L : . 'mm-- i. " I v':S EE J . B . Crowley. Hon. Joseph B. Crowley, Congressman from Illinois, writes from Robinson, 111., the following praise for the great catarrhal tonic, Peruna. Congressman Crowley says: 'After giving Peruna a fair trial I can cheerfully recommend your remedy to anyone suffering with coughs, colds and la grippe, end all catarrhal complaints, "Mrs. Crowley has taken a number of bottles of Peruna on account of nervous troubles. It has proven a strong tonic and last ing cure. 1 can cheerfully recommend it."-J. B. CROWLEY. No other remedy invented by man has over received as much prai3e from men of high station a3 Peruna. Over forty members of Congress have tried it and recommended it to suffering humanity. They use it themselves to guard against the effects of the intense strain of public life ; to ward off the ill effects of the changeable climate of Washington. They keep it in their homes for family use. They recommend it to their neigh bors, and they do not hesitate in public print to declare their appreciation and endorsement of this greatest of modern remedies. It is exactly as Congressman Crowley says : " Peruna is a swift and sure rem edy for coughs, colds and la grippe and all catarrhal complaints. It is an excel lent remedy in all nervous troubles. It never fails to prove itself a powerful tonic and a lasting cure." This is what Congressman Crowley says, and this is what thousands of other people are say ing all over the United States. Congressman Eomulus Z. Linney from Taylorsville,N. C, writes: "My secre tary had as bad 'a case 'of catarrh as I ever saw, and since he has taken one bottle of Peruna he seems like a different man." Romulus Z. Linney. Congressman A. T. Goodwyn, Robin son Springs, Ala., writes: "I have now used one bottle of Peruna and am a well man today A. T. Goodwyn. U. S. Senator W. N. Roach from Lari more, N. D., writes :' I have used Pe runa as a tonic. It has greatly helped me in strength, vigor and appetite." Congressman II. W. Ogden from Ben ton, La., writes : " I can conscientiously recommend your Peruna." H. W. Ogden. Congressman H. W. Smith from Mur physboro, 111., writes: "I have taken one bottle of Peruna for my catarrh and I feel very much benefited." Geo. W. Smith. ; Congressman David Meekison from Napoleon, O., writes: "I have used several bottles of Peruna and feel greatly benefited thereby from my catarrh of the head." David Meekison. Senator Mallory, of Pensacola, Pla., writes: "I have used your excellent remedy, Peruna, and have recommended it both as a tonic and a safe catarrh rem edy." Stephen R. Mallory. Senator M. C. Butler, ex-Governor of South Carolina, writes: "I can recom mend Peruna for dyspepsia and stomach trouble." M. C Butler. Senator W. V. Sullivan from Oxford, Miss., writes: "I take pleasure in re commending your great national catarrh cure, Peruna, as the best I have ever tried." W. V. Sullivan. Senator J. M. Thurston from Omaha, Neb., writes : " Peruna entirely relieved me of a very irritating cough." J. M. Thurston. Congressman H. G. Worthington from Nevada, writes : 44 1 have taken one bot tle of Peruna and it has benefited me immensely." H. G. Worthington. Congressman Howard from 3Tt. Payne, Ala., writes : 44 1 have taken Peruna for la grippe, and I take pleasure in recom mending Peruna as an excellent rem edy." M. W. Howard. Congressman Willis Brewer from Haynesville, Ala., writes: 44 1 have used one bottle of Peruna for lassitude, and I take pleasure in recommending it." Willis Brewer. If you do not derive prompt and satis factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad vice gratis. Address Dr. Hartman, President of The. Hartrtmn Sanitarium, Columbus. Ohio. THE SUPREME COURT. A gentleman of Woocester, Mass., says that he is interested in and agrees with much that is printed in The In dependent, but confesses that he sometimes shocked when reading the severe condemnation of the courts especially the federal courts in which The Independent indulges. Then he wants to know if this editor has any facts upon which he bases his con demnation of the courts. There is one fact known to all men, and if 'there were no others that single fact ought to damn the supreme court of the United States forever in the judg ment of honest men. That fact is the. income tax decision. It was made to exempt the rich and place the burden of taxation on the poor. The United States must now rely upon a tax de cision. It was made to exempt the rich and place the burden of taxa tion on the poor. The United States must now rely upon a tax on consump tion the most infamous system of taxation ever invented. The decision in the John Elk case whereby the fourteenth ' amendment was annulled is another fact. The Porto Rico and Philippine decisions establishing im perialism are other facts. Then there are hundreds of other decisions along the same lines in cases of less im portance. The supreme court of the United States is not a court of law, but a political court. Never since its or ganizatiin has it made a decision on an important national question opposed to the party in power. When slavery held the country under its control the court was pro-slavery. When com mercialism took charge of the govern ment its decisions have been in favor of Mammon. There nas always been a minority in the court to protest, but the majority well, if The Inde pendent knew how to say anythirg more severe about it it would make haste to say it. It has torn the con stitution in shreds, it nas annulled thp