The last two steamer which hare come into their ports with United States soldiers on board, have been refused the privil ege of allowing any of them to land. At first they gladly granted the priv ilege, but ccce was enough. They tfoa't wt any more of It. The Japanese government has de cided, to estitliih Its own factories for the manufacture of armor plates and sfcfp building materials. A site has been lect4. and work will begin sows. If there had been an armor plate trct over there and a Sampson j in tte navy to defend It. the Japanese j emperor would not ha been able to do that thing at alb We, in this coun try, can have what the trusts allow us to have and no more. Can any one blame the Cubans for o&jecting to the proposition to give ' this country the right to regulate their Usances when they reflect that the Cubans bate probably been reading the papers and know of the appropiia- tioas of the last American congress?

MeKinSey accounted to the world in bis Inaugural address that the United States, was at peace. There-Is a law that the private soldiers and non-com-mistloned ofScer shall draw SO per cent more pay la time of war than In time of peace. AH the soldiers in the Philippines are drawing war pay.

Are the soldiers la the Philip pines engaged In active war? That alia seems to be one of the things that o pop can Scd out. ' UNIVERSAL LYIKG The censorship of I the press, the editing out of everything that plutoc racy deems detrimental, together with the unparalleled mendacity of the pres ent president of the United States is producing 'a state of. affairs that was never before seen, Long; arMcles are published In the great dailies that are absolutely false from beginning to end, and known to be false by the responsi ble editors.. Yet they, continue to ap pear from day to day without any gen eral protest from the people. As a sam ple take what purported 'to be a . spe cial dispatch from the, City of Mexico, which appeared ln the Chicago Record. The article was more than a column long and went Into many details. It was to the effect that President Diaz was hopelessly insane; that there was likely to be a revolution in Mexico as soon as the fact became generally known and that foreigners doing busi ness there were in a great state of ex citement concerning the safety of their property. As soon as the news of this publication reached the City of Mex- i Ico. telegrams began to be pent to the United States by the score denying the truth of the article, and saying that President Diaz was in unusually good health and was out on a hunting trip. There is not a particle of doubt that the pretended dispatch was written in the editorial rooms of the Record. The paper never received any such dis patch. It was probably done to influ ence the price of stock, prevent the making of some contract or in some other way to deceive and by the de ception make money. The dispatch from South Africa, or what were pre tended to be dispatches, concerning the certain capture of Dewet and the surrender of Botha were the means of transferring many thousands of pounds from the hands of one set of men to another in London. Those dis patches were also .written in the edi torial rooms of the papers printing them. This universal lying has become so common that it no more is the occa sion for remark. All .the great dailies are engaged In it. The United States will soon become known as the nation of universal lying. It is well known that in many offices of great dailies there is a rule to never correct a mis statement. Will there be a revolt against this? If there is not, our civilization will disappear. What use is it to reprove a. boy In the common smools for lying horse thief? The boy has heard how the president time and again asserted that the state troops in the Philip pines of their own motion agreed to stay and fight the Filipinos after the protocol was signed with Spain, when he knew that they and all their offi cers were using every means in their power to get permissicn to return to th United States. He knows that when the president declared in his in augural address that this country was I at peace with all men and nations, I luai ri-u oa n t . i - . i xi I'M M r nl noo inn . nr rrwtna n-nvn ing paid for war services, that is 20 per cent more than In time of peace. What is the use to tell a boy if he makes a promise be mutt keep it, when the president openly advocates the violation of the most sacred prom ises and the boy knows it. What is the use to try to teach ethics in the com mon schools here In Lincoln, when prominent lawyers go about the streets saying that the United States has a right to violate a treaty and repudiate a promise whenever it sees fit? Is not the very foundation of business, fam ily life and society itself being de stroyed? McKinley is the first president of the United States who was vile enough to appear before an audience and lie. He is the first president who would write out a lie and. incorporate it in a state paper. He is the first one to ad vocate the repudiation of solemn promises made by the nation, and it is to his vile Influence, more