trusts and If there were, they could
not be suppressed as they are an evo

pr&umtive evidence of the existence
of a trust and institute a suit by in
junction to prevent the w orking of the
trutt until it appeared in court and
proved that it was not. a trust.
Wouldn't that smash them up to some
extent? Suppose a law was passed giv
ing any citizen the right to bring such
a suit and make it the 3uty of the at
torney general to prosecute it? Where
would the trusts te then? The cry
of "can't" is baby-talk.

Now the republicans have just dis
covered that all Bryan is after is the
senatorehlp from Nebraska. Then
why does he not stay at home and
work the state?
Senator Beveridg thinks we ought
to gobble all the territory in sight In
order to sustain our standing among
the nations. If we have to fight a lit
tle, that should make no difference.
Senator Stewart calls Bryan an "agi
tator." That is true. He agitates evils
and wrongs as we would punch a
akunk In our henccop.
The McKinleyite are greatly sur
not been confined to the Pennsylvania
coal fields. The refusal to recognize
labor unions has been known in many
parts of the country.
In short the wage-workers from the
Atlantic to the Pacific had experience
enough in the exactions of associated
capital to feel that, the awful condi
tions of the Pennsylvania coal fields
might In time be duplicated in all es
sential particulars, in their own in
dustry, if the miners were defeated in
their struggle for better wages and
improved conditions of living.
Hanna realized this. He shivered
with apprehension at the promptness
with which the toiling masses of the
people noted the object lesson fur
nished by the miners' strike and
charged the republican party with be
ing the friend of trusts and comDlne
tlons. Had the strike no political bearing
Hanna would have ignored it. He
hates union labor. The trade unions

