Sept. 11, 1902. - THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT. . 3 WHY DO THEY SUBMIT? The Oppression of the Many by tha Few Has Gob on for Apt Whin at Any Tim the Many Could Have Ruled A book has recently been issued which is very valuable for the facts it contains bearing upon present issues before the people. Its title is "Organ ized Self Help," written by Herbert N. Casson and published by Peter Ecler, 35 Fulton street, New York. Speaking of the conditions that pre vailed in England not so very long ago, Mr. Casson says: "It was only the best skilled me chanics who could hope for 48 cents per day. Other workingmen were to have their rate of wages fixed by the constable, and were to be paid from 20 to 36 cents per day, and board themselves. Any employer who paid more than these fixed rates was fined, and so was any worker who demand ed more. The wage-worker who tried to raise the market price of his labor was regarded as an anarchist and a criminal and dragged before the near est judge." Things were not much better in this country: "When this century began, wages in New York were 40 cents a day, and in Baltimore 36 cents. The city of Wash ington was built by workers who got not more than 50 cent3 a day. The diggers, choppers, hod-carriers, etc., $70 a year, and worked as all laborers did, from sunrise to sunset. "Food was by no means cheap in those days. Pork was 20 cents a pound, corn was 75 cents a bushel, wheat $2.10 a bushel, bread 8 cents a loaf. As McMaster admits, 'nothing but pel feet health, steady work, sobriety, the strictest economy, and the help of his wife could enable a married man to live.' "Thousands of working people were driven by such barbarities into the western wilderness. There they lived in the dense forests, preferring Ind ians and wildcats to the public offi cials. Scattered along the banks of the rivers could be seen the 'half-face camps' of the settlers three-sided log cabins and quilt3 of deerskin hung upon the fourth side, and a roof made of sapling and bark. Even here they were not safe from the capitalists, and hundreds of families of these squat- WANTED.

La bor divided Its vote, when, if the men who worked had voted together, they could at any time have taken charge of the government just as It has in recent years in New Zealand. The re lief that has come from the conditions described above has come from work ins together and bringing an organ ized force to bear upon government. The plutocrats are few and the work ers are many, yet the plutocrats rule in a country where we have the Austral ian ballot and manhood suffrage. Thousands of the workers still live in the utmost penury in these United States and when they die, are burled in thirty-cent coffins at public ex pense in the potters' fields of the great cities. Where the millionaires are, there also are the paupers. In com parison with the whole population, the millionaires are few and each of them has but one vote, but they rule and the many submit. MORE TROUBLE The Indian Right Association Locks the Plans of the Thieving Republican Syndicates The republicans; have adopted the most modern methods in their steal ing. They no longer steal singly, but they organize syndicates and steal on the modern trust plan. They planned to steal $10,000,000 from the Indians and had everything their own way for a while. Then that pesky Indian Rights society began to make trouble. The Pender Times is right in the heart of the country where this busi ness is, going on and speaks of it as follows: A special dispatch to the Sioux City Tribune, from Washington, of last evening says: It is estimated $10,000,000 worth of Indian lands in the west are now a prey to designing operators. Com plaints to Commissioner Jones are so numerous he will take Immediate steps to stop acquisition of lands in this way. Jones says: "If It Is not stopped we shall have the biggest scandal on our hands that this office ever had to deal with." The disposition of deceased allot tees' land3 is conducted by the govern ment as guardian for tha heirs under the law. authorizing the "heirs to" sell their inheritance with provisions that the sale be approved by the secretary of the interior. This scheme is used to secure Indian lands below ' their actual value. It Is said a number of Indian agents have been co-operating with the land sharks, striving to pre vent competition, and to cloak their transactions with the secretary. Attorneys immediately discovered an avenue of profit and dishonest offi cials of the Indian department had only to connive with designing pur chasers to enhance their income. Jones says the government is the guardian of the Indian under the law and he will recommend advertising and competitive bids. The . Indian Rights association in Philadelphia has been making an Investigation and two months aeo sent an agent west to quietly get the facts. He, reports wholesale plans on foot to defraud Indians. It is probable Jones will set on foot an investigation in various quarters. The department has amended the former rules. The principal changes are said to be to make it optional to probate heirship land. Two prominent members of the tribe can certify as to their heirs. Another change is that an affidavit must be made by the buyer that he did not give the Indian "side money." State University Opening The regular session of the state uni versity at Lincoln will begin Tuesday of next week, September 16. The dates set apart for registration are Tuesday, September 16, to the follow ing Monday, September 22. By these dates all students should be regist ered, for any student who is not so registered, will be charged an extra fee of $3.00. The present registration will be at tended