LEGALIZED ROBBERY
Mr, Anthony Comments' on the Deatruc
tio of the 'Greenbacks and Their Con
version Into an Interest
Beariny; Debt
Editor Independent: How the earn
ings of labor are converted into interest-bearing
gold debt from the la
borer to the man whor produces' noth
ing. He who casts his pearls before
swine is assured they will turn and
' rend him,, The swine have eyes only
for their swill. They cannot see it
is displaced that they may receive a
better food. As our environment com
pels most of us into the swine class,
occupied for the most part In securing
material things, " the few who have
pearls to cast have a hard road to
travel.. The end i3 their crucifixion
and the arising to immortality. It Is
not by accident that of two men of the
same ability the one. by becoming a
banker lives a life of luxury and dies
a millionaire, and the, other by be-
' coming a laborer lives a life of toil
and hardship and dies in comparative
poverty. No man lives on the butter
and eggs produced by his ancestors
The difference between the banker
and the laborer is caused by the per
version through statute lav of the
natural law that all material things
are moved, governed and controlled
by invisible forces.
The operator in New York clicks his
; instrument and the message flies over
the ocean's bed to his correspondent
in London. We do not see the force
that impels the words. We talk
through . the , telephone; our distant
friend. hears our voice. Marconi hails
through the waves of ether the invis
ible ships afar on the bosom of the
ocean. The telegraph and the tele
phone have made the whole world a
whispering gallery. History can no
, longer impose Sampson for Schley. It
may, for a time make Funston the hero
of the pretended capture of Aguinaldo.
- The telegraph exposes the inside and
shows it a surrender prearranged wifh
appointed friends in Manila. The laws
of recognized telepathy known and
applied make lying impossible. The
lie is detected before uttered. Knowl
edge compels right doing as the only
path of safet to peace. Ignorance,
. if not a crime, is the parent and source
of all crimes.
The life germ in an apparently dead
kernel of corn, planted in its season,
. by continuous time or labor clothes it-
self with the tasselled stalk and sllk
4 ened ear, each thread of which pollen-
ated from the tassel creates upon the
end of each thread of silk attached to
the cob a new kernel like the kernel
. whose life has passed into the hetero
geneous varied plant. That the corn or
plant may be used for food for man or
beast does not seem to enter into the
economy of the process. The only ob
ject of the life germ seems to be to
multiply, preserve and transmit to
immortality the life. All these opera
tions of the life are carried on in the
invisible world. We do not see any of
the forces by which the work is done.
We do see the material clothing the
life puts on for its uses. The visible
form and the invisible life, the natural
material and the supernatural imma
terial make one.
' It Is our ignorance that endeavors
to separate what nature has conjoined.
We live, move and have our being here
. and now on this earth in an invisible
world manifesting through the ma
5 terial the presence and power of the
- immaterial, invisible life. Educated
into this practical knowledge, con
' forming our habits to it, our capacity
unfolds, forever approaching if never
attaining the superior intelligence.
The body out of which the life has
gone retains all the material organs
of sense. But the eye sees not, the ear
hears not, the material organs per
ceive not. The inner eye that sees,
the Inner ear. that hears, the inner
senses that perceive, are silent. It is
through the perversion of these invis
ible laws that the wealth of the pro
ducer is transferred to the non-producer.
A farmer stores a year's continuous
time or labor in producing a crop of
wheat. Harvested in his granary this
wheat is his year's stored labor. He
" takes a thousand bushels of his wheat
. from his granary and exchanges it
with the miller for a thousand dollars
in greenbacks. His wheat, his time, or
labor, is now stored in the greenbacks.
-If he burns these greenbacks, he loses
his stored labor as completely as
though he had burned his wheat in
the granary. Suppose this farmer is
educated into the nonsense that there
is no safe store-house but gold into
which he can put his wheat to hold
for exchange. He goes to the hoarder
of gold to exchange his greenbacks
for gold when gold is 2.85. The hoard
er.of gold says to him, If you will burn
your greenbacks, your wheat, your la
bor stored In these greenbacks, give,
me your twenty-year 6 per cent gold
interest srqld payable bond of a thou
sand dollars and a thousand dollars of
your due bills (national bank bills)
which I will loan back to you for you
to raise and exchange new wheat crops
at such interest as your necessity may
compel. I will give you in exchange
for this two thousand dollars ($2,000)
of yours, drawing Interest payable only
in the gold, three hundred and fifty
dollars and "eighty-six cents ($350.86)
in gold. What would his friends do
with such a farmer who should go
burn his , wheat, his greenbacks, go
give his 20-year 6 per cent gold bond
for a $1,000 and a $1,000 in his due
bills to be hired. back from the hoarder
of gold to do his business with for
$350.86 in gold. Will some gold man
explain how this supposed business of
the farmer with the hoarder of gold
differs from the creation of our bonded
debt to him and his national bank
system ?
