BUY A STRATEGIST
Th thing needed by reform forces
more than all other things Is a politi
cal strategist. It la by political strategy
that the republicans have held power
for the last six years. Look at the
manner In which they have handled
the money question. The banker and
bond-hoM?rs having taken a notion
that they could scoop in millions by
tearing down our money system, the
republican strategists went in with
them, skinned them out of millions,
lead them around with a, string until
they scooped in all the offices and then
as soon as they got Into power adopted
the theories of the populists, began to
cola silver by the ton and issue paper
money by the ream. Before the fool
bankers knew what had hit them, the
money system that they had advocated
was substituted ty another and they
were launched on a sea of inflation
such as this country never saw before.
To keep the bankers quiet, every once
in a while they launch out with a de
nunciation of "the free silver lunacy,"
sfter having coined and put into cir
culation mere silver than was ever is
sued In the same length of tkne sirce
the government- was founded. That is,
thes strategists, after having won an
election cpon the cry that the coinage
of silver must be stopped, . went to
work to coin silver in unheard, of
amounts.
Why was this done? The strategists
knew that they could not hold the gov
ernment if hard times should come.
They knew that en increase of the cur
rency would produce good times and
they went zt it. While they Inflated
the currency, they kept up the cry of
"free silver lunacy" and the opposition
dlfn't have the sense to point out that
republicans bad gone to coiningIlver
and to this day not ore of them will
mention the fact. The democratic man
agement to meet this sort of strategy
has been about the kind that one
would expect from the animal chosen
to represent tneir party in the car
toons. Here was a chance to clear the
republicans out, horse, foot and dra
goons, but the stolid democratic man
agers could not see It. V
Suppose that during the last cam
paign, the great democratic dailies had
run a series of cartoons representing
the mints running night and day coin
ing silver, the old republican elephant
loaded down with bags of silver, with
mottoes about the "free silver lunacy"
of Mack and Mark, wouldn't' there
have been an uproar in the republican
camp. A republication of some of
their "sound money" articles compared
with their practice when they get into
power, a demonstration of how they
were forced to adopt the populist pol
icy to save themselves and prevent an
other pinlc worse than that of '33,
would have made a campaign that
would have had some spice in it. A
political strategist would have seen
that thin place in the republican line,
charged upon it, broken through, cap
tured the banners and guns of the en
emy and marched off the field of battle
In honor and triumph. But the old
democratic donkey would not bulge an
Inch from behind his breastworks.
A strategist would have made much
of the great output of gold. The car
toonists' would have represented the
stream of gold that was pouring out
of the smelters through the new scien
tific processes just Invented and raised
the cry of "a flood of gold" just as the
republicans did about a "flood of sil
ver." They could have scared the wits
out of the New England saving banks
depositors. But the donkey wore green
goggles and couldn't see an inca from
his nose. They could In opposition to
trusts have advocated the government
ownership of monopolies and gathered
In the wage-workers votes by pointing
out the slavery that was coming when
the trusts got hold of all the indus
tries. They could have denounced the
socialism of plutocracy and made the
hair turn gray on the middle classes
by a good use of that scare word.
But they didn't have any political
strategist and the republicans bad a
big supply of them. If they csn't get
one any other way, they had better
go Into the market and buy one.
A pure man. devoted to high ideals
like Bryan, was the sort for a candi
date, but back of him there ought to
have been a political strategist who
knew all the modern political tactics
and how to employ them.
HIRED EDITORS
Once in a great while the editor of a
plutocratic dally by some means gets
the courage to write a truthful sen
tence. Such a moment -came to the
editor of the Boston transcript and he
wrote:
"The astutest commercial and finan
cial minds of the world are today in
tent upon subverting the government
of the United States to their private
ends. The plan is to secure the en
actment and perpetuation of measures
calculated to enrich themselves at the
expense of the public.
That is Just what the populists have
been saying for the last ten years and
alt that time the Transcript has been
denouncing them as lunatics and
cranks. Such a thing as patriotism is
unknown in the commercial world.
