THE WEALTH MAKERS.
r
An Open Letter to tbe Independent
Soldierv. of Nebraska.
BT M. HOW.
Comrades, their Is no use for our Re
publican soldiers to disguise the fact,
they hate us, not because we were not
good joldiers and did our duty and pro
tected "Old, Glory," but because we
dart assert our manhood and renounce
our allegiance to "king caucus" and the
gang that has got us and this nation
by the throat, and are trying to strangle
as to death. For a quarter of a century
we have been but passengers on the old
hip of state, supposing, in our sweet
Ignorance, that we were safe, and that
'our pilot would land us safely In a good
harbor. For twenty-live years b(ti
l branches of our Consress was over-
C encampment had been asking "our sol
d'er Republican" friends to give us i
wheln.iogly Republican, and the nation-
- " al service pension asked for bread and
got a stone in the act of June, 1890.
This infernal insult lo the true soldier
was a 'oompromlse" end was given you
and service pension bill defeated, the
same as the "Sherman act" was passed
to defeat a free coinage measure.
The gold bugs of Wall Street are ar
rayad agalrst you and tha "service
oenslon bill." tbe same as they are
azsinst the use of the money of the
poor people.
LI recollect when a bill was passed to
f quallze bounties, and at the same sefr
, sion a bill passed to increase the pay of
every congressman aod senator and
raise the pay of the president from
125,000 per year to 850,000. President
Grant vetoed the "equalization of
bounties'' and signed the one doubling
his and congressmen's salaries. He
gave as his excuse that the bill equal
lzlng bounties would bankrupt this na
tion; but he was not so solicitous about
the national treasury when we were
issuing bonds and contracting our cur
rency and at the same time paying the
disloyal bondholders two dollars while
we gunholders were getting one dollar,
We were denounced as disloyal to our
flag and country when we cast off the
shackles (and; declared that we would
be free and vote it honest men that
would represent us. Yea, when we
even dared to cast our vote for James
G Fields, an ex-confederate soldier, we
. a rMIinlori ftnd tn.ntffH Athv nil r Tip.
Voublicao soldiers. .Yes. at our last
j f -
state encampment we were insulted and
our presence was not desired. I recol
lect some comrade making a motion to
censure Hoke JSmith and our old Ex
Governor Thayer making an amend
ment "to include All thote old soldiers
who had voted lnuch a way as to have
made it possible for him to be secretary
of the Interior," meaning it for a direct
slap at all of us who bad voted for
m eoeral Weaver, And Thayer made a
7l t red hot Republican speech and insisted
t t . j-j
. on nis aoieuameot uuu ue nuticvuuucu
by many of his kind. After they had
abused us all they wanted to, the amend
ment was withdrawn.
These self-constituted advisers of
ours and you will find them in every
county this fall have forgotten some
of the past hUtory of some of their ap
pointments. Let's go back to the close
of the war and then work up to the
present time and see how much they
love us. When the war closed we bad
over 300,000 crippled union soldiers,
many with arms; and legs off, with
shattered constitutions, tramping over
tie country (by the way, here
is the first time we had
tramps) looking" for work, having
surrendered lucrative positions to
others less loyal and patriotic, to go and
defend the old flag (at $13 per month)
but nevertheless, wekfind that gallant
and magnanimous man who said to
General Lee at Appomattox for his
( Lee 's) officers, to retainitheir side arms
ani the men to take their horses home
to raise a crop with, we Jflnd General
Grant, a Republicanlpresldent, elected
by the soldier votesof this nation, ap
pointing such a rebel.murdererandcut-
. throat as Col. Moseby, of guerrilla
,' fame in the Shanendoah Valley, as
isul to China! And this In the face
of the fact that the' north was full of
able, lojal union soldiers, as well quail
fled for this posi'lon. The same was
done in tbe appointment of General
Longstreet to an important position at
New Orleans, and General Joe Johnson
government commissioner of the Pa
clfl railroad.
len we come down to President
llarr. ton's election. In 1889, when he
was nominated and was anxious to carry
vne soiuier vote or qis own eiaie, ne
v sent for that legless soldier, Tanner,
f X. ' and Van Dervoort of our state to stump
J ( Indiana ami to guarantee the soldiers
that the lWub!lotn jarty earn-
Uj platform, "that the gratitude of the
I ! ...I.- I. I... ..I .1 - I ..

