Honorable Patrick Kennedy, Member,
of the Massachusetts Legislature, writes
the following letter from the Hens of
Representatives, Boston.
Doctor S. B. Hartman : ' j . .
Dear Sir: "1 have no hesitation In
saying that after having tried dozens
of other remedies without relief, I owe
my perfect health and clear voice d
today to Peruna. I know it to be a sure
euro for indigestion and its attendant
affliction, nervous debility. For the 6lx
weeks that I was on the platform
through the, recent campaign I used Pe-
run a regularly, and although I spoke
two and three times each day my voice
never failed me, I know that Peruna is
a reliable cure for bronchial troubles."!
P.J.Kennedy.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna.
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
vice gratis. .

The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, 6
Cunning is the weapon of greed. A
fair fight it always avoids. -That is
why the republican editors are "all the
time bringing out candidates, for the
presidency for those who do not in
dorse republican plans. 9 Every week
they have up some new man whom
' they say that the democrats and fu
sionists are going to run for president.
They well know if any candidate was
' , brought forward, now that they would
have three years in which to make
him infamous "with their tirades,' their
jibes and their cartoons. "yVhen the
campaign came on there would not be
anything left of him. Any democrat
or fusionist who brings OHt a candidate
for president at this stage of the ganie
has certainly a t soft ' spot in his
cranium.
Do you not believe that the time
will come when the American people
will look back to these days when city
councils had to be watched with more
care than one would watch a known
thief, when the right qf way in streets
and p.lies was given to rich men,
when thepoor man was taxed and the
owners of valuable franchises were
exempt, when, the heroes who had
fought the nation's battles were repri
manded, persecuted and degraded,
when the gospel of Christ was propa
gated at the cannon's mouth do yon
think that the time will come when
the men and the political party that
did those things will be looked upon
with the same horror that the patriots
of the days of Lincoln looked upon the
African slave trade?
A republican writes to the editor of
The Independent wanting to know "by
what parity of reasoning the populists
maintain their opposition to Secretary
' Gage's plan of "issuing money on bank
assets. The populists are always howl
ing for more money and that plan
would certainly make more money."
The reason"1 that populists oppose
Gage's plan of wild cat banking is that
it would dollar more money. - It would
only flood the country with bank due
. bills promising to pay money on de-
mand when every man of common
sense would-know that they did not
have the money to pay with and there
would be no chance for them to get it.
If 'the - aforesaid republican ' believes
that a promise to pay money is money,
which he undoubtedly does, he is In
the rigbtsort'of intellectual surround
ings when he is the republican party
and he should stay there. A man trou
bled with such a delusion , would find
himself in a very uncongenial envir
onment anywhere else!
The republican editor of the east Is
cut froin'the same piece of cloth as
the mullet head of Nebraskar ; "'The
editor of the'' Seneca (Falls 'county)
Courier .of New York gravely an
nounces that the cry of the Bryahltes
is: "Down with the trusts and tip
with the. TagLl flag," and further de
nounces --. them because " "they . doh, t
seem to care anything for a party vic
tory unless it means a triumph of thejr
principles." Perhaps that ; editor has
stored, away as ".proof ; of h is first as
sertion 'Bryan democratic vjjanders on
which is printed: "Down; with the
trusts and up , withVthe flfagal i flag."
Perhaps, also, he is able, to prove
that men " who "don't carej anything
f6f a party victory- unless It means
triumph of their principles" -'should
be suppressed' and' forced to vote' the
republican" ticket here'irlttmph .6f

