The Buffalo Times has for some time
been engaged in a crusade against the
scandals and misconduct connected
with the administration of Buffalo's
financial department, with the result
that indictments have been returned
against ex-City Treasurer Gerst and
one Charles W. Dilcher, the former be
ing charged with grand larceny of
$55,394.62 and Dilcher with grand lar
ceny of $8,000 taken with the knowl
edge that it was city money.
A little while ago Edward Atkin
son was devoting his powers to teach
ing workingmen how they could live
on 6 cents a day and recently some
college professors have been working
at the same problem. Did any one of
these distinguished gentlemen ever
stop to think what would become of
the commerce of this country when
workingmen lived on 6 cents a day?
To whom would Armour and the tariff
grafters sell their goods under those
conditions?
The Washington Post, in speaking
of the appropriation of $60,000 to pay
the expenses of our coronation ambas
sador, says: "The amount is not
large on the contrary it is trivial."
All taxes come from the products of
labor and some of the men who have
to frunish that amount would not
think that $60,000 is a trivial sum,
though a plutocratic editor can be ex
cused for looking at it in that way.
A good many readers of The Indepen
dent would think that amount a con
siderable sum.
Senator Hoar has arrived at that
stage of partisanship where he can
not agree that a democrat can ever be
right, not even when the democrat ad
vocates a policy which he (Hoar) has
been advocating. The Massachusetts
senator voted with the republicans on
the Philippine bill when the proposi
tion which the democrats offered as a
substitute was in almost the exact
words of Senator Hoar himself. When
a man gets into that condition of mind
he is no longer fit to be trusted with
important official position.
It is said that the steel trust owns SO
per cent of the known iron fields. If
it should get control of the other 20
per cent then it would be a full fledged
monopoly, more dangerous to the wel
fare of the people than any railroad
combination that could be formed. In
such a case as that, if nothing could
break it up except public ownership,
the populists would favor that. But
they believe that if the right kind of
men are put in office and the right
policies pursued that the steel trust
and all other industrial trusts could
be suppressed. To manufacture and
distribute the steel and iron consumed
in these states by government direc
tion would be a very formidable un
dertaking. The trust may drive the
people to it. Nothing else can. This
in answer to a very friendly letter
from Worcester, Mass.
Tillman made a center shot when
he intimated in his reply vto Roosevelt
that the president would have done ex
actly a3 he did under the same circum
stances. It was Mr. Roosevelt , who
a whit worse in its effects on the na
tional character than was the case with
certain of the 'universal peace' and
'non-resistance' developments in the
northeastern states; In fact, it was
more healthy. A class of professional
non-combatants is as hurtful to the
real, healthy growth of a nation as is
a class of fire-eaters; for a weakness
or folly is naturally as bad as a vice,
or worse; and, in the long run, a
Quaker may be quite as undesirable a
citizen as a duelist." So far Tillman
has shown himself to be the equal of
any of them when it comes to an in
tellectual fight.
Secretary Hay delivered a long
eulogy, occupying many columns in
the newspapers, on McKinley in the
house of representatives before one of
the most distinguished audiences
which ever assembled in the United
States. Prince Henry, the house, the
senate, the supreme court, the diplo
matic corps were there and the army,
the navy were represented by their
most distinguished officers. The eulogy
was too long to reproduce in these
columns, and The Independent prefers
its own, which is as follows:
"The martyred president was a man
whose private life was above reproach
and whose sunny disposition attached
many men to him who became his
most devoted adherents. As a politi
cian he had been on both sides of ev
ery political question that came before
the people, except the tariff, and in his
last speech he wavered on that."
A writer in the Springfield Republi
can takes exactly the same ground
that The Independent has taken, in
writing about the Northern Pacific
merger and the steel trust. He shows
that the two railroads have a mon
opoly that cannot be interfered with
by other private parties, while the
steel trust does not have a monopoly.
He shows that the Lackawanna Steel
company, the Tennessee Coal and Iron
company and the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company are all making steel and
can furnish it just as cheap as the
steel trust, while it is utterly impossi
ble to transport goods to the points
which the two roads cover except over
them. He shows clearly that there
are two classes of business, one in
which competition can enter and the
other where it cannot. There is no
doubt that the writer of the article, Mr.
