Robert T. Porter has been given the use of many columns in, the dailies to an tagonize the proposition. The line of attack is to collect statistics of the operation of public ownership in Eu ropean cities and to prove from, the figures that It does not pay. It is only another. Illustration of the old saying that anything can.be proved by sta tistics. ". t The force of the argument lies in the action of certain old world muni cipal authorities which have departed from the populistlc doctrine of the public ownership only of natural mon opolies or such industries that are of a pureiy public character. Some of these cities have set up manufactories of saddlery, and have gone Into banking, marketing and other things that are not monopolies and not essentially of a public nature. Most of these under takings have proved disastrous and have burdened the communities with debt. From these disastrous experi ments the illustrations and arguments are drawn against the public owner ship of telegraphs, telephones, street car lines, city light, waterworks and railroads. The things denounced as populistic and resulting in disaster wherever tried, are not populistic at all. The ownership by the public of a natural monopoly and the public ownership of thorn things where there is no mon- preceded it. Is by indirection. Some thing that is not populism at all is set up and demolished. Then the attack ing party takes great glory to himself and declares that he has demolished populism. , SXEAKS AND COWARDS. There was a scene in the Nebraska state senate last Friday which was too disgraceful for words to describe. It has been known to a few that orders had been sent to the different legisla tures in which the republicans had a majority to pass a resolution demand ing the submission of an amendment to the eonstitution of the United States which was necessary on account of our marvelous commercial growth and ter ritorial expansion. The object is by constitutional amendments to make this republic an empire. The republi- .... t . 1 - t i- a - j was the only one vile enough to give j willing obedience to this order. They j went about it like sneaks and cowards, j The resolution was submitted and then the republicans left the chamber, i They did not propose to give any rea j sons for the introduction of the reso- lution or try to support it by argu j rnent. Furthermore they would not listen to any argument against it. When Senator Ransom rose to speak the republicans got up and left and re fused to come back until a vote was to be taken. Kvery one of the sneaks and cowards voted for it, including j Crounse, who has posed as a man of 1 tjtm imva nl They had a majority and the resolution was speedily passed. j These men, one and all, are sneaks, cowards and traitors to the principles of this government. They are the only j ones In the whole United States who have proved themselves vile enough to vote to eliminate the principles of whington. Jefferson and Lincoln from our constitution and not one of them hatl tilS courage to defend the proposition or attempt to defend it vilh rason or logic. When a man will put forward a proposition to change our torm of government and will not ,v'n attempt to give a reason, he is a Cf,ak an1 a coward. These are the thP that were elected with Mark ,,tnD' corruption fund. v .. .l ECONOMIC ROT. Sterling Mcrton has one distinc- those goods. No law, no edict or de cree can repeal or mitigate the inexor able economic law of demand and sup ply which fixes the prices of these and all other saleable things." Suppose "a. law, edict or decree" should be made that the mints of the United States should stop coining gold and silver and that no more national bank notes or notes of any other kind should be issued, how long would "the economic law of supply and demand" sustain the prices of the products of starch factories and cereal mills? 3v ery man of common sense knows that -j. . . within a year there would be a de cline of prices of those and all other products and if the law or decree re mained in force, it would be but a few years until there would not be enough money in circulation to pay half the price that now prevails. Demand and supply does not fix the price "of these and all other things." There is an other factor just as important as eith er of them which enters into the fixing of prices. It is the quantity of money in circulation. According to Morton, if there were only a hundred dollars in" the whole United States, he would continue to get ten cents a pound for his starch and five cents for his oat meal. No greater nonsense was ever printed. The Independent made strenuous ef forts to get the facts about recruiting for the new army even going so far as to employ a clipping bureau but the result was only to get the places where recruiting stations had been es tablished. Not a single line in the whole press of the United States about the number of recruits enlisted, ex cept what had appeared in this paper. At last one or two Washington corre spondents who have been at great trouble to get facts, say that recruiting is almost at a standstill, not enough new men being secured to make good the losses in the army as it exists. It is said by the Washington correspon dents that there is talk of lowering the physical standard. On the other hand the army officers say that such a course would only result in greater disaster, for if tramps and weaklings were accepted, they would soon only be a burden. They claim that it is ut terly useless to enlist any but the best to serve in the Philippines, as only the strongest and best can endure the cli mate and hardships of a soldier's life in those tropical islands. What is the emperor of the Philippines to do for soldiers to carry on his war of con quest? Will the next congress author ize a draft? When The Independent published the facts about the number of insane soldiers returned from the Philippines, that most magnificent liar, W. E. Cur tis, went to the