THE LABOR EXCHANGE.
What is Proposed to Accomplish by it
1'iitiM NfH am, Neb., April 8, 1890.
I Editor Independent: To the de
a i t
f comes greeting, the Labor Exchange.
: Years after years, ytts, a life time, you
have toiled. You have produced tons
upon tons of various kinds of provisions
besides other wealth in untold quantities.
The mysterious stream which has swept
it all away, has swept away your farm
your home, your independence and lib
erty. Such a year's production would at
least be sufficent to maintain the family
a dozen years.
Prodnctiou and exchange have per
ished for lack of circulation. The factory
. closed for lack of money to pay men,
thus unemployed men cannot purchase
your production for the same reason.
Where is the difficulty? Not a lack of
demand or necessity for food and cloth
ing. It is greater than ever before as
there are more unclothed and unfed peo
ple tban ever before
Not a lack of material of which to
make these things, for cotton and wool
are so cheap that all should be well
clothed. Not a lack of wealth. There is
over seventy billions of dollars worth in
the country. Not a lack of men to con
vert the untoid wealth, the inexbaust-
able supply of raw material into the
daintiest food aud the finest raiment.
Theu what luckest thou, O, ye children
of the earth? In a world of bounteous
plenty, yet lean hunger feeds upon every
face. lu a brilliant world of undying
beauty, yet sorrow and sadness sur
rounds every fire side. In an age of un
rivaled progress, the social goddes
is seen to retrace her steps.., In the age
of literature, of free schools and free
thought, ignorance darkens the
cities that should illuminate the entire
earth; in magnificent cities where a thou
sand church spires touch the pure blue
of heaven's arch, a ' thousand cbimers
each sabbath, mingle to call the wor
shippers to her stately alters, yet be
neath the very domes of these tem
ples are found human pens of want, mis
ery, decay and death; where virtue is
given for existence and manhood for
ever vanished.
We have a world of natural beauty, a
world of raw material and undeveloped
resources and a world of idle and al
most empty hands, ready and anxious
to convert it into finished and useful ar
ticles. The Labor Exchange solves the prob
lem of its accomplishment without the
use of gold or silver or any kind ot legal
tender. The organization in brief is as
follows; Organize with a dozen or more
intelligent men and women, elect a presi
dent, a secretary and a manager and an
accountant, provide a depository for the
reception of goods of every description,
then let every member turn to produc
tion of whatsoever he can and deposit
the surplus at the depository and get
therefor a deposit certificate which is
redeemable in any kind of goods on hand
and is at once accentable bv business
men as if it were the same as money.
vThns, you see, you have at once a ready
marKei ior every possime prouuci anu a
i t if -it i i
medium of exchange, sate, sound and
commensurate to the wealth as it comes
into existence at the time of production
and ends at its consumption, it being
cancelled when returned to the deposi
tory and its equivalent drawn out and
consumed.
Do not say it cannot be done, as it is
being very successfully done in a great
many places in a majority of the states.
In some of the coast states, whole
counties are going into it with magnifi
cent results following. Forests are con
verted into fields and fine dwellings, vin
yards spring into existence, acres of rot
ting fruit are nowireclaimed to sparkling
wines, to finest jams and canned fruit to
feed millions of hungry unemployed
men and women.
Saw mills, shops and factories now
ring with joyous laughter where silence's
unbroken monotony reigned supreme.
Investigate it brother and redeem
yourself, your family and your country
else we go into impending ruin and our
names into history as unlearned and un
worthy slaves.

11. Lee Hamon,
The Independent asks the author of
the above well written communication to
to take into account the following facts,
and then say whether he still thinks that
the establishment of Labor Exchanges
will result as he indicates.
1. The banks have fortified them
selves against all such schemes by pos
itive letral enactments. The moment
hese labor certificates begin to act as a
medium of exchange and circulate as
money, they become subject, under the
law to a tax of ten per cent, and the
banks, you may be sure, will see to it
that the law is enforced. They broke up
a labor exchange in Kansas last year in
that way and one in South Carolina two
years ago.
2. Even if exchanges could be made
in this way, it would not relieve labor of
the awful burdens it now bears. Inter
est, taxes, transportation charges and
debts would remain as they are, and
could only be discharged with legal ten
der money. These burdens would rest
just as heavy on the members of a la'bor
exchange as on the rest of the popula
tion. It is these burdens that make us
poor, that take the proceeds of 'all our
toil, and will continueto take them until
we can get control of the government,
increase the quantity of legal tender
money, and raise the price of the pro
ducts of labor until it will only take
half as much labor to pay our taxes,
onr interest and our freight charges as
it does now. Editor Independent

