FOILED DEATH
Doctors Told Mrs. Wake That She
Was 'Doomed to Quick Con
sumption Cured by
Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills.
To He at the point of death for
months, to be told by the physician
that there la no hope of recovery an.i
then to be restored to health and
strength by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale People, was the experience of
Mrs. W. H. Wake, of No. 84 Broad
street, Rahway, N. J. To look at her
now one would think it hardly possl
ble that she had ever had a serious
Illness. Speaking of It she says:
"About three years ago I was In
a condition generally known as run
down. I was miserable indeed ; life
less and languid. I had no strength at
all, all desire for food had left me, I
was terribly nervous and could not
sleep. What was worse I did not Im
prove, and my weight went down from
135 pounds to 96. I was under the
care of a physician for thirteen
months but still I grew worse. He
said my blood had almost turned to
water. I was so weak that I was
obliged to lie down all the time; if I
tried to stand or even to sit" up I
would faint away.
"Finally the doctor told me that un
less I began to get better within two
weeks I was doomed to quick con
sumption. Then I gave up all hope.
"But about this time a friend, who
knew something of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People, advised me to
try them. I did so and, after taking
the third box, I began to feel better.
I continued using them faithfully un
til I was cured. Dr. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People are a wonderful
remedy for persons afflicted as I was
and I shall always recommend them."
The disease from which Mrs. Wake
suffered was anaemia. It is charac
terized by a palid complexion, pale
Hps, dull eyes, tongue and gums
bloodless; shortened breath on slight
exertion such as going upstairs; pal
pitation of the heart, feeling of im
pending death, weakness, loss of ap
petite and ambition; irregularity and
pain in the natural functions of wo
men. The only remedy that has proved it
self a specific for anaemia is Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.
They are sold at 50 cents a box or six
boxes for $2.50, and may be had of
all druggists or direct by mail from
Dr. Williams' Medicine Company,
Schenectady, N. Y.
Populist Prosperity
(Continued from Page One.)
V
prived of their power to hurt, and then
of life itself. It is unnecessary and
disastrous even to abolish the tariffs
on trust goods, whether those tariffs
are put up for revenue only, or rev
enue and protection, especially since
the trust goods have grown to such an
enormous amount. Nothing is better
established by experience than that
tariffs should be stable, that is, not
subject to frequent or unlooked for
changes, so that manufacturers and
wholesalers may not fear to stock up
largely.
By an abundant money circulation
Americans would fast recover their
lost merchant marine without any
government subsidy, and this fourteen
billion of foreign debts as also some
billions of home debts would cease to
grow and be put into process of fast
payment.
The railroad and telegraph corpo
rations, made up mainly of foreign
stockholders, pay high salaries to their
officers for their skill in defrauding the
people and thus . making large divi
dends of profit, and the people are
made to pay both the high salaries and
the large dividends. An abundant
money circulation, such as necessary
to give the aforesaid English pros
perity, would enable the government
to say to the railroad and telegraph
companies, we will give you so much
for your respective lines, and pay you
in newly issued full legal tender paper
money, or otherwise we will build new
lines thus and so and run them at cost
of running. In this way the govern
ment would fast become the owner of
the American railroads and telegraphs
as the populist platform calls for, the
people would get the benefit of them
for about half the present expense, and
we would get rid of this pernicious
foreign influence meddling in our do
mestic affairs.
THE REASON WHY.
The reason an abundance of money
circulation is so all powerful to worn
all the foregoing results is that by its
abundance it has a very great power
and tendency to create competition in
all business, which is the direct and
death-dealing antagonist to monopoly
and is the one great leveler to main
tain fairness in business and protect
the weak against the strong.
, HOW MUCH PER CAPITA WILL IT
TAKE?
The report of the treasury depart
ment for the first of this month, April,
1902, states a per capita circulation of
$28.50. The actual circulation 13 not
more than about $25 per capita. If the
populist party should come into pow
er, I expect it would increase the cir
culation as early as convenient to $50
per capita at least, and then to give the
country that measure of English pros
perity of 1797 to 1519, and achieve
the results above stated. I think it
would require the circulation to be
increased from time to time as ex
pedient to about $75 per capita.
The populist platform also requires
the doing away with the national
banks and a substitution of full legal
tender government paper money in
circulation to take the place of na
tional bank notes, which will be an
Immense saving to the people from
the expensiveness of our present monk
ey system. And the democratic plat
form harmonizes with the populist
platform in the requirement of doing
away the national banks.
A WORD TO OUR DEMOCRATIC
FRIENDS.
Falrbury, Jefferson Count, Nebras
ka, March 22, 1902. This is to certify
that Marvin Warren of this city has
been an earnest supporter of every
democratic, populist, fusion ticket,
national, state and county, that has
been voted here since such fusion vot-
Ing was inaugurated years ago.
" 'f::;. W. F. CRAMB,
Chairman of the People's Party Count
ty ' Central Committee of Said
County. . '' .- - - . - -. i
F. A. CARMONY,
Secretary of the Same.
To You, the Friendly Democracy:
Allow me to say, I think the above
showing entitles me to a short, ret
tpectf ul hearing by you. For ages
past plutocracy has enslaved the
world, and the leading rudiment In
their science of enslavement has been
and Is coin redemption of paper mon
ey. You think if you come into pow
er, you will first restore silver to free
coinage at 16 to 1, and that then coin
redemption will lose its power to en
slave. I beg leave to say this is your
fatal mistake. , It will make no ma
terial' difference in that respect, al
though I am for the free coinage and
always have been.
But bear in mind, please, that in
1865 when Secretary of the Treasury
McCulloch began bis terrible contrac
tion of our currency we had free coin
age of silver at 16 to 1 and had It for
31 years next previous. And yet, even
with the free coinage of silver a most
terrible contraction had to be made
in order to get the coin redemption.
Here is what the secretary said in his
December report, 1865, Just after com
mencing the contraction: "The first
thing to be done is to establish the
policy of contraction. When this is
effected, the secretary believes that
the business of the country will read
ily accommodate itself to the proposed
change In the action of the govern
ment and that specie payments may
be restored without a shock to trade."
That contraction went on most of
the time for seven and a half years, all
in time of free and unlimited coinage
of silver at 16 to 1, in which time the
currency was contracted about $1,200,
000,000, all for the avowed purpose of
coming to specie payments, but with
specie payments apparently as far
away as ever.
Your platform adopted at Chicago
in 1896, reaffirmed and indorsed at
Kansas City in 1900, requires that all
paper money "shall be issued by the
government of the United States, and
shall be redeemable In coin." The
British plutocrats virtually own and
control all the coin In this country now
and will for years to come, free silver
to the contrary notwithstanding. If
your party goes Into power and ad
heres to that platform provision, yu
will never be able to increase the
money circulation one dollar unless by
the voluntary permission of the British
plutocracy. And the probability is
that the British American plutocracy
will co-operate In such management
of the coin, keeping it from you to
such extent as to run the circulation
much lower than it is now, just to
show the people how little we demo
pops do know.
Moreover, your 'platform does not
state that all paper money shall be a
legal tender to pay all debts, public
and private, as it should state to make
sure that it will not depreciate below
the parity of coin.
Hon. Champ Clark says that the
Philippine question is the most Impor
tant subject now before the American
people. He is mistaken. The object
that our government had in getting in
upon the Filipinos and treating them
as it has in a manner, not only uncon
stitutional, but barbarous, uncivilized
and inhuman, was, and still is, to force
upon them this same coin redemption
slavery that we are under here. Let
us get the control and emancipate our
selves from it in the home country
first, then surely we will have the
power and excellent facilities to do
justice to the Filipinos.

