OVERPRODUOTSOH
Editors of the Dailies Have it ooihe 1'rain
What Caused the Great Distress
in Germany
Editor Independent: . The editors cf
the great dailies generally' make a
great mess of discussing any jjuestiou
of farm economics in their editorial
columns. B'elow I quote a part of an
editorial which was" in the Nebraska
State Journal about a week ago:
"Some political economists are wont
to ' scoff at the word 'overproduction'
and declare that it is absolutely mean
ingless. That it isn't overproduction,
that troubles the business world, but
'underconsumption,' and undercon
sumption is caused by the unequal dis
tribution T;;3 gains if indus: i y Mid
trade whereby people are not able to
buy for consumption all that they
ought to consume.
"But this is an ingenious fiction. Tf
all the land in the Mississippi valley
w.:i3 sown to L-ucKwiiea: tnere would
evidently be an overproduction of
buckwheat, and the community would
suffer from the scarcity of the other
things that would have been produced
if the insane passion for sowing buck
wheat had not obsessed the farmers.
"So there is no sort of doubt at this
time that there has been' an overpro
duction of sugar in central Europe and
that in consequence business in Ger
many is likely to be paralyzed for a
time because of the falling off in the
price of sugar.
"In this eountry we were financially
sw-amped at oneperiod by an over
production of railroads. An overpro
duction of cotton seemed imminent
for some time, but the opening of nevv
markets in the orient appears to have
relieved the situation for the present.
And we have had really too much
wheat or corn on the market some
years, b'ut the demands are now in
creasing, with the supply and perhaps
the danger is past."
The trouble is that the average edi
tor of the daily papers has the habit
of calling too many things overpro
duction that they do not know when
they come across a real case of over
production. The editorial above was
written to show that there was a real
case of overproduction of sugar in
central Europe and especially in Ger
many. If such were the case, it would
practically mean that there was over
production of sugar in the world as
sugar could be shipped very cheaply
from Germany to any part of the
world. Now-let us see if thre was
tny such a thing as overproduction of
sugar in the world' during the .fiscal
year ending June 30, 1901. In order
that the editor of the State Journal
may see that it takes more than one
swallow to make a summer and more
than one carelessly written editorial
to prove' that there was during 1901, or
is now, overproduction of sugar in the
world or that the falling prices of su
gar in Germany was caused by over
production of sugar in the wrorld or
anything like overproduction of su
gar anywhere in the world, I place two
tables below, one showing the imports
of sugar from Germany during a num
ber of the years since the early sev
enties and the other showing the im
ports of sugar from Cuba for a num
ber of the years since 1S73.
If the .editor of the Journal will
carefully study those tables and the
explanations and statements that fol
lows them, it will be a long time be
fore he writes another editorial stat
ing that it was the overproduction of
sugar in Germany or inthe world that
furnished the force to press down the
import price of the German sugar
from five and thrce-tenths cents (.053)
in 1S73 to ' two and two-tenths cents
(.022) per pound in 1901, as shown by
the table.

was a most pitiable one, nightly emissions so
draining and his constitution was weakened to
each a degree that it was impossible for him to
perform bis duties. He spent hundreds of dol
lars for remedies and to socialists, but could
not regain his vitality or chebk the awful nightly
emissions. One day a brother lodge member
called his attention to a remedy, in fact, im
plored Mr. Harter to take the remedy for his
affliction; he did so, and in one month's time
was entirely cured, his constitution rejuvinated
and his vitality regained. Today he is a man
in every sense which that word would imp y.
Mr. Harter is not what one would call an im
mensely rich man, but his gratitude for this
marvelous remedy is so great that he says he-intends
making hi3 life's labor that of pnttiusi
this remedy hi the hands.of all those afflicted

there is located S tate Asylum No. 3, in which
there are at present about 7(0 patients; Mr.
Harter ciatms that upon good authority he is
informed that about 7 per cent of these unfor
tunates lost thair minds through Lost Manhood,
and the aful drainage brought npon. them

