THE NEBRASKA INDEPEDENT July 22, 1897 later! to show that the proposed tale 1 would be a fair one, that it would be a public autioo and the road would be sold o the hitchest bid der. Senator Warreo inquired: May I in terrupt my ditlnpuihed frieud the senator from Nebraska? As I under stand the procedure proposed, it I not anale at $28,000,000, uot a sale at 115,000,000. It in an auction sale to tbe highest bidder, and it In open to the whole world to bid. No Jiersou, corpor ation, or association is restricted from bidding. Is that not true? Mr. Allen. I discussed that question twenty minutes a(jo, before the senator was here, and admitted that. Mr. Warren. Is it not true? . Mr. A lion. Yes, sir: it Is true. Mr. Warreu. May I ask another ques tion? Mr. Allen. It Is nominally true. Mr. Warren. If, as ths senator clnim- sd, a few uilnutos ago. It Is bow impossi ble to et any bid from any quarter owing to the organization ol capital, In what wsy does the senator propose at some other time to dispose of the rail road? Mr. Allen. I propose that the Kovorn inent shall reduce It to government own ership and oporatH It. Mr, Warren. Then may I ask still another question? What does the sena tor propose to do in cases such as those In the newer slates where the Inhabltnnts have settled upon lands, have gnuo Into business, have made their homes, and paid the government price for lands and doiwiid uoon tbe building and operating , of these railroads, and that such roads should pay their proportion of taxes to unnort state, county, city ana scnooi oipenses? What does the senator pro pose to do to provide for the payment of the tines, state and municipal, wnen the government shall own the road? The government, as the senator knows, novi lmvs taxes ution its oronerty, Me. Allen. Tluirn U tint hliiu- i.l that there Is no substance to the question. In the first plucn the people In those towns and communities would save Infinitely more than their tuxes by low freight ami imskmiwh rates. Nenntor (Jour hers interrupted to in auire concerning the uuvniMitof taxes, ami attempted to show thut the schools could not be supported except by the taxes paid lir thn Union I'acillo rail roud. Keiiator Allen replied that the people pay all the taxes ultimately any way, If they did not pay tiiem ns direct tax, they paid them in lucrea cliMi'irna for f retail I and passenger rates, When they had finished their questioning Menator Allen continued: When diverted from the course of my remarks by thn Interruption of the sen a tor from Wyoming and the senator from Iowa I wus proceeding to say thut the populist party In Ncbruska were not In fuvor of that kind of a foreclosure which was rclerrcd to by my coliengue. but In favor of that other kind, which is as much a foreclosure at law as a decree at court, namely, the taking possession of the road under the terms of the mortgage or lion, under the terms of the statute In this case, What Air. Iiryau may think of this matter I do not know, nor would It bo proper for me to say if 1 did. The senator from Iowa (sees much trouble Id the government owning and operating railroads. 1 wish the senator would speuk out, so that we can get It upon the record. Mr. (Jenr, I said 1 do. Mr, Allen. He says he see much trouble; and yet it is not at all a new thing. A great many governments of the world own their entire s.VNtem of . railway mid operate them. I have here a list of some. TIih Argn tins Republic owns 020 miles of railway. Five-sixths of the ruilwuys of Australia belong to the various col oniul governments. In Attstriit-Ilun- gary about 40 per cent of the mileage is owned and about 73 iercent Is operated by the state. '1 hree-fotirths of the mile ngn of Hclgium Isowned and operated by the state. The state owns one-fourth of the total mileage of Urn nil nnd does onc half of the i utlie railway business of the country. In tumult, one-tenth of the mileage Is owned laud controlled by the government. One-hnlf of the railways of the tupeof Good Hope, or KuglishSoutli Africa, isowned by the government, lu Colombia the ruilways have been sub aldiced by the gor frnmeut with the un derstanding that at a certain period they will become government property, lienniark owns and control three fourths of the total mileage of hor rail ways. Kgypt owns and operates Its railway. In France the Mil ways are ultimately to become the proj rty of the government. They have a mixed system of stats und private ownership. Ninety permit of the railway mileage of tier many U owned by thn government. In Kngliind, by the i;it of 1XU tt was pro vided that the government should have the right to acquire any railroud con structed with its aid by piirchaMing ths same fur a sum equal to twenty-five years of annual divisible profits et. nutted on the niiuiuil pro lit for Hint hive years prvw.luiH I lie dale of .urlia...

