HOSE Republican organ grind
ers who are yelling "Down
with . the trusts f boplnr
II thereby to deceive the unwary
Voter, , but who nt the same
time are so much afraid of what Gov
ernor Steele of Indiana denominates
"tariff tinf.eiing" . that they are op
posed to Cuban reciprocity would do
well to seriously ponder this editorial
paragraph from the Washington Post!
The Republican party will de nothlnf
firaetical on the truit question aa long- aa
t ia aXroJd to raviaa tha tariff.
To understand thoroughly the force
of that sentence It is only necessary to
recall what the Post is. It is an ex
ceedingly brilliant paper. It Is doubt
ful if any paper in America is more
ably edited. It is independent It is
goldbugglsh and also a high protective
shouter. It was a great admirer and a
stanch supporter of President Mc
Kinley and all his works; but the Fost
with the skill of a great physician,
makes a correct diagnosis of the trust
disease, recognizing its origin and sug
gestlng the romedy"tariff revision.
Everybody with two ideas above a
mud turtle knows that Mr. Havemeyer,
president of the sugar trust, told the
truth when he said, "The high protec
tive tariff is the mother of trusts." The
Post wants the Republicans to revise
the tariff, because it knows that unless
the Republicans do it the Democrats
i will. Of course such hidebound Re
publican organs as the Globe-Democrat
will kick llko steers at the Post's sug
gestion, but the fact remains thnLthe
independent press of the country,
which the Post represents, and the in
dependent voters of the land, for which
It speaks, hold the balance of power
at the elections. While the foregoing
paragraph from the Post is a mild hint
to tho powers that be, it serves to show
which way the wind Is blowing.
Another Straw.
Hon. Chester I. Long mournfully and !
prophetically remarks, "If the Repub
lican party confesses that reciprocity
is too great a problem for It to solve,
It will matter little who is the candi
date in 1904." And Chester's head is
level. Who is he? What is his evi
dence worth? He represents the big
Seventh Kansas district, made famous
by Jerry Simpson. He is a candidate
for re-election to the house and for,
election to succeed Hon. William A.
Harris In the senate of the United
States. He is a Republican member of
the committee on ways and means,
and he is in favor of Cuban reciprocity
and other bits of reciprocity, deeming
it necessary to Republican success.
What is reciprocity? Free trade in
spots. "Charge, Chester, charge!"
! Gall.
For undiluted, concentrated gall
commend us to Senator J. Ralph Bur
ton of Kansas. Certainly if there were
a world's fair for gall held anywhere
beneath the vaulted skies Burton
would walk away with the blue rib
bonin fact, with all the ribbons. He
would have no competitor. In a
6peech before the Republican state con
vention of Missouri the senator said:
There Is no capital so valuable in poli
tics aa Integrity of purpose, and I would
Impress upon the people of Missouri that
It ia to the advantage of them all. Demo
crats and Republicans alike, that their
state should be Republican. Missouri has
the finest kind of climate, the greatest
amount of raw material, the richest land
and the greatest natural advantages of
any state. It is a gTeat producing- state.
Production is wealth. It is better and
safer than trade.
"There is no capital so valuable in
politics as integrity of purpose." Very
true, senator, very true, but even with
your gall you will hardly have the face
to claim that you have a patent on that
opinion or that you originated it. The
value of that dictum lies in the appli
cation. How do you apply it? By say
ing. "I would impress upon the people
of Missouri that it is to the advantage
of them all. Democrats and Repub
licans alike, that their state should be
Republican." Indeed! That is a queer
non sequitur. Missouri was Republican
for eight years i. . e.. by frauds un
equaled in the history of the human
race and by Wholesale and brutal dis
franchisement the Republicans held
the offices in Missouri for eight years,
and the outlandish manner in which
they abused their power and plundered
the people during those eight years is
the very reason the state will never go
Republican again. The debt piled up
on the state like Pelion un.on Ossa by
the Republicans during their brief orgy
of crime is not quite paid off yet after
thirty-two years. During their mis
rule, no matter how people voted or by
how large a majority Democratic can
didates were elected. Republicans were
counted in. Drake and his gang would
not permit Frank P. Blair, to vote,
though be created the Republican par
ty In Missouri, fought four years as a
Union soldier, commanded a corps In
Sherman's march to the sea and was
pronounced by ; General Grant to be
one of the best two volunteer officers
in the army.- They swindled General
James Shields the brave old Irish be-.
to, a major general In both the Mexican
and civil wars out of a seat In con
