A Hundred Thousand for
Charleston Library
Munificent Gift From South
Carolina Jockey Club

Charleston, Feb 2 The South Car
oiina Jockey club has dissolved aud
turned over it's property. valued at
more than 100000, to the Charleston
Library in fee simple and perpetoity.
The race track, which bears the clubs
name. a valuable farm oear the clty
real estate. bonds aud stocks are
included 10 the assets of the club,
The splendid gift Of the Jockey club
comes to the Charleston Library as q
much needed endowment. The Libra
~ society has for many years past been
in sore need Of financial support and
has With difficulty been maintained by
subscriptions Of the members. Recent
efforts to rehabilitate the society have
met With success to the extent Of saw
ing it from collapse. but the iostitutio~
is barely supported and is unable to
make advancement. The generous
endowment of the Jockey club assures
a permanent and comfortable income,
which will put the library quite on its
feet and will doubtless start it on a
vide career.
The trustees of the library have not
vet taken formal action to accept the
gift. but meeting for the purpose will
be held in q few days, when suitable
acknowledgement will be made. The
president of the library and the trus
tees, however, express the highest
satisfaction at the gif, made the insti-
tuition.
No plans have been made for appli-
cation of the endowment to the
librsrq's needs. but much informal
discussion is beiog devoted to the mat.
ter. Probably comprehensive scheme
will be evolved to insure the most
complete benefit from the endowment.
Certainly substantial improvements io
the institution will be made

which Mr.. Lodge ought to inwardly di-
gest before asserting Aguinaldo was
never treated as an ally.
Then, fifth, read this carefully. 1t is
from General Anderson, at Cavite, to
Aguinaldo, under date of July 4, 1898:
1.-THE United States of America, whose
land forces nave the honor 10 command,
= being at war with Spain :
has entire sympathy and most friendly
sentiments for the native people of the
islands. For these reasons | desire to have
the most amicable understanding with you
and to have you and your people cooperate
with us in military operations against the
Spanish forces"
What is that short of a direct invi-
tation to Aguinaldo and his people to
act as allies? Two days later, July 6.
Anderson wrote to Aguinaldo: 1T must
be apparent to you that we do not in
tend to remain inactive, but to move
promptly against the common enemy"
And, sixth, consider the following
from Anderson to Aguinaldo, under
date of July IA, 1898: General: Wish
ing to get complete information of the
approaches to Manila in every direction,
| therefore have the honor to request
that you give my officers all possible
assistance in making reconnaissance to
the lines and approaches and that you
favor them with your advice"
Does even Mr.. Lodge believe that
General Anderson would address in
this style anyone whom he did not re-
gard as an ally, and a useful one?
Later in that month General Merritt
arrived and, carrying out other instruc-
lions from Washington, entered upon
the new policy of steadily ignoring
Aguinaldo just as far as was possible.
Then, and then only, did the treach-
cry develop, and it was treachery of
the basest kind. But it was not on the
part of our able and useful Filipino al
Lies. The treacherous suggestion, the
outcome of a new born imperial lust,
came from Washington after the Fill
pinos had so successfully Gagged the
Spaniards in Manila. From Merritt's
arrival with his fresh instructions dat
ed the treachery and this un-American
war to subjugate our former friends
and faithful and efficient allies, a war
which the Filipino leader did his best
to avert at the outset, which was be-
gun over a trivialty, but which the
American commander, evidently fol-
lowing the spirit of his instructions
said was too late to stop!

THE STEEL AND WIRE TRUST.

The letter of ex~-Congressman John
Dewitt Warner On the Steel and Wire
Trust on another page is perhaps the
strongest in the tariff-trust series.
The Window Glass Trust was shown
to have doubled prices and to
have fixed prices in the inter
ior higher than on the coast. 1t
also has alliances with the workers and
restricts production by working only
six months a year.
The Borax Trust sells borax at IL
cents here and 3a cents per pound in
Europe. The Tin Plate, International
Paper, Iron Ore, Steel Rail and other
trusts have been shown to be charging
exhorbitant prices and to be hiding be-
hind the tariff wall while SO doing.
The Steel and Wire Trust has not on
ly raised prices of wire and wire nails
more than 100 per cent. in n year but
it has raised them nearly 300 per cent.
within four years to home consumers
who pay for its ''protection"-while
it has continued to export immense
quantities and sell them at foreign
prices, which are now nearly 40 per
cent below home prices and which in
1896 were less than half of u home
prices. The trust compromises prices
in Canada and reduces prices there only
half as much as in Europe.
In fact, the trust sells for whatever
it can get in any and all markets OF
the world. Because of Jul tariff of
from 40 of a cent to n cent per
pound on wire and wire nails, which
shuts out competition, the trust can
and does charge more here than in any
other country. In Canada it can charge
more than in Europe because it is near
err the Canadian markets. But it Is sup
plying England with go per cent of her
wire and wire nail product, as the Iron
Age tells us.
But what is to be done to remedy
this state of affairs? It's president,
Mr.. Gates, says the trust needs not on
ly the e%xhorbitant tariff protection"
it now has, but should receive a sub
sidy from the government! Do the
farmers and carpenters of this country
agree that this is the remedy?
