Addresses Audiences at Fort Scott
and ArmOurdale.
W. ]. Bryan addressed a large audience
at Fort Scott, Kan, yesterday afternoon.
Owing to the dense crowd Mr.. Bryan found
1t impossible to mount the speakers stand.
He therefore had his carriage stopped in the
midst Of the crowd, and spoke from the car
riage box.
The full dinner pail'' argument of the re-
publicans received his first attention, and
he contended as usual that the working
man is not well contented with well-sup-

which had arisen in the anthracite coal re-

Mr.. Bryan again referred to the income
tax question. saying:

BOLD ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY.

COIOred Man Drives Away With Load
of Produce.
One of the boldest robberies ever perpe-
trated in Washington in broad daylight is
alleged to have taken place this morning
about 8 o'clock, on street between 7th
and 9th streets northwest. The perpetra-
tor of the theft was arrested in less than
five minutes after the commission of the
crime.
While the wagon of Mr.. George E. Bo-
hannon of No. 535 4th street southeast was
left unattended at the Center Market for a
moment or two Lester, alias John, Smith,
a colored man living on L street north
west between 1st and North Capitol Streets
jumped on the seat of the vehicle and
seiZing the reins, whipped up the horse and
drove east on 3 street at rapid rate. Mr.
Bohannon followed, and at the corner Of
9th street notified Officer Walsh of what
had occurred. The policeman quickly over
hauled Smith and recovered the property
The prisoner was at once taken to the
Police Court and charged before Judge
Kimbal with the larceny of horse valued
at 500, a wagon worth $50 and $50 worth
of produce belonging to Mr. Bohannon.
Smith claimed that man whom he did
not know gave him ten cents to take the
horse. to water. and that he was doing
this when he was arrested.
Special Officer Nick Miles, who was in
court identified the defendant as one of
gang which has been suspected of having
guilty knowledge of the disappearance of
several horses at the market, and Judge
Kimball decided to hold Smith in $500
bonds for the action Of the grand jury.

land the Chicago Tribune looks at the
subject from the same point of view,
lean 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
eminent paid $230,0OO subvention for
II vessels as reserve merchant cruis-
ers. and 100000 for carrying the
mails from the United Kingdom to
New York, total outlay of $73O,O00.
But, under the Payne-Hanna subsidy
bill this international Navigation COM
pany (British) will get over $3,000,000.
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 100000 for subsidy
appropriation is likely to be fully
used, the lions share going to the In
ternationa1 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 So, 000,-
600 a 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. So
100000 of American money per an
uum?'

SHIPPING 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 1000. 900.
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 a great
merchant marine for this country
viii be decided hindrance. Already"
continues the Herald, 1.-The great ship
building concerns OF the Atlantic sea-
board have arranged the preliminaries
for q trust into which their interests
are to be merged as soon as this sub
sidy bill becomes u law
~
its testimony to the mass of evidence
going to show the utter shamelessness
OF the promoters of this scheme: 1T
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 a 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"

to be perpetrated upon the taxpayers

ADOLPH PATTERSON.
The PAYER SHOULD OWN.
An Amazing Instance OF Republican
SUbservience to British
interests.

Even the Davis amendment to the
HayPauncefote treaty does not fully
protect the interests of the United
we are to build at our own expense,
and it is a significant fact that so small
a concession made to the American
sentiment which believes that the canal
we build we should protect is antag-
onized by all the administration forces.
Senator Davis amendment simply
provides that in time of war the
United States may land troops, throw
up earthworks and other temporary
use it as a means of national defense.
But when war is begun it is too late to
do these things. and the treaty, even
as amended by Senator Davis, still de-
MES to the United States the right
to erect permanent Notifications at
either end OF the canal which we are
to dig at an expense which will prob
ably not fall short of 5000, 100000. 1t
is complete surrender to Great Brit
ain. 1t is virtual admission that eX-
cept by conceding to the British d
voice in the matter we cannot do as we
choose on our own continent, even
with the complete consent of a nation
in whose territory we propose to OPP
crate. There is only one more incident
in the long record of republican sub
servience to British interests, but per-
haps it is the most amazing, the most
incomprehensible, the most eXecrable
of all

POINTS AND OPINIONS.

