Tbe banker will not advocate any

A VAMPAIOM !Ot UM KMT. "
Tbe editor of tbt Independent found
quwrdocumont lying on a tuble in out
of tbt room of the oapltol. Jt pur
p jrta to be tbt conclusions of throe mul
let bead wbo cam to tbl town not
long ago ond Imagined tbat they wer
an Invasthrating commlttM. Tbt docu
meat Is written up In a humorous ttylu
and roulirdoo contoln some very
flue l ikes, Oa pug ten I a good one,
It I a follows:
"Wt art owart tbat tb wltnta F.
moos, having coahMsoa that u is a
party to tbe crime, stand lu tlie light
of a witness whose testimony should bt
recolvid wltb caution, ' The d
Mcrlptbn given ' by tht w I tries Hlmons
with refureno to the methods used in
marblug these ballots was befor the
commute previon to tbt opening of
tht package containing the ballots,
and therefor befor either Mr. ftlmoue
or tb commute bad Inspected them.
Wfaeo tbt ballot wer opened tb man
ner In wblcb tbey wer marked, clearly
corroborated tb testimony previously
given by tbl witness,"
Tbt commlttM started out to prov
tbot Holcomb or some other populist
bad been guilty of changing tb ballot
on tb recount on tb constitutional
amendments, Tbey report tbey found
tbot Simon did it and tbat tbey bavt
oonclusivt proof that bdid It, because,
first, bt said bt did It and tbat be told
tbern bow bt did it, and when' tbey
opened tbt package tbey found It bad
been don In just tb way tbat Hlmons
said bs did It. Then tbey com to tb
conclusion, not tbat Blmon should be
sent to tht penitentiary, but tbat Hol
comb or sorn other populist should.
It appear from th testimony that
on Iledlund. wbo was Kugciio Moor'
deputy and wbo never found anything
wrong wltb tbt auditor office under hi
management, gov testimony of tb
sitine sort wltb Hlmons, The com ml tie
do Dot recommend tbat the said Hid
und should be tent to tb penitentiary,
bnt still Insist that torn populist must
be nt up, AU of wblcb make tbls
document a very funny plec of writing.
Wbetbtr th tyl I tbat of tb typ
writer mployd or a brilliant attempt
at humor by th mullet bead them
selves, doe not appear on tbt face of
tbt document. However, it wllLbt a
great campaign document for tbt pop
when tbey get to going alter tu noml

BS UOT MAI).
Tbt editor met a mullet bead on 0
street the other day where a lot of new
street paving wltb brick Is being doiit.
Tbe mullet bead said: "Just look down
tbat street and set the hundreds of men
at work and tht Improvements being
mads under tbia McKluley administra
tion." v
"Do you coll that a sign of proeiwr-
Ityt" ht waa aaknd.
"Yea I do b replied," be replied, not
outy a sign of prosperity but a demon
stration of it." .
"Is going In debt a demonstration of
prosperity?"
"Well. no. I sould rot rev that It waa
but what ba that to do wltb this ques
tion?
"Every thing to do with it Thecitv
ha sold bonds, gone la di-lit and hired
oil lhaot laborers. Is Increasing vour
dt bts a demonstration of proaprrttj?"

