" There should be a "feast of reason
- and a'flow of eoal" in the rejoicing
.among the holders of corporation
- dttooks in New York because of the
oorruous dividends on watered stooks
and yet the "tock olders re blaming
President Taftor issueing reoe
Clonal statements of what he is coins
? to do. with the trusts and thereby
-brtoglug about 'a decline ir 6tocks,
when on tbe '2Stb inst the' leaders
Stroke ftoan three to seven joints I
- la censequenoe, the bankers, who
probably in light of such decline are
busily feathering there own rests,
are not letting money o"t on socb
.securities as collateral and there may
ice farther breaks.
But, in view of the amount ot divi
dends declated, the stock-holders are
ueedlesaly alarmed.
For instance the U. S. Steel Cor
poration, bad as earnings, more
boo-atlv call-d stealing, during the
vear 1909, the euormcus amount cf
$131,479,975. The reord year of the
corporation was 1907. with camions
A $160,946,673. Since ita orcinizafioo
in April 1901. tbe corporation has
earned 1.071,720.1)15.
Just think of it! ThHt corporation
alone filching from tbe American peo
ple in nine years over oue-billioo
dollars!
Do you now that this vsHt sum is
equal to one third tbe entire cost of
. tbe war ot tbe rebellion to tis Na
tion? And iu spite of all denial it goes
(Principally into the bands of a few
aitn namely John D. Rockefeller J,
Pierpont Morgan, Andrew Carnegie,
tbe Flicks. Thaws, Coteys. and others
of lesser note, but of shameless im
morality? But this is not all there is to tbis
interesting picture!
The corporations all report a vear
of most unparalleled "prosperity" and
this, too. iu tbe face of time wbeo
tbe increased cost of living, with no
corresponding increase of wages is
-bringing a storm of protests that
promises dire disaster to tbe party in
power, and which unmistakably and
undeuiably is directly respooisble
for these conditions. Such being tbe
case it now stands the republican
party in hard to apply corrective
jifeaourea at once, or it must suffer
irretrievable defeat. The day of the
atacd patter, and tbe bitter partisan
in these parlous time is past I
It is now known tbat tbe January
dividends in stocks of nearly all the
.great corporations of tbe coonry have
eeu reported as tbe largest.on record
t:JJi, o:W,G02. but if the present pros
perity continues the next July divi
dends will be quite asjarge if n"t
larger.
Tbe total dividends aod interest
paid ty 1&0 of the most: prominent
iailroada, traction companies, tanks
jtod industrial corporations during
the mouth amounted to 1202 G.f2,00i an
increase of 119,773,496 above Ui semi
annual dividends and internets paid
by the same oompaoiee in January,

This total does not include thous
ands ;of smaller firms and oorpora
tious'in New York, which undoubtedly
. paid an equal amount, nor throeands
of noroorations in other part of the
country, which are just as prosperous'
and have enjoyed similar proms.

A trust writer in discussing these

knavely, says few people realize tbe

There is food for great thought in
these figures, and there is no ques

bring about their own downfall ; and
in this connection there is a good

A CRUEL JEST.
At Cleveland, O., aome time ago. this
advertisement up it a red in the newspa
pers: WANTED. Two hundred laborers and
toamater Immolletelv. Wagea $I.M per
day. Aprly D. K. HHOWN. The Hollen
den. Mr. Hrown was assistant superln
tendont of the Crucible Steel company
of Pittsburg. Ho bad just teen mar
ried. The newspaper account goes on to
say:
"In blissful tiiH'onsk'iousuefis of the
trouble In store for him Mr. Nrown
opened the door and was preeted by a
delegation of teamsters and laborers
who wanted work. He told them there
must be some mistake.
"Downstairs he was stormed by 200
more, racking his grip, be and his
bride fled from tbe hotel. Friends of
humorous Instincts had perpetrated the
Joke and got much enjoyment out of
Mr. Brown's discomfiture."
- Aa to the tatter expression no doubt.
.Mr. Brown's friends were plainly of
that sort who wonld get much enjoy
ment out of that gentleman's discomfi
ture regardless of the feelings of oth
ers. But
.What of the two or three hundred
worklngmen so cruelly fooled to make
a holiday for the friends of Mr. Brown?
These men were looking for employ
ment and needing work.
Whn knows? Short mpala rnnv hutre
Jjoe.n enten Jn laborers' homes because
or tne disappointment, lue cruel oe
luslon may have blasted the hopes for
a little money to pay on rent to Bare
erlctlon or on pressing hills. Who
knows?
It Is no Joke to be looking for work
and W turned nway.
It is Just such wealthy snobs as
these friends of Mr. Brown who by
their callous feeling for the working
man, by their Indifference for and con
tempt of the welfare of houest work
ing people It Is these Gnlllos. who
care not. who are widening the breach
letween capital nnd labor.
When decent, deserving, calloused
handed laborers enn lie cruelly used to
point the Jests and adorn the practical
Jokes of rich youiiR lnznronl such an
episode becomes a social tragedy.
How one wishes some of those big
fisted worklngtnen might have located
the perpetrators of the Joke!

Up to the present time there has been
only one foreign firm here dealing In
