WALKING THROUGH FIRE.

Lava Streams In the Crater of kilaues
in Hawaii.
Compared with the volcano es in thu
Hawaiian Islands, those in the Yves,
Indies are larger, and exhibit the phe
nomena Of nature on a grander scale
The cone of Kilauea, in Hawaii, holds
q lake Of melted rock. the outlets OF
which are rivers of lava which gleanl
like molten silver In ''Fire Mountains

her descent into the outer crater.
We took a circuitous route to avoid
the fiery breath Of the sulphur cracks.
Some of the cones are dome-shaped;
others are more open, like witches cal.
drons, and curiosity compelled me to
snatch glimpse of the fiery broth
within, although I knew that such
stolen peeps were dangerous, as at any
moment the wrathful spirits might
drive away the intruder with shower
of molten rock.
So numerous were the streams which
intersected the bed of the crater on

guide to keep ceaseless watch to guard
against the possibility of our retreat
being cut off.
We took our stand on an elevated
hummock of lava, and were thus raised
to the level Of the lake, which had very
caprlciously selected the highest por-
ton of the crater, so that all the rivers
flowed down over the steep baak.
DR.. COan told me he had seen lava
flowing at the rate Of forty miles an
hour, rushing downhill through forests
on its seaward way. l confess l watch
ed this small. comparatively safe river
with some trepidatiOn.
So rapidly does lava cool that when
we had gained sufficient confidence to
follow our experienced guide, we were
able to walk across many Of the
streams which only few hours before
had been liquid fire. We were walking
on q cool crust As the streams Of red
fluid rock met the air they seemed to
become coated over with thin, gleam-
ing. silvery film, like that which forms
on molten metal. 1t was gruesome to
think what would befall us il the thin
crust gave way beneath us. But re-
flected that for love of wife and child
our guide doubtless counted his own
life precious, and so would not lead us
into real danger.
1t Is strange how quickly one gets
accustomed TO new circumstances.
When luncheon time came it seemed
most natural to sit on the brink of
fire river, on a hummock of lava. and
enjoy our sandwiches while we watch
ed the heaving, rushing lava roll and
break into half-coOled cakes, to be swal-
lowed and melted afresh in the fire
stream which flowed within ten feet
Of us.

Mr.. Hoar and His Party.

From the general tone Of Republi.
can comment upon Senator Hoar's anti
trust bill it is pretty safe to predict that
the Massachusetts sage will be about
as successful in his war against the
trusts as he was in his attack upon i'm
perialism.

venerates Mr.. Hoar only so long as he
keeps his hands off the various forms
of favoritism which that Organiza ton

hattie for Free CcaL.

| The battle for free coal is now raging
in Congress. 1t is Il very unequal fight
for the majority party have all the
avenues of legislation blocked against
any bill that the prOtectiOnist Oligarchy
that rules the Republican party do not
| want TO have enacted into law. 1t is
impossible to have a bill reported from
the principal committees in the House
of Representatives unless the leaders
order it, and as they have determined
to stand pat" which means that no
tariff legislation will be considered,
even the duties on coal and beef will
continue to be exacted from the Amer
lean people.
Senator Vest. however, has been
forcing the hands of the Senate lead
ers by his resolution ordering the FL
nance Committee of that body to re-
port bill for free anthracite coal. In
his speech he exposed the whole in
iquity of the addition to the Dingley
bill of the duty on anthracite coal. and
the Republican members of the Senate
are on the defensive. trusting to long
winded speeches to use up the time un-
til the appropriation bills come from
the House and occupy the remainder
of the session.
In the meantime coal is being ad-
vanced in price by the trust to I'M
heard Of figures, the tide water price
now being $1,000, which. with the fer
riage and wharfage charges. will make
it cost the dealers $12. The retail price
in New York is from $14 to $50. ac-
cording to quality and quantity This
price is almost or entirely prohibitive
strike would hardly have been more
disastrous. With the coal famine in
progress the coal barons are reaping
a great harvest and will more than re-
cuperate their losses during the strike.
Why does not the dominant party
in Congress take off the duty on coal
at once and allow foreign coal to come
in and compete and thus help to relieve
the situation? The answer to this
question is an extraordinary one. 1t is,
fear of the Democrats. Fear that. If
free coal bill is reported. the wicked
minority will propose an amendment
for free beef, or free barb wire or 9th
er trust product. The Republicans
know that a vote on these amendments
would disclose a division in their party
ranks and perhaps enough Of the Re-
publicans voting with the Democrats
for some of the amendments to pass
them. There are few members of the
House of Representatives who desire
the free list extended to number of
articles and there are others whose con-
stituents are so decidedly in favor of
free trust products that it would be
political suicide for their representa-
tives to vote nay on such propositions.
Meanwhile everyone is being held up
by the coal barons and the distress and
suffering amongst the poor is almost
beyond belief.
The trust certainly has a firm grasp |
on this Republican administration.
How long will the people continue to
support the ''stand pat" program? And
will they forget when kindly nature |
next spring relieves them of the need
of one of their great necessities?

way to Get at the Trusts.

THE first step in an honest effort to
correct the trust evils from which
we suffer-" says Senator Vest. is to
remove the protection the tariff gives
to monopoly and force 1t into world
competition"
That is just plain good sense.
Tariff duties are levied to protect
petition by raising the price of i'm
ported articles to the consumer.
But when the domestic producer
proves that he does not need 10 be
protected against the foreigner by 60
ing into the foreigners own home mar
ket and underselling him there, why
should the tariff duties be allowed to
remain?
The protectionist can give no honest
answer to that question.
1t is grotesQue to say that an Amer
lean trust which sells its good cheaper
in England that it does here requires
protection against the competition of
English manufacturers.
The only effect of retaining the tar
iff duties in such cases is to empower
the favored trust to rob the American
people.
The Borax Trust furnishes one of
many examples of how the Dingley
tariff works. There is a duty of )
cents a pound on bOrax. American
boraX sells in England for 2i1a cents a
pound, in the United States for ~
cents. That is to say, the duty of )
cents is added to the price whenever
an American buys pound of borax.
This is a bald swindle, yet is prac-
ticed by all the great trusts which
have high prices for the home con-
sumner and low prices for the for
eigner.
Not all our monopolies are created
by the tariff, but most of them are
1t needs only vote of Congress to
destroy these mOnOpolies, but that vote
will not be given SO long as the Re
publican party remains in power. All
its influential leaders. from President
Roosevelt down, refuse to admit that
there is any relation between the
trusts and the tariff. To admit the
truth would be, of course. to confess
the need of tariff revision. and very
naturally the tariff-protected trusts

In the Republican party there are n

Free trade is q "fOssiliZed heresy'
and an Egyptian mummy" is it? 1t
never was more animated than now.
Not for years has there been as much
free trade-not tariff reform. but radi-
cal free trade-talk. both In and out
of Washington, as during the past
four months. Hundreds of newspapers
are demanding that coal, beef, steel,
hides and numerous other trust prod
ucts, be put on the free list. A free
trade mass meeting was held in Fan
ueil Hall. Boston. on Dec. 30. A
great audience yelled itself hoarse for
free trade in coal. beef and other ar
ticles
The tariff tax now has more enemies
in Boston than the tea tax had when
Boston's famous "tea party" was in
session. So lively is this free trade
mummy that it has aroused the Re
publican party from its Rip Van Win
kle slumber. Speaker Henderson got
frightened and fed when he saw this
''fossilized heresy" approaching under
the banner Iowa idea" Babcock and

If President Roosevelt had thought
that free trade was mummy, instead

Boss Hanna has nominated his

want the party to hold an old-fash-
