t St. TV- OUR CORRESPONDENTS Mor People Thinking: and Writing: Than Ever Before -The Kdltor Buried Under Pile of MSS Never before In the history of The Independent has the editor had ?o many letters from the people letters containing valuable suggestions and sound thought. Even with the recent addition to the editorial force, both editors cannot hope -to even mention the names of all the kind friends of the paper who help it along with cheering words, much less to print more than A small per cent of them, because they would fill two such pa pers as The . Independent and leave no room for other matter - But the editors are willing to work hard (and it is no easy task to rear! several hundred letters in the day or two allotted to that work) and they have no notion of crying "enough." All they ask Is that correspondents must not feel discouraged if perchance their communications do not appear at once, or even at all; it is impossible to print all received, and because a letter fails to appear it Is no Sign that it was not well worthy of reproduc tion. P. A. Foreman. Upton, Pa., takes The Independent severely to task for conducting a fusion paper. "Seems to me," he says, "that you are courting a drubbing. Well, I won't give it to yon, as I believe every fusion pop, or every free silver democrat " (which nra Ana anrl tha eama tVi1ror faala -fViof A J t. V. l I, V kJ L. 1 . V. tiling; .ilfia t, 1 4 C I, they are a cipher in the political world. ... Yoir paper? No, sir. thank you no fusion in mine." (Mr. Foreman has a perfect right to his opinions on this subject so has the editor. Evidently Mr. Foreman places party above principles, and this places him along with the other mullet heads. Ed. Ind.) J. B. Cox, Mann's Harbor, N. C, Bays he could not be pleased better than with The Independent. "Think you have succeeded in making it th3 leading reform paper in the United States." A. H. Greene, Oregon, Mo., takes ex ception to the article by Francis Keyes. in defense of . Sampson. It reminds him so forcibly of the story of how "me and my Bettie killed the b'ar." Mr. Greene says: "Sampson should have been court-martialed for deser tion in the face of the enemy. Com ing down the chimney and claiming the victory on the ground of position is too gauzy for brave Americans.'' Geo. Watkins, Verdori. Neb., warns the allied forces, not to' "be deceived by the Governor Savage embroglio. Do not think for a moment there is any misunderstanding among repub lican leaders, except, perhaps, between Hour water and Mercer. Governor Sav age has no more idea of being nomi nated for governor than I have, but thre must be a sham -fight put up and what tfc'-y call the rank and file must apparently win out and nominate a man entirely satisfactory to Bartley and his partners. And Savage will get a rood appointment. ... I have not beard but one republican express any regrets on account of , Bartley 's pardon their, only, regret is. that Jt. may hurt the party and cause them to lose the state. . . . What becomes of our surplus balance In foreign trade? Mr. Editor, did it ever occur to you that our imports - are very largely undervalued in order to escape tariff charges? The theory of foreign debt is not correct. We have been ex porting in the aggregate more for the last sixty years than we have imported. From 1849 to 1897 we exported of gold, silver and domestic products one bll 1'ci "vp hundred million dollars more thrn w? imported. Whatbothers me is this: If we owe them and they own our factories, farms and railroads in large amounts, what did we get for them? (Largely no consideration was received. For example, English cap- - in: i 1 1 . vjiBUMs uvwi une imuiuu uunars in me capital stock of a five-million dollar railroad: afterward the stock is "wa tered" to ten millions; the English men ?et one-fifth of the additional stok. but give nothing for it; no ad ditional imports come to this coun try to cover the additional million of sQeu ities held by them; but they draw dividends just the same, when any are paid, and in the long run are sup posed to have two millions invested in American railroads, while in fact oaly one million was actually invest ed. Rise in values of lands pur chased at low figures years ago will also account for large foreign "invest ments" without a corresponding in crease in the figures for imports. Ed. Ind.) J. W. Zarnes. Mountain Grove. Mo., believes that It would ."be a manifesta tion of common sense for us to unite all the different nolitical factions and stand together against the common enemy." "One of the People."' Clayton, 111. orders a block of five liberty Build ing Postals with the comment: "1 voted the republican ticket straight up to 1896. In that memorable cam paign the 'blind partisan scales dropped from my eyes and I could then see clearly." "Where is the sense," Bays J. B. Van Court, Newton. Ia., "of treating a country as foreign In fixing tariff du ties, when we at the same time pro fess to own that country by pur chase. . . . What right under our constitution have we to levy a tarifT tax on them any more than we have on any other of our territories, or any state In the union?" (Chief Justice Marshall held that the territory west of the Mississippi river was just a3 