Dear Sister: On the evening of July
6 we received the news confirming the
capture of Vlcksburg. This glorious
report caused some excitement among
our boys. We illuminated our camp
with lights, build bonfires, shot squibs,
etc. A lot of U3 were busy preparing
squibs, when our little stock of pow
der took fire and scattered us. Some
three or four of us were badly burnt.
The flash threw the blaze into my face,
which made it one solid blister, but is
about well now. The other boys that
were burnt went to the hospital, but I
thought myself just as well off in
camp. We have black cooks now.
Tommy is our faithful, good-hearted
cook. He has been with us six months
and we expect to keep him till the war
ends. You may think the war about
over, but I think it will last one year
yet. People who never served in the
army are too apt to think that the
downfall of a city or the capture cf a
few thousand prisoners will crush the
rebellion. It Is badly crippled. The
Mississippi will soon be open to the
gulf, then our beautiful flag will sweep
down the length of the mighty stream
unharmed. The rebels may tear up
our railroads and Interfere with our
communication by land, but we can
hold the river in spite of all they can
do. I think we could not ask for finer
prospecU of putting down the rebel
lion than we have at present, but it
will take time to accomplish the work.
I understand that our army took 32,-
t men at Vlcksburg, many horses
and over 200 cannon and more than
100.000 stand of small arms. What a
victory that was!

HUNTING FOR LOOT
Congressman by thn Score arc Hiking for
Cuba and tho Philippine to
What They can Steal.
Washington, D. C, March 22. 1901.
There has been a great exodus of con
gressmen to Cuba since congress ad
journed. Apparently they are going
down to look over the land and see
what they will have for themselves
and their friends.
Some of them who have returned do
not hesitate to say that in their opin
ion Cuba will never be able to govern
Itself.
That is their way of putting it, but
what they really mean is that the ad
ministration will never permit Cuba
to be independent.
The tourist congressmen assure us
that the Cuban constitutional conven
tion is made up of the riff-raff of the
island and that the respectable property-holding
classes are not repre
sented. The property holding classes are
mostly Spaniards still loyal to their
native country and only in Cuba to
make money so it is difficult to see how
they could take part in a constitutional
convention of the Cuban people.
Some republican congressmen are
coming back boasting that they went
with General Wood to the Cuban dele
gates and told them they had better
accept the Piatt amendment or the ad
ministration would call an extra ses
sion of congress and then the Cubans
would see what awful things would
happen to them for their insubordina
tion. What a nice spectacle it is for our
republican congressmen to go down to
Cuba as lackeys of the administration
and bulldoze this poor people who
have patiently suffered outrage and
plunder under our military rule and
still hoped that we would redeem our
solemn pledge of giving them inde
pendence. One congressman, who seems very
ignorant of Cuban history, says:
"I certainly do not look for any
trouble in the island. I think the Cu
bans too cowardly to fight."
He forgets the heroic struggle of
starving Cubans against Spanish op
pression and let him not be too sure
that this people will not fight again for
liberty if they find this country acting
the role of the tyrannical despot.
Quite a number of congressmen are
going to the Philippines during the
recess. Congressman Hull, chairman
of the house committee on military af
fairs is going there this summer. Af
ter doing yeoman service in getting the
army bill passed, he is now going to
look after his own interests.
He is connected with the Philippine
Lumber company and while no one but
the favored promoters know exactly
what that is, there need be no doubt
but that the rich timber lands of the
Philippines are to be exploited for the
benefit of the administration favorites.
Right In line with this is the an
nouncement from the Taft commission
that the civil government will be put
into operation about July 1, of course
i 1
Malinda Royer.
it Is carefully explained that although
the insurrection is really over yet we
will need about 100,000 soldiers to do
"police duty." .
That means that the soldiers will
protect the speculators and carpet-bag
gers while they despoil the helpless na
tives. Those who are foolish enough
to accept the promises of the admin
istration will be the first victims of
the carnival of loot and plunder which
is about to begin.
The only Filipinos who will be safe
will be those who take to the hills and
keep out of reach of the nice benev
olent Americans who are going to
show them what a poor and common
and clumsy thing was the Spanish op
pressor with his mediaeval methods of
doing things. .
