Feb. II 1897. THE NEBRASKA IMpEPENDENT. SCISSORS DEPARTMENT. Henry labouchere, editor of the Lon don Troth, remarks: "No one is a heart ier admirer of Americana than I, bat if they are judged by New York society, a more corrupt and contemptible crow never played their pranks before heaven. Thpy are a parody on the worst features of European capitals.

The statement that Senator Allen "agrees that further alliance with the democrats is not desirable," to say the least, is a gross pervertion of what he did say. It is a malicious and dishonest distortion to twist an object to have the party "absorbed" or "disintregated" into , meaning a hostility to an honorable al liance with a party or parties that are agreed upon certain principles. Is it not a cheeky and unwarranted assumption of authority for one man or set of men to declare an abandonment of free silver? The battle for free silver is still on and they who basely desert the cause, how ever plausible the pretext may be, must be considered as an pnemy. The popu lists of the west brook no dictation from the east, especially when it is in the in terest of the money power. Wahoo New Era. That Kansas City Meeting. F. Kehler, editor Galveston (Tex.) In dependent: "Count on roe to attend the meeting at Kansas City. I am tired of the bulldozing tactics of the "gang." In a subsequent letter he says: "Van der Voort not being a publisher or editor of a paper has no earthly business in the N. R. P. A. He has no power to suspend anybody. Van der Voort has been 111 Texas very often and.if ray observations are not wrong he has formulated some kind of a secret organization or league here in this state for the purpose of car rying the populists into the republican ranks. We have had too much of these political pirates of late years and I hope we can counteract their villninous schemes. I will open up on them in the near future from this end of the line. I am in for Kansas City . I believe the Memphis meeting will be 'stocked' with Van der Voort tools." Industrial Leader. ' A call for a populist national confer ence has been written by Secretary Edgerton, of the national committee, to be held at Kansas City, Feb. 23, 1897, and forwarded to Chairman Butler urg ing him to issue tho same. This is in line with the suggestions of National Comtnitteman Washburn, of Massachu setts, and has the approval of many other leading members of the party. The American Reform Press Association has been called to convene at the same death and place. We think much good can be accomplished at such a confer ence. Custer County Beacon. J. A. Edgerton,' secretary of the na tional committee of the people's party, penned a good thing recently when he wrote this paragraph as a part of his reply to Washburn: You ask me, then, "What is to be the distinctive mission of the peoples party?" This: To push the fight, as in the past, on all its principles, only with more vigor than ever before. For free silver; for a supplemental issue of paper money direct from the government, lor the gov ernment ownership of railroads and tel egraphs fand direct legislation. Let the work of education proceed on all thesp, abandoning nothing, changing no issue, but standing firmly upon the platform made at Omaha and renewed at St. Louis." He might have put considerable more emphasis on the land question, but he outlined a mighty good policy for the peoples party when he declared that the Omaha platform every word of it and all of it is the proper guide for the fu ture. Let every populist stand up for that platform not today alone, but all days and there can be 110 question about grand and progressive results in the days to come. North Platte Era. No cause struggling for liberty has ever existed that has not had its Valley Forge. There have been times in all movements when weak hearts and timid natures abandoned the brave men in the field and to the latter was due the glory of the victory achieved. Wash ington retreated from New York City in the second year of the revolution with the victorious British pressing forward on the north and south of him to cut off his retreat, with Indian savages to the west of him iu the pay of the English government and led by English officers. And history tells us who it was that then deserted his cause, and of the thou sands who became inactive from a loss of confidence in the ultimate triumph of that cause. That army of patriots fin ally returned victorious to the scenes of their former discomfiture. We are now in a sense in retreat before the same vic- toriounJEnglish and their tory allies in the United States, but we will return and will yet see our Yorktown. Patriot's Bulletin. A. Roselle, secretary of the reform Press Association, has issued an address call- ing for a meeting of the people's party editors in Kansas City, Mo.. on February 22d. J. A. Edgerton, secretary of the populist national committer has sug gested that a conference of populists be held at the same place on the day fol lowing. This getting together of the populist editors means much to the future upbuilding and onward march of populists toward capturing the govern ment at Washington in 1900. Kearney New Era-Standard. Paul Van der Voort is scheming to disrupt the people's party press associa tion, knowing that he has forfeited the confidence of all the true and honest populists by his persistent playing into the hands of the Haunacrafs. Let every loyal people's party paper sustain Secre tary Rozelle in his effort to thwart the machinations that have their inspiration from republican headquarters. Wahoo New Era.

