For the past two years a groat deal
of spaeo in tho populist press has been
devoted to wholesale denunciation of
the republican party for thu alleged
"extravagance" and "misconduct" of
the republican officials in the state
house, and tho "mismanagement" of
state institutions under a republican
administration, had saddled a state
debt of nearly a million dollars on the
voters of this com inon weal ill.
f It has been repeatedly asserted and
frequently reiterated that the polity of
the republican party In Nebraska and
the actions of its official representa
tives at the capital was solely responsi
ble for the indebtedness that hangs
over tho state today, and a strenuous
effort has been made to make this al
leged condition of affairs a leading
issue in the present campaign.
With a loud boating of tom-toms
and a persisting sounding of the an
archistic how-gag, frenzied appeals
have been made to the voter to rally
round the standard of flntism, incendi
arism and vagnrism, and "redeem Ne
braska from the fearful blight of re
publican misrule." Tho stump dis
seminators of political quuckery hove
been quick to take their cue from this
bald mis statement of fact, and a sys
tematic course of truth-distortion
and misrepresentation hus been in
augurated.
Along this line, too, are being direct
ed the efforts of divers political Mashi
ltazouks, who, while seeking revenge
on the republicans who for years have
kept them at a safe distance from the
public money drawer and as persist
ently denied them the power they cov
eted, are jointly watching an opportu
nity to secure control or plunder the
campaign caravan, while they prate of
loyalty, honesty and the need of good
government. They parade their bogus
devotion to principle with as sublime
u nerve and as contemptible hypocracy
as ever characterized thatothur patriot
for revenue only—ltencdict Arnold,
whoso assumed sincerity in his advo
cacy of honesty served only to cloak
the seirel conferences with Major
Andre, while contemplating tho assas
sination of friends and the betrayal of
country.
It is nothing more nor less than a de
liberate attempt to politically hood
wink tho people of Nebraska.-In order
, to enable populism to wipe off the slate
nud sturt anew with a clean bill of
health without having to fa.-e the dam
ning record of inefficionov and inootn
petcncy made in 1891, when it had an
opportunity to exhibit itself and show
the taxpayers what it could da
Unfortunately for the populist party,
it has an ineffaceable record in Ne
braska, as well as in Knnsas, Colorado
and Oregon, and so long as public docu
ments are preserved so that he who runs
may read, the state platform of poDU
listn will not “point with pride” to tiiat
yecord.
True it is that Nebraska lias a state
indebtedness of hundreds of thousands
of dollars, but equally true is it that
this indebtedness was saddled on the
state by tho populist legislature of 1891.
The facts aru plain, the record is offic
ial and right here in the midst of a
campaign of state issues is as good a
time as any ffc>r the thinking voter to
sit down and recall a little of the all
wool-aud-yard-wide arithmetic of his
youth. Let him ponder well these of
ficial figures, and then decide with so
ber sense and business judgment wheth
er he is financially able to indulge in
tV the questionable luxury of two years
of “reform” administration of that
typo. And that, too, without such a
palliating circumstance as republicans
In otlko to set the brakes when the
g pace of reckless inexperience gets so
hot that it threutens to land tho Bhip
of state on the rocks.
That the legislature of 1891 was
clearly populist admits of no question.
That party had 54 of tho 100 members
of the house and 18 of tho 33 senntors,
including the evanescent Taylor, who
ran away during the fight over the
maximum freight rate bill and whose
form has never since that duy cast its
shadow across Nebraska’s [prairies.
The populists organized both houses,
contoihng each with a good working
majority, and In the language of thoso
of their own party faith is written the
offiictul story of their shame. Here are
the figures that tell the tale:

Each session of the legislature covers
a'biennial period. The last republican
legislature was in ItSJ, covering the
years 18811 and 1890, while the first, last
and it is to be hoped the only populist
legislature the state ever will have,
gras in session in 181)1, covering the
years lS'.iI-OS. These two sessions of
fer a splendid opportunity for a fair
comparison, besides showing the resl
facts relating to the sdbject of existing
•tate indebtedness.
