-Mb.-Loyal American:
Dear Sir: Tours of the 23d at hand
and its contents carefully noted. In. re
ply I must say that I was as much eur
prised at its contents as you say you
were at seeing the scrap written by me
which you say you clipped from that
dirty sheet, meaning the Nebraska In
dependent. Your language did not sur
prise me a bit, nor your estimate placed
noon the best paper in the state. For
all mullet heads do the same. But I was
surprised to see how eager'you were to
claim the name and then pretend to be
Binn-ieved at the mere mention 01 such a
' thine bv roe. "
Then your talk about a man being
hung for publishing such sentiment back
in the sixties. You most have been in
sympathy with the rebellion, or what we
used to call copperhead too much of a
coward to no south whreyou belonged,
or take up arms in behalf of the cause
you advocate. I suppose you occupy
the same position today you stand
back to bark when some fellow says sic.
A Loyal American as you sign your
name is not afraid to sign his name to
the article he writes down for others to
read.'.' : "'
Now from what you say I judge that
you are an imperialist and are in favor
of this wholesale murdering of the Fili
pinos. Wbj? Jast because it is the poli
cy of this admieistration. Tbe honor of
the American republic is not considered.
No donbt you call youself a republican.
You belong to a party called repnbli
cans without the first republican princi
ple. It is owned and controlled by the
money combine of Europe and America,
and the results are what we see today,
millioniares, trusts, - land monopolies,,
railroad consolidations, strikes, tramps,
paupers, starvations, murders, suicides,
and last bnt not least the wholesale
murder of tbe Filipinos. All this yon
sanction by yonr vote. Now tell me
doesn't the name mullet bad fit you?
If you wish to be enlightened on the
great issues which are now confronting
the American people you should bunt
some authority higher than a subsidised

dirty sheet Irom which you plunked that
squib which so aroused your false patri
otism; for in its columns you will find
truths not. to be fonnd in any republican

. THE CAUSE OF TRUSTS.
The "mother ot the trusts" is not the
protective tariff; it is tbe gold standard
The latter causes prices to fall almost
continuously, because gold , being tbe
only metal upon which the full legal ten
der money quality is bestowed, the vol
ume of commodities increases faster than
the volume of money can increase
and the result is an almost constant fall
iUj price. Some men d,eny tbat tbe gold
standard is the cause of that great fall
in prices which is the most marked char
acteristic of modern industrial life, but
we have official testimony on that point
which is signally ignored. In fact, I do
not remember ever having seenjt re
ferred to. - j -
In the annual report of tbe Secretary
of the Treasury for 1873-4, there is
printed as a subordinate portion tbe re
port of Dr. H. Linderman, director of
the Mint, which report was written only
about ten months after silver was de-
monetised, and in which these words are
used: f
'The gradual adoption of tbe gold
standard and the consequent demoneti
zation of silver(by tbe United States and
other countries), will be followed by an
Dcrease in the value of gold, or what Is
the same thing a decrease in the price of
articles measured by it. In will be readi
ly understood tbat gold must appreciate
in vlue."
Dr. Linuerman was one of four conspi
rators in official li e who secured the de
monetizition of silver; and in these
words be tipped the wink to those who
read bis report to get from under as
prices were going to fall.
(A diagram is here inserted showing
the rise and tall of prices from 1837 to
1899.) The accompanying diagram
shows the average price line from 1837
to tbe present time. It illustrates the
great and persistent fall in prices which
has occurred since silver was demons
t'zed in 1873 and which will strangle civ
izition if it be not broken. Tbe dates
are taken mainly from tbe Aldrich report
and the diagram is from Parson's "Ra
tional Money." The line from J837 to
1873. is. of, course for bimetallic prices;
and from 1873 to 1898 for monometallic
prices. Tbe diagram is conclusively con
demnatory of metallic money and esiiec
tally so of monometallism. It shows
that, while under bimetallism prices fall
at times, an end to it comes at last, and
a rise in prices alternate; but that under
a gold standard there is a constant rela
tive contraction of tbe currency, and an
unending fall ii price. ... .
It will be observed tbat the present tail
in prices began really In 1866 with the
destruction of greenbacks. It was dur
ing a debate upon a further contraction
of this currency that Mr. Sherman said
in the Senate, January 27, 1869:
'Sir, It is not possible to take tbe voy
age without sore distress. 10 every
person except tbe capitalist out ot debt,
or to tbe salaried officer or annuitant, it
is a period 01 loss, a anger, iaituie 01
trade, fall of wages, suspension of en
terprise, bankruptcy, or disaster. . . It
means tbe ruin of all dealers whose deb's
are twice their capital, though one-tbird
less than their property. It means tha
fall of all agricultural productions with
out any great redaction of taxes.