OLD LINE INSURANCE
Mr. Taylor Relate His Experience With
the Kind ef Insurance "Oh Do.in't
Hare to Dlt to Beat"
Editor Independent: I may be tread
ing on forbidden ground; but I have
had an experience in life insurance
lately, that I think is of interest to the
general public as there is nothing peo
ple are more interested in that life
insurance, and few things for which
so 'much money is annually expended.
The hope that others may benefit by
my experience Is my only excuse for
writing.
About ten years ago, while consid
ering the relative merits of old line
and fraternal life insurance, an agent
of the Mutual Life of New York called
on me, and, while sounding the
praises of his own company, made all
manner of sport of fraternal Insurance
called it "graveyard insurance, that
one has to die to beat," and said "he
represented a company that all a per
son had to do was live to win," etc.
He offered me a joint policy of $5,000
each, for myself and wife, on the 20
year distribution plan, for an annual
premium of $266.50, till my wife
reached the age of 48, however, an ex
tra risk (maternity risk he called it)
of $25 per year would be charged,
making a yearly payment of $291.50.
If we both, lived, at the end of 20
years, he assured me, we would get
back all the money we paid with at
least 4 per cent (perhaps 4 per cent)
compound interest added, nearly $8,
000. He also assured me that after
three payments were made the policy
would have , a cash relinquishment
value, would be as good as a govern
ment bond and negotiable at any
bank. If either of us died In the mean
time the survivor would receive $5,
000 and the policy lapsed. The In
vestment plan caught me, and I did
n-t care much about the amount of
yearly payment, so long as I was sure
of it all coming back. with Interest.
I took out such a policy dated Feb
ruary 1, 1892, and for ten years paid
them annually on that date $291.50,
which, with interest, would have been
worth to me about . $5,000. I often
thought I ought to have something
more than the agent's say-so, for the
amount I would receive at the end of
20 years, and when I received - state
ment for the eleventh payment and It
was still for $291.50, (I was 44 years
old when the policy was taken out, and
my wife lacked 26 days of being 38) I
thought It a good opportunity to find
out what kind of people I was dealing
with, so I called their attention to the
fact that the $25 should no longer be
required, as my . wife only lacked 26
days of required age. if they Insisted,
however, I was willing to , pay pro
rate, but; there could be no good rea
son for me paying an extra $25 for a
26 days' risk, f I also cited them to the
fact that all reputable companies had
long since realized that there was no
such thing as a maternity risk, and it
was no longer charged by any com
pany, not even the Mutual Life, and as
I had already paid them $250 for a
risk that never had any existence,
they could afford to put a liberal con
struction on the matter, I also in
sisted on knowing the amount (ap
proximately) I could expect at the ena
of 20 years. My letter, sent to Omaha,
was referred to Des Moines,. la.-, and
from there to a man bearing the class
lc name of McCurdy, in New York. Mr.
McCurdy was so busy taking photos
of the million dollar check his com
pany had to pay the heirs of Mr. Pea
vy that It was a long time before my
little matter received any attention.
When the answer finally came it was
to the effect that he was sorry ( I can
see the great tears rolling down his
cheeks) but as I had been getting my
Insurance so cheap (Ye Gods) he
would have to Insist on me paying the
$291,50 this year also. After another
long wait I was finally informed that
if I kept on paying for 20 years- I
would be sure of getting $2,215.16 with
a chance of a "rake-off" out of some
imaginary profits.
To say that I was indignant but
feebly expresses it. I felt that I had
been "buncoed" by false representa
tions and I determined I would pav
them no more money, that I might
better lose what I had paid than have
any further dealings with them. I
wrote them asking the cash surrender
value of my policy: I was told it had
none. I then asked the cash value
(no more payments made) at the end
of 20 years, they had no offer to make.
To my charges of false representa
tion on the part of their agent, they
never intimated that he had exceeded
his authority, so that I take it he was
acting under instructions in the prom
ises he made; but in every case, they
