NATIONALISM.
What it is
and Why the
mand it.
Times De-
j&.n Address Delivered at the Organiza
tion of National Club No. 1 of
Lincoln.
The following address, delivered by
W. S. Wynn at the organization of the
first Nationalist Club at Lincoln, will be
i-read with much interest by all who are
interested in Nationalism.
Before we attempt to state as a na
tionalist club what we intend to work
for and hope to accomplish, it may be
well to give a few of the reasons why
-we" believe a movement of this kind
should be made.
It is my belief that the present com
petitive system will if allowed to con
tinue in full and constantly increasing
activity destroy our government, leav
ing anarchy in'its stead.
All history teaches us that when in
the growth of any nation that point is
reached when the entire wealth has
passed into the hands of a small per cent
of the people its ruin and downfall is at
hand. ' 1 quote from a distinguished au
thority. ' "When darkness settled over Egypt
and she lost her place among the great
nations of the earth, three per cent of
her population owned ninety-seven per
cent of her wealth; when Babylon went
down, two per cent of her population
owned all her wealth; when Persia
bowed her head, one per cent of her
population owned all her land; when
the sun of Home set in black despair
eighteen hundred men owned and con
trolled all the then known world ; for
the past thirty years more particularly
fdnce the close of the civil war, the
United States has moved rapidly along
the path followed by these old nations.
In 1850 our capitalists owned thirty
seven and one-half per cent of the na
tion's wealth. In 1870, twenty years
later, they owned sixty-three per cent,
having almost doubled their accumula
tions." m
This was twenty years ago. How
does the matter stand now? Thomas G.
Shearman in the Forum for November
last in an elaborate article in which he
gives in detail the grounds for his posi
tion, estimates that two hundred and
fifty thousand persons in the United
States own and control from seventy
live to eighty per cent of the whole
wealth ot the country; or, in other
words, less than one-half of one per
cent of our population own from three
fourths to four-fifths of our entire
wealth.
Now it is evident to all that this enor
mous concentration of wealth in the
hands of a few has been on the increase
to a rapidly accelerating extent during
the past ten or iifteen years.
The Chicago Tribune for last Sunday
gives the names of two hundred men in
Chicago who are worth in the aggregate
over iive hundred million of dollars,
and states that the whole of this vast
wrealth has been accumulated during the
past fifteen years or since the great Chi
cago fire.
During the same period great depart
ment stores have grown up in our large
cities, like Wannamaker in Philadel
phia, and Jordan, Marsh & Co. in Bos
ton in each of which two or three men
have made immense fortunes, which
great wealth twenty-five or thirty years
ago would have been distributed among
fifty or one hundred moderate for
tunes. The same is true of nearly every de
partment of industry. This tendency
to concentrate the profits of business
and production into the hands of the
few, and by consolidations, combina
tions and trusts, to continually enlarge
these profits, is on the increase to such
an extent that it is only a question of a
few years when, if not prevented, the
great middle class of dealers and manu
facturers will have become extinct, leav
ing only millionaires and employees,
the latter toiling that the former may
still further increase their holdings.
We believe that this tendency toward
concentration and consolidation is na
tural and results in cheaper and more
effective production, being pernicious
merely as concentrating the wealth of
the country into the hands of the few,
our remedy for which is the nationali
zation of all industries so that all who
compose the nation may participate in
the advantages of these improved me
thods of production and management.
These trusts and combinations haA'e
been great and valuable educators in
Nationalism, for they have shown the
advantages of co-operation and the folly
of competition. They will continue to
increase in spite of laws against them,
they are in the line of progress and can
not be done away with any more than
we could do away with steam and elec
tricitv as factors in modern life.
As Nationalists we hold that co-operation
and consolidation are right, natural
and necessary, and that carried one
step farther, namely: Their control and
operation by the people in their collec
tive capacity as a nation, will result in
such benefit and advantage to the whole
people and to civilization that the pro
gress made in the present century (of
which we are so proud) will be looked
back upon by the happy children of the
future as stagnation and barbarism.
The Farmers' Alliance, Knights of La
bor, trades unions and kindred organi
zations are also educators and promoters
of our cause because they teach their
members the value and benefits of asso
ciation and co-operation and the neces
sity ot obedience to their officers and
leaders for their common good.
I assume that all present have read
Mr. Bellamy's wonderful book "Looking
jsacKwaru," ana are aware tnat nation
. 1 .1 .a 1 . . 1i i -
aiism anu mese nationalist ciuds grew
to a great extent from the desire to, if
possible, realize something like his idea
of what we might be and do under na
tional control oi industries.
We who believe in a future for our
children, if not for ourselves, of comfort
and happiness laid down in Bellamy's
book are called "dreamers," "rainbow
chasers," and in some casses "cranks,"
are told that "all this is very beautiful
i ,1 ... : in! . j i

unpractical and visionary.
