"Cut It stops nt Monmouth, does It not?"
"No, Hah." said tho pprter, "It doesn't

Our business Interests are all on tho
limited today. Six yours .iro, when we
last met In convention, wo were traveling;
on foot or on mixed trains nnd that part of
tho country was mlKhty lucky that had a
local passenger train at all.
Tho last two years of national nscend
sney have given an impetus to all our busi
ness enterprises, our llnanees have righted
up and nre In excellent rondltlou; business
Is on the move; farms nre selling rapidly
nt advanced prices; live stock nnd country
products of all kinds nre meeting ready
demands; soup houses have disappeared
nnd beefsteak and plenty have taken their
places. Kven tho pessimist and the
croaker and the nutl-monopnllst and tho
tariff llnkerer, the antl-cxpanslonlsl and
til the rest of the nutls aro on the limited,
fiomo of them aro kicking like blnzeH to

for them. Th train docs not even hesitate

town, ami in fact everywhere wo wont,
rould bo seen placarded In front of banks
and real estate ofllces farms to trade for
secondhand goods; equities In good farms
to trade for old horses and wagons. And
one fellow down In Knnsns was so anxious
to get rid of his farm of ono-hnlf section
that he bantered a passerby ono day to
trade his team, harness and wagon for one
quarter of his land'. Tho trade was made
anil the man put In two quarter sections In
the deed Instead of one. The notary called
his attention to it and tho man Bald; "I

Why, times wero so discouraging and bad
then (hat even as bravo an Institution as
tho Nebraska Hankers' association closed
Its doors and would havo been glad to have
slipped Its charter In on almost "any
old thing." Now, como to think of It, wo
were a bravo set of fellows, weren't wc. Wo
had Just us well own up, for wo actually
rhut up shop and souio voted tho pop ticket,
others shouted for HI to 1, nnd wo skulked
round and tried to dig our own graves.
Abuaos of tho vilest kind wero heaped upon
tho business Institutions of tho country and
we did not mnke an effort to correct It.
"Wo were so meek anil mighty humble that

nation's credit had biou re-established and
wo great financiers of tho country did not

nnd did not oven henltato at our predictions.
It was not tho would-bo financiers of tho
country that did It, but It forced Its way
In splto of them. It was tho wise, Intelligent,
action of tho men at the helm that brought
order out of chaos and prosperity out of
depression nnd ruin. And I believe If wo
had Jt to do over again we would rather
have tho record of tho First Nebraska regi

Kri-pliiK Vnrr Willi 1'rnnrPM,
Tho last two nnd n half years of our
history ns a nation have marked nn epoch In
the annnls of tho world and In this great
history-making our armies and nnvles have
taken a prominent and all-Important part
And wo can alfo seo as a genuine factor of
encouragement In this great national strurgl
that overy business Institution In our land
Is keeping paco with progress, yea, more
than that, we can seo Jill clasfes of
patriotic people lending their energies, their
Ininieuces, their fortunes and their "God
speed to the Orcatcr America. "
Nations, like Individuals who compose
them, havo their charncter, their trials,
their responsibilities and their rewards,
and In a nation's vast cerebrum there
should not bo left ono particle linlm
pregnated with the spirit ot patriotism
and tho essence of honesty. These nro
tho sublime requisites that have caused us
tu grow great as a nation. Under theso
Influences has our financial credit been
guided In tho pathway of integrity among
other narians and established fur us a
worldwide credit Hint stands towering
nbovo nil others, and that, too, without
the aid or consent of Lombard streot or
auy other money mart of tho world. Under
these patriotic Influences tho man that fol
lows tho ptow, thnt wields tho ax, that
slta nt tho loom, that stirs tho furnnco
fires, that clerks In tho store, that tenches
our schools, that delves In our mines and
handles our commerce; yes. every man,
woman nnd child, havcnrtslstrd In making
this great history. And our nation's des
tiny In Its onward flight must be placed
In the hands of men who nre competent to
control. For If tho Individual or the
party seeking control should prove to be
obstructionists or Incompotcnt. then would
tholr efforts bo doomed to disappointment
and to ruin. If, Indeed, they wero not
quick to catch tho Inspirations thnt lend
up along tho lines of human destiny; then
would the opportunity bo lost and liberty
Itself must bo abridged. Hut, on tho
other hand. If the party seeking control
should Intelligently nnd honestly perform
Its duty to our country and to mankind,
then would tho reward be glory nnd honor
and eternal life. Knees nru perpetual,
why theu do parties die? Simply because
they rnnnot cstapo Judgment for their acts,
(ircut II-niiiiimIIiIIII lei,
Tho past few years havo brought to ns
grave responsibilities nnd possibilities,
which wo hud never before contemplated.