ported each year; No. 3, import price

Cuba.)
A casual examination of the tables
atiove would show to every person in
the country, except editors of the great
dailies, which country has control' of
the markets of the world with its rawl
sugar. Except during the three years,
1897-8-1900, when Cuba was in the
throes of a revolution, she has had
absolute control of and set the price
in the markets of the world for raw
sugar during all the years named in
Ihe table-. The above statement con
taining the truth, the following would
be the result: That the decline in
the import price from 5 3-4 cents in
1873 to 2 4-10 cents in 1901, as shown
in' column No. 3 of the table, tha- im
ports of sugar from Cuba furnished
the force to press down the import
price from 5 3-10 cents per pound in
1873 to 2 2-10 cents in 1901 of beot
sugar from Germany, as shown in col
umn No. 3, of the first table. In order
to see just "where we are at," let us
examine table No. 2; imports of su
gar from Cuba to see if we can detect
any signs of overproduction of sugar
during 1901 lurking around anywhere
in that table, and if we cannot find any
signs of it in that table, then there
was no such thing in the world in 1901
as overproduction of sugar as a gen
eral proposition or in Germany as a
local proposition.
If there had been overproduction of
sugar in the,, world 'during 1901, the
producers of sugar that year in Cuba
would have received ress of their
money per pound for their sugar than
they had for years before. Now what
are the facts? The reader only has
to examine column No. 4 in table No.
2, which shows what the Cuban got
each year in his money for his sugar.
The average price that the Cuban got
in his money during the 28 years,
from 1S73 to 1901, was five cents (5).
The price that the Cuban got in his
money for 1901 as shown at the bot
tom of column No. 4 was five and one
tenth cents (.051) per pound, or one
tenths of a cent per pound more during
1901, than the average for the 28
years. With the above facts before us
it would be nonsense and an insult to
the intelligence of the people to claim
that it was overproduction of sugar
in the world that caused the fall in
prices as shown in column No. 3 in
both tables. The decline In the price
of the German sugar from 5 3-10 cents
in 1S73 to 2 2-10 cents in 1901 was about
60 per cent and the decline in, the
price of the Cuban sugar in our money
from 5 3-4 cents in 1873 to 2 4-10 cents
in 1901 was about 58 per cent. The
fall of 60 per cent in the price that
the German producers were receiving
has produced wide-spread distress In
Germany.
I have shown conclusively that over
production of sugar did not cause the
decline in the import price of the Ger
man sugar from 5 3-10 cents in 1873
to 2 2-10 tents in 1901.
Now as to just what did cause the
decline as shown above.
The Cuban sugar was and Is prac
tically paid for with the ounce of sil
ver. In 1873 it was worth $1.29. At
that time the Cuban received as his
import price 5 3-4 cents (.0575) per
pound, and the American consumer
paid 5 3-4 cents per pound. In 1880
the Cuban received 5 3-10 cents per
pound in silver for his sugar and if
the commercial price of the ounce of
silver had remained at $1.29, the Am
erican would have paid 5 3-10 cents
per pound for his sugar Instead of
4 65-100 cents that he did pay. This
difference in price from 5 3-10 cents
to 4 65-100 cents was caused by the
decline in the selling price of the
ounce of silver from' $1.29 in 1873 to
$1: 14Vo in 1880.
Taking 1894 for the next date, the
reader will see that the . Cuban got
6 1-10 cents for his sugar In silver,
while the American paid 3 cents per
pound in gold. - If the ounce of silver,
had been $1.29 in 1894 the American
would have paid 6 1-10 cents-for the"su
gar instead of the 3 cents. This dif
ference in price between 6 1-10 cents
and 3 cents was caused by the decline "
in the selling price of the ounce of sil
ver from $1.29 to 63 cents in 1894.
The last date I will take is 1901, In
which the Cuban got as an average
price for that year 5 1-10 cents per
pound in silver, while the American
paid 2 4-10 cents in gold. This differ
ence in prices was caused by the de
cline in the price of the ounce of sil
ver from $1.29 per ounce to 61 cents
per ounce in 1901. Any one but an edi
tor of the great dailies can see that the
decline in the import price of sugar
from Cuba from 5 3-4 cents per pound
in 1873 to 2 4-10 cents per pound in,
1901 was caused by the decline in the '
selling price of the ounce of silver
from $1.29 in 1873 to 61 cents in 1901.
Any one but an editor of the greajt
dailies who has overproduction on the
brain can see with both eyes closed
that it was the fall in the selling price
of the ounce of silver from $1.29. in
1873 to 61 cents per ounce in 1901
that caused the fall in the import price
of the sugar from Germany from
5 3-10 cents per pound in 1873 to 2 2-10
cents per pound in 1901.
The 5 1-10 cents per pound that the
Cuban got for his sugar in 1901 would
buy about as many of the things he
needed in 1901 as the 5 3-4 cents per
pound would buy in 1873, while the
2 2-10 cents per pound that the Ger
man got in 1901, -would not" buy more
than ,half as many things as he need
ed in 1901 as the 5 3-10 cents per pound
that" fie got in 1873 would buy for him
in 1873. I wish to tell the State Jour
nal editor that the facts stated in the
last two lines above is what i3 caus
ing the great distress in Germany.

