When we begin TO erect tariffs against ter

NAV as we'll prepare to pull down the tiag-ior
we cannot square the condition with American

man who believes that the capitalists comkned
fer the purpose of cheapening the price is toe
green to be abroad where cattle Craze. Any
man who believes that few men have mora!
right to control the price of any product in gen.
eral use is too light in the upper story tor any
place but homes for the weakminded. The
whole truth, in NUTSHELL and nothing but the
truth, is that every trust in this land of the
millionaire was organized. for the purpose OF
controlling the price and output of every last
cents worth of the product manufactured. 1t
is devils lie that any trust has aimed at cheap
ening the price to the consumer, advancing
wages of the employe, or Of, in any way,
rendering the public substantial service. The
trusts have aimed to create mllionaires, and they
are being created at rate that ought to alarm

1t is reported in the Chicago Record that the
"rebes' in the island of Luzon are more active
now than at any time since the Americans oc-
cupied the island, and that American losses are
greater for the first two weeks of March than
any fortnight since the beginning of the war.
The renewed activity of the "rebels" is due to
the speech of the silver-tongued senator from
Indiana. Why don't the Republican papers
abuse Beveridge for plolonging the war and
causing the death of so many brave American
soldiers? If Hanna would now make speech,
and tell the truth, like Beveridge, the island Of.
Luzon would blaze with hostility to Ameticex
rule.

big profit. Forty million dollars profit for 1899
is now assured.

In the end, the Porto Ricans will be some

Anybody who says that this is not grea!
statemenshipi is no friend OF benevolent assmil-
alton.
The Republican party is in peck of trouble.
The Republican stomach don't seem to be quite
easy as to digestion of the new foreign diet
There will be some vomiting, and possibly
few doses of caomel will have to be admins
tered. Blood letting will be confined to the
Philippines and hynotsm will be freely prac-
ticed. Most Republican statesmen are great on

there is the labor vote to be reckoned with.
Here, hynotsm is the successful line of treat
ment No competition with pauper labor. 1t
would be funny if there was not so much tragedy.
America is down to pauper labor, but don't
know it. Hypnotisin will hold the patient IN
that fine o!dworld stupor that leaves so many
men and women in that condition that they
may as we'll nave been born beasts Of burden.
A Wall Street fnancier says that the new
Republican go1d-standard currency bill will i'll
crease the volume of the circulating medium.
That depends There is no compulsion. The
national bankers need not issue dollar they
are entitled to issue under the new law. Nation
al bankers are after profit. They have never
posed as divine agencies, or institutions of char
itv. Their benevolent assimilation has been
without parade or glorifcation. The banker
wants safe loans, at good rate of interest. Too
much money lowers the interest rate. The
bankers aim at oanng all the money called for,
but, at the same time, they have keen eye on
the price paid for the use of the money. To
the banker, it i; better to have a thousand out
at s per cent. than two thousand at 4 per cent.
The smaller the volume, the easier 1t is control
led, and therefore, the easier to command hire.
If any man supposes that the new notes author
lied will be put i'll circulation at such rates as
will make loaning money Improbable, that man
will surely be disappointed. The bankers are
after more millions, and that is all there is to it,
except that tn. Republicans are helping, all
tney can.
We have been told, times without number
that the large combinations OF capital were il
