A HAD BRITISHER He Makes Vfy Queer Historical Statements It was England and not Schley and Dewey Who Whipped the Spaniards Editor Independent: Since you ask me why I do not subscribe I reply, I am author of "What is Money?" dedi cated to free silver and popular rights. Led by Bryan you have forsaken those principles for an utterly imprac ticable -and unjust championship of the Boers. The English made all that the Boers had worth living for; were blackmailed unmercifully by an ex clusive Boer junta called a "legisla ture ;"taxed to death and denied votes and voice. They demanded simply rights. The Boers refused and the Boers declared war. Why don't you tell your readers thatt if it has any thing to do with free silver? ?Yqu an tagonize our Saxon blood when it was Briton's ironclads that covered Cuban waters and said to Europe as at Ma nila "Hands off. If you fire on the Americans you must fire on us first." Oh, lest we forget. In lieu of wel coming this grand alliance, which we must have or fight the world, you ridicule England in her hour of trial and say: "Why not fraternize with the Swedes?" What has Sweden done for us or can she do? ' And in this country they are the meanest, lowest and most subservient tools that black j republicans ever befooled. ' What hope, have you of winning them from their idols? They know nothing of south ern ladies and gentlemen, yet attack them and their institutions with ve nom unspeakable. Four columns or five are filled with such rant and I decline to pay for it. Give us a Journal against the money power and for flat money based on national honor as on all sufficient en deavor. Let England alone; pass by the Philippines (head-hunters, etc.,) and deliver more and more telling blows and ; at ;. monopoly and fraud right at home, and I am with you. What good are the Boers and head hunters going to do you or the populist party anyway? Descend from ; the clouds, bombard pur foes in the na tional banks and. -railroads, and your circulation will' double. ' , I would not give England for sav ages and semi-savage Boers, whose Idea of fun is to push the traveler off the sidewalk into a foot of mud, call them vile names and cut them with horrible cattle whips. Do you want their friendship? I don't. They charge travelers for even water. From a friend who was: with them I "learn these things and many more worse. For example, they, refused him water one day entirely saying, "We don't want strangers in our country." Com pare this with the flattering attention the humblest American receives in England. Why -are you pro-Boer? Bark up a tree with something in it, -The gold gang laughs at such far fetched opposition; they pass it over their heads and go. on stealing from and oppressing the people. You shoot In the air nearly every time. A few articles almost to the silver point show you could do better. I grieve to say J do not find in your paper the organ I had hoped for. Drop your pro-Boer, pro-Swede alliance, anti-Anglican pre judice. Welcome facts as they are. Charge the banks, the corporations, the prostituted mint and treasury. Now they say: "Have a gold man to Indorse silver." What do you know or care for such topics? I look for jus tice and see a cry for a lot corrupt monopolist Boers who as a business introduce anti-English bills into their legislature solely; to pass the hat tfo the British mine' owners and when their maws are 5 filled the bill is . in definitely postponed, only to reappear ad infinitum whenever the industrious and enterprising foreigners have made enough to bear another squeeze. And this is your Boer, republic? a petty oligarchy of the worst and the most brutal and ignorant. Pardon my frankness. You know I mean well. You can never succeed by abandoning the Chicago platform to chase rainsbows. T. H. THORPE. Oak-lette, Va. : . - .-'' (It is men holding just such ideas as the above who have, cost England 11,000,000,000 and fifty thousand lives, and have piled a mountain of debt upon the hard working English people that will keep them In worse bondage than Mr. Thorpe says the Boers in flicted upon them. The same sort .of thing in this country has cost us mil lions of dollars and thousands of lives for which we get no return. Besides that it has enthroned in power a gang at Washington" that intends to over throw this government and enslave the people just as it does hi Britain. The ,army bill, the anarchy ' bill, and the Dick, militia bill portends-what they will do. What does free silver or any thing else amount to when we face a proposition" like that? If The Inde pendent should take the advice of Mr. Thorpe, it would go into bankruptcy in less than six weeks. Mr. Thorpe being an Englishman, " cannot appre ciate the love 'Of liberty jand venera tion - that some Americans have for the Declaration - of Independence and the sympathy that they have, for all republics a3 against monarchies.! Ed. Ind.) ' .. . OVERPRODUCTION SWEET PRUNE PLUM. In September, 1901, Mr. E. D. Ham mond, proprietor of the Norfolk Nur sery, picked three bushels of plums from a single sweet prune plum tree in his orchard. The tree was but five years old. It began bearing when two years old. This is the only kind of prune plum that has been a success In Nebraska. It has endured the drouth of '93 and '94 and the hard winter of " 99. It is a grand success for northwestern Nebraska. Those desiring FRUIT TREES or SEED POTATOES should write for full particulars and free catalogue to E. D. Hammond, proprietor Norfolk Mr. Wllshlre Wants