To trace all the bond and stock ar

be a long task. But Its new issues may
readily be compared In a brief table

Without extinguishing one dollar of

earning power, except by the prospect
of stifled competition, here is nearly
175.000.000 of capital Increase over a
total already doubtless very far be-
yond the actual value of plant and

The new company Is typical. To
what may t look for profits upon its
tremendcua nominal capital if no to
the operation of the protective tariff,
which reserves to It the world's best

Editor Independent: The lethargy
of the whole democratic press Is past
belief. If ever a party was pledged to
oppose a policy, the republicans were
bound to eppcre an expanding 'money
jrolume. During the campaign of '96
they had arjrued for low prices "No
fifty-cent collar. "Op-n th mills and
not the mints." "We have money
nougb." What we need is confl
rfnce.' etc.. etc. For twelve months
after "confidence was restored" they
pressed their avowed policy as planned
by Cleveland. Carlisle & Co. I re
member correctly that period saw
more failures and In far greater
amounts than any previous year In our
history. The democratic position of
Sl was vindicated and our papers saw
it then.
Then came the Indian fsmine with
ita high prices for farm products. It
brought relief directly to the farmer
and Indirectly to the working-men just
as we, during the campaign, had
shown. Here the democratic press be
gaa t weaken. It polntid out the
cause of the higher prices, but failed
to show how the rise was demolishing
the sr. o. p. contention that low prices
and dear money were deslrsble. It a!
lowed the republicans to detract at
tectlon from their still warm "fifty-
cent dollar" talk.
Once again: Under pretense of pro
viding revenue for the Spanish the re
publicans passed a bill for coining the
seignorage a complete backdown
from their poaitlon of "we have money
enough." Yet our papers had not one
word to say. That law Is In force yet.

uet as we In 1896 said they would be.
Why have not our papers awakened to
this change of front and vindication of
the bimetallic position?
Again, congress passed a banking
aw and pretended that it established J
the gold standard. It did nothing of
the kind. It was a bad bill and our
press condemned It, but why did it al
ow the act to carry false colors. Why
are the republicans allowed to "pre
tend" that we have the gold standard
when w have not?
The position of the democrats in '96
concerning a contracting vs. an ex
panding currency, have been borne out
n every point while the republicans
have been forced to abandon every po
sition they then assumed, except the
minor one of opposition to coinage on
private instead of public account. I
know of no other such change, such
reversal of policy on the -part, of a
party in power In all history. Cer
tainly never before has an opposition
press allowed such a vindication of its
position to paea unnoticed. One of
these days the republican press will be
pointing to per capita circulation at a
result" of prosperity. (They have
already been at It. Ed. Ind.) Would
we not much better be showing the
cause and effect In their proper rota
tion, before they try to reverse them?
pardon this long recital of familiar
facts and believe me an earnest friend.

FIVE CENT TELEGRAMS
Thyr Scat Btwn Cbtcg and Mil-
waake by th Wtra UtUi
Company
The enormity of telegraph charges
by tha great monopoly will finally per
colate into the brains of the business
and lalorirg world. It may take some
years yet to get the information there,
but finally it will be accomplished.. At
the present time an Independent com
pany is sending messages at European
rates between Chicago and Milwaukee
while the Western Union sends them
to favored patrons for five cents.
In answer to an inquiry whether the
Chicago St Milwaukee Telegraph com
pany's lines, which, have been used al
most exclusively for board of trade
business, were going to be open for a
general commercial business, the local
manager, M. P. Allls, said:
"We have been sending out a large
number of messages for bankers and
business men who oan be reached, for
delivery by telephone call, and we are
now going to extend this business by
advertising It. We will accept and
send any message at the rates quoted
which can be delivered by telephone
either in Chicago or Milwaukee. You
see nearly every business house is now
accessible by telephone. No arrange
ment has been made for the delivery of
messages In any other way than over
the telephone wires, but I suppose they
will be mailed to the persons for whom
they are intended later. We have been
delivering board of trade messages at
the same rate which we now offer to
people who are on the telephone sys
tems in either Chicago or Milwaukee.
"I don't think this move on the part
of the Chicago & Milwaukee will make
any difference with our arrangements.
said Ttf. W. Hambllh, the manager of
the Western Union company's offices in
Milwaukee. "We have been sending
board of trade messages at the rate of
five cents for 10 words and one cent
for each additional word, while our
regular 7 ate for commercial business
is 25 cents for 10 words and two ceuts
for each additional word. Of course, I
do not know what the Western UnJon
trill do; I cannot speak for the com-
fany."
II. J. Ramsey, the night manager of
the Postal . Telegraph company,, said
the Chicago & Milwaukee company
was confined to the two cities of Mil
waukee and Chicago for its business,
and that It did not amount to enough
to warrant the Postal company In tak
ing anv notice of this apparent cut in
the rates.
Bitty Ross and the Flag
Although the United States Is the
youngest of the great powers of the
world, the stars and stripes Is one of
the oldest flags how in use among the
nations. One hundred and twenty
three years ago the continental con
gress unanimously adopted the de
sign of Mrs. Betsy Ross of No. 289
Arch street, Philadelphia, wife of Col.
Roes of -the patriot army, as the na
tional emblem. It Is said that General

