A HUMAN STANDARD
Mr. llingstn Replies to the Indepen
dent's Comments on Ills Standard
of Human Foot-Founds
Editor Independent: In observa
tions on comments by the editor it
may be said tnat in speaking of inno
vations there was none. A horse pow
er is a definite number of foot pounds.
As to the number for the various
number of units in the standard scale,
that is left to congress; the principle
is what we need to discuss in the field;
have that adopted and it will make
little difference what number of
pounds congress decides upon as the
dollar representative in the scale. We
are not attempting to fix the price of
bread in the market; we can't do it;
the buyer and seller will do that for
all time to come; and to meddle with,
further than to prevent dishonesty of
methods, is inexcusable on the part of
congress. But it is its sworn duty
to regulate values (not prices) and
the buyer ana seller look to them to
supply an honest measure whereby
they can fix prices. Congress up to
date has supplied only with frauds,
not one of their standards have ever
measured values.
As to che average of energy varying
from time to time required in its pro
duction, and of a bushel of potatoes,
It most assuredly will vary, but we
are not at all concerned with that fact
in trying to ascertain the requirements
of a measure for values. Not for bread
and potatoes, pounds (not foot-pounds)
measures tnem and leaves their pres
ent values unmeasured. That table
from Dunn has as much true bearing
upon the fixation of value measure
ments as it as a weather prognosti
cator for the year 2000 A. D.
When bread or potatoes enter the
markets to have prices set upon them
they are the product of forces already
expended; they are congealed yester
days. The marked distinction of all
commodities and another is this, sin
gly or combined in any quantities they
do not of themselves possess a hu
man want. Not in the case of the
farmer's live stock where its nearest
approach may be found, for want is
there, but it is not human. If the dis
tinctions are of immense importance,
their breadth is such that none are in
capable of comprehending them. Yes
terday and time past is not and can
not be made to be the present moment
although its congealed product is here;
ft has entpri1 thA Tiflst timft limit at its
completion, its cost in power, human
or other, is a past expenditure a yes
terday. Of the present moments, forces and
their present rate of expenditure, we
must gauge them all by the human,
which has this distinction, (despite the
worst the Magian economists have
been able to accomplish) it is the only
force that can make intelligent bids in
market; the only force that can im
part market price. Watch its active
and instantaneous operation in the
changes of the ticker in any chamber
of commerce. There is no congelation
about that and yet it is in the most
direct relation to the past; it sits in
judgment upon its forms correctly or
otherwise; but it does so; it never at
tempts at any rate to modify the last
year's drouth, or to charitably today
provide for the now dead sufferers of
the grasshopper scourge of the 70's.
That it is equally blind to the suffer
ing avoidable in the future is its great
offense; but such as it is, it is the
"now." Commodities are of the past
energies; values of the now. That
they should be restricted to their only
source, as shown by the operations on
the market, is a self-evident fact, were
it merely a matter of truthfulness
with no great results consequent upon
its decision. It is also clear that the
present lives by consuming the con
gelations of the past. What do our
systems declare and our political plat
forms, even those that refuse to de
clare themselves upon the question of
standards, but this: the human being
Is a commodity. The congealed past to
be consumed? Will some of these
platiorm economists explain to us
what is cannibalism?
We are not concerned with indi
vidual differences in fixing a standard
scale. We are not proposing to meas
ure acquired; accomplishments; they
all go where they belong with the
mechanic's tools of the past and as
any other W , commodity to be
bickered for between buyer and seller
but the man himself is superior to
all other things .on the market; and
ve demand that recognition at the
hands of congress. Until they comply
it is not In the power of man to erase
the fact of cannibalism from their
records. " h;'" ELLIN GSTON.
Minnehaha, Minn.
(Like most contentions, the chief
difficulty between Mr. Ellingston and
Ine Independent i3 a disagreement on
the meaning of terms. With him,
"price" is something vastly different
from "value." The Independent de
fines "price" as. "value stated in terms
of money." If a horse will exchange
for two cows, it is evident that the
horse has value and the cows have val
ue. The horse is of the value of two
cows. Each cow is of the value of
one-half a horse. But the owner of
the hor3e might desire to exchange
him for wheat. Now, a cow will ex
change for 25 bushels of wheat; hence,
the horse is of tne value of 50 bushels
of wheat. It is evident that there
should be some common term an ar
bitrary one by which these various
values might be stated. The value of
the horse has no name until we apply
money terms to it. As soon as we do,
ihen the values of all the other things
can be given appropriate names. And
tnis we call "price." If we name the
horse's value $100, then a little cal
culation shows the price of a cow to
be $50, and the price of a bushel of
wheat to be $2.
Certainly, congress has never sup
plied a standard that has "ever meas
ured values," for the good and suffic
ient reason that values cannot be
measured. We frequently speak of
"measuring tne depth of affection,"
Dut no one ever seriously believed that
affection can be measured by any
standard adopted by congress. Con
gress has given us the dollar as a unit
in price calculations, but it does not
measure anything in the strict sense
of the word.- And it would not if we
changed the name to "human foot
pounds." It is not the sworn duty of congress
to regulate all values. The constitu
tion gives it power to "coin money and
regulate the value thereof." And that
can only be done by regulating the
supply to suit the demand. The dol
lar of today is different from the dol
lar of 1896. The coin representing it
has not changed in any way, if we ov
erlook slight abrasions. It will pur
chase much less of goods on the aver
age than it did in 1896. Its value is
mucn less than it was in 1896. Evi
dently congress has done nothing to
ward "regulating its value."
- Mr. Ellingston lays great stress on
the yesterdays and the now. There is
no "now," except the fleeting moment
dying at its birth. There is no pres
ent except the point dividing the past
from the future.
Certainly pounds measure the
weight of bread and potatoes. And if
Mr. Ellingston had a standard of hu
man foot-pounds to "measure" their
value, it would have to be based upon
the energies expended in the struggle
to get possession of the bread and po-