With the natural constant increase
i. |n the wealth of the slate, the populist
legislature of 1891 found a greater as
sessed valuation of property subject to
its taxatiou than had ever before been
the case. With such a condition of at
, lehrs and an honest determination to
economize, combined with the business
ability to carry that determination into
execution, the natural result would
have been a reduction of the tax levy.
Did that legislature five any evi
dence of such retrenchment? Not to
sn extent visible to the naked eye.
There was neither retrenchment nor
economy, but there was populist "re
form" with a vengeance. Instead of
reducing the tax levy, that legislature
crowded it up to tho five mills for gen
eral fund purposes, the maximum limit
under tho constitution, thus combining
the highest valuation in the history of
t he state with the highest possible levy
in mills.
lie it remembered that this was ex
clusive of the regular special taxes
called for at that time by the legisla
tion of former law-making bodies of
the state, and which swelled the total
levy to 85£ mills for 1891 and 0 03-100
mills for 1893. lie it understood, how
ever, that these special taxes were not
an unusual feature, as they provided
for the following funds: University,
sinking, school, state relief and insti
tute for the feeble minded. Special
taxes arc ordered in the bills creating
certain of the state institutions, to pro
vide for the maintenance or for dis
charging the original indebtedness,
and these taxes were practically the
same In 1889 and 1891.
The general fund levy represents the
actual operating expenses of the state
government, and the record shows that
the republicans conducted it on a levy
of from 4% to 4 8-9 mills, while the
populists made it 5 mills, even with an
increase of several millions in the as
sessed valuation. The republican leg
islature levied taxes on the state
amounting to 83,303.138 and appropri
ated ngainst that levy St’, 381.410, an ex
cess of 818,334 over the taxes levied;
while the populist legislature levied
taxes amounting to 83,438,344, and then
appropriated 83,880,575, spending 8438,
030 that there was obviously nothing
in sight with which to pay. In other
words, the populist legislature deliber
ately spent nearly half a million dol
lars that it did not have and could not
get, thus transacting its business at the
expense of the state's credit, and ne
cessitating the issuance of warrants at
7 per cent, which are still drawing in
terest at the taxpayers expense.
Right on the face of things the state
was being put in the whole to the tune
of 8138,000, while in reality it was
utmost twice as much us that. It is a
mutter of general knowledge that 80
per cent covers the amount of taxes
generally collected, but conceding that
85 per cent of the 1801 and 1803 levy
was collectable, thus placing the popu
lists in the most favorable light possi
ble, even then they are proven guilty
of placing an indebtedness of 8790,983
on the state.
ThiB is the indebtedness that the popu
list have been and still are charging up
to republican "mismanagement" and
“extravagance,” when the otllcial fig
ures and records of the populist cleric
of the house and populist secretary of
the senate of 1891 show incontroverti
bly that it was legislated upon the
state by the populist ma jorities in those
bodies. Had the republican legislature
of 1S8J made the levy 5 mills as did the
populists in 1891, their record would
have shown a surplus of over $100,010
above the appropriations, as compared
with an indeutedness of 8890,000 which
is the record of the "reformers.”
In other words, the little experiment
of electing a populist 4egislature cost
the taxpayers of Nebraska nearly a
million dollars more than the republi
can legislature would have cost. What
wonder, then, is it that many a tax
payer who is finding it difficult to pay
his share of the expenses of operating
the government has concluded that pop
ulist control is altogether too high
priced a luxury for this year ot hard
times. The populist leaders realizo.
this, and in desperation are seeking to
befog the issues and misstate the facts.
It is not strange that they should seek
to disguise the truth, for it is not cal
culated to help their campaign, llut
their efforts to shirk the responsibility
j will not succeed. They will be required
I to givo a more satisfactory account of
| their stewardship than lias yet been or
j can bo done, before receiving further
j trust or confidence. If they are dis
honest in their representations of ac
tual conditions existing today, how
I much mode honest would they be if
| they could secure official control of the
' state?
| These facts and figures are submitted
• to the thinking voter without passion
| or prejudice. The purpose has been to
naught extenuate nor set down aught
in malice, but to set forth the simple
truth with a view to correcting popu
list misrepresentations and presenting
the real history of the indebtedness
that hangs over Nebraska today.