Charles C. Jackson, would be aston
ished beyond measure if he were told
that he had been writing populism.
"Of course the government paying $4
to $5 a day, every laborer, every farm
hand, every farm renter , would ter
times rather work for the government
(the people) ; why in the name of
heaven can anyon. object to that, if
they like it? No one is forced to
work." S. P. Gibson, Page, Neb.
Again that use of money terms in a
socialist discussion. Why not break
away from such a bad practice? Gov
ernment cannot pay $4 or $5 a day for
labor and keep it upunless on the
average each laborer produces that
much wealth. Under present condi
tions the products of labor are ab
sorbed by those enjoying special priv
ileges; take away these and the laborer
iff duties, discriminating railroad
freight rates, special privileges in
banking abolish these and a long step
is taken toward giving the laborer his
own.
The Schwab gambling In Europe is
still being commented upon. It is de
clared on all hands that Schwab is not
fond of gambling and one of his
friends, while defending Schwab, re
lates this little anecdote: "While in
Vienna I ran short of change one day,
and borrowed 300 kroner of Mr.
Schwab. He tossed a coin, with the
words, 'Doubles or quits. Heads you
owe me 600 kroner; tails we are even.'
It came tails, and the debt was can
celed." NEW CENSORS I1IP
McLaurin was a radical democrat
and was elected to the United States
senate because his constituents believe
those doctrines. He went over to the
republicans and now all the federal ap
pointments in his state are made at his
suggestion. One of his recent appoin
tees was a reporter by the name of
Koester, to be collector of internal
revenue in South Carolina. The presi
dent has issued the commission and
Koester is in charge of the office. Now
some miserable "niggers" are making
objection because the said Koester was
one of the principal actors in the
lynching of a negro. These are facts
that are known of all men and denied
by none. But a man must not men
tion them in the United States senate.
If he does he is liable to censure and
expulsion. Here is a new sort of cen
sorship. It is a censorship that cen
sors. On with the dance.
Mike Harrington came into The In
dependent office and made an eloquent
address on the need of extending the
circulation of the populist press, so
that the people could get the news and
be supplied with the facts and argu
ments sustaining reform principles. At
the end of the address he showed that
he was a believer in what he said and
not making the argument to simply
convince the court, for he took out his
check book and wrote a check for $15
and took five blocks of Liberty postal
cards. This is the largest order from
a single individual yet received. There
are perhaps many others who, if they
had heard Mr. Harrington's address
to the editor on the Importance of ex
tending the circulation of The Inde
pendent, the upbiulding of the party
that results, the fighting reformers
that it makes out of its readers, would
go and do likewise.
The wild and preposterous state
ments of socialists, even the leaders
among them, are so ridiculous that a
thinking man can only smile when he
hears them. Now here is Wayland
who says that under socialism "Travel
in Europe should be a part of the edu
cation of every child." To accom
plish that, for the children would
have to have care-takers sent along
with them, half the population would
have to be put to ship building for a
decade before the thing could be
started, and after that a great propor
tion kept in the mines and shipyards
mining coal to run the ships and keep
ing up the repairs, while a host more
would have to devote their time to fur
nishing supplies. That is a little
wilder than Gibson's statement that
half the college graduates are now on
the road tramping. With a theory so
opposed to all reason to start with,
there is no wonder that on little side
issues like these, an unchecked imag
ination Is given free rein.
The editor of The Independent has
received letters from Oregon, from
Colorado, from Iowa, from Kansas and
several from Nebraska, besides per
sonal information from four or five
persons in Lincoln, all declaring that
the mullet heads do not know that the
Philippine commission passed a law
making it a crime to read, print or cir
culate the Declaration of Independence
in those Islands. One, a newspaper
man, says that all the republican
dailies west of Chicago cut that out
of the Associated press dispatches or U
was not sent over the western circuit.
It is certain that those who read only
republican papers in this city know
nothing about it. A canvasser for
two mullet head papers went into a
man's place of business bragging
about the "news" which his papers
furnished when the gentleman asked
him if he knew about the passage of
that law and the canvasser had never
heard of it. The gentleman advised
the young man to change his em
ployer and go to canvassing for The
Independent, a paper that did print
the news.
