POINTS AND OPINIONS.

Hereafter Mr.. Mckinley will do
we'll to consult with Hanna and the
sugar trust before, rather than after,
forming an opinion as TO "our plain
duty."-Albany Argus.
The cost of government, which
was five dollars for every man, wom-
an and child in the country in 1897,
has now reached eight dollars. This
way of putting it brings the cost of
home to the average tax
payer more closely than rows of big
gures.-Portland Argus.
If the farmers of the country
once take up the cry of protection
from cheap foreign labor, the "protec-
ton" principle on which we have been
fed will plague us nightly. The agri-
culturists certainly have the same
right to protection" that manufac-
turers have.-Indianapolis News.
The American people may pos
sibly be mistaken in their ideas of
justice to Porto Rico, but they can
never be convinced Of their mistake
by the methods of Senator Hanna.
Voters whose consciences have been
aroused are not to be converted by
the Hanna style of bargain.-Chicago

EVADE NO ISSUES.
Time for the Democrats to Unite and
Stand Together with the
People.

1t is not the time now to fritter
away the opportunities for throwing
off the yoke pressing upon the necks
of the people by the republican party
with Mr.. Mckinley, the trusts and the
banking syndicates upholding them.
There never was a time in the po-
litical history of the United States
when all of the issues vital to the peo-
pie should be more rigidly adhered to
than now. There is not a single one
which may be abandoned with safety,
for all of them are national, none of
them local.
There are many right-minded peo-
pie, men who stand upon Justice and
right, who have disinherited them
selves from the republican party; re-
pudiated the loaves and fishes which
lead to mental degradation, the re-
pudiation of American manhood, and
the denial of the principles which
have made the nation great. We be-
lieve that all these right-minded peo-
pie are, in truth and in fact, the real
republicans, and the party, at the
head of which sits Mckinley, are the
renegades. In that sense, the demo
cratic party is in thorough accord
with them, for the issues and prin-
ciples they advocate are the ever-liv-
ing principles upon which the demo
cratic party stands with more per-
sistence than ever before, because the
gravity of the situation is greater
than ever before.
There are, however, matters of de-
tail which impel some to stand aloof
from united resistance to the domi-
nation of the people by an arrogant
financial and imperialistic system.
One of these so-called details is the
silver issue. On that, they say: eve
cannot stand" Why not? Is it not
! the financial issue? Does it not lie at
the base of plutocracy, Imperialism,
trusts, the enslavement of free peo-
pie? Because the democratic party
deems it an-indeed, the essentials

PORTO RICO-I THOUGHT BELONGED TO UNCLE SAM

(and the Chicago Tribune looks at the
subject from the same point of view),
"can be best understood by making a
comparison of the sums actually ap-
propriated by Great Britain and those
proposed by the Hanna-Payne bill"
During the last year the British gov
ernment paid $230,000 subvention for
II vessels as reserve merchant cruis-
ers, and $500,0O0 for carrying the
mails from the United Kingdom to
New York, total outlay of $73O,000.
But, under the Payne Hanna subsidy
bill this International Navigation COM
pany (British) will get over $3,O00,O00.
Various foreign residents, doing
business in New York. adds the Post,
.''have filed notices within the pre-
scribed time which will enable them
to comply with the stipulations of the
bill in securing subsidy payments on
a still greater amount of tonnage now
in course of construction to be put
into the American trade later. Thus
the estimated $9,0OO,0CO for subsidy
appropriation is likely to be fully
used, the lions share going to the In
ternational Navigation company and
other owners of vessels which are for
eign built"
Well may the Chicago Tribune ask:
''Why is it essential that vessel own
ers should be given bounty of $9, ,O00,-
600 year to develop foreign trader"
To which may be added the query:
"How are the American shipping in
terests to be aided by giving foreign
vessel owners on foreign bottoms, $9,-
100000 of American money per an

IMMENSE TRUST PROFITS.
Annual Dividends of n MonOpOI,
That Exists in Defiance
of Law.