Declaration of Independence, it has made itself the ally of the rich ard the corporations, it has neen anything but what a court of last resort should be. CHEAP GOODS FOB FOREIGNERS A standing offer of $100 has been made to any New York exporting fl.ni that would furnish a copy of its ex port discount list. Not a firm will accept . the .offer. Indisputable evi dence, however, has been collected to show that the American pays $2.25 for a keg of nails which the' foreigner gets for' 11.30; that typewriters which cost $100 in this country can be had abroad for $55, and that American tiu plate brings just an even dollar more in this country than aDroad. The object of the offer of $100 was to get the document and make a fac simile of it to be usea in the coming campaign, and see if ; that would con vince the mullet heads that they were paying 50 per cent more for American goods than the same goods were so'd to foreigners. Every man save a mul let head knows that now. It seems to The Independent that just as convincing evidence could be obtained in another way. Have a few bills returned from England, France and Germany. There would be no dif ficulty in getting that kind of evi dence, for the merchants over there who buy American goods would have no objection to furnishing the re ceipted bills after they had received the goods and - paid ror them. The editor of The Independent brought some of those bills Dack with him when he returned from England in 1888. But if a majority of the Ameri can people prefer to pay the trusts 50 per cent more for goods than the trusts sell them to foreigners, those who are in the minority will have to do so also. WHAT DOBS THIS MEAN? Dispatches from Washington say that in accordance with a provision of the Philippine government act the secretary of war has been directed that the treasury of the Philippines shall act as depository or the public moneys of the United States without being required to deposit bonds in the treasury of the United States cr to give any other specific security fov the safe-keeping of public money "un til the further direction of the secre tary of war." Such a proceeding is not only a re versal of the practice of the govern ment, but opens the way to and is an inducement to cimmit embezzlement. Here is a carpet-bag official 10,000 miles from the seat of government into whose hands there is placed millions of money without any security at all. The mayor of Minneapolis, who was indicted and fled,4 started his adminis tration with the public declaration that he would cleanse the city forcoi of all employes, high and low, who were not republicans. He certainly I had a sense of the fitness of things I considering the sort of administration hegave the. city. None but true blua J republicans were fitted for the job. LESE MAJESTE The Iowa State Register is in for a "hauling over the coals." It will be remembered that Mark Hanna's recent campaign slogan, given to the public at the Ohio state convention, is "Keep on letting well enough alone." But the Register must have forgotten, or Is rebellious, for in an editorial on "Tariff Differences" among the republi cans of Iowa a plea for a non-committal plank, whereby both Roosevelt and the Iowa delegation can be com plimentedit said: "Those who hold this opinion (favor ing many tariff changes) have fresh in their memories the campaign of 1892, when one of the ablest presidents the country ever had, after a successful administra tion and in the midst of a splendid prosperity, was defeated for re election in a campaign that cen tered upon the protected industry at Homestead. They are con vinced that a state of prosperity and an appeal to let well enough alone cannot be depended upon to keep the party in power. The peo ple of this country never have been and never will be content with what is. They want prog ress and. while in their eagerness often mistake mere change for it, the characteristic is not to be for gotten." Surely this is lese majeste! Editorial Notes. Bishop Spaulding says: "They who prefer money to truth and love are Immature and degenerates." A cou ple of years ago The Independent la belled these classes "degenerates" in several articles. The use of the term was denounced and the editor called a crank. It now seems that the crank ism consisted in being two years ahead of the bishops who now. in all soberness begin to make use of the same term. These degenerates will run their course and men of future ages will look back upon them with horror." Morgan and Yerkes having exploited Americans until their credulity wa3 about exhausted are now playing the same old game in England, where they are finding plenty of new, victims whose credulity exceeds that of the sheared lambs on this side of the water. The corruption 1 of the republican officials at Denver equal that of any of their party associates in any part of the country. One grart that , they have been enjoyinr for over two years is $3,000 annual overcharges on the one item of printing. Some of these 'bills which were audited and paid were seven and eight hundred times as much as the work could have been obtained for. Everywhere where the republicans have control the same stories of corruption are heard. They are all tarred with the same tick. Turn the rascals out One of the real good and paying grafts in .these states is a receiver ship. The federal courts are very lenient with receivers and allow them A show came to Cleveland and dis tributed a good many free tickets among the city officials. Mayor Tom