Y e have, however, a practical and
present work to accomplish which we
t. i: f ii t - . -l .
iieiieve win ue a veij gieat auvance m
the direction of complete nationaliza
tion of industries: u e propose first to
move on the telegraph and railroad sys
terns. In the first of these, the tele
graph, the country is already ripe tor
government control and probably to
day a large majority of the people o:
the country wish to see this brought
about, and a bill has been introducecf in
congress during the present session to
accomplish it.
This ownership and control of rail
roads and telegraphs by the government
is no experiment. In Lngland the tele
graph is owned and controlled by the
covernment and in Belgium and Ger
many the railroads.
Indeed the railroad owners them
' selves are beginning to realize that this
must be the outcome and solution ot the
railroad problem.
President lilackstone of the Chicago
and Alton (one of the best manai
l oads in the country) takes the position
in a recent address to the stockholders
of that road, that government owner
hint) and control is the only way out o
the difficulties that surround railroad
management. '
It might be well enough to leave the
question of "what next?" until we have
carried out this part of our program.
But I will state that the next step would
probably be the nationalization of the
coal business, .the oil business and such
other lines as depend directly on and
result from the development of such
natural resources as from their nature
are most readily monopolized.
In local affairs we expect to work
against the granting of franchises to
private corporations by municipalities
and for the ownership and control by
our cities of gas and electric lighting,
water works and street car lines.
As illustrating the advantages of mu
nicipal control of electric lighting,
about two weeks ago the World-Herald of
Omaha published the result of enquiries
sent out by a town in Pennsylvania to
all cities in the United States who were
using electricity for street lighting. A
large number of cities answered giving
the cost per lamp of 2,000 candle power
per annum. The average cost in those
cities where the lighting was done by
private corporations or persons was
$105, while in those places where it was
done by the cities themselves it was $52
or less than one half.
Now here in our own beautiful city of
Lincoln we have a work to do in this
matter. I know of no city of its size in
the country where the streets are so
poorly lighted. We should work for the
putting in of an electric light plant by
the city and the placing of an electric
light at every street intersection or
every other one, so that our city may
not "be behind its neighbors and rivals
in this matter.
There is another side to this question
that might profitably be glanced at for
moment.
THE MORAL SIDE.
Our present competitive system offers
the best rewards of lite to the grasping,
the avaricious, the cunning and the un
scrupulous. Those characteristics which
it is necessary to cultivate in order to
hold one's own in the struggle for exis
tence and wealth, are those which des
troy all that is best and noblest in hu
man nature. We will never know what
the world has lost in the deadening of
the higher impulses, the enforced selfish
ness and the necessary debasement
which the present system demands.
Many a mighty soul many a brilliant
intellect, has been lost to the higher
uses of humanity by being compelled to
enter into a life and death struggle for
existence in competition with more sor
did, vi cious and cunning natures.
We claim that in working to do away
with the vicious principle of competition
Ave are doing God's work, and are try
ing to bring about that condition for
which we pray, when we ask that "(Joel's
will be done on earth as it is in hea-
en."
Every christian should be with us in
this movement, because we seek to make
it possible for Christianity to succeed;
because Ave seek to carry out Christ's
teachings; because our theory of govern
ment is founded on the law "love thy
neighbor as thyself;" Avork for and "with
him.
We seek to substitute co-operation for
competition; industrial peace for indus
trial Avar; brotherhood for antagonism;
ove for hate. We seek to substitute as
the motto of humanity: "Each for all
and all for each;" instead of "each for
himself and the devil take the hind
most."
Adolph Oehme, an intelligent farmer
at Brainard, Neb., has figured up how
much tariff taxes have cost him in a
year, lie has done more or less trad
ing at the village stores, and, ot course,
has paid protection prices for every
thing he had to buy. The following is
his account for twelve months:
Amount
tariff on same
80 pounds of euarar 18.72
10 gallons molasses 40
23 pounds of woolen goods 9.90
Dry goods (cost $89) 35.72
10 pounds chocolate, etc 20
5 pounds mustard 50
42 pounds rice. . ".95
8.0U0 feet lumber 16.00
Machinery (cost $57) 22 80
Salt, 460 pounds 55
1 barrel lime HI
boxes soap 1.20
Medicine (cost $10) 2.50
Bindiag twine (coet $8) 3.20
Saddleries, ete. (cost $68) 20.52
lioots and shoes (cost $28.o0) 8.55
Total tariff on purchases $142.02
In this Avay Mr. Oehme figures out
that the tariff compels him to pay each
year 314a.oa more tor gods Avhieh he
requires than they would cost Avere the
tariff remoA'ed. This he calls his "indi
rect" tax, and by comparing it with the
direct tax Avhieh he pays his county.
city and state he finds this to be the
case:
Tariff tax indirect $142.02
City, county and state direct ; 76.82
Difference $ 65.20
And thus Mr.Oehme figures that he is
paying indirectly a tax Aiiich is almost
tAvice as large as his direct tax, and
this tax is filched from him little by lit
tle in the shape of living expenses
that make it hard to make both ends
meet. Were all the farmers as smart
as Mr. Oehme there would be a speedy
end of the protection system.
