THE WEALTH MAKERS.
1.
J
current running toward socialism. That
thecurrent would run mucb stronger if it
were not for the Strang misapprehen
sion concerning the nature of socialism.
The highest degree of liberty is not in
consistent with s strongly socialistic
organism, and certainly some cousider
able part of the production and distribu
tion of wealth could be much better man
aged wen the present factors of mono
poly, selfinhness and competition elimi
nated. So, too, socialism, rightly re
garded, would not destroy a heaithy de
gree of individual enterprise and true
competition.
The strongest part of the present book
seems to be Part IV, Practicable Social
Reform. Dr. Ely takes the position that
it would not be wise, at least now, for
society as a unit to undertake the com
plete charge of production and distribu
tion of wealth, but that there should be
a socialization of monopoly, both natu
ral and artificial.
The chapter on Land Reform is excel
lent, and that on Development of the
Social Side of Private Property is origi
nal in many ways. The Appendix is also
very valuable, giving as it does, mani
festoes of Social Societies in Englaud,
Germany and America.
It has been well said that this is one of
the strongest books of the year.

George William Cubtis, by Edward
Cary.
This is one of the American Men of
Letters series which have been so helpful
to thousands of teachers and general
readers. George William Curtis was a
noble, independent character, and as
such was most attractive to true Ameri
cans, and becomes an excellent study for
boys and girls. Such men deserve to be
studied by every scholar in the public
schools, because from such a study the
pupils get not only strong, inspirations
toward noble characters, but they also
get a clear, connected idea of the history
of our country.
This biography is very attractive in
style, is not overdrawn and, is a worthy
number in the series. Many readers will
be especially interested intliechapters on
Emerson and Brook Farm. Mr. Curtis
had a strong influence in public affairs,
especially from the time he became editor
of Harper's Weekly in 1863. His judg
ment in politics was ever from the stand
point of the statesman, not the politician,
He withstood the radical element of the
Republican party in 186-i and was a
delegate to the Baltimore Convention
that nominated Lincoln for his second
term. The strong leaning of Mr. Curtis
toward purity and reform in politics is
well shown and the biographer has cer
tainly well succeeded in putting before
his readers George William Curtis as a
noble, poor anil disinterested patnot.

Master and Men, by William Burnett
Wright.
Is a volume of essays on The Sermon
oi; the Mount. The style is exceedingly
attractive and reminds one in its fresh
ness and beauty of sermons of David
Swing. These essays contain sound
sense, clear conceptions of truth, true
piety and cutting, because true, criticism
of the present life of the Christian church.
Perhaps as striking a chapter as any is
the first on Puzzles. The chapeers on
George Fox, Charles Geo. Gordon, Moses,
St. Paul and others, show true historical
insiirbt and sympathetic appreciation.
The book is handsomely gotten up with
excellent print, paper and binding.

several others.
The North American Review is a good
number. The Personal History of the
Second Empire by Albert D. Vandam is
still continued. Lady Henry Somerset.
Marion Harland and Harriet Prescott
Spofford have a word to say about Nag
ging Women evidently brought out by
the article on the same subject some
month or two ago. Max O'Rell is at
outs with Mark Twain because of the
latter's strictures on Paul Bourget. All
will be interested in The Truth About
Port Arthur by Frederick Villier's: also,
in What Psychical Research Has Accom
plished, by Frank Podmore, and The Fu
ture of Silver by Hon. R. P. Bland.
The Forum for March contains many
excellent things among which we would
call particular attention of our readers
to the following: The Business World vs.
the Politicians by J. E. Eckels, Comp
trollerof the Treasury. Andrew Carne
gie tells about What Would 1 Do with the
Tariff? Two Examples of Successful
Profit-sharing, is the subject of Prof. F.
W. Blackman. Henry Holt finishes his
article on The Social Discontent, by giv
ing some remedies. There is a good
number on The Tenement the Real Prob
lem of Civilization by Jabob A. Riis. All
will eagerly read The Anti-toxin Treat
ment of Diphtheria, by Dr, L. Emmet
Holt.
A few weeks ago we criticised the Na
tional Watchman of Washington, D. C,
for its attitude on the Omaha platform,
and its advocacy of the one-idea educa
tional campnign. Since that onecriticism
appeared we have not seen a copy of the
Watchman nor have we heard of it. We
are forced, therefore, to conclude that
either our blast wholly demolished the
Watchman or else that our friend Dun
ning cut us off hisexchange list. Which?
Progressive age.
The Wealth Makers did likewise and
is in the same quandary, not havingseen
the Watchman for a month or more.
Who now shall tell us that "the morning
cometh, and also the night?" How shall
we live without the voice of Dunning?
But let our irreparable loss prove a warn
ing to all other Populist editors, never to
criticise the nation's watchman. He
won't stand it.

