Comrades, it is with much pleasure that I write these few lines to you. 1 think that we have been fooled by our upposed republican friends longenough, a few years alter the death of poor old Abe Lincoln it has been going down, down, down. That that the old republi can party has lost its identity it is of the past worn out degenerated in the bands of corporations, lawyers and the mooted power. Alasl bow the grand old party has fallen Into the hands of trickey lawyers. I'oor old Rosewater of the Omaha Bee, be is like the bsncking the honey or the sap thut is left of this old party. I suppose when Roaey Mound the republican campaign cry from his grand and lofty building hu will cry to the speakers and say speak honestly to the people for our sins bavefonnd us out no more can we fool the people. No Roey,I think not. The 'Omaha line. World-Herald hus tora the musk from your eyes, and says no corporation law yer need apply. Poor old Uowy our party once honored, now turned to rust and decay. Through corporation rul ings the slave must obey. Alasl while theinnoceut "victims whose boss they dare not disobey. Alasl where are we at. What on forth cud the republican say in this state campaign. For honeMty tbey take t-he cuke. Why do our old aoldiers monkey with, t he II & M. is he their slave?'! thought- tie fought to re lease the slave, Aloe! how he has changed. It's funny to hear some of the old soldiers poke fun at IViynter. Well, there iaoue thing weean say for I'oyeter lie has not made himself a slave in any corKratiou 0 I have heard of. Hoodie fioes a great way with some people no w a-da.vs you bet, and the man who takes it is celled a smart man. In my young dnysbe would he called a traitor and looked upon with contempt by honest voters of hoodie mrlitm. My frimids you will find the rewblicau speakers in this state campaign iu a tight place, tbey will come with the face of an angel and the tongue of a serpent to coil around you for your vote this (all, be ware of them for they will have as oily tongue us any 'Ifofsibub for they know there I no show for tbein but that they will stoop and bow to any man for a 'vote for they know that tbey are lost, lost, lost for thHr crookednees in the past, Comrades excuse me fori am not a learned man, I have done the best I can to warn yon.

HAYWARD'S SPEECH. The Most Astounding Misrepresen tation of Official Records Ever Listened to, Ha Will Bava to Changa HU Spaecti or Ho Will be Laughed Off tha Platform Before tha Cmmfiign Wall Heft-lni. Judge Hay ward made a speech in Lin coin, or to be exact, read one from man uscript which contained the most aston lulling tnistatemente of Official records to which American audience ever listened. The amount In the treasury when Mi-sorvetoo office was overstated by f7l,8T.8r. He pretended to give the amount ol money which Meserve hns received, and while it was to his interest to make it as large as possible, he under stated it by hundreds of thousands. There has been more money distributed to the schools than he says that Meserve has received. 'Perhaps his most absurd argument wnsona that he made to prove t hat Meserve was already short fJiM), 000.00. This is the way he did it: Me serve received f 900,000.00 from Hartley, (he in fact never received any whew near that amount,) and has paid off 700, 000.00 of state debts. Therefore Mh serve is short $200,000.00. That state runt is enouah to make a horse laugh, but Hayward makes it without cracking a smile. The statement pre-eupposes that the state bad no other use for the money than to pay state debts no asy lums, no schools, no legislative executive or judicial expenses." He said I that the folder sent out by the state committee was full of "lies," but he did not point out where asinxle figure was wrong. It was lies became the pay ment of the state debt and the doubling of the apportionment to the schools ought to go to the credit of McKlnley and not to the fusion state o Ulcer. He tried to prove that proposition by claim ing that McKinley had made the state prosperous and that ma-lo It possible for the people to pay their taxes. He claimed, and on that he 1i id the whole force of his argument, that enormous amounts of taxes, much larger than had evur been paid before bad come into the treasury during the last two years. The following are theainounts of taxes paid during the last lour years, the figures Iwing copied from the books of the auditor. (The figures for the taxes ol 1HWH are not yet obtainable.) Taxes paid for th years 1M04 and 1W)5 $2,205,808.80 Taxes puid for the years 1HIM and IH'J7 2,200,244.40 Taxes short under McKin ley prosperity f 59,004.46 sit will be seen that there hue been less taxes paid instead of a greut iucreaee as Mr. ilaywnrd claimed. And yet there tins been f700,0)0.00 of state debts paid. It was not becaiiHe that people puid more taxes that MeHerve was uhe to pay off that much debt, but because the extravagant expenditure of money by a republican administration, was ex changed for a fueion government, that uroceeded to cut down the cost of gov ernment notably in the reduction of the cost of maintaining the sta'e inati tutions, and a great saving iu the cost of maintaining the insane, the convicts, the reform schools etc. Tha money that was thus saved went to pay the state debt. Another argument upon which Mr. Hsvward laid great strrs was that McKinley pronperity had enabled the ieople to pay up back taxes. Delinquent 1 axe, he called "a cash asst." Meeerve, Ita aaid, had a great canti onaet in the de liuqueut tax and that was another rvaaou why tha state debt was paid and the arliool Innd iucrraaed.