cannot be measured by laws, and la the
presence of an oversowing trvaury, It
would be a publlo scandal to d la for
lho wninwi va'orou eTvlo preserved
,vi govern tent than what ere
doing for the bondholder." Tanner
and Van lWrvoort tarried Indiana on
tats plank, and Tanner was tumt eotn
mUstoncr of pensions, and the very
moment h attempted to carry out the
vrouitavs made by the Uspubllcan party
Wall strvet demanded his head, and ol
It came lt appoint d itauro, and I
waal to quite a clipping from the
Waohlagioa W, publUhed as an later
vet with a prominent It-publlce at
VxL torts of that clti: "CointnUlooer
Raum In his last report made the state
ment that he proposed during the en
suing year to put out 3-70,000 certifi
cates." He says, "Three days ago I saw
a statement covering six months and it
averaged 2,800 per week and last week
there was Issued only 2,051. They have
2,050 employes, which makes it one
pension certificate apiece for a week's
work." Again he says, "We pounded
Cleveland and Black, in the campaign
of 1888, trom one end ef the country to
the other regarding the operations of
the pension question; we were particu
larly forceful and were particularly ef
fective on the point that General
B ack's administration was rejecting
40 per cent, of tbe increase claims,
but I have been told by a half dozen
people who studied the figures that the
present administration is rejecting 85
per cent of tbe increase claims. If it
is not true, it is high time that the ad
ministration entered a denial." The
The soldiers of this state and Kansas
know too well how hard it was to pro
cure a pension until the organization of
the People's party.
It was no troible In Ohio and Indiana
to get a pension. Why? Politically,
very close. Why so hard in Nebraska
and Kansas? Politically, all one sided.
Soldiers, you recollect prior to our
organization, two lines in any paper
would contain all the pensions allowed,
but what a change since '00! Borne
days it would take a whole square to
hold all the names. I recollect in the
winter of 1889 the "Veteran Associa
tion" of Nebraska met at Lincoln and
H. C, Russell sent out a circular letter
explaining the objects of the meeting.
It is headed, "Attention; Coffee
Coolers," and says: "I have received
letters asking what is the object of this
meeting?" and he says, "If I understand
the object it Is for tbe purpose of tell
ing Congress in plain, unadulterated
Eoglish language, what we think, ex
pect and demand in pension matters."
Then he quotes the platform as follows:
"Tbe gratitude of the nation to the de
fender of this Union cannot be meas
ured by laws," etc, etc., and says:
"We supposed that the Republican
party was in earnest when they adopt
ed the above. If they were not, we
whisper a word of warning to the ma
were, and one object of the meeting is to
jority in Congress." Further on he
says, "This Congress says, or is about
to say, that they can do no more for us
than the two preceding ones did. We
have asked for nothing but even-handed
justice. We have been put off with
eulogies long enough. We want bread.
We wish to call the attention of the
party in power (Rep.) to Daniel 6: 27,
and more particularly to the little word
Tekel;' then we can without fear of the
rules and regulations refer them to that
'other fellow who had to quit business
at the old stand and go out and eat
grass with the oxen. One of ourfriends,
Senator Frye, says: 'I warn you to be
ware of the money power of this coun
try." You see by this that the Repub
lican soldiers had considerable to com
plain about. I was in that convention.
I recollect the ringing resolutions that
were adopted on the pension business,
that were not very complimentary to
the Republicans in power. Comrades
Russell, Thayer, Cook, Culver, Clark
son, have you forgotten it? You did
not ha.e the courage to censure Loch
ran in your state encampment, but hit
him over tbe head by censuring a man
that does not ran the pension depart
ment, anyjmore than Lamar did when
Black was commissioner. You knew
Loch ran came from a regiment that
lost more men a greater per cent
than any regiment in the volunteer ser
vice. You dara not censure him.
Yet we find as great a dissatisfaction
during Harrison's and Raum's term.
The American Tribune, published at
Harrison's home, made this kind of a
statement In May, 1892: "It Is said to
be a fact that in the southern states of
this Union over ninety-five per cent of
the federal offices are held by ex-confederates
or their relatives. The Home
and Country of New York, one of the
leading and most Influential military
papers In the Union, in referring to the
matter says, "We speak from knowl
edge, aod to gather this data has -n-tailed
considerable time. In one city
we cou'd mention there are seme forty
positions under tbe national govern
ment the Incumbent of not one of which
can wear the G. A. K. button. Yet
there are two poets of the order there,
and many if those worthy comrades
who have asked for bread but were
given a stone."
