The Schwab interests, backed by Andrew Carnegie. own the iron field fin Cuba and use it as the source of supply. with Philadelphia as the port of entry. The steel trust gets its ore to Pittsburg from it's own fields in the Superior region. The Payne bill gave the Schwab crowd free iron ore Senator Aldrlch. in his senate com mittee bill, put a duty of 25 cents a ton on iron ore. Minus the 20 per cent concession in duties to Cuba, the Schwab people. under the Aldrich bill. would pay 20 cents a ton on all the ore from their Cuban field. They protest against this, and are support ed by Payne and the house commit tee.
 The matter will be a principal bone of contention between the house and senate in conference if the senate agrees to the Aldrich rate of 25 cents a ton on iron ore. The steel con- bine agents assert that the Schwab crowd can pay the duty and deliver their ore at Philadelphia as cheaply as the trust can deliver it's Superior ore at Pittsburg.

Golfers magaz ne is having hard times finding something to muck-rake -these days. In the last issue their chief muck-raker, Mir. Connolly goes after the Southern Pacific railway for terrible crimes which are charged up to this Hartman system. Among oth- CT things this railway has built docks and built railway switches to the docks and it has bought up steam. ship lines and in hundred of terri ble ways has assisted in the upbuild- ing of the business interests along the coast and throughout California and other western states. In black face type, calculated to frighten the wits out of us, this writer insists that when the big battleship fleet landed at San Pedro harbor. the dockages and most everything else in this ocean harbor were controlled by the Southern Pacific railway. Honest, now. we can see no particular crime in that fact. There is not much of anything at San Pedro but the docks and the railway switching yards and the harbor and if it wasn't for the docks and the railway termi- nals--there wouldn't be sany town or any excuse for the town. That the Southern Pacific had the business acu- men and progression to build these big enterprises at San Pedro strikes us a mighty swell thing for the town and far from criminal atcion on the part of the railway system. Seems to us that this undertaking and railway batting and such like is getting very, very tirescme.

sKINFLINTs.

Rev P. S. Hanson Of Boston says skintlints have no business in the Baptist church. For that matter. skinhints have no business anywhere. It is the quantity of meanness or skinflintnism which produces most of the trouble in the world. A report of Dr. Hanson's remarks says he minced no words in describing the shortcomings of penurious million aires and declared the sooner the church got rid of them the better it would be.
 If there is anything that is taught with even more than usually explicit lueidity. not only in the New Tests- ment but in every recognized docu- ment that carries authority. it is that covetousness or niggardliness is one of the deadly sins. The study of al truism is neglected in the United States. Boys and girls are not taught in the schools and universities that devotion to others or to humanity will produce prosperity for every one.

4 CONTINENT DESPOIlED.

Rudolph Cronau takes the title "A Continent Despoiled," and under it writes an article in McClure's Maga- zine, which must of necessity contain startling information for the aver. age reader despite the fact that there has been so much said and. written concerning the shocking waste and misuse of the country's natural wealth.
 Mir. Cronau touches, upon the bar barous vandal methods of numbering and the criminal carelessness result ing in fire by which the once incalcu- lable wealth of timber throughout America has come to a point where it can now be definitely estimated how many years will elapse before there is no more available lumber; he tells of the gully-scarred hillsides and ruined upland farms, of the drouth and flood, the loss in crops and the loss of property by overflow which have come as the direct results of the needless and needless denuding of the hillsides and watersheds, and he tells of the wastefulness of min ing methods, and other kindred topics which other writers on the same topic

THE HolD-UP AND THE VISIONARY.

brought out no more visionary pro posal than that which is heard in Washington from some congressman suggesting that trading in future con tracts be forbidden by federal law.
 In the first place. congress has no control whatever over business trans acted wholly within the limits of a state under rules of an association chartered by the state. In the second place, if it were possible to suppress contracts for future delivery of all commodities the wheels of every kind of business would be locked as tightly as if welded to the axles. Not even the small candy shop in a rural village could keep its doors open if it were denied the right to bargain with the city manufacturer for deliv- cry of small supplies of confections some weeks or mnths in advance of actual delivery.
 Widespread as is the distress and the interruption of legitimate bust. ness. if preventable at all, they can most certainly pc prevented through the rules of the exchange in which the contracts for future delivery are made. Mir. Patten in his raid upon the wheat trade-of the country, mak- ing dearer bread for the poor. shut ting down Touring mills and arrest ing the export of wheat, is simply abusing the necessary rules of the Chicago board of trade in which most of the wheat traffic of the country is conducted.
 The public distress caused by such predacious operations as MT. Patten Is engaged in there enforces an earn est appeal to all the exchanges in which the country's staple products are bought. and sold to exhaust every resource to make a speculative ''cor- ner" impossible.

have touched upon. And he tells still other things.
 He speaks of the miserable farm ing methods which have rendered un- productive the soil which was once the envy of Europe and the richness which was the lure that drew innum- erable numbers of the best immi- grants that ever came over. He quotes figures which show that for the ten years ending in 1907 the aver age yield of wheat per acre in the
 United States was but IS bushels. while AustroHungary- produced 17 bushels per acre, France 19.s. Ger. many 27.6 and the United Kingdom S2.2.. There is evidently something | shockingly wrong with farming meth ods in the United States, and as bad farming means rather bad time for us all, 1t would seem that it is high time something were done about it.
 There are other matters of no less importance in our natural wasteful- ness which he touches upon with equal interest. He again calls atten- tion to the fire waste in America. which is several times that of any other country. During 1907 the fire loss was s456.4s5, 300. or about half the value of all new buildings erect ed during the year. The per capita fire loss in America is s251, as com pared with the average of AS cents per capita in the six leading coun- tries of Europe.
 He also directs attention to the cheapness of human life in the Unit ed States. He refers to the frightful death list from preventable diseases which are produced by bad water in cities, poor food, lack of sanitation and general bad conditions surround ing workers, typhoid fever and con sumption standing at the head of the list. To this frightful death list he adds the deaths by railroad wrecks. explosions and accidents Of whatever sort. Tuberculosis takes of every year a whole army of citizens and when to this is added the preventable deaths from other causes the thing is horrible to contemplate. Alone in celebrating our national birthday, in the four years between 1903 and 1907, there were 1.15S persons killed and aI,520 injured. according to figures furnished by the Journal of the Amer iCan Medical association.
 In other lines the criminal waste and destruction has gone on at quite as appalling rate. The buffalo, the an. elope, the elk as well as almost every species of fur-bearing animal, has become extinct throughout the continent. There is scarcely. a stream in the country which has not been overfshed, millions of trout every year being left to die on the farm
