P. D. EAGER, Business luanager,
Omaha is to have voting machines
and that yard wide and ten foot long
blanket ballot will be known no more
down there. .
Joe Chamberlain ruined the liberal
party and Gladstone, and now he is try
ing to ruin the conservative party and
Belfour. He came very near ruining
England with his Boer war.
There are $91,000,000 invested in the
New York stock exchange seats, on
which not one single cent in taxes is
paid. Have you any remarks to make
on the subject?
The New York World says: "The
democratic party is and will be hope
lessly divided against itself." That is
just what The Independent has been
saying for the last three or four years.
After Mr. Ager gave Ernst a dress
ing down, not another 'representative
or senator uttered a single peep. The
great lobbyist could lead them around
with a baby blue ribbon. , ,
The "prudential committee" of the
Congregational board of foreign mis
- sions has transformed itself into a so-
. ciety for the reception of stolen goods,
all for the glory of God and the salva
tion of the heathen. '
Teddy was going to build a canal
at Panama. Congress gave him all the
money he wanted and an up-to-date lot
of canal commissioners." He has just
kicked all the commissioners out and
that is as far as he has got in build
ing a canal.
Just think of the "high" financing"
that enables young Mr. -Hyde, owning
- only $51,000 of the stock of the Equit-
able Life Insurance company, to con
t'rol over $400,000,000 of the policy'
holders' money. That is "frenzied fi
nance," "high finance," "thieving fi
.-nance" or something. of that sort, sure.
,. London increases at the rate of just
about 1,000 houses a month." -The 'cori-
sequence is that a new system of
' drainage had to be adopted. - Three
miles of main sewers will be built. It
; will take five years "to do the work and
" it will cost $35,000,000. 1 When will
the limit of population of great cities
be reached?
If the Congregational church had
done its, duty, Rockefeller; would never
' have offered it any money. The sfact
that Rockefeller gave it money damns
the organization in; the opinion of
millions. Would Rockefeller have do
.nated money to a church that had for
twenty-five years deribimced his rob
beries? That is what the Congrega
tional, and all other churches-' ought to
; have":? done.? a ; L Kkj . :f
Under One Banner
The people's party will live In his
tory" as long as men have Interest in
political history, even if it never wins
another political victory, and it will
live for this reason. When the progress
of invention and science was produc
ing new economic conditions every
where, when the old ways and the old
statesmanship was failing to meet the
wants of mankind, when men saw be
fore them only anarchy or absolutism,
when degeneration, moral and physi
cal, was Impending and no man point
ed to a way of escape, populism point
ed out a way, and the only way. Lit
tle by little, the principles of populism
were adopted. First one city and then
another, one state and. then another,
some in the east and some" in the west,
adopted some of the principles of pop
ulism. They did it because there was
no other way of salvation. The cities
adopted municipal ownership of city
utilities and the states put into prac
tice the initiative and referendumDay
by day the work goes on. The advo
cacy of the government ownership of
railroads spreads with astonishing
rapidity. The land question will press
as hard for solution in a few years as
the public ownership of cijty utilities
does now, and the money question will
some of these days spring into promi
nence and press upon , the public wel
fare with such overwhelming presist-
ency, that it will have to be settled.
In that day the populist monetary prin
ciples will have to be adopted. Let the
gold mines fall off in production to
any great amount for, a year or, two
and the money question will be on us
again. ' '"'''i'. " . .f(
In the next few years the whole civ
ilized world will have to adopt popu
list principles. There is no other way.
While the populists have certainly
given to the world a theory, of govern
ment and the only , , theory that, is
adopted to modern . conditions, they
have not evolved any , politician capa
ble of marshaling the voters under
its banner, but such a man may appear
at any time. Without any doubt
ninety-nine men out of every hundred
in the United States is a populist. In
fact, all men are except those who ac
cumulate wealth by pirating upon. the
inhabitants of the nation.: ; Ask any
man if he does not want a money that
every dollar is as good as every other
dollar, and hte will say yes. Ask him
if he does not believe that land is the
heritage of all the people and. that , it
should not be monopolized for the ben
efit of the few and he will say , yes.
Ask him if he don't think that the
alien ownership of land should be pro
hibited and he will say , yes. , Ask him
if he does not believe in the public
ownership of everything where compe
tition is impossible and he will say
yes. When and where the master lead
er will appear, who will gather under
one banner this overwhelming major
ity of the people and get them to vote
one ticket, we do not know. It is al
together probable that he will, appear.
In every great crisis of i man in mod
ern times at the critical moment the
leader did appear, and The Indepen
dent believes within the next , three
years such a man will jloom up, and
be recognized by all who love good
government. He may bo some man
hitherto prominent or some one who
has been a silent student of the affairs
of men. . . !
But whether such a man appears or
not within the populist ranks, one
thing is certain. The world is going to
adopt populist principles, and the men
who gave populism to the world will be
the heroes of the future, just, as the
men are still heroes who helped to es
tablish Individual liberty in the world
and overthrew the doctrine, of Ihe di
vine right of kings. . , ' .

place for any man or woman to advo
cate anything that the writer thought
would help humanity or tend to make
the world happier and better, but the
editor has received a letter from a
writer in New York taking so low a
view of ! the working classes and ex
pressing, such contempt for those who
are engaged, as he says, in "menial"
services, that it will not be published.
These 'men and women who serve in
the restaurants and hotels are just as
honest, just as upright as a class, as
the merchant and ' employer. The, edi
tor of The Independent has traveled
all over this continent and for a year
in Europe and he has never yet met
with a discourtesy from one of these
people. . Whether in Lincoln, in. Lon
don' or Seattle, he has never found
servants who were not obliging and
courteous and he has never been given
to bestowing tips either, Only on one
occasion in all these years of travel
has a servant ever been insulting, and
that was a negro porter on' a Pullman
car "out on' the' Pacific coast. That
porter' suddenly concluded that ; the
next car Would be' a more comfortable
place for him : and got himself there
with the speed of; lightning. : ; . "
. The obsequiousness of servants in
England and hi New York is of course
annoying to ary gentleman. In most
cases that is pijt on as part of the busi
ness and is not a trait of their charac
ter. That is the fault of the snobs and
new rich in New York and of the aris
tocracy in London, and not of the ser
vants. A man may be a servant, but
"a man's a 'man for that and a'
that." 1