Their Miialnesa Record.
When a citizen of any congressional
district is elected to congress and intro
| duces bills which become of record,
there is only one presumption, and that
is, that he honestly believes in his
measures and hopes to see them be
come law.
When the members of any political
party, through caucus in congress,
agree upon certain measures ana intro
duce them as bills, the only presump
tion Is that, speaking for tneir party,
they hope to see the measures they in
troduce become law. Never since the
foundation of the republic has there
been such an exhibition of attempted
profligacy and ultimate disaster as the
populist members of congress have
given to the people through the meas
ures introduced by them during the
last two sessions. These bills of record
propose to cure every public ill, imagi
nary or real, and as a curative power
they invoke the wholesale printing
and distribution of unearned money.
lion. James P. Pigott, democratic
congressman from the state of Connecti
cut, delivered a speech in congress that
was printed in the Congressional Rec
ord, on the 13th day of August, 1SU4.
That speech, which so admirably illus
trates the populistic idea of law mak
ing, has never, since given to the public,
] been assailed by the populist press or
I speakers as untrue or exaggerated. It
| is simply a transcript from the records,
j every word of which is verified by the
j bills which the populist members of
; congress introduced,
i bills introduced into congress by
populists carrying with them appropri
, ations as shown by the summary made
| by Mr. Pigott are as follows:
i By Mr. bavis of Kansas. H. R. 3,43#,
a b.U for the United States government
| to pay mortgage indebtedness by a 1
per cent loan direct from the govern
: inent upon certificates and abstract of
■ title oi land. Legal tender to be
printed and issued In whatever volume
is required to make the' payment. Ten
billion is this lump
By Mr. Clover of Kansas H. R. 6334,
providing for loans at two and one-half
per cent interest to counties, munici
palities and needy individuals. To pro
vide money for these loans, treasury
notes to be printed by the treasury-de
partment.
Mr. PelTer of Kansas, senate bill, 976
to establish a bureau of loans, legal
tender to be issued to meet the demand.
liy Mr. Kem of Neb, house bill 5458,
to establish a system of government
banking. To start this the estimate is
that one and one fourth billions of dol
lars would be required.
Mr. Watson of Georgia in house bills
6660-10009-10405, proposes to manufac
ture billions of dollars in paper to float
both crops and mortgages. These bills
cover his famous sub-treasury scheme, j
The first bill asks for 950,000.000, the
second bill for 9100.000,000, and the
third for 9100,000,000 just as an intro
duction.
Mr. Hudson of Kansas ft. ft. 3186,
proposes to settle pensions all in a lamp
by paying ten times the annual amount
at one. This would require over a
billion and one-half of money to be
printed at once.
Rep. Davie of Kansas H. bill 4449 has
another pension bill which would re
quire $500,000,000 annually and he aaks
legal tender to be issned in payment.
Senators Allen’s bill, senate file 3134
is of like character.
Senator's Fellers pension bill, senate
file 358 requires to start the ball rolling
$105,000,000 the first year.
Mr. Davis of Kansas, house bill 6767,
provides for the creating of an indus
trial army of 500,000 men to be clothed,
and paid the same as the regular army
men. This would not cost less than
one-half a billion of dollars and Mr.
Davis, with as much confidence in the
wheels of printing presses as the wheels
in his head, proposes to issue 5300,000,
009 at once and $100,000,000 a year
thereafter.
Sentor Peffer, Senate bill 1300, has
also a bill foor the relief 0 of the desti
tute to furnish ready printed money to
the people of the nation for this pur
pose at the rate of one dollar for each
ten inhabitants
Mr. Boen of Minnesota, house bill
7,90S, aslcs for $100,000,000,000 in legal
tender notes to buy railroads, improve
rivers and build postoffices.
Mr. Simpson of Kansas, house bill
4,412, proposes that the government
purchase all of the gold and silver of
fered and issue double the amount of
coin in paper money in lieu thereof.
