THE WEALTH MAKERS.
One Minister Anawqrs.
Edison, Neb., Aug.
8, 1894.
Editor Wealth Makers:
In your issue of July 26, 1894, I find
the following request, to wit:
Will some trood minister of the gospel
of Christ tell ua why Moses instituted
the "year of jubilee?"
Was he patriot or anarchist?
The institution of the year of jubilee
is recorded in the cook of LovlticuB,
25th chapter. But we must begin in the
book of GenesU, to read this matter in
telligently. The fourth chapter of
Genesi gives the account of the birth
of Cain and Abel, also their religious
offerings, and the talk they had about
eir form of giving unto the altar, and
murder which ensued in which
ftin killed his brotner A Dei. mis
chapter gives us the starting point
from which two classes of mankind
emanate. One. Cain's family, is called
sons of men; the other, Seth's family,
is called ons of God. (Gen. 4:25-26 and
margin, Gen. 6:1. 624. Here in the
first scripture given, we have, (N 4:26)
men ' calliog themselves by the name
of the Lord," (margin) or calling on the
nam of the Lord. These are known as
the sons of God; see their lists of suc
cession only, as we find it in the wicked
.nn Af mankind. Gen. 6:1 refers to
his Increase as well as to Seth's: but the
.a iunii ahnwR. that the daughters

Joanadiri this that he mleht deliver
raven the vilest sinner, even Cain. Pro
vided, he, the sinner, would submit to
the terms of salvation, which are con-
nt.tr.nal "For the ton of man is come
r
' t'to see and to save that which is lost."
Luke 19:10. So Jesus was a ton of man
as pertaining to the flesh and its Infirm
ities, but he was also a son of God, as
pertaining to the covenants and promise
and the redemption work as Abraham's
seed. John 10:30-36; Luke 3:23 38; Gal.
a-1 ft; alii. 3:8. "Now iust before the
flood these two classes existed, one,
Cain's setting forth the powers of evil,
the other, Setn.setting forth the powers
of good. 'hese two forces, good and
Vil.were tUfed loose in i!-aen oy aaam.
.. v -i .
e love for eacn otner in m
Simmon family ties was still Kept up
to sima extent only, when some of the
' " preachers of righteousness insisted, too
persistently, on all hands heing good, as
for instance; Eaoch, a preacher, naa
to go away from where he lived on this
account, for the world y men sought to
kill him, so it is written that God took
' him that he should not see d eath. Gen.
3.Z-2i; Heb. 11: But aside from these
Hjtii't difficulties which are constantly
occurring among Cain's descendants in
' - foreign lands, where they kill our mis-
J sionaries, they all get along nicely ex
J cept that most of the preachers married
'' into Cain's family where the gay girls
of the world were raised; so that God
saw the evil tendencies in the whole
human family, even those to whom the
work of preaching had been given.
Genesis sixth chapter sets forth the
vbove fact, and adds that Noah only was
jound upright in his generation. -
t Noah was then chosen to carry on the
good work through the flood, and to re
plenish the earth; but the unfortunate
man got" drunk after having raised a
crop of grapes, and Ham his youngest
son, played some smart trick on his
father, for which Canaan, Ham's son.
was cursed or rejected from the family
of Noah, and thus became the leader of
wicked and idolatrous people after the
flood, as Cain was before the flood.
Ham's family set the worldly ball rolling
which reaches us today. Briefly, all
good came from the sons of God whose
successors live today In the believers of
Jesus, i. e. true followers. All evil
came from Cain and Ham whose follow-
as are the proud wicked worldly peo
e. The religion of God has always been
pt in an unbroken line of chosen men.
rJHrue religion emanated from this
line. All religions of Bhudda, Zoroas
ter, Confucius, and all other forms
found among all nations and tribes and
clans of the past and present, are but
such as the worldly men, sons of men,
have seen fit to borrow, corrupt and in
corporate, into their systemaAfter hav
ing mingled with the sons of God.
They simply wanted to Imitate the sons
of God, a9 many now do, and in this
way every religion on the face of the
earth can be traced back to the fountain
of the truth as nurtured through the
.Centuries by tfye sons of God. From
Seth o Noah, to Abraham, to Moses, to
esub.to the church, comes the unaltered
truth from God. Jesus even quotes the
law of marriage had in the beginning,
Mark 10:6. Now with the understand
ing before us that there are two classes
in this world and only one class to which
the covenants and promises are com
mitted for safe keeping, and since the
Jews are in that line of the sons we
will quote a text which placed the
keeping; of the truth in their hands,
and then proceed to consider the jubilee,
Rom. 3:12. Moses came not as a dicta
tor of laws but as the mediator of them.