much a part of the United States, and T x. A 1 1. tion, as New York or Massachusetts. He called It the "American empire." using that term in the sense of Ameri can nation. But our federal supreme court, claiming to be upholding Mar shall, have in reality construed tha constitution directly at variance with his Ideas. The court holds that the unuormuy clause in tne constitution applies only to states, that Is those ad mitted into the sisterhood of states, and that congress may legislate as It pleases for the territories. Under Its holding there is nothing do prevent congress from placing a tariff tax on wheat shipped out of Oklahoma, for Instance, but that would be a mighty unhealthy proceeding for congress and it wisely refrains. Ed. Ind.) Thomas F. Hynes, Phillpsburg, Mont., suggests that "that man Shlfaly with the $1,200 library in Indiana, I'M bet did not turn in to the assessor of his county as worth 30 cents. Men of different politics when nearlng a duck of his caliber should exclaim, 'Shoo, fly.' ... To my mind the main issue is the money question. Let the government be the . only one to Issue money, and let it be good, hard money, money that says on its face what it Is and not a promise to pay like the na tlonal bank note, which one of these days will be the cause of the greatest panic we have ever encountered. . . Keep fusion up until-the people come into their own again." Clarence V. Straight, Brooklyn, N. T., says: "The principles for which The Independent stands are in accord with my views, and I like the fearless way in which it is written. It is too bad we haven't a few more such pa pers so that the people could learn the truth. There is not one man in ten that understands the money ques tion and I'm afraid they never will unless we get some more teachers." Robert Lee Lane, Gate City, Va., subscribes and says that he is very much pleased with The Independent. J. W. Lusby, Downings, Va., says: "I am an old-timer who has come Over the trail. Tell 'old-timer' for me I would like to grasp his hand and shout sic semper tyrannus." Our good old friend, F. Schweizer. Woodlawn, Neb., has a number of well written and timely articles on the editor's desk. Mr. Schweizer has such a firm grasp on the principles of re form and. .good government, and 's such a prolific writer on the many matters which need attention, that the editor is always kept guessing which one or two of Mr. Schweizer's articles he ought to print this week and how much he can print without giving up the whole paper to Mr. Schweizer. His articles on canonizing Roosevelt. Smith and Madden; stealing Ninth street (Lincoln), and Prince Henry's visit are especially deserving of men tion. Frank Brownell, Cassa Grande, Ariz., was much delighted with The Independent's "roast" of John Shlfaly. Thinks he is "like hundreds of other rock-ribbed, hunch-backed, crooked necked, bow-legged, keg-ankled, bell muzzled, one-sided republicans. . . . I venture to say if he has an ounce of brains and will read The Indepen dent for a few months he would learn how to cast a ballot intelligently." Charles M. Bowen, Bath, N. Y.: "Send me those five subscription pos tals p. d. q. I will pay for them my self and send to some benighted re publicans. ... If I was rich I would place your paper in 1.000,000 homes: I was raised on Horace Gree ley's Tribune, and your paper seems like old times In its fearless denun ciation of wrong-doing everywhere." "Yes: I like your paper," says J. M. Hall. Hamilton, N. Y. "I am with you in the fight to a' finish." if my life Is spared. Have been advocating the same principles as The Independent represents for the last twenty-fiv? years, both in public and private, and the fight is not over by any means. If those reorganizers would go into the republican camp where they be long, the fight would be an easy one. . . . The Associated press hides and covers many great truths that would expose the republican rottenness that the people ought to know. Hence, we must get the information from the western independent press." CANDY CATHARTIC V Sl. KH. Genuine stamped C, C C Never sold In bulk. The Real Thing Pictures printed from genuine photo graphs show more accurately than any others the real article. The Sure Hatch Incubator Co. have made hun dreds of views of people using their machines and have printed them in their 1902 catalogue. Mr. M. M. Johnson, the hustling bus iness manager of the concern, goes in for this sort of real thing more than he does for braggadocio statements of the size of his factory, art catalogue, etc. He says it offers actual proof that the Sure Hatch Incubator can be run successfully under the most nat ural circumstances and conditions. Mr. Johnson has become well known among, the poultry fraternity for his terse, apt sayings, and one of them is, "Folks can't hatch chickens in big factories nor in big catalogues, but in good incubators." This strain of good. hard common sense runs through the entire catalogue of this company. There are no ambiguous statements either in. the catalogue or in the In structions for running the machine, none of that strained effort to make use of heavy adjectives or complex sentences. After reading the book one feels that he has had a good heart to heart talk with a man who knows the incubator and brooder business from A to Z. You can get one of their catalogues by addressing them at Clay Center, Neb., and if you are interested In poul try you will do well to send for one of them. They mall them free.