by several new features. Fof the first time, students of the law col lege will register on the same dates as students of the other colleges, in stead of a week later. Students en tering the new college of medicine will register at the same time. The de tails of registration also will be changed. Hitherto new students have registered in the armory, but this year all new students, as well as old, will register in the registrar's office. - This office is now in room 102 in University Hall (center of campus) instead of room 112 as formerly. The registrar's office having been widened in scope, now includes the former offices of the university examiner, registrar, record er and publisher. All of these are now unified and centered in the registrar's office. Consequently, all inquiries in regard to entrance, credit, and general administrative work, should be di rected to this office alone. ' For the assistance of the new stu dents, unacquainted with the univer sity, there will be at the various sta tions in Lincoln, as well as upon the university campus, a full corps of uni versity registration guides. These guides will be ready to assist students to register and to obtain rooms and board. The guides may be distin guished by a red badge bearing the words, "U. of N. Registration Guide," in black letters. , The attendance at the university this year promises to be large. Much interest has been manifested through out the state in the college of "medi cine, and inauiries point to an in creased attendance in the college of law. and in the schools of agriculture, mechanical arts, and domestic science These last schools' are all practical schools, offering courses for students who do not possess a high school edu cation for entering the university. The opening address by Chancellor An drews will occur on Sat.urdav. Sep tember 20. and the first university con vocation on Monday, September 22. Both of these exercises will be held in the Soldiers' Memorial Hall. Classes will meet for organization on Monday, September 22,' The program of classes is now ready. Bulletins of the vari ous courses offered by the university, programs of classes, and any other In formation " will, be gladly furnished upon application to the Registrar. University News Letter. FIGHTING A TRUST The Fusion Attorney General of Colorado Brings Proceedings Against the Smelter Trust When Nebraska had a fusion attor ney general he brought an action against the Starch trust and tried to save a large manufacturing interest to the state of Nebraska, but the mul let heads of the town would have none of it. They fought, abused and ma ligned Attorney General Smyth and did all that was in their power to beat him and his party at the ensuing elec tion. Now Nebraska City's great man ufacturing plant stands idle and no doubt will soon be dismantled. The fusion attorney general of Colo rado has begun similar proceedings against the great trust of that state, which has watered its stock 1,400 per cent and is paying seven per cent in terest on the whole amount, it being able to do that by having established a perfect monopoly in the state. This Colorado attorney general will likely meet with the same fate that Smyth did in this state, but he Is going bravely ahead. This generation may reject him as all the generations have rejected the true reformers from the Man of Gallllee even unto the present tin.8, for "truth is forever' on the scaffold and error on the throne." This Colorado attorney says in his brief: "A corporation organized for the purpose of creating a monopoly is Or ganized for an unlawful purpose and should be dissolved. "This corporation has been in ex istence only three years, and yet with such celerity has it proceeded that it now, as shown by the complaint, has no competition in the state and is su preme in, its control of every branch of the metal industry. With a. plant of less than $7,500,000 in cash value, it dominates the entire mining indus try of the state and pays a dividend of 7 per cent annually on its stock of $100,000,000." The original case was filed last July and the reply of the smelter trust's attorneys, Wolcott and Vaile, was a voluminous brief. The suit was brought to effect the dissolution of the American Smelting and Refining com pany and to prevent further monopoly of the smelting industry in Colorado, with all Its consequent evils. The reply of Attorney General Post to the smelter trust embraces four points: "Touching the question of the right of the attorney general to file the suit." "That the business of a private cor poration becomes a matter of public jurisdiction when it invades a public right." "That a jury is not demandable, 'as of right in quo warranto proceedings." "A discussion of merits before the bill filed." On the .flrs,t point raised the attor ney general taid In part: "It hasu always been peculiarly the office and duty of the attorney gen eral, as the chief law officer of the state, to bring proceedings on be half of the people of the state to for feit the privileges and franchises which were conferred by the state and which had been abused, and to bring these proceedings in the highest judi cial tribunal of the state. ' "Certainly the people of the state of Colorado ought to have free access to their highest and most dignified trib unal for the institution of these caus es. There can be no higher duty to be performed by the attorney general than to bring appropriate proceedings against those who have abused the privileges which the state has grant ed." ' - The brief then cites numerous cases; notably that of the People ex rel At torney General against City Bank of Leadville, In the Seventh Colorado, where such leave was granted, on be ing