ridiculed for advocating government
loans to the people at an annual inter

cures practically the same thing for

sufficient security to the government.
By this the bank receives from the
government the current interest on the
government bonds deposited with the
treasurer, and in addition it can re-

may deem fit to enforce by loaning to
the people the money belonging to the
people, and in return for this valua

people the sum of 1 per cent per an

News of the Week
The strike of the street car employes
in New Orleans has caused so much
inconvenience and loss to the public
that some of the stock and bondhold
ers have applied to the court for a re
ceiver on the ground that their prop
erty was being ruined and dissipated
by bad management. The case wil
come to trial this week. Why could
not some stockholder in the anthracite
coal companies make such an applica
tion. It would not be much trouble
to get a share or two of stock. There
could then be none of the objections
which have been made to the Boston
proceedings.
The anthracite coal strike reached
such an accute state last 'week that
President Roosevelt .sent for 'the coa
barons and Mitchell and asked them to
submit some sort of plan whereby the
two parties could get together, then ad
journed the conference from 10 a. m
to 3 p. m. to let them have a chance
to present such plan. The barons
came back haughty and imperious.
Mitchell proposed that the difficulty
should be left to the arbitration of
the president or to a committee that
he might appoint and pledged the
miners to abide by the decision. The
conference was a failure from every
point of view.
In speaking of the character of the
men who represented the two parties,
Walter Wellman, in his correspon
cence, says: "President Roosevelt and
the members of his cabinet make no
secret of their disgust with the meth
ods and the manners of the railway
presidents at yesterday's conferences
'Most of them were abusive to Presi
dent Mitchell and insolent to President
Roosevelt,' says one who was present
President Roosevelt and all the mem
bers of his cabinet were today praising
John Mitchell, who, in their opinion,
'towered like a giant intellectually
and in character over the railway man
agers.' They unanimously declare
that the railway presidents should
have accepted the offer which Mitchell
made, and they are of the opinion that
by thus proposing a practical means
or ending the strike Mitchell has won
the confidence and support of the
country. Indignation toward the nar
row and arrogant and ill-mannered
railway managers is well-nigh univer
sal in Washington, from the very high
est government official down to the
humblest citizen."
Bishop Fallows of Chicago recently
visited the anthracite mining regions
on a tour of investigation in the in
terest of the general public. On the
question of wages the bishop says
xtie miners' figures as to wages are
far different from President Baer's
Baer has insisted that the average
day's wages for the 26,270 men work
ing in the Heading mines is $1.89. This
would make the average annual wage
$2?6.20, but Mr. Mitchell can prove
that it is really only $248. Out of this
must be taken a total, in round num
bers, of $100 for rents, powder, oil,
and the annual fee to the company's
doctor, leaving but $148 for food,
clothing and fuel."
From the arrogance of the coal ba
rons we suspect that the next thing
that they will claim is that they
planted the ferns previous to the car
boniferous period which they after
ward turned into coaj by their mighty
P.enius and foresight. That would not
be a particle more ridiculous than the
Claim that they have already made
that God put them in charge of the
property. .

