'rou say, hold them as place Ter
Sur children to 60. Twenty people to
the square mile here, and sixty people
to the square mile in the Philippines
or that many when we commented
and then talk about securing an out
let for our surplus population. Our
people would not go there and live I'M
der the tropical sun for all the wealth
of the islands. Why? Because they
would rather live in Iowa or Nebras-
ka. II you think that they would, look
how it has been with other nations.
In Jamaica there are $4,000 whites to
900 natives. In Java there are 25,-
100000 natives to 10000 Europeans.
Look at England in her Indian posses
sions. From what you hear you
would think the English people had
been going over there in droves. I
am amazed to find that after fifty years
of English domination in India there
are only 100000 English born residents
there, and it takes an army of 10000
English and 100000 natives to protect
these 100000 English people. You
may think that the English are edu-
eating the natives. Less than 1 per
cent of the native women can read and
write and less than per cent of tho
total population can read and write

Tho Prosperity Racket.

We read great deal about few
corporations that have raised the
wages of their employees 10 per cent.
That is very well, only the men have
no voice in it and they could as easily
have been reduced as they have in
many instances. But when the work
ers go to the stores and spend their
wages and find prices have been raised
more than 10 per cent, has it not the
same effect as a reduction in wages?
The amount of gold, silver or paper
that one gets for wages is no indication
whether wages is higher or lower. The
foolish may be deceived by the bulk
of the money, but the intelligent per-
son will at once compare the purchas-
ing power of the stuff to see whether
he has been buncoed or not. A 10
per cent increase in pay and 20 per
cent increase in the price of products
mean a reduction of 10 per cent in
wages. That is just what the corpora
lions have been doing-reducing wages
in a way to make the workers think
they have been getting the benefit Of
an increase,

A WAY OF BUYING PROPERTY.

A professional robber and thief had
been at work from early in the even
ing till midnight trying to steal
farmers horse from out the owners
barn, but had not succeeded, owing to
such obstacles as fences, padlocks and
a bulldog. Naturally he began to feel
discouraged over the poor prospect OF
accomplishing his purpose, when I'M
expectedly another robber appeared
one who had as yet scarcely become
familiar with the profession, though
possessing a voracious appetite. The
two robbers had been enemies, and had
fought each other for some time, but
were just then on speaking terms. So
the following dialogue took place:
Robber No. 1: What will you give
me for my title to that horse?
No. 2: Oh, dunno. Whattel you
take?
No. 1: Well, I'll take forty dollars
cash.
No. 2: Nope; that's too much. I'll
give you twenty dollars.
No. l: Well, all right, I'll take
twenty. Hand me the money and I'll
turn over my claim and give you my
chance of getting the animal.
The money was passed from hand to
hand, and No. l left the field, inwardly
chuckling over his good luck in getting
something for nothing. No. 2 started
in to take possession of the farmers
horse, and before daylight he succeed
ed in getting away with the animal,
having sustained no loss or damage
besides his hat, one-half of his coat
tail, and small piece of flesh from
one of his calves, which had gone to
enrich the bulldog.
II any one doubts the right of Rob-
Der No. to sell the horse to No. 2, or
questions the validity Of No. rs title,
1 respectfully refer him to William Nc
Kinley and the Philippine commission

die wrote to Clay that the message
had "all the fury of chained panther
biting the bars of his own cage" Both
sides used it for campaign document
and each thought it applied to the
needs of their separate partisans.
But mindful of the riotous clamor
sounding the alarum around him, jack
son left the wisdom of his course to
the decision of his countrymen, an ap-
peal sustained by a triumphant re-
election and the greater popularity OF
the virile hero of New Orleans. After
the veto by the president of the new
charter the old officers of the bank re-
signed their positions and a new set
of men headed by Langdon Cheeves
were placed in the government OF the
financial institution. And still the
president kept up his bitter fight. He
ordered William ]. Duane, the secre-
tary of the treasury, to remove the
funds of the government from the GUS
tody of the United States bank, and
when that official refused to comply
with the demand of his superior jack
son had him removed from his seat in
the cabinet on Sept 20, 1893, RELOCATING
the Office to Roger B. fancy on the
same day. The appointment of fancy
was Immediately rejected by the SEN
ate, but Jackson overruled the opposl-
ton. In compliance with the presl-
dents command fancy at once effect
ed the removal of the funds of the
United States boarded in the national
bank, sending to congress report ex-
planning his peremptory action on the
grounds that First, the foreign ex-
change committee of the bank con-
trolled it's affairs; second, the institu-
ton had affiliated itself with one OF the
great political parties and sought to
influence the politics of the country;
third, that it had acted selfishly and
unjustly with the government in the
matter Of the per cents and In de-
manding damages on a protested drart.
The controversy over the action of
the president and his secretary OF the
treasury was bitter and widespread.
Congress treated both officers with
acrimony and distrust, and the senate
placed itself on record as repudiating
the act of the president and main
tanned that Jackson had usurped to
himself an authority which the powers
of his Office did not warrant. Jackson
strenuously denied that he had over
stepped the boundaries of his official
capability and protested strongly
against allowing the action of the SEN
ate to be placed on the records of con-
gress. After time his word was
needed and the resolution was with
drawn from the archives of the govern
ment.
No power now, official or unofficial,
could strengthen the tottering founda-
| lions of the Bank of the United States.
After all it was really but branch OF

