In New Zealand by a recent law th highest salary which can ba paid a gov eminent official is $4,000 per annum. The salaries of office holders in the Unit ed States could be cut down 50 per cent, and there would still be left twice aa many office seekers as are needed. Hilton would seem to be the sort of a man for inspector that the Standard Oil Trust can make use of. A collector 0 95,000 iees for what he did not do, and which he nsesrts are illegal, that he may retain them in accounting to the state, would doubtless allow hia stencils to be used in stamping dangerous imflammable oil. The labor question cannot be settled for a pnrt till it is settled for all. Th people who must work to live cannot bo kept at work unless all men work 'and either voluntarily or of necessity exercise honesty in exchanging all their products. If some accumulate by the laborof other those who work eannot be kept steadily producing. ''The last insolent demand of th goldites." is what ex-Governor Proctor Knott of Kentucky calls the gold bond scheme of the Rothschilds which Cleve land tried to force upon congress. They have failed for the preoent; because they did not keep within the decent historic precedents of requesting not to exceed half of the kingdom. Jok Burns and John C. Fremont Mc Kettoon are a fair type of Lancaster county Republicans. They are the hon orable. men, chosen to make laws for th people by the Republican party. Joe has apparently made a combination, trading his vote and influence with other rascals to get arouud the present law and place a saloon at Burlington Beach. And it need be McKesson, the sanctimonious Sunday school hypocrite, can be couuted on to vote for that which "bitetb like a serpent." McKesson is the cheap, willing tool of th B. & M. r LET US ISBUiw. 0U2SELYE8 Mr. J. II. Wilson of th Atlas Insur ance Company, of Manchester, England, in a paper read before th Insurance Association of that city, on nw fields for insurance, suggested that the companies insure people's wages incase th premise where they work are burned. He pro posed also that they insure subscription to public institution, such as exchanges, clubs, etc., and for pew rents and school fees in case bnilding is burned. H farther advocated insurance of rents and trade profits (think of itl); insurance against storms and inundations; iosur anoe against loss or impairment of any of the faculties, such as sight, hearing or speech; and against libel suits. Mr. Wilson also read a letter from a member of "the Llodd's" which say "the underwriter will accept nearly ever conceivable risk at a premium," and thea instances the following: "profits in trade; chances of twins; earthquakes; animals in transit; civil commotions and riots; speculative risks; lives of royal person ages and others; loss of trade through the possibility of marriages not coming off; speculative risks on overdue ships in which the insurer has no concern; war risks; proceeds of convicts," Ac. The profits drawn by the insurance bus iness in the main lines of fire and life ar so great that new fields, as suggested above, are being sought out, including insurance to even cultivate the gambling spirit pure and simple. Th old line in surance companies in the United States and throughout the world have filched in premiums from the people vast capital which is largely invested in enormous office buildings and rent-commanding real estate in the principal cities. Their increasing capital is not a benefit to, but a fast-growing, dangerous burden upon the people. And with all the commissions paid to their great army of local agents, and the ascending seal of salaries paid to state agents and higher officials up t presidents, bear in mind that underwrit ing or insuring is not in any degree a productive business. It is all loss to th wealth producing class. The people pay for insurance In so-called standard com panies about ten dollars for every dollar paid back to them for losses. The whole system of old-line insurance is a schema to draw money from the people without giving value for it. It is a scheme t cover robbery under the name of risk. And it is an enormously laborious and therefore wastefully expensive method of robbing. The agents who write insur ance and draw twenty dollars for every two returned work about as hard to get the money out of the people as it would take them to produce a like value. And all this is a part of the penalty of indivi. dualism, the each-for-himaelf struwrle with its multiplication of risks of lif and property. It mutualism should tak the place of individual. am I f, tire, stum and other insurance would be all eecureu without labor. All the labor and calcu lating now done by it at loss to the peo ple would be saved. Let us insure our selves against all losses, and no longer pay ten dollars for one. THE DfN8L8 Or LIBERTY Competition, each for himself, charity. Do these work well together and make the best social relations and results pos sible? Is there enough charity to cover the multitude of sins which make up the selfish struggle? Not n ten-thousandth part enough. That which men struggle with one another to gain, they will not give. Charity is a work of supererogation if each earns what he gets. It makes the giver a god, the receiver less than a man In theory competition