Forty Years a Republican.

Editor Independent: l desire to in
form my old friend, Califf Lafferty of
Iowa, who is also subscriber to your
invaluable paper, why l left the repub-
lican party after voting with it for
nearly forty years. When voted with
that party it had many policies that
were good, now it has but few. Then
it advocated bimetallism and in 1896
pledged themselves to promote the in
terests of bimetallism and afterwards
repudiated their pledge. Now it is
welded to the gold standard; then it
boasted of having been the author of
the greenbacks, that paid our soldiers,
that bought the supplies, that put
down the greatest war of the world;
now it is their destroyer. Then it
claimed to- be a friend of the silver
dollar; now it is pledged to it's ex-
termination. Then it was a friend of
laborers and producers; now for the
classes and trusts. Then it's policies
we're directed by patriotism now by
dollars and cents. Then 1t had a voice
for struggling liberty now shot and
she'll Then it aided Christian mission
aries; now it shoots Christians and
bribes pagans. Then it was a power
for peace; now it is for force and
plunder. Then it's platforms extolled
the teachings of it's Lincolns, Garfelds,
and Blaines; now it boasts of its Fun
stOns, Hannas, and even Clevelands
financial policy. Then it passed anti
t-ust laws now it refuses to enforce
them. Then it condemned Cleyeland's
financial policy; now it praises and
adopts it, Then it was antislavery;
now it favors slavery in the Philip
pine archipelago. Then it favored the
masses: now it fosters the classes. Then
it proclaimed that labor was prior
to and superior to capital and should
always have the first consideration"
now it gives capital the first consider
alton. Because of all the changes, and
more, is the reason why I don't vote
with the republican party The re-
publican party left me; | did not leave
it. Am l right or am | wrong?

affectionate glance over his left shoul-
der as he urged his horses southwark.
When 4:40 o'clock came, after four
hours of painful plodding, Ravenna
was not in sight and the only hope was
that the train would be late. At just
o'clock the exhausted horses stag
gered up to the station platform. The
train was late. 1t would arrive in fif-
teen minutes, said the agent.
I Mr.. Bryan and General Barry, how
ever, were not there. When the train
arrived men ran to and fro with
torches for ten minutes testing the
wheels. Mr.. Edmisten and the World
Herald correspondent climbed abroad,
resolved to reach Broken Bow and
report Mr.. Bryan's determined, but
futile effort, to keep the date.
''All aboard" shouted the conductor.
Then General Barry and Mr.. Bryan
rushed out of the darkness and sprang
to the platform. AS they entered the
smoker they confronted their despon-
dent friends and a hearty laugh fol-
lowed.

were piloted by Albert Snyder, far
mer living near the road, who accom-.
panied them distance of ten miles,
and but for whose assistance they
would not have arrived at Ravenna
until too late. The general and Mr..
Bryan were covered with hay and
looked decidedly dishevelled. But the
battle had been won and the trip to
Broken Bow was a CHEEKY one.
The train arrived at Broken Bow
a few minutes before o'clock in the
morning. A sleep of four hours at the
hotel considerably refreshed Mr.. Bry-
an and he made a spirited and telling
speech to his Broken Bow audience.
The local committees at Broken Bow
and Ravenna had made excellent ar
rangements and in spite of the short
time in which the meetings had been
advertised they were attended by hum
dreds of people from the country dis
tricts. From Broken Bow back to Ra-
VIENNA the trip was made on a freight
train and the party arrived several
hours earlier than it was expected Mr..
Bryan had chance to meet and talk
with many old friends He finished
his wearing trip in good spirits and
voice. Late tonight he left for Lin

COAL BARONS EXEMPT.
Their Tax Rate Is Even Lower Than That
of the Railroads of Nebraska.

Everywhere and all over the United
States the rich are largely exempted
from taxation. We have had a big
fight in this state over the question Of
whether the Goulds, Harrimans and
Hills who own the railroads, shall pay
the same rate of taxation that other
citizens pay. But as tax shirkers the
railroads do not equal the anthracite
coal barons.
Bolton Hall of New York city, an
expert in taxation matters, made this
public statement during the coal
strike:
"The gigantic coal companies OF
Pennsylvania pay practically no taxes
on their valuable properties mean
that, as rule, they pay farm taxes
worth 100000 per acre. There is not
an acre of coal land but is worth $3,-
900, and much of it is worth Mr..
Schwab's valuation. have the trans
cripts from the assessors lists to show
that much of the coal land is assessed
at So per acre. The highest rate that
can discover is that of coal land. In
other words, the coal companies are
exempt from taxation.
"Now for the remedy: Let the COM
monwealth tax the coal barons Moth
ing would bring them to their senses
so quickly. They are demanding the
protection of the state militia, which
they avoid supporting. If the coal
barons paid the taxes they should
pay the burdens on the other people OF
Pennsylvania would be lightened fully
$6,O00,00O."
This reduced to few words is that
the coal land owners of Pennsylvania
avoid $6,000,O00 of taxation by mon
strous differentiation of their highly
valuable land.

