THE BARCELONA RIOTS.

The dispatches from Madrid indi-
cate that the feeling of dissatisfaction
among the working classes in Spanish
towns is quite general. The riotous
demonstrations which began in BARGE
Iona have appeared in so many other
places that the movement has acquired
almost the dignity of revolution. 1t
is said that the anarchists are to blame
for the rioting. Doubtless they have in
cited the masses to acts of violence and
suggested the use of the torch, but
they could not have brought about the
riots if there had not been a deep feel
ing of dissatisfaction among the peo-
pie.
1t is said, and with much show of
truth, that the real cause of the trou-
BILE is the taxes which have been levied
recently on the necessities of life. The
government has bigger load of debt
than It can comfortably carry, and in
order to get sufficient revenue for in
terest on it's bonds it has been forced
to impose taxes which bear heavily on
the laboring people. If it should repeal
these taxes it would be without the
means of meeting the interest on its
obligations. 1t looks. therefore, il it
were either riots or bankruptcy.
The Spanish-American war crippled
Spain seriously-at least that war and
the wars she had been carrying on in
Cuba and the Philippines. The loss of
her colonies disheartened her people to
some extent. Besides her finances are
in deplorable condition. BY far the
best days of Spain are long way in
the past. And the probability is that
she will steadily decline in wealth and

There is an epidemic of smallpox
at Des Moines. the capital of Iowa.
The Legislature is in session there and
the members of that body are greatly
alarmed by the presence of the disease
in the city. Some of the members
want the Legislature to adjourn I'M
til June. and a resolution to that effect
has been introduced. The members.
however. are in doubt as to whether
it would be a wise thing to do to pass
it.
1t is admitted that the epidemic in
Des Moines is a pretty bad one, and
many of the members have been ex-
posed to the disease in one way and
another. If they should scatter to
their homes they might start cpl

methods in dealing with the disease

THE STEEL TRUSTS RIVAL.

The Record Herald of Chicago is au.
/ thority for the statement that agent.
4 of the Union Steel Company of France
are in that city seeking contracts al
| prices below those of the United States
Steel Corporation, better known as tn,
billion dollar steel trust.
But how is it possible for a stee
/ company of France to place its prod
ucts in this country? There is a pretty
heavy duty on nearly all kinds of steel
products. Besides, it is a well known
fact that steel can be manufactured in
this country at less cost than in any
other.
The only explanation is that the cost
of manufacturing steel is much less
than the public understands it to be-
and the French company, in order to
get into our market, is willing to ac-
cept a very small profit.
That there is some truth in this ex-
PLANTATION is apparent from the enor-
nous net earnings of the billion dol
lar steel trust. 1t is the understand
ing that these earnings for the first
year of the trusts existence, will
amount to as much as 10000, 900. With
such earnings as these it is apparent
that the profits of the steel business
must be enormous
The presence of the agents of the
French steel company in this country
for the purpose of finding a market for
the surplus output of the mills of their
company ought to be sufficient to in
duce Congress to reduce the tariff on
all kinds of steel products. BY doing
so it would confer a great benefit on
the whole country.
The steel trust would of course at
once reduce its price, because it
would not let the home market, or any
part of it, pass TO the control of
French steel workers.
The people would be greatly benefited
because there would be a big reduc-
ton in the prices of steel and products
made from steel. The Republican lead
ers seem to think, however, that their
party stands a. better chance for re-
tanning control of the government by
standing in with the trusts and refus-
ing to make a reduction in the tariff
on steel products or any other articles.
They may be right about that, but we
should not be much surprised if they
should discover, eventually, that they
made a mistake. There is a very earn
est demand by the masses of the peo-
pie for reform of the tariff.
The Republican party will have to
ture, but when it gets ready to do so
it may find that it is too late-that it
has lost the confidence of the people.

PLEADING THE many ACT.

Some months ago the City Council
of Philadelphia passed an ordinance
giving away street railway franchises
for which John Wanamaker offered the
city $2,5OO,OO0. The offer was spurned
by the Mayor and Council the claim
being made that what. the Council and
Mayor wanted TO do was to give the
people an opposition street railway sys-
TEN. 1t was charged that Mr.. Wanna
maker was only an agent of the Union
Traction Company. which already had
most of the city's streets.
If we are not mistaken the Inquirer
of Philadelphia was one of the most
earnest defenders of the Mayor and
Council for their action in giving away
the franchises in question.
1t seems that those to whom the
franchises We're granted have disposed
of them to the Union Traction Com
pany for sum that is estimated by
some to be several millions of dollars.
Now the Inquirer is saying that 1t be-
lieved that the parties to whom the
franchises were granted were honest.
and that it would not have supported
the Mayor and Council if it had
thought an opposition street car sys-
tenn would not be constructed.
Evidently the Inquirer don't care if
1T makes itself the laughing stock of
the City of Brotherly Love by pleading

suggested, when the ordinance granting
the franchises was pending. that the
franchises should become void if they

permitting those to whom they were
granted to do with them as they pleased
ought to have aroused the Inuuirer's

been too cheerful innocent to har-
Dor suspicious of the Mayor and Coun-
Gil of its city.