We rise now to put the main question Just how we should act and behave When we're completely submerged Vby the waters ,'. Of that prosperity wave. . . It was printed and spread o'er the country Told the freeman the white and black slave That McKinley's triumphant election Would our country both honor and save. So wide, was to be its diffusion All our shores with a blessing 'twould leave. Now the people have a right to demand t, And this right they never will waive. Yes, and Mack, it is claimed, was elected . (To be sure a plaguy close shave) Just the same we hoped (not expected) A ride on the newly made wave. But the banks it seems are still breaking, And depositors are all on the rave, While many of the "honest" bankers Are seeking the suicides grave, And money is a mighty sight scarcer, "Indade sor we really belave" And business throughout the whole country ' Continues to totter and cave. Their "confidence" "barl" is all busted, It's no longer convex and concave, About all that's now left of the humbug Are the hoops, the bung and a stave. Mark Hanna, like robber and pirate The heinuous old villain and knave He lied like the devil in sheol, McKinley to bolster and save. From utter defeat and disaster, He promised, he plead and he gave Many millions of illgotten money To hire corrupt and deprav. The voters, the rabble and suckers, And whoever might happen to crave A bowl or a spoonful of old party soup Old Hanna's more devilish than brave. So now the poor dupes are all looking As it were in the gloom of a cave For a siizn of exoected salvation. But they see not a sign of the "wave." ' Lt. r. LUMMINS.

Address John Doe, Care of Ne braska. Independent, Lincoln, Neb. Scriptural Politics. "Whoever is charged with the care of others, ought to be firmly convinced that he is designed for inferiors and not inferiors for him." To be able to speak the truth without prejudice is a virtue beyond price; but the prestige to De attained Dy aissemo ling in social, religious, or political mat ters could not work otherwise than to brinur that Quality to a premium and candor to a discount. Under present circumstances it is not at all surprising to find the majority proficient in falacy Although one's conscience does not re prove him, he is not thereby justified, for none are mfalible in dmcerningtnetrutn Iu this article, however, we propose to submit as evidence that which is con ceded "by twenty and one-half millions of people to be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but truth, viz.: The Chris tian Bible. In the late campaign the measure to abolmh the national bank and loan the government money direct to the people is the most Christian plank ever used in the construction of a political platform. Yt t it was repudiated by a majority of nearly one million people in a nation of boasteil Christianity. We will, by way of digression, answer a question that has been asked us a number or tunes, in tne way wuicu ap pears to us to be right. "In what man ner will the government procure the monev necessary to prevent a contrac tion of the currency equal to the amount of bank notes cancelled?" Answer: The government shall issue circulating notes to the amount of the assessed value of real estate over which the government has jurisdiction. Said notes to beloaned by the government direct to the people at a low rate of interest upon real estate and on personal property where said personal propertv is secured by an insur ance policy tqual to or possibly greater than the amount 01 the loan. This, also, has been asked: "What would be the consequence if the obliga tion on real estate could not be dis charged?" Answer: In that event the estate would become government land If our currency was based on the assessed value of the real estate of the govern ment there would be no danger of inflat ing the currency sufficiently to impair the "credit of the nation. Interest un der these conditions would simply be a tax to be used to defray the expenses of the government, thereby securing actual reduction of taxes. This is our idea concerning these matters, and by these means have we secured the approval of several gentlemen who were otherwise opposed to the "government going into the banking business." Will some one who is considered authority on this sub ject please inform ns bow nearly we are correct. A thorough knowledge of the intrica cies 0 our present monetary system is well: a knowledge of our system of usury is absolutely essential to an intelligent suffrHgein present politics. There are such a vast number of works from which this knowledge may be obtained that it is unnecessary for us to occupy space in au attempt to make it clear, so we will proceed to show forth our authority that the scriptures demand the abolition of the national bank. In the first place it is necessary to un derstand what usury