THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDEN
PITY THE MAN
. -In. -'v ' ' ,. ' '
"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.
Such varu, Indwuuit and hearsay
statement would not bav been admit
ted or given publicity by men imbued
witb any spirit of fairness. 1 might any
;dtb equal propriety and far mor truth,
bat I bad heard tb object ot tbl In
quiry Is to find If poesibl, something
ibat will answer tb purpoesof political
oapital regardless ot tb question of
truth, fairness, or tb Interest of good
government
Regarding Mr. Hedlund' testimony
and bis connection witb lb "crooked"
work, if there wa any, I only deeir to
call your attention to bi letter to me
alu-r tbe committee bad been enjoined
by tbe court from proceeding further,
and after tbe legislature wa preparing
tomaktbrecanvaeby it own mem
bers, wbereiu he said In substance that
notwithstanding be kuew of the alleged
fraud and was participating in it, be had
remalued silent and did not Intend to
say anything until after tb emire work
bad been performed, and at a time when
bis diet losnre could only bav lb ffct
ol nullifying all that bod been done and
of thwarting tb bid of tb leaielatur.
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. Reapeoilullv submitted.

Sixth That tbeoontrol over the quan
tity of the money circulation ot any na
tion la tbe blKbeat and most important
of all governmental power.
Seventh That it Is tbi power of tb
British oligarchy over the Quantity of
our money circulation that give them
tbe power, regardless of anything that
our government or people can do to
keep our enormous coin debt growlnir,
and keep acquiring more and mora th
ownerehlp of American property at triv
ial prices.
EiMbtb That as th power of tbe Bri
tish oligarchy over tbe quantity of our
money circulation Is absolutely unlimit
ed, so tbeir resulting power to harm us
witn tne two disaster last above men
tioned I unlimited.
pintn ruat the only way to stop tb
control of tbe oligarchy over th quautl
tlty of our money circulation and to pre
vent th disastrous wrongs aforesaid, I
to mak all our money, gold, silver and
paper, a legal tender to nay all debt
and redeemable In government due only
according to tbe popullstlo rule.
Tenth Tbl being done, tb power of
oontrol over tbe quantity of our money
circulation will pas Immediately and
completely from lbs Hrltlsh oligarchy
to ths people of tbl country to be exer
cised by tbem tbrough oongre accord'
ing to tnc constitution.
Eleventh That tbl being don th
people, through congress, can proceed
at once with all money firmly at parity,
to lucre Its quantity In tb popullstlo
way, and enable ns to pay off several
hundred million of It every year, and In
a few year to extiiiKulsb It altogether,
Twelfth That th proper lucres of
our money circulation io manoer afore
said will stop all necessity of,our people
to borrow money from abroad or to & vs
(oreigo bond for anything or to luduce
foreigner to Invest ber In anything but
rather to discourage and diminish auob
Investments.
Thirteenth That such proper Increase
of our money circulation will work a
vast diminution of our home debt and
bankruptcy, mak all business easier and
more profitable, mak municipal owner
ship of public utilities, and government
ownership of railroad and telegraph
all easy and natural to be brought
bout, and make It easy for tb Ameri
can people to act on foot and successfully
carry forward any great) and needful
works of stupendous msgnltudeand coat
without tb iat inveatmentoraid from
foreigner.
Fourteenth That lo a word, suoh con
trol of tbe quantity of our owo mousy
circulation will make tb American peo
pie truly feel prosperous and clear of
foreign taskmaster and tbeir corrupt
influence. M. Waruen.

under tb law, not enjoved by each indi
vidual a sucb. 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.
Sum of tb greatest among tb troata
bav been built up by tbe transporta
tion aud land monopolies and only by
atrikiog at the mannpolle can they b
stricken. 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
