Lincoln ives mistaken when he said
that you could not deceive all the peo-
pie all the time.
If Mr.. Babcock had been honest and
sincere he would have introduced his
bill early in the session, so that there
would have been time enough to pass
1t. But he was neither honest nor
sincere He didn't intend that his
bill should become law. Neither he
nor any other machine Republican
will introduce this bill or any bill like
it at the called or regular session OF
congress. The Republican party will
do nothing to injure the fruits so long
as the trusts furnish the funds to carry
on the Republican campaign.
The people do not get a remedial
law to help them, but they have got
clear declaration from the Republican
party that the protective tariff is the
nursing mother of trusts.-Noncon-

WHY LABOR HATES HIM.

During the past two or three years a
new phase has come into use in con-
nection with labor disputes. Several
strikes have been causesd by the re
adjustment of wages" as it is now
called by employers. The following
story very we'll illustrates the mean
ing of the REIMBURSEMENT of wages" in
many instances:
Mr.. Scroggs," said the bookkeeper
this past week l did the junior clerks
work as we'll as my own. This being
pay day, l thought it only right to re-
mind you"
Very good" said old Scros55s. LEI
me see, your salary is $12 and the
clerks S."
Eyes, SIR" replied the bookkeeper
beaming expectantly.
Then working half the week for
yourself Is Sc, and the other half for
the clerk is So. Your salary this weeh
will be $9."-Independsnt

MOTHER OF TRUST,

During the last campaign the Bryan
men contended that the protective tar
iff furnished a firm foundation on
which to build a superstructure of
trusts. The Republicans denied this
contention and said that the tariff did
not protect the trusts.
Now Congressman Babcock, chair
man OF the Republican congressional
committee and a member of the ways
and means committee of congress, has
introduced bill to repeal The tariff on
almost all lines of steel products and
openly acknowledges that the object
of the repeal is to head off the trust
formation Of a gigantic steel trust
now in progress of organization.
Isn't this a dead give away? A
leading Republican tries to repeal a
part OF the tariff because it protects
trusts. This gives the lie direct to the
Republican organs and orators of the
last campaign. 1t clearly admits that
the Bryan men were right and that the
Mckinley men were wrong on the tar
iff question.
All the benefit the people will get
out of this bill is that they will know
beyond doubt that the Republican par
ty is a liar and the father of liars. 1t
was not intended that the bill should
pass-it was only graldstand play to
the galleries-it was done in order
that the party might claim that it had
done something to prevent the forma-
ton of trusts-the bill was introduced
so late in the session that it could not
possibly be passed-it Is fraud as
usual-a false pretense to deceive the
people-a lie for political effect-a
hypocritical attempt to deceive the
masses without in any way injuring

The new railroad king" in Wall
street is James j. Hill OF st. Paul and
the continent at large, who came over
the Canadian frontier q friendless,
moneyless boy forty years ago, and is
now one of the unofficial sovereigns of
his adopted country. Nj. Hill didn't
try his prentice hand on building
pyramid or making a dictionary; he
constructed a transcontinental railway
system, and he still bristles with hair
and energy. The bearded strong men
of the earlier generations who pierced
forests, tunneled mountains and made
flower gardens in deserts have almost
disappeared. The constructive era is
over in railroads. But Mr.. Hill, al
most the last of the great railroad
builders now that Coils p. Hunting
ton is dead, is just as apt, it seems,
at combinations as at construction. A
charming talker, this little giant of the
Northwest, when he finds the time.
The magnificent farms along the Red
river valley which contribute a great
grain traffic to Mr. Hills Great North
ern road were originally stocked with
blooded horses and cattle, which Jim"
Hill, as the people out there call him,
imported at his own expense for their
benefit. Now he is reaping his reward,
and the people there are glad of it

THE PINCH OF LAND MONOP

People generally are prone to asso-
ciate land monopoly with ownership
Of large tracts of land, by one or more
persons; such ownership as exists con-
spicuously in the sparsely settled states
and territories of the far west In the
mere matter of area, land monopoly
does prevail in these regions. But it
should be borne in mind that land
monopoly pinches hardest where land
values are greatest-which is always
in and near the populous cities. Every
growing town in the United States is
honeycombed with object lessons
showing how shrewd men, by availing
themselves of the chances offered by
our unjust laws and customs, are able
to accumulate fortunes that they do
not earn.
Here is case in point: A few years
ago H. H. Kohlsaat, then and now a
wealthy journalist, purchased a small
piece of ground in Chicago, where he
resides. for $4,000. The ground is
located on Dearborn street and Custom
House place and is only 75x67 feet in
area. Though in the heart of the bust
ness district, the land had never been
improved AftE holding the property
fifteen months and enjoying the spec
tacle of seeing other and more enter
prising citizens make valuable i'm
provements all around it, Mr.. Kohlsaat
sold the land for $3.50 900 in cash. BY
that one deal he made net profit Of
$4,000.
Large cities are the places to find
land monopoly blooming all the year
round. With such inducements for
making money by mere speculation
why should not men with money and
selfishness speculate, and keep on spec
ulating, in natural opportunities, in
stead of being wealth-producers?
But if all men were land spectators
and none were wealth producers, the
human race would soon perish from
off the earth. Just and scientific tax
alton would soon put an end to a
system that compels industry to enrich
idleness and go hungry itself.-Ralph
Hoyt in The Star.

