SLAVES IN THE PHILIPPINES.
According to omciaI Report There
Are Thousands OF Natives
In Bondage.

Not long ago the Manila govern
ment sent us the news that one of
the dates of the sultan of Sulu has
abolished slavery. This vas an evil
dent effort of the censor to lead us
exists in u new possessions was be-
ing extinguished. The official report
of Col. Petit and Maj. o. p. Sweet,
who are the commanders of the
United States troops in the islands
where slavery and polygamy exists,
tell a different tale. The first-named
officer says: "Under our orders 1
believe all Philippine slaves and cap
tives have been turned yer to
US, and further slavery, either by
conquest or traffic between islands.
has been prohibited. The abolish
ment of slavery can be attempted in
one of we ways-by war or by pur-
chase. The latter would be futile. /
cannot imagine a more desolate peo-
pie than the Moro slaves would be
if set free. Their freedom would be
of short duration. War could be had
for the asking. It is for the United
States government to decide IL IL
wants it. The Moros have plenty OF
arms and ammunition and a country
passable only by its waterways"
Mai. Sweet says: 'The question of
slavery, although not recognized by
the United States, is still a fact, and
is a constant source of trouble on
account of slaves escaping from one
master to another, or their being
stolen. Whenever a question relat-
ing to slavery comes before me, I
simply make the owners prove they
are slaves beyond doubt, in which
case I have nothing TO do with them;
but in ease I can pick a flaw in their
title, I give the alleged slaves free
dom papers. Thousands of Moros are
held as slaves who are by right free
people,"
Thousands of freemen slaves under
the stars and stripes, and the Taft
commission and the home government
doing nothing to free them. IF they
are slaves without doubt 1 have moth
ing to do with Them" says this officer.
Sixty thousand troops hunting down
Filipinos, and not a man or a gun used
to even attempt to suppress this trade
in these unfortunate and miserable
people.
Congress has given President Nc
Kinley full power in the Philippines,
Increased the regular army to 100000
men, appropriated all the money asked
for, and yet he has made no move to
suppress this blot on our civilization!
In his tou through the south and west
his every-hour theme was full of rap
ture and exultation that the flag waved
freedom and prosperity. How
free and prosperous are these slaves?
they ear daily gaze upon the flag.
The republican party has made Presi-
dent Mckinley as great an autocrat in
the Philippines as the car of Russia
is in his dominions, and Russia with all
her b~arbarous customs has none Of
this.
Yet the American people. with their
eyes open but blinded by partisanship
or the pelf promised and distributed
by the republican machine, voted for
Imperialism, of which this slavery in
the Philippines is one of the attributes.

A Tall Smoke Column.

During the burning of the Standard
Oil company's tanks at Bayonne, n.
J., in July, 1900, an immense column of
smoke, shaped at the top like an UNI
brella, rose into the air, where very
little wind was stirring, to an eleva-
ton. measured by t~riangulation, OF
13,411 feet, or more thar two miles and
a half. Above the column white clouds
formed in an otherwise cloudless sky,
and remained visible for two days. the
fire continuing to urn and the smoke
to rise. After the explosion of a
gas oil-tank flames shot up to a height
of 5000 feet, and the heat radiated
from them was felt at a distance Of
a mile and three-quarters, where it
was more noticeable than close to the
fire.-Youth's Companion.

HIM TWINS.
But the Outdoor Evangelist Readtls
Took Advantage of the
Occasion.