Yes, indeed, imperialism, up-to-date
with all modern Improvements, is to be
applied in the Philippines at once.
Somehow or other the able-bodied,
patriotic men of the country do not ap
preciate the privilege of enlisting as
soldiers to do police duty and protect
the despoilers of the Filipinos. Tak
ing the total enlistments all over the
country, they fall below 800 a week.
Yet here is a country with a popula
tion of seventy-five millions. If it
were, a war of freedom or a call for
an army to help the oppressed fight
ing for freedom there would be twenty
thousand enlistments a week.
But . the men of the country have
some manhood and independence left,
even if they did vote for the adminis
tration which is now applying imper
ialism and militarism. It is going to
be mighty hard to recruit the army of
he rnilippines. ....
During the campaign It was the cus
tom of republican orators to profess
great sympathy for the Boers when
ever popular sympathy made such a
course advisable.
Now that the campaign is over the
state department issues a most re
markable document defining the status
of the Transvaal with the United
States.
It says, in effect, that the consuls
her' 'ter sent from this country to the
Transvaal will be credited to whatever
authority "happens for the moment to
be in de facto possession of the place
to which the consul is credited. Which
means that they will be accredited to
Great Britain because that nation
holds military possession of all large
towns.
If this custom had been adopted
when our own country was fighting
England, say in the war of 1812, we
would have been completely cut off
from outside help and sympathy.
It seems as though the administra
tion might have the decency to keep
its hands off South Africa if it could
not see the propriety of a warm ex
pression of sympathy such as this
struggling people richly deserve from
us.

POPULISM IN CANADA
The People Frightened at American Rail
road Combinations, Propose to Take
the Canadian Roads Before
they are Gobbled by Morgan.
How suddenly , new conditions may
advance a question like government
ownership of railways from the stage
of academic discussion to that of a
blazing practical issue, has just now
been illustrated in the neighboring
country of Canada. Our people on
this side of the line, by the way,
make a mistake in failing to observe
more constantly and closely the
trends of Canadian policy and the
very intelligent and vigorous discus
sion of public affairs that goes on in
the Dominion parliament at Ottawa,
and also in the provincial parliaments,
and the Canadian press. The whole
Dominion has been thrown into a
great discussion by the recent railway
consolidations in the United States.
The foremost part in this has been
taken by the Hon. William Findlay
Maclean, editor and proprietor of the
Toronto World, for some ten years
past a member of the Dominion par
liament. Mr. Maclean declares that
the railway movement under the lead
ership of men like Messrs. Pierpont
Morgan, James J. Hill, Mr. Harriman,
Mr. Vanderbilt, Mr. George Gould,
and others in the United States, will
not be content to unify transportation
interests on the southern side of an
artificial political line across the con
tinent, but will naturally enough seeK
to assimilate the Canadian Pacific and
Grand Trunk systems of Canada with
the other factors of a traffic system to
which these Canadian lines naturally
belong. Elaborate and protracted de
bates have been going on in the parlia
ment at Ottawa, and the newspapers
from one end of Canada to the other
have taken up the theme. It should
be borne in mind that Canada already
has a government railroad, the Inter
colonial system of about 1,700 miles
the total railway mileage of the Do
minion about 17,000. There is a pend
ing proposal favored by the prime min
ister, Sir Wilfred Laurier, and the
government of the day, to build an ad
ditional national railway from To
ronto to a point on the Georgian bay.
The object of this line is to provide an
outlet by way of the all-Canadian St.
Lawrence route for the largest possi
ble amount of the vast business that is
developing on the Great Lakes. This
proposition Mr. Maclean strongly fav
ors; but he deems it wholly insufficient
for the protection of Canadian inter
ests. He advocates the complete and
immediate absorption of the Canadian
Pacific, Grand Trunk, and r.ll other
Canadian roads by the government for
public ownership and operation. Mr.
Maclean in making his proposals., dis
claimed any Intention to attack or em
barrass the government; yet in some
quarters it was thought that present
political influences were perilously
friendly toward the projects of the
railway magnates of the United Stat
es. From "The Progress of the

THE GREAT TRUSTS
Let the Nation Make tise of These Tremen
dous Organizations for the Benefit
of All the People.
