A. urand rally of republicans of Polk and
York counties was hold at Slromsburg last
Wednesday , fbo principal speaker was
Mr. Edward Hosowator , whoso remarks
\voro substantially as follows :
1 nppoarbnforo you tod'\y not morolv as a
roproscntatlvo ofono of the great parlies of
the country , but as iu > Amor Iran citixon.
There I * not a man within the hearing of tny

or Independent , whaluvor mav bo his orood. ,
In whatever cllrao ho raiy mvo boon born or

can uitlzon. There Is not n man within mv
hearing Mho Is not proud of thu fact that
the llaif of the union protects nnd defend
every rnun on land or sea who Is n cillzun of
the great American republic.
Next to our prldo as Auiurlcin citizens , wo
oucht to take pride In balng oitlzon s of tills
stuto. Nebraska is ono of the most fertile
nnd prolific states within this great Am orl-
can union. Many of v oil have lived in W o-
brnsiin from llvo to tvvcnty , or perhaps , oven
thirty year * , out few realize the magnitude
of this stnlo , Itn proilucltvo capanitlos , Its
nurvolous resources nnd tbo great future
which lies before It.

Lot mn call your attention to n fmv salient
facts rccHrdltiB Nebraska. Within the
boundaries of this stnto there nro 43,733,100
acres , of which 14,500,000 are nnpioved ami
: I4.00U,000 still remain unlmprovod. Cloven of
the JH.OOO.OOOacres of unimproved land belong
to tbo public domnln and nro still accessible
to the homeless thousands ulio dcsiro to
nvnil thouiBolvra of the bountloj of the
nation. At $18 per acre , which Is
a very low estimate , tbo vnluo of
the land under cultivation in Nebraska
Is 201,000,000 , and the unimproved lund ,
valued At only SJ per acre , would bo $13,610-
800. In other uouls thu farm pioperty of
Nebraska Isorth at the lowest csllmnto
f3 > o,5i0.bOO. Add to this $1.10,000.000 for the
Improved propoity in the various cities
throughout the state nnd the real estate
values will iiL'KiOKalu $4,70'ilti.SOO. The poi-
sonnl property , including cattle on the farm
nud the products of the mill nnd factory , nro
estimated : it the lowest valuation at MM- )
000,000. ' 1 hero ore over KO.OUO.OOl ) on deposit
today in the banks in the state of Nebraska ;
or very neailv f50 per capita for every man ,
\\omnti anil child , so that the total real and
personal uropeity valuation of Nebriisinx
will foot up flObSlHibOi ) . This shows thut
we have over $1,000 worth of leal
nnd personal properly In Nebraska for
ovcrv man , woman and child in the stale.
Against this wo have a state , county and
city debt computed at $5 IS per capita This
Is a more trlllo as compared with thn debts
of other states. The territory of Arlronu
owes $40.yi per caplln ; the state of Nevada
$ . > 889VjomliiR ; , $2,1.12 : Noith Dakota
fl ) . 1(5 ( 'I bo privnto debt , at the very highest
animate , will not exceed JTiO per capita ,
which would leave about I'JI1 ; per capita us
the notunl uonlih or the porplo of Nebraska.
This does not represent the vast invest
ments in railroads. In iblX ) there was not n
single mile of railroad in tlirf stntn ; in 1S70
wo had only 701 mlles ; in IbbO , 1.U5.I miles ;
In 1885 , 3,1)1/1 ) miles , and lodnv wo tiavo 5,430
mllos. At0,000 per mile , which is about the
average cost in a prnlrio state , tlio
valuation of the railroads in Nebraska Is
8108,000,000. The prowtb of our railway
ystem Is a fair index of the marvelous de
velopment of our state
But every citizen of Nebraska has other
reasons for state pride apart from tbo mere
Increase of wealtb. Ho can justly take pride
In our educational Institutions. Wo bavo In
this slate 23'.l,5rj(5 ( public school children , \vith
10,515 teachers. The vnluo of our school
houses Is computed jit M.liT--bU and

tainly Is a very crealtublo showing.

