LIFE IN MANILA NOT ALL GAIElH.
Some OF the EXaNperatlng Draw baeltE
TO Lifo In the LuzOn Capital.

Life in Manila is not a joyous round.
A correspondent of the New York Sun
sNys the town is uncomfortable and
hot but living 10 mighty expensive.
With all the lack OF comforts and con-
yeniences OF metropolitan existence
In the states, Manila takes more dol
lars a month for Gts inhabitants thnn

Manila ls rubbed with Do every day.

Ing the eastern business interests into
the belief that II Bryan Is elected the
hnancla, policy OF The country will be
reversed,
BryNn's aatfooted declaration that
Imperialism and not the financial ques-
ton is the chief issue rather upsets
these calculations After Bryan's
speech Hanna changed his tune aud
declared that the republicans were not
going TO have any wakover and that
it would take plenty Of money to de-
feat Bryan,
This administration has been kind
guardian TO all sorts Of special inter-
ests. There have been no restraining
laws to hamper trusts and even the re-
sources of the treasury have been at
their disposal. On one plea and an
ether Hanna Is rolling up fine cam
palgn fund,
1t worries the republicans though
that there is so much apathy In their
own ranks Their people don't seem
to take any interest in the Philadelphia
platform. In fact one never hears Of
1t at ALL
The business interests Of the country
are beginning to realize that impe-
rIalism by unsetGlng the very founda-
tions Of government threatens all sta
bic business, They are beginning to
realize that imperialism must b. de-
feated and that no other issue matters
much until that Is settled,
The Official record Of strikes and
shutting down Of factories reported at
the Federation headquarters in Wash
ington shows that the alleged mid
summer stagnatlon is really a reaction
from the republican prosperity which
has been so widely heralded,

The rise in the prices Of trust

to the rise in the prices Of the farmers

Attorney General Monnett, of

this condition is brought about by

reason to prove that prosperity, They
say that the balance OF trade Is on the
right slde--that exports exceed im-

lions more than she gets bHcS. That
is prosperity according TO the repub-
lican idea. II japan keeps up this
pace her prosperity win soon equal

key. All the last named countries eX-
port more than they import and some
of them have been doing 40 for centu-

SPECIAL PRIVILEGE.
All Corporations Are Formed for tho Par
pose OF EnIoylng Privileges spe-
ClAlly BeHtowed,

No corporation was ever formed
that did not secure in It's charter of
organization some concession or spe-
cial privilege from the government or
municipality granting it, A corpora
tion would not be incorporated unless
the promoters expected to secure
some. special privilege not enjoyed by
thelprirate, citizen. 1--WE are therefore
opposed 20 gll private corporations,
We make no possible exceptions. The
moment a business becomes so COM
pllcated or so vast that n private cit
izen cannot manipulate il with his
own mind and his own means we favor
its ownership and operation by the
whole people in their organized capuc-
ity of city, county, state or nation.
The political party which controls n
city, county, state or nation and de-
clOres itself TO he in favor of "cQuul
rights to all and special privileges TO
none" and then grants n single arti-
Gle of incorporation TIA private cor
poration convicts itseli~Dy its own acts
of willful lying and deceit.
\ private corporation is chartered
. special privilege and is not consistent
with equal rights to all. We favor the
repeal of any laws now authorizing
the charterlng Of private corporations
or the granting Of any special privi-
lege by any municipality, county,
state or the nation,
What the individual can't do let the
people do for themselves in their or,
ganized capacity as society or govern
ment and cease the licensing Of pri-
yate corporations TO monopolize, rob

special privileges is the beginning OF