A Call of the Executive Committee ol
tbe State Alliance of the eitate
of Nebraska.
Macon, Neb., Feb. 13, 1895.
To All Alliances:
Brothers and sisters of the state of Ne
braska, as in the year 1893 our crop was
scarcely a half crop, and in 1894 a total
failure, we feel it our duty as your com
mittee to make the following call tosave
our greenbacks and other interests of
the people: That all brothers and sis
ters that were iu good standing iu 1892
and 1893, as well as those at the present
time, call their subordinate Alliances to
meet and to go to work as if they had
paid their dues and keep up their organi
zation and take in new members, and the
1st of October, 1895, start with paying
dues. Meanwhile report uumberof mem
bers promptly each quarter to state and
county secretaries.
We ask all subordinute Alliances that
oan to take up a collection each month
of twenty-five cents each to send to state
secretary to pay postage.
J. M. Dimmick,
F. G. Wilke,
T. A. Donahue,
Executive Committee.
Hartwell, Neb., Mar. 1,1895.
Dear Brothers and Sisters of the F. A. &
I. V:
Never was an organization of the farm
ers so necessary for the preservation of
liberty as at the present time.
The interest of the politician is again
receiving greater consideration than the
needs of the farmers, which can not be
stated in anv one plank of reform.
We have vowed to stand by each other
while life lasts, and the fraternal feeling
must be cultivated more in the future
than in the Dast.
Had our organization been kept in its
former standing no brother or sister
need have suffered hunger or cold or nad
to beg for the necessities of life. The
pressing calls made on us daily for any
thing to sustain life should be met with a
response from all who have aught to
spare.
Our executive committee issued an ap
peal to other State Alliances but contri-
butions were preventecijoy tne rnise re
port that enough and to spare had been
sent to the State Commission.
We hope yet to relieve some suffering
members ns the need will continue urgent
until another crop is well under way.
Any Alliance sending 10 cents for each
male member will at once be furnished
with supplies and new secret work: other
wise get to work as suggested by the
Executive Committee.
County secretaries please call meeting
with delegates from each subordinate
Alliance in good staudiug in isya, yj,
or the present time, remitting all past
dues.
Now is the time for action; the farmers
must again take hold of the helm oi
State. I am ever yours for industrial
freedom. Mrs. J. T. Kellie.
Sec. Nebr. F. A. & I. D.
These hard times have created thought
and farmers seem to awake at last to the
fact that a drouth is a small calamity
compared to the election of a lot of
enemies of wealth producers to make and
unmake our inws. The drouth we can
not control as yet, but wecan and proba
bly will prevent a recurrence of the latter
iu the near future.
The sisrns are favorable for a return of
the farmers to a position of influence in
the affairsof state, asevidenced by Maple
Creek Alliance of Furnas county, which
reports a great increase of members,
making 80 at present; and they say they
expect to make it 100 in the near future.
Dodge and Dixon counties are also re
organizing, and stlil there's more to
follow.
Every Alliance in the state in good
standing has probably received by this
time a donatiou of 20 assortments of
garden seeds, containing 5 packets each,
from Senator Allen, making about $5.00
worth to each Alliance. When footed up
this is a nice donation, and, as seen by
my letter, one that is greatly appreciat
th is year.
A generous brother of Beaver City,
writes, March 4, "I see by your letter in
The Wealth Makers of Feb. 28, that
there are some few persons trying to
help suffering humanity in Nebraska.
But when we look around among the
farmers of other states we find them even
with good crops in almost as bad a con
dition financially as we are in .Nebraska.
When will the American people wake up
to know that they are slaves to the
money power of England, and that the
American flag of today floats over more
corruption and oppression than the flag
of anv so-called Christian nation on
earth?"
"There is always a long calm before a
storm, and thestorm is not far off. There
are many members of the Alliance who
are able to give from five to ten dollars;
but the love of self is so great that they
forget that we are brothers. Let us see
if something can be done. If you will
select for me thirty members', heads of
