HARPER'S WEEKLY SEES DANGER
AHEAD AND CALLS AT
TENTION TO IT.
But, Witb all that Has Bees Written
and Said, the Trusts Con
tinue to Multiply.
In "Harper's Weekly" of March
2r, the leading editorial is entitled
"I rusts and Socialism ; and it pro
rceda without apology or hesitation
to declare that the timo is emtio to
Consider trusts seriously. "Never
before in tho history of the country
nave so many powerful eomlu
nations of corporations and capital
been brought into existence-. It is
safo to say that the manufacture and
8alo of nearly every article of com
mon need and convenience arc con
trolled by a trust, as transportation
is largely, and as labor is almost en
tirelv," These sentences are from
the leading editorial of one of the
most influential of New l ork pubii
cations. In a political organ, or out
of the mouth of a malcontent or an
sgitator they would not weigh so
much. Hut from a reputable, in
dependent publication, in tho homo
ot trusts, and taken together with
tho editorial in the commercial
journal which wo recently quoted,
tne amrm mat provoked it is Hope
ful to a great degree. The North,
the homo of capital and cf trusts, is
being arouse J to the danger ; and in
no uncertain tones. The "Weekly"
goes on to say that tho tendency of
trusts is not so much simply to work
hardships or to corrupt legislation,
but that it is, by reason of doing
theso things, toward the danger
which uc locijueville pointed out,
namely "that the democracy which
has annihilated the feudal system,
and vanquished Kings," will come
to that extreme in which it will
arise in its tiMiucstioncJ power and
overthrow and overrun the eiti.en
and the capitalist. I'ndeibtand that
sentence: It means that trusts are
in danger of so oppressing or wrong
ing the people, bv restiaming trade
or shaping legislation or evading
laws, that the people will go to the
txtrme not only of overthrowing
the truts, but of confiscating wealth
in the name of Socialism. That
editorial proclaims that trusts give
forth the miasma in which Mic
germs of Socialism multiply moct
rapidly ; that trusts are the best
bretdeis of Socialism and o an
archy it might have added ; that
editorial tells capital that it is its
worst enemy when it invests in a
trust ; it tells the man of wealth
that the modern trust is the chief
enemy of his hopes. And the edi
torial is very sanely eonce'-'nJ. Its
author is no extremist. Ileda.-e to
say, ae no demaoogus would, that
"there is no valid argument against
trusts if they stick to their proper
work, do that work honestly, treat
the individual justly, and keep
corrupting hands oil politics ;"' and
that "what we need more than laws
which restrict and prevent tho
formation of trusts are laws and
courts that will hold them to a high
standard of honor, that will prevent
misuse of their power, and that will
especially prevent their opprebn
oi individual competitors." That
is sound, but hard to bring to pass.
And so surely as our Government
is so constiucted that ultimately the
people rule, the modern trust, grasp
ing and greedy, oppressive and
powerful, evading laws and destroy
ing legislation, will come to a hard
end ; whether in a tornado of social
ism or in the processes of legislatures
and courts, depends upon which
shall be necessary. We would ad
vise every man who owna trust
stock to sell while he ran. A day
of wrath is coming. Hiblical lie

A lioston, Mwf., dispatch says
the anti imperialists met in Tremont

in remonstrance against the Philip

sided, outlining the attitude of the
society against the acquisition of the
islands by conquest. Kx-liovernor

calling for the re-enthronement of
truths embodied in the Declaration
of Independence; that these truths
be given e foremost place in he
hearts of the people and the policy

a distinct disavowal be demanded
against the United States adopting
the colonial policy of Great I'ntain.