lYve f relinquished . their vigilance N the
bulwarks of their liberty hive been

toil, suffering and blood. ,iT
Four or five republican niembera of
the house seem to be troubled with
squamishness which is all-out of order.
They should brace up. They and their
party forced imperialism and a col
onial policy on this government and
now1 just as the ship Is about to stdit
out on these unknown seas they be
gin to back water. They wouldn't
vote ; for the "Philippine . tariff .1 That
was undignified. It was ' childish.
When they supported the republican
policy during the last national cam-
paigh they well knew that it meant
imperialism " and colonies. Constitu
tional squamishness unfits a man for
membership in the republican-party.
If they remain in it while entertaining
even a faint desire for; constitutional
liberty, it is pretty good evidence that
they are there only because they ' can
by. that means get office. When a man
will support a party that he believes !a
engaged in overthrowing constitu
tional liberty just for the sake of
holding office, he" shbtild hot ? be trou
bled with squamishness;.- A' man who
marches in the ranks of the republican
party must not be fastidious.
OUT LIE THEM ALL
. '
A dispatch printed in thedaily pi
pers says that deeds were-made to tha
village of ', La Grange, Mich.;" for the
water, light and power -plants of ths
town. This was the result of an elec
tion held on December 10, when- a
proposition for municipal ownership
was carried. The final result of , that
election was very different from the
one that was held in Lincoln when a
similar proposition was adopted here
by a vote df the people. Lincoln -Is
cursed with a partisan republican city
council, obeying the commands of the
corporatidns. The bonds that were
voted to purchase the gas and electee
light plant were locked up by them,
on the excuse that the credit ot the
city of Lincoln, after aj. quarter of a
century of republican rule, was at such
a low ebb that there was not a man In
the whole United State3 who would
invest his money in so' doubtful a se
curity as ibje bond of a- republican
ruled city in Nebraska. ' There is hot
a pop county out in the sand hills
that can't "float its bonds as soon as
Issued. Cut according to this city
council the credit of this republican
corporation-run city can't sell its
bonds at all. To tell the truth about it,
they are about the most abominal liars
that ever governed a city, Philadelphia
not excepted. ' ; '' ' '- , '.
BREAK VV IN THE CABINET ;
When Roosevelt announced that he
should carry out the policies -of Mc
Kinley without any" variation and that
the 'cabinet' would ' remain as it was,
The; Independent called attention i to
the fact that a similar declaration "had
been made by every vice president who
had i succeeded to the presidency, but
In every case In a few months the cabi
net had been broken up and the pbii
cies greatly changed. The cabinet of

?''l IMPERIAL CHAOS
' There '"" is no , "organic law" , in the
Phiiippihes ind no kind of law except
the 'will of the conquerors. With ihis
state, of facts staring ihem in the face
the republicans continue to talk o?
building- up civilization among that
people. .The first step in civilization is
Ikw-;; .Whatever the Taft' commission
has-.-dohe or may do, it cannot ldy the
first, stone in the foundation of civili
zatloh., "At any time "it may, be re
called, and! another be sent. Different
iaws ;may be promulgated any day. A
new congress in the United States may
be pleased to start out on entirely dif
ferent lines, and congress, according
to .the supreme court, can do what it
pleases with the Philippines. No
ouhd' and safe business can be Insti
tuted in the Islands without an organic
iaw," ; .and ' no conservative business
man fwill . venture his fortune on any
such unsafe basis.
H. There never can be any civilization
in "the Philippines under the condi
tions, established by the supreme
Ourt. J There can be no permanent ad
vancement made. What those people
need;, and .what all peoples must have
is a "government based upon perma
nent; organic law. Under imperialism
no such conditions can ever be created.
The' constitutions of Germany, Eng
land, France and the United States, is
the basis upon which their civilization
rests. Without them, those nations
would still. be' In the disorganized con
ditions that always exist in the ab
sence of organic law. The organic
law of the United States could be ex
tended to the Philippines and on that
a civilization could be constructed, but
the supreme court says that the con
stitution does not follow the flag. A
goverjy-pent could be organized in the
islands and an organic 'law could.; be
framed under which , a civilization
could I be developed. "'.One of the other
of these things must he done before
modern civilization can get a foothold
there.; Neither of them do the imper
ialists (. propose . to permit. , A costly
chaos';, will therefore . continue ia the

' THE OAKE ACCEPTED
The editor of ' The , Independent has
receive 2 a letter signed "Republican
in which the,, writer; pays: "A paper
that continually prints such, falsehoods
as yours ought tobe suppressed and
no one; would blame Madden if he did
suppress it. I, dare you to print what

it. You dasenlt do 'iX'yf ' V : : ;
Well, here-is just what, the director
of the mint did say, copied verbatim
from that 4report, Ut beinc the second
paragraph as 4t appears it' the official
document, ' entitled-. "Annual Report,
1900, Director' of -the Mint''; . '
"The coinage of the past year was
in excess of that executed in any
previous year in the, history, of the
service, aggregating. ' 184,373,793
pieces pf; the- value of $141,351,
960.36, as compared with 122,
270,945 pieces : of ;"the value of
$136,855,676.79 Jn the last- fiscal

as compared with $108,177,180. The'
coinage of silver dollars; $18,244,984
as compared, with $18,254,709. in the
previous" year. The chief increase ,
was In the output ' or subsidiary
and minor coins, which surpassed
all records and may doubtless be
attributed to the extraordinary ac-
tivity of . retail trade .throughout
the country. The coinage of sub
sidiary silver amounted to' 57,

243,017.21. While the 3 subsidiary
and minor coins do not count up
into great sums in value, they keep
a great many presses . busy and ;
the: above totals signify a great
deal of work." s -
It will be noticed tnat the coinage
of siiver is .placed under two items,
silver . dollars . and subsidiary silver.
If they are added together the sum to
tal will be found to' be $31,101,833.15.