Contractors, if they can make more
money, will as quickly feel I supplies to
the enemy as to the boys in bice. Cor
porations and trusts will engage in j
bribery, and when their purposes are :
accomplished boast of their shrewd-!
ness. . The legislation of the party In
power Is wholly under the control of
the commercial and financial minds of
communistic capitalists. ; The voters
who make this state of things possible
are as completely under the influence
of the power of partisan insanity as
ever any lunatic was by a delusion.
There is a man out at the Lincoln in
sane asylum, or was a short time ago,
who ' thoroughly believed that he was
working for that Institution at $2.50a
day. Every Saturday night he made
out his bill and forwarded it to the su
perintendent after which he was per
fectly satisfied. The man who votes
for Mark Hanna, syndicates, trusts
and corporations is suffering from a
delusion as much as the man at the
insane asylum. The editors who advo
cate such policies are not suffering
from such delusions. They know very
well what they are doing and they do
it for a salary. Editors of great dailies
are all hired men. They write such
stuff as they are told to write. They
are not lunatics. They t simply sell
their country upon the same principles
that Benedict Arnold did. The same
fate in history awaits them.
THE SOUJPHOUSEBEIGN
It is probable that at least $100,000,
000 of the new British loan will be
taken in this country. Shortly after
that the seniorage in the United States
treasury will be exhausted and the
coinage ' of silver will have to stop.
That amount of gold taken out of this
country and the stopping of the large
part of the supply for money will have
a disastrous effect upon prices. It is
things like that that makes Uncle Rus
sell Sage talk about a panic. Don't be
alarmed. A panic is not wanted just
at present and the republican strate
gists will get around it some way.
They know that they can't hold the
government if hard times set in. The
Independent would not be astonished
to see Mark and Mack out for free sil
ver in the next campaign. They have
been giving hints for some time that
they are going to be for free trade.
They can't squeeze .the banks next
time, but they will have a big pull on
the trusts. If the republicans came
out for free trade and free silver every
mullet head in Nebraska would shout
for them just as loud and long as they
ever shouted for the gold standard.
It was a sharp trick that they played
on Cleveland when they brought on a
panic and charged it all up to dem
ocracy. If there had been a republican
president in 1893 there would have
been no panic. The bankers of Wall
street would not have sent out orders
for all the little bankers to stop loan
ing money, just for an "object lesson"
as they called it. Cleveland was so
dense of mind and slow of perception
that it was no trouble for the republi
can strategists to bunco him and send
him and hi3 party into a minority for
decades to come. They got him to in
dulge in a policy that they have called
the "soup house reign" ever since.
When the seniorage is exhausted you
may rely on the republican strategists
to make some sort of an excuse for
keeping up the money supply. Itmay
be a proposition to buy silver" for
minor coinage. But they will do some
thing. The transference of $100,000,000
of gold to Europe and the stoppage of
the coinage of silver is a thing that
they know the effect of as well as any
body.
STREET CAR PROFITS v
During the year 1900, according to
the state railroad commissioner's re
port, 567,144,099 persons were carried
on the surface street cars of the Bronx
and Manhattan, 323,229,639 on the sur
face and "Li" roads of Brooklyn, and
184,164,110 on the Manhattan "L
roads. This makes the inconceivably
huge total of 1,074,537,848 five-cent
fares collected , from the people of
Greater New York last year. This
gives $53,726,892.40 as the total yearly
expenditure for car-fares within the
city limits, the great bulk of it by the
working people. Three-cent fares all
over the city would reduce that ex
penditure to $32,236,135.44. And -that
would leave in the pockets of the peo
ple, to bo saved or spent for other pur
poses, the magnificent yearly sum o
$21,490,756.96. And it must not be Over
looked that the number of car-fares
collected in Greater New York grows
much larger every year. There was an
increase of 113,000,000 i fares in 1900
over 1S99.
