Thousand Dollars for n Crystal His
Royal Highness Wished.
New York, May 4-The mode in London
at the moment is to own crystal ball,
at the least every one must be able to
talk inteligently on the subject. Probably
the present passion of the Prince of Wales
for collecting historic and fine specimens
of crystals has had much to do with this
state of things; and has also kindIed the
dealers and importers of them to un-
earth a number of formerly obscure
treasures. The craze is spreading rapidly.

dent of crystals and owns a very beau

which is lit from the top and where IL can
be freed from the reflection of other
things. Its own representations can then
be sought for within its depths.
AS it is well known, these balls have
| for centuries enjoyed the reputation OF
| being prophetic and revealing to their
students secrets of the future. Among
the ancient Hebrews there were those who

of finding God The seeker after truth
| usually muttered over the globe a number
of prayers and then delivered ID over to a
youth or maiden, noted for purity of living
| and the power to devine Its revelations
Sometimes written characters were seen
which were afterward interpreted by the
| sages. Spirits also appeared to invoke the
| god. BY manv of the present day, who
have to do with !. Sc balls, 1t is said that
seeing things in them is through some as
trail and unexplained condition.
| Apart. however from any occult inter
est, there is an immense amount of beau
ty in the crystals themselves They are
more like rare gems than pieces of brio
a-brac, and soothingly cool and agreeable
to the touchs In fact, this is one means
of distinguishing them from glass The
glass becomes warm when exposed to
heat while the crystal always remains
cold.
The finest specimens of these balls are
said to be those that come from Japan,

Portland O%regonian, March, 1900:
Because the paper trust has put up
the price of printing paper to an uncon-
scionable figure, Representative DeVries
of California has introduced a bill to
repeal the duty on printing paper and
the material of which it is made. 1t is
very we'll but there are about 40 more
big trusts that have help through pro-
tective tariff, and should be dealt with
in the same way"
Senator Plumb, of Kansas, opposing
the Mckinley tariff, August 90, 1891
"There are dozens of lines of manu-
features covered by the terms of this
bill which are controlled by trusts. X
\ n I do not know of any better
way to start in at least to reduce the
exactions of trusts than to cut down the
shelter behind which trusts are created"
Philadelphia Ledger, February, 1899
"What is imperatively required is a
revision of the tariff such as will modify
the rates, or, better still, place upon the
free list all foreign goods, whether raw
material or finished product, that are
the subject of domestic monopoly"

OUR BIRTHRIGHT OF LIBERTY.

There is great danger of our crime
against the Filipinos being nationally
accepted as an unalterable fact. Despite
vigorous protests and outcries of horror
the var has been ruthlessly prosecuted.
A poor, unframed, half-equipped race,
struggling for freedom, has been crushed
by a rich, ~all-powerful, grasping repub.
lie. The victim, so far as concerns it's
battle for independence, is probably at
it's last gasp. We are a busy people.
Our tendency is to shrug the shoulder
and, in spirit, to say with Pope that
whatever is is right" We are think
ing about the Porto Rican mess and the
presidential campaign. Even Bishop
Potter, in whose patriotic insight so
many of us trusted, now says that Phil
ippine self-government is "only an
academic question" We have gone out
of our way to strangle the spirit of
liberty on an island thousands of miles
from u shores, and we are beginning
to be proud of the achievement.
The purpose of this letter is to bring a
reminder that not much over a century
ago we were, ourselves, battling for that
freedom which is our proudest boast
that at that time the general opinion as
to the character of our people was in
some respects far lower than we are now
forced to entertain concerning the
Filipinos that predictions as to the i'm.
possibility of successful American self
government were then pronounced by
men far ADLER than those who now deny
such possibility to the Philippine people 4;
and that the words uttered by the
patriots of that time on both sides of the
ocean cannot be re read, under the
present humiliating conditions, without

REPUBLICAN OPINIONS ON TARIFF
TRUSTS.
TRUSTS.