Johnson rounded the officials up and made them a speech, part of which was as follows: "I think that's small business, mighty cheap, for a lot of fellows like you. No member of my administration accepts free show tick ets with my approbation." to hang on in many , cases year after year before any intimation is given that It is time to close tne Job. The fees or salaries allowed receivers are enormous and frequently a very larg? part of the estate goes into the re ceiver's pockets. . The fault ' Is in the courts. In this regard, as in favoring corporations, many of the judges are a disgrace, not only to this age, but would have been to the age in which Lord Bacon indulged in similar practices. At the summer meetings of the edu cational societies there has been very much said about education in the Phil ippines. One speaker pointed out that the citizens of the United States are totally ignorant of the conditions ex isting among" the Filipinos and de clared that "the Filipinos are cruelly misrepresented on every hand, yet five-sixths of them are Christians and have been for five hundred years. They have 2,000 good schools of their own, and yet "we hear that they are incapable of self-government and we try to flood their jcountry with teach ers. What is there fair in that sort of treatment? General Anderson has spoken out n regard to Dewey's testimony, but Gen eral Merritt is still silent, and he knows whether a mock battle was ar ranged and then palmed off as a gen uine one, not only on the army, but the country and history. Talking about attacking the army, what is to be said of this playing and fooling with it by those in high command? It is generally conceded In financial circles that the plan of the steel trust to turn a large amount of its shares into bonds was a scheme of some of the largest holders to turn their hold ings Into cash and get out before the crash came. " About the most distressing thing to. every honorable American In all this imperialistic business was the bring ing over here, of the turncoat Fili pino, Buencamino. to testify against his own people. He is a man of such small calibre that even the Imperialist papers have been: ashamed to report his speeches and sayings. He de serted the Filipino cause to accept a high salary under the Taft govern ment Aguinaldo could have had a more lucrative vposition under Taft, but he would not accept it. However much an honest man may detest Buen camino', he .Is no more to be despised than the men who bought him and then brought him over Here. An eastern writer says that the wealthy class when they rushed thU country into a system of colonialism never took a thought concerning the blood that it would cost. . It is very natural that they should not. None of their blood was ever shed in the Philippines or in any other war. When the government depends on volunteers they never enlist Ir a draft is rend ered necessary, they hire a substi tute as their, patron saint, the old Stuffed Prophet, did. Not withstand ing these facts, and every one knows them to be facts, they go about the country claiming to be the only true patriots and declaring that any one who dissents from their policies Is a traitor and a copperhead. John Burns gave the English a tip in a debate in the house of commons that it would be well for them to bear in mind.. He declared that at the end of: a year or two Mr. Morgan would retire with a million and a half pounds in his , pocket, gained at the expense of the credulous British in vestors. He might have added that Ship-building goes on at an aston ishing rate notwithstanding Mark Hanna's big subsidy steal did not get through congress. A seven-masted schooner of 10,000 tons displacement was launched at Weymouth the other day. These schooner rigged vessels are being turned out at an astonish ing rate and of a size never dreamed of before. They can be . handled in the roughest weather by a very small crew and the cost of sailing them is very little. The old-fashioned ship of that size would have required a crew of ten times the number of men. It seems that the era of sailing vessels is coming in again. Freight can be carried in. such vessels at about one- tenth of the , cost of sending it in steamships. n It is nothine new for a railroad o announce that it is about to exnend ten, twenty, thirty or forty millions ror improvements these days. Not long since the union Pacific put on several new palace nasseneer trains at a cost of a million each and the Pennsylvania road is about to erpnd forty millions in New York. But if a state board of transportation lowers rates tne federal courts declare that it is confiscation of private property and when the tax assessor romp around they are all so poverty-stricken mat they can't pay taxes. That is be cause of their "extra corporate fran chises.". Prout and Weston are both convinced of that fact and so thev all the big railroad attorneys in the state to neip Keep, down the taxes. ' The chief excuse for the war upon the Boers was that the Transvaal gov ernment put a tax on dynamite al though the British government was at the same time collecting a much heavier. tax on that exnlnsive in Alas ka. Now that the war is over, the government set up by the British In the late , little republic has levied k CrMiiM!