Some of the ninnies who edit repub
lican papers are congratulating the
farmers on the rise in the value of
their farming land and say that is one
of the blessings that McKinley has be
stowed upon them. The Independent
is willing to let McKinley-have all the
glory there Is in that thing. What
benefit is it to a farmer to have the
price of his land Increased from $25 to
$50 an acre? Can he raise any more
wheat or corn on it after the rise In
price than he did before? Does it
benefit the farmer to. have the taxation
on his farm doubled? If the farmer
wants to sell out, become a plutocrat
and live on the interest of his money,
a rise In price would benefit him, but
as long as he works his farm it only
increases his taxation,'
STABTXI3CO EVIDENCE
The Independent has been trying to
keep its readers informed concerning
the demoralization and degeneracy
hat has distinguished Washington for
the last four years. Some startling
evidence in regard to that matter is
given by the eminent scholar historian
and traveller, Poultney Bigelow, who
has recently given a course of lectures
at Yale and Harvard. He says that
commercialism runs riot In the Unit
ed States.' The Yankees are coining
their Ideas and energy into money and
the trust builders are doing the rest.
These money kings must ' necessarily
exercise a blighting influence on the
morals of public servants. They create
all manner of temptations and breed
all manner of jobbery. -
In Washington I found a cynical
contempt for the constitution. Corrup
tion stalks through the government de
partments. It disgraces the halls of
congress. Congress itself is little more
than a brokerage shop for the sale of
authority to fleece the people. The leg-
slators, department officials and petty
public servants of all kinds neglect no
opportunity of turning their official
prerogatives to profit.
I learned many specific instances of
flagrant jobbery, especially in connec
tion with the Philippine wan Thou
sands of officials, who owe it stealings
ranging from very small,. to very large
amounts, do not want the struggle to
come to an end. They would much
prefer toee it indefinitely prolonged.
America needs a thorough arousing
of the public conscience. ; It needs, to
deliver it from the slavery of capital
ism, such men and women as delivered
t trom slavery of Human beings. In
other words, it needs an epidemic of
cranks cranks like Wiliiam Lloyd
Garrison cranks such as England had
n Richard Cobden and John Bright."
ENGLISH DISTRESS
The deficit in the British revenues
for the last year was $266,535,000. The
estimated deficit for the next year is
even greater," all caused by Chamber-
ain's imperial policy and wars of con
quest. A loan ol $300,000,000 will be
floated besides an increase in the in
come and many other taxes. The chan
cellor has resorted td both export and
mport duties. One thing that startled
parliament was the declaration of the
chancellor that the Boer war "had
brought the country to the verge of
ruin," and he added. that "the war has
cost $755,000,000, double the cost of the
Crimean war. There was $335,000,000
of the unfunded debt redeemable with
in the next ten years.v I have tried to
put before the house a true account of
our finances f or the-present and imme
diate future. In our time no chan-
cellor of the exchequer has had so diffi
cult a task." -v
When some of the Englishmen who
tore their hair and voted the. republi
can ticket, because The Independent
warned the English people of the dis
aster that were sure to follow the jin
go policy, read these statements, it is
hoped that they will spend a few mo
ments In serious reflection. The an
nouncement that the pressure was so
great that the sinking fund would
have to be suspended, was equivalent
to a declaration that the empire was
about ready" to go into the hands of a
receiver. It is a Ions step toward re
pudiation and must seriously effect the
price of English securities.' The views
so frequently expressed by Chancellor
Andrews will now have additional ad
herents. "
GOLD AND GLORY
The, statisticians announce that one-
fourth of the German workingmen are
idle and about the same number in
England. If the men in the army in
South Africa are to be accounted idle,
and they are worse than idle, for they
are engaged in the destruction of
wealth, the percentage of idle men is
very much greater. It does not take
much of a philosopher to : tell what
that means. The destruction of wealth
by immense armies and one-fourth of
the men at home idle means a decade
or two of poverty such as the world
has not witnessed In a long time. This
craze for gold and glory will bring its
own punishment. The thing to be re
gretted is that the innocent will have
to suffer along with the guilty. A Ber
lin dispatch announces the discharge
of 5,000 employes of the great Krupp
iron and steel works, making 9,000 dis
charged since October last. And -the
Berliner Tageblatt says "one-fourth of
all the working people of Germany are
either idle or insufficiently employed
PRACTICING ECONOMY
The Industrial commission has had
Chas. R. Flint, the great trust pro
moter and trust defender, before them
His receipt for forming a trust is as
follows: '
"In forming a trust take of cash the
smallest possible amount; of preferred
stock use the full value of the concerns
purchased; dilute this amount by the
addition of common stock to the
amount of the preferred or more; stir
well and place on the market."