It Is the same a3 though the gold
men had bought up all the tools of la
bor, the farmers, the merchants, the
carpenters tools of labor, burned them
and put upon them , an equal amount
of gold interest gold payable debt and
made labor furnish an interfior kind
of tool which the laborer must hire
from them before he could, work, mak
ing It also a crime for the laborer to
make any kind of topi to take the place
of the tools he had bought and paid
for which they had burned and con
verted into a debt to them. Our bond3
represent the ; people's wealth de
stroyed and an equal amount of gold
Interest gold payable' debt from the
people to the bond holders, given to the
bond holder to take the place of the
people's wealth destroyed.' An "equal
amount of national bank bills were
exchanged at their option with the
bondholders for the greenbacks de
stroyed. Since any material,! gold
silver, paper . or j potatoes exchanged
by the unit of measure for any other
product of labor makes that material
the store-house of the labor in that
product what shall we say of the wan
ton burning of the billions of dollars of
the people's wealth stored In green
backs for the preservation of the union
and the life of the nation and legal
conversion of these billions of the peo
ple's wealth into a gold interest gold
payable debt given to the bondholder
to be paid with gold interest to the
bondholder by the people forever, stor
ing their wealth not in their own
money greenbacks as before, but in
the bondholder's pocket. These green
backs were as much the store-house
of the people's wealth as gold dollars
could have been. They were paid for
precisely as gold dollars are bought
They were paid for by our labor stored
in the product of our farms and fac
torie8. our furnaces and forges, paid
for by the toil; the blood, the life of
our noblest and beat, by the Are and
smoke and flame of battle. They were
the garner house of the nation's sacri
flees. They represented the sovereign
ty of the nation. They upheld th
flag. They preserved the union. They
freed the. negro. Our lawmakers con
verted these greenbacks, so paid for
and so made, into a synonym of de
gredation, starvation and bondage. In
the place of the billions of the peo
ple's wealth stored in greenbacks our
lawmakers imposed upon the people
an equal amount of gold interest gold
payable debt; Doubtless with the hope,
intention and expectation it would not
be diminished, but Increased. It Is
Immaterial what moved our lawmakers
to convert this wealth of the people
into debt to the bondholders. The
infamous fact remains that it was
done by our lawmakers. It is imma
terial whether the Hazard circular is
genuine or not since our lawmakers
did the infamous thing the Hazard cir
cular advised.
It is Immaterial whether Earnest
Seyd bribed then or any other person
or thing bought them since they did
the Infamous things bribing and .buy
ing would seek to have done. It Is
not a secret how since the civil war
we. have millionaires by the thousand
and the laborer both black and white
Is in bondage to the bankers, the coal
barons, the trust magnates and the
railroad kings and must work on
their terms or starve by the wayside
together with their wives and Inno
cent children, -
Millionaires and tramps made by
statute law, which can create no prod
uct "of labor; only restrain, prohibit
and confine and so divert the laborers'
earnings into the monopolists' pockets.
This successful conversion of the bil
lions of the people's wealth stored In
greenbacks into gold interest bonds
by this perversion of invisible law
emboldens these robbers to seek a
like conversion of tha billions of the
people's wealth now stored in coined
silver also into gold interest debt to
themselves. We voters have the cure
of these evils in our own hands. In
this country we can make and un
make laws. We can make and unmake
constitutions. Our courts interpret
the law. When we have righteous
laws we shall have righteous interpre
tations. It is only necessary to form
"a get together party." Our anarch
istic and communistic lawmakers con
stantly make and unmake laws that
may continually divW the pittances
of the poor among the anarchistic,
communistic rich. Our courts inter
pret these law3. It is to be hoped that
the wrath of the people raised to a
white heat by these infamous legal
robberies may not make these anarch
ists and communists martyrs to their
infamy. Rather living let them wear
the gilded livery of their shame, that
dead cloak of infamy thy have put
on, may forever burn and never con
sume, becoming through the endless
ages a beacon light of warning to all
voyagers. Those of our lawmakers
who did this through Ignorance ae
unfit ior legislators.

TOO MUCH SEWING
WOMEN SHOULD BE CAREFUL
NOT TO OVERDO THEMSELVES
The experience of Mrs. Prazak. Wife of
tha Tow-n C1k ot MIllersTllle
Minnesota
The woman with the responsibility
of a house and family on her shoul
ders ha3 always been given to overdo
ing herself,. As a result almost every
day we hear of one breaking down.
