THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT. March 12 189b. SOME THINKING FARMERS. THEY SECURE BOOKS, PAPEES AND SPEAKERS. They Will Investigate and Then They Will all be Populists. Raymond, New-, March 6, 1806. Editob Independent: A good republi can and successful business roan remarked he bad no time to read other than Bound republican newspapers, that our volume of money was large enough, and offered a evidence the circumstance of the six hundred million of gold bid tor bonds lately by citiwns of the" United States, and said, that had time and opportunity been given the amount would have been doubled. Aaanmimr that is the fact, and in conse quence of the commercial value of gold it is being locked up, it has proven to be of all material the one from which money .hntiM not be made, for it has brought about disaster never equaled in any civilised nation before. Since the Cleveland-Sherman combine, the interest of gold bugs only have been considered as the dominant interest in this country. Such a fearful state never before did exist in any civilized coun trv. Mercantile failures are of common occurrence in consequence of shrinkage of values, manufactories have closed anu thousands have been thrown out of em ployment, who are looking for work or bogging bread, bank failures of common occurrence, those having a few dollars are afraid to deposit, railroads have gone into the hands of receivers as a rule and successful ones ore the exception, w,..,ou nr hfiinor foreclosed on the in w 1 vgua"" " - farmers and farms that were in the hands of prosperous farmers are fast passing into the hands of monied men, and former owners will soon become de tenants. City property hereto fore thought to be safe as an investment livo nn. has become valuless, street Improvements are going to decay, farm ers crops are being sold at much less than the cost of production, and the people working with all their energy can not get more than a living.

Anything is better than a foolish, fac tional fight, while the republicans are laying plans to sweep the state. The populists are holding their own, and .point with pride to the good work done in this state and nation; to the number less reforms and grand legislative measure-, inanu-nrated by the only political party of progressive and humane princi nl. but the great battle must be con tinued by educating and harmonizing ha vntani and breaking the chains of ignorance and political prejudice which hold them in oouaage w tun uiu par woo.

It U Perhaps oar Last Chance to t Igm a Battle With Ballot. General A. J. Warner, President Ameri can Bimetallic league, nasuiDgiun, u. C Pear sir: The kind invitation from yourself, Hon. 0. Miller, Hon. R. C. Cham bers and Hon. J. M. Devine to attend the conference at Washington January 22 was duly received, but other pressing en gagementa prevented my attendance at the meeting. However, I am pleased to inform you that the resolutions adopted meet my most hearty approval, and as a memDer 01 tne peopie s parvjr wiu uu . . . 1 1 1 a J everything in my power to harmonize the forces for victory this year. The exi gency of the times demand and duty to the working people require that every member of every reform element in this country make every possible enorc to unite the several divisions into one grand party and with one national ticket for all make a concerted campaign against the gold power and the national banks. I entertain strong convictions on other great national questions but I can wait longer for them to materialize into cam naisn issues than our poor desti tute working people can wan lor oreaa and shelter. I am willing to make the test and measure swords with the organ ized plutocracy with the money question for tha issue. If we cannot win on that issue this year and secure a lasting victory for the common people, then there is no reform question now in the arena of public dis cussion on which a victory can be won during the next hundred years. The perfidy of the gold power, the greed of the bond grabbers and tne crimes 01 tne administration with the' consequent suf fering of. the people have brought the money question nearer the hearts of the industrial masses than nas been any other question since the civil war. There are honest, sincere retormers in this country who believe that the rapid concentration of wealth in the bands of the few and the ever growing poverty of the masses are portentous of a sweeping victory for the people within a very few years, and that it is better to wait ior a general victory than to unite the elements and give battle to the enemy on a speci fled issue. But let it be remembered that just in proportion as the money power grows iq strength the people become weak and dependent. With dependence comes depredation, lassitude 01 moral character and laxity of vigilance, and no one underntands this result better than the irold barons. They know if they can control the money of the nation they can absorb and monopolize the indu' tries of the country and degrade the peo ple, and that a degraded people will part with the last vestige ot liberty tor trivial and temporary consideration. Slaves can never Iree themselves, ana tnereiore if I had but one thought to utter this side of the grave it would be to warn the common people of their very near ap proach to the point where their own weakness and dependence will bar the possibility of social and political recuper ation. Whenever the money power be comes stronger than tne people it win apply its arrogant lash with relentless fury and liberty will be lost until through a reiarn of terror the oppressors nave ex hausted their force in the gloom of another night. To form this union, I would not recede from nnv declaration contained in the preamble of the Knights of Labor or the Omaha platform. JNor is it necessary But in this hour of national peril, when the hosts of mammon are marshaled against the liberty and prosperity of the people it isnecessnry to centralize around the isHues that will concentrate the in dustrial forces in one united attack on the most vnnerable point of the enemy s front. To my mind the resolutions of the Washington conference referred to, contemplate just that kind ofacampaign and should command the approval and support of every lover of justice and good government.

Attacking l'cficr, The recent tirade of venemous abuse heaped upon Senator Pefler by the New York Journal was so untruthful and un called for, that even republican papers have taken ud the defense of the senior senator from Kansas. The attack seems to have been instiga ted by a Bon of the late Senator Hearst of California, a young man possessed of more monev than brains, whose lather funeral cost the government $25,000, and was among the most scandalous of the disreputable orgies conducted at the expense of the taxpayers, under the name of "funerals." It was Senator Peffer's calling attention to the abuses that had grown up under the present method of conducting funerals of con gressmen who ; die at the capitol, that affronted young Hearst and induced him 1 1 . . to turn loose a mua-sunger mi wnw up 0 lot of baseless) charges.

