THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT.
j
' hours of work by instructors,
A little more than a year ago it was
observed that the head of one depart
ment had reported a greater number of
students tbn were registered for work
in his departmett for that semester.
Five years service on the "Time-card
committee" had compelled me to be
come familiar with the workings of all
other departments, with their hours,
with their number of students, and, to
some extent, with the nature of the
. work. Without this Information tbe
schedule cai-not be constructed. My
familiarity with the work of other de
partments enabled me to see at a glance
that a mistake had been made in this re
port Thn chancrllor was a new man iu
tbe university and I supposed he would)
be glad to have tbe mistake pointed our.
His attention was called to the fact and
(presumably at his request) tbe profes
sor submitted a revised report contain
ing forty-three fewer students than the
first repprt contained. In conference
with two members of the board th
chancellor stated to them in my presence
that the second report contained more
students than the first report. He has
also made the same statement to others.
Along with this second report ap
peared an explanation of tbe cause of
the mistake and a complaint against
the "meddler," the "Paul Pry" in the
university. It seemed proper to explain
he circumstances attending the "med
dling" though, of course, the reports of
the professors are public doenments and
have always been filed in a convenient
place for inspection by member of the
faculty or by anyone interested in the
various departments. I therefore pre
pared an explanation and asked that it
be filed along with that of tbe professor.
Both splanatious disappeared from the
files and I have not seen the originals
since. I have copies of the two reports
and also of tbe two "explanations," all
of which may be published later if it
seems best.
Since the beginning of the present
school year in September this matter
has not b-n discussed, and when inci
dentally referred to was understood by
me to be a case already settled. The in
vestigation of tbe question seemed to me
to be none of my business. The fact of
a mistake in the report suemed to me to
call for notification to the executive. I
am Bot conscious of having "meddled"
in any other affair of any department.
The only other .important charge
which has been brought to my notice I
learned first from the newspaper ac
counts of the action of the board as
communicated to the reporters by the
chancellor. It was stated iu several of
the papers that the executive committee
of the board instructed the chancellor to
"warn" me not to interfere with other
departments. I have no recollection of
receiving such warning and lam certain
it wag never given in such manner as to
suggest its official nature. Fatherly ad
' vice has often been given me by the chan
cellor along with many most flattering
compliments; as, for example, in our
most friendly conference before the re
gents met, the chancellor earnestly said
be wished I "would prefer charges"
against the professor whose report was
corrected. Of course I did not consider
this official advice and took the liberty
of ignoring thej-emark. It is barely pos
sible that the "official warning" referred
to came in some such friendly way, but
I cannot now recall any such fact.
But even if "Warning" had been - given
there has been no instance during the
present school year in which either the
spirit or the letter of it has been vio
lated; It is true that in the intereet of
the university I endeavored to arrange
a compromise by which tbe readjustment
between two other departments could be
affected with less friction, and ac it
seemed to me with greater justice to
both men. I am not certain, however,
that either the board or chancellor knew
of this "meddling" at the time of my
-dismissal,
The third specific charge which has
come to me is a case in which I "do not
co-operate with the faculty." It is a
fact that I do not report students for
membership in Phi Beta Kappa. This
matter lias ni-ver seemed to me to be a
a university affair. As far as I know
tbe regents have never authorized tbe
establishment of a chapter of this society
or even recognized its existence. Queerly
enough the .professor whose report was
corrected is said to agree with me on
this point and has also neglected to "co
operate.
The preceding instances are the only
specific reasons for my removal which
have been given to me in an official man
ner. In a personal interview a little
over a week ago the chancellor said to
me in almost these words,"Youhavesaid
I am incompetent, insincere and un
truthful, you must first retract those
statements as a basis of settlement be
tween us." This was the first direct
vildence I had obtained that the chan
cel or's recommendation to the board
was caused by personal feeling. Of
.course I was unable to say that I now
believe to be untrue, and hence our con
ference was fruitless.
That the real cause is different from
those officially assigned is further evi
dent from the anxiety of the chancellor
to "recommend me to a better school
than this, and for a position with
higher salary than I have received
here." And "such is his influence with
other presidents" that I would be cer
tain to obtain whatever be asked for
me. And yet my crime cannot be very
serious else this way out of tbe "series
of blunders" would not have suggested
tolf to a "competent" and honest man.
His deep interest in my welfare is mtm
even to greater advantage in the propo
sition made to three friends of mine,
that if I would agree to it, be would se
cure me a "leave" of abaetice for one
year on half pay, without expectation of
further service to the state. Silence i
indeed golden.
Tbe foregoing statements have seemed
to ma to be due to my friends who have
wondered at the action of the board.
Nooue could have been more surprised
than mrself, for thougb I lult thnt the
chancellor wae nut dWt.ly attached to
me i bad come to think that absolute
devotion to duty would atone for short
coining iu the eyes of a few mm m the
family and even for tliffereuwa of opin
ion from tbe chancellor.

