"We favor an immediate declaration of the nation's purpose to give the Filipinos, first, a staple form of gov ernment; second, independence, and, third, protection from outside inter ference, such as has been given for nearly a century to the republics of Central and South America." —Kansas City Platform. A Republican paper points to the fact that Mr. Bryan is building a house (not so expensive as the Republican paper reports, but still a good house) as evidence that he is getting "his share of Republican prosperity." It may be interesting for the Republicans to know that the house is being built from the proceeds of the "First Bat tle," which was published immedi ately after the election of 1896, and be fore the Republicans began to boast of prosperity. Republican policies have not benefited Mr. Bryan except in the sense that a physician is in debted to sickness for his income. Re publican policies furnish Mr. Bryan texts for editorials and speeches.—Bry an's Commoner. One hundred and twenty-five years after the Declaration of Independence was made by the thirteen colonies against Great Britain and denying the right of Great Britain to tax the col onies without giving them represen tation, we find the same colonies, now a great power, enforcing the same doc trine upon the Porto Ricans and Phil ippines as the British government at tempted to fasten upon the colonies one hundred and twenty-five years ago. The taxing without representa tion did not succeed then, neither will it now. A greater outrage has never been attempted by the American peo ple, and the party which is responsible for such an outrage will yet have to answer for it to the liberty-loving peo ple of this country.—Blossburg Adver tiser. The depths of national infamy are sounded by the order of General Bell applying Weyler's policy of reconcen tration in all its details to the Fili pinos of Batangas province. Nothing in the history of modern warfare ex ceeds the ferocity of General Bell's In structions to American officers to "make the people want peace, and want it badly," supplemented by spe cific orders to regard the insurgents as "outside the pale of civilized warfare." Four years ago the American people were in a blaze of righteous wrath against the Spaniards for their fero cious treatment of the Cuban insur gents, and they are even now stirred to indignation by the reports from the British camps in South Africa. That they tolerate with placid indifference the imitation of Weylerlsm by Ameri can soldiers in the Philippines is al most incredible, but it is a deplor able fact. —North American (Rep.). Congressman Hill, of Connecticut, who visited the Philippines last sum mer, has a poor idea of them as a "stepping-stone" to the Chinese trade. He says that a foreign nation acquir ing the Bahama Islands would be as wise in thinking it had got an entre pot to New York and Philadelphia as we are in imagining that Manila gives us an entrepot to China. This will be a sad blow to Senator Beveridge. For eign trade, in his mind, depends upon having a whole series of stepping stones across the ocean. His picture of American goods hop-skip-and-jump ing over the Pacific—one leap to Ha waii, another to Guam, thence to Ma nila, and from there right to Hong Kong—was a beautiful work of the imagination, and it seems a pity to have it shattered. Mr. Hill, has, how ever, a good many prosaic facts to ad duce. He observes, for instance, that, in some cases, "the cost of freighting from Manila to the Chinese cities is greater than from our own coast to the same points." In short, he ap plies a good deal of hard Yankee sense to the questions whether our Philip pine Investment has paid, or is ever likely to pay, and answers them both with a plump negative. New York Post (Rep.). CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the srf ' Signature of C-tici&X fictfeJuM DEBS TO THE FRONT TAKES UP THE CUDGELS IN SUP PORT OF STREET CAR STRIKERS. The Spirit That Inspired the A. R. I'. ShinPN In Every Line of a It I iik inK Add re MM to the Worklntfinen of Terre Hante. The employees of the Terre Iluute Street Railway company were com pelled to strike against the poor pay, long hours and unfair conditions placed upon them by the managers of the company. Terre Haute Is the home of Eugene V. Debs, and, know ing all the facts in the case, that fear less champion of labor's cause has is sued an address "To the Men, Women and Children Who Toll," published in The Toiler, In which, after carefully setting out the details of the contro versy between the men and the corpo ration, he makes an appeal from which the following Is taken: The vicious "public sentiment'.' made to order will be dissipated like mist before the sun if the men who work simply stand together. The naked facts are there. Lies may conceul, but cannot cancel them. This sad eyed corporation Is not owned by "widows and orphans," as we have been told, but the same old bunko game is played with the smooth old plutocrat In widow's withered weeds, watered with orphans' tears to soothe the storm to calm again. The "beautiful machinery" of these "widows and orphans" has had more praise In the press since the strike is on than all the slaves that ever suf fered to make comfort and conven ience possible for those who hold them in contempt. For $1,500,000 Is this company bond ed. It pays taxes on $250,000, or one sixth the vulue of its property. This Is the robber that has the nerve to tell us we must obey the law. Thirty years ago, when "beautiful machinery" wus unknown, we bought six tickets for a quarter from the driv er; today we have to pay the nickel straight