Is Silver d Legal Tender.

The National Tribune says: 'At
this late day the supreme court is
about to pass upon the question of the
constitutionality of the legal tender
provisions Of the Bland-Allison act Of
1878.
"The case originated in Michigan in
1897, and the parties to the litigation
are Fred A. Baker and Stephen Bald
win. Baldwin was indebted to Baker
to the extent of 1854, and in payment
rendered 364 silver dollars. Baker re-
fused to accept the silver, alleging
that 1t was not legal money. Baldwin
brought suit in the state courts of
Michigan to compel acceptance, and
those courts sustained his contention.
Baker brought the case to the SUI
preme court on writ of error, and the
court will now take the case up for
final consideration"
Editor Independent: enclose the
above clipping from the National Tri-
bune of Washington, d. c., dated Octo-
Der 23 VIII you please let us know If
silver dollars were legal tender in the
year 1897? Please tell your readers
when silver dollars ceased to be legal
tender and when they again became
legal money. am much pleased with
your paper, The Independent.

(The silver dollar never was de-
monetized; that is, there never was a
time in the history of this govern
ment when it was not a legal tender
{0 ts
legal tender today except where 9TH
erwise provided in the contract" There
are many other things that are legal
tender besides gold. National bank
notes are legal tender between banks
and for all payments made by the gov
ernment for services or supplies. You
can find out exactly to what extent
national bank note is legal tender by
reading what is printed on its face and
back. Greenbacks are legal tender for
all debts and obligations except duties
on imports and interest on public debt.
If the followers of Fowler or any of
that gang ever get congress to make
gold the sole legal tender in this cOun-
try, then we shall have a gold stand
ard. At present we are a thousand
miles from it. 1t is the opinion of The
Independent that the real leaders of
the republican party will think once
or twice before they undertake to de-
stroy what legal tender power is left
to the silver dollar. If they make it
redeemabie in gold and undertake to
redeem the six hundred million silver
certificates in that metal there will be
a crash such as the world never saw
If that is what the financial moguls
want, why, of course, they will get it.

SOCIETY OF THE ARMY OF THE
PHILIPPINES HOLDS ITS
REUNION.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, IOWA,
is FULL OF VETERANS
Main Thing of the First Days Pro-
ceedings Is the Annual Address of
Gen. Irving Hale, the President,
Whose Words Have an Administra-
tive Flavor.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, Aug. 13.-
The third annual reunion of the Soci-
ETY. of the Army of the Philippines be-
gan in this city today with nearly 1000
delegates and veterans in attendance.
After a brief reception early in the day
the society was called to order in Ar
canum hall by the president, Geel. Irv-
ing Hale. Following the address of
Gen. Hale, routine business was taken
up, the session lasting greater part
of the afternoon.
Tonight a rece .Ntion was held at Lake
Manawa. There were an address of
welcome by Gov. Cummins, of Iowa,
and other addresses by Gov. Savage,
of Nebraska, and Gen. Hale.
Veterans of the Philippine war be-
gan to pour into the city early today to
take part in the reunion. Among the
arrivals were Gen. Irving Hale, presi-
dent of the society, Gems. Macarthur,
Wheaton and King, who were escorted
to headquarters by committees of the
local society. Delegations from Iowa,
Nebraska, Minnesota, North and South
Dakota, Kansas and Colorado came in
Following a brief reception to the
delegates at headquarters, they were
given an opportunity TO register, after
which was held a general meeting of
the society, presided over by it's pres
ident, Gen. Hale.
Recommended by President Hale.
The society listened to the annual
address of Gen. Irving Hale. He said
that Aug. 10 was chosen as the date
for the convention because of it's his
toric significance, it being the ami
versary of the capitulation Of Manila,
(which was the last event of the Span
isb war and gave to the United States
the possession of the Philippine arch
ipelago, with all it's problems, conflicts,
responsibilities and possibilities"
Gen. Hale recommended that the
limit of membership be extended to
those serving in the army in the Phil
ippines up to July A, 1902, the date Of

