POLITICS OF THE DAY

PROFIT AND LOSB. When the administration gets ready to make a report to the people as to the profit and loss of the policy of imperialism, how will the account stand? Certainly not in favor of a policy which burdens the nation with taxes and gives no adequate return. In 1890 the national receipts wens $403,080,982 and the expenditures $318,040,710, and the army and navy cost tie Government $00,589,044. How does the account stand for the present fiscal year? The receipts were $515,960,620 and the expenditures $605,072,179, of which $293,785,359 went for the army and navy. While McKinley’s administration has Increased taxes and raised the revenue in every possible way, the deficit this year amounts to SS9, Taxes have been increased 27 per cent, by the Republican administration, and the expenditure has doubled since 1890. Not only this, but the Interest-bearing debt of the Government has grown from $600,000,000 to $1,182,149,050. Now, what has McKinley to show for this enormous increase in debt and taxes? The war with Spain ended more than a year ago. This nation is supposed to be at peace with all other nations, yet war expenses go on at an increased

Beale. It will be difficult for McKinley to make his profit and loss account balance. The people of the United States are patriotic, but they are not imperialists, and they will not long approve of a policy which costs much more than R comes to.—Chicago Democrat. Hope Only l« the Pemocrncy. Never before since the dawn of the republic have greater dangers beset Its integrity. Moneyed greed, combined and entrenched under the protection of the Republican party, is fast marching toward the overthrow of the cominerciai and political freedom of the masses. An oligarchy of wealth Is laying siege to the underlying principles of government by the people. Militarism Is raising its mailed hand to strike down the basic enunciations of the declaration of Independence, that all men are born free and equal, and that the power to govern resides in the consent of the governed. The Republican party Is In league with the allied enemies to sacred principles and traditions that have successfully withstood foreign wars and domestic shocks for more than a century. To the Democratic party the nation looks for emancipation from the evils which threaten its perpetuity, and for continuance in the faith and practices of the fathers. The Democratic party must rise to Its opportunity. It must show a united and unbroken front to its foes and the foes of the country. Let it throw away feud and selfishness, and with harmony and unity on its bannerp courageously march to the rescue of the American people from the perils that threaten.— St. Louis Republic. WH'fet the Flag; Means. President McKinley says the flag will not mean one thing iii the Philippines and another thing in the United States. Well, that sounds all right, but what does the flag mean In Hawaii ’! It means that slavery flourishes the stars and stripes. The sugar barons have instituted a feudal imperialism in Hawaii and the laws they have made are upheld by the Supreme Court. Rabbi M. S. Levi, of San Francisco, who has Just returned from Hawaii, confirms this statement, as follows: “Slavery and involuntary servitude of the most degrading type ejeist in the Hawaiian Islands to-day as a means for the. enforcement of contracts made by laborers to work on the sugar and coffee plantations. Thirty-six Ga-

ttclans, subjects of the Austrian Empire, are now confined in Oahu prison, Honolulu, because they refused to longer comply with the onerous conditions Imposed on them by their owners. They were convicted of ‘deserting contract service,' and were sentenced to indefinite imprisonment. They can gain release only by buying their way out of prison or going back to ,the cane fields.” What does the flag mean in the Philippines? It means government without the consent of the governed, taxation without representation and a war o t imperialistic conquest What does the flag mean in the Sulu Islands? It means that slaves there can secure their freedom by paying S2O to their masters. Lacking this, the slaves remain subject to the tyranny which ended in the United States when Lincoln Issued his emancipation proclamation. Truly, President McKinley was more poetic than truthful when he gave that rhetorical recital as to what the flag means.—Exchange. Advanced, Even for Jingo. The copperhead of the present day is under the delusion that the principles of the declaration of independence apply to savages and half-civlHzed men, and therefore apply to the Fili-

pinos, who are utterly incapable of self-government. When Jefferson wrote the declaration of independence he was writing about civilized men capable of self-government. He had no thought of slaves or savages. The best way to civilize savages is to subjugate them. That was God's way In the days of Joshua, and it is the only sensible way at the present 1 time.— Braddock (Pa) Herald. Pnhtt'-ttjr for the ' r rn»t«. As the trust corporations are the creatures of thie State, It is the right and duty of the State to compel them to publish the condition of their finances and business. The knowledge concerning the financial condition of many an overcapitalized trust to be obtained from compulsory publicity would cause Its collapse without the necessity of other legislation on the part of the State or the general government. What is wanted Is light to reveal the secrets of trade conspiracies against the public. —Philadelphia Record. Alarer « Pathetic Spectacle. Alger allowed himself to be crowded out of the Cabinet on account of his Senatorial ambitions. Now he bos quit the Senatorial race. It would be a hard-hearted person who would not fed pity for this man, who went Into office little more than two years ago with magnificent opportunities and bright prospects, who Is now out of politics with all his ambitions shattered. Whether he is a victim of his own lust for power or of the intrigues of the Washington bureaucrats does not matter. He presents a pathetic spectacle.—Pittsburg Dispatch. Only ■ tarter.” The Chinese government has lodged at Washington a dignified but very earnest protest against Gen. Otis’ order extending the Chinese exclusion act to the Philippines. This is a mere suggestion of the international entanglements into which the policy of benevolent assimilation by bullets and military orders Is likely to bring this hitherto untroubled country of ours.—New York World. A Problem In Arithmetic. They say there are sixty tribes in the Philippines, and we are fighting but one of them. If tt takes 62,000 men twelve months to do up one tribe, how many men and months avIU it take to fix the whole lot?—Kansas City Time*

