THEY DO 1T DIFFERENTLY,

When we hold a worlds fair in this
country, as we do every once in a while,
we issue admission tickets at a fixed
price, and those who buy them pay that
price or remain outside the gates. The
price never varies or ~fuctuates.
Over in France they do differently.
tickets to the great Exposition were
printed to the number of sixty-f1ve mil
lions, and were attached in series of
twenty to three million and a quarter
of bonds. The price of a bond was
twenty francs, or about five dollars.
When you bought a bond you had
twenty admissions, and the bond gave
you a chance in a lottery, the prizes in
which ranged from one thousand francs
to one hundred thousand francs. Dur
ing October the lottery drawing will
take place, after which, the bonds will
be worthless, but the admission tickets
attached will be good until the EXPOSE
ton closes.
AT the opening OF the Exposition
tickets sold for about twelve cents, and
two and sometimes three were required
for admission at particular times in
the Jay or evening. Later they fell as
low as five cents, and have commonly
sold at six cents. Upon this strange
and complicated basis about forty mil
lion tickets have been sold, and it is
thought the remainder of the sixty-ive
million will be disposed of.
The strange thing about it all, 10
Americans, is why the authorities did
not make the straight admission price
a franc, and let it go at that. 1t would
certainly have been the better plan.

put to ~eighty-hve million tons. The
securities representing this combina-
ton to control coal do not represent
any outlay OF capital, because the roads
and mines were in operation before the
syndicate was organized. The profit OF

The New York Herald of September %
mentions nine men who met at Pier
pont Morgan's office TO settle the pres
ent anthracite coal strike, and states
that they control two and one-half bill

mated that the dangerously rich class
hold five billions of the honest ana
seven billions of the dishonest: the

THE AMERICAN FLINTS.
President Kunxier Before the In
dustriaI Commission

WASHINGTON, October 5.-John y.
kunzler, president of the American
Flint Glassworkers Union, was before
the Industrial Commission to-day, rep
resenting the workmen in the general
investigation into labor arbitration.
MIR. Kunzler said he represented be-
tween 5000 and 10000 workers In the
various branches OF the flint glass trade
being amalgamated into me union. He
described the annual settlement of the
wage scale by the committee OF the
workers and the manufacturers. He
said that 1t did not obviate strikes en-
tIrely, as there were at present some
small strikes In progress over local
questions; but the arrangement on the
whole was satisfactory. He said he
had not made a special study OF COM
pulsory arbitration, but thought It was
a good, thing and would be glad TO see a
national law of that sort in operation.
He said the trade did not average
quite ten months work a year and the
average wages OF the workmen amount
ed &c about $3.50 a week.

This compilation being on somewhat
new lines, explanation is offered as to
how the figures were obtained.
The amount of property now on the
tax books Is based on the ratio of in
crease between 1880 and 1890. Property
being listed at about two-thirds OF its
market value, the amount is really fifty
four billions, but as one-third Is own
ed by women and children, the fifteen
million voters have thirty-six billions.
Apportionnent Classes.
Statistics prove that half of what is
on the tax books is owned by men as
sessed with less than SIS, 900 but with
more than 81, 500. The inventories OF
the estates of men of enormous wealth,
who have diedS within the past three
years, show that less than one-tenth
Of their wealth consisted of such prop
erty as generally appears on the tax
books. Many men with very large in
comes have very little property listed
for taxation. In compiling these sta
tistics ample allowance was made for
the few men Of large means whose in
vestments are confined TO real estate
The first class are men assessed with
more than $3.50, 900. 1t requires a range
between SIS, 900 and s750,000 to hnd
5000 men who will average 800, 900
on the tax books. and a range between
1885, 900 and SIS. 900 TO find 800, 900 men
who will average $40, 700 on the tax
books. The well TO do class. are
those who own. or are able to a
home suitable to their station in life,
and are assessed between $500 and
81 1900. The poor" are those between
s25 and $500. The very poor" are
those assessed with less than SIS.
Many are not assessed except with head
tax.
rhe Mortgage for "a Billions.
Public securities, viz, National. State,
county, etc, bonds. and bank stock
mou to 81, 500. 900. These are called
honest securities. The word homes
distinguishes them from seeuri. ed
which don't represent any oa'iay Of
capital. Deducting subscriptions. paid
in public bonds, the railroads did not
cost FIVE billions. but are capitalized
for eleven billions. Here Is six billions
which does not represent any outlay
of capital. Again, some Wall stree.
bankers syndicafed the roads penetrat-
ing the anthracite coal region. Tne
price Of coal at the mouth OF the mine
in Pennsylvania Is $50, and thirty
cents would be excessive freight fnz

