tic command our earnest and immediate
attention.
1t has taken twelve years for these
great firms to see the Importance OF
the railroad question that was SC
plainly understood by populists in
1892. Perhaps in twelve years more
they will also see that the only solu-
ton OF the question is the one pro-
posed by the delegates to the Omaha
convention.
From this time on that question is
going to press for settlement more
persistently as the days go by.
Plutocratic papers, seeing 1.-The
shadows that coming events cast be-
fore, are beginning to hedge. There
are statements now admitted to their
columns that were formerly denounced
with all the fiendishness that hatred
and contempt could inspire.
The populist goal is nearer than men
think.

Generally Prosperous"

Even the acutest intellccts are at a
loss to present even plausible argu-
ment in favor of present conditions.
The Boston Post says:
The general condition of our country
Is prosperous, but individual needs are
pressing and most difficult to meet.
Earnings have not kept pace with the
cost of living.
Note the sophistry of those words:
"the general condition is prosperous. y
The general condition must refer to
the trusts, railroad corporations. the
tariff grafters and the WALL street
banks. They represent Nlt a small
portion of the population Of the United
States. They are prosperous. No one

Near,ns The Goal

On July 4th, 1892, more than twelve
years ago, the representatives OF the
peoples party assembled at Omaha,
said: 1--WE believe the time will come
when the railroad corporations will
either own the people or the people
must own the railroads. Transports
tion being the means of exchange and
public necessity, the government
should own and operate the railroads
in the interest of the people"
The other day, more than twelve
years after that declaration, there was
q great meeting at Chicago and rep
resentatives of the Shippers associa-
ton, representative of Marshall Field
& Co., Sprague, Warner & Co., the w.
Nv. Kimball & Co., and iIlbrard. Spen-
Ger, Bartlett & Co., declared that, the

Populism Spreads

Populism is spreading like a prairie
nre these days. It's principles are being
defended and advocated in all sorts
OF publications-in the plntocratic daily
newspapers and magazines and every
where. The money interest went to
great expense few years ago to de-
st reg ppeppnalisstt newspapers They were
especially successful in regard to the
agricultural press which twelve years
ago was almost universally advocating
the reforms demanded by the peoples
party. For years all that sort of pa
pers have been silent. Now when they
see that conditions in the United States
are forcing the adoption of populiSt
principles, they begin to talk popuIism
again. Last week the following was
found in WaIlaces Farmer, one of the
farm papers that would not heretofore
mention populist demand.

roads and bridges, telegraph, telephone,
cabs, street cars, water, lights, and 9th
er public utilities were all private, but
now are largely managed or controlled
by government authority The rail-
road can no longer be considered as
private property. 1t is public road

ness with which Hill fought the amend
ment to make the banks pay interest
On the more than $100,000,000 of gov
eminent money that has Leen deposited
with them. In commenting on Hills
opposition to that amendment the
Springfield Republican says:
Former Secretary Gage. himself a
practical banker. favored the plan OF
imposing charge of say 2 per cent for
the use of government money by ma
tional banks. and why should Mr. Hill
object? Populists and that class of
people will think all the more strongly
that his currency reform measures are,
as they have been charging, rather for
the larger profit of banking thar for
the benefit Of the people.

A Word to Contributors
~S~~

The number OF contributors to The
Independent during the last six weeks
has been SO enormous that it has al
most swamped the editor. 1t seemed
as if half the people IN the United
States wanted to write a communities
ton for publication in this paper. The
editor has read every one of them
with the exception of a hundred or SO
that have accumulated during the holt
day week when he took three days off
and got behind. Even those will be
read as soon as possible. There is not
a periodical in the United States that
gets half the articles for publication
that are sent to the Nebraska indie
pendent. There are enough unpub-
lished letters that have been received
during the last six weeks, lying on
the desk devoted to their reception to
fill every page of The Independent for
three months to come and probably
longer.
The editor may have exercised poor
Judgment in the selections he has
made from this vast mass of corre-
spondence, but he did the best he could
and some of the letters left over will
doubtless find place in future issues.
Nearly every man who sent vote on
the referendum, sent letter for pub
LEGATION. That is because every sub
scriber to this paper always feels free
to write a letter to the editor when
ever he has anything to say on any
subject, and writes with the greatest
freedom. 1t has often been remarked
that readers of The Independent write
q letter to it just as they would write
a letter home if they were away, and
thought of something that they wanted
to say. The letters that are not pub
lis1ed are not by any means, written
in vain. So send them along.

A Bankers Bill

The Hill bill of which the papers
speak so meekly as an inoffensive adj
ministration measure, is simply bank
ers bill to increase the bankers profit
at the expense of the people. There
are possibilities in it of as big "bo-
muses." as ever Mrs. Chadwick offered
the bankers with whom she dealt. That