trouble to write near ly a whole column in denial and then all t .e other mullet head writers re peated in their columns what the head liar had said. Now the report of the surgeon general has been printed and it states that 500 insane soldiers have been brought home and sent to the asylum 'at Washington. He further reports that the insane have up to the last month averaged twenty-five a month in the Philippines. The prin cipal cause of insanity is what the doc tors call nostalgia, that is homesick ness and despondency caused by the horrible surroundings and the reflec tion that the sufferer is 10,000 miles from home. The next largest number comes from sunstroke and tropical heat. Ten per cent is the result of alchoholism. Since the publication of the surgeon general's report there is no more chance to lie about the matter and the facts that were so vehemently denied a while ago are now acknowl edged to be true. The Independent told the truth in the first place as it always does. The republican experts who were engaged to coin phrases for the pur pose of befudling and befoging the in tellects of tfce honest voters did a very good job when they sent out that phrase: "The foreigner pays the tax." There is no doubt that thousands of them believed it. But since the Rus sian government has met the demand of the sugar trust with a contravailing duty on farm machinery, some of the very men who were foremost in de claring that the foreigner pays the tax, have come out in a formal statement to the effect that it is utterly impossible for the Russian farmers to pay the ad ditional cost oi farm implements and the American trade is ruined. If the declaration that the foreigner pays the tax had been true, the result of rais ing the tariff in Russia would have been to make the Americans pay the tax These high tariff men them selves now say that it did not work that way at all. It seems to have dawned on the members of the British parliament for the first time that they cannot tax a monopoly, however much they may wish to do so. The populists could have told them that long ago. Such statements have been made in pop ulist papers for years. Rhodes and Alfred Beit having got the British into a most disastrous war, parliament con cluded that it would make the said gentlemen pay part of the bill, so it put a heavy tax upon the South Afri can diamond mines. The next morning they found out that Beit, who is the richest man in England, had raised the price of diamonds 30 per cent. Rhodes and Beit don't Intend to pay any part of the cost of the African war and the British parliament has found out that it can't make them.

The time was when to call a thing socialism was all that was necessary.. That ended it. The same was true of commercial transactions. ' Just brand it free trade and the whole community would hold up its hands n holy terror, only equalled '-by that r other " terror which seized the hearts of all good people when some man was branded as unbeliever in a hell of fire and brimstone. But those days are pass ing away. People are no longer fright ened out of their senses by any one of those things. . The economist taught from the beginning that the creating of wealth depended on exchange. No man could get much wealth unless he was where he could exchange what he produced with others for the things he could not himself produce, and they laid down the principle that anything that prohibited or prevented the ex change of products was detrimental to the public interest and hindered the production of wealth. Tariffs were in vented to prevent the free exchange of products. They have cursed the world for many generations. They have not only hindered the production of wealth but they have been the great instru ments in concentrating .what wealth was produced in the hands of a few. They are the bottom of mct of the trusts. Where would the sugar trust be without the tariff? Take off the tariff and it would die the death of the unrighteous in less than three months It would no longer be in a positi m to issue orders to our army and navy, control the action of the president and the ways and means committee of the house as it did in the Porto Rico mat ter. The American Economist has lately been trying the old game by us ing scare heads about "Free Trade." It don't scare any more. People do not hold up their hands in horror at the sound of those words. The tariff robbers will have to try some other plan. They can't make even a mullet head believe that if he does not con tribute to the sugar trust two cents a pound on all the sugar he buys, that the whole nation will go to ruin. GLORY AND CONQUEST Imperialists, when they started out on their new found policy, did not take into consideration, the increased cost of modern warfare. Glory and conquest costs much more in "honest dollars than they formerly did. The deficit in the English revenues for the last two years has been something over $500,000,000 and the next year, if the Boer war continues, will increase it to at least $750,000,000. In the meantime direct taxation has been increased to the very highest point that seems pos sible for the people to endure. There is already talk there of resorting to in direct taxation. That- will not make the burden any lighter, but the men who run the government, having the fear of revolution before their eyes, and not daring to increase the direct taxation or add too much to the al ready immense government debt by trying to float new loans, see no other way to raise the money to pay the army and navy and provide the costly guns and ammunition with which to fight the wars of conquest. The at tempt made by the imperialists in both England and America to revert to the principles of George III. and thrust upon the people of the twentieth cen tury the policies of the seventeenth, is proving most disastrous. The attempt of Chamberlain and McKinley to stop progress toward the brotherhood of mankind and the federation of the world, is similar