referred me, with cold-blooded Shy
lock brevity, to the wording of my
policy. As the policy says but little,
and that so worded that it is capable
of various constructions, I sent it in
for them to do with as they chose, and
I have it now with an indorsement
that some one will be entitled to $1,
507 after I am gone. How is that for
"graveyard insurance?" Had I gone
into one of the fraternal insurance
companies, at the same time, and my
wife joined an auxiliary society, we
would have had $4,000 protection at
a yearly cost of $32 to $35; but sup
pose it had cost $41.50, this would
have left $250 a year to invest as a
reserve fund for old age, This in 20
years at 10 per cent would have
amounted to $15,750; at 7 per cent
nearly $11,000, instead of $2,215.16,
and the protection only $1,000 less;
for you notice, $5,000 is all the New
York Mutual could have had to pay,
even if we both had died inside of the
20 years. Tha amount of premium I
was paying the insurance company, if
kept up for 20 years, would have
amounted to $18,364 at 10 per cent:
$12,826 at 7 per cent, and $9,021 even at
4 per cent, and in return I was to re
ceive the munificent sum of $2,215.16.
and yet they say I was getting cheap
insurance.
The only reason these people can
get any business, the only reason they
are allowed to do business in the state
is because people don't stop to figure
the enormous profits they make (the
victims are generally dead before set
tlement, and so there is no "kick"). If
the prospective victims of these
smooth-tongued gentry would figure
with a dollar paid in each year for 20
years, would amount to at, say 7 per
cent, they never would invest; for In
stance, one dollar a year for 20 years
at 7 per cent amounts to $43.87, mul
tiply this by the amount of yearly
premium asked, and you will be sur
prised at the result. Some one has
said, "The American people love to
be humbugged." That this is true, and
also that there is more truth than
poetry in the following doggerel:
"Great fleas have little fleas upon their
backs to bite 'em,
And little fleas have lesser fleas, and
so ad infinitum."
is proved by the fact that the Mutual
Life Insurance company of New York
is securing an extra amount of busi
ness by exhibiting the photographic
copies of a million dollar check given
to pay a loss they incurred by the
death of Peavy, the elevator king of
the northwest, in less than two years
after the policy was taken out. Now
If people simply insured for protection,
it would be well to be in a company
that was able to pay a million dollars
on the death of one man; but as nine
out of ten insure as an investment of
some kind, I. e., insure and expect to
share in profits; such a transaction
ought to prevent them getting any
business. Thinking men will doubt the
business sagacity of any company, that
will insure any man's life for a mil
lion dollars. It required all the mon
ey they got out of me, and all their
other victims in Nebraska for a long
time, to make up what they lost on
this deal, without leaving any profits
to be divided. Fraternal Insurance
companies wisely restrict the amount
any one may carry, as the incentive to
beat the company is less. Had Mr.
Peavy expected to live to a good old
age, he never would have paid a
premium of $38,000 a year on his life.
As It was he paid two premiums and
his heirs collected a million dollars
of the mutual life people. Profligates
who live fast and die early, and men
who by over-attention to business
s" orten their lives are the only, bene
ficiaries of old line insurance, and they
are poor risks, and these losses are
paid by the ordinary steady going citi
zen who i3 fool enough to make up the
deficit. The man who has squandered
his inheritance, perhaps that of his
wife, when he . has strong inward
promptings, that the candle he has
been burning at both ends will soon
go out,, or perhaps has a "tip" from
his physician that he is threatened
with an Incurable disease, as a last
resort takes out all the insurance he
can carry, pays a few premiums and
the chapter is ended. :
Since writing the above a young
man from Omaha carrying a Mutual
Life policy told me he had a policy
that was good at any bank. I told
him. what I now say to anyone hav
ing that kind of a policy, "Just take
it to a bank and see how much cash
you can get for it without any other
security." Another Omaha man tells
me he has a friend who has a 20-year
policy maturing in June and he Is cer-
tain of . getting all the money he paid

