BROOKLYN TO LEAD SQUADROH.
Gunboat Marietta and Maohlaa Included
; In Thoae Going On Recommendation
of Admiral Dewey the Preildent Takei
I Energetic Measures.
' Washington, Oct. 5. The president
has directed the immediate dispatch to
the Philippines of a number of vessels
of the navy, including the cruiser Brook
lyn and the gunboats Marietta and
Machias. The action is the result of
Admiral Dewey's interview yesterday,
in which he went over the Philippine
situation with the president.
The vessels ordered are in line with
the president's determination to furnish
the army and navy every resource for
stamping out the insurrection at the
earliest possible date. At Admiral
Dewey's extended interview with the
president, the former went into the
Philippine situation at great length, ex
plaining the exact condition and his
views of the outlook, concluding with
an earnest recommendation that the
Brooklyn and some other vessels be sent
at once to the Philippines. This rein
forcemeat of the present fleet of the
Asiatic squadron he urged as necessary,
and said their dispatch should bo di
rected as early as possible. The presi
dent immediately instructed the secre
tary of the navy to issue an order car
rying out the admiral's recommenda
tion and to see that they be got in read
iness at once. The Marietta and
Machias, besides the Brooklyn, will be
designated by the navy department,
along with several other vessels which
have not yet been selected.
The Brooklyn is now with the other
Vessels of the North Atlautio squadron
off Tompkinsville. The Machias and
the Marietta are at present lying M tne
wharves in this city on waiting orders,
having been brought here to participate
in this week's celebration in honor" of
Admiral Dewey. These . reinforce
ments will add considerable strength to
the Asiatic squadron, and the adminis
tration believes their presence will have
a material effect in expediting the end
ing of hostilities. It is not known how
soon these vessels can be made ready,
but their orders are to get away as
early as psssible and no delay is antici
pated. Their commanders will report
to the department when they are, ready
to proceed, and on arriving at Manila
will report without delay to the ad'
ruiral commanding the Asiatic Etation
for orders. : .

gave notice that the department was
willing to give him perfect liberty to do
as he pleased. The admiral was, how
ever, at his instance detached formally
from the Olvmpia. He telegraphed the
executive officer of the ship at Tomp
kinsville to haul down his flag, thus
terminating his connection with the
cruiser, which for more than two years
has been his home.
In accordance with projects already
planned the admiral will go to Vermont
Monday as the guest of W. Seward
Webb of Shelburne farms, near Bur
lington. After a reception at the state
capital he will go to Boston to attend
the reception there in his honor Oct. 14.
The Olympia will, meanwhile, have ar
rived at that place for her orders, issued
today, which are to proceed at once
from New York to Boston, to be put
ontof commission and be extensively
repaired.

THE
' Cueter County.
Editor Independent: Cyclone Davis,
of Texas, has come and gone from Cus
ter CyuDty, bnt the spirit and en thus
tasm which- he awakened is beyond
measure. ;
Like the parable of the sower, the
seeds he has sown in the heads and
beans of our citizens has fallen upon
good ground and will bring forth fruit
an hundred told.
These meetiags have had the effect of
changing the doubtful, lukewarm, and
discouraged, to aggressive, positive, and
hopeful campaigners who will work
cheerfully and earnestly for the success
of reform principles.
Davis' plea aainBt tmpearialism, and
for the fundamental principles upon
which our government is founded, was
so logical, earnest and patriotic, and
was illustrated with such vivid word
painting tnat the audience was wildly
enthusiastic. '
His talk on the money question was
unanswerable as to the legal right of
the American people to coin both gold
and silver at the present ration to
pay their debts according to contract;
also their right to issue all the paper
money necessary for use by the people.
He spoke ep.rnestly of the duty of the
present generation to so direct tne at'
fairs ot this nation that the legacy we
leave our children and our children's
children shall not be one of debt, op
pressiou and despair. That it is laid
upon us to so direct affairs that our
posterity will bless us and rejoice be
cause ot our wise and just course or
condemn and revile because of our luclj
of wisdom and justice.
Mr. Davis, Wni. Neville, candidate for
congress, sixth district, and II, M. Sul
livan, candidate for judge, twelfth ju
licml district, spoke in the court house
September 27, both afternoon and even
ing, to several hundred people, nolwith
standing the weather was, very windy
and dmajrrt-eabie. .
Very many people came a dis'ance of
twenty aud twenty. hve miles, and ex
pressed their satisfaction by giving high
est praiwe to the speakers.
Mr. Neville impressed the audience
verv favorably by his forcible business
line speech, aud eeveral expressed the
opinion, in my hearing, that it would
require more than tkxving sentences and
eophietry to turn him from a. course
which he thought it his duty to pursue.
1 The uioBt prominent republican paper
in the county employed a reporter to
take Davis' speech iu the afternoon, but
in the evening the reporter's table was
unoceupiafl and the editor was o lie red
advertising rates if he fould run the
speech, bb reported, in bis paper during
the campaign. '
The meeting at Callaway the 29th was
a repartition of our meeting here both
in numbers attending and general en
thustaein. Mr. Neville did not attend
as he bad an appointment elsewhere but
was exceedingly well- represented by
Mn Fiabearty of Ogalalla. who is a very
clear, forcible and entertaining speaker.
We will men 'ion one more incident
which struck terror to the hearts of our
republican friends and quickened the
pulse of every old time worker for re
form. ;
Uncle Swain Finch or "Crazy Horse,"
as (he republicans christened him, sat
near the speaker's stand and as the
speaker drove each nail in the coffin of
the g. o. p.(and clinched it by ,an apt
ilJustrat an, Uncle Bwain's war whoop
would ring out as of yore. . It will echo
and 're echo through this city of the
seven Valleys; and be taken up by the

