THE WEALTH MAKERS.

Does this eminent corporation Bttorney
correctly deflue "the fundamental object
of all civilized government?" I that
object correctly stated as "the preserva
tion of the right of private property?'
Let ub see. ,
"We, the peopleof the United States, in
order to form a more perfect union,
establish justice, insure domestic trun-
quillity, provide for the common defense,
promote the general welfare, and secure
the blessings of liberty to ourselves and
our posterity, do ordain and establish
this constitution for the United States of
America."
Six objects are here stated, but not a
word is said about ("the preservation of
the right to private property." Going
back still farther, to the Declaration of
Independence, we find the rights for
which "governments are instituted
among men" stated as follows by the
historic document:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident
that all men are created equal: that they
are endowed by their Creator with cer
tain inalienable righta; that among these
are life, liberty and the pursuit of happi
ness; that, to secure these rights, govern
ments are instituted among men, deriv
ing their just powers from the consent of
the governed; that, whenever any form
of government becomes destructive of
these ends, it. is the right of the people
to alter or abolish it, and to institute a
new government, laying its foundation
on such principles, and organizing its
powers in such form, as to them all shall
spfin most hkelv to effect their safatv
and happiness.'
. Here again we fail to find Mr. Choate's
"fundamental object" stated.
Turning to the new constitution which
Mr. Choate helped to draft for the State,
we find its purpose is defined as follows:
We, the peopleof the State of New York
grateful to Almighty God for our freedom
in order to secure its blessings, do estab
lish this constitution.
Still not a word about that which Mr,
Choate says "all educated, civilized men"
believe is the "fundamental object" of
government. Looking to the exposition
of the Federal constitution by the emi
nent Judge Story, we find (19) the
following comment on the preamble
"The next object is to 'establish justice.'
This, indeed, is tbe first object of all
good and rational forms of government
Turning next to the opening sentence of
lions," we find: ',A State isa body poli
tic, or society oi men united together for
the purpose of promoting their mutual
safety and nd vantage by the joint efforts
of their combined strength."
Still no mention of Mr. Choate's "funda
mental object." He refers to a speech of
Webster's which, however, he does not
quote. Mr. W ebster was a great jurist,
but he was also an ambitious politician.
and as such allowed his esteem for "the
preservation of the right of private pro
perty" to carry him so far that he de
fended the government for coercing its
citizens into the hunting of men, women,
and children who were claimed as "pri
vate property" by others from whom
they had escaped. We prefer the autho
rity of the constitution itself to either
Mr. Choate or Mr. Webster.
It may be argued that the right of pri
vate property is essential to the preser
vation of justice, or liberty, or happi
ness. But even so, it is not in itself the
object or end of government, but merely
a means to the end; and if the time
should ever come when it would be no
longer a means to these ends, it would
rightly be superseded.
The truth of the matter is that govern
ment is a great co-operative association,
for the purpose of enabling the people to
do better what they can not do so well
acting independently of each other. By
s lf J U IJ 0 IIJIVS U gVJf T7I I1UIC1J bf I II CV 1C1J
better defend themselves against foreign
foes, and so they combine. They can in
the same way better guard themselves,
their lives, and their property against
violence and fraud within, and so courts,
police and militia are constituted. They
can better in this way, so they have con
cluded in this country, provide for popu
lar education, and so the public schools
are established. They can better in this
way take care of the dependent and de
fective classes, and so. State asylums,
hospitals, and almshouses are established
They can better in this way in mostcases
maintain an adequate water supply, and
so the public system of water-works is
established. But, strange to say, after
doing all these things and many more,
such as maintaining the streets, paving
and cleaning them, building sewers,
supervising the erection of buildings, de
fending them from fire, guarding the
public health by health boards and sani
tary commissions; after doing all these
things through this co-operative associa
tion known as a government, when one
suggests that it is time to take charge in
the same way of the transportation
lines, of the telegraphs, telephones, and
electric-lights, and of those industries,
such as coal mines, wherein products
essential to the people are liable to come
under the domain of monopoly then we
hear on all sides startled expressions of
alarm, as though the foundation of gov
ernment were being assailed by sacrile
gious hands. ,
Isn't it funny? New York Voice.
The Assault Upon Stewart
Editor Wealth Makers:
In regard to the occurenceof yesterday
and the cause which led thereto, there is
some conflict of statement, which I wish
to set right.
First, let me refer to the cause, Senate
File No. 222. This measure, as intro
duced, contained among other vicious
features the following:
"If any school district for the period of
one year, fail to maintains a school for a
term of at least threeconsecutivemouths,
or keep up its organization of officers, or
if there has been an average attendance
for three consecutive mouths of only five
pupils, or less, such district shall lapse,
and the money in the county treasury be
longing thereto be divided among the
other districts of the county."
