A Sensible VietU.
1t is a Democratic duty.

The President of the New Orleans
Wholesale Grocers' Association, dis
cussing the proposed raising of rail
road rates. said:
The railroads have met with our
commercial people and have promised
them a square deal and we have been
given their assurance that no discrim-
nation will be shown either in present
advances or those to come.
This looks beautiful on the surface,
but is in reality waiver of the main
issue-to raise or not to raise rates.
THE railroad managers are in
trenched behind the plea that higher
rates will mean prosperity in every
walk of life-a complete rejuvenatof
as it were-that everything springs
from the loins of the railroads, and
once the Golfers of the railroads are
replenished the car of commerce will
resume her triumphant march, which
has been somewhat interrupted by lack
of the usual axel grease during the
past year"
The speaker continues to refute the
specious arguments upon the same
grounds discussed before in this pa
per. The proposed increase in rates
will meet with universal opposition and
must be rescinded. Nor will the law
uphold it, if only because it is a Sec
tional measure.
The essence of the matter is that
the railroads look toward the people
TO furnish the funds wherewith to stop
the leak caused by peculation and in
flation,-and the people will firmly de-
cline 10 spend their money to replenish
the purses of a few multi-millionaires
The railroads will find out the truth
that you can't fool all the people all
the time"

( Every good Democrat should be in

The need OF Democratic success is not

The People and
the Corporations.

1t is admitted that corporations
must be. Our large country and the
enormous total of its undeveloped re-
sources demand combinations of cap
lital; the several states recognize this
| by granting charters defining the
Erights and privileges of corporations
under the law.

throughout the country against corpor-
Stions is due 20 the fact that that lit
clause was disregarded Insisting

obligations: that the charter was
I.granted b. the people. the sovereigns,
and that the grantor expected faith

cepted by the corporation.
The Cumberland Telephone Com.
panE has incurred severe criticism on
account of fragrant irregularities which
have been exposed in this paper The
officers responsible for these irregu.

look after the interests of their EN-

should learn that those interests are
absolutely identical with those of their
patrons, the people. That petty trick

crease the returns, hurt the corpora

Free Trade BlunderinG.

Edward J. Shriver, in the Free
Trade Broadside," makes the blunder
of asserting that within the past
eight or ten years we have exported
as much as 5000 100000 more than we
have imported, and that for perioC
of 80 years there has been a sub
stantial favorable balance on our for.
eign trade" His error consists in fail
ing to note what some of his school
of thinkers have agreed to designate
as invisible imports and exports, be-
cause they do not appear in custom
house reports of foreign trade.
When these are taken into considera-
ton the assumed balance of trade
shrinks very materially; still it has
been large enough during recent
years to put us in better shape to
draw upon foreigners than we were
during the years of Cleveland's last
administration. Mr. Shriver evidently
does not believe that this is the case.
He thinks that the United States
could have remained a debtor country,
increasing the volume Of its indebted
ness year by year by buying more
from foreigners than we sell to them.
and still be able, like England, cred
itor nation of long standing, to draw
on them for gold whenever 1t was
needed-San Francisco Chronicle.

bathroom furniture must be Of porce-
lain or porceain-lned, as hard and
smooth as glass, SO they may be easily
cleaned.
Recent improvements in plumbing
supplies have reduced the cost of hot
and cold water fittings in houses by
cutting off corners in different direc-
lions. All fittings and connections are
now cut by machinery to standard
sizes, and attachments to washstands,
closets and bathtubs are manufac-
tured by the million, so that the only
thing necessary is to put in the proper
washers to prevent leaks and TO screw
them fast and connect with the water
supply and the sewer. 1t makes the
plumbers job an easy one and quickly
done.
The kitchen in this little plan is
made large, because it is also the din
ing room. A hundred years ago the
very best Americans were not too
proud to cook and eat in the same
room, but lumber was cheap and the
next generation found out how to
build larger houses. Some Of the
women killed themselves taking care
of them, but while they lived they had

An ENCOURAGING Showing.

While but IL months figures are
available, Bradstreets says that the
foreign trade record for the year so
far exceeds any corresponding period
OF earlier years as to justify the state
ment that the total of exports and i'm
ports will be far larger than in any
preceding year in the history of our
commerce. The growth in the ex-
port trade has been chiefly in fin
ished products, manufacturers ma
terials and manufactures, although the
impression probably prevails that any
increase has been largely in raw ma
terials, cotton and cereals. The gain
in imports of manufactures for fur
Their use in manufacturing has also
been considerable, greater than it
should be, perhaps, considering our
own resources. But it at least goes to
prove that the tariff is not prohibitive,
as we are constantly hearing, and the
showing tends to confirm the belief
that the time is not ripe for pro-
tracted period of business depression.

Fleets in the Pacific.

Remarks in the speeches of Secre.
tary Taft in New England have been
seized upon as explanatory of the bat
tleship cruise into Pacific waters, and
as being significant of that fleets uti-
mate destination Mr.. Taft has said
something about the necessity for fill
ing the Oriental eye" If that be the
real purpose of the cruise it is likely
to accomplish its object whether Rear
Admiral Evans does or does not go be-
yond San Francisco. The feet now
at Callao consists of 16 battleships of
the first class, among the worlds
ablest fighting craft The other fleet
assembling at San Francisco to meet
the battleships comprises nine great
armored vessels, almost if not quite
equal TO those under command of Ev-
ans in Peruvian waters. Then there
is the torpedo flotila that is in itself
a very formidable aggregation.
The cruiser squadron that is as
sembling at San Francisco includes
the four armOred vessels of the Penn
sylvania class, carrying armor and
armament almost equal to those Of
battleships. The other members OF
the group are almost equui in fighting
strength, the squadron surprising in
power the whole American navy ell
gagged in the war with Spain. When
it combines with the two forces com
ing from the Atlantic the whole
should be ample to FILL the Oriental
eye and any other eye that may
happen to be turned in that direction.
The fleet will not then represent the
present naval strength of the nation
not by many powerful units. And we
may add that the splendid spectacle
should so fill the eye of congress as to
convince it the nation is not in need
of haste in making additions to it's
force. The two battleships and aux
Hilary vessels Endorsed by the house
appropriations committee are suff'
cient for the moment.-Pittsbufg Dis

FOR CIVIL SERVICE PENSIONS.
Chicago Newspaper Thinks United
States Has Been Remiss.

No other nation has ever been SO
liberal in pensioning it's soldiers as
the United States. No other nation,
either, has so neglected the applica-
ton of pension laws to civil service,
declares the Chicago Journal
Military or naval pensions are
scarcely matter of bounty, i'll most
nations. That is, the soldier or sailor
who receives a pension has given its
equivalent in active service for his
country. Where the pension laws eX-
tend to the benefit of soldiers widows,
the same rule is held, and the widow
or children reap the fruits of the dead
patriots services.
In the civil service, different rule
applies. Most civilized nations allow
their civil servants to create out of
their own earnings the pension funds
that go to widows or children. A
fixed sum is deducted from monthly
or yearly salaries for that purpose.
Thus there is no direct charge upon
taxpayers, and the government only
assumes supervision of the civil pen
sion funds.
But even this point has not been
reached in the United States Con-
gress has turned deaf ear to all pen
sion proposals. except for the army or
navy. The result, as was inevitable,
is that hundreds Of aged civil servants,
in the various Washington depart
ments, who have given their lives to
the government service, are now about
TO be discharged.
1t may be good business and good
politics to man the departments with
younger blood. But the old servants
might at least have reaped the benefit
OF small retiring pensions, if the gov
eminent had allowed them to main
tain a pension fund out OF their own
earnings.
