September 13, 1894 THE WEALTH MAKERS. J 2 Wealth Makers, and' candidates and otners who wish to make use of a lot of extra copies should order them at once. Unless orders are sent in so as to reach us by Monday noon we cannot Increase the number printed and cannot fill such orders. Orders for extra copies will be filled at the rate of 12.00 per hundred. A less or greater number at the same rate. Let all our subscribers who can spare ten, twenty, thirty, forty or fifty cents order copies of this specially valu able vote-making number. Order at once. There are too many Populist candi dates for the next legislature for The Wealth Makers to say something particularly, individually, for them all, glad as we would be to do it. But we take time and space to say that no mora wortbv man has been- named for the legislature than Rev. J. A. Baird of Cedar Rapids. Mr. Baird is an editor, now, instead of a preacher, and his paper, the Populist organ or tsoone conntv. is one of the very best ef our Nebraska exchanges. Mr. Baird is with the foremost thinkers of the times, a man capable of leading, a man who reasons to the base of truth ana wno sees as few do the way out of the wil derness of sin, into the promised land. S?reno effort during the campaign afici on election day to secure votes for Mr. Baird. The Chicago Times, speaking of Senator Jones' leaving the Republican party, has this to Bay: The Populists have gained a strong ally in this Republican rebel. As the Washington correspondent to the Times pointed out, he cannot be charged with making the change in his party allegi ance for anything except patriotic rea sons, since, however great their success the Populists can give him no greater honors than he already enjoys from the Republican party. His change merely indicates that he despairs of the sin cerity of Republican promises of justice to silver and goes to a party of whose devotion there can be no question. Senator Jones is only the first of a pro cession of new recruits for Populism, and unless Democraoy swiftly severs the bonds which are ever tying it closer to plutocracy, the deserters will not all be from Republican ranks. The news that twentj -five per cent of the delegates to the Colorado Populist convention were ladies is a most in teresting piece of information. And no body was shocked. It was the most natural thing in the world, after all; and it is strange that prejudice has so long shut women from what should be the most effective, moral and Christian sphere of action. The ladies of Colo rado take great interest In the social, moral, political questions, and are on aand to help secure good legislators in ' order to have righteous laws. It would be a great help in Nebraska to the people's cause if our wives and sisters were given the ballot with us. The best paid men in America are the lawyers who look after the property and incomes of the millionaires, the rail road kings, etc. They are the men who engineer and fasten the grip of the in creasing monopoly power. They are great on the "rights" of property, but they trample with absolute ruthlessness on the Inalienable rights of man. They haye much to say against anarchy, yet buy laws and lawmakers as we buy tools to farm with. They are more danger ous to the masses and the cause of lib erty than the Benedict Arnolds of his tory. Their pay is greater than the pay of the President of the United States. It is a drawn battle between the cor porations' party and the People's party. The railroads have trampled on the law, as enacted by the Independent legisla ture, two years ago, helped by Repub lican state officials and a Republican v judge. And now, helped by eastern ) caDital and backed bv national politi w clans, they propose to defeat the party " .that fights them by making use of every Apossible Influence ana corrupting force. If all else fails they stand ready to count us out in Omaha and other places. Let it be everywhere sounded out: that this political fight is the corporations versus the people. Which side are you on? There is a great power in popular songs to draw crowds and stir up enthu siasm. No one is so prejudiced he will not hear the truth If it is sung, Re member this, and Bee the local com mittees who have in hand the prelimin ary work of getting ready for Populist rallies, and press upon their attention the need of haviDg some good singers practicing on our Armageddon songs. See that a half dozen or more song books are ordered of us at once for these meetings. There Is really wonderful thrilling, arousing and entertaining power in these songs. The work each and every patriot has to do between now and November, is to make and gather up Populist voters. There is no work of such pressing, vital, far-reaching importance. "Do welTthy part." Talk with your neigh bors. Put The Wealth Makers into their hands. Get them out to htar sy Populist speakers. Bring them to the polls prepared to vote right on election day. Devote time and thought and strength and means to this great work of recovering our state and nation from the grasp of the corporations. TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS! We are this week sending out hund reds of notices of expiration of subscrip tion to our subscribers. The amount that each one owes ns is small, but in the aggregate It foots up hundreds of dollars, and to carry these delinquent subscribers is a great burden on us. Very many have written us to not stop the paper, saying they can not get along without iU and will send in their renewal as soon as possible. Now friends, think a moment. Is It not easier for you to raise the one dollar that you owe us, than it is for us to raise hund reds of dollar every month to pay the expense of sending The Wealth Makers to you? We know that times are hard, but we also know that paying a subscription to a newspaper is very often a matter of neglect. We know that if you can be brought to realize how absolutely necessary it is that you pay your subscription as soon as it ex pires, you will promptly remit and not allow us to send you the paper for months at our own expense. We know you wish to be fair with us, but we want you to thiniol the inconveni ence you are putting us to, thoughtless ly perhaps, by not paying us the small amount due us. Our expenses are heavy and must be nut promptly. We are depending on you, friends, to do your duty. Just now, while you think ot it, will you not sit down, write us a letter and enclose the amount due us, for which you already have value received. We are sure The Wealth Makers is a welcome visitor to your home and that you do not want it discontinued. It