BRAzyILs SCHEME,

Under the Brazilian governments
valorization scheme the government
carries the enormous stock of $780,
900 bags and will not sell anything
unless it gets it own price for it. The
consuming markets will, it is hoped,
come to the conviction that this huge
amount Of coffee does not exist for the
present. The necessities of consump-
ton will increase, and buyers must
pay better prices.
The visible supply, June 20, 1t is
estimated is 16,411,70s bags, including
the Brazilian governments 100000
bags, against 9,636,563 bags twelve
months before. The receipts this year
were 1855, 900 bags, against 10227,00o
bags last year, and 9,96s,000 bags two
years ago Prices have been recently
the lowest on record, but with S,00o.-
900 bags taken out of the market cof-
fee growers hope for better days.

KEEPING OUR OWN.

When the battleship fleet, is sent to
the Pacific coast, if it is sent there, we
may expect to hear a revival of the
crv of imperialism Heretofore the At
lantic has carried the warships Of the
United States and western waters have
been policed by very inadequate ma
val force. Yet the greatest naval battle
of our last war was fought on tina!
side Of the continent, and our interests
in the Pacific are strung across the
map from the west coast on past Ha-
vail to the Philippines.
1t is no time now to argue over the
question of the advisability of the ac-
QUESTION and retention of the islands.
We have them and must keep them, at
least until the Filipinos are capable of
self government. We have assumed a
task, accepted a responsibility, and
must finish the work. And while that
work is under way and until it is fin
ished. the United States will hold the
Philippines, peacefully if possible, but
hold them.
1T would be well to send a powerful
feet into the Pacific. 1t would be
service Of notice that we intend to re-
tain all that is ours. While the steel
towers of the battleships doomed dim
ly on the sea line neither Japan nor
any other nation would be likely to
mistake the attitude of this county re-
garding her eastern possessions.
We have entered upon a policy IN
which there is no retreat without dis
credit. When the country reelected
President Mckinley this policy was
one of the issues and it was entered
upon with the approval of Mckinley's
vast majority. 1t meant then as it
means now, powerful feet. II the
Atlantic fleet is to be moved to the Pa
cific it means new Atlantic fleet.
The game will have to be played out.
There is no evidence on the part OF
president or people of any desire to
quit. and It would be just as well to
offer Japan or any other nation which
is casting envious eyes on the Philip
pine islands the suggestion that the
United States feels entirely ale to keep
them.

When chautauquas forget their pur-
pose in the desire to swell the crowd

all that has been said of them by the

Perkins. The promoters of carnival

managers. If it is a question of get

nonsense. Before you think seriously
of passing in your checks, why not go
uptown and see the man who has done
such wonders with my crippled legs?"
Cole hadn't much faith in the expert,

THE FALLAcY OF THE SOCIALIST
Cedar Rapids Republican,

Cedar Rapids Republican,
The preamble passed by the eastern
federatio of miners declares that
there is a class struggle in society and
that this struggle is caused by econom-
ic conditions; that the economic con-
ditions of the produced is that he is
despoled of the wealth he produces,
being allowed to retain barely sufficient
for his necessities; that the class
struggle will continue until the pro-
Queer is recognized as sole master OF
his product; that the working class
alone can and must. achieve its own
emancipation; that an industrial union
and the concerted political action of all
wage workers is the only method of at
tanning this end. So
Let not the dust the socialist raises
obscure the truth. There are only a
few who possess great genius for BUSH
ness organization. Out of vast army
such as we gathered during the civil
war, only few great generals came
forth. And so 1t is in business. What
marks the difference between a man
like the late Marshall Field and thous-
ands of merchants who started. strug-

ruled their lives. Field possessed
qualities which taken in combination
preclude the possibility of failure.
Thru his genius great business is
developed, and by it thousands Of
men, faithful and efficient under direc-
ton, but powerless If left to their own
devices, do well. The socialist will
say Field was curse-a monster. But
socialism is wrong. The chances are
that Marshall Field increased the pro-
ductive power Of his entire force over
and over again, and that working for
him they gained more than they could
possibly have gained working for
themselves.
1t is easy to talk about mans right
to what he produces. The great ques-
ton is, what does he produce.
