If you are a farmer have you bought any barbed wire or other trust produced article lately and nave you reckoned how much tax yon are paying tha truata? If yon are a railroad man, have you been thrown out of employ ment or forced to seek "another field of labor by the combine the railroads have entered upon? If you are a storekeeper you have come In contact with the oil trust the sugar trust, the cereal trust the tobacco trust and a good many others, and you find they are not only cutting your profit but dictate what you shall sell and where you shall buy. If you are a clerk or book-keeper, you hare found that the coal trust and the beef trust are getting more of your Income than you can afford, and while, they are paying millions of profit, you are unable to save a penny. If you are a member of a labor union you know what the truata are dotng and that the steel strike is but the beginning of an attempt to over throw organised labor and then re duce wages. The cotton mill trust baa Just reduced wages 14 per cent The railroad combine ia gradually advancing rates, there is a dearth of potatoes, they have raised the rates on this necessity from the northwest to Chicago nearly 25 per cent and freight on coal haa advanced in about the ame proportion. Theae advances are but the opening wedges for the ulti mate extortions that it ia possible for the trusts to force ail to pay. That they will .be cautious la making In creased prices Is also certain, for they ire managed by the shrewdest men In the world. They are now engaged in torcing their goods into foreign mar kets at prices averaging 25 per cent less than they charge us at home. This they are enabled to do through the protection granted them by the tariff. The ftfclp SnbsUy BtaaL The ship-bullding plants have about a year's work abead, running at full rapacity, and yet Mark Hanna declares that his ship-subsidy steal Is needed to build up the merchant marine. Com menting on this the Philadelphia Rec ord says: "If It were not for the ling ering expectation of receiving large steamship subsidies out of the pockets of taxpayers, there would be no dis paragement of the prosperity of Ameri can ship-building interests. Although this industry has undergone a new de velopment under the most favorable conditions without public aid, there Is no doubt that the subsidy scheme oper ates as an obstruction to its march. More yards would be opened and more ships built for the ocean service at fair profits but for the prospect of the larger gains from subsidy. Apart from the iniquity of this subsidy scheme, its removal from congress by the defeat of the Hanna bill at the next session would be promotive of tot ocean transportation interests of the country.". .. ... ,- And as further evidence of how little a subsidy Is needed, a statement laaued by the bureau of navigation, Treasury department, shows that during the last month 112 new ships, of 10.120 gross tons were added to the American merchant marine. Of these, 65, of 8,278 gross tons, were built on the At lantic and gulf coasts; 10, of 3,254 gross tons, on the Pacific coast; 23, of 1,125 gross tons, on western rivers, and 14. of 8.363 grots tons, on the great lakes. The largest steam vessel built on the great lakes during the month was the Pere Marquette NO. 17 at Cleveland by the American Shipbuild ing company. Wall Intense. Democrats that wish to. control the government so that the revision of the tariff sad the control of the trusts through the amendment to the anti trust law and other necessary legists tioa must work earnestly that fit men, able, honest and true, are nominated for congress and for members of the legislatures that will elect United Stated senators. It is none too soon to be shaping events to this end. First class nominations will alwaya bring added support to such candidates, in many congressional districts enough to turn the tide of battle, There are fifty such districts now represented by Republicans who will all vote ia the next congress to prevent anti-trust legislation. As all the people are In terested la striking down monopolies that oppress them, keep close watch oa the way yonr congressman votes.

