ature ftnaiot the gold standard and
mouopoly rule. Tbe gold bug and mo
nopolist know that if they cuu keep the
people Ignorant that they can fool and
divide them and thereby continue to
rule and rob them, hence their anxiety to
pa tbi Loud postal bill. Tbi oan
gerou bill wa pawned through the
House and wa supported by many
Democrat. When It reached the senate
aud went to the committee on post-olll-cce
and poet road, Senator Duller, n a
member of that committer fought it
and held It In the committee ami pie
vented a report, (though a miijorit of
the committee wa In favor ol it) lor
over two month. W hen at lust the bill
whs reported to the senate, ho Died a
strong aud vigorous minority report,
and made a speech which wa such a ter
rible arraignment of the infiimoii pur
pose of the bill that he succeeded in de
..uiniLr It.
I might also cull attention to the fact
that while tba tarill ha been made a
leading party iueof the peeple' parly,
for in fact tbe miopia' party wa organ-
l.'id to protest ngaiiist the robbery of
the (xiople by the gold syndicate and the
comoineu trui auo monopolies ii
the two old parties fiermifted and were
partiua to, while fighting sham battli1
with each other over the tariff, and
while tbe people' party congressional
caucus passed a resolution to this effect
at the beginning of tha extra .session
and stated that they would not help
either one of tba old parties to revive it
a a leading iue to sidetrack the vital
Issues, ami to this end declared tbat
they would refrain from voting on the
Dual ballot, yet no member of congrns
wa more alert lo the people's interest,
while tbat bill wo pending than wa
Senator flu tier. The Itecord show that
both by voice and vote be opposed every
unjust provision and every discrimina
tion in the bill, Not only that, but be
offered and tiressed a number of Impor
tant amendment. 1 remember now
that be wa the only senator who offered
an amendment to put the ingredient of
fertilizer on the free list, and came with
in one or two votes of passing it. lie
offered the first amendment to put cot
ton bugging and cotton lie on I he free
list aud took the lead in passing an
ttUieudmelit to fill effect, '
ISut space forbid a more lengthy enu
meration. Kufllce it to say that when
Senator Tillman made a sss'ch about a
week after the adjournment of congress
at Moore villa 111 this state lie took oc
casion to pay a high tribute to th work
done by the populist la general, and
Senator llutler In particular on tbe tariff
bill. He said, to us hi owa language,
which 1 quote from memory, a follow;
"I wniitlo say on behalf of Senator Hut
b r of your state that be was found 011
every occasion fighting tba tiusts and
the greed of every grabber, like the devil,
Just as did,"
1 hese are a lew ol the many thing ol
national Importance that Senator .Sut
ler ha accomplished in lil short but
brilliant and uH.lv record; these are
soma of t he lending question which be
himself lias introduced and taken the
lead in, to say not hing of the large num.
her of locul aud private bill which he
ha Introduced, pressed and passed.
Jlesides, the llecord show that he has
always been on hand and taken a promi
nent and active part in every light
where the interests of the jieople were at
stake; tbat be supported with all of Ins
(lower every good measure offered by
any one else, that he opposed vigorously
every bod measure.
Now, therefore, a a citizen of the
state, a bi countryman, as hi play
mat to fjoyhwJ an! sehool nays, I
trust that 1 can with pardonable pride
ask if any man ho ever in five or ten
year lu th senate accomplished so
much 7 It seems to me that every news
paper in the state, no matter to what
party It belonged, would gladly publish
these facte as a matter of stat pride, if
for nothing else. Dut on the other baud
what do we see? hither out of partisan
littleness or because they are muzzled or
controlled by monopolies (which Sena
tor Kutler has so vigorously and sue-
cessfuliy fought) they not only refuse to
give him credit, but denounce him and
misrepresent him in every possible way.
And this Is why I ask space to publish the
above. No one cnu aipl'clute the work
he bu done uules he has rcud each day
the Congressional Itecord Sooner or
later tbe people will learu tbe truth, aud
us tbey do theinllueuceof these partisan
aud monopoly pajier to misrepresent
and abuse a man and to prevent the
truth will, I trust, be largely destroyed.
Our ropullHt member ol the house
had no opportunity to do anything in
the legislation of congress on account of
tba gag methods of liar Heed in Mus
ing to appoint committee, but I am
confident tbs nublla may look for a fine
record from them also at the nxt ses
slon of congress. Very respectfully,

Subject of Senator Wolcott's Speech
at a New England Society
Festival.
