The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1903-07-30

Populist differences are now settled.
No change, however, will be made in
the two national committees, but they
will continue as until i.ii the the mex.
national convention selects new com
mittee for the campaign of 1904.
Working in harmony with these two
will be the national committee Sc
lected by the Denver conference, which
is intended to bring together both fac
tons in each state. Part OF the work
will be to arrange for state confer
ences later this year and effect a
thorough organization.
AS national organization the peo-
pies party will never again join hands
with any other party. 1t will have it's
own candidate for president and vice
president.
Whether this action will result in
rallying around it's standard the for
mer adherents, depends almost wholly
upon what the old parties do next
year. The republican party is safely
plutocratic. So is the democratic par
ty-when it wins. 1t was really DEM
ocratic in 1896 and 1900-and lost be-
cause it's state leaders in the east
were plutocrats and stabbed it to the
heart.
Given next year an Iowa platform
and German or Parker, and the dem
ocratic party will lose hundreds of
thousands of votes The peoples party
will poll one and one-half to two mil
lions. But populists generally rec
ognize that with a Chicago or Kansas
City platform and a man of Bryan's
stamp, the democratic party can kill
the peoples party-independ ac-
ton, or no action, or fusion cutting
no figure.
There is room for but one really
democratic party-and whether it
goes under the name democrat or
peoples" is a question that will be
decided next year. In any event there
will be genuine opposition to plutoc-
racy, and not a repetition of the
tarcical opposition of the democratic
party from the war until 1896.

A SENATORIAL CAD

The newspapers exhausted their vo-
cabulary of irvective, ridicule and sar-
casm in regard to Kansas populists.
But the Kansas populists sent a re-
spectacle man to the United States
senate. AS soon as the republicans got

is HE A "NATURAL"

Henry w. Yates, gold democrat and
national banker, has attempted to
write On money and he makes just
as ridiculous an ass of himself as he
was wont to do in 1896 and 1900. He
gives definition of "fiat money" The
Independent wonders how long he will
stand by it. He says:
"Fiat money is any money made
to order, Or which comes into
existence by means of legislation
That is exactly what the populists
have always said. AS it is impossible
to conceive of any sort of money COM
ing into existence in any other way
than by means of legislation" he is
in perfect accord with the Omaha plat
form and Senator John P. Jones, who
said in his great speech of 1893, page
1902:
"Ali money, whether Of gold,
silver or paper, Is fiat Money
is created by law"
Gold becomes money by means of
legislation, therefore, according to
Mr.. Yates, gold is 'fiat money" Mr.
Yates will hardly claim that a nugget
of uncoined gold is money" If he
thinks so, let him undertake to dis
charge a judgment or pay his taxes
with it. But that nugget of gold may
become money. How? By means OF
legislation" So gold is ''fiat" money
according to Mr.. Yates definition.
Mr. Yates shows his assininity fur
ther along in a still more striking
way. He says:
Natural or sound money is that
which depends for its supply sole
ly upon the amount of labor ex-
pended in its discovery and pro-
duction, and whose value is fixed
by no law"
That statement shows that Mr.
Yates is a socialist. The socialists
claim that labor creates all value ant
the value of his natural or SOUND
money" is created by labor. Much
labor has been expended at Crede
/ Colo, and much gold has been takeI
from those mines. But after the la
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1903-07-30

back into power they sent cal and a
scoundrel there. He is one of those
despicable creatures that makes a de-
cent man disguised whenever his name
is mentioned. Some months ago this
senator, Burton, went to the president
and told him that he, Burton, was in
terested in great religious and moral
scheme connected with the st. Louis
worlds fair. 1t was to reproduce an
exact fac smile of the city OF Jeru-
salem. The president was interested
and afterwards wrote Burton conf
Dental and private letter introducing
him to some of his churc friends.
Burton took this letter, had it photo
graphed, surrounded it with advertise
ing matter so worded as to make the
president indorse the stock OF the
company formed to get up the exhibit
ton and sent it to magazine as full
page advertisement. The proprietor
of the magazine was astonlshed and
coming to the conclusion that the let
ter must be forgery, wrote to the
president to know if it was genuine.
1t is said that when Teddy got that
letter his language cracked the plas-
tering On the White house walls The
-
stopped and Burton has been kicked
into the outer darkness, as far as any
patronage is concerned, in which the
opposition senators dwell.
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1903-07-30

