The Most Disgrace
full Chapter Of
All Modern History.

AuA SHapLeT VI
All Modern History.
OF all modern history, the most
disgraceful chapter is that which the
American nation is now writing. At
the opening Of the last third of this
century we abolished slavery in
America, and at the end of this cen.
tury We are making war for the es.
tabiishment of system of slavery in
Asia. The crimes of England in the
Sepoy war, on the Upper Nile, in
South Africa; are trivial offenses
against justice and humanity when
compared with the crime of subjugst-
ing and enslaving 10000, 900 people.
1t was long step downward from
Lincoln's proclamation of January l,
1863, to McKinley's proclamation OF
December 81, 1893. Lincoln raised
1000, 900 slaves to full and free
American citizenship, and invited
them to prepare themselves for tile
work OF self-government Mckinley
announced to 100000 human be-
ings, who had already secured free
dom by their own efforts, his purpose
to subject them to his authority by
the armies of the United States, un-
less they would submit themselves 10
his will without resistance. "My
TERMS" said he, "sre, first, submis-
sion and vassalagc, and I will then
CONSIDER further as to your fortunes. :"
1t is the reproach Of the age and an
omen Of evil to America that there is
one citizen to approve Of this depart
ure from the true doctrines of the
Republic,
Senator Hoar, in his lofty, eloquent,
and unanswerable speech against
President McKinley's Philippine pol
icy, has made Aaron Burr appear as
the supporter of Mckinley, and upon
the ground that his buccaneering ex-
pedition to Mexico has been vindicat-
ed by McKinley's buecaneering expe-
dition in the Philippine Islands.
Burr's crime has been so minimized
by comparison that it may not receive
a place in history. But what Of the
country? Burr was pursued, ar
raigped, tried, driven from public
and ostracised by soci-
ETY.. He had been. Vice President OF
the United States and a formidable
aspirant to the Presidency against
Mr.. Jefferson. When his trial was
ended and the facts were known he
lad not a supporter, and his .aspira-
lions had come to an end. Such was
.he fate of Aaron Burr. Has the
country changed? There has been a
change, but the country has not
changed.
If, however, tue city of Washing
,on were the Government . of the
United States, az the city OF Rome
.uled the Roman Republic, and under
corresponding conditions, tho art of
printing unknown, the rapid commun-
cation Of thought not yet even imag-
ned as a possibility, and the Republic
rot welded into harmony, the words
# the historian De Vertot might soon
,e. applied 70 America: LUXURY
md the love, of riches came into
Rome with tho treasures of the con-
luered provinces, and poverty and
which had formed so
many great captains, fell into con-
;enpt. And what is most surprising
8 that it was not by degrees, but all
1t once, that this vast alteration
and the Romans ran head
ong into luxury and efeminacy." Is
his to be our fate2-Extract from

SUGAR REFINING DIVIDENDS.

The directors of the American Sugar Refining
Company have declared quarterly dividend OF
1s per cent on the common stock, the same rate
as that declared at the last dividend period. Al
though careful Wall Street observers had an
nounced that the chances Of increased divi-
dend we're small, the tip went forth TO buy the
stock for a per cent declaration, and, a con-
seouence there was a sharp break in sugar certih-
Gates when It became known that only IL. per cent
would be paid Dealings in the stock aggregated
l16OOO shares, with the heaviest selling TO- Bos-
ton account. Opening at 1914. the stock sold to
l35it and broke points TO l27A closing at l27ss.
The regular rate declared on the preferred
stock Contrary to all precedent, the directors
meeting held at the house OF H. o. Have

