Every American, however sUnder bis own opportunities, wants bis boy well educated, buVwhen that son has received the best his father osn give him, be finds every industrial avonue shut. This situation is almost wholly the outgrowth of the past four years’ fostering care of protective monopo lies that now dominate the ooontry. ij A bright hope and a remedy is found in the new votes. Each fonr years produces one million young men who oast their first votes fur presidential electors. The young man of this hour who votes for tbs first time, wields the balance of power. Do you realizs what is In the imme diate future? All the railroads, steam and electric, will soon bs united into one great trust. Let me illustrate what that will mean; The other day a committee from the Central Labor Union came to tee me in this room, and f casually mentioned the good serviceßhe public was receiving from the Metropolitan Trac'ion company— because I did not consider it a trust. “But it practically controls every traction line on Manhattan Island,” replied the chairman of the commit tee. “If any one of its men should lose bis plaoe he would have to leave New York if he continued in the bust ness, beoause there is oo other com- pany to him.

Twenty.five hundred decent American oitfzsns have been killed in action or disease In that miserable cotiutry since our invasion ; two thousand more have beisn-wounded, many of whom will not recover in that deadly climate. Our expenditure of money for thi* impel iai pipe-dream already exceeds $183,000,- GOO! I'd like to ask haw many years of this kiud of book-keepioghh ' the debit side will be nrejssary to show a , , ' ' -* - ,v - . profit on our original f2o,opQ,oqo pV vestmenti' I have grown very tired of he<W|gj! talk from people who are. png wale of the utter abseooe of reliable informs ■ -• - TV-' tion about the Philippines. We don’t even kn-w their area. The.highest geqgrsi J experts cannot agree within lo.yOO square miles. Qne places it at 100,000 square miles, and another positively name 140,000. I don’t care wruuh is right, because 1 know that Arizona has 113,000 square milei, New Mexioo ISY.OOO, and that Alaska ie Treflitea with 649,000, Surely there Is plenty of roifro for growth in these ter ritories. Aooeptfng the highest guess, the Philippine area is only one-quar ter that of Alaska! Nobody knows whether the popu'ation of the Philip pines it seven or ten ml lion. Count less islands are uuexplured. Many savage tribes exist, about which Spain knew nothing, though she had been In occupation since 1665. The largest es timated number of Europeans ever resident on the Islands, prior to our invasion, was 25,000, and this was af ter three hundred years’ rule of a Eu ropean nation. The Philippines are composed of nine large and 1,200 to 2,000 small Blinds. Nobody seems to know any more about the : number of the small Blands fhars j I. Meet of them are onU ’urge rock# In tne see. After el), we haven't ac quired anything worth holding, nod ere retaining something cottier prof itable nor useful to us, at a terrible loss of life and money. It was a great bargain for Spain to throw off the burden of 800 yevrs of warfare. Ooe word more about “the advan tages of Philippine commeroe,” Our total export trade with tbe entire world in the fleoal year ending June 80th last was $1,394,000,000. Of this, $2,640,000 went to the Philippine Is lands, or one-fifth, of one per centl Figuring the profit of these exports at temper cstit, qur oommsree was btAr art!ted exactly |2j|4,eooUs a sation fbi our? expenditure of SISS,- 000,000. Seriously, It is the greatest farce of all modern history. Richard- Crokkb . SHORT ON COAL.