Dor has been paid, more than hum
dred millions of gold was left and it
was distributed amnog the owners of
those mines. What put value into the
gold that stockholders got after the
labor had been paid for?
Evidently Mr.. Yates concludes that
the old phrase sound money" has
seen its day and he must have a new
one, so he coined natural money"
Natural means fixed or determined
by nature If there is such thing as
natural money" then it has existed
since time began. Away back among
the uncounted millions of years that
the biologists tell us about, even be-
yond the silurian age in the Azolc
times, there existed money" Before
the Trenton granite was deposited,
money existed for it is natural"
Mr. Yates says of his natural mon
ey that it's value is fixed by 70 law"
If that is the case, then gold is not
natural money" For the value OF
25 $40 grains of gold is fixed by
law and the law says that hat much
gold nine-tenths fine shall be one dol
lar.
Mr.. Yates may claim that there are
other meanings to the word natural
and to that The Independent agrees.
Here is one which, after reading his
article in the World-Herald, July 13.
would seem to fit him:
Natural. One born without the
usual powers Of reason"
Mr.. Yates not only seems to have
been born without the power to rea-
son, but he shows still greater de-
feet. He can't distinguish between
truth and falsehood Read the follow
ing and see how true this assertion is:
1--WE have now fat money in
DIS lOllOWO.
Legal tender notes. ......$ $4,000. 900
Silver certificates ....... 462,OOO,O00
National bank notes.. 100000, 600
Total ...............$1, 234, 00O, 900
"All this volume of currency is
based for it's redemption upon g gold
reserve in the United States treasury
of $3.50, 100000 giving us an inverted
pyramid, the base line of which is l50,
and the top line 1884
Mr.. Yates must certainly know that
his statement that the $4,000, 900 of
silver certificates are not Chased for
their redemption upon gold reserve
| in the United States treasury Of $780,
| COO 1000" On the face of every Silver
certificate there are printed these
| words: This certifies that there has
been deposited in the United States
treasury payable to the bearer on de-
mand silver dollars" Any man
can satisfy himself concerning wheth-
er Mr.. Yates can distinguish between
truth and falsehood by reading what
is printed on the first paper dollar that
he gets, for in SO cases out of 100 it
will be a silver certificate.

The dailies have had a great deal to
say about the publication of the poll
tics of Minneapolis and the convic-
ton of Mayor Ames and his brother,
the chief of police. They have. how
ever never mentioned the fact that
the whole movement was the work
OF the old populist, Ignatius Donnelly.
He set on foot the investigation that
ended in the conviction of the Ames
brothers and other city boodlers and
fought the whole gang to which they
belonged for years.
S$S$S&S$
Up to the present writing twenty
two deaths from lockjaw have re-
suited from wounds by toy pistols in
the state of Pennsylvania alone.
There is a good deal of discussion in
the papers about how to prevent the
sale of these deadly things. Suppose
they try taxation like they did on
Oleomargarine. Put tax of S. on
each pistol and provide that stamp
to that amount shall be attached to
each one, in the absence of which the
owner will be fined and sent to prison
&SSS&
The entire push" on Wall street is
just at present united in maintaining
prices and resisting to the uttermost
any decline. Besides Wall street, the
managers of the republican party,
knowing that their hold on power de-
ponds upon it, are using every means
at their command to the same end.
They have an awful load of, as Jim
Hill says, "indigestible securities to
carry and the only question is how
long they can endure the strain. 1t
may be that they can put of the col
lapse until after the presidential cleo
ton and in that is their only hope.
These have been a good many stor-
les printed in the papers about the
discovery in Colorado of extensive
fields of anthracite and semi-anthra-
cite coal. David H. Motif, who is
building what is called the Motif
Short Line road out in Colorado, an
rounced in New York the other day
that when that road was finished he
would deliver anthracite coal, as good
as the Pennsylvania variety, in Chi
cago at S. ton. The Independent has
had so much experience with million
aire lies that it takes this statement
"cum grano Sails" 1t seems to it
that if there were such a field of an
thracite out there, some responsible
newspaper man would long ago have
visited the spot and told all about it.
A description of such deposits and
their extent would make feature
in any Sunday paper that would at
tract universal attention.

BIMETALIsM AT LAST

The fact that the great dailies are
more interested in suppressing the
news than they are in printing it is
shown by the way they have treated
this question of adopting bimetallsm
at the ratio of 80 to /. tt commits
son appointed by the president to go
to Europe has visited England, France
and Germany and is now on it's way to
Russia. The first three nations have
agreed to the plan and there is no
manner of doubt that Russia will also.
IN Germany the conference resolved
that it would be beneficial to "fy"
the value of silver in relation to gold,
and as much so to the gold-using coun-
tries as to the silver-using countries.
The funny thing is that this same
conference passed another resolution
disclaiming any idea of promoting BIZ
metallism. If fixing" the value of
silver in relation to gold by law is not
bimetallism, what is it? The Indepeu-
dent informed it's readers all about
this move by this, and the European
governments months ago, being as u.s.
ual, that much ahead of the dailies
in furnishing news that is of interest
to the people.

Some of the pretenses for wearing

the most absurd and childish that sill

invent and the most ridiculous of them
all is this thing called the veteran"

lasted only few weeks. How a SOL
der could become a veteran in that
time, is one Of those things that no