Gal. 3:19 20. Now turnincr atraln to
Mev. 25:1, we find that 'ithe Lord spake
itb Moses," ordering the abser ranee
vi iiuo jem jl jubilee iviuircB merely

about the work as he was ordered so
do.- The injunction served against
eg the land was Bot from the au
lty of Moses, but from God the
Almighty. Verses 17 24. He tffko
questions the justice of this injunction I
not only reflects on the wisdom of God
but is in danger of slandering the Most
High. It is Jehovah, not Moses, who
issues this order. The Jews were a
typical people, and about all of their
ceremonies and civil institutions, to
gether with their moral laws were
"types and shadows of better things to
come." Col. 2:16-17, Heb. 9:9-10, Heb
10:12, Gal. 3:21-25.
The word jubilee means "time of
shouting." It was a season of great re
joicing. Public joy and festivity attend
the 50th year after the seven weeks of
years or 49 years. All property reverted
to its proper owner after making just
settlements. Verses 13-16. Everyman
returned to his possession, and every
slave to his family. Verses 10:17-55.
The walled city house, if not re
deemed within a year could not be re
deemed at all. Typical, no doubt, of
some things that will not be redeemed
In the great ultlmatlon. The land be
longed to God, it was never sold. But
people sometimes bartered away their
rights, and these rights were restored
to them again in the year of jubilee.
The children of God under Moses and
his successors as leaders, when they
kept out of idolatry, never attempted to
sell the land. Sometimes the Jews
didn't keep the jubilee and were cap
tared and carried away by wicked na
tions, sons of men. They were typical,
then, of those who refuse to keep God's
laws, suffering the eternal cutting off
from God. , But the jubilee is typical of
a better time to come. As the saenfl
clal lamb was typical of Jesus, "the
lamb of God," Ex. 12; John 1:29; as the
high priest was typical of Jesus as our
high priest, Heb. 5:1 2; Heb. 4:15; Heb.
5:5-6; as the manna was heavenly bread
and typical of Christ as our heavenly
bread, Ex. 16:4-f-3l; Ps. 78:24-25; John
6:31; John 6:49-58; so also is the jubilee
typical of the times of restitution spot
en of in Acts 3:19-26.
Restitution means restoration, settle
ment, beginning anew etc., this is jast
what was done in the jubilee. When
the great day of restitution or the great
jubilee shall come then all the property
of the children of God shall revert to
them. Rom. 8:14-17. Rom. 8:19-23
Rom. 413. Gal. 3:8 Rev. 11:15. Rev
5:9-10. 1 Cor. 6:23. Rev. 21: 1-5. In Gen
12: 2 3; 13:15-17; 17:8; 18:18; 22:17 18 were
promises made and only partly fulfilled
The Jews held part of the promised
Canaan only, as can be learned by the
promises and maps. Whatever applied
to the seed of Abraham in the flesh or
circumcision, was fulfilled. Neh. 9:7-8
But this did not include all the land
promise made to Abraham, we are told
that he did not get it while alive. Acts
7:1-5; Heb. 11:8-13; neither have any of
the faithful yet received these promises
Heb. 11:39. But the seed of Abraham
after faith shall receive tblsland and
work at the jubilee, and they are now
heirs to the promises. Gal. 3:27 29,
Matt. 5:5.- The wicked shall be cut off
but not until all come unto a knowledge
of truth and repentance. I Tim. 2:4, II
Pater 3:9. Thus giving both classes of
men in the worid an opportunity to lay
hold on the true riches which God pur
poses to give the obedient. But how
hardly shall the worldly rich, sons of
men, enter the kingdom of God, said
Jesus Matt. 19: 16 2G.. It is possible
for the wicked bods of men to repent,
but they have laid hold on the property
of another god, and have held it so long
that they do not want to relinquish it.
Covetousness greed, ' was forbidden
among the children of God, and when
Satan offered Jesus the kingdoms of the
world he refused, in order to keep God's
word and to abide the time when his
Father would give him the kingdoms.
Adam came into the world naked and
God clothed him with skins.
Job said, naked came I from my
mother's womb, naked shall I return.
Said Paul, we brought nothing into this
world and it is sure we shall take noth
ing out. Man is simply a sojourner
here, he owns absolutely nothing. If
he did he could take it with him. The
Bible is fall of the follies of the rich.