Glimpse at the Character of Filipinos
The testimony of Admiral Dewey
as to the superiority of the Filipinos
to the Cubans is not to be disregard
ed. lie knows both. Take Luzon.
Nearly all the inhabitants have some
education, which can not be even
hinted at in many sections in the
United Str'es. Alost can read and
write, and could read their ballots
or a constitution if they had one,
A Spanish editor, living at Manila,
honor Mora, writes that "they have
the rudiments of religion and
morality, and show a full capacity
t o acq n i re ' t h a t ge n e ra 1 1 i n t o f s u per
hcial culture which is all that the
great mass of lain. ring people can
aspiro to anywhere in the world.
Tho nativo Filipino din's nut know
tho vice of blasphemy; 'he is not
ordinarily oWene ; he is not quarrel
some ; lie is rcspecttnl to those who
display authority ; he is docile and
obedient, although he is weak and
remiss in tho performance- of his
duties ; he bears his punishment and
believes it to bo just when hu is
guilty of a fault; but ho becomes
irritated if personally insulted, and
he awaits with rancor and in cold
blood tho moment to avenge out
rages done his person or his family.'
He likes, says tho senor, very
much to pass hours in sloth and idle
ness, lie is fond of feists and
pilgrimages, of play and betting,
ana spends easily for a day's sport
that which has cost him a month's
hard labor."
Ho is very conceited, a racial de
fect, and is very impressionable. He
is nervous, excitable and imagina
tive. He is inclined to be religious,
and is ojen to superstition. Hut
this applies to the lower and least
educated. Senor Mora says that
"tho enlightened classes are free
from such supeistition. 1 heir in
struction and education and their
contact with itersoiis of culture
invigorato tho intelligence and give
them greater will Kiwer.
It must also be remeintX'red that
this weakness of the Malay race is
but rarely exhibited by the multi
tude, and only when it is excited
and exploited by fools or rascals."
He Ix ars witness to the "simple
and peaceful habits" of most ot the
rilipinos, and says they are really
"delerential to their elders and
superiors; very oljediunt and sub
missive to authority ; hospitable,
charitable and religions ; a great
over of the church and of her
ministers; and the enemy of tumults
arid revolts." Now that is a very
good indorsement as a whole, and
gives character to the people who
iiave been driven into revolt and
have so biavely fought for lilnirty
at'd independence against a boastful
country forever prating of equality,

Aguinaldo Supplanted by Luna.
Manila, April V There are per
sietent rumors today that Aguinal
do, the insurgent leader, has been
supplanted in the control of Filipino
afUira by General Antonio Luna,
commander in-chief of the Filipino
forces. Luna, is descnlied as lieing
typical belligerent.
The proclamation of the United
States Philippine Conmiieeion was
posted in the streets, printed in Eng
lish, Spanish and Tagoh g to-day.
It was also distributed in the outside
towns as far as Malolos, and hit- lccn
received with marked attintion by
the natives generally, and has been
approved by a number of represent
ative ManiUris.
Knglieh bankers who have been
interviewed on the su' j ct are op
timistic upon the attitude of the
Americans, assuming that it indi
cates that the decisive policy will
undoubtedly lie successful.
A Spanish banker, who was in
terviewed, expressed the opinion
that the proclamation will not reach
the masses controlling the relxsllion
because, he explained, the Filipinos
at Manila are unotly domestic and
cletks who have no definite opinions
and the wirepullers outside of the
city have undoubtedly intcrcrpud
it. The editor cf Oceania thinks
the proclama'ion is the m st politic
di.-Miment ever publish d in the
Phi.ippine inland and that it is
bound to convince the wavering of
the tolly of further hostilities.
An Knglieh merchant as the
first clause, -ith reference to the
establishment and maintenance of
American sovereignty and warning
the rebels, shonld settle the qtiestiou
:n the mind of every thinking Fili
pino. A Scotch ship owner thinks
it does not leave anv further doubt
as to the policy of thejited States
and that, consequently, Agninaldo
must submit to the inevitable, as
the continuance of hostilities is op
Ped to the beet interest of the

