The men who are appointed to
drive and manipulate those delec-

or dawn of day, must they contin-

If one were ill it is enough to cause

We went out and looked the

going on in the very best of trash
style-frst-rate horses, and the

them as if he were ascending Mt
Tantalus over stumps and rocks.
We had to laugh. in his face and told

Orient to Greece, from Greece to
Rome, from Rome to the Teuton
lands, from here OF England,
France and Spain, then the pilgrim
movement to Virginia and Massa-
chusetts, after that the go west,
young man." To the student of
history, all this has been but many
manifestations of one principle, and
that westward the course of en-
pires takes its way"
1--WE are told by men of science"
says Stevenson that all the ven
lures of mariners on the sea, all
that marching and counter-march-
ing of the races sprang from moth
ing more abstruse than the laws Of
supply and demand for cheap ra-
tons. To anyone thinking deeply
this seems too prosy an explana-
ton. 1t is much finer, and just as
reasonable to believe that the tribes
that came swarming out of the
north and the east during the
early centuries were drawn by the
magnetic influence of the south and
west quite as much as by the de-
mand for new and fresh pasturage
for their cattle. The fame of other
lands had reached them; they were
not so much colonists as pilgrims
they travelled toward gold and
sunshine and the fountains of
youth, but their hearts were set on
something higher. 1t was that
divine unrest, that old singing
trouble of humanity that makes
man attempt great achievements
even though he may fail miserably
the same prompting motive that
inspired and supported the barbar-
ians in their perilous marches from
one end of Europe to the other,
that sent Columbus across the TIN
known Atlantic, that challenged the
'forty-niners' to move westward"
There is legend that profound
ly illustrates this spirit of pilgrim
ages, of how flying party of wan
derers encountered on the road a
very old man shod with iron. The
old man asked them whittier they
were going, and they answered in
one voice: ITO the Eternal Citv!"
He looked upon them gravely. "I
have sought" he replied, cover the

crosses that have since been held, in
GLIDING the recent one.
II any man would stop to think for
moment that at least one-fifth of the
wheat raised in this country must find
a foreign market, he would see that
the farmers of this country could not
fix the price even if the whole of
them combined. For the price of that
fifth which goes abroad they must
contend in open market with Russia,
Argentina, India, France and some
other countries. Could they fix price
of 81 for what wheat they sold in the
United States and sell the other fifth
in Liverpool for so cents? The pro-
ducings of wheat is not a monopoly and
cannot he made one. AS long as that
state of things continues, the price
cannot be arbitrarily fixed. They say
that $4,000 farmers have Joined this
farmers trust. The Independent don't
believe it. There are not that many
idiots in the United States engaged
in farming.

WALL STREET ON ITS KNEES

Wall street still continues Ito get
It in the neck" One of the gentlemen
from that den of thieves appeared in
Chicago the other day and said that
unless the railroads could be induced
to discontinue tLeir literage charges in
New York or reduce the grain rates
the exporters would soon have to go
out of business.
This thing comes about because grain
can be shipped to Liverpool 8 cents a
bushel cheaper by way of Canada
free canals and Montreal than it can
via Boston or New York Besides that,
the far western grain can be shipped
much cheaper via the gulf ports than
all rail to New York and Boston.
A little while ago Wall street was
going to fOreclose on the mortgages
ard make the west bowling wilder
ness if We did not vote just as they
dictated Now their agents are out
here begging for mercy. They had no
mercy on u.s. and the west, while not
vindictive, will wait awhile before it
comes to their aid. A few doses of
their own medicine will do them good.
1t will take the starch out of them. -
The old cartoon that represented a
COW with her head in the west and the
farmer feeding her with hay and corn
while her hind parts we're in Wall
street and the gamblers there milking
her, was true representation of the
conditions for the last thirty years.
Now we have turned the COW around
and propose to milk her awhile our
selves. That little feat astonished
Wall street. The denizens down there
will be still more astonished before
the program is finished
Every old pop on these plains gives
a wild whoop every time he thinks
of these things

