has been flooded with books, maya
zines and papers and the theme has
been money money, money. 1t ap-
pears in the poetry, in fiction, in what
ever is published in one form or an
other, until the heart goes sick and
the soul starves. A psychological wave
has passed over the nation penetrat
ing the remotest hamlet as we'll as
sweeping all before it in the large
financial centers, driving men mad to
get money. Patriotism, justice, the
love of liberty, have all been engulfei
beneath its towering breakers. The
ideals of century which the people
of this country have made the guide
OF their lives, have been trampled un-
derfoot as worthless rubbish and mon
ey has been made to answer ali
things.
Here and there of late there appears
a sign of better day, in the antag--
onism which some of the better writ
ers show toward the worship of mon
ey. Men who have devoted their lives
to the accumulations of millions are
not held up as models as they were
five years ago and even their gifts are
spurned, when once no question was
raised about accepting them. Per-
haps we may get back to a condition
of life like that when Patrick Henry
made the hearts of millions throb by
a speech, not about accumulated mill
lions, but about liberty, or when JEFF
ferson wrote, not about money, but
about the inalienable rights of man.
The men who are capable of writing
good literature can aid in this more
than any other class, that is, If the
ministers won't.

TARIFF GRAFTERS HAPPY

The American Protective Tariff
league is having a time of great re-
joicing these days. 1t has compelled
President Roosevelt to change front
on the question of tariff revision and
reciprocity and is doing a great deal
Of boasting about it's achievement.
Teddy started out with a declara-
tion that he would stand pat on the
Mckinley policies including reciproc-
ity. He has changed his mind and is
going to stand pat with the American
Protective Tariff league. The league
has over thousand members, every
one tariff CRATER. Every member
pays into the treasury of the concern
$1OO each year besides special assesg-
ments which often amount to much
more. With this money the league
runs a literary bureau and furnishes
most of the editorials on the tariff
printed in republican papers. Besides
that it prints weekly paper called
the American Economist. 1t says that
its tariff matter is put into the band
of $4,000, 600 readers every day in the
year. The league boasts that this way
of disseminating matter in favor of
high protective tariff makes them "a
Vincible and it will make impossible
the crossing of a "t," the dotting of
an 81" or the change of a punctu4-
tion mark in the Dingley tariff for
years to come. So all the tariff graft
ers are happy and the league en-
cages in much rejoicing.

MOST HELPFUL
A BANKRUPT WORLD

Imperialism is of more momentous
consequence tc mankind than any
other false principle that has been adj
vocated in the last 1000 years. II
means the bankruptcy of the world.
The ordinary expenses of the English
government have advanced at the rate
of $25 100000 a year since 1895. All
the world powers" Including the
United States, have increased their
expenditure in like manner. A few
years ago the people were frightened
at the work of the "billion-dollar con-
gress." Now we are very near the
two billion basis. Taxation in France
and Germany is enormous, yet every
year the expenses of government in
those nations grow greater, and the
deficits grow larger. The same is
true of Italy, Austria and Russia. The
great navies, the enormous standing
armies, which grow more costly ev-
cry year, are adding burdens that h Il
manity cannot long endure. Every
item of war grows more costly. One
shot from some of the guns costs thou
sands of dollars. The infantry and
cavalry arms and accountrements cost
more and more.
All this, if it goes on much longer,
as every thinking man knows means
a bankrupt world. Into this craze
the republican party has thrown it
self and all of its machinery More
war ships, increase of ordinary ex-
penditure, extravaganza in every de-
partment and the cry is: "On with
the Dance"
%S$SSSS&
In q recent speech in the English
house of commons John Burns, in
speaking of this country, said: mot
only the senate and the house of rep
resentatives, but also the state leg
islatures are in the hands of the COM
bines, trusts and Pierpont Morgan,
Industrial America is hell with the
lid Off" That may not be an exact
description of the present conditions,
but it will fall short Of what will hap
pen If the trusts succeed in finally de-
stroying competition.

