the country and ultimately and for the
time being secures control OF the whole
republic. BY a very fortunate arrange
ment, under an order Of president
Roosevelt, with the consent Of SantO
Domingo, and under an arrangement
V 18th the bOndhOlders of that then fall
ing and unfortunate country, Americans
were placed in control Of the custom
houses and took charge Of the collection
Of the revenues. The arrangement was
like a. reCeiTership, providing for the
deposit Of a certain proportion Of the
funds collected in a New York city
bank, to be applied TO the payment Of
the national debt, after It had been
scaled down to q reasonable figure, with
as much as possible OF the fraud, waste
and injustice squeezed out

fend the custom houses against seizure

the fact that this government acted as
gUardian-not of the people, not Of the
country, but only Of the custom houses
was quite sufficient to make this re-
ownership arrangement a complete sue
cess. subsequently q treaty with Santo
Domingo embodying these features was
ratified by the senate, and has now
Feen nearly five years In successful
operation. The revenues have been di-
vided, some 40 OF 45 percent applied to-
ward the extinction Of the nattoD0l debt
of Santo Domingo, and the remainder
Of 55 percent constituted a revenue for
the country greater than 1t ever had be-
fore in its history.
Lesson Suggests Solution.
THE lesson OF SantO Domingo has
caused a similar solution Of the diff
culties of Honduras, Nicaragua, and
some Of the other countries in Central
America. There have been, as say
seven revolutions in Is years IN Hon

vas originally S26, 100000 in bonds, has
Increased by accrued interest to S124,-
0eO OOO and her military expenditures
each year are $500, 600. The government
has no money with which to make i'm
movements, to build roads, to do any
of the things necessary to progress and
civilization. Her people are poor and
on the verge Of starvation in a land
that ought to be poisoning with pros
pCrity, and she has turned to US as
ph!lantnrOpic guardian Of the small
countries Of our continent to assist in
the adjustment of her foreign debt, TO
improve the collection of her taxes

SantO Domingo The treaty we have
concluded with Honduras provides that
we will help her to secure a financial

because so little Of L really Injured to
the benefit Of the country.
by the treaty the government Of
Honduras undertakes TO make q con-
tract providing for the refunding OF its
present internal Gnd external debt for
the adjustment and settlement of claims
uQuidated and unliQuijated, and for the
placing Of its finances upon a sound
and stable basis Both gOvernme nts
agree to take due note Of all the pro-
visions OF the contract when made, and
TO confer in case OF difficulties, with a
view to the faithful execution Of the
CT ntract, in order that the benefits to
Honduras and the security Of the loan
may be secured.
BY article 2 it is agreed that the
loan shall be secured upon the customs
OF Honduras, and the government OF
Cnat country agrees not to alter its i'm
port or export duties during the exist
ence OF the loan without consultation
and agreement with the government Of
the United States.
Loan Contracted.
"A contract for the loan has been
made between the government Of Hon
1Uras and four OF our prominent bank
ing firms-PieTpOnt Morgan & Co.,
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. the National CITY
bank and the First National bank Of
New YOrk-and the Guaranty Trust
company OF New York has agreed to
net as the fiscal agent of the loan. I'm
the republic of about $4,000. 600, IS TO
be redeemed by the issue of bonds TO
tbe amount OF S4,500,0O0.
"The whole loan Is to be $4,000, 600,
and is to cover this payment Of bonds.
About S2,5OO,000 Is to be used for In
rernal Improvements. The only ObHga-
ton the United States assumes Is to
exercise its judgment in recommending
collectors Of customs, and Il reserves
the right to protect such collectors. The
contract Of loan has been examined BY
the state department and by experts
employed by it to see whether &c is fair
to the government OF Honduras. The
IA te Of interest for the bonds Is per-
cent and the price at which they are to
Re sold is So. This IS not as high as
the Dominican bonds sOldd under the
contract, because when that contract
was made the experiment had been ac-
tually made and there were already
several millions OF dollars on deposit

THE REVOLUTION
(By Gordon Nye.)