RIGHT TO BE RICH. QUESTION CONSIDERED FROM THE STANDPOINT OF CHRISTIANITY. What the lUble llaa to Sajr on tha nlijeet What la lllatorloal anU What la Law la tha Good Hook-A Dlvlna'a Opinion. Do the Scriptures justify any man in securing and holding Holies? This is the question to be considered in this article. Some readers will say : What a question I Is the writer crazy 7 Why, "of course it is right." Now, it is evi dent that the writer bits to moot and buttle with the established prejudices of men iu urguing this question. It is prejudice. Muu's minds are settled on that side. Hence ronson and argument go for llttloor nothing. But Ood's word cannot be rejected without an accumu lation of guilt. If the reudor bas never investigated this question in the light of God's word, it is bis duty to do so nd to accept the truth, and the rejec tion of the truth will involve him in a controversy with bis God. Yon say that there have always boon rich men. Bo 1 say there buve in every ago and nation been bud men, wicked men, thieves, eta . You sny Abraham was rich, and be was a good man, "the father of the faithful. " Ho Abraham had mora than one wife. Is polygamy right? You any, "tioloinon was rinli, and bo wus a good man." Hold I Solomon went iiNtray aft er strnngo gods. lie bad a vast number of wives uiid ooucu bines, nud iu the end bis sun of life set behind durk, fearful clouds. Hut Job certainly was a good man and was richer thun any of tho "kings of the east. " I answer that there is no evidence thut Job ever saw a plena of coined money k bis life. Ua bud flocks and hords, and us be was a chief or king and bud a vast number of servants and subjects to provide fur, ho needed his wealth for this purposo. Me wus rich juft iu tho same kciiho as Uncle Bam" is rich, and by referring to tho thirtieth chapter of lio Hook of Job, the reader will soo that ho used it to supply the wants of the needy. Tho Bible is a true history, It gives fucts. It doesn't whitewash any of its heroes, either living or dead. If they happened to be rich, it gives tho fuot. If they committed adultery or murder or acts of idolatry or any other orimo, it was recorded as a foot of history impar tially. Hut tho Bible is also a hixik con taining luws for the government of men, God is no respecter of persons. One man as much as another is under obligation to obey God's liws, Home great and perhaps good men in thut dark low stato of civilization and knowledge had inoro wives than one, but God's law, enunci ated by Moses, was, "thon shall not multiply lo thyself wives." The man that hud one wife and took another vio lated this law. Ho, iu tudyiug to find out what the law of God is, we must not confound birtory with or for Jaw, and we mm-t make a note of the time or amount of light in tho world. The human race bad to be educated from the A B 0 of knowledge, through long ages up to the time when "lifu and im mortality were brought to light in the gospel. " We are informed by i'aul that God "winked at" some things thut is, be made allowance for them in conse quence of the times of ignorunce. Ho, if some good men wvno slaveholders and polygumiuts and got drunk ut that bur burous ago of tho world and were rich, too, it does not necessarily follow thut good men cun do any one or all of thene things now, under the full blaze of Christiuuity. Whut, then, is the law of property or wealth? The Great Teacher said, "Lay not up trcuMircs on earth." Can any man become rich without violating these plain words of the MaNter? If yon think to, plcitHo tell me how. The Mas ter said, "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than fur a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heuven," and the diw iplcs wern uxton lulled and said, "Who, then, can he saved?" One evangelist says, "They were exceedingly amited. " Hut you say "the needle's eye" whs a little gate by the side of tho largo gatu through which ncaiiitl con Id atpieeH bimulf lv bard pushing when bis loud was taken off. 1 think Dr. Aduut Clark says this, but, unfortunately (or the doctor theory, the httlu grata w, imt made, fur over iiOO years after !he wmiU were Nikrn Hul w Iml did the Matr uieanf II. meant tiaeily what he nud vis. it la lniwitie, a tmii It tiiiHihl for a rich man In inter the klugibaii of hi-itv 11 a fur a camel In go through the of tha t'rtitiltrit! ititullw Itml a lady um In lirr Itiikier when aha sew Thai l tat tly w hat I tin ant.