than to any j other one thing that lying has become almoft universal. . i CAUGHT THE YANKEES. The trusts are no respectors of per sons. They go for the New England i Yankees Just as they do for the west- merchantg. A committee has been j annolntrf hv ,h Masrhcptta iela. lature to Investigate the tyrannies of the tobacco trust. Some of the vic- tims appeared before the committee on mercantile affairs of that body to protest against the methods of the to bacco trust In preventing the sale of the goods of smaller manufacturers. Mr. E. U. Harrington of Boston said that he sold some tobacco to W. E. Sanborn of Holyoke, and after it was delivered It was returned with a note from Mr. Sanborn saying that the Con tinental Tobacco company had dropped him from the list of customers, and that he was forced to give up the to bacco. C. E. Austen of Lowell also had written Mr.. Harrington that he could not handle his good3 because of the trust. The Independent has advocated for a long time the sending of some mis sionaries down into that benighted re gion. Those chaps have been advocat- ing every proposition put forward by Wall street for the last thirty years. Now that the gentlemen of Wall street begin to turn down the screws, they don't know what is hurting them. They have advocated and upheld the policies that have concentrated wealth and produced trusts, the most pernic ious of which has been the idea of protection. The populists told them years ago that the policies they were advocating would make the people of the whole nation hirelings working for a few trust magnates, whose orders would have to be obeyed. This sort of kindness was rewarded by the retort: "Oh! you are a wild-eyed lunatic!" STILL. A HYPOCRITE The death of ex-President Harrison gave McKinley another chance to play the hypocrite. Notwithstanding that he had done everything in his power to humiliate and disgrace the Harrison name and family, he now comes out and calls the dead ex-president "the dearest citizen." It is well known that President Harrison was engaged in preparing a case to be brought to rein state his son whom McKinley had practically dishonorably dismissed from the United States army. The world has never seen a sneak and hy pocrite equal to this man McKinley. This last act is in perfect conformity to his whole reign. He declared that it was our plain duty to give Porto Rico free trade and then signed a bill laying heavy import duties. He talked about benevolent assimilation and then slew 30,000 Filipinos, bayonetting many of them after tney were,wounded and helpless. If any such creature ever lived on this earth before Mc Kinley appeared, The Independent would like to know when he lived and what country he inhabited. BUNCOED MORMONS The republicans have succeeded in buncoing the Mormons just as com pletely as they did the democrats and Senator Morgan about his canal bill. There is no doubt that the bill that passed the Utah legislature legalizing polygamy was in strict compliance with the contract entered into with Perry Heath whereby the Mormon bishops agreed to throw Utah into the republican column. The Mormons ful filled their part of the contract, but at the last moment they were buncoed in the approved republican style. . The governor of Utah, who is a Mormon and the progeny of a plural marriage, saw that it was to the interest of the state to veto the bill. How he came to see that fact so suddenly is not ex plained. If he had intimated while the bill was before the legislature that he would veto it, the bill would have been dropped. The republicans got the leg islature and the senator who holds of fice for six years, now the Mormons have nothing to show for their part of the deal. ALPESTINE IRRIGATED Palestine was at one time in a high state of cultivation. By the Mosaic in stitute, after the exodus from Egypt, the lands were divided among the adult males, each receiving from 16 to 25 acres. The fields were watered from canals and conduits communicating with the brooks and streams. When, through the vicissitudes of war and rapine, these irrigation works were destroyed and life rendered insecure, agriculture declined. What was at one time a fruitful land of plenty under irrigation, today is practically a bar ren waste. There is an old legal phrase that declares there is no wrong without a remedy. The plutocrats have now twisted this bit of common sense around so it reads: "No remedy no wrong." There is no remedy for trusts, therefore trhsts are not wrong. This is equal to some of the economic phrases that they invented when the money question was under discussion. It will not be long until we find posted up all over the country and in the house of every mullet head, "No rem edy no wrong." There is no remedy for trusts. The Philippine commission has found it necessary to pass a bill mak ing it a felony with punishment of fine and imprisonment to refuse to accept an office in the civil government which the McKinley carpet-baggers are trying to set up in that country. Those "millions" of loyal Filipinos which McKinley talked about in his inaugural are very