Mark Twain is a hard hitter. Upon
the advent of the new century he writes:
"I bring you the stately matron named
Christendom, returning bedraggled, be
smirched and dishonored from pirate
raids in Kian Ciiow, Manchuria, South
Africa and the Philippines with her soul
full of meanness, her pockets full o^,
boodle and her mouth full of pious hy
pocricies. Give her soap and towel, but
hide the looking-glass." .,
There are not wanting signs that the
American people are preparing to visit
a terrible vengeance on the tnen at the
head of affairs who have gotten us into
the meanest, most unsatisfactory state
of affairs that ever made Uncle Sam
worried and ashamed. When the next
congress comes to be elected more re
publican hides will be hanging on the
fence than ever were seen in the drying
yards ot a tannery.

the establish­

undertaking, but is intended to be per

deliberation and thought on his part,
and he had been planning for it for over
six years. He promises muc.b improve

Congress has broken faith at the order
of the administration and Cuba is hand

other four years. To say nothing of the
Weyleriem of it the perfidy mast make
every honest man hang his head in
lame. The Democrat has said from
the^beginning thaif*McKinley and his
party would never give Cuba freedom.
Its position is now proven true. The
Cubans have a hard alternative, they
must either cowardly submit to slavery
and degradation or be wiped out as
people in resistance. The chances are
they will resist and be "benevolently
assimilated" by Mcltinlty's 100.000
army. Meantime the army "will be in

The wooden mills are all shutting

goods. The Drovers' Journal and Wool
Cotton Reporter say thaf'manufacturers
are going into the shoddy business be
cause they say that the demand from
the laboring class is for something cheap,
and they cannot afford to pay the present
market price of wool and sell the cloth
cheap enough to make a garment that
would come within the reach of the or
dinary workingman.'' The Reporter
further says:
"No industry in the United States has
probably turned out so poorly in the last
decade as the wool industiy. Neither
the wool grower nor the wool merchant
nor the wool manufacturer, nor the tail
ors will deny this."
The Reporter lavs part of this to the
wool gamblers. It says they depress the
wool market till they get the w'ool from
the growers and appreciated it largely
before they will sell to manufacturers.
It says there is "profound dissatisfac
tion" all around. In other words the
Dingley tariff monster has nearly ruined
all wool interest3, except of the gam
blere.

The editor of The Church Standard,
a religious paper published in Philadel
phia, the borne of protection and sub
sidies, has an article in a. recent issue
entitled "A Day In Winchester." Just
what connection the famous Winches-1
ter cathedral would have with the now
notorious Hanna-Payne subsidy bill:
never entered the head of the editor. I
Here, however, is a sentence from the
very beginning:
"The New York is a good, well man
aged and remarkably steady steamship,
though rather slow for an ocean liner."
Yet this bill proposes to give to this
ship out of the pedflle's money over
$300,000 a year because, forsooth, she
Is so fast!
Public Opinion Opposed to the Sub
sidy Bill.
"The public opinion of the country,"
says the New York Press, a stanch Re
publican organ, referring to the pend
ing subsidy measure, "is, without re
gard to party lines, largely opposed to
this bill. It Is so opposed because the
bill proposes to pay a man $5 for doing
what for the last ten years he had been
doing for $3. And yet the man and his
friends have no explanation to make
of the causes of this extraordinary de
mand."
Drive the Baacnl Oat.
SENATOR DEPEWȤ INACCURACY.
Grroacoii Notion That the Mer
chant Fleets of Great Britain, Nor
way, Etc., Are Largely Snbaldlccd.
Senator Depew's speech In support of
the ship subsidy bill contained the cu
riously inaccurate statement that "all
nations arc agreed that their merchant
marine can be built up only by boun
ties."
If instead he had said that all tlio
nations whose merchant marines are
greatest and growing fastest grant noj
subsidies or bounties at all of the kind 1
provided by the Hanna-Prye bill, he
would have told the exact truth.
Great Britain and Norway are the
two countries whose merchant ship
ping shows the largest rates of annual
increase. Norway pays no ship snb
bidies or bouutles of any kind. Great
Britain pays none either of the kind
proposed by Mr. Hanna and pleaded
for by our junior senator.
No British shipowner draws a cent
from the British treasury because his
ships are built in British shipyards or
because the wages paid to British
crews are higher than those paid to
Russian or Italian crews, though they,
are.
The British government pays for the
carrying of the mails, and the fastest
steamers get the money every time. It
also pays certain stipulated sums for
the right to carry certain swift steam
ships on its list of auxiliary war vessels
and to muster them Into the govern
ment's naval service at'any time. And
in consideration of these payments
such merchant vessels have to be so
constructed as to be quickly converti
ble into armed cruisers.
In short, the so called British boun
ties or subsidies are nothing more than
payments for actual value received ei
ther in the shape of maU or war serv
