For President, WM. J. BHYAK, of Nebraska War Vice President, ADL.U E. STEVENSON of Illinois Tub Oiegoniun says all the Hough Riders fire auxiout) to go to China to fight. No, not all, Harvey. Teddy wants the job of herding monopoly's lawmakers in the Unite:! States senate. If, says tho St. Louis Republic, tho rariouB socialistic organizations outside the democratic party and the-ftision pop ulists could he combined into one party with the support of the more than a million union workingtnen, it would im mediately become a formidable factor in national politics, controlling some states and with the balance of power in many others, Such a party is not an impos sibility, but even a probability, before the campaign of 1904, Tub wealth of workers per capita in 1S50 was $'.'39.50; the nealth of workers per capiu In 1900 was $184; tho wealth of non-workers per capita in 1850 was $1,293; the wealth of non-workers per eapita in 1900 was $8,085. The wealth of the non-workers per capita has de creased $55.50 in 40 years. This is why it is so often remarked that "the rich are growing richer and the poor are growing poorer." Onr aim in the organization of tr tints, tifton tho chief aim, is the fleecing of in vestors of ti.eir savings through playing on their cupidity and templing them to buy watered and worthless securities With this kopt in mind, much will be clear that must otherwise be dark. The (leecingot investors is a,much the ob ject of trust promoters as the fleecing of consumers through the charging of mo nopoly prices or the fleecing of wage earners through the forcing down of wages. 8o Mohkton Frkwbn, one of the high- tut English authorities on finance and economics, in speaking of the prevailing famine in India, Bays: "What India needs Is not the shipment of grain, for this iu plentiful In other districts, . in spite of tho drouth. What India needs is money to buy this grain." Three mil lion of tho wretched natives have already died of hunger because the food they have wrested from mother nature is in other liaiuR They die like (lies for lack of money to buy back what they have produced. That is capitalism cariied to u I'oncluuion, Tiikhk was a time when the republican party put its tniBt in the people. Since then it has put the people In its trusts. There was a time when ils standards were loll y and ennobling.. Its only stun ilar J now is the Standard Oil. There was a time when its ideals shone forth iike precious gems through the dust and heat of pttrty strife. Now, its ideals are the party machine and the party cam paign fund. Its battle cry years ago was "Freedom and the Union," If credit be jiven to one of its modern leaders, its motto for 1901 Is "Gold and Glory." It in a far cry from the raging tocsin of I860 to the buccaneer refrain of 19W; yet it well typifies the shameful transforma tion. To URiVD the republican papers, one aould almost believe that Roosevelt was the nominee for president. McKinley is placed in the background, while Teddy is brought forward on all occasions. It looks like an attempt to cover up the rotten administration of llanna with the ar record of Roosevelt. But it is well not to lose sigtit of the fact that Teddy's vote in his own state fell considerably short of McKinley ' vote two years be fore. We shall see what we Bhall pee. There seems to be growing opinion among the voters of the country that we need ft statesman, and not a soldier, at the toad of the nation at this time. It will be decided in November. Mark Hanna: "Pour It In, gentleman, pour it in. Tou need us, and we need your dough !" Kansas City Time. SIXTEEN TO ONE. James D. Richardson, chairman of the democratic national convention, ilvis describes the 18 to 1 plunk of the demo cratic platform : THE SIXTEEN 1. Republic against empiie. 2. Trusts. 8. Currency reform, 4. Bimetallism. 6. The Monroe doctrine, tt. Intoroceanic canal. 7. Civil service. 8. AdmisNion of territories. 9. I'lain duty in Porto Rico. 10. War of conqnoat in Ihe Philippines 11. Government favors to banks'. 12. War department scandal. 13. Cuban postal scandals. 14. The Buers. J 5 War taxes. 16. Cost of republicanism and ' ils twin monster, imperialism. " THE ONE The man 'Onu who BtanilH like a mighty rock in the desert; who, knowing the right, will dare to do right; the typical and true Amer ican. William J. Bryan, o( Ne braska." SHOUT STOItY IN FIG CUES. The ordinary annual expenditures of the government averaged in President Harrison's term $3111,291,323. They averaged in President Cleve land's second term $300,418,264. They have averaged in President Mo Kinley's term $514,880,251. The cost of running the government is thus Been to have been increased by nearly a hundred and twenty-four mil lion dollars a year f ince McKinley was inaugurated. And this is not accounted for by the extraordinary disbursements of war, which are not included in these "ordinary expenditures." The outlay oi war is a separate matter and it accounts for the increase of the public debt by two hundred million dol lars since President McKinley's inaugu ration. The financial record of the adminis tration may therefore be Bummed up in a sentence. It has added nearly tliir teen million dollars a month to the