LIVE STOCK EXPOSITION
Preliminary Work Being- Don for Third
International Lire Stock
Exposition.
The Independent is in receipt of an
announcement from Mr. W. E. Skin
ner, at Union Stock Yards, Chicago,
relative to the Third International
Live Stock Exposition, which may be
of interest to live stock growers of the
central and western states. Mr, Skin
ner states that plans have been made
for the erection of a handsome three
story ;brick building on Exchange
avenue, "to be dedicated to the needs
of the live stock record associations
of the continent." The announcement
follows:
Editor Independent: For reasons
which were deemed to be In the best
interest of the future of the Interna
tional Live Stock Exposition, a meet
ing of the executive committee to pass
upon the classification for the 1902
exposition was delayed until the end of
last week, and the management now
announces that the preliminary work
of the third exposition has been ful
ly completed, and from universal in
formation obtained the exposition this
year will come nearer filling the orig
inal intent then either of its prede
cessors, especially in point of quality
and preparation of stock and Its en
tire educational environment.
The business interests of the city of
Chicago have become aroused to the
value of the exposition.
The breeding associations will be
found by the classification to be tak
ing hold of the exposition with more
vigor along the line of live stock im
provement throughout the country, !n
lact, such an awakening has there
been that the third exposition will
surprise even those who have becomo
familiar with its greatness by a visit
to the two former expositions.
The executive committee have sub
stituted the following for rule 66 in
last year's classification: "The ages
of breeding cattle shall be computed
from the 1st day of September Tor
senior classes and from the 1st day of
January for junior classes, and from
the 1st day of September for steer
classes and sheep and swine." In rule
68 a change was made where the words
appear "Such cows must have pro
duced a matured calf," the word "ma
tured" will read "living," which does
away with a good deal of last year's
objections. ,
The large beef breeds have put less
money on their breeding divisions for
this exposition than for the former,
putting more money in the fat divi
sions and carloads, This is the direc
tion in which the encouragement of
the exposition is needed. The exposi
tion therefore eliminates the fourth
premium in . the breeding division of
the larger associations and the sec
ond premium from the Devons, taking
the money and increasing the steer
premiums in all the breeds and grades
and crosses proportionately, creating
an additional class in the Grand
Champion of a lot of three Grand
Champions of the show with a prem
ium of $100. . The carcass premiums
are increased and a class added.
Free Martins, or barren cows, will
not be accepted this year for entry, in