very much better 1t would have been
had Mr.. Dryden's ~undoubted condition
been recognized, and the duties of Off
Gals and examining officials carried
out. Now it is too late-but the les
son remains, to be profted by In the
future and to be remembered for al
time to come.
There are other cases besides that
of Mr.. Dryden which call for attention.
Persons not sound in their mentality
should not be allowed their freedom,
not only because of the jeopardy Of
fanny, relatives, friends and the gen.
eral public, but for their own individual
good. The law provides a remedy, and
the State proper institutions for the
care and treatment of this class of I'M
fortunates. 1t is far better that the
law should be enforced than to run
the always risk of violence, even unto
murder, and the constant trouble and
publicity inevitable from the contrary
course. In the case under considera-
ton one life was lost. There might
easily have been two or three or more,
for Mrs. Dryden might have succumbed
to her husbands attacks had her father
been but a little delayed, and the chill
dren were possibly also in jeopardy.
As for Mr.. Workman, who, after
long suffering, fired the fatal shot, to
ave the life of his daughter or at least
protect her from eminent peril, there
will be universal sympathy, and he Will
not stand in jeopardy because of his
act. A technical charge, perhaps, must
be made against him, but any result
ing trial will be p%rofunctory. That he
was justified in his act will be the uni
versal expression and belief; but Mr..
Dryden should have been placed under
restraint long ago, and it is m
body's fault that he was not.
Again we say, let the awful lesson of
yesterday morning be remembered.

LESSONS OF Yesterdays TRAG-
EDY

The unfortunate and deeply to be re-
GREETED tragedy of yesterday morning,
so fully and completely reported in the
Register, should carry with it a lesson
to officials and citizens alike, and one
which should o be forgotten.
NJ. f. Dryden is dead, shot by his
father-in-law, while in the act of vio-
lently assaulting his wife without a
cause, and Thomas Workman stands
at least technically charged with muir
der. The tragedy was an awful and a
deplorable one-and yet it might cas-
lily have been prevented, and untold an
guish, trouble and publicity been saved
to many people-family, relatives,
friends ard acquaintance, a the
most ordinary precautions been taken
and the proper officials discharged their
duties.
Those intimate with Mr.. Dryden for
ten years or more-his friends and ac-
quaintanees, who met him daily. asso-
ciated more or less with him, and knew
LIS habits and personality thoroughly
have long believed that he was suffer-
Ing from mental alteration. He was
hoods.v e%rratic, more than eccentric.
1t is probable that even before he left
the church for the practice of law he
was not the possessor of a well-bal-
anced mind, and as time passed his
mental malady became more apparent.
manifesting itself in a variety of ways
not necessary to be here enumerated.
His unfortunate personal habits of late
accentuated his condition, and at times
he was violent, unreasonable and al
most beyond any semblance of control
by either family, relatives or friends.
Upon one occasion he attempted to
Shoot his wife, upon another he was

