the treasures of subsidized railroads !?
Are the people too dense to learn, even
at the hands of such relertless teacher
as experience?
1t seems not; and now every indication
points to the consummatiCn of this pro-
posed outrageous donation of sS,25o.ooo
each year, for twenty years, in gratuities
to an organized band Of treasury raiders.
1t seems we have not had our fill to
safety of trusts, but must add this in
famous ship trust to the other devices of
public robbery.
1t may seem more than passing strange
that an intelligent people living nearly
one thousand miles from tide water, not
one-ifth part of whom ever saw a sea-
going vessel, should elect to congress a
man already pledged to lay this new
yoke OF taxation upon the necks of his
constituency, yet that is precisely what a
majority of the voters Of this congress
sional district did in lS9S.-Hutchinson

The Hanna Ship Subsidy.

There is steal about to be perpetrated
on the American people to which we de-
sire to call the attention of our readers.
1t IS the proposed ship subsidy, under
the terms of which SI67, 900 is to be
paid to marine merchantmen flying the
American flag.
The plotfor perpetrating this outrage is
well latd. The Republicans are in con-
troll of both branches of congress, the
presidency and the supreme court. The
common people are defenseless. The
house has organized with a speaker
pledged to the steal. Congressman Long
of this district, openly endorsed the
proposed outrage in his speeches last
fall, and he has beer placed on the ways
and means committee, the committee with
which the bill must originate.
Hanna is in the senate-Hanna with
his millions and his hungry NAV for
more. The bill once passed by congress
will have the ready assent of the presi-
dent, and if some justice-loving citizen
carries the matter of protest to the su-
preme court, its verdict is already made
It is proposed to take S167,ooo,ooo of
the tax-raised revenues ard give to the
ship owners, of whom Mark Hanna is
one. This gift of the peoples money is
to extend over a period of twenty years,
or SS,25o,ooo per annum. Even now.
with the burden of war taxes anti in
iquitous tariff schedules insufficient to
meet the expenditures, it is proposed to
squander $I61 100000 more.
For what? For a merchant marine
that promises nothing. For a marine
that will expend the subsidy of the gov
eminent, to drive transportation compe-
tition from the seas, Just as the sub
sidized railroads have driven it from the
land. The American people have learned
that when competition is slain avaricious
robbery and greedy rapine takes its
place.
Why the necessity for this spolation of
the people1 Ocean transportation is now
cheap enough. If not, then why do not
American merchantmen 60 into conpe-
tition with foreign carriers without the
incentive of SI67 900 OF subsidy
1t is not the ocean charges that hurt the
producer and exporter. 1t is the land
transportation that is consuming their sub.
stance-subsidized land transportation

1t has been long known that the ex-
press companies are making enormous
profits, so per cent to 100 per cent, each
year upon their investment, and that a
parcel post such as is maintained in most
other countries could be established and
operated with profit by the government
at rates much below those charged by
the express companies. In Great Brit
ain the postage on parcels is cents for
the first pound, and two cents for each ad-
ditional pound thus making an II-making
pound package, which is the limit, cost
only 26 cents. Because until recently
there has been no great moneyed inter-
ests that would profit by the reduction,
only the interests of the general public,
nothing has beendone by our corporation
owned congress, but now comes the great
department stores seeking fornew fields
and new business. They have driven
out their small competitors in the larger
cities and they now want the business Of
the merchants in the smaller towns
All they need to get large part of it is
cheaper transportation rates and imme-
diately congress is interested in estab-
fishing the parcel post to give them what
they want. We are receiving and are
expected to print literature paid for by
the express companies, urging that in
the interests of the country merchant
aud the dear people no reductions be
made. The department stores are also
active, urging that in the interests of the
dear people the parcel post be estab-
lished, and lower rates be given. This
matter will come before congress this
session. 1t is one that means much and
will bear careful study.

Congressman ShaekIefOrd BANDS Success
or on the Currency Bill.