the Independent to Explain the Difference Between Populism and Socialism Editor Independent: I have noticed with interest that you are devoting considerable attention to socialism in your journal. In your editorial in your issue of March 15 I see that you state quite clearly the difference be tween populism and socialism. You say the populists believe in the public ownership of railways, telegraphs, and everything in which competition is im possible, whereas socialists believe in national ownership of all the means of production. You of course take the populistic stand. Without at this time going into the relative merits of populism and socialism, as above de fined, I would call your attention to one fact which, as far as I have seen, you have entirely omitted in your dis cussion of populism and socialism, and that is, that the socialist theory is based not only upon the desirability of socialism, but upon the economic inevitability 4 of it that is, that even if socialism were not desirable it is economically an Inevitability anyway, says the socialist. He arrives at this conclusion because the competitive wage system prevents the capital which Is produced every year from be ing' fully distributed to the workers and therefore it is steadily" accumulat ing In the hands of Its owners, the capitalists. f This accumulation of capi tal naturally will finally produce a condition in which the capitalist must prevent further accumulation; other wise so much will be produced that none of it will be valuable. In Ne braska if a farmer produces more wheat than the market can absorb, the price of . the surplus determines the price of the whole, and he loses money on the whole crop. Similarly with the capitalist when more capital is pro duced than the market can absorb, the surplus determines the value of the whole, and none of It is .worth any thing. Now, the moment capital be comes worthless, owing to overproduc tion, that moment does the capitalist say to the workman: "I don't care to employ you any longer, because your labor is valueless to me for the reason that what you produce is valueless." Hence occurs an unemployed problem. Of .course, from the workingman's standpoint populism promises but lit tle in comparison with socialism, and you, as the editor of a populist paper, can readily say that you are not look ing after the workingman as muchas you are arier me iarmer, ana that you naturally, are advocating something which is to the benefit of the people vrn ronrAiont , ,. Wftwairoi.! O iron tii, ployed problem, as the result of over production, which I have presented, you will see that the farmer himself will be unable to sell his crops if the working-men are unemployed and can not buy them. ; Hoping that -you may find space to publish this letter, with your com ments upon the same, I am, yours faithfully,, , H. GAYLORD WILSHIRE. Toronto, Canada ;'. (It has always seemed to The Inde pendent that the fundamental error of socialism is the doctrine of "over production." The argument that Mr. Wilshire makes is based upon that proposition. That error has run all through the works of a certain school of political economists for nearly a hundred years economists who were not socialists as well as those who were. If it is granted that there, can be such a thing as overproduction, then, of course, Mr. Wilshire is right. But the . premise is not granted. The Independent takes issue upon it. That has been the doctrine of the republi can party, the trades unions of Eng land and of the trusts. Mr. Wilshire goes even farther than any of these and says that there can be an over production of capital. The Indepen der. t hoi Je that such a thing as over production is an impossibility until every want of every man and woman is supplied. When all persons have all the yachts, palaces, adornments, carriages, automobiles, parks, pic tures, and , everything else that they desire find there are some of these things left over that no one wants there will be overproduction and not before. This whole article rests upon the use of the term "value." "So much will be produced that none of it will be valuable," says Mr. Wilshire. Now value is human estimation placed upon desirallc objects the amount of which Is limited. There is no such thing as an unlimited production of anything and until there is, things will have value. 1 he "price" will depend upon the volume of money in circulation. If it is true that the workers of this nation can produce more wealth than the peop'.e want, then socialism rests upon the right basis. The concentra tion cf wealth in few hands is not the result of overproduction. It is the re sult of 1hc granting of special priv ileges, and gifts to the rich. The Van derbilt fortune was made a gift to him by the representatives of the people. Tha gift of the-franchise of the New York Central and Hudson River rail road alone was a donation of over $100,000,000. Other gifts of like na ture are the foundation of most of the great fortunes and the cause of the concentration of wealth in few hands. Social privileges not granted to other shippers, is the foundation of the Rockefeller fortune. ; But the great objection to socialism is that it is impracticable, (The gov ernmental Control of all production is an impossibility.' One supply house in New; York -offers for sale 170,000 dif-: ferent articles. What government bu reau could by any possibility provide for the production of all these articles and always have a supply' on hand? And these 170,000 ; articles are but a small part of the things that enter into the commerce of that city alone. For the production of many of them careful arrangements have to be made years in advance. What government officer having no personal interest in the production of these things would or could look after all of them? Such ability is so far above anything that: any man has ever exhibited that It appears to The Independent unreason able. expect it "under, socialism." The Independent would be glad to print a letter from Mr.' Wilshire ex plaining how "under socialism" as Mr. Wayland says, such difficulties as these are to be overcome. In the years that are passed, it has often asked Mr. Wayland and other socialists to tell how it could be done, but not one of them ever accepted the invitation. Will Mr. Wilshire attempt it? Ed. Ind.) GRIP'S LEGACY He's a Socialist Editor Independent: I have re ceived several copies of The Indepen dent, but cannot conscientiously sub scribe for It. My reasons are: First, you advocate the government owner ship of railroads; this would be in the interest of middle-class farmers, but the working class would not be materially benefitted thereby. Sec ondly, the populist party is ready to fuse with the democrats at any time. The democratic party is a capitalist, party and as deadly an enemy of the working class as is the republican par ty. Thirdly, all the great industries have reached or are reaching the mon opoly state. In view of this fact, the public ownership of the tools of pro duction and distribution and the means of communication and trans portation Is the only solution of the problem. This you do not advocate. You are against the trusts. Even if it were possible to abolish "the trusts, - wage slavery would still exist. - As Jong as there are two classes in society, a working class and an Idle class a wealthy class and a poor class there will always be class legislation. I have lately taken up the study of so cialism and have subscribed for the daily People, official organ of the so cialist labor party the only party that stands for the interests of the working class, worthy of consideration. In future I-shall vote for the socialist party. ROBERT McDONOUGH. Fort Worth, Tex. (Mr. McDonough's classification of Eoclety Is certainly not an ideal one. His ' "working class" seems to be synonymous with a "propertyless class." What is the farmer but a workingman? Isn't the small mer chant a workingman? Yes, public ownership of the rail roads would be a benefit to the "middle-class farmers," but it would also be a benefit to Mr. McDonough's "working class" as well. - The work ingmen employed by the govern ment , In operating the rail roads would stand on a par with our postal employes now; their pay would be good, hours reasonable, and term of employment secure. The working class generally would be benefitted by the resulting l lower freight and passenger rates; ;no one can doubt that.' -v,:!". How the After-Effects off This Disease flay be Driven Away ., Mr. Robert G. Yates, of No. 55 Clark street, Dubuque, Iowa, was left miser able with the after-effects of the grip until be took Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. They restored him to perfect health. He tells the story as follows: "I was taken with the grip on Christ mast Eve, 1890, and suffered f 1 om it for three months. , When I was over that, it left me a physical wreck. I was restless and sleepless, with con stant pains in my limbs. I fell away in flesh, lost my appetite, was tired out for no reason, and became general ly miserable. : 4 "Finally, when things . were look ing pretty blue. for me, one day I no ticed a piece in the paper about a man living in Kansas who had been cured of a somewhat similar complaint of some years' standing, by the use of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo ple. So I decided to try them. I felt better before I finished one box. I kept on taking them and they Cured me. Now I am past sixty-three years of age; I enjoy perfect health and, thanks to Dr. Williams' Pink ' Pills, I can do a good . day's work again. I am as hale and hearty as many men much younger than I, have a splendid appetite and can go to sleep a few minutes after retiring. ; "I might also add that before I be gan taking Dr. Williams Pink Pills I had suffered for about seventeen years with rheumatism, but L have not felt any of It since. They are a wonder ful medicine and I have no doubt but that they saved my life." With each recurring epidemic of the grip it is more evident that the dis ease leaves' in its wake a train of stub born ailments that often baffle the skill of physicians. Loss of flesh, thin blood, nervousness, shortness of breath, exhaustion after slight exer tionso that It is often difficult to walk up stairs these are a few of the symptoms of after-effects of the grip. More serious results often follow and grip has come to be regarded as the highroad to pneumonia, bronchitis and even consumption. Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People are sold by all dealers or will be sent postpaid: on receipt of price, fifty cents a box; six boxes for two dollars, and a half, by addressing Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. x reaching the monopoly state. No great industry has reached or will reach that state without enjoying some sort of special privileges. Special privileges may arise either by public favoritism or private favoritism. The railroads, national banks, etc., enjoy" special privileges arising from public acts public laws. On the other: hand, the Standard - Oil trust, for example owes its existence and power largely to pri vate favoritism;..., that is to say, the railroads . giveJiffi - secret rebates in freight sufficient to kill off practically all competition v, JHere ... in Nebraska this trust ! hasa Secondary advantage in the oil inspection law an example of public favoritism given . Indirectly. Monopoly is "that substantial unity of action' on the part of one or more persons engaged in some kind of busi ness which gives;them-exclusive con trol . . . with respect to price." Agri culture Is certainly one of the great industries, but it has not become mo nopolized. There1 Is no substantial unity of action on v the part of the farmers. They have no exclusive con trol over the price of their products. Even the steel trust, big as it Is, lacks something of being a complete monop olyit has competitors. Take: away the .protective tariff special privilege it enjoys and it would not be so dan gerous. Mere mass of capital does not constitute monopoly there must be unity of , action and control of price. Take away the special privileges and let competition in that is The Inde pendent's platform. Ed. .Ind.) SOCIAL PRECEDENCE It Occupies the Energies of the Adminis tration Generml Miles Creates a Sea satlonftllver In the Philippines Washington, Di 6., March 24, 1902. (Special . Correspondence.) Congress is accomplishing results this session, even if it. cannot, be said that in all cases these, results are beneficent. A number'. of the big supply bills have been passed: earlier than in. many years. 3 The compromise irrigation bill has passed the senate, 'while its fate in the house is merely conjectural. The bill as drawn apportions the benefits to be derived from irrigation projects to the ? inter-mountain states and will have the effect of depriving Nebraska, Kansas and other prairie states of the natural flow of inter-state streams. The only solution of the problem rests in national control, rather than state ccntrol as proposed by the bill, and it is. the purpose of the fusion members from Nebraska to attempt to have the bill so amended in order that Ne braska's interests may be protected and the revenue derived from the sale of public lands in Nebraska be devoted to irrigation improvements within the borders of our own commonwealth. Debate .in the senate this week brings Out the statement, important if true, that Senator Hoar's speeches are standard authority in the Philip pines rnd are responsible for the keep ing alive of the insurrectionist spirit. Think of the speeches of a republi can senator, a thick-and-thln admin istrationist, inspiring men to fire on the American flag and fostering re bellion to American; authority! And yet it is so claimed by a republican senator."' ; v.- --: The president must perforce secure the services of a ready letter writer and an appropriation for the purpose HEADACHE kl rit rui "J la not impossible. So many resigna tions are being sent in 'these, days that the dictionary ia being exhausted for adjectives to express the presiden tial regret (?) of their severance of official relations with the government. Roosevelt Is a candidate for re-election. Federal officeholders unfavora ble to the v, Roosevelt candidacy will find it convenient to resign and ob viate the necessity for summary dis missal. Washington people devote consider able irore attention to the question of official precedence and social eti quette, than they do to the mature and sober things of life. Secretary of State Hay is frequently called upon to play the role of arbiter and is just r.o w engaed in a delicate task of this sort. At the McKInley memorial ex ercise a the members of the supreme court cf the United States were ac corded positions of honor in advance of the ambassadors from foreign coun tries. Britifih Ambassador Pauncefote objected to. this arrangement and has made "? cp resentations" to the dis tinguished British sympathizer who officiates as premier in the Roosevelt cabinet. Hay is inclined to agree with Pauncefote, and so small and insigni ficant a personage as a supreme judge must "go away back and sit down" ,when a. representative of royalty does a gathering of any sort the distin guished honor of being present there at! A- As an echo of. the administration's persecution of Admiral Schley, a dozen or more resolutions have been intro duced in congress to do justice to the hero of Santiago bay. The house com mittee on naval affairs has refused by a strict party vote . to report any of these Measures for passage. Every re publican on the committee voted to sustain the action of the president and the naval court of inquiry. , Every democrat voted to report a measure that wiii allow each branch of con gress to express Its sentiments on the question and show to the country proper appreciation of Schley's ser vices. The pleading of the congres sional minority for justice to Schley ha been in vain. The administration lash has whipped the recalcitrants in to line with the damnable cabal of the naval clique of checker-board strategists and tea-party fighters. Secretary Root has urged the pass age of a bill drafted by, war depart ment officials the purpose of which is to vest in bureaus and councils the direction of the war powers and ob viates the necessity for an executive head of the army other than the presi dent. General Miles was called before the senate committee on military af fairs, Thursday, and asked his