ESCAPING THE DRAFT
During the" civil war the population
of Canada was increased considerably
by men who slipped over there to es
cape the draft. Lately H. Gaylord Wil
shire moved over there with his ma
gazine. And now comes word that
Jim Hill has gone across the line and
Incorporated a Northern Securities
company to do the same work he in .
tended should be done by the one ln-
cape the draft. Wilshire went there
to escape Madden. And Hill has gone
there to escape Teddy and Knox.
Wilshire now enjoys better postal
facilities than he did in this country
and at half the cost. Hill "will be able
to manipulate his merger scheme in
spite of any suits, no matter who
brings them under present laws. It
may be a little too much to say that
Wilshire got his inspiration from the
fleeing rebel sympathizers;, but isn't
It reasonable to suppose that Hill got
his idea from Wilshire'?
With all due respect for Commis
sioner Oldham who wrote the opinion,
the learned commissioners who con
curred, and the learned court which
approved the opinion and gave it force
as law, The Independent dissents in
the case of Weston vs. Herdman, re
cently decided. Of course, the reporter
(who acts as clerk and librarian) is an
officer named in the constitution; but
his salary is not fixed in that instru
ment, as is true in the case of the
executive state officers. The provi
sion is that his "salary shall be fixed
by law, not to exceed fifteen hundred
dollars per annum." It might be fixed
at $1 or $100 or $1,000, if the legisla
ture saw fit. But the legislature long
ago fixed it at $1,500. Did that legisla
tion have the effect of amending the
constitution, so that an indefinite pro
vision, which could not be construed as
an appropriation, became definite and
certain and binding as a perpetual ap
propriation of $1,500 a year? The
Independent does not think so, and is
not prepared to concur in the opinion
that the constitution must be extended
or made effective by appropriate legis
lation. All the constitution does in
the case of the clerk's salary is to
place a limit on the amount the legis
lature may "fix" and appropriate for
him. That's the way it looks to The
Independent but, of course, what the
court says goes.
The Kansas Brown Oats

any oats I have ever tried. It will
pay every farmer to try them. This

measure, in wagon; boxful weighs 9-l
pounds to a bushel measure. Good
seasons they yield from sixty to
eighty bushels per acre. Price, 75
cents with sack. I have Lincoln Oats,
they are a good white oats, and a

What th8 Kansans Should Do
The Independent believes that there
is one way for the populists and demo
crats of Kansas to overcome the effect
of the disfranchisement law enacted
by the republican legislature of 1901.
Its advice would be this: That the
populist convention and the democratic
convention be called to meet in the
same city on the same day. That the
two conventions proceed in the usual
manner to effect co-operation, just as:
though no anti-fusion law were in
existence. That an equitable division
of the offices be made, and that each
convention nominate the full ticket,
adopting platforms in harmony with
those heretofore made. That ar
rangement be made whereby both
certificates of nomination be made out
in due form and filed with the secre
tary of state on the same day, let the
two chairman go together into the
secretary's office and present the cer
tificates for filing at the same time.
Then immediately afterward begin an
action, either in mandamus or in
junction, as seems best suited, setting
forth the facts and attacking the con
stitutionality of the republican dis
franchisement law. No candidate on
either ticket should file any "election"
with the secretary, stating which nom
ination he desires to accept pay no
attention to that, because you attack
the whole law and must not accept
any of its provisions or waive any of
your rights.
The court will doubtless sustain the
law. That Is almost a foregone con
clusion. But let it. You have done
your part, and the secretary will be
compelled to elect which ticket is en
titled to go on the ballot. Let him do
it. Either the dembcratlc or the pop
ulist ticket will be wholly crowded off
the ballot, and both parties can go
into the field and make a showing of
what the republicans have done to
disfranchise a great body of voters in
Kansas.
Don't compromise with them by ac
cepting any of the provisions of this
damnable law without a fight for your
rights. Don't submit meekly to the
disfranchisement, or attempt to evade
it by placing part of the ticket under
each head. Compel the republicans to
either be fair or to perform the actual
work of disfranchising you. Don't aid
them in it.