those to whom God in his providence
has confided the property interests
of this country is as follows: At first
th miners of anthracite coal were
self-respect'nfi and independent Am
erican citiztns and Cornishmen from
Great Britain. They demanded toler
able conditions. They were replaced
by Irish immigrants who strove for a
condition ol self-respecting American
mannood. 'i hey were superseded by
Slavs and Poles, whose ignorance of
the language kept them longer on the
low plane, and when they strove for a
decent standard of living the employ
ers sought tor negroes. That bit of
hibtory leads The Independent to be
liev? tbat it was the devil who placed
Baer tnd hi-; partners in the control
of the coal fields and that God had
nothing at all to do with it.
D. M. Ferry, the garden seed mil
lionaire who was the contestant
against General Alger for United States
senator, has withdrawn altogether,
The compensation was a first mortgage
on the governorship of Michigan two
years hence. The Michigan republi
cans must have millionaires for can
didates for both state and federal
offices. Nothing else will satisfy them.
"The Bryan democrats in Michigan
have bolted the ticket and James W.
Helme will be their candidate. There
will be a big silent bolt in Massachu
setts. Thousands of democrats will
not go to the polls at all. In Indiana
the democratic party has become so
insignificant that the republican dail
ies don't mention it any more. The
reorganizes, where they have had
their way, have succeeded in giving
democracy some of the hardest knocks
it ever received.
Secretary Hay sent a diplomatic note
to the European powers protesting
against the cruel treatment of the Jews
in Roumania. The condition of the
Jews in that country is not so bad as
that of the anthracite coal miners. It
has therefore been suggested that Hay
send a note to the coal barons based
upon the same principles of his note
to the powers, namely, that such treat
ment, debases the population and tends
to increase the number of paupers.
The tariff on coal was levied to
protect American labor and take it out
of competition with the pauper labor
of Europe. The manner in which the
tariff protects labor can now be un
derstood without much thinking on
the part of the voter. The tariff graft
ers always' base their arguments on
the claim that it is to protect the
wage-workers. They themselves are
simply philanthropists. Most any man
can now see how it protects labor.
All the great dailies are crowded
with letters from the common people
regarding the present industrial con
aitions. Many of these letters show
in what complete ignorance the peo
ple have been kept by the plutocratic
press. Much of the writing of the
editors show that they are bigger
economic fools than their correspon
dents. Competition and trusts are the
burden of all the discussion. There
is no doubt that the best government
that could be devised would be an ab
solute monarchy, providing an abso
lutely wise and good monarch was al
ways in charge. Neither can it be
doubted that the best method of pro
duction and distribution of wealth
would be under a few trusts, provided
always that the trust managers were
absolutely good and philanthropic.
While our forefathers dispaired of
ever getting that kind of a monarch,
many of their degenerate sons think
that they can get that kind of trust
magnates. The Independent does not
believe that the world can ever fur
nish that kind of a monarch or any
man in whose hands it would be safe
to place a monopoly of any industry.
A few hours after the announce
ment of the nresident's failure to set
tle the coal strike, soft coal was sell
ing in the tenement districts of New
York for $3.50 a ton. An announce
ment was made that a millionaire,
whose name was not given, naa sent
telegraphic order to Europe ror ntty
.ousand tons of the best household
roal which he would sell to the poor
at the old rates regardless of what it
cost him. The Independent has some
doubts about that.
Both of tne Chicago gas companies
announce that they will be compelled
to shut down, one within ten days and
the other in 28 days, unless new
sources of supply for hard coal or
coke are found, and the city will be
in darkness. The plants are con
structed to use this sort of fuel and
could not be altered to use soft coal

The president held another cabinet
council on the coal strike on Sunday.
It resulted in nothing. Arbitration by
districts win be suggested to the ba
rons. If they do not accept, then an
other investigation by a new commit
tee. The real result is a further con
firmation of the belief of the cabinet
that the trust is. bigger than the gov
ernment. That is the substance of the
special correspondence to the Chicago
Record-Herald. But the Tribune's
special correspondent has another
story to tell. He says: "No further
appeal is to be made to the coal oper
ators. Their flat and final refusal to
deal with President Mitchell on any
terms is accepted as closing the in
cident so far as they are concerned."
This writer also says that Roosevelt
will appeal to Mitchell to set the min
ers to work at the old rates on the
promise tat congress will investigate
their case and see to it that justice
is done. That isHhe sort of news ser
vice the people must accept from the
plutocratic dailies.