80 DAYs oPERATIoNs IN sToCks.

The stock market was dull and heavy In the
greater part OF the day. with several Important
,rice changes AZ the close. AS a rule however
6asl figures showed only small net losses rum
MONDAYS last quotations. There is good sized
resct,onist party on the Stock Exchange al
presept. and active efforts are making TO reduce
the level OF values well under prevailing prices
This is & legitimate programme Tor market
that IS enjoyed a marked expansion IN QuOIa-
lions but timid holders should bear in mlno that
conditions governing values have not changed
that there is a vast amount OF capital Waltlng 10
enter the market at lower prices, and that moth
ing save radical change in money, politics and
business can prevent higher prices before stock
ouotstions become the measure OF the intrinsic
worth Of securities. The market is tired al the
moment but interests with large financial back
ing are picking up securities. Saggng prices
generally crush bull sentiment among the en-
tbusiastic traders Of limited means, but sales
made on this account are taken by people who
are in the market for a long pull and big
profits. There is nothing in the situation that
warrants the sale Of stocks and bonds at loss,
and people who buy attractive securities on
margins at the current level should protect their
accounts and hold for better prices. The money
market is beginning to worry seme traders. al
though it presents no Indication of the kind Of
disturbance that indaces confident owners Of
stocks 20 sell.

OF professional operations, selling by weak COM

who always absorb stocks in dull and heavy
markets London again a seller in the local
market. but its Transactions were not important
factors in the course OF speculation. The market
looked tired throughout the day. Many houses
announced that they were ''on the fence" for
the present. and that maneuvring for lower
prices might be expected before bull activity
could be resumed. Mr. Keene is stin bullish in
his talk, but like many other operators, he may
be working for lower quotations in order 10 buy
stocks cheap TO hold for January rise. Stock
market spectators often talk one way and
trade another. In yesterdays market the creates
number OF speculators were certainly IN favor
OF lower prices. A sharp break in Sugar Rein
ing stock, due 70 the failure OF the directors tc
increase the dividend rate, was the only promi-
ment feature OF the days trading. The decline
IN this stock had little effect upon the general
market. In the bond department further in
Vestment buying was reported, while many rail.

right TO cut each others throats or
declare war on foreign nations as the
spirit might move, and to place over
this conglomcration of "independent"
firebrands in American protactorate
pledging the United States 10 do its
foreign fighting for it.
-Four years ago his paramount hob
by was that If the United States would
take II cents worth of silver and stamp
one dollar upon it the world at large
could be forced to accept that dollar
as equal to 100 cents worth of gold.
In other words he wanted to declare
an American protectorate over an in
dependent coinage scheme for making
one dollar out of less than half dol
lar, in the hallucination that the great
world of trade would meekly accept
the inequitable issue, pocket its losses
and say nothing, and he was SO deeply
imbued with the practicability of this
plan that he predicted every conceiv-
able species of disaster if the country
should reject it. Not one of these
predictions, by the way, has been full
filed.
If he should be in serious promi-
nence four years hence, which we
doubt, 1t is safe to guess that he will
then have ready for verbal paramount

sionary and impractical, for he is built

Brxan.s Constructive Treason.

Mr.. Joseph Culbertson Clayton con-
tributes to the New York Times very
strong indictment of the Democratic
candidate for president, closing with
these paragraphs:
"Those have the worst opinion of the
law who most dread it's halter. The
law obcying citizen is not much given
to hysterical cries about consent of
the governed Little is said about it
except by those who contemplate law
breaking or those who seek to capture
votes.
"The sole object and effect of such
harangues as the 5000 word speech of
Mr.. Bryan is to stir up the people to be-
lieve in the literal meaning of the
phrase about which his unparalleled
verbcsity circulates so that they may
vote for him. Ignoring the fact that
the only states which will give him
electoral votes have unconstitutionally
disfranchised 10,000,00O, he assails his
own national government which is sup
pressing an insurrection for the hypo-
critical reason that they are governed
against their consent. Ignoring the
fact that he aided the ratification of
the treaty with Spain, he and his sym
pathlzers are in practical effect the
chief aiders and abettors of the rebel
lion in the Philippines. Whether he re-
sists the United States government as
n soldier under Aguinaldo in Luzon or
as cyclonic stump speaker against
the executive the principle is the same.
In either event aid and comfort are
given to public enemy.
"If this be not constructive treason,
it is so near to it that it should inspire
with deep disgust every citizen who
loves the honor and glory of our army
and navy and who would hide his head
in shame if insurrection should tri-
umph through the help of candidate
for the presidency"
