March 26, 1896. THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT. GIBBS ON POPULISTS. - The Fellows at the Forks of the Road Can't be Flayed for Suckers. TEXAS VOTES WILL BE COUNTED Fools Can't get This Country in a Worse fix than the "Smart" men Have. ' Ridicule of Pops Don't Pass as Stateemensnip any More Ex.Gov. Gibhsof Texas, who has re cently united with the populist party, gave out a stinging interview the other day of which the following is part: "The average populist may be as big a fool as the average democratic paid ' organ says he is, but there were 168,000 of him at the last election in Texas. auu tuvio nui uo uyv,uyu uj mem tuis fall at election time, and every son-of-a guu of him will be counted. If he hasn't been breeding fast enough under a sys tem of raised taxes and arrogantassump tion of of power by rulers there will be enough democrats and republicaas to help him keep the flies off the pie-eaters. They can't play the fellows at the forks of the creek for suckers and at the same time make them stand a raise. "The populists haven't got many rail road passes or organizers eating the bread of the people, but they will get there all the same. The fools can't get this country in any worse fix than the smart men have, and they haven't got sense enough to spend as much money or doctor up as many contingent funds. When they get that smart the people .1 1 U U OA A AAA - t 4.1 A 1. can turn them out, We gave the smart democrats a chance and they flunked on the first inning. Why not give the fool populist a chance? "Every vote cast in Texas this year will be counted as cast, and when it is done the syndicate will learn 'great are the people of Texas in search of ven geance.' Nosham shilly-shally democracy will go at par in Texas any more, and if the pie-eatiug wing of Texas democracy steal any more planks from the populist platform the people will not trust them to execute or carry them out or believe in the nerve or wisdom of leaders that have to be scared into adopting a political re form. No grand stand political plays or grandiloquent appeals to the old guard will fool democrats this year, for the game is stale. "These fine talking democrats raise taxes to where there is not money enough to pay them and then talk about honest debts. They put pensions and salaries to where their payment requires more money in one year than American dirt pans out in ten yearsand then they prate about honest money. The Washington city pie-eaters make their big salaries clear by paying for their liquor and everything else out of contingent and stationery funds and other unconscion able and unconstitutional funds. One of them was recently caught sending by mail every week free of charge, under the democratic franking system, his laundry to New York to have it doue up and re turned at the mudsillers' expense. In spite of their.big pay and blind salaries others of them have been caught selling their pro rata of government seed at five cents on the dollar. We must vote the straight ticket and indorse all these and a' thousand similar customs that they tell us the people have approved of for years under the only two parties that can live or be voted for. "The reason the deroocratscan'tdancfc together in Washington is because they have one democratic foot and one feder alist foot and they are in doubt which is the best foot to put foremost. They think it is safe to cuss populists, so that is their only sure game to play. Both Dudley and Hardy are emphatic and cer tain in their declaration that, the other is an ass; if they are telling the truth it would appnar that the populist ass is at least not stationary betweeu the bundles of fodder.

The People's Friend All bail the Christ of Nazareth.- - Who came to banish strife; He took the bitterness from death, The hopelessness from life; He gave to faith a mode of speech It ne'er bad known before; But, best of all, he came to preach Tne gospel to the poor. AlthouKh the sun of glory broke Upon his natal morn, He came from poor and humble folk. And he was lowly born, He was a common carpenter. He labored for bis bread. On all the earth, he had not where To lay his weary.bead. He went about In simple dress; He tramped from place to place; His aim to banish selfishness And raise the fallen race. Although he left a legacy. The richest earth has known. He lived himself In poverty, With nanght to call bis own. His helpers were but workingnien; He blessed the ones In need. He drove the rich from out their den And cursed them for their greed. He said that Mammon's sordid slaves Could never be the Lord's, He smote the money changing knaves With whip of platted cords. From Scribe and priest and Fharutee He tore the cloak of fraud. He recognized no royalty. Excepting that of God. Degrees and castes to him were naught; Within bis splendid plan He knew but equals; aud he taught The brotherhood of man. Unto the toiling multitudes - He opened heaven's gate: But said the rich should not intrude Into that blest estate. He yearned for those In misery, He bled for the oppressed, , "0, ye who labor, come unto me. And I will give you rest." He strove to make this warring earth More like the world above. He songbt to brlnx a state to birth, Built on the law of love; A state of charity and peace, Of good will nnto men; Where all should share the world's Increase, An Eden come agaiii. He pointed to the highest good. The truest liberty. He taught that love and brotherhood Alone can make ns free. If men would follow his commands. The clouds would roll away; And breaking over all the.lands, Would come the grander day. He was the poor man's dearest friend. The truest ever known. The things he taught would bring an eud To Sbylock, bond and throne; Would pot a stop to greed and war; Would free the world from hate; And near apon the future's shore. Would plant the social state, O, carpenter of Nazareth, We need thy message now. Thy people still are led to death. The thorns upon their brow. We need It here upon the earth, To help the toiling throng; To bring the better day to birth And free the world from wrong. J. A. EDUEUTON. The Kentucky Populist spread itself out on the first of the year. It changed its name to the Herald, and comes from press twice a week for $ 1 per year, with a weekly issue at 10 cents for three montliB.

Republicans everywhere express uni versal contempt for the issuance o' bonds but where, vhen and how have they made any attempt to prevent it? Bonds can only be issued by virtue of an act of Congress, and republicans passed the law. If they a re ho strongly opposed to it why do they not repeul the act that gives Cleveland authority to njsue bonda? The republicans have a large majority in the House and with the populists a major ity in the Senate, and every populistwould be glad to vote agaiiist any bond issue. The only rational view of the matter is, republicans or a majority of them are in favor of issuing bonds. Minden Courier.