regit' lar running expenses of the government and added $1.79 per capita to the ua tional burden of debt. N. Y, World. .4 TRUST'S COLD BLUFF. The San Francisco Call explains how the tobacco trust succeeded in bringing the Los Angolee tobacco doalers to time. The method of dictation is not limited to the tobacco trust, but is applied with varied degrees of boldness by all trusts This Is the Ca l's account of the transac tion : " 'I'll give you just 15 minutes to stop the sale of all outside tobacco and ban die only the goods of the American To bacco Company, said Herman Heyne man, of this city, as he faced the tobacco dealers of Los Angeles at a meeting in that City a few days ago. "Coolly pulling out his watch, Heyne man noted the time, and, laying his timepiece on tho table, proceeded to ex plain his position more fully. '"We want you to handle our goods, and I haven't the time to argue the question with you. If you do not agree At once to do eo, all that I have to say is that I have a carload of goods here and 35 men to sell them. If you do not agreo within 15 minutes to handle our goods exclusively, I'll set those men to work and cut prices 50 per cent.' "And the bluff worked. The dealers came to time before the 15 minutes ex pired and entered into an agreement to handle exclusively the goods of the American Tobacco Company, which Mr. Heyneman represents." THE COST OF WAIi. On March 11 last the World stated in its news columns that tho war with Spain and the Filipinos by the end of this month would cost this country the great sum of $424,814,500. We now have the ollkial figures fur nished by Senator Allison and Mr. Can- nou in behalf of the aenata and house apt ropriations committees. It turns out that ihe World nndei estimated the tiuth. The cost of these wars at the eud of the fi"cal year, June 30, will be $482, 502,083. ' The World estimated that tho cost of the Filipino war for 1901 would lie $125, 0iH),003. This also was an underesti mate. The coBt of the war in 1901, it is sa:d by the committed on appropriations, will b $131,247,15"), and this is given as a ''permanent annual appropriation." By Ihe end of the fiscal year 1901 the country will have expended in freeing Cuba from Spain, in taking Porto Rico and in seizing the Philippines, the Bum of $(113,809,238. In addition we must count as part of the cost the violation of our plighted word, the denial of the Declaration of Independence and the constitution, our departure from repub- ican traditions, our disappearance as a peace power, our assumption of the role of injustice and despotism, the lives and health of American soldiers and the shame of the Cuban postal scandals. N. Y. World. WHO HAS THE WEALTH. One per cent of the population of this country own more than half of the wealth of Ihe nation. Three families in New York city have in their possession wealth enough to build a line of cottages costing a ihou eand ilollars each long enough to reach around the world. In 1896 the New York Tribune pub lished a list of 4097 millionaires with over ten billions of weallh. Today they own not loss than twelve billions, or one sixth of the total wealth oi the nation. We produce in a year no less than twenty to twenty-five billion dollars' worth of wealth. One-fifth of this goes to the wealth producers, two-fifths to capital and two-filths to trie idle capital ists. In 1899 the Carnegie Steel Company, with a capital paid in of twenty mil lions, made a net profit of twenty-one millions, or over a hundred per cent. The profit for this year is estimated to be forty millions, Tho present value of the company is over two hundred mil lions. The capital stock of the Standard Oil Company is a little over ninety-seven millions. A short time ago th6 regular quarterly dividend was paid, and also a special cash dividend of seventeen mil lions. Tho tock of thi& great trust is quoted at (583 per share, or at a valua tion of more than five hundred and Beventy-fhe millions. Seventy families in this country have an average wealth of forty million dol lars, Six men in New York city ubsolulely control sixty thousa id miles of railroad. Fifty families in this nation absolutely control the entire commerce of the na tion. Two men, Miller and Lux, of Califor u.a, own fourteen million acres ot land on the Pacific coast. The Astor family owns six hundied million dollars' worth of real estate in New York city. The plutocratic class, numbering, ac cording to Thomas G. Shearman, 192,000 families, has an average wealth of $233,. 000 and a total wealth of $43,367,000,000 One hundred thousand people own nearly all the land in Great Britain and three fourths of all the wealth of the nation. V ABIES OF THE KA1L-1I. A young man was going to Chicago to get married, and he rode in the sleeping car so that he would be nice and fresh for the ceremony next day. But he was unable to sleep, end when the young woman saw his red eyes and what a gen eral wreck he was, she thought he had accumulated a jag and refused to marry him, whereat he got his picture in the paper for being dead. Moral Always go to Chicago via the North-Western Line and you will sleep like a brick and be as fresh as a daisy when you arrive. (Continued from pago 1.)
