Ths Ken or the Nast Lditor Independent: In its com ments on "The Hen or the Egg," The Independent misses it in assuming them to be tha analogues in their re lationship to the human unit an-1 society. The egg and the incubator would seem a truer one. There is no necessity for knowing which was first, the hen or the egg, as both are the products of nature. If the hen be insisted upon as the necessary analogue then the nest would be the true analogue of society. If society was here before any liv ing human unit presented itself upon the scene, so were there nests before any present day hens or eggs put in their appearance; and for present pur poses these two are the same, both be ing the products of nature; while nests, incubators, and society are tho products of life artificial. Because nature operates in part through its vital form, we cannot merge these forms in nature witho it destroying them; and is not that the purpose of all merging? It will never do" to think of so doing for it gives the instinct of self-preservation tho lie direct; and society could not possi bly benefit itself by the destruction of all its units. Here is a cleavage pre senting itself with nature's own stamp upon it; let the rattlesnake speak for nature with its venomous fangs. This is the cleavage of the historical record of humanity. It's the broad cleavage of the prehistoric ages be tween the earlier races of Europe and western Asia; and those intruding stocks from the Fijii to the Sandwich islands. It was the cleavage in all ages between the cannibal and the anti-cannibal. . Our socialistic friends, and the su pernatural istic theologians, are inter ested in this matter and from motive?, of self-interest one would look for them to take a hand in such a discus -sign, for they are or they are not the friends of humanity. They must af firm or they must deny the fact ex pressed in the federal declaration that all men are born equally endowed with certain inalienable rights, and that by men we understand all hu man units, man, woman or the newly born babe. Deny that fact and what becomes of American political society? It leaves it a mass of wriggling humanity. Deny that fact and what becomes of concep tions of justice or equity? They are ten imposible. That mass of wrig gling humanity would have no volun tarily reasoned out mentally binding force to hold them together. Anarchy tould not be more truly defined then in the absence of such a voluntary force. The Asiatic has ever been with out such a force. Their bonds were always from without themselves. Th? robbers' physical superiority, or tho robbers' mental exterior force; fear of the supernatural. The chasm of this cleavage tho American people are confronting to day, in the Baers-Pierpont Morgans and all the corporations and commer cial system beneficiaries. A stand somewhere they must take before long Could there be a better preparation than such as comes of a discussing the primary or bottom facts and in trying to discover what they are? H. ELLINGSTON. Minneapolis, Minn. A Practical Benefit Mr. Thomas Stoner, Watson, Mo., sends The Independent the following problem: "A stockman bought 100 head of hogs and sheep. He paid for No. 1 hogs, $15.25 each; for No. 2 hogs, Vx2.75; for No. 3 hogs. $9.50; for No. 4 hogs, $7.25; for No. 5 hogs. $5.00 each; and for sheep, $2.50 per head. How many of each kind did he buy for $900?" Mr. Stoner would like a solution showing by what rule it was obtained. He thinks it would be beneficial for educational institutions to offer cash prizes for the solutions of such pro blems, believing the knowledge would be of practical benefit. The Indepen dent is not inclined to agree with this. The most practical knowledge of arith metic is first to know how to add a column of figures quickly and ac curately; second, to multiply quickly and accurately: third, to understand - subtraction and division, and fractions r and percentage. Who ever heard of a stockman going out to buy 100 head oC4l animals for even $900, paying all tb-3 'xi way from $2.50 up to $15.25 each for them' No one outside of imaginary; stockmen in up-to-date arithmetics. Harry E. Butler, Union, Knox Co., Me.: I like The Independent very much. Heard Mr. Bryan at Rockland July 25 last; it was the best speech I ever heard. Knox is the only demo cratic county In Maine and we are Bryan men, too, most of us. 1 t 0 fx J
