A BURNING SHAME
Secretary Root has made his official
report and from it is learned the sal
aries that are paid to carpetbag politi
cal officials in the Philippines.
The civilian governor of the islands,
Taft, is paid ?20,C00 a year. His asso
ciates receive ?15,CC0 a year. Other offi
cers cost as follows: . Secretary to
Philippine commission, $9,750; secre
tary to civil governor, $7,500; auditor,
$6,000; collector of customs and de
puty, $10,000; attorney general's office,
$13,000; solicitor general, $4,500; chief
justice of supreme court, $7,500; asso
ciate justices, $7,000 each; clerks su
preme court, $3,000; judges of courts
at Manila, $5,500; outside of Manila,
from $3,000 to $5,000 each.
The municipal- officers connected
with the. government of Manila cost
$68,800 annually.
When one reflects that thdse enorm
ous salaries are taxed out of a people
who earn only from five to twenty pe
sos a, month, an equivalent in our
money of from $2.50 to $10, and that
these taxes are raised by'the most ar
bitrary methods, without representa
tion, it i3 enough to make the blood
of any true American boil with indig
nation. Talk about" the British tax, on
tea, one' of the causes for which we
went to war with Great Britain! It
was a mere bagatelle compared with
this sort of thing. To expect a people
ever to become satisfied with a govern
ment like that and to cease insurrec
tions is fartuitcus.
These carpetbag political appointees
are receiving from twice to three times
the salary that, army officers serving
in the Philippines and performing ex
actly Jbe same service are allowed.
If there is any sense of. justice left in
the American people, there will be a
protest against that sort of tyranny in
the future that will make the men
who inaugurated and enforced it de
spised by all mankind. v
THE REASON'S WHY
There is a lively discussion going
on in York county in regard to the re
sult of the election. Now, gentlemen,
please listen to reason. The causes of
the republican victory were as follows:
1. The assassination of the presi
dent and the political use that the re
publican party made of that event.
.2. The idea that was so industrious
ly promulgated that the supreme court
and the university could not be non
partisan unfess there were some par
tisan republicans made judges and re
gents. 3. The queer notion that a great
many fusionists entertained that there
was nothing at stake in the election,
because both the supreme court and
the university would rentain under
fusion control although the republicans
elected their candidates.' So they did
not take the trouble to vote.
4. Judge Hollenbeck was nominated
because so many populists insisted
on voting for him from the opening of
the convention until it closed, and
among those were many of the old
wheel horses who helped organize the
populist party and have been active
workers in its ranks ever since.
STIR THEM UP
The Independent would like to in
duce some one to go down to Washing
ton armed with a three-tined fork, a
red-hot poker or some other instru
ment with which he could stir up the
democratic minority and make them
fight for democratic principles in a
way that would do some good. The
republican majority should be taunted
day after day with the fact that they
have coined more silver than was ever
coined before in the same length of
time and that the adoption of Bryan's
policy ha3 had the result that he said
it would have. They should read to
the republicans' extracts from the re
cent report of the comptroller of the
curency, in which Mr. Ridgely says:
Since the passage of the act of
March 14, 1900, the total circula
, tion which all the national banks
have outstanding has been in
creased from $254,026,230 to $359.
832,715, an increase of $105,806,485,
or over 41 per cent.
Then tell them to stop their boast
ing about the gold standard, for vin
stead of having established the gold
standard, they have gone into the wild
est scheme of paper ' inflation that the
world ever safw, and are about to in
troduce legislation that will add still
more to the inflation. Lefthe demo
crats make further extracts from the
comptroller's report and show "that
while the banks have about $5,000,
000,000 of debts t payable on demand,
they have only $388,536,871.13 in specie
with which to meet them. '
Hammer away oo the fact that the
republicans have totally abandoned
their old cry of "hard money" and
"specie payments", and have . adopted
a -paper, money, to be issued by banks.,
and'an inflation that beats John Law
and the wild-cat banks of the fifties
two to one. , s
Let them tell the republicans that
the coinage of silver and the issue of
money by the government instead of
by banks would have produced the
same. conditions of rising prices and
uuopcuy ha, - ' - i
would have been no afterclap to it such
as now ooms up as the darkest cloud
that ever . threatened tle business
world, for-this inflation cannot go on
forever. The "day of liquidation" will
surely come. In that day what will
the bankers do who owe ten dollars for
every, dollar of cash that they have in
their vaults? They will go into a
receiver's hands and the depositors
will not be able to get enough money
out of them to buy a decent suppew
Where will the holders of this inflated
trust stock be then? That day is sure
ly coming. . It draws nearer every
hour. Let the democrats tell these
egotistical republicans a few truths of
that sort -und hammer avay at them
fjrom now until congres closes.
