Hardy's Colamn
SfcKinley's Strikers Want Bryan
Moneys New Homestead Law, Mod
ern English Tactics t Which Are
Smartest vw Nebraska City Mayors
Our Crops w
Now come the McKinley strikers of
Pennsylvania asking the Bryan-workers
of the west to chip in and "help sup
port them while they live down the
administration they voted for.' They
are getting what they voted for and
who is to blame? The amount of wages
received does not seem to be the cause
of complaint. A man is no man who
complains of what he voted for him
self and a man who voted on the other
side is a fool to divide his earnings
with the strikers.
The new homestead law se?ms to re
quire the purchaser to settle on the
land at once. The law ought to have
been from the very start, thirty years
ago, a family on every quarter sec
tion or make it free for any one else
to settle on it and let that condition
continue for all time. Then the gov
ernment rent out the land for pasture
that is not fit for plowing.
The new English war tactics in
Africa seem to be to starve the women
and children and banish the men. to
some barren island for life. Then
when they settle down to hard work
and should happen to find another gold
or diamond mine the English would
claim the right to banish them again.
We can't help but smile when we
think of what our fathers did to the
Kngllsh back in 1776. O, that other
peoples could be equally fortunate.
It Is a little funny that southern
white men do not dare to try an even
race with the black men. They seem
to realize that the black men are
smarter than a majority of the whites,
so It will not do to give them the same
rights before the law for they will be
sure to come out ahead. There would
be "soil nd "sense to disfranchise every
man convicted of being drunk, or of
violating law in any way. The law that
nerves everybody alike seems just and
right.
Oats are a short cropland not very
good at that. Hay is an average crop
as near as we can make "out and the
price Is on "the top shelf. The late
rains will help the pasture. Look out
for a fall In the price of hay.
The mayor of Nebraska City has cut
a dog in two. There are many people
in that city who believe the state law
referring to Sunday saloons should be
enforced and that the city would be
benefitted by such enforcement. Ten
times more men get drunk on Sunday
than on any other day in the week.
Idleness, drunkenness and crime are
toon companions. The story goes that
the law enforcement league undertook
to do the work of the mayor, which of
fended his honor and us a counter
irritant he closed every business In
stitution in the city excepting the
streets for one Sunday. Now they
have a wide open city again. Of
course when a majority of the people
want mean things and vote for mean
men they ought to have them, but
they have no right to violate state
laws or national laws. There are new
necessities for Sunday labor. Many
people depend upon riding on the
streetcars to church, but there is no
new necessity for drinking whisky.
The doors of saloons,- gambling hell3
and brothels in Nebraska City will
hereafter swing wide open on Sunday.
It is now generally admitted that
Nebraska will have a half crop of
corn, this year, and three or four times
as many bushels of wheat as we had a
year or two years ago. If we could sell
half as much corn as we did last year
the farmers would get as much money
but the price of wheat 13 consumed by
the producer and does not help a bit.

Since writing the above we have
done a little personal inspection. On
riding by a field the other day we
could see no reason why it would not
go at least forty bushels to the acre.
We ' tied our horse and - went into the
field. On opening the plump looking
ears we found, most of them, 'nothing
but blank cobs, not a kernel of corn.
The hot weather must have killed the
tassel before it fructivated the kernel,
or else the silk dried up and failed to
perform Its office. '