No imperialist paper, either British or American, has had a word of protest against this tax. The Independent Is rather glad of it for It has a certain amount of poetic justice in it The mine owners wero the chief instigators of the war and this tax will force them to help pay the bill. Why the magazine writers cannot use a little common sense in the com position of their articles has always been a puzzle. One of them indicts the following sentence about Kansas: True it was that Kansas farmers were on the verge of financial ruin, but after the three years' drouths of the latter '80's had passed Providence smiled on the state and its contiguous territory." "Providence smiled." From the former part of the sentence one is lead to believe that when "Providence smiles" it rains. If that is the case the people of Nebraska and Kansas at the present time would be pleased to see Providence frown a while. The fields are flooded and the wheat i3 rotting in the shock, but Providence keeps on smiling. One thing that keeps down the criti cism of the courts is the enormous amount of patronage that they have to dispense. The receivership, exe cutorship, masters in chancery, deputy marshalships and scores of other ways in which it is dispensed, has a ten dency to keep the recipients very quiet. An executorship of one of the great estates is one of the best grafts in the whole country. Executors ap pointed by the court took charge of the Henry B. Plant estate In 1899. The other day Lynde Harrison handed in his bill for services. It amounted to $161,625. Each of the other exe cutors received a like amount, or more than $50,000 a year. The courts that allow such things are corrupt and The Independent has not the least hesi tancy in saying so. Some people are'so foolish as to be lieve that the cost of imperialism will end with the establishment of peace. Nothing is more absurd. The after math is the most costly part of the whole business. The Increase In the cost of maintaining the army and navy since 1897 has been $117,540,246. or over 220 per cent. That Is not all of the aftermath by a good deal. The pension list has been increased to ah alarming extent. It does not take ac count of the loss of the productive power of the men employed in the army and navy. In fact the aftermath of imperialism is a terrible affair and the whole cost cannot be computed by any man. We have Increased our trade with the Philippines several hundred thousand dollars. That is all that there is on the other side of the ledger. The Independent is one of the few papers in the United States that gives the correct name and address of each of its contributors in all cases, except where otherwise requested.: Many pa pers follow the custom . printing the name and county, or name and state, only. "This , practice rs doubtless to prevent other newspaper's from send ing sample copies and soliciting sub scriptions from such contributirs. The Independent holds to the other Idea and believes Its readers are well able to take care of themselves. It cares nothing how many other papers solicit patronage of its subscribers, knowing that Independent rentiers will as a rule continue to take The Independent year after year, no matter how many other papers they may try for a year at a time. In fact, The Independent is always glad to know that its read ers to take others papers the mot good ones, the better. There Is an old story of a man who started to town after a sl'eet storm when all the ground was covered with ice. He said every step he took for wards he slid two backwards. That reminds one of Rosewater's efforts for equal taxation of the railroads. He I? for taxing the railroads, but for electing men to office who will never do it. Every time he writes a para graph advocating taxing the roads and the election of Prout and Weston, he just slides two steps backwards. Dan Rice's mule never performed a more ridiculous trick, nor one that causes more general laughter. - There is not a man in the state so roollsh as not o know that the way to make the rail roads pay their share of taxation is to beat Mickey, Prout and Weston, and Rose water is no fool. He perhaps has an idea that the farmers are the ones who vote the republican ticket and that is the reason that he engages in his ridiculous performances. "You must not loo: at trio market quotations of railroad stocks and bonds," say the railroad tax commis sioners, attorneys, and judges, "be cause market Quotations . are lareelr fictitious; these stocks and bonds are the subject of purchase and sale for speculative purposes." So said Judge GrosscuD in th Chicaeo "school ma'ams tax cases." So said Acting Attorney General Baldwin of the Un ion Pacific in his brief and areu ment before the Nebraska snnreme court in the mandamus case against the state board of equalization. It is the same old "parrot-like reply," as tne Des Moines Leader said some weeks ago. - s Of course Judge Brewer of the United States supreme court said in the Ohio express cases that what any thing is worth in the marxets for the purposes of sale and purchase, it is worth for the purpose of taxation; but that does not stop the cry of "spec ulative values." As a matter of fact many other tnings are bought and sold on specula tion, and land is not the least sinner. The Des Moines Register ing on business conditions in Iowa, says: . - One of the great land movements of our history, is under way. It has spread until nearly every lit tle community in Iowa is infected. It was directed first to the Dako tas and Minnesota, but the United States is too small to contain It now. While it is accompanied by a heavy influx of settlers, experi enced observers pronounce nine tenths of the purchases to be for speculative purposes. , COURSES.