Every man -who reads the bank
statements and comptroller's reports
knows that therVis a greater inflation

ent time than was ever recorded in all

NEW YORK TRIBUNE EOGIC
; If republicanism can only be defend
ed with such jugglery and sophism as
appears in the New York Tribune aiid
the great dailies of that party, then in
deed the cause must be one for which
the best trained intellects in the, land
can find no logical defense. When the
best writers that money can hire are
forced to such exigencies as to argue
after the following fashion,' the cause
is a hard one to defend. The Tribune
says: ' ' A , : v
According to "Dun's" index
number, the cost of living per
capita fell to $72.45 on July 1, 1897;
the lowest point ever touched. It
was the culminating point of the
country's gloomy experience under
low tariffs and the addition of
$262,000,000 to the national debt.
The thought : which that writer in-
over, $12,000,000 in a few weeks, was
not very far from the facts when he
told the , New Yorkers the other day
that Wall street was- a smoking vol
cano just ready for the greatest erup
tion that the world ever saw.
A QUEER KIND OF WEALTH
A new kind of wealth, a sort that
was never heard of before, is used to
make American millionaires.' A man
is said to be worth $10,000,000 today
and tomorrow,, while still being in
the possession of the'Same "things, hav
ing neither sold or bought anything,
he is declared to be worth only $5,
000..000. This kind of wealth that can
not be seen with the naked eye, dis
covered with a microscope, found by
chemical analysis or handled with the
hands, makes up a large part of the
"riches" of the trust magnates and
little millionaires who are now being
numbered by the thousand. Lawson
of Boston, the copper magnate, is one
of that sort. A little while ago he
was rated at $25,000,000. Now he
stands below the $10,000,000 mark.
His wealth consisted of part ownership
in copper mines, represented, by stocks.
He says he has not sold a share and
the mines are still there, but $10,000,000
of his wealth has disappeared. If i
search the earth with the trained eyes
of an Indian hunter, or sweep the
heavens with the Lick telescope, he
could not find a trace of that lost
$10,000,000. How it came into exist
ence in the first place or how it was
annihilated, 'is one of those things
that no pop can find out.
PARTISAN VrNMCTIVENESS
There never was a campaign fought
at a.ny time in such a disreputable
manner as the republicans fought thr;
campaigns of '1896 and- 1900. The bit
terness, malice and falsehoods of those
campaigns, in which nothing was held
dear that men had heretofore respect
ed, will- be recorded with wonder by
every future historian. .In Kansas,
legislation followed along the same
line as soon as the republicans were
in power legislation the most dis
graceful that ever blackened a statute
book. In that state a republican leg
islature passed a law that "no ticket
shall have a compound or hyphenated
name."
t
This killed the silver republican and
the social democrat parties. It changed
the people's party to peoples. It de
clared that candidates for office should
accept but one nomination. It pro
vided for three ballots, one for the
state, one for the township and one
for constitutional amendments. It
provided for printing hundreds of
words' on the ballots in the shape of
instructions hard to read and still
harder to .understand. There are sev
eral hundred other features about it
all of which are objectionable. To that
sort of work more vicious and crim
inal than any ballot law ever passed
by a southern state to prevent negro
voting and preserve a white man's
government the republican party of
Kansas devoted itself. As the enorm
ity of this crime against a free bal
lot becomes understood, the people of
Kansas begin to revolt against it.