Great Show to be Placed on Lcvtl With
Former Record Breaking Displays
At the state fair grounds the utmost
diligence is being , exercised by a big
gang of men in erecting buildings to
acommodate the unusual display ex
pected . at the fair , this year. . The
hundreds of letters that have burdened
the mail of Secretary R. W. Furnas
have brought communications telling
of thousands of entries. All this indi
cates that the fair of the present year
will be something to commemorate the
securing of new and permanent quart
ers. The board of agriculture has a
pride in making the best display pos
sible with the means at hand and this
year with fine new buildings for an
important part of the exhibit and re
novated structures for all other de
partments, the fair will be a wonder
ful, treat to visitors.
The new stock barns will be a nov
elty in fairs for this state. For years
the visitors have made the circuit of
tne long row of stalls but now the ani
mals will be housed in barns of the
most modern type for exhibition pur
poses. The cattle will be in an ac
cessible part of the grounds and the
display will be doubly interesting for
the ..conveniences to be provided the
sightseers.
The agricultural display will be of
unusual merit. Notwithstanding the
dry weather in many portions of the
state the managers have succeeded in
securing a display of fine corn and oth
er displays of agricultural products
will be secured that will .make one
think the stories of drouth were myths.
Greater, interest will be taken in the
industrial exhibits. As the fair will
be permanent now, the management
will pay particular attention to fur
nishing accommodations for a class
of exhibits that have not before ap
peared in Lincoln every year. In ma
chinery and the like the people oLthe
state will be treated to many novelties.
This year the grounds will be fur
nished with a. new water system and
fire protection will be afforded to all
the buildings. Every convenience that
an abundance of water can bring will
be furnished.
GOOD HORSES EXPECTED.
The size of the purses hung up by the
board for speed promises to bring a
very last ouncn ot horses to Lincoln.
Several Lincoln people who own fly
ers are out over the state campaign
ing just to see how fast their horses
are going to go at the coming fair, and
the work they are doing now is all
preliminary to that event. There have
been more good colts born during the
last four years than in previous years,
colts that show speed and bring good
money when the are sold.
CATTLE EXHIBIT.
A large and fine exhibit of cattle is
already assured. Entries are coming in
every day. Three exhibitors from New
York state have made entries. Mr.
Dinsmore, superintendent of this class,
says it will be the largest ever held
in Nebraska. The new barns are pal
aces as to what we have had in the
past, being light, roomy and cool. Sev
eral stockmen visited the grounds a
few days ago and in reply as to how
they liked the accommodations said
the new barns were far ahead of any
of our neighboring states and would
be an agreeable surprise to the stock
men.
HORTICULTURE HALL.
WTH1 loom up better than ever with
a large display of fruit. Mr. Young
ers of Geneva, Neb., who is in touch
with all the fruit-growers of the state,
says the horticulture hall will not be
large enough to hold the display. Will
have an exceptionally fine display of
peaches, plums, apples and grapes. The
floral exhibit, which is held in the
same building, will surpass anything
ever brought to the fair. The Horti
cultural society has had a man in the
field three weeks arranging for ex
hibits and is meeting with wonderful
success.
SWINE EXHIBIT.
The swine breeders who have seen
the new barns have expressed them
selves with being more than pleased
with the new accommodations, and
the present outlook for a large exhibit
is far ahead of last year at this time
MERCANTILE HALL.
'A new roof costing $900 has been
put on this building, which will in
sure the safe keeping of all valuable
merchandise. All the leading firms of
the city are falling over one another
getting space to exhibit. As a display
at the state fair is considered on of
the best advertisements that can be
had for the money it costs. The fol
lowing firms have commenced on their
plans for permane'nt locations fn ' the
building: Miller & Paine, Rudge &
Guenzel Co., Herpolsheimer Co., Mayer
Bros., Perkins & Sheldon, Mathews
Piano Co., and many others. The su
perintendent of the building says he
could fill a building double the size
of this, one.
MACHINERY AND VEHICLES.
The new ground mapped out for this
class meets with the approval - of all
exhibitors. They are located in the
jshape of a hollow square and gives all
an equal showing. Special attention
has been given by the board of man
agers to -tnis ciass, as tney rorrn a
.very large part of the show, and is al
ways interesting to all who visit the
fair.

FIGHTING THE TRUSTS
jL3
Morgan Think neon Has m Right to Corn-
bin bat the Millionaires and Is .
- Wrecking Whole Communities .
as an Object Lesson
Washington, D.T C, Aug. 10, 1901.
The steel trust proceeds to make its
quarrel with its workmen a matter of.
interest to all classes by doing things
which hurt everyone in the community
where the retaliatory act is com
mitted. ;' :
Only a few days ago the steel trust
Issued orders, to have, its plant as Mc-
Keesport dismantled. It gave as a rea
son the obstinacy of the workmen
rho presume to combine in order to
protect themselves from the aggres
sions of the trust. The trust evident
ly believes that combination or union
or whatever you choose to call the pro
cess is like the divine rightof kings
limited to the fe'w. It is very much
shocked and griev&fcthat combination
of any sort should , exist outside the
few men who combine to produce all
the steel and iron for the country and
sell it at their own -prices.
These letters - have before pointed
out the danger of a trust concentrat
ing production at certain favored
points and leaving behind it a trail of
ruined towns and starving workmen.
The steel trust is : trying now not
only to scare the citizens of McKees
port, but to give notice to other.thriv
ing manufacturing towns that a' like
fate awaits them if the workmen pre
sume to differ with, the trust about the
conditions of employment.
In slavery times . the master had the
slave flogged who found fault wim his
employment or did not do the required
amount of work. The trust simply
starves the free workmen. It is quite
as painful as the flogging, but does not
excite so much public indignation.
The trust gets very close to the peo
ple these days that is, it makes us all
feel its autocratic, power. The mer
chant is given notice.that his business
will be wrecked if lie presumes to sell
other than trust-made goods. One of
the managers of the tobacco trust
frankly admitted this practice in his
testimony before .the. industrial com
mission.
He did not take the trouble to de
fend the wrecking of individual busi
ness. He merely assumed that might
made right. Sh.ould.the consumers find
the prices of trust-made articles too
high or the quality' inferior and com
bine to make a protest they will find
the same starvation? and terrorizing
process awaiting them that is now be
ing tried on the workmen. That is why
the present struggle 'between the trust
and the workmen isdf interest to ev-ery-citizem
-w-sncw v !.
It foreshadows .the., general policy
of the steel trust and other combina
tions. They, intend to crush anybody
or any class who stand in "their way.
It is too early to formulate a general
political plan of action against the
trust not that it is too. early to be up
and doing in the matter of organiza
tion but the fact that the ; republican
party is in full National control -will
make any positive effort to check the
trust useless for some time to come.
Still much can be done by every re
former, in calling the attention of fel
low citizens to . the- menace of trust
domination and in. urging that all
should unite in defense against the
common enemy.
In this connection it may be well
to give a word of warning., certain
somewhat irresponsible parties in
Washington are advertising an am
bitious program for stamping out trust
and are soliciting subscriptions
throughout the country in order to re
tain attorneys to test the anti-trust
law in. various states. And even prom
ising to put the attorney-general on
the rack.
Now every citizen mus. be his own
judge of how he wants to spend his
money, but those who are really inter
ested in finding some means of suc
cessfully curbing trusts might do well
to investigate Utopian plans that call
for a cash contribution as the first
step. The anti-trust .cry will be worked
to gull the incredulous just because
there is a real, live issue which has
the same title. "
If state . laws are to be tested it
might be well tovput,the work. In the
hands of thoroughly responsible at
torneys of good reputation inthe state.
As to any work of "a national charac
ter, it shouldfbe well known that we
shall need additional legislation and
a new administration before anything
can be done in that direction. -The
present administration and all
its servants are pledged not only not
to oppose trusts, but to protect , them
from even the slightest annoyance.
They will do their duty by the trusts.
There need be no doubt of that."
A committee of -the anti-trust league
and knights, oi labor called on the. at
torney-general to,; request him to en
force the 1 Sherman anti-trust law
against the" steel trust, but they , were
informed that he was out.