is justified be cause freedom and equal opportunities to labor are alleged to be guaranteed. They no longer exist. Competition for places to work, with too many workers for the places, is greatly different from competition between free, independent, equal workers. Competition cannot, has not, guarded the liberties and natural rights of competing individuals. It tears down and obliterates the standard of right, of labor equities, aud has elevated the standard of might. And the strong and cunning have not been satisfied with what advantage they first gained in pri vate contracts with the less shrewd aud those pressed by need, but have carried their craft and power into politics and legislation to rule there. Chartered mono polies and special privileges of great power and value have been craftily secured, by which the masses of the peo ple are brought under tribute, and with this enforced tribute the necessary basis of all independence is being bought up in the markets and the workers are being sunk deeper and deeper into wage and monopoly-market slavery. Competition, or the commercial and industrial struggle between those at liberty to contract, led to the moderate enrichment of some and the impoverishment of others, a greater number. The rich, having meaus and leisure, were not slow to take advantage of special legislation for themselves, and in this new field the poor could not' meet them at all. So the liberty to engage in an individual struggle and make con tracts one with another has led, first by private contracts between individuals, to considerable wealth inequalities; second, to the rule of the rich and crafty in legislation, which has, by corporation Drivileees. built up monopolies: and these monopolies, unless by law destroy' ed, must go on gathering in the labor products and natural resources of thi people until all the workers are reduced to the worst iorm anu conditions slavery. To obtain freedom there must organization, but selfishness will not bind the poor together as it does the rich. A closer bond is necessary. Th direct individual benefit is not great enough, and tb direct sacrifice of indi vidual good required is too great to allow th binding firmly together of th maaaea by means of the principle of self. interest or selfishness. Self-interest or the selfish spirit serves to bind capital together because of the great gain, tb monopoly plunder, it enables them to reach. A stronger bond must ba found for those whom they plunder. If such can be created the rule of the selfish rich can be broken by it, not otherwise. Individualism, self-centered, struggling, buying-and-selling antagonists, dooms the many to slavery. Individualism in politics is fast destroying and must if it continues entirely destroy industrial democracy, equality of birth conditions and opportunities. Individualism has already given birth to monopolies which have eaten it np, and which seated npon thrones of power dispense commercial and industrial despotism. Organisation of a higher, of the highest, order is alone able to restore liberty to the workers. Moral law must be proclaimed; selfish ness must be shown to be anarchy, lead ing to slavery; the interest of all must be shown to be one and nndivisible; that in sacredly guarding others' rights, equities, interests, our own can alone be preserved. Moral law requiring com. mercial equities, the equities of recognis ed equal rights and duties, must be accepted; or we shall laps back into barbarism, as the nations before ns have done. TEE SOUTH BOUIDON FHAVOE The South Carolina senat last week adopted th Ocala platform which is also th Omaha platform, adopted by the Populists in national convention.and by joint resolution requested congress to enact it into law. We reprint from th Daily Caucasian the report of the stats senate's action, below: 20, senate resolution, of instruction to our senators and representatives in con gress requesting them to use all means n their power to secure such legislation as will give ns the free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. UHWborne, submitted as an amendment to the resolution: First. We demand a national currency safe, sound and flexible issued . by tha government only, a full legal tender for all debts, public and private, and that wit hout the use of banking corporations; a just, equitable and efficient means of istributing direct to the people at a tax not to exceed '2 per cent, as set forth by the sub-treasury plan orsome better sys tem; also, by payments in discharge of its obligations aud for i public improve ments. Second. We demand the free and un limited coinaire of gold and silver at the legal ratio of 16 to 1. Third. Ws demand that the amount of the cirrulaiing im UiUiii te increuwii in at leant 50 per capita exclusive of legal reerves. The Mewborne motion carried by a vote of 26 ayes to 1 5 noes. This is a pointer that northern and western Pop ulists would do well to give attention to. The opposition to the Populist platform was of course old party opposition. Th south is solid for money at cost. THE CATTLE TakfR REPORTS I am from the regenerated west, where the bison and the Populist no longer bel low and cavort; where fusion is confused, and where the political ragtag and bob tail have taken to the woods. The west is once