to the attacks that were made upon the theory of evolu tion, with this difference: These im perialists try to force their ideas upon the world with shot and shell and armies and navies. At last they will find out that the real things are im material things. Ideas are more pow erful than the greatest armies and the mightiest navies. YOU JUST CAN'T Rockefeller has clapped his hands on the new oil field just opened up in California. The investors there have felt his heavy hand already. Mr. B. Clark Wheeler, who went there to look over the field with an idea of invest ing, has returned. He does not pro pose to invest. He has arrived at the conclusion, as a result of his investi gations, that California oil stock will make a rapid descent in the early fu ture. "The oil field," said he, "is com ing under absolute control of the Standard Oil company. That company has an understanding with the South ern Pacific road, so that if an indepen dent oil man needs cars he finds the road is unable to supply them. If the oil man will sell his oil to the Stand ard company at the price fixed by the company Itself, he will have all the cars he wants. The Standard Oil com pany will swallow up the oil fields." That is the same game that Rocke feller has been playing ever since oil was first discovered in Pennsylvania. Rebates on the railroads or schemes like the above have been his main re liance. "The trusts are here to stay." "You can't" do anything to suppress trusts." On with the dance, for man kind has gone insane. The majority intend to concentrate all wealth in the hands of the few. The few will own the earth. But "you can't do any thing." If the trusts tell you to get off the earth, you will have to pre pare for a trip to the moon. "You can't do anything." x You can't own the railroads and make them treat all alike. You positively can't. That is what all the plutocratic dailies and magazines say. ,:';- Secretary of Agriculture Wilson seems to have made a wonderful dis covery. He declares in a recent maga zine article that "the American farmer is a business man, keen and alert." What will the poor stump speaker of the republican party do now? Worse than that, he goes on to say that the "American farmer is a gentleman." Think of that! Will Wilson be called upon to resign his office? Heretofore the business man was classed as the merchant, the manufacturer and the banker. The farmer wasn't in it at all. He belonged to a class about fifty-seven grades lower. He had no Knowledge of government and no right to interfere with what the bankers, merchants and manufacturers chose to do. Populistic ideas seem to have in vaded even McKinley 's cabinet. When speaking of the Philippines, the plutocratic papers always afiirm most solemnly that we have pledged the honor of the nation to set up a stable government and maintain order in those islands and that the pledge must be kept. Although there is no record of such a promise ever having been made by this nation, they claim that even an implied promise must be kept, so sacred is our "honor." When they write about Cuba and the promise that is of record, they have an entirely different opinion about promises and honor. How to reconcile these two . positions is one of those things that no pop can find out. McKinley is undoubtedly doing very much the same service for the repub lican party that Cleveland did for the democratic party. He is driving the best men in it into opposition. Benja min Harrison was an active opponent to the McKinley policy, as are Senators Hoar and Hale and ex-Speaker Reed. The opposition to Cleveland in his own party was more extensive for two reasons. There was a Bryan to -lead it and the democracy seemed to be less afflicted with partisan insanity. No democrat ever made such able speeches against the Cleveland policy as Hoar has against McKinley and afterward voted for and upheld Cleveland, as Senator Hoar has McKinley. The country merchants are calling upon the editors in their various towns for any amount of space to defend them from the encroachments of the supply houses. The generous country editor gives them column after col umn, to state their case and make their arguments. These merchants have lived off .from the editor for years. If it had not been for the editor they would have had no town and no trade at all. Now they are making bigger demands upon him than ever. The country editor should put a stop to this thing. He should say to the mer chant: I won't print a line of that stuff telling how you are entitled to the trade of the community because you live here and pay taxes. It is no way to save your trade any how. Beg ging for trade never brings it. Go home and write out an ad., giving your prices, showing that you can sell goods cheaper than the supply houses or great department stores. Stop your whining and do business. You will save your trade and I will have a chance to live also." The Independent makes these remarks because there is an immense amount of stuff appearing in the weekly papers, all of it free, making this sort of complaint. The Independent does that much for the country editor although he does steal most of his matter from this paper without giving credit. Most any man would be driven to stealing if he had been treated like the country mer chants do their editor in the matter of advertising. The department stores, the mail order establishment and the supply houses get their trade by ad vertising. The .country merchant that does not advertise don't deserve to get the trade and the editor is foolish to print his whining. Instead of doing that, tell him to advertise, let the peo ple know what he has to sell and the price. DEAD DUCKS The, real character of the present president of the United States and em peror of the Philippines was well il lustrated by his appointment of com missioners for the fair to be held at St. Louis. These are exceedingly large pieces of pie, the salary being $5,000 a year and expenses. He picked