will cost the committee nothing and ac
complish more in maklnp votes than
&dj thing else that they can set in
motion. Don't forget this.
The Populists demand the govern
ment ownership of the railroads. The
old parties prefer private ownership,
political campaign boodle, legislative
bribery and periodical anarchy.leadlng
straight on to a most fearful class war
and the wiping out of our government.
Let us stop the game of the accursed
office seekers who are leading us to des
truction. Mb. Dawes, our traveling solicitor,
sent us In a fine list of new subscribers
as the result of his first half week
work. Most of the subscribers were
niArnhRtita and other business men in
m, town. One was a banker. Everybody
needs Thb Wealth Makers.
IP people would only take notice that
it 4s the rent, interest and dividend
' etreams which impoverish the workers
and enrich the monopolists they would
get disgusted over the tariff twaddle
and tblnk a way out of the political and
legislative entanglement.
Chief Arthur's position of "strict
non-interference" is the policy of the
priest and the Levlte of Scripture.
Kail way engineers who will be goided
by such a corporation tool deserve to
be ground beneath the wheels of capital.
IT is worth an unmeasurable sum to
bave one (and a reputed philanthro
pist) of the millionaire autocrat class
exposed under the national search-light
until all the people have a chance to see
the swinish, contemptible devilish
character of the ruling rich.
OCR Own Opinion is not, and The
Public Journal takes Its place, at Has
tings. A. Arthur Griffis is the editor of
the new paper, and his first issue Is a
splendid piece of work. We wish our
young friend the success which his zeal
and labor are sure to merit.
The American Federation of Labor
750,000 strong, the Knights of Labor
250,000 strong, snd about all the think
ers aud statesmen of the people's move
ment demand the Initiative and Refer
endum. Let everybody of every party who be
lieves the people know enough to rule
themselves, demand of our nextleglsla-
tnre the Initiative and Referendum.
Politicians alone will raise objections
to it.
Mr. Griffin this week retires from
I the position of business manager of our
He may. after resting awhile,
represent us on the road, but has not
yet perfected his plans.
Mr. Edgerton's poem on The Tariff
in the last Herald is the best history of
that unending political fool racket that
we have seen, and it will add to nis
versifying reputation.
We call all old soldiers attention to
an open letter addressed to them by
Uomrade Mart Howe, found on page 3
of this Issue.
The Tricks or Political Hypocrites,
Silver Creek, Neb., July 9, 1SG4.
Editor Wealth Makers:
The fight ib on. Parry supremacy in
Nebraska willl bo fought for by the
inch. Nothlog will be left undone that
can be turned to advantage by the three
leading parties. Already the skirmish
ing has commenced, and we begin to
see th hand that i& to be played by the
old parties. As a starter, the Republi
cans of Sliver Creek made use of Deco
ration Dav. The (J. A. R. Post of
Sliver Creek secured a speaker in the
person of our banker, M. L. Rossiter, to
dellvt-i the oration. Mr. liossiter is a
public speaker of coueldvrublo note, and
wo expected something pretty good.
We got what might be termed a good
camp fire talk, which In Itself was all
right had the speaker stopped at that.

name of John M. Thurston, the worst
corporation henchman and political
trickster in the state, as the grandest
man on earth and just the man that
ought to be honored with the nomina
tion for president of the U. S.
But the question that I intended to
sk of the readers of The Wealth
Makers, when I commenced this arti
cle, was this (and this question is di
rected to all friends of the reunion):
what are we going to do about it? If
that horde of Republican political
shysters swoops down on the reunion
again this year and begins to work the
party racket, shall we succumb and cell
It a Republican rally; or shall we load
up our camp equipage and strike for
home and stay there until the Republi
can party learns to keep hands off? I
think not. Thb Populist plan of fight
ing, is to fight, and I would suggest
that the state central committee of the
Populist party arrange to have good
speakers, either on the ground or with
in reach at a moment's warning, and
when the Republicans begin to work
the party racket, challenge them to a
discussion of the political issues of the
day, and then if they persist in working
the reunion for Republican influence,
thea bring PopulUt speakers onto the
grounds and let us have a triple fight;
Populists, Republicans and Bryan Dem
ocrats, and put off the reunion until
another year.
Now a little more about Silver Creek
politics and then we close and start out
with our little gun in search of game.
Hon. W. F. Porter Honest Will
Porter, as the chairman of the club
called him In introducing him made a
ringing speech in Silver Creek, Satur
day, the 7th inst. He just simply out
did himself and carried a full house
right along with him. Will's a rip-roaring-buster.
We are gaining ground
in this neck of the woods. Brother
Wooster of Alliance fame undertook to
answer Porter In the evening. It was
enough to make a brass monkey laugh
to hear him. He did lots of talking but
said nothing. OLD SOLDIER.
P. S. I see W. F. Porter's name men
tloned in connection with some of the
state officers. That's all right, but It
mutt be something better than has been
suggested yet or you can't have him.
We have use for him here, and must be
well paid If we let him go.
For governor, Speaker Gaffln; lieu
tenant governor, any good man from
the western part of the State; for treas
vrer, John Powers; secretary of the
state, W, F. Porter, of Merrick; balance
properly distributed over the state.
O. S.
Collect Campaign Funds at the
Primaries.
Omaha, July 14, 1804.
Editor Wealth Makers:
I have just completed a trip through
the south part of the state and I find
several of the members of the party do
not kiow that they are expected to
raise money at the primaries for the
state committee. In order to win the
coming campaign the committee must
have money to ctrry on the campaign;
and it is much better tbat the money
be collected early than jnst before the
campaign closes. Now I hope to see at
least one dollar collected in each voting
precinct at the time of the primaries
are held, and the one dollar or more
that is collected sent to the county con
ventions and there all be put together
and sent by the delegates to the state
convention. In this way the committee
will have something to open the cam
paign immediately after the convention
Now every precinct can raise one dol
lar, and no precinct should fatl to send
that much to the state convention.
Respectfully,
D. Clem Deaver.