They are now aeaulring estates to them. The latest Information which the daily press impart to a breathless pub lic la that Mr. Harrlman, one ot the alae railroad kings of the country, has bought a "domain worthy of an old world dukedom." being within an hour of New York city and fifteen miles In length. What with their palaces in the city, and their "cot tages" at the aeaalde, which are man sions, and their country estates, their army , of servants, and their rast In comes with their palatial yachts, our plutocracy can quite match the for eigners. Bat there is danger that too many lordllnga are being imported aa play things for the daughters of our rich men,- and the Dlngley tariff should be amended to take these from the tree liat and impose a good stiff duty or, say, 1100,000.000 a head to protect our infant industry of raising lordllngs of our own production. Papa VanderMIt, Papa Gould and the rest of them could well have afforded to pay this tariff and it seems about the only way the tariff can be made to reach their pocket-books to any great extent As It is now, a millionaire pays about the same tariff tax that the balance of us do, and under the new republican scheme of reciprocity there will be a great reduction in luxurlea that are almost exclusively used by the rich. But would this tariff on lordllngs be constitutional, there Is grave danger that our aristocratic supreme court might knock out this effort to equal ize taxation aa they aid with the In come tax, which excludes foreign goods from competition in our markets. How long thla will continue depends upon the people. They, have tbe power to remove this protection If they select their representatives to congress who are pledged to reform the tariff. Tb Heely mud Rathbone Cmm. The climax of the Cuban postal frauds la coming and the evident com plicity of the administration in shield ing those who are accused of the crime is becoming more and more apparent Tbe reason for this partiality ia thus set forth by the Indianapolis News: "The prospective pardon of one of the men Involved in tbe Cuban . postal frauds, and the persistent talk of the difficulty or impossibility ot convicting Neely have naturally created the im pression that Neely would not be brought to trial at all. Tbe 'Havana Post' says that Neely will be released, and that be la even now 'preparing to leave for his home.' Remembering ibat Neely had more or less intimate relations with men In high places In our government one can hardly repel the conclusion that If be escapes prose cution It will be because it is desired that he should escape. Is there a fear that facta might come out that would reflect unpleasantly on the Heath fam ily? It if, known that Neely was rec ommended by Perry Heath and that Heath was very much Interested in his welfare. Rathbone, who la also charged with malfeasance, is another man with a pull, and tbe forcing ot the Neely case to an Issue mlgnt be un pleasant tor Rathbone and his back ers. In a word, the whole case Is complicated with politics. Therefore, when people hear that It ia doubtful whether a case can be made out against Neely, they naturally wonder whether politics haa not something to do with the matter. The plutocratic newspapers are so anxious to "down Bryan" that they manufacture fake interviews with those who supported him to show that they have deaerted him and the na tional platform upon which he was the candidate of the Democracy. The latest fake of this kind is a reported interview with Hon. Charles A. Towne, recently published broadcast, In which he was made to throw over Bryan and Free Silver and come out for Hill. Tbe Dubuque Telegraph Is authority for the statement that Mr. Towne has wired Mr. Bryan that It Is utterly with out basis in fact and declaring that he bad not spoken to a reporter in tbree months. The comment of the . Tele graph on these mendacious Republican newspapers aaya: "It ia incredible that any newspaper man conceived and wrote the Imaginary interview merely to gratify his taste for tbe sensitlonal. The political motive behind the lie Is easily discernible. Evidently the In terview waa carefully and purposely prepared to discredit the Democratic National platform and leader and thus promote tbe scheme of the eastern reorganlsers' to regain control of tat party and convert it from an opponent into aa Instrument of privileged In uresta." The first annual report of Governor Allen on Puerto Rico, haa been pub lished sad Instead of the prosperity that Is said to have come to that lal land the appendices to the report show a pitiful stats of poverty both of tbe people aad ot the towns.

For example, tbe average property holder believes that what he owns he owns absolutely, and he becomes indignant when told that be cannot do as be pleases with his own. Yet this is exactly what ne can not do. Title to real esUts originates from the sovereign power, and tbe land is inherently subject to ihe right of eminent domain. Tbe man who owns lands through which the state wishes to extend some public improve ment and who does not wish to sell, finds that the government takes his property and gives what It thinks Is fair compensation. In other words, be learns swiftly and surely the lesson that the government's title Is superior to his own. His property may be taken even without compensation, whenever the sovereign power sees fit to do so. It Is impossible for tbe state to en tirely alienate property and to give to any holder the absolute control. In Its ultimate sense, property simply means dominion a dominion that is entirely artificial and is simply guar anteed by the state, which Is created In this country by tbe people. Neither is the title to personal prop erty absolute. It Is subject to tbe rights of the state. Stocks, bonds, notes and mortgagee are merely the creation of statutes. The provisions for enforcing rights under them are also created by and subject to tbe will of the people. They could not exist without laws for tbe enforcement of debt Tbe individuals who consider them selves absolute monarch of what they survey should be reminded that with out the slightest pretense of Injustice the public can at any time, repeal cer tain statutes which will give tbe peo ple back a portion of that of which they have been robbed in other ways than those pertaining to taxation. Tbe so-called owners would be utterly powerless to prevent such a step. Re peal the wills act and a man may still make a will, but It would be absolute ly nugatory. - His property would de scend according to the statutes of de scent Repeal the statutes ot descent and the property would revert In the state, or be open to the first comer. Thla is a fact recognized by the su preme court of the United States and by every