those based on nothing except some
monopolist1c feature. NO one has at
tempted to approximate the amount OF
securities, now outstanding. which rep
resent fictitious capitalization, but il
Is known with certainty that largely
more than fifteen billions OK such So
curities have been issued within the
last few years. This paper Is based on
only the thirteen billions which are
best known and about which there is
no question.
The Classes.
The middle class Is composed of men
who are neither rich nor poor; they are
men clear of debt whose property is as
sessed for taxation at more than $1,000
and less than SIS, zoo. This class num-
beers 1890, 900, and w one-half the
property on the tax books which is as
sessed against the fifteen million voters.
| The amount of stocks and bonds ON the
tax books is too small TO consider.
The danger to the counGr.y is not
| that 5000 in one class own as much
property as loo, 900 in another class,
the danger lies IN the fact that this
very small class, by means of fictitious
capitalization. have acquired a mort
| gage on the other classes for ten bill
lions OF securities which do not repre-
sent any investment, but enable this
small class TO harvest the profits with
as much certainty as il they held the
technical title to the land. The
amount collected last year from the
| public was sufficient to pay only about
two per cent. on this mortgage, but,
unless the November election calls a
halt, the amount will be increased as
a government by injunction" becomes
established and as population and pro-
dCction increases.
Distribution of Income.
Much property is u~nproductive, and
it is assumed that the income is only
21a per cent. on the amount on the tax
books; this would be 5000, 900 900 for
the thirty-six billion dollars owned by
the fifteen million voters. The effect
OF these securities, which do not repre-
sent an outlay of capital, appears in
the distribution of this income. The
dangerously rich" class of only 5000
will have $40. 000. 900, and the middle
class of 1880, 900 which does not own
securities under present conditions.
will have only $40, 900 200. If these
securities, which do not represent any
outlay Of capital, cease to be a mort
gage on property and labor. then the
middle class would receive $3.50, 000, 900,
or half of the income, and the danger
ously rich would receive only s33, 000.-
900.
Distribution of Property.
Comparatively little personal prop
erty, except that owned by the farmers,
appear on the tax books. The middle
class own half OF the property that is
assessed. The following statement will
be understood by observing that the
dangerously rich" class numbers 5000.
The average assessment in this class
Is S3,33a333; the total for the class is
$1,000, 600, 900; except for fictitious cap
~italization, this class would receive
only $33, 900, 600 Ii of the income of
5000, 900, 900, whereas last year 1t re-
ceived $440. 600, 009.

The last censu gives Philadelphia

listed 337, 900, or Is, 400 too many. That
$4,000 about represents the fraudulent
Republican vote Of the city of Brother

OUR "RIGH1" IN THE PHILIPPINES.

OlH "nlIf1lD In II Hill
Whenever a Republican attempts to
defend the right" of the administra-
ton to wage war in the Philippines
against a people having an ambition
to be free, just confront him with
these words Of that old man eloquent
and Republican Senator, George f.
Hoar, of Massachusetts. They ought
to be pasted inside the hat of every
American citizen who reveres the
principles of the republic. Here are
Mr.. Hoar's utterances upon this mat
ter:
THE words justice, freedom, righteous
ness seemed to be disappearing from our
vocabulary. . . = When hostilities broke
out, February 5, 1899, we had no occupancy
of and no title of any kind to any portion
of the Philippine territory, except the tow
and bay of Manila. Everything else was
in the peaceful possession of the inhab-
itants. In such a condition of things, Mr..
President, International law speaks to US
with its awful mandate. 1t p~ronounces
your proposed action HEE
TON AND ROBBERY. You have no bet
ter title, according to the law of nations,
to reduce this people to subsection than
you have to ~subjugate Mexico, or Haiti,
or Belgium, or Switzerland. You have no
right, according to the law of nations, to
obtain by purchase or acquisition sover-
eighty over a people which is not actually
exercised by the country which undertakes
to convey it or yield it. ' What kind
of Americanism, what kind of patriotism,
what kind of owe Of liberty is it to say
that we are to turn our guns on that pa
triot people and wrest from them the free
dom that was almost within their grasp,
and hold these islands for our own pur-
poses, in subsection, and by right of con-
quest. because the American flag ought
not to be hauled down where 1t has once
fioated, or for the baser and viler motive
that we can make a few dollars a year out
of their trade? Mr.. President, THAT is
THE DOCTRINE OF H PUREST
RUFFIANISM AND TYRANNY"
This is the indictment of the present
administration by a Republican Sena-
tor of the United States. The Republl-
can answer, in the words OF the Baltl-
more Sun, is "a sickly sneer."