A trust Is simply a scheme to water
stocks. The idea of economy never en
ters the head of a trust promoter. That
is left to the fool plutocratic editors
After the stock is watered five or six
hundred per cent, the next effort is to
squeeze enough out of the consumer to
pay interest on the water. In that way
capital can be made to earn fifteen or
twenty per cent instead of five to ten
as in the old days. That is what the
plutocratic editors declare is reducing
the cost of production and practicing
economy. , . ,
MORE SCIENTIFIC POPULISM
The annual meeting of the American
Social Science association was held in
Washington last week. Like all the
scientific associations which have held
meetings lately, it took distinctively
populistic ground. It was presided
over by F. B. Sanborn of Concord,
Mass., who also made the principal ad
dress. He said:
"The pressing danger in this nation,
both social and political, "comes from
the accumulation of enormous wealth
in a few hands) whether individual or
corporate, and the uncontrolled oppor
tunity given to make these accumula
tions still greater and to use them for
the control of legislation and political
administration."
The scientists are slow, but they get
there after a while: In social science
and political economy, populism still
eads the world. t
Among the other distinctions of
the redeemers legislature is that.it
was the most illiterate lot of men that
ever assembled at the capital. The
transferring of the laws they made to
book form and the printed page shows
that much of the language of the bills
s iingrammatical and the spelling al
most beyond the hope of redemption
by the most accomplished "redeemer."
There is continuous conflict between
those in charge of the printing and the
type-setters. Even the most ordinary
typo does not like to set up such words
as "judgement" and "maintane" with
out correcting the spelling, but there is
no authority vested in any one to
change the laws in the slightest from
what appears in the enrolled bills. If
printed as passed, the session laws of
the redeemers legislature will be . a
spectacle for mankind and monkeys.
Hurrah for the Nebraska mullet head I
He has made his mark in history.
During the wars of . Napoleon when
England was spending money by the
millions, the wage-workers and farm
ers of that country were prosperous be
yond all precedent. But from 1815 to
1825 wages fell so that the means of
purchasing-enough to support life was
in very many thousands of cases en
tirely lacking. In writing of that time
the historian says: "Men died of hun-
er after eating wild herbs. Mechan
ics were working twelve hours for,
three pence a day." The same condi
tions toward the making of temporary
prosperity in England and America
exist today and when the conditions
change to those that followed the Na
poleonic wars the same results will
follow. There are certain economic
laws that all power of unchecked im
perialism cannot overthrow. They
work with the certainty of fate.
While the republicans never cease to
denounce fusion, they always avail
themselves cf it whenever it will work
for. their advantage. That was a fu
sion of republican and gold democrat
votes In St. Louis that resulted in the
election of Rolla Wells. A little over
25,000 republican votes, were cast for
Wells, and with that aid he ran 17,000
behind the vote cast for Bryan at the
last national election. Cleveland, Hill
and the republicans do a great deal of
bragging over the election of Wells,
but The Independent cannot see that
there is any cause for it. He was
elected because of a multiplicity of
candidates and because a few rich men
republicans and gold democrats
had formed a pool to get the handling
of the $16,000,000 , that had been ap
propriated by congress, the state of
Missouri, and the city for the St. Louis
fair.
The republican rural roosters who
edit no not edit print the weekly
Mark Hanna papers consider that they
get off a cutting and sarcastic para
graph when they say that the pops are
all the time complaining about the re
publicans buying populistic votes. The
pops never said any such thing. They
said that Mark Hanna stuffed the bal
lot boxes with 20,000 illegal -votes at
the last election, but he brought his
own hirelings into this state on free
railroad passes to do it. The fusion
forces polled as many votes as they
ever did, although seven or eight coun
ties in the state where they had al
ways polled a heavy vote were nearly
depopulated on account of three years
of drouth. The republicans did not buy
any populist votes for there -were no
populist votes for sale.