Senator Butler as chairman ol the national committee denied the churge that such a document had been prepared and Senator Allen continued. Turning to Mr, Gear he said: The senator from Iowa will not get me to follow an Ignis fatuus of bis own crea tion" t Mr Gear. I do not want to coax the aenntoroff. I like to hear him Mr. Allen The senator can not do it. 1 bring the senator back to the prop osltion that the solution of the railroad problem In this country is government ownorship. He denies it. 1 wiMh to call his attention to the fact that th groat governments of the world are rapidly panning to government ownership of railroads. Mr. (liiur. I fall to see it. Mr. Allen. Why are they doing that? Because a railway Is a great untural monopoly. It Is a thing in which all the iu.nr.litrltitflrebil like the sunlight, and thn air. and tho water. A railroad Is a necessity to a community. All poo- pie are Interested in the qneHtion of transportation. All ure Interested in the transmission of news by telegraph, Mnfl.. vnvari.iiii.nl: nnt on v has tie right, but it is a duty to its citizens to ruAnou fit nun ttrnt iurt liU in crnvornmont 1 Now, here Is an opportunity. Here is care to say except to make the sugges n t.rnr.r f im an vi.rn mnnt of th United tion that a speedy settlement of theaf- States built. There is not a stockholder In the Union Pacific Kailroad Company who. practically sponklng, put a dollar Into It. It was a gift of the government, U'l.r nnt t.xha iw.KMfi.mlon of this road nn, I r,.il,ii. It in ioverniiimit ownership mil niM.entn If. In the interest of the peo- rile who t in id for It? There Is no reason, none whnUtrer. whv that should not be done except that which lurks behind the reasoning of the senator from Iowa, that some prlvnte corporation wants to fat- tun n r inn tlm rniul. Mr. llnller. I will add that it would force the railroads which have to com- pete with the Union Pacific to reduce their fares and rates to a reasouabloand honest basis. The Southern PtcilW; would be nfritld of the competition If the irfivnpiiiniiiit. would oiiernlii the Centre.! Pacific and the union puelflo as a throinrh lino. So won d the Northern Pacific and every other railroad. Here Is a chance to test what you churge, that the roads can not be operated nractlcitllv bv the government, and von are afraid ol the test, and run from it. This would make a fair practical test and wosld kill government ownership forever if it did not prove succesnful. Wo are readv to mnke tho test, and you are afraid of it Senator Tillman Interrupted with the (lueation, "Is uot this railroad now run by tho government?" Mr. Allen. Yes, sir: and it has been for several yoars. Mr. Tillman, I mean has not the judicial arm control, absolutely? Air. Allen. 1 cm, sir. Mr. Tillman. Why should not the prenident or the executive nrtn try this thing for a while under congressional action rather than that irresponsible tiidges should be allowed to do it f Air. Allen. The government Isruunlng it through its judicial brunch In the Interest of private citixens, lathe inter ests of certuin stockholders. I1 or the government, through its executive branch, to take the road and operate it In the Interests of the pople would be In the interests of the government, and there is u vaat difference between the intercuts of a private corporation and tho Interests of the people, according to our mends on the other side. Mr, Tillman. I cull the attention of the senator to another foot. Not only Is this road being run by tho govern nieut, but about one-fifth of tho railroad trulllc of the United State is being done by the Judicial arm of the gavernment. and we have consequently govcrnmen tul ownership or direction that Is, con trol- through the jmiicinr.v ovijr a large percentage one filth of the mileage of this country," A considerable (IImciihmiom prcciputated by Senator Tluirn ton followed ns to what roads were in the hands of recciv ers und who they weie, nnd whether they were memliers of the proponed reorgan izntioii committee alter which Senator Allen continued. Mr, President when interrupted I wiih dlMi'UHNing the queetion of government nwueraliip of rnilwu.vs, and I had taken the opportunity to show a greut many d the governments of the world owu und operate their own railwy syetcms The senator from Iowa who hit hou oreit me with his preKcnco until now made the Htatemetit that railroad can not lie operated Py the government ns heap as by private corporation or by rivate entcrpriHcs. Hut 1 am ready to quintlon the accuracy ol the statement 1 my friwtid, for I do not see how it is posxible for a man to be no thoroughly and accurately lioeted on the details of a great movement like this whwu he has 110 menus of refreehlng his memory on an impromptu iIiwuhhiou covering nl moht the entire Hubject.

