Aguinaldo's War.
The attack on General Otis’
army in Manila lastt Saturday night
by the mob of Filipinos composed
of various tribes of half civilized
aud savage natives, proved a severe
but instructive lesson to that bom
bastic “patriot,” the “Sitting Bull”
of the Tagalo tribes of Luzon. The
mob army of that bumptious chief
was scattered like chaff before the
wind, 4000 of the natives being
killed and wounded and numbers
of them captured. They ran like
rabbits from cane brake to cane
brake after the first charges of the
troops, and were scattered for ten
miles out from the city. Aguinaldo
declared war against the United
States after his “army” had been
scattered. About 250. Americans
were killed and wounded in the
battle.
The fuss that has been made over
Aguinaldo is little less than farcical
in the light of his recent exploits,
which prove he is little more than
an educated savage, full of guile,
deception and treachery. In the
city of Manila the natives were pre
pared for the outbreak with knives
ready to assinate the Americans,
who were on the alert aud the first
attempts were met by revolvers,
and a few Filipinos shot in their
tracks soon put a stop to the knife
game, which is the sum and sub
stance of the Spanish civilization of
:iOO years.
The doughty Filipino “patriot”
placed a company of bow and
arrow men of a tribe with an un
pronouucable name in the front of
his lines before a battery of artillery
of the modern style. The chief ol
the bow and arrow company had a
leg broken and was captured by the
Americans. He declares he will
get even with Aguinaldo after he
gets out of the hospital, for placing
him and his tribe where they were
sure to be killed.
This attack on the American
lines settles the question of a Phil
ippine republic and also fixes the
status ot the Philippine question
for the immediate future.
In the course of human events
the United States nas fallen heir to
this Spanish estate of filth, barbar
ism and neglect of a decaying Latin
civilization and must take up the
cross and make the best they can
out of it.
Aguinaldo Attacks the Americans.
The yellow bellied army of Aguinaldo
attacked the Americans at Manila on
Saturday night and severe dgliting con
tinued on Sunday. The Filipinos found
before Suday night that it was a different
thing fighting Americans and fighting
Spaniards.
This attack of the Filipinos made the
ratification of the treaty certain, which
hung in doubt before.
When the bottom facts are ascertained
the proof is convincing that McKinley’s
hesitating and uncertain policy is the
main cause of the present Filipino trouble
and of the opposition in the Senate to the
treaty ratification. A clear annunciation
by the President that the policy of the
United States was to treat the Philippines
us Cuba was treated would have disarmed
opposition in the Senate and prevented
the outbreak at Manila by the Filipinos
The strangest feature about the Sena
torial treaty contest is that the Democrats
should have been fooled by Gorman who
is working in the interest of the banks
and Rothschilds' financial policy and to
gratify his spleen. To defeat the treaty
and force the call of an extra session was
doubtless the desire of the money cliques.
If au extra session of the Senate was
called the pressure would have been put
on the President to call both houses, and
the bank party would have had all sum
mer to get their infamous bill passed for
placing the government under their man
agement.
Any one who has studied Gorman's
cold blooded and vindictive nature and
his close alliance with the goldbug ele
ment must reach this conclusion. To
split the Democratic party is also a part
Gorman’s plan.
(iorman’s Company.
The following item of news comes
through “ Holland,” the Philadelphia
Press’ New York staff correspondent, a
reliable newspaper man :
“Croker has organized a corporation
designed to secure control of the trucking
business of New York and Brooklyn. He
has an indirect association with Joseph
Leiter. He has brought into the corpora
tion some distinguished Democrats like
Senator Gorman and some able business
men like Roswell P Flower.
‘‘lf the purposes of this corporation are
consummated, it will have the vast income
which the trucking business of this city
brings. It is said that it costs $7,000,000
a year to cart coal alone, and that is only
one item.”
Gorman’s machine is intact in Mary
land, and the party depends on him as its
directing head. It will be seen that there
is little or no hope of the Democratic
party in this state adopting the National
platform and every prospect of its re
maining in the goldbug camp.