Her nerves have given way or her
strength has failed. Such was the ex
perience of Mrs. Prazak, wife of J. M.
Prazak, town clerk of Millersville,
Douglas Co., Minn. She says:
"I had been sewing a great deal
and it was too much for me. Between
that and my other household duties I
began to be very nervous, I had no ap
petite and there was a feeling of heav
iness around my heart, so bad at times
that it seemed as if I couldn't get any
air. I was so nervous always that any
little thing would upset me. Noth
ing that I could do gave me any relief
and it became so bad that I was ob
liged to neglect my housework. I had
nervous prostration.
"Some time in March, after. I had
been, suffering for several months, I
heard of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People and began taking them.
I felt a little better and that made me
willing to give them a thorough trial.
I took the pills regularly for two
months and by . that time my health
was completely restored.
"I am glad of this chance to tell
how easily and thoroughly I was cured
by Pink Pills for Pale People. I keep
them in the house all the time and
strongly recommend them to all who
are afflicted as I was."
The pills which cured Mrs. Prazak
act directly on the blood and nerves
and in that are different from any
other medicine. 'They cure locomotor
ataxia, partial paralysis. St. Vitus
dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism,
nervous headache, after-effects of the
grip, palpitation of the heart, pale and
sallow complexions and all forms of
weakness either in male or female.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple are sold at all druggists, or will be
sent direct from Dr. Williams Medicine
Co., Schenectady, N. Y., postpaid, on
receipt of price, fifty cents per box;
s.lx boxes for two dollars and a half
Do not be deceived when a clerk tell3
you that he has a blood and nerve
pill "made from the same formula as
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo
pie. He does not know what the
formula is and he could not make the
pills if he did.

on this platform can easily say all
concerned agree to go on with their

THE COMMON GROUND
Mr. Qnlnby That It Is not Trne That Man
Must be Either a Socialist or
y Anarchist
Increase In Gambling
The Independent has often printed
warnings against the modern mania
for gambling. Now, trailing behind
The Independent, as they usually do,
come some of the eastern dailies with
their comments upon the subject and
mild very mild condemnations. They
do not at all condemn the forms of
gambling in which the millions are
invested, but only the lower forms
which are indulged in by those having
but little money. The New York News
prints the following interview with
one of the oldest private detectives
in the city:
"While there is much more gambling
going on now than ten years ago, pro
fessional gambling is fully 50 per cent
less than It was then. As I am em
ployed by a number of financial insti
tutions to investigate the habits of
their employes, work which brings me
in contact with all the various forms
of hazard, I am In a position to size
up the situation as accuratelyperhaps,
as any one.
"There is no end to the forms of
gambling. Some of them are employed
in church fairs, and are considered
legitimate, by very good and pious
people. Betting is so common that we
think nothing about it; and yet the
form of gambling that ruins more
young men than any other is betting
on the races.
"It seems so innocent an amusement
that they are led to take a 'flyer' just
for the fun of the thing. Therein lies
the hidden evil that leads to their
final undoing. If a young man were
content to confine his betting to his
spare change, the case would be differ
ent, but he never is. He spends his
salary, and when that is gone, bor
rows from his friends.
"As the pool room habit grows by
what it feeds upon, this money is swal
lowed up, and as a last resort he bor
rows from his employer without going
through the formality of asking for
the loan.
"When he has once taken this last
false step he soon finds himself so deep
in the quicksands that escape seems
impossible. But he keeps up the prac
tice in the vain hope of making enough
on the races to make good his defal
cations. Finally he becomes so heav
ily involved that no turn of fortune's
wheel will ever be able to release him
from his predicament. The discovery
of this wrongdoing sends him to prison
or a suicide's grave.
"Gambling Is more prevalent amonj
the smart set than ever before. Bridge
whist, poker and baccarat are the
games most frequently Indulged in.
They are usually played as a diver
sion at parties, to the accompaniment
of champagne and supper.
The sentiment of speculation is
widely prevalent among all classes,
and it really is a valuable aid in
achieving desired results. One man
gambles In real estate, another in
horses, another in railroad stocks.
"The attitude of the rich toward the
subject of gambling Is a queer one.
They go to Monte Carlo, sit in the
games in the open room where all may
see them, and play for large stakes.
They think it is no harm. On their re
turn home they Join the reform move
ment for the suppression of common
gambling and contribute money to the
cause.
