2 THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT November 30, 1890. CLIPPINGS IN THAT DAY. Pew people fully appreciate the dan- lurking in the rapid eonsoiiaa tioa of capital in vented in factorfet), mills, furnaces, forests, packing and transportation. When once these branches of industry are securely bound in ar many trust and the.se trust formed into one gigantic corporation, or trust, with a single head, then may the people xpcct an industrial slavery to over arpread our country with a pall, the like f which has never been seen, which will throw into the shade the conditions of the French people just prior to the rev vfation. Then will this central monster, controlled by the god Mammon, allow the producer so much profit on what he produces, and tlx the wage the day (laborer shall receive and collect from the consumer as much as he can give from that which he has to live on. In that day the republic will totter on its foundation, the complaining American oitisen will be driven at the point of the bayonet into silence and a half million soldiers protect the vested rights of the rich truHt magnates, and officials hold ver, for fear the rabble may elect an "anarchist" to office. The imperialist and the one favoring a large army are hastening the day; though many of them say the American people can be trusted to settle all things right. All people oan be trusted to grow indifferent to any very day blessing and permit ambitious i designing men, prompted by the greed ef gain, to attend to public affairs, and in this way all republics have been over turned.

It appears indisputable, though re Kretable that our Anglo-Saxon cousins think of the relationship duly when they aeed the relations, but have no room for any feeling of solidarity when they have it chance to do business at our expense.

"I doubt," says a well known and widely observant Washington correspondent, "if any pri vate firm, bank or corporation, or any institution in tne world tnat receives and disburses money can show so good a record, and yet we keep talking about the inefficiency and corruption of the public service." Hut, hush! This will never do. If we talk this way the people may begin to think the government ca pable of taking hold of such monopolies as tho railroads and running them as common carriers for the public benefit and not as special discriminating car rier for certain powerful private inter intorosts.

ECONOMIC DISCUSSION For the Reflection of the City and Country .Merchants a well uh all whe are Inter eKted In the Cause of Humanity I'omUI Fractional Currency . and Parcels Fost Delivery. Editor Independent: Free postal deliv ery has actually come, $300,000 worth of it it, and the people are delighted with it, The parcels pot is one pf the next things to come, and indeed the press is already agitating the matter and can vaasing the country for It nupport and adoption. Tho following is one of the many press notices: It has got to come. The people de mand that fractional currency be fur nished at every postofllce at par in 5, 10, 25 and 50 cent denomination?. Have a Another Cabinet Officer. A Washington news Item gives cur rency to the following as part of the "expansion" programme: "The Republican position on the Philippines, toother with the aequisl- uuu oi rorio uico and Hawaii, makes It necessary that a new department of tne government shall be established. The president has foreseen this and iu his message to congress will recom mend the establishment of such a de partment. The department of com merce will be the name, aod a cabinet officer will be at Its head. The war department will be relieved of charge of all the matters now coming before It as a result of Its control over differ ent possessions, and - ' v va iticr branches of other departments will bo embraced In the new creation." Here s a good Job for the right man. But the "department of commerce" Is not an appropriate title. The new offl- Clal, If congress sees fit to adont the suggestion, should be s tried "secre tary for colonial affairs" or "secretary of the colonies." We suggest yet another step Id the march toward Imperialism.

