Commissioners the Idols OF
the EilipinOs.

Balanga, Province of Bataan, Luzon,
March When the launch bearing
the members of the United States
Philippine commissioners appeared
off the shore of the mountainous
province of Bataan it was met by
more than 100 f~ag-decorated bancos,
propelled by from four to eighteen
oarsmen, stripped to their waists. On
the boats were painted the names OF
the towns they hailed from, and in
them were the head men of the viii
lagos.
Each fotilla passed the commission
er's launch in review. the oarsmen
shouting "Vivas."
The whole procession then scurried
toward the shore, headed by a sail
banco towing a canopied barge i n
which were the members of h COM
mission and their party.
The barge grounded amid a crush
of small boats, and the younger ma
tives sprang into the water and
dragged it to a point where wagons
hub-deep, were IN waiting.
These carried the visitors to dry
land. to Puerto Rivas, and thence to
Batanga, passing through lines OF na-
tives and streets of fag-decorated
houses to the military headquarters.

A SOLAR PLEXUS BLOW.
Telling Crack at the Trust Aiding
Protective Tariff by a FormeR
Cabinet emb

Ex-Attorney General W. IL. n.
Miller, of President HarrisoH's cab
met, has written a letter in which
he charges that the present domin-
ating influence of trusts sis due en-
tirely to the tariff that prohibits for
eign manufacturers from entering
our markets."
This is a remarkable confession to
come from such a source when both
he and his chief were in the days of
their power the promoters and de-
tenders of the most oppressive tariff
ever enacted in this country. The
Mckinley tariff, whose Ubiquitous
provisions led to a revolution in the
politics of congress and the second
election of Mr.. Cleveland, was but
the progenitor of the Dingley tariff,
by means of which and the condi-
tons of the country, superinduced by
the Spanish war, the tariff hooters
nave been able to extend their tenta-
cles over every form of industry I'M
der the new name of trusts. That a
man of Mr.. Miller's perspicacity
should have been so tardy to dis
the pernicious effects of a pro-
t~ective tariff is a marvel of mental
and visual obliquity.
Surely if the trusts are pernicious
in their effect, and if their harm
full existence is due to the unjust
tariff, the logical sequence would be
that the tariff should be so altered
as to take away its protective fea-
lures. The further natural inference
roll f41I@-- &I-& NJ ATiiInr n = nm
educated man, versed in logic, should
use his efforts to ecure the repeal
or modification of this tariff.
But the indications are not favor
able for such a desirable result. Did
not Mr.. Miller entertain such rela-
tions to ex-President Harrison as he
does, no one would be inclined to
doubt that he was a convert to the
democratic doctrine of a tariff for
revenue, as against one fer protec-
ton, and that his efforts would here
after be given toward the promotion
of tariff reform. But in the light
of his chiefs Ann Arbor speech,
which led the country for a time to
think it his purpose to antagonlze
the Philippine policy of President
Mckinley, while it only had the sig
nifcance of an oratorical display, we
fear there is no hope for practical
relief from Indiana craftsmanship.
That there has existed a GOODNESS or
lack of hearty cooperation between
the past and the present chief eNecu-
, tive was evidenced in the last cam
! paign, when the voice of the former
was not heard in the land. The
more probable Interpretation of Mr..
Miller's letter and apparent change
of opinion upon the tariff is a pur-
| pose to show himself not in full
sympathy with the administration,
and therefore he has aimed this blow
at the trusts as its solar plexus.-

A PROSPEROUS q
Profits of the Standard OIL Company
Since the Republican Victory
of 1896

