The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1904-11-17

Gently asked the people to endorse in
behalf of Judge Parker he takes a po-
sition which is that of Bryan the in
dividual and which can not bind any
other democrat whatever. For four
years the democratic party has got to
stand by the action of the st. Louis
convention whether they wish to do so
or not. What they did there is official
and binding. Mr.. Bryan himself gave
it his sanction Again Mr.. Bryan has
no substantial reason for believing
that he can ever get the national de-
mocratic party to adopt the populist
program which he has just formulated.
The democratic party never did do it
and the presumption is that 1t never
will. The plutocratic element has just
as much power within the party now
as it had when the st. Louis conven-
tion met. Indeed. it has more. 1t has
all the machinery now which the Bry-
an men then had. it has the same con-
troll of the newspapers which 1t then
had; therefore it is as certain as any
thing can be that they will be able
to again defeat Mr.. Bryan in the ma
tional convention when he comes be-
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1904-11-17

! fore it with his populist platform. Sup,
pose, however, that he should be vic.
torious over them in the national con.
vention-can they not knife him ius,
fas successfully as they did in 1896? Il
1t not apso7atesx certain that they arc
just as lnuch joined to Tic FsJssnou V
as they were then? Will they not be
as desperate and as unscrupuIouS in
knitting their own ticket As they were
in 1896? Every argument based upon
human nature says that they will.
Then even if Mr.. Bryan should win
the nomination on lis populist plat
form in 1903, the p,utocratic element
in his own party will bar his progress
and compass his defeat just as they
did before.
Again, suppose that the plutocratic
element should triumph over Mr.. Bry-
an in 1908 as they did in 1904, then
what? Mr.. Bryan will have to submit
just as he did submit in 1904-after
having declared publicly and positively
that he would never support a gold
standard nominee of the democratic
party. Mr.. Bryan could not bolt in
1903. The time to have done that was
1904. That opportunity will never re-
turn. He | 1self has set the example
OF submitting to what was wrong. be-
cause, although it was wrong, it was
regular.
In short the democratic party has
this hopeless situation. The Bryanites
can not drive out the plutocratic Gle
ment; the Iiutocratic element can not
drive out Mr.. Bryan. They exhaust
their strength with internal struggles
leaving the party where its enemies
c;1 always defeat it at the polls. TIL re
is this further weakness in the pro-
gram of Mr.. Bryan. The plutocratic
element has shown that it can safely
defy him and combat him although he
is the nominee, whereas he submits to
them when they put up a plutocratic

OUTSIDE SECURITIES.

There was little disposition to do business In out
side securities. Trading confined small
number of shares. while changes showed but slight
variation from the final closing of Friday. Only
two issues showed any activity to COM
mand attention. Northern Securities was weak;
on fair volume of offerings fell per cent. Sea-

STOCK MARKET OPERATIONS.

The Dealings IN the stock market yesterday
were small in volume and entirely professional

crop outlook. and the impending lockout IN the

was American Cotton Oil. which made net

FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONDITIONS
c. Schumacher & Co. say.

The exchange market opened at last weeks clos
ing prices and declined about thirty points, but
upon sudden urgent demand. evidently the short
interest still outstanding. and also to cover matUr
ing obligations abroad the market became very
strong advancing to the highest point. 4SSG, far
this season.
Th-s engagement Of s., 100000 to go by next Tues
days steamer clearly indicates that obligations
abroad have been larger than was generally be-
ieved There is certainly profit in shipping gold
at present rates for exchange, and it is only done
at the moment account of the market being
bare Of bills and bankers would find it impossible
TO procure any amount without a further advance

Nota del dfa


te resignation los psrtidarios
de la inverosimil doctrina de
que los Estados Unidos no estan
en- ell deber de curarnos de
nuestra crisis. ha habido un Sc
nador norteamericano, ell senor
Hill de Mississippi, que presento
al Congreso un proyecto de ley
para que, ell Tesoro de Washing
ton, facilite a esta Isla sin inte-
res de ninguna clase veinte mi
llones de dollars. en- calidad de
emprestito para aumentar la
circulation monetaria en- Puer-
to Rico.
Ell senador que ha concebido
este proyecto, no saba de segu-
TO que la escasez de moneda
circuIante no es mas que uno
de Jos efectos de una causa mas
honda, de una crisis economical
total, de alcances extraordina-
rios. La invasion norteameri-
cana despues de perturbar hon
damente nueStra vida econ0mi-
ca, nos quito los mercados de
nuestro cafe Y arruino Ia isla.
Veinte millones para aumentar
la circulation monetaria, Sc
aproximan en- efecto, a la canti-
dad de numerario indispensable
actualmente para realizar al
contado las transaccioues que
antes, por virtud de nuestra
exuberante vida economical, Sc
realizaban por medic del credito.
Es lastima que ell Senador
Hill no explique con mas de-
TALES los motives que abonan
su proyecto. porque bueno seria
que en- ei Congreso de los Es
tados Unidos, va que ell conf
sionado de Puerto Rico no pue-
de desplegar los labios por aque-
Has alturas; bueno habfa de ser
que Sc oyese en- ell temple de
las leyes del pals de la opulen-
cia, una voz que mostrara a to-
dos los representatives de los
Estados de fla Union, cual es
nuestra situacion presente y de
que manera estamos viviendo en-
Puerto Rico. .por consecuencia
del cambio de soberan1a.
Esos veinte millones, no solo
vendr1au a llenar la necesidad
que siente ell pals del restable-
cimiento de su norma1idad mer-
cantil, sino que, indudablemen-
te podrian detener la obra demo-
fedora del pernicioso sistema po-
lftico y economico que Sc nos
tlene sometidos; vendrian a SER
vir de barrera de orc entire la
propiedad puertorriquefia y las
zarpadas de uD fsco que opera
bravamente como en- tiempos de
mayor prosperidad, y evitarfa
que nuestros campos y nuestros
pueblos Sc queden solos, porque
ell exodo los despueble y el ham
bre los convierta en- verdaderos
suplicios.
NADIA de este sabe ell ilustre
senador que ha concebido ell
proyecto; porque hubiese agre-
gado a la necesidad de aumen-
tar la moneda en- circulation,
seiial evidente de ruina, cuando
la cantidad es poca. el argumen-
to poderoso de la alta tension
de nuestra crisis que no Sc de-
termina solo por las molestias y
Ell desequilibrio mercantil que
acasiona la falta de dinero sino
ell desquiciamiento complete de
la Tiqueza pdblica y la ruina y
depreciation de la privada, la
cual, como signo infalible de
los tiempos, no tiene brecSO en-
el mercado y mucho menos pre-
clio corriente, nj aproximado si-
quiera al estado critico por que
atraviesa eI pals, y no hay mas
norma hi mas ley en- las tran