It will be the Free Silver Dough-faces
of the West-
The republican convention of Massa
chusetts adopted the following plank
which is substantially that of New York,
and may be called the platform of
THE EAST.
"We are entirely opposed to the free
and unlimited coinage of silver, and to
any change in the existing gold stand
ard, except by international agreement.
Each dollar must be kept as good as
every other dollar. 1 be credit ot the
united States must be maintained at the
highest point, so that it canot be ques
tioned anywhere, either at home or
abroad. Every promise must be rigidly
kept, and every obligation redeemable in
coin must be paid in gold.
THE WEST.
The Lincoln republicans of the west
embody their views in the following few
words, and declare an ' intention to se
cure that platform or quit:
"We demand the free coinage of silver,
16 to 1, without waiting for the consent
of any other nation.
THE STRADDLE.
Half way between the east and west is
McKinley with the "Ohio Idea," which
means nothing or any thing. Here it is:
"We contend for honest money, for a
currency of gold, silver and paper, with
which to measure our exchanges that
shall be as sound as the government and
as untarnished as its honor, and to that
end we favor bimetallism and demand
the use of both gold and silver as stand
ard money, either in accordance with a
ratio to be fixed by an international
agreement, if that can be obtained, or
under such restrictions and such provis
ions to be determined by legislation as
will secure the maintainance of the par
ities of values of the two metals, bo that
the purchasing and debt-paying power
of the dollar, whether of silver, gold or
paper, shall be at all times equal."
Questions Answered.
Valentine, Neb., April 2, 1896,
Editor Idependent: 1. Howmuchgold
is there in circulation in the united
States?
2. What is our bonded indebtedness
payable in coin?
3. Is there any law compelling them
to keep one hundred million of gold in the
treasury? $ J. E. Pettygrew.
answer.
1. No one knows and there is no way
of finding out, Carlisle "estimates it at
1600,000,000 and so carries it in his
monthly statements, but be Jims no
authority on which to base such an esti
mate. Competent authorities say that
there is about fl75,000,000 "visible"
gold, that is what is known to be in the
banks, safety vaults etc.; that there i
about $30,000,000 in circulation on the
pacific coast and not to exceed f 1 00,000,-
000 in the rest of the united estates.
No competent authority estimates the
gold in the country at over $325,000,-
000.
2. Every obligation of the United
States is payable in coin. It is specifically
the law, passed Jan. 16,1878. That law
has never been repealed and is on the
statute books today. 1
d. There is no law authorizing a
$100,000,000 eold reserve. The reserve
was started by an order of Johu bher-
man when he whs secretary of the treas
ury. That is all the authority there is
for it.
No Fusion in North Carolina.
Washington. D.C., April 4. The fusion
which has existed between North Caro-
i republicans and populists, and
through which Senator Marion Butler
owes his election to the united states
senate, is to be dissolved. The break is
due to Senator Butler s declaration that
no presidential or state candidate who is
opposed to free coinage is entitled to pop
ulistic support.
Liquor Interests for McKinley

Hake of Chicay;o,secretary of the nation
al liquor dealers' association, is in Cleve.
land, arranging with the Ohio executive
board for the national convention, to be
held in this city next fall.
Speaking of the political position of
the association, Mr. Hake says: "The
saloonists in every part of the country
indorse William McKinley for president.
At the lowest calculation, this means
,800,000 votes at the poles, if Mr. Mc
Kinley is nominated. I base this esti
mate on the fact that the association
as 18,000 members, and each member
is good for at least ten votes."
Mr. Hake said, that the liking of
the liquor people for McKinley was ow-
ng to the fact that he had never placed
lmself in opposition to the liquor trattic
and had never favored measures against
the saloons.
Just as hong.
Remember, so long as the mon
ey power can divert your attention from
the real issue, they are going to keep
their hands in your pockets and
ivest you of a large share of the fruits
of your toil, iou have the right and
the power to take their hands out of
your pockets. Will you do it? Yes? Then
vote right. 1'eople s Searchlight.