Representative Davis, house bill
5,448, proposes to substitute tariff laws
by issuing paper money sufficient to
to meet the needs of government in
stead of a tariff revenue.
.Senator Kyle, senate bill 1,531, pro
poses an unlimited issue of fractional
currency.
Mr. McKeigan, house bill 6,010, pro
poses the same kind of legislation ex
cept putting a limit upon the amount
issued.
Mr. lloen, of Minnesota, proposes to
print money in sufficient volume to de
stroy Salsoti-Kali-Tragus wherever
found.
Mr. Davis in house bill 7,896, Mr.
linker in house bill 7,887, Senator Pef
fer's senate bill 2279, all ask for appro
priations for storing rain water for
irrigation, asking the government
printing offices to print money in
various amounts to meet the expense.
Mr. Hell in joint resolution 169 asks
for a committee to devise means for the
employment of the idle and proposes
to issue legal tenders to pay for all
such employment.
Without duplicating the amounts
carried in the bills introduced by pop
ulists where their purposes are similar,
Mr. Pigott, in his speech, makes a re
capitulation which shows the appropri
tions required and demanded in the
bills. This recapitulation in total
calls for $35,507,600,900. Commenting
on this total Mr. Pigott says: “The
total money of the world including
paper, gold, silver, copper, brass and
iron does not exceed $10,000,000,000,
and it appears that the amount of
money called for by these bills, which
it must be presumed were honestly in
troduced by populist members of con
gress, is nearly five times the amount
of currency of the world. What paper
money would be worth under such cir
cumstances any one of ordinary intelli
gence knows."
The best possible way to judge of
the honesty of purpose and the ahility
possessed for good government by a
political party is through the represen
tatives of such a party make when put
in a position of responsibility. This is
the record of the men the populists have
sent to congress. It is not a record of de
mands for the unlimited use of silver
as money, but a record calling for an
issue of fiat money so extravagant as to
be beyond belief. Lunacy itself could
go no further than the limit towards
which Mr. Pigott has shown that popu
listic ideas are running. The most
rapid printing presses in the world
could not keep in sight of the appro
priations, if the government was turned
over to them. To those who hear of
populistic economy and are advised that
it is a party of silver, the record above
will be very much in evidence.

ANOTHER’S BRAINS,
HOW THE PRESIDENT COMPILES
HIS SPEECHES.
"Treason Like a Deadly might” De
scends l'poll His Own Head—Tom
Moore’s Poem Used to Slaughter the
Democratic Leader*.
[From Now York Sun, A ug. SO.]
The usefulness of a good working li
brary to a President of the United
States was magnificently illustrated
in the memorable days when the
"American Cyclopaedia” furnished Mr.
Cleveland with speech after speech
for delivery to the mayors and citizens
of southwestern towns.
Mr. Cleveland is not regarded as a
scholarly man. but his library
methods arc still those of the patient
toiler in the alcove.
Having on hand during the past ten
days the job of composing a 'etter to
Mr. Catchings, and desiring to put to
Catchings the infamy of treason in as
strong and striking language as pov
sible, the President goes to his book
Where Is Democratic Harmony?
shelves. He does not take down the
Cyclopaedia as before, for he seldom
consults that once familiar work now
except under stress of absolute neces
sity He reaches instead for his copy
of John Bartlett’s “Familiar Quota
tions ” Turning to "Treason” in the
index, he finds first:
“Treason can but peep, 112.”
That will not answer. “Treason
can but peep” Is too undignified for a
semi-official executive communication.
It suggests chickens. The next indi
cation is this:
“Corporations can not commit trea
son, 24.”
That is manifestly unavailable. It
is too favorable to the trusts Next:
“Treason doth never prosper, 30.”
But it does prosper, and its pros
perity is what Mr. Cleveland wants to
complain of to Catcliings. So he turns
to tlic next line:
“Treason flourished over us, bloody,
111.”
That might do, but a reference to
page 114 shows Mr. Cleveland that
bloody treason is mixed up with the
fall of Great Cicsar, an unpleasant
idea to contemplate.