is. Webster tells us that usury is, first, a premium or in terest paid, or stipulated to be paid, for a loan as of money, interest; second, the practice of taking interest. The third definition is a modern corruption of Webster s, and is the taking of interest above that which is legal. In the Bible dictionary we find "that usury signifies interest. Hut we need not resort to dic tionaries, for the Bible itself gives the signification of usury as increase, which is the original meaning of the term. Lev. 25, 35-37 And if thy brother be waxen poor and fallen in decay with thee then thou shalt relieve him; yea, though he be a stranger or a sojourner, that he may live with thee. Take thou no usury of him or increase; but fear thy God, that thy brother may live with thee. Thou shalt not give him thy money up on usury nor lend him thy victuals for interest. Of a truth, Moses and Moses' God were right in line with these modern anar chists. ' Exodus 22, 25 If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt tbou lay upon him usury. This is a command and appeals to us as individuals as closely as any of the orthodox ten. Ezekiel 18, 8-9-13-He that hath not given forth upon interest, neither hath taken any increase, that bath withdrawn his hand from inquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man, hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments; to deal truly, he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord (iod. Lie that hath given forth upon usury and hath taken increase, shall he then live? He shall not live; he hath done all these abominations; be shall surely die, his blood shall be upon him. Deut. 24, J a Thon shalt not lend upon usury to tby brother: usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury. 1 be position of the Chicago nominee was and is identically the same in which the Prophet Nebemiah found himself 2,305 years before this man was born. Neb. 5-7, 10 Then I counselled with myself and I rebuked the nobles and the 1 .j : j i. .1 yt 1. ruieid, uuu nam uuiu mem; ib exact usury, everyone of his brother; and 1 Bet a great assembly against them; 1 likewise and my brethren and my ser vants might exact of them money and corn. I pray you let us leave off this usury. Verily, Nebemiah was an anarchist equaled only by Mr. Bryan himself. Jer emiah evidently thought he would have merited the abuse heaped upon him if he bad been mean enough to have either given or taken in usury. Jeremiah 5, 10 Woe is me, my moth er, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth. I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent. to me on usury, yet everyone of them doth curse me. Isaiah tells us that "the giver of usury is equally guilty with the taker." 24,2. It is shocking how very many o these holy men of bod were anarchists. Ezekiel 22, 12-14 In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood. Thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained off thy neighbors by ex tortion, and bast forgo 1 1 n .Me. sajth the Lord God. Behold, therefore, I have smitten my hand at thy dishonest gaiu which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hast been iu the midst of thee; can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong in the days that I shall deal with thee? I, the Lord. have spoken it and will do it. To clearly understand Ezekiel we must know that in those days the lender was only entitled to the bare return of the loan, no matter what the thing loaned might be. The relation between the parties being Regarded as that of mutu ally helpful brethren. Any iiicreane on a loan was termed exaction o extortion because it was unlawful to require more returned than was given. We have seen the fate that the Old Testameut waiters say awaits those who lend for increase. And as bur adversar ies will doubtless claim that the condi tions imposed are not binding at the present time, we will transfer our argu ments to the uew dispensation. All who are conversant with the Bible or scriptural literature are perfectly aware of the fact that Jeeus and his fol lowers were ns one family, the rich en joying no more of the benefits of his wealth than the poor. Acts 2, 44-46 And all that believed were together, and had all things com mon; and sold their possessions nnd goods and parted them to all men as every man had need. ' We find that the main accusation against Jesus was that they found him forbidding to give tribute to Caesar. Luke 23, 2. Also in Math. 17,,25-26. Jesus teaches that it is unlawful to exact tribute from any one, especially the people of a nation to exact from one another increase in any form. The Publicans came to Jesus and asked him what they should do to better their con dition. He replied (Luke 3, 14) "Exact no more than is appointed you," which we have seen was only the bare return of the loan. Matt.23, 25 Woe be