THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT
collecting facts and' 'figures; and Jf
the congress desires additional con
sideration to that -which will be giren
th) subject by its - own committees,
then a commission of business experts
can be appointed whose duty it should
be to recommend action by the con
gress after a deliberate and scientific
examination of the" various schedules
as they are affected by, the changed
and changing conditions The unhur
ried and unbiased report of this com
mission would show what changes
should be made In the various sche
dules, and how far these changes could
go without also changing the great
prosperity which this country is now
enjoying, or upsetting its fixed econ
omic policy.
The cases in which the tariff can
produce a monopoly are so few as to
constitute an inconsiderable factor in
the question; but of course if in any
case It be found that a given rate of
duty does promote a monopoly which
works ill, no protectionist would ob
ject to such reduction of the duty as
would equalize competition.
In my judgment, the tariff on an
thracite coal should be removed, and
anthracite put actually, where It now
Is nominally, on the free list. This
would have no effect at all save in
crisis; but in crises it might be of
service to the people.
NO FINANCIAL RECONSTRUCTION.
Interest rates are a potent factor in
business activity, and in order that
these rates may be equalized to meet
the varying needs of the seasons and
of widely separated communities, and
to prevent the recurrence of financial
stringencies which injuriously affect
legitimate business, it is necessary
that there should be an element of
elasticity in our monetary system.
Banks are the natural servants of com
merce, and upon them should be
placed, as far as practicable, the bur
den of furnishing and maintaining a
circulation adequate to supply the
needs of our diversified industries and
of our domestic and foreign commerce;
and the issue of this should be so
regulated that a sufficient supply
should be always available for the
business Interests of the country.
It would be both unwise and unnec
essary at this time to attempt to re
construct our financial system, which
has been the growth of a century; but
some additional legislation is, I think,
desirable. The mere outline of any
- plan - sufficiently comprehensive to
meet these requirements would trans
gress the appropriate limits . of this
communication. It is suggested, how-
ever, that all future legislation on the
subject should be with the view of en
couraging the use of such instrumen
talities as will automatically supply
every legitimate demand of productive
industries and of commerce, not only
in the amount, but the character of
circulation; and of making all kinds of
money interchangeable, and, at the
will of the holder, convertible into
I Will Cure You of
hcumatism
Else No Money is Wanted.
After 2,000 experiments, I have
learned how to cure Rheumatism. Not
to turn bony joints into flesh again;
that is impossible. But I can cure the
disease always, at any stage, and for
ever. I ask for o money. Simply write
me a postal and I will send you an or
der on your nearest aruggist for six
bottles Dr. Shoop's Kheumatic Cure,
for every druggist keeps it Use it
for a month and, if it succeeds, the
cost is only $5.50. If it fails, I will
pay the druggist myself.
I have no sam; es, because any med
icine that can affec Rheumatism
quickly must be drugged to the verge
of danger. I use no such drugs, and
it is folly to take them. You must
get the disease out of the blood.
My remedy does that, even in the
most difficult obstinate cases. No
matter how impossible this seems to
you, I know it and take the risk. 1
have cured tens of thousands of cases
in this way, and my records show that
39 out of 40 who get six bottles pay
gladly. I have learned that people in
general are honest with a physician
who cures them. That is all I ask.
If I fail I don't expect a penny from
. , you.
Simply write me a postal card or a
letter. I will send you my book about
Rheumatism, and an order for the
medicine. Take it for a month, as it
won't harm you anyway. If it fails,
it is free, and I lave t. ? dri?ion
with you. Address Dr. Shoop, Box 940,