Such la the history of the Republican
party towards the soldier In the past,
and too true ha this Un tniupllao-l
In our own-ttaie. My mind wanders
back to 'M and the appolnmenu made
by UarrUon In this atato. General

Governor inmate, that emtneil
soldier you heard so much about during
the campaign two years ago, selected a
Democrat for World's Fair commis
sioner, and a Democrat from Omaha to
prosecute Hill; and even Hill thinks
there are no legal lights in the Repub
lican party, so he selects two Democrats
to defend him. Crounse removes an
old Union soldier that went from New
Orleans to Pennsylvania and enlisted
and rose from the ranks to captain of
his company J. C. Crawford has been
wounded six times I say your Republi
can governor removed him as chief
janitor at the state house and replaced
him with a Democrat
The Board of Public Lands and
Buildings let out three old poor soldiers
at the state house and retained in their
places foreigners and civilians. Tbe
Board of Transportation could not find
a Republican shorthand writer and
typewriter, so they, too, employed a
Democrat. Our county judge Lansing
could not find a Republican In Lancaster
county qualified to fill tbe position as
deputy, so be selects a Democrat who
was chairman of county commissioners.
Teeter, ex-commander of the G. A. B.
of this state, out of some 000 old sol
diers in Lincoln, could not find one of
their number good enough for his clerk,
so he, too, hires a Democrat.
How they (Republican soldiers) do
love us!
I recollect tbe election of W, V. Allen
as our United States senator, a gallant
soldier, and how he was liked by them.
Out of fifty-one Republican votes, forty
one signed a pledge to vote for that
arch traitor to this country during tbe
war, J. Sterling Morton, in preference
to a Union soldier! This caucus was
held in tbe supreme court room just
before Allen was elected, Think of it,
soldiers of Nebraska, you can be called
idiots, cranks, adarchlsts and traitors
for voting and speaking your senti
ments; but forty one (and many of them
soldiers) sign a pledge to support a man
that during the war was passed through
the lines to Canada by the then Gov
ernor Saunders, after he had taken an
oath that he was a loyal citizen; and we
hear of his name in a book published
giving a history of the "Knights of the
Golden Circle" in Indiana, as "J. Sterl
ing Morton of Nebraska" no doubt our
same loyal J, Sterling Morton of Ne
braskaat present trying to run the
Democratic party, the National Grange
and several other national institutions.
Independent soldiers of Nebraska,
stand by your guns, Don't be hood
winked. The grand old Republican
party is through with yeu. They are
using you only to pull chestnuts out of
the fire for some "young Republican."
Look at the Republican convention
held at Lincoln July 3rd. Who were
candidates and who were nominated?
Col. Pace, a gallant soldier, who sacri
flced himself and lost two brothers in
the war, was a candidate. On the
night before the convention tbe
"Veteran Republican League," 340
(reputed) strong, met and endorsed
"Comrade Pace" and vowed once more
for the three-tbousandeth time to
stand "shoulder to shoulder and elbow
to elbow," as they had done from '61 to
'(15, and support Pace. See the result!
On the first ballot Pace got it where
the chicken gets the ax. And the
same soldiers that had resolved so hard
the night before voted for a civilian.
And the same thiag went along down
the line, there being five soldier cat dl
dates for representative, but all were
defeated by civilians, some of them
beardless boys not a soldier on the
Lancaster delegations. Let me say that
your gallant Tom Majors will go down
before that gallant Jack MacColl of
Canada, the same as Col. Pace went
down before our friend John B. Wright.
So 1 want to encourage you to be faith
ful. We are right, and "right will pre
vail.'' It may not be this fall, but do
not be discouraged. The mills of the
Gods gi lad slow, but sure. When you
are approached by one of these self-ap
pointed recruiting officers and he com
mences to try to show you how disloyal
you are for not supporting the G. O, P.
ticket, as you have done for a quarter
of a century, just give him a little past
(but not forgotten) history.

Prospectus of the New Song Boolx
for the People.
The editor of The Wealth Makers has devoted his spare time during the
last two years to the preparation of a book of songs such as la needed to edu
cate, unite, arouse and Inspire the woalth makers of the world in their im
pending conflict with the wealth takers. The battle before tu Is the battle
of the ages, the Armageddon of prophecy, the last great oonfl let between
greed and goodness. It is the organized brotherhood of right, against the
legalized despotism of might. Truth has been spreading, love hat beea
growing, fraternal organization has been extending; land the inereaslng op
pression of monopoly power la in these closing years of the 19th century pre
cipitating the final struggle. That it may be a peaceful political conflict we
agitate and pray; but whether peaceful or otherwise it cannot be averted, tt
cannot be longer delayed.
The new song book is to be called 'Armaoeddow.'' The book will con
tain about 70 songs for the times, over half of them new, and half of the red
are nearly new aad famous, and the remainder are most carefully selected.
Fifteen of the numbers are a series of songs sent out by the writer two yean
ago in sheet music form, under the general title of "Songs of the People."
The titles of the songs which Armageddon will contain are In part as follows.
GET OFF THE EARTH.