unto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, lor ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extor tion and excesses. The Apostle Paul is very certain as to the eternal abode of the extortioner. In his first epistle to the Corinthians he disposes of this class as follows: Cor. 6, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetors, nor drunkards, nor revllers, nor extor tioners shall inherit the kingdom of God. If this be true, we feel safe in predict ing that very few of this generation will share in that inheritance; all are usurers, all are extortioners; and the worst fea ture of it is there is no statute violated. The Jews exacted usury, but they did it in open violation of the law. We boast of our civilization, our enlightenment, and shudder at'the word heathen, yet in all the statutes of ancient nations of any repute we find a decree forbidding the giving or taking of increase. The strongest, the basic principle in the laws of Lycurgus of Spurta, was the measure making it a crime to loan anything upon usury or for increase. For nine hundred years Sparta strictly adhered to this law and was a most prosperous nation. At the end of that tim covetous persons In nigh places planted tha canker usury, and the deeper it rooted the faMer be came the concentration of wealth, and before she realized it proud and once prosperous Sparta was doomed. Con centration of wealth, which can only be brought about by some system of usury, has caused the downfall of every nation overthrown in the past, and will in the luturs bring ruin to any government that tolerates a law to turn all men loose to prey upon each other and de vour whom they can, making it impos sible for a man in any kind of business to do unto others as be would have oth ers do to him and succeed in business. We all know that Bacon never uttered a truth more profound than when he said: "Usury bringeth the treasure of a realm or state into a few bands,"yet the maturity 01 tne people will, through selfishness, hug that viper usury fondly to their bosom, hoping by some "presto change" affair that each will be the fav ored one into whose hand the treasure will fall. To abolish the national bank and loan government money direct to the people will strip the power from money to op press. Those who are at present living in splendor upon an income derived from money loaned to the people, thereby compelling the debtor to not only sup port himself and fapriily, but his creditor and family e- well, will be compelled to loan his money at a lawful rate or invest it in some industry that will not only support himself, but give employment to others, also, in this manner putting his money to the use for which it was in tendedto make of this nation a wealthy people, instead of to make a iew wealthy people in this nation. Every man or woman who holds the welfare of the majority dearer than self desires that which will be most beneficial to those who are in the greatest need of it, and it requires no brilliancy of intel lect to determine whom the "dear dol lar," "the dollar that will buy more of everything now than it ever did before," is most beneficial. Does the producer propose to buy raor. than he sells? Certainly not when he must sell what he produces to pay for that which he buys. If, as admitted by all parties, the free and unlimited coinage of silver would advance the price of everything propor tionately, would not the producer be thereby benefitted? He must Bell more than he buys or be forever going deeper and deeper in debt. Give the producer a fair price for the product of his farm and be can pay his "store bill" and have a goodly remainder left. The government must have control of our circulating medium, absolute con trol, or the people be forced to any meas ure through a contraction of the cur rency by those persons who are in con trol. As long as money is itself worth more than anything in which money can be invested, just so long will capital ex tort from the toiler his all, even to his life. "For you do take a man's life when you do take that which sustains his life." There is no way in which the money lender can be prevented from robbing the people by extortion save by the government creating a means where by the people may procure money at a fixed rate. If, when this blessing is be stowed upon the people, the usurer, ex tortioner, and those who lend for in crease, feel that tbey can no longer abide with us, may they find a haven of rest with those beyond the sea. Then we will lift up our voices in gladness and chorus with Isaiah, "Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler, for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth: the oppressors are consumed out of the land. Isaiah 16, 4. M. E. Ingham. A Soldier, From the Sentinel, Cherokee, Kan. J. M. Baird, a Union war veteran, and commander