FACTIONS
Father Snyder Points Ont the Dangers of
Factions, and Urjr.es Co-operation on
the Part of all Opposed to the
Oppression of Greed.
Editor Independent: All history
shows us that nations which have per-
isned have been divided by factions
before and at the time of their over
throw. This has been the general
fact the exceptions are found only in
other conditions which have invited
the strong to seize the inheritance of
the weak. This country will not es
cape the penalty of a law which has
been germain in all former ages and
with all other people. To give heed
means a country saved; to disregard
this means overthrow and death to
liberty in the United States. Liberty
will not die from among men, but it
will be in some other country, not in
this country. Now there is reform and
patriotic sentiment enough to save our
country if united, but divided there is
but little hope and no certainty. Re
publicans may divide, so may demo
crats, but fooiish is the man who ex
pects the wealth that hates liberty to
divide. No, not much will they di
vide. It then remains to be seen whe
ther these reform factions can be
united to save us, or whether each
shall go Its own way while capital en
slaves all of us. This is not a ques
tion of opinion, nor yet of conscience.
It is a question of life or death. It
has its own nature just as has the
viper. Right action in right time
can and will save us, but "neglected
the craft falls Into shallows and diffi
culties." I was three years old when Carrol
of Carrolton at 93 years of age laid
the corner stone of the B. & O. rail
road. Who then dreamed that my
eyes would live to see what I now be
hold? And many children . are now
born who will weep over our folly if
we divide while heartless capital con
quers. All true democrats, thousands
of patriotic republicans, populists, so
cialists, prohibitionists, single taxers,
all of one mind on the two vital
points of saving the Declaration of In
dependence, and delivering the country
from the . tyranny of capital. This
done and we are safe for the present
at least. No organization need be
abandoned no party need be swal
lowed up each can work for thir own
cause and ideas just as they do now.
Simply take the government, retire
these enemies of God and men, undo
their mischief and save the country.
The grandest work of an age done, no
one compromised, no self-respect sur
rendered, no organization crippled In
its work, but the thing believed and
wished for by all attained. Now why
keep apart, and vote apart and lose
all when all can be saved by simply
co-operation? For that matter the
Eugene V. Debs, in a recent speech,
stated that "AH men must either be
anarchists or socialists." Mr. Debs
is not by any means original in utter-
ingthls proposition. The same idea
has been ' expressed before, many
times, and In every instance it ex
presses the one-sidedness of the vision
of those who utter it. It is on a par
with the old notion that there can only
be government by , one man a mon
arch, and that monarch to rule by di
vine rightor no government at all.
It is the result of failure to view things
from a wide range of thought.
Now in the first place let us under
stand the fundamental principles un
derlying both anarchism and socialism.
The first principle of anarchism is
that 'as the Individual existed prior to
society his rights and duties are in no
way concerned with those of society.
Socialism, on the contrary, assumes
the reverse of this. That is, that as all
life originated in the mass, and that
as the individual is but an onsnoot
of the original -mass, the rights and
duties of the individual are subserv
ient to those of society. In short, that
the rights of society are paramount,
and that every individual of society
mvst. yield; to the interest or whims
or wishes, if you please-of all. There
fore the superstructure built upon
these two distinct ideas must through
out be consistent with these first prin
ciples Each of these different conceptions
of societyvand of man is both true
and untrue. They are half truth's. A
system of society might be devised in
which the truths of both may be in
corporated in the arrangement of the
social compact and the untruths of
both discarded. It would therefore
follow that such a society would be
neither socialistic nor anarchistic, and
the supporter of such a system neither
socialist nor anarchist.
Man is : possessed of a dual nature.
He is both social and individual. He
is both dependent and independent.
He has both public and private rights.
His development of mind depends
upon his own exertion. His material
welfare largely depends upon his re
lation to others. He is under no fur
ther obligation to society than to the
extent of rendering to society a just
compensaionifor the benefits that so
ciety may confer upon him. On the
other Jiand society is under no further
obligation to him than to compensate
him for services he may render to so
ciety, r
There is no other legitimate func
tion for government to perform than
to secure to the individual citizen the
rights that nature has bestowed upon
him and to protect him against wrongs
that he may be , powerless to resist,
The natural rights of all mankind to
an equal opportunity to the use of the
bounties of nature the land and all
that it contains cannot be questioned
The right of the individual to the free
use and possession of such things a3
his own Independent labor may pro
duce, cannot justly be denied. At the
present stage of civilization the prac
tical effect of anarchism would be a
denial of the first of these two proposi
tions since a just apportionment of
nature's bounties among men involves
an organized society. The effect of
socialism would destroy the title of the
toiler to the product of his own toil,
because socialism1 could not leave vth,e
individual free to pursue his own nat
ural and chosen work. It would max
imize society and minimize man. He
"would become a mere cog in the indus
trial machine.