IDEALS OF COMMEBCIAtlSlH
' Is the ability to accumulate wealth
reall the very highestthing to which
a man can. attain"? - A great many good
men .seem to accept, the drctr.'ne as
the very, foundation, -;of civilization.
Are the men who-; have cteome "grrat
captains of industry" raily the heroes
of -.. the human :, race.?t-Are " these men
even the primary authors of wealth?
It is greatly concededHtbat the appli
cation by the' English people of the
doctrines laid down. ins-AcUm Smith's
work on political econdmy,is the foun
dation on whichithe wealth of that
great empire is- based. But -. Adam

had resulted from the husband having

A minister present' who always takes
an active interest in helping every ona
in want made quite a little speech upon
the improvidence . of - the laboring
classes who never saved, up any money
and as soon as they-were thrown out
of ejtnployment" were in want. A gen
tleman present turned to the minister
and asked: "How -much money have
you accumulated: and "laid by?" A
roar ., of 'laughter followed,; for every
one knew: that although the minister
had a good salary he never had any
money If some one gave him a
pocketful, he wouldn't have a cent in
a week. He would always be finding
some one in distress to help.- Was
that minister really 'o a lower order
of being than some rot the rich men in
the city v who had ; accumulated hun
dreds of thousands of dollars? ' That
is the. idea ot modern commercialism,
it pervades all our legislation and is
the inspiring motive-; of imperialism
and the republican party. .s
. THREE NEW TRAITORS
Greed never exhibited a more per
fect example of its' depravity than
when , three Louisiana democrats voted
with the republicans to launch this re
public on the treacherous sea of im
perialism.; They knew that every re
public since the golden days of Greece
and Rome that had started on that
voyage never again returned to the
port; of liberty Jfrom'which she sailed.
In the, maelstroms of contending fac
tions, .all seekin? their own advance
ment instead .of he good of the state
they,' one' after another, went down' to
rise rid more. They knew all that,
it had been preached to them by B ry
an during all the last campaign while
all history bore r record to -the truth
of his. statements. Yet for a possible
higher profit oh &ugar and t tobacco
for a "few years to come, these demo
crats were willing to destroy this re
public and p ut in its place an imper
ial -government, holding , conquered
people in subjection and taxing" them
without their consent. For a profit
on sugar : and tobdeco,"' these demo
crats were willing 1;o do that sort ;f
thing. That Is the 1 jw estate to which
greed will bring' men. Those men
stood exactly on the. same plane that
Benedict' "Arnold did when he- sold
his country :f or Britishgold. iThe re
publicans do not stand on that level:
They have been brought up. In a dif
ferent environment, and many of them
have read only the literary, matter of
the republican . national committee.
Consequently- they were too ignorant
to comprehend the consequences. Fat
with : the"' democrats - it was different.
The founder of their party was Tho
mas Jefferson. ' The doctrines that he
taught and which were enbalmed in
the Declaration of Independence have
been their daily mental food. They
knew what they were doing, and they
deliberately sold their principles for
a possible higher, profit on Sugar and
tobacco. . - : . ':
In the list cf traitors;" Uet : thpir
names always follow imhiediateiy af
ter that of Benedict Arnold and his ?3
given precedence, not because his
crime was the blacker , hut because it
preceded theirs In point' Of time.
A "WORLD POTTER'.' t
Either Judge Brewer of the United
States supreme court is a close reader
of The Independent' or two men think
and talk . very much alike"; although
they live -a thousand : miles ; apart.
When the republicans first adopted the
campaign cry, "We have become a
world: power," several - articles were
printed i,riiThe Independent showing
how ridiculous it was to suppose that
a naval battle had created .. a new
"world power" in a day, that power
rested t upon population,. '.wealth, ex-"
tent of territory the degree of civiliza
tion and; many other things, none of
which could result from a . naval bat
tle." In Judge Brewer's address at
Philadelphia he uses almost exactly
the same words that were used In The
Independent editorials two years ago.
'The ; Independent at that ' time
claimed that we had been the most
potent "world power" on the globe
for at least forty years.- That the in
stitutions and form of government of
the United States had made such an
impression on the peoples of the world
that every new government that had
been formed since that time had been .
built oh the model that we furnished
and that even the monarchies .of the
old world,. ; whose histories ran back
for centuries, had been most profound
ly influenced 1 ty the free institutions
that we had established uhder the con
stitution and. inspired by the doc
trines of the Declaration of Indepen
dence. But- the republicans- main
tained that all this time we'had. no M-
-fluence.in the affairs, of .the world and
had not helped to guide; the develop
ment of government, but . all at on?e
one morning we.. woke up and fouad
ourselves a v"world povef." , In his
Philadelphia .-, address, Judge k Brewer
shows i the .absurdity of such a claim,
in which -he agrees with what was said
in The Independent two years ago.
THE "WAR TRAITORS?
General Chaffee is certainly' a great
er man than Edmund Burke. Burke
said concerning the ' American colon
ists who were acting at that time very
much a's the Filipinos now do, that he
did not know how to frame an indict
ment against a whole people. General
Chaffee knows how . and " this is the
way he does it. In his last report oc
cur these words: ' V . ;
History affords no parallel of a
whole people thus practically turn
ing war traitors, and In the genius
of no other people was ever found .
such masterful powers of secrecy
and dissimulation.
That takes .them all in. There 'arc
no exceptions and it is. the first time
that an indictment was , ever drawa
against "a whole people." It will be
seen that, American ;. imperialism is a
somewhat .superior article to, that of
George III. There is a new phrase in
this indictment. The independent is
somewhat doubtful about, the' meaning
of the words "war traitors." A letter
hr.s been sent, to the 'war department
asking for a definition. If an answer
is received it will be published. It Is
prdbably a phrase invented to de
scribe' a situation something like this:
A few thousand Filipinos l are taken
prisoners. It will hardly do at tho
point to which imperialism has ar
rived, to line them all Up and shoot
them down. So they are told that
they must take the oath of, alieg lance
to the United - States, or be ' sent to
Guaml "They are all forced to take
the oath after which ' they are re
leased. An oath takerii under such
circumstances does not seem . to the
Filipino to amount to : much and he
goes out longing and thirsting for in
dependence and liberty "and acts just
as he did before .he was inade to take
the oath.- When' a Filipino 'acts that
way, we suppose thit deheral Chaffee
calls him a "war traitor." If the war
department sends any other definition
of the term, The ' Independent will
cheerfu".y make the correction.

