The constitution has become as much
a piece of waste paper as the Declar-
alton of independence. Whenever the
great aggregations of capital desire to
trample the constitution under their
feet, they do it and not daily paper

Section 81 of article l., of the con-
stitution of the United States is as
follows:
mo money shall be drawn from the
treasury but in consequence of appro-
priations made by law"
According to all the rulings of the
treasury department, the $40,O00,OO0 of
internal revenue receipts which Secre-
tary Shaw announced he would de-
post in the national banks were in
the treasury and he drew that amount
out of the treasury without an appro-
priation, in direct violation Of the con-
stitution and should be impeached for
the criminal act. But he will not be
impeached. There will be no demand
made for his impeachment. Not one

Nearly everybody knows that char

Charcoal sweetens the breath after

onions and nthor odorOus vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and inn

teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; 1t
disinfects the routh and throat from

ALL BECOME POPULIsTs

The fiat jewellers in Chicago have
increased 100000 in ten years. The
cause of this as stated by the fiat
jewellers themselves is that 'sit is
cheaper to live in flats than in a
house." These fiat dwellers are the
average people. They and others in
like financial circumstances make up
the large majority of that city. The
average man, the ones who do not
belong to the trust and banker class,
make up very large majority of the
whole United States. The census tells
us that there are 30,000,OO0 persons en-
gagged in gainful occupations OF these
$500, 900 are engaged in farming. Of
capitalists, big and little, there are not
more than 100000 These 100000 so
manage politics that they squeeze ev-
erything except living out of the
great majority. The average man has
no political party to represent him. He
has no influential senators working for
his interests at the capital. When the
trusts raise prices he pays the bills.
| When the labor unions raise wages he
paws the bills. When the railroads
raise rates he p: S the bills again. If
these men had any political sense they
would all unite with the peoples party
4 which is the only party that repre-
i sents their interests. The economic
conditions indicate that they should
all become populists.

CONDEMNED TO SILENCE

The very large number OF able con-
tributors to The Independent, every
state in the Union being represented
among them, results from the fact
that plutocracy has practically cap
tured the whole press of the United
States, and articles OF the nature sent
to The Independent are refused publi-
cation by the press in the states in.

dent only wishes that it had a sufic-
lent circulation to warrant the pub
LEGATION of thirty-tWo-page paper SO
that all these intelligent and self-sac-
rificing men could have hearing by
the voters of the United States. There
is perhaps no other paper in this
country that has SO many correspon-
dents, or correspondence so nearly
covering all the states in the Union as
the Nebraska Independent. Perhaps
after a while we may work up to
100000 b. the aid of the readers of the
paper and then more of them can be
heard. The fact is that thousands of
the best, most learned and patriotic
men in this nation are condemned to

suit of the capture of the press by
plutocracy The effect is exactly the
same as the autocratic suppression OF

It seems to The Independent very

H. w. Noren OF Pittsburg, Pa, one
of The independents single tax
friends, sends us clipping from the
Cleveland Plain Dealer of Septem Der
81. containing an abstract of a finan-
cial bill prepared by Clarence V. Tiers,
paying teller of the Dollar Savings
bank of Pittsburg, asking The lnde-
pendent's opinion. That is easily CIV
en-: The Independent is opposed to
farming out in any manner to private
persons the power to issue legal tender
notes of any sort. Mr.. Tiers bill has
certainly some good features, II we
admit the right of congress to delegate
the power TO coin money and regulate
the value thereof" But The Indepen-
dent by no means admits such right
and therefore, is opposed to Mr.. Tiers,
bill or any other of similar import.
