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. Oh Lord of the uni

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. Hut here whs

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

this vast sum bas been gathered to
gether in the last 80 or 70 years.
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. I)

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

In a recent speech Tom Wutstm, while