A NEW PARTY ALIGNMENT,
Tbe Far West Will Assuredly
Join Hands With
the South.
A "Conviction" 1 Mur than a Craze
Last neck the ninety second annual
festival of the New Kuglaud society wa
held at Iclmoulw' in Now York City.
Four hundred member of tbe society
and their blends, including' ninny dis
tinguished men, were preseut. Among
those who sat at the guest of honor
table were J, J'icrpont Morgan, Joseph
ll.Cboate, OenJ Wesley Morritt, James
Wbitcomb lliley, Klchurd Olney, Senator
KdwurdO. Wolcott, the Jtov. l)r, Ly
man Abbott, flov. Frank H. Klack, Hen
ator fJworge V, Hour, .'resident Charles
YV, i;ilot. Geo. Nelson A. Miles and
Mayor William L. Strong.
The dinner wa made up of good, old
New L'ugluml dishes, udd during it dis
cussion a quartet, assisted by t lie greater
portion ol those present, sung popular
airs,
The speeches began at 1 0 o'clock and
Dr. Lyman Abbott responded to tbe
toast, 'Forefather's Day." Gov.
lllack responded to tbo toast, 'The Htate
ol New York."
Fresideut Charles W. L'liot of Harvard
university said tbat the puritan spirit
survives and that the deceudant ol the
puritan are now doing Just such thing
a the puritans themselves hud done.
Senator Kdwurd O. Woloott of Colo
rado nxMiived hearty apulaus when he
arose to respond to the toast "Tbu Fast
aud the West." ,
Mr, Wolcott begun with a humorous
refercuce to tbu political resignation
with which tbe exiles from Now I nglaud
bore their banishment; then spoke upon
present political conditions, and con
tinued: "For more than a generation we have
waited for tbu day when parties would
divide solely on national questions, aud
when the old sectional Issue growing
out of the wur uud the race problem
would be buried. 1 be time came. J lie
parties met on a broad economic que
tion, aud lo, wa emerge from the contest
threatened with mother bitter sectional
division. Tbo lar west, largely the child
olthw cast and pulsing with Its blood,
join 1m uds with tlm south, 'ihu new
alhzumuut Is not only debtor ugaiust
creditor, diss against class; but in a
land jiervttdeU witti equal oevotion to
what its (icople believed in tbu truest
welfare of the whole country, great ma
jorities in one suction face equally great
majorities in another.
"So universal a iceiing a mat wincn
pervade the great west cannot all be
wrong. lou cannot dispose oi a con
viction held by million of intelligent
people by calling It a cra.o, aud some
day you may flud it worth your while to
look for th truth where it I usually
hidden somewhere between extremes.
"Somehow it Is not readily recognized
iu tbe west tbat tbe ability to reorgan
ize a western raulroad and swell Its
stock aud securities seveial million every
time it 1 foreclosed, necessarily Indi
cates an equal ability to determine the
wisest economic policy tor tlie lurmer
wbo live along the right of way. And
mini wbo would no morn dream of in
trusting their banker with the duty of
formulating their financial view tban
they would of intrusting a muu of whom
they bought a shotgun with the com
mand ol the unities of their country,
are naturally inclined to fear tbat In
this part of tlie iiionil vineyard there Is
a tendency to ussiime that the posses
sion of great wealth means necessarily
the iiossesHion of great wisdom.
"Ilie century now ending bus been lull
ol growth and glory. It ha witnessed
th republio rise from iulgniflcauc and
poverty to wealth uud greatness.
Most ol u here tonight can recall the
dark day of doubt aud from them have
seen the people emerge in triumph a na
tion ol freedom, all Iree. A continent's
width may divide us, but the same Hag

KniTon Inpki'K.nhknt:
Ckntiiai. Citv, Nkii,, In several of
your late Issue J have noticed articles
from tliomj who are opposed to "fusion"
so called, and favoring a "mlddlo-of-tlio
road" party, I have canvassed among
t he furmers near me, and taking their
sentiments us the wishes of the masse,
I wish to say a few word relative to
tbi proposition. It has been cleurly
nhown In the past that the Independent
party alone cannot carry more than one
or two state In the Union. United with
(he democrat last year, they elected
Mr.liryun president, but be wa count
ed out. JnlHD'l, a union of force in
Nebraska elected Mr. Allen United States
Senator, The best muu ever went to the
senate from Nebraska. The Hon. C. I).
Cnspcr made it possible for us to do
this, and hu Is di inocrut, and a good a
man us you can find In the state. Shall
we tell such men that they cannot share
with u In the denning out of the rotten
state olllces because he Is a democrat?