And all theso responsibilities must be met
manfully and in a business wny. 1'aily
prejudice should be laid asldo and all Join
In moulding und shaping our greater des
tinies. The credit of our nation must
not bo debased by cheap money. In
II nance wo should unequivocally maintain
the gold standard. The present Is full of
economic questions. To relate the finan
cial history of the past year even would re
quire Journals that would look like decades
of former American history. Its statistics
would mount to volumes, to even glvo an
outline of Its magnitude, nil of which
bus been set In motion by sound financial
legislation. Wo nre "on tho limited" nnd
wo do not even hesitate at tho bogles that
appear bpufore us. Wo havo brushed
aside tho old adago whoso uniformity hnd
almost resolved Itself Into a law namely,
that bard money and tight times come
In all presidential campaigns. Tho em
ployment of lnbor nnd Increased products
of our factories havo given us better prices
for all farm products. In fact, It Is a great
consolation to tho Nebraska farmer that
tho consumption of farm products hni
reached tho maximum never attained. Not
only have wo employed more labor, manu
factured moro articles, but wo havo ob
tained better prices for them than pt
before. Our foreign trade has passed the
two-bllllon mark, and our domestic trade
reaches the astounding figures of ono hun
dred billions. Tho past throe years of
our history shows morn than live times ns
much trade as wo had during tho 100 yours
previous!
Tho sublime economic featuro of Oreatcr
America today 1m the concentrated Indus. ry
and working force of "j.OOO.uoo tree
American citizens bonding their energies to
their surroundlnKs nnd entering upon thalr
duties as n world power. Stupendous ns
has been this work thus far, there are still
greater possibilities In store for us In tho
Imnudlnto future, If wo only RUldo these
forces In tho pathway of tho enlighten d
civilization so plainly marked cut beforo
ub.
Far-reaching Indeed Is tho intrinsic worth
ot tho Amerlcuu dollar in tho Innld.ng up
nnd completion ot tho great fu.uro before
us. Its standard fineness must not bo de
based. Our luws havo determined und
proclaimed Its weight 23.8 gold nlno lmu
dred thousandths line, and that standnid
must bo kept. Hut our duty iKos not
stop here. There Is still before our
financial credit nnd standing a nn-iuco to
tho stability and uniformity of our money
supply.
)iiliT .Miiiiey.
There Is nn clement ot weakness nnd un
certainty in all our transactions that h'gher
civilization must abolish, and, in viow of
our advanced standing ns a nation, must
bo corrected soon. I refer to a reforma
tion of our paper money uyatem nnd bet
ter facilities for tho Interchanging ot tlio
nutlou's lnbor products that wl.l be' ndt
quato to all tho conditions and necessities
that may nrlso and that will foieveV do away
with tho damaging nnd mcnae ng Influences
brought about by tho astounding fluctua
tions ot Interest rates in our money cen
ters. It Is not a well balanced monetary
system that will call for 200 per cent lu
torest toilay and 2 per cent tomorrow. Wo
must wipe out tho disturbing Inllucnces
that bring us such damaging results. Let
us nBk tho flnnnclers and economists ot iln
country to bring forth u sys cm that w 11
bo in keeping with tho high national as
cendancy to which wo havo attained. These
warnings havo been frequent and recent
enough to stand out betoro tho world as a
unique crime. Let It bo promptly ruuio
died. Every business outorprlso nnd ecry
day's labor In this country calls for lis
demise. Why should not .bankers sp ak
plainly of theso wrongs In our financial
system?
