Mr.. Warren's criticism of The In

8, 1902, (See 'eWhat Is Populism,' this
issue), fails in this, that he seems
not to understand that the principles
OF a platform do not necessarily EN-
brace every word of the preamble; or
that while it is an eternal principle
that an increase in the supply of
money must inevitably result in
a decrease of the value of each
dollar. and consequent increase in

In speaking of Maddens attempt
to suppress The Independent, the Lin-
coin Star says:
Thousands of newspapers and
periodicals who were escaping full
payment of postage have been
hauled UP and forced to conform
to the rules. Among them it
would appear is The Independent.
1t seems to imagine that it is
about the only victim. The truth
is that nearly every newspaper in
the United States has had to be
called down by the department in
one way or another"
If the Star knows of even one re-
publican or plutocratic democratic pa
per that has been called to account
by Madden for selling extra copies
and sending them through the mails,
It will confer favor on the public
by giving the name of the paper and
the date of the orders from Washing
ton. Several reform papers have been
refused the mails by the arbitrary or
ders of these Washington imperial-
lists, but if there has ever been re-
publican paper SO treated the fact
has been kept secret.

prices, yet it does not follow that at
the time such statement is enunciated
in a platform that any preambulary
statement as to the then supply of
money is also eternallys true. The
supply of money changes as the years
&C by. The principles governing val
lie do not change
A reaffirmation last year of the
Omaha platform" instead of the
principles of the Omaha platform"
simply reiterated this statement in
the preamble of the Omaha platform:
1--WE meet in, the midst of nation
brought to the verge of moral, politi-
cal and material ruin" The material
ruin was last year not discernable
to the average man, and not nearly so
plainly to be seen then by the far
sighted man as it is today. We had
had then no coal famine, no car ia
mine, no great slumps in stocks;
, prices were high and showed no i'm
mediate signs of falling. Conditions
| in 1902 were not identical with those
o. 1892. But the great fundamental
truths enunciated in 1892 (the "prin-
ciples'O can never change. Mr.. War
rem fails to distinguish between the
enunciation of great natural laws and
mere statements of fact concerning
| material conditions.
! 1t is also true that Mr.. Warren
seemingly ignores totally the velocity
of coined mones in circulation as an
element to be considered. Bank de-
posits constitute a device to make
each dollar of coin travel faster. Ten
dimes changing hands each five times
a day in month of 26 days do the
same work in exchange that 100 dol
lars would do if each of them changed
hands only one /. the same time.
In the given illustration the per
capita" would be as 1:l50; yet in eff
ticiency as one to one. Never in the
history of the United States have
bank deposits been so great, either alb
solutely or relatively, and every dol
lar of bank deposit for the time being
is just as effective in exchange as if
it were stamped on gold or silver or
| nrinted on "preenbackS" The ner
capita increase in ten years, Mr.. War
rem says, was s3.96-about 16 per cent
for the decade; but the velocity of
each dollar in 1902 was much greater
than in 1S92-hence, the increase of
prices cannot be accounted for Who'll
ly by simply looking at the per capita
increase.

