Tbe republican managers In this state
bemud to be possessed with tbe Idea
that tbey san loo! populist, voter with
little tricki liko their rcsoln'lon sudors-
tog the McKluley war and then laying
that tbe populist governor vetoed the
resolution of thanks to the iret Ne
braska, or utartlug out a squad ol
mlddle-of-the roaders, or publishing res
olutions of a Farmers Alliance when no
such resolutions were ever passed by
' anvbody of farmers. Their lastrper.
foniiance was even more silly than any
that bad proceeded' A fake committee
appeared in Lincoln pretending to be
; authorised by the legislature to Invent!
gate the state offices.
Will these silly people ever learn that
the voters of tbe populist party are not
to be fooled w,lth such silly tricks? ' Tbe
men who make op the strength of tbe
populist party are a reading and ink-Ill
gent citisenshlp. They, have formed
their opinions by long study. It would
be just as sensible to talk baby talk to
'grown up man as to try to fool tbem
with such simple little strategems.
These farmers can discuss political
economy and the science of government
intelligently with all comers. A proof
of this statement we publisn a speech
made by a "pop farmer and printed In
this paper July 8d 1891. This farmer,
John Buobanan, still Uvea on his farm
near Lincoln, and there are hundreds
more like blm scattered all over No
braska. Is it probable that a man who
can make a speech like the following can
be fooled by any of these little tricks
upon which the republican managers
'rely. Mr. Buchanan said:
We have now arrived at a period when
it is necessary for ns to ask, "Whither
are we drifting?" We find unrest and
discontent oa every side. In the midst
of the greatest abundance we find many
. who are poorly fed and poorly boused.
The cause of this and tbe remedy is a
f treat problem for tbe producers and
aboring el asses.
Almost every man has bis hobby or
theory.' Bat all are agreed that the
times are oat of joint and something
must be done speedily.
A change is needed in onr transporta
tion system, our land system and our
monetary system. National banks
should be abolished, and all money,
gold, silver asd paper, should be issued
y the general government and made
legal tender lor all debts, both public
and private. Not less than ISO per
capita should be issued and tbe volume
kept ap to that.
Tbis will be denounced by bankers,
but bear in mind that they have bad
their way about tbe contraction and
manipulation of thecurrency for twenty
Are years. It would hardly be good pol
icy to eall in tbese men to consult.
Their Interest and your interest are tbe
same, but don't go tbe same way. It
goes out of labor's pocket and into tbeir
coffers. The interest tbey get you want
to keep, ttouwy liwuml by the govern
ment bears no Interest at tbe point of
issue.
Uereinllee the secret of tbe bankers'
hostility to tbe greenback currency. It
brings in no usury, and usury gathers
tbe wealth of the country into the hands
of tbe few.
r. Nor is It subject to their control to
ooLtraot or eipand It at their sovereign
will whenever their interest demands it,
no nmttefc what becomes of the "dear
people." v
The labor of this country and every
other country, under the present system
of Issuing Money through bauks of issue,
is eontiolM by a few persons who con
trol tbe lsn ol money.
(Jo?raweal money Is not called In
from circulation except as received for

That is very true. But tbey forget to
tell you that the law of supply aud de-
maud Is controlled by the amount of
money in circulation. This Is where
tney get tbe farmers. Dy controiing the
money they can tlx the price ol larm pro
ducts with the help of boards of trade,
trusts and railroads. With more money
in circulation (not in tbe bank) there
would be won competition, more bust,
nees, more work and better prices. You
want more equality and less aristocracy,
more greenbacks and lens bank notes,
more money in every man's reach and
U'ss favor for tbe petted lew.
During the late war to save tbe na
tion's life, King Gold, as on all such oc
casions . sought bis bole, crawled In and
pulled the hole In after blm. and stayed
until after the bear was killed. Then be
came out with bis war paint on, bran
dishing his tomahawk, crying for blood
when there was no more blood to shed.
But be bad to kill something, so be slew
bis elder brother, silver, and has ever
since Deon making Irantio efforts to slay
the child of promise, tbe "rug baby"
(greenbacks) and nt the sums time nurs
ing and nuturlng tbe bastard bank note.
The green bucks fought the battles of
country and clothed and fed the finest
army that ever trod the earth, and
should be good enough to pay tbe
bloated hulk who injured his spine in
lifting the Interest on the buslnexs end of
the bonds, and had to go to tiurope to
recuperate, at tbe expense of tbe "dear
people."
"Kierual vigilance Is tbe price of lib
erty," Is just as. true today as a hun
dred years ago, and more. I take the
following from a newspaper that shows
bow things have been working - lor the
past 25 years:
'In 1804 ajaroier In Michigan sold his
farm of 100 acres for $100 per sere, for
which he received f 10,000. With tbis
he purchased ' $10,000 of government
bonds, (tearing 0 per cent interest In
ooln. The Interest on the bonds, to
gether with bis labor, kent him and bis
and bis family without adding to or tak
ing from tbe original amount. In 1873
he exchanged the 0 per cent bonds for
four per cent bonds, doe in 1907, and
tbe bonds, together with tbe premium
are now worth $12,500. And after the
purchaser of tbs farm has spent all the
best years of bis life on (be farm it can't
now be sold for $ 4,000.' ,
This calls to mind, no donbt, the true
Interpretation of tbe 5-20, 7-30 and
10-40 bouda, which is that the clod
hopper must gt up and out at work at
5 o'clock aud 20 minutes sharp every
morning and work till 7 o'clock aud
80 minutes In the evening, while tbe
banker and bondholder can lay In bed
till 10 oclock and 40 minutes, and then
get up and cheat him ont of it all before
supper time. At least that Is tbe way
It works, l ns farmer makes his money
by bard knocks. Tbe banker and bond
holder by 'Be it enacted by tbe senate
and house of representatives.' .
In 1804 and '65 we had in circulation
$50 per capita of government money of
different Issues. Prices were good and
the farming Interest was in a prosperous
condition. Tbe same can be again under
like circumstances. '
I make no war on bankers because
they are bankers, but against tbe sys

