A WORD TO POPULIsTs

It is hard for the ordinarys man
who is not acquainted with 1.-The pro-
POSITION that reform papers are up
against" to fully realize the nature OF
the difficulty that confronts every per-
son who attempts to print paper that
is opposed to trusts and corporations.
Competition we will meet without a
word of grumbling, but when we are
forced to enter field where our COM
petitors give away their goods that is
another proposition. The Independent
has often called attention to the fact
that the farmers homes are flooded
with newspapers that are given away.
During the last year these plutocratic
papers have invented a new scheme
which enables them not only to give
away their papers, but to get unlim-
tied advertising of the fact. Their
form of procedure is illustrated in an
item in the Greeley (Neb) Citizen.
The Citizen says:
"The Nebraska State Journal
sends us an advertising PROPOSE
tiOn, Offering to furnish their
weekly edition to us at Is cents a
year. We presume our democratic
neighbor will advertise the Jour
nails proposition, as it did thai of
the Chicago Inter-Oceans short
time since, and as the priceso of the
Journal is SO small! it might offer
it free to new subscribers.
The Greeley Citizen has guessed
right. That is just what the corpora
lion papers have been doing for over "a
year. They first tried it by putting
their papers down to 25 cents year
in clubbing offers with country week
lies and now they have reduced it to
Is cents. The State Journal is not
the only one in that sort of work.
The whole gang is at it. 1t is not to
be supposed that the publishers of
these plutocratic sheets foot the losses.
There is a fund somewhere to be
drawn upon.
That is the proposition that The In
dependent and every other reform pa
per is "up against" We must enter
field to supply newspaper demand
where our competitors give away their
papers. 1t will be a hopeless fight un-
less the readers of The Independent
Ldhc d udhus uCy hdfC uohC oo III
all the years of the past They and
they alone have given this paper the
vide circulation that it has. The war
upon plutosraey is no child's play. 1t
takes brave men to carry it On and
they must have sacrificing sup
porters to back them. No greater
calamity could happen to this nation
than to drive out of existence every
paper that will not sell its editorial
columns to the worshippers of Nam
mon, and no more truly patriotic
work can be done than in extending
the circulation Of paper that fights
plutocracy and corporations from one
end Of the year to another.

The eastern dailies hold up their
hands in holy horror because Mr.. Bry-
an called Cleveland "bunco steerer."
Ii is the opinion of The Independent
The independent., 1903-08-27

The lying tendencies in the great
dailies are not confined to matters
political at all. They cater to every
vice and every prejudice of mankind.
They endeavOr to create the idea that
there is but one section of one race
that is really entitled to be called
men" and that is the Anglo-Saxon
Everybody else in their plan is ''in-
ferior." Instead of cultivating the
broad principle of "the brotherhood of
man. they teach race prejudice It
crops out against the Indian as well
as all other races. That has gone to
such All extent that Colonel Pratt of
the great Carlisle Indian school felt
called upon to make a protest against
it in his official report to the COM
missioner Of Indian affairs. He says:
From time to time throughout
the history of the school illustrated
stories have appeared in the public
prints, especially in the Sunday
editions, making most fagrantly
false allegations against returned
Carlisle students Within the past
five years as many as twenty such
stories have been printed, ali of
them entirely false, and some of
them most malignant in character.
There has seemed to be o syndi-
cate of fabricators moved by
common purpose to disparage and
manufacture prejudice. My re-
peated contradictions of these
stories to newspapers themselves
did not stop these misrepresenta-
tions."
He then calls attention to the story
about White Buffalo which was printed
in the Philadelphia North American.
which was profusely illustrated, CON
cerning this graduate of Carlisle who
was said to have murdered two or
three wives, every word of which was
a lie made up out of whole cloth
Colonel Pratt sued the North Ameri-
can for libel, but that paper made a
full retraction and prosecuted the cor
respondent who sent the article.
All the great educators and large
numbers of the best citizens of this
country look upon the great daiIies as
distinctly demoralizing in their ten
dencieS.

The idiocy of the claim that the
possession of the Philippines strength
ems the military power of the United
States should be SO plain that null
let head could see it. We are weaker
by just as much force, naval and
military, as it will take to guard and
defend a thousand islands 1000 miles
away, whose inhabitants will join
with the first nation that proclaims
war against us. How many soldiers
and how many ships will it take to
keep control of those islands against
a foreign enemy and all the inhabi-
tants thereof? The European mon
arches were jealous of the power Of
the United States and every one of
them urged the imperialists on to sub
jugate the Philippines for the purpose
Of restricting the power Of these
states. - ,v,

The power that railroads exercise
over their employees is shown in the
state OF affairs in the First and Third
wards OF Lincoln. The populists and
democrats carry those wards and have
row the two councilmen, but there
are scarcely enough known populists
and democrats to be found in them to
hll the delegation to a county conven-
ton. Most of the voters are railroad
employees and a. known on primary
registration books as republicans.
When it comes 10 voting the republi-
cans are largely in the minority.

The words "populist" and "popuI-
istic" and "popufism" have become q
permanent part of the English lam
guage. What the final meaning that
will attach to them will be cannot be
told. All the plutocratic papers use
them at present to describe anything
that is opposed to the continual domi-
nation of money, the schemes of the
trusts and consolidators of railroad
systems. In this they include all the
reforms demanded in the Kansas City
platform as well as the distinctly de-
fined populist principles. Such express
sions as "out-Bryan Bryan in popul-
istic principles" is often used. In the
eastern papers and reform, any change
from the doctrine Of liassez faire Ia
called "populism."