opinion In confidence of the proposed measure. He denounced it as subversive of dis cipline and the intelligent direction of war authority and intimated that its passRge would bring about a condition such" as that obtaining in the navy de partment, which is so repugnant to all sense of decency and fairness and has been largely responsible for the Schley persecution. Miles' testimony before the commit tee has created a sensation and the president is considering a purpose to dismiss " him from - the service; the cabinet meeting Friday dealing entire ly with the propriety of the course. The breach between Roosevelt and Miles is a wide one, beginning with Miles' comment on the . Schley case and later his offer to go to the Phil ippines to prosecute the war and his uummary rebuke by the president in each case. - The best opinions on the subject to be had agree that the administration course tends to persecution of Mile and resentment is nearly as deep as in the case of Schley. The fact that Miles and Schley are both democrats and that each Is a recognized brave fighter, coupled with the fact that the president studiously plays politics, ex plains fully the situation as It now is. The decision of the United States supreme court holding that the Illi nois anti-trust statute is unconstitu tional, has the effect of declaring the unconstitutionality of anti-trust laws in thirteen of the states, of which Ne braska is one. The court based its decision on the ground that agricul tural products and live stock were ex empted from the law's provisions. This decision ought to arouse the people ta a sense of the futility of at tempting to cope with private corpora tions under present conditions and the necessity for action that will intel ligently and fully repress the tendency of the modern trust to absorb every trade and industry and force tribute from the people. The republican plan of attempting to distinguish between good and bad trusts is capable of but one applica tion so long as the republicans re main in power their vision, will be de fective in the ratio that contributions are made to the republican campaign fund. '. Do the American people really de sire relief? Passivity and inactivity will not bring it. ..... Secretary Hay refuses to offer any explanation for his refusal to grant passports to the man and wife who offered their services to ameliorate the appalling condition of the Boer pris oners In Great Britain's murder camps In South Africa. King Edward's rep resentative in the state department can give attention to the details of an embassy to dance attendance upon a court function, but a humane appeal from an oppressed people falls on ears that are deaf and a heart steeled against justice. By all the shades of the departed, the most surprising proposition late ly coming from republicans is the proposition to place the monetary sys tem of the Philippine islands on a silver basis. An agent of the Philippine commis sion has appeared before the senate cor-nittee to discuss the matter and declares that the gold standard is in advisable. Members of the committee agree with him. "A gold currency Is expensive and hard to maintain." That is treason to all the republican campaign speeches since 1896! - "A straight silver dollar Is merely continuing the present currency and is best for the country and for trade." An insult to the advocates of "hon est money" and open rebellion against the sacred guardians of our "national hrttiftrf" who understand the financial ques tion in the name of the trust mag nates and the cultured aristocracy of the east they who enjoy a monopoly of all the patriotism and the brains in the country and who fight its battles in time of war and direct its maini fold energies in time of peace let me protest against this wanton desecra tion of the principles of "sound finance and business confidence!" H. W. RISLEY. THE OLD GUARD Ralph Lewis, of Lutes, Keya Paha county, sends in renewal of his sub scription and for four new subscribers in New York state. He says: "I am one of the old guard. Was in the con vention that nominated J. B. Weaver at Chicago in 1880; voted for Greeley in 1872 and Peter Cooper in 1876; was in the convention at Lincoln in XS90 when the people's independent party wss iormed, when John H. Powers was l.orainated for governor; and at the Omaha national convention that nom inated Weaver for president in 1892. "I had the good luck to hear the speech of Thaddeus Stevens on the greenback bill In .the house of repre sentatives in the winter of '61 and '62, when, he told that body that the ex ception clause in the bill would cost the leople of the United States ten times the amount it would take to put down the rebellion. I also heard Peter Cooper say in a private conversation that within 50 years the people would entirely uo away with corporations; that was in 1876. "The corporations will try and elect a democrat president the next time if one is rominated to suit their pur poses. Then look out for hard times we will have times equal to '73. His Buccessor will be a republican. By that time the mask will be thrown off and if the people have any liberty they will have to fight for it. Such is the program of the aristocrats; and such being the fact, the populist party must keep Its organization and strengthen its lines in every state where it can. It will be the only re fuge for the people when the crisis comes." , HAWNESSoup' HORSE COLLARS ..iriilhior-eHieBecMK, sh a n)KY MM OUR Dealer to SHOWTi BEFORE YOU BUY.
