Total NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 1894 $40
These figures tell their own story.
They are an argument in themselves
of the wisdom of the policy of the Re-
publican party in dealing with the
subject of taxation. Over a half a
million doilars has been added to the
safes revenues without imposing any
hardships upon the corporations by
whom the taxes are paid, thereby re-
lieving the people of burdens which
they would otherwise have had to
bear. The Republicans of Ohio pro-
pose to pursue the same wise policy.
They are not offering the people any
violent nostrums or ''cure-alls." They
have proved their sincerity by their
acts and the confidence of the people
in the party cannot be shaken.

BAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin is the seat OF an almost end
less variety of diseases. They are known
by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action OF the skin.
To have smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations of
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for a short time, but cannot remove per
manently the ugly blotches and the red,

Large Increase In the States Rev
enues Through the New Excise
Taxes-The Republican Party's Rec
ord Is Business-like and Correct.
The attempts of the Ohio Demo-
Gratis to make an issue of the subject
of taxation is not proving as success
full as they had expected. The posing
of Tom l.. Johnson as tax reformer,
and the Incorporation of his ideas into
the Democratic state platform, have
failed to create a furore. The reason
is that the people of Ohio are better
informed on the subject of taxation
and what has been done by the two
major political parties to reform the
tax laws of the state than the Demo
cratic leaders suspected. The people
know that the only important legisla-
ton looking to their relief has been
enacted by the Republican legisla-
lures and they are. not deceived by
the professed intentions of a party
that has never even attempted to do
anything for them when it had the op-
portunity.
The people of Ohio are familiar
| with the excise tax laws that have
been enacted by Republican legisla-
| lures during the last six years. These
| laws were designed to relieve the bur
| den of taxation upon real and per-
sonal property by taxing the fran
chises of quasi public corporations
| which enjoy special privileges granted
them by the people. 1t is not our in
tention to review these laws at this
| time but merely to call attention to
the enormous revenue which the state
is deriving from them. The following
table shows the amount of taxes paid
by the various classes of corporations
under these laws for the year 1900:

THE MISSOURI EXHIBIT.

The bin to appropriate n million dol
lars for q Missouri State exhibit at the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition should
be amended In one important particu-
lar before it becomes a law. AS it
stands there will be an inexcusable
waste of the public money.
1t is proposed that there shall be Il
commission of nine to plan and super.
wise a State exhibit involving an expen-
diture of a million dollars. That is as
many commissioners as Congress has
provided to execute the far more i'm
portant trust with which the National
Commission is charged, and there can
be no question that Congress did wisely
in it's radical departure from the pro-
gramme followed in the a S of the CO.
lumbar Exposition Of 1893, when n
commission Of ITO members was au-
thorized. Surely IL the United States can
supervise the whole work of the Expo
sition, in addition to its own disburse-
ment of five millions, with a commits
sion of nine members, Missouri does not
need to have an equal number to look
after its mil%lion-dollar exhibit.
A commission of five members, of
whom three can be Democrats and w
Republicans, is quite large enough. Any
increase beyond that number will mean
a waste of the States money to pro-
vide lucrative sinecures. As the conn

done without delay. The same public

There will be a very general hope that
the favorable Philippine conditions re-
ported by Judge Taft, president of the
Philippine Commission, are based on a
solid conviction In the minds Of the
weakening insurgents that further re-
sistance to American rule is useless.
Az soon rs this conviction is reached,
there should be al improvement in the
relations between this Government and
its Oriental dependency which may tend
to prevent further instruction in the
new future. The establishment of a wise
provisional government will have much
to do with bringing about this better n

ceive that American rule is not so ty-

ted Washington's Birthday anniversary

HIS SECOND TERN.

President McINinley'S second admins
tration begins under conditions contain
ing promise of peculiar benefit to the
syndicate interests whose contributions
to Hanna's campaign slush-fund and
whose compelling influence as employers
Of labor brought about Mr.. Mckinley's
reelection to the Presidency.
1t is ominously significant that ut the
very moment of Mr.. McKinley's taking
control of the direction of national af-
fairs for the next four years the most
notable American development in the
world of N and industry should
be the completed organization Of the ST.
100000, 900 Steel Trust.
The capitalization of this gigantic
monopoly is the heaviest known in the
worlds history. The organizer of the
Steel Trust, j. Pierpont Morgan, is the
man to whom Mark Hanna appealed to
bring about q termination of the Penn
sylvania coal strike, because the strike
was resulting in injury to the Republic
an party. The Morgan syndicate is close
ly allied with the Republican party, and
will be a power in the election Of 1904.
The same administration friendliness
which has encouraged the mOnopolists
to organize the 81, 100. 100000 Steel Trust
and to begin the consolidation Of the
great railway lines, express companies,
palace-car corporations, steel-tube works.
coal-mining properties, tin-plate plants
and the like, is pledged for the four
years now just beginning. One of the
first demands made by the administra-
ton upon the Fifty-seventh Congress
will be for the passage of the Hanna
~ship-subsidy bill, taxing the American
people a total Of S1S0.G00,000 for the ex-
elusive benefit of the Hanna-Payne-
Frye-Standard Oil syndicate. The Presi-
dent and Mark Hanna did their best to
jam this bill through in the closing ses-
sion Of the Fifty-sixth Congress. They
were not able to do so, but they hope
for better things from the F~ifty-seventh.
Indeed, they insist that the ship-sub-
sidy bill shall be passed. and they can
more effectively control an incoming
than an outgoing Congress.
The Philippines. Cuba, Porto Rico. all
will probably become duly Incorporated
in some rs American colonial
possessions during Mr.. McKinIey's sec
ond term, now just begun. They will
be exploited for the profit of the syndi-
Gates. The great American trusts will
hold all the valuable franchises con
veying privileges and property in these
colonial possessions. The laws govern
ing our new dependencies will be passed
in accord with the requirements of the
sy%ndicates and for the exclusive con-
serving of syndicate interests. \ typi-
cal beginning in this line was made
when the President compelled the pas
sage of the Porto Rican tariff bill.
The trust organizations and their
manipulators have cause 10 hail the sec
ond Mckinley administration with the
most hopeful and confident acclaim. It's
policies aud its achievements will be
trust policies and achievements for trust
benefit. AS to the continued patience of
the American people under 4 govern
ment of the trusts by the trusts for the
~trusts-that remains to be ascertained.