WARSHIPS ASSIGNED TO MANILA

President Acte on Dewey’* Advice So Strengthen the Fleet. By the advice of Admiral Dewey the cruiser Brooklyn, the gunboats Marietta and Maehias and several other war vessels are being prepared for a trip to the Philippines to augment the naval forces already there. Admiral Dewey is said to have strongly urged a much larger and more important fleet for the Philippines, contending that it was necessary to make the blockade of the islands more effective. He favors an aggressive land campaign, and believes that this, with a vigorous blockade, to cut off the supplies that have been regularly smuggled to the Filipinos, will shortly reduce them to submission, as the only alternative of starvation. In addition to the vessels now being made ready for the journey, the cruisers New Orleans and Albany, the Monocacy and the gunboat Nashville may lie sent. Acting Secretary Allen telegraphed orders to the cruiser Nashville, at San Domingo, Thursday,- to proceed to San Juan, P. It., and coal with ail dispatch, and then proceed to Gibraltar on her way to join Admiral Watson at Manila. At the same time orders were sent to the Brooklyn and the New Orleans to prepare to leave as soon as possible for the Philippines, via tile Suez canal. Orders ■were also sent to San Francisco to prepare the Badger to cross the Pacific as soon as practicable. Acting Secretary Allen also telegraphed to Boston to prepare the Bancroft for sea immediately. The Maehias nnd Marietta will .also be ordered to start for Manila in the course of a week or two, and probably the Annapolis. The orders, it is officially explained, are due to Admiral Dewey’s advice that every vessel of the navy that can be spared from other duty be added to Watson’s fleet, with the view of crushing out the rebellion as rapidly as possible. He thinks this can be quickly accomplished with the increased army force soon to be assembled in the Philippines, if there is sufficient naval force to secure a rigid blockade, and if there is energetic co-operation between the sea and land forces.

CONDITION OF THE TREASURY.

Decrease in the Public Debt Haring September of $8,400,775. The monthly statement of the public debt shows that at the close of business Sept. 30, 1809, the public debt, less cash in the treasury, amounted to $1,148,905,780, a decrease for the month of $8,400,775. This decrease is accounted for by a corresponding increase in the cash on hand. The debt is recapitulated as follows: Interest bearing debt $1,040,048,850 Debt on which interest has ceased since maturity... 1,215.030 Debt bearing no interest. . 389.037.412 Total $1,430,001,392 This amount, however, does not include $*>47,905,903 in treasury notes outstanding, which are offset by an espial amount of cash on hand. The cash in the treasury is classified as follows: Gold $343.0*12.379 Silver 499,028.449 Paper 78,078,145 Bonds, deposits in national bank depositories, disbursing officers’ balances, etc 83,932,112 Total $1,015,241,080 Against which there are demand liabilities outstanding amounting to $727,545,473. which leaves a net cash balance on hand of $287,095,012. The comparative statement of the receipts and expenditures of the United States during the month of September shows that the total receipts were $45,334.144, and the expenditures $37,579,372, which leaves a surplus for the month of $8,754,772. The receipts from customers were $19,120,357, against $lO.759,574 for September, IS9S. Internal revenue, $24,304,591, against $21,5552288 for September, 1898. Miscellaneous, sl,849,194. against $1,403,207 for September. 1898. For the last three months the receipts were $125,407,880, against $184,748,114 for the same period in 1898. The expenditures charged against the War Department during September were $10,541,515, as compared with $24,643,374 for September last year. Against the Navy Department, $4.757,553, as against $7,251,219 for September last year.

The Political Pot

Single taxers are preparing for a more •nergetic campaign next year. Joseph W. Bailey seeks to succeed Senator Chilton as Senator from Texas. Maryland newspapers of both parties praise both candidates for Governor. There has never been such an oratorical campaign in Kentucky as is now on. Lieut. Gov. Woodruff of New York is suggested as a vice-presidential possibility. Mayor Jones of Toledo is lecturing on “Why Am I a Candidate for Governor of Ohio?” Clark/Howell is to be a member of the Georgia Senate and hopes to win the presidency of that body. W. E. Chandler's election as Senator from New Hampshire is opposed, but the opposition is badly split West Virginia elects a Governor next year. The present Republican Governor is not a candidate for re-election. But languid interest is being taken in the New York World’s attempt to have Admiral Dewey nominated for the presidency. Nearly every newspaper thinks he would not accept a nomination. At the recent New York primaries only 42,000 Democrats and 18.000 Republicans, a total of 60,000, participated out of aa electorate of over 800,000. Eighty per, cent of the voters4ook no part in the primaries. Earnest and indefatigable work will be required, apparently, to prevent a considerable decrease ia this year's vote as compared with 1890. 1897 and 1898.