Luke's gospel, twentieth chapter, re
lates she story of the fool. The rich
always create u food, a Sodom, but never
create anything by which mankind can
be saved. ( The rich instinctively turn
with an appetite to the theosophical
religions of the east; psychology Is their
main hold. This has always been the
religion of the unwholsome house of
Cain, and the rich will patronize the
modern church which deals in this sort.
The rich use the gospel just as the
Greeks used thelHdea of punishment.
The Greeks for political purposes, used
to tell the people of the awful place for
the incorrigible, and then when the
orators and wise, accomplished their
ends, they laughed at the crying crowd,
of rourse they kept this part secret.
Just so the rich expect the ministry
to keep the -crowds quiet. Corporation
papers, undoubtedly, publish Mr. Tal
madge's sermons and scatter them
broadcast. Why? Because he has
never failedto caution the poor, and to
preach the rich and cultured all into
heaven. There are ministers in this
land that preach more gospel than Mr.
Talmadge. Why not publish their
sermons?
These haughty sons of men, descend
ant of Cain, a city builder, and a mur
derer, buy and sell land. A modern
deed as wa know conveys landJ They
do not own the land, but they sell it, or
buy and keep it The sons of Go 1 the
church, does the same tnisg. It ought
not to do bo, but the rich have the
world from the evil one and in the ryes
of darkness, the Christian fell in with
the world, as they did before the flood,
and as it was in the days of Noah so
shall it be in tne coming of Jesus. At
that time God destroyed the wicked
and turned the property over to the
righteous, and that is jast what Jesus
will accomplish when he cOmes to bring
in the millennium restitution times of
the great jubilee. We should notenvy
rich. Tneir day is coming (read Jas
5. ) I now in conclusion, answer that
Moses was not an anarchist. If forbid
ding the land to be sold is anarchy, then
God Almighty, the maker of heaven
and earth, is thnt anarchist, and I en
dorse his plan and shall keep his law on
that point, and pray for the day when
every man shall have his heaven-given
rights. Yours fraternally,
Eldlr J. S. Miller.
A Strong Argument From an Omaha
' Ma a.
We are asked to assist Mr. Bryan to
the high office of United States Senator
as a Democrat.
If the Populist party has a mission, it
is to wipe from American politics the
Democratic party. For fory years or
more it has been the enemy to equal
rights for all, and has been the friend of
special prtvilages to some.
And now we a new party, posing be
fore the people as the only political
party having the good of all at heart,
propose to give away the best place in
our gift to our political enemy was ever
such folly seen before?
God save us from our friends." And
what demand has this man Bryan on us?
Why you say he has faced his party
and worked against them, and has stood
with us in demanding free silver. His
party has sat down on him, and forced
him to appeal to the people, and the
people have endorsed him. Well, what
did the rest of us do when our parties
sat down en us? Did we lick the hand
that inflicted the punishment on our
backs, or did we boldly declare for
new party? But here stands Mr. Bryan
repudiated by his party, coming to us,
the most powerful of any party in the
state, saying, "My party as a whole is
opposed to you on all questions, but
some of us agree with you on the ques
tion of free silver. But we are, a hope
less minority in this state. Now help
me to the best place you have to dispose
of and my reward will be ample." Re
ward for what? For doing what tne
least man in the Populist party believes
to be but a plain duty. Must we re
ward Mr. Bryan for that? But you say
he will help us to eleet our state ticket
Are you sure of that? Already the
Democratic press is counting their
gains, by the strength gained by fusion
with the Populists? And that is just
what they have a right to do. Are the
Democrats foolish enough to vote for
state Populists when we have promised
them our support? If they they are
that foolish, they should never be
alowed to exercise the high privilege
of the franchise.
Make this note right here. Where
the Populist party demands govern
ment . ownership, Mr. Bryan favors
government control. And now note
that one hundred and fifty-one railroads
that now are under government control
And note also how that control la
sought to be exercised. B forbidding
men to quit work, or asking others to
quit, while In the employ of roals so
controlled. By state militia and U S.
soldiers, by declaring insurrection and
shooting citizens, and by demanding
courts to sus'aln their acts. You have
seen what government control means,
to a Democratic administration. Are
you ready to abandon your demand for
"ownership," and accept Mr. Brian's
control policy?
But you sayt Mr. Bryan Is a great
man, not great enough it appears to
quit his old rotten party, but great
enough to ask us to help him into
power.while he remains one of the party,
Shall we turn down some man in every
way Mr. Bryan's equal, one who has
borce the taunts and jeers of both the
old parties, and has fetood at the front,
perhaps for years to make room for Mr.