I quote this portion of the bill to show
the spirit of the measure and the otiieat
for which it was introduced. Section 2
t -
school district levy shall be fifteen mills,
iustead of twenty-five mills, as in the
present law.
When we consider these two nrnnnai
tions in connection, we understand that '
their object was and is to destroy nmnj
of the school districts in western Nebras
ka, which are now making such a noble
fight against almost overwhelming odds
to give their children some education.
To be reduced to a fifteen mill levy would
make it absolutely impossible for hun
dreds of districts to maintain three
months school per year any longer than
they would be able to do so on credit,
and then by the opposition of this most
infamous act they would cease to exist;
and again, in any district in which, from
any cause, there was only five scholars
attending the same, even though there
was plenty of money to carry it on, still
that district must Hiii ivinler its or&iini
zatiou, and this would be t he effect of this
most infamous, outrageous, and despotic
measure. 'It may be very naturally su
posed that among tt few western mem
bers who were fighting against the odds
to save their schools that considerable
feeling wax manifested. If a man pos
sessed any feeling at all this measure
would stir itup,and when weconsider the
stupendous stakes for which we were
playing, I wonder that men can quietly
and peaceably submit tosnch imposition.
After a considerable and heated contest
over these questions the majority
offered us a compromise, which was
simply adding insult to injury, as fol
lows: That if a country district could get the
written consent of the county superin
tendent, to levy more than fifteen mills,
they might do so up to twenty-five mills,
and they agreed to strike out the first
quotation referred to, but held that we
must have the consent of the county
superintendent in order to levy more
than fifteen mills; and here is where the
moneyed and corporate influence is ex
pected to get in its work: by controlling
the nomination or election of the county
superintendent, they can thus exercise a
despotic prohibitory power over the
school districts, which would close the
doors of hundreds of school houses, and
refuse educational opportunities to our
children. ,
It seems strange that there are Ameri
can citizens who would willfully destroy
our school system to save themselves a
few dollars taxes, but if you study this
bill and notice the persistent unanimity
with which many of the eastern senators
strove to secure their adoption, itis plain
that such was their intention.
While I have believed for years that the
laws were being systematically used to
bring about a centralization of wealth,
and a destruction of the values of our
property, in order that it might beeasily
transferred without further investment,
except a mortgage, I have not believed
until this time that this same power
would attempt to destroy the free school
system of America, through the same
medium; but the mailed hand of despotic
capital never was more apparent in any
measure than in this one. This was to
be the first step, the feeler; the first en
croachment which, in time, was intended
to no only divest the common people of
their homes, but to close the doors of
their school houses against them.
It has been said, "that a people without
homes will not quarrel with theirrulers."
A people without education will never
have the power to lift the yoke of the ty
rant from their necks.
I want the people of this state to know
that their school system is in danger. I
want them to know what the measure is.
and the means and men which are to be
used to accomplish their purposes,
While the Republican members of this
senate, with but one exception, fought
for this infamous measure, still I do not
believe that the Republican voters of the
state will endorse any such measure, nor
the men who will stand up and tight for
it, nor quietly excuse them for the at
tempt to pass such a law, if it should fail
of passage.
After trying to clip the claws of this
outrageous bill, and to some extent suc
ceeding, it became quite apparent that
it was going to be reported for passage,
1 assailed the measure, determined, if
possible, to defeat such a result. I laid
bare its charncter and its purposes, and
the terrible effect it would have upon our
country schools. . .true that I char
acter, zed the bill in ctrongand emphatic.
but at the same time perfectly parlia
mentary and admirable, language. The
champions of the measure, seeing their
deformed and hideous suckling getting
such a dressing, attempted to rescue it
by a "point of order," and as 1 did not
stop until I had finished my sentence, the
mover sat down saying he would with
draw his point, but instead of being per
mitted to proceed, the chairman, (who
was a banker and a friend of the scheme)
continued to pound upon the desk, when
the sergeant-at-arins, grabbed me. vio
lently and angrily by the shoulder, and
attempted to put me down. I in no way
offered any violence in return, but simply
preventing bim from doing so, which was
a very easy matter. .
But this is not all, after carrying the
matter so far as a violent and unwar
ranted assault, revenge must still be had
for stating the plain facts in regard to
the bill, and the same influence which
would offer such a law, could be relied
upon to censure those who would oppose
their schemes. But this is only one of
the schemes to encroach upon the liber
ties of the common people, Step after
step is to be taken until, in the words of
Lincoln, "AH of Liberty will be lost.
and but dark and hopeless despotism
shall remain."
It is high time that the people awake
to the dangers into which they are beinir
led by the power behind the throne,
which intends to control the destinies of
the great plain people throuirh the in
strumentalities of political parties. Let
no one be deceived.