unless we lose a day and have ourselves identified at the company's ollice durjng banking hours. The company does not pay the em ployees one red cent, but you and I do pay them all and send the foreign own ers handsome sums besides to let us ride in our own streets. This corporation uses my streets and your streets, without which Its prop erty would not be worth a farthing. This makes us stockholders even though we do not share lu the prollts its piracy drains from the veins of its living rolling stock now out on strike. Not less than 75 per cent of "the public" is in the working class, and therefore It is "the public" under our institutions, and its voice is law, and even corporations can be compelled to obey Its mandates. All that is needed is that the work ers stand together just once, stand to gether If every wheel must stop to show some people who despise you that when worklnginen so will It the machinery of society stands still and every hearth Is tireless and every mas ter helpless. Let the word go forth that Manager Clark's challenge Is accepted by all the hosts of labor, and let It be a "light to a finish," and "damned be he who first cries hold, enough!" Next, let all men, women and chil dren who are with us enroll their names with pledges never to enter a car in Terre Ilaute until the fight is won and Justice done, and let the can vass be complete, for the time has come to draw the line and know who is with us and who with the corpora tion in this struggle. Next, let a canvass he made of the working class for fifty miles around and have each man, woman and child who can contribute from one penny upward each week to create a fund from which to weekly pay the strikers while they hold the fort. Next, let a monthly demonstration of labor be held in Terre Haute and have It increase In numbers If the strike is prolonged until the working class In general Is out to bear testimony of Its loyalty to men who are bravely fighting the battle of all. Next, let it be understood that the people who support the company and are its friends have that unquestioned right and privilege, and by the same token It is your right and privilege to let them also sell their wares to their friends. Next, have the working class pre pare Its "book of remembrance" and when completed have It printed for fu ture service. On the fly leaf should be printed this extract from the speech of Wendell Phillips, delivered to working men in 1872: "If you want power In this countuy; if you want to make yourselves felt; If you do not want your children to wait long years before they have the bread on the table they ought to have, the leisure in their lives they ought to have, the opportunities in life they ought to have; If you don't want to wait yourselves, write on your banner so that every political trimmer can read It, so that every politician, no mnt ter how shortsighted he may be, can read It: 'We never forget! If you launch the arrow of sarcasm at labor, we never forget. You may go down on your knees and say, "I am sorry I did the act," and we will say, "It will avail you In heaven, but on this side of the grave never." So that a man In taking up the labor question will know he Is dealing with n hair trigger pistol and will say, 'I am to be true to justice and to man; otherwise I am a dead duck.'" The coming demonstration is emi nently the right thing at the right time. Let It come. We care nothing about the dark hiuts as to what this work !ng animal may possibly do IT be turns himself loose. Of course he would bet ter stay In the conl holes of the earth where he belongs, but we think It will do him good to -get out In the sunlight and stretch himself and give the peo ple who only rend and hear of him a chance to see him and take his dimen sions. It Is with pleasure that I avow my full share of responsibility for the demonstration, and all I have to say is that no good man has aught to fcnr from It. My own personality ought not to be a feature of this address, but perhaps I should not altogether ignore the In sinuations of the crafty tools who fear that worlclngmen may profit by my ad vice and my experience. They have said that I am a Jonah. To which I answer, better a Jonah than a Judas. It Is true that the American Rail way union, which honored me with of ficial leadership, was crushed, but bet ter that a thousand times than that It lived debauched. Nor can the General Managers' association claim the victo ry, for It required all the resources of its masters, including the fat apos tate Grover Cleveland and all his judges, soldiers and other lackeys, to wrest victory from the union and give It to the corporations. Had I been as servile as those who sneer and ns ready to "crook the preg nant hinges of the knee that thrift may follow fawning" I could have had more money than they ever saw, while the press would have crowned my treason as wise and noble leadership. But 1 am not disturbed by the taunts of this two bit aristocracy, puffed with pride, not knowing enough to know, lliat it couldn't get a job currying the pink tea poodles of the genuine so ciety swells of Beacon Hill, whose cars and rails they are so zealously guard ing and defending in this strike. As a last word I have to say that no juster cause ever prompted working men to action. Let the call ring over hill and dale. The hour has struck, and the workers must and will stand together. Cowards may crawl, and traitors may betray, but the men and women of labor will stand stanch and true. The trials and privations may be severe, but these only temper the true for noble actions and heroic serv ice. Right is with the