prospective purchaser might know that
only 5 foot-pounds of energy had been

Ed. Ind.)
Not so Badly Mixed
Under the caption, "Mr. Thompson
Mixed," the State Journal a few days
ego said:
"The populist newspapers are pub
lishing an interview with W. H.
Thompson, fusion candidate for gov
ernor, which is attracting attention
owing to a misstatement regarding the
personnel of the state board of equali
zation. "The interview indicates that if Mr.
Thompson is as well informed regvrd
ing taxation as he is concerning the
make-up of the board on which he
seeks to serve, he has much to learn,"
pM a gentleman whose attention was
called to the matter. The Interview
purporting to come from Mr. Thomp
son makes him say among other
things: "I propose to see, if I am
elected, that the executive council,
composed of the governor, land com
missioner and treasurer, will raise the
railroad assessments very materially."
nis is the first time any one con
nected with the state government ever
heard of an "executive council." If
Mr. Thompson means the state board
of equalization, that body is composed
of the governor, treasurer and auditor.
The land commissioner is not a mem
ber of the board. It will be remem
bered that the fusion legislature when
? hp.d full control promised to pass a
new revenue law and failed to do so.
When the state board of equalization
was composed of fusionists no "very
material increase" was made in rail
road assessments, thus again demon
strating that promise and fulfillment
are two different things."
The Journal need not worry about
that interview. It was given to the
reporter of a Sioux City paper at the
time of the old settlers' reunion at Da
kota City.- The Independent has had
no opportunity to ask Mr. Thompson
as to the facts; but over in Iowa an
"executive council" makes the railroad
assessment, and the reporter was
doubtless at fault. Mr. Brennan, the
fusion candidate for land commission
er, was at Dakota City that day, and
the chances are that the misstatements
about the personnel of the state board
of equalization were also the report
er's mistake.
The Journal need not worry Mr.
Thompson will know how to assess
the railroads; and he won't call a star
chamber meeting of railroad attor
neys to prepare a "second answer."
Getting Scared
The State Journal is doing consid
vroM wtetilrtg through the republi
can grave-yard these days, but occa
sionally gets an extra nervous spasm
-n pin't help screaming outright.
Hear it: .
"It is considered significant that
the only man who is known thus far
to have bolted the nomination of Mr
Mickey is Ed. A. Fry of the Niobrara
Pioneer. Fry has been known for
years as a consistent and persistent
henchman of E. Rosewater. During
the campaign of two years ago he was
the confidential man employed by
Rosewater to trail about the state.
Take this bolt in connection with the
starting of a newspaper by Frank
Helvey of Nebraska City, another
Rosewater man, to fight at least a
part of the republican ticket, and the
thing begins to have a meaning. Are
these bolts merely preliminary to a
big bolt to come?"
The fact is that the Omaha Bee is
doing more for the republican ticket
than the Journal can possibly do. Rose
water is holding the anti-monopoly,
anti-corporation republicans in line
for the ticket by holding out the idea
that the question of increasing railroad
assessments can be settled by man
damus suits even if the board of
equalization is hostile, being selected
by a conference of railroad lawyers.
The idea is fallacious, but the Bee
holds them in line just the same.
The Journal has no influence except
with brass-collared, corporation re
publican heelers and they would vote
the ticket even if the Journal ceased
to exist.
Of course, if the "big bolt" should
come, as the Journal suspicions, it
would make a rattling of the dry
bones.
The Real Question
The real question in this campaign
Is whether the people want to con
tinue these present prosperous times or
go back to the kind of times we had
under Cleveland. Quiz.
The real question in this campaign
is whether we want the same kind of a
do-nothing legislature, as we had two
years ago under. the control of the cor
porations or do we want a legislature
that will do business. It is not na
tional politics, it's state politics. We
want an administration in the Kearney
reform school that will not be so ex
travagant as to make it necessary to
discharge the chaplain and cut down
at every point as is now the case. We
want a board of equalization that will
assess railroad property at more than
it was ten years ago, instead of the
one we have now, who the leading re
publican paper of the state called upon
to do their duty to the people and
rot to the railroads. Vote for Hon.
W. H. Thompson for governor and for
the balance of the fusion ticket. We
don't want Clevelandism nor the poor
administration we have had in the
last two years. We want, at least, to
try something else. Jason L. Claflin,
in Ord Journal.