is working for your interest, it is fighting your battles. The kind words you have said of us, through the paper and otherwise, we fully appreciate, and they encourage us to greater effort, but they will not pay for paper, rent and labor. We must have your financial support. We know of several leading weekly papers in Nebraska that will hereafter be issued monthly on account of hard times. The Wealth Makers can not cut its expenses down in this way. We must and will come out on time every week, or the cause will suffer. As the chief exponent of the People's Independent party of Nebras ka, The Wealth Makers has a re sponsiblity that you must help us to bear. We have faith in you, enough to believe that you will do your part to the uttermost There is no reason why he state paper should not have 50,000 subscri bers, and we intend to get them, but you must help us. It will be a long, hard struggle, but with your help we shall succeed. It is of especial importance that the circulation of The Wealth Makers be increased as much as possible in the beginning of the campaign. Now is the time to work. Let us hear from you. Address all letters regarding subscrip tio to Wealth Makers Pub. Co. J. S. Hyatt, Bus. Mgr. Ten cents for the campaign. Only ten cents. Send in s list of on-the-fence voters and order The Wealth Maeers sent them till election. Senator Jokes of Nevada, as brainy a man as the nation contains and rec ognized by the Republican party as ranking with the ablest intellects of the world, has publicly left the Republican party and joined the Populists. But it will still be in order for the men who know nothing except what they, as parrots, are taught, to repeat that the Populists are cranks and visionaries. A man must have some capacity for original thinking to be a Populist. Majors named all the Llneoln dele gates to the Republican state conven tion, and the B. & M. passed them to Omaha and return, the conductor not even entering the car. And the Lan caster delegation indicated unmistak ably the railroad ascendancy Its absolute control of the party. It was a corpora tion packed convention, the best Repub licans (not Rose water alone) being in evidence. Tom Muobs, the R. R. candidate for governor, was billed to speak in Omaha a few days ago and drew an audience of 300. "Cyclone" Davis and John H. Powers on but one day's notice, speak ing for the Populist cause and ticket, called out 5,000 people to hear them. Straws tell. The administration Democrats will not vote for Thomas in the Third dis trict. It is therefore certain that other votes for him will be wasted. The anti monopoly Democrats cannot help see ing this, and may therefore be counted on to vote for Devlne.'who can and will be elected. Don't forget that our new song book Is something fine. Twe years work in it, A collection of thrilling words and new music written for the times. Jus what is wanted to lead our hosts to victory. Order at once of The Wealth Makers, Lincoln, Neb. Let clubs, legions and local commit tees take advantage of our ten cent offer for the campaign and order The Wealth Makers sent to prepared lists of voters. Attend to this at once, or as soon as you can. THE HEW 805Q BOOK The new song book, Armageddon, is being enthusiastically received. The book is larger than we expected it would be.

The September Review of Reviews gives the progress of the world and says of the Democratic party that: "Its principal achievement has been the creation of the income tax system about which there has never been so much as a favorable hint in any Democratic platform. Coming Into power witb awful anathemas against the trusts and monopolistic corporations which the Republican party was accused ot foster ing by its tariff policy, this Democratic congress has confessedly played Id to the hands of these very combinations at nearly all the points of crucial test " There is an Interesting paper on politi cal Japan and its leaders; a paper by the editor on The New Hawaiian Con stitution; an article by Hon.

HARDY FURNITURE COMPANY, 211 So 1Kb Street - - - LINCOLN, NEB. Irrigated Farm Lands -IN FERTILE SAM LUIS THE SAN LUI8 VALLEY, COLORADO, is a stretch ot level plain about as large as tne 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 waa 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 grsat deposits of snow, which melt and furnish the irrigating canals with water for the farmers' 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 the flow that they are being util ized for irrigating the yards, garden and vegetaole crops. The pressure is sufficient to carry the water, which is pure, all through the farmers' dwell ings. Irrigation. Already several thousand miles of large and small 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 Instance, would more than equal the cost of irrigating canals to cover the entire state, so impo 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 oi all these products it has never been surpassdd by any other sec tion on this continent. Forty Acres Enough Land. Forty acres is enough land for the farmer of ordinary means and help. Be sides the certainty of return, the yield, under the conditions of proper irri gation, will average far more than the 160-acre farms in the Mississippi and Missouri Valleys, and the outlay for machinery, farming stock:, pur chase money, taxes, etc., are proportionately less. There are a hundred thousand acres of such lands located in the very heart of the San Luis Val ley, all within six miles of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad, convenient markets and shipping stations, for sale at $15-00 per acre. Most of these lands are fenced and have been under cultivation and in many instances have wells and seme buildings, everything ready to proceed at once to be gin farming, A small cash payment only is required where the purchaser immediately occupies the premises, and long time at seven per cent, inter est is granted for the deferred payments. A Specially Low Homeseekers Rate will be made you, your family and friends. A large party will leave for the Valley on Sept. 1st, 11th, 25th, and Oot. 9th. Should you settle on these lands the amount you paid for railroad fare will be credited to you on your payments; and remember the land is perfectly and thoroughly irrigated, and the land and perpetual water rights are sold you for less than other sections ask for simply the water rights without the land. No better lands exists any where on earth. For further particulars, prices of land, railroad fare, and all other information call on or address, F. Li. MIjlR-Y", Mention this paper.
