THE WEALTH MAKE ICS. Decemkr ', 1 84 Ultima Thais To desire the uttermost limit of good is common to all our race. The mot hods by which wwek it are very variable aud careful analysis shows that we are limited by the measure of our understanding of truth. No man ia ever better than hi belief. He may be worse than his belief, but he will not be better. This being true we have an explanation of all phase of human heart from the greatest glut ton or drunkard to the most elevated philosopher or Christian. This truth up- plies to a nation of people a really an it applies to one person. For this very reason .this age cannot be better than it is so long as tbe money god rules in th faith of men. Material value has been thechief object of pursuit for thousands of years, and in some form is manifested from the valley of Congo to the Mississippi and from pole to pole. Struggling through this abyss of darkness tbe true light has ap peared many times and found advocate among tbe noblest then of our race, Every act of our Heavenly Father, every word and act of Jesus Christ, the truth uttered in our immortal Declaration of Iudependeuce.all call ourattention to the higher plane, the sublime faith that men not material, are the first thing to be Until we overwhelm, and cast out the Idea that capital ia the first thing to be guarded by law, by the judiciary, by the executive ana ine military, weshall make but little progress toward the ultimate we all feel the need of. Our People's party is doing a good work in the right direction, and the right place, aud at the right time. But the prevailing toue of nearly all our reading matter Axes our attention on the material wrongs done, and nuffered too, and wedonotetifncimii iy etnpliasizu the manhood degrading we are harvesting in consequence of our laws, our policy, and our administration in the interest of capital. A few see and some times mention the danger of thatdegrad ed humanity we are raising up as the coming harvest to be gathered. Tlmt gree( is pressing millions into the fields of destitution, want and beggary is true. Alas, how sadly truel lliitthedelmnclunl manhood is the supreme sin of it all. If our soil wns poor as Alpine hills, we should be sufe if we had sixty-five millions of men. Uut sixty-flvemillionsof hunmu beings puts a vastly different face on the matter. This difficulty is strongly in treuched. deeply seated in the ideas of men, and venerable with age. Fortun ately its age is all that makes it vener able. Tbe harvest it has brought forth is bad enough, and ought to tie accepted as answer enough nguiustit. And it will be so accepted just as fast as men can be brought to see and feel that the first con cern of the Creator is men, and all benlthy public sentiment must agree with Him. The corruption attending our elections the beggary of the millions, the slow but sure destruction of the middle class, the decay of manhood which tamely submits to have f 100,000,000 of interest ben ring bonds forced on the country contrary to all law, and ruinous to every interest, ex cept the bankers, is just what we might expect, aud just what we shall continue to get if human rights continue to be trampled under foot at the bloodthirsty altar of the money god. ? Manhood and human rights must arise and take the lead, or a grave awaits the republic in the near future. Our brethren who see this are moving ing in the direction of co-operation. There are many weighty arguments in favor of what they are tiying to do. With all dungerof revolutionary over throw out of the way. and honest und capable men to carry on the work, there need be no failure. But the Christians tailed in Jerusalem, mostly on account of the overthrow of the city, neverthe less there was some internal trouble. Of course national overthrow destroys everything, and may just as well be u community as individual competition. But the material is to be drawn from an element who have lived all their lives in an atmosphere of self interest. hat they can rise above this I fully believe, and much I shall rejoice to Bee it done. That they will rise above all former edu cation and habit is not so certain, und will be revolution in the best and grand est sense of the word if they do it. While these brethren show us the "more excellent way," the rest of us can move on with them in destroying land monopoly, money monopoly, and all other monopolies. We are very sure of being right in these things, and just as sure that it must be done, or "all of free dom will be lost." If other brethren can do more and better work we can all re joice to see it done, and after beiug fully "converted, strengthen our brethen.' It is not necessary to use any ammunition on those who heartily hope by healthy .example to show the best result from "loving our nefghbor as ourselves." There ure enemies enough to contend with to furnish us all we can do. Nor do we de serve to be free if we lack the energy nec essary to maintaining freedom. Such men are only fit for slaves. If we are finally to discover that this nation is made up of creatures who will take no pains and put forth no effort to get their neighbors informed of the danger, und draw them into the company of those who can give us safety, and refuse to spend a dollar to spread our literature to enlighten others, aud tamely submit to all that has taken place si nee the first of last July, then, iudeed, are we the "de generate sons of noble sires." We are tit ror slaves in such a case,and no credit to the fathers who fought for our liberty. . T-lie?0,o(H) votes who stayed with honest John Fowers can give the WtfAiA'it iUK Ens 30,01)0 subscribers if they will it so With 30,000 subscribers Nebraskaisours in 1895. "It isnotiu our stars, but in ourselves that we are underlines." Every man ought to be a "giant tilled with new wine," that is.the wine of truth. tbe ultima thule of mauhood. But I am not without hope. I am not pessimistic Our awful struggle with the slave power was much after the same fashion of what , we are having now. Delay then brought war, and that is the danger to be dreaded now. Plenty of votes and quick work would save us now without any war, Tbe laggards are paying a premium for a tight. J. M.

