A POPULIST FINANCIAL SYSTEM.
Our Exchanges are Asked to Consider
This Plan in All Its Provisions.
ETTEE THAN OAELISLE'S FLAK
The Secretary of the Treasury has pub
lished a plan to get rid of what green
backs we havt left, and bestow upon
batkers alone the power to issue fiat
money, money that has no intrinsic value
in it, but which, being clothed with the
power to make exchanges, they can loan
to the people and draw from them for
the use of mere pieces of paper an enor
mous amount of usury and wealth. His
plan is unjust, unequal, uncont titutional.
It would be'class legislation of the worst
eort. A better plan for providing safef
Bound, sufficient currency must be found,
and we propose the following:
Repeal all laws permitting private cor
porations to issue their notes for use as
money.
Enact a law providing that every state
may make and deposit non-negotiable
bonds in the United States Treasury in
sums not to exceed in the aggregate twen
tyflve per cent of the actual value of its
taxable property, and that for bonds so
made and deposited as security, bearing
an annual revenue to the government of
cfte-half of one per cent, it shall be per
mitted to draw from the Treasury ninety
per cent of their face value in coin or
greenback dollars, which shall be full
legal tender for all debts public and pri
vate. By sta te laws that may be enacted such
state bonds shall be in quantity dupli
cates of county bonds deposited with the
state treasurers, county bonds to be
issued to provide only what money each
county needs, and to be limited also to
twenty-five per cent of each county's
taxable property, and made to bear to
the state one per cent annual interest.
For each deposit of county bonds with
the State Treasurer the state shall de
posit tha same emount of state bonds in
the United States Treasury, and the
money which shall be advanced on such
bonds wiittli be paid directly to the prop
er officials of the counties whose bonds
are deposited as security with the state.
The funds so provided and secured by
boads shall constitute the capital for
county government banks which shall be
ir. charge of regularly elected county
(bank) officials whose bonds shall be ap
proved in four times the sum the people
may have on deposit at any one time.
The presidents, cashiers andIirectors of
; these public banks shall be paid reason
able, fixed salaries.
The counties shall each provide their
banking representatives the necessary
Bafety deposit vaults, fire proof safes and
other needed furniture, blank books, etc.,
to conduct the entire loan, deposit and
exchange business of the people of the
tounty, furniture to also include a com
plete set of abstracts of titles of all real
estate in the county.
Tha county government banks shall be
j law required to receive all surplus
cash which individuals may wish to de
posit, and to pay back to depositors the
full amount of their deposits, but no in
terest shall be paid on such deposits.
Loans applied for shall be piissed upon
by a board of three bank directors, who
must be agreed that the security is worth
at least double the amount of the loan
desired. Finding the security amply
sufficient, loans shall be made on im
proved farms in size not exceeding 640
acres, up to half their selling value, at
: two per cent peraunum. Oi homesteads
in town (lots built on and owned by th
parties living on them), minin g towns
excepted, loans limited to 33 per cent
of their cash value shall be made at two
percent. On business property up to
33 per cent of its cash value loans aV
two per cent may be made, provided the
owner does not possess more than a half
block of such property. On warehouse
receipts for grain and cotton stored in
county, state orgovernmont warehouse,
loans at two per cent may be made up to
60 per cent of their market value. Per
sonal security for thirty, sixty and ninety
days, or fractions thereof, may be taken
when notes are signed by three partie? ol

John Fitzgerald Dead.
Hon. John Fitzgerald, Lincoln's most
wealthy citizen, died of paralysis Sun
day at 2:30 a. m. He leaves a wife and
four children and an estate valued at
$2,000,000. It is understood that he
left no will, but that he instructed
his wife, prior to his death, as to what
he wanted done with his property. It
is largely composed of real estate and
scattered through Gage and Jefferson
counties, while our thousand acres
are located near Greenwood. He' has
something like thirty acres of land
almost in the heart of the city. He
owned interest in the West Lincoln
stock yards and Lincoln hotel, was a
member of the firm of I'lummer, Perry
& Co., and had a large number of
houses and blocks in Lincoln which
are rented out to tenants. He has
stock in the First National bank of
Lincoln, the First National bank of
Greenwood and in a bank at l'latts
tnouth. He has sUso real estate inter
ests in the latter place.
in ousiness in the community and pos
sessed of ample property to collect the
debt by law, such loans to be discounted
at one-half to one per cent.