more Republican and American. (Applause.) Strong in the knowledge ol her power, her com in it empire, she leaves sectionalism and provincialism for those who educate their children, spend their vacations and receive their political ideas abroad. So Senator John M. Thurstoa begaa his speech in New York City at the hug meeting called to honor Abraham Lin coin, Feb. 12. Great way to begin a eulogy on the first of Populists, th mightiest champion of "the great plain people." Fine taste, this corporation attorney shows.in his classification of the Nebraska Populists with cattle. And he rubs in the insult by intimating that the last campaign tamed them into submis sion, seems to be trying to convince himself that the people who placed a governor over all the state, Republican included, will hereafter be patient oxen and wear the yoke forever. Don't try to so fool yourself or any body else John. The people have beea patient till all hope of justice was lost They can no longer be fooled by names and promises and ancient history. Th woods are full of Populists, and don't you allow it to slip from your disagree able recollections. The West is aware of her needs and tights and can no longer be held down while being robbed by talk about protecting the workers from "the pauper labor of Europe." Too much pauper labor and too many millions who can't get labor even at starvation prices in America for such language to have force. That vote against Cleveland's gold bond bill which stood 163 to 165 is an interesting study. The eaet (to th Potomac and Ohio) favored the bill by a vote of 80 to 6; the west and south opposed by a vote of 156 to 55. Of th 6 eastern votes against the bill five were Republicans, and but nine of the 55 western votes were Republicans. The vote on the bill to retire all legal tender cunency except gold, indicated that the Democratic party is rapidly drifting to ward monometallism and bank money The prospect of its splitting in two,, the East portion from the West, is good, it there is any sand in the western article. THE U- P. REPUBLIC iH HOUSE Representative Howard asked unani mous consent for the reading and con sideration of the following resolution: "Watrta.

Chapman at once objected to the con sideration of the resolution at the time, and Howard moved a suspension of the rules. Rhodes of Valley seconded the motion. Howard called for the yeas and Rhodes again seconded. The yeas and nays were called and the motion to sus pend the rules was defeated by a vote of 67 to 28, the Republicans voting solidly against it. News. The Republicans elected a U. P. attor ney for U. S. senator, and if they had voted for the resolution, they would have thereby instructed him to work for the interest of the people instead of for the U. P. R. R., and that would not look well. It might be well to give the Republican delegation in Washington a hint that a few such notes as the one above referred to will knock them out of the ranks of Republican party, in this state. Ir Adam had worked every day, Sun day excepted, for 6,000 years, and saved a dollar a day from his wages, he would have had at present $1,878,000. But ii be had quit work the first day and put his single dollar at interest at five per cent a year, and re-invested tb interest each year at the same rate, in only 930 years, the period of his life, he would have accumulated a value expressed in quin tillions of dollars, "a sum millions of times greater than the present value of the whole earth." If he had invested it in land and bought np first the entire arth and after it the rest of the solar system, and continued to gather in the fying worlds of space, he would by this timehaveowned not only the Milky Way with its 18,000,000 suns and hundreds of millions of attendant worlds, but also all theoutlying telescopic clustersof stars like tba Milky Way, six thousand of which (clusters) have been seen in space; and with th material universe bought and paid for ont of his very moderate five per cent usury "Old Adam," with greed un satisfied, would have to buy up Heaven and the throne of the Almighty or else the pit of Hell to get room for his ever multiplying accumulations. Gold, gold, gold. Bright and yellow, hard and cold, Htavy to eat sad llvbt to hold. Uoardad and bartered, bought and and told " The power of gold to roband curse and ruin is not natural, but legal. It is not God-made, but man-made. It is tl power of a privately controlled medium of exchange. Its power to injure is it power to shut up th opportunities to labor and command usury or interest be fore they can be opened. Demonetize it and its power to block the wheels of in dustry will be destroyed. Demonetize both gold and silver and provide an ex change medium made of United States notes issued for services rendered and np on securities furnished, and regulate the value of the dollar and the volume being Bseo by a system of government banks, and at th same time by legislation pre vent the growth of land monopoly, and a monstrous power of oppression will be overthrown. Mr. Smitb works twelve hours a day, all the year round, raising grain and meat and wool and produce for his own family and Mr. Brown's. Brown works twelve hours a day all the year round mining, in order to get enough gold to pay for his part of what