An Orphan's Acre.
We want to make a suggestion to
our fanner frionds and readers
Merely a suggestion and wo leave
you to act according to your own
sense of duty. It is just this : That
you select this year a rich spot on
your farm, plant it in what you
think can be raised most profitably,
tend it carefully and conscientious
ly and send tne prococds or the
produce to aid in the support of the
two hundred and fifteen orphan
boys and girls in the Oxford Orphan
Asylum, or the children in some
other orphanage in North Carolina.
This is done in other states and I
know the farmers in onr own stato
are as charitably inclined as any
that tho sun shines upon.
We arc all wholly dependent
upon our Heavenly Father for food,
for raiment and for all the blessings
of life for life itself. From Hi in
most come tho sunshine, tho rain,
tho fruitful season, the abundant
harvest. It is from His bounty that
all must bo fed.
Vou could not bestow vour lov
ing labor where it would yield a
greater harvest of redeemed lives,
than by following our suggestion.
If yon could get your son interest
ed In this "orphans' acre," it would
teach him a valuable lesson of un
selfishness, of generosity and of
servico to others. In the sweat of
your brow yon toil hard for your
own loved ones. Mav you always
be given the strength and the op
portunity to provide for them. Put
never overlook these little, un
fortunate children, bereft of father, of
homo, of support, dependent upon
onr charity. Feeding an orphan
ild will never take bread from
the mouths sf your fanrly. We
have (rod's word for that :
David declares after a long life
of varied experience and close ob
servation : "I have been youngand
now am old ; yet I have not seen
the righteous forsaken nor his seed
gging bread. He is ever merciful
and lendeth and his seed is blessed."
Solomon says : "There is that
scattereth and yet increaseth ; there
is that with'ioldeth more than is
nioet, but it tendeth to poverty."
Keau in hcclesiastes : "Cast thy
bread upon the waters, lor thou
shall find it after msny days."
Again we have the promise ;
"Blessed is he that considt-eth the
poor; the Ixird will deliver him in
timo of trouble."
Farmer friend, sit down and
think over tho prime importance
of this work for the destitute, or
han children of our state a state
iiighly favored of God in fertile s i 1
and bountiful harvests. If you give
tho matter serious consideration, I
believe you will plant this year a
littlo garden or "orphans acre.
and that, next year, if you are per
iiiitted to live, you yill plant an
other, that yon will continue the
practice from year to year ami thus
materially aid this cause in North
Carolina and be blessed in giving.

My wife has used Chamberlain's
sin Halm for rheumatism with

Looking for Trouble.
Some time stro we otioted tiom
tho American Word and Cotton lie-
porter an article predicting a finan
cial crash as a result of the trust
craze which is sweeping over the
country. We have anr quoted from
others who hold similar views, and
every ono of them, as tar as we
know, Lepnblicans. 'I he I nited
States Investor, a linancial journal,
published in lioston, takes a most
gloomy view of the outlook and at
tributes it all to the expansion and
trust manias, the twin evils and pro
genitors of disaster. Here is its hor
oscope :
"The outlook is distressing. We
lavegoneon supremely unconscious
of what we aro doing, until we have
evolved a state of allairs from which
escape is impossible without trreat
lardship. An enormous number
of water-logged business concerns.
known as trusts, have been set afloat ;
in the ftuash that is hound to come
the certificates of these organiza
tions will sell at their real value,
which means an appalling loss to
investors. The end will be hasten-
el by a diminution in the consuinp- j
live power of the country, due to
the dislocation of a great horde of j
employes whom the trusts have
ejected imm positions jirevioiisly
occupied. We cannot imagine a
worse state of affairs. "
There is nothing very cht ering in
that, but the imperialists and trust
boomers will probably call the
writer of it a dyspeptic pessimist.
Per hups he may be, but there are
others, and a good tinny of them,
who share his views, although they
may not phrase their views in the
gloomy style ho does. There is
surely wreck ahead unless a halt be
called on this expansion and trust
business. Wilmington Star,
The prophecy made by Senator
Hoar that the decadence of the
American republic would date from
the administration of President Mc

Nicaragua Trouble.
Washington, April The Navy
Department is prepared to render
speedy assistance to the American
residents in Pluetields, Nicaragua,
who are being subjected to pressure
wrongfully by the authorities there.
Acting Secretary Alien, in anticipa
tion of the coining of the delegation
from New Orleans lias just ordered
the gtinlxiat Machias, now on the
way to Key West from Livingston,
Honduras, to proceed to Plut tields
as soon as she can take coal.
Pimples, boils and htlinors show
that the blood is impure. Hood's
Sarsaparilla is the best blood puri
fier that money can buy.