The error of the doctrine of anarch
ism lies in the fact that its enlarged
view of the individual obscures so
ciety. It maximizes the man and
minimizes society. The truth of the
doctrine of anarchism lies in the pro
position that the individual should
be allowed to pursue his own natural
and chosen work, physical and mental,
untrammeled by government and the
whims of society. In the error there is
a failure to see the necessity for gov
ernment to secure to each an equal op
portunity to enjoy the bounties of na
ture, and the rights of society to the
possession of such wealth as society
causes, regardless of the efforts of In
dividuals as such, and which wealth
justly belongs to all those who com
pose society. In the truth there is a
just and hopeful recognition of the
virtue of self-reliance and independence.
The error of socialism lies in its fail
ure to comprehend the great troth that
nature has provided and, established
certain laws that if allowed full scope
among men will render exact justice
between man and man. The socialist
fails to see that alP the abuses of so
ciety are the- result of bad laws, spe
cial privileges and restrictions enacted
by unwise and unscrupulous politic
ians. He does not see that if these
restrictions to the free use of nature's
resources are once removed and trade
allowed to take its natural course no
one could be Injured thereby. He does
not see that under just conditions it
would not be necessary for a board of
statistical experts to figure out how
much corn, wheat and potatoes should
ba raised, how many beef and hogs
must be dressed or what quantity of
shoes and clothing manufactured in a
given time: but that the natural law
of supply and demand would regulate
these things as truly as that water
will seek its level; He does not com
prehend the great importance of leav
ing to the individual the free choice
of his life work and the power to
initiate his own designs. He does not
see the importance of men standing
erect, firmly upon their own feet, with
out being "put . in leading strings .to

that senseless abstraction called the
state." He does not seem to have suf
ficient faith in the goodness and vir
tue of mankind to know that under
just laws and government and proper
environment, all mankind will be just
and fair.
Th3 truth of socialism lies in the
fact that it comprehends the great
principle that the wealth which God
has created belongs to all mankind,
and that any system which permits the
lord of the land to levy a forced tri
bute upon those who desire to use
the land of the lord is fundamentally
iniquitous. The socialist confounds the
wealth created by God with that pro
duced by man. He does not see that
it is equally as unjust for society to
assume dictatorship of that wealth
produced by the Individual as it is for
the individual to confiscate the wealth
created by God or established by so
ciety. '
There is a happy medium, a com
mon ground, between these two absurd
extremes, possessing the logical prin
ciples and truths Of both, while dis
carding the absurdities and errors of
each. It is a system of society that
would free all the resources of na
ture and extend the freedom of men;
a system that would leave to each the
product of his toll and to society Its
just wealth: a system that would cul
tivate a spirit of independence and
self-reliance among men and estab
lish a social edifice whose . corner
stone would be tvpical of justice. It
is neither socialism nor anarchism
and its advocates are neither social
ists nor anarchists. It Is supported
by an increasing army of reformers
Inspired by Henry George and led by

It is announced from Washington
that the republican campaign com
mittee "looks for the wiping out of the
populist party in Nebraska" at the
coming election. That is a very strange
delusion. If the republicans should
carry every county in the state, which
is an utter Impossibility, that would
not wipe out the populist party. It
would still continue to exist and stand
by the principles it has advocated for
the last ten vears. Such wild talk
bv the republicans only shows that
they are indeed in desperate straits.
If. as Mr. De Hart says, the total
money of the United States is two bil
lion dollars and the total wealtn is
one hundred billions, then there must
be fifty dollars of wealth to every dol
lar of money. This would certainlv
destroy Mr. Del Mar's theory of "all
money Is the unit of money." unless we
take some other factor Into considera
tion. If each dollar of coin effects on
the avratre fifty Tohanees in a year.
then the total efficiency of the two
billions would be th same as one hun
dred billions effecting but one ex
change in a year. But now sunDOse
from some cause the two billions
should have a lower rate of efficiency,
sav. twenty-five exchanges a year.
could we sav that the total wealth Is
one hundred billions?
The Schiller Piano has always been the favorite with people wishing
a really good Piano at a moderate price. In short, it has not a
single equal at the price. Their success along this line has in
spired the company to attempt something higher. The new High
Grade Schiller it the result. This, like the medium grade, is the
best yet produced for the money. The price is necessarily some
higher, but just as low in proportion to quality.