said tbat this pop editor didu't know

A political meeting wa held in Lincoln
under tbe falsa prcten tbat it was held
to arrange for tbt reception of tbe First
Nebraska. Two mullet head I were ap
pointed o o commlttes. It wot o purr
ly local affulr, no ont taking any port
In it eicept resident of Lincoln. Then
these two mullet bead went out to flan
Francisco and announced tbat tbey wer
tb only person that bad any authority
to represent tbt whole state of Nebraska
and that tbt governor of tbt state, the
adjutant general and member of tbe
governor's stuff weren't In it at oil, and
bod no authority to make any arrange
ment to tak car of tbboy when tbey
landed. A a specimen of mullet bead
cheek, this take tb cake. Tbey even
got o Bod Francisco paper to announce
tbat tb governor bad no business there,
that be bad run away from bis state,
intiaking off to a country towa to buy a
ticket so that tbt people would not
know tbat be wan running away. If all
that was so, why did not tht two mullet
bead bavt tb governor put In iron
and returned to tbe state where be be
longs? It I a wonder that they didu't
try. .
Little Kuklee, Clevelnnd' comptroller
of tb currency bo com forth again a
instructor of tb American people In tbe
cinnu of money, II i a good republi
can now, ao it anid. He I afraid that
tbanest oongres will not retire tbe
greenbacks. Jl therefor ay (hat
they art vowardt ami will do nothing
morttban authorise tb bank to In
crease tbelr circulation. Ho Euklo Is
about a mad a a midget con get and
make dire throat upou the wbojo
crowd. Tbt truth about tbt matter is
tbat tbt populitt doctrint concerning
money has taken ucb a bold upon the
eastern state thattb republicans ar
about soared out of their usual wit,
Tbor I no enemle' country for sclun
tide money any mor. Tb common
people of tbt east art just beginning to
understand tbt question.
Tb Fingre municlpol ownership bus
iness In Detroit seem to bt exclusively
of lb republican variety, Its purpove
I to pay Tom Johnson 117,000,000.
Tb real ond tangible property (hot
Tom ba to turn over ba been estimated
by competent expert and tbey any it I
worth 7,000,000. Tb other $10,000,
000 i to pay Tom for' the value of bis
franchise wblcb cost blot nothing. To
all of that Filigree agree. ,Tberefoi we
soy that Flngret' plan of municipal
ownership In Detroit ba nothing In
common with 'populism, but I exclu
sively republican. Wbnt else could be
xpected of a man wbo I an ardent sup
porter of tb republican party. We've
bad enough of Flngret ond Tom John
on too,
Tb McKioley policy I making en
mle of oil tb Houtb American republic,
Correspondent In tb south report tbot
wbllttwo year ago all those republics
looked upon th United Btate a a sort
of elder brother, tbey ar now all aus
picious and expecting tbat their turn
for annexation will come next. Tb fact
I that tbl administration I making
enemies of tbt whole world except Great
Britain, our ancient enemy, and wbo
will be our enemy again just a soon as
she sees It her Interest to bo so, We will
not recover i from the evil effect of this
McKluley policy for year to come, nor
gain our former standing among the
nations of the earth until tblt pol cy of
grabbing and greed bat been abandoned,
Tbt gold bug bavt coined a new
phrase. Tbey coll greenbacks "fiduciary
currency" ond announce In stately
phrase that "it valui depanda, not on
its volume but on th estimate placed
by ths pudllo upon it future worth."
Ho valus Is not an "intrinsic" quality
but Is an "estimate" madaby thehumnn
mind. A gold bug never opened bla
mouth yet tbat be did not put bis fool
In It. Hut Is not this eetlinateot future
value made upon (ha probable "quan
tity" of "fiduciary rurrrucy" ibat will
m In elrt uUtiob? If It la not. upon
what la tba estimate made? H

ral Cevera I In prison waiting trial now,
Tbe populists of Nebraska have been
rlgbt la tbe middle of tht road that led
to victory for tbt last four years. They
are not going to leave It to follow out
any blind by path such a ar con
vtantly pointed out to them by H tub

Wben tht borrowed money be oil
been spent, then there Willi be just us
many Idle men In Lincoln a there were
before tht recent afreet Improvement
wer undertaken Then the slow grind
will begin over again and the pressure
to pay Increased Interest charge will
bt harder than ever to bear,
i bre mullet bead cam to Lincoln
and upon learning tbat Governor Hoi
comb bad left nearly $700.00 in the
treasury tbat b bod a perfect legal
right to draw out, and that being a
thing that do republican was ever known
to do, tbey got In such a roge tbat they
wanted tb attorney-general to prose-
cut him at all baxard.
Andrew Carueglt ay It I a disgrace
to die rich, Ye Andrew, ' tbat I true,
but It I a thousand time more disgrace
ful to get rich by subsiding congres for

to make you rich. You rhould find that
out befor you die, or Ht. I'eter will be
asking you question about it when you
wont him to put th gate ajar to let