-The governor of Pennsylvania has
ordered the whole of the state militia
to turn out and go to the anthracite
coal fields. All the dispatches say that
there is no disorder there and no more
crime than is usual among the popula
tion. Mitchell in reply to this mov
says chat if they put a soldier by .the
side of every miner they can't make
him work until this dispute is settled
At special meetings called by the un
ions after the order to send all of the
state militia, it was decided by unani
mous vote to continue the strike.
When Dietrich was the republican
candidate for governor and went

word to say.
The plutocratic papers keep saying
tbat there is on deposit in the banks
$108 for each man, woman and child
in the whole country. Suppose you
"flgger" a little before you believe
that statement There are 76,000,000
people and $108 each would amount to
$8,268,000,000. But the reports of the
secretary of the treasury state that
there are only about two billion dol
lars of money all told, in the whole
country. There is something wrong
with these plutocratic papers sure as

According to the republican state
board of equalization the value of rail
road property in Omaha has fallen
since 1897 from $419,941 to $205,855 in
1902. Meantime the railroads have
built two magnificent depots costing
half a million each, freight houses,
shops, additional tracks and stolen no

The Wall street bankers are finding
that the frost that made so much soft
corn in Nebraska and Iowa is likely to
result in still larger demands upon the
New York bankers to send back the
money mostly reserves of western
bankers and deposits made by them
by means of which the stock market
has been saved from collapse. Farm
ers cannot sell this corn for shipment
and must feed it to cattle. The west
ern banks will find that they can find
use for all their funds at higher rates
of interest than they can get in Wall
street Farmers will have to borrow
money to buy feeders, so that is the
only way they can get rid of their soft
corn.
The wav that matter is made up for
the great dailies appears very plainly
in FranK Carpenter s syndicate letters.

concerned the sale of American goods
Kiirnne. He enumerates tne ainer-

oV.it the nrice excent in

one or two instances where he remarks
that the ar.-cie was sold at the same
nrtrea as In America. The inference
from this is that all the other articles
were not sold at that price, it is alto
gether likely that Carpenter is not to
blame. If he had eiven the price at
which American articles are sold in
every instance, his- letter would never
have seen the light of day. Not a

If the western bankers had got
themselves in such a fix as Wall street
has and had asked the secretary of
the treasury to help them out they
would have received a freezing reply
and the whole eastern press would
have jumped onto them with both feet.
Yet these mullet head western bann
ers have for years been the mainstay
of Wall street politics. Some of them

Several hundred of the militia or

The president so far in all his gab
has said nothing about the coal strike,
ship subsidy, greenbacks or redemp
tion of the silver dollars. None of the
republican candidates or newspapers
dare to take sides on any of the stir
ring questions of the day. It was not
so with Lincoln. Everybody knew
where he stood on every open ques
tion. Everybody knows on which side
of all these, questions Mr. Bryan
stands. H. W. HARDY.
Going and Coming
Editor Indenendent: You should
put in The Independent a question and
answer about what benent nas tne
eastern capitalist in having the repub-
ican administration adopt tne pop
ulist principle of increasing the
money volume at present.
My answer is that the eastern money
oaner has lots of lands and real es
tate in the west that he wants to sell.
By increasing the money volume the
land will rise double in value: times
will be good and people will buy and
he able to nav considerable down. But
the capitalists won't let this go very
ong before they turi tne key tne otn
;r way and make a panic by cutting
down the money volume. Times will
get hard and the buyers be unable to
pay up. The land sellers will get the
and back by foreclosure and sheriff
sales.
I have found very few populists that
understand this: but after I have ex
plained it they see it

iFarm lands and city lots are not
the only kinds of property subject to
the manipulation Mr. Hallberg men

roads are making enormous earnings.
They are using considerable in .mait-
ne Dermanent Improvements ootn in
road-bed and rolling stock. They are
paying good dividends and their stocics
and bond3 are at par or above. They
are injecting plenty of water Into their
nanitfllizatlon and selling the increased
stock to suckers who imagine they are
getting a good investment, x ne trusis
playing the same game. ry auu
whan tho rrash comes, the rail
roads and trusts will generally, go into
v,a onris nf receivers and the federal
court will do a general transportation
and manufacturing business. Of course,
present stocks will De wortniess,
substantially so. The suckers will

organize new companies and buy up
the properties at the receivers' sales at
times nrices . and then the whole

cycle will commence over again. Ed.
