bEMOLIIHI.VG yOPCLISM
Many of the great platocratic dailies
and magazine writers begin to realize
that the next great - contest in the
United States will be over the public
ownership of monopolies and are be
ginning a fight on that subject. 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.

TRY SOME OTHER PLAN.
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.

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.