MORE CURRENCY TINKERINa


ever demonstrated their incapacity to
deal with a subject, it is the leaders of
the republican party in their attempts
to settle the money question. They
have controlled every branch of the
government stree March 4, 1895. They
have introduced bill after bill into
congress and have passed various
monetary measures and now, accord
ing to their own statements, the none
: tary muddle is worse than it ever
was before. They have made a failure
of everything that they have under
taken in that line, but they are not
discouraged. They are going to try
again.
1t is announced in the financial col
umns of the dailies that during the
coming week Senators Spooner, Aid
rich, Platt and Allison will hold con-
ference to draft another monetary
measure to be introduced in the COM
ing congress. In regard to the char
acter of this new legislation, Senator
SpOoner said:
The general purpose of our con-
ference will be to frame a bill
which shall mitigate as far as can
be safely done the rigor of the
subtreasury system, and to in
ject as far as can be safely done
also greater measure of elastic
ity into the treasury system with
out greatly changing. present
Methods
That is simply to say that we are
going to do something, but we don't
know exactly what. One thing is
certain: that quartet will never inter
fere with the issuing of money by the
banks and will never favor the issu-
ing of money by the government in
s fticient quantities to maintain stable
prices. They will not undertake to
settle the subtreasury question by re-
ducing taxes so there will be no
heavy balances in the treasury. If
they did that there would be no sub
treasury question to settle. What
they will do will be to let the taxes
remain SO that there will be millions
to hand over to the bankers without
interest. What they will do is the
same sort of tinkering that they have
been engaged in for the last thirty
years, all the time looking out TO:
special privileges for the national
bankers
This is the only nation that is ever
lastingly tinkering with the money
system. Aside from the silly attempt
of the European bankers "to establish
a gold standard" in which Francs
took no part, the other nations of the
world have let the money question
alone. They are all so sick of that
attempt that now they are going to
all join together to fix a ratio be-
tween silver and gold and the Roth
schilds are at the bottom of it. Mean
time Allison, Spooner, Aldrich and
Platt will go on with their childish
performances.

MAMMON AND LITERATURE

The love of money can much more
easily get foothold in the church
than it can in permanent literature.
There is something in good literature
that satisfies the soul as nothing else
can, and it matters little whether it
is found in poetry, fiction, history,
biography or travel. The moment
that the almighty dollar appears in
a written work, that moment the soul
of literature departs, and there is
nothing left but the common clay. It
resembles picture composed of in
harmonious colors.
For the last ten years this country

ever. But what will the end be? Will
the wage-workers have to submit to
a scale of wages that bears no COM
parison to the cost of living? Or will
the people, enraged beyond endurance
rise up and suppress the trusts? One
of these two things it will have to be.

JOHN p. ALTGELD

The republican leadership of this
country is devoid of honor and per-
fectly shameless. There was never
a man in public life in this country
who was SO maligned, cursed and rep
rotated as John P. Altgeld. He was
called by the republican leaders an
anarchist, a traitor, a man of vile
instincts, and denounced as one dan
gerous to the welfare of society. The
men most active in this despicable
Work-the men who inaugurated it
were the republican leaders of Illi-
nois. John P. Altgeld died and the
flowers have rot bloomed twice upon
his grave until the legislature of Illi-
nois, having an immense republican
majority, sets aside a day to honor
him. The very men who bounded Alt
geld while he lived, lied about him,
maligned him, denounced him as an
anarchist, got up on the floor of that
assembly and pronounced the most
fulsome eulogies upon his life and
character. Then they voted to make
a gift of $4,000 to his widow.
The Independent. cannot find words
to express it's disgust of the men who
did that thing John P. Altgeld was
as pure-souled man, as profound a
philosopher, as wise statesman as
this country produced during the last
century. Yet the dailies, those un-
speakable publications that defy ev-
cry moral law, made the name of Alt
geld Infamous among their readers.

