THE WEALTH MAKERS.
Cither Socialism or Absolute Dee
potUm.
WOODLAWN, Neb., July 12, 18M.
Editor Wealth Makers:
With gigantic steps the social ques
tion hastens to its solution, and the re
sult will be either socialism or absolute
despotism. Just as from the elements
contained in the shell of the hen's egg,
only a perfect ben or a monster oaa
svolve, so from the present social and
-economic conditions only socialism,
with equal rights to all mankind, or
absolute despotism and reversion te a
barbaric state can evolve.
Free labor with unlimited competi
tion, and better methods to work, with
the use of natural power and machinery
have done more for eeonomlo produc
tion in the last 50 years than has been
accomplished in centuries before. And
this astonishing, fabulous progress has
caused a total revolution and change in
all economic and social conditions.
Free labor and competition compelled
manufacturers to accept the best tools
and metheds of work for competing in
this contest. After releasing the hand
of the laborer, through machines, the
owner of machines had an advantage
over the hand laborer, and it is only be
cause at first machines were imperfect
so that the good produced by them had
to get the finishing touch by hand, that
hand manufacture was not suppressed
long ago. But this has changed so that
today machinery works even more
exact than human hands.
As soon as natural power and machin
ery went unrestricted into competition
with hand power and skill the fate of
the laborers was sealed. 'Against this
power the changes were too uneven,
acd the laborers were pressed into the
service of the capitalists. They had no
capital, therefore from this time capital
was the main power in production, and
it marched rough shod over every
obstruction and subjugated not only
laborers and natural powers, but pres
sed even science, art and law-giving
powers into its service. Therefore it
could be only a question of a very short
time when capital would establish an
absolute despotism; and at this point we
have arrived. The almighty dollar
has acquired a dictatorship and rules
with a cruelty that every Roman em
peror and Russian Czar would not dare
to exercise. But it would be unjust to
condemn the progress of capital. With
out its will or wish capital has been a
benefactor to mankind, because it took
from the laborers the hard, tiresome,
spiritless hand power work, or at least
reduced it to a minimum, and replaced
it with natural powers and machines.
All that is necessary now is that the
human race emancipate itself by re
straining the power of capital and make
this acquisition a blessing and benefit
to mankind.
If a man who died 50 years ago could
come back he would believe that all the
fairy stories of his youth were a reality.
Today we ride without horses, with
steam and electricity; we speak to our
fellows thousands of miles away, and
send on the wings of lighting our
words around the world. A child oan
execute more power than thousands of
horses. At Hell Gate, for instance,
thousands of tons of rocK were removed
in a single moment when a child 7 years
old pressed a button with one of her
fingers. Should mankind not be proud
of such progress and should this not be
a benefit rather than a curse to man
kind? But to our great sorrow this acquisi
tion had to be paid for with great suffer
ings, because the possessors of these
means used them to plunder their fellow
men, thereby creating an unbearable
tyranny.
That by replacing hand power by
natural powers the laborers must be
robbed of their resources was a natural
consequence of competition, and there
fore the present crisis was inevitable.
That the crisis did not come sooner was
because by making full use of natural
power and machinery enormous obsta
cles had to be removed and large build
ings, etc , had to be erected. The
court s of rivers had to be changed
channels dug to make use of water
powers, roads had to be made for steam
engines, mountains had to be moved or
bored through, rivers, lakes and valleys
had to be spanned for miles by bridges,
or had to be filled up, and large build
ings had to be erected for stationary
engines, etc. And for this, giants'
work, millions of men and horses were
needed before natural powers and
machines could develop their full
capacity. Therefore all the men who
were replaced by machinery In the
different industries could easily get
work by good irages at these gigantic
undertakings.
Because capital invested in these new
industries paid large profits manufactur
ing plants were created regardless of
their necessity; everyone tried to beat
the other, the whole people were seized
and Intoxicated by this giddiness, to
awake with a headache and with shaken
nerves.
Wot until now have capitalists found
out that the means of production exceed
the power of consumption, the conse
quence being that the smaller manu
factures have been ruined by the large
onos.