Tbat' tb unvarnished truth about
th matter.
Tb thing that we ar proudest of is
that our candidate for president Is so

COMCBMTBATIOM OF WEALTH.
Every true economist In tbe world bo
pointed out tbe danger resulting from
the concentration of wealth. Especially
during tbe last thirty year have they
dwelt upon It -wltb increasing force.
Notwithstanding tliwie repented warn
ing tbe people have failed to tee tbt
calamities tbat are sure to follow, Now,
for tbe first time, are th people being
awakened to tb Importance of the sub
ject, although the populist bave been
trying to Impress It upon them for IE
last eight yoari,
Tb Increase in tb purchasing power
of money started (bis concentration and
that bos steadily worked for tbe making
of millionaire und pauper for tha lust
quarter of a century, Now a tremend
ou impetus to concentration ba Iton
added by tb formation of (rust.
Tbat can be dually comprehended by tb
examination of tb working of a few of
tbern. Tak the Irou and steel trust for
on example. Itafor tb formation of
tbt trust tb wealth wblcb cam from
th production of iron and steel wa
distributed among many thousund of
ttcu manufacturer and laborer. Now
moat of that wealth goes Into the baud
of a few.
Tb trust buy out tha Norri and
other mine In the (iogohlo range, and
I from thenceforth uo longer a pur.
chaser of iron ore. Tb vast Fitlsburg
Iron furnace or supplied with or Irom
mine owned and operated by tb own-.
er of the trust, Tbt independent Iron
or men find no market for tbelr ore;
not becaus there I less consumption,
out because tbe great consumer are no
longer purchaser. Th result of tbl ia
that all of tb iron or producer In
northern Michigan ar ruiued and tb
employer and tb employe ar both
prohibited from longer participating in
or receiving a sbure of tb wealth that
come from th production of Iron and
ateel, Tbe tbor tbat facrctofor went to
tbern, I oow concentrated In tb bond
of those tow wbo own tb trust,
Tb Htaudard Oil trutt, tb wool pulp
trust, tb stock yard trust, tbe tobacco
trust, and every other trust work to
concentration of wealth la few band in
tb same way. It will not be long, a
tb Independent bu to oft on said, until
tbl country will b reduced to a nation
of hirelings, working for tb trust wltb
a few Immensely rich (rust owner a tb
employer, Tbl will eventually reach
to to tb farming population, Col. A. J,
Scott, candidate for attorney general of
Kentucky, recently mad tb following
statement:
"I met a representative of th tobacco
trust lust week, wbo told in (hat here
after Kentucky faraAir would be paid
only ix cent a pound for tbelr crops, I
told him tbat tobacco could Dot be
raised for tbat price. . He said tbey
would bt compelled to raise It for tbat
price, or els tbt (rust would buy, land,
Import cheap Italian labor, ond rale It
own tobacco. He furfber told rue (bat
tb coffe trust bod don tb earn wltb
tbe coffe planter and aucceedod, and
tb tobacco trust would do likewise,"
In Ibe future, if tbl thing I not
checked, it will moke no dlffureuc what
a man' ability may be, If be is born
outside the ownership of a (rust, h will
haveuo opportunity to rise above tb
station in whlub bo I born. Have tb
populists over stated th matter when
tbey bave constantly anHi rUd tbat tbia
nation waa fast becoming o land of mil
lionaires and serfs?
Already tbe meat trust controls tb
price of cattle with just aa much cer
tainty us ths rUe and fall of th tide.
They own Immeiisa rnnche where they
raise tbelr own cattle. They bave
tliouHonds of them always ready for
the market. If cattle or scarce ond the
pntw bigin to rise, they simply quit
buying until tbe yards ore ovwfloaiiig
wltn t lii'in end In tbe meaullnia slaugb

do (bis simply because ol tbe comvntra
Hon of enormous capital in (he control

bi-rsof Ih trust have Inrgs rauehea iu
Tixae, Colorado ond other wi stern
