'Every little noise would startle me and
set my nerves to trembling from head to
foot I got very little sleep at night and
I could scarcely eat the lightest food with
out having awful pains in my stomach. I
took no end of medicine, but nothing
helped me, ' and when I began with Dr.
Miles Nervine I had no faith in it. It
helped me right away, and when I had
taken seven bottles I was cured."
Mrs. A. K. Johnson Northfield, Vt,
or fullness after
dicated In favoi of congress. Forms
of government In the territories will
not be fixed. They will vary with the
cbansdnr. moods of congress. The
constitution says: "The United States
shall guarantee to every state In the
union a republican form of govern
ment." but if John Marshall's defini
tion of the name "United States" Is no
lonser to Include the territories, then
under one of these decisions, territories
may be forced to endure any kind of
forernmeftt congress may set up in
them, if Imperialism irmkes as great
stride In the next few years as it has
in the past, it will not be at all out of
the order of things for congress to be
setting up little kings and establishing
orders of nobility therein.
Tart of the reasoning In the major
ity opinion can be Justly described by
no other word than demagogism. The
attempt to connect the District of Co
lumbia and the territories as subject
to the same kind of government is one
instance. There is a section in the con
stitution Itself which provides that in
the ten miles square constituting the
District of Columbia "congress shall
exercise exclusive legislation In all
case whatsoever." but there is noth
ing In the constitution granting such
power over the territories. Another
is the great stress laid upon Chief
Justice Marshall's expression, "the
American empire." But when it is as
certained what the chief justice really
said It will be discovered that these
recent decisions are directly against
the contention of that eminent jurist.
In Loughborough vs. Blake, 5 Whea
ton, 31S. which was an action In tres
pass to try the right of congress to im
pose a direct tax upori the District of
Columbia. Chief Justice Marshall said:
"The th section of the 1st article gives
to congress the 'power to lay and col
lect taxes, duties. Imposts and excises'
lor the purposes thereinafter men
tioned. This grant Is gereral, without
limitation as to place. It, consequently,
extends to all places over which the
government extends. If this could be
doubted, the doubt Is removed by the
subsequent words which modify the
grant. These words are, 'but all du
ties. Imposts and excises shall be uni
form throughout the United States.'
It will not be contended that the modi
fication of the power extends to places
to which the power Itself does not ex
tend. The power, then, to lay and col
lect duties, Imposts and excises may
be exercised, and must be exercised,
throughout the United States. Does
this term designate the whole, or any
particular portldn'of the American em
pire? Certainly, this question can ad
mit of but one answer. It is the name
given to our great republic, which Is
composed of states and territories.
The District of Columbia, or the terri
tory west of the Missouri, Is not less
within the United States, than Mary
land or Pennsylvania; and It is not less
necessary, on the principles of our
constitution, that uniformity In the
Imposition of imposts, duties and ex
cise should be observed in the one,
than In the other."
This opinion was written In 1820, and
ha never been over-ruled, except by
Implication In the present cases. The
chief Justice' use of the term "em
pire" wa broader than the limited one
which means, "the dominion of an em
peror," and be doubtlesa Intended to
convey the Idea of the supreme power
of the United States and its vastness
in territorial extent, "our great repub
lic, which is composed of states and
territories." He wa opposed to the
idea of a multiplicity of "empires"
banded together for a very few pur
poses, but it Is plain that he consid
ered that the uniformity clause regard
ing duties applied to all the states and
territories. His "empire" and Justice
lirowu's "empire" are two very differ
ent things. The former is republican
ism; the latter, imperialism.
The United States supreme court's
decisions In the De Lima and Downes
cases taken together may be regarded
as an unqualified victory for the Im
perialists. In the former the court
held that Porto Rico ceased to be a
foreign state upon the ratification of
the treaty with Spain, and consequent
ly, the Dingley tariff law, providing a
tariff of duties on imports from foreign
countries, uid not, after the ratifica
tion of the treaty, apply to Porto Rico.
Accordingly duties on imports from
Porto Rico, collected In conformity
with the Dingley law, were Illegally
collected. And this decision gave rise
to the erroneous impression at first
that the administration had been
worsted. As a matter of fact, however,
the decisions, although rendered by a
divided court, are In force and the re
sult must be regarded a a victory for
the Imperialists.
In the one Case It is squarely held
that "the island of Porto Rico Is a
territory appurtenant and belonging to
the United States within the revenue
clause of the constitution," and In the
other that the Foraker act made the
duties constitutional.
Taking these cases up one by one, It
would seem (1) That a citizen of Porto
Rico could not bring an action in fed
eral court against a citizen of Ne
braska, and vice versa, (2) That a cl-
tizen of Porto Rico could not question
the validity of a local law, such as, for
example, being repugnant to the fed
eral constitution, by prosecuting a writ
of error to the United States courts.
(3) That the ownership, disposition
and inheritance of property by a citi
zen of Porto Rico must be determined
according to the laws of the United
States. (4) That a citizen of Porto
Rico has no right of appeal from the
decision of his local court, for any rea
son whatever, to the supreme court of
the United States. (5) That a citizen
of Porto Rico has no right to demand
a trial by jury, but may be tried other
wise. (6) That it requires a formal act
of congress to extend the constitution
to acquired territory.
If these points do not indicate im
perialism, then The Independent does
not understand the meaning of that
word.'
These decisions have made the ques
tion more a political question than
ever before. The government of the
newly acquired territories is not to be
settled by the courts and the constitu
tion, but must be fought out on the
hustings. The court could have taken
the whole matter out of politics, but
is has thrust it into the political arena
to be fought out there. For years to
come the government of the territories
will be contended over to the exclu
sion of the more vital questions affect
ing the inhabitants of that scope of
country lying between the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans, not all of which Is in
the United States, as we have always
believed, because part of it is subject
to the unlimited control of congress
and is called territories. Those who
live there are men without a country
and without constitutional rights.
Arizona now ranks alongside of the
Sulu islands. What fools the Mormons
were to seek admission as a state. If
they had only remained as a territory,
McKinley might have given the Mor
mon elders salaries like he does the
Sulu chiefs and allowed them to have
as many wives as they wanted. All he
would have had to do would have been
to give a wink to a subservient con
gress and no court could have inter
fered. One of the planks in all the next
platforms will be devoted to what kind
of a government shall there be in the
Philippines and Porto Rico. Congress
has had a good deal of legislating to
do in the past. It will have ten times
as much in the future.