In agriculture the same process is
going on just now, the smaller farmers
are pressed until their breath gives out;
but even the larger and better situated
farmer cannot compete with the cattle
kings which raise cattle by the hundred
thousands and with the wheat baron
who, with his steam plow puts thous
ands of acres into wheat
The boards of trade, too, rob the farm
ers of their well-earned rewards of labor
These boards of trade are nothing but
gambling hells, presided over by the
devil himself, and favored with privi
leges from the government and Bureau
of Agriculture, so that by dealing in
options they can sell the cattle, hogs and
grain of the farmer without his consent
being able to flood the market with im
aginary goods. So even better situated
farmers must be ruined too in a short
time.
Even the selfish suppression of the
small manufacturers was not difficult to
restrain the production sufficiently, bo
the larger manufacturers were obliged
to combine and form trusts for regulat
ing production and prices, whereby fin
ally the control goes Into a single hand,
and then absolutism is reached. This
ideal and goal of all trusts the Standard
Oil trust has already reached. A short
time ago the two oil kings, Rockefeller
and Rothschild, divided the world be
tween them and the lines were drawn
for the territory over whloh each shall
rule. The people of one-half of the
globe is tributary to King Rockefeller,
and the people of the other half to King
Rothschild, and according to existing
laws these two oil kings can ask any
price for their oil, or they can refuse
to sell It at all.
Think of it, two money Jews have it in
their power to refuse to mankind one of
the God-given blessings. This is a
proof, too, that the money power is not
bound to state lines, nor to one form of
government Republicans and subjects
of monarchs are robbed in the same
way.
Everybody is convinced that this is an
Injustice, but people are afraid of a
radical change, and the agitators for
such a reform are denounced as lawless,
dangerous anarchists.
The middle class which gets poorer
every day, and most of all the laborers,
have to suffer from trusts, because
laborers are deprived of all means te
procure the necessities of life; and
therefore they are degraded to be slaves
and exposed to the worst misery and
under the present system of production
there is no hope for amelioration, as
through over-production and new in
ventions more laborers are drawn out of
employment, so the condition of the
laborers gets worse every day. The
poorer the common people are, the less
they can consume. This is the reason
why at present all warehouses are over
full of provisions of all kinds, which
oan not be sold at cost of production;
whereas at the same time hundreds of
thousands have to suffer and go hungry
because they have not and can not
acquire the means to buy what is need
ed for a living.
Not until now when the gigantic pre
paring works, which were necessary for
developing the natural powers, are
finished and the laborers are obliged to
return to regular work, have the labor
ers found out that they are superfluous,
as in every iadustry they have been re
placed by machinery and the cheaper
labor of women and children. And
wages all over are regulated after the
standard of the cheaper women and
child labor.
To regain their old wages and rights
labor unions were started, which by in
fluencing legislators to pass eight hour
laws, by strikes, etc , should light to re
gain the old conditions and save the
laborers from destruction. But all this
is useless. No power on earth and no
law can stop the motion of the world
and the social evolution. Middle class
es and laborers can only be saved from
ruin and procure an existence such as
human beings should have when the
state takes possession of all the means
of production, runs the same for the
benefit of mankind, and use the common
products for the common weal. And
for this purpose trusts have prepared
everything, so that, for instance, the
government can only say, "Mr. Rock
efeller, please let us take a hold of the
oil business as you need a rest."

An Imperial Governor for New Vork.
Levi P. Morton has come home from
his home in Europe to announce himself
a candidate for governor of New York.
In 1868, when the Rothschild bond
holders who held between four and five
hundred millions of our five-twenties
determined, against the law to convert
our whole national debt into immediate
gold value, those "extortioners" as John
Sherman then called them, started a
paper called "The Imperialist." It was
published at 37 Mercer street, New
York City. With a crown for his figure
head, its motto was this: "The Empire
Is Peace Let us have Peace." It was in
every way anonymous, the "Imperialist
Publishing Companj" standing for its
sole sponsor. But the advertisements
told the story. Among them prominent
ly, was one from Morton, Bliss fc Co.
Levi P. Morton has since been vice-
president of the United States. Is he
training for the presidency?
"The Imperialist" introduced itself
thus:
"Though unannounced, this journal
is not unexpected. The platform for
The Imperialist Is revolutionary; its
object is to prepare the American peo
ple for a revolution that is as desirable
as it is Inevitable.
We believe Democracy to be a failure.