HELP THE POOR Hew our Statesmen at Wash In ft on Pro Tide for Destitute Millionaires and Ex-Presidents Editor Independent: In a tenement house in Wichita, Kan., eighteen-year-old Laura Robinette is slowly dying of consumption, while her mother and three sisters are almost destitute of food and clothing. The widow and four daughters own but one small bed and a cot and the dying girl, of course, occupies the bed. The appearance of the two small rooms clearly' indicates the destitute condition of the family. There is practically no furniture in the rooms, and what there is 'Is broken and almost useless. The newspapers say nothing about the husband of that unhappy widow, but most likely he was one of those extravagant employes of railroads or coal mines one of those who never care for their families and Instead of THE NURSE'S STORY An Interesting Incident Out of Hre Long Experience "Interesting?" said Nurse Coopernail in response to a reporter's query; "Yes, indeed, I have had some very In teresting experiences since I entered my profession. One in my calling has many opportunities to look upon the inside of home life, and, while I have seen much suffering, there is always a bright side, too. "An experience which affected my own life very intimately occurred a short time ago. Fortunately it had a happy ending. I had been suffering for about sixteen years with indiges tion and other attendant disorders of the stomach. I was bilious and felt tired and depressed much of the time: my head ached a great deal and often a faintness came over me so that I was obliged to lie down until it wore away. Besides that, I had trembling of thu stomach with all the symptoms of acute gastritis and my abdomen was so sore and tender that I could hardly bear to touch it. These ailments in terfered to a great extent with my work as a nurse. I tried a number of remedies without success until, up on reading one of your books, I deter mined to see what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People would do in my case. I began taking them according to the directions and experienced re lief almost immediately. I took them in all for about two months and now I recommend them to all who suffer from diseases brought on by poor blood or weakened nerves." Mrs. Charlotte Coopernail, whose above statement was sworn to before Noah H. Browning, a notary public, lives at No. 40 North Fifth street, Hud son, N. Y. She is one out of many who have been cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. These pills will not only cure cases similar to hers, but are a positive specific for all dis eases arising from poor blood or weak ened nerves. They cure locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after-effects of the grip, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions and all forms of weakness either in male or female. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are sold by all dealers, or will b3 sent postpaid on receipt of price, fifty cents a bog, or six boxes for two dollars and fifty cents (they are never sold in bulk or by the hundred) by ad dressing Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. Avoid imitations; substitutes never cured anybody. uries, so that if they should happen to be killed by accident on the road or ia the mine their poor widows and orphans are left destitute of every thing and dependent upon the charity of other people who do not always find out and know the real deserving poor. It may be, too, that the widow had deposited her money in a Mosher bank or one of that kind. In the same paper which contained the above .Information there- was" e notice that our great philanthropist, Grover Cleveland. Is also In a dest! tute condition. His salary as presi dent was not sufficient to live on, and in order to make a living for him self and family he was obliged to go fishing at Buzzard's Bay, where he fished about five million dollars to gether at public expense but on such a mere bagatelle a man with a family cannot live! Representative Lovering of Massa chusetts deserves, therefore, the grati tude of every honest Citizen for saving this nation, with its inexhaustible nat ural resources, from the disgrace of having to starve to death, for wart of bread, one of its ex-presidents, the friend and protector of the poor a fact clearly shown by his protection of the Coxey army and the Pullman la borers. Representative Lovering Introduced a bill providing a salary or pension for ex-presidents of the United States at the rate of $25,000 per annum from the date of retirement from the presi dency. F. SCHWEIZER. Woodlawn, Neb. THE AMERICAN FLAG American Flag: Association Denounces Speaker Henderson Army Appro priations Washington, D. C, Feb. 8, 1902. (Special Correspondence.) The Amer ican flag association, with headquar ters in New York, has for several years been behind a movement to have congress pass laws to prevent tne desecration of the stars and stripes in various ways. The association is now