Governor Mount, of Indiana, Decem-
Der, 1899, speaking to the Indiana Hotel
Keepers:
II emphatically favor removing all
tariff protection from every industry
that belongs to a combination formed in
restraint of trade"
Chicago Times Herald, March, 1899:
"Most certainly it should be the duty
of congress-, in both branches of which
the republicans have a majority, to
abolish or suspend the protective duty
on the products of any industry which
has been organized into a trust and
which has arbitrarily raised the prices of
such products"
Hon. John Sherman, in United States
senate:
"Whenever this free competition is
evaded or avoided by combination of
individuals or corporations, the duty
should be reduced and foreign competi-
ton promptly invited"
st. Paul Pioneer-P Press, April, 1900:
1.-The whole list of protected monopo.
lies ought to be brought within the
purview Of a tariff reform which would
enable foreign competition to put a limit
on their ability to raise prices"
Ex-senator Washburn, of Minnesota,
said in an interview in the New York
Tribune of September II, 1899:
1.-The republican party, whether justly
the minds of the masses. AS a party
we have reached a crisis where we have
got to call a halt. The republican party
has got to disconnect itself from trusts.
1t has got to do something more than
adopt platform planks against trusts.
X X X 4
cit seems to me, after giving the mat
ter a great deal of thought, that the
republicans in congress will have to
examine the subject thoroughly, and
whenever they find a trust is depending
for it's exorbitant profits largely on pro-
tective duties it will be the duty of
republican congressman and senators to
remove the duties at once. We cannot
stop short of that. The duties must be
repealed when it is shown that the
trusts are benefiting by them. This
should be done with the duty on steel
rails and tin plate"
Minneapolis Journal, October 2, 1899:
"The senator is so eminently correct
in his position that tariff duties which
enable trusts or any other kind of
monopolies to raise prices above the
point at which they could otherwise be
maintained should be lowered in the
public interest, that we must range our
selves beside him OF that proposition"
New York Commercial Advertiser, in
the fall of 1899:

Burke's Speech.

time, how appropriate are the words of
Burke, written in 1777:
"There never was a period in which
the steadfastness of some men has been
put to so sore a trial. Liberty is in
danger of being made unpopular to
Englishmen (Americans). Contending
for an imaginary power we begin to
acquire the spirit of domination, and to
lose the relish of honest equality. The
principles of our forefathers become
suspected to us, because we see them
animating the present opposition of our
children (of the Filipinos). The faults
which grow out of the luxuriance of
freedom appear much more shocking to
us than the base vices which are gener-
ated from the rankness of servitude. It
is impossible that we should remain long
in a situation which breeds such notions
and dispositions without some great
alteration in the national character.
Those ingenious and feeling minds who
are so fortified against all other things,
and so unarmed to whatever approaches
in the shape of disgrace, finding these
principles, which they considered a sure
means of honor, to be grown into disre-
pute, will retire disheartened and dis.
gusted. Those of more robust make,
the bold, able, ambitious men, who pay
some of their court to power through
the people and substitute the voice of
transient opinion in the place of true
glory, will give into the general mode
and those superior understandings which
ought to correct vulgar prejudice will
confirm and aggravate it's errors. Many
things have been long operating toward
a gradual change in our principles but
this American (Philippine) war has done
more in a very few years than all. the
other causes could have effected in a
century.
A generally high opinion has been ex-
pressed as to the character and moral
qualities of the Filipinos. No one has
imputed to them dishonesty and cowar-
dice. In contrast, what, based OH a
close political relationship and frequent
personal intercourse, wa English opin-
ion concerning Americans during the
revolutionary time? Franklin writes as
follows:
ga little before I left London in 1775,
being at the House of Lords, when a
debate in which Lord Camden was to
speak, and who indeed spoke admirably
on American affairs, I was much dis.
gusted from the ministerial side, by
many base reflections on American
courage, religion, understanding, etc.,
in which we were treated with the
utmost contempt, as the lowest of man
kind, and almost of a different species
from the English of Britain; but, par
ticularly the American honesty was
abused by some of the lords, who as
serted that we were all knaves and
wanted only by this dispute to avoid
paying our debts.