ALL EEFOEMEES SHOULD UNITE A Colorado Populist Colony a Success Denver, Col., March 18, 1896. Editor Independent: I send you a money order for one dollar to pay for the Indepedent for another year, I consider it one of the best reform papers published. It certainly needs such a paper to fight the battle in a monopoly ridden state like Nebraska. , Although I am a staunch believer in the Omaha platform, I believe all the re form elements should sink their differ ence and come together in one grand or ganization at St. Louis in July, if they do not do it, then there is no hope for the common people through political action. If by united action, we can secure the free coinage of silver and government banks at the next election, we can go on to other reforms dear to the hearts of every true populist. If we fail next fall, our case is a hopeless one, for four more years of McKiuleyism will reduce tbe common people to such hopeless poverty that they will never be able to make a successful fight again. I believe that this is the sentiment of a great majority of the populists of Col orado. Another thing I wish to speak of and that is the Colorado Co-operative colony. It was organized two years ago last February and is comprised of some of the best men and women, not only of Colorado but many other states are rep resented. ' ' Professor E. G, Brown, a graduate of the Kansas University, is president, Ex congressman, John S. Otis of Topeka, Kansas, is vice president. Its manager is 11. L. Smith who was the first populist senator elected to the Colorado legisla ture. Mrs. Annie L. Dgigs is also a member and is now lecturing in the east in the interest of this organization. Its outlook for the future is very flattering. - The colony headquarters is at Natu ri!a, Montrose county, Colorado. It has about 35,000 acres of land and a ditch to irrigate the tract is now being con structed. The water will be taken from the San Miguel, one of the finest rivers in the state, and practically inexhaust able as its source is in the ever lasting snows of the Uocky Mountains. The valley is surrounded on all sides by mountains and is from two to five miles wide and about twenty long. There is abundent pine and aspen timber near by and the colony has a fine new saw and shingle miil now running- This mill is owned by all the colonists as will be the ditch and in fact all the public utilities, but the land, up to forty acres to each family, or the lot in the village will be owned by the individual. So you see it is no communistic afiair. It is in the midst of one of the most wonderful min ing regions in the world. It is out of debt and v. ill keep out. It is in the finest fruit belt in this state or any other. The land is Ceeded Indian laud and can be entered under the desert land act. But as the laud is worthless without the water, aud the company will sell no water to others than members, the whole tract will be located by members of this company. ..Every person joining the colony must pledge themselAes not to peculate on the land. The colony will putiu all kinds of crops this spring on lands they have rented for three years. Last year on a small piece of land they raised 700 bushels of fine potatoes aud other vegetables. Its suc cess has been a great surprise even to the origi n al organ irers.. Many people are now looking to this favored spot for homes. Yours very Sincerely, C. E.

"The General Tendency of Industries and Prices ia not Encouraging." , In 1893 we were told by all the single standard papers in the country that the repeal of the Sherman law would bring us prosperous times. The operation of the Sherman law was simply tbe adding of about $3,500,000 of new currency to our volume of money each month. The man is either a fool or a knave that would say that it would boom the busi, ness of the country to stop 'that supply of new money. The president called con gress together during the month of Au gust, 1893, for the sole purpose of re pealing that law, thereby stopping the above addition the to currency. We have been told by the plutocratic gold-bug press many times since 1893, that by doing this or doing that, that prosperity would follow. The single standard fellows will tell us to burn up the $346,000,000 of green backs. Thurston told us that the sell ing of $100,000,000 of bonds would boom the business of this country. There is a screw loose some where. The busi ness of the country was more depressed in some ways last weeek thau it has been for years, and the end is not yet. The following report shows that there are breakers ahead: "It. 0, Duu & Co. in their weekly re view say: Failures for two weeks of March cover liabilities of $6,799,397 against $7,372, 471 last year. Failures for the week were 261. in the United States agaiuBt 278 last year and 49 in Canada against 35 last year. The general tendency oi industries and prices is not encouraging and those who were most hopeful a month ago are still waiting, not so hopefully,' for the expec ted recovery. ? A troublesome feature of the situation is the stringency in commercial loans.uot because of scarcity of money, but be cause banks are disturbed by failures of some importance." The bankers are getting scared, well they may be. There will be no prosper ity in this country until silver is worth about $1.29 per ounce. iiiiitiituiaiiitiitiiiituitiiiiiimiaiig Are often required to determine what shall be nkept out" of a har vester than to say what shall "go into" it It is so easy to do the wrong thing and the wrong thing has such an inviting appearance that less experienced manufacturers than the McCormkk Co, frequent ly find themselves "putting their foot in it" and building a machine one season which they are obliged to abandon a season or two later. Because a good thing is a good thing in its place, it doesn't neces sarily follow that it is a good thing in a harvester or mower. Fight shy of the machine whose best recommend is that "it seems to have a bright idea" in its make up. Remember this every day in the year: McCormick Machines will work where others fail.

Since com ing to Omaha I have had many of my friends throughout the state write to me to make purchases for them, which I have always freely done and such splendid sat isfaction has resulted that I have conclu ded to establish a Consumers Purchasing Agency.

If you will write me, giving full par- ticulars about what you need, I will quote you prices on anything you want, and give you my terms which are very reason able.

The place of this discourse was appro priate. It was in Carnegie Hall, a hall named after the most arrogant, grasp ing, impudent, alien, goldbug that ever infested this country, and in a city so no--torious for its corrupt practices of every name and nature that every American deplores the existence of such a plague spot in the great republic. In this speech for the benefit of the missionary work of the Presbyterian church of New York, he undertook to destroy the influence of the western states by proclaiming the peo ple of those states in effect a wicked band of outlaws.