Above rates to be reduced to cost o
conducting the business when fount?
above it, as doubtless would be the cs
as soon as all' money came to be deposit
ed in the government banks and all loan
ing should be done by the people's
banks.
The above plan, would make losses ex
ceedingly small if adopted with al'. the
safeguards, profits even at these
rates, cut down to perhaps one
per cent, over labor cost, would
much more than make good such
possible losses. The tax-payers would
thus be secured by the profits exceeding
losses, and by ample bonds against the
occasional dishonesty of an official of
"their own selecting. The state would be
secured against any fraudulent or over
valuation of particular counties by a
state board of tax rate or valuation
equalizers and by the entire taxable
property of each county, and the nation
al government would besecu'redabsolnte
ly in its state loans by the state bonds
deposited in the U. S. Treasury. There
would be no more money called for (or
bonds given) than the people with secur
ity judge they individually need to em
ploy labor, and if money could be bor
rowed of county government banks at
rates, say, not to exceed one per cent a
year above the labor cost of loaning it,
all private money loaners would be driven
out of business and their, money would
either be turned into more labor-employ,
ing capital or directly deposited with the
government and so would go into the
circulation without enforcing usury trib
ute. The volume of money would not be
greatly increased by the system we pro
pose, because with government banks
furnishing money at cost it would draw
all money not for the present needed hj
individuals to their care for absolute sr
curity, and when deposits exceeded de
mands bonds could be paid off and can
celled. But an amountof perpetual state
bonds drawing only one-half of one per
cent a year and of county bonds drawing
one per cent a year should be kept de
posited and not paid on, to suppu se
curity to the government for whatever
money can be used profitably as capital
and is needed in excess of coin to inak
additional state charge would be some
more than the labor cost of this machin
ery of credit, but it would not be a bur
den, for it would furnish an income that
would reduce other taxation. There
would be no interest tax, except the
slight one going to the government.
Now are there any who wiM object to
the above financial system.
Yes, the bankers will object to it; all
who own bank stock will call it frightfu1
names. It is not in their special interest,
as are the Baltimore and Carlisle plans'
Were it to be enacted into law the money
power would be destroyed and honest la
bor would be enthroned. It would pro
vide capital at nearly labor cost for those
who new must pay from five to a hun
dred per cent a year bonus for it. It
would prevent panics and periodsof com
mercial paralysis and enforced idleness
and starvation. It is a just currency
eystem that would bring to the masses
unheard of prosperity, therefore the
classes, the bankers especially, will view
it with alarm and will frighten foolc
with their cries of, "Socialism!"

The dues of the National Alliance have
heretofore been paid from the State Alli

Alliance expects each Alliance to pay its
national dues separately from the state
dues. Owing to the reinstatement of so
many delinquent Alliances without pay
ment of bock dues there is now no money
on hand in the state treasury to pay na

CHICAGOIANS BUY COAL. LANDS,
A Syndicate Formed Which is Said
to Have Invested $1,000,000.
A coal syndicate formed of Chicago
capitalists is said to have purchased val
uable coal properties within the past few
days. C. It. Kelsey, who is interested in
the transaction, is to be made manager
of the properties. Thesum paid was said
to be $1,600,000 and the deal includes
the Vandyke, Sweetwater and Rock
Spring coal company properties. The
names of the members of the syndicate
are for the present withheld. Lee & Law
rence, attorneys, have represented the
purchasers, but claim not to know who

From a New Subscriber in Colorado,
Denver, Colo., Dec. 24, 1894
Editor Wealth Makers:
A chance copy of your paper came to
my notice some few days ago, and tb
able manner in which it is edited and the
pointed and interesting letters it contains
from some of its contributors, induces
me to subscribe, although I am already
taking five or six different reform papers,
Colorado was in about the same polit
ical fix as Nebraska as regards fusion
and I am glad to see such able corre
spondents as Mrs. Kellie and others sit
down on it "with both feet," so to speak
If Democracy is bad, then Populism
becomes equally so by fusion; and I hope
the Populists who again fuse with either
old party in any state, or part of a state,
will be snowed under so deep they will
never again be heard of.