STORED LABOR"

The editor returns thanks for vari-
GUS communications, pamphlets and a
book sent him by an honest socialist
for the purpose of enlightening the
mental darkness which surrounds
this writer. He wishes to say that
that darkness" will never be illum-
mated by telling him what will hap
pen under socialism" That is only
a dream and The Independent does
not have any faith in dreams, whether
they come to a man when he is awake
or asleep. Then, again, hyperbole and
gorgeous metaphors carry no light to
his mind. For the life of him Git may
be some mental defect) he cannot i'm
agine what socialist means when
he says ''stOred labor" Where is the
store house in which it is kept? What
is the thing called "stored labor
like? What is it's color, it's specific
gravity, it's form or shape? Will some
good socialist please forward a small
sample Of STORED labor to the edi-
tor, dwelling in darkness, so he may,
by feeling or taste, even though the
darkness in which he dwells is so
dense that he cannot see, form some
idea of it? If a small sample of
STORED labor does not cost alto
gether too much, it may be sent to the
editor of The Independent by express
G. o. D.
The editor Of The Independent
would never forgive himself if he
wrote anything that would hurt the
feelings of any man honestly striving
to better the condition of the toilers
OF the world, but he cannot believe
that the men who use such phrases,
and scores more like them, know
what they mean themselves. To prove
that they do, let some socialist give a
definition of STORED labor in such
words that the millions dwelling in
darkness" similar to that of the edi-
tor of The Independent can under
stand A definition of that sort would
find ready admission to these columns.

such men as the republican leaders
who denounced Altgeld while he was

those sports of the field which bring
humanity more and more into contact
with nature. And the result of the doc
trine that it has consistently preached
is seen to-day in the constantly in
creased use by women of the fishing
rod and the rifle, the shotgun and the
golf club. the saddle horse and the ca
noe. There are even women who sail
their own yachts, and often do ii quite
as well as men sail theirs. Yet it is to
be remembered that to most women all
this outdoor life is new, and that as
all of us learn how to do things only
by doing them. so that the woman who
takes up any outdoor sport as an adult,
learns it's mysteries with more diff
Guilty than her younger sister, who be-
gins to use the various tools of her
chosen craft as a little girl. Just as
a man who puts off learning to shoot
or cast a fly until middle life is OBJ
liged to go through a course of educa-
ton to become proficient in the chosen
art, so a woman must take lessons in
the one she may choose. This is espe-
Cially important when the art is to be
practiced with a dangerous weapon.
No one is likely to be injured in using
a fly-rod, but it is a different thing
when a shotgun is in question.
Nothing is more important, there
fore, than that the woman undertake
ing this new pursuit should be taught
by some one who is competent. This
instructor is likely to be a brother, ia
Their, or husband. and he cannot de-
vote too much care and effort in start
ing his charge just right Habits-be
they good or bad-are easily formed,
and. once contracted, are hard to
break. IT, therefore. the pupil is
taught to perform the various opera
tions as thew should be performed if
she is carefully watched and her at
tention called to each slightest infrac-
ton of the laws which the instructor
has laid down, she will soon learn to
do things precisely as he believes they
ought to be done and, by as much as
she does them just in this way. by so
much will she become constantly more
and more a good comrade and reliable
friend in the field or by the brookside.

SOUTHERN CAR COMPANY
Will Continue Under the Direction
of the Receiver.

of the Receiver.
Chattanooga, Tenn, Oct. 26.-The
creditors of the Southern Car and
Foundry Company met to-day in the
United States Court. President JAG
quette sent letter, announcing his
inability to be present. and asked that
an examiner be appointed to take his
statement in New York.
Receiver Bush of Birmingham was
present and made a verbal report on
1.-THE condition of the company, saying
the receivers would probably be able to
make a complete report by Dec. l. His
statement contains some severe ref1ec-
tions upon the management of the
company.
The creditors decided by vote that
the receivers should have a right to
continue the operation of the plants of
the company.
In his testimony Receiver Bush stat
ed that the Southern Car and Foundry
Company had no working capital of
consequence, and it's credit was greatly
injured by irregular business methods.
According to the statement of Col,
Bush, warehouse companies tags
were attached to large quantities OF
material after the receivership of the
Southern Car and Foundry Company
was declared. The apparent, though
not actual, profits of operations under
the receivership amount to about $780,
600. But it was explained that the
operations of the receivership have
been and will be more in the way OF
preventing losses than making actual
profits.
