The Baldwin locomotive concern,
which is one of the largest and most
important manufacturing institu tions
in the world, has resisted the craze for
trusts, stock corporations, bonded
mortgages and other modern forms Of
industrial organization, and still re-
mains what it was when it was first
started-an Old-fashioned firm of four
partners. They have never been tempt
ed to water stock and it has never been
necessary for them to issue bonds,
although they employ 1880 men in the
very heart of Philadelphia, not more
than i've minutes walk from the city
hall, and are turning out an average Of
ten locomotives a day. During the last
year their locomotives vent to II diff
erent foreign countries and were sold
to y different national governments
in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australasia
and IN North and South America and
the West India islands.
TIE Baldwins have q peculiar way Of
managing their great factory and sell
ing their products. Every one Of the
1000 mechanics and machinists in their
employ is engaged in piece work and is
paid for what he produces. Only their
bOOkkeepers, clerks, foremen and other
employees Of that class receive monthly
wages. Nor viii the company bid for
contracts. They sell their locomotives
for what they actually cost plus a fixed
percentage to cover interest on the in
vestment, insurance and other expenses
that cannot be ftemized, together with
? reasonable profit. Two engines made
exactly alike, By the same men, and Of

RESULT OF TERRITORIAL AGGRAN-
DTZENENT

DLL EMENL.
That a myraid Of Cinnamon should
be melted to wage an internecine war
On all foreigners because Of their hate
Of a very few thousand missionaries,
has appealed to people generally as an
inexplicable and awful problem. But
as the real cause, which is responsible
for this wholesale rebellion comes to
maturity, the good people Of this coun-
try, who have become discouraged in
their effort to spread the gospel Of
Christ to the heather, viii find that
the missionaries viii be excuIpated Of
the charge.
When laid bare Of all assembling, the
world shall see as with an eye, that the
tremendous Outburst Of Chinese wrath
is but the rotten ebuIlitiOn resultant
upon Imperialism; and to attempt to
have these massacres accounted for
upon the ground Of religious fanati-
eism IS an evasion and artificial ex-
cuse. Tt Is the direct result Of the an
nOUncement made by this government
through its different Spokesman, that
the United States intended to enter
into the division Of China, participat-
ing in its distribution, and maintain
ing spheres Of influence.
This country is but one Of the fac
tors in precipitating hostiIities with
China The aggressions made by the
European powers amount to little less
than piracy. Russia as all know. has
taken Port Arthur, the greatest navy
yard that the Chinese possess. Eng
land has seized the land opposite.
France has appropriated Yum Nan and
Germany has gObbled up Kiao Chou.
What people who love home and ma
tive land would not resent an ingress
Of like nature to the bitter end. The
same patriotic fire displayed by the
Greeks at Marathon, by the Britons at
the nvasions Of Caesar, is burning in
the hearts of the Chinese. They have
become frantic, and in their frenzy
have butehered foreigners indiscrimi-
nately- This IS unworthy Of them, but
alas, it has come.
The lOng-headedness of George
washington comes to Us with remark
able force when he said that this coun-
try should beware Of entangIing ALI
ances with Europe. The. administra-
ton Of William Mckinley Is a repudi-
alton OF such statesmen, yea, prophets,
as Washington and Lincoln. We have
had safe teachers but we have disre-
garded their precepts, and are wOr-
Shipping at the affairs Of false gods.
To undo the wrong that is born Of
imperialism alone in China may be a |
very difficult and costly course. A |
wrong can never be made a right nor
criminal aggression an object Of /
justice.

WHAT DOES CHINA EIEAEq

The action Of China toward the
allied powers In their effort to save
the lives and property Of their citi-

thrown down the gauntlet at the feet

province Of prediction.

RECIPROCITY FOR THE RICH.

The president has established a
reciprocity agreement with Germany
whereby that country secures a reduc-
ton In tariff on the following articles:
Upon argols, or crude tarter, or wine lees,
crude, i've per centum ad valOTum.
Upon brandies, OF other spirits manufactured
OF distilled from grain OF other materials, s.. %
per proof gallon
Upon still wines and vermuth, in casks, g
cents Per gallon; In bottles or jugs, per case Of
one dozen bottles or jugs containing each not
more than one quart and not less than one pint
OF p bottles or jugs containing each not more
than one pint, s1-25 per case, and any excess
beyond these quantities found IN such bottles
OF jugs shall be subject to a duty Of four cents
per pint or fractional part thereof, but no sep
arats or additional duty shall be assessed upon
the bottles OF jugs.
Upon paintings IN oil or water sOlors, pasteIs,
pen and ink drawings, and statuary, Is per
centum ad valorem.
The millions Of people in this cOun-
try who have to earn their bread by
the sweat Of their brow viii certainly
not look upon this as in any wise a
boon to them. They cannot afford oil
paintings, statuary or wine.
Mckinley is already bidding for
votes. He thinks reciprocity with
Germany viii sound big in the ears of
the German population Of this country,
and by this cunning stroke hopes to
make the administration vaciIlating
attitude toward their TeUtOnic broth
ers in South Africa acceptable to them.
This is cheap politics and cOntradicts
the oft repeated statement Of his ad-
mires that the president is a great
statesman. The kings fools are suffer
ing from haIlucinatiOn.

upon the laW-abiding citizens Of other
nations.
Though the Chinese are called hea-
thens, they are by no means conscien-
tious barbarians who Kill and cripple
their fellow beings with little com
junction Because the Greeks were
won't to call all who could not speak
their language barbarians, that did not
imply that there was no moral law
written OF unwritten which barbarOus
peoples were forced to respect; and if
the Chinese as a people have not en-
braced Christianity that is no sign
that cruelty should dominate In their
hostility TO foreign persons They
know better than cruelty. The moral
teaching Of COnfucius, Of Mencius, Of
LaOutse, and Of several OF their former
emperors, brand their recent murder
Gus attacks with responsibility and
guilt.
Since the government Of China has
not declared against the action Of her
people, the Dragon throne and all the
people which it represents have done
the most injudicious thing, and sooner
or later viii be brought into judgment.