The New Orleans Picayune is per-
haps the best type of a reactionary
newspaper published in the South,
just as the New York Times is a
good example of the same kind of q
newspaper published in the East.
In a recen editorial, entitled The
Impending Struggle for the Distri-
button of Wealth. the Picayune
made the following statement:
1t was destiny that slavery should
be abolished in every civilized coun-
try, aud it was done, n still an
other tremendous, and this time not
sectional nor even national, but
worldwide POLITICAL social, indus
trial and financial revolution is i'm
pending, and yet any mention of it
and Of its rapid approach is laughed
to scorn. 1t is the fight for equality,
political and financial.
The first step is to abolish social
and political classes, and the next
will be to bring all to a pecuniary
equality by dividing out the ccum
ulated wealth.. This is to be done
by force. No consideration is to
be given to any moral and social con
ditiOns that have trained some to
labor, save and accumulate, while
others have only been content to
spend and dissipate. All must be
made alike in fortune by means Of
a universal distribution. 1t will
produce a most unspeakably fright
full revolution in every country in
the world; it will disorganize gov
ernments, change armies to mobs
and reduce all human society to
chaos while the storm is raging.
When it shall have passed there
will be a genera l reorganization.
but this work of destruction will
have been done. When it shall break
upon the HOPELESS human race no
one can say but he is blind who
does not see the storm impending.
This is, indeed, cheering news.
The Picayune has reached a remin-
iscent age. It fills page after page
recounting battles of the lost cause.
1t devotes editorial space to prov
ing that Socialism means dividing
up" 1t sincerely believes hat if
it were not for benevolent Capital.
Labor would starve. So when a
solid ivory institution like ethe Plea
yune can wake up long enough to
notice the light of revolution. blaz-
ing on the horizon of tomorrow it
behooves all brethren to be of good
heer
That a paper like the Picayune

everywhere there is unrest distrust
and suspicion. The world is almost

ready for its next great change
which is to he IN economic change
that will make all mel industrially
equal.
The Capitalist class can thank its
lucky stars that there is a Socialist
party. This party will perhaps save
the owning class from having its
throat cut or from furnishing neces-
sary food for the %guillotine.
There are millions of men anxious
to work, even begging for jobs, and
the jobs are not to be had. Some
OF these men roll over mcekly and
die without protest of a struggle.
Others get and put a bullet
through their brains, while others
succeed in begging enough whiskey
to make the passage over the Styx
fairly easy.
But unfortunately for the Capt.
allst class, there are those who do
nothing of the sort. Instead, some
Of them do vivid and fauticai things.
Some are out day n night exhort-
ing and pleading with their fellow
slaves to join hands with them u
wrest away from the owning class
all they possess.
Their number is increasing day
by day. They are growing holder
week by week. Ere long they may
begin visiting the haunts of the
rich-those good and charitable mil
lionaires-and they are liable to do
horrible things.
So only immediate salvation for
the Capitalist class is to apply the
rule of reason" 1t must slow down
in its mad scramble to earn divi-
dends on fictitious values and watered
stocks. 1t must quit making the
price of necessary commodities "all
the traffic will bear It must treat
its labor more humanely, and stop
exploiting it to the limit of human
endurance.
If h Capitalist class does this,
the Socialist party can continue with
II work of education and organiza-
ton until all the people are ready
for cooperative and intelligent ac-
ton. When hat time arrives the
day of p~eaceable revolution will be
at hand.
Many times in the history of the
world the oppressed people have been
momentarily successful against the
rule of tryants. These successes
We're due to agitation, but the peo-
pie were neither sufficiently edu-
Gated % organized to hold perma-
nently the ground they had gained.
The trouble with the working
class heretofore has been that the
great majority lacked education in
the sense of basic brain regulation.
Their education was along scattering
lines. hence conflicting ideas provok-
ed them into flying at one another's
thE9ats- Therefore the many shades
of opinion entertained by the people
demanded action along different
