' ' "I pity the man who can travel from Dan to Beer sheba and say 'tis all baren and so it isand so is all the world over to him who will not cultivate the fruits it offers." There are people who live and observe nothing of what is going on in this world. These are people who buy of Jones because father did. Yet Jones charged you one-third more for his clothing thaa you could have gotten them for elsewhere. We want 'you to wake up, shake yourself, and buy your clothing where you can buy it the cheapest. In a few days our Fall Catalogue will be ready for mailing and vie want to send you one. We want to show you the difference between the Nebraska's clothing and other stores clothing. You won't get a Catalogue if you don t send us your name. They cost too much money to throw them away. Take a postal card and address it to the Nebraska Clothing Co., Omaha, Neb., write your name and address on the back that's all; not much trouble to get sach a valuable book.

I insist upon my right to submit this statement which concern only reference that have beeu made to me or my offl rial actions by those who have appeared beforayou. I notice by the pres that one 13. L. Si mons, who has been before you, makes the statement that "so far as be kuew, Governor Holcomb knew nothing about it." referring to tbe ulleged frauds of which he batl been speaking. Then, at tbe suvgestion of Mr. Prout, be is led to say that he did bave a tulk with me at my otfloe retarding some ballots from Fremont In Dodge county, In which I was made to siv: "1 am sorry you told ms this, beoause I do not want to know anything about it" Whether tbe statement wa mad by this man Klmous voluntarily or at the uggestlon of a member of this alleged committee, 1 wisb to brand It a entirely devoid of truth, with no fact whatever upon which to bos su b a statement Tbere Is not In il a auntenne, word or letter that ha in it a particle ot truth. It is a diabolical falsehood, mad out of wbol cloth, 1 never at any tlm or plno bad such a conversation, nor anything similar, with tiimons upon any HuhJ-ot whatever. He baa never been in my private office or work room at any time to my knowledge nor bave I conversed witb b in there, or at any other place upon tb subject men tioned nor upou any other aubject. I bav never bad a speaking acquaintance witb bim. I never knew bui or any thing of bim, at the time of tb alleged transaction ot which be speaks. Itwa after that tlm that I firet beard of bim, and wa then told of bis diereputable cheroot, r, I did not at that tlm nor bav 1 elnoe, bad a speaking acquaint unce witb bim and never conversed witb him upon any subject whatever. Regarding the aiatemeut that on of bis 00 worker told bim that tbe origin al plan for a recount ul tbe bullot bad been talked over at my boum wltb Mr. Dablman, Kdmlsten and other, tber I not a word of truth In it. It is tb pure fabrication of a malicious mind aoilng uoluntnrily or uudur tb solicitation and direction of other. . Tbe testimony Itself I of such a char acter as to be unworthy of consideration.

You may reconcile these confiding statement to suit your own pieasur. I may in conclusion gay brl- flr and lo a general way Ibat If any fraud wa coo templated, or aoiually committed, I knew nothing of It I favored tb recanvas of tb vol east for constitutional amendment. I lavord this being don by th legisla ture lelf without tb aid of an appoint ire commlMlon. Tb original recanvas bill as Introduced in tb bou contem plated thi mode of procedure. The bill was changed In tbe aenai by tb aid of republican votes to provide for aa ap pointive commiseion. I seriously con sidered the wiedom of vetoing it but fin ally approved It. Tbe commission wa appointed, but afftr working awhile wa enjnined by tbe court from further pro ceding upon the ground of tb alleged unconstitutionality of tbls not Tb legislature then took charge of the re cm va-s as r rhinally contemplated, re counted th ballot and mad tbelr re port wbich is a matter of record. If any ballots bate been changed or tampered wlb, I know not whether it was done in York county or Lancaster county, whether by, or uod"r tb direc tion of a coterie ol diereputable republi can politicians, which 1 am convinced was then determined to prevent a re can vaes by fair or foul means, or whether by soma oi her person or pereons. I do know that my every net In regard to tb matter was solely and only for tb purpose ot having aa honest reeaa vaa of tb votes actually cast, aeoertaia th truth and then determine under tha derMoos l lbs supreme court whether the amendment In question was legally adopted.

Tb trusts ar a national problsm and tney must d grappled wltb Dy tbo na tional government. Io no other way oao tbey b conquered. Stat legislation can aid very nuob lo tb work, aod If It war poibl for all tb stata to work together for tbe am nd, tbn th states could accomplish th destruction of tb trust without national (egialatJoo but Mr. Ingall and vry well-informed man know tbat anon oo-operatloo of tb atata can no mor b rffected than unbeam can b extraoled out of cu comber.

Tbis would be a drastic but effectual remedy for trust. It would be impomiible for a trust to exist il it were not a letcaloorporation: a trust oompoeed of individual partners, is come thinfc almost unthinkable and practically impossible. Ave bar said what we would do. but we are not the people and In realisation of thi fact differ from tb three little tailors of rbreadneedle street Th op position to trusts Is strong enough - to stomach "muoli 1 radloalem, but there naa not been enough education on tne lines we bare indicated to conviuoa tbe people tbat all private corporation ar an unmitigated evil, and should be abob isnea, nappiiy there are other moasurea which oan be adopted which would b equally effective against tb trust and which at tb same time we believe an secure tbe support of a large majority of the people of the country, Tne nrst 01 these Is an abolition of all taril duties on artio'e wbich ar manufactured by trust. , It will be contended tbat tbe abolition of these duties will cause a considsrabl deficit In the revenue and tbi undoubt edly would be the ones. It is therefor necessary to advocate som metbod ol supplying tbe deficiency which would bt so caused. The Income tax bas been da dared unconstitutional by th suprem court so tbat wo cannot by direct fneaua bav a national tax on iooome. What cannot b accomplished directly can, however, b accomplished by Indirection. Th reform convention abould declare in favor of supplying any deficit which might arts tnrougn to abolition 01 to tariff on trust goods, by a direct tax apportioned among the state according to population, tbua following tb term of lb constitution letter for letter and at tbe earn tlm place themselves on record in favor of tbe Individual state raising tbelr proportion of tbi tax by an Income tax Th abolition of dutieaon trust article wbil It would aerre tocrlppl tb trust would not, bowever, destroy : tbem.

Government ownership of rail' ways, together with heavy taxation of unused natural opportunities ar nroea enry tot ffMotlvely reach thus trust. Tb reform fores must thsrefor deolar Id favor of the measure, aod, pending tbeir accomplishment, must Indicate th kind of leglslatioo they wisb to bar placed on tbe statute books wblob will cuabl tbe law officer of tb government stat and national, to rff tlvly puna th trusts. mmpson s uayooet.