This bill confers upon the national
banking trust the power to issue and
regulate the volume of currency. 1t can
make money plentiful in one part of the
country and scarce in another, as it may
choose. 1t can hurt the whole country.
1t can hurt one part of the country and
help another. The ratioual banking
trust under this law can issue currency
up TO the full amount of bonds it can
control, or it can decline to issue any at
all. Having issued money, it may call
in any or all of it, as may be best suit its
stock-jobbing purposes. By these pro-
cesses it can control prices and keep
markets continually fuctuating and dis
turbed. Some very good object lessons
as to how this may be done have been
given within the last few days. A week
ago there was a slump in the stock
market. A review Of it in a financial
paper contained the following:
Having accomplished the object de-
sired in bringing about general slump
in the stock market through the manipu-
lation of money and sterling exchange
rates, the Rockefellers, through the Ma
tional City bank, helped along an easier
tendency in today's call loans"
Here we have the Rockefellers, through
their bank, making money tight and
prices low on one day while they buy
what they want, and on the next day
through the same bank, they make mon
ey easy and prices high while they sell
what they bought so cheap the day be-
fore in panic Of thei- own making. A
week later another slump in prices oc-
CURED, and here is a statement Of it
contained in a paper which l hold:
"The Standard Oil crowd have done
what they wanted-they have forced the
Boston and Montana interests to sell out
their property to them by all but break
ing a big bank. When the Montana
people surrendered the Standard Oil
withdrew tie pressure and shipped S.
500, 900 from New York to Boston to help
the bank out. But in the meantime lot
of people were hurt in the smash"
What tremendous power to be in the
hands of a Rockefeller, and yet this is the
influence to which the Republican party
is giving the power to issue the peoples
money and regulate the volume Of il, to
expand or contract the currency, to raise
or lower prices at will and in its own in
terest instead OF the peoples.
am opposed to this bill because it
will make the national banking trust a
factor to be reckoned with in our politi-
cal contests. 1t will desire to guard the
special privileges granted and obtain
others from time to time, and will en-
deavor to see that friendly president
and congress is selected.

The postal money order business
brought profit of nearly $4,000 last
year to the government and yet the audi
tor of the department having this in
charge recommends that this DEPART
ment be abolished because banks and
express companies can do this work.
How generous this official would be with
Uncle Sans money. Give away not
only this amount made but by abolish
ing this department bring about in
creased charges for doing this business
fer that would be the immediate result.
Another instance of the influence of
private corporations over the recon-
mendationS of an official are those of the
postmaster general concerning the meth
cd of saving the $1,000, 600 deficit of the
department. He charges it entirely to
abuses and low rates in carrying second
class matter, when the facts are that the
railroads are paid more than twice the
deficit for carrying the mails in excess of
reasonable rate.

The Melton Mowbray Times, of Sept.
29th, publishes most interesting report
of successful municipal ownership in
England. The report referred to is that
of the Leicester corporation and its gas
supply and says; "The leicester cor
poration last week completed twenty
one years of ownership of the gas sup
ply of the town and during that time
the profits handed over for the benefit
of the municipality have reached S.
699, 100. This has been done after pay
ing all interest charges, replacing old
plant with the most modern, out of rev.
enue; while the price to the consumer
has been reduced from 70 cents to IS
cents per 1000 feet, and meter rents
have been abolished. The capital ex-
pended when the works were taken over
was I,ooo, 900, and further sum of L.
22S,255, was paid for good will, while at
the present moment the capital is ST.
3555o5. During the last half year the
profits were sIoo,oS5, and after paying
S25,6Io to the sinking fund, s76,475,
would be handed over in relief of the
rates. The corporation also controls the
electric lighting of the town and sum
of A57,655 has just been spent on a new
plant, and $500, 900 will be spent in ad-
dition i'll a few months, all being pro-
vided without the aid of a penny out of
rates. A proposal will be submitted at
the next meeting of the town council for
the establishment of municipal tele-
phone exchange.

The idea of public ownership is rapidly
gaining ground. Ten years ago PROPOSE
tons for city ownership Of a water and
light plant, such as carried last week in
this city, would have been defeated by
almost as large vote as they carried.
Wherever this has been tried it has prov
en- suck great success that it is forcing
its way. The extortions of the trusts
will force this question rapidly to the
front, as the only solution to the rapidly
growing evils. Within another ten years
street cars, railroads, coal mines and
many other industries will be public
owned and the idea will be still growing
as it is today.