Tbe formation of trusts is an effort to
escape the operation of the law of falling
prices; to escape tbat "loss, danger, lass
itude of trade . . . and bankruptcy"
wbicb Mr. Sherman refers to and what
he belied to inaugurate. Manufacturers
bave for thirty years bad to produce on
a constantly fnlliog market until general
ruin stared them in the face; and they
bad to go Into trusts or into bankrupt
cy. I repeat; protective tariff is not the
mother of trusts; the gold standard Is.

The corruption tbat has prevailed in
politics has wrought havoc In every di
rection. It has lowered tbe moral stand'
ard in all tbe professions. Twenty years
ago plagarism was deemed so vile an of
fense tbat few attempted it. Now it is
an every day occurrence. It is so common
in thenewspaper profession that nothing
is said about it any more. There has been
such a flagrant violation ot the laws ot
decency in that regard within tbe last
few days that perhaps it would be well
to mention'it although there is no pros
pect that anything that can be said now
will put a stop to it.
Dr. George E. Gorham wrote an article
that was published by the Outlook upon
faith or mind healing. Within. a week
more than a dozen leading dailies bad
editorials containing the substauce ot
that article without a word of credit to
either Dr. Gorham or the Outlook. It is
an able and scientific discussion of the
whole subject of Christian scieno?, faith
mind and prayer healing and it is not at
all strange that it attracted the atten
tion ot all who read . it. The Independ
ent has been requested by several differ
ent paries to reproduce It. The whole ar
ticle is too long for reproduction in this
paper, but the following is part of it.
The Doctor first explains at consider
able length the conscious and uncon
scions processes that go on in the human
body. He seems to think that the most
important of the two is tbe unconscious
The circulation ot the blood, the diges
tion of food, the operations of the lungs,
heart liver, and other organs are all un
conscious processes over wnicn tne will
has no control at all Ibese processes
are all greatly affected by such emotions
as fear, hope, faitb, as well as by fights
and sounds. ' The question in all these
cases is not what tbe thing was that ex
cites, suppresses or suspends the uncon
scions functions of the body but that
these functions have been arrested or
turned from their ordinary action. The-I
restoring of the unconscious functions to
their normal condition cures . many
diseases. He says:
Is it any wonder or miracle, that when
we eliminate fear and implant a steady,
serene raitn, our bodies recover irom
mauy ills? It is delicate work to make a
blood cell. There are 5,000,000 red and.
about 10,000 white corpuscles in oue
cubic millimeter, or about one drop of
blood. If a man were to count at the
rate of 100 per minute and qount eteadi
ly ten hours per day, it would take nim
about three months to count tbe cells
in oue drop ot blood. Think of the mill
ions and millions ot blood cells in tbe
body I And then we have muscle and
bone and bruin cells by the millions. All
these are tbe product ot that wonder
ful automatic machine operated by tbe
great sympathetic nervous system,
Study it operation when you will; the
child in tbe cradle, the soldier on the
battlefield or the aged tottering on tbe
staff and you will find it not controlled
by will bnt always disturbed by fear and
as truly encouraged and stimulated by
laitb. If sudden and great fear will so
thoroughly disturb all the grosser pro
cesses, is it unreasonable to suppose
tbat continued anxious tbougbt of a
milder character will disturb tbe more
delicate work ot making blood and
brain Culls. ,
Let us look again at tbe physiological
processes of tbe cbtld while faitb and
love are in the mind. We find no violent
beating of the heart, no tears, ho perspi
ration, no trembling of tbe muscles. In
the mouth saliva is flowing, and what is
this but the process of digestion started
by faitb expectanny? The child did not
will tbe saliva to flow, but unconscious
ife, true to the law which governs It re
sponded to tbe faith aud started at once
tbe process of digestion even before tbe
food entered tbe mouth. We find, when
the physiological processes are released
from the paralyzing grasp of tear aud
when they are immediately stimulated
by the influence of a deep faith, that tbe
improved operations of tbe manufactur
ing, repairing plant of tbe body are sucb
tbat what seems to be a miraculous cure
may be, and often is, tbe result. We flud
these cures in many, functional and in
souw organic diseases. Wherever we find
them we find fetrs have been dispelled
and a deep faith implanted. We flud it in
those who make a journey to some noted
shrine; we flud ft iu those wbo accpt
