THE TRUSTS

wholesale price Of coal at tide water,

am going to advance the price 10

said: 81 fixed the price and COM
PEELED the other dealers to do the

more for coal next year than they did
last.

ON THE ROAD TO RUIN

II ever country was on the road to
ruin, that country is England. Sta
tistics just published show that the
drink bill of England in 1902
amounted to- the appalling sum of
1896, 900, 900, or an average of about
$25 per capita.
The money England spends annual
ly for drink is far in excess of the an
nual expenditure for all government
purposes or for ali the rents for ali
the houses and farms, or for all re-
ligious, educational and philanthropic
objects combired, or for the purchase
of more than any one kind of food CT
clothing considered to be articles of
absolute necessity.
There is no show at all for rem
edial legislation. The tory party has
filed the upper house with brewers,
who have been made peers on account
of their enormous donations to the
campaign fund of the tory party. There
they sit and will put d veto upon any
bill passed by the house that has
tendency to curtail the quantity Of IL
quor consumed in the United King
dom. The tory party in England is
kept in power in the same way that
the republican party is in this coun-
try, namely, by the collection and ex-
penditure of an enormous corruption

THE PEOPLES PARTY

There is much said about the in

especially in the plutocratic papers.
That there are such laws over which
parliaments and legislative bodies
have no control is certain. But when
one comes to examine them it is found
that they all relate to production of
wealth. When we come to the distri-
button of wealth we enter another
field. The production Of wealth is gov
erned by physical laws which no man

The price o: silver continues to ad-

factors in the rise has just been dis
covered The Rothschilds are inter-
ested in the United Metals Selling
company and the Guggenheim smelt-
ing syndicate, owning a very large, II
not a controlling interest in both
those companies. The two companies
control about all the uncoined silver
in the world. When it was for the in
terest of the House Of Rothschilds to
depress the price of silver, every mu,-
let head in the United States was
shouting Down with silver" Now
that the House of Rothschilds is in
terested on the other side of the mar
ket, they all rejoice that the price Of
silver goes up OF such stuff is the
American mullet head made.
The truth about the matter is that
some six months ago the Rothschilds
and others of that ilk having found
out that they could not work their
gold standard idea without the de-
struction of the Asiatic trade, conclud-
ed to change their policy and their
obedient ser wants on this side of the
water were quick to obey orders. Con-
gress reversed itself and appointed a

Every man will naturally inquire
what is being done in opposition to
the extortions of the coal, beef and
other trusts. Many hundred thou
sand wage workers are out on strikes,
trying to force employers to raise
wages to a point that will equalize
this arbitrary advance in prices. The
National Live Stock association has
started movement to build string
of slaughter houses from Denver to
Chicago and $25,000,000 have been
subscribed for that purpose. The
stock men claim that the price of
meat is out of proportion to the price
which the trust pays for cattle, hogs
and sheep.
The Independent must say that t
has little faith that the efforts of eth
er the wageWOrkers or the stockmen
will amount to anything in fightin,:
the trusts. The only way to fight the
trusts effectively is to elect a presi-
dent and congress opposed to the d.
struction Of competition, that will en-
force the laws, both criminal and
civil, that are now on the statute
books and if more legislation is need
ed to suppress the trusts, speedily en-
act it. That is what The Independent
has been saying for ten years. l.
will not be long before the masses of
the people will be forced by self
preservation to take such action. In
that day the trust magnates will be
calling on the rocks and hills to fall
upon them and hide them from the
wrath of the people.

According to Professor Hobson, the
great English sociologist. the trouble
with Great Britain comes from the
same sources of evil and degeneration
to which The Independent has been
calling attention in almost every is
sue. lie says that the reasons of Eng
llsh decline are the low standard of
life so widely prevailing, the decline
OF agriculture, the enormous consump-
tlon OF drink, and the demoralizing
influence of the gambling habit. For
example, owing to a bad land system.
the peasantry of some parts of Eng
land are pronounced, if not the poor
est, at least the most degraded in the
world, and of the 70 per cent of the
population who now live under city

GEN. MILES, REPORT

The demand that the report Of Cen
eral Miles on the Philippines should
be given to the public became so uni
versal that the war department was
forced to heed it, but only part of it
was given out. II has created furor
from one end of the country to the
other. Replies had been prepared be
forehand by the government which
were sent out with it, so as to lessel
as far as possible its effect. General
Miles says:
II do not think there is today
people SO sorely afflicted as the
I. 100000 of inhabitants of this
tPhilippine) archipelago. Their
country has been devastated by
war. In some places locnsts have
destroyed the crops. Pestilence
has prevailed resulting in the re-
ported death of nearly $4,000 peo-
pie, while It is estimated that the
number not reported is fully as
large"
The general tells how the people
everywhere appealed to him and how
he issued an order to the commanding
further cruelties. The general gives
names, dates and places where bar
barities had Teen practiced upon. the

tion forced into reconcentrado camps.

where many died from suffocatiOn and
other things of like nature.
General Davis, judge advocate gem
eral, in the reply prepared and given
to the public along with General
Miles report, does not deny the
charges, but lays all the blame on the
volunteers. General Davis says that
investigation have been made in
these cases, but they are especially
difficult because the incidents COM
planned of were not made known at
the time, AMI officers and soldiers Of
the volunteer army who have been
named have Leen discharged.
General Miles directs attention to
the acts of RECOMMENDATION by Genera;
Bell, and claims that they were in
direct violation of the law. He says
the law was also violated in handling
and buying large quantities of rice,

camp were, says General Miles, "con-
sidered prisoners of war, but were
compelled to buy food from those
who held them at a large profit.
General Miles characterizes this as
unprecedented. He speaks of the
magnitude of the transaction, which
involved 21,090,0O0 pounds of rice and
other supplies at cost Of $306, 500. He
says that IAN extraordinary feature Of
this transaction" is that the action
was disapproved by a division COM
mander, who assumed command, and
who turned the matter over to the
civil authorities.

travellers were passing by the monastery
one day while he was playing and they
were attracted by the wonderful music
they heard, which placed them spell
bound. They fell to their knees and
could not arise until he got through
playing. The monks noticed them and
took them to the monastery which had
an orchestra of fifty pieces and each one

they had heard and of the wonderful