Four years ago the populists were the
only men in this "neck of woods who
wanted free silver. Whenever a reformer
poke, democrats stood and and reviled
him, belittled his doctrines and vilified
is political colleagues, flow is presented
the auomally of democrats making prae!
tically the same arguments used
by the people's party in '92. It's a
clear case of Mahomet coming to the
mountain; and the populist platform is

leading protectionist organ of New York,
teel billets can now be produced tor a

Trust takes a ton of steel at this cost

county in the state. Hardly had our

being the proud father of twins a boy

The way They did it.
University Place, Neb., April 8, 1896.
Editor Independent: As I see it, our
Methodist Sunday school superintendent
republican candidate for the legislature,
T. M. Wimberly will be an easily defeated
man if the populists put upagoodstrong
man against him. The conscientious re
publicans of this place do not like the
plan on which he got the nomination.
Going back to last fall he went into Pat
Dore's delegation and supported Dore
for county clerk. This was done to get
Pat's support this spring. He got it
now it is known that he tied up delega
tion for delegation with the notorious
Bud Lmdsey m the late republican con
vention and thereby received his nomi
nation. We think if the instigators of
Mr. Wimberly's reception at the Univer
sity chapel had known the way he had
done to procure his nomination they
would not have called the meeting. If
they did know it, it is a disgrace to the
school, church and town.
I want to know if a man can be de
pended upon to enact righteous legisla
tion if elected, who has procured his nom
ination by such acts. What do you
think about it honest republicans?

Special to the Nebraska Independent:
Your representative reached this little
city without a courthouse building,
about 10 a. m. today and is happy to
announce to the readers of the Indepen
dent that I found a very polite and
gentlemanly set of county officers, occu
pying olftces in various parts of the city.
The city is rather quiet in a business way,
but today being city election, there was
quite a scramble between the opposing
forces, of anti-license and license,
politics having been lost in the shuffle.
At this writing 9. p. m. it is announced
that the license party carried the election
by a majority of 45. The license party
elected the mayor and three councilmen
out of four. 1 he populist rule the roost
n this county, holding all the best coun
ty offices, by majorities ranging from
50 to 400 and over and are gaining
ground very steadily. The Nebraska
Independent is considered a hummer by
all who are acquainted with its bright
and pungent editorials.
The people of this county vote ou $25,-
000.00 court house bonds on the 13th

ThoBtipublicani Grown so Foul That They
Openly Advertise Tbeir Villianong
Deals-
The final act in the surrender of the
republican party of the first district to a
colored saloon and dive keeper was en
acted at Tecumseh on Tuesday night.
The irredeemable rottenness of the party
is shown in the account their own papers
give of the affair. The matter-of-fact
way in which the foul deal was made,
and the unblushing manner in which it
was written up in their own papers, shows
that the party is not only corrupt, but
is so far gone in its depravity that it
does not seem to realize the foulness of
its own acts. Honesty and decency
it has abandoned and it don't care who
knowsit, for it unblushingly publishes its
deals with the vile element in its own
daily papers.
The following account of the deal is
taken from the Lincoln Daily News of
April 13:
"The first congressional district repub
lican convention, which meets at Tecum
seh tonight, will elect L. L. Liudsey of
Lincoln, and Horatio N. Dovey of Platts-
mouth delegates to the republican na
tional convention. The alliance between
Lindsey and the Cass county candidate
was not effected until this morning, al
though a sort of informal agreement was
reached yesterday. Mr. Dovey arrived
in the city yesterday afternoon, accom
panied by a number of influential Cass
county republicans, and a conference be-
twee himself and Lindsey followed.
Dovey was anxious to make a
tie-up with Bud and they Boon
got together. The remainder of
the Cass county delegation ar
rived in the city shortly after 10
o'clock, and after a short conference
agreed to stand by whatever agreement
Dovey made. There has been some
doubt of two of the Cass county repre
sentatives in relation to Lindsey, but
the fears of the latter were soon dispelled
when the delegates were seen. It was
then that the formal compact between
Lindsey and Dovey was made. Dovey
agreed to deliver Cass county's twenty-
six votes to Lindsey on the first ballot
in return for Lancaster s seventy dele
gates for himself. The combination of
Lancaster and Cass means 96 votes, or
majority of ten of the 182 voteB in the
the convention, and assures the election
of Lindsey and Dovey beyond doubt.
"The Lancaster and Cass county dele
gates assembled at the Capital hotel at
12,30 this afternoon and marched to the
Burlington depot in a body, accompanied
by a large crowd of politicians. The
crowd was a jolly one, and every one
seemed to be rampant for Lindsey and
Dovey. The Lancaster county delegates
wore neat white satin badges containing
in red ink the popular shibboleth: "For
president, William McKinley; for Con
gress, Jesse B. Strode; for district dele
gate, L. L. Lindsey.' There was a large
crowd at the depot to see the party off,
and as the train pulled out at 1:20 there
were yells for McKinley, Strode and
Lindsey."
The Nebraska Club.
Mr. Charles E. Williamson, secretary
of the Nebraska club no w writes the Hub
as follows under the date of March IN:
My attention has been called to a com
munication published in your paper re
cently by A. J. Gustin, of your city, writ
ten in Chicago. It hardly calls for a re
ply, but I desire to set Mr. Gustin right,
and an apprehension that others may
also be misguided prompts a few lines.
The Nebraska club is organized for a
distinct purpose and for a practical one
only, that of securing the immigration of
good citizens to the state. The adjust
ment of freight tariffs becomes no part
of the business. The Nebraska Club be
lieves that the best results are attained
by concentrated efforts along single lines.
There are many matters of this char
acter needing adjustment and many
needing to be righted, but the club must
and does refer them to the proper chan
nels already created for the purpose of
handling them.
While a fair adjustment of freight tar
iffs would doubtless have a salient effect
upon immigration, it is foreign to the
purpose of this organization. The Ne
braska Club might if it could enter into
matters of tbischaracter to toe material
interests of the state, but it, would in
volve a dissipation of its strength and
defeat the desired unity of effort neces
sary to attain the fullest measure of suc
cess in its own line of work. Kearney