Fusion was one of the causes that led
to detent in this state. One of the hope
ful smut tor a better condition of a com
mon people in the future is the great in
terest springing up throughout thecoun
try in co-operative colonies, there is
scarcely a state in the union which has
not one or more of some kind of co-oper
ative colony enterprise either in success
ful operation or in forming and I notice
with pleasure that your paper is encour
aging this grand movement.
Some of the leading Populists of this
state, including state senators and rep-
organized the Colorado Co-operative col
ony to construct a ditch in Montrose
county which will irrigate about 30,000
acres, I am told, of very line tend.
, This tract is all government land, and
can be taken' by members of the colony.
Water will be sold to none but members,
and, by the -way, I am told they are all
Populists. The land will be held and
worked by members in severalty, co-operating
in all public utilities and distri
bution, and any way the members can
mutually agree upon.
A town will be laid out in the middle
of the tract and all members will have a
building lot where they can live and go
out to their land or farms if they so de
sire. Water will be furnished at cost,
and all manufocturies will be operated
by the company. .
, This is a most interesting organization
of people and I think one of the most
practical of the kind ever organized Mr.
J. S. Bartow, a printer and publisher of
several weekly papers, is the correspond
ing secretary. His little printing otfice
at No. 1427 Arapahoe street is a hive of
industry, and although a cripple he can
do more work than any man I ever saw.
Yours very truly, C. E. Smith.

PEESIDEHT SOHUBZ ADDRESS
How the Spoils System Woiks The
Most Corrupt Men- Become Our
j Lawmakers and Retain Place
and Power by Means of
Bribery.
Populists Mast Press 1Mb Reform,
The annual meeting of the National
Civil Service Reform league wa held in
Chicago Dec. 12th and 13th, President
Carl jSchura presiding. Mr. Schurz' an
nual address is given in the Times of
Dee. 13th, in part, and is a powerful ar
raignment of the spoils system, He said
in part: "
"What civil service reform demands is
simply that the business part of the gov
ernment shall benarriod on in a sound
business-like manner. This seems so ob
viously reasonable that among people of
common sense there should be no two
opinions about it. And the condition of
things to be reformed is so obviously un
reasonable, so .flagrantly absurd and
vicious, that we should not believe it
could possibly exist among sensible peo
ple, una we not necome accustomed to
its existence among ourselves. In truth,
we can naraiy bring the whole exorbit
ance of that viciousuess and absurdity
home to our own minds unless we con
template it aa reflected in the mirror of
a simile.
"Imagine, then, a bank, the stockhold
ers of which, many in number, are divid
ed into two factions let us call them the
Jones party and tht Smith party who
quarrel about some question of business
policy as, forinstance, whether the bank is
to issue currency or not. The Jones party
is in control, but the Smith men per
suade over to their side a sufficient num
ber of Jones men to give them the
Smith men a majority ofthe next stock
holders' meeting.'" Thus they succeed in
getting the upper hand. They oust the
old board of directors, and elect a new
board consisting of Smith men. The new
Smith board at once remove all the offi
cers, president, cashier, tellers, bookkeep
ers and clerks down to the messenger
boys the good and the bad alike sim
ply because they are Jones men, and fill
their places forthwith with new persons,
who are selected not on the ground that
they have in way proved their fitness for
the positions so filled, but simply because
they are Smith men; and those ot the
smith men who have shown the greatest
teal and skill in getting a majority of
votes for the Smith party are held to
have the strongest claims for salaried
places in the bank. The new men strug
gle painfully with the duties novel to
them until they acquire some experience,
but even theu it needs in many instances
two men or more to do the work of one.
"In the fourse of events dissatisfaction
spreads amoug the etockolders with the
Smith management, partly shared by
mbitious Smith men who thought them
selves entitled to reward in the shape of
places and salaries, but were left 'out in
the cold.' ftow the time for a new stock
holders' meeting arrives.. After a hot
light the Jones party carries the day.
he ticker of directors being elected, off
20 the heads of the Smith president, the
Smith cashier, the Smith teller, the Smith
bookkeepers and clerks, and they afe re-
lacea Dy trne-uiue Jones men who havo
one the work of the campaign and are
expected to do more of it when the next
lection comes. And so the career of the
bank goes on with its periodical clmnges
party in power at longer or shorter
nrervals, and its correspondingly clean
sweeps of the bank service, with misman
agement and occasional fraud and pecu
lation as inevitable incidents.