"We believe in short that Democracy
means lawlessness, corruption, insecu
rity to person and property, robbery of
the public creditors' and civil war; that
the empire means law, order, security
public faith and peace.
"We believe that the national faith, If
left in the keeping of the populace, will
be sullied by the sure repudiation of
the national debt and that an imperial
government can alone secure and pro
tect the rights of national creditors.
"We believe that but a smnll percent
age of the American people can be con
bidered fit, by character or education,
for unrestricted exercise of self govern
ment" The sole purpose of The Imperialist
was to double the bond-holder's invest
ments and the people's taxes, or to des
troy the nation. In 1869, The Imperial
ist put out the candle for the reason,
as it stated, that "owing to the preju
dice of the people and love for their
false idol, the Constitution, The Im
perialist could accomplish their designs
better through the Republican party.
It is now known to me at least and
I shall soon publish the details that the
demonetization of American silver was
planned at a banker's meeting in Lon
don, at which were especially repre
sented the Rothschild's and the bank of
England, though American bankers
and millionaires took an active part In it
So much Is certain. But I have addi
tional information which I trust, that
when Ernest Seyd came to this country
in 1873, to interyiew.the final committee
on the fraudulent "Mint Bill" he went
directly from his ship to the New York
Banking House of which Levi P. Mor
ton was the head, and was met there
and conducted to Washington by John
Jay Knox, Controller of the Currency.
In the London meeting of the bankers
and millionaire fund-holders, an aris
tocracy, with titles and coats-of-arms,
for the United States, was freely dis
cussed. The chief speaker insisted that
a scarce basic money, controlled by
those issuing the paper inflations of It,
could be made a perfect Instrument of
absorbing the small properties of this
country, and reducing the masses to
dependence and serfdom. As aristoc
racy could then be imposed upom them
without difficulty.
Is Levi P. Morton a tool, of the con
spiracy? Is he an imperialist?
The People's party must be effectively
organized in the state of New York, aod
in every other state.
The Democrats are as bad as the Re
publicans. The leaders of both are in
tho hands oi England, and of our Anglo
Tory bank system. But a third Politi
cal party can hold the balance of power
in a close State, like New York, and can
at least knock out before It is too late,
any man caught in the act of unmistak
able treason. GORDON CLARK.

Feeding of Wheat.
Chicago. Ill , Sept 4, 1894.
Editor Wealth Makers:
I am extremely sorry to learn of the
hard luck of the farmers of Nebraska
this year. Having been one of them for
nine years, I have some idea of the ex
treme suffering that this terrible fail
ure of the corn and oats crop must pro
duce over the state. Then as if to add
to our misery and mock at our calamity
the reasonably fair wheat crop, which
is much more abundant in other places
is being taken advantage of, to hammer
down the price of it below the cost of
producing it. Now with much more of
this kind of luck and treatment on top
of all that has gone before, there is no
use for the farmers and their friends to
shut their eyes to the fact that they can
not stand it, but must inevitably go to
the wall by hundreds.
Now what can and ought to be done?
The first thing, as the time of election
is so near, is to fall into line, present an
unbroken front and elect the Populist
ticket by an overwhelming majority
Next, beginning even now, revive
every Farmers' Alliance, nourish every
flourishing one, organize every new one
that is needed, make them all as per
manent as the prairies of Nebraska, and
study and practice every element of
success that is open to you and reason
able success will crown your efforts
undjr any conditions in which other
states can exist.
As a remedy for the low price of
wheat, never sell a single bushel at
these prices that you can help. Prices
are certain to be better before you see
another crop. Therefore save carefully
and hold tenaciously every bushel of
first quality that you can. And don't
kill your stock nor give them away, but
carry over to another year on short ra
tions, and green feed every animal that
will bear it, and fatten on cheap low
grade wheat, and feed all that must go
off now. Yes, I say feed your wheat, by
all means. Soak it, grind it, mix it
and feed it carefully in every way that
is practicable. Feed to hogs, horses,
sheep and cattle. Study conditions
carefully and report your success
through your papers and agitate this
matter of feeding jour wheat at home,
and with conditions that confront us
now, this menacing surplus will dis
appear as if by magic, and you will see
a price for wheat before another year
that will surprise you.

Mrs. Carpenter's Tecumsfh Address.
