coURrING In PHILIPPINES
That Are a Surprise to the
Americana.

Justice. weekly paper published
in Manila, prints the following from
an American contributor:
Eve have for year been trying to
make out of what counting by the
Filipinos consists, and are yet not
sure that we know much about it.
I'VE have seen some of it going on
from the streets and the windows of
our neighbors. The other evening,
from nine to ten, a dusky maiden
leaned from the upstairs window and
talked with man of probably Is
years. We do not know how much
love they talked, but the chances are
not much. These people are not
much given to fattery or lovemak-
ing, at least so far as outward ap-
pearance goes.
"a young man and a young woman
never go riding or walking together,
nor do they visit alone together in
their homes. Some member of the
family is always present, and the
conversation is general. After the
engagement is announced the intend
ed seems to go to see the to-be bride
as often as he chooses. We know q
couple; the man is widower OF
said that the man is well-to-do, and
the senorita is fairly. good-looking.
The man has boy about seven years
old, and it is not infrequent for the
father to take the boy with him when
he goes to see his sweetheart, which
is fully four times week. They are
to be married soon.
''The girls are not backward about
al - - e
their family or friends. And they
can talk, too-about everything they
know about.
''There is little or no hugging or
kissing, and absolutely none in the
Differentiated class before mar
riage, and, SO far as we know, but
little after. We do not remember of
seeing a man and woman kiss during
our stay in these islands. It is not
lack of kindly regard, but not the
custom.
1.-The way the houses are built, the
open windows, projecting over the
street, make it very convenient for
the lover to stand upon the sidewalk
and spark" his best irl.
'It is our opinion that, to marked
degree, the girls belonging to the
families of the better class are vir-
tuous when they give their hands in
holy wedlock.
Among the lower classes, parents
and friends are not strict, and we be-
ieve very many live together through
life and never marry. The lewd class
will take up and live with Americans,
but there is no question but they
prefer their own people.
''There is more virtue among the
lower classes than a newcomer would
be led to believe by listening to
street talk.
eve have heard a number of Fill
pino young ladies who can speak
English wish the American customs
would come into vogue here, but we
are not sure that it would have a
good moral effect upon society gen
erally.'

The TRUSTS SHARE.
Republican Campaign Book FaIsifes
Facts Concerning the Capital
fstic Combines.

Under this title the republican man
ayers in their 1902 campaign book at
tempt to beiittle the trust question
They say:
The trusts have not occupied as
great a place in the manufacturing
industries as they have in public dis
cussion. According to the returns of
the census for 1900, the value of trust
made articles was only 1913 per cent.
of the total output of the manufacture
ing esta blishments in that year. The
value of the total output of all manu-
featuring establishments in the CEN
sus year was SIS, OO4, 400. 143. while the
value of the output of the trusts was
81. 667 $50, 941, or 1913 per cent. of the
whole.
The list contains 1873 corpora
''The largest of these was the United
States Steel corporation. with 81 ,005,
331.740 capital stock and bonds"
None of these statements are true.
Some are absolutely false, others are
half or quarter truths. AS usual, the
latter are the meaner lies to deal
with.
The campaign bookmaker is mis-
taken when he says the United States
Steel corporation is included in the list.

TARIFF MUST COME DOWN.
1t Is the Mother of Trusts and the
American People VIII Not
Submit to 1t.
"The tariff will not down.

''The tariff will not down.
mo matter how hard the repub-
Iican leaders try to keep it down,
the tariff continues to force it's way
to the top.
1.-The official republican campaign
text book, by ignoring the tariff in
effect, issues orders to the party's
orators and editors to keep silent on
the subject. Nevertheless there is
an unmistakable demand among the
republicans of the middle west for
tariff legislation. The Iowa plat
FORMS declaration in favor of such
remodeling of the schedules as shall
deprive monopoly of protective shell
ter is significant response to this
demand.
1.-The conviction is spreading that
the tariff is the mother of trusts.
cit is the tariff that enables the
industrial monopolies to perpetrate
the swindle of selling goods cheap
er to foreigners than to Americans.
SIT is the tariff which shields the
food trust from competition, and
thus enables it to charge what it
pleases for meat.
SIT is the tariff which enables the
shoddy trust to make counterfeit
cloth, and so defraud the poor when
ever they buy a cheap" garment,
carpet or blanket.
Tariff revision must come.

submit to being permanently gov
erned and robbed by the trusts

THE OLD PLANTATION BELL.
Relic of Southern Days Before the
War Located in a Northern
Junk Shop.