Smith raises. Now it Brown would just leave the gold in the mountain and put in his time helping Smith raise the food and clothing, they could each work six hours a day and have the same amount of produce, etc., and be at liberty to spend the other six hours a day in such pleasurable and in spiring pursuits as their ever-improving natures would appreciate. Where is the flaw in this logic? The pinhead politicians of America who have had so much to say about the lunacy of the farmers sub-treasury scheme are invited to read a report to the state department by U. S. Consul General DeKay at Berlin. In it he tells of the German demand for public gran aries where grain may be stored by the farmers und money borrowed upon it, as proposed by the Farmers' Alliance here. The consul-general says this question is not confined to Germany, but pervades Europe. Attention is called to the suc cess of the Russian governmental gran ary system, and a strong movement has been instituted to duplicate it in Ger many. Sundry and divers good citizens of Lincoln recently got together with a view ol organizing a good government league. Very shortly thereafter wuiidry and divers politicians got together and boomed one of their number as a "good government"candidate for mayor. Judg ingfrom present indications, when the day arrives for the Republican city con vention, the sundry politicians will leave the sundry good citizens very far in the rear, and the voter will have to choone, just as he has dn heretofore, lietween a ring politician Republican and a "good government peoples canaiaaie. Aim the voters of the city are in a good mind for making the choice. Prof. Hebron has prepared a paper on "Competition" to be read before the Sioux City, Iowa, sociological ciud. Meteoroloot; Old Principles in New Forms, as Applied to Atmospheric Phe nomena. A Complete Elucidation of th True Principles of "Rain Precipitation at Will by Operators under State and Government Direction. Price 25 cents. By ths author, W. F. Wright, Lincoln, Heb. Bethany P. 0. Box 16, So reads th title page of Mr. Wright's little book n the great question of how to com aaand ths rain. The editor of Thb Wealth Makers confesses that he does ot entirely grasp the 'Elucidation," but he Is not a student of th laws of meteorology. Whether Brother Wright has solved the problem of making it rain or not we expect some one some time will learn how to regulate the currents of th atmosphere. Ir Abraham 'Lincoln were alive today he would defend the common people against the encroachments and oppres sion of the corporations. And he would be called a demagogue and visionary, a socialist, anarchist and Populist, by the old party press, politicians and the rabble the rabble who know not that they are the rabble. He would be dishonored for the same active love of humanity for which they now eulogize him. Stone the prophets of the present; bury them be neath the weight of entrenched selfish Deng, meanness, devilishnees; and the next generation of oppressors will orna ment their cairns with flowers and engage the smooth-tongued orators to ehant their praises. . The Administration has secretly sold 62,400,000 3 per cent bonds to the Loudon Jew bankers for 104, not in viting competition between buyers, when the same class of coin bonds of the United States, according to quotations in the London Economist, bonds bearing, pre mium considered, less than 3 per cent in terest, were selling at 114& The new 8 per cent bond would therefore have brought in open market 120 per cent. The difference was a gift by the Adminis tration to the Rothschilds. Fifteen and a half cents on each dollar of $02,400, 000 is a fine sum to filch from American taxpayers and give to the Loudon bank- Some of our readers may wonder that The Wealth Makers does not take a more active part in lawmaking discussion this year. It is not a Populist year, good people. W hat is the use to propose mea sures that cannot be passed? What is the urn to talk aud talk and talk over nothing or next to nothing of value that np to this time basoccupied the mind of the Republican legislator? No meanum of any importance proposed by the Popn. list legislators has any chance to becom. a law. The bwt thing that can be ail so far of the legislature is, that while it has done but liti I it has also done but little harm. v be thut a good deal of harm mn done before the lawmakers adjour W shall see. It is rumored that the pm-t.v in power has a scheme to change the ballot law and to redistrict the state. We shall watch the proposed bill with interest. The Labor Question is being discussed now by many who are merely looking at it. They were never poor or out of a job and the gates of opportunity shut in their faces. They are becoming some what interested. But the man out of work does not toy with the great ques tion leisurely. It comes up against him and strikes agonizing blows through his family affections, it humiliates him, it snakes every fiber of his being quiver with pain and drives into him a desperate de sire to have it, so far as he is concerned at least, settled at once. How long will it be before all men, or all men of sense, will see that he who eats his cake, and keeps it too, is guilty of spoiling the poor, and is to be morally classed with thieves and robbers?