The following address was read be
fore the Populist convention of the First
Congressional district of Nebraska at
Teonmseh on August SO, 1894, by Mrs.
Emma A. Carpenter of that place
She was tendered a rote of thanks and
the address ordered published in all the
Populist papers In the district. Editor
Wealth Makers.
Mr. President aud Gentlemen of the
convention:
Less than 48 hours ago I was request
ed to prepare an address for this con
vention in behalf of woman, and with
great reluctance I complied.
In looking over the situation I see no
political question no phase of political
life that concerns woman but what
equally concerns man. Whatever up
lifts woman is of equal advantage to
men, and whatever tends to her degrada
tion is a menace to the whole human
family.
The divine right to labor Is common
to men and women alike. The right to
the fruits of her toll is woman's as well
as every man's. She has a right to
proper food and olothing, to a comfort
able home, to all educational advant
ages and to tha "pursuit of happiness,"
in all the term Implies. But, Mr. Presi
dent, it is an undeniable fact that
women and men alike are not permitted
the full enjoyment of these rights.
America is noted In song and story as
"The land of the free and the home of
the brave," but It Is as great a mis
nomer as Sherman is a hypocrite
(applause). The man who thinks this
is a government of the people is the
man who does not read and reflect A
government of the people Is one In
whloh the voice of all the people Is
heard, but here, one-half generally
oonceded the better half is excluded.
Gentlemen, we are before you today In
the Interest of this half of humanity
who have no voice in their government,
not because the disfranchisement of
women is the greatest evil, but because
It is one of the evils against which we
must contend. One of the excuses
urged agalnBt plaelng the ballot in the
hands of women is that women are in
capable of governing. Women in the
homes and schools of eur land have not
shown themselves so Incapable. Seventy
five per oent of our teachers are women,
and that is a calling where good gov
ernment is one of the essentials. But
granted that omen do not reach the
ideal as citizens, do you think we could
possibly, In view of the deplorable con
dition of this country today, do worse
than you have done? (cries of no! no!)
Yon, gentlemen, have done about all
that is necessary to enslave a once free
people. The money of the people has
been destroyed, the money of the
plutocrats enthroned. Our national
resources, our mines, our oils, our
forests have been legislated away
from the people into the hands of
monopolies. Our public domain has
been stolen by corporations. Our birth
right has been sold for a mess of pot
tage and when we have asked for a
share of the pottage the armies of the
United States have been brought into
requisition to appease oar appetites,
(Applause.)
Mr. President do you think women
could do worse?
You have elected Grover the First,
and the notorious fifty-third congress
to be dominated by the whisky trust,
the sugar combine and the gamblers of
Wall Street, bringing to our homes
want, degradation, suffering and all
that is pictured of the infernal regions.
Congres has been in session for a year,
and yet we do not clearly realize whether
we have high tariff or low tariff, the
only question of importance before con
gress for some months past being,
"Shall Pullman be sustained?" and
"Did Coxey step on the grass?" (A.p
plause ) But you, gentlemen, as Popu
lists claim no responsibility in this
national farce wiich has been twelve
months in playing. If this is true you
have either (been misrepresented, or
like us (women) not represented at all.
Is this right? Is this just? You hve
our s.i mpathy. Can we claim yours?
(Yes! yes! you have it, etc.)
Now, Mr. President, we come not be
fore this body out of purely selfish mo
tives. We are prompted to take this
step by the same motives which have
prompted this body of representative
men to assemble here today and take
this initiatory 8tp in the government
of this nation. First, we, like you, feel
that it is a necessary step; Second, we
feel that it is a duty that we owe to
ourselves and to posterity to put forth
our best efforts for the suppression of
corruption and the purification of poli
tics. We need not go outside the state of
Nebraska to find abundance of proof of
the perfidy of men in pewer and the
corruption of politics. We find our
legislatures doing the bidding of greedy
corporations. We find our judres
moulding their ''opinions'') in the
Interests of monopoly, and to the detri
ment of the common people. We find
our state officials owned soul and body
by the Mosher ring, and an attempt to
bring a state house thief to answer to
the law is nothing but a farce. We find
our treasury looted and those who have
profited by it are living in high life.