The legitimate object of all Indus
trial enterprise is the production and
distribution of economic goods; are
the evils of the trust then the evils of
production or of distribution or of
both?
It has been wisely said and often
quoted that "He who causes two blades
of grass to grow where only one grew
before is a public benefactor." If this
Is true of grass or other farm prod
ucts, is it not equally true of manu
factured products? Sugar, oil, barbed
wire, wire nails, steei rails, etc.?
To obtain the greatest amount of
utility for the least amount of human
effort, is and ever has been the pur
pose and end of all industrial progress,
since the advent of man upon the plan
et, and to this end are all his improve
ments and inventions.
He has invented the mowing and
reaping machine that he may harvest
a greater number of blades of grass or
shieves of wheat for a lesser amount
of human effort than by the more pri
mitive methods. He has invented the
cotton gin, the spinning ginny and the
power loom that he may produce a
greater amount of the fabrics of com
merce for a lesser amount of the la
bor than by the hand process. He has
invented the locomotive, the steam
ship and the electric telegraph for the
purpose of transmitting intelligence
and the product of his labor with
greater facility and at greater economy
than by the old methods. Last, but
not least, he has Invented the "trust"
that he may eliminate many of the
costs of production and distributoin,
that by superior combinations of capi
tal he may be enabled to extend the
market for his wares to the remotest
markets of the world and finally that
he may minimize the hazard of his
business by minimizing the ruinous
war of competition for "self -preservation
is the first law of nature."
It is by reason of such improvements
that what was once regarded the lux
uries of the rich have become the nec
essities of the poor (a greater economy
of production), a good, not an evil.
But say some, "The trust has thrown
men out of employment;" so has the
mower and reaper, the sewing ma
chine, the cotton gin, the spinning
jenny, and the power loom. The loco
motive has displaced the stage coach,
the freighter with his mules and oxen.
The steamship has displaced the sail
ing vessel; all such changes are
frought with such evils, yet the gen
eral effect has been for the good of
mankind; constant improvement
means constant readjustment. The
physical sciences have out-marched
the social sciences and statecraft.
Our industrial system is the result of
the toil, the genius of thousands of
generations of men, from the time that
our savage ancestor crawled out of
his hole in the side hill with some new
device by which he expected to cap
ture some reptile for his dinner to the
incorporation of the billion dollar
steel "trust," the problem has been,
how to obtain a greater amount of
good things for a lesser amount of
human effort. To attempt to return to
more primitive and more expensive
methods, is to take a backward step
towards barbarism.
If the evils of the trust system are
not those of production and the rem
edy for such evils be not to return to
a more expensive method of produc
tion, then what are the evils of the
system and what are the remedies?
The trust may be said to be a good
thing for those that enjoy its benefits;
if all could enjoy its benefits it would
"be a good thing for all, goes without
saying, but how can such a condition
be brought about?
The city of Hastings (In which I
live) has an electric light "trust," but
as all the stock in the said trust is
owned by the city and therefore every
man, woman and child is in a sense a
proprietor, we feel no baa effects of
such a ."trust."
If the government owned all the rail
roads the people would feel no oppres
sion by the transportation trust. Gov
ernment and municipal ownership of
all natural monopolies would greatly
mitigate the trust evil.
Men harness Niagara and make it
do the work of thousands of horses
and millions of men, but should they
attempt to disregard the law of grav
ity and try to force the current up
stream, they would find such labor and
expense to no purpose except to teach
them of their own folly.
The forces of society are quite as ir
resistable they cannot be defied or
defeated, yet they may be directed or
controlled by intelligence and perse
verance to the good of all. To combat
inevitable law Is to lose time and
waste energy.
If the law can say how much a man
may receive for the use of his money
when he loans it to another, why can
not the law say how much a man may
realize on his investment if he puts his
money into trust stocks, and require
that all over that amount shall be paid
into the public treasury?