The Professor’s Facts and Logic as a
Remedy for Low Prices.
Professor Powel in bis argument before
the Institute last week impressed it upon
the farmers that they must prepare for
low and still lower prices, and held up to
them the belief that low prices for their
products was to be the normal condition
of the future for them, and this condition
could only be met by a system of inten
sive and scientific farming. The Professor
pointed to the cause of short crops, and
very logically demonstrated the fart that
in order to secure a large crop and such
crops as alone will sustain the farmer
under the low range of prices, whtch he
should make up his mind to be satisfied I
with in the future, that the constituents
must be placed in the soil which are re- 1
quired to make the largest yield of, the 1
crop under cultivation
As wise and intelligent as Mr. Powel ,
clearly demonstrated he is, he appeared 1
to be entirely oblivious to the fact that
his reasoning and facts upset his conclu
sions, when applied to the economic prob
lem of low prices. Nature has but one
principle on which all her laws rest. The
same law which applies to farm crops
governs the entire problem of economics
or political economy. It is the constit
uents which compose the different parts
that constitute the whole as a crop. In
the making of the crop nature must have
these necessary constituents present with
in convenient reach for use. The Pro
fessor pointed out these self-evident facts
to his audience very clearly and convinc
ingly, and in the same breath told them
that low prices were their unalterable
doom Th the future.
We have learned what farm crops are
composed of and the disposition necessary
to be made of those constituents in order
to secure a large crop, also the manipula
tions of the soil necessary to, secure the
desired result. If these manurial constitu
ents remain in the bag and are not applied
to the land, or if the soil is not properly
prepared in connection with their appli
cation, the Professor very clearly pointed
out that an abundant crop could not rea
sonably be expected.
And now let us see if the same natural
law does not govern prices. What con
stitute price or prices ? Money undoubt
edly, as surely as potash, phosphates,
nitrogen and other constituents go to
making crops. If these constituents are
skimped and not present where they
should be a light crop is the inevitable
result, labor as diligently as the farmer
may. So it is with money in relation to
I price. If the money in circulation is
skimped in its proportion to the amoi nt
of produce or commodities it has to price,
the effect will be similar to a small amount
of the constituents which farm crops are
made of if spread over too large an area
1 r 0
of laud. There will not be a sufficient
quantity to supply the plant food to the
growing crop and the crop will be light;
just as when a small volume of money in
circulation is used to price a large quau
( tity of goods on the market results in low’
prices.
A large volume of money might be in a
country, but if it is locked up iu the treas
ury’ or in banks, or is invested in bonds
l
aud stocks, and used for speculative pur
poses, in place of being invested in pro
ductive business, like the fertilizer in the
bag, no benefit will be derived from it in
promoting prices. Professor Powel and
the other members of the Institute lecture
corps gave our farmers a great deal of
practical aud valuable information, but
clearly there remains a great deal for
them to learn on the economic side which
is as necessary for our farmers to know,
in order to be supplied with a full bal
anced “ ration,” to use the feeding term
of the dairymen, in order to be abreast of
their business.
The evidence is at hand from which to
draw unmistakably correct conclusions,
that prices of the raw material of food
stuffs which the farmer produces should
he on the advance in place of on the
decline. The increase of the wheat crop
of the world has been 13 per cent in a
given number of years counting back from
present date, while the increase of popu
lation in the same period has been iS per
cent. There are more mouths to fill and
yet the demand for food to fill them
would appear to have diminished, which
is a natural impossibility. The true rea
son is there is not money to purchase the
necessaries of life iu the hands of the
people, and it is not in their hands because
it is not in circulation. A system of in
stitutes to teach the farmers how to rem
edy the evil of low prices would be inval
uable to them. The evil of low prices for
farm products and the proper treatment
for their remedy can be as scientifically
demonstrated as the cause of and remedy
for poor crops.
Under the present range of low prices
farmers can never get out of debt—a few
favorably circumstanced may, there are
in every condition of life exceptions—for
as prices fall debt rises in arithmetical
progression. Debts created twenty-five
years ago have since steadily increased
their power of absorption requiring more
and more produce every year as prices
fell, to satisfy them and the interest they
carry.