The report recently came from New
England that the mill operators have
increased the wages of $1,000 mill hands
IS per cent. The report, published with
.glee, by the trust supporting organs,
fails to state the significant fact that in
1897, in McKinley's term, the wages of
these workers ly the same mill owners
were reduced from IS to 30 per cent.
Another very important fact the report
fails to mention is the increase in livirg
expenses and home necessities from 20
to more than hundred per cent. In
view of all the facts, has there been an
increase of wages? They are not as
high as in 1897 when the reductions were
made. Living expenses will average
forty per cent more than in 1897. To
balance accounts the mill workers ought
have their wages increased from five to
twenty per cent over the recent increase
to bring them up to where they were in
1897. They ought then in fairness be
increased from twenty to forty per cent
more to keep pace with the increased
living expenses forced upon the people
by the trusts. Anything less than that
will from logical basis fall short of an
actual increase in wages.-Emporia
Times.
These same trust supporting organs
also fail to note the fact that almost
everything Kansas farmers have to sell
is steadily declining in price. Living ex.
pense going up, the income of the com.
mon man going down. This is Repub.
| licanism.

WHAT IT COSTS TO RUN THE SENATE.
Queer Things Bought BY Senators at the
Public Expense.

From the New York Nail aud Express.
Washington.-It cost the country 81
81 OH, go to run the United States SEN
ate for the year ending last July. This
included, of course, the salaries Of SEN
ators, the salaries of the clerks, messen-
gers, private secretaries, capitol police on
the senate side, mileage and other ex-
penses, including the contingent fund.
Secretary Cox Of the senate has Just
made his annual report, showing how
this money was expended. Some inter-
esting items appear. Each senator is al
lowed a certain amount for stationery and
newspapers. If he desires he NAV draw
the allowance in cash. The secretarv's
report shows that there has been a great
falling off in reading among senators,
for large number preferred the cash.
Ex-senator Cannon of Utah, stands first
in this respect. He took SS4.25 in cash
for his allowance. Senator Hoar comes
next, having received SO. 32 in cash.
1t costs $4,000 to report the senate
proceedings and over 5000 went for the
plrcht' Of furniture, while 81 900 more
was paid to repair it, and over 81, 500 to
clean it. 1t cost 5000 to keep the SEN
ate horses and wagons, and $40, 3o7. go
newspapers and stationery. During the
year the vice presidents room was re-
fitted in the most handsome style, the
rug on the floor costing over $3.50 while
the hall clock cost 5000. The lace cur-
tains cost $500, and the antique desk
S325. The sofas and chairs cost $3.50.
The most expensive thing in the room,
however, is silver inkstand which cost
$1,000, and the desk pad on which it
stands cost 81. During the blizzard of
last February it cost SIS to clean the
snow off the senate roof and over $500
for carriages to senu the senators home
during the storm
Fuel cost SI4935.47, and ice averaged
about S225 per month. The senators
seemed very fond of lemons, for during
June SI76 was paid for thirty-two boxes
of this fruit. Another item of interest
is SI56.64 for 2,5Io pounds of sugar,
while II6 cases of lithia water cost s725. .2S.
1t is explained that during the hot SUM
mer months the senators drink lemonade
Instead of water The report contains
page after page of items for telegrams
sent by senators. The dispatches sent by
Senator Quay occupy nearly four pages,
and strange as it may seem, nearly all of
them went to Altoona, and were sent on
one day, March IS, 1899. The senators
seemed to be very fond of drugs, for
thousands of quinine pills were bought
at various times. Soda mint tablets,
bromo-seltzer, cough drops, one drachm
OF altar of roses and one quart of castor
oil are also noted. Formerly there was
a big item for snuff, and a snuff box was
kept in the senate for the use of the
older senators. This year snuff seems to
have been little used, for only one pur-
chase on this account appears. Gross
after gross of penknives'a and dozen after
dozen of scissors and scrapbooks were
purchased for the use of the senators.
