Major Kiiiian Begins to See
Open Letter Criticisioff Ilia Party Pub
lished in the Sunday Bee
The" following litter from Major J, NT.
Killian late of the First regiment Ne
braska Volunteers is evidence that some
of the more sensible and thinking repub
licans are beginning, to realize that the
end of the g. o. p. is not far distant if it
persists in its policies and leaders of the
present. In order to successfully fool
the people again the major believes new
leaders are necessary and the major is
right. Here is his letter:
Columbus, Neb., April 21, 1900 To
my friends of the Third Congressional
District:. My name has been mentioned
in connection with the republican nom
ination for congress from this district.
Some of you have been working to se
cure me this hmor. While I feel grate
ful for these kindly notices and services,
I have decided not to enter the race, and
it may not be out of place to assign my
reasons in a public letter.
Permit me to say that I am a republi
can, believe in the republican party and
have stood by its principles ever since I
became a voter. But these facts do not
blind me to any of its defects, nor do
they compel me to accept as republican
doctrine whatever a few self-constituted
leaders dictate.
That the republican party in the past
has rrievously blundered, to call it
noth'ng worse, is admitted by its
best J
friends. It has permitted itself to be
led by a handful of railroad cappers and
corporation tools until its magnificent
minorities have melted away until today
there is but a single elective state office
filled by a republican. That the chastise
ment of the republican party in this
state is just goes without saying.
I have confidently hoped that these
self-constituted leaders would learn wis
dom by repeated disaster and that refor
mation as to party methods and leader
ship would come from within the party.
In this belief and upon his solemn as
surance that he would sever his connec
tion with the Union Pacific railroad im
mediately upon his entering into the
United States senate, I loyally supported
John M. Thurston. How well he ob
served those assurances it is not neces
sary to mention. To emphasize his cor
poration affiliations and his utter disre
gard of public sentiment, but a few
weeks ago, while drawing his salary as
senator, he appeared in the supreme
court of this state as the paid attorney
of the Standard Oil company, the most
gigantic trust that ever cursed the pub
lic and debauched its public servants.
With a record of broken pledges, most
solemnly made to the voters pf the state,
his supercilious disregard of public opin
ion, be now thrusts himself forward as
the dictator of the party in this , state.
Already his emissaries and every recip
ient of his patronage, either in posses
sion or in prospective, are at work to
control the nomination and fasten his
leadership on the party.
Such leadership would mean nothing
less than that the old gang that in the
past disgraced the party in the state
and overwhelmed it with disaster is
again in the saddle. . Under such leader
ship party success is out of the question,
nor is it best that it should succeed, for
it deserves defeat-
Whether the element I have men
tioned will be successful in their efforts
to bestride the party at present no man
can tell. If they do, it will be only after
I have exerted my best energies to pre
vent it But if they are successful, I do
not desire to be hampered with a nomi
nation for congress or any other office.
These are my reasons for not standing
as a candidate, and I trust that they
will meet with your sanction and ap
proval and that you will join me in my
efforts to rid the party of the political
Jonah to whose presence all the leaks in
the old ship in this state may be attrib
uted. Very respectfully,
J. N. Kiluak.

Colorado Populists
The people's party convention for Colo
rado was held at Florence Wednesday.
Delegates were elected to - Sioux Falls.
The resolutions adopted declare that W.
J. Bryan is the unanimous choice of the
people's party of Colorado for the presi
dency; that in order to secure his elec
tion it is of the highest importance that
the candidate for vice president shall be
acceptable to the democratic and people's
party and "that to secure such a result
we advise the people's party at Sioux
Falls do not nominate a candidate for
vice president, "but in lieu thereof ap
point a representative committee, with
authority to confer with like committees
from democratic and silver .republicans
at Kansas City, and agree if possible, on
a vice presidential candidate in honest
sympathy with W. J. Bryan and the re
forms he so bravely and unselfishly es
pouses, and we pledge that such ticket
when nominated will receive the enthus
iastic and unqualified support of the
people's party of Colorado.

The American Steel and Wire Com
pany is one of tne so-called industri
als" or trusts which control the man
ufacture of iron and steel. It has $50,
000,000 of common and $40,000,000 of
preferred stock. At its last annual
meeting in March its directors assured
the stockholders and the investing pub
ic that its net profits for the year 1S99
had been $12,162,529, out of which it
had paid $2,100,000 in dividends, leav-
ng a surplus of $10,052,529. Out of
this surplus it set aside and paid on
April 2 quarterly dividends at the rate
of 7 per cent, annually to both its pre
ferred and common stock holders.
Within two weeks after the payment
of these dividends which are guaran
teed to continue for the year the an
nouncement is made without any pre
vious warning that twelve of the mills
are shut down because of "overproduc
tion and slack business." The stock
declines $ a share, other stocks fall
with it, the Inside speculators reap a
handsome profit, the confiding investor