The republican leaders of Nebrask?.
advocated the same sort of legisla
tion, but they were unable to get it
enacted into law. The republican pir
ty of Nebraska first refused to discuss
public questions with their, opponent:,
and then tried to get a ballot so as to
make it impossible for citizens to vo'f
their true sentiments. They succeed
ed in Kansas, but there is a hereafter
t3 it. 1
ASSOCIATED PRESS TRICKS
The Associated press has played two
of - its usual tricks on the people dur
ing the last week. None of the great
dailies have published any account of
the holding up of the confirmation of
the appointment of Knox as attorney
general in Roosevelt's cabinet, a thing
entirely unprecedented, the refusal to
confirm a member of Grant's cabinet
being because it .was discovered that
the appointee could not qualify under
the constitution. Another trick was
to alter the figures in the condensa
tion of the report-of the director of
the mint which was sent out In regard
to the amount of silver coined during
the last year. These things will all
be found in The Independent's Wash
ington correspondence of this week.
If any one wants to find out what Is
really transpiring at the "capital he
will have to read The Independent.
of the panic Was caused by the derao
cratic party, that that party created a
new debt of $262,000,000 and enacted a
low tariff which wrought ruin. - It is
not reasonable to suppose tha"t the
writer of that editorial did not know
that both assumptions were false. That
debt was created under the republican
administration of Harrison and the
x ......
plates for the bonds were ordered by
Foster and they, were made before Har
rison went out of office. The Gorman
tariff bill, to which reference is made,
was the highest protective measure
that ever passed congress up to tbat
time. - All these things were well
kiown to that writer, and yet the best,
that' he could do in defense of repub
licanism was to resort to such weak
ness as that. ,
That panic was inaugurated by Fos
ter when he ordered those treasury
notes redeemed in gold in Boston. It
was a preconcerted plan, for the man
had no particular use for the gold and
actually deposited it when he got it as
current funds in a bank. It was a step
in a well laid plan in collusion with
Cleveland, to draw all the gold out of
the treasury and create an excuse for
stopping the coinage of silver. In that
work thes leaders of the republican
party were the planners and leaders.
The exact result followed that the pop
ulists and Bryan democrats said would
follow. Prices declined in- just the
pl-oportion that the quantity of money
in circulation was diminished.
That writer also knew that these dis
tressing times continued until ' ther-e-publican
congress provided for'an ad
ditional increase of $400,000,000 in the
national debt and actually did increase
it by issuing $200,000,000 of bonds. He
knows that these hard times continued
and grew worse until the republicans
reversed their monetary policy adopt
ed that of B'ryan and the populistsand
began to increase the quantity of mon
ey by the coinage of an enormous
amount of silver and the inflation of
the paper currency by bank issues. As
soon as that was done, prices .began to
rise and adversity gave way to pros
perity.
As far as the tariff is concerned, a
very large.part of the republican party
is now demanding that it be revised,
and the republicans are preparing to
shift over to the Bryan and populist
policy on the tariff just as they did on
the money question.
-
The saddest thing about this sort of
writing the fact that highly educated
men will so stultify all the instincts
honesty and regard for truth, within
them, and for the salary that they get,
promulgate unvarnished falsehoods,
which they must know that all intelli
gent men know are falsehoods.1 A
$5,000 or $10,000 salary may be a de
sirable thing, but is it an equivalent
for a debasement of the moral nature
and the deception of the unlearned?
REPUBLICAN POPULISM
The Washington corespondent of
the Philadelphia North American is
authority for the statement that gov
ernment ownership of railroads and
telegraph lines is to be one of the lines
of republican policy in the compara
tively near future; that is to say'it.is
to be tentatively put in the first place
with a view of catching the popular in
dorsement and then the party proclam
ation of the new creed.
The statement shows the acuteness
of the republican political manage
ment. Populist principles are so
grounded in the interests of the, whole
people that they are bound to make
their way. The republicans brought
about prosperity by adopting in the
main the populist financial theories,
and now they propose to keep them
selves in power by adopting the public
ownership of railroads and telegraphs.
While doing it, they will so manage
as to make a few more billionaire-3.
If the government should propose to
take the railroads off the hands of the
trust magnates after they have wa
tered the stock three or four hundred
per cent, the 1 whole republican ma
chine will whoop it up for the govern
ment ownership of railroads. Mean
time the banks will also pile up their
millions by getting -double interest and
holding the business of the country in
the hollow of their hands by means
of their redeemable money scheme.
