A BILLION AND A HALF.
The Independent some time ago called
attention to to the catch phase adopted
when the first billion dollar congress
adjourned, and how tbe stupid foil wing
of the republican party went aroond
avlnir! "Oh I tbia I a billion dollar
coontry." It wa predicted that when
the appropriations amounted to a bil
lion and a half they would tak op the
old cry, which seemed so satisfying to
the unthinking crowd that votes that
ticket and say: "Obi this Is a billion
and a half country." Tbe prediction
has been fulfilled sooner than wa expect
ed. The goldbug correspondent of tbe
Chicago Ilecord make a long argument
to prove that tb appropriation of tbia
congress wm not De .fiHuww,
but only a billion and a half. II then
says: "Efgbt year ago, when peopl
criticised the list a a billion-dollar con
gress, Hpuuker IUted remarked that this
wa a billlon-dollur country, and
suppose it is a niteen-nunorea-muiion
dollar country now,"
With out any doubt that will bepor-
foctly satisfactory to the mas of the
republicin party. They have long since
abandoned tfaelaborof doing any think
lug, and such a defense of tbe unparal-
oiled saturnalia of extravagance which
has been running riot at Washington
for the last year will be deemed all that
is necessary to say In dufenoe of the im
poverishment of the people. To just
such depth a that ha the republican
following sunk
"OOOO UKMOCKATW."
Tb Bil ver Knight claim that the rank
and file of the democratic party in New
York are a loyal to Jcffersonlan prin
ciples a nr the member of the party
in any other state. If they are, they
hare a very poor way of showing it.
First they tied up with Cleveland, then
they took to Dave Hill and now they
are under tb thumb of Croker, There
never wa viler trio of plutocrats than
these three men. They have run the
democracy of New York for the last fif
teen year. If there are any Jcfferaonlan
democrat loft in tbe state it la about
time that tbey were letting themselves
be known.
All that is necessary in New York to
get full fellowship in the party is to say,
"I am a democrat." Then ha may de
fund the trusts, advocate tbe gold stand
ard and suppcrt imperialism to bis
heart's content. lie Is a good democrat
all the same.
WHAT ECONOMISTS SAT
An old pop In tb northern part of the
tat writes to tb editor of the Inde
pendent and ask what political econo
mist ay about tariff and protection.
Th standard economists, those whose
works are text books in tb universities
and colleges say that tb creation of
wealth rests largely upon tbe facilities
with which exchanges can be made. As
an illustration in the simplest form:
Suppose that then is a community in
which there is a shoemaker and a car
penter. Now a shoemaker can make a
pair of shoes very quickly and well, bot
if the carpenter undertook the job it
would take bim a long time and then it
would be poorly done. Tbe carpenter
could do more work In one day in tbe
building of a house than a shoemaker
could do in three, and the shoemaker
could make more shoes In a week than
the carpenter could do in a month. Now
anything that would Interfere with the
facility with which the carpenter aud
shoemaker could exchange tbe products
of their labor would obviously retard
the production of houses and shoes.
Any hindrance to exchanges retard
production. All economist say that
exchanges should uotouly be free, but
governments should do all things possi
ble to facilitate them. Any restriction
put upon trade, whether In tbe way of
tariffs or license ha a tendency to re
tard the production of wealth by mak
ing exchange costly aud difficult That
Is hat the economists say.

Ing that Dwlght Moody, the evangelist,
was not genuine. If still hold his
meetings, but tbe results a fur a mak-
Ing tbe world better by making men
psrnmntly better, have amounted to but
little. That the spiiit of Christ who
said: "How hardly shall they that have
riches enter Into the kingdom of heaven."
and "It I easier for a camel to go
through the eye of a needle, than for a
rich man to enter Into the kingdom of
heaven," should be the controlling force
In such a man is Impossible. Comnars
these words' f Christ's with thefoilowlng
recent otters nos of Mr. Moody and then
answer honestly If It is possible, Mr.
Moody said: "I want to say that I know

Now these men whom Mr, Moodv
praises are not only rich men, but tbey
bav obtained tbeir riches by bribery.

ment rooms at Washington are full of
official, written and printed records, es-
caousning their guilt. Those are the
Ind of men that Christ denounced in
the most vehement word. It nt. Mr.

SENATORIAL SITUATION,
Tbe Independent ha been held back
half a'day in the hope that tbe republi
can would settle on a man for senator
so w could give the new in this week's
Issue. But it was all for nought. They
oont seem to be any nearer a cboise
than when they began to ballot once a
day a month or so ago. It was given
out that they had at last agreed to bold
a cancus and settle the matter there. A
lot of maneuvering was done by the
aspirants, rules were made, altered and
amended until tbey finally agreed. Borne
of tbem were to vote a secret ballot and
some an open one. Last night tbey
went in a caucus and cast nearly a hun
dred ballot and wound up juat where
they started except that Thompson
gained three votes, giving bim a total of
ixteen, and Hay ward lost two and
Webster lost one, Field had five and
Adams, Lambertson, and Talbot one
each. What will happen next no man
knows.
UANUKH IN IT,
Farmer have been sonding in petitions

the title of the bill, which is for the reg

butter, imitation cheese and dairy pro
ducts. Section of that bill contain
moro bad and imfumou legislation than
was ever heretofore crowded into one
act. It give to the accredited officers
of the food commission more arbitrary

set of men before under any government

protest"aglIlHst the bill." The bill that

concentration of wealth in a few hands
be stopped, and should it be more equal
ly distributed among all the people?
That is the fundamental thing in all
this reform movement.
Every man who will think for five
minutes cannot avoid the conoluaion
that the only way to distribute tbe
wealth of tbe country more evenly
among the people is to control the
volume of money. Of what do the great
fortunes of the moltimillionarfes mainly
consist? For tbe most part it is pieces
of paper containing a promise to pay
money, that is bonds and other secur
ities. Congress could distribute one
half of that wealth In one day among tbe
producers and taxpayers by doubling
the volume of money, It then would re
quire just one-balf as much of labor to
pay tbe Interest and principle on those
ftH.lt does now and tbe other half would
be lofTinthe hands of labor. That is the
way to stop tbe concentration of wealth
and distribute it more equitably among
uTTthe people. There Is no other
While tbe great dailies of New York

commercial bodies of that city are ap

cause of the decay of trade. Tbe trade
of New York, ha not only not kept
pace with the growth of population, but
has actually decreased for the lust eight