The union of forces elected the entire
state ticket In 1 H'.Xi. Shall we kick out
our Attorney General because he wishes
to be called a democrat? He 1 making
it hot for tlm boodlers. We would buve
been totally defeated if we bud told the
silver democrat and republicans that
we did not want them. If we want their
voles why not be mini enough to give them
u share iu the administra tion of affairs.
Such men us W, II, Thompson. I'. 1).
Cuspcr, General Dates, of Aurora and
V ouster of Merrick county, cannot
be Ignored aud pushed aside. They
have a I urge following and are in en of
honesty and a lot of good brains. We
cannot kick such men out of the line and
win. 1 don't care what tug you put on
these silver democrats and republican's
back. They are our friends and are hon
est, and that I all wo furmers want.
Must we turn down the gruudest Itoman
of them all, W. J, Dryan, aud put up
three party tickets and let our eiiemie
win? Hits be slopped over in any place
we have put him? Dead all his speeches
and see If some of these little "middle-of-
the-road" fellows can find a mistake
during tbe campaign of 1 H'Jd, McKinley
never, during the entire campaign, spoke
an encouraging word to the lurmer,
Ills entire plea wu for the producer to
be kept at the mercy of the consumer,
Mr, llryan spoke for all. Shall we turn
down our friend and elect our enemy in
1 1XXI?
We have t be best governor everelected
in Nebraska. Shall we kick out Stf.OOO
or 110,000 and elect a few more thieve
to take the place In the ( upito!7
Some ol thoe "middle-ol-the road
fellow may be out of a job and are dis
gruntled because the governor or the
other room mate of bis, could not find
a place for every voter who asked lor
(lie or expected something lor hi vote.
1 am not looking ,or pie, ami I waut to
sch every IioiichI man iu the state, no
matter what party he claim u his pre
ference, united under one banner, fight
ing that devil tlsh (nail street).
Next full I wish to see the same state
officer nominated aud elected. If we
could slip iu a good silver republican
like VVoosteror Ueneral Dates, 1 will go
to the poll and vote a early and often
a the board will let me.
Hut the tanners out here, say they
want no more middle-ol-the road fellow
around them. They have bad Dill
Deck and Marsh (Older and that Is enough
for them. Next fall, we must unite aud
elect a silver majority In tbe state legis
lature, every man pledged to vote for
Hon. Wm. V. Allen for Senator. There
fore, we don't car what tag the candi
date wear, he I my man il be Is lor
Allen. Nothing would please me better
tban to see that hot headed old demo
crat Casper gel a good Job to pay him
lor what h did lu senator Allen' behalf.
He Is no Hartley, and has back-bone and
brain. Tho who advocate th" middle
of-the road scheme, nr not the friend
of those who wish to sea an honest ad
ministration ol affair in the state and
United States. They simply want a
nomination for notoriety, for tbey know
they I'll II not Im elected.

PURPOSE OP SAVINGS BANKS.
To Encourage Frugality and Wis In
vestment by tbe Poor.
In Lewin'a "History of Savings Bank"
occur the following quotation, indicat
ing the chief object to be kept in mind
by those wishing to benefit the poor by
helping them to safeguard their small
accumulation: '
"I do not Imagine that there cau be
any more important end and object of a
state than to encourage frugality, and
the investment of the saving of the
poor, and there is nothing which I should
be more tempted to step out of my way
to encouruge 11 1 were a legislator; but 1
think the great test uud object of what
ever Investment 1 provide especially for
them must be extreme and perfect cer
tainly. Increase in amount of Interest
or profit I a nothing as compared to
escurity."
This quotation gi ve tho cut rent Ideu
a to the chief purpose which a euvings
system should subserve and the greut
object ol the national government in es
tablishing such a system. For realizing
thi object nothing yet devised can equal
postal savings Jmnk. for, they make the
security to the depositor coextensive
with the stability of the government it
self. The mutual saving bank of New
ICnglund are very creditable institutions
and probably serve the needs of the per
son of small mean in those communi
ties' a well a any private institution
can. Still, oven they will not compare
with postal saving banks, either In- the
convenience they offer to depositor or
In security. They would, Indeed, pay a
slightly higher rate of Interest to de
positor than would a postolllco bauk,
and those seeking the higher interest
rate could avil themselves of thi ndvunt
age. Hut to most persons of small
means thi is a very trilling matter us
compared with the absolute security
which the postal savings system afford.
