The Output

The output is the keynote
to profit. In deciding upon
u price at which to sell, q
manufacturer, no matter
what article he has to offer,
considers how many be is
likely to sell, and bases his
charges accordingly, 1t is
quite reasonable, too. Ifa
tailor sells only two suits of
clothes each week, his in
come must come from the
profit of these two suits. If
he can, however, double or
trelle bis output without
materially increasing his
working expenses, be can
naturally afford to make the
profit ON each suit much less
Again, this output decides
the buying power. 1t is
only necessary to state that
there have been manufactur-
ed and sold over

any must be. The small
manufacturer who turns out
only a few pianos each

to pay more for the material

When you consider these
facts and put this truth
along side OF them, that
there are only three compan-
lies in the United States who
have made and sold as many
pianos as ourselves-that
We haven't a competitor

KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS:
That we, the undersigned WHOSE names are
heTeunto subscribed and affixed, do hereby
associated ourselves together Tor the purpose
of forming corpo ration under the laws of the
Territory of Arizona, aud to that end do make
the following statement:
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1904-12-08

The president deprecates criticism Of
the administration Philippine policy.
saying: There is need of q vigiiant
and disinterested support of our public
servants in the philippines by good
citizens ierr in the United States. Un-
fortunately hitherto those of our peo-
pie here at home who have specially
claimed to be the champions of the
Filipinos have in reality been their
worst enemies. This will continue to
be the case as long as they strive to
make the Filipinos Independent. and
stop all Industrial development of the
island by crying or against the laws
which would bring it on the ground
that capitalists must not exploit the
islands, Such proceedings are not only
unwise, but are most harmful to the
Filipinos, who do not need indepen-
dence at all, but who do need good
laws, good public servants, and the
industrial development that can only
come If the investment of American
and foreign capital in The islands is
favored in all legitimate ways
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1904-12-08

currency question, end that the stand
ing committees on the matter in the
two houses charged with the duty, take
up the matter of our currency and see
whether it is not possible to secure
an agreement in the business world Tor
lettering the system: the committees
should consider the question of the re-
tirement of the greenbacks and the
problem of securing in our currency
such elasticity as is consistent with
safety. Every silver dollar should be
made by law redeemable in gold at the
option Of the holder"
The PHILIPPINES
Referring to the Philippines. the
president says that great progress has
been made in the government of the
islands, and concerning the Filipinos,
he says:
cat present they are utterly incapa-
BILE Of existing in independence at all
or of building up a civilization of their
own. nrr ly believe that we can helm
them to rise higher and higher in the
scale of civilization and of capacity for
self-government, and I most. earnest
ly hope that in the end they will be
able to stand, if not entirely alone, yet
in some such relation to the United
States as Cuba now stands. This Ell
is not yet in sight, and it may be in
definitely postponed if our people are
foolish enough to turn the attention Of
the Filipinos away from the problems
of achieving moral and material pros
perity, of working for a stable, or
derby and just government, and toward
foolish and dangerous .intrigues for a
complete independence for which they
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1904-12-08

are as yet totally unfit.
"On the other hand our people must
keep steadily before their minds the
fact that the justification for our stay
in the Philippines must ultimately rest
chiefly upon the good we are able to
do in the islands.
II do not overlook the fact that in
the development of our interests in the
Pacific ocean and along it's coasts, the
Philippines have played and will ,lay
an important part, and that our inter-
ests have been served In more than
one way by the possession of the is
lands. But our chief reason for con-
tinuing to hold then must be that we
ought In good faith to try to do our
share Of the worlds work, and this
particular piece of work has been i'm
posed upon us by the results of the war
with Spain. The problem presented to
us In the Philippine islands is akin to,
but not exactly like, the problems pre-
sented to the other great civilized pow-
ers which have posse ssions in the
orient"
Referring to the experiment of IN
elective lower house in the Philippine
Legislature to be tried in two years,
the president says: 1T is a good thing
to try the experiment of giving them
a Legislature; but it is far better
thing to give them schools, good roads,
railroads which will enable them to
get their products to market, honest
courts, an honest and efficient con-
stabulary, and all that tends to pro-
duce ord-r, peace, fair dealing as be-
tween man and man. and habits Of
intelligent industry and thrift
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1904-12-08

The drawback on imported raw ma
terials means cheap goods for the
foreigner and the present extortionate
prices for American citizens. That is
what Secretary Shaw is advocating. r.
is probable that is the only kind ct
tariff revision that the people will get.
1t is all taey deserve and when a
man gets what he deserves, there il
no ground for kicking.

ness might be brought under the pur
view of the bureau of corporations o
the department of commerce and Ia
Dor.
The Rebate-Whether the railroad
or shipper is to blame, the rebate mus
be stopped.
City of Washington-Wants to SCI
1t thoroughly cleaned up and made Z
municipal model.
Race Suicide-"If race does not
have plenty of children, or if the emil
dren do not grow up, or If when they
grow up they are unhealthy in body
and stunted or vicious in mind, then
that race is decadent."
Married Women-Very desirable that
they should not work in factories.
Department of Agriculture-Institu
ton with a faculty of 1000 specialists
making research into all sciences OF
production.
Public Playgrounds-Nec in all
large cities to the development of
wholesome citizenship
Whipping Post-Suggests it might
well be established for wife beaters
and perhaps some others.
IrrigatiOn-"The reclamation act has
been found to be remarkably complete
and effective
Forest Reserves-Again urges that
forest service should be put under the
department of agriculture.
Game Preserves-"We owe it to fu-
ture generations to keep alive the no.
BILE and beautiful creatures which by
their presence add such distinctive
character to the American wilderness"
Indians-Would have field assis-
tant to the commissioner of Indian af-
fairs.
Yellowstone Park-Limit should be
extended southwark.
jamestown Tricentennial-He COM
mends the exposition to the favorable
consideration of congr IS. -
Consuls-Salaries should be substi-
tuted for fees.
National Quarantine Law-Most de-
sirable.
Public Printing-Twice as much
stuff printed as there should be.
Currency-Every silver do, ar should
be redeemable in gold at the option of
the holder and the committee should
consider the retirement of. the green
backs.
Immigration-No man of an unwor-
thy type should be admitted.
Observation-Disclosures laws
should be revised, and there should be
the greatest care about the process.
Purity of Ballot-Recommends en-
actment of law against bribery and
corruption in federal elections.
The Laws Delay-"No subject bet
ter warrants the attention Of the
bench and bar throughout the United
States" Easy to enforce law against
poor man. Getting harder to do it /
against the rich man.
Z Alaska-Several things imperatively
needed.
Hawaii-Governor should have pow
er to remove all officials appointed I'M
der him.
Other American Nations-Need not |
fear the United States as long as they
behave themselves, but chronic wrong
doing or impotence might force the
United States, through it's adherence
to the Monroe doctrine, to exercise an
police power.
Navy-Earnestly advises that there
be no halt in upbuilding the navy, and
says eastern war has proved that the
big battleship is the mainstay.
Army-It must be necessarily prac-
Liced
Filipinos-Far better to give them
schools, good roads and railroads than
