The United States, now tinder a Re

man flesh In the Islands?
"Nothing at alL"
What la the evidence of ownership
of slaves In the islands?
"A receipt or bill of' s-ale with de
scription of the colored man or wo
man." Are those slaves personal property
In the Islands?
-Just as much so as a mule In Ohio.''
In what other portions of the United
States territory does slavery exist?
"In the Sulu or Moron Islands, a
group of the Philippines."
How many Ulands x does the sultan
of Bulu govern?
-Fire."
Xtith whose consent does he govern
tho? Islands?
"With my consent"

As a professing Christian you
thought that was your "plain duty,"
didn't you?
"Yes."
So that you denounce polygamy In
America and pension it in Sulu at the
expense of the taxpayers?
"Yes. But the interests cf the re
publican party required us to have the
good will of the sultan at any price."
hen. why didn't the Republican
party take that money out of its own
pocket, las lead of taking It from the
American people who don't believe ia
polygamy and slavery?
IThy IUaoa la Worried.
Rochester Herald: One of the chief
causes of Mark Hanna's uneasiness,
which he makes no pretence to con
ceal. Is the possibility that New York
will go Democratic In Maine and
Vermont there have been changes of
10 and 20 per cent during the last four
years in favor of tbe Democracy. That
was In states where no concerted ef
fort was made to reduce the conceded
Republican pluralities. In New York
a change of less than 1 p-er cent will
throw the state Into the Democratic
column. With organized effort
throughout the state it is not to be
denied that the chances of Democratic
victory are bright enough to be risible
to the naked eye. Mark Haanai at all
events, has experienced no difficulty in
discerning them.
The trusts ceased to be about the
same time that the war In the Philis
tines ended. Kalamaoo (Mlea.)
News.
Remember
Before you vote this fall do not for
get th ;ecord of the fusion state offi
cers made for honesty and economy in
the management cf the state's busi
ness. ' ' 5" 1
Remember that all the Institutions
under the fusion tovernor have been
run at a great deal less money than
the were under the republican ad
ministration. Remember that b?fo,re a fusiou state
treasurer took charge of the state's
money that warrants-were selling be
low their face value that are now sell
ing for more than their face value and
that they bear 1 per cent per annum
less Interest.
Remember mat the people of the
state of Nebraska were robbed by re
publican official out of $875,000.
Remember that never in the history
of Nebraska were the school lands of
the state handled In the interest of the
school children until the fusionists
took charge of the office of commis
sioner of public lands and buildings.
Remember that during ten years of
republican control of the office of sec
retary of state " only $13,932.69 were
turned over to the state treasurer
while under a fusion administration
for three years and nine months $41,
906.72 were turned over to the state
treasurer.
Remember that the 'candidates on
the republican ticket are members of
the same old political gang who aided
Bartley, who aided Moore, who aided
Hilton, who aided Hill, and other re
publican officials in robbing the tax
payers out of $875,000.
Remember that the republican can
didates were nominated by the sane
ring and by the same men who nomi
nated the defaulting republican offi
cials. Remember that William Steufer, re
publican candidate for state treasurer,
when a member of the state legisla
te reported that Bartley's bond was
good and sufficient and that Steufer is
a close friend of Bartley, Moore, Hil
ton and other defaulting officials.
Remember should a republican deny
that Steufer made such a report on
the Bartley bond, that it can be found
on page 706 of the senate Journal of
1895.
Is there any reason, when we re
member all these things, for the peo
ple to change? If you had a good
man on your ranch or farm and you
knew him to be honest, would you
let him go and hire a man whom you
knew to be in sympathy with men
who formerly robbed you of your cat
tle or grain. You know you would
not. Therefore be true to yourself and
your state and vote for the fusion can
didates. Governor Poynter is a true Chris
tion gentleman. Holds high the sanct
ity of the home. Stands for purity in
prlvato and public life. Able and hon
est. Insists on honesty and strict
economy in public affairs.
The people of this great state will
see to it that the state Institutions are
continued under the present efficient
management. Several of-these are of
such a nature that it is necessary to
have them under direct charge of men
and women of high morality. The
appointment of such men and women
depends on the character of the gov
ernor. The hundreds of thousands of dol
lars saved to the taxpayers of the
state by the reform administration;
the uniform courteous treatment ac
corded all having business to trans
act at the capitol; the efficiency and
dispatch with which every depart
ment transacts public business and af
fairs; all lack of that former wanton
in civility and the return to demo
cratic simplicity said honesty have
served to createv cpnfldence in the
minds of the people In fusion officials,
and they will not again burden them
selves with former conditions.
Every voter should remember that
the coming election will be the most
Important to the people of Nebraska
that was ever held in the state. The
legislature this winter will redistrict
the state Into legislative, congres
sional and judicial districts which Is
a very important matter to every voter
In Nebraska. As It is now many parts
of the state are without representa
tion according to population as com
pared with the eastern part of the
state. Therefore they have not an
equal advantage with Douglas, Lan
caster and other counties. The legis
lature will also elect two United States
senators. It Is very Important for the
people of Nebraska who represents
them In the upper house of congress.
They should be men of honesty and
of principle.
A PRICE UNIT.
Do you understand what is meant
by a price unit? Well, suppose we
take a barrel of mess pork, 100 pounds
of lard, 100 pounds of short rib sides,
100 pcunds of live hog. a bushel each
of wheat, corn, oats, rye and flaxseed.
Now, let us take the average price of
each of these nine articles for a cer
tain month in a period of, say, three
years, and add these prices. That may
be called a "price unit," or in other
words, it represents the cost of a cer
tain amount of each of the nine ar
ticles. Is that plain enough?
Now, it is well known that the mar
ket price of any article fluctuates dur
ing the month; hence, let us take av
erages of the lowest prices and anoth
er of the highest.
There has been considerable talk
about the Increase in prices of farm
products under what republicans are
pleased to call "McKlnley prosperity."
Let us make up a price unit for the
month of May during the three years
of "Cleveland hard times." 1894, 1895
and 1896, and compare it with a price
unit for the month of May during he
three years of "McICinley prosperity,"
1897, 1898 and 1899.