Mits. J. T. Kkllie, Sec'y.Neb. P. A. & I. U. Another Believer In Co-operation. Editor Wealtb Makkbb: You wili'doubtless discover that I am not accustomed to write an article for publ cation, but I am interested in your proposed "Christian colony." I have been in communication with some of the leading students of this question forsome y. ars, utnong which 1 might mention Rev. W. D. P. Bliss of Boston, editor of the Dawn who has visited most of the communistic societies of this country. And when he visited me some two years ago he gave it as his opinion, that there could be no successful colony organiza tion except upon Christian principles. I have also the evidence of other care ful students of this subject who substan tially corroborate the testimony given above. I also append some extracts from the writings of the author of "Arius the Ly bian," describing the customs aud usages of the early church, which may be of some benefit to those interested in the colony movement. He says: " "The only relations these communities that is, the Christians) sustained to the government was to pay the taxes de- iihiiuleil 01 tnem. ineynau nu tuumu as to who might be emperor, except so far as these rulers might be disposed to persecute them. They paid taxes to avoid giving off nee, even as Jesus Him self had done. They never naa recourse to any temporal penalties to enforce the aw ot Christian uroinernoou; miuwiuk that no one was a Christian, who nan to be controlled by force. They had been taught, that the essential difference between the kingdom ol heaven ami every other kingdom established upon the earth consisted in tnis iaci, viz., human governments recognize private property righte in estates, rank, offices, etc., while Jesus denounced all such pri vate rights as mammon worsnip ami an statutes enacted to enforce them as lies of the Scribes and Pharisees; and never fixed and uever authorized his disciples to tlx any temporal penalties whatever. They realized the inevitable result of such system to ! the creation ot a rulinir class at the top of pvery political fabric, to whom nil its benefits inure, and an oppressed or en slaved people at the bottom upon whose weary Bhoulders rest all tne ouiuens ana waste of life; and between these extremes eeelesiastieism and an army (always on the side of the ruling clnsses and against the multitude) seeking to adjust their mutual legal rights by the agency of bavonets. Hence the Christians who called nothing they possessed their own, reuariUd themselves ouly as stewards ol the L v i's noods held by them for the coiiin...i .xood ol all. Believers had no use for the Roman government, or any other earthly princi pality. lhey were citizens of a kiugdom not oi this world, the very foundation stone of which was liberty, equality and Iraternity They had also been taught that all class distinctions among men sustained by force of law did not exist in the nature of things, by the will of God. Teaching their children to despise all the false distinctions 'after which the Gentiles seek,' teaching tht'm to love all men, especially the brethren, and that He that would be greatest should be the servant of all." New, can there be a colouy organized upon Borne practical plan to include these principles? With such modifica tions of course as would satisfy our changed conditions, now it does seem to me that every Christian in the land miirlit unite upon such a platform; but experience teaches me that they will not, There are too many of the race of the Pharisees alive to do so, But at the same time we might be able to enlist a Gideon's band whose knees have not bent to Baal (mammon), aud begin the movement where it left off in the fourth century.

Case Broderick says the first bills he will introduce will be to put a tax of $10 on every head of cattle brought into this country. Heavy importations of cat tle from Mexico under the new tariff has shown the stock raisers of the Southwest that this tax is necessary for their protection. A Preacher Turns Horsethlef. Springfifld, Mo., Dec. A. The Rev. John Denny, a local preacher of some notoriety, pleaded guilty to horse stealing yesterday and was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary.