out in a circular denouncing Speaker Henderson of the house who has pre vented the passage of such a law by refusing to allow the matter to come up. The speaker doubtless remembers how successfully his party worked the flag racket in the last two campaigns by U3ing it to partisan advantage and hence does not propose that the priv ilege of its desecration in campaign time shall be curtailed. This flag- waving business is a winner at least the g. o. p. has so found it. The army appropriation bill is now ready to be reported by the chairman of that committee. It calls for an ap propriation for the present fiscal year of $91,000,000. Prior to the Spanish war the appropriations for the main tenance of the army used to run from $22,000,000 to $25,000,000 per year - that was before we had any colonial policy, before the country had entered upon the pathway of imperialism, ana before we had been confronted with the proposition of holding a people in subjection by the force of arms. The difference between $25,000,000 which it used to require for our army and the $91,000,000 which is now required rep resents the expense to this country in cident to maintaining an army in th.? Philippines. In this connection it may be well to state that there is a great. contest going on between the rival steamboat companies, to obtain the contracts from the government to car ry the troops and supplies necessary to the maintenance of an armv in tb? Philippines, to these islands, it being now an established fact that an Am erican soldier on account of the climate fhnmn nniinf -. n. fry M f V. tr. .-.p order to recuperate, and the ' amount now paid by the government, as shown by the ofllcial reports, for the transpor tation of troops and supplies to the Philippines, is $9,000,000 annually. These facts have been brought out by the contest between the rival steam ship companies to get the job. This class of interests are piling up im mense wealth out of the pockets of the American people on jobs of this kind. A perusal of the laws passed by the Philippine commission has shown that the circulation of statements or argu ments by Filipinos in favor of Inde pendence, the holding of meetings or forming of societies in favor of inde pendence, is considered by the Phil ippine commission as treason and Js punishable by fine and - imprisonment. It is also commanded by the commis sion that any one knowing of any such utterances or deeds against the government of the United States must make it known, the concealment of such knowledge being in itself consid ered treasonable and punishable with imprisonment for seven: years or a heavy fine. All this is ofllcial from the laws adopted by; the American Philippine commission. Because Senator Tillman denounced our un-American policy in the senate the other day (and Tillman seems the one man with the necessary courage) be was charged by Senator Foraker with treason against the United Stat es, when did the denunciation oi wrong begin to be betokened as trea son to the United States? How long since a man became a traitor aeainst American authority in voicing his as pirations for life and happiness and his hope for freedom? At what dread hour was it decreed that the unfor tunate of the old world who invoked against us the protection of the im mortal Declaration that set us free should be fined and imprisoned for "treason?" ' Have we gone trade-mad? Has the lust of conquest dethroned reason? It would seem so. H. W. RISLEY. A PARCEL'S POST A Republican Bill Introduced Into Con gress That Needs Some Very Careful Scrutiny Congressman Stark's recent letter. in which he intimated that he should oppose a parcels post law because he believed it would be detrimental to the interests of his congressional district, has brought out considerable discus sion of the question. The Geneva Ga zette and Jefferson County Journal take issue with Mr. Stark; while the Butler County Press believes that considerable may be said onboth sides of the question. The Fairbury News takes the position that the bill is im practicable because it provides for a rate of postage which i . below the cost of transportation v to the govern ment and predicts that the mail cars would be so loaded withrmerchandise that they would be virtually nothing but freight cars and would of neces sity move as slowly. ihe Independent is always a little suspicious .of a measure -of this kind if fathered by the republican party. and believes that the bill will bear the closest investigation. A parcels post, under a law properly framed, means relief from the extortions of the ex press companies. The express compa nies are ardent supporters of the re publican party. And it does not stand to reason that the republican party will enact any legislation which will permanently put a stop to the express companies' robberies. But the principles involved are cor rect. The only thing to look out for is a republican nigger in the parcels poz wood-pile. The contention that a par cels post will permit the big mail or der houses to destroy the small mer chants in country towns is not wel founded. It has its foundation in the premises upon which is based the re publican argument for a protective tariff. To prevent the big "mail order houses" of