THE LIGHT Is BREAKING

is to be revival of populism. Men
have been trying the worship of Man,
mon, devoting tt mselves to greed
end accumulation of money and they
are finding, not comfort and happi-
ness, but hatred, malice, disappoint-
ment, and that the prize when cap
tured turns to bitterness and ashes.
Signs of revolt are appearing every
where.
Populism has been great moral
and ethical movement. When all the
nation went mad after gold and en-
pire, the populists stood true to the
old principles. They have said that
the real thing in life was not mon
ey, and that good government was
not a government of force" and
these lofty principles are attracting
tc the party men in every walk of
life Formerly the pulpit, the press,
influential society in the cities, were
that solid line is being broken in
many places. In what are called the
high class" magazines for many
years there has been trucking to
wealth and sneers for everything ad-
vocated by populists. Lately in many
of these magazines there have ap
peared articles attacking with vigor
! the trucking to men whose only
claim to recognition was that they
had accumulated by special privileges,
bribery of legislative bodies and ex-
| tortion large amounts of money and
the turning over to them the control
Of the government. That is one sign
| OF revolt.
The upheaval against corruption in
| the cities, where men who were here
! tofore pointed to as leading citi-
/ zens'' and recommended as models for
the youth of the land because they
had accumulated millions, have been
convicted and sent to the peniten-
tiary is another sign of the coming
revolt.
Still another is that some of the
ministers are beginning to denounce
| the worship of MONEY from their pull
pits in no uncertain terms and also
the men who have destroyed the high
ideals of this country with their greed
and imperialism. The editor of The
| Independent has heard two such SER
mons during the last month. The
pulpit is no longer solidly against us.
Letters are coming from every state
in the Union assuring us that writ
ers never propose to surrender. Be-
sides that, every populist who comes
into this office is still as full of fight
as he was from 1893 to 1896, and they
all feel that there is something in
the air that assures them that there
is revival of populism near at hand.
All the news that comes from the
eastern states and the constantly in
creasing circulation of The Indepen.
dent in those states is good evidence
that populism has ta,-en deep root
there. From the indications now, it
appears that there will be a large
number of populists at the Denver
conference on July 27. The Indepen-
dent looks forward to one OF the old
and enthusiastic meetings like those
held in the early years of the move
| ment at Cincinnati and st. Louis. The
grafters that attached themselves to
us in the hope of obtaining office have
deserted during the last two or three
years and we will have at Denver only
those who are working for the good
of mankind, "for which the Lord be
thanked"
Populism is taking on new life in
every state Of the Union.

JOHN BULL, JUNGLE"
Many Leans Made By That Country
Will Never Be Repaid.

Wlll Never &c Repaid.
There is not country in the world
which has not had 10 borrow money
from these isles. says Parsons Week
~" and there are few governments
which have not had TO fall back upon
John Bull when they've been in Queer
street.
Guatemala has borrowed a large
amount of British capital. How do mat
tiers stand today. The bonds for Cleo
are worth somewhere about G23 only
and there has been no payment OF
interest since June. 1899. Even then on
ly paltry = percent was paid, and half
of that was not in cash.
Honduras is a far worse debtor. The
bond which have a face value of G100
are dear at So. All this is owing to the
fact that Honduras spends far more
than il earns.
Columbia, strictly speaking. owes
British investors .e3.500, 600. Nearly the
whole of these debts are due to British
Sreditors. This particular republic. in
1897. called it's creditors together, and
made them an offer of composition OF
so much in the pound. 1t wiped out its
Did debt by giving new bonds for g.
10000. on which it paid l 1-2 percent
interest
Even other countries. about which
we know far more, such as Greece and
Turkey are almost as bad. A Greek
G 100 bond is worth from e31 TO &44.
according TO its class. A Turkish bond,
series ID" is worth but G26. That Is
why British creditors sigh.
Greece owes her very existence to
John Bull. Then the money she owes
him, This must amount TO somewhere
! about two and a half millions. eXclud-
ing the loan of 1895. ali of which is gone
, hopelessly. The latter loan was one OF
6 .S00000 and was guaranteed by Brit
ain. France and Russia, each country
being liable for a third of it. Should
France and Russia decide to renounce
their liability. poor old John will have
to 90 bail for the full amount. Very
likely this loan will never be repaid
Greecas old taskmaster is another
unfortunate debtor. In 1881 the Otto
man government. being unable TO meet
its liabilities. was obliged 10 call to-
gether its creditors in order to enter in
to an arrangement with them. John
Bull must have n sum of about 6 1900
coo owing him by Turkey. This sum is
the balance still owing Of loan of
.e5.000.000 made in 1855 in order &c
help Turkey TO fight Russia.
Egypt owes a loan obtained so re-
Gently as 1897. In John Bulls account
of his expenditure there is 4 heading
Special Services: Egyptian Govern
ment, Grant in Aid" Under this is an
amount of e79S.S02
This is because John lent Egypt
something better than mere money. He
lent her men with brains, who have
made her into healthy, prosperous
country of the sort that pay OFF their
debts in full. Egypt has other debts
than monetary debts to pay off.