asked. Ten other similar cases are cited and the conclusion Is that "the records show that in all applications to assume original jurisdiction, when the case was cognizable by other courts than the supreme court, the pe tition was read and a rule entered on the defendants to show cause." On the second point, that of a pri vate corporation's business becoming public, the attorney general reaches his best argument and goes after the smelter trust without gloves. He says: "The respondents have organized a corporation for the express purpose of creating a monopoly of the business of smelting and refining ores in the state of Colorado, and by so doing have violated the common law and the public policy of the state of Colorado, and thereby incurred the penalty of dissolution, and the corporation should be dissolved. "Monopolies are contrary to the com mon law. Even if it be conceded to be true that the state, in the absence of a statute, could not reach out to punish the Individuals engaged in the formation of a monopoly, yet it Is well recognized that the state has control over the corporations which she cre ates, and can regulate their conduct in all instances, even where it would have no power to regulate the conduct of a natural person. Even where in dividuals have entered Into contracts and combinations to create monopol ies, such contracts have been held void when they came before the court upon the : question of maintaining a right or preventing a wrong growing out of such contracts. "The defendants have organized a corporation for the express purpose of creating a monopoly in a business in which the public of the entire state i3 personally interested, and it has., im pressed upon its business a public character justifiable in this court, the moment that such interest is abused. ; "The stat is seeking to have the fact judicially ascertained whether or not the defendants have created such a monopoly that this court can stav a further abuse of its franchise. This is a , question to be judicially ascer tained by the court, and to be deter mined from the circumstances. "! cannot feel that the character of the combination is , eleemosynary, or that it was made for the purpose of procurine better waees "for Its officers and employes, or to regulate their hours: of labor, or to procure Just and fair treatment for their employes. If this is the purpose of the combina tion, then counsel for the defendants has a right to rely on the statute." "It Is not the fcabi of corporations to show their vpower in the first in stance. This corporation' Eas been In existence only three years; a time hardly long enough to enable It to outline its plans, and yet with such celerity has. it proceeded, that now as shown by the complaint, It hasAno, com petition In the state and is supreme in every branch of the metal indus tries. As I can show when we are be-r fore the court, with a plant of less than $7,500,000 in cash value, it domi nates the entire mining industry of the state and pays a dividend of 7 per cent annually- on its stock of $100, 000,000." . ..: - JUDGE KELLAR The Most Infamous of the Long Line Who - Have Disgraced the American '- Bench. . , The decision of Judge -Kellar of the United States court ; that miners on strike shall not be the recipients of food or money, and that any person found guilty of making such contribu tions to their support will be. put in jail, is one of the 7 most remarkable legal opinions ever handed down by any court. " i "-." " - There are different ways of fight ing, and none of them is more effective than cutting off the supplies of the enemy. It is against the rules and regulations of civilized (!) war what ever that may be to poison the water in wells or rivers or reservoirs, but it is quite, de riguer to starve the enemy into a state of submission or. number less graves. That is war, and every body knows what war is, but it has been well said that peace has her vic tories no less renowned than those of, war, and just about as merciless. This Kellar opinion is one of the victories of this white-winged, broqding peace, that, like the rain, falls von the unjust when they have their umbrellas with them and on the just any time. Fre quently the unjust protect themselves by appropriating the .umbrellas of their feebler brethren. It deserves a place in history along side the famous Taney ; decision, for it says that a striker has no rights that are respected in the highest courts of our land, and that any other per sons believing that hehas do so at their own peril. Not only that, but the families of these strikers must be pun ished and, if necessary,: to bring them to a state of contrition,; when they will take whatever their employers may be minded to give themtheir wives and babies must be starved;also. ' Men like Judge Kellar are a thou sand times more dangerous to the status quo than shiploads of anarch ists. The anarchist rails out against law and. order and government until we love them for the enemies they have made. He merely says that law is infamous, and we turn away in dis gust. But this federal judge proves the anarchist contention t and makes the law an infamous thing. : The anarchist howls against man-made institutions; this judge overrulessthe- mandates' of the. Most High, and sets aside mercy and loving kindness and justice. f He brings reproach "upon the law and is eminently respectable, while wedlock Herr Most in jail for merely talking disrespectfully Of 'it. " Let us be merciful. Judge Taney did as much as any abolitionist of them all to end human slavery; Judge Kel lar may come in time to be remem bered as one of the , last of "the unjust judges who "turned1 aside, after lucre and perverted ; judgrheht."