Cream Separators. Book "Business
It is really astonishing how many
men, whose training and environment
ought to make them know better, fall
into the old republican rut of assert
ing that this industry or that will be
completely wiped out of existence un
less a certain tariff duty on imports
is maintained. At present a number
of populists and democrats in Nebrska
are terror stricken because it is sug
gested to remove the tariff from sugar
to have reciprocity with Cuba. "It
will ruin the beet sugar industry of
Nebrac'-a," they say, "completely wipe
it out of existence because the price
of sugar will be sure to fall at least a
cent a pound; and If the beet sugar
industry is killed, what will become
of our farmers who grow beets?"
Well, they managed to get along
before they ever grew a sugar beet,
and they t:ould do it again. But it is
sheer folly to say that the industry
will be killed. However, suppose it
is killed. Let us look at another
phase of the question. What does the
reduction of a cent a pound mean to
Nebraska consumers of sugar? The
average sugar consumption of the
United States is something like 72
pounds per person per year but sup
pose we say that each Nebraskan uses
50 pounds a year. That's a saving of
50 cents to each person. There are
something over a million sugar users
in Nebraska. Hence, a cent a pound
reduction in the price will mean a
saving of $500,000 each year. "A
penny saved is a penny earned," and
half a million saved is not to be de
spised. What about the 150 or 200
beet growers in Nebraska? Will they
be ruined? Hardly. They will simply
grow some other crop if they can't
grow beets and will any sane man
declare that the profits of this handful
of beet growers amount to a half mil
lion dollars each year over and above
what they could make by growing
other crops?
The Grand Consummation
The Independent has received two
or three letters criticising the good
judgment of the editor in giving as
one of them says: "So much space
to socialism, single taxers and other
isms." In reply nothing can be said
more forceful than was written by
Horace Greeley when he was blamed
for the same thing and his subscrib
ers complained that he gave too much
space to the "isms" in the Tribune. In
reply to them he said:
"Full of error and suffering as the
world yet is, we cannot afford to reject
unexamined any idea which proposes
to improve the moral, intellectual, or
social condition of mankind. Better
incur the trouble of testing and ex
ploding a thousand fallacies than, by
rejecting, stifle a single beneficent
truth. The plans hitherto
suggested may all prove abortive; the
experiments hitherto set on foot may
all some to naught (as many of them
doubtless will); yet these mistakes
shall serve to indicate the true mean
ing of improvement, and these experi
ments shall bring nearer the grand
consummation which they contemplate'
What Might Have Been
Mr. J. M. Pratt, Gainesville, Tex.,
writes The Independent a long letter
abusing it because of co-operation be
tween the populists and democrats.
The letter is too long for publication
in full, but The Independent will no
tice briefly one statement: "If it had
not been for the treachery in the peo
ple's party ranks, we would have been
in power by next national election."
Now, this statement is frequently
heard from those who oppose co-operation
with the democratic party
but is it true? Who can demonstrate
what might have been? Let us look
the matter squarely in the face: When
the democratic party adopted -the Chi
cago platform that practically stopped
the growth of the peoplefs party. It
helped wonderfully in spreading pop-,
ulist ideas, because although the Chi
cago platform does not go far enough
to suit the dyed-in-the-wool popul
ist, it is nevertheless a step in the
right direction; and its adoption by
the democratic party prevented thou
sands and thousands of democrats
from joining our ranks. It mattered
nothing whether the people's party co
operated with the democrats or not
the party growth was checked just
the same. There was no room for two
great reform parties, having plat
forms so nearly alike. The people's
party could not continue to make
such a phenomenal growth as it had
theretofore, because a large portion of
its recruits had to come from a party
whose platform, under the party re
organization and rejuvenation, con
tained in great measure many pop
ulist demands. Where was this enor
mous growth to come from, which
might, have placed the people's party
in power nationally by our next presi
dential election? Not from the demo
cratic ranks surely.
Why not take a sensible view of the
situation? The people's party is still
the balance of power, even if not a
single officer in state or nation claimed
allegiance to the party. Its mission is
by no means ended. There is yet a
possibility that the democratic party
may by trickery be wrested from the
present control. Should that come to
pass, the people's party is organized
and ready to grow again. But should
the democratic party remain true to
its present platform and finally win
in the nation as it must 4 sooner or
later then a part at least of pop
ulist demands will be granted. And as
reforms do not come all at once, no
populist should feel discouraged.