Hardy's Column.
The fact that every millionaire east
of the Mississippi is fighting Bryan Is
conclusive evidence that he stands
with and for the common people, such
opposition 6peaks volumes for the
man and the doctrines he advocates.
We despise standing with millionaires
as much as we did standing with slave
drivers. '
We never have heard so much about
labor strikes as at the present time.
It must be the effect of republican
prosperity.
What would your property sell for
is the only question an assessor
should ask. Every valuation should
be assessed at its selling value. Neith
er cost value or renting value should
Influence the assessor one penny.
What the property is worth, and no
dividing it into tangible or franchise
portions should be the rule.
Equal suffrage has been extended to
women in Australia so far as electing

Bixby ought to go over there and rip

We hear of many cases of heart
failure In these days. The heart al

doctors to call it heart failure when
they do not know, the cause of death.

Some republicans express fears that
the Cubans will fall out with each
other and commence fighting just as
we did in the early sixties. That is
generally the case with mean men.
They do not like to have other people
duplicate their own meanness. That
is one of the strongest arguments
against letting the Filipinos govern
themselves. They will go to fighting
each other, say imperialists, as soon
as we stop fighting them.

Susan, why don't you marry? There
are lots of men who would jump at a
chance to marry me, but If they should
ask me to marry them I should jump
the other way. I can support myself
and I am not inclined to support a
man for the sake of having a husband.
Most of . the men drink, chew and
smoke. I never will. marry such ruin

If the two state conventions are
wise they will not ignore the import
ance of encouraging our home life In
surance companies and other home
enterprises. It will be folly for the
nominee for auditor of either party to
overlook the strength of the home mu
tual companies. They are close to the
people, as are also the stipulated
premium and old-line organizations
which are striving to build up their
business in Nebraska.
THE INSURANCE DEPARTMENT
must not be an adjunct of the alien
life insurance trust or any foreign
system of indemnity. Allen institu
tions seeking the privilege should be
treated fairly, but when they devote
themselves to the destruction of our
own companies they should be invited
to seek new fields.

has an advisory board in nearly every
county in Nebraska. It is close to the
hearts of the people. The state needs
just such an institution as this young,
successful Omaha company. Men In
public offices who are hostile to home
enterprises will be retired to private
life and candidates for office should
not overlook the importance of thl3
statement.
B, H. ROBINSON, PRESIDENT
of the Bankers Reserve Life Associa

great club for home protection. Ia
nearly v every county ' its advisory
boards are composed of the very best
of our citizens. They are loyal to the
home and will not tolerate malignant
attacks upon home institutions. It la

important matter.
