The Captured Battle Flags.

Carefully stored away in the SUBJ
basement of the War department are
the battle flags that were carried by
Northern and Southern troops during
the Civil War. They are badly torn
and tattered and some of them bear
dark. gloomy-looking stains. The
passing years and long exposure have
dimmed the letters on some of the en-
blems, so that it is difficult to identify
them.
These are the battle flags which
Congress directed, at the recent ses-
sion, should be returned to the mill
tary organizations that originally
owned them. They have been in the
custody of the government ever since
the surrender of Gen. Lee The col
lection includes about 100 Union flags,
which the Confederates captured.
The great bulk of them, however, are
Confederate flags Gen. Ainsworth,
the military secretary, has been
charged with the duty of restoring the
flags to their former owners. He has

eminent and asking where they shall

We read in the columns of our ven
cradle contemporary, the New York
Evening Post:
THE most rapid gain in general
business, according to trustworthy
trade authorities, has been experience
ed since March 1, and unless some
thing happens to check the activity
the month will roll up records that
will surpass all previous exhibits for
that period.
This is substantially correct. The
boom commenced with the conviction
that there would be no tariff revision.
The same newspaper speaks, in an
other column, of 1.-The great" trade
boom begun in 1897 Both the pres
ent and the past booms were and are
due to a commercial confidence in
the nearby future. What the man
who destroys this commercial conf
dence, throwing thousands of wage
earners out of income, expects to get
for his injury to this country we can
not imagine.

Plan to Honor Brave Sailor.

Representative Morrill, of Pennsyl-
van1a has introduced bill in Con-
gresS for the erection Of bronze
monument in the city of Washington
to the memory of Rear Admiral
Charles Stewart, who was for seven
ty-one years in the United States
navy, a longer service than has ever
before been recorded. Rear Admiral
Stewards career shows that real life
at times presents more strenuous in
cldents than the Imagination ever
dared to picture. He was commits
stoned lieutenant in 1898. His first
command was the schooner Expert
ment, with which he captured the
schooner Deux Amis in 1900. Soon
afterward he was chased by two
French schooners. He captured one
OF them, the Diane, and then captured
privateer, the Laura Bridget. Lieu
tenant Stewart was in the first brush
with Tripolitan boats, having gone to
the Mediterranean under Captain Muir
ray, who was in command of the Con-
stellat1on. Later he commanded the
brig Siren and conveyed the party in
the ketch Intrepid that destroyed the
Philadelphia. He rendered gallant
service throughout the war in the
Mediterranean, and as a naval captain
he performed many daring feats on
the sea during the war of 1872 AS
commander of the Constitution he
captured the Picou and other vessels
in 1914. On Feb. Is, 1915, after a gal
liant fight. he captured the Cyane and
the Levant. but was chased by a
squadron and lost the Levant A gold
medal and the thanks of Congress
were given him. In 1924 he COM
manded the Pacific squadron, and up
on his return home he was tried on
alleged Irregularities, but was acquit-
ted. In 1852 he became the senior Of
f1cer of the navy, being promoted to
Rear Admiral July 16, 1862. He died
Nov. 6, 1862 He was the grandfather
of Charles Stewart Parnell.

SHARE OF THE TRUST
A RATHER SMALL PROPORTION
OF OUR INCREASED WEALTH.
Out of the Average Annual Increase
of Wealth Amounting to $3.4oo. 6oo,-
600, the Portion of the Trusts Is
Only About One-Fourteenth of the
Whole.

1t is the habit of tariff reformers,
Republican and Democratic alike, to
lay much stress upon the assertion
that the great bulk of domestic prod
uction is monopolized by trusts, and
that the proportion borne by nontrust
concerns is so small that it is proper
to ignore them altogether in estimat-
ing the effect of tariff reduction as a
trust remedy. That this is gross
and palpable error is well demon
strated in an editorial in the New
York Times dealing with the follow
ing statement in Tom Watson's Popu-
list magazine:
ALREADY you can count upon the
fingers of one hand the trusts that an
nually absorb more than one-half of
the entire increase in wealth.
The fact that the Times is an
enemy to protection adds interest and
value to its examination and analysis
of this rash statement. Certainly the
Times cannot be accused of an inten-
ton to soften or modify the free trade
verdict that the tariff. is the mother
of trusts" What the Times aims to
do is to get at the real facts as to the
share which the trusts have in the in
dustrial output of the country. 1t
finds that according to the figures of
the twelfth census there were in the
year 1900 1876 industrial combinations
controlling 2,216 plants. These 1S5
combinations or trusts paid out in
wages for materials and miscellane
GUS expenses s1,436. 947,O14. The value
of the product they turned out was
$1.667, $50, $40. If We assume that
these trusts sold their entire product
at the census valuation. the difference
between their income and their outgo
for the year 1900 was $3.50. 400 935,
which is equal to a little more than
z per cent on their entire capital, in
Guiding bonds and common and pre-
ferred stock, amounting in the aggre-
gate to $3,O93. O95. 1888. The census
figures afford no basis for computing

