe-
males and seven males who want stu
ations, while on the same page the
help wanted" advertisements ask
for 107 females and 115 males. This
is an addition to the agents wanted"
and does not include the advertisement
for 1000 men for railroad work. The
calamity prophecy was failure in
Mr.. Bryan's own state, as it was else
where.

ASSESSMENT OF BANK STOCK:

The state board of taxation has di-

the state to the changes made in the
tax laws for 1900 concerning the as
sessment of bank stock. Every per-
son shall be assessed in the city,
township or ward, where he resides
for all shares of the stock of any ma
tional bank in this state, or held in
their possession as trustees, guardian,
executor or administrator, and in case
they are non-residents of the state,
then they shall be assessed for said
shares in the city, township or ward
where said bank is located. =

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.


Statisticians who are interested in
the problem of municipal ownership
would do we'll to ponder over the fol-
lowing figures from the books of the
Borough Clerk The amount due for
the quarter ending April l, for water
and light We're:
Water by faucet, 1891 90
Water by meter, l,956 %
Electric light, 1876 30
Total, So, 023 80
1t is safe to assume that the
amounts for subsequent quarters will
be as large. New applications for
lights are continually coming into
the Borough Office and at every Coun-
Gil meeting many requests for lights
are granted. The income of the plant
this year will therefore exceed 500, 900.
The expense will not be very much
more than $40, 900, which estimate in
cludes the salaries of operatives coal
bills, repairs and interest on bonds.
Thus it will be seen that the borough
will receive from its plant net in
come of $1,000
How is this for argument for those
who favor municipal ownership

The strike of the machinists of
Paterson, which has been on for four
and half months, has been ended
and the men have gone to work. They
have lost $50, 900 in wages while out.
To this must be added $40, 900 con-
tributied by the Union to help the
men. The employers have lost $15, 900,
which would have been their profits
had there been no strike. In future
the men have agreed to settle their
grievances by arbitration. -Hacken-
