Tracey. Lincoln, Neb., June 13, 189G. The method pursued by the Nickel Plate Boad by which its agents figure rates as low as the lowest, seems to meet the requirements of the traveling public.

THEY PROMISS EVERY i H1NQ AND THEY DO NOTHIN3 They re Perfectly Satisfied with Present Conditions. Wasiu.ncton, June 12, 1896. Special to the Independent: The first session of the 54th congress closed yes terday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The record of this republican congress, like its republican predecessors, as well aslike the last democratic congress, has again illustrated the difference between party promises and party performance. Each time the republican party comes in power it does so by denouncing the sins of omission and commission of the dem ocratic party, promising to remedy the evils that exist and to place remedial legislation upon the statute books. The democratic party gained control of the last congress by denouncing the legisla tion placed upon the statute book by the republican party, and by showing that the hard times and the stagnation of business was brought about, chiefly by such legislation. They promised not only to wipe out this evil legislation, but to enact laws that would give the people more money and restore prosperity. They not only failed to do this when they had full power, but they fully endorsed ;rmrna rannhlioiii fi nnncial legisla tion and made it worse by repealing the 1 1 . t r last law on the Btatuie dooks iu mvur 01 silver or that provided for an increase of the currency of the country. In short, the party did not keep a single promise that it made to the people. After de unconstitutional and as a robbery, it placed upon the statute books a nign proiecuve wnu law which is today sun in lorce, anu which is higher than any republican tar iff ever enacted save and except the Mo T.r I r 1 1 fUT Inn. The republicans gained control of this congress by denouncing iue ueacueiy and incompetency of the democratic party, and by promising to take bold and vigorous steps to revive business and to stop falling prices. The first ses sion of this congress is closed, and what has been done? Absolutely nothing. Not a single law has been passed that will remove a single evil that has been preying upon the body politic; not a wingfe law that will raise prices, make debts easier to pay, give employment to hard times and stagna tion which today hangs as a threatening pall over the nation, from ocean to ocean. In short, it has been a "do nothing con gress." The record is almost DiauK, ana under circumstances ime tne present no record, is themostdamagiug record that a party can have. That is, thegold com hin nnrt mnnonolists have succeeded in getting- conditions almost exactly aa they desire them. It is true if the gold ring could satisfy its every wish, the greenbacks would be burned up and the whole power of issuing paper money would be given to the national banks. But they are reasonably well satisfied with the present condition of things. Thurofnro t.hn riArt.v that will serve them best is the party that will do nothing, thereby preserving conditions as iney are; and, by the same reasoning, the party that betrays the people most is the party that 'does nothing and leaves the people to suffer the poverty and dis tress which now exists and must con tinno imi.il there in a chance in the finan cial system and in the administration of of our governmental anairs. During the, last week there was very little of general interest before con (rruua Mnat nf the time was con sumed in considering appropriation bills. O N.

Populist Information Bureau. J. H. McDowell, member of the peoples party national committee for Tennessee, has been elected sergeant-at-arms to take charge of the hall and arrange the details for the peoples party national convention to be held in St. Louis July 22d. He will have charge of an informa tion bureau at headquarters for the pur pose of locating the different state dele gations who have not already secured headquarters, also making arrangements for reduced railroad fares, including spe cial train service for those who desire to come to the convention in large bodies, the printing and distribution of the tick ets for the convention, the provision of badges for the delegates and visitors, ar ranging of details in the convention hall, iniVhifihio- t.he sentincof state delegations and visitors, and providing quarters for the press representatives. 