Washington himself Instructed Mrs.
Rose as to tha design. He suggested
that tha stars he six-pointed, -but the
lady held to It that five-pointed ones
-were the more artistic, and Washing
ton and his. committee adopted, her
suggestion. The flag was first dis
played by the continental troops, under-their
noble leader, at Cambridge,
although It was not until nearly two
years later that 'the continental con
gress formally, recognised its official
existence. Capt. John Paul Jones, that
intrepid sailor and commander, was
the' first to fling the stars and stripes
to the breeze from the masthead of a
vessel. -
The action of the continental con
gress was upheld In later years, when,
on April 4, 1817, It was enacted: ' That
on and after the 4th of July, 1818, the
flag of the United States be IS horizon
tal stripes, alternate red and white;
that tho nnlon be 20 stars, white in a
blue flel.. That on the admission of
every new slaty in the union, on star
be added t o the union "of the tl&x, and
that iuch addition shall take effect on
the 4th day of July then next rueceeri-
!cg sttch admission." .
Since that- time star after star has
been added to the union, until there
are now 45, forming a constellation
typical of the greatest nation In the
world. No other flag on earth has
such an unsullied 'record until -Within
the last two years. No other flag has
ever witnessed the victorious outcome

When congress was about to author-
is i the construction of the last batch of
war ships the editor of this paper
urged, as he had done on similar occa
sions before, that soma of the vessels
should be built In the navy yards. Con
gress refused to take this advice. The
secretary cf the navy opposed It on the
ground, which -the reports -of the offi
cers In charge disproved, that construc
tion in the navy yards was slower and
more expensive than construction by
contract.
Just now there Is a machinsts'
strike. The yards ih which the new
war ships are under way are engaged
in it. Work on the vessels has stopped.
The argument that ships, can be built
more quickly in private than in public
yards thus disappears at the start.
But v what about the penalties for
delay that are provided for in every
contract? Oh, that is all right. It is
stipulated in the contracts that no
penalties shall be imposed when the
delays are eaused by strikes. The ships
may lie on the stocks Indefinitely; Eu
ropean powers may. rush their naval
programs ahead, war may break out
and we may suffer disaster for the lack
of ships whose completion1 is overdue,
but we have no means of enforcing the
fulfillment of our contracts when the
contractors are engaged in conflicts
with striking workmen.
Let it be noted, too, that the govern
ment does not wait for-the delivery of
these ships before paying for them. 0
pays for them in installments as the
work goes on, so that it has millions of
money tied up in useless, halt-finished
hulls, not even earning interest.
: If soma of these ships were under
construction - !n the navy yards tha
work would proceed without a hitch.
The navy yard machinists have not
struck. Repairs are going on aa usual.
Bear this in mind when the next naval
appropriation bill comes 'up. Chicago