Tbe Pittsburg Kansan proposes the following amendment to the state consti tution: The receiving or paying of interest by the state of Kansas or any political or municipal subdivision thereof is hereby forever prohibited. All right, but provide first a financial system by which the state, counties mid municipalities can borrow on noii-nier est-bearing, non-negotiable bond U. S. legal tender currency of the national gov ernment for their own needs aud those of the people. Ir Adam had worked for one dollar a day and his board 313 days in each yenr and lived and saved each dollar, nork ing 6.000 years, he would today be worth but 1,m7,IH)0. In the recent secret con tract with Cleveland the Rothschilds Jew bankets made f .",00(),000 in a day by buying the $62,500,000 bond? nearly ten cents on the dollar below what they were salable for in the market. "And the tax payers settle the bill." The late Republican chief oil fyiMpector must needs be .ipcrti .a nttiw himseii. He was a first class Repnblicai tester lie tested the oil and he WsleJ the feH. It i difficult to tell which hef.ui in the most time ou. i he iiepuDiican majority in in senate stamped their partisan prejudice npon several measures during the past few days in a way to disgust fair minded citizens of all parties. In th bill providing for th calling of a constitutional convention wherein tbe governor is required to select nawimiTUN h inn hall nnrtliah rha nnh. ces oi saia convention, oecauss we gov ernor was a Populist the word Governor was stricken out and Secretary of Stats inserted I II Again, on the bill to mak i! 1 it an additional half-mill tax levy which the Populist members opposed, the major ity again showed its brutal lack of decency by refusing Senators Sprecker and Stewart the privilege of putting on record an explanation of their votes, which privilege has never before been questionedor denied in either house. Th substance of the said explanations were that the bill provided for the raising of revenue and appropriating the same, and was therefore unconstitutional, but still t was passed. Prof. HourwichoI the Chicago TJnivar ity has offended the powers that be o that monopoly-built institution because of his connection with the Populist party and has had to resign. It is also report ed that Prof. Bemis has by his public opposition to municipal monopolies given such offense to a Chicago gas mag nate that his resignation is wanted and that he will leave the University in July. The Chicago University, it will be remem bered, has been built in great part by Standard Oil Trust stealings contributed by Rockefeller. If all college professors were to be as free and fearlessly faithful as Profs. Hourwich and Bemis a great number of them would have to resign their positions. Several Republican candidates for office in Lincoln are in favor of good government that is, they want a me thod of government that turns every thing for the financial good of the fellows who govern. See? And this self-sacrificing citizens are the fellows who will pull the strings on the Republican city con vention. Carlisle and Cleveland have violated their oaths of office by using their official positions to permit a syndicate of bank ers to rob the American people of five millions of dollars of immediate profit (besides interest) in this last secret bond -contract made with the agents of the London Rothschilds. The representatives of seventy-five German speaking trade unions, Turner' and singing societies and reform clubs' interested in an independent political movement met in Chicago Feb. 10, and decided to continue their allegiance to . , . iv . ifi . ii (urty i T.e mi. idle of the road." The irewnt legislature has on file 27 bit h which attack corporations. But wait mid i-ee if an. of them pass. Those introduced by the Populists will not be allowed to pass, and those of Republi can parentage will be unable to get through lor more or less obscure reasons. What sort of n man is it who will use three quarters of his editorial space slan dering, belittling and abusing a brother editor, and the other quarter, to the last line, with stolen editorials from th paper he attacks, palming them off a bis own. Each generation has its prophets and cruelties, dishonors, sacrifices them. Each generation sees evil in the past, but the kings of the present it insists can do no wrong. Whatever is, is right. President Cleveland has found out that he and the bankers of two conti nents may ask for even more than even an old party congress is ready to grant.