We find our state institutions ruled by
the hand of greed and wealth. The
ruling power in the politics of this state
is the railroad corporations which have
grown opulent at the expense of our
people. All this lavish expenditure Is
paid for by the laboring people and If a
voice is raised ia their behalf it Is
laughed to scorn.
Our brothers and husbands toil at the
plow and in the shop while we are
weighed down with household pares,
and with one voice, as thus we toil, we
cry for justice, but what Is the result?
You know too well the story.
Gentlemen, we are with you in jour
efforts to purify politics and all we ask
is an opportunity to use the ballot, the
weapon that can dethrone kings and
destroy the power of tyrants. We ask
this, not for ovrselves, but for the good
of all. Will you give us this weapon?
You are not afraid we will capture all
the offices? But suppose we should and
should get control of our state institu
tions, do you suppose we could use any
more soap in our laundries, or any more
drugs In our culinary department thaa
Dr. Knapp did? Suppose we had con
trol of the Insane asylum at Lincoln, do
you suppose we in that institution could
nse more than 499 tons of coal in the
month of August? (Laughter.) This is
the exact amount paid for that institu
tion for the month of August. 1891. In
August, 1892, the same institution under
a new administration, used but 70 tons
of coal. Now, we ladles who are not
accustomed to weighing ooal, might not
do quite so well as that, but we believe
we could get along with 400 tons for
August, with a slight Increase for the
month of January and February.
(Laughter and applause.)
There are many other evils we are
anxious to help remedy. Today you
have nominated a man for congress who
stands before the people of this state a
representative and advocate of pure
government and were the women of this
district permitted to vote Mayor Weir
would go to congress with an astonish
ing majority. But, gentlemen, we are
in this work for humanity's sake, and
while you will not permit us to vote,
you cannot keep us out of the news
papers or off the stump, and in spite of
all opposition we will see to it that Mr.
Weir is the next congressman from this
district. (Continued applause.)
Brethren we are with you, the Peo
ple's party is the only party with a re
cord In Nebraska that has eyer recog
nized woman a citizen and a factor in
politics, and we are not only indebted
to you, but our interests are your Inter
ests. We come to you In the name of
humanity, we are anxious to help you
revolutionize our social and political
conditions, and we can do this only by
the ballot. Will you give us that ballot?
(Yes! yes! We will try to, etc.)
The Fertile Saa Liuls Valley.
The San Luis Valley, Colorado, is a
stretch of level plain about as large as
the State of Connecticut, lying between
surrounding ranges of lofty mountains
and watered by the Rio Grande River
and a score or more of 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, which melt and
furnish the Irrigating canals with water
for the farmer's crops. Excepting In
the months of July and August, just be
fore harvest time, there is practically
no rain or snow fall in the valley.
CLIMATE IS UNRIVALED.
The climate is unrivaled almost per
petual sunshine, and the elevation o'
about 7,000 feet dispels all malaria, nor
are such pests as chinch bu?s, weevil,
etc, found there. Flowing artesian
wells are secured at a depth, on an aver-
( age, of about 100 feet and at a cost of
about (25.00 each. Such is the flow
that they are being utilized for irrigat
ing the yards, garden and vegetable
crops. The pressure is sufficient to
carry the water, which is pure, all
through the farmers' dwellings.
IRRIGATION.
Already several thousand miles of
large and small Irrigating canals have
been built and several hundred thou
sand acres of land made available for
farming operations. Irrigation is an
insurance against failure of crops, be
cause success is a question only of the
proper application of water to them.
The loss of a single corn or wheat crop
in Kansas, for instance, would more
than equal the cost of irrigating canals
to cover the entire state, so important
is the certainty of a full crop return to
any agricultural state. The San Luis
Valley will grow spring wheat, oats,
barly, peas, hops, beans, potatoes,
vegetables and all kinds of small fruits,
and many of the hardier varieties of
apples, pears and cherries. In the yield
of all these products it has never been
surpassed by any other section on this
coniineut.
FRTY ACRES ENOUGH LAND.
Forty acres is enough land for the
farmer of ordinary means and help.
Besides the certainty of return, the
yield, under the conditions of proper
irrigation, will average far more than
the 160-acre farms in the Mississippi
and Missouri Valleys, and the outlay
far machinery, farming stock, purchase
money, taxes, etc., are proportionately
less. There are a hundred thousand
acres of such lands located in the very
heart of the San Luis Valley, all with
in six miles of the Denver & Rio Grande
Railroad, convenient to markets and
shipping stations, for sale at prices
varying from 812 50 to 915.00 per acre,
according to location and Improvements.