queer patriots. None of them want office. They all love the old tyrant of the White house with all their hearts, but none of them want to accept service under him. Ed P. Smith, one of Nebraska's fam ous democrats, in a speech before the Omaha Commercial club said he doubted the competency of the average legislature to pass a bill that would successfully stand the test of tte courts, that would afford the public much relief. He said it was a very difficult thing to do, and was inclined to doubt whether anything short of government ownership of the roads woula satisfactorily solve this prob lem. He thought the general tendency of things indicated that such would be the final outcome. . DONT BE PERTURBED The Bee in commenting on Presi dent Hadley's populistic speech, says: "President Hadley of Yale last win ter proposed that the octopus be ex terminated through ostracism. He has had another revelation, and now sees the establishment of the empire and the coronation of the emperor within twenty-five years as the result of mod ern commercial methods. To avoid this social catastrophe he proposes the wider spread and more general appli cation of the Christian religion. Pres ident Hadley is yet'a young man and will easily live to laugh at the appre hensions that now perturb him." That Is the old plan. When the peo ple wrere warned that the republican party would establish imperialism we were told that In a few months we would laugh at our apprehensions," but imperialism has been established in its most disgusting form. When a protest was made against militarism, we were told not to be perturbed. No such thing was possible in this repub lic. The last congress provided for a standing army of 100,000 men and a large increase in the navy. Don't have apprehensions. Don't be perturbed. The constitution has been overthrown, the Declaration of Independence has been trampled underfoot, a standing army has been established, a great navy has been built, we have made an emperor to govern the Philippines and Porto Rico, but don't be perturbed. It is all right.t President Hadley says that the next thing is an emperor at Washington to govern this country, but don't have any apprehensions. It is all right. The P Street Idiot in commenting on President Hadley's remarks heads his article: "Humor vs. Emperor," and says: "President Hadley of Yale prophe cied the other day that there would be an emperor ruling this country in twenty-five years, if this trust business isn't stopped. But as the most of the aunties claim that there is an em peror on deck at Washington this blessed minute, and his name is Mc Kinley, it may be that we shall not notice the change." The Idiot never heard any one talk about there being an emperor of the United States. William I. has always been called Emperor of the Philip pines. President ' Hadley has set the time when there will be an emperor of the United States at twenty-five years. The prospect of having an em peror of the United States the Idiot thinks is very humorous, and goes on to say that "This country is too famil iar with great titles to be intimidated in this way." The disestablishment of the English Church has been indefinitely postponed by the course of the nonconformist churches themselves. The dissenting churches have become very much what the protestant churches in this coun try are, while the self-sacrificing la bors in the midst of the poorest and most oppressed parts of the population of the great English cities, which has characterized the clergy of the estab lished church, has endeared them to the hearts of the people. The noncon formist manufacturer considered it one of his divine rights to be elected to parliament and after making a suit able donation to some charitable in stitution, to be knighted. The actual work among the poor has been done by established church curates. The general unsoundness of mind in the people of the eastern states, who on account of their numbers overrule the conservatism and common sense of the west, is demonstrated by the thousands of cranks who are at large in those communities. If a man from any cause becomes prominent before the people, he will not only be hurried in clouds of letters from cranks, but his house will be beseiged by them and life itself made a misery to him. If a woman becomes prominent be cause she has engaged in active char ity and it becomes generally known, an ordinary mailsack will hardly hold her dally" mail. The statement of Helen Gould, made to the public some time ago, is a case in point. The steel trust continues the old practice of selling steel rails to Am ericans for $28 per ton and to Japanese and other foreigners for $21. The Din gley bill was simply the grant of pow er to the steel manufacturers to tax the American people $7 a ton on steel rails. The old companies exercised that pow er to the limit and the new steel trust will continue the practice. Still the mullet heads believe that "the foreign er pays the tax." They will continue to believe it until Mark Hanna or some other republican boss tells them that it isn't any longer true. After such a statement