men, women and children of toll, and humanity at last will thank you and remember you. No ProNporlty FOP Labor. In the past ten years the number of workers has Increased relatively more than the amount paid out in wages, making a full in wages for the twenty eight states and territories of 3 per cent. Since this statement was made the census bureau has issued bulletins for five more states, which make a still worse showing, carrying the general decrease in money wages down to 7.4 per cent. One of these latter states is Tennessee, which shows a decrease of 9 per cent in ten years, another, South Carolina, showing a 20 per cent de crease. The worst of all is New Jersey, which shows 32.2 per cent decrease, the figures being: 1800, number of wage earners, 120,000, and $80,773,387 paid in wages; 1000, number of wage earners, 241,581, and $110,088,005 paid in wages. Well, what does this signify? It sig nifies just this—thut while the owners and managers of the trusts are get ting undoubted benefit out of the pres ent prosperity era, and while it is un doubtedly true that some worldngmen are better off so far as higher wages are concerned, the mass of men in this country are, by the testimony of those who have no wish 10 show the trust era at any disadvantage, proved to be worse off, because prices making up the cost of living have risen, while wages, considered as a whole, have fallen. The workingman has to puy more for the necessaries and comforts of life, and he gets less money with which to do it. After that I do not see what the trust advocates can say. The case is proved against them out of the mouths of their own people. Henry George, Jr., in Philadelphia North America n. New York Unlonintii. The last report of the New York bu reau of labor statistics Is of special in terest to wage earners. Although it is restricted to organized lubor, its figures apply to 275,000 working people and nearly nil the manufacturing and me chanical Industries. Hence conditions reported must be uceepted as fairly representative. In 189-1 the number of labor unions in New York reporting to the bureau was 800. In 1001 the number was 1,881. In the same period the mem bership Increased from 17)7.107 to 270,- 141, or 70 per cent. In 1807 only 3.1 per cent of the members of lubor or ganizations In New York were women. In 1001 the proportion had risen to 5.3 per cent. All but two of the groups of trades attained to their largest growth in 1001. In the tobacco trades, however, the 1001 membership was smaller than thnt of 1000. In the clothing trades the maximum was passed in 1895. The largest group of organized working men is that of the building trades. In tills group is 31 per cent of all trade unionists in New York state. Growth of Firemen*!) Brotherhood. The general secretary of the Broth erhood of Locomotive Firemen reports a membership of 40,720 out of a total of about 50,000 employed as locomotive firemen in the United States and Can ada. This is a doubling of the mem bership since 1804, when the headquar ters were moved to Peoria, at which time the brotherhood had less than 21,- 000 on its rolls. The gain for 1901 was 3,110. The aggregate Insurance In force in the Beneficial Auxiliary is $55,028,500. PEOPLE OF THE DAY Wn Snyn War Wan a Dlennlnff. The principal guest at the celebra tion of Lincoln's birthday by the Lin coln club of Grand Rapids, Mich., Wu Ting Fang, said: "I ain inclined to think that the civil war, coming as it did, was not alto gether a bad thing for this country. Measured by the wealth destroyed by WU TING FANG. fire and sword and the quantity of blood spilled on the battlefield the war was an appalling calamity. But meas ured by the glorious results achieved, chief among which was the settlement of the slavery question, it was not an unmixed evil. Before the war slavery had been an incubus, weighing heavily upon the life and energy of the nation. It had divided the country into hostile factions. The question of slavery had to be settled before the country could enter upon the road of prosperity and peace." Doenn't Denl With Probabilities Judge Advocate General Lemly is neither the prophet nor the son of n prophet, but his prominence in the Schley case has mude him a target for ill sorts of questions regarding the future as well as the past. He draws his line sharply between the two. A day or two ago u visitor dropped in to inquire as to the outcome of the Meade court martial. "Meade wus ac quitted," answered the judge advocate general promptly, without looking up from his work. "How about the charges which were filed by Meade against Luuchlielmer?" asked the visitor. "Thut question you will have to pro pound to the weather bureau." "But the weather bureau is not in volved in this matter. I don't under stand you." "It deals with probabilities. I never deal with probabilities."—Cor. Pitts burg Dispatch. An Amateur Tragedian. Many little anecdotes are told of Charles S. Boyd, whom Governor Odell appointed to succeed Colonel Partridge as commissioner of public works. Mr. Boyd is an exceedingly popular club man, very tall and of somewhat mass ive build, with a voice which at times can be made to resound through a large hall. When Mr. Boyd is among his inti mates, he is often asked to recite, and his favorite selection Is the speech of Richelieu beginning, "Mark where she stands; around her form I draw the awful circle of our most holy church." Very few tragedians, Mr. Boyd's friends assert, attained the impressive ness of his delivery in this selection, and at club reunions, when he is pres ent, the evening is not considered com plete without the recitation.