Editor Independent: Is it any won dor the people are floundering in ignor ance when men of the standing of the ed itor of the Louisville Courier-Journal will promulgate such trash. There is Hunter preaching free silvertoonenian and gold to another. There's Thurston fearful that the bosses are going to run the next o. p. convention. My God! Bosses! ! When was it that any one else run that that machine? But is there any hope of reform when we consider what we have to contend with? I have almost lost hope. But still I continue to kick in my weak way. - The people preler to believe men like Thurston or Waterson although they know they are false teachers, in preffer- ence to men like Weaver, Peffer, or Allen. Will it ever be thus? There must be a hereafter for these thousands of false teachers and hypo- crits. Yours to the close of the battle. H. B. Miller, Mr. Miller encloses an editorial by Henry Waterson, in which Waterson claims that it costs the government a billion dollars a day to keep the green backs in circulation. The editor of The Independent had hoped that the gold bug editors had scaled all the mountain tops of prevarication, but this statement of Waterson, sails higher into the clouds of falsification than the imagination of the liar ever reached before. Ed. Ind. A Broad and Just Man. Nebraska populists will go into the national convention with 51 votes for their able senator W. V. Allen. We be lieve that with the large following he has in the western states he can have the nomination for president, and every day of his campaign will see thousands of votes flock to him.

( M0EE NEW EECEUITS. A Meeting at Waverly Causes Them to Declare Themselves. G.W. Berge of Lincoln Ably Presents the Canse of Silver. Wavebly, Neb., March 8, 1896. Editor Independent: A large audi ence gathered at the Waverly hall, Fri day evening Marcn o, to near a joint discusions between J. F. Dale, an adher ent of Grover Cleveland, and our populist exponent G. W. Berge. Mr. Dale form erly was a populist, but the object lessons Clevland nas been giving the country, by issuing bonds, etc., assisted by such populists as "Dollars or What?" with the emphasis on the latter word meaning "dollars for the rich," wrought a change in bim, the repub licans of the politician stripe pat him on the back as they think by so doing to down the pou lists, but populist principles don't down, espec ially under the able leadership of G. W. Berge of Lincoln, who has more pa triotism burning within his soul than to compare this great productivecountry of ours with that of Mexico. Mr Berge in an eloquent and forcible manner fairly rid dled ths arguments of Mr. Dale and de monstrated clearly to the satisfaction of the audience that the present depression and hard times can be traced directly to vicious monetary legislation, and that our mints must again be opened to the coinage of both gold and silver at the ratio 01 16 to 1 before this county will be relieved from its present depressed condition. He said this battle would be on until this ques tion was settled favorable to silver. You can find more eilverites in and about Waverly today than you could before this discussion. It has Bet many to thinking and to freely and openly ex press themselves in favor of true bi metalism. A. E. Sutherland. ANTI-GOPHEB SEED CORN. An Extremely Valuable Discovery for Farmers. No More Thin Corn Fields. Mr. Frederick T. Krause has discov ered a preparation that will prevent gophers from pulling seed corn. It in no way injures the corn but in a long series of. experiments it has been conclusively proven that corn so prepared will grow iust as well as before. The receipt is very simple; can be prepared at almost no expense by every farmer. Gophers will not touch it, and a good stand of corn is always assured if you use this preparation. Write for the receipt and terms to agents to Frederick T. Krause, Care of 1122 M St., Lincoln Neb. MR- LAMBERTS ON AGAIN. He Couldn't Fool the Normal School Students Normal, Neb., Feb. 10, 1896. Editor Independent Lincoln. The Hon. G. M. Lambertson delivered an ad dress to some sixty of Normal's inhabit ants, in the chapel last night, on the sub ject of finance. It seems the object of his visit was to get our consent to the retirement of greenbacks, which was a total failure. He spoke of our circulating medium being bo Treat that a contraction of 1346,000,000 to retire the greenbacks, would not be felt at present, while ne would further grind the faces of God's poor by issueing bonds for their redemp tion, believing them to be a war debt, and now in time of peace and prosperity they should be paid. His belief is that the national banking system is the grandest and most noble thing this country has ever known, and that the patriotic bankers are running them at a loss on account of not being allowed to issue notes to the par value of their bonds. On being asked if the last issue of bonds was not a contraction of the currency, he replied it was and that a further issue or sale of bonds to the amount of f 400, 000,000 would be felt severely. We do not profess to understand this subject, aud never will become enligh tened upon it so long as our most able men (?) continue to contradict them selves. Yours truly, Barton W. Flowers.

Professor ISorlm ot tne Hastings coi- leee delivered a lecture at the . M. U A hall last night to a larire and appreciat ive audience on the subject of "The Evo lution of Monotheism amoug I the Greeks." His lecture was novel and in structive and entertained his audience to a degree very satisfactory to the manage ment of the I. M. t. lecture course. The Milkmaids convention will come off in Hastings tonight, at which a good time is anticipated by all. A citizens' convention for the nomina tion of city officers met at the court house last night and placed in nomina tion the following ticket: For mayor, Professor J. Evans; for clerk, Andy F. Boston; for treasurer, Jack Mines. For councilman 1st ward, Ensmor Kinny,2d ward, A. W. Bindrup; 3d ward, G. H. Edgerton; 4th ward, T. C. Hurst For school board, W. H. Lanning and Mrs. Rose E. Shed of the 3d ward; C. F. Morey of the 2d ward. This is a good, clean ticket and should be elected. The Anti-License people met iu con vention tonight to put up a ticket for the city offices to be voted for this spring. The regular republican city nominat ing convention will meet on the 13th inst and it can be stated now that they will be compelled to put up an excep tionally good ticket if they hope for suc cess at the poles, as the people are get ting tired of ring rule even in Hastings.