stead of decrying Governor Savage for
pardoning Bartley, could have put out
the whole state house gang and prof
ited by the change. The platform of
the republican party is opposite to
what the actions of the officers for
two years have been, and how the peo
ple " can expect any better execution
on a mere platform promise is not
plain. It is, in the first place, a very
poor judgment of human nature that
will compare mickey with the "Little
Giant" Thompson as to his ability.
Maybe Mickey ha"s the wealth in dol
lars, but wealth in dollars Is not to be
compared with wealth in, energy of
mind to meet the demands of better
government. It is not creditable to a
candidate to make a great fuss over
his "stock-raising and farming" in
good duds, in order to catch the farmer
vote. The farmer or the average citi
zen does not care a rap about Mickey's
agricultural tendencies. Has he the
heart of the people in mind, which is
administration of affairs of the state
not the framing of a national policy
so perfectly as Mr. W. H. Thompson,
the fusion candidate for governor? In
fact, with the distrust of the republi
can officials now in office at. the state
house, the Pioneer should prefer see
ing the whole lot retired than to see
the republican party indorsing malad

coming out of Mickey. Ed. A. Fry, in

Ktitntional RJgrht to Objpct
Editor Independent: The history of
our national economic and financial
policy since the civil war is an un
broken record of fatuous ignorance,
emprical experimentation, an insolent
disregard of best established induc
tions of science, among which are tax
ation, on public transportation. That
tnis . service should be rendered the
public at the least cost would seem to
be the only logical deduction. Why
burden it with a tax, a burden which
must be borne by all, but whose ap
plication is local? I say, borne by all,
for indirectly the entire people contri
bute to the corporations. The Fair
bury Journal quotes me as saying:
"The injustice was only apparent in
the school districts."
The application was his.
What I demanded or recommended
was to remove and exempt the corpora
tions from all taxes, believing the ma
chinery for tax gathering could han
dle the adjustment of taxes easier and
honester, and that to compel a cor
poration to collect a certain sum to be
used for the public would be to justify
them in maintaining high freight and
passenger schedules.
As a matter of course, the corpora
tions should be compelled to lower
their rates the entire lump sum of
taxes so rebated.
I agree with you, public ownership
is the only correct solution.
I shall not grin and bear it. I shall
kick and through your paper invite all
my farmer friends to kick with me.

Personally I am at a loss to know
whether to vote the populist or liberal
democratic ticKet this fall. My only
reason for voting the latter would be
to show the extent of the dissatisfied
democrats, or, in other words, "stand
up and be counted." (The liberal dem
ocracy have a pretty ; good populist;
platform it can't make, much differ
ence which you do. Ed. Ind.)
As long a3 plutocracy remains in
control of the government there will
be "nothing to arbitrate."
Australia taught us how to protect

The din of battle was terrific, for the
13-inch gans were hammering away.
nd the steel-clad hulls ot tne vessels
were dented and scarred.
Suddenly the defensive squadron's
flagship showed a pennant.
"Whats that? queried tne com
mander of the offensive fleet. '
"Signal, sir."
"vVhat is it?"
"Commodore Thingumbob signals
Never Touched 'em.
The president said down in Wheeling.
With a show of considerable feeling-
"The truths must be curbed."
But they re still undisturbed.
And go right ahead with their stealing.

He loaned me $150 on a chattel mort

Now that the chilly nights and
mornings of early autumn are with us.
the house mother should see that the
clothing suits the season. It is yet too
early, except in case of delicate chil
dren, to bring out the flannel under
wear, as the atmosphere warms up
with the punshine, and the extra
warmth from heavy clothing would
render the child uncomfortable. There
should be old garments, however, laid
away from last winter's wear, which
are thin, and, in most cases, these can
be used;, but if not, there should be
some light additional over garment
for the early hours one that can be
laid aside when the morning chill i3
off, or thrown on as the evening ad
vances. At this season of the year, when
coughs, colds and catarrhs are readily
contracted, preventives are important,
as. even slight attacks of these pre
pare the way for more serious trou
bles, by weakening the system, and
rendering it liable to attacks of dis
ease. One of the best materials for chil
dren's night gowns is. canton flannel
flannelettes, in the various weight.
Some of the colored ones are very
pretty, but white, unbleached, is the
most serviceable, as it Is warm. soft,
easily laundered, can be boiled and
scalded to suit any case, and they last
several seasons. White, unbleached
canton flannel will shrink when
washed, and should be made quita
large when new. In the case of young
children, or those afflicted with disa
greeable urinary ailments, the canton
flannel is much better than wool flan
nels. If one wishes to trim them,
there are plenty of pretty, coarse cot
ton laces that can be very effectively
used.'