CAPITAL'S CHAIN GANG
ThU tivir Dance of Capitalism Fright
ens the Magnates Who get It In
Motion
Professor Albion W. Small, the head
professor of sociology In the Univer
sity of Chicago, cannot be suspected of
reckless enmity toward capitalists, but
he has testified that the tendencies of
the time are ominous, "In this age of
so-called democracy," he says, "we
are getting to be the thralls of the
most relentless system of economic
oligarchy that history has thus far re
corded. That capital from which most
of us directly or Indirectly get our
bread and butter Is becoming the most
undemocratic, atheistic, and Inhuman
of all the heathen divinities." Profes
sor Small goes on: T am not thrust
ing the dust of" ttty library In youf
faces; but if you heed the symptoms
from bank and office, factory and rail
road headquarters, and dally press,
you have discovered that the very men
who have made these combinations are
beginning to be frightened . at their
shadows. These very business men,
who claim a monopoly of practical
'horse sense, have involved themselves
and all of us in a grim tragedy. They
are asking in a quiet way how it is all
going to end. Whether they realize it
or not, bur vision of freedsm Is passing
Into the eclipse of universal corpor
ate compulsion In the interest of capi
tal. The march Of human progress IS
getting reduced In marking time In
the lock-step of capital's chain-gang.
It would make infinitely more for hu
man weal if eVery dollar of wealth was
cleaned off the earth. If, we could have
instead of it, industry and homes, and
justice and love and faith, than to be
led much further into the devil's dance
of capitalization
I do not quote Professor Small's
words to indorse them all for I am
trying to speak in a manner somewhat
lesa heated; but I Am sure that he is"
not astray in his prediction that those
who are pushing these schemes of in
flation are Involving "themselves and
the fest of us in a grim tragedy." That
many of them have no conception of
the probable consequences of theif
conduct, I freely admit. But there is
slendef comfort, after thj disaster, in
being able to say that you "didn't
know that it was loaded."
There is one Class Of capitalistic ag
gregation, based on monopoly against
which popular indignation is likely to
be kindled even sooner than against
the so-called trusts. 1 refer to those
which are founded on municipal fran
chises. Most of the companies owning
these franchises have issued capital
far In excess of their actual invest
ment, have disposed of the stock thus
issued, and are charging enough for
the service rendered 'the public to pay
the dividends on all this watered stock.
If they were content with a fair re
turn on what the plant has actually
Cost them, the price of the service
could be greatly reduced. A fair return
on their actual investment nobody
grudges them, but the privilege of tak
ing the community to pay dividends on
two or three times as much money a3
they have invested Is going to be
questioned cine 6f these days. When
the reckoning day comes to our mon
opolies, some sharp inquisition may be
made into the fundamental equities of
many of these institutions. It is prob
able that seme new legal maxims will
be framed and enforced, and that our
jurisprudence will be enlarged and in
vigorated by a new application Of ethi
cal principles. Whether corporations
ih any sense private will long be per
mitted to manage public utilities may
be doubted; but if they do, they Will
certainly be required to govern theif
conduct by a strict regard for the pub
lic welfare. - -
The principles which should rule In
this department of out social life are
perfectly clear; if: our lawmakers and
our City authorities and our judges
would t eCognize and enforce them, we
might hope to solve these problems
peacefully. But here, more recklessly
and rapaciously than anywhere else,
capitalistic and corporate greed Is
seeking to f&sten its grasp Upon grat
privileges and to secure legal power to

Imperialism Makes Desert of a fraltfu

. Plains Remain
The population of Ireland by the re
Cent British cehsus Was announced
yesterday in London As 4,456,546, be
ing a decrease since the previous cen
sus of 5.3 per cent. This represents a
continued performance with little
abatement from previous decades, of
one of the most moving tragedies of
history.
In the year 1801 the British census
found 5,395,456 persons in Ireland. The
population Increased steadily up to
1841, when it reached the figures of 8,
175,124, spread over the Island, with a
density of no more than 251 persons
to the square mlle--much below the
present density of population In Mas
sachusetts. In the decade from 1841
to 1851 came the great Irish famine,
and since then progress toward soli
tude and the peace to the empire
which it alone will apparently bring,
has been as follows:

During the entire period of sixty
years this unhappy country has lost
all that Would have been gained by
natural increase and nearly 50 per

as if all the children born since 1841,
among a hardy and prolific race, had
emigrated and half of those then liv
ing had died.
These are the conditions of a living
death. The normal and healthful
state of human existence Is to be
found only where population is either
multiplying or being strongly main