While In this short talk I will not at
tempt to deflno a remedy, yet I vllf eay
that bankers, by committees and by rcsn it
Hons, should point out theso evils. Thoy
nre tho proper persons to assist to batter
down tho barriers that Intercept n moro
oven nnd thoroughly substnnt al money
rr.nrket. We havo leaders capaldo of do
ing It, and why stand back? History Is
full of good deeds of bankers. H-bort
Morris saved tho struggling colonies du -Ing
tho revolution by loaning them monoy.
Tho bonkers ot the north came to tha res
cue of President Lincoln during the civil
war and loaned tho government monoy
without regard to tho socurlty thoy re
colved. We hnve our Grants and Shermans and
Shcrldans, our Dowcys and Lawtons then
why should bankers bo timid? Thoy aro
tho custodians of tho people's savings, it
Is their army of customers that keeps the
wheels of progress In motion. Their cus
tomers nro those who till tho soil, who
build the railroads, who mako nil tho pub
lic Improvements, who start the factories
In motion, who lloat our commerce, equip
our navies nnd mobilize our armies. It Is
their customers that obey the low of tho
land and represent tho highest type of
American citizenship. Their standing Is
not based upon the deposits they have In
tho banks, hut upon tho honesty of their
transactions. And why should they bo
forced nslde by the demagogue. I can see
In the future for this elass of people an
honesty of purpose anil concert of action
that will mean n regeneration of the na
tion's conscience and enlightenment In all
its financial transactions.
Oilier liii'tliin.
There aro other questions which wc must
treat with equal force and wisdom. The
revenues ot our country must be kept out
of tho hntids nt political mountebanks and
grave illggern. Men whoso only ambition
Is to create deficiencies, to destroy prop
erty rights nnd values, to abuse the na
tion's credit and to raise hades generally
must not be put In power.
We have a serious lesson along this lino
that should never bo repeated. The entire
Industrial force of the country succumbed
to Its withering touch. Thousnnds of In
dustrious worklngmen were hunting Jobs,
business of all kinds was pnraiyzcd, prop
erty values were destroyed, farm produce
wero no longer salable at living prices
money disappeared from tho channels of
trade, the I'tilted States treasury boennv
bankrupt. Want and ruin wero every
where. And the debris of bad management .
Incompetency and dishonesty was piled
mountains high at tho door of tho tnrllf
tlnkcrers nnd Ism-uionijcrs of the country
ail tho results of their nets of "perfidy and
shame." And tho most reniarkablo thing
about It all Is that a policy lould bo In
augurated by the government that would
enablo the country to recover from these
distressing and damaging and ruinous
policies so quickly.
This nation did not only Immediately
rccupcrato Its finances, hut commenced the
reduction of tho national dobt. The In-tcrost-benrlng
obligations of this govern
ment wero rapidly reduced to 2 per cent,
the lowest government Interest rate .In the
world. Our per capita circulation nrose
so It Is only exceeded by one other eouutr.
Our people Immediately took on tho In
spiration from the Improved conditions
and not only commenced p.iylng their
debts, but soon found themseUes able to
lonn large sums of money to Europe. The
storehouses of mortgnges In Nebrnskn
Knnsns and tho Dakotus havo been reduced
to tho minimum or wiped out entirely.
Tho farm loan trust Is E"no hecnusu ther
was no more business for It to du.
Tho foundntlon has been paved for tho
world's financial center upon tho American
continent and upon this structure, erected
by prosperity nnd national Intelligence, will
tho commercial and financial transactions
of tho future securely rest. Hcalstlng tho
encroachments of greed and oppression, It
will bo nblo to hurl back tho demoraliza
tions of dishonesty and Incompetency. It
will resist all attempts to weaken our
credit. It will assist In the abrogation of
ull forms of despotism find forever silence
anarchy nnd oppression upon the American
continent. Isms, bogles nnd Illiteracy must
ccaso nnd tho conscience of the country
must bo represented In the government of
the country. Soon our merchant marine
will deck the seas and In tho bright com
mercial constellations that will surround
our monument will bo seen the nations of
tho world bound to us In the strongest
mutual bonds to keep the peace.