Mild cases, not chronic, are often
cured by one or two bottles. At all

FAIR , TREATMENT FOR LABOR.
- How. to secure fair treatment alike
for labor and for capital, how to hold
in check the unscrupulous ; . man,
whether employer or employe, without
weakening individual initiative, with
out hampering and cramping the in
dustrial development of the country,
is a problem fraught with great dif
ficulties and one which it is of the
highest importance to solve on lines
of sanity and far-sighted common
sense as well as of devotion to the
right. This is an era of federation
and combination. Exactly as business
men find they must oft'Mi work through
corporations, and as it is a constant
tendency of these corporations to grow
larger, so it is often necessary for la
boring men to work in federations,
and tese have become important fac
tors of modern industrial life.
Both kinds of federation, capital
istic and labor, can do much good, and
as a necessary corollary they can both
do evil.' Opposition to each kind of
organization should take the form of
opposition to whatever is bad in the
onduct of any given corporation or
union not of attacks upon corpora
tion as such nor upon unions as such;
for some of the most far-reaching
beneficent work for our people has
bee naccomplished through both cor
porations and unions. Each must re
frain from arbitrary or tyrannous in
terference with the rights of others.
Organized capital and organized la
bor alike should remember that in
the long run the interest of each must
be brought into harmony with the in
terest of the general public; and the
conduct of each must conform to the
fundamental rules of obedience to the
law, of individual freedom, and of
justice and fair dealing toward all.
Each should remember that in addition
to power it must strive after the real
ization of healthy, lofty, and generous
ideals.
Every employer, every wage-worker,
must be guaranteed his liberty and his
right to do as he likes with his prop
erty or his labor so long as he does
not infringe upon the rights of others.
It is of the highest importance that
employer and employe alike should en
deavor to appreciate each the view
point of the other and the 1 sure dis
aster that will ( jme upon both "in the
long run if either grows to take as
habitual an attitude of sour hostility
and distrust toward the other.
Few people deserve better of the
country than those representatives
both of capital and labor and there
are many such who work continually
to bring about a good understanding
of this kind, based upon wisdom and
upon broad and kindly sympathy be
tween emplovers and employed. Above
all, we need to remember that any
kind of class animosity in the politi
cal world is, if possible, even more
wicked, even more destructive to na
tion' welfare, than sectional, race or
religious animosity. We can get good
government only upon condition that
we keep true to the principles upon
which this nation was founded, and
judge each man not as a )art of a
class, but upon his individual merits.
All that we have a right to ask of
any man, rich or poor, whatever his
creed, his occupation, his birthplace,
or his residence, is that he shall act
well and" honorably by his neighbor
and by his country. We are neither
for the rich man as such nor for the
poor man as such; we are for the up
right mn, rich or poor. So far as the
constitutional powers of the national
government touch these matters of
general and vital moment to the na
tion, they should be exercised in con
formity with the principles above set
fortfi.
The remainder of the message deals
with matters of lesser importance. The
president recommends the organization
of a department of commerce. Urges
a reciprocity treaty with Cuba.
Touches upon the isthmian canal
question. Gives the history of the
trans-Pacific cable construction. Eul

need of more officers in the navy. Con

THE INJUNCTION MILLS
They Turn Out Some Startling; Grihts-The
Anarchy Tlint tha Tat Colorado
on Iw Ukly to Trniluro
The position taken by the populists
and Bryan democrats in regard to
government by injunction shows the
statesmanship of the reform move
ment more clearly every day. The
love of unlimited power, which is the
very essence of this injunction busi
ness, always increases in those who
employ it. Let the principle become
firmly fixed that judges can exercise
this power according to their own
wills and they will become unbearable
tyrants. The judges are constantly
extending the injunction1 into new
fields not heretofore invaded. The
last is In Colorado where a district
judge attempts to issue mandatory or
ders to the governor of the state, and
according to practice in Injunction
cases, if the governor refuses to obey
the orders of this little district judge,,
he can be arrested, tried without a
jury and imprisoned as long as the
litHe' judge sees fit The Denver News
comments upon this as follows:
"The next thing some district judge
will do will be to enjoin the supreme
court from deciding some case, or the
legislature from enacting some law or
electing a senator. The absurdity of
the injunction issued to restrain gov
ernor Orman from proclaiming the
adoption of the Rush bill is manifest
when it is considered that as a ..last
resort Governor Orman would be 're
quired to call out the national guard
to overcome his resistance to imprison
ment, should the district court order
that he be confined for contempt of
court.
"The reason the order or mandate of
a court is almost uniformly treated
with respect is that the entire civil
and military powers of a state are be
hind the court, demanding its enforce
ment. Take the case of punishment for
contempt The writ for the arrest and
imprisonment of the offender is deliv
ered to the sheriff, and he proceeds to
arrest the designated person. Should
he resist and be aided by numbers
sufficient to overcome the sheriff's
forces it may be the posse comitatus
the sheriff makes the proper repre
sentation to the governor, who orders
out sufficient of the state guards to
overcome resistance and arrest the
offender. Should an order to arrest
Governor Orman be- issued and the
governor resisted, and he should be
backed by sufficient of the citizens to
withstand the sheriff's forces, there the
court would be compelled to stop for
want of a governor to whom he could
appeal for state troops. On the con
trary, the governor might order out
the state troops to defeat the efforts
of the sheriff to imprison him.
"In cases against other than a gov
ernor, should the state troops prove
unequal to the task, the governor
might call for national troops, and it
would be the duty of the federal au
thorities to heed the demand.
"In the case acted upon by Judge
Palmer a constitutional amendment
has been submitted to the people, and
unofficially we know that it has been
adopted by a great majority.' The act
of the legislature submitting the
amendment requires that the governor
shall, after the official canvass of the
vote, announce or proclaim the result
This duty is imposed upon him by an
act of the legislature, and is admin
istrative and sovernmental in its na
ture. The people are entitled to know
the result of the vote; further steps
in government are dependent upon the
formal announcement of it. For a
court to enjoin the making of that
announcement is as unheard of and as
impossible as it would be to pn.ioin
the supreme court from rendering:
ome decision that, the district court
might hold to deprive a citizen of
some constitutional right.
"There would have been greater
propriety in attempting to enjoin the
governor from approving the act un
der which the amendment was sub
mitted at the late election than to
enjoin the proclamation of the result
of the vote. There would have been
yet greater propriety in enjoining the
secretary of state from publishing no
tice of the election at which the
amendment was to be voted upon than
to enjoin the proclamation of the re
sult of the vote. To have attempted
either would be recognized as absurd
vet the still more absurd thing has
been attempted in the present in
stance. "The state government is divided in
to thre branches the legislative, the
executive and the judicial. The gov
ernor is the head of the executive de
partment, and in any matters govern
mental or political he is responsible
cnlv to the legislature in impeach
ment proceedings.
"Were it otherwise all powers would
be vested in the judicial department
alone both the legislative and exe
cutive branches would be the play
things of the courts. The tendency of
the court is to govern more and more
by injunction a tendency which wi'l
be arrested, at least when it plainly
interferes with the governor - in the
performance of a duty imposed by
law."