..If a settlement is reached which
will permit the miners to go back to
work- under somewhat better condi
tions, they may thank the fusion press
for having. ventilated their grievances
prised to find that the Cubans voted
almost unanimously for an indepen
dent government of their own. The
Filipinos would vote in the same way.
Lincoln liberated four millions of
bought African slaves. Bryan will
liberate nine millions of bought Fili
pino slaves. Such liberators will be
remembered in history.
It appears Roosevelt was insulted
and stoned by one of his own bull
whackers, whom he thinks more hon
orable than small farmers. Bryan had
something of the same nature at high
toned Yale four years ago. The party
Is in no way responsible for such per
sonal insults. The millionaire stu
dents of Yale had been taught to hate
anybody who stood up for the com
mon people. It Is so now in those
eastern colleges. They have more
money, but not half the brains of the
Nebraska schools.
Smyth's attack on the trusts and
Bryan's support will give us ten votes
through the state where it will lose
us one in Nebraska City. There are
some Bryan men who fear the enforce
ment of law will Injure Bryan's
chances of election. We do not want
a man elected whom justice and right
can injure. It would not answer for
McKinley or his attorney general to
raise a finger against the trusts for
there is where their election money
comes from. Bryan is not running on
trust money.
More straw judges are called for by
the lawyers. One of the grandest
things Governor Poynter has done was
the knocking out of those straw judges
and if he would knock out a dozen
more unconstitutional office-holders he
will do still better. Let us pass a law
next winter that no case shall go to
the sunpreme court uuless it involves
an amount of at least a thousand dol
lars. Small cases can just as well stop
with the district court. Half the su
preme cases are only food for lawyers.
You can't get into the United States
court on a tei-cent case. We have dis
trict judges scattered all over the
state. They have the same pay as
the supreme judges and as a rule they
have just as good legal ability and
love justice just as well. Stop all small
cases then with the district court.
Why is it that no community wants
John Thurston to come and talk to
them? He promised to give his en
tire time to stump work this fall, but
no one hears of him. Neither Ne
braska nor any other state wants to
have him come near them. People
know that while he is paid to act as
senator for Nebraska he is also paid
by the trusts to fight Nebraska. If
the republicans carry the state this
fall we will have two more just such
senators Thompson and Rosewrater.
The Nebraska City people seem to
be Jn love with the starch trust, but
people outside look at the thing dif
ferently. We do not iike to pay Now
York prices, with freight to Nebraska
added, for either starch or sugar, and
that is what these corporations have
gone Into the trust for. Think of it.
We have to pay the freight on our
corn to New York; there they make it
into starch and we have to pay the
freight back again on the starch.
Smash the trust and we will get Nebraska-made
starch cheaper than New
York-made starch and it can be af
forded. The republicans arc having a fam
ily quarrel over Thompson and Rose
water for senators. Thompson has
the legislative ticket of Lancaster
county pledged solid for himself and
any other one he may choose as run
ning mate for senat.u'. There are a
host of prominent republicans who are
opposed to Thompsoa and declare they
will not vote the Thompson ticket.
When Judge Strcde or Whf.-edon are
invited out to speak, as they hive
been, the Thompson county commit
tee calls off their appointments and
that makes a big row. Neither will
the committee allow any other anti
Thompson men to hold a meeting if
they can help it. Why any republican
should oppose Thompson we cannot
see, for there is not another man in
all Nebraska so near like Mark Hanna
as he is. And Hanna made McKinley
president and is really more the pres
ident than any other living man.
Rosewater has Douglas county by the
hair the same way. Those who want
Thompson and Rosewater for United
States senators need to vote the re
publican ticket straight.
News of the Week
During the week, Bryan has sped
through North and South Dakota, Wis
consin and Minnesota like a flaming
evangel of liberty and hope. It must
be remembered that all the news of
this wonderful journey on a special
train, from which he has delivered
from nine to eighteen speeches a day,
has come, with the exception of two
or three short private telegrams, from
"the enemy." We must rely upon the
Associated press reporters for all the
news that we get. They say that the
crowds that have greeted Bryan are
from ten to fifty times as large as
those that assembled to hear Roose
velt during his tour through the Da
kotas. One of the surprises has been
that Hill, of the Northern Pacific, has
extended every courtesy to Bryan,
even going so far as to build a con
necting track so that Bryan's special
train could be run over his road. This
act has occasioned much remark in
Wall street and caused the republicans
uneasiness, not only in the Dakotas,
but in New York as well. The private
reports that have reached this city
give the strongest assurance that Bry
an will carry South Dakota and Min
nesota. Consternation seems also to have
seized upon the imperialists In Eng
land. , Reports are to the effect that
the liberals are out making a most
wonderful campaign. Having re
gained their courage and gone back to
the old Gladstonian principles, the en-
r.onras'ement. thnt: thpv have rocolvo
j has startled the Joe Chamberlain jingo
leaders' and "they "are pleading most
plteously to encourage their follow
ers. Chamberlains started a regular
Roosevelt campaign md was going to
run on' the Khaki uniform as the one
Issue.' ' He soon found that that would
not w ork and-had ta issue new mani
festos. Professor Bryce, the historian
and scholar, after first declaring he
would hate no more to do with politics
because of the cowardice of Lord Rose
berry? and other liberal leaders, has
reconsidered the matter and is making
a campaign that has nearly frightened
the wits out of Joe Chamberlain. He
has called to mind some of Gladstone's
great speeches and shows how they
apply to the. present emergencies.
Through him the party has been
called back to the principles that drove
Disraeli from power and saved Eng
land to progress and liberty. The
wage-workers in England, it is found,
are almost solid against the tory pol
icy of Joe Chamberlain in South Af
rica. The battle in England is prac
tically the same as in the United
States.- The "wage-workers, the schol
ars and thinkers of England are tak
ing the same position that the follow
ers of Bryan in this country are tak
ing. Thejr are against shoulder straps,
big standing armies big navies, wars
of conquest and. the whole program
marked out in the United States by
Mark Hanna, Roosevelt and McKinley.
They find against them there the same
classes, that are against us here. The
Rothschilds, the military martinets,
the great accumulations of capital.
In the Philippines the war goes on
with more fighting and more casual
ties than at any time since the fight
ing first began. Long lists of killed
and wounded will be found elsewhere
in The Independent. McKinley has
stripped this country of troops and is
hurrying every available soldier here
and in China to the Philippines as fast
as steam can carry them. He has
suddenly found out that our occupa
tion of the , Philippines, instead of
proving a source of strength in set
tling the difficulties in China, is the
source of our greatest weakness, just
as the populists said it would be.
Russia and America have ordered
their troops withdrawn from Pekin
and the other powers have been forced
to follow suit. It seems now that ne
gotiations for peace will soon be en
tered upon. What the outcome will be
no one can tell. The Independent be
lieves that European powers are de
termined upon gobling up a lot of ter
ritory. If they attempt that, there will
be no end of trouble.
Fighting still goes on in South Afri
ca. Reports of several engagements
have been published during the week.
The English, following the example of
Otis, still continue to declare that "the
war is over." -
LABOR STRIKE PROBLEMS
Workingmen and Capitalists May Not Agree
Upon Wages and, Privileges, But
THEY AGREE UPON ONE THING
When They Seek What; They Need, They
Prefer Alwaya to peal With Per
sons and Institutions
They. Know.
A labor' strike in the anthracite
mines indirectly affects millions.while
directly affecting thousands. Labor
and capital disagreeing induce the so
cial upheaval which modern men de
nominate a strike. It is unfortunate
that man's genius for orderly govern
ment and fair dealings has not yet de
vised a satisfactory method of meet
ing and determining differences be
tween wa.ge earners and wage payers
since they necessarily hold so much in
common.
IT. IS A BAD BUSINESS.
As a business proposition a strike
is bad; bad for the wage payers and
wage earners; bad for the consumer
and the producer and bad for society.
But there are worse things for a com
munity thaii a bad strike, and one of
these is want of loyalty to its legiti
mate enterprises and indifference to
the common welfare. WTien men of
sense, "with common interests, with