Peoples Studies.
Culture is not barred to anybody in
America, whether he be q college stu
dent or a postgraduate, or not, said
]. II. Hatfield to the Educational
club in Chicago the other day. Slave
labor and its prohibition Of intellectual
growth are things of the pastor near
ly so. Now and then we meet so-call--
ed fine ladies' who find it extremely
ridiculous and cause for contemptu-
Gus merriment that the hired help in
their kitchens should have the impu-
dence to actually want to develop 4
taste for music or good literature or
art. The old slave idea, which very
consistently prohibited as crime and
punished severely the teaching Of ne
groes how to read is not entirely dead
and buried, but exists, here and there,
to this day, as | have had opportunity
to notice. Especially did l gain such
an impression in the United States
navy, which is rather feudal sur
vival in some respects. l noticed that
a common sailor might be as vile
and profane and low as he chose, and
no one was troubled about it. He
could go ashore and carouse disgrace
fully, parading the uniform of his
country into all sorts of dens of infamy
and no one in authority would COM
plain or worry. They seemed, on the
whole, rather satisfied than otherwise
that the slaves of the forecastle should
find something to keep them amused
and contented, but | observed that,
while there was no law on the subject,
if a sailor attempted to pass his time
like a quiet, self-respecting gentleman
and American citizen, especially if he
sat quietly reading on the deck during
his free hours, it always caused a GER
tain feeling of restlessness on the part
Of the officers who saw it; they SEEM
ed to have an instructive sense that
that sort of thing reduced somewhat
their immense superiority over the
crew, and they found some way to
break it up, too every time. These
things, however, which are rather the
rule than the exception in European
society are going fast in American life
and the time is already here when ev-
cry self-respecting man has the oppor-
tunity to put himself at the task Of
self-improvement on the highest side
of his nature. With an eight-hour
working day the plumber or carpenter
has, believe. more free time to put
into the nutrition of his higher ma
ture than the college professor, whose
merely routine work of drudgery usu-
ally consumes about ten hours out of
every twenty-four.

SpInIsters in Glover.

In Denmark the spinster's state has
been robbed of much of its horror. In
fact, there's a premium on spinster-
hood. A celibacy insurance company
has been founded, and between an in
surance policy and husband Dan
ish maiden's heart is rent with indie
cision Matrimony is interesting but
problematic Insurance in good COM
pany is a safe proposition. How shall
a wise woman choose? If the holder
of a policy in the celibacy is still I'M
married at 40 she is considered i'm
mune and gets life annuity. If she
marries before 40 she forfeits her pol
lev and premiums. In Sweden and
Norway there are several old maids
homes, and at least one of them is
most attractive institution. A very
wealthy man, dying more than two
hundred years ago, left most of his
fortune to the old maids among his
descendants. A superb home was built
and furnished, and managed by sala-
ried trustees. Any old maid who can
prove blood relationship to the found
err of the institution is entitled to a
place in the home. She has a private
suite of rooms. private servant, pri-
vate meals, and is subject to no rules
save such as ordinary good behavior
demands. Why doesn't some one do
something for the American old maids
who cannot master the art of trans
forming themselves into bachelor
women-New York Sun.

A discovery of much interest was re-
Gently made at Concord, Mass. There
was found in the attic of the house In
which Thoreau lived a quantity OF lead
pencils stamped "Thoreau and Son." 1t
was then remembered that the great
naturalist and his father once earned
their bread by the manufacture OF such
pencils. Those that were discovered
the other day are naturally in great de-
mand and have probably fetched high
ier prices than were paid at any time

There is hardly town in the land
which does not cherish the recollec-
tion of some citizen whose life was an
honor to his place and generation. is
there a suitable monument to mis-
memory? If not, what better way IS
there of showing that he is not for
gotten than by planting memorial
tree in his name? We cannot all en-
dow bosplsals or found public Libraries
Inf we can all do this. A tree thus
n,antod will bless those who come al
fer as well as commemorate him VINO
hoe gone before. 1t will be a better
monument than a shaft of granite
or marble, and it will call for nothlng
but a few minutes labor and little
rublic spirit. The boys and girls OF
tho public schools have here noble