of Shiloh Post No. 56, G. A. R., Cherokee, Kansas, made the follow ing statement to a reporter on August 31st, 1896: "For about three years I have suffered intensely from rheumatism, and during that time have tried various remedies and was treated by several able physi cians, but without result. I passed many a long, weary night without clos iug my eyes in sleep, so great was the pain in my arms and hands. Last spring Itev. J. B. Wiles advised me to try Pink Pills, as he said they had cured a bad case of rheumatism for him and some of bU relatives. I was so impressed with. Mr. Wiles' enthusiastic praise of Pink Pills that I decided to try a box, and the rexult is all that the most ex acting could wish, for before I had taken two boxes of the pills I was completely cured, and I feel better now than I have for several years. "My wife," continued Mr. Baird, "was badly afflicted with neuralgia in the breast with frequent smothering spells. One box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills ef fected a radical cure in her case. I at tribute my cure and that of my wife solely to Pink Pills, and have no hesi tancy in recommending them to the afflicted." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a condensed form, all the elemeuts neces sary to give new life and ricbnees to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neu ralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effect of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complex ions, all forms of weakness either in male or female. Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post-paid on receipt of price, 5C cents per box or six boxes for $2.50 (they are never sold in bulk or by the 100) by addressing Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schnec tady, N.

I am very glad to note that you oppose the proposed appropriation steal for the benefit of land speculators and Omaha capitalists who desire to tax the farmers of the state to enrich them selves. It has always been considered good populist doctrine(and I believe democrats also advocated) that it is no better than common theft to tax one industry to build up another. To say nothing of the proposed tax of $350,000 which the business men would contrive to add as part of their legiti mate business expense and saddle onto the farmer.

But the real farmers of the state who have created nearly all its waalth, as well as untold millions stolen from us by corporations in defiance of law, who will continue to "stand upfor Nebraska" by tilling her fertile prairies and agitat ing needed reforms until she is the fair est, purest gem in the galaxy of states, will have the last straw heaped onto our burdened backs which we will ever allow corporation hirelings to put upon us. We will not only have tho $350,000 to raise by selling 8-cent corn but, if the scheme succeeds, to raise the asserted value of our farms while not adding anything to its productiveness thus in creasing our taxation for all time to come as past and present legislatures always aim to tax us all and some more than the percentage of value which the constitution allows, it will take a much larger proportion of our crop than now to pay our tax. True, politicians who think they may have a portion of the said tax to squan der in some way favor anything which tends to increase it but let them; know that the farmers are watching them and are in no mood to be taxed for display of any sort while notable to provide any of the luxuries of life for themselves and children. Let those who will benefit by the big show, pay all the expenses. If it succeeds in its object of raisinir the price of land many farmers will be forced to lose t heir farms and all will suffer enough without this added tax. , Yours for justice, Luna E.

Following resolutions were adopted at meeting of State Alliance: Resolved, that we urge our legislature to appoint committee to confer with the legislatures of the other states in the line of the co-operative railroad to the Gulf; and use their utmost endeavors to aid in the construction; as we believe the money thus spent will result in the greatest possible benefit to all the farm ers, and laborers of our state. Resolved, that we request the legisla ture of the state of Nebraska, to pass a law giving to the people of the state the benefit of the initiative referendum and imperative mandate. Resolved, that we request the legisla ture to pass a law that hereafter there shall be no judgment rendered in any court of this state, for any deficiency that may exist after the sale of the property mortgaged, in case of foreclosure of mortgages. Resolved that we request our senators and representatives in congress, to use their influence for the establishment of postal savings banks, and also govern ment ownership of all public lines of communication and transportation.