year In and year out, and when harvest
time comes old Shy lock comes along and
must have bis pound of flesh. He sifts
out and garner the fat and leaves you
the husks and nubbins to winter on, and
to buck the blizzird in a linen duster.
How much longer do you want such a
state of sffars to last, when you bars
it in your power to call a halt and re
verse the machinery? If a high protec
tive tarin Is essential V prosperity wby
have not we got it? if free trade Is an
essential element to prosperity wby has
not hngiand got 117 it a high protec
tive tariff and from to reduction In
railroad rates, a compared to what we
have In Nebraska, is esential to pros
perity, wby hss not Iowa got It? It
looks reasonable that something more
Is needed beside free trade, protection
and maximum rates on railroads, and
that on thing needful is money, green
books, a toot of trad, a medium of ex
change, a legal representative of the
valus of labor and tbs product of labor.
It is a necessary to th bualnwe of the
country a blood to th system. If you

Instead of contracting tW currency to
consumate tbe specie resumption fraud
they should have Increased it, as tbe
war was over aud the flood gates of the
south were raised, which gavslt mors
territory to spread over, and there
'would have been a contraction In that
direction, without withdrawing It or
burning It up. The public debt today
should all be In th hands of the people
at borne In tbe shape of a legal tender
currency, and It would then be a public
blessing instead of, an now, a public
curse In the bands of ths money power.
Could the farmers and laboring classes
of this nation but one understand
how they have been and are being
robbed through the manipulation of the
currency of th nation and tbe railroad
and tariff systems, no power on earth
would stay the tide that would sweep
the kings from off the throne. There nr

lean desert, la years gone by to maks
yourself a bom for your declining years,
and you find it 'going, going and gone,
beneath tbe heartless rap of the sheriff s
hammer, and are told to arise wud
move on toward tbe setting sun. They
toll you that this great financial ques
tion Is so complicated aad intricate In
Its bearing on the business Interest of
the country that It takes a master mind
to understand it. It would be danger
ous to trust It In tbe hands of the Inex.
perlenoed. They have managed It (and
tbey understood It) in the post 25 years
so as to mske two separate and distinct
classes, millionaires and paupers, and
both were made by the same act. And
tbey tell you t hntyou must be contented
with that station in life that the Al
mighty is pleased to plat yoa In. .
They talk to yon about public faith
and credit, a sound and stable currency,
and that It must be on a rock bottom
and on honest payment of debts. (1 bey
seldom ever pay a debt unless they can
make a bigger on to do It with,) and a
protective tariff to make a borne market.
All these thing they bold up between
yon and them to parry off the darts
you csst at their wickedness, and all
this they have done for thegood of man
kind and the glory of God.
Wowly but surely, tbe monopolies ar
winding tbeir coils around you, and un
less you riee In your power and lav ths
monster at your feet, yau yourself will
be crashed to earth, to rise no more.
All efforts to better your condition In
either of the old parties Is time, money
and labor spent for nothing. Its wise in
time. Don't losetb opportunity to
reap tbe golden harvest that Is now
ripening for you, for 'there Is a time in
the affairs of men. which, taken at tbs
flood, leads on to fortune.' The tide is
now rising on your behalf. Be ready to