"You might watch the proceedings of
such a banking concern with intense cu
riosity and amusement. But I ask you
what prudent man among you would de-
osit hit money m it or invest in its
tock? And why would you not? He-
cause you would think that this is not
sensible men s business, but foolish boy's
lay, that such management would nec
essarily result in reckless waste and dis
honesty, and tend to land many of the
bank ollicers in Canada, and not a few of
ts depositors or investors m the poor-louse.-
Such would bo your judgment.
and in pronouncing it you would at the
same time pronounce judgment upon the
manner in which the business part of our
national government, as well asof many,
if not most, of state and municipal gov
ernments, have been conducted for sev
eral generations. This is the spoils sys-
em. And 1 have by no means prewented
an exaggerated or even a complete pic
ture of it, nay, rather a mild sketch, indi
cating only with faint touches the de
moralizing influences exercised by that
V8tiu with such baneful effect upon the
whole political life of the nation.
"Looking at the financial side of the
matter alone, it is certainly bad enough;
ndeeu it is almost incomprehensible how
the spoils system could be permitted
through scores of years to vitiate our
business methods in the conduct of the
national revenue service, the postal ser
vice, the Indian service, the public land
service, involving us in indescribable ad
minititrative blunders, bringing about
Indian wars, causing immense losses in
the revenue, breeding extravagant and
plunderfng practices in all departments.
costinn our people in the course ot ti me
ant old hundreds of millions of money
and making our government one of the
most wasteful in the world. All this, I
say is bad enough. It might be called
discreditable enough, to move any self
respecting people to shame. But the
spoils system has inflicted upon the
American people injuries far greater than
thOHP. ,
"The spoil system, that practice which
turns public offices, high and low,, from
Cublic trusts to objects of prey and
ooty for the victorious party, may
without extravagance of language be
called one of the greatest criminals in
our history, if not the greatest. In the
whole catalogue o! our ills there is none
more dangerous to the vitality of our
freo institutions.
"It tends to divert the whole political
uie from its true aims. It teaches men
to seek something else in politics dan
the public good. It puts mercenary set
fishnees as the motive power for political
action in the place of public spirit, and
organizes that selfishness into a domin
ant political force.
BR1NOB BAD ELEMENTS FORWARD.
"It attract to active party politics
the worst elements of our population,
and with them crowds out the best. It
transforms political parties from asso
ciations of patriotic citizens, formed to
serve a public cause, into bands of mer
cenaries using a cause to serve them, it
perverts party contests from contentions
of opinion into scrambles lor plunder,
By stimulating the mercenary spirit it
promotes the corrupt use of money in
party contests and in elections.
"It takes leadership of political organ
izations out of the hands of men fit to be
leaders of opinion and workers for high
aims, and turns it over to the organizers
and leaders of bands of political maraud
ers. It creates the boss and the ma
chine, putting the bos iuto the place ot
statesman aud the despotism of the ma
chine in the place oi an organized public
opinion.
"It converts the public office-holder.
who should be the servant of the people,
into the servant ot a party or ot an in
fluential politician, extorting from him
time and work which should belong to
the Dubiic and money, which he receives
from the public for public service. It
corrupts his sense of duty by making
him understand that his obligations to
bis party or his political patron is equal,
if not superior., to his obligation to the
public interest, and ,that his continuance
in office does not depend on his fidelity
to duty. It debauches his honesty by se
ducing him to use the opportunities of
his office to indemnify himsel for the bur
dens forced upon him as a party slave.
It undermines in all directions tlio disci
pline of the public service.
"ft falsifies our constitutional system.
It leads to the usurpation, in a large
menxure, of the executive power of ap
pointment by members of the legislative
branch, substituting the irresponsible
views ot personal or party interest lor
the judgment as to the public good and
the sense of the responsibility of the ex
ecutive. It subjects those who exercise
the appointing power, from the president
of the United States, down to the intru
sion of hordes of hungry office-hunters
and their patrons, who rob them of the
time and strength they should devote to
our interest. It has already killed two
of our presidents one, the first Harri
son, by worry, and the other, uarneid,
bv murder and more recently it has
killed a mayor in Chicago and a judge in
Tennessee.