PHILIPPINE MONEY
The republicans have f6und them
selves in 'such a muddle in regard to
the money . system of the . Philippine
islands that they don't know which
way to turn, i They are worse off than
the old woman at sea in a tub. No mat
ter which f side they paddle on, they
oniys succeed in , turning round and
round. Silver is the money of the
Philippine islands. The republicans
have learned enough in the last six
years to know that their "sound mon
ey" theories, if an attempt were made
to apply them there, would produce
universal disaster. To establish the
"gold standard" and double the value
of money there, as they attempted to
do In this country, would produce a
bigger insurrection than Aguinaldo
was ever able to get up.
OMNIOUS SILENCE
The most touching appeal ever made
to the hearts of liberty-loving Aoeri
canst is the appeal of the Boer envoy
when he says: ,
All that we ask of, America is
that she remain neutral. Keep
your horses and mules at home.
Let us fight England alone. The
future of South Africa is not in
the hands of America or any other
country, but in the hands of God.
To that appeal the president gives
no answer in his message to congress.
To Kossuth, to the Greeks, there was
an instant response, by the president,
by congress and by the whole Amori-1-can
people. To this appeal of the
bravest people who ever fought for
home and native land, Roosevelt has
no word of reply. Will he refuse to
aid the British to conquer the Boers
by allowing them to obtain war ma
terial in this country? Will he? To
refuse he must violate a formal treaty
made with Great B'ritain and signed at
Washington, May 8, 1871, whereby a
strict neutrality was defined and
pledged by the United States govern
ment. That pledge of neutrality is
openly violated. The Boer envoy asks
nothing of the president except that
Via cViall onfnfPO li i rr V. n c- 4- lnm , - r
Nhe government of the United States.
But the president is silent. Has Hay
made a secret treaty with Great Britain
which forces this silence?
' CHICAGOANS CAN'T SPELL
Chicago is. all wrought up over the
fact that its inhabitants can't learn
how to spellr The other day there was
a meeting of educators to consider the
subject and it came very near ending
in a general riot. It seems that the
educators themselves could not'agrea
as to the correct spelling of the word
"spell" in its different conjugations.
Part of them said that it should be
"spelled," and-part of them that it
t
should be "spelt." Another denounced
the "word method," which he said was
educational idiocy, .it being a Ger
man method applicable to the German
language which was a phonetic lan
guage, but wnolly inapplicable to the
spelling of English. He might . hav.?
quoted a great educator who said that
there was but one word in the whole
English language that was spelled as
it was pronounced and that was the
personal pronoun "I."
Then there was a discussion of the
"visual method" of learning to spell
in which one of the disputants an
nounced, that there was at least one
editor-in-chief of a Chicago daily who
could not spell even the cordmonest
words correctly. So it seems that the
inability to learn to spell is character
istic of all Chicagoans. Tle way they
get out the dailies in Chicago, is to
import from, other cities proof-readers
who correct the spelling. One of the
disputants declared that the way these
imported proof-readers were able to
spell was by the "visual method." Af
ter a word was in type if it did not
have the right appearance to the eye,
they knew that something was wrong
with it.
The truth about the matter is that
the old way of learning to spell is the
best. Give the class a list of words
and 'then have them stand in line and
"spell each other down." However,
there is something in this" "visual
method" as every newspaper man
knows.

from Mark Hanna's committee in re

The dense ignorance of the popula
tion east of the Allegheny mountain
concerning everything connected with
political economy is an astonishment
to the people of the west. It is gen
erally referred to in the westfnot only
with surprise, but indignation. But
the men of the west should remember
that the great $5,000 a year editors
when, the question was up for decision
filled their columns with discussion of
the subject of "whiskers" instead of
articles on financial questions, and the
readers of their papers had no chancT
to acquire any knowledge upon' the
subject of political economy. .
Every few years all the world is
called upon to relieve the agonies of
the helpless victims of English bar
barity. A year or two ago it was the
starving hordes of India, reduced to
emaciation by the cruelties and enorm

ment. Now it is to feed the starving
women and children whom that gov
ernment has confined in military
camps where they die at a greater rate
than the Hindoos did in the most fear
ful days of famine, and plague. Will
the world always go on contributing to
lid the helpless and starving victims
of English cruelty?