Mews of the Week
McKJnley's censorship la tbe Philip
pines still continues to play havoo with
every American interest, there is no
longer a particle of doubt tbtt ths con'
dition of the troops in Manila and In
camps round about there Is terrible. It
Is bftoause of the awful suffering, wblob If
known lu the United States before tbe
full elections, would of Itself overthrow
the whole McKinley policy, tbs t Otis has
shut down on tbe news closer, than
evrJ
However, some news has leaked but at
Washington, It appears that tbs sur
geon general has sent a dispatch saying
that lis would no longer hold himself
responsible for tbe health conditions
among the troops, and, If bis rsqulsl
tions were not honored, he asked that
ho might be nlieved from the duties ol
his position. He says that 25 per cent
ol tbe soldiers ar In tbs hospitals or
sick In quarters and that many more are
kept nu duty who ought to bo In the
hospitals.
On, the other hand h declare that ths
hospitals are altogether Inadequate and
that every one of tbem Is crowded to re
pletlon. la the camp flooded with
water, with tbe rain pouring down la a
torrent almost constantly, lbs condition
seems to be beyond description. Add to
this the fact that Otis refuses to let tbe
correspondents say anything about th
beat prostrations or to send lists of the
deaths by disease, shows that the condi
tion there fully justify old Tscumseh's
description of war,
Tb reason wby tbe Administration
has not sent more troops to tb Philip
pines is now very plain. If th demand
of tb Imperialist had been compiled
with and there were 40,000 troops In
and around Manila instead of 12,000 or
15,000, there would be a state of affairs
that would horrify tb whole world.
Uow could 15,000 slckv and dying men
be taken car of that far from borne? It
e, to be Impossible to take ears of
tbe sick that are there now, and if tbe
nnmber were doubled, tbe horror of tb
Crimean war would be eclipsed. To send
more men to tb Philippines during; tb
rainy season, is to send men to die- of
burning levers in tropical jungles,
Tbs Imperialists still continue to talk
about enthusing northern energy into
the business and production of tbe trop
ics. Tbey might as well try tovbullda
refrigerator In hades. Northern men go
ing to tbe tropics may retain tbeir en
ergy for a few months If tbey go there
la tbe right season of tbe year. After
that. If tbey remain, it will take years to
get thoroughly accliroatod. When tbey
get acclimated tbey have about tbe
same amount of energy left as tb aver
age native. Think bow much energy a
man would put forth In weather like we
have bad in Nebraska the last few weeks,
when It continues month after month
without change! Uow much "energy"
was tbere'vlsibls on tb streets ol Lin.
coin during last week? An imperialist
can talk mor nousenae than any other
ortatur on earth.
Tber Is no doubt that tb Stat Jour
nal bas been suppressing sonis ol It
Philippine- correspondence and at th

Otis not only censored tb cable dis
patches but laid violent ban J upon ths
malls. Bvverul letters received of late,
state that b refused to let the malls go
out. lie must bavs held them for more
than two weeks as some of th letters
recently received were written about the
middle ol May. McKinley has a whole
some fear of what tbe boys have to say
about this Philippine war.
Btrikes. riots: and labor disturbances
continue, There are at present serious
affairs of this kind in progress in Brook
lyn, New York, Cleveland, various coal
fluids, aud nearly all over Colorado. Tbe
labor organisations seem : to be deter
mined that If the trusts raise prices,
wages shall rlss with tbem. To that tb
trusts olijitct, Tom Patterson aud the
Denver News ar flgbtiug tbs smelter
trusts Ilk a wildcat with Its claws
ground sharp. This is about tbe first
time a labor organisation has hod a
great dally to help tight its battles. Th
trust continues to say "there Is nothing
to arbitral."
In a prlvats letter to the editor of this
paper, one of tb boys in tbs First Ne
braska says: "Yon needn't b afraid but
that tbe boys will stand by you when
they get back. Yon stood by ns when
tb whole gang of politicians were de
claring that our term of enlistment bad
not expired with tbe dose of the war
with fipaln. Every man la tbis regiment
believes that it did, But they kept ns
here to do tbe fighting while ths regulars
staid In camp when they bad no right
to keep us hers."
The big dailies bavs pot said a word
about tbe lost Interview given to th
papers by Brigadier General Fonston,
late of the 20th Kansas volunteers. All
at once they seem to bavs forgotten
there is sucb a man in sxltno. In
that Interview bs said "I am an anti
expansionist, though not a bltUr one
more o' a mild on. Dig syndicates and
capitalists wlllb greatly benefited by

I cad se no advantage in their posses
sion by ths United States. Tbs Islands
are so thickly populated and labor so
cheap there certainly ,1s no Inducement
lor the American laborer."
Creel man, the correspondent ol the
New York Journal says that Otis said
to him: "I don't propose to allow tb
American publlo to know anything
about this campaign that will agitate
or excite It, So long as I am In com
mand here th people oftb United
State will know only such facta as I
deem advisable to allow to be known.
Any man who writes anything about
this campaign contrary to my wishes
will be expelled from tbe Philippines.
We ar not going to hav any publlo