Notwithstanding the prosperity
which our country has enjoyed under
a protective tariff, Democratic organs
are laboring to make the people be-
lieve that they are impoverished by
such policy. The day for that fool
ish, nonsensical talk has passed After
the experience of many years under
Republican control the people are not
likely soon to be deceived by its theo-
ries.

charges for depreciation, improve
ments, surplus account, and SO on,
which in the natural order of business
would have very largely reduced the
profits available for distribution
among owners.
According to the Statistical Abb
stract for the year 1903, the wealth of
the nation was estimated in the year
1900 at 1900. 00O. 900. an increase of
SIT 300, 0OO. 900 in five years. or at the
rate of So, 400. 060 900 per year. Now.
anybody can see that the total trust
profit of $3.50. 403. 935 for the year 1900
was not more thar one-half," was
not anything like one-half of the total
increment in national wealth for that
year, amounting to over three billion
dollars 1t was only about one-four-
teenth.
Having demonstrated by the ire
sistible logic of Official statistics that
considerably more than nine-tenths of
the increased wealth of the United
States is being accumulated outside
of the trusts, the Times concludes by
saying:
Mr. Watson. we suppose. includes
corporations engaged in transporta-
ton, mining and many other things in
his category of trusts He may add
them all. and yet no definition of the
word trust that is not altogether
strained. irrational and barbaric will
include corporations enough to abb
sorb, as he says they absorb. more
than one-half' of the annual increase
in wealth in this busy and prosperous
republic"
II, as the statistics prove thirteen
fourteenths of the gross business pro-
fits of the United States are the prod
uct of corporations and individuals
operating Independently of the trusts.
the conclusion is inevitable that to
rip up the tariff in order to strike at
the trusts would affect nontrust con-
Germs in the proportion of about thir-
teen to one 1t would indeed prove
a destructive remedy. and the Times
has done well to demonstrate the
fact.

OF course, the three battles men
toned were, respectively, named Ma
nassas (not Manassa), Seven Pines
and Cold Harbor from the localities
at which they were fought, and which
were so named long before the battle
took place. Manassas Junction is a
railroad point; Seven Pines was so
named from a marked cluster of sew
en- pines, which were cut down dur
ing the war, but when, at the close of
the war, the Federals made their GEM

Harrison in Battle.

"Ex-President Benjamin Harrison
was as brave a soldier as ever went
into battle. for as a member of his
regiment saw him tired in more than
one place which put the courage OF
r en- to a supreme test" said Mr.. ]. l.
Ketcham, a prominent manufacturer
of Indianapolis, at the New Willard.
Mr.. Harrison really never had the
opportunities that fell to some others,
but 1 have always been Of the belief
that he had in him the elements Of
& great military chieftain, as well as
of leader in times of peace.
1T was at the battle of Resaca that
saw him give an exhibition OF grit
that was an inspiring spectacle 1t
vas a beautiful Sunday morning, the
18th of April. 1864 Our brigade of
five regiments was encamped on a
height crowned with a grove of fine
tees The confederates were posted
on another hill some little distance
away, and this was covered with about
as dense a growth of underbrush as
ever saw. We knew that the guns of
the enemy were concealed in this
thicket, and pretty soon the word went
around to fix bayonets-' That. of
course, meant that we were to charge
OF the foe and take his guns ii we
could. An order to FIX bayonets' is
one of the most serious that can come
to a soldiers ears. for it implies that
desperate fighting is imminent and
that the hours of his life may be few.
But most Of us were young and
jealous, and, nerving ourselves to the
bloody work ahead. we prepared to
dash down our hill, across the inter
vening hollow, and at the confeder-
ates. 1t was just at this time that
Harrison at the head of his regiment,
yelled out in his peculiarly ringing
voice, Come on, boys, and shout for