THE SUGAR TARIFF.
Is Not Levied for Protection but Kelps
to Build the Greet Trust.
The theory of protection has for its
foundation argument the building up of
new industries or assisting those that
need temporary assistance. Tbe tariff
tax which it is proposed to levy upon
sugar cannot be justified by any such
argument The tax which it is proposed
to levy is a varying one that amounts
to about one and five-eighths cents per
pound. ,
There may be some who believe that
this will benefit the sugar industry, some
who do not believe that the trust bas
complete control of the sugar business
in the United States, some who think
that it is an infant Industry that needs
protection. For those we quote the fol
lowing from the Congressional Record
of tbe proceedings of the Senate. Sen
ator Caffery eaid: ; ,
"The American Sugar Refining Com
pany monopolizes the purchase and sale
of cane sugar. It monopolizes the sale
of not only the cane sugars of Louisiana
and tbe beet sugars of Nebraska and
California, but the cane sugars of the
world.
The rise or fall of a half cent a pound
makes an enormous amount of inone.v.
In round numbers the amount of sugar
consumed io the United States is 4,00nf
000.000 pounds annually; with half a
cent a pound in favor of the trust, which
melts all our sugar, it anfbunts to $20,
000,000. So it is easily perceived what
is tbe animus, the impelling cause that
brings the American Sugar Refining
Company to the doors of congress at
every session demanding a tariff in its
behalf.
There was some very interesting testi
mony given before the special committee
to investigate attempts at bribery in
18U4, contained in senate document No
606, iii regard to the monopolistic char
acter of the American frugar-reflning in
terests. Mr. H. O. Havemeyer is the
witness whom I propose to auote. He
appeared before that committee to tes
tify in regard to the question then under
consideration, which was whether United
States senators had been speculating in
sugar stocks. Tbe senator from Jiebras-
ka, (Mr. Allen) asked Mr. Hajremeyer
iiih lonuwing questions:

Mr, Haremever. That was one of the objects

Senator Allen, And yon have succeeded In

Mr. Havemeyer, ' Tea, lr.
Senator Allen. That was the principal object
In organizing the American Sugar Usfluing
Company? . ."..
Mr. Havemeyer. It mag oe aald that that was
the principal object.
Mr. Havemeyer is exceedingly frank.
He does not, equivocate a particle. The
object of organizing the American Sugar
Refining Company was to control tbe
price of sugar iu the United States, and
he succeeded in his object. He controls
the price, or his company does. Here it
is, plain, unequivocal, unambiguous:
Senator Allen. And making; money incitend
to that control? -
Mr. Havemeyer. Tea, air. . .