A LETTER FROM THE SOUTH.

Mrs. J. T. Kellie, Sec. of Neb., F. A. &1.U.
Dear Sister: I am extremely Borry
that I could not answer your postal
sooner. The weather has been so bad
here this winter, so much snow, sleet ana
rain, that the roads arenothing but mud
and slush the worst winter we have had
for a number of years. Brother J. W,
Sanders, who was appointed to receive
all contributions lor your people,,-win
send vou todav what we have collected
There were about 85 ' or 40 bushels of
corn and 100 pounds of flour that were
donated to vour people by the F. A. & I.
U. of this county. There uot being
enough to ship we concluded to sell what
we had and send you the money. Times
nre hard and money scarce among the
farming class of people, owing to the
lo w price of cotton, that being our m ney
crop. After paying off their guano bills
and liens for supplies tney nave very
little money left. A great many of our
small farmers are quitting tne larm ana
going to the factories to work. It is not
much better at the factories, as the
wHtres are so low. They can barely make
a -living. How long this condition of
affairs is eoing to last God only knows,
We are needing relief from oppression,
and that very bad. If this condition
lasts manv years we are a ruined people.
We will be nothing but serfs for the
plutocrats of the country.
1 was in hopes Unit we could have got
ten more for your people, but the bad
weather and bad roads have prevented
some from donating because they could
not haul it to the depot, such as corn
and peas, as it is about all the fanners
have got. The railroads refused to ship
it free, it being so far to your state the
freight would be more than the corn is
worth; so you can take the money and
do the best you can with it. Itis now our
busy time getting ready to plant. We
are behind now two weeks in our farm
ing, but if we can have good weather
from now on we can soon catch up with
our work. '
Dear sister, if the distress among your
people gets any worse let us know; we
will have to make greater efforts. Uur
county Alliance meets on the 12th of
April. If you think best I will bring it
lip before the county Alliance at that
meeting.
With the best of wishes for the pros
perity of your people, that they may
make an abundant crop and get all the
relief they need; and for the success of
our efforts to better the condition of
mankind, I am fraternally yours, until
it is accomplished. J. W. James. '

The Silver Monomania
Editor Wealth Make its:
The leaders of both old parties would
feel relieved if they could "sidetrack" the
Populists on the silver question. A gold
standard would be more simple to con
trol than the double .standard and they
prefer it, but they are conscious of their
power to control both, and in ease silver
should be restored they would control it.
Fiat money at cost of issue, is the finan
cial plank in the Omaha platform that
they fear, they could not control that,
and they will use every artifice to switch
us off. "Hold fast to that which is
good;" it is only a question of time, if
the Populists are true to their principles,
and maintain an independent organiza
tion, wheu we shall get all our demands.
Education is all that is necessary for our
"nation to be born in a day." No side
tracking. No fusion. ,. C. II. Kino.

It is that all four-footed beasts, in
