THE BUNG TOWN ECONOMIST
1 love to meet the kerned guy, tltat
interesting gink, w h o * knowledge o i the
eaeae qf things has even made inc* think; I
like to start him going and humbly step
aside while tlx* gifted economist attains
his wrlxtl stride.
'T is thnsly that at
divers times I've quaffed of W M tun's
enp, and had it made as clear as mud
why prices still go up You cannot
prove the same by me, but sagely I’ve
been told that the higher cost of living
is due to cheaper gold; that tlx* yearning
o f the yok»l to leave hist father’s farm is
fraught with dire pns tivity to do tix*
nation harm; and that the lack of system
in the kitclien is a sin which mires the
poor consumer to his weak and vapid
chin. 0 , 't is certain that the wanton
glee with which we waste and spend is
hustling th«,country to its economic end—
we must learn to chide the grocer and
wrangle o’er his xtix-k, and brave the
guileful butcher as lx* haggles at the
hlock, for the maladministration of the
kitchen goeth far to nmltiply the totals to
the nightmares that they are. And the
yearning to desert the plow is criminal,
indeed, while the growth of crops de­
pended! on tlx* sowing of the seed; and
as for gold, why Idew you! the much in­
creased supply is ixetled down at Wall
Street, and is not for yoa and I. So I
love to meet him frequent, that interest­
ing gink, and his logic so converts me
that . . . . we go and have a drink!

The Commission desires in making np

I’.tle is presented to the legislature. For
iliix reason the memlxtrx of the Commis­
si m axk that residents in different parts

any suggestion so that the Commission
may act upon them.
Suggestions are

m t TRUMP CARO IN A CROOKED DEAL

T HE fraud LONG
the American public of the benefits accruing from the
construction of the Panama canal has been discovered. The
cards are on the table—it is the old show-down of corporate
greed, devilishly clever in its devices, and the patient puzzled
public whom the guileful ways deceive—fo ra time.
Here is how they set about i t —the big transcontinental
roads, who see in the ¿opening of the canal and the passage of
American vessels free of toll, a certain slump in exhorbitant
freight rates, a pruning'down of dividends, and the general mo-
difiation of a g raft which has done morejto defraud the people,
to stifie beneficial legislation, and to stay the material progress
of the individual, than any other stench-drenched influence in
a nation reeking with corporate malodors. The proposal to
perm it—as is our right—the free passage of American vessels
through the Panama canal is declared to be a violation of the
Hay-Pauncefort treaty with England, inasmuch as it indicates
discrimination between our own and foreign vessels, against
which it is maintained the treaty provides.
It is said, and none will doubt it who have given even the
most cursory attention to the methods of capital, that Great
Britain entertained ho notion of protesting on this score, until
the silk-hatted deputations of American and ’ Canadian railway
magnates waited upon her and persuaded the beefy and belli­
cose old dame to fancy an affront and present her grievances.
If anything were lacking to prove that capital is without pat­
riotism, that red-bladed war waits at the convenience of Money­
bags & Co., it may be found in this spectacle of American
capitalists-traitorously delivering the material welfare of ninety
million countrymen to the decision of a foreign power.
As for the Panama canal: Did not we furnish forth the men
who dreamed and toiled and died for its completion? Have not
the brains and brawn of our nation, alone and unaided, solved
the problems and overcome the difficulties which appalled and
disheartened the engineers of France? The Panama canal, we
say, was dug with brain, and brawn, and gold—all ours. This
path between two continents is ours—the commerce of the
world should pay the tribute justly due our industry. The long
road dow nthe South American coast and around the storm bat­
tered Horn is as open as it was when Magellan first turned
his brow southward on the voyage ’round the world. Let
them take it who wish.
The canal is ours—the latest triumph of American achieve­
m ent Our coastwise vessels, bearing the traffic of this nation
should pass its either portal unchallenged and uncharged. As
for the debated treaty, of which we plead a large and genera
ignorance, something seems to be wrong with it.