Europe from destroying the local merchants of America, a tariff wall is built around the United States. To prevent the big mail order houses of one state from destroying the local merchants of another state, the rail roads and express companies with their almost prohibitive tariff on small shipments are made to do duty as an interstate protective tariff wall. If it is a good thing to build a Chinese wall around the United States, of course it ought to be a good thing to build a similar one around each state; then a smaller one around each county; then around each town. Carried to its logical conclusion, this opposition ti a parcels post, on the ground that the local merchant will be called upon to compete with the big mail order houses of other states, means that ev ery farmer should be cut off from buy ing anywhere outside of that circle of territory within which he can drive with his team and wagon and get back the same day. If U is a good thing to protect the merchants of Fair bury against the robber competition of the big mail order houses of Chi cago, then the still smaller merchant.3 of Reynolds and Endicott and Steele City and Daykin ought e in all con science to be protected against the robber competition of the Fairbury merchants. It seems to The Independent that the people who buy goods have some rights to be considered in the discus sion of a parcels post system, and any argument against It based exclusively on the probable effect it "may have on a comparatively small number of people is not sound. It is an argu ment against progress. It is the same argument that has "always been used against the introduction of labor-saving machinery. -' With the populist motto, "Equal 'rights to all, special privileges to none," ever In mind and incorporated into the laws, there should be no opposition to the adop tion of any labor-saving device. B. Meserve, Bartley's fusion successor. It i3 not ready to apologize for Me serve, but calls him and the rest of the fusion ex-officials to book after this fashion." (And here followed the item in Hardy's Column, referred to In last week's Independent.) : , "I can see nothing in particular that can be accomplished by attending to it," remarked the-Junior Editor, "Hammond knowingly and wilfully lied that's about all there is to it. and that is not an unusual thing for him or men of his caliber. No gool would be accomplished by telling him so. He knew that the item in question was not an editorial; he knew It wi the utterance of Mr. Hardy; he knew that the position of The Independent was plainly stated in an editorial on the editorial page. I can't see that It can be 'attended to any further than that. You recollect the fate of the min ister who hurled a book at a skunk? Well, an answering editorial hurled at Ross Hammond would be quite on a par with the minister's action." And the Senior Editor assented. Is It Unconstitutional Shibley's brief on majority rule an outgrowth of the direct legislation idea contains a suggestion that is worth study, inasmuch as it involves the question of whether it is constitu tional for the people to hold the veto power in their own hands. He says: "It is provided in the federal constitu tion that the United States 'shall guar antee to every state in this union a republican form of government.' The question is, Will the United States su preme court hold that the optional referendum and the initiative when added to a . representative government, is 'a republican form of government?' The court has not as yet passed upon the question, nor has the supreme court of any state; but the monopol ists and their apologists claim that the new system is a democracy and not a republican form of government. For example, during 1847, the supreme court of Delaware went out of its way to state: 1. That the final determination of legislative questions by a direct ballot of the voters is a democracy and not a republican form of government, and 2. That such a system is in viola tion of the constitution of the United States. On this point the court said: " 'Although the people have the power in conformity with its provi sions to alter the constitution, under no circumstance can they, so long as the constitution of the United States remains the paramount law of the land, establish a democracy or any other than a republican form of gov ernment.' Price vs. Foster, 4 Harr. (Del) 179.) This raises an Interesting question well worth investigation. In view of the position taken by the supreme court of the United States upon the in come tax and a number of other ques tions, it seems to be a pretty safe guess what the decision would be in the case of direct legislation, especial ly as there can be no doubt as to the effect such legislation would ultimate ly have upon monopolies. It is ex tremely difficult for one to be an optimist in the face of such obstacles. Shtfaly "Snaffled" II Editor Independent: In your paper of January 30 appeared a letter from Mr. John Shifaly, in which he trie! to impress upon the minds of his read ers that he has a small dictionary. His lot of "jaw-breaker" words were taken word for word from Frank V. Irish's orthography, a book used in most of the common schools of the country. H. H. STROPE. Venus, Neb.