Another (St-i'nl Duty.
In tho rhlllpplne Islands another great
duty confronts us. It Is not a question as
to how tho3o Islands enmo to us. but It Is
the condition that exists there that must be
mot. And this all-Important question, llko
our flnnnces, should not l:o mndo n party
question. It Is a plain, humnue duty that
wo havo to perform thcio and in the per
formance of that duty we must net like
fair-minded. Intelligent men, meeting every
impulse nnd every obligation In tho spirit
of statesmanship. We cannot, wt must not
a'low any scuttling policy In those Islands;
they aro under tho sovereignty of the Amer
ican flag and our nation's honor must be
sustained. That territory Is as completely
ours as Is tho slato of Nebraska. And why
should the establishment of law and order
be opposed. The Interests of our people arc
mutual and must not be dllded. Every
right and patriotic impulso savs restore
order under our Hag and complete tho es
tablishment of n stable form ot government
for those deluded people. Those Islands, If
not cared for by this government, will im
mediately bo seized by other powers.
Every principle of right says hold them.
Humanity dictates our course nnd confirms
tho wisdom of the policy of President Me
lt I nley.
In the lines of trade Manila Is ns com
pletely tho metropolis for tho commerce of
tho Orient as Is New York for tho United
States and those four hundred millions ot
peoplo must njul will emerge from
tho lethargy of barbarism and take
their placo tn soine form with
a higher civilization And with this
change soon to come and tho Philip
pines ns our base, It will plnco tho pro
ducts ot our farms, our factories and our
workshops In clo30 touch with a rising mar
ket. No man can tell Its Importance or
nggregato tho wealth It will bring to our
nation. And all this can bo nnd will bo
brought nbout without war and bloodshed,
without endangering a slnglo life, without
damaging a singlo commercial sail. All
wo havo to do at this tlmo Is to net like
intelligent American citizens and stand to
gether ns a nation, stand by tho ling nt
our country in all our possessions, sustain
tho hands ot tho administration thnt has po
ably led our people to prosperity and na
tional glory.
Ivey of (ho Orient.
There Is nnother great American duty to
perform. Wo must enrry out all our na
tional nnd International ohllgntlonn In
China and In all quarters of the globe. Our
national ascendancy must bo sustained. No
quibbling, no receding, no hauling down of
tho American flug.
In tho first stages of fho Rpanhh-Amerl-ean
wnr wo found ourselves In pnises3!on
of trado for which wo had been contcnd'r.g
with France, Oormnny and Enghnd fcr lfiu
years, nnd always camo out btiilnd In the
tace. Tho thunder of Dewey's guns blazod
the way nnd our foothold In Asia was firmly
established, never to bo retraced. Tho
first 100 days of war advanced tho com
mercial standing of this nation more thin
half a century beyond what It could
have attnined in peaceful llmos. In n tow-
days we found oursclvca In pasacsblun of
trade aud territory thnt hatl been uVui'
nated by a hostile people, and why shou'd
nny business man think of abandoning It?
It not only opens up great commercial
ndvuitnges to us, but It puts us In posses
sion and control of tho great Interoceanle
canul, which only awaitB American oiitcr
pilsc nnd a few scoops of dirt and wo will
be placed thousands of miles nearer our
new possessions nnd the Irada of tho
Orient. And whllo this would bo of vnst
Inrportanco to our coramorco In times of
peace, In times of war it wculd in-re thau
treble tho strength and effectiveness of our
navy for strategic work nt sea and
thereby save tho nation millions tn the
building and operating of an euorauus navy
tc protect our coast.
In the great questions of tho hour wo
find American statesmen foremost In di
recting the policy of nations In the settle
ment of alt International questions. In iho
field of commerce our advancement Is won
derful. At tho present rate our merchant
marine will not only declc, but soon swejp
the sens. Soon wo shall see the produc.s
of tho American farm and workshop a d
factory shipped in American vessels to all
i tho marts nnd markets of the world, and
we shall have tho proud satlsfaiton of
! seeing tho American homo not only tho
, home of the free, but tho borne ot tho con-
I tented, happy patriot, who will conscien
1 tlously feel thnt he has done his duty to
i his country nnd to tho world at large.