“Treason has done his worst, 121.”
The same objection applies. Treas
on has done his worst and Duncan is
in his grave; malice domestic, foreign
levy, nothing can touch him further.
“If this be treason, make the most
of it, 42a”
The same trouble again in the quo
tation from Patrick Henry’s speech in
the convention: “Ccosar had his
Brutus; Charles I. his Cromwell,” and
so forth. But the seventh indication
is a find.
“Treason, like a deadly blight, 52<i”
That’s the sort of treason he wants
to impress on Catcliings’ mind. Going
swiftly to page r.2U he scans with the
satisfaction of a discoverer these lines
from “Lalla Rookh:”
“O tor a tongue to curse the slave
Whose treason, like a deadly blight,
Comes o'er the councils of the brave,
And blasts them in their hour of might!”
Just the thing for Catcliings. And
so with patient, laborious care our
President rounds out his period thus:
"I take my place with the rank and
fllo of the democratic party, who be
lieve in tariff reform and know what
it is who refuse to accept the results
embodied in this bill as the end of the
war, who are not blinded to the fact
that the livery of democratic tariff re
form lias been stolen and worn in the
service of republican protection, and
The Lumber man's Fix.
who have marked the places where
the deadly blight of treason has
blasted the counsels of the brave in
their hour of might.”
It is true that the figures of speech
are somewhat mixed, and that the
patch line between Hon. Grover
Cleveland s rhetoric and Tom Moore's
is rather too obvious; but that doesn't
matter much. It is a precious privi
lege to get this glimpse of the actual
workings of a massive mind in full
and effective operation.

That Three Per Cent Loan.
The payments of interest due on
the national debt have been increased
during the eighteen months of the
present democratic administration by
83,000,000 through the placing of a 5
per cent loan last winter. This loan,
it will be remembered, was for $50,
000,000, but the premiums paid there
on brought the total amount received
by the government up to about $58,
000,000, which reduced the bonds to a
3 per cent basis. This extra premium
amount was promptly spent by the
democratic administration as a part
of the proceeds of the loan, so that,
as a consequence, the full charge of 5
per cent upon the loan must hereafter
be made every year until the bonds
are redeemed. So much for the 3 per
cent loan.
Democratic Financiering.
The net ordinary expenses of the
United States government were re
duced under republican administra
tions from 810.21 per capita of the
population in 1868 down to 85.98 in
ls93, a decrease of almost one-half.
During the first year of the present
democratic administration there was
an increase of more than 35 per cent
in expenses, from 85.38 in 1893 to 86.87
per capita in 1892. This hardly savors
of the economy that was preached by
the democrats during the campaign
of 1893.
Turning to the net ordinary re
ceipts of the government, we find that
they were 810.97 per capita in 1868 and
were reduced to 85.43 per capita in
1292 under republican administration^
a decrease of more than 50 per cent
But last year during only one year of
a democratic administration, they had
increased more than 35 per cent from
85.43 in 1892 to 86.91 per capita in
1893.
During one year of threatened free
trade, under a democratic administra
tion, there has been an increase of
81.39 for every man, woman and child
in the country in the net ordinary ex
penses of the government, and an in
crease of 82.48 per capita in the re
ceipts collected from every individual.
He Is Full of Apologies.
He (President Cleveland) is full ol
apologies for intruding on the delib
erations of congress, reminds the pub
lic of his own good intentions, and
while he makes it perfectly clear that
his own views have in no way changed
since he returned to the white house, he
seems to have very little hope that the
party will be shamed into a consistent
policy. There is nothing in his letter
pledging him to veto a tariff bill in its
present form, however mischievous
to the country or inconsistent with
party declarations it may be. This
singular document is practically an
address from the head of the demo
i cratic party warning the majority of
i the senate that they are deserting
! their pledges and bringing discredit
on their political organization; but it
leaves Mr. Cleveland as President at
liberty to take in that capacity what
ever course he may consider expedient
should the bill ever be agreed on by
both houses.—Morning Post, London.
