They destroyed the union labor, green
back and populist parties under false
promises 1t is time for honest men to
all quit both old machines and come to
the rescue of the american govern
ment. If Bryan and his cohorts are
honest they will endorse Watson and
Tibbles as soon as we nominate them.
Turn about is not only fair play; but
it is test of unselfish patriotism,
honesty and integrity of purpose.
The returns show Watson has polled
one million votes. Let every true re-
former line up for the conflict of 1908.

Line up for the Conflict

Editor Independent: No hope
through the old democratic machine:
The only cause for more than one ma
tional political party is difference Of
principle. 1t follows as an automatic
truth, that where no difference of prin-
ciple exists, no difference of party
organization can be had, there being
no cause for such institution The
democratic party has become a part of
the same capitalistic combine as the
republican party. They both believe
in the present financial system-which
includes money, transportation, land,
labor and man-hence no material dis
tinction can be made Both parties so
near approach to the same political
system that they become one and the
same thing in effect. The democratic
machine took enough of populism in
1896 to bring it to life. 1t took enough
of republicanism in 1904 to kill it. 1t
has tried both silver and gold, and
Imperialism as issues and failed. De-
mocracy under Bryan is nothing; under
Parker, Belmont, Cleveland & Co. it
means republicanism, pure and simple.
From all this it is clear that the peo-
pies party and socialist parties only
have any longer an excuse for living.
The American people must now take
choice between Jeffersonian democracy
as taught by Tom Watson, or the re-
publicanism of Roosevelt-which shall
it be?
To true reformers only one course
is open. Renominate Tom. Watson and
Tom Tibbles in January, 1905. Place
them on a .effersoni 1 platform such
as that adopted at Omaha or Spring.
field. Let fusion alone. The populists
sacrificed their organization once for
Bryan and he repudiated Watson as
his running mate. The leadership of
democracy care for nothing but Office.

Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New
York, Minnesota, North Dakota, Mon
tana, Idaho, and Washington would
find themselves obliged to enter into
treaties with Canada over the through
| freight rates across the boundary line.
The sovereignty of the British colony
woGld at last overwhelm the constitu-
tional provision lnat no state shall en-
ter into treaty relations with foreign
powers.
But if the fixing of rates would fur
nish strenuous occupation to the state
railroad commissions, the outlining
and undertaking of new construction
would demand the extension of human
life to three or four times its present
length.
Suppose that the state of Kentucky
discovered that it reeded better rail-
road connections between its town OF
Lexington and the Minnesota town Of
st. Paul. The first thing to do would
be to persuade the railroad commission
of Minnesota. The next thing to do
would be to persuade the railroad COM
mission of Wisconsin. The next. thing
to do would be to persuade the rail-
road commission of Illinois. If it
should appear after long deliberation
that new trunk line was needed. the
route of that line would have to be
determined. Each state would be actu-
ated by the interests of the towns with
in it's borders. Wisconsin, for instance,
would think that there was no reason
why Minnesota goods should go down
to lexington uiasls ses~cn. to the gulf,
when they could better go to MilusfaS
kee, and Sd by lake to the Atlantic.
Minnesota itself, on the other hand,
would set national estimate on the
proper development of Duluth. Illinois
would be concerned for Chicago and
Peoria II tho trunk line from Mime
sofa to Lexington was ever constructed
it would include in it's winding, devious
route the special local interests and the
favorlte towns of all the states through
which it passed.
In other words, the construction of
railroads, like their management, is
not matter for local, provincial,
short-sighted state control. To give
the states tie transportation of freight
and of passengers would be as absurd
as to give them the transportation of
the mails. Wo would want to see for
ty-five Independent pOstoffice depart
ments in the United States?
If this is Bryan's idea of progress
he ought to leave radical American
politics for radical Russian philosophy,
where he could agree with Tolstoi that
cities and factories are great mis-
take, and that every man ought to go
back to the country and work farm.

State Ownership of Railroads
Jersey City. N. J.

Bryan wants the states to own md
operate he railroads. He would like
to see goods transported from New
York to San Francisco via the rail-
road systems of New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa,
Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, Nevada and
California. This seems to him to be
progress.
1t was because the5 could be run
more cheaply and efficiently when COM
bined thet little local railroad COM
panies have coalesced into big national
systems. When he proposes that rail-
road systems be split up again, Bryan
is setting himself against the economic
tendencies of the age, against which he
has exactly as much chance as King
Canute had against the tides. Legal
fiat can not long or successfully resist
natural f rces.
Under Bryan's program each state
would have it's own policy with regard
to railroad dividends. Some states
would believe in making the railroads
pay. Then they could apply the pro-
ceeds to the reduction If taxes. Others
would believe in reducing freight and
passenger rates to the point where
there would be no dividends at all.
Between New York AID San Fran
cisco there are 'leven states. There
fore there would be eleven different
railroad policies. Therefore there
would be eleven different sets of en-

Butter, Cheese and Eggs.

The hot wave is playing havoc with Butter.
The fanciest creameries which ordinarily bring
extreme top prices, coming in soft and out
of shape. and in this respect at least are no
better then much inferior brands. Quotations
are consequently difficult to give and the only
thing TO be said in this connection is that if
Butter is hard ahd firm it viii bring the quo
tations below, and If II is soft and out of shape
it will not. In other words. precious little
Butter is bringing the quotations The market
is none too firm at best, receipts are heavy
and the demand slow.
There is nothing new in the Cheese situation.
The feature OF the Egg market now is the
increasing weakness in store descriptions. This
hot weather will probably make a wider gap
between them and ranch hereafter They have
had remarkable run thus far this season, and
many times have brought about much as
the best ranch. but this condition is about
over. Hot weather is death on a store Egg.
Ranch Eggs still quoted steady and there
is no disposition on tie part Of dealers to sell
them any lower at present

were about 1900 bags offering that came in

on Saturday rapidly cleaning up and the
best lots were easily disposed of at an advance.
An easier feeling prevailed in Onions, and both
Australian ana Oregon were quoted lower.
Receipts of Asparagus were over 1900 boxes
and, as a large portion was in bad condition
owing to the hot weather, the market was weak
and prices were lower and irregular. Good,
sound stock was firm and commanded a pre-
MUM during the early trade. and in some in
stances choice offerings of No. i and No.

were offered freely at prices ranging from Zoe