tbe teaching of Christian Science; we flud
it in tbose who accept the teaching of
Divine Healing; we find the devotees of
tbe difforent forms of Faith Healing im
movable in tbeir conviction tbat some
magical power has come from tbe olj ct
of their faith and wrought tbe cure; and
from tbe press, tbe pulpit, the medical
profession and the public come severe
criticism, ridicule and occasionally
sonud argument against the various
opinions. Careful observation will com
pel tbe fair investigator to admit tbat
cures are made. But tbe investigator
finds difficulty in accepting tbe explana
tion of tbe cures when be is asked to be
lieve tbe power comes from a shrine
or a stone; or when be is asked to believe
therein no real disease tbe matter but
all is mind. And the problem is no easier
for many when asked to believe that
God wrought a miracle. If one can ac
cept what a systematic study of tbe pro
cesses of tbe body seems to prove, t hat
tbe sympathetic nervous system and its
functional activities tbat is tbe making
and repairing of the body are so bound
to tbe conscious life tbat tbey respond
to fear and faith in a far greater degree
than we bave thought and tbe release ol
fear and the stimulating tff cts of laitb
so Improve tbe workiug of tbe mannfac
tnriug plant of the body tbat cures are
the result we then bave a principle which
will aid in tbe solution of the whole prob
lem e l faith cures. From a physiological
standpoint on- must say tbat be wbo is
cured by faitb has simply complied with
onsof the Died laws of the body. This
law Is universal regardless ol tbe sound
ness ot tbe faitb.
Tbs unconscious processes respond to
faith as they do to tear, blindly, It
makes no difference to tbem what one
believes, only so he believes it strongly
enough to produce deep feeling, The
physical and mental changes wrought (a
our bodies through substituting faitb;
a faith tbat amounts to genuine expect
ancy, leaving no shadow of fear or
doubt; substituting such a faith for anx
tous thought, often produces a most
salutary effect. We And this law oper
ating to meet a cur when one makes a
journey to some noted shrine. When
one is cured by adopting Christian
Science we find tbis law operating. When
Cu'- it cured in answer to prayer, we find
ftuaiu that this law of our lite has been
complied with. When one is suddenly
brought into tbe presence of some intel
lectual giant and social lion, a feeling ot
embarrassment, fear, enters the mind,
the tffect of which is to cripple and dis
turb every process of the body. : One
cannot talk well, eannot think well; even
the voice will tremble and not sound
natural. If one sits at luncheon with
sucb an awe-inspiring dignitary, be can
non even eat well, he has not much ap
petite, be has not even good control of
bis hands, and, if he attempts conversa
tion, he finds his ideas do not come
readily. Suppose one comes into the
presence of a sympathising friend who
excites all the ennobling emotions of
love, trust, hope and courage, None ol
tbe crippling effects of fear if in the body,
but the whole life is stimulated by the
faitb and trust one has in the friend.
Thoughts come quickly and freely. The
body is at ease aud its functions go on
steadily and well.
Ibe unconscious processes ot the body
are only doing tbeir best when they feel
the throb ot a great faitb, a great hope,
love, and courage. When one goes to
God in prayer for cure of a disease with
such faitb and love tbe unconscious pro
cesses respond at once aud do tbeir full
duty. But we should discriminate and
know how much, and what, God does
through these unconscious processes. All
tbe accidents and ills of tbe body should
not be left to tbe care of unconscious
me. rnysioiogy teaches us tbat it was
never so intended by our creator. The
conscious life should do it j part when
the body is assailed by disease or acol
dent, Suppose a car wheel passes over
tbe leg and crushes the bones, severs an
artery and fills tbe wound with gravel
and dirt: here conscious life is called uo-
on by tbe agonizing pain, by the sight
01 the spurting artery, to act, aud aot
promptly. The artery should be ligated
instead of waiting for unconscious life
to plug it with a clot of blood. The dirt
should be removed, instead ot waiting
for tbe slow rocess ot supperation and
ejection by unaobsclous life. The bones
should be placed and supported by . me
chanical means in a normal position, in
stead of allowing tbe unconscious pro
cesses to unite them in the position in
which the accident left them. To trust
such a case to the efflo'ency ot prayer
would be to sacrifice a human life.
An acute iufl tmation of tbe eye Is of
ten found in young children, which may
be cured it recogbized early and proper
medical treatment be applied. If neg.