When they line up we find many new re

in his hand, which was Hill ou Banking.

me four others notable among them
was the Red Dragon. Now brethren
this is a hint for you and me to stay
squarely in ,the middle of the road, and
seud good men to all conventions es
pecially to St. Louis, Instruct them to
make a short platform, for instance
something like this. Prosperity vs.
poverty, government banking, free
silver 16 to 1, then take off your coat
and whoop her up for 24 hours a day,
Don't let any one draw you aside on
tariff or anything else. Tariff don't cut
any figure in these days. We have got
tariff of 15 cents on corn and we sold it
last fall for 10 cents per bushel. Look
at the tariff on horses, etc. You can buy
all the horses you desire for a song. 1
saw a span of fine mules soli at auction
last fall for $1.25 and the parties squab
bled over the halters. I myself have
raised overl5,000 bushels of wheat right
out here in what you call the dry part
of God's moral heritage, and lost $7,-
500 at it. Shipped almost a whole train
load at one time which netted me 32
cents per bushel, that cost mo 49 cents.
This is the government average cost for
Kansas ana Nebraska. What is the
matter is underconsumption. The way
out of this is to put sufficient money in
circulation so that he who wishes to buy
can buy, and he who wishes to sell can
soli. Then if you want to put up the
tariff so that John's Bull can't jump
over, there would be some sense in it.
Now again boys, patronize the reform
papers all you can. Attend caucuses,
county conventions, state conventions
and national conventions if convenient.
Do all you can for a good ticket then
take off your eoat and work like braves.
The old parties are fast dividing, now
lets show them in and victory will be
ours. J. P. Price.

Buy Tour Goods Direct From the Mann
faotururs.
These hard times compel many to
economize, and if you want to maks
what money you have go as far ar possi
ble, I believe I can help you. 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 bare conclu
ded to establish a Consumers Purchasing
Agency. Knowing inside prices of whole
salers and manufacturers, and buying in
large quantities, I can undoubtedly bay
goods for you cheaper than' you could
buy them yourself and if you are in need
of any kind of merchandise, dry goods,
groceries, clothing, farm ' implements,
buggy, bicycle, any make, or in fact any
thing, I am satisfied I can saveyou mon
ey by getting you inside wholesale prices.
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. This will be much cheaper tban
for you to come to Omaha yourself and
I will be as careful in making a purchase
for you as if I were buying for myself and
I believe I can please any reasonable per
son. For further information, terms,
samples, prices etc. write me.
