Washington Letter.
11Y TAVKNNER.
Washington, June 18.
"I am through with it "
So spoke Senator Dolliver of Iowa. He
meant that he would never again raise his
voice, either in the Senate of the United
States or from the stump, in defense of
excessive protection.
"1 do not propose," declared Dolliver,
"that the remaining years of my life shall
be civon up in dull consent to the success
of all these conspiracies (Conspiracies in
the Payne-Aldrich bill'; I intend to light
as a Republican for a free market on. this
continent."
In other words, the mighty Dolliver,
for years an ardent protectionist, is con
science stricken. For vears he has im
plored the people to believe in protection.
suddenly ne stops ana iooks aoout mm.
lie beholds the work of his own voice.
The people are crying out at the increased
prices that have accompanied the system
of protection,
Dolliver himself declares that the spec
ial interests have got control of the goyern
ment, and that the many are being out
rageously robbed by the few. His eyes
opened, he is appalcd at the magnitude of
the sins that protection have visited upon
Republic and people.
The experience of the United States
with protection is not new or peculiar to
this conutry. Germany boasts of its high
protective tariii, and even while it boasts
the German masses are turning to social
ism by hundreds of thousands. Italy, one
oi the most highly protected nations of
Europe, is pauperizing its people that a
few men may become multi-miliionaries.
Whereever high protection has been
worked out, the best that could be said of
it was that it benefited one out of ten.
Seeing that the very life of the Republic
is endangered by the conditions which
have followed protection, Dolliver is
courageous enough to say.' "I am through
with it." That is why his speech will live
in history, because he said; "I am through
with it."
The philosophy of the lowau, in itself,
was not new, any more than were his
statements that Congress, in passing the
Payne-Aldrich bill, was dominated by the
tariff trusts. Democrats have told the
same story time and again. Dolliver
merely indorsed the Democratic viewpoint
which is that excessive protection robs the
ajany for the few.
Senators regard the Dolliver speech as
the most impressive oratory the senate has
listened to in many years. It will take
rank among the foremost examples of
American eloduence.
Our Lincoln Letter
Lincoln, Nebr,, Juno 21. (Special
Correspondence) Some republican
newspapers and orators are going
about the state seeking to make politi
cal capital by comparing the expendi
tures of the democratic legislature of
lOOt) with the expenditures of the re
publican legislature of 1007. Demo
crats will welcome that sort of com
parison, together with all the facts
relative thereto. In 11107 Governor
Sheldon vetoed appropriation bills
amounting to $200,000 for new build
ings at the institutions located In
Kearney, Omaha. Beatrice and Hast
ings. His excuso was that he wanted
to keep the expense within therevenue.
At the time he vetoed these appropria
tions the feebleminded wardb of the
state at lleutrice were sleeping two in
a cot, were crowded into an Httio never
meant for humun habitation, were
sleeping in ba6emeuts, and were herded
together more like animals thun like
atlllcted humans. When (Governor
Sheldon, on the plea of economy,
vetoed a bill to enlarge the Norfolk
asylum, there were teoreb of insane
patients in the county jails of the state,
held there because the iusane hospitals
were crowded to the point of being ab
solutely unsafe, both physically and
morally. The Kearney institute was
in such bad repair that the property
was fast fulling to pieces. Yet, in
order to make a record for economy,
the nfllicted wards of the state were
deprived of decent shelter, ard many
were forced to remain in county jails
pending vacancies in some of the over
crowded institutions
The legWature of 1009 was compelled
to provide for these unfortunates a
a provision that should have been
dictated by common humanity two
years before ii.stead of being side
tracked by petty politics Governor
Shalleuberger mid the legislature
realized that Nebruska is a gro.vlug
state', und that it should care for its
Unfortunates in a humane manner.
For that reasou the legislature appro
priated the money to build necessary
buildings and to repair buildings left
to go to rack and ruin by a republican
administration. The legislature of
1909 also appropriated $300,000 more
for educational purposes than the
legislature of 1007.
Deduct from the total appropriations
of 1000 the amount appropriated for
new buildings which should have been
eared for by the legislature of 1007,
and the $300,000 appropriated for edu
cation, and the total appropriations of
1000 are actually less than the appro
priations of 1007, This, too. in face of
the fact that the state is growing and
the demands upon tier increasing at
the sairAexate.
Yes.jicvdnqd. The democratic party
in Nebraska will gladly welcome a
egmparisou of its fiscal record with that
of the Sheldon administration.
V
Warden Smith's latest report shows
that the state penitentiary is now
practically self-sustaining. In May it
came wlthn $113 00 of paving its own
way, und would have paid it had it not
been for the Increased price of coal of
$350.00 brought on by the strike.
Under motion made by Governor
Nhallenberger the tnx levy has been
reduced three-quarters of n mill, while
fit the same time the assessed vnlue of
the railroads have been materially in
creased. V
As a result of legislation enncted by
the legislature of 1000 the state treas
urer will be enriched 'during the bl
ennum bv upwards of $130,000 by the
corporation law alone. During the
first two years this corporation tax
will bring into the treasury enough
money to pay for the new buildings
now under construction at several of
the state institutions buildings that
should, in all decency, hare been
erected two or four years ago.
"What will Mr. Bryan do at the state
convention?,, That is a question that
seems to bother some people. It
would seem that Mr. Bryan will seek
to have the Initiative, and referendum
endorsed rather that inject a county
option plank. By the initiative and
referendum, which is generally favored,
he can achieve the same results with
out danger of dividing the party upon
a matter that has no place in politics.
Tne writer does not bgllevc that Mr.
Bryan is yet ready to Inject the county
option idea into the convention and
take chances on a divisian.ln the ranks,
when by another route the people may
secure exactly the same thing.