Hereafter Mr.. Mckinley will do
well 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
imperialism home to the average tax
payer more closely than rows of big
figures.-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-
cu1turists 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 consriences have been
aroused are not to be converted by

sition to pass government bill with
tariff amendment instead of the tariff
measure passed by the house. The SEN
ate free trade insurgents" even init
mate that they will now vote for the
Foraker bill and give their colleagues
in the house a chance to send back
free trade measure if they choose. The
whole fight discrepancies the republican
forces more and more each day. The
one thing thai the republicans cling to
with great pertinacity is that they will
not concede that Porto Rico is part
of the United States and entitled to the
protection of the constitution. In the
words of Senator Foraker, the unfor-
tunate people of that island are ''citi-
zens of Porto Rico" and entitled to the
protection of the United States.
That means whatever measure of pro-
lection a trust-controlled republican
congress chooses to give.
The Occur D'AIene Troubles.
The investigation of the Coeul
d'Alene mining troubles is becoming a
matter of national interest. Represent
ative Dick, with the republican major
ity of the military affairs committee, is
conducting the investigation in most
partisan and unfair manner. But he
cannot conceal the fact that the mill
tary and the administration are re-
sponsible for the permit system,
which is in violation of all rights of
citizenship.

EvADE no ISSUES.
Time for the Democrats to Unite ana
Stand Together with the
PeonIe.

It 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 POI
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 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 tho
gravity of the situation is greater
than ever before.
There are, however, matters of de-
tail which impel some to stand aloot
from a 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: "We
cannot stand" Why not? Is it not
the financial issue? Does it not lie at
the base of plutocracy, imperialism,
trusts, the enslavement of a free peo-
Pile? Because the democratic party
deems it an-indeed, the essentials
sue, inasmuch as it is the foundation

of all the others, must the other vital
issues be allowed to fall through
abandonment or by failure to defeat
William Mckinley, the apostate re-
publican complained of? That would
be mere lip service in good cause,
and an intent to assert pernicious
principles denounced for their danger
to the people and the welfare of the
nation.
The people cannot, must not evade
one single issue, and no leaders have
the power to evade any of them, be-
cause they are all issues pertinent to
the welfare of the people, and are is
sues which the people have most at
heart. To repudiate any of the issues
before the democratic party would be
to betray the people themselves, for
party leaders have no existence except
through the people.

Mckinley PIutOcrats.

Behind Mr.. Mckinley is u combina-
ton of men who are the products and
defenders of the republican socialism,
not one of whom is in politics to be
president. but all of whom want to be
next to the president, and feel that
they must win. They believe in money,
for gaining business or social or po-
Htical ends. They are the ''plutocrats,
the money power" who had nearly
100000 of enemies in 1896, and who
would have had more if the nature
of the issue of that year had not united
all property interests, those who be-
lieve in government for private gain
and those who hold that government
should consider merely the public well
fare.-Henry Loomis Nelson, in Allan

IMMENSE TRUST PROFITS.
Annual Dividends of u Monopoly
That Exists i'm Defiance
of Law.

Imagine a combination of 20 COM
panies, managed by a little band of
trustees, having a combined capital of
$97, $50 900, increasing that capitaliza-
ton to 5000, 900, 900, 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 % at three
per cent, and paid As per cent. in spe-
Gals up to 1S95-114 per cent. in little
over three years, or Sic, 1865, 900 on the
capitalization.
The estimated annual dividends for
nine years past, including that of 1900
at S50,o00, 900, is $237 900, 900, all ex-
acted of consumers at a 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?

An exchange says "if Mr.. Nc
Kinley has the courage of his convic-
tions he will either veto or refuse to
sign the Porto Rican tariff bill" There
comes the old question: What are Mr..
McKinley's convictions? The president
in his annua, message advised free
trade with Porto Rico. He emphasized
this as plain duty. Then came the
bill to impose 25 per cent. of the Ding
ley duties. afterward amended so as to
make it Is per cent. for two years. 1t
was assumed that the leaders in the
house and the president were at cross
purposes; but 10. the leaders were sent
for and left the white house with the
word that the bill must pass. The pres
ident whipped the recalcitrants into
opposition to his own message. What
can the senate do for such a man?-Cin-
cinnati Enquirer.
AS an administrator in war
and in peace President Mchinley has
not shown himself u strong man be-
fore the American people. Moreover,
by his attitude regarding Porto Rico
he has brought about a breach in his
party which can hardly be healed be-
fore the meeting of the convention.
If his managers succeed in placating
the disgruntIed elements of the re-
publican party in advance of the con-
vention there remains the great mass
of the American people outside those
party lines to be accounted for, and
to these Mr.. Mckinley stands in the
light of a wavering. vacillating exc
cutive who does not know his own
mind or who is willing to surrender
his honest opinions at the demands of
a faction.-BOston Post.