So we set about the duty and we'll

But his heathenship will have to pay

We will give him pretty Bibles, but
you bet we'll sell him rum,
And w-e'll fill his saddle-colored hid;

And we'll point his soul to glory in the

So we'll sail across the water with the

And our eyes on the benighted

Immigration
The immigration of illiterates into
this country is a greater threat to the
republic than ever before. This comes
about from the republican plan of buy
ing elections. The reform forces have
no money with which to go into the
communities where these illiterate for
eign voters reside by the thousand, as
the Mark Hanna managers did, and
give each a dollar and a card on which
was printed: '"I want to vote the
straight republican ticket," with in
structions to deliver it toHhe judges of
election.; Those cards were given out,
by the hundred to thfe Russian colony
here in Lincoln. The increase in the
vote for trusts, corporations and im
perialism in this city was largely due
to the dollars .and those cards. The

Populism Popular
Those far seeing individuals who
have for several years been subjected
to the, jibes of shallow partisans bo
cause of their advocacy of the doctrine
of public ownership of public utilities
suddenly find-themselves surrounded
by the procession that has at last
caught up with the van guard in the
march toward economic reform.
Government ownership of railroads
has all at once become a popular fad
and is advocated openly by those who
have heretofore thrown upon the prop
osition whatever odium they could
conjure up from its connection with'
populism and socialism. It is now said
that congress is liable to take som?
steps in the direction of legislation on
the subject. It may be that public seii
timent is finally aroused to such a de
gree that railroad corporations will be
unable to exercise their usual guard
ianship over members of the. two
houses of congress, though it will
take something akin to an uprising to
deprive corporate power bf its influ
ence over legislation. ;
The possibility, even the probability,
of congressional action in the direction
of government ownership is now dis-.
cussed in most of the correspondence
from the capital of the nation. It is
believed there that the purpose of the
new combination's to stifle competi
tion andncrease "carrying rate3. This
has been the purpose of all combines
during the past half dozen years, and
the new railroad trust is no worse in
its intentions than are all the indus
trial trusts that partyism has not on,Iy
permitted to exist, but has encour-
legislation. Sioux Far.s

The postofice department has es
tablished a press censorship. Speak
ing with the voice of Edwin C. Madden,
this division of the government's busi
ness system has declared itself aboe
the law and beyond the power of the
constitution. Under the practices Mad
den has begun, the newspaper press of
the country mayfeel tomorrow the ag
gressions of -an irresponsible office
holder, to whose reason it is futile to
appeal, to whom no cause i3 important
save his own ambition-crazed desires.

Today the , postoffice departnv
without right of law or authority
any kind, assumes to dictate to pf
Ushers what their advertising p.i
may contain and what form the :
vertisements shall follow. It I
cidental to this assumption that
postoffice authorities, intolerant of
basic, primal pfinciplo of all real L
tice, declare the publisher must
made to pay fourth-class rates for nr
ter already sent at second-class rat
and so sent long before the demai
for the higher rate is made. That

The misuse of power is not the .
ness solely of the class that mis
directly affects. It ia the business
every citizen. The efforts of the jh
office department to regulate the corv
tions unde'r which private enters
may continue concern every busin
man. The fact that the postonict :
partment has set up a press c:.- -ship
to govern one paper, or one k:
