    POOR DEGENEKATK VERMONT
What a solid and permanent republi
can majority can do toward the de
generation of the whole people of, a
state is shown by some'statistics that
have been brought out in the triangulr
fight for governor in Vermont. They
have some sort of a state agency for
the sale of liquor there and the sales
show that from these agencies, not in
cluding the boot-legging and drug
store sales, over one-quarter of a mil
lion dollars5 worth of liquor was le
gally' required by a population of 182,-'
356 people for medicinal purposes, and
the .health reports show no epidemic
or undue prevalence of disease! j
That is not the worst of it. Some
months ago Dr. Ashbel P. Grinnell of
Burlington read a paper1 before the
medico-legal society of New York on
the consumption of stimulating drugs
in Vermont, which attracted, much at
tention at the time. He found by in
quiry that "in the regular drug stores
and in 160 of the 172 general stores in
the state of Vermont they sell every
month 3,300,000 doses of opium, besides
what they dispense in patent medi
cines, and besides what the doctors
dispense, which gives IY2 doses of op
ium to every man and woman in the
state of Vermont above the age of 21
years every day in the year."
That is the condition that fifty years
of republican rule has resulted in, in
the ancient homes of the Puritans. The
same tort of degeneration is observ
able in the nation at large, though not
to the same extent, since the republi
can3 took charge of the national gov
ernment. No doubt it would have been
as extensive if the party had been as
certain of national majorities as the
state of Vermont has been. A few
missionaries sent to opium-eating Ver
mont would perhaps do as much good
as if they were sent to opium-eating
China. There are several states in the
union which have had just as perma
nent and solid democratic majorities,
but no such degeneration is noticeable.
Bourbon rule is bad enough, but not
half as bad as that of this "God and
morality" party.
SUBLIME AND AWFUI
To describe the barbaric splendors
of the privileged few who have ac
cumulated millions from franchises
voted to them by the people, new
words have to be invented. The ac
count given In the special telegram
to the Record-Herald of the Vander
bilt ball that cost $100,000 has the fol
lowing paragraph:
In the panels of the room are set
large mirrors, in front of which
gilt consols. American beauty
roses were massed on the console
tables and mantels, being reflected
many times by the numerous mir-
Tors. " ' " ' ' ' ":
The editor of The Independent has a
pretty fair reference library, but
neither in dictionaries, cyclopedias or
other works could he find out what
"consols" were. He knew that the
word "console," aside from its ordi
nary meaning to comfort and sooth,
was used as an architectural term
meaning a sort of bracket to support
a cornice, but the other word was be
yond his ken. It was probably used
to duly impress the common herd with
the unknown, mysterious, wonderful
and awful splendor of the Vanderbilts,
so that they should be duly reverent
to those "to whom God in his infinite
wisdom had confided the property in
terests of the country." It is to be
sincerely hoped that it did have that
effect The sons of the men who made
a gift to Vanderbilt of a franchise for
the New York Central worth hundreds
of millions are likely to be duly im
pressed with "gilt consols." The
breed has not improved any since
the time in which the elder Vander
bilt lived and flourished.
that all the great, fundamental econ
omic truths are also hoary with age.
Some years ago the editor of The In
dependent in hi3 .ardent study of
economics often Imagined that he had
thought out something new, but It was
never long afterwards, as he pursued
his studies, until he came across -the
same Idea fully and completely stated
In some authoritative work on politi
cal economy. So he has long since j
given up the idea of promulgating any r
new truth and contents . himself in j
trying to put into the cvery-day lan
guage the old 'truths, recognizing that
the form In' which they ary stated in t
the .great volumes often makes them ;
incomprehensible to' the common man.
It is well to remember how the
mind Is ' influenced with meaningless
catch phrases. The phrase "sound ;
money" is absolutely meaningless. No '
sort, of study of it enables a man to j
attach any meaning to it. None of
those who used it ever attempted to
define It, Yet it had a wonderful ef-
feet upon the voter.
This '.'balance of trade" phrase is a
sophistry that . has been in use for
more than a hundred years. Its use in
the last presidential election controlled
many votes. That question played a
very prominent '. part in politics about
sixty years ago. In speaking upon it,
Daniel Webster said (Life and
Speeches, vol.2. III., page 118) :
"By an unfavorable balance of
trade it means that state of things
In which importation exceeds ex
portation. It is said that if a na
tion continue a commerce like
this it must be rendered bankrupt.
The fallacy of this argument con-
sists in supposing, that, whenever .
the value of Imports exceeds that
of exports, a debt Is created to the
extent of the difference.-. . . The
excess of imports over exports, in
truth, usually shows the gains, not
the losses of trade."
It will be seen that what The In
dependent has said about that re
publican sophistry is nothing new. It
has only been reasserting economic
laws long since established and ac
cepted as true by all thinking men.
CHANGE THEIR ATTITUDE
The English reviews are making
savage criticism of America and Amer
icans. This government is accused of
a design to annex Canada and all the
South American republics. The Sat
urday Review remarks: '
"It is unfortunate if not excep
tional that the United States can
not be satisfied with the plain,
straightforward policy of - self-interest
without attempting to ex
plain it as a disinterested and
highly moral position. It was on
this basis that the war with Spain
was undertaken, resulting in the
Philippines being annexed and Cu
ba, being put under the heel." . . .. .;
Not long ago The Independent re
marked that the Boer war being ended
and the United States being no longer
necessary as a base of supplies for the
British, the soft solder of . the British
press and British office-holders would
come to an end. The marrying of Am
erican girls to lords and dukes, the
fawning of the New York snobocracy
upon the English aristocrats and the
condescention of the nobility is not
what binds, nor their absence what
dissevers the two nations. It is the
contact of commercial interests and
needs in time of war. England having
made a tool of the administration in
her imperialistic enterprises and now
having no further need of its services,
instantly changes her attitude. If the
Boer war was still being prosecuted
and the British ministry still needed
the assistance of the United States as
a base Of supplies, no such paragraph
as the one quoted above would ever
have appeared . in a prominent English
paper.

HOW LONG WILL IT FLOAT?
The warnings that The Independent
has been giving concerning this credit
balloon that the trust promoters and
banks have sent kiting ten thousand
feet high are being re-echoed in Eu
rope. In a recent article the French
economist, Leroy-Beaulleu, says:
"It seems, nevertheless, that for
a year pa' the successful daring
of the rican financiers has
been turning a little into presump
tion. Their gigantic scaffold of
trusts would : hardly seem proof
now against every strain. They
have failed in their effort to keep
copper at a price the double of
what it costs to get it from the
general run of good mines. Their
great steel trust also inspires"
doubts. It seems now as if they
were beginning to see a scarcity
of capital for the support of all
this succession of syndicate and
consolidations. And it would not
be surprising if within 12' or 18
months the United States should
suffer a violent speculative reac
tion, if not a thorough collapse."
The constant demand from Wall
street for "more money" with which
to keep their credit balloon afloat, the
desperate and futile efforts of Secre
tary Shaw to furnish it, together with
the fact that for every additional dol
lar added to the currency there are ten
dollars of credit piled on top of it,
makes one doubt whether the balloon
can be kvpt afloat for 12 or 18 months.
. THE OLD SOPHISTRIES
The remark of Mr. Van Vorhis In
last week's Independent that the mod
ern sophistries are hoary with age
should be followed with the statement
Hon. J? A. Simpson, Secretary of the
Board of Education of San Francisco,
Cal., writes : M : - '
"I have found Peru na a n ideal tonic.
Some months ago 1 suffered with neu
rasthcnla (systemic catarrh), caused
by too close application to. off ice work.
My system seemed worn out and I felt
far from well. I found Peruna bene
tited me very much. It built up the
entire system and made me feel like a
new man. I believe it is well worthy
the high praise bestowed upon lt."-
J. A. SIMPSON.
Systemic catarrh always gives fair
warning of its approach, and can be
easily warded off by the proper treat
ment, Floating brown specks before
the eyes, mental confusiop, fits of ner
vous headache, sleeplessness, flashes of
heat, chilly sensations, palpitation, irri
tability, despondency; any of these
symptoms or all of them should he
promptly met by the use of Peruna. v.
Congressman E. V. Brookshire, from
Indiana, in a recent letter from Wash
ington, D. C, says :

Is a good tonic and a safe catarrh cure."

ROOSEVELT'S DEFENSE
There has been so much criticism of
the speeches of the president on the
trust question, he has felt the neces
sity of making a reply. In this reply
which was given in his speech at
Fitchburg, Mass., he said:
"Now, it does not do anybody I
' any good, and it will do most of
us a great deal of harm to take
steps which will check any "prop
er growth in a corporation. ; We
wish not to penalize but to reward
a great captain of Industry, or the
men banded together in a corpora
tion who have the business fore
thought and energy . necessary to
. build up a great industrial enter
prise. Keep that in mind."
What the president means by "a
great corporation" may be gathered
from the following sentence in -the
same speech: ' s '
"If some of those who have seen
cause for, wonder in what I have
said this fall on the-subject of
great corporations, which are pop
ularly, although with technical in
accuracy, known as trusts."
That is the president's answer to the
demand that he enforce the Sherman
act and institute criminal prosecu
tions aeainst them. He will not do it.
That would 'penalize them." "We wish
not to penalize but to reward" the
trusts.
In the same speech he says:
"I ask you to ponder on the ut
ter folly of the man who either in
. a spirit of rancor. or in a spirit of
folly says, 'Destroy the trusts.'"
Thst is the position of the president
on trusts carefully defined and made in
reply to criticism. He will have no
part in destroying the trusts or in
prosecuting them under the criminal
:'" r.-,-''' . .;;!7 -..
law. He will not enforce the laws on
the statute books made for their sup
pression. It will .be seen that the
trusts have in President Roosevelt the
most astute defender that has yet ap
peared, and that he, himself, frankly
makes the statement in such language
that there can be no doubt about it.
He impresses this statement upon his
hearersjn the following words:
... ; "I want you to thiqk of what I
.have said because it represents all
'. the 'sincerity and" earnestness ttyat"
F have, and I sayto you here from
this platform nothing that I have
not already stated and nothing
that" I. would not say at a private
table with any of the biggest cor
poration managers of the land."
There is no doubt that President
Roosevelt would make those state
ments to "the biggest corporation
managers in the land." They would
likely rise from their seats, reach
across the table 'and all want to shake
hands with him at once while they
were giving him assurances that they
were, first, last and all the time for
him for president in 1904 and every
year afterwards as long as he should
live.
In this same speech he tells what he
would have done about the trusts,
ri.st of all he wants a constitutional
amendment, which perhaps could be
obtained sometims toward the last of
the , century. His further action he
states in reply to the one who would
do something effective, as follows:
"I will try to find out the evil.
I will seek to apply remedies,
which I have already outlined in
other speeches. But if his policy
from whatever motive, whether
hatred, fear, panic, or just sheer
ignorance, is to destroy the trusts
in a way that will destroy all our
prosperity, 'no!' "
Now every man of common sense
knows that it is in the power of the
trusts to produce a panic any day. J.
Pierpont Morgan could go down to
Wall street and issue a lew orders any
morning that would tumble over the
bouse of cards that the trusts with
their watered stock and the banks with
their inflation of credit have built.
Therefore the position of the presi
dent is this: "As lor.g as the trusts
will threaten to produce a panic. If
any action is taken against them, to
every suggestion to do so, I answer,
'no!' "
There , is but one conclusion to be
reached from all this. If. any man
honestly believes . that the .trusts
shouldbe overthrown, he cannot sup
port Theodore Roosevelt or his party.
To do so is to defeat the very thing
that he wishes to see accomplished.
INJURE. RELIGION
TV.e Watchman. 'a Baptist paper, af
ter quoting thp rvords of President
Baer, makes thr following remarks:
"I? this means anything it means
that those who control the prop
yl ty interests of the country are
Christian m.r,; that God gave
them this control because they
know better what is for the inter
est of tLe p-o than the people
themselves, and that the proper at
tirud of labniu'g men toward cap-
itolt?l3 is not that of criticism or
resistance or refusal to work, or
th i f set t 10 eny means to im
prove their condition,' but humble
acceptance of what the capitalists ,
do for them ss the expression of
the divine will. We do not won-
der th?t laboring men who imagine
that Christianity ihvolve3 such a
conception tf Gcd as this, and
that capitalists, vmany of whom
have , gained theh wealth by. op
pression and iiieu&T practices, are
; his repnwentalives, repudiate the'
churches and all Christian institu
tions. President Baer's sentence
will do more harm to the cause of
religion than he can ever atone,
for. And we quote his words,' not
to give thera currency, but to re
pudiate for on:i.tlves all that they
assert, and all that they imply."
The Independent ' does not concur
with the Watchman's view that the
cant of Baer will injure religion. .It
will perhaps have a tendency to wake
up the church and bring some, of the
preachers to their senses. They will
bogin to see where, they, are drifting,
that is, if they are not wholly de

JOINT DISCUSSIONS
There is a growing demand every
where that the republicans shall come
out of their holes and meet their op
ponents in joint. discussion before the
people. The .cowardly republicans
have for . the j last eight years been
afraid to meet their opponents any
where. They ; will resort to anything
to avoid, meeting, an opponent before
the . people. In every ; campaign the
people are . a jury, and all : the facts
should be presented to ; them so they
may intelligently, decide the case. To,
refuse to discuss public questions is
to hold ; the . people .. in contempt, to
sneak away and avoid . discussion and
endeavor! to : prevent - the people from
hearing,; theuestions debated is , an
attempt to deceive the jury that. Is .to
decide the-case. The rich can : buy
the newspapers, that is, most.of them,
and present their side of the case ev
ery day- in the year. The poor man
finds, his side of the case, excluded
from the newspapers by the money of
the rich and: he himself . Is always ex
cluded, from the platforms where the
side of , the corporations is presented
by the ablest speakers that money can
hire. A party that; denies to the poor,
man the right. to hear, the case dis
cussed by able men on both sides is not
only cowardly, but vicious.. The re

more dare to meet their opponents In

"WB WILL MAKE A PANIC"
When a bank fails it is the poor and
the hard-working' business man who
loses and not toy any great extent the
rich.1 It stops the' high salaries, of
bank officials and transfers them to
receivers and the, men they employ, but
the receiver and his employes are tak
en from the old "set that ran the bank
before it broke. A panic take3 . the
savings of the poor which have been
secured by the hardest toil and the
closest economy practiced for years.
The money put in the bank by these is
not annihilated. Somebody gets it and
makes no return' for it. In the last,
fifty years billions of dollars have been
taken from the poor in this way and
billions more are to be taken in the
same way in the' near future.
Without counting the national banks
there were 1,234 bank failures from
1864 to 18967-with liabilities of $220,
629,988. Arid from 1863 to 1882, 87 na
tional banks smashed with a total loss
to depositors of $7,000,000. In the
panic of '93, 141 national banks sus
pended in three months, and 415 pri
vate : banks, trust . .': companies., co
lapsed. The total ' loss can never be
computed. For months millions of
men and women were but of employ
ment, and the destitution in the great
cities will never be forgotten by those
who saw it.
Remember that plutocracy caused
that suffering ' Intentionally. It was
