How Do They DO It9

The Fifth Avenue bank Of New York
has just declared an extra dividend of
120 per cent in addition to the regular
quarterly dividend Of % per cent. Two
years ago the bank declared an extra
dividend of 100 per cent and has been
disbursing regular dividends of 100 per
cent regularly for several years past.
The officials of this bank are evidently
honest, and it is the stockholders who
are the grafters from the customers.
But how can the customers stand it?
Adding half Of the extra dividend
namely, 60 per cent-to the regular div
idend of 100 per cen makes 100 per
cent per annum or 1919 per cent per
month. If well managed banks pay
like this. what inducement can bankers
have for speculation and frenzied
finance? And what profits their custom,
ers must make to be able to pay this
enormous interest!

RAILROADS in POLITICS
Power of Their Lobby In National
and state LeKisIntion.

anu STATE LeRfAlnt1On.
There Is probably no state In the
Union that is not plagued with the
railroads mixing in politics for selfish
ends. No legislature meets but a rail
road lobby is on hand to further rail
road interests and defeat the will OF
the people. Railroad lobbyists swarm
at the national capital, and the legisla-
ton passed or defeated by congress
shows the tremendous power Of the
railroad lobby. More evidence of the
political corruption caused by the rail-
roads has been exposed during the
past year or two than ever before.
Governor La Toilette, the honest and
able servant of the people Of Wiscon-
sin, has fully exposed the railroad
monopolists in his state and has been
instrumental in clearing the capitol Of
their hirelings.
A Republican paper, the Lincoln
(Neb) News, gives evidence of the
pernicious activity Of the railroads in
that state when it says:
The announcement tha the Union Pa
cifc is in politics tSor the purpose of pro-
tecting itself from the Burlington is ar
other of the plausible explanations
vouchsafed for the activity of John n.
Baldwin and his trusted agents. The
contention is set up that 1t is necessary
to take an interest in politics 20 keep the
Burlington from forcing up the assessment
to the detriment of the Hartman road.
This fact goes to prove c~onclusively that
the railways are perniciously active in
politics. If they are able to dictate the
assessment one way, they unquestionably
have the power to say what shall be done
in other directions.
Evidence like this Is available from
many Of the states, and the question
is how long the people will stand tc
see the railroads assessed at one-hal1
their value while paying large divi.
dends and charging unreasonable rates
In many instances.
If congress will pass the necessary
law to give the interstate commerce
commission power to substitute rea
sonable rates when railroad charges
are shown to be excessive, the frs
great battle against those giant com
blnes will have been accomplished. L
Is almost useless to attempt to contro
the railroads doing an interstate bust
ness by state legislation, but the fed
eral government has the power ant
must use it to protect the people.

Stump Tax For Deficit.

Shaw. He said: II have come to the

will be to impose the Spanish var ev-
enue taxes on numerous articles, espe-
cially the stamp taxes, where the taxa
ton is barely felt by the masses OF the
people. " " " / have not gone into the

MR.. SHAW'S
1t Proves to Be Nothing More Than a
Last Years Birds Nest.

Last Years Birds Nest.
Secretary Shaw has just discovered
that to increase our trade with South
America we should make our goods
to conform to the tastes and the whims
Of those people. That idea has been
exploited in and out Of congress ever
since the tariff has been discussed.
Protectionists and free traders have
always been in accord on that palpa-
bly, plain proposition. If Secretary
Shaw should delve a little deeper into
his study of trade relations with for
eign countries he will find there are
other obstacles Of even greater i'm
portance than not offering goods that
customers are used to buying. The
greatest Of these obstacles to trade be-
tween us and foreign countries is the
protection wall that the Republican
party has created around this country
that will not allow reciprocal trade
between us and them. With the ex-
ception of Brazil, Of which we are
obliged to buy our coffee, because it
is the cheapest and best we can get
for what it costs us, and some wool
and hides from Argentina, there is but
little else raised there but what we
also have a surplus to dispose Of.
Europe. on the other hand, offers a
market for all the products of those
countries and for the products of the
temperate zone, and we are competi-
tors in the same European markets.
Argentina cannot send her wheat here.
because we have more than we want
already. and she would find a barrier
Of % cents a bushel, which Mr.. Shaw
and his Republican brethren have
raised against dealing with her. We
tax her hides and her wool almost to
the point of exclusion. and yet we Won
der that her merchants do not trade
with rs.
II New York could impose a pro
tcctive tariff against the products of
Iowa. would Mr.. Shaw and his stand
pat friends in that state buy anything
of New Yo"k they could get elsewhere
or do Without? Trade, like water. will
not run uphill; it seeks the line Of least
resistance. and that has been and al
ways will be the law that governs com
mercr between nations.

UNCLE SAM BUYING ABROAD
Eight Ships Purchased In China For
the Hhilippines.

Eight Ships Purchased In China For
the philippines.
1t will surprise a good many old
fashioned Republicans to know that
under our protective tariff system even
he Chinese can beat us building ships.
And what will cause greater surprise
is the fact that this government CON
tracted with the Whampoa Shipbuild-
ing company, whose yards are about
twelve miles from Canton, China, to
construct eight ships for service in the
insular possessions Of the United
States in the orient. During the past
year these eight vessels have been
launched and delivered at Manila. In
reporting this news the Washington
Post says:
The eight boats launched we're 1GO feet
long, Of 1000 horsepower, and their con-
tracts called for a speed Of twelve knots
an hour. Some of them developed a
speed Of oE.e-sixth Of a knot better than
this over their trial courses. They cost
the government in no case less than
So, 900 each.
Although Chinese help is used at Wham-
poa wherever available, it is said that
the ships could be constructed here at
the same cost.
Captain Harry Strue, formerly of the
United States transport Hancock, super
vised the building of these ships and saw
that they we're delivered at Manila. He
was acting under Commander James
Helm. captain of the port of Manila. 1t
is said that nothing concerning the
launching Of these vessels appeared in the
Canton newspapers because a request had
bean made to refrain from making any
thing public about the American ships at
the Whampoa yards.
1t can hardly be possible that, as the
Post says. the ships could have been
contracted for. here at the same cost.
for to give his large contract to q for
eign firm and thus deprive our ship
yards and workmen Of the profit and
work is not %believable unless the price
was less.
1t is we'll known that the shipbuild-
ing trust and the steel trust have for
years held up Uncle Sam for building
ships and plate, and if the price
asked for the building Of these eight
ships was unreasonable the admins,
tration did perfectly right in going
elsewhere. But why the secrecy? Why
not be open and aboveboard in the
matter? Did our Republican officials
fear the trusts or the people?
