Every American, however sUnder

well educated, buVwhen that son has

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

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

I have grown very tired of he<W|gj!
talk from people who are. png wale of
the utter abseooe of reliable informs

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#

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

Will Not AcceJK.
Hazleton, Sopt. 28.—The proposal of
the strikers to resume work on the basis
of an increase in wages of 10 per .cent
will not be accepted by President Mitch
ell and his advisors. The alleged rea
son for this refusal to come to terms is
that he fears to be led into a trap. The
real motive, however, is that he antici
pates that the operators will not hold
out much longer.
No Collieries Working,
Sbenand jab, Sept. 28.—Not a colliery
north of Broad mountain is working
today. The employes of the Potes Col