"Old bells always interest me-" re-
marked a man who had lounged into
a junk-shop to see if he couldn't find
the old brass candle-sticks his wife
was always talking about, relates the
Detroit Free Press. Where did that
old farm-bell come from?'
The junk-dealer smiled little, and
said: THAT old farm-bell has quite
a history. 1t was brought from way
down south, after the civil war, by
colored man, Old Jack, everybody
calls him. He cuts grass around town,
saws wood and does other odd jobs.
The old bell, he says, was on the
plantation to which he belonged with
SIS other slaves, and when the family
broke up his old master asked him
what he would like to have as keep
sake from the old home. He chose
the farm-bell-it is hard iron, you
see, and has a good, old-fashioned
country ring to it.
''Old Jack says he brought the bell
up north all the way in push-cart,
with his other traps, but I don't know
about that. At any rate, for many
years he has lent the plantation bell
to little back-street church in which
he was prime mover. The little
church hadn't any steeple, but Old
Jack rugged the bell up on frame
behind the church, and rang it faith
fully on Sunday, twice day. and on
weekdays when they had meetings.
He wouldn't trust anybody else to
ring that bell. No, sir, he thought too
much of it for that.
swell, the other day he brought it
here on his push-cart and asked me to
buy it for one dollar. He said his
churchfolk had built a new church,
with big steeple, and, had got so
stylish that they didn't want the old
bell any more, they made fun of it,
and said it didn't sound like church
bell, anyway, it sounded like an old
wayback tavern dinner bell. Old Jack
wept at parting with it, but he said
it made him feel badly to look at it
now, and he hoped it would be sold off
into the country, where it could ring
ON farm again. gave him the dol
lar-and quarter for luck-and prom
ised him wouldn't sell it except to
farmer. You don't know one who
needs bell, do you?'
ssI'll take Old Jacks bell" said the
listener; we've got a small place in
the country, and my wife will be tic
kled to death to have real oldtime
plantation bell to ring at dinner time"

states that the steel corporation was
formed after the census year and was
not included in the list of 1873 trusts.
This writer must have had this CEN
sus bulletin before him when he was
copying figures and statements from
it. The most conspicuous matter on
page 2 relates to the great steel cor
poration and the reasons why the re-
turns from it were not included in the
trust tables. The writer evidently
wanted to make as good case as pos
sible, and decided to deliberately fall
sify statements to make it easy for
republican speakers and writer's to de-
ceive the people. Hence he stated that
the steel trust, whose capital was one
third of all, was included in the list.
Of course he expected republican
speakers to tell the people that out
side of this steel trust. the total out
put in trust combinations was only
So OOO, 900, 900, and that the trust ques-
ton was being greatly exaggerated
by the wicked democrats. Hundreds
of spellbinders will undoubtedly use
his figures.
The campaign book treats this list
of 1873 trusts as if it were complete
list and embraced all the trusts in the
country. 1t is far from complete. 1t
does not, for example, include any of
the scores of gas and electric light
combinations, although the value of
their products forms a large part of
the $4,000. 100000 of total manufac-
lures. the value of gas alone being $75,-
1868.
How very incomplete this trust list
is. is evident from the fact that as
far back as 1899 the Journal of Com
merce and Commercial Bulletin Year
Book of New York contained list of
AS trusts Including wellknown price
fixing agreements and a few projected
and chartered trusts, with a total
apitalization. issued and estimated.
of $7,41S, 235,342. Surely the writer
had heard of these year book lists.
Why did he ignore them, unless with
intent to deceive? The list print
ed in the appendix of this years's
(democratic) book contains 2s5
incorporated trusts with an issued
capital of 3.4SS.s51. 1t is pre-
pared by Mr.. John Moody, the great
est expert on industrial securities,
etc, in this country.
Again, the census list contains none
of the hundreds of unincorporated
trusts, price-fXing agreements, asso-
Citations. pools, etc. which census
bulletin No. 1872 tells us "are often more