1 Price Movement.
Hon. Wharton Barker iu a dissertation
‘ on price movements says :
1 "And further be it remembered that as
• the possession of a credit on the books of
, a bank will give to a man purchasing
power equal as currency to an equal
amount in hand, it follovs that an ex
-1 pansion of bank credits will tend to raise
prices as surely as au expansion of
currency.” ,
This position of Mr. Barker is clearly
I untenable. The consumer cannot use
| bank credit to pay for goods that go into
personal use, and all commodities, sooner
: or later go into personal use. When goods
j reach the consumer they stop. The con
- 1: sinner cannot shift them to another party
and look to him for payment. The con-
I |
sinner must pay the bill of every agent
, through whose hands the goods have
I I passed. The manufacturer, or producer
‘ may pay for his raw materials by the use
of bank credit or borrowed money.
He passes them to the wholesaler or job
’ ber and looks to him for payment. The
” jobber pays with bank credit or borrowed
• i money and passes the product to the re
tailer, who in like manner may settle his
bill with the jobber aud collect the
t amount with all the expenses and com
missions which have been tacked on in its
course from producer to consumer.
The consumer must pay in cash. He
s j has no one to shift the bill onto The
j consumer is the end of the fcircuit
j ! and he must pay from his propor
tion of the currency in circulation. It
matters not how great the expansion of
business mar have been by the use of
e
- credit, the price is determined by
y ’ r j
r the ability of the consumer to pay cash.
Bank credit may stimulate production
and increase the quantity of goods to be
exchanged for money, and such a condi
, tiou will tend to lower prices but never to
raise them without loss to some of the
intermediary agents in getting the goods
, to the consumer. The cash in the hand
of the consumer must pay for all, that
consumer representing the entire body of
j the population, cannot have any more
money than the currency in circulation.
The volume of circulating medium fixes
the price in spite of all the bank credits,
checks and devices w ith which business
o .
is transacted This is an economic truth,
e
stable as the rock of Gibraltar. A small
v
e quantity of circulating money and a large
quantity of things to be exchanged for it
o means low prices, and there is no getting
awav from this both theoretical and prac
s 1
tical truth.
There .is a wearisome repetition by the
’ metropolitan daily newspapers of a great
business -and prosperity boom now in
progress, which they claim is sweeping
the whole country, which like the dews
of hepven or the rain and sunshine falls
alike on rich and poor. This is very
’ largely assumption The banking aud
motley trust, the industrial trust, the
Chamber of Commerce and Boards of
Trade, speculators and gamblers in
stocks, etc., are gathering in the vast
volume of wealth the hard working in
dustrial class created, and which the
buncoing scheme of low prices has strip
ped the producing class of all but a small
fraction, enough merely to sustain them
in working condition. That is the loca
j tion of our prosperity boom and those are
a the enjoyers of the intoxicating prosper
j- ity the newspapers aye calling on the
j whole world to behold and admire. It is
r not the producers of this fabulous wealth
) who are enjoying it, but a compai atively
small class of the population. Those who
do not create but absorb.

1 Redeeming in Gold.
1 There is a bill before Congress which
might properly be termed the McKinley
plau. General Warner before the Coin
. age Committee describes the bill as
- follows:
First—This bill proposes to redeem all
• United States notes in gold and hold
them in the treasury, to be paid out again
t only for gold, and after five years, if any
' of them remain, they are to be canceled
' at a certaiu rate; and after ten years any
such notes'remaining should no longer be
’ legal tender.
Second—lt proposes to make silver
1 dollars also redeemable in gold at the
I option of the holders of silver.
‘ Third —It proposes to turn over to the
r r
' hanks the entire issue and control of the
. paper money of the country hereafter.
Respecting the proposition to redeem
silver dollars in gold it is taking a de
parture from the practice of the entire
1 world for at least two thousand seven
hundred years, and how much longer no
one knows, for, during that time at any !
rate, silver coins had been in circulation
and never in any country is there record
ot their ever having been made redeem
able in gold or the coins of oue
metal redeemed in the coins of the
other metal anywhere. Moreover it is a
departure from the present practice of
every other country, for no country today
redeems its full legal tender silver coins
:in gold. The effect of this provision will
1 be in the first place to extend and per
petuate the endless chain, aud that would
seem to be the primary object of the bill