Do you see any great prosperity
there for the producer of hogs and
grain? Wheat alone averages higher
under the latter period, and that is be
cause of "the Leiter corner and two
wars going on.
The low average under McKlnley
prosperity is 11.8 per cent below that
under Cleveland hard times. The high
average is 8.45 per cent of a decline.

BRYAN DENIES IT.
-I have not given to any one, either
verbally or in writing, a promise of a
cabinet position or any other position,
and I shall not during the campaign
ntaka any such promise to any one.
"I have not authorised and shall not
authorise any one, verbally or in writ
ing, to promise any cabinet position or
any other position to any one. If I
am alee ted I shall be absolutely free to
discharge all the duties of the office
according to my- platform, as far aa the
platform goes, and according to my
own judgment in all matters not cov
ered by the platform."
Such is William Jennings Bryan's
anrwer to Ha&aa's charge that he has
made promises to would-b officehold
ers and that the cabinet portfolios
have been parceled out in adva&ea. of
his election.
Why BabMaa Ar AatlUa.
Bingham ton Leader: Tha record of
the Republican party in government
is not satisfactory to the members of
that party, especially to these members
who do their own thinking. Thou
sands of Republicans in all sections of
the country disapprove the Philippine
scheme, and w&ile not all of thea will
refuse to rote the Republican ticket.
their attitude and speech are calculat
ed to encourage and strengthen the
crowing sentiment against imperial
ism. When the thinking and indepen
dent membership of a party Is in a
mental condition that reflects all - the
shades of feeling from Indifference to
disgust, it is not unreasonable to look
for results that must be far from grat
ifying to that party's managers. This ia
the state ef things in the Republican
party today, and over-confidence ia the
hurt feeling it is calculated to produce.
TRYING HEN'S SOULS
Shall the Republic of Jefferson Endure or
Shall the English Systam of Hamil
ton b Substituted for it?
Editor Independent: ''These are the
times that try men's souls." .
This Is the language of one of the
grandest patriots of revolutionary
times. When we go back, and study
that history and compare It with the
history we as a nation are making to
day, how applicable these words. Ev
ery patriot will cry aloud as he be
holds the same old "serpent" filing his
slimy colls around the tree of liberty
planted by the. revolutionary fathers.
King George sympathizers never laid
down their arms except to gather new
recruits "for the purpose of subvent
ing, step by step, the principles of the
constitution" which Hamilton declared
to be "a thing of nothingwhlch must
be changed."- v '
In the discussions as shown by "the
Madison papers" speaking of the leg
islative. Hamilton said: !'We must
have something to represent the house
of lordB, an English system of govern
ment fastened upon us by tories." The
apologists of the . English system or,
for a constitutional monarchy, have
had their representatives seated In
high places from the very first and al
ways for the purpose of throtelling, if
possible, every effort to firmly estab
lish the government on purely demo
cratic principles to overthrow the re
public has been and is their only aim.
I affirm, without fear of successful
contradiction, that the proposition is
much larger at the present time. Why
question the truths of the Declaration
than they were on the day that the