The fool Nebraska legislature left all
the important legislation practically at
the mercy of the governor, by passing
the bills and then adjourning, before
they could act on governor's vetoes
No more dangerous thing was ever
done. If a fool governor should, under
such conditions, veto the necessary
bills for carrying on the government
and then refuse to call a special ses
slon, he could throw the state Into an
archy for two years. , When the veto
power was given to the governor it
was never contemplated that the leg
islature should adjourn and leave the
state at the mercy of one man. There
is ono, consolation. Nebraska will not
be burdened with a republican gov
ernor again for a very long time.
The mugwumps have had much to
say of late about the inefficiency of
our consular service and declared that
we must create a system that will pro
duce life tenure of office or: we never
could compete with the monarchies of
the old world. Foreigners who have
felt the effect of the work of our con
suls have an altogether different idea
of the efficiency of our consuls. The
Hamburger Fremdenblatt; in an article
on the competition of the United Stat
es has covered Europe with a ' net
work of consulates and makes its con
suls inspectors of our exports and vigi
lant sentinels who spy out every trade
opening and promptly report it." Gould
a better testimony of their efficiency
be given? Standing armies and life
tenure of office are the essentials of
plutocracy.
The financial journals of Europe are
pointing out how Wall street fooled
them in 1893. They say at having
refused to loan money In the United
States for political effect,, it necessarily
destroyed in a great measure the value
of American securities held by foreign
ers and the bankers took the money
which they refused to lend at, home
and bought the said securities far be
low their real value, that In fact they
skinned the American producer and
the foreign holders of American se
curities both at tne same time. In
fact, skinned both going and coming.
The Independent acknowledges that
that is a pretty correct diagnosis, but
wonders that it took the foreigners so
long to find It out. v
Senator Piatt declared in a recent
interview that the United States was
pledged to see that a republican form
of government was established in Cu
ba. He did not refer to the time or
place when that pledge was made, but
that will make no difference to ' the
average republican. He will believe
it all the same. The only declaration
that is of record is "that Cuba is, and
of right ought to be free and indepen
dent," and the solemn pledge made by
congress and the president that as
soon as the island was pacified that the
United States would withdraw, all of
which means that the kind of govern
ment to be established in Cuba is their
business and not ours.
It is now said that the emperor will
issue an ukase on Julyt 1, declaring free
trade with 'Porto Rico. ... Several sur
mises have been indulged in in regard
to the change resolved upon by the
White house dictator. One is that
there is likely to be some change made
by the coming decision of the supreme
court. Another is that the awful con
dition of the starving people in that
Island cannot much longer be kept
from the knowledge of the people. Mat
ters constantly grow worse there from
day to day. The destruction of their
trade with Spain and Cuba and the im
posts imposed upon their commerce
by the United States has paralyzed in
dustry.
The American protective league is
preparing for the coming fight lon'g
beforehand as its custom has been for
the last thirty years, it has prepared
1,695 cartoons in the interest of pro
tection which will be sent free to any
paper that will use them. The best ar
tistic talent has been employed in their
production and as works of art they
are really first class. The league Is
getting frightened at the anti-protec
tion sentiment that is exhibited in var
ious quarters. The Independent has
secured copies of all these cartoons
which it will be pleased to show to any
inquiring individual who wishes to see
them.
Every week for a month or two a
national bank' has failed because the
officers have stolen the funds andgam
bled them away on the board of trade.
Last week two of them had sense
enough left to blow their brains out
after they had been found out. It is
passing strange that these McKinley
bank examiners can never find out that
there Is anything wrong with a bank
until It is too late to save the deposi
tor's money. Perhaps they would do
better if they only had life appoint
ments and pensions for their widows
after they were dead.. That is the
mugwump remedy for all the evils of
this plutocratic reign.
Russia cannot blame the majority of
people from believing that when she
says that she will get out of Manchuria
as soon as "a stable government" Is
established that she really means that
she will get but when England leaves
Egypt and McKinley evacuates Cuba.
Possession was undertaken in all these
cases under the same promise.
A republican court has knocked the
referendum clear out In South Dakota.
The Sioux Falls Press remarks:
"Just how the people can secure di
rect legislation is difficult to see,' as it
is within the power of the - supreme
court to destroy the constitution at
pleasure." , 1 ,