For Singers and Speakers
The New Remedy Per Catarrh is Very
ValMble
FOR SINGER SAND SPEAKERS....
A Grand Rapids gentleman who
represents a prominent manufactur
ing concern and travels through cen
tral and southern Michigan, relates
the following regarding the new ca
tarrh cure, he says: '
"After suffering from catarrh of the
head, throat and stomach for several
years, I heard of Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets quite accidently and like every
thing else f immediately bought a
package and was decidedly surprised
at the immediate relief it afforded me
and still more to find a complete cure
after several weeks' use.
"I have a little son who sings in a
boy's choir in one of our prominent
churches, and he is greatly troubled
with hoarseness and throat weakness,
and on my return home from a trip
I gave him a few of the tablets one
Sunday morning when he had com
plained of hoarseness. He was de
lighted with their effect, removing all
huskiness in a few minutes and mak
ing the voice clear and strong.
As the tablets are very pleasant to
the taste, I had no difficulty in per
suading him to use them regularly.
"Our family physician told us they
were an antiseptic preparation of un
doubted merit and that he himself had
no hesitation in using and recom
mending Stuart's Catarrh Tablets for
any form of catarrh.
"I have since met many public
speakers and professional singers who
used them constantly. A prominent
Detroit lawyer told me that Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets kept his throat in
fine shape during the most trying wea
ther, ai.d that he had long since dis
carded the use of cheap lozenges and
troches on the advice of his physician
that they contained so much tolu.
potash and opium as to render their
use a danger to health."
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large
pleasant tasting lozenges composed of
catarrhal antiseptics, like Red Gum,
Blood Root, etc., and sold by drug
gists everywhere at 50 cents for full
treatment.
They act upon the blood and mucous
membrane and their composition and
remarkable success has won the ap
proval of physicians, as well as thou
sands of sufferers from nasal catarrh,
throat troubles and catarrh of the
stomach.

The Cornstalk Disease
The attention of our readers is
called to the announcement of the
National Cornstalk Remedy Co. in this
paper. The so-called Cornstalk Dis
ease is a real and dangerous disease.
Its fatality to stock makes it greatly
to be feared and a real cure greatly to
be desired. The announcement of the
National Cornstalk Remedy Co. is so
plausible and fair that it is worthy of
careful investigation. The proprietors
are practical farmers and have a mass
of evidence to support their claims.
We hope our readers will write them
for full particulars. Their address is