Everybody muFt sea at a glance that no man in any, calling or enterprise can honestly or justly earn a tithe of suoh vast suras. Now, if every man is en titled justly to all he earns by labor, nd nobody dare take issue with this, thon no one is or can potslbly be justly entitled to any moie than he earus him self by his own labor. These, are self evident propositions. Then we are shut op to this fact viz, no man's wealth can justly exceed what be earns by la bor, for don't forget that labor by some one creates all wealth. Now, the proper inquiry is, How much wealth, how many dollars' worth, can a man cam by labor? Recent statis tics show that the average increase of wealth in (his country yearly was $00 to each laborer. These are the figured, and "figures won't lie." Now, suppote each laborer got all this $800 (but the same statistics show that the average wages paid to each laborer was only $300 Mhylock got tho $600), how much could a man save after supporting a family and every man onght to have a family? Huppose he oonld save half of It, or $400, it would tako 200 yeurs for bitn to own $100,000. But it is hardly enpposublo thut any man cun expect to labor over 40 years; then, at $400 laid v p every year, be would bo worth or own $10,000. If any man succeed iu amuss- ing more than this amount, it must be dona by gathering ia the fruits of other men's toil in some way. By gambling, by stealing, by robbery, by speculation, by usury or loaning for interest, by note shaving or coupon clipping, all of wbieb systems are "getting something for nothing" orgottiug wealth without giv ing uu quivulent, and "don't you for get it." Then we are led by the forogo lug analysis to sco thut the busis of wealth is sonio method by which the fruits of other men's labor can bo filched from tbem, an unjust basis, and wo are driven to the conclusion, bo it popular or unpopular, thut no man can be rich ia the modern sense of the word and be just towurd bis followmen. llov.

To our citizens who are acquainted with the inner secrets of political duals, and who therefore never vote, direct leg islation appeals at once, and every one who loves his country needs only to study the system to become its advocate. The spreud of tho movement in the United States has boon phenomenal. Scattered all over our laud are hundreds of nonpartisan "direct legislation leagues," aad lately the state of Ne braska bus adopted tho system. Those who claim thut better condi tions can only bo brought about by force must bo shown how fallacious is their remedy. They talk of "lynching pnblio plunderors," of "taking the govern ment into their own bauds," etc., just as if the carnage such proceedings wonld surely cause wonld be more child's play, But suppose the revolt would overcome the legal organized forces thut social chaos would be brought ubout what ultimate good could result? Would not those who led the revolution be likely to usurp oontrol of the newly established government and soon the ecouomio conditions be come as bad, if not worse, than tbey uro now? In South America revolutions aro of frequent occurrence. Governments come and go, but the conditions remain tho same. The only feasible plan by which our people can restore to themselves their natural rights i by adopting direct leg islation, and it is the solemn duty of every one to assist iu bunging it about Addrchsof Philadelphia Direct Legis lation League.