gress, giving it to some 'obscure Re
publican whose name I am happy to
say I hare forgotten. Shteldt waa ehot
through the lungs with a grape hot In
Mexico and fought Stonewall Jackson
tooth and nail in the valley' of Vir
ginia. ; Nevertheleee he was robbed of
a seat in congress by the most bmxtr
less et of political freebooters that
ever cursed any state in the Union.
When the Democrats came into their
own again, they promptly sent Shields,
then an old man and broken In health,
to the senate of the United BtAtG,
thereby enabling him to boast that he
was the only man in American history
ever elected to the senate of the United
States by three different states, the
three being Illinois, Minnesota aad
Missouri.
"It would be for the advantage ef
them all. Democrats and Republicans
alike, that their state should be Re
publican." "What fools, we mortals
be." Missouri Is Democratic, Kansas
Republican. During the decade from
1800 to 1000 Kansas barely held her
own In population, while Missouri
gained enough In population to entitle
her to an additional congressman, who,
thank, heaven, will be a Democrat
While grand old Missouri under Dem
ocratic auspices is rapidly advancing
to the first place in the rare and radi
ant sisterhood of states comes Senator
Burton and advises her to become Re
publican, which is the same thing as
advising her to stand stock still while
the procession sweor.s by. Will she
follow his evil advice? Well, hardly
not till people have lost their memory.
At one point in his speech a strange
thing happened. The Globe-Democrat
ays:
A cup of water waa handed to the
poaker; but. with the trag-io air of a
Kentucklan when offered water to drink,
ha spurned it. saying his machine was
run by wind, not by water, and hla atata
uses only wind and not water.
Yea, verily; Burton's machine is run
by wind. He did right to say so. An
open confession Is good for the soul.
It remained for Senator Burton to
claim tiiat the appropriation made by
congress for the St. Louis world's fair
was made for political effect by a Re
publican congress to Induce Missouri to
go Republican at least that is what
the Globe-Democrat reports him as say
ing. If he said anything of the sort,
he stated what was absolutely false.
If the Republicans in congress voted to
give $6,000,000 of the public money in
order to induce Missouri to go Repub
lican, they were badly hoodwinked by
somebody and will be sorely disap
pointed when the election returns come
in. Perhaps they will repeal the bill
making the appropriation for the
world's fair! That Is evidently what
Burton would advise. Perhaps there
has been at some time, somewhere, a
viler statement made by some nonde
script and irresponsible Republican pol
itician, but Senator Burton of Kan
sas is certainly the first person holding
eo high a position to intimate that the
congress of the United States would
pass such an important law as the
world's fair bill for the purpose of in
ducing a state to quit one political
party and Join another. - What other
Republicans in congress will think of
Burton's bad break remains to be seen.
A Rising Kentucklan.
The Hon. James M. Kehoe of the
Ninth Kentucky district has been
unanimously renominated, an honor
worthily bestowed. Kehoe is one of
the brightest young men in the house,
an indefatigable worker, a most ex
cellent public speaker and a Democrat
without guile. Kehoe redeemed the
district In 1900, which for several
terms had been misrepresented by a
Republican. In fact, the Republicans
have elected more representatives from
that district since the war than the
Democrats.
Kehoe carried it by the skin of his
teeth in 1900. He ought to be re-elected
by a large majority, for a more
faithful representative never sat in the
house in Washington. He looks after
the Interests of his constituents. Demo
crats and Republicans too. He attends
faithfully to his duties in the house
Itself and looks after the wants of his
constituents In the departments.
A Brilliant Young Nebraskan.
One of the most promising young
men in the house of representatives is
the Hon. A. C. Shallenberger. In addi
tion to being a very able man, he is a
very handsome man, in the flower of
his years. His style of delivery and
the modulation of his voice remind
one somewhat of the Hon. William
J. Bryan. Shallenberger has a great
career before him if he stays in con
gress long enough. There never was a
more systematic or successful fight
made In the congress of the United
States than that made by the advo
cates of the great Irrigation scheme,
and no one among the advocates of
that great enterprise conducted him
self to better advantage than did Shal
lenberger. He had evidently studied
the subject from every conceivable
standpoint and took the house by storm.
In discussing the proposition that irri
gating the. west would be detrimental
to the eastern farmers, he delivered
himself of the following passage, which
Is well worth reading for many rea
sons: - v