Governor Crounse insslts'a Christian
gentleman; an Invited guest who de
livered the address to our university
students with the express understand
ing that he should speak his mind on
present conditions. Governor Crounse
grossly insulted him and compared
him to the most blatant anarchists
of America, because he expressed
doubts of the justice of our courts.
How la God's name can any
sane man help but question the in
tegrity of judges who hold up laws
against the greatest of corporations for
; ears at a stretch; who punish poor
men for walking on the grass and re
ceive wtih honor in the halls of con
gress a man who confesses that he has
lived in shameless adultery for years?
How can anyone defend a system of just
ice that will stop visitors from coming to
see a man wno Is imprisoned without
cat se, and allow m irderers all the com
pany tbat comes. Who can say it is
right to handcuff and send to prison a
laboror for carrying a peace banner and
at the same time to say or do Bothlig
in regard to the Carnegie armor plate
steal of millions of dollari? Does Gov
ernor Crounse defend the mockery of
justice In the Mosher case? Does he
think that justice should be powerless
to punish the Sugar Trust for acknowl
edging debauchery of legislators? That
all the state thieves of Nebraska should
be allowed to Blip through the meshes
of a system ol law that promptly im
prisons a body of needy men with suf
fering families for stealing a ride? Oh
what a shameful spectacle a man blind
ed and brutalized by bull fighting, lust,
hate, or thirst for gold may make of
himself. The most destitute laboring
man in this unhappy country need not
envy such a being when be hears the
verdict of Heaven's justice, "Inasmuch
as ye did it to the least of these my
brethren, ye did it unto me." Hamil

Change In Date of State Convention.
Lincoln, Neb., June 15, 1894.
Since the meeting of the state com
mittee fixing the time ana locating the
state convention, it was discovered that
the 15th of August conflicts with the
Grand Army reunion of the southeast
ern Nebraske district, comprising some
thirteen counties; and of which W. G.
Swan, oae of our state committee, is
commander. Their date is from the
13th to the 17th of August. Out of our
respect for the old.soldiers, and in con
sideration of the fact that a very large
number of them who belong to our
party desire to attend both meetings,
it was decided that it would be best to
delay our state convention until after
the reunion. It is unfortunate that the
fact was not known at the time of the
calling of the convention, but inasmuch
as it was not, it was considered of tufft
cient importance to submit a proposi
tion to the members of the state central
committee asking their opinion as to a
change.
Out of seventy-two votes sent in re
ply by members of the committee, fifty
six were unqualifiedly in favor of the
change, eleven were conditionally in
favor of it and only five were positively
opposed to it.
By a unanimous vote of the state ex
ecutive committee it was therefore
decided to change the date of the con
vention to Friday, August 24 th, at 10
o'clock, a. m. at Grand Island, Nebr.

FERTILE SAN LUIS
THE SAN LUI8 VALLEY, COLORADO, is a stretch of level plain ibout
as large as tne State of Connecticut, lying between surrounding ranges
of lofty mountains and watered by the Illo Grande River and a score
or more t f small tributary streams. It was the bottom of a great sea, whose
deposits have made a fertile soil on an average more than ten feet deep
The mountains are covered with great deposits of snow, whioh melt and
furnish the irrigating canals with water for the farmer' crops.
The Climate is Unrivaled.
Almost perpetual sunshine, and the elevation of about 7,000 feet dispels all
malaria, nor are such pests as chinch bugs, weevil, etc., found there, flow
Ing artesian wells are secured at a depth, on an averege, of about 100 feet,
and at a cost of about 125.00 each. Such is tbe flow that they aro being .util
ized for irrigating the yards, garden and vegetaole crops. Tbe pressure is
sufficient to carry the water, which is pure, all through the farmers' dwell
ings. Irrigation.
Already several thousand miles of large and rmall irrigating canals have
been built and several hundred thousand acres of lands made available for
farming operations. Irrigation is an insurance against failure of crops, be
bause success is a question only of the proper application of water to them
The loss of a single corn or wheat crop in Nebraska, for Instanoe, would
more than equal the cost of irrigating canals to cover the ntlre state, so
lmpo tant is the certainty of a full crop retnrn to any agricultural state
The San Luis Valley will grow
Spring wheat, oats, barley, peas, hops, beans,
potatoes, vegetables and all kinds of small fruits
and many of the hardier varieties of apples,
pears and all kinds of cherries.
In the yield ol all these products it hat ncter been turpassdd by any other ac
tion on this continent. ,
Forty Aores Enough Land.
Forty acres is enough land for the farmer of ordinary means snd helo Be.
tides the certainty of return, the yield, under the conditions of prooer lrrl.
gatlon, will average far more than the 100-acre farms in the MIsTla.W
and Missouri Valleys, and the outlay for machinery, farming stock pur
chase money, taxes, etc., ar proportionately less. There are a hundred
thousand acres of such land located In tbe very heart of the San Luis Val
ley, all within six miles of the Denver Si Hlo Grande Railroad, convenient
markets and shipping stations, for sale at $15 00 per acre Most of these
lands are lenoed and have been under cultivation and in maov ios'aBoos
have wells and sme buildings, everything ready to proceed at 'once to be
