by several groups of glass tubes con-
tanning different kinds of commercial

patriotic address: "Filipinos: This
is the hour in which the light spreads
itself over the fields like mantle OF
gold; when the ancient trees, with
their clinging parasites, lazily move
their great crowns in the breath of
the early breeze; when the shrubs
greet the day with the delicious odors
of their flowers, on whose tendrils
the dew has left pearl which the sun
turns into beautiful gift from a Sc
rene night of love; when the birds
raise. in concerted choir, their hymn
OF praise; in short, all nature salutes

PIERPONT MORGAN, TIE PaILAN-
THROPISr.

The standing joke which now con-
fronts the people, is that the few syn
dictates which now only own half the
earth will soon own it all. The
United States bids fair to be the first
the grasp of monopolies which are
even now deyouring one another in
their efforts to grasp everything loose
or screwed down. 1t is now fad for
men, things and money to inyolun-
tarily become propertie, of monopo-
lies and as the United States form the
most progressive and up-to-date ma.
ton of the earth, it stands 10 reason
| it should be first to climb into mon
opoly's lap and stay there. OF course
all these things take time and it may
be several months, perhaps years, be-
fore few like j. Pierpont Morgan
can say, and be on the tquare about
it: 1.-The world, including the Phil
ippines and Cuba and the Panama
canal, is ours" The steel and rail-
road kings are engineering this
scheme in grand style and with trifls
more or less help from Washington
will accomplish the most desired end.
Never was the United States so
''trusted" as today.
Attracting especial attention in this
line at present 10 the offer of j. Pier
pont Morgan to build the Isthmian
canal. This is joyful news for the
people of America and it is most
stupendous piece of magnanimity and
philanthropy on the part of Mr.. Nor
gan to offer TO do all these things.
He could by spending few millions
on the canal lay his hands on the
great stores of gold and silver and
coal and other great money making
commodities in Colom bia, but OF
course he would only rake 10 these
millions upon millions as souvenirs
of mis- philanthropy and would thus
win his way to fame as king of mod
ern Croesuses and into the hearts and
pockets of the people via the 18TH
milan canal. 1t is time the American
people were beginning to realize what
benefactors these monopolists are.
They are always useful. We ..com-
mon" people have been inclined to
fear that we might some day be like
Morgan, Vanderbilt, Gould or Hanna.
But such fear is superfiuous. They
will see to it that the COM
mon people, as the people who
are not overburdened with wealth
and Injuries are called. and there are
many in this class, do not fall
into that calamitous condition. The
nation is prepared to receive now most
any kind of syndicate jolt. Nothing
in finance of politics is too ridiculous
to be true. These syndicates may do
anything. They have been accumu.
latipg money for years in manner
which establishes precedent in his
tory and at which the world has mar
veled. Railroads, municipalities, in
dustries of every kind and shade, and
everything else that is on the map
have been swept down in the monopo-
listic maelstrom, and if this sort of
thing continues many more years, it
may not be long until chair in the
White House can be more easily Sc
cured than chair in a crowded bar
Der shop Saturday night. Some un-
patriotic people are even now ques-
tioning whether j. P. Morgan is not
more of a public benefactor than Will
liam Mckinley.