Imagine a combination of 20 com
panies, managed by little band of
trustees, having combined capital Of
$97, 900, increasing that capitaliza-
tion to $6O0,O00,0O0, and forcing the
people of the United States to pay a
high rate of interest on the ocean of
water represented by the latter fabri-
Gated valuation!
That is what former Attorney Gen
eral Monnett, of Ohio, in the Chicago
Tribune, says the Standard Oil COM
pany of Ohio is doing, in defiance of
the decree of the supreme court OF
that state.
The trust pretended to dissolve it's
combination, and though forbidden to
pay dividends to the trustees of the
trusts, it has paid since March, 1892,
when the decree of the supreme court
of Ohio was made, upwards of 80 quar-
terly dividends, the first 90 at three
per cent, and paid 45 per cent. in spe-
cials up to 1895-114 per cent. in a little
over three years, or $110, $685. 900 on the
capitalization.
The estimated annual dividends for
nine years past, including that of 1900
at $4,000, GOO, is $237,000,OGO, all ex-
acted of consumers at monopolistic
price ranging from 200 to 400 per cent.
more than the normal price would be
with open competition.
This is the trust which has forfeited
its charter in Ohio, but continues on in
defiance of law or judicial prohibition.
What will be the end?

SHIPPIITG SUBSIDY BILL.
Mammoth Fraud Planned by the Re-
publican Boss and His
Henchmen.

The most iniquitous and barefaced
raid upon the United States treasury
appears in the Hanna-Payne shipping
subsidy bill now being pressed for pas
sage in congress. The bill pretends to
be one Ito promote the commerce and
increase the foreign trade of the
United States" and provides for the
payment of compensation" for 20
years to vessel owners, whether of
American or foreign-built vessels. the
total annual compensation" not to
exceed $9,O0O,0OO.
There is a tremendous opposition
to this bill, which is declared to be in
defensible, an opposition, which, says
the Boston Herald, grows out of the
firm belief that, instead of proving of
assistancein the upbuilding of great
merchant marine for this country,
will be decided hindrance Already"
continues the Herald, ''the great ship
building concerns of the Atlantic sea-
board have arranged the preliminaries
for trust, into which their interests
are to be merged as soon as this sub
sidy bill becomes a law
The New York Evening Post adds
It's testimony to the mass of evidence
going to show the utter shamelessness
of the promoters of this scheme: "It
is an open secret at Washington that
a combination has been formed be-
tween the Hanna-Payne subsidy and
the Nicaragua canal. Senator Hanna
had agreed to await the report of the
isthmian commission, and the presi-
dent had accordingly recommended
delay on the canal bill for that pur-
pose, but there has been sudden
change in both quarters. Mr.. Hanna
has put his name to the report for
immediate action on the canal bill,
and he thinks that he has secured a
sufficient number of votes for the
shipping subsidy BILL

ernment interfered and lnterdlcted 1t.
The French were still so sensitive on
the subject of the Commune that the
authorities refused to allow the pro-
duction of play dealing with an incl
dent of that time. The managers OF the
theater were enraged, the artists IN de-
spair, and everyone was IN panic over
the affair except Coppee, who admitted
that he was thunderstruck, and that
the failure to have his play produced at
the Comedie Franca;se dashed one of
the ambitions of his life. He assumed
a disdainful air. however, was sarcastic

One eminent authority on cooking,
who has issued several books upon the
subject. calls for crusade against the
potato. 1t is. she holds, an overesti-
mated vegetable. Certainly there is
something odd in the place it has
taken in domestic economy. There are
other vegetables quite as cheap and
quite as palatable that might at least
occasionally be offered in its place.
But still the potato triumphs. 1t has
become a sort of superstition. low

Invariably found good results follow the
use of the water.
The reasons for the beneficial eff

The local action of pure water is
principally one of the osmotic extrac-
ton and swelling of the tissues. If lv-
ing organic elements or lower organ
isms are brought into pure distilled wa
ter free from salts, they quickly die,
because salts and other soluble sub
stances are removed in such enormous
quantities that a continuance of life is
endangered or arrested However, the
presence of salts in water, as in a
spring, entirely removes this danger.
The ingestion of large quantities of
water for long time has been recog-
niZed for years as excellent treatment