1 let Everybody Go. All state, county and local committees, and members of the party everywhere, are urged to organize clubs to bring as many people to the convention as pos sible, especially from the states within a radius of two hundred miles of St. Louis. Tickets to the convention will be furnish ed to the editors of all reform papers at tending the convention, and they are re quested to do all in their power to make this convention a grand success, by as sisting to bring as many populists to St. Louis as possible. All letters which refer to the details of the convention should be addressed to Hon. J. D. McDowell, room 525, Commercial Building, St. Louis, Mo. Passing Through the Fire. As soon as it is known that Senator Teller has passed through the fire of the St. Louis convention and proved himself to be the pure metal which he has beeu heretofore supposed, let his boom for president begin. Push it everywhere. Sound it loud enough to be heard by every man, woman and child in the na tion. Make the leller wave strong enough to float the Chicago convention and control its action. iioone Uouuty Outlook. Practical Politics. The populists of South Carolina are organizing clubs throughout the state preparatory to the real work of the campaign. INDEPENDENT. Mo It Inatunter, The independent party should take into consideration the fact that the hardest fight they now have to contend with by all odds and opposition is to to preserve unity and harmony. If we permit republican and democratic canis ter to disrupt our forces, then we are weak where we should be strongest. Let us have peac, unity and oneness of pur pose, and as fast as a spy takes refuge under our cover kick him overboard. For heaven's sake quit wrangling. If you cannot live within the populist party without making life miserable for your self and others, then get clear out of it the sooner the better. Graud Island Free Press. Counted I s Out Again. State Chairman Young of Oregon writes that it is probable that four pop ulist members elected to the legislature will be counted out by the republican election officers, as well as both congress men, and the chances are of even others bajng defeated in the same manner, lie auds: "I am not advised as to whether or not Quinn and Vanderberg will con test the seats of Ellis and Tongue." He hopes they will. The work in Oregon was accomplished by an expenditure of less than $600. An Associated Press Lie. There was no meeting of the national committee of the peoples party at St. Louis last week, as given out by the As sociated Press. The only thing that could give rise to such a report was the presence of a number of populists in the city, watching the drift of things in the republican national convention, in order to take advantage of republican mis takes. , National Keform Party. The national reform party will meet in conference with the national committee of the peoples party in St. Louis on the day preceding the latter party's conven tion. The nationalist party, led by John I'. St. John, has also been invited to the conference, but has not replied. The con ference has been arranged wholly upon the request of the national reform party. , Catarrh Cannot bo Oared with local applications, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it you must take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh core is taken internally, and acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years, and is a regu lar prescription. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers, acting directly on the mucous surfaces. The perfect com bination of the two ingredients is what produces such wonderful results in cur ing catarrh. Send for testimonials, free. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, 0. Sold by druggists, price 75c. Marching on to Victory. Oscar Parker, secretary of the peoples party of Georgia, writes: "We aremarch ing straight to a great victory in Geor gia this year. The result in Oregon is having a remarkably good effect. The declaration-of the Georgia democrats in favor of free coinage will have no effect on populist voters, who are already in the majority in the state." No Worry About Candidates, It is a notable fact that little discus sion has thus far been heard throughout the country regarding candidates for presidential and vice-presidential nomi nations by the populist national conven tion. The people are evidently trusting to the logic of events to bring forth their standard-bearers. Will Steal Anything. , Regard ing State issues in Georgia, W. E. Smith of Attapulgus writes: "It is a notorious fact that the democrats will steal anything from the best plank in the populist platform to a dead negro's vote, therefore the strongest plank in our state platform will be a free ballot aud a fair count." What Bob Schilling Bays. Bob Schilling, the irrepressible mem ber of the national committee from Wis consin, says the populists will carry Mil waukee at the coming election over the opposition, and Bob is not in the habit of ''talking through his hat," either. Don't lie Impatient. A letter from South America has been received at the dead letter office in Wash ington addressed to "Hon. James Mon roe, president of the United States."

Off the Trolly. It is two whole weeks now since a fake report was started at Indianapolis, cal culated to injure the peoples party. The fakirs' trolly must be off the track some where.