I will read again where this monopo
list, this confessed monopolist, siys that

runs up tbe price precisely to the im
porting point. .-.
Scmator Allen, The American Sugar Refining
Company ia able to control the prices of tbe
auurar sola in the United States, ia It not?
Mr. Havemeyer. Up to tbe importing point, it
8.
I will read further from this witness.
He goes on in bis testimony and states
that after the formation of this trust
they bought up nearly all outside com
panies. After stating that purchase
Senator Allen asked him this question:
Before that
That is, before the consolidation
you had not been able to control the price of
eugar absolutely? There waa competition be
tween the American 8ugar-reflnlr.g Coinpny
and these outside factories?
Mr. Havemeyer. Yea. air.
Senator Allen. That competition you suc
ceeded In destroying by bringing them into tbe
trut, did you?
Mr. Havemeyer. Tea air.
Senator Allen. And made the price oljsugar
to tbe American Sugar Refining Company much
more favorable than it bad been before that
time? ,
Mr. Havemeyer. Precisely.
So they do not control the price, they
not only hold up the price to the im
porting point, but they advance the
price immediately after the consolida
tion of the companies.
Mr. Havemeyer testifies again aa to
what he had been making. Tbe Sen
ator from Nebraska Mr. Ajlen asked
to know bow much was the price addi
tional to what it would have been bad
theiebeen no consolidation. Mr. Have
meyer answers with great franknness.
Senator Allen. And what difference dona It
make for tbe consumers in this country In a
year, in your Judgment?
That is, the additional price asked
over and above tbe competing price be
fore the consolidation.
Mr. Havemeyer, It has been In three yeara
puat three-elghthaof a cent moreon every pound
they ate, aa against doiug business at aloes.
A half cent a pound would be about
$20,000,000; three-eighths would be
$15,000,000 that the American Sugar
Refining Companf . here say that they
placed upon the people of the United
States in excess of tbe price that was
charged for sugar prior t6 the forma
tion of this trust. Then Senator Allen
aked him the following question:
And that would be about bow much is rouud
numbers?
Mr. Ilavsmrsr. It la a larg sum Is the ss
Senator Allen, How many millions?
Mr. liMTimiever. I should say It was close to
I In three years.
It would be a little closer to $13,000,.
000 in throe years. I suppose be thought
as he was dealing In millions, tint $23,

Mr,
was a race of jackals before that com
mittee. Every man who appeared be
fore it was interested in the lumber
trade in some form or another.

wanted to grow rich out of the people

were there in great numbers. The men
who wre handling the lumber as an oc
cupation, or thought of making an oc
cupation of it. were there. Not a home
builder in the United States, not a rep
resentative of tbe bumble classes who
are buildiug up tbe cities and tbe vil
lages of the great west and south was
there. These hearings were not open to
him. Neither tbe doors of congress nor
tbe doors of tbe committee room were
ooen to the representatives of that class
of people. They were open only to those
who fatten and grow rich out ot tarin
taxation.
Mr. President, the adoption of tins
paragraph will place every farmer in the
Missouri and Mississippi basin and tbe
great west and soutwest at tbe absolute
mercy of the men who control the pine
interests of this country. What does it
signify to a farmer today? To pay tbe
tariff tax on a thousand feet of lumber
raexiis 20 bushels of corn to the farmer
according to current prices. It means
betweeu 16 and 17 bushels of oats. It
menus about 4, or between 4 and
bushels of what. If he builds a borne
requiring 10,000 feet of lumber, which
wid be a humble borne Indeed, it takes
200 bushels of his corn at current prices
toiiay the tariff tax. What reason is
therein permitting less than a dozen
men or a dozen institutions of this
country to levy upon every corn field and
oat Bold and every wheat field of the
United State a tribute of this kind?
Why should not these men be put upon
an equality in the market? Why should
not the, men who are dealing in white
pine today be compelled to walk out in
to a competitive market and take their
chances in that market as other people
are required to dor
Mr. President, it will not do to say
that the American wage earner in tbe
pine woods of the United States is paid
more and better wages than the Kanuck
is paid. The truth is, the wages across
the line as a whole are higher than they
are in the United fjtates for like services.
There is nothing iu that argument. The
claptrap so frequently used in these dis
cussions, that the interest of tbe wage
earner is advanced and the poor man's
condition in this country is improved
over the condition of a like laborer in
another eountry, can not be urged in
this case. No, Mr. President, it is simply
an attempt, in m judgement, to pay
back to this great syndicate or these
great syndicates of lumberowners a com
pensation which possibly they advanced
less than a year ago. .
-Mr. f resident, larceny is larceny; it
makes no,difference what name you may
give. lou may call it a breach of trust,
you may call it a breach of good faith.
you may call it embezzlement, you may
give it any soft-sounding name you see
nt, but a law that permits one class of
people to take from another without
compensation their just and honest
earnings is, in the eyes of the law, of the
higher law and in the eyes of honest men,
nothing short of absolute larceny, legal
ized larceny.
We have thirteen and a half million
of homes in the United States. Many of
our people are undergoing the privation
of pioneer life. Life at best in tbe great
West and in the undevoloped portion of
uie country is a constant struggle. Why
should not those who are marking out
the pathway of civilization and endeav
oring to build up homes be encouraged
to some extent at least? Why should
not the material that enters into tbe
construction of their bumble abodes be
free from taxation, especially when there
is no necessity of levying atax for the
reveuue upon lumber?
air. rresiueni mere can De no excuse
for this, Ihe people are disorganizied;
they are not organized like the syndi
cates controlling almost one half of
of the white pine of this country. They
are too poor .to come to comzress and
hang around these lobbies and galleries
to innueuce me acnon ol congress. They
can not do that. Many of them would
be uuable to get here and return from
inepronisoi ineir larms. They must
depend upon tbe sense of right and the
patriotism of their representatives here
to protect them from such an enormous
evil as the imposition of a tariff upon
lumber would be.
Every prairie in the land, every inter
ior section of the United States, under
just legislation upon thisand upon other
questions, would have a school house
and a church and colleges as gorgeous
ana commodious as the most populous
city. Is there any reason why tbey
should not have these accommodations?
Are they not American citizens? Do
they not bear their burdens of taxation
and the other burdens of government
when called upon, and do it willingly
and uncomplainingly? Why should any
man in a populous city have a greater
opportunity to enjoy the blessings of
life in this country than should be en
joyed by the farmers and the industrial
classes under a just and humane sys
tem of legislation?
The people whom I represent in part
in this chamber are victims of the lum
ber interests of this country, the lumber
trusts, and syndicates. I speak lor my
people; and 1 say, Mr. President, not
withstanding my friend from Maine, for
whom 1 have great respect personally,
that tbe great bulk of the men engaged
iu felling trees and sawing lumber iu this
country, are men of foreign birth. I say
that 80 ter cen t of them from Maine to
Minnesota are men of foreign birth, and
and a great portion of them are not citi
zens ol the I. uited States.
You can not secrete the fact from a
(Hrou who takes a trip through these
great pine forests, who watches the in.