PRINTERS MAY JOIN
MILITIA COMPANIES
Attempt to Prohibit This Defeated by
The international Typo
graphical Union.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Aug 13-Tha
convention of the International Typo
graphical union made many changes in
it's laws today. After providing yes
terday for the Oldest substitutes get
ting the first vacancy, 1t today re-
Stricted the hours per week to fifty
four, put evening papers with Sunday
editions on the Seven-day basis and
made many minor changes. An effort 70
include superintendent in the mem
bership failed. There will be strong
opposition to indorsing the newly-or-
ganized International Ladies' auxil-
larry.
The convention became very ami
mated over an alleged factional fight
that was precipitated by the Indianap-
oils union and showed its conservative
spirit in defeating a proposition to
prohibit any member from belonging
to the militia. Consideration of pro-
posed changes in the laws of the
union were considered all the after
noon and until late tonight.
Amendments were adopted against
working for less than the scale Of any
union, against men recommended by
supply agents of others, against
granting labels to unions where the
scale falls below SO per week. Sew
eral changes were made in the laws
regulating labels from firms violating
any union laws. Various amendments
were also made regarding membership
cards and dues. Minor changes were
made in the laws limiting the hours
per week and the classification of pa
pers.
There was very exciting discussion
over an amendment providing that no
person is entitled to membership in
typographical union who is a member
of any state militia. The sentiment
was generally expressed against union
men belonging to the militia but many
of those holding these views did not
want the Typographical union to go on
record against any part of the govern
ment or against any individual rights.
The contest for the next meeting
place seems to be between Washington
and Newark.
1t is conceded that the convention
in 1904 will be held at st. Louis.
Thomas A. Whalen, superintendent
of the municipal printing plant Of
Boston, addressed the convention in
support of municipal ownership of
printing plants for all cities and
states.
The visiting ladies held secret meet
ings and effected permanent organiza-
ton of the International Woman's
Auxiliary to the I. T. u. by electing
the following officers: President, Mrs.
Frank Kennedy, Omaha; vice presi-
dents, Mrs. Loser, Nashville; Miss
Mary Crowley, Cincinnati; Mrs. nj. u.
Crowley, Milwaukee, and Mrs Her
man Matthews, Omaha. Mrs. Bonnell,
of Cincinnati was elected secretary
treasurer. A constitution was prepared
by Mrs. Kennedy, Mrs. Jessie Johnson
and Miss Frances l.. Taylor, and
adopted. 1t embodied close relations
with the I. T. u, with membership
limited to relatives of members of the
typographical unions.
The convention of the International
Stereotypers and Electrotypers' union
today adopted an agreement to be pre-
scented to the United Typothetae. The
adoption of trade mark and matters
relating to time and wages were con-
sidered.

President Smith Speaks and Assets,
Currency, ETC., Are Discussed.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Aug. 13.-The
business session of the eighth annual
convention of the Wisconsin State
Bankers association was held here to-
day. About 100 members were in at
tendance. The morning session was
devoted to the address Of President
H. D. Smith, of Appleton, in which he
dwelt on the general prosperity of the
country and important questions in
connection with banking. Routine
business was also transacted. The ap-
pointment of delegates to the American
Bankers convention was left to the
new president.
The afternoon session was devoted to
q discussion Of assets, currency and
branch banking
Resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed opposing all legislation tending to
the substitution Of branch banks for
the present Independent system Of
banking, and urging representatives
in congress to oppose such proposed
legislation; opposing any law tending
toward the substitution of asset cur
rency for the present national bank
circulation; requesting that the bank
ing laws of the state Of Wisconsin
be revised and adapted to the pres
ent need of the state; and protesting
against the taxation of banking houses

the proclamation of amnesty, and con-
tinued:
"At present, and perhaps for some
time to come, there are two special
reasons for maintaining such an or
ganization: First, loyal, nom partisan
support of the United States govern
ment in it's earnest and conscientious
efforts to carry out the responsibilities
which our campaigns in the Philippines
brought forth.
Second, defense of the United States
army which has been made a chop
ping block by hostile politicians in
their attacks on the administration.
Let us stand together for the honor Of
our communicative chief, the president,
and the army, the navy and the flag"
Gen. Hale recommended a plan for a
uniform constitution and bylaws of
local camps, copy of which he sub
mitted. He spoke of the plans and
purposes of the general society and re-
viewed the Philippine campaign in
which the members of the society took
part.
Greeting From President Roosevelt.
A telegram from President Roose-
welt read as follows:
Permit me to express to the men,
bers of the Society of the Army Of the
Philippines my great regret that my
engagements make it impossible for
me to attend their third annual re-
union. Naturally those of us who serv-
ed in Cuba look with a particularly
keen interest and sympathy upon all
that has been done by our valiant
brethren who have so nobly fought for
the honor of our flag in the Philip

tend. Nothing would give me greater
pleasure, and it is with keen regret
that I am obliged to refuse. With
