But one-eigtth of an iceburg is above
water. How like icebergs Payne, Mach
en, Beavers & Co., must feel these days.
The producers of agricultural machi
nery claim that they are being ruined by
thirty-three trusts. And yet the sacred
tariff schedules most not be touched.
Tne only error in the reports of cer
tain papers regarding the deliberations
of the senate sub-committee which is to
draft a financial bill, is that they are un
true.
It would be so convenient for Senator
Hanna to have a man in the White
House next session who bad to look to
the Ohio boss for the endorsement of
that state.
There is as much nutriment in a
pound ot wheat flour costing 3 cents as
in a three and a halt quarts of oysters
costing $1.26—but "man cannot live by
bread alone."
THE UNVARNISHED TRUTH.
Commissioner Ware has received from a veteran of the mvU war an ap
plication for a pension on account of disabilities incurred in the Hhe of duty,
but the applicant does not hesitate to tell the truth'about the claims he has on
the nation’s gratitude, aDd his right to be placed on the pennon roll. When
rf quested by the Pension Bureau to specify the circumstances ^nder which
he incurred physical disabilities, he forwarded to Washington the foUowing
explanation :
-The way 1 got my war ingery was a ketebn of a hog. The Hog war a
sow bog and nr captain wanted her for forege. We was chasin the sow, and
she crawled threw a hoal in a rale fence. It war a big hoal, and I thot I war
about the sis of the hog, and tried to crawl threw, but I *tuk and trin’ to
wigle ont I throde the rales off and one hit me on my hed and nocked me
senseless. I do not think the sow pig had nothing to do with my line of duty,
for I did not kech the hog. Wich she never war cant."
An f xohange says Commissioner Ware should grant the applicant a pen
sion if for no other reason than that he is a truthful man, and scorned to write
a hair-raising atory r« presenting himself as a hero who, despite many wounds,
carried the flag over the enemy’s works and in the mouths of flamlDgcannou.
Instead of informing the Pension Bnrean that he had been rendered hors du
combat in a potato patch by a fenoe rail falling on his devoted and patriotic
head, he conld just as easily have said that in the fierce band to hand fighting
at the "Bloody Angle,” a Confederate of giant size fractured the applicant's
skull by striking him a terrible blow with the butt of a musket and that his
comrades had left him for dead on the field of battle. Such a story would
have appealed with much more force to the sympathy of the Pension Bureau
than his simple, yet graphic, account of the injury he received while chasing
a female hog through a rail fence. The truth and candor of the applicant as
well as the fact that he was injured while attempting to obey the orders of
his superior officer and supply >ome fresh pork for that geutleman’s mess, en
titles his application for a pension to gracious consideration, and we hope it i^
will be gi anted.
Postmaster General Payne's scandal
will not down and he is trying to pat
the blame on First Assistant Postmaster
General Wynne. That is where the
blame lelongs—if refusing to permit the
continuance of a carnival of thievery is
blameworthy.
It may be true that Senator Hanna
does not want the presidency. It msy
also be true that Mr. Hanna does not
want any man to be president who is
not bound hand and foot to the Ohio
boss. History is apt to repeat itself and
the future can only be jndged by the
p a«t.
If the nnexpurgated report of Forth
Assistant Postmaster General Bristow
Is ever made pnblio there will be a
clamor for the prosecution and oonvict-
lon of some postal offloials. If those of
ficials are ever prosecuted they will, In
their defense, blacken the reputation of
some of the moat influential and best
known men in the republican party.
Will the president have the moral oour-
ageto make Briaton’s report pnblio?
Payne dearly has not.

ORGANIZED LABOR.
THE GREAT MUSCLE

What is CASTORIA
Castoria is a harmless substitute for Castor Oil, Pare
goric, I>r<ips and Soothing Syrups. It is Pleasant. It
contains neither Opium, Morphine nor other Narcotic
substance. Its age is its guarantee. It destroys Worms
and allays Feverishness. It cures Diorrltasa and Wind
Colic. It relieves Teething Troubles, cures Constipation
and Flatulency. It assimilates the Food, regulates the
Stomaeli ami Bowels, giving healthy and natural sleep.

GENUINE CASTORIA ALWAYS

RGANIZED LABOR IS PARTICULARLY DENUNCIATORY
OF TRUSTS, BUT WHAT GREATER TRUST IS THERE
THAN ITSELF? IT IS THE GRAND TRUST OF THE
TIMES. IT IS THE MUSCLE TRUST, THE TRUST OF
MEN WHO MAKE THEIR LIVING BY MANUAL LABOR.
It is to l>e hoped that, in accordance with the
Nelson amendment to the department of commerco
bill, the government, in turning the searchlight of publicity on
the trusts, will not forget organized labor. If any institution needs
to be exposed to the limelight, it is certainly trades unionism. But
it is not only a trust itself; it is a creator of other trusts—of cap
italistic trusts^As^diiiyigjipjbid /pppy WWbVXfION°

MIGHT BE MORE EFFECTIVELY DEALT WITH.

Organized labor is not only seeking to absorb with its tentacles
all the manual workers of the cities and factories, hut it is also
reaching out to take in the farm laborers. I. nions of the latter arc
reported to be rapidly growing in Illinois and Indiana. It is also
stated that they are preparing to exact double the wages hereto
fore paid for this class of labor. If a compact organization of
farm hands could be formed, a very serious problem would con
front not only the farmers, hut the entire country. There can be
no doubt that such an organization would demand, with all the
unreasonableness of ignorance, a wage scale that would greatly en
hance the cost of living to each and every one and would in all
likelihood bring about the ruin of onr immense export trade in
grain and flour.
ORGANIZED LABOR AND THE SOCIALIST PARTY DIFFER IN
ONE ESSENTIAL RESPECT. THE FORMER SEEKS TO BRING
ABOUT SOCIALISM BY FORCIBLE METHODS, AND THE LATTER
SEEKS THE SAME END THROUGH THE BALLOT BOX.
Its attempts to compel the shortening of tin; hours of labor
without regard to the effect on industrial welfare, its dictation of
uniform wage scales, which place the indolent and inapt on the
same footing with energy and capability, and the absolute power
it arrogates to itself over the individual on the theory that the
individual has no rights which the many need respect, are all car
dinal principles of socialism. SOCIALISM IS A DENIAL OF
(INDIVIDUAL AND PROPERTY RIGHTS, AND SO, ALSO,
IS TRADES UNIONISM WHEN REDUCED TO ITS LAST
'ANALYSIS.