-FILLING u. TOWNE's PLACE.
Next step VIII Be to summon National
PopuIist Commitfes-WfIl Result in
Divisions with Two Candidates

Secretary J. A. Edgerton, Of the pop
listnatiOnal committee, Of Denver, Col,
is out with an interview on the vice
presidential nominations. Mr.. Edger-
ton, like many other pOpulists, is dis
appointed that the democrats did not
.indorse the nomination of Towne for
the vice presidency, but he predicts
that the populists will place the name
Of Stevenson on their ticket.
''The more I think of it." said Mr..
Edgerton, athe nearer I come to being
.reconciIed to the nomination of the
Illinois man. The object of our party
is to pursue such action as will give
to Mr.. Bryan the greatest number of
votes. Without saying that Mr.. Stew
enson on the tickets can bring more
influence to the silver cause than Mr..
Towne in the same position, I may sug-
gest that it will only result in divisions
and the lessening of Mr.. Bryan's
strength if there is any attempt to run
an independent candidate as was done
in 1896. This is the view we must take
of the situation.
"The populist notification committee
has not yet heard from Mr. TOwne, but
it is safe to say he will decline to &C
cept. When be has done so, Chairman
Butler will probably call the national
committee together again and Mr..
Stevenson viii be chosen as the man.
The conference between Col Bryan,
Mr.. Stevenson and Mr.. Towne will
likely result in Mr.. TOwne's sending a
wisely written letter Of declination to
the committee, one that advises the
selection Of Mr.. Stevenson, for it is
known that the Minnesota man is in
favor OF one united ticket for the three
silver parties.
at is perhaps we'll for the pOpulists
to recall that Mr.. Stevenson was a
greenbacker and that he entered into
greenback caucuses with Gen. Weav-
er, who later became the populist can
didate for president. He has always
been a consistent silver man and his
private and public life are above re-
prOach. It was not that we loved him
less, but that We loved Towne more
that disappointment came to Us with
the nomination of the Illinois man.
There are good political reasons
why Mr.. Stevenson Will make a strong
vice presidential candidate. In the
first place he is acceptable to all demo-
Gratis. IN the second place he is as &C
ceptable to populists and silver re-
publicans as any democrat who could
have been named. He is strong in
such states as Illinois, Indiana and
Kentucky.
AFTER all, the matter Of the vice
presidency is Of secondary import
ance. We have Mr.. Bryan standing on
a splendid platform. This is no time
for factional divisions on minor points
We should close up the ranks and
push forward. If We do, we will be
victorious"

Last week a young man Of Thomas
county died from the ravages Of ty-
phOid fever. His parents believing in
spiritual healing, called no physicians
to administer the known antidOte Of
fever. The world is ever panied by the
caprice Of fools. Socrates, who lived
in the fifth century before Christ,
knew more about the nature Of God
than they who offered up their son
upon the cruel altar Of ignorance. He
pronounced those to be insane who had
recourse to Omens respecting matters
which the gods had granted to men to
discover by the exercise Of their facul-
ties The stupid and blinded faith Of
spiritual heaIers is no more sensible
than the man who, seeing his son on
the verge Of drowning, exclaimed from
the shore, "I'u thrash you if you
drown"

the expenses. An account is opened
on the books with every locomotive as
soon as it is begun, and the firm have a
record Of the cost Of each one Of the
thousands that hsYe left their shop.
Locomotives are staple goods, just as
much as sugar and sheetiDgs. Rail
ways must have them. They can use
their old ones just as men can wear
their old clothes and can economic in
the consumption Of sugar, but rolling
stock must be renewed sooner or later.
Locomotives are growing bigger and
heavier and simpler every year. None
but "jsy" railway company nowadays
orders 40 or 80 ton engines, such as
were in common use on the great trunk
lines u and 10 years ago. The standard
sizes now are 90, 100 and 40 tons, &C
cording as they are required for low or
high grades, light or heavy trains, slow
or fast running, but as a rule the mod
ern engines, with all their increased
weight and improvements, do not cost
much more than the Old-fashiORed light
ones, because the improved machinery
and methods have enabled the maehin-
lists to do more work and better work
in the same time. The introduction OF
electricity has reduced the cost Of
manufacture more than all the rest Of
the causes combined. The invention
Of electric lathes and other tools has
revolutionized some Of the departments
Of the shops, and two electric cranes in
the erecting shop at Baldwins' are now
doing the work that formerly required
800 men. Bat no one has been thrown
out Of employment. The pay roll grows
longer every year, and the men do bet
ter work and get bigger pay because Of
the new methods and machinery.