WANT OF, FORESIGHT.
Are you aware that Nebraska every
year sends away to eastern money cen
tres more than $1,500,000 In cash for
life insurance premiums? Are you

enormous sum remains in eastern cof
fers and never again returns to the
channels of commerce here? Do you

resources of bur commonwealth

WORSE THAN A STRIKE.
The cost of conducting a great
strike may be larger in amount, but
the money consumed does not go ab

In accordance with the action of the
people's party, taken at Chicago in
reference to the resignation of Charles
A. Towne. the committee appointed to
notify Adlia E. Stevenson of his nom
ination to fill the vacancy has per
formed the work assigned to it. The
following Ib the correspondence in
relation thereto.
Colfax, la., Sept. 5, 1900. To the
Hon. A. E. Stevenson, Bloomington,
111. Dear Sir: In behalf of the na
tional committee of the people's party,
the undersigned take 'pleasure, in noti
fying you that you were on the 27th
ult., selected as the candidate of said
party for the office of vice president of
the United States to fill tne vacancy
occasioned by the declination of the
Hon. Charles A. Towne, who was
nominated at Sioux Falls. .
The members of the people's party.
In all sections, realize that we have
reached a crisis in which the very life
of free institutions is involved a
crisis in which mere party considera
tions arc of secondary importance and
should be laid aside until the peril is
averted.
Acting upon this overshadowing
conviction, our national convention,
which met at Sioux Falls, in proof of
the unselfish character of the party
which it represented, and in order to
open the way for harmony among all
classes of patriotic people, went out
side of its own organization for. both
of its nominees. This action met with
hearty approval among our constitu
ency everywhere.
And now a vacancy having occurred
in our ticket, we have, in the same un
selfish spirit, selected you to fill that
vacancy and ask that you accept the
same. W'e know that you. are not a
populist, but we are familiar with
your career and the patriotic character
of your public services, and we confide
implicitly in your unflinching devo
tion to the principles, of free govern
ment as taught by the fathers of the
republic. Conscious that nothing but
good to the public can result rom
your elevation to this high office, with
sincere regard, we have the honor to
be, very truly yours,
J. B. WEAVER.

Committee of Notification.
Following is Mr. . Stevenson's re

the Hon. J. B. Weaver, the Hon. J. A.
Edgerton and the Hon. J. H. Edmisten,
Committee of Notification. Gentle
men: By your communication of Sep