the labor, that they nre mu who do not

I know senators who will rise in their
places and discourse upon the beauties
and sing the song of protection, and yet
look at our country and see who profits
by the Imposition of a tarfff of that
kind. Where is the millionaire who has
earned a livelihood or a fortune by his ;
hand or his craft? There is not one. '
But, Mr. President, the .Atlantic sea
board has ita thousand and thousands
of millionaires who have made their mil
lions within tbe last thirty years under
the pernicious influences of high protection.
Mr. Chandleu. Will the senator kind
ly tell us how many thousand million
aires there are on the Atlantio coast?
Mu. Allen. I think about 4.000. I i
do not know that tbe senator from New
Hampshire is one of them. I hone not.
I think it is generally accorded that
there are about 4,')00 of them. Mr.
President a third of a century ago there
was not one. Before the imposition of
the tanH of 1801 there was not a mil
lionaire in this country who had made
his fortune through tariff taxation. Yet
sir, they have increased until they
amount to thousands, and wherein all
the nation can be found a man who is
dependent upon his hands or upon his
bran, as an operative who bas beeu
able to do more than to keep soul and
body together and care for his little fam
ily in an humble way?
1 Know that tbis was called to my at
tention very forcibly a few years ago, I
noticed a littl factory. The mau had
grown rich, bad accumulated a for
tune and when I came to investigate, I
found out that be and bis neighbor, a
few years before, were alike humble
farmers, living upon adjoining farms,
each iudustrious, each possessed of about
the same amount of ability, each eco
nomical. One had grown to have a
tremendous fortune as a manufacturer.
The other had barely held his own dur
ing those thirty years.being able to hold
on to his little homestead.' Can any
man convince you .sir, tbat a law which
will produce results of that kind is just
to those two men? A law, the result of
which will make one class rich and the
other poor is unjust and inequitable;
and when you come to apply alaw of tbat
kind to thousands and tens of thousands
and hundreds of thousands, who are car
rying tbe torch of civilization upon the
great prairies and iu tbe mountains and
upon the valleys of the west, you are
rnposing upon civilization a burden
which it ought not to be called upon to
bear, - ; . .
Sir, make our homes free as free as
theycau be made consistently with' tbe
raising of sufficient revenue to conduct
the affairs of tbe government. Make the
three great essentials to human life, shel
ter, clothing and food, as free as tbe air
and sunlight. Tbe American people are
entitled to have them free as tbey can
be made, consistent with the raising of
revenue to conduct tbe government."