I have read it ever since it first ttarted and, would not be without it. AN ABSOLUTE DESPOT Has the Public Any Right That a Trust la .Bound to Respect or Is Bound to "' Submit? Of all the trusts in the United States that which controls anthracite coal is the most absolute and the least re sponsible. The Standard Oil company, while it fixes prices, does not own all tb.3 oil fields. It cannot cut off the sup ply. The beef trust is merely the larg est : ad er in the market. Millions of pounds of beef are handled by inde pendent dealers. The steel trust is only one of many manufacturers of iron. It 6wn3 mines and ships, and is the greatest single, manufacturer of steel, but Jf it closed its plants the country would not be left without steel of any kind. The coal trust, however, is absolute. When it ceases opera tions not a ton of anthracite coal can be mined. ' Where it does not own the mines it controls the transportation facilities, and its fiat Is law. When it has nothing to arbitrate there are no Independent concerns that can have something to arbitrate. Competition in respect to anthracite coal is smoth ered. ;.:', ' f" -'," It is not strange that in the 20th century the American people are look ing askance at this industrial relic of the 16th century; Nor I3 not surpris ing that they are coming to challenge not only the moral, but the legarright of any .body of men to exercise the despotic powers of absolute monopoly, no matter where or how they acquired I Analysis Shows it to be one of the Most Valuable Tet Discovered Several Lincoln parties , have re cently become interested in a group of gold mines situated on the western slope of the Cascade mountains, near Yale, British Columbia, Dominion of Canada. Henry Stanislawsky, general manager of the company, the Mt. Bak er & Yale, of WThatcom, Wash., was in the city a couple of days this .week. He traveled to Chicago and New York where he will open offices" for the handling of his company's stock. His property is within five miles . of the Canadian Pacific railway and about the same distance from the head of navigation on the Fraser river. There are seven claims 1,500 feet square, through four of which the vein shows the entire length to a width of more than 100 feet. On three of the remaining four claims there are 20 foot veins, and on the other an 8-foot one. The veins, which are clearly de fined, ire composed chiefly of por phyry, feldspar and quartz, carrying free gold and sulphide of iron. The country rock is metamorphis slate. The strike of the vein is northwesterly and the dip almost vertical. Nothing tnat could be said of this proposition interests the public like the -report of Mr. R. B. Symington, M. E., who has been in the exclusive employ of D. O. Mills, Alvinza Hay ward and P. B, Cornwall of San Fran cisco in their joint mining operations for the last ten years or more. After stating that the British Queen propo sition is much richer than the. Tread well, he continues: "I made careful tests of the whole width of the vein, having personally seen the quartz broken off the cliffs of rock, getting fair samples and making my own analysis. The results are re markable for showing the nearly uni versal distribution of the gold through out this immense mass. My tests war rant the calculation of an average yield of $3 per ton, and a great prob ability of considerably higher amount, as the actual average of my assays was over $9 per ton, but the presence of free coarse gold in some of the tests (though I specially tried to avoid in cluding free coarse gold) probably caused this. The results at this little mill have given $4 per ton, and I know it is impossible to save a decent per centage in it. "There are literally millions of tons above the water level which can be quarried. Two hundred thousand tons a year could be worked by a 160-stamp mill, as the rock is excellent for easy crushing, and the profit on this would be $400,000 at the low grade of gross yield of $3 per ton. Even at 2 per ton of gross yield there is a large profit and there are reasonable grounds for expecting the yield to be more rather than less than my estimate." Mr. Dalziel G. Smith, in his report of June 4, states: "The claims extend in a continuous line for about 4,500 feet by 1,500 feet, wide. "The vein which extends for 4,500 feet shows a width of from 125 to 150 feet and is clearly defined throughout its entire length. "I estimate the amount of ore above water level at 8,500,000 tons. At 850 tons per day, which is about the ca pacity of a 240-stamp mill in this kind of rock, this would be sufficient to last for,33 years." "There is an 'abundant supply of water on the property, and sufficient power could be obtained from the mid dle fork alone to run a 240-stamp mill as a head of water of 500 feet, could be obtained with three-quarters of a mile of piping. The quantity of water running in this stream at the time of my ; inspection being about 750 cubic feet per minute. "There is a super-abundant supply of good timber on the property, com posed chiefly of fir, cedar and white pine. So far as the actual mining is concerned, very little timber would be required as this vein could be worked open cast like a quarry. . "The climate here is equable, and work could be carried on all the year round. "Labor is plentiful, as Yale is with in a few hours of Vancouver, and oth er large cities, such as Seattle, Ta coma and Victoria, are within a day's journey. As the vein would be quar ried, no skilled labor, with the excep tion of the mill men would be required. From my experience in British Colum bia, I think all the necessary labor could be hired for $2.25 per day. Each man ought to put out about six tons of this rock per day of ten hours, as it is bf a very seamy nature. "Being within so short a distance of the head of navigation on the Fra ser river, all supplies could be had at very little over Pacific coast rates. "After careful consideration, I esti mate that this ore could be mined and milled for 84 cents per ton. each succeeding period of six weeks, 40 stamps. This would give returns in seven months." ,. There is a limited amount of treas ury stock that may be purchased if application is made in time. The de sire is to dispose of enough to raise money for the erection of a 40-stamp mill. When this is accomplished the stock will he withdrawn from, tbo mar ket. It is selling for 15 C3nts per share par value one dollar, and may be cured by addressing James G.