up a lot of dead political ducks who had been repudiated by the people for general incompetency and worthlessness. First among them is one John M. Thurston, whilom attorney of the Standard Oil company and dethroned Nebraska poli tician. Then comes Carter of Mon tana, the deadest . political duck in that state. Carter started out in busi ness in Nebraska as a book peddler and after ? succeeding in swindling a large number of farmers out of their homesteads up in Burt county, cleared out for the west. Next is McBride, the defeated gold bug senator from Ore gon, whose course in the senate had made him so unpopular that he didn't have a ghost of a show 'for re-election. John A. McCall of the New York Life Insurance company, demanded the appointment of Martin II. Glynn, a discarded newspaper man who was once connected with the Albany Times-Union as managing editor. Mc Call had thrown all the influence of his company for McKinley and con tributed such large sums to the Hanna corruption funds that his demand was instantly granted. Then he picked up that old fraud, Lindsay of Kentucky, who has persistently misrepresented the people of his state for years and was such a dead duck that he had less chance for re-election than Thurston had in Nebraska. It is . not claimed that any one of these dead ducks had any experience or ability to run a great show and make it a success. No more disgraceful performance by a president was ever known and has only been equalled by the men sent to govern "our new possessions." The St? Louis fair fellows are said to be in the dumps. To get a $5,00l0, 000 appropriation they agreed to let McKinley make the appointment of all the executive officers, upon whose abil ity the success of the fair wholly de pends. In making these appointments the idea of fitness never seems once to have entered his mind. He made them upon the political boss plan, picked up all the dead ducks and party workers who could not be elected to office by the vote of the people and gave them these $5,000 jobs. When the .business men of St. Louis look over these ap pointments they feel tired. The privilege of eating out of' a tin pail is not a very high ideal, but it seemed to satisfy the aspirations of very many thousands who voted the Hanna ticket. HAhlU'c toLUfnN National Law Single Tax Future Uncertainty Empire and Not Re public Russia and the Powers Ghost and Hobgoblins Maple Su gar. There are many customs and prac tices that are national and should be regulated by national law or prohibi ted. No state can establish slavery now, while it was optional with each state a few years ago. There is no na tional law against polygamy, dueling or prize-fighting; there should be. The same law for marriage and divorce should prevail in every state. There should be national law pertaining to corporations and trusts that are to do business all through the country. When we look over the city of Lin coln, count up the vacant lots, we are half inclined to think the single tax system, for city purposes, would be best. Tax a vacant lot the same you do the occupied lot by the side and there would not be so many vacant lots the city would not spread all over creation. If the city was more compact it would not cost near as much for paving, water, lights, police and fire. Then make a tax sale a com plete title after a year's redemption. A high tax on every improvement does not encourage improvements. Mark Hanna knows there is great uncertainty that the republicans will carry Nebraska two years from now, hence the great necessity of electing two republican senators now, no mat ter who, only that they carry the re publican brand. There is no use in denying it. D. E. Thompson is a bet ter Hanna-McKinley republican than any other one talked of. He did more to carry the state for McKinley than any other man living. He handled more money and if not elected now he will handle ten times as much two years from now. William I., president of the United States and emperor of all the Philip pines, together with Cuba and Porto Rico, is now snickering in his sleeve to think he possesses the power of pre venting the establishment of two more republics on the face of this earth. Then another source of great joy to the emperor is the certainty that two existing republics, in Africa, will be blotted out with human blood. He whispers to himself how much better are great empires than small republics for there are not great men enough to run so many republics. When the boxers first commenced their trouble in China the five great powers agreed, among themselves, that the missionaries and the several gov ernment legations must be protected at the same time it was agreed that the empire of China must remain in tact. The Japs and the Germans thought it best to cut up the territory and each government take a" slice. Russia, openly, agreed with the other powers, while at the same time she was secretly planning to take a large chunk of northeast China and annex it to Russia. It is stated that she has already completed a secret treaty with China to that effect. Russia wants this territory because it lets her down to the Yellow sea and gives five or six hundred miles frontage on the Japan sea. England does not want Russia to get that territory for it will be a source of great strength to her. The policy of empire is to get all you can and not let the others get any. The English and Russians came near hav ing a pitched battle only a few dajs ago on that same territory and now the Japs are talking of war with Rus sia. Thousands of Chinese families are settling along the new Russian railroad and that government invites them. They are not prohibited as in this country. It is really laughable to think how foolish and superstitious people were a few years ago. What . queer ideas they had of ghosts and witches. -They (POL "I snfffered she torture oft lie damned with protruding piles brought on by constipa tion with whloh I wits affilcted for twenty years.