families who are unable to buy seed, I
will send to each 20 cents worth of
garden seed. This is a small offer, but if
100 men would give $6.00 worth of some
kind of seed the State Alliance would
have $600.00 worth of seed for its mem
bers. "Brethren, fall in. Who will be the next
to give $6.00 of some kind of seed?"
A letter from a Perkins county brother
says: "A great many families are sub
sisting on bread alone. We have been
supplied with plenty of clothing through
our church organizations, but are in
great need of provision such as coffee,
meat, beans, etc., and there is hardly a
farmer in the county who has seed for
planting this spring, or the means to
procnre it. I suppose you are aware of
the fact that this county voted bonds in
the sum of $90,000 to aid in building au
irrigation ditch. We have been unable to
sell the bonds, and the farmers here did
$25,000 worth of work on said ditch, for
which they have not received one cent.
They spent all their available cash for
feed and board, and, as the bonds voted
are the full limit allowed by law, we can
not vote bonds for seed and will have to
depend entirely on the charity of our
more fortunate neighbors. Any help you
can extend us will be gratefully received.
Trusting in that All-Wise I'rovfdence
which gives the ravens their food, I re
main fraternally, K. S. C.
Co. Sec. Perkins Co.
Conducted by J. T. M. Swioabt. Correspon
dence solicited. Fire, cyclone or hall.
The following will be found in Chapter
33, laws of 1891, and is the only law that
lean find that touches upou examination,
and the fees are therein stated.
Sec. 17. Annual Statement to the
Auditor Examination Fee. It shall
be the duty of the president and vice
president and secretary of every such
company, on the first day of January
each year, or within a month thereafter,
to prepare, uuder their own oatn, and
transmit, to the auditor of public
accounts a statement of the condition of
the company on the last day of the
month preceding, in sncn torm as tne law
may direct. If, upon examination, he is
of opinion that such company is doing
business correctly, in accordance witn
the provisions of this act, he shall there
upon furnish tbe company a certificate,
which shall be deemed authority to con
tinue business theeiyuiingyear. tor such
examination and certificate the company
shall pay one dollar ($1) for agent's
certificates of authority, fifty cents
($0.50). Each company shall pay, at
the time of organization, ten dollars
($10) to the auditor, all of which shall be
paid into the state treasury and applied
to the general fund.
The above is the only authority that
the Auditor has to charge for examina
tion of the mutual companies organized
under the mutual law of 1891.
Sections 28, 29 and 30 of chapter 43
of compiled statutes of 1889, authorizes
the Auditor to examine insurance com
panies, but as section 30 is the only one
that refers to mutual companies, I will
give that part of it, viz:
Sec. 30. Same, Mutual Companies.
If, upon such examination, it shall ap
pear to the said Auditor that the assets
of any company chartered upon the plan
of mutual insurance under this act, are
insufficient to justify the continuance of
such company in business, it shall be his
duty to proceed in relation to such com
pany, in the same manner as is herein
required in regard to joint stock com
panies. You will notice that all companies
under this act may be examined, but
that does not apply to mutual companies
under other, and especially under the law
subsequently passed.
This chapter, 43, also provides the
amount of fee for admission (see sec. d2)
$50.00, for filing each annual statement
$20.00, for each agent s certificate $2.00.
Which, if you will compare with section
17 (given above), you will see that the
companies mentioned are of a different
line of companies, and are organized
under adifferent lawaud pay the Auditor
several times the fees.
I do not think that any secretary would
object to have the Auditor examine his
books; but when the charge is $10.00 per
day and expenses it is not in accordance
with the idea of tbe law under which our
companies are organized.
The Auditor tells me that he did not
authorize Mr. Dorsey to collect $10.00
per day, or any other definite amount.
The law does not give the fees for examin
ing even the old line companies, but they
are bled to the tune of $10.00 per day
and expenses.

tion to The Wealth Makers, but failed
to give his postoffice address and we can