without hesitation that the operatives
will fight to a finish, and that so far as
present indications go the 3d of Sep
tember will bring on one of the most
extensive strikes in the history of the
textile industry In New England.
Past experience with Associated
press dispatches whenever plutocracy
was affected has made The Indepen
dent careful about putting " faith in
them and they are the only source from
which information can be gathered.
Form all that can be learned the strike
situation at the time of going to press
was about this:
Lindsay & M'cCutcheon plant of Am
erican Steel Hoop company. The fires
are lighted and the management de
clares that the plant will soon be in
full operation. The strikers assert that
the works may continue to run with
a small force. The strikers' pickets
are keeping close watch on the mills
and say that but a few men are in
side. Crowds are about, but all is or
derly and most of those present seem
to be drawn there mainly through
curiosity.
Republic Iron works No effort is be
ing made to start the mill. While the
amalgamated pickets are on duty all
about, they say. they are practically
assured that no effort will be made to,
start under present circumstances.
There Is no excitement and the pick
ets, thirty or thirty-five in number, are
simply performing their assigned duty
of watching without having an expec
tation of having any one attempt to
enter the works in the mills.
Elba works. Strikers' pickets ' to
the number of twenty-five are oaduty,
on Second avenue .and the streets
around the Frankstown mills. One
watchman on duty for the company
says he knows nothing of any inten
tion to start and no men are expected
to go to work today. The fires in the
furnaces are banked. Only one police
man is in the vicinity and everything
is so quiet that but for the presence of
the pickets no one would suspect that
there Is a strike on.
Painter's mill. Fires were lighted
this morning, but no men appeared to
work. It -vras expected this plant
would try resumption. Everything is
quiet.
National Tube works. Work has
been much delayed by the striking of
250 boys in the butt-weld department
who quit at. midnight, but all the men
are at work. The lap-weld boys have
not quit, as expected, though they still
threaten to do so. They are now do
ing double work, having been redistri
buted through the works to perform
the tasks of the butt-weld boys as
well as their own.
Monongahela Steel work and fur
nace, McKeesport. No effort is being
made to start work. Fires are all
banked. Only watchman and a few
laborers are in the neighborhood keep
ing close watch for the men who might
appear to go to work.
Boston Rolling Mills, McKeesport.
No fires in furnace: no effort to start.
Boston Rolling Mills, McKeesport.
No men appeared to work. Fires are
banked. No chance of starting up this
morning.
Monessenj No effort to start the

Niles, O. The party of strike break
ers which was captured here left this
morning for Lisbon, accompanied by
five union-men. The strikers who are
acting as escorts are: Fred Harris,
Ed Jones, John Thomas, William
Thomas and John Trimble. The trip
is thirty-three miles across the coun
try and is being made in a closed road
wagon. The departure was witnessed
by a few strikers, officers of the law
and newspaper men.
Bellalre, O. An. attempt - will be
made this morning to resume work.-
Newcastle, Pa. No change in the
situation here. .
Youngstown, O Following the meet
ing of the organized furnace workers
today it is expected that, an effort will
be made to; extend the strike to. .the
tube works andphio plant.
Wheeling, W. Va. Riverside plate
and tube mills are effectively tied up.
The . report that the steel mill will
quit September 7 is confirmed. Ben
wood, it is claimed, will strike Sat
urday. ' " ' '
The workers in the steel trust mills
in Illinois have so far refused to strike.