On tbo other hand , Nebraska can make
favorable comparison with older and
wealthier states ai regards the propoilion of
her destitute and criminal population. Ac
cording to the last census Nuhiaskabas
only 201 persons In her almsbousos , whlln
the state'of Iowa , with less than double the
population , has 1,021 , nnd Kansas , uitH only
5J5 per cent morn population , as iiOT inmates
in nlmshouscs. The solo ot Maine , with a
population of 001,000 , uas lldl Inmates in
her almshousoH , nnd Connecticut , with n
population of 740,000 , has 1,41'i Inmates ;
California , with a population of 1,200,000.
has 2,000 Inmalos.
According to the census of 1890 Nebraska
had onlv218 Inmates In her county Jails ,
whllo loua had 505 ; Kansas , 482 ; Malm10J ! ;
California , fib3. The unmoor of Inmates in
the NobrusKa penitentiary In 1SOO was ! 11H ;
In Kansas , 'JIB ; Connecticut , l-ir ! > : Califor
nia , 2,051 ; Colorado , 520 , nnd Missouri , 1,701.
Nobody In this audience will experience
greater surprise than I did when I recently
made n computation of the value of the pro
ducts of Nebraska for Iho vear Ib'Jl
In 1801 thu farmers of Nebraska raised
07,053,000 bushels of com , whic.h , at27u3iits

Now , let mo call your attention to onotbei
Nebraska industry that will soon ussuun

which the culture of suijar bouts nnd boo

on u large scale. In 18'Jl thoru was eve
4,700 urrcs of ( and under cultivation in thl

Last roar when 1 traveled throueh Auittrln
and Uormany I atv millions of acres'ot
land under cultivation for sugar beets. Un
both sides of the railroad * the sugar boot
fields extended Just as tarns the cornfields
do lu this AtAte. In Bohemia alone there
nro over 200 boot sugar refineries. Why
should hot Nebraska have twenty or thtrtv
such sugar rcllncrios , or mills , nnd Uvo or
thrco million acres of land planted in
sugnr boots I In 1SS9 the logishlluto
of this state voted n bonus ot 1 conl n pound
on sugar refined In our mills. Now , it so
happened thut some of tbo parties on gaped
In sugar hoot culture near I ! rand Island \\cro
dissatisfied with the result. They had
struck a year of drouth and were not familiar
with the method of sugar boot railing. Then
they raised n howl against Oxnard , and the
farmers ullianco convention , nt the Instance
of mv friend , General Van U'yok , pissed n
resolution pledging members of the legisla
ture elected by iho Independents to repeal
the sugar bounty law nnd they did repeat It.
It wns nn nol of bad fallh damaging to iho
state's credit and n chccK to her prosperity.
This year the platform of the people's parly
has the following plank : "Wo are opposed
to the restoration of the sugar bounty In any
form bv tno state of Nebraska. " This nlso ,
I nm to'ld , xvas inserted nt the Instance of
General Van Wyck , who Is opposed lo all
bounties on principle , bul I am told cheer-
fullv cnvo n bounty to the rail-
rend that built a depot near his
farm. Uofoio the suirnr bounty wns ro-
ponied by tlio last legislature tno proposition
wan inn lie that Ibo bonus should ho paid lo
Iho farmers who raised sugar beols nccoid-
Ing to weight delivered at tbo refinery. ' 1 hat
would bnvu given tbo farmers the bonollt In

silioti was rejected. And yet o\eiy nation

The republican pariy , which gave tbo poopl
of Iho United States Ihu tioinostoad lav
moro than tblriy v ars nto , has repealed nl
athu laus that enabled spi'tuiutor * to not hoi
of public lands. They have repealed the i
pro-omptlon laws and materially modified I
the trco culture Uw. (
I take It that the demand Tor the forfeiture <
ot railroad land grunts was Intended lo In
clude nil the subsldv lands forfoltod by the
railroads that have failed to comply with the
requirements of their charters. Such n law
has nlroadv been put on the statute boo'ft by
the Fifty-first congress , which wns republi
can in bolh branches. i
The act for the forfeiture of Intid grants
roads ns follows : k
"Ssctlon 1 Thai there Is horobv forfeited
to the United States , nnd the United Stales
horobv resumes the title thereto , all lands
heretofore granted to any stula or to nnv