Rev. DIR. W. A. Robinson, pastor of
Trinity Methodist Episcopal church
and president of the Evangelical al
lance, has made a record this summer
with the famous summe Gospel wag-
on. All through the terrible heat he
has stuck right to the work, preaching
four m a week from the vehicle,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Some quite amusing incidents have
occurred" said DIR. Robinson to an
Enquirer reporter. lowing to the ex-
traordinarily intense heat, the people
were, of course, somewhat restless.
Now L have a way of my own when it
comes to getting and keeping the at
tention of an audience disposed to be
restless. There's always, as l have
found, some man or woman in h
crowd with a baby in arms. / ask such
man or woman to let me take the baby.
Various conditions contribute to the
success of the request. There | am, a
preacher, standing in a ~ine-looking
Gospel wagon. The father or mother,
whichever it is, has the baby, is tired
and glad to be relieved of it for a few
minutes. Then, too the novelty of the
request and the Observation-Disclosures
ing-to-do-next, in the minds of every
body, acts as a spellbinder.
Getting the baby in my arms, ]
spend a moment or two getting on good
terms with it, make some odd or other
wise sort of comment on it, and then
proceed to tell the people of Jesus TAX
ing the little ones in His arms, blessing
them, and saying that everybody must
become as little children if they would
enter the kingdom of Heaven. Well, a
few evenings ago, at the Wade street
market, l looked my audience over for
a baby, and, not seeing any, I said:
Can it be possible that there isn't a
baby in this fine, large a~udience?'
There was no response except a lot
of all right laughter. 1 repeated the
question, and as l did so I noticed two
little tots pushing their way through
the crowd toward the wagon. I could
see their heads. Surprising that they
were coming to offer themselves in lieu
of babies, I busted myself with looking
up something in my Bible to talk
about. Suddenly two of the ~tiniest ba-
bies / have EVER seen were thrust into
the wagon, and two little girls ex-
claimed in shrill chorus:
We've brought you twins, mister!
Please preach twins to US tonight
"The audience roared, and I laughed
pretty hard myself. Finally / preached
a little sermon about the good meas
ure that God gave to some people, and
we had a splendid meeting"

TRUSTS ABROAD AND AT HOME
There In a Big Difference I'm Trusts
and Ours Suffer by the Com-
parfson.

1t is a most striking circumstance
that the trusts should have reached
their highest development and most gil
gantic proportion in the virgin field of
| America, the very country in which
we would naturally expect them to APP
pear last. Under normal conditions
there are better opportunities for com
! petition than there are anywhere else
in the world, and the great masses Of
American capital are of recent &C.
emulation.
According to the, report of Prof.
jerks, made to the industrial commits
sion, the trusts in foreign countries
are quite different from our combines.
There they are combinations of sep
arate concerns for the maintenance of
prices and the restriction of produc-
ton, and they usually fail through
some of them breaking the agreement
and selling for less than the priaas
agreed upon. Such violations of the
agreements are bad for the combina-
tions, but good for the consumers.
When, however, the different concerns
have been welded into one and are all
under one management, it is clear that
the prices can be held in a grip of iron,
subject only to certain economic laws
which no trust can entirely control.
There can be no rivalries or working at
cross when the whole combi-
nation is under one management.
Prof. jerks shows that the object of
thus unifying the management is to
control the output and limit produce
ton, when deemed necessary, by clos
ing the least profitable factories. What
this means to both consumer and the
factory hands requires no explanation
beyond the simple statement of higher
prices for the consumer and fewer men
employed in the mills. The funda-
mental idea with the trusts is that tie
dividends of stockholders must be kept
at the top notch, no matter what be-
comes of anybody else.
The Iron Trade Review attempts
to prove that we cannot manufacture
iron and steel as cheapfy as other
countries by showing that u ex-
smaller than those of Great Britain.
The fact that the steel trust is SELL
ing and making contracts to sell
steel IN europe would make III ciear
to any but a trust controlled organ
that there must be a profit in the
transactions or the trust would not
seek them, and even If sold at cost
added freight it would show
that the cost here is less than in the
country the trust exports to. 1t is
probable that this is only a dodge to
try and prevent the tariff from be-
ing taken off the trusts, products.
The tinplate trust is one of our
infant industries protected
from all competition from abroad and
is a monopoly at home. This baby
managed, however, to squeeze
the American people last year
about s~4o.oo0,ooo of profits and this
accomplished by selling sheet
ron covered with a composition of
cad, which the trust called tin. Have
noticed since the trust was
that there is very little real
in on the market?