The par value of a share of stock
in the Standard Oil company is 500.
Since the republican victory of 1896,
the market value of Standard Oil stock
has been steadily increasing. Soon
after the election of 1896 this stock
was quoted at $500 per share. In Feb
ruary, 1899, it sold for S439 per share;
in February, 1900, it sold for S5.12 per
share; in September, 1900, it dropped
back to $500 per share. But after
confidence" was once more restored
by a republican victory, this stock
went up to 5000 per share. In January.
1901, it sold for 1874. On February 4
it sold at SS05, and the latest quotation
at hand is Ss15.
When one reads the record of recent
dividends declared by this great o
cern it is not difficult to understand
why the market valae of the stock has
increased so rapidly.
The capital stock of the Standard
Oil company is 0 0,O00.00O. In 1891,
1892, 1898, 1894 and 1895, the Standard
Oil company paid dividends amount
ing for each year to SIP on each share
ofstock. In 1896 the dividends amount
ed to S21 per share; in 1897 they were
$50 per share; in the month of jan
uary. 1900, they were $50 per share; in
April, 1900, the dividends amounted to
SO per share; in July, SIS per share;
n November, SO per share; and the
company has o declared a dividend
payable March Is OF $50 per share.
This latest dividend means tSle pay
ment of 20,00O,o 900 upon the 100000
600 of capital stock.
The total dividends paid by this
company for the entire year of 1900
amounted to $3.50 900.
The dividends to be paid on March
Is brings the aggregate up to SOS, 000,-
900 of dividends paid upon Il capital
stock of $4,000 O 900 during a period of
IA months and Is days.
1t will be readily understood from
the figures why Standard Oil stock is
quoted so high in the markets.
But where will we find an explana-
ton of a condition that within n Pc
riod of Is months q concern whose
working capital is 100000, 600 is en-
abled to roll up profits to the extent OF
SOS, 900, 1000?
This certainly indicates that the
stockholders of the Standard Oil COM
pany are prosperous. But some one
must have paid this SOS. 600, 200. Who
paid it?-The Commoner.

AGAINST AN EXTRA SESSION.
Scheme to Accommodate the Trusts
at the Expense of American
Trade and Industry.

Word comes from Washington City:
"An extra session of congress is inev-
table," Why? Really because the
refiners' trust and the cigar
trust want things so fixed that Cuba
shall be held in such subsection to the
United States as to admit Cuban raw
sugar and leaf tobacco into this coun-
try free of duty or at very much re-
duced rates.
No matter if the solemn pledge of in.
dependence to Cuba is ruthlesSly vio-
lated. No matter if destruction comes
upon the promising beet sugar indus
try of our northern and western states
or the cane crop of the south. No mat
ter if our vast domestic fruit and veg
etable interests r blighted. No mat
ter if domestic tobacco culture be
comes Improbable. No matter if the
enormous business of cigar making
is transferred to Havana and Manila
No matter if the promising develop
ment of the rice industry is throttled
No matter if cotton drops back from.
ten cents to five cents per pound.
Oh. no, why should these great do
mestic interests be considered at all?
Of course the proper thing for con
gress to do is to provide an unlimited
market for the tropical syndicates and
for their products grown by collie Ia
Dor. The scheme has worked beauti-
fully in Hawaii Let US repeat it in
Cuba and the Philippines!
Sc for an extra session to hold Cuba
in apron strings to enact reciprocity"
with Cuba and 1.-The countries at the
south of u.s." Never mind if thereby
the farmers, laborers and manufac-
turers of the United States, who fur
nished the blood and treasure to set
Cuba free, are financially Frustrated
What was the a for, except to give
the trusts a chance to exploit the trop-
ics-and 1.-The public be. damned!"
What are the farmers for, or the pub
lie, except TO pay taxes, support the
army and navy, and enable the trusts
to not only wax fat in the tropics,
but to absolutely control things at
home?
such is, apparently, the reasoning
of the powers that seek to force an
extra session upon congress. Will tho
nefarious scheme succeed? Will con-
gress be Observation-Disclosures Agri.

THE tarif-makers are now be-

Secretary Gage has helped the
sugar trust by raising the tariff on
Russian sugar, but he has played
smash with the foreign trade of the
steel trust. Pierpont Morgan may
get Lyman's official scalp if he doa't

by consulting the administra-
ton press one can readily ascertain
that while it is proper enough for as
to exclude Russian sugar from the
American market, Russia has no
moral right to exclude American
agricultural implements from her
markets.-Detroit Free Press.
Senator Hanna declares that
the charge that the shipping bill is
intended to be payment of political
debt is false and ~slanderous. II IS
probably a mere coincidence hat h

The federalists are securing many
new members for their party in La

The promoters of the conservative
party have published a long address
to Judge Taft, president of the Amer
lean Philippine commission, written in
fowery and fulsome language, the
gist of which seems to be expressed
in the following paragraph:
Eve confess to being distinct from
some of those men who were coop
Grating with the American govern
ment for peace in that particular
which refers to the maintenance,
against restrictions and exactions. or
our programme which places the
maintenance of peace subject to a
compliance with the conditions, which
would lead to a point whence there Is
no outlet. We believe there is no bet
ter means of perpetuating it than an
absolute and unconditional adhesion,
as younger brothers, and as conditions
may admit, this country can be raised
to the level of its aspirations, bless
ing the hand which strengthened 1T,

independence and thus converting 1T