Sir, there Is not an argument that can be made against it except that prompted by greed, except that argument that is all-powerful and all-potent in tue coa gressof the United states, that a few corporations must have an opportunity to fleece the people at their will. Now, sir, here Is an opportunity test the doctrine oi government owner ship. Of the nations of the eayth thnt have railways the governments them selves own and operate 75 per cent of those railways in whole or in part Several of the states of this Union have tried It. Some of theiu are operating railways today with protlt, making money out of thetn. We have con structod canals nnd locks and own them charging toll. We are talking 01 con structlng the Nicaragua Canal, 1G8 miles long, and owning ana operating It, putting probably f.JOO.000,000 Into it before we get through, and charging tolls. What is there, Mr, President, to prevent the government from owning and operating in is or any outer oonu aided road of which it may legally and riurh tfull v take pohhbhhiod i Mr. President I have said about all fairs of the road are of vital Importance to the people represented In tbischamber uy my colleague ana mysen ami ine peo- pie of our western states reached by this Hue of railroad. There must came a time, and that speedily, when the whole matter will tie adjusted, when the nterests of the gov eramunt will be cared for proporl and when the rights of the shlptiers.over this road will be cured for equal!' v as well. 1 do not think I am going to far, certainly not beyond the bounds ol the truth, when I say there are certain portions of tho west which ate absolutely at the mercy of tfils railway, Every bushel of wheat and corn and outs und every pound of beef produced there are controlled In price by the rates fixed by thiscomp.iny There Is but one solution of the problem In my Judgment, and that is to foreclose the government lien upon the prrperty reduce It to government ownership and control, as provided by tho uct of 1802 1804, and 1H87, und then fix the rates at such a figure ns will keep op ami maintain the road In fairly good repair and pay its operating expeiiMes, and be just and reasonable 10 those who are compelled to ship over it. If that is dono, sir, I have no doubt it will save millions of dollars a year to the people of Nebraska mono, I have no doubt that the govern 'in n could operute this road and keep it in repair and pay Its expense 00 rates at least a half lower thuu thn present rates exacted by it of shippers. That money would go Into tho pockets of thousands of men scattored over the prairies of Nebraska who to. day are engaged in the profitless pursuit of agriculture, made profitless to a great extant by the un restrained exactions of this compuny in fixing its freight rates. If that, shall uot be done, sir, the poo tile of the state of Nebranka and adjoin ing states reached by this road will be taken by tho throat and held up by this compuny or by whatever compuny may succeed it for generations to come and their property confiscate I by renou the linpoNltlon ol unusual and unjiiHt rates. If the government does not see fit to follow the plain provisions of the statute, if this administration, like the last, shall refuse to follow out three mandatory statutes on the subject und take posHeHriion of the properly und re duce It to government ownership, then the people of tho sections through which the road runs mnst submit themselves to the mercy of the company ns no coiiKiructed or as It may bo reorgan ized; und if ths latter, the people will suffm to tho extent of millions of dollar , year for all time.

Special Correspondence. Hundreds of yeurs ago a man wrote, "Hope deferred niaketh the heart lick." I was reminded of tbis today by some things I itud in a paper. One of tbfiin was this extract from a speech re ocntly made in Philadelphia by Prcsi dent McKinley: But tul me tell you, my countrymen, a rs- mcltation will not tie promoted by recrlmt aation. The (1UI runt of t)u premint will not be removed by dlntruxt U th futnre. A patriot matte better clllm tluin a pemilmiat, and ws nave got to be putiuut, for, muuh as we may want to move out of the old Iioum, w cannot do it until the new one I flnlxhed. A tariff law half made la of no practical uhc except to lnill('Ui that In a little whllo a whole tariff law will bo done, and It is making prog' res. It Is reaching the end, and when the end comes we will have miHlne confidence and tnduatrlal a:tivity. Let us koep stout hearts and steady beads. Ths country is not going backward, bnt for ward. A mcrieon energy ha not been destroyed by ths storm of the paet. It will yet triumph through wise and beneficent loKlslation, Tbe same paper which recorded this spocch contained accounts of 13 suicides which hud been committed in tho itu mediate vicinity of New York In Jess than two duys. What a pity that such of them as were despondent because of bard times could not bavo been within sound of tho voice of tbe apostle of 0011 fldenoe and protection I How much tbey needed tbe exhortation, "Let us keep (tout hearts and steady hernial" It is perhaps somewhat easier to keep a stout heart with a $50,000 salary which thn wbolo peoplo are pledged to pay than it is when "oat of a job" and empty of stomach, "(Starved in tbe street I Mary Uroch, aged 19, walked about the city until she fuiutod. Three days without food. " That is another beading in the samo paper with Mr. McKlnlcy's speech. Here is still another: "The gullivun bavo no borne. Evicted, be is sent to u hospital, but his aged wife and chil dren sleep outdoors." Wo' read these things every dity if we read the papers, but they are not always uccompunicd by confidence speeches,' First it was the election that was to restore confidence and prosperity. How utterly that pro diction failed ull tho world knows. Now "tho turilT" is held op as an object of hope, We seem to be in the condition of the donkey which tho farmer, sitting In tho cart behind, kept going all day by fuMtening a turnip to the end of a long stick and holding it just beyond Uie donkey's none. Tbe poor, patient beast trudged on with tho turnip held ont, always jut so far before him. He could never overtake it. 80 has "pros- perity" been held out for and by tbe optimists till hope deferred has wude many a heart sick. Governor Uushuell said to Mr. Iiryan a lew days ago, "Every promise thut was made will bo fulfilled if you will but give thn Ilcpublicuu tinio." Per haps so; but, as Lincoln used to say, That reminds me of a story:" A. bet with 11. thut he eonld throw him (11.) across a river. A. tried it, and D. drop ped into tlm middlo of tho river. Ho twain t tho bank and demanded tlm wnger a large sum. A. refused to have it given op. "Do yon suppose I get discouruged with one trial?" he asked of his dripping Victim. "I do if you don't," replied 15. This is only a story, butwhtut the Republicans plead for "more time" in "which to perform an impossiblo task while we are buffet ing tho waves of adversity I think of it. It is quite us possible for one man to throw another across the Mississippi river at its widest part its for tho tan If to ecru tlm hard times, and a good many people object to even tho "one trial" of what is sure to end in disaster. mere nccins ro be a good deal 01 a graveyard whistle, keep up your cour age sound to Mr. MrKinley's speech.