Most of these lands are fenced and
have been under cultivation and In
many instaaoes have wells and soma
buildings, everything ready to proceed
at onoe to begin farming. A small cash
payment only is required where the
purchaser Immediately occupies the
premises, and long time at s'x per oent
Interest is granted for the deferred pay
mente.
WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH 40 ACRES.
Ten acres should be sown to alfalfa,
which Is a species of rlover. Two full
crops each season can be cut, averaging
at least three tons to the acre, and a
pasturage besides whloh will serve until
winter. This alfalfa field will subsist
horses, cattle and hogs without any
other feed; so also will the hay Itself,
even hogs keeping fat the entire winter
fed upon the hay exclusively. Poultry
also thrive upon the green alfalfa. Like
all clovers It enriches the soil, and ex
traordinary yields of grain crops result
la rotating after It. The ten-acre field
of alfalfa will provide for a team of
horses, five to eight milch cows and
fifty stock hogs.
Ten acres should be devoted to peas,
sugar beets and potatoes, one-half po
tatoes, an acre in beets and the balance
In peas. The peas will yield fifty
bushels to the acre, the beets thirty-five
tons, and the potatoes 200 bushels to the
acre. The peas are excellent feed to
fatten the hogs, and mixed with barley
and oats and ground are excellent for
horses. Used with sugar beets and
alfalfa hay they produce great results
if fed to mlloh cows during the winter.
The potatoes are equal to the best qual
ities of the famous Colorado product
and find ready sale to supply the
markets of the eastern and southern
states at prloes averaging fifty cents a
bushel.
Ten acres of the farm should be de
voted to wheat, whloh will yield, if fol
lowing the potato and beet field, not
less than thirty-five bushels to the acre.
The local mills, of whloh there are sev
eral in the valley are paying at this
time forty-flveoents a bushel, the low
est ever known.
The balance of the farm, aside from
the kitchen garden, should be devoted
te oats and barley, which are quite as
profitable, if marketed outright, as
wheat. Hops grow wild in the moun
tains, and by actual experiment In the
valley it has been proven that In yield
aad in quality they even surpass the
product of Oregon. The poles can be
had for the simple cutting in the moun
tains. There is no rain during picking
season and consequently no mildew or
disaster to contend with. There are
hundreds of thousands of acres of tim
ber in the mountains, from whloh the
settler is free to belect his fuel and
building material without charge,
DAIRYING AND POTATOES.
The owner of suoh a forty-acre farm,
under present conditions, should make
specialties of dairying, in which the
pure, lowing artesian water of unvary
ing enantity and temperature, is an
important factor, and the potato crop.
The free mountain ranges and the
abundant forage on the farm should
enable the farmer to fatten a few head
of beeves every year. . The local
markets, including Denver and Pueblo,'
always demand at the highest prices
such products. The fertilizers result
ing from such operations, together with
the rotation after alfalfa, will sustain
the very highest fertility. Irrigation
will itself almost maintain the virgin
fertility of the soil.
Work horses, milch cows, stock hogs
and poultry, can be purchased at rea
sonable prices in the valley. Farming
implements, dry goods, groceries, cloth
ing, etc., can be procured at Alamoosa
at Chicago prices and about ten per
cent additional. There are scattering
farmers, towns and settlements, and a
total population in the valley, al
together, of about 15,000 people.
The farmer should have at least
1300.00 In cash when he arrives in the
valley, and, it is presumed, bedding,
clothing, and a few articles of indis
pensable furniture besides. If so pro
vided, he can join with some neighbor
in the purchase of a team horses,
wagon and harness plow and harrow,
which will cost him for his share,
$100.00. Material for a house and
stable, $50 00; seed, $75.00; two cows,
$35.00; 'poultry, $10.00: groceries, etc.,
$30.00. This will carry the family
through until the garden and the har
vest field will make their returns.
More cows can be purchased on six or
twelve months' tin e, so also can a part
of the purchase money on the team and
wagon be deferred. Of course with
such limited means the accommodations
would be primitive, but will serve to
keep the family comfortable until re