Grand ns has been tho rotults of the
1 Spanish war, single nnd swift us nio our
victories, yet I do not believe wo can even
contemplate what is lu storo for ua In the
immediate future.
i:pniinliiti Precedent.
Look back over our history for tho past
120 years and wo behold thirteen Mnall
American colonies nestled way d.wn on
our enstern bolder. Thoy were pr ml Ivj
and poor, but they wero honest, Intiua riciis
and enlightened. They begun to grow, they
required n llttlo more room, they aim xd
a llttlo moro territory, sometimes by .In
slow gradations of driving tho savage back
Into tho widerness, then again it came by
leaps and bounds, sometimes by war and
sometimes by purchase, and sometimes by
both war and purchase. Our expansion
policy has always been "on the llmKcd."
Hence we see our monster government
stretching Itself out over a vast hemi
sphere, always requiring moro room nud
annexing moro territory. It pissed the
onco boundless plains1" of tho west, It
climbed the snow-capped peaks of tho
Heckles and with either ear listened to the
duct of tho commerce of the Allan Ic mil
tho Pacific. It rested for a time upon tin.
gciden shores of California nnd then leaped
to the frozen boundaries of Alaska, and
then, within thirty dnys of war, we sa
the stnrs nnd stripes in tho hnnds of the
First Nebraska boys, flitting across tho
placid waters of tho Pacific nnd planted
firmly under the frowning guns of l)wy's
Meet, upon the Islands of tho archlpo'.ago.
And thnt act, with tho treaty of p nc
fhould have caused the shedding of Ameri
can blood upon those islunds to cense.
Hut we nre sorrowful to know that there
are mourning mothers In our land today
from tho loss of boys In those Islunds. It
makes no difference to the American peo
plo whether that son Is a son of a Logan,
a Lawtnn, n Stotsenberg, or tho most hum
ble of our land. Thut mother Is un Ameri
can mother. And that son Is nn American
ltlzen. Let no man say that ho Is not
In tho line of his duty as a patriot. Lot
no one attempt to lower the Hag In dis
honor fiom any country where tho Intrepid
bravery of our soldiers nnd the fervent
prayers of our mothers have placed It.
Yen, let the flag of freedom, guided by our
higher civilization nnd man's efforts in his
humanity to inun, continue to enlighten
the world und bring blessings to genera
tions yet unborn.
We did not desire war witjj Spain, we
tried to avoid It, but the time camo when
wo were obliged to fight. And now that
unexpected territory and commercial ad
vantages havo como to us, why should wo
tnlk about turning It back, why should wo
shirk our duty In tho least? Certain ob
jectors look down over tho conduct of tho
wnr with Spain for something about which
they could find fault, and finding absolutely
nothing they waded out Into tho bayous
und sloughs of unrest nnd brought out tho
hobgoblin of imperialism nnd militarism,
and attempted to fasten it upon tho nd
mlnlstratlon. Had theso men been pa
triotic enough to emulate the examplo of
Stephen A. Douglas, In 1601, nnd Ocnernls
Lee, Wheeler and Sickles, In 1S9S-!)!), the
Tagalo war would have nover taken place.
I realize that nil tho grandeur and great
ness of tho present day haa not taken
placo without somo mistakes.

I wish to thank you for the good your Wine of Cardul lias done mc. I got five dollars' worth and ii did
me twenty-five dollars' worth ot good. I was unable to do my housework before taking the Wine, but
before the summer was out I was doing my own wanning, ironing and all my housework myieli. I felt
better than I had in eight years before, and it did me more good than all the other medicines I ever
have bought. I have had a great deal cf treatment from Hie doctors but I never have received half the
benefit from them that I did from your Wine of Ordul. I shall ever praise it and recommend It lo all
suffering women. All who doubt this may write to me. Mrs. W. J. MULL.
