CLOTHING
In searching for your clothing there are five import
ant points to pick out First, material; to obtuin the
best to be had. Second, make up; to retain that indi
viduality you find in Nebraska Clothing we pay a little
more for making it and obtain a little better work than
most stores do. Third, the style; we have a representa
tive that lives in the eastern market, and we do not de
pend upon pictures or descriptions. lie is there on the
ground and knows what's the style; consequently you'll
find no antique clothing in this store. Fourth, the fit;
there's no question as to our ability to fit you; if the
' first and second and the third points are correct, the
fourth must be. The fifth, the price; that's the point
that pleases us as well as you. Drop us a postal card if
you can't come yourself, and ask for one of our cata
logues; they tell the tale truthful and blunt.
Please Mention The Nebraska Independent when answering
country The ami imperial league de
clarea lhat the whole story U a lie, that
no one connected with the league has
written any letters to any Filipino, and
that the members of the league are
much more concerned about what will
happen to the people of the United
States under imperialism than the effect
it will have upon the Filipinoa.
The g. o. p. statistician in figuring up
the 10 per cent gain in Kansas that they
said the republicans made, put down a
majority for his party in Sedgwick coun
ty of 50, whereas the fusion average ma
jority was 252. All the mullet heads
still believe that the republicans made
great gains in Kansas.
Paper is made cheaper today than it
ver was in the history of the world and
yet the price has nearly doubled in a
year. A year ago a car load of paper
cost 1430. Now it costs $720, and the
price of the Independent remains the
same, which is hard on 4is, and tha
farmer gels less for his products which
makes it hard for hira to pay for the pa
per. Will some populist tell us what to
do about it?
During the, week the supreme court
has handed down several important de
cisions. All the Bartley bondsmen
cases have been reversed and sent back
to the lower courts for new trials and
the whole business has to be begun over
again. The Weaver insurance law has
also been knocked out, and the office
established under Judge Bryant has
been abolished. All the business now
goe back into the hands of Auditor
Cornell.
The Fad news came Tuesday after
noon that General Lawton had been
killed. He was one of the bravest and
ablest ' officors in the Philippines and
has been almost constantly on the firing
lino for nearly two years. The news has
produced a sadness everywhere. (Jen
Lawton fought all through the civil war,
through many 'Indian campaign and
has at last met death in the Philippines,
The place where this baftle was fought
is within1 15 miles of Mani'a. It is in plain
sight of the pumping station that the
First Nebraska captured and held for wj
long. It was one of the outposts of the
regiment for some time and Company I
had two or three sharp fights there.
It appears from th's account, which
under the circumstances could not be
suppressed, that the rebellion is nowhere
near an end. The Filipinos are still
lighting right in sight of Manila. What
the real condition in the Philippines is
no one,-with perhaps tke exception of
Secrelary Root, knows. Otis holds one
end of the cable and Root the other.