tribunal that attempts to use reason aa a basis ot decisions. The remedy can be applied at any time. There is absolutely no right In the dead, so far as tbe disposal of prop erty is concerned, and wil.a only speak from the time of doath. The only re course of tbe owner would be to dis pose of bis holdings during life. Even this method can be made so onerous as to bring about tbe same result Provisions for registering documents showing change of title may be made stricter, heavy fees may be imposed on the transfers, the ordinary taxes on real estate might be so graded as to take for taxation all rents above the cost of repairs, Insurance and a rea sonable rate of interest on the value As to corporations and trusts, tbey are not dangerous, if people wish to control them. Foreign corporations can be prevented from doing business In the different states. The law for bidding such bodies to exist may be repealed, and In casea where tbe cor poration hna been granted exclusive rights under charters tbese can be nul lified by counter licenses and restric tions. - When the people have become convinced that the foolish persons who are allowed to rule by means of prop erty laws are not grateful enough for the privilege which they now poasess to honestly pay their taxes, then tbe people should adopt the aimple remedy of repealing some of the laws enumer ated. H. M. Asbton In Chicago Amer ican. THAT T A BIFF WALL. When Republicans gather for tbe purpose of "pointing with pride" there must be pronouncement favoring the continuance of tbe scheme of protec tion ot our manufacturers. In the gathering of Ohio Republicans this feature was not lacking. And now the organs rise to a demonstration of tbe great benefits flowing from tbe Repub lican policy of protecting the home market The convention declared In favor of "tariff schedules which will protect American labor against the low wages paid foreign labor." And the faithful organ points to the steady Increase of our exports of manufac tured goods as evidence of tbe value at the tariff wall. It la to protect the laborers of this country against the low wages paid abroad. Now if this Is so simple a thing why win not none of these organs explain la what manner a tariff against Im ports of iron aad steel can benefit the American laborer while ws srs con stantly adding to the amount of oar exports of these commodities? It Is sot to bs assumed that foreigners buy ear manufactured products because they are higher la cost than those Btade by the foreign labor to which lower wages an paid. That Is too pal pable aa absurdity even for a Repub lican orgaa. If we caa ship oar and acts to England aad sell them, freight aid, la eaaaDstlUoa with goods man- afaetnrsd fey English labor working tar a leas wage, what Mad of a tariff la Beaded to make It Impossible for tbe C2fa taaaetaetarer to ship Ms prod ttta t tkla swaatry, pey tke freight and attendant expense -and sen thesa la com petition with our goods which are driving the Englishman out of his own market? And when a sneer Is pointed at what Is termed tbe academic phrase of "Chi nese wall,'' because In spite of the al leged wsll we have conquered the tor sign market for our goods. It creates a desire for information aa to the real effeet'Of taeseChiaaas walls. It ia well known that there was s strictly "Chi nese wall" around the city of Pekin. It ia a matter of recent history that Americana entered Pekln against the desire of the Inhabitants. It was an American who first scaled the wall. Ha entered and carried in his hand the American flag. Commenting on this Incident in the spirit of a Re publican convention, it would be claimed that the Chinese wall had been scaled and an American had en tered the city, and that, therefore, the wall waa not an obstacle, but rather because of the wall tbe valiant young American ros to fame he might not otherwise have achieved. If there had been no wall It could not have been scaled. Therefore, It was clearly tbe Chinese wall that created the ralor of the American sailor lad. It Is a strange sort of logic. It would not be accept ed In the crasy ward of a well-regulated insane asylum, But it is all right In a Republican convention, and It just suited tbe purpose of a high tariff or gan.

The following Is a late dally press dispatch from New York; "Stockholders of the Pennsylvania Coal company were notified today of an extra dividend of 43 1-6 per cent, making a total of 595 1-2 per cent re ceived by them since tbe acquirement of the company by J. P. Morgan at Co. for the Erie railroad." Under precisely tbe same date was a dispatch from tbe same place an nouncing that many employers were resolved upon a war of extermination against "trades unionism" or labor organisations. This action being the result of the strike of tbe organised machinists of the country for a nine hour day without change of pay. If organized labor deserves extermina tion for demanding the mild conces sion noted what sort of a fate does the above mentioned coal trust , de serve, ia a naughty question that will occur to an occasional naughty citi zen, who, If he voices tbe question, will be accused of trying to "stir up strife," to "create discontent," and disturb the present prosperous and satisfactory business situation. If or ganized labor would publicly declare a war of extermination against trusts, and proceed to carry on the war there would be a deal more said about it than about the same declaration by employers, and It would not be com plimentary to organized labor, either. It seems to make a deal of difference whose ox la gored, capital's or labors. Farm, Stock and Home, of Minneap olis. "STIR COMTBACTOBJI UP." During tbe horse show week Mayor Johnson drove out of his way several times on his. way to and from tbe race track to see what was being done In the parks, says tbe Cleveland World. The result of all this was that he held a lengthy conference with Director of Public Works Salen yesterday rel ative to park Improvements that are under way. "Charley," said he, "there seems to be an Immense lot of unfinished work in the parks and along the boulevards. At Superior street everything la all torn up, and I did not see any work go ing on there when I passed." "Oh, 1 guess everything is moving right along," answered Salen. "I haven't had time to make a personal Investigation, but I understand that everything is moving along all right" "I'm not satisfied that It is, unariey, answered tbe mayor. "It seems to me that If this work was being done ler an Individual it would not be allowed to drag along this way. Hurry them up." "All right, I'll look up this wont." "See if the time limit on many of these contracts has not expired. I bare a notion that you will find that a lot of 'em have.