pies u pon which this nation were founded

BRYAN ON TRUSTS
(Continued from last week.) -
"Another thing that, in my judg
ment, has aided monopoly is a high
tariff. Nobody can dispute that a
tariff law, an import duty, enables a
trust to charge for ita product the
price of a similar foreign product
plus the tariff.
"It has been suggested that dis
crimination by railroads has aided
the trusts. No question about it. If
one man can secure from a railroad
better rates than another man he
will -lie able to run the other man
out of business. And there is no
question that discrimination and fa
voritism secured by one corporation
against another producer arid a rival
have been largely instrumental in en
abling a desired monopoly to become
practically a complete monopoly.
Now that can be remedied by law?
that will prevent this discrimination,
and when we prevent the discrimi
nation, when we place every produc
er upon the same footing and abso
lutely prevent favoritism, monopoly
may still exist, the remedy must
go further. It must 1h? complete

enough to prevent organization of
a monopoly.
"Now what can be done to prevent
the organization of a monopoly? I
rather think we differ more in rem
edy than we do in our opinion-of
the trust. I believe we ought to have
remedies in both state and nation,
and that they should be concurent
remedies. In the first place, every
state has, or should have, the right
to create any private corporation
which in the judgment of the people
of the stats is conducive to the wel
fare of the people of that state. I
believe we can safely intrust to the
people of a, state the settlement of
a question -'h concerns them. If
they create corporation and it be
comes destructive of their , best m
terests they can destroy that corpor
ation, and we can safely trust them
both to create and to annihilate if
conditions make annihilation neces
sary. In the second place, the state
has, or should have, the right to pro
hibit any foreign corporation from
doing business in the state, and it
ought 'to-have or has the right to
impose such restrictions arid limita
tions as the people of the state, may
think necessary for foreign corpora
tions doing business in the state. In
other words, the-people of the state
not only should have a right to ere
ate the corporations they want, but
they should be permitted to protect
themselves against any outside cor
poration. x
"But I do not think this is suf
ficient. I believe in. addition to a
state remedy there must be a federal
remedy, and 1. believe congress has,
or should have, the power to place
restrictions, and limitations, even to
the point of .prohibition, upon any
corporation organized m one state
that wants to do business outside of
the Mae.
Having remarked that he did not
think the people of one state could
be relied upon by the people of an
other state in the management of a
corporation, Col. 'Bryan read a letter
that he said had been sent out by a
Delawere trust company. Ihe let
ter' was devoted to an exhibit pur
porting to show how much better
corporations 'fared under the laws
of Delaware than under those of
News Jersey, the so-called "home of
trusts." At the conclusion of the
reading of the letter a voice came
from the gallery: , '
''Colonel, Delaware and New Jer
sey are both democratic states, are
they not?" ,'
."They were not in 1896." (Cheers
and applause.)
The speaker continued:
"I have read this letter to show
you that where a state can gain an
advantage from the ' incorporation
of these great aggregations of wealth
it is not safe to place the people of
other states at the mercies of. the
people of such a state as may desire
to secure its running expenses from
the taxation of corporations organ
ized to prey upon people outside. So
I read the letter to show how impos
sible it is for us in one state to de
pend for protection upon the people
in another state; and while, as I say,
I believe the people of every state
should have the power to create cor
porations and restrain and limit or
annihilate, yet I believe no complete
remedy can be found for the trust
until the federal judgment, with a
power sufficiently comprehensive to
reach into every nook and corner of
the country, phall lay ita hands up
on these trusts and declare that they
shall no longer exist. (Applause.)
"Now I am here to hear and re
ceive and to adopt any method that
anybody can propose that looks to
the annihilation of the trusts. One
method has occurred to me, and to
me it seems a complete method. It
may not commend itself to you. If
you have something better I shall ac
cept it in the place of this which I
am about to suggest. But the meth
od that "occurs to me is this: That
congress should pass a law providing
that no corporation organized in any
state should do business outside the
state in which ji is organized until
it receives from some power created
by congress a license authorizing it
to do business outside of its own
state. (Applause.) ' Now, if the cor
porations must come to this body
created by congress to secure per
mission to do business outside the
state, then that license can be grant