We are glad to know that en-senator

going to be the most important since

For MEN and

There has been a point beyond which
nation is not safe in trying to rule the
world, It kas been tried, but the safest
thing for John and Samuel to do is tj
establish independent republics rather
tnan dependencies.
V
Another money panic has already set
in. War and the gold standard will
make things rattle worse than they did
in 1893. Seward paid one war at a time
was enough, but we have two now, one
of bull its and one of dollars. Let the
money sharks run thiwgs this winter and
McKinley s prosperity will go glimmer
ing. If the money could be let alone,
we could get along, but wicked men and
and devils are never satisfied. McKin
ley will probably unload twenty-five mil
lions of gold in New York today, to help
tne money men. At the same time be
would not unload twenty five ceuts to
help the farmers. ,
It is now p'am that there is not gold
enough in the world to do the business
of the world and run two wars, five
thousand miles from home. A small war
at a distance coste more than a large one
near by. Ihese things, in connection
with the fact that our president and our
congress are about to cut down ourleiral
tender in this country, will make good
republican prosperity by the solid foot.
V
The broom factory of Lincoln has gone
into the trust and will now probably be
closed up as our paper mill is. Hivery
thing must be made in the east and we
must ship our broomcorn thers and pay
freight on our brooms back. Why not
let the prisoners of our penitentiary
raise two or three hundred acres of
broom corn and then make it up and sell
the brooms. Then there is organized
labor as well as the trusts that kick and
howl against convict labor. For one we
can stand it to see criminals earn their
own living rather than to be obliged to
earn ours and theirs too. The art of
making brooms is very easily learned,
in one day a man can learn to make as
good a broom as anybody. He may not
make as many in a day nut can make
them just as good. Brooms hae al
ready thribled in price und f-till going
up, but it will be hard tomuintain a nio
no oly on brooms, they are so easily
made. The machinery for making them
does not co.-t five dollars.
Trusts and monopolies have been out
lawed for two or three hundred years.
Lord Coke decided they were unlawful
for ihe following rea.-ons: 1st They
tend to raise the pr'ce of the commodity
for he who has the sole selling of it can
can male the price us he pleases; ''d
After a monopoly is thoroughly estab
lihed the .commodity is not as good as
it was before, for the monopnlii.t regards
only his own interest and nut that of the
commonwealth; 3rd It tends to impov
eriih the laborer who before supported
himself and fami'y. Yet there are tho-e
who claim to be right smart, who artrue
that trusts are calculated to matte things
cheaper. There are also those who nrnue
that a high protective tariff makes things
protected cheaper. They ci'.e as sam
ples, the red net inn of the price of cloth
andiron. The oil trust they quote as
having rsduced the price of oil from
tifly to ten cents a gallon. Every man
of ,-en-e knows they want tariff and mo
nopolies in order to cut off compel ion -o
they can get a higher price for their
gH)ds. Look at the price of window
glass. It has thribled in prme since
McKinlev came into office. The truts
and tariff have worked hand in hand to
put up prices. There are dozens of glass
factories today standing idle and just as
soon as one is completed the glass trust
buys it up Bnd lets it stand idle. Glass
is made in Indiana and Ohio, where
they have natural gas, cheaper than
anywhere in the wor d bt-tjdo, at the
same time they pay the highest scale of
American wages. They exfiort to Eu
rope millions of dollars worth of poods,
and sell under their noses cheaper than
they can make, while we have to pay
high tariff, trust prices hero. They will
not let us go to Europe and buy Ameri
can glass and bring it hoo.e, without
paying tariff.

up to the reading of the bill under the
five minute rule which permits amend

and five minute speeches can be made

wild and the succeeding sections were
never eaohed. This prevented amend

banking provisions of the bill. A num

FIRST GOLD STANDARD SPEECH
Republican Leaders Declare in Congress

Mow fur Gold Only,
Washington, Dec. 16- Special corres
pondence. When the debate on the
currency bill began it, started in awift
and vigorous. Overstreet of Indiana
led on behalf of the republicans. For
the first time in the history of the re
publican party, or in the history of any
other party, a republican made a single
gold standard speech, declaring in favor
of the gold standard pure and simple.
He stated that under the bill all forms
of paper money should be redeemed
gold, and ty intertbarieabi ity silver
dollars should oe redeemed in gold.
Doliver of Iowa, followed in support
of the bill. He created considerable
amusement on the fusion side by saying
that neither he nor any republican pro
posed to be annoyed or flustrated by the
opposition quoting from his or repuoli
can i-peeches in favor of silver, for th
republicans had changed and he gladlv
admitted it. In answer to a question of
Price of Tenne-see. he said that he was
done with bimetallism by internationa
agieenient, as he had had enough of the
liver question. He claimed that free
coinage would not help us as the mint
capacity is only ?50,MK,()00 per year, yet
the republicans in lS'.io feared a fl od ot
ver. lie fell gratified over the alleged
ri-e of puces, yet the republicans
preached the bessings of low pi ices in