BUSINESS SITUATION.

Chicago Correspondence: Bank clearings arc one of the moot reliable indices to the general situation, and it is an easy matter to judge from them of the degree of prosperity that has pre- ; vailed during any given period. The re» turns for Chicago for the first nine , months of the current year are larger than the entire 1897 total and only slight- i ly below the total for the twelve month* of 1898. Chicago clearings for 1890 wi& exceed those for 1898 by more than sl,000,000,009. What is true of Chicago is : true of the country at large. The aggregate clearings of the country for the month of September exceeded $7,090,000,000, being ahead of those for August and nearly equal to those for July. The far western cities show the largest percentage of gain and the southwestern ones the smallest, but even the latter show an improvement of 19 per cent as compared with last year. • ’l]

Reports from all over the country tell of an increasing volume of trade, and manufacturers, jobbers and merchants | are abnormally busy. The scarcity of '.Jg supplies is the prominent feature, and ‘J buyers complain of inability to get all their wants satisfied. There has seldom |j! been a time when goods have been so well sold up. So far as the speculative situation is concerned, there has been very little 1 change this week. Money continues to •• be the governing factor in the stock mar- % kets, and so long as rates remain at their .J present level it is idle to look for any | material improvement in security values. Trading in grain has not been marked by any striking features. Compared with the closing prices of a week ago values were 1 cent a bushel lower for wheat and a trifle higher for corn. Business was fairly good and the crops of the season having all matured changes in prices 3 from day to day were not, as during the growing season, affected by fluctuating -I prospects of the yield. An estimate made , by Statistician Snow that the total win- g ter and spring wheat crop was 564,000,000 busels had much to do with creating a change in speculative sentiment, which resulted in a loss in price of 1 cent a ; bushel.

Talk of tight money had also predisposed speculators in wheat to doubt tha possibility of an advance in prices. Another contributory cause of the heaviness . that characterized the market toward the end of the w<>ek was the growing conviction that war in the Transvaal, should it occur, would not tend to the enhancement of the price in this country whatevef might be the effect upon British markets of a consequent rise in ocean freights. Corn prices were upheld because of thg great activity of the shipping demand, and 'the prevailing impression that the accumulations from previous crops have been practically all used up. so that this year’s production has alone to be depend- * ed on to fill the extraordinary ednsumption caused by the barren pastures at home and the heaviest foreign demand ever experienced, owing to a like effect s of a hot, dry summer in Europe.

THIRD ATTEMPT A FLUKE.

Yacht Race Fails Saturday Because of f Lock of Wind. The third fiuke of the Columbia and Shamrock Saturday disgusted those interested in yachting. It was a little too much for public patience to bear. This was shown in the fact that the attendance on the excursion boat** going down to the course decreased from 50,000 on Tuesday to less than 20,000 Saturday. Boat rates were $5 a person Tuesday;, they were $1 Saturday. The wind for the third time failed the yachts. When they came down to the starting line, the: Columbia in fine position and taking the lead, a stiff gale was blowing. In lesa> than an hour this diminished to four knots, and by mid-afternoon it was most a dead calm. The yachts rounded th" stake boat, which was more than they did Thursday, and the Columbia cut down a long load of the Shamrock and took the front, but it was not real racing. It was drifting. Some years ago the International race was seventeen days in progress before either challenger or defender scored a victory. As a rule the steamboat captains gave the yachts a wider range than on the previous days, and even the White Ladye promptly got out of range of the patßff~J boats when signaled to by the revenue officer aboard a tug. There was perhaps more discussion on the excursion boats as to whether the course could be covered: within the time limit than there was about the merits of the two yachts, and bets were made on this score. An hour before the limit the situation became exciting, and the racers shot through the waves at a lively clip, but aa they got under the lee of the highlands and slackened their gait it became evident that the boats could not make it in time, and the odds changed heavily in ' favor of “no race,” with no takers on the other side. Two of the most interesting sights in the race Were the former enp defenders, the America and the VigiiantThe former did not follow the run, but ' cruised around and was just outside the Hook, and was within range of the returuiag fleet, receiving many complimentary remarks from yachting experts.

SERVANT GIRL FAMINE.

Condition that Continues to Bother tk* Housewives of Chicane* The “servant girl famine" still cone ' 2 tinues to bother Chicago. There are five» , | situations open for every girl who care* : j to take up the work. The girls are not I there, however. There has bee-n talk off . an exodus of domestic servants from other towns to that place, but if such ha» || taken place the pilgrims must have been I lost ou the way. The supply of has not increased. The employment afMMtfl eies are full of waiting women, but tbwrjlM are mistresses, not maids. They Wafi|B for the servant who does not come. Ia a the meantime, nteq continue to apply for-*;' and get women's tarork. There are now m scores of men acting as cooks and “see* ond girls” in private families. They, A* : jjj the washing and perform other work usually performed by women. Girls in do- | mestic employment now receive from SO 2 cents to $1.50 more per week than they did before the famine.