MILLER
author hero wrote, "These are the
times that try men's souls. These
enemies of the republic, a few years
later, made such inroads into our re
publican institutions that Mr. Wind
ham in the house of commons de
clared that one of his own countrymen
had been of such valuable aid to Jay
and Hamilton of America In defeating
the republican principles of Jefferson
that It "entitled him to a statue of
gold."
We can trace thess anti-republicans
through the whole period of our na
tional existence. But the darkest, hours
when the star of liberty was about to
fall the people sickened of the siren
song and hoisted the banners of Jef
ferson high above the. imperialistic
crown and the country was saved. -
The dangers encountered In 1786 to
1S24 and in 1860 even in comparison to
the downfall of the republic in the
year 1900 is, as the crack of a sky
rocket to the boom of a thirteen-lnch
gun. Never before have the enemies
of the republic been so bold in .their
declarations. Even Hamilton was
more cautious. ' He said, "1 own it is
my opinion, though I do not publish it
In Dan or Beersheba, that the present
government is not that which will an
swer the ends of society, by giving .sta
bility and protection to its rights, and
that it will probably be found exped
ient to go into the British form." Oh,
how modest, yet how treacherous.
Speaker Henderson of the house of
representatives, republican, says:
"These doctrines of Hamilton must be
the text words of the hour. I want
elected a man who not only preached
those doctrines, but, like McKlnley,
acted them from his heart." This is
the damnable Imperialistic doctrine
taken up by the so-called republican
party and voiced froia "Dan to Beer
sheba" by men holding high office, be
fore the body of our Sainted Lincoln
had been laid in its final resting place.
Following soon after the London Tele
graph rejoicingly exclaimed that nev
er again in America would be hoisted
"a banner originally hoisted by Jeffer
son," and a presidential candidate in
the same year, in a public speech,
said: "I believe that the fame of Jef
ferson is waning and the fame of Ham
ilton waxing in the estimation of the
American people. I am glad that we
are." Mark A. Hanna said on his re
turning from Europe that the "Eng
lish government is just as good as ours
if not a little better." Tis a fact eas
ily demonstrated that the party of
Hanna with its figurehead McKlnley
are the lineal descendants of the antl
republlcans of Jefferson's day. Those
who cast their ballot at the coming
election in November must choose be
tween the anti-republicanism of Ham
ilton or the republicanism of depres
sion whether the prediction of the
London Telegraph comes true or
whether the banner of Jefferson shall
rise again. I think I : see the light
penetrating through the imperialistic
cloud and can hear the tread of the
people coming to the support of that
matchless orator and statesman, Will
iam Jennings Bryan, who is bearing
aloft the banner of Jefferson where It
will be placed high in the temple of
liberty and no traitors hand will ever
dare to dray it down again.

Never Give Up
A lady in northern Nebraska writes
a letter to the editor of The Indepen
dent and asks: "If Bryan is defeated
will you give up?" We answer, "No."
This writer has been defeated too of
ten and then made defeats lead up to
victory to ever give up fighting for a
righteous cause. He remembers when
he started in single-handed and alone
to fight the Indian ring. He hunted
up lawyer after lawyer, he implored
congressmen and senators, he fought
battles in the courts and when after
spending thousands of dollars, the su
preme court, by a bare majority, de
cided against him, and on the very
lines of imperialism which he Is now
fighting, he did not give up. He ap
pealed to the people of many states
year after year and though often in
sulted and rebuffed, he didn't give up.
He. kept on fighting. At last, after
years of waiUng, the senate and house
of representatives yielded to long con
tinued assaults and gave the Indians
the right of citizenship. That was
the death of the old Indian ring that
had daluged our -western frontiers with
blod for a hundred years. That was
the end of the "Century of Dishonor."
Then he joined with a few farmers
in another fight which at the begin
ning seemed more hopeful than the
first. He undertook the overthrow of
the oligarchy of corruption that the
republicans had established In Ne
braska. He has been but one In many
thousands in this later fight. But he
never gave up. He has fought on un
til oligarchy founded on theft, has
teen hurled from power and a set of
officers elected who - have conducted
the government of this state for year
without the loss of a single cent by
misappropriation or embezzlement, a
thing that seemed almost impossible
in the beginning:
He is not going to give up now. This
effort to capture the government of
the United States from the hands of
the aristocrats ' and accumulators of
wealth, is the greatest light that the
people have ever undertaken sinee the
last time they assaulted it when it was
bulwarked behind human slavery. Wo
shall win, just as the people have won
every battle in the end for human lib
erty that has been fought in the last
four hundred years. Give up? Never.

. Trusts Good Things
There are no trust."-Mark Hanna.
? "A good trust is a good thing."
Theodore Roosevelt.
"The democratic party is responsi
ble for the trusts." Secretary Lyman
J.'Gage.' .
"The republican party alone is com
petent to handle . the trust question.
Eight-tenths of the business of this
country is done by corporations. Any
legislation or action against corpora
tions, would throw eight-tenths of the
skilled labor out of employment."
Senator Chauncey M. Depew,
The republican party has evidently
"handled" the trusts in a most efficient
and satisfactory manner vduring the
past few weeks, as is evidenced by
the corruption fund which Mark Han
na succeeded in raising. As a "han
dler" Mr. Hanna must be awarded the.
gold medal. His success In "han
dling" is considered the best evidence
of the truth of Governor Roosevelt's
assertion that "good trusts" are 'good
things;" and the trusts have been real
good things for the republican party
