Editor Independent: In the nam1? Of common sense what must the peo ple's party do when our leading reform papers declare that we cannot have scientific money without the aid of bonds. Is it not setting aside religion and tolerating sin and selfishness in its most dreadful form. Is not our na tion already drunk with imperialism; are we not paying for the royal band wagon, and for all the music the war dogs and filibustering parties are a mind to give us? Is not our republic hanging in the balance with religion on one side and with bondholders and filibustering parties on the other side? Just as long as the privilege to issue bonds, this dreadful wicked crime against civilization, is tolerated by the people no true Christian can ever hope to have a reform, the bond system can never be made to harmonize with a republic, and must be eradicated be fore we can expect God Almighty to bless us. We are intelligent beings and God is going to hold us responsible for what we do. As an intelligent and relisious people God is going to re quire of us to cast our ballots upon the side of religion, and he will protect s. and if we are not willing to do it, we must surrender to the bondholder and our republic must go down to wreck and ruin just as all other pow rfnl nations have cone. The way out: By a direct vote of all the people against the privilege to issue bonds and for government nanpr monev made a full legal tender without the aid of bonds or the use of metal monev. We can have a sate and sound financial policy that will protect u: without the aid of a standing army from all the ravages of other nations. We can have civilization and peace; we can be out of debt and have na lonal independence, prosperity and happiness and all the blessings tnat God has in store for us. NATHAN HIATT. Fortville, Ind. Worse Than Republicans. Editor Independent: I see that you will send The Independent free for three weeks to anyone that wants to know alxrnt the people's party. I want to know more about it, but I do know that if all the people that are op posed to this rotten administration would drop the old, rotten democratic party and vote with the people's par-, ty we might get some reform. I have lived long enough to know what the derflocrats .did in the fifteen states. These organizers are of the same stamp and the people will never trust them. They are just an auxiliary to the republicans and meaner because they are hypocrites employed to split the democratic party in the interest of the republican administration and with their corruption fund they will be very apt to do it I hope you will help Bryan to bring together the folks that are opposed to this rotten administra tion. J. F. SHEPHERD. Iowa City, la. TH6 RAILROAD OCTOPUS. How He Settled The Strike. Tho' I've hunted down the grizzly And the mountain lion, too, Tho' I've heard without a tremor whoops From Comanche and from Sioux, When I tackled J. P. Morgan, I'd a shaking in my knees I would rather see another have That hot job, if you please. But I wrote to Pierpont Morgan And I said, "Sir, if you like You can be real good to Uncle " Sam and end this awful strike." What his answer was exactly But I think he said, "Send somebody To see me on my yacht" So I got up in a hurry And I said to Mister Root, "Pack up your duds right sudden And to J. P. Morgan scoot Tell him that election day And winter both are near And if the strike ain't settled We're going to lose, I fear." - Oh! Joy! His gracious message Quickly came to' cheer my heart. Said he. "I'm feeling pretty good; For Washington I start." So let's all hurrah for Morgan, He's the kind of man we need, And when we start to down the trusts We'll put him in the lead. MOSES O.

' The advance sheets of "Poor's Man ual" for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1902, present a statement of the growth of railroads in this country which is almost incredible. The mile age of roads increased by 4,453 miles, the total now being 198,000, of which about 195,000 miles are in operation. The gross earnings were $1,612,448,826 and operating expenses $1,092,154,099. The net earnings, including miscel laneous receipts, were over $588,000, 000. The roads have 39,729 engines, 27,144 passenger cars, 8,677 mail and express cars, and 1,409,472 freight cars, as compared with 21,889 engines, 14, 934 passenger cars, and 730,435 freight cars in 1892, and yet the locomotive works are behind on orders and car works cannot turn out freight cars fast enough to take care of business. The total amount of stock, bonds, and un funded debt is $12,326,491,526. HALF RATES (Plus $2.00) : ONE WAY OR ROUND TRIP: Controlling The Trusts. Senator Hoar does not think that there is any need of a constitutional amendment to give congress power to control the trusts as it has already all the power necessary. Among the powers already possessed he enumer ates the following: "Congress has the right to prohibit all transactions of interstate or inter national commerce by corporations. "It has the right to impose on them any conditions that may be thought fit "It can compel them to keep ac counts. "It can submit them to government inspection. "It can prohibit the watering of stock. "Above all it can enact that unless all national regulations be complied with the exemption of personal liabil ity for their stockholders shall not exist "It can require every corporation, great or small, to do the bidding of congress at the peril of exposing its members to individual liability for all its debts and obligations and of being prohibited from doing interstate busi ness altogether." Besides that, the president can prosecute the trust managers under the criminal section of the Sherman act, but he won't.
