THE ROBBERS SQUEAL.
The Her*Bi>aper Are l.earnlnn Some
tliiiiK About Truuta.
There is a merry war between the
newspapers and the paper trust The
latter controls the paper mills, and
their raw material is protected by a
high tariff, so they can squeeze the
publishers according to their own will,
and they are doing it too The publish
ers don't like to be squeezed and are
kicking vigorously They say the tariff
must come off print paper and wood
pulp, because it isn't needed, and they
prove this by showing that the trust
oan sell paper abroad in competition
with foreign manufacturers. The same
argument will apply to iron and steel
goods, wooden ware, agricultural ma
chinery, wagons, carriages and most all
goods manufactured in this country
If tlie tariff is abolished on wood pulp
and paper, it ought also to bo taken off
a thousand other things The tariff
complained of by the newspaper men
robs the publishers, and the tariff on
other articles robs everybody If one is
killed, all of them should be killed.
The whole thing is a system of high
way robbery which has been advocated
and fastened on us by the same fellows
that are now squealing the loudest
They were first paid for thoir treachery
in money, and now they are being paid
again in ruin They deserve what they
are getting now because it is right that
their own invention should come home
to them They combined for hire to rob
the people, and now they have been
caught in the gearing of their own rob
bing machine. We are glad of it We
hope there will be no change in the
tariff Another twist of the screw will
bankrupt some of the biggest papers in
the country, and that would be the
very best thing for humanity that could
possibly happen We little fellows suf
fer also, but we are willing to suffer a
little if we can see the men that robbed
us suffer a good deal No trust could
ver hurt any of us if it were not pro
tected by the robber tariff. —Omaha

How Stock* Are Wntered.
The watering of railroad stocks is
known by all to exist, but just how it
is done or why it is done is yet an enig
ma to many people We will try to an
swer both questions in tho simplest
manner possible Let us take tho fol
lowing simple illustration
“Jones, Smith and Brown organize a
railroad company and build and oquip
a road. Let us suppose it costs them
$50,000 They begin operations, and at
the end of the year they tiud they have
•cleared $35,000, or 50 per cent of the
actual cost of the road Now, should
the news reach the public what the
•company is making on their investment
complaints would soon be heard that
freight and passenger rates are too high
To throw the public off their guard and
to make it appear that freight charges
are not too high—that is to say, to
make the people believe that the per
cent age of profit is not too large, the
company issues $50,000 worth of stock
This costs nothing more than the blank
paper and the printing It now appears
that the road costs SIOO,OOO, while, in
fact, it only costs $50,000, but the per
centage of profit is now only 35 per cent
instead of 50 per cent But 25 pel cent
is too much, so the company issues
SIOO,OOO more of stock Now the fig
ures on the company's books would
make it indicate that the road had ac
tually cost $200,000 and that the profit
of $25,000 is only per cent on the
investment Again, they issue $200,000
Euore stock, and that reduces their per
centage of profit to only 6if percent
And so it is continued until it seems to
be a losing game, while the facts are
that the company is still reaping 50 per
cent profit on the money actually in
vested Some roads that cost actually
less than SIO,OOO per mile are trying to
pay dividends on SIOO,OOO per mile
That system is what is known as rob
bing by law The law permits it, nnd
enterprising men take advantage of it

NEW LINE TO PENSACOLA.
ljcutsville anil Nashville Begins Work
on Another Gap Road.
Birmingham, Ala., March 15—Re
cently the Louisville and Nashville rail
road began the construction of a 40-mile
gap of road between Piue. Apple and
Repton, Ala., which, when completed,
will give it a direct line from Selma to
Pensacola, Fia.
It is now learned that the same com
pany has just put surveyors in the field
between Selma and Yolande, at the ter
minus of the Brookwood branch of the
Birmingham terminal, which is con
trolled by the Louisville and Nashville,
with a view of completing the new line
to Birmingham, thus giving it a straight
route from Birmingham to Pensacola
via Selma and Repton.
This will open up a splendid country
and also afford the Louisville and Nash
ville two lines to Pensacola, which, it is
evident, will be needed iu the near fu
ture to handle its rapidly growing ex
port coal and iron shipments which go
through Pensacola. It is understood
that the completion of the uew line will
be undertaken at once.
Stop It.
We are getting a multitudinousness
of reform parties. At a low estimate
there must be a score of them The lat
est was started by farmers in Fulton.
McDonough, Warren aud other coun
ties in Illinois, who are arranging to
call a convention to organize a national
farmer’s party
A convention is to be held at Cincin
nati to nationalize the Union Reform
party of Ohio.
Our friend Colonel Norton and Clark
Erwin of the Chicago Express are preg
nant with a call for another convention
which may result in another party or
ganization
Erie, Pa., has a “municipal owner
ship party." the socialists have three
of their own aud the middle of the
road Populists are antagonizing the reg
ular organization ty having a ticket in
the field for next year’s presidential
election
Many other sporadic reform move
ments are going on in various parts of
the country.
Now, what’s the use?
Is not one reform party enough ?
Why not all turn in and join the regu
lar organization and see that the right
kind of delegates are elected.
There is time enough to kick over the
traces if the national convention goes
wrong And this paper and its editor
will be one of the first kickers in that
case. —Milwaukee (Wia.) Advance.

Do Away With the Necessity.
The New York Herald boasts that
New Yorkers spent $25,000,000 in
charity during 1808. Laying aside the
question of why such a tremendous out
lay was necessary in the midst of such
boasted prosperity, we come to the
question, When will some great city
beast that it did not find it necessary
to spend a dollar for charity, its people
being employed at living wages? While
we are congratulating ourselves that
charity is provided in abundance let us
not forget that it is our duty to strive
for that condition when charity will
not be needed. —Omaha World-Herald.

Meaning of “Expansion.”
An administration organ is authority
for the statement that American capital
is rushing into Cuba and that “the
syndicates are forming to control this,
that and the other industry ” After
enumerating a formidable list of indus
tries that the syndicates have now or
soon will have under absolute control,
the organ continues “The latest effort
is to secure control of the tobacco fac
tories, along with great areas of tobacco
lands. ’’ Here we have the meat in the
cocoanut. This is the true meaning and
purpose of the so called “expansion.’
Having exploited nearly everything at
home, the trusts are reaching out for
fresh fields to conquer Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines will soon be
within their grasp Labor is unorgan
ized and dirt cheap in all the islands,
and there is nothing to prevent the
manipulators of the trusts doing with it
as they will. When they realize the ef
fects of competition with the products
of this class of labor, American work
ingmen will learn that there is nothing
in this expansion humbug for them "
