the Mockery of Free Cuba"

Tine MockerY OF Free Cuba"
The action of the United States in
delivering Cuba from Spanish
oppression, under pledge to
"leave the government of the island
to its own people, who our Congress
declared care and of a right ought to
be free and independent, was loudly
proclaimed to be the only such act of
national upselfiShneSs ever performed
1t was noble deed, nobly performed
But the sequel already furnishes the
lustre of that chivalric deed and is
making a bitter mockery of free Cuba.
Virtually under compulsion by our
Government the Cuban Constitutional
Convention ratified certain conditions
of our withdrawal from the island,
among which was one readings:
That said Government shall not as
-sn9e-0r contract any pubic dept u
pay the interesbupof. which and to
make reasonable sinking-fund provi-
sion for the ultimate discharge Of
which the ordinary revenues of the
island after defraying the current eX-
penses, shall be inadequate.
One of the inducements held out to
the Cuban delegation to Washington
to accept the "Platt amendments
was the promise of leading republicans
Including, it was said, President
McKinley-tEat the United States
would enter into such reciprocal trade
relations with Cuba, including an
abatement Of our duties on her sugar
and tobacco, as would enable her peo-
pie to dispose of their products at a
living profit in their natural market
President Mckinley recognized this
obligation and sought to prepare thu
way for its prompt and honorable dis
charge, in his great speech in Buffalo
President Roosevelt, in his first mes
sage to Congress, declared that ''ac
are bound by erery consideration of homo
and enpediency to pass commercial
measures in the interest of Cuba
well-being."
The Senate refused, at the behes
of the Sugar Trust and the beet-suga
interest to dischar ge this obligation
1t refused to the young republic q
"hving chance" And now, when the
lower house of the Cuban Congress
has passed a bill authorizing loan tt
meet the needs of the Government
whose revenues are depleted by the alb
solute ban which our tariff puts upo
her trade and commerce, there is tai
that Cur Government may interfere
ander the conditions cited, to forbi
the debt.
That is, we deny to Cuba her natu
al and needful revenues, and then fol
bid her to borrow money! Really
would not a bold and direct tilibuStel
ing seizure and annexation Of the is
land be less discreditable to US than
this driving of her helpless people tt
despair and ruin as means of forcin
them to give up the long struggle TO
freedom? Piracy is not as contempt

Republican Tendencies.

If any one has any doubt concern
ing the tendency of the Republican
party with relation to trusts, the
doubt may be removed by reference
to a dispatch from Washington under
date of April IA, and printed in the
Chicago Record-Herald, republican.
Walter Wellman, the Record-Her-
AIDS well known Washington cor
respondent, sent to his paper this
dispatch:
zone of the most prominent ad.
miniStration republicans in the cOun-
try today defined the issue OF the COM
ing battle as he saw them developing
in congress. He said: "TrustS and
imperialism are the two issues for
which republican and democratic
knights of the stump will be plumed
during the remaining weeks Of the
present session of congress. On the
trust question the republicans are
going to repeat the record for bold
ness. They first went in swaddling
clothes as TO the gold standard, grad
| ually grew to full stature on that is
sue and announced themselves boldly
for il in plain language. They are
now preparing to do the same to the
trusts. We shall take the aggressive.
Trusts are the legi Ultimate development
of our tremendous energy. We could
not get along without them and our
language in saying this will be as
plain Us 1t is emphatic"
This is a very candid statement,
indeed. The republican party in 1896
advocated bimetalism through inter-
national agreement, and then in 1900
came out boldly for the single gold
standard, or, as this republican news
paper puts it. sit gradually grew to
full stature on that issue"
1t is interesting to be told that
"they are now preparing to do the
same as to trusts"
The correctness Of this prophecy
cannot be doubted. In 1896 the re-
publican party in its national plat
form boldly denounced trusts; in 1900
the platform was silent on that ques-
ton. When Mr.. Roosevelt was vice
president, he referred to trust mag
mates as representatives of cunning"
since he became president, he refers
to them as captains Of industry"
The trend of republican organs and
republican policies are all in the di.
rection of seeking to impress upon
! the people that the trusts have "come
to STAY" that ''we could not get along
without Them" and the success of the
republican party in deceiving the
people in the past has been so pro-
nounced that it will not be at all sur
prising IL republican leaders even go

TRUSTS AND HIGH TARIFF.
Special Classes the Recipients of II e.
publican Favor In That Party's
Legislation.

Democrats may differ on the subject
of expansion and Imperialism, but they
can all unite in the fight against trusts
and high tariff, which has been large
ly instrumental in building up vast
combines of wealth. The democratic
party is party of freedom, says the
Nashville News. 1t believes in equal
rights to all. 1t favors no special class
over any other class. 1t INDUCES in
no legislation that has for its object
the protection Of one class of citizens
over another. The democratic party
believes that the people of this country
have industrial and commercial rights
and that they should have chance to
compete IN the open markets.
The republican party views the qucs-
ton in a very different light. 1t has
always favored special classes, but it's
pet favorites are generally those who
do not need help. 1t increases the
wealth of the rich at the expense of the
poor.
The next great fight that the Amer
ican people will be likely to face is the
fight for commercial and industrial
freedom.

MONEY AND LUXURY.
They Are the Curse of Modern French

Thus spoke NJ Hughes lie Roux, the
celebrated French journalist and critic,
In one of the series of lectures in
French which he is delivering at the
University of Pennsylvania. He be-
lieves that this unnatural love destroys
her domestic happiness. The system of
marrying for money. he says, has
created what is sometimes known as
the third seX," i. e., the woman who
does not want to rear any children.
The result of this system has pro-
duced class of young women who
at thirty are unmarried and likely to
remain so. Several years ago NJ. LIE
Itoux established bureau in Paris for
giving advice to unmarried women
and nearly all of the hundreds of wo-
men who came to him had the same
story to tell. /. e.. that they were well
bred, left school at twenty, attended
the theater opera. balls, etc, postpon-
ing marriage until twenty-five years
old, always expecting to marry, but
not quite deciding to do so. At this
period they invariably began to pity
the innocent young girls who married
and began to assume the cares of their
sex. The men they saw pleased them
less and less. They were unable to
awaken the sentiment of love for them,
and at last they found themselves at
the age of thirty still unmarried-toO
late they saw that marriage is only a
means, not an end

Fs.t.rlns a wom.n-. Heart.


A lady of great talent was left
widow by her late husband. In addi-
ticn to this he left her $4,000 a year.
But there was a condition attached.
A string with a weight fastened to it
dangled behind this goodly sum. II
she married again her income was
cut off-cut off instanter. 1t was hard
1t was very hard. But Love laughs at
restrictions. He laughs at conditions.
What's lucre to the blind boy? Paltry
dross.
So the lady fell in love. Her love
was returned. She accepted the wooer
and the engagement was announced.
What was a paltry $4,000 a year to
this new-found passion?
Foolish husband, thus to fancy that
he had bound the lady for life. Z.
But wait! Hold on. The lady has
reconsidered her sacrifice and will
hang on to her $4,000.
And when you come to think of It,
especially from an experienced point
of view. $4,000 year is a good bit of
money-and there are comparatively
few husbands worth it.
