two or three men who held that no
good could come to the world outside
of the democratic party. The only
thing to do Is to drive ahead until it is
made plain that the democratic party
can never again carry northern state

have left it forever. Perhaps by tina.

to drop the Wall street end of the

Wall Stree Wealth

The unreality Of much Of the sup
posed wealth of this country must have
impressed itself upon thinking men
in this country during the last week.
The usual way of computing wealth,
is taking an account OF this worlds
goods. But in these modern times OF
frenzied finance that way of looking
at it is all out of date. Within fifteen
minutes after the stock exchange
opened, $50, 100000 of the wealth of the
owners of steel stock vanished. That

Lot Us Be Thankful

The order of the presiden.. to exclude
the reporters of the Eoston Herald
from the departments and the order Of
the agricultural department to refuse
it the weather reports, is the cause OF
great deal of comment both in this
country and Europe. Sometimes Won
der is expressed that the kaiser did
not send Roosevelt a congratulatory
note on his advance in imperialism.
The Philadelphia Ledger is inclined to
think that it is all {. mistake. 1t says:
If reporter was guilty of the base
ness and meanness Of telling deliberate
lies about the presidents family, we
hope the heads of departments, Mr..
Loeb and the president will have moth
ing to do with him; but we think some
asinine personages in the washington
departments have exceeded letter and
spirit of their instructions, and that a
mistake has been made in drawing UP
the instructions. The president would
probably be the very first to admit that
the departments at Washington are
not his own personal property, and
that the information disseminated by
them, being paid for by all the people,
could not be properly withheld or di-
rected into certain channels, at the
within even of the president. on ac-
count of silly story or even sense
less affront to his family, which is
largely a personal matter.
The Independent wonders what
would have happened to that reporter,
if instead of saying the presidents boy
had pulled the feathers out of live
turkeys tail, he had said that the
young Teddy had tied a tin can to a
dogs tail filled with fire crackers and
then set the crackers off. Would the
president have ordered the reporter
shot and the newspaper bombarded
with twelve inch gun? The whole
thing is in perfect accord with the i'm
pulsive character of Roosevelt. 1t he
does not do something like it when a
foreign nation is concerned. we may
all be thankful. n

How They Rob

Recent statistics show that the in
crease in freight rates during the last
three years is over $500, 100000 in ex-
cess of what there would have been
at the rates previously charged, the
increase in the year ending June 80,
1903, alone having been over $155, 00O,-
600. That so large an advance was UNI
necessary and unwarfanted is appar-
ent from the fact that the net earnings
for the three years showed an increase
of over $153 100000 with only slight
increase in mileage. The increase re-
sulting from advances iE rates on a
few leading commodities. is what is
termed official classification territory"
alone, for the last year Oh the period
mentioned is given as follows: Hay,
nearly $2,500,000; iron and steel, about
$4,000,000; bituminous coal, over $1O,-
100000; and lumber, about $6,000,00O
BY the simple plan Of changing the
classification of sugar, the people were
made to pay last year $2,OOO,OOO in
excess of what they paid the year be-
fore on the same article. The same
increase in freight rates was secured
hy changing the classification on
SOAP starch and coffee, and an adj
vance of IA per- cent on cotton piece
goods was made in the same way.

Paid For Editorials

1t seems that the English press Is
just as venal and corrupt as the great
dailies of the United States John M.
Johnson, writing in the New Age says.
in speaking Of the demand in the Eng
lish press for the overthrow of the
Boer republics: st9
That propaganda was engineered and
paid for; every lie was. bought and
sold, like the pen that wrote it; and
a large financial interest was known
to be actively involved. ~ tf5
That is the way things are done in
the United States for plutocracy is the
same everywhere. 1t was the press Of
the United States, where every line Of
the editorials We're bought and paid for
that has made the trusts possible and
the railroads to water their stock time
and again. 1t is the paid for editorials
that have prevented the criminal prose-
cution of the trust managers and the
railroad officials who have been giving
rebates. 1t was the paid for editorials
that forced upon us financial sys-
tenn that has resulted in the greatest
accumulation of wealth in few hands
that has ever occurred in all history
and which will end in one of the worst
disasters that ever afflicted mankind.
The villainy of it all is unspeakable.
Yet it goes on day after day. Where
is the daily paper today that will print
the facts about the steel trust, the har-
vester trust or any other swindling
concern that has money 10 pay for edi-
torial writing?

was worth $4,000, 900 less than It was
a few minutes before. All of the ma
chinery, mills and iron mines In the
United States Steel company were still
in existence. Not thing had been al
tered or destroyed. Now what kind Of
wealth was it that disappeared in those
few minutes? Is not it much less SUBJ
stantial than the shadow of d ghost?
Will it not be well for the people 70
stop moment and reflect? Is not the
prosperity Of which so much boast
ing is done, very unsubstantial ana
shadowy thing? What kind Of an In
fluence has been brought to overthrow
the reason Of mankind that they be-
lieve such thing as that Is wealth.
Does not the whole financial world
border On insanity?
What happened to steel, happened to
Amalgamated copper, to railroads and
.othes industries, so that when We sum
ii all up in that fifteen minutes tho
people of the United States became
several hundred million dollars poor
er. But were they? Did they not have
just as much of this worlds goods as
they had before? Think of it. Is not
this whole system of watered stocks
and bank credits only 8 scheme Of
swindlers to transfer wealth from ono
set of men to another without giving
anything of value in return? Has the
whole world gone crazy? One day, not
in the distant future, the people may
be driven back to reason by caIam-
ity such as was never known before.

Shadows of Shnsta

The Arena of this month has re-
view of the life and poetry of Joaquin
Miller, the poet of the Sieras, who now
dwells on the heights Of mountain
in little log cabin where he can de-
light his soul in communion with ma
|ture. Among the specimens OF his
poetry are the stanzas on Peter Cooper,
the founder of the populist party. Two
of them are as follows:

Better, wiser. by far.
Aye. wisest is he in this whole wide
land
Of boarding till bent and gray;
For all you can hold in your cold, dead
hand
Is what you lave given away.
In 1880, when Bright Eyes was max
ing her brave fight for he people, by
giving them "a government of law IN
place of a government by man." as
she always stated it, Joaquin Miller
called upon her at the Fifth Avenue
hotel in New York several times. On
going away the last time he said:
ASK anything of me and will do 1T
to aid you" The brilliant eyes of the
Indian maiden sparkled, that smile
came over her face that captured al
ways all who came under her influence,
and she replied: joaquin, write a
book" Il will do it, he replied. That
was the last she ever saw of Joaquin
Miller, but year afterward she re-
ceived the book. Joaquin had kept his
word. The title of the book was, "The
Shadows of Shasta"