Opinions of Public Men on the Eight
Hour Question.
In letters to the American Federation
of Labor, William D. Kelly, of hon
ored memory said: "I have long be
lieved that if the eight-hour system for
both man and machinery prevailed
throughout the industrial world there
would be less suffering, a greater aver
age duration of life and a higher and
more general degree of contentment
among the wealth-producing commu
nity throughout the world."
Senator Mahone, of Virginia, says: "I
am a thorough believer in the eight
hour dav." .
Ex-Governor Hubbard, of Minnesota,
says: "1 believe the strain upon men
Avorking with modern machinery for
eight hours is as great as was ten hours'
Avork with simple tools. I think the
measure or standard for a day's labor
should be eight nours only unless a dif
ferent number of hours be expressed in
the contract ot employment."
The Hon., C. H. Grosvenor, of Ohio,
says: "I am in favor of shortening the
hours of labor. 1 favor it because I
think it right that the laboring people
of the country shall have more time for
study and education."
The Hon. Wm. M. Springer, of Illi
nois, says: "With the increased crea
tive power of human effort brought
about by labor-saving machinery, a la
borer ought during eight hours out of
twenty-four to be able to earn a com
petency for himself and family. A la
borer can noAv produce more of valnes
in one hour than he could have pro
duced fifty years ago in five hours. He
Avas able to live fifty years ago and sup
port his family under the disadvantages
he then had. Why can he not noAv dur
ing eight hours' time of each day, Avith
the advantage of labor-saving machin
ery of this era, earn an honest living
and be enabled to support his family
comfortably and to educate his chil
dren." The Hon. Wm. S. Holman writes:
"The establishment of the eight-hour
day Avould be of immense benefit to our
people. Every one should be allowed
some time in which he could qualify
himself for the high duties of citizen
ship. I believe the health, happiness,
moral well-being and intelligence of
our people would be greatly promoted
by the universal adoption of the princi
ples that eight hours out of twenty-four
should constitute a day's Avork.
The Rev. K. Heber Newton says: "It
goes without saving that every friend of
labor wants to see the eight-hour rule
in operation as soon as practicable. I
am satisfied for one that the time has
come Avhen it can be made practicable
to a great extent."
The Hon. Wm. R. Morrison expresses
himself as folloAVs: "In view of the
fact that labor-saving machinery has
largely increased the pioductive power
of man it seems reasonable and just
that the hours of labor should be re
duced. Eight hours of proper applies
tion ought to be sufficient to supply the
necessaries and even the luxuries of
life to a laboring man."
The Rev. Lyman Abbott, who has
been recently called to fill the pulpit so
long occupied by the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher, wrote as folIoAvs: "I am
heartily in sympathy with every move
ment which promises the Avorkingman
a large share of the world's profits, a
better opportunity for the cultivation
of the three H's, Head, Heart and
Home. 1 can only say here in a sen
tence that a strike may be better than
servitude, that arbitration is better than
a strike, that profit sharing would be
better than arbitration, and that co-op
eration or active partnership between
employer and employed is the ultimate
goal to which all other steps should
tend."
The Hon. W II. Gest: "I am heartily
in favor of the movement for the eight
hour day. Our civilization cannot en
dure and our government will fail un
less our people learn that gold is not
the only thing to seek for, that there is
something "better. Intelligence and
morality cannot exist and never have
existed in a people who spend all their
time fighting for bread."
Senator C. B. Farvvell is in exact ac
cord Avith the policy as outlined by the
American Federation of Labor. He
says: "So far as certain trades are con
cerned I can easily see Iioav this move
ment could be brought about. For in
stance, those mechanics who build
buildings in locations where they re
side can fix the number of hours they
Avill Avork by organizanization, and em
ployers Avill easily adapt themselves to
such action."

"THE BOOK OF THE EPOCH. A WONDERFULLY FASCINATING WORK."
CESAR'S COLUMN
A Story of the Twentieth Century.
BY EDMUND BOISGILBERT, M. D.
One of the most startling and original works ever written. The author a man of wealth
and high social position, and who writes under a nom de plume, presents, in a startlingly
original and wonderfully fascinating work of fiction, a profound study of sciologlcal condi
tions, and he follows thes9 conditions out to what he believes will be their inevitable result.
The events described in the story take place in the year 1988, and the scene is laid in New
York City. The plot is diversified and full of human interest. Some of the chapters are
equaled only by Victor Hugo in terseness and vividness of description. The ell'ect of the
book as a whole is such that the reader will scarcely know in which character most to admire
the gifted author whether as a novelist skillfully weaving a complicated plot into a harmo
nious story ; as a poet deftly touching the chords of the great heart of hum anity ;as a philosopher
analyzing the errors and laying bare the evil tendencies of our age; as a prophet warning
the race against the greed and selfishness which are eating away the foundations of society;
or as a preacher teaching the broad principles of divine charity and