"It degrades our senators and repre
sentatives in Congress to the contempti
ble position ot othce brokers and even of
mere agents of office brokers, making
the business of dickering about spoils as
weighty to them as their duty as letris-
lators. It introduces the patronage as
an agency of corrupt influence between
the executive and the legislature. It
serves to obscure th criminal character
of bribery by treating bribery with offices
as a legitimate practice. It thus recon
ciles the popular mind to practices essen
tially corrupt, aud thereby debauches
the popular sense of right and wrong in
politics.
"It keeps in high political places to the
exclusion of better men, persons whose
only ability consists in holding a per
sonal following by adroit manipulation
of the patronage. It has thus sadly low
ered the standard of statesmanship in
public position, compared with the high
order of ability displayed in all other
walks of life.
COIUU'l'T C1TV GOVERNMENT.
It does more than anything else to
turn out large municipalities into sinks
of corruption, to render Tammany halls
possible, and to make of the police forse
here and here a protector of crime aud
terror t.o those whose safety they are to
guard. It exposes us, by the scandalous
spectacleof its periodical upoilscarnivals,
to the ridicule and contempt of civilized
mankind, promoting amoug our own
people the growth of Berious doubts as
the practicability of democratic institu
tions on a great scale, and in an endless
variety of ways it introduces into our
political life more elements of demorali
zation, debasement and decadence than
any other agency of evil I know of aye,
perhaps more than all other agencies of
evil combined."

General Van Dervoort. ,
Omaha, Deo. 24, 1894.
Editor Wealth Makers:
I quote the following from the Sunday"
issue of the World-Herald: -
"The Democratic Free Silver League
adopted the following silver plank at it
June meeting: ,
"We favor the immediate restoration:
of the free and unlimited coinage of gold
and and silver at the present ratio of 16
to 1, without waiting for the aid or con
sent of any nation on earth." . ,
Then following that is the claim that
Nebraska, Arkansas, South Corolina,
Ohio, Kansas, Wyoming, Colorado, Mon
tana, Utah, California and Idaho Demo,
crats have followed in the wake of the
procession led by Nebraska.
I desire to call attention to the fact
that the People's Party of the United
States held its first national convention
at Omaha, Neb., July 4, 1892, and
adopted the following resolution, which
was simply areiteration of those adopted
at the conferenceof labor orders at Ocala,
Cincinnati and St. Louis:
"We demand free and unlimited coin
age of silver and gold at the present le
gal ratio of 16 to 1."
Would it not be more correct to say
that the People's Party convention was
the real pathfinder? Since that time
the Democratic party has, in a Congress
elected with one hundred majority fcr
free coinage, voted one hundred against
it at ratios of 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 to 1.
The real controlling administration end
of it has repealed every law in favor of
silver. While those who believe that they
"can fool all the people someof the time"
have declared in favor of 16 to 1 and .
then abandoned their party, again re
turn, voted the gold bug Republican
ticket by thousands- aa they did in all
the western states.
This class of so-called free silverites are
now en erased in a desperate attempt to
control the action of the People's Party
conference at St. Louis, December 28th
and 29th, and try to induce them to
adopt a platform that the" revarnished
Democratic party will bodily endorse un
der the leadership of Bryan, Bland and
others.
The real pioneer was the People s-
Party convention at Omaha, which ha
formed iuto line all these states and com
pelled the old parties in all the southern
and western states to adopt their plat
form. .-
No Democrat m the south and west
and no Republican in the west can win,
without declaring in favor of the funda
mental planks of the People's Party plat
form, and no declaration in favor of free
silver will save the rotten built of De
morracy or elect any of its defeated can
didates. In Nebraska as many Demo
crats voted for Majors and Sturdevant
as voted for HoIccmb,and t he candidates
who were left in the lurch on our ticket
can lay a heavy part of the blame on the
policy of. mixing up our fight too niucn
with democracy. You cannot take men
who were former Republicans and vote .
them for Democratic candidates, labeled
even with the sugar coatof free silver and
Bryan. And now you can all see the
policy of absorbing the whole People's
Party, abandoning its platform and fol
lowing into the same camp with the
Blahds and Bryans who are seeking to
destroy our party and resurrect dead and
damned Democracy. , . i
Again the World-Herald savs: 'The
platform of the siver Democracy will be
the platform of 1896." That means of
the national Democracy. I for one do
not propose to be delivered to Democracy