Journal of Knights of Labor. when you want to order something by mail which you see advertised. Besides the postal fractional currency would re lieve you of the red tape and expease of postal notes and money orders. To the last sentence I ask, who, the government or the merchant? How would it benefit the people to put frac tional currency into circulation? Why, they could send to the city for various articles which are advertised in the pa pers, and the parcels delivery would bring it to them cheaper than the local merchant could sell it to f hem. thus do ing away with his profit. But, what would become of him? We will cousid- er that later, for the present we can see tnat tno city merchants receipts would visibly increase. io doubt that it would benefit the city merchants for the imme diate present, but bring ruin later as will be seen. I, noticed also in the Kan sas City Journal that the retail mer chants of that city were discussing the question of "how shall we induce the country people to come to the city to trade." The wholesale merchants ob jected to weekly and bi-weekly railroad cur, rates on tne ground that it would in jure their country jobbing business They were wise enough not to wis to advance and promote causes which would kill the goose that lays the golden egg for them. The Kansas Cityans have nuut a magnificent convention hall and hope by its attractions, which they pro pose to make as numerous as possible, to swell the volume of their retail trade to immense proportions: and Omaha has evolved the idea of doing likewise. j. uese are some oi tne means em ployed to increa-e the business of our cities. today, and as history always re lates this is the usual trend of commer cial progress when our financial condi tions are crippled by corrupt legislation ana corrupt p ijiic officials. When tho city merchant find their receipts insufficient according to the amount of capital invested and expens es incurred, instead of looking for the initial causes therefore he sets about it to swallow the country merchant by taking away his trade. If he cave the matter his careful inspection he would see that tho lack of sufficient money was at tha bottom of the trouble. Our financial policy must be remodeled by proper legislation, or how long before we shall bow down to London on tho banks of the Thames, as tho world once did to Korae on the banks of the Tiber. Before the downfall of Rome, the Canipagna, one of the richest agricul tural districts of the world, became de populated and was infested by bandits and murderers who made frequent raids upon the city and often murdered trav elers or held them for ransom. Why was this garden spot abandoned? Be cause the poor in the city committed theft upon the adjacent farming commu nities because of their necessities, and the farmers could not make a living un der such circumstances. This is the highway we are now trav eling. Let us reason. Day by day the prices of all farm products are falling, notwithstanding the acknowledged enor mous shortage of all food products of the world and prevailing famine in In dia which the press is vain'y trying to hide, as well as other imminent famines Yet we note also that tho prices of - all manufactured articles which the producer must buy rise stead ily 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 150 per cent, also the advance of all transportation rates, some of which nave a very peculiar twist I noticed that a short time ago, in the month of September this year, that grain transportation rates for export from western points to steamships in N. Y was 3 cents per hundred, while car- load lota from New York were 17 cents per hundred. I notice that it takes more grain to buy a barrel of sugar, or a keg of nails, or ary other staple article which a farm ers must use. And why? Because of the trusts. And what causes trusts? Business firms net doing business enough. Why? Because people don't buy. And why don't they buy more freely? Because produce and labor do not produce enough money. Why not? Because money is scarce. The dollar is nign, wane produce ana labor are cheap. The last few weeks has seen the Netf York bankers on the brink of financial ruin, has witnessed them appealing to the government and western banks to save them. There is a shortage of mon ey, influencing the moving of our grain and iive stock, and therefore prices are uuwu. Stop! cities to work, and the city merchant. insieao. or swallowing the country mer chant, would come in for his share of the prosperity wich would result there from. All classes would be materially benefitted. Our charitable institutions would cease to be overrun and our workhouses would be empty, our insane hospitals and penitentiaries would be large enough to hold all our patien s and criminals, with room to spars L. t us begin our charities and civilization 1 1 home as well as abroad. Open our storehouse of hidden treas ures in the mountains and every factory in the land will be humming to the tune of joyful, happy hearts. Towns and vil lages would spring up in the mountains, and our farmers would till the soil with light hearts because they would be able iu Bet more man z per cent on tneir in vestments. Railroads would be built throughout the west to carry the im mense traffic which would result, and both interna and foreign commerce would rally with a vigor which would make us the richest, strongest nation on earth. I As proof of what I say. look to Mexico. ' which has but recently established bi mettalism. Already, alert commercial, business men are tuming their eyes to the many opportunities which are pre-1 senteH in that country, and many are i transferring their interests to the shelter of its more prosperous government; where stocks are not watered and busi ness is upon a sound basis as compared witn our own present environments. Let us return to tho self-evident truth as set forth in the declaration of inde- Eendence, and our convention halls will ave plenty of use by the developed and educated musicians, the numberless ar tists and advancod scientists who will be developed by this prosperity of our Great America.