they won't believe it for an other day. A New York physician writes a pri vate letter to the editor of The Inde pendent in which he asserts his belief that leprosy will break out in many different places in the. United States during the next five or six years. He says it takes that length of time for the disease to develop in the ordinary healthy person. There are over 30,000 lepers In the Philippine islands. Hun- 1 ' dreds of soldiers and officers have been exposed to contamination. When the army returns from the Philippines these officers and soldiers will be scat tered all over the republic. He fur ther says that there are known cases of leprosy in eleven different states of the union at the present time. All of them have developed from contact with Asiatics. : He advises the burn ing of every article of clothing that the soldiers bring from the Philip pines and the disinfection of every other article ina the most thorough manner; He; says even that 'will not make us safe. The day that McKinley went-into this imperial business will be a day of sorrow for inany genera tions yet to come. ' THE WOOL. TRUST . Whenever the republican party wants to carry three or four states where the production of wool is a large feature, the boss simply orders the wool combine which is located in Boston to raise the price of wool for a few weeks. The combine obeys and the mullet heads in those states go wild shouting for McKinley and Din gley tariffs. As soon as the election is over, down goes the price of wool. Wool comes into the market in the spring and summer months. By the time the election comes on in the fall the combine has its hands on most of it, so when it raises the price there is not very much offered. Wool has been on the decline ever since McKin ley's election. But Hanna, after the campaign began, had it announced that the republicans would carry Mon tana, Wyoming and several other stat es on account of the rise in the price of wool. Now a dispatch from Chey enne in speaking of the wool com bine says: "The whole game Is in their hands and they manipulate the market at will. The producer is "not in it" to any appreciable extent. From present indications there is no telling when and where the present slump in wool will end, especially when the market it loaded up with the new crop." "CAN'T DO ANYTHING." The republican leaders have arrived at that point where they openly and without shame plead the baby act. The trusts are here, they say, and nothing can now be done to suppress them. . Not only the republican party can't do anything, but the whole na tion can't, not even if they were all united and determined. Never was there a more silly proposition soberly put forth. ' The trusts being illegal could be treated as outlaws in every state in the union. They could be forbidden the use of the courts. Their contracts and their debts could be repudiated. If any defendant should plead and es tablish by evidence in the court that action was brought by a trust the case could be immediately dismissed. How long could a trust do business under such an order of things as that. About two minutes. Any state in the union has a right to pass a law that no corporation can do business within its limits without a charter from that state. If any state finds that a trust is doing business within its jurisdiction, the trust can be forced to cease doing business. The power of taxation can be brought to bear. The cost of charters can be graduated so that after a rea sonable capitalization the taxes can be made so high that no billion dollar trust, or half billion for that matter, could exist. It is well known that trusts crush out opposition by going into the mar ket and selling goods below cost un til their weaker competitors are forced into bankruptcy or to join the trust. Justice Clark of North Carolina says this can be met by a statute empow ering the courts in such cases to issue writs against any corporation that has thus reduced prices of the manu factured article from again raising them, and making an attempt to do so a forfeiture of the charter, provided a jury shall find that the reduction was made for the purpose of destroying competition. As under the statute re ferred to in the paragraph above, a corporation can not do business in a state without taking out a charter therein, this would close out all such operations. Individuals may reduce prices at will; but, when corporations created only by the state use their powers against the public interest, it can be made cause for withdrawing those powers. There are numberless other ways in which the trusts could be crushed out of existence, if the government only wanted to do it. The trouble is that government is In the hands of the trusts and they are not going to abol ish themselves. But when the republican party puts up the plea of "can't" it makes the open confession that It is a weakling not fit to be trusted with government at all. It is the first great party that was ever known to openly plead the baby act. Read the advertisements in The In dependent. If you need seed or farm supplies -write the different