SEPTEMBER 8, 1904
THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT
PAG J 11.
The Associated Press now announces
lhatv its report of Hill's speech in
which Hill called Roosevelt a fraud,
was all fake, and that the reporter
who sent the account of the speech
was not present at the meeting and
made up one to suit himself. The As
sociated press has been doing exactly
that sort of work for the populist party
for the last ten years, but it never
made a correction. Perhaps the As
sociated Press has reformed, but it will
not do to trust much to that sup
position. Perhaps its announcement
of Hill's, withdrawal from politics was
also a fake, vvvyv '
The Wageworker, a paper published
in the interest of organized labor at
Lincoln, got out a very fine Labor day
edition printed m cuiurs. vi
pers published in the interest of or
ganized labor have a legitimate, field,
and are as much entitled to the sup
port of wagewcrkers as the Bank Ma
gazine isv to that of bankers.
All arrangements for speeches dur
ing the coming campaign by Mr. T.
H Tibbies, 'candidate- for vice -president
in the states of Nebraska, Kan
sas Colorado, North Dakota, South
Dakota and Minnesota must be made
with J. H. Edmisten, Lincoln, Neb. For
dates in states west of these, arrange
ments must be made through J. H. Cal-
derhead,s Butte, Mont,
erv
country there must be built up a party
that can overwhelm the tariff grafters,
the banks and accumulated capital.
We are laying a foundation for such
a party in these United States in this
present campaign. Stand by Tom
Watson. - .
Judge Dunne in a public speech in
Chicago charged Carter Harrison with
the foulest treachery to the people of
that city in regard to granting street
car franchises. Judge Dunne was the
one 5 man, more than any other, that
sepured Harrison's election. He now
publicly asks this traitor: "What was
the persuasion that maltes him now
recalcitrant to his past, faithless to the
trust imposed in him by a confiding
people, "ami reckless of his reputation
in the community ?" Where ever and
when ever the people have trusted
either the democrats or republicans
they ; have, been betrayed. Is it not
time that we were done with both of
them? v.r ; ;." ' ; ; . -:
Dr. 'Taylori of the Medicar World

publicans and democrats will act upon

including Watson and TihDies electors.
Hon J. H. Calderhead,. state auditor,
in a private letter to the editor of The
Independent, says: "Watson will poll
a large vote in Montana this year, and
it now looks as if we would have to

of the state as against both the demo
cratic and republican parties. We have
arranged for a good list of campaign

au's probable appearnce id appearance-
in New York as an aavueme ui ria.,
to offset the effect of the Cooper Union
meeting, says that Bryan's advocacy of
Parker - is not genuine and asks its
readers to take what Bryan may say
with an abundance : of grains of salt.
The-Id Bryan men in New York who
are now supporting Watson and Tib
bies will likely take a hint from that
and become more determined than
ever to vote as Bryan believes and
not as he taJJJ campaign.
I The "i plutocrats have at, last con
cluded that their claim to omnipotence
is a little too broad. : They now say
as long as the Parker democrats or the
republican party is: in power "the gold
standards irrevocable.". The assertion
of Roosevelt or Parker that it is ir
revocable for all the ages, to come,
thus assuming the power to utter a
decree like that when God , said, "let
there be light and there was lights is
pushing the "God an,d destiny theory
a' little too far for even the. acceptance
of a mullet head i;r
. " The people's party state convention
f Montana has been called to meet at
Butte City, Montana, on beptem.Der i.
date fixed for the evacuation, instead
of withdrawing her troops, the Rus
sian minister at Pekin demanded new
concessions which amounted to the
transfer of the entire territory of Man
churia from China to Russia. The
United States made a vigorous protest,
and Japan decided upon war. ,
Every man knows that if there were
tariff walls between the states, they
would be a great hindrance to trade
and that they would tend to reduce
the increase of wealth.. If that is so,
why dees it not follow that tariff walls
between Canada and the United States
have the same effect? The great mass
of the people of both nations would be
benefited if there was absolute - free
trade between the" countries. A spe
cial privileged few on both sides of
tug line, make fortunes by these tar
iff walli and the fortunes come from
the men who toil. Yet there are tens
of thousands of these toilers who will
vote to tax themselves for the bene
fit of the few and all on account of
their-ignorance of the ordinary natur
al laws of political economy. '
The high protectionists, and free
traders united their votes in the Aus
tralian parliament the other day and
labor Premier Watson had to resign
for want of a majority in parliament.
There will be hot times in Australia at
the next' election. The trade unionists
there are determined to have a ma-