This disposes of iho forfeited railroad land

Tbo proposition to divide tbo land nmong
ull iho people Is like Ihu single tax proposi

that all taxes Bhould bo levied upon land

'IIiu I.llo Iliooil ol Commerce.
Wo all ngroo that money is the Hfo blood
of commerce , and wo all 4gieo tnnl 11 would
bo a uood thing to have nn ubundanco of
goou monoj. but wo do not all agrco as to
what constitutes motioj' , nnd In tbu next
plate , what good money is. The functions
of money nro two-fold. It Is a tncasuro of
value and at. the snmo tune must bo n species
of wealth. You all will admit that wealth Is
not the cionturo of law , but is > the pioducl
of labor. No law call pioduco woalth.
Evcty dollat's worth of wealth on this glebe
bin been produced by labor. Wealth is the
unused surplus of the earnings ot labor. It
is stored energy , convertible lute labor.
Money Is simply crvstali/od weallh so ai-
vldud as lo readily perform tbo function ra-
quircd in exchanges of ono commodity for
another. In other words , money Is a coiu-
mouily used us n medium of exchange.
In colonial days 'coon skins , lobacco nnd
hides were used as mediums of exchange at
llxod values ami performed iho functions of
monoy. I'hoy were the ptoduct of labor and
when , for instance , a man exchanged live
pounds of lobacco for twenty pounds of Hour
or Hfty pounds of mqat , the tobacco was to
all intents and ourposca.tbo sanio as if it had
ooen monoy. Gold and , silver have Jo- cen
turies poiformed tbo functions of money because -
cause they are commodllles lhat icyuiro a
given amount of labor to produce Ihom and
because , moreover , they arc portable and
readily divisible. When fashioned inlo coin
Ihoy become a convenient medium of ex
change , but iho gold or silver cola does not
derive Us vtiluo fiom Iho stamp upon its
face , but oocuuso It takes a curtain amount
of labor to dig it out ot Ihe earth und refine
it. A ploco of gold without any stamp what
ever will exchange for another coiranoJity of
the bair.o value in any civilized country as
the same piece with the imprint of the mint
on Us lace. *
When inls government was ortranjiod con
gress was given power to cbin. money nnd
declare tbu value thereof , nnd gold and silver
were decreed to bo the mediums of nionoy
with uhich our people were ' , o ranko their
exchanges. Mind you , U was coining money
und declaring the value thereof. Whit wns
tuo object of coinage ? To rortity to the
wcluht nnd llnonesi ) of the metal coulalnod
In thu coin.
1'iisn Onirunt for .Money.
Wo have , as you know , other metals that
pass current for monov. Wo coin pennies
out of copper and live-cent pieces out of
nicklo. Nobody has > ot proposed to the
government of the United States lhat tbo
owners of 100 pounds of copper or nicklo
shall enjoy iho privilege of having it minted
ut the treasury at the expense of thu govern
ment and with the rlcbl lo circulate the
sumo The power lo uo this was roserveu lo
tbo government alone , because in coining
these baser metals as tolcon-monoy the gov-
ornmeutassumod IheobllgaUon within curtain
limits to exchange the sumo for real monoy.

When wo woio campaigning in Nobiaskn

A great wave of instantaneous prosperity
seamed to rush over Franco. Tbo national

Franco men poured Into Paris to speculate.

wns foi bidden to convert the notes lute gold

decreed that coin should bo used only lu

There remained nn Immense load of ilobt

In 1341 passed n bankrupt law. The oper
ation of thu Inw relieved tt'.i.OOO ' persons from
debts to tbo amount of $111,000,000. The
disasters Involved the failure of soversl
states ultb an ngcirgato debt of IOO,03l > , OuU.
The banks that were liquidated had nn aggre
gate capital of MOvMHXt.OOO. Thus the record
of losses within n vorv brief period tiggro-
gated ? 741,000OOU. The debts lhat were sot-
lied without the Intervention of the law were
supposed to bo equal to these legally dis
charged , but nobody over will know Just
how much of prlvato debt wns repudiated.
After the collapse of the banks millions of
acres of land were pressing upon the market ,
and the distress in the cities attending Iho