ed upon conditions which will, in,
the first place, prevent the watering
of stock; in the second place, will
!revent monopoly in any branch of
usiness; and, third, provide ' for
publicity as to all of the transac
tion and business of the corpora
tion. (Applause.)
A voice "Colonel, would such a
law lie constitutional?"
"I was going to cover that. I am
glad you mentioned it. What I mean
to say is this, that congress Ought
now to pasi such a law. If it in un
constitutional, and so declared by
the supreme court, I am in favor of
an amendment to the constitution
that will give to congress power to
destroy every trust in the country.
fApplause.) The first condition
which I suggested was that no water
should be allowed in the stock. 1
don't agree with those who say it is
a matter entirely immaterial whether
a corporation has water in its stock
or not. ' It' is true that in the long
run, if you are able to run as long as
the run is, you may squeeze the wat
er out of the stock, but during all
that time the harm goes on; during
all that time the trust demands the
right to collect dividends upon capi
tal represented by no money what
ever. I do not believe any state
should permit the organization of
any corporation with a single drop
of water in the stock of that corpor1
ation. (Applause.) The farmer
cannot -Inflate the value of his land
by watering the value of that land.
The merchant in the store cannot in
flate the value of the goods upon his
shelves. Why should the corpora
tion be permitted to put out "stock
that represents no real value? In my
judgment, when you take from mo
nopoly the power to issue stock not
represented by money you will go
more than half the way toward de
stroying monopoly in the United
States?. (Applause.) x
, "I do not go as far as some do
and say , there shall bo no private
corporations, but I say this, that a
corporation is created by law, it is
created for the public good, and it
should never be permitted to do a
thing that is injurious to the public
good (applause), and that if any
corporation enjoys , any privileges
today which are hurtful to the pub
lic,those privileges ought to bo with
drawn from it. In other words, I
am willing that we should first see
whether : we can preserve the. bene
fits of the corporation and take from
it the possibilities of harm. ,
, "I want to add to 'what I have
said to this extent: -'My contention
has been that we have been placing
the dollar above the man; that we
have been jiicking out favorites in
government, and have -"been bestow
ing upon them special privileges, and
every advantage we have given them
has been 'given them -to the detn
mcnt of other people. My contention
is that there is a vicious, principle
running through the various policies
which we have been pursuing; that
in our taxation we have been impos
ing upon the great struggling
masses the burdens of government,
while we have been voting the priv
ileges to the people who will not
pay their share of the expenses of
the government. (Applause.)
"Kvery unjust tax law is an in
direct form of larceny. If, for in
stance, a man who ought to pay $10
only pays $5, and one, who ought to
pay $5 pays $10, the law that com
pels this contribution from these two
men virtually takes $5 from one
man's pocket and puts that $5 in
another man's pocket, and I have
claimed that when we collected our
taxes we were making the poor peo
ple pay not only their own share,
but the share, of men whom they
have no chance to meet at the sum
mer resort (Applause.) And I have
been gratified to note the progress
you have been making in Illinois
(applause) toward a more equitable
division and a more equitable dis
tribution of the burdens of govern
ment. "I heard it stated that there was
a time only a few years ago when the
agricultural implements owned by
the farmers living within the city
limits of Chicago were assessed for
more money than was assessed
against all the other people who
lived within the limits of the city
of Chicago. I don't know whether
it was true or not, but I saw it stated
as a fact.' There are some people
who have visible property, and the
visible property is always taxed. The
invisible property has too often es
caped, and as the result the people
owning visible property have paid
not only their own taxes but the
taxes that should have been paid by
the owners of invisible property, and
I have advocated an income tax be
cause I have believed it the most just
tax. , I don't mention it to argue
the subject here, because I want to
avoid the discussion of - questions
that might be in the nature of parti
san or political capital. But I only
mention it in following out the sug
gestion I made in reply to a ques
tion that if this government will go
out of business of picking out fav
orites and follow the doctrine of
equal rights to all and special privi
leges to no man (applause), if it will
do that I have no fear that any man
by his own brain and his own mus
cle will be able to secure a fortune so
great as to be a menace to the wel
fare of his fellow-men.
"WhenOod made man as the cli