And vhec there was talk of locating a
brewery in : Lincoln a few;.yeara ago,
the arguments the Journal' used in its
favor was that" the people of Lincoln
paid $1,700 daily for beer, or $638,000
annually for thatdeadening drink. r If
that money ;was. annually paid , for.
home,' fc od and clothing, .how much
better off the people of Lincoln would
be. " It is the $42,000 which' we get
annually out- of the' saloons . for our

Nation, the woman who .has closed
more saloons the . last ' year than ' any
other tep persons' living, appeared in
Lincoln last Sunday and spoke to the
largest congregation that 'ever met, at
the same hour, in the city of Lincoln.
She talked at the auditorium about a
hajf hour and then at the Oliver thea
tre about the same length of time.
Both of the vast congregations seemed
to Indorse every word she . spoke. In
fact there was not a single dark spot
in anything she said. Every one pres
ent knew she spoke the truth: We-well
remember, back In the fifties, of hear
ing men boast of how many fugitive
slaves they had, helped to get into Can
ada. That was in violation of the fu
gitive slave law and the supreme court
decision, but Mrs. Nation had the law
on her side. In fact she ha3 only en
forced the law.
Christmas, season Is generally al
lowed to be a season of giving. Giving
to the, poor who need food or cloth
ing. Presents to friends as a tie of
friendship. Giving to the poor does
not always hit' the mark. We remem
ber a poor man coming to us -one Sat
urday evening asking for ,help to feed
his family over Sunday. His house
and everything in it had been burned,
he said, in Nebraska City and he hoped
to get work Monday. We could detect
no taint of liquor or tobacco on his
breath and proposed to buy him sqme
bread, but .he said a baker gave him
some stale' bread. Well, t;aid.I, bean
porridge and dry bread is good enough
for" me and you can live on.lt over Sun
day.. So we stepped into a grocery,near
by and gave the grocer a quarter and,
told him to give the man some beans.
Sunday morning we were down look
ing'over matters and who should we
find in the city prison but that bean
man for. being drunk. Monday morn
ing we' went to the grocer and found
that the' man had told him that we
owed him a quarter and took the mon
ey Snstead of the beans and .with that
quarter he got drunk.
In looking up children for our Sun
day school we found a little boy down
on 7th street who wanted to come to
pur, school, but had hardly clothes
enough to cover his nakedness. The
ladies of the' church fitted him out
with a suit and his mother washed him
up clean and sent him to our school
the. next Sunday. That Buit was only
worn on Sundays and lasted him all
summer. Late In the fall we met that
little 'boy on a snowy sidewalk bare
footed. We went and bought him a
pair of shoes and stockings and toolc
them down to him that evening. The