advertis ers for price lists and buy where your dollars get the most and best.' CHEAPEST AND BEST It may not be out of place for The Independent in a modest way to ' call attention to the fact that its subscrib ers receive during the year more first class literature for less money than is furnished by any other publisher in the whole United States. Recently a man who has a world-wide reputation as a scholar and writer, said: VI take the Nation, the Springfield Republican, the New York Independent and some of the. Illustrated weeklies, and I say, that the writing In the Nebraska In dependent Is equal to the best of them. In fact, I take more pleasure in' read ing the Nebraska Independent than any of them. I cannot use my eyes too much, and my wife reads to me a great deal.: On the evening that The Inde pendent comes to my house, she usual ly begins at the beginning and reads the whole paper to me and I am always sorry when it is finished." The publisher would also call atten tion to the fact that tbere is more orig inal matter printed in The .Indepen dent than in the three-dollar, week lies. It is always up to date and in tensely interesting. In quality, the best literary men, scholars and econ omists, unreservedly bear testimony that it is equal to the best and in amount it is more. That makes it by far the cheapest paper of its class pub lished in the United States. It will be the aim of the publisher to keep the paper up to this high standard. It should be a weekly visitor to every Nebraska home. It already has a cir culation in every state and territory as well as in those still undefined regions of the world, generally designated as "our new possessions." The gentleman above quoted also said that The Inde pendent was different Jn style of writ ing and the choice of subjects treated from any other paper. It also differs in another respect which is equally unique. It is the cheapest as well as the best, two qualities which are sel dom found together. A LAND OF DESPOTISM The American citizen, unless he is a court favorite, would do well to stay out of the Philippines. That is the only spot on all the earth where he is not under the protection of the consti tution and the treaties made in accord ance with it. But in the Philippines he is a subject of iho Emperor McKinley. He cannot demand a trial by jury, free speech is suppressed, his property can be taken without compensation, he cannot bear arms, he may have sol diers quartered in his house in time of peace without his consent, his pri vate papers may be seized, he may be convicted the second ume for the same offense, he cannot demand the presence of his accusers, he cannot demand the service of counsel, .ccessive bail may be demanded, cruel and unusual pun ishments may be inflicted upon him and he has no protection from any of these things. All that he can do is to appeal to the tender mercies of the emper-: who is more than 10,000 miles away. He cannot even do that without the permission of the emperor's sub alterns. Anywhere else in the .world, whether it be Russia, Austria, Turkey, Persia or Hindostan, the constitution follows him and shields him, but in the Phil ippines he is the abject subject of the emperor whom the republican party has set up in Washington. The con stitution does not protect him there.. If he dares to criticise the subalterns whom the emperor has sent there, he may be shot, imprisoned for life or de ported, as was Editor Rice. Therefore The Independent says to all American citizens who are not sure of the favor of Emperor McKin ley, and they will consult their own best interests by staying away from the Philippines. Every natural right is gone the moment he lands in that land of despotism. All the newspaper correspondents left long ago. A writer in a Chicago paper asserts most vehemently that the old original thirteen states will never allow this republic to become an empire. In an swer to President Hadley he says: "Never, never, never." But this re public is already an empire. If It is not, there is no meaning in English words. The lexicographers have all given us false definitions. A country including several nations and exercis ing supreme control over any of them is an empire. That is what the United States is today. McKinley is emperor of the Philippines or there never was an emperor. President Hadley says that in twenty-five years we will have an emperor of the United States if the trusts are not overthrown. What is the prospect of the overthrow of the trusts as long as the republican party remains in power? The naval estimates presented in the house of commons last week the budget for the coming year shows an expenditure of upward of 181,000,000 against 150,000,000 for last year. Un less the revenue is increased the state ment .of Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, chancellor of the exchequer, will show a deficit of nearly 54,000,000, the larg est ever estimated. The people of Eng land are finding, as well as the people of this country, that imperialism comes high. If we will . have it, we must pay. the bill. ' m.'j lyj id h un . .