A law fixing the amount of dividends
that a trust might pay on its stock and
providing that all surplus be paid into
the public treasury, and fixing the
minimum and maximum wages of the
employes of the trust from the presi
dent down to the commonest laborer,
and making the watering of stocks a
felony would greatly mitigate the
evils of the trust.
Such a law would not interfere with
the economy of production in the least,
but would extend the benefits of su
perior organization to all of the peo
ple by the conserving of progress and
justice at the same time.
The advantages of great capital and
superior -organization are as potent in
industrial matters as in military mat
ters in carrying on a campaign; and
an attempt to force by legislative en
actment, a return to more primitive.
more expensive and less effective
methods will but delay the final solu
tion of this great economic question;
but such a policy Is not likely to be
adopted in this country, for the politi
cal party that seeks to re-establish the
primitive for the modern, the more ex
pensive for the more economical, dis
organization for. organization, will
stand small chance of legislating at all
on the question and would but legis
late to its own destruction were it per
mitted to do so.
The true friends of the people in this
controversy are those who admit the
advantages of the. present. Industrial
conditions as regards the economy of
production and are prepared, to extend
those advantages to all the people in
stead of allowing them to be monop
olized by a few of the people.
The man or the political party with
a false philosophy upon social ques
tions, is more dangerous to the pub
lic than the man or political party
with no philosophy at all who just lets
matters drift.
I think that it behooves the populist
party to get right and stay right upon
this question; that party is right and
has been right from the first upon the
question of natural monopolies (pub
lic ownership) and it has only to ex
tend its philosophy to those monop
olies that have not heretofore - been
regarded as "natural monopolies" de
manding government control to the ex
tent at least that the surplus over a
fair return on an honest Investment
(after paying fair salaries to the em
ployes) shall be paid Into the . public
treasury; such measures would solve
the trust and the labor question at
one and the "same time.

a Secret
The following very significant edi
torial appeared the other day in the
Chicago Times-Herald:
"E. H. Harriman's name will shortly
be enrolled among the directors of the
Burlington system. This is cot be
cause he has procured control of the
property. It has been officially and au
thoritatively stated that neither he nor
J. J. Hill has secured control. So far
as Mr. Hill is concerned he has not
bought into the property at all, not
withstanding all the reports to the
contrary that have been placed in cir
culation. Mr. Harriman has, however.
He has been so heavy a purchaser that
thoe v.quainted with all the facts de
clare that"did 5 ' -v.f,,on.
trol he could easily obti-.f As
things stand today he holds enough
stock to entitle him to a voice in the
management of the property and to
wield a very potent influence in the
direction of Its affairs. This influence
has already been exerted to the extent
of having the plans adopted for the
extension of the system very seriously
modified. It will not be extended to
Salt Lake City or the Pacific coast.
Mr. Harriman has succeeded in pre
venting that move being consummated.
Any move in that direction now would
send him into the market immediately
as a further purchaser of the stock.
The Burlington will not be consoli
dated with any other system. There
is not the slightest probability of It
becoming' either the eastern end of he
Great Northern or the western end of
the Pennsylvania. It will continue to
pursue its independent way as it has
done in the past. There are not likely
to be any further changes in the ex
ecutive, or official staff of the road, and
so far as the public is concerned the
relations it has sustained' to its patrons
will remain as they have been. Not
the slightest change in them will be
noticeable."
As usual the dallies are a week or
two behind The Independent in their
news. Some time ago The Independent
laid before its readers all the facts in
the case, and told just why it was so
necessary for the B. & M. to have a
United States senator. That corpora
tion has been exceedingly lucky. It
elected a senator, but he died before
he took his seat and it had to make a
long and costly campaign to get an
other. The shutting off cf the B. & M.
from a Pacific coast connection is
about the only accurate statement In
the above article. It will stay shut
off unless it gets a senator. Harriman
does not come anywhere near having a
controlling amount of stock in the B.
& M. The present managers have that
stock safely in their own control and
Harriman nor no other syndicate will
get it unless the road falls In getting
a senator. The fight in the Nebraska
legislature Is simply a corporation
fight. The people have no interest in
volved. The majority is simply the
agent of different railroad corpora
tions. As far as any national or state
policies are concerned, they are not
involved in this contest.
