JANUARY DIVIDENDS.

Ii has been esiim 4'ed that The hold
ers of remuneraiiNr securities will on
the first of January receive dividends
in the sum total of about $50, 900, 900.
But few years back when the an
nual and semi-annual dividends pay
able on the first of January had reach
ed S75,OO0,OOO it was regarded as
wonderful; but the wonder really
lies in the doubling OF the amount in
a decade of years. From these fig-
ures the remarkable strides made in
this country in the field Of commerce
and industry may be conceived. This
does not include the divisions Of
profits in private firms, but embraces
what is paid out by railroads, banks
and industrial and trading corpora
tions, with fixed capital and which
make public announcements of their
profits in some form.
These are vast figures and are
almost beyond the comprehension of
the average man.

Domestic imperialism.
itor of the Ocala Banner

To the Editor of the Ocala Banner
We have heard much about ''imper.
ialism" during the past five years.
AS the word is usually applied, it
means the governing OF alien races "r
peoples against their will. But III n
larger sense it means despOtism in all
its phrases.
Imperialism is nothing new. Nor
is its exercise over the Filipino, the
Porto Rican, or the Hawaiian, any
thing more than an application of
our existing institutions in wider
field. In every state and nation,
from time immemorial, it has gov
erned the relation OF the sexes. Many
of the men who call themselves anti
imperialists," aud denOunce most
vigorously the control Of alien RAGS
abroad, have DO word Of censure for
similar control Of one half OF our own
citizens at home. To deny an ignO-
rart Filipino a voice in the manage
ment OF his own affairs is tyranny; to
deny the wives and mothers of Bos-
ton vote on district option is a mat
ter of course. Until within six
| months the enlightened Common
| wealth of Massachusetts deprived
every married woman of any legal
| right 10 the care and custody of her
| minor children so long as she lived
| with her husband And it took a
| shocking 'ase OF insanity, murder,
and attem, Ted suicide of All outraged
| mother TO wiring from our Legislature
a reluctant concession of woman 5
| legal right TO u share i'll the control OF
| her own children. Yet a woman is 8
citizen of the United States and of
the state IN which she resides.
Taken as u general fact today, all
over the world, women are living
under domestic Imperialism, and in
the vast majority Of cases they make
no audible protest. But there never
can he a true republic until domestic
Imperialism ceases To exist, and
woman takes her rightful place be-
side man in the home, and in society,
in church and state, aud nation.-