Appeal to Democrats
It is generally believed that the next
House of Representatives at Washing
ton will be Democratic if there s
united and harmonious effort on the
part of Democrats everywhere
The National Democratic Congres
sional Committee Is charged with much
responsibility In furnishing a cam
paign book and other literature, direc
ting speakers, and doing the general
work of organization. We need your
active support especially in a financial
way. Please send to the National
Democratic Congressional Committee,
Washington, I). C, a cheek at once as
we are greatly in need of funds to push
our work, and must depend upon Dem
ocrats to furnish them. Our Commit
tee is sustained, by voluntary contribu
tions. We are reliably informed that
the Republican Committee is already
generously supplied with money. Will
you not aid us at once?
James T. Lloyd, Chairman.,
JOBKI'H E. Ransiikll,

The Referendum
(Scottsbluff Star.)
If the next Nebraska legislature is at
all responsive to the wishes of the peo
ple it is supposed to represeut, it will
submit to the voters a constitutional
amendment providing for legislation by
popular initiative and referendum
Once the question is submitted, there
is no doubt that it will carry; and once
in operation there is no doubt that the
relerendum principle will be success
fully employed by the people and with
good results. In the half dozen states
where the plan has been adopted it has
worked admirably.
. The referendum means merely that
a state legislature must submit to a
vote,of the. people for approval before
they become laws; and the initiative
1 i 4 .
means that the voters may initiate
measures themselves without waiting
for the legislature to propose them.
This system has been in operation in
Oregon for eight or ten years; it is one
of the features of the government of
Switzerland; and it is successful where
ever tried.
It is bound to come in Nebraska, and
in every other state. -Its coming will
put the legislative lobbyists out of busi
ness, and deprive the crooked legisla
tor of his graft. And it will do more
than anything else to educate the mass
of the voters to an intelligent under
standing of public questions, because
people become interested and study
questions that they have'to vote on.

It Is recommended by the state com
mittee that no proxies be recognized by
the state convention, but that the
delegates actually present from each
county be authorized to cast the full
number of votes to which the county is
entitled under this call.
At a meeting of the democratic state
committee, held June 4,. 1010, the fol
lowing resolution was adopted, and
same is recommended to the attention
of all the county and legislative com
mittees: Resolved, That it is the sense of the
state committee that all democratic
legislative candidates should file an ac
ceptance of "statement No. one" of the
so-called "Oregon plan."