ers for possession of . the building it
was necessary, for Mr.- Armstrong to
find a new location. There was no
suitable - building available and he
found it best to have plans drawn and
a building constructed especially for
the clothing business. '- He will move
his. immense stock of clothing into
the new building early in July. He is
therefore making every effort to re
duce the stock to the minimum before
moving. Other clothing dealers an
nounced special salea for various al

have not been misled.- The crowd of

state. The fair grounds adjoin the
city on the north. . From the city of
Lincoln the grounds are reached both
by steam railway and electric car lines,
running every five minutes. -
The late legislature, appropriated
money to purchase fair grounds and
equip them with-all modern improve
ments. All live stock will be provided
for In new commodious barns.

A SERIOUS QUESTION
Will Caagrat RepaSiata taa DaeSrla ot
na TaiaMan Wltkoat Kcprataa-
tatioat. .
It is a fact that the administration
was thrown into consternation by the
decision of the supreme court. At least
four cabinet councils were held before
a course ot action was decided upon.
The first decision which was In effect
that Porto Rico became a part of the
United States and was subject to the
limitations and protection of the con
stitution until congress acted, left the
Philippines in a peculiar situation as
far as the administration was con
cerned. What to do they did not know.
The matter was left to Secretary Root,
and after spending over forty-eight
hours with a corps ot clerks and as
sistant attorneys to aid him, he re
ported back to the cabinet that he
gave it up and as far as he could see
there was no way out except an extra
session of congressl A further ad
journment was taken and the matter
was turned over to Attorney General
Knox. The report of Knox on the sub
ject is commented on by the New York
World as follows:
"There is another and perhaps
stronger reason than any given out at
Washington for the administration's
eager catch at the crafty Knox defiant
evasion of the Supreme court's . de
cision. "The question at issue is the tariff
wall between the Philippines and the
United States hall the republic deny
Its subjects even the privilege of tree
trade with their masters and tax them
without their consent?
"It will be remembered that when
this same question was asked as to
Porto Rico the republicans of the mid
dle west broke fnro open revolt
against the - administration's policy.
and the bill which Anally went
through made the tariff a temporary
provision for the pressing public ne
cessities of. the Porto Rlcana and pro
vided for. speedy free . trade, Whea
the Philippines, tariff comes before
congress the question will have! to bjs
settled squarely upon the merits of
its mirallty. Congress, will have to
say definitely whether or not. the re
public declares taxation without rep
resentation a part of its. permanent
policy. - I
"Even in this hour of contempt for
once reversed r principles of human
rights congress 'might hesitate frankly
to repudiate the principle for which,
as every schoolboy knows, the Amer
ican Revolution was fought.

longer this question is kept from con

What Will Grosvenor Do?
: It has been announced at Washing
ton that Secretary of the Interior
Hitchock, who' has developed a strong
interest in Irrigation, and ia preparing
a report to the president, endorsing a
system of irrigation, dams for the arid
lands of the west and recommending
legislation by congress along this line.
The western trip made by. the presi
dential party graphically demonstrated
to the members the great need of irri
gation dams, and showed the benefits
derived from the work t already ac
complished. It has been further inti
mated at Washington that in his forth
coming message to congress the presi
dent will recommend an appropriation
for the construction of storage reser
voirs in the arid west.
Secretary ' Hitchock is now prepar
ing a lengthy brief on the, subject of
irrigation legislation, and will, it is
stated, recommend an appropriation
for the Gila river dam in Arizona. He
is basing his report on the surveys and
recommendations of the geological sur
vey of his. department. .
Last winter, Grosvenor,and several
other republican statesmen, not hav
ing got a tip -from the White house,
ventured out on their ...own hook and.
made asses of themselves by denounc
ing and repudiating, the plank in the
republican platform' on irrigation. It
was the only time in the history of any
one of them when they .made a' move
without instructions from .headquart
ers and that was the exhibition that
they made. of themseTves. Now that
the administration is coming out
strongly in favor of the irrigation tJ
the arid lands, what will Grosvenor
do? Will he say that he never said it
or will he tell the truth and declare
that he spoke without a tip?