result. Shall we reason that, because a

medical men and was then promptly
cured by accepting and ptttmg into
practice tbs theories of Mrs. Eddy, tbe
acid has no power to kill or cause pain?
Shall we deny that it has substance and
say, "All is mind"? And shall we say tbat
the cure wiiioh was made under Christian
Science was made by tbe stimulating
enect 01 a deep laitb to which tbe pbys
iological processes responded, and that
in tbe case of tbs acid tbe physiological
process cannot cope with tbe poison
and that the conscious life is called upon
to act and remove the acid from the
stomach? Faith is not sufficient in such
cases, it is a violation of a law to rest
in faith and trust, and not use the intel
ligence given us. From these observa
tions, we have come to the following con
clusions: First, That cures are made
under all systems of faith-healing, cures
of many functional and some organic
diseases, which often have resisted for a
long time all regular methods of treat.
ment. Second, That in no single in
stance is a cure made which may not be
made by au improved condition of tbe
unconsoious processes of the body, re
sulting from the elimination ot anxious
tbougbt and the substitution of a deep
faith and trust' Third, That the power
wbicb works the cure comes in all cases
from these improved physical operations
of the body, and not in any magical
way from tbe obj ict of the faith.
r aith cures by medical men are seldom
brought to publio notice, but I trust I
maybe pardoned if. to illustrate my
point, I mention a few which have come
uuder my personal observation. A few
years ago a woman lay in bed, paral
szed tbe greater part of tbe winter. A
bot iron or ice applied to the legs pro
duced no pain, a knife thrust through
tbe skin produced no pain. The patieut
could not move tbe legs; many other
troublesome symptoms contiuued for
weeks and weeks, notwithstanding the
best efforts ot tbe medical attendants
A noted specialist train New York gave
as his opinion that a serious organic
disease of the spinal cord existed, and
tbat reoovery was very doyjhtful. An
other pbysioian was called, wbo, after
careful study, decided tbat no serious
disease of tbe cord existed, that the funo-
wonai activinea 01 ids unconscious pro
cesses of tbe body were on a strike as it
were; in other words, it was a case of
hysterical paralysis. He therefore said
to the patient: "I can cure you, if you
can endure the treatment; it will be se
vere." Tbe patient assented, and tbe
worst tasting medioina was given, and
tbe most paiulul application of electric
ity applied. - "'
In such heroic measures the patient
had a great faith, and as soon as the
faith entered the mind the unconsoious
prooeesiMi responded, and the paralysis
was cured.
. The next day the patient got op 'and
dressed without aid. ,
In a neighboring city a young lady
lay for months In bed, and at every at
tempt to assume the sitting posture sbe
would faint and become unconscious.
Tbe faithful rfforta of a skilled physician
failed to relieve her. A physician from j
another city was called, In whom the
patient and the family had more confi
dence, more faith. This physician told
her tbat riding in the open air would
curs her, and that It she would . take
hourly, for six hours, very bitter rem
edy, it would prevent the fainting. The
patient believed, bad faith, took the
lemedy and tbe ride without tainting,
and was cured. ;
AS
A young man, Irom ovsrstudy la
school, broke down with what is called .
nervous prostration. Tbs digestive sys
tem refused to do its work; there was
entire loss of appetite. For weeks all
tempting foods were tried in vain. Fi
nally he was put to bed, and forced
feeding ot hot milk was attempted.
What is known as hysterical vomiting
occurred, aud all nourishment would be
ejected Irom tbe stomach. Paralysis of
eyelid came on, so that for weeks one '
eye was closed, and could be opened only
by the band. Different physicians were
called. Mountain air and etiangs of
scenery. were tried, all with no substan
tial Improvement. The boy, one day,
was made to understand how his diges
tive system responded to faith and fear.
He was told that, so long as he expected '
tbe stomach to throw up the food, it
would continue to do so; but that, if be
could get a real faith, the stomach
would digest tbe food, it would obey tbs
law, respond to the faith, and do so.
The light dawned upon him, and a new
faith and hope filled his mind. Hs ate
and retained bis supper tbat night. No
further vomiting occurred. The paraly
sis disapseared; he gained fifteen pounds
in three weeks; was well, and has so re
mained. These are faith cures, but not
miracles. Such cures aie recognized by
the medical profession as cures bv sag
gestion. It is the physiological eftMt of
the faith that cures. Tbe Great Faith
Healer, when the woman was cured, af
ter touching his garment, turned and
said; "Woman, thy faith hath made
thee whole."