While this has been essentially a do nothing congress, yet it is entirely safe and proper to say that no party has ever yet made a finer record in any legmla tive assembly than the people's party senators and congressmen have made since last December. To begin with, the people's party senators invoked every silver man in both of the old parties to join with them last December in organ izing the senate against the gold men and for financial reform. This was emi nently proper as no party controlled the senate. The silver men in both parties were put to the test, but nearly all of them proved to be party bugs first and patriots second, if patriot at all. The six people's party senators have almost every day informed both of the old parties that they were ready to give six votes to eithe. side, which would be to give a majdrity to either party, that would offer and support any measure in the interest of the American people. The people's party senators even agreed to accept the McKinley tariff bill as an amendment on the true coinage bill if the republicans would agree to support a free coinage bill with such an amend ment. This the republicans declined to do, thereby admittingthat they not only considered the gold standard of greater importance than the McKinley tariff, but at the same time showing conclusively that they were opposed to increasing the money of the couutry and to doing any thing that would be of relief and ma terial benefit to the laboring classes. In short, the people's party has been ready to support any measure that either side would offer that was honest and meri torious; but no such measures have been offered. On the other hand, the meas ures which have been introduced by the people's party senators and congress men would do credit to any set of legis lators who have ever been honored with seats in the American congress meas ures that would have relieved the pres ent distress of the people and made this once more a prosperous and happy coun try. But these measures today lie dead upon the calendar of an adjourned con gress simply because the representatives of neither one of the old parties would help the people's party representatives to enact them into law. Forty-oners va. Forty-seveners. "The money question," the McKinley men keep on sayiug, "is a secondary is sue, although important. The main is sue is the tariff, and the republican party will make its fight on that." This sentiment finds repeated expres sion from McKinley managers and Mc Kinley organs in various parts of the country. It is pronounced so persistent- ently and emphatically that it must mean something. What does it mean? What is the tariff issue which is to be the principal issue of the coming campaign? On that issue who is it, or what is it that the McKin ley republicans expect to fight? Certainly not the present high protect ive tariff, enacted by a congress demo cratic in both branches, and allowed to become a law by a democratic president, who, nevertheless, denounced it as too atrociously protective to receive his sig nature. The present tariff is one of the highest protective tariffs ever in force m the United States. Its average rate falls short of the average rate of the pre ceding tariff, distinguished as the Mc Kinley tariff, by very little. A presiden tial campaign waged in support of the general theory of protection as against the general theory of tariff taxation for revenue only, is a conceivable thing. Such a campaign occurred four years ago. But a presidential campaign turn ing on the question whether 41 per cent, let us say, or 47 per cent shall be the av erage rate of protection, is utterly incon ceivable to the ordinary mind. You are not going to fire up much enthusiasm in the hearts of either the forty-oners or the forty-seveners. New York Sun. Ogalalla Items. Ogalalla, Neb., June 13, 1896. A good I rain fell over this county Wednesday night doing great good to small grain which was beginning to burn in places. Corn is doing fine. Some of our farmers are losing cattle from the effects of eating weeds on old abandoned fields. The first crop of alfalfa is now being cut and is good. The dry weather makes those having underflow ditches get to work to devel ope their water supply to the fullest ex tent. At our last republican county conven tion there was adopted a resolution in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 and the bosses that have always ruled the roost nearly squelched. But it is said that at our coming county convention the 27th, they will try to assert their power again. Our summer sohool is now in progress with Professor Kelley as principal and manager, Mr. Bill Kelley as short haDd and type writer, Mrs. Edney McVey as music teacher and Professor McVey pen manship, with an attendance of about fifty pupils and more to come the coin ing week. 16 to I. All a Gold Bug Knows. If John Sherman should take a $1000 bond and by skillful forgery make it read $ 2000, even the ordinary gold bug would admit that he had committed a criminal act. The $1000 bond would at present prices, be of about the value of 2000 bushels of wheat, butif John raised it to $2000 it would be of the value of 4000 bushels of wheat. All the gold bugs would admit that that would be stealing. On the other hand, if John Sherman, by legislation, should make that bond which is only worth 2000, worth 4000 bushels of wheat, all the gold bugs would say that was patriotism. That's all a gold bug knows about morals. Ottowa Journal. McKinley' Colored Delegates. St. Louis, June 17. Reports are cur rent that those of the southern colored delegation who are on the make, have been paid $250 apiece and have promises of $250 more, after they have voted for McKinley. For fifty votes this would be $25,000, not including their expense bills. The Itrpiililiran Pass Word. It used to be said of some of the terri tories that no man coull move in 'their fashionable circles unless he had either committed a murder or stolen some horses, and in the St. Louis convention no man who had not manipulated con gress or ravitdied a legislature or seduced a, judge in the interest of organized greed was considered worthy of the notice of republican gentleman. A TARIFF AGAINST US. That is What McKinley Um Means. McKinleyism means what? It means to maintain Asiastic tariff against Amer ican farmers. It means to build up for a special privileged class & tariff high enough to protect the manufacturers of the east. It means to make the neces saries of life dearer and dearer to the producers of this country. It means to make the products of the unprotected labor of this country cheaper and cheap er. It means to put the farmer in com petition with 800,000,000 coolies, who are competeiug with him in the Eu ropean markets. It means to impover ish the farmer. No one seeks to protect him. I have been a protectionist and I have advocatod protection; but I never dreamed that the party to which I be longed would abandon the producers of the country and build up a protection entirely in favor of the millions of coolies and see the struggling masses of this country reduced to powder. I never be lieved that. Why, the first move in pro tection is to equalize exchange, to give our people money, to make it possible to manufacture in different parts of the country. Protection withjtbe gold stand ard means slavery for the masses. It means to build up classes, to build up and widen the gulf between the laborers and the money changers. Senator Stew art. .