Bryan, a Democrat? We would show
great love for Mr. Bryan, but poor
faith in our own best men, and our
principles as well.
That any man who has seen the need
of a change in our financial policy can
urge fusion with any man in either of
the old parties parses my comprehen
sion. Elect all the Bryans jou will, and
let the country have another Demo
cratic presided, and no reform will b
made. I am compelled to think the
men who would favor fusion are too sel
fish to care for the good of any but them
selves. But the great evil of fusion lies in its
evil effort upon all who truly desire re
forms. Abuses have grown in nearly
all lines, until conditions are almost
unendurable. And now shall we say in
effect, we do not want reform, but a
division of the spoils? Some of us have
been faithful for twenty years and
more, stiivlng for better government.
We are now old and are willing younger
men shall have the places and tne credit,
but we want honesty of purpose, and
honesty f acts, to govern them. We
are not in the market. We loft our old
parties for reasons we thought suffi
cient and cannot be forced back into
them. Respectfully,
Omaha, Neb., A. A. Pekry.
The JutHlM Troups at Palmyra.
Editor Wealth Makirs:
The Populists of Palmyra Invited
Henry Huckins of Nebraska City and
Mr. William Dech to come and carry
out the program outlined ia their
publio notice, and right nobly did they
fulfill their pledges.
The Palmyra park was used as the
most prominent and available place for
the occasion, considering the condition
of the weather, and the moon being
near its full. We had on a very short
notice a very fair audience. The sing
ing was good and the selection made
very appropriate. As to the speech, it
m m l 1J1
was a very . ciear ana ousiness-iiKe
statement of our condition. Of course
no regular dyed-ln-the-wool partisan
was or could be convinced, for the sim
ple reason they came there with a pre
disposition not to be convinced; but of
one thine we are certain, and that is
the Dlaln unvarnished statement of
- g- -
facts was presented, and Mr. Dech re
quested anyone in the audience to con
tradict any statement that militated
against the truth in his historical state
ments. No one came forward to con
tradict or refute. They thus confessed
themselves either incapable of doing
so or from a desire to ignore.
If there are any Populists that are
needing campaign enthusiasm aroused
In their neighborhood I most heartily
recommend Messrs. Huckins and Dech
as men well qualified to both entertain
and lnstruot.
Trusting that the people will be
aroused to stir themselves up to do
some thinking, and not to be led by
mere platitudes and monkey uniforms
I remain, Fraternally,

Hon. John Stevens on Irrigation
Funds.
Editor wealth makers:
Dear Sir: You unmask the inter
state irrigation congress in your issue
of the 9th. People should have light
on this subject. Please turn on the
light again.
It is of the present famine that I wish
to call attention. I have no wish to
make light of our condition when I say
there is little need of great sufiering
if all the counties will use the money
they now have in hand. Let each
township share in the division of the
funds on hand, and the commissioners
levy a tax on townships sufficient to re
turn to county the full amount so taken.
The legislature can pass an act legal
izing this action. Why bond your
county whilst you have money in bank?
The banks may not approve this
course, but desperate as the times are
no man should stand in the way of
making the best of what material we
have. Call out your sinking funds.
J Stevens.
Men and Platforms.
"Men, not platforms," says the Farm
ers' Voice. '
. Dead wrong. A rascal who will sup
port a good platform is better than an
honest man who supports a poor one.
Let the people adopt their own plat
forms and then employ men to go to
state and national legislatures to enact
them into law, the same as they would
hire a man to drive a team.
And If they don't follow instructions
make suchfin example of a few of them
that others will take warning. Chicago

Two of a Bad Kind.
Because the World-Herald and the
Evening News have fused, they tblok
that the Democrats and Popultets all
over the state are fusing. Their com
bined effort to make the people believe
that the Populists are all flocking to
standard of Bryan is the smallest piece
of political chicanery that was ever
tried to be bulldozed through a cam
paign. When did the World Herald become
dictator of the People's party? When
did it leave the time service of tne
mocratic party? Western Laborer.
That's What It Is.
If we have a government of the peo
ple, it is time the fact was made mani
fest. If we have merely a government
of sham honey-combed with special
privileges which we are unable to dis
lodgelet us know it. If the Democratic
party Is merely the sport of a few little
lordlings who have managed to sneak
into office on false pretenses, let us
know it But for God' sake, let us have
done with cowardice and lying. Henry