loss by Cholera
It is estimated that the loss in the
United States of hogs by death from
cholera exceeds ?2l),0OO,0O0 annually.
Many experts have been experimenting
to find a t-afr, and sure cure for this'des
tructivo di.-ease. The value of such a
remedy is apparent. Recently there
have been some excellent results in the
the treatment, of the disease obtained by
farmers in this vicinity. The herds al
the state penitentiary, at the stite in
sane a-ylum, Win. KoMer of Saltillo, E.
F. Kashtt and John Higgins of Lincoln,
have been successfully treated for chol
era, and on the average !!0 )er cent of
the herd has been saved. '1 he remedy
used was "Ungles' Hogette," and all
thoe who have u-ed it praise it in the
highest terms. Mr. George W. Lcidigh
of Nebraska City, who was warden of
the penitentiary at the time the herd of
hogs was attacked by cholera, says: "We
f aced our entire hoid of sury head un
der treatment, and the remedy haved
fifty-three head out of the sixty, w hen
we were having n daily loss tf from two
to four head." This is certaily an ex
cellent showing. Others who have used
the remedy report ju-t a-t good results.
It is nut exn-ivK and deserves the most
ireneral trial by the laimersof thisstte.
For the benefit of its readers the hide
pendent will be plea-ed to publish the
details in any case where this remedy is
given a trial. The cure of hog cholera
is a matter of interest to every reMdent
of Nebra-ka. Farmers interested may
write direct to this olllce or to W. H.

For Old Soldiers
Washington, Dec, 17. Special correspondence-
-Congressman Sutherland
offered a pension bill a few days ago, it
being a copy of one that be offered in
the 65th congress. It provides thnt
widows Uuoer the new law shall receive
?12 instead of 8 per month, and that
soldiers who are rated for mora UiMn one
disbilitj shall have the right to have
the same grouped or added together in
the making up of their disabilities and
the granting of pensions on the same.
Under the present practice several disa
bilities count nothing as only the highest
rated disability is considered in making
up the rat. His bill is generally along
the lines recommended by the O. A- R.
committee which called on the presi
dent recently. He also offered a bill for
the erection of a public building at Has
tings, appropriating $125,000 for that
purpose.

Future of Si ver.
The future of silver is of interest both
to the- politician and the producer. It is
the question what is to bo the fate of
silver mining to which Dr. K. S. Meade
addresses hirm-elf in a recent publica
tion of the American Aeademv of Politi-
:al nnd Social Science. That, silver
hould lie so low in price and the tiro-
duct still remain at its old height seems
a paradox. Dr. Meade calls attention
to the fact that there has leen a relative
lech no, sinco lh production of all other
(iiniiiodities has advanced, lie shows.
moreover, that in the United S'a'es at
lea-t the direct production of silver ha
suffered greatly from the fall in the
pr re of the product. The indirect pro
duction of silver subsidiary to the pro
duction of copper and lead. two minerals
winch have enjoyed n-ing prices ac
counts for a large measure of the pres.
ent silver production. Dr. Meade fcrs
for the future neither u flood of silver
n r the scarcity of the metal. Ho is con
vinced that iIih volume of the product is
dependent upon its price, that large
quantities of unminrd silver are hidden
n the bowels of the earth, waiting onlv
for a favorable market, to bo bronchi
nto the world's commerce. J!r a care

ishes these propositions in a manner to
carry conviction to the rea ler,

Senator Allen's fighting qcalities and

Chauncy DePew in addressing the
Red Men at convention hall Thursday
evening made an ultra administration
republican speech and in disregard of
the proprieties eulogized imperialism
not even fighting shy of that term. He
said that the tendency of the century
toward concentration of power had in
fused an imperial life into our country
and put us in the front rank of nations.
That no people in the orient had ever
been able to produce enough for their
own wants, and their growing needs
must be supplied by the stimulating
process of western civilization. He
spoke to nn audience of about six thou
sand persons. ,
All England Weeps.

Royal taffy is cheap. What have the

old republican member, said the bill was
not drastic enough to suit him. If ha
had his way, when the greenbacks are
redeemed in gold he would not a'low
them to be re-issued, but wanted them
cancelled. Of course he did not de-ire
a contraction of the currency
l nis speech was made the day that
stocks shrunk 1100,000,000 and the U'
ton clearing house had to call a special
meeting and issue clearing house certifi
cates to save one of the banks from go
ing int i a receiver's hands. That bank
did not have money enough to do busi
ness, with greenbacks, silver certificates,
treasury notes and silver dollars all in
circulation, And this mullet head con
gressman would have nothing but gold.