Besides the long list of rascals lev
cry one OF them closely connected with
Mark Hanna) who have been indicted,
there were thirteen more summarily
dismissed from the pOstoffice service
last week. But this is not the end of
the matter. The rascals in the inter-
ior department seem to be more nu-
merous than in the postoffice depart
ment. The federal officials in the Ind
ian territory have been caught in
wholesale stealing. Nearly every
member of the Dawes commission
from the president down have been
engaged in most stupendous frauds
against the Indians Prosecuting at
torneys who were appointed to defend
the Indians have organized develop
ment" companies for the express pur-
pose of defrauding them. The presi-
dent of the Dawes commission, Tams
Bixby Of Minnesota, who was acting
| president for several years in the fail
| ing years of the late Henry L. Dawes,
and succeeded him as president, is one
of those actively engaged in these
swindling companies. Another mem
Der of the commission. Thomas B.
Needles, is in one. United States Dis
trict Attorney Soper and Assistant
United States District Attorney James
A. Hucklebery, Clerk c. A. Davidson
Of the United States court at Vinita,
Internal Revenue Collector Guy P.
Cobb, Indian Inspector J. George
Wright-are other federal officials en-
gagged in these organizations to defraud
the Indian and make profit of his ig-
Dorance.
These men were sent to the Indian
territory to civilize, Christianize, edu-
cate and defend the Indians and they
were paid large salaries out of the
taxes collected from the people to do
those things. Instead of that they
have organized companies to rob and
exploit these ignorant and confiding
people. The Indian territory civilizers
ere of the same stamp that the same
party has sent to the Philippines and
they are doing the same kind Of work.
Will the president remove these
scoundrels or will he continue them in
office? The above list does not con-
tain the names of half of them.

MIXED

Readers of The Independent were
ooubtless little annoyed by the
makeup of the paper last week. Four
CT the inside pages were out of posi-
ton; but this affected no article ex-
cept the News of the Week which
started where page 6 ought to be, in
part of the edition this being num-
bered II, and in part without page
number; and the continuation coming
en- page IL in its proper position.
The explanation is-a new foreman,
unaccustomed to the work, picked up
en- short notice because the former
foreman persisted in incaps citating
himself by too intimate association
with John Barleycorn. Pages 4 and
IL, and 6 and II, are simply trans
posed. We trust the readers will M
age to read the paper through, not
withstanding the mix-up.

FARMERS TRUST

There has been an enormous amount
of trash published in the dailies late
~ about dollar wheat and a farmers
trust to fix prices. When w. H
Burke, editor of the Farmers Voice
was asked about this, he said:
when these big meetings of al
legged farmers, but which usually
are conducted by men who know
nothing of farming and have no
particular interest in the farmer,
take up the real questions at issue
and try to point out way to uni
versal and permanent reform of ex-
listing conditions, I shall believe
them to be sincere"
That reminds the editor of The In
dependent that several years ago he
attended one of the farmers con.
crosses at CouncilsBluffs, Ia, and was
appointed a member of the committee
on resolutions. When that committee
assembled he found that it was com
POSED of seven national bankers, {
politician of the democratic persuasion
(who afterward followed the Cleveland
gang), and himself AS he was thu
only person on the committee actual
ly engaged in farming, every PROPOSE
ton that he made was promptly voted
down, eight to one. That is the char
acter of all the famous farmers con

allow none but wage-workers to join
their ranks. The Nebraska leaders
say they believe in "class conscious
ness and the wage-workers must
form one class opposed to all others.
That seems to be rather queer when
we remember that Karl Marx was any
thing but wage-earner, either by
birth, training or position. He was
university student at Jena, Bonn
and Berlin, acknowledged to be one
CT the greatest thinkers of the century.
He married sister of the Prussian
minister of state Friedrich Engels
vas a wealthy cotton merchant and a
scholar, speaking ten languages-by
Lc means laborer. Bebel was a
prosperous manufacturer, an en-
ployer; Liebknecht was university
student; Robert Owen an industrial
magnate. And in America, at present,
at least many, if not majority of the
socialist leaders are anything but
wage workers.
J. A. Wayland, editor of the APP
peal to Reason; Gaylord Wiltshire, the
millionaire socialist Daniel De Leon,
the leader of the socialist labor party;
Walter t. Mills, J. Stitt Wilson,
George d. Heron, Franklin Went
worth, Frederick Strickland, Seymour
Stedman, and host of others are by
no means and never have been wage
earners nor laboring men.
And man who looks at these facts
cannot fail to come to the conclusion
that in reliance on the "proletariat''
there is no threat to the capitalistic
system as it now exists. This is only
to say again what The Independent
has often said before, that slaves
rever free themselves. The "class
conscious movement has little aid
from the "class" which it is proposed
to organize. The champions of that
cause come from another class alto
gether. The truth is that there is
nothing in the class conscious cry.

The editor of The Independent has
been in the habit of attending conven-
tons for very many years Of all politi-
cal parties, but he never, in all his
life, saw such a dead, spiritless, vapid,
political convocation as the republic
can state convention that nominated
Judge Barnes. There was no getting
life into them. Even large quantities
of whisky failed to produce an effect,
ffcr the bar at the Lindell hotel was
crowded two deep all the morning, and