Wealth the Enemy of Liberty. |
Extract from ex-Governor Altgeld’s
speech at Omaha :
Republican institutions cannot live
- amid these conditions. Wealth has never
been the friend of liberty. Concurrently
with the progress of these changes we
hear the snarling voices of men who
■ deride the doctrines of Jefferson and Lin
| coin that made our country great and
might. Already we see magazine articles
urging the establishment by law of a per
manent aristocracy in our system of gov
ernment, and from high quarters we hear
a demand for Hatuiltonianism. Hamilton
believed in monarchy and aristocracy
bottomed on corruption. He was in love
with the English system as it existed in
the last century, thoroughly rotten from
top to bottom, and he labored to trans
plant whatever he could of that system.
He once said to John Adams: “Purge the
British constitution of its corruption and
give to its popular branch equality of rep
resentation and it would become an im
practicable government. But as it stands
at present, it is the most perfect govern
ment that ever existed.” He did not
advance a single new thought, did not
promulgate a single and
he sneered at the idea that the people
were capable of self-government.
La Grippe is again epidemic. Every
precaution should be taken to avoid it.
Its specific cure is Oue Minute Cough
Cure. A J. Sheperd, Publisher Agricul
tural Journal aud Advertiser, Eldcn, Mo.,
says: “No one will be disappointed, in
r using One Minute Cough Cure for La
p Grippe.” Pleasant to take, quick to act.

1 A Bryan Anecdote.
: Win. J. Bryan in his great speech at
- Denver recently told the following anec
' dote: —"The trusts are growing, they are
: increasing in this country. A man down
* ill our towii who appeared there with a
I drama, was accustomed to say something
■ before the curtain rose. He said he was
f glad to say to the people there that ‘pros
' perity’ was restored, he was glad to say
tliat confidence had returned, and he said
! when he heard that confidence had re
turned, that he looked in the dictionary
■ to find out what confidence meant. He
1 found the first definition of confidence
I was ‘trust, - aud then he said he knew that
- confi lence had been restored.”

f Plenty of work for everybody who
wants work. Poor people are belter off
and live better than ever before. Their
houses are better furnished and they enjoy

heard often ill the country but always
from thick and thin party folk who fear
anything else might hurt the party. Open
the newspapers and read such paragraphs
as the follow ing :
“Starvation, misery ami sadness
Empty pockets, cold hearth stones, einpt
ied larders and sickness are the miseries
with which lower Canton and parts of
Highlandtowu are visited. Over the
streets and lanes, made white and pure by
the snow, poverty casts its shadow. The
lines are deep, and there is not a ray of
brightness yet to ease the great grief and
suffering. Not. for many years, has this
section been in such a state Poverty

at present the destitution is of such extent
that none but the coldest hearted could

I Not Very Encouraging.
In the review of last week’s business j
the result is summed up ill the following |
paragraph. The week before the same
review put eveiytliing in the way of trade
and “prosperity,” etc., iu the housetops :
“It is significant that {he advance in j
staples which began a fortnight ago has J
suddenly ceased. Wheat fell 5 cents a j
bushel last week, corn a cent and cotton
a sixteenth of a cent a pound. In wheat,
this very nearly wiped out the advance,
and it removed half the advance in cotton.
Provisions do not advance; coffee is very
low and sugar rose very slightly 011 a re
port as to the sugar beet crop. In short,
the expectation and probability two
weeks ago that ail enlarging demand
would advance food staples has been
disappointed.”
Dangers of the Grip.
The greatest danger from La Grippe is
of its resulting in pneumonia. Ifreason
able care is used, however, and Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy taken, all dan
ger will be avoided. Among the tens of
thousands who have used this remedy for
la grippe we have yet to learn of a single
case having resulted in pneumonia which
shows conclusively that this remedy is a
certain preventive of that dangerous
disease. It will cure la grippe in less time
than any other treatment It is pleasant
aud safe to take. For sale by E. T.

What Farmers Pay for the Gold
Standard.
Before silver was demonetized wheat
was rarely less than jtr a bushel, and gen
erally more. Then the farmer got SIOO
for 100 bushels of wheat. Wheat is now
about 68 cents a bushel. SIOO will now
buy 147 bushels of his wheat. The farmer
is paying 47 bushels out of evijry SIOO
worth he sells for the luxury of enjoying
the gold standard.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
By local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous lining of the Eustach
ian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
von have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
bearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of tell are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an .uillamed condi
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars; free.