- , ; A SUGGESTION
The attention of the readers of the In
dependent is called to the premium offer
watches for everybody'' . to be found on
page a. w e are anxious to continue tne
increase in the circulation of the Inde
pendent, Thanks to the co-operation of
many loyal riends it has been growing
steadily. We , believe that as it has
grown it has been made better in many
ways. As it continues to grow it will
continue to improve. It is therefore to
the interest of every reader to speak a
good word for the Independent to his
neighbors to secure their subscriptions
if possible. The premium watch offered
is a good one fully guaranteed for one
year a watch that retails at six dollars
everywhere. . The Independent (in con
nection with another publisher) placed
an order for 1000 watches of the same
pattern and design. That's why we can
give so good a watch for so little money
or so little effort on your part The
watch is given as a premium for twelve
NEW campaign subscriptions at 35 cents
each. It is seven months until election
and the rate of 35 cents for that period
is low enough that anyone should be
able to secure the twelve subscriptions
in a few hours. Try it and you'll be
surprised how easy it is. Get a pre
mium for yourself or your boy.
guarantee that you'll not regret it If
you want sample copies write and we
will send them.
A Tale of Two Nations
Mr. Mulhalh in the Contemporary for
March, reviews the progress of British
trade since 1S59. Paragraph 10 of ht
summary is as follows: '
"10., The balance of trade against
Great Britain is 150,000,103 (5750,000,
000) yearly, which is covered by the earn
ings of our merchant navy and foreign
investments."
In other words. Great Britain buys an
nually 750,000,000 worth more products
than she sells, and settles the balance
against her by the earnings of her mer
chant navy and the foreign investments
of her people. - '
Most of this, large balance of trade
against Great Britain is for food pro
ducts and caw. materials. Does it re
quire a diagram to prove that the peo
ple of Great Britain are vitally inter
ested in low-prices food products?
"Coin" Harvey, in his admirable book.
Money, Trusts and Imperialism, gives a
table (page 81) showing excess of imports
and exports for the United States from
June 30, 1873, to June 30, 1S99, a period
of 26 years. Only four years in that
period show an excess of imports in mer
chandise over, exports, and the net ex
cess of exports of merchandise over im
ports for the 26 years is 83,721,142,159.
To this may be added $109,291,125 ex
cess exports of gold and silver, making
the total balance of trade in favor of the
United States 54,130.433,234, or over
$120,000,000 per year.
Paraphrasing the words of Mr. Mul
hall, the situation may be stated thus:
The balance of trade in favor of the
United States is over S120,000,000 yearly,
which is covered by the earnings of for
eign merchant navies and interest on for
eign investments in the United States.
In other words the United States sells
annually ; 8120.000,000 worth more pro
ducts than it buys, and receives for tho
balance due cancelled coupons and re
ceipted freight bills.
Is any diagram needed to show which
country receives the greater benefit?

When a pop editor makes an ass of
himself and devotes his space to abuse
of the best officers the state of Nebraska
ever had, the act is applauded by the re

Another thing on which the populists
and socialists lock horns is the origin of
value. Socialists maintain that value is
a sort of crystalized labor; that the time
and labor expended in producing any ar
ticle gives that article value. Populists
assert that it is the struggle constantly
going on among persons for the possess
ion of any article that gives it value;
that the time and labor expended in its
production may give it those qualities
which are collectively known as utility;
but without demand for the article, it
could have no value. A skilled mechanic
might devote a year to producing an
elaborate dog churn; and ne mignt ex
perience considerable difficulty in dis
posing of it for enough to pay for the
materials used his time and labor
would not give it value. On the- other
hand, a tourist aimlessly wandering on
the mountain side might find a nugget
of gold, upon which he expended neither
time nor energy to any appreciable de
gree, and it would be just as valuable as
though he had spent months in hard la
bor dicging for it The very fact that
each 232-2 grains of pure gold could be
coined into a debt-paying thing valued
at $10, in terms of money, would be suf
fient to make his nugget valuable at the
rate of 51 for every 23-22 grains of pure
gold it contained, and absolutely without
reference to the time and energy he had
expended in acquiring it;
The indications are that five or six
presidential tickets will be in the field
this year. Yet the real battle will be
waged between the armies led by Mc
Kinley and Bryan and on the issues of
money, trusts and imperialism. Those
who favor overriding the constitution,
making the rich richer and the poor
poorer, adopting a colonial policy, and
tearing away the foundations of n free
government will vote for McKinley.
Those who believe that the declaration
of independence and the " constitution
are documents indispensible to the per
petuation of our republic, that no man
is good enough to govern another with
out the other's consent and in financial,
commercial and industrial freedom, will
vote for Bryan. And a few, who have
really excellent ideas on important ques
tions, will refuse to see the paramount
issues, and will foolishly waste their
votes championing questions which have
not attained the dignity of real issues.