I started eastward for this capital I wait

beseemeth a Pennsylvania representative
to protest against . legislative encourage
ment to western enterprise and develop

And, Mr. Chairman, what the manufac
turing cltiea along the water courses of
Pennsylvania and the -east are to that
country so will the irrigated valleys and
plateaus be to the mountain and plain re
gions of the great, west and southwest.
They will be the centers ' of commercial
activity and development, both in mate
rial wealth and In higher civilisation,
which will ultimately make for the ad
vancement of that great region and the
whole nation as well.
I wish I had room for all of bis
speech, which is a good one "from A
to Izzard," but I have only space for
his peroration, which is as follows and
contains a great amount.of truth:
Mr. Chairman, - this, question is greater
than the Philippine question, greater than
the Cuban question, greater than the isth
mian canal question, because of its great
benefits and the magnificent opportunities
that shall flow from it. It means the best
markets and the best homes for the best
nation on earth, .and all the . happiness
and the prosperity which shall follow in
its train shall be the common heritage of
the American people, and nothing can
take it from them.
This legislation appeals! to me especial
ly because it is in -sthe interest of our
great agricultural population a class of
people who receive little enough consid
eration from the American congress. No
matter how much wo may boast of our
manufacturing and mining wealth, tho
growth of our "cities and our financial

country, yet after the storms have rolled

broad shoulders underneath our commer

but a moiety of profit in his business, a
little of the legislative justice to which he
is entitled, he will stand again erect, and

serious trouble,, perhaps great danger,
even the danger of being kicked by
Embassador In Ordinary Joseph H.
Choate, Whitelaw Reid, embassador
extraordinary, and Don M. Dickinson,
tooter in general for all flunkydom.
The Post, oblivious to the secret under
standing between Uncle Sam and John
Bull, has the temerity to denounce Jo
seph Chamberlain and his gang a3
"ruthless pirates." In a glowing eu
logy on General Lord Kitchener the
Post has the hardihood to say:
Kitchener, who did the real work of the
war. is the antithesis of Chamberlain and
Milner, who provoked it. In all probabil
ity he had no liking for the task assigned
him. "We can well believe that he detect
ed and accordingly loathed the mean and
sordid purpose behind the movement. Un
doubtedly it grieved and angered him, as
it did so many of. England's noblest men
and women, to see thousands of bravo
fellows sacrificed to the avarice of a gang
of ruthless pirates. That there was con
stant friction between him on the one
hand and Chamberlain and Milner on the
other everybody knew and. almost every-1
body could explain. They stood in the
way of peace last year when Kitchener
had secured for England much better
terms than it was finally compelled to
accept. They added both difficulty and
distaste to the performance of the duty he
had undertaken, and it is easy to under
stand that he held them in unqualified
contempt .
After reading that scold what will
our anglomaniacs do. poor things? If
some unfrilled Democrat said that,
every Republican organ grinder-in the
land would jump on him and abuse
him as a demagogue seeking to dis
turb the entente cordiale now existing
between England and the ; United
States; but the Washington Post says
it the Post, which about two-thirds of
the time indorses what our pro-British
. .dmlnistratlon does and says.

THE EXAMPLE OF ST. LOUIS
Mr. Bolt Reviews the History of the Xet
Municipal Campaign The Jefferson
Club of St. Louis
Editor Independent: Conventions
have been held and platforms adopted
in nearly all the states that will hold
elections this fall. In some states the
democratic party for reasons best
known to themselves have ignored the
Kansas City platform or only made an
inferred allusion to it by "reaffirming
democratic principles as set forth in
former national platforms."
In those states where such plat
forms have been adopted we can ex
pect to soon hear the same arguments
used that the Bryan democrats of St.
Louis heard at the last city election
For the benefit of the readers of The
Independent who live in states where
such platforms have Deen adopted and
who are ignorant of the fate which
befell the Bryan democrats of St.
Louis, I will give a short history of
events during our last municipal elec
tion. ,
There is a democratic club here
known as the Jefferson club, the presi
dent of which gave notice through his
henchmen that it would be impossible
to elect a democratic ticket at the last
city election, on the Kansas City plat
form, and any reference to Mr. Bryan
during the campaign would not do at
all. Murmurin&s began to be heard
among the voters and the henchmen
came forward with the plea that it waa
a local election and was in no way con
nected with national issues. The Jef
ferson club selected as a candidate for
cuayor a gold democrat who had been
a traitor to the party In 1896 and
1900. To quiet the grumblings of loyal
democrats, the mouth-pieces declared,
"He was the man that could win."
An independent democrat entered
the field on the social democratic tick
et, but the election commissioners re
fused to allow him to have clerks or
challengers at the polls because the
social democratic ticket had not polled
votes enough at the last presidential
election. After the election and the
Jefferson club man was declared elect
ed, the mouth-pieces all proclaimed
with a loud voice that the result was
a vindication of their statements, made
immediately after the defeat of 1900,
that "the democratic party could not
win on a Bryan platform," as they
called it. No credit was given the
Bryan democrats and discontented re
publicns who had supported the ticket.
Friends of the independent candidate
made a personal canvass or several
wards and it is alleged found that sev
eral thousand men claimed that they
had voted for him, while the official
count showed that he received only a
few votes. The argument that will be
presented by democratic orators, to
hold the voters in line in tnose states
where the party has gone back to 1892
or farther for a platform, is at pres
ent purely a matter of conjecture and
we shall have to wait until this fall
to see if they can elect their ticket.
If they "can fool tne voters Into a
belief that they can vote for candi
dates on such a platrorm without sur
rendering the dearest principles of
their party. If they can hoodwink the
people into -thinking that such a sur-

