C0NQUESTS BY MORTGAGES.
How the Loaning OF Money Carries In

tFrom the Indianapolis JournaD

writer in one of the July magazine.
says the pawning of any possessions for
money is the civilized method of breaking
up ana Conquerlng a weaker country"
Such acquisition of territory docs not at
tract so much attention AS conuuerinR
with armies, but 1t Is much cheaper and
more effective.
To-day Persia is owned by Russia and
Great Britain because those governments
| have loaned IT money and hold It's rail
roads and chief industries as security
IA IL can never pay the loans, Persia is
entirely under the control of those two
powers. Portugal is owned by Great Brit

whom II owes go for the payment
of which Its railroads. mines, and other
public interests are pledged. Bolivia has
| borrowed all the money 1t can upon its
natural resources. In time 1t will cease
In be nation except in name.
1t was the knowledge that Cuba would
soon be mortgaged to European govern
ments which led the republicans to pass
the Platt amendment, which makes it i'm
, possible for Cuba to borrow money or
pay the millions or alleged bonds issued
4 by Spain and the provincial governments
| of the revolutionists. Without such a pro.
hbiton and without the supervision of
the United States the untricd rulers OF
| cuba and the adventures who seek Their
own advantage would soon have involved
the Independent government Of Cuba in a
debt which would make It dependent upon
the government whose people had pur-
chased the bonds of the republic
1t is probable that most OF the opposi-
| ton to the Plat amendment came indi-
rectly from intriguers and spectators
who would have obtained practical CON
troll Of the island by the mortgaging OF
| Its resources to European money lenders
Because OF the insistence of the President
and his party in Congress. Cuba will not

OUR ENORMOUS PENSION LIST.

The pension list is larger by 1000 names
than it was a year ago in spite Of all the

nIcnt in the report II that 1854 claims
have been filed at the department on aC-
count of the war with Spain These fig
urcs seem almost incredible when II Is re-
membercd that the war actually lasted
only thirty days and that tho number Of

II is presented by some of our contcm-
porari as new information furnished by
Mr. y. A. Wlnston's article in the July At
lantiC that monopolCs and trade comhna-
lions were rife in the sixteenth century
While the details of some of them may
have been forgotten, the fact itself is not
row. 1t Is the memory of these monopo-
lies and their successors extending even
to the eighteenth century that established
tho constitutional and political revolt
against monopoly in trade. The peculiar
ity ls that with the exactions of these
monorOlics - part of commercial history,
and their political results Crvstalized into
what an eminent court once called Our
constitutional prohibition of monopolics, )"
they should be accepted now as inevitable,
and even represented as a new and orig
inal development of modern commerce
Mr.. Winston draws from tho history Of
these monOpolicS tho fact that Ill sit n
combinations are destined to collapse. 1t
Is true that tEcY cannot retain their cA-
elusive control Of the market unlcsS In, "

off competition. But 1t was proved in tho
oldcn times, H. it has been proved in the
last quarter or a century. that If from
false legislation they had the power of
shutting rivals out of business they could
control prices until that POWER was lost
It is interesting to have Mr. Winston
article revive the fact that the most strn-
gent legislation, municipal and imperial
was enacted against these monopolies, bu,
the legisls tive efforts failed simply i0r
lack of enforcement. But the time cam,
when they were wiped out. Tho inference