-I believe in giving liberty to the
Filipinos as soon, as they are reason
ably prepared for it. I regard the; gold
standard as firmly and irrevocably
established; I believe in giving 'the
people some measure of relief from
the high tariff rates, but .. with a re
publican senate on my hands it is
doubtful whether I can accomplish
anything in this, direction. Alton U.
He might have added one more
statement for the comfort of demo
crats; for instance: "Ijregard the re

A New York Associated Press dis
patch says: "The unusual activity of
populists In this state is also causing
alarm at national headquarters. In
the early plans for the campaign the
Bryan or radical element of the party
was . ignored, and the managers now
find that thousands of voters of that
faction are ready to support Watson."
In answer to nn oM reader of The
Independent it may be said that one
reason for the sympathy in this coun
try with Japan grown out of the fact
that Russia absolutely violated the
terms of the agreement filtered into
by the powers at the !oc of the war
In China with the Boxers. liussla
nigned a treaty agri-eliis to withdraw
her troops from Manchuria In three In
Ktallmenta. Kadi utep of the rvac na
tion was to take place on a fixed date,
and although th ambassador at St.
Petersburg and th ItUHslan embassa
dor at Wfthlnj;ton rrrwateilly renewed
tho assurance that Huswla would fulfil
her cnKfirroctt, . hc notoriously vio
lated th treaty.. When the 1st of Or
lober, IM3, arrlvnl, whkh as th
sent anything that I believe in." But
I can't support Parker. That would
give the lie to everything that I have
said during the last eight years." The
republican says: . "L,don't want to help
elect Parker,. But the republican party
.will.not giye .meLpo.stal savings banks,
the-parcels post, the public ownership
of the telegraphs, telephones 'and city
utilities." Then they agree that neith
er will do : anything to help elect the
other's candidate, but both of them
will; vote the people's party ticket,
thus voting -for what they want and
"pair off" on the candidates of each.
Mr. Watson' said while here that
he .was surprised that so many persons
in different states were writing . for
help to him or the national committee.
That is turning things the other end
to. The people in the different states
must help the committee. In popu
list campaigning funds must come
from fhe people and not from the na
tional committee. The way to do in
everv state is to co right ahead nut
tickets in the field and do the work of
the campaign. Then for the encour
agement of the others, report to the
committee what has been done and let
them send it ouU That is all that caa
be expected of the present national
committee.
The whole south just at present is
chasing negroes, not for the purpose of
mobbing them, but to hJre them to
work In the cotton fields. The nouth
may howl about negro domination, but
when it comes down to the baxle facts,
the south would go Into permanent
poverty and lose all political and com
mercial standing If it v. re not for
the "nigpr."

of truth. When the Associated Press
disciplines soihe Of these chaps here in
Lincoln, the populists of the state will
btlieve that it really ifitends to ; re
form. The -editor of The Independent
had a little experience with fake As
sociated "Press dispatches just before
the state convention. A
After doing everything that was pos
sible to be done to prevent the an
nouncement of another deficit right in
the starting of the campaign, Secretary
Shaw was neverthless forced to do it.
The July deficit was $17,400,000 and
the August deficit $6,300,000. The In
dependent has been telling its readers
for two years about these coming-deficits.
By the time congress - meets
there will be another demand for bonds
to 'preserve the credit of the govern
ment." These fellows' notions about
"preserving the credit of the govern
ment" are somewhat ' peculiar, ;Their
idea of the way to do" it . is to , issue
more bonds and go further into "debt.
It is not strictly a correct principle
that taxes should be levied "according
to ability to pay." This is a tax upon
enterprise and thrift. , Nor should
taxes tee levied upon the people ac
cording to the "protection" that gov
ernment affords . the people in - the
possession of their property. Some
people are entirely unencumbered with
any property at all. If such reasoning
be true, that is, that government is
established to protect property, apd'it
should therefore charge property, own
ers for : that "protection," then it
would, follow that , the person With
no property at all would not be en
titled to governmental protection. The
correct principle is this: That igov
ernment is a compact for the protec
tion of life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness. In order to enjoy life,
liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness, government must secure I to
all their natural right to the : use
of the earth. In performing j this
service to the individual, government
confers upon him certain favors. It,
therefore, has a right to charge the in
dividual for this particular favor, just
in proportion to the value of the fa
vor conferred. This and no more It
can not do less and be just to all. - It
can not do more without being ty
rannical. Any other form of taxation
is a robbery.
The republican editors of this state
had better get together, and like the
democratic spellbinders used to do in
Indiana, all agree upon telling! the
same lie. They have all been telling
different lies about what Tibbies did
at the state convention. The worst
lie of all, however, was printed In the
Nuckolls County Herald, when it said
that the business management of this
paper compelled Tibbies to change his
position. Tibbies did not change his
position and the business management
has nothing to do with the editorial
policy of the Nebraska Independent
and never will have while Tibbies Is
the editor. The business manager