my. selection as the candidate of the
people's party for the office of vice
president of the United States, to .fill
the vacancy upon your ticket occa-
AD LA I E.
sioned by the resignation of the Hon.
Charles A. Towne.
I cannot too earnestly express my
appreciation of this manifestation of
the confidence reposed in me by your
committee and the great constituency
you represent. Nor can I withhold the
expression of my admiration for the
generous action of Mr. Towne in his
endeavor to secure the harmoniousco
operation of all the supporters of Mr.
Bryan in the pending presidential con
test. The action of the people's party in
selecting candidates outside of its own
organization is almost without pre
cedent in our political history. The
explanation is found in your own can
did declaration: "The members of
the people's party in sections real
ize that we have reached a crisis in
which the very life of free institutions
is involved a crisis In which mere
party considerations are of secondary
importance and should be laid aside
until the peril is averted
Upon the important questions of fi
nance, of domestic administration and
of reform in our methods of taxation
the platform of the people's party
gives no uncertain sound. - It is no
less emphatic in its demand for a re
turn to the policy of honest and econ
omical expenditures of the public
money. The further demand for wise
and efficient legislation looking to
the suppression of trusts cannot fail
to challenge the attention of all
thoughful men.
In common, however, with the sil
ver republican and the democratic par
ties, you recognize the important fact
that all these are but questions of the
hour. In the presence of the over
shadowing issue of imperialism, oth
ers are but as the dust in the balance.
It is ' not strange, then, that there
should now be concert of action be
tween those who sincerely believe
"that a crisis has t-een reached in
which mere party considerations are
of secondary importance."
Involved in the settlement of this
great question are consequences of
deep import to the. American people.
The supreme gravity of the issue can-

not be measured by words. As was
truly said by an eminent republican
senator: "The question is greater than
parties, greater than administrations,
greater than prosperity and happiness
of a single generation."
It is well even now to recall some of
the recent events of our history. Be
fore "breaking the peace of the world"
congress, referring to Cuba, supple
mented its declaration of war against
Spain with the words: "The United
States hereby disclaim any disposition
to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or
control over said island, except for
the pacification thereof, and asserts
its determination when that is accom
plished to leave the government and
control of the island to its people."
It was this solemn declaration by
STEVENSON.
the 1 American congress that justified
the war at the bar of our own con
science and of that of the world. The
pretense now that this disclaimer up
on our part' applied only to Cuba and
not to other Spanish dependencies is
to "palter with words in a double
sense."
Existing conditions abroad now
challenge our serious thought, wheth
er we will or no. Spain has been con
quered, and the "pacification of Cuba"
the declared purpose of the war se
cured. And yet we find ourselves still
engaged in war a war, too, against
our former allies in our conflict with
Spain. It is a war against a people
8,000 miles distant, and of whom, un
til recent years, we had scarcely
heard. It is an expensive war, hav
ing already, cost near $200,000,000 in
money and thousands of valuable
lives. The questions to be answered
by each American voter now and in
November: Why this war? What is to
be our justification at the bar of his
tory? All mere words and glorifica
tion of the flag aside, the sad fact re
mains that it is purely a war of con
quest; a war of subjugation against
a people who, as has been eloquently
said, "In their struggle for indepen
dence have interposed the declaration
of Jefferson as a shield against the at
tacks of his own countrymen."
Sixty thousand soldiers are now in
the Philippine islands. How much
greater will be the sacrifice of treasure
and human life before the conquest is
concluded no : man can know. And
when completed what next? How are
these islands to be held and governed?
Does any sane man doubt that it can
only be by force; by the power of the
army and of the navy? And this not
for a day or for a year, but for all
time. All this implies the exercise of
power unknown to the constitution It
is in very truth government outside
of the constitution. It means the adop
tion by the American public of the
colonial " methods of European mon
archies. It means the right to hold
alien peoples as subjects. It enthrones
force as the controlling agency in
government. In a word, it foresha

dows the empire.
More than this, following close In
the wage of imperialism, as the night
the day, comes the immense standing
army. The dread arm of militarism .
is to be laid bare in the new world as
It is in the old. The strong arm of
power is to be substituted for the
peaceful agencies which for more than
a century have brought contentment
and happiness to all our people. "Ex
isting conditions in continental Eu
rope entailing taxation and misery
to the verge of human endurance il
lustrate by sad object lesson the Ine
vitable result of large standing armies
in time of peace.
Conditions now existing Jn the Phil
ippine islands, for which we are in a
measure responsible, impose new du
ties upon us. These ( people are en
titled to our protection against the
cupidity and aggressive spirit of other
nations. And this, not to the end of
subjugation upon our part, but to that
of the full enjoyment by them of lib
erty and the ultimate establishment of
stable government fashioned by their
own hands.
Imperialism the republic or the em

Meanwhile, its discussion will con

ings with an earnestness rarely
equalled In our history. It was Burke
who said: "I love clamor when there
is an abuse. The alarm bell disturbs
the inhabitants, but It saves" them
from being burned in their beds."
Again thanking the committee and
those they represent, t accept the nom- .