PURE POPULISM J
Xvea the Oreet Dallies Begta to Premml
gate the Doetrisiee of tne Fopallale
' en Ue Money Question j
The readers of The Lndependent
know all the arguments used by the
populists during the last two presiden
tial campaigns . about the effect of
"more money" upon business and they
will remember how tne plutocratic
dailies denounced, them as idiocy, so
cialism and anarchy. Now the dailiej
are promulgating the same arguments.
Read . the following from the Chicago
Tribune of July 21:
Paul Leroy-Beaulleu, the French
publicist, discusses with great clear
ness in the current number of the
Economiste Francaise.the probable ef
fect of the increasing gold output on
prices.
After a short period the minen in
the Rand, which have been closed
during the Boer war, will not only
have resumed the production of $100,
000,000 per annum but will have
reached $150,000,000. The mines of
Australia, China, Chile, Siberia, In
dia, and West Africa are likely to in
crease their output to such an extent
that in 1905 the total annual produc
tion of the world . will amount to
$400,000,000, as compared with $106,
000,000 in 1885. M. Beaulieu estimates
that the total amount of gold now in
circulation is $10,000,000,000. In a
quarter of a century, if M. Beaulteu'p
estimate is accurate, the amount of
gold in circulation will be doubled. If
there were no compensating forces the
result would be a rise m all fluctuat
ing values and a fall in the monv
market, but the increase of population
in the civilized countries and the de
velopment of Asiatic and other seml
civilized countries will create a J-a-mand
for capital for the extension of
present business and the exploitation
of new fields. The countries which
are now on a silver or paper standard
will consume a large amount of the
precious metal in . the conversion of
their currency.
The money from the mines will
reach circulation through three agen
cies the employes of the mines, the
purveyors of machinery to the minos
and foodstuffs and clothing to the em
ployes of the mines, and, finally,
through the mine owners. The money
which goes to the purveyors will reah
general circulation wrtn comparative
rapidity, but that which goes to the
owners will first seek the banks. The
stock exchange will respond and the
capital will either find profitable in
vestment in new enterprises or will
pass from the mine owners to the
operators who have taken advantage
of the ' situation to manipulate the
market or unload unsound stock.
Not Wholly Hopeless :
Editor Independent: Lately I have
been getting your paper more regular

I take more interest in The Inde
pendent and The Commoner than in
our local papers.
It is too bad the .clergy would not
get together and work for humanity
instead of being held by the money
power. We have heard of many pian
of securing universal peace, The
Hague conference among such bluffs.
If the clergy would only get togthr
and preach as Christ did It would be
an easy matter. If we only knew
enough to put all the expense of wars
on capital, wars would be a thing of
the past For example, have the pay
of soldiers $100 a month and better
food, etc., and all expense of keeping
up the army collectea by an Income
taxthen we would. have no "benev
olent assimilation" or shooting Span
lards In the back but taking It all In
all I do not know but our government
Is good enough for us so lsng &3 we
are fools enough to put up with it.
Many times I am almost ashamsd of
myself for having become an Ameri
can' citizen. Then again I take cour
age and hope, for better times. It
looks as though we in the east would
not help you western folks to get re
forms to any great extent. The al
mighty dollar has such a hold on us.
The churches have sold out for sure.
Our senior senator talks well, but as
a rule votes wrong. I cannot under

War and Courage.
The rescue party that perished, a
is feared, in a gallant effort to find th
buried miners in the Johnstown pit,
furnishes a fresh refutation of the
wicked theory that has been revived
of late, not without countenance from
ministers of the gospel, tnat war is
necessary to keep and develop human
courage. Every great catastroph-9 re
veals new heroes, and there Is ample
opportunity in civil life for develop
ing courage of the best sort. Spring

walking, etc? Do you have
pain in left breast, side or
between shoulder blades, chok

smothering spells, inability to