one of our national banks today. The
people of the country stood Loyalty in
support of the will of their popular ex-
ecutive. Congress saw the futility OF
further argument and realized that the
grant of a new lease of life was hope
less BY the terms of the original
charter the rights of the institution
to exist would expire in 1886, twenty
years after the date of its foundation.
So in 1885 the bank of tho United
States relinquished all claims to the
titles and emoluments Of national
organization and developed into pri-
vate institution rebaptized with the
name of the UNITED States Bank OF
Pennsylvania" Eleven years later its
doors were closed forever, the old sub
ject of national debate shutting out OF
existence, total loss to its owners.
The long struggle was at an end. Pop
ular will had triumphed over private
might and Andrew Jackson had gained
another victory fully as signal in its
results against British domination as
the mighty battle of New Orleans.
The spirit of loyalty to the republic
that won the day in 1882 has been re-
kindled by the present Gage bill and
there will be a decisive victory for the
masses on Nov. next. The promoters
Of the Gage bill have forced these Is
sues into prominence:
Shall the so-called Bank Of the United
States be revived?
Shall the Government of tho United
States or tho (Bank of EnglanD Bank
of the United States issue the money OF
the country?
Shall the British gold standard be
maintained or shall we return to the
American system of coinage as existed
prior to 1873?

Yes, there is vague impression
lowering over my memory that three
years ago heard something warn che
laboring people that to change the
monetary basis would cause a rise in
the prices without a corresponding
rise in the wages of the working
classes. Do you remember any such
argument used by any one? Well, the
changes were not made, but the trusts
have raised the prices and the wages
have not been raised to correspond. A
cog must have slipped somewhere Or
somebody must have been buncoed.
Wonder if the capitalist class has been
the victim! OF course the working
fellows voted as they were told and
could not have been in error!-J. A..

Cages Astonishing Conduct.

The United States treasury, under
the guidance of the appreciative hand
of Banker Gage, has come to the relief
of the New York banks, who are crying
for more money, by offering to buy
$25.000,000 of bonds at the market
price. This would seem to be good
stroke of business for the banks, but
mighty bad for the government, and,
therefore, for the people. 1t is only
few months ago that the treasury was
selling bonds at par, and now they are
being bought back again at about 10
per cent premium. Thus, on every
million of bonds purchased, there is
a premium paid to the banks of about
$4,000, or total loss to the peo-
pie Of $3,200.000.
II the war in the Philippines goes
on for another year, more bonds will
have to be sold at par, and II that

Poor Miller, the financial wizard, who
got away with few thousands Of his
dupes' money, comes in for a large
amount of condemnation from the
Wall street papers! Just as though
he was worse than the hundreds there
who have gotten millions from their
dupes by getting them into specula-
tions that took their money from
them. There is not fortune of the
street that is more honest than the
sum that Miller got away with. Miller
gave nothing in return for what he
got-neither does any other speculator.

The Topeka Capital, the leading Re-
publican paper of Kansas, is beginning
to read the handwriting on the wall.
In a recent issue the Capital thus
sounds a note of warning:
1--WE are not alarmists, but we are
impressed with the belief that the peo-
pie of the United States are facing to-
day a menace to the peace Of country
as great and powerful as slavery was
in 1861. In 1900 it will be national
issue. In that contest we believe that
the Republican party will be on the
side of the people against the criminal
trusts. The political party that stands
as the protector and promoter OF the
allied money interests ought to and
will go down in ignominious defeat.

industry between the Carnegie and
other interests. Having eaten all the
little fellows, the industrial barons are
now falling afoul of each other and
will crush the weaker ones of the mil

the whole Industrial fabric. Carnegie
has helped build the giant that will
crush him. But 1t has made condi-

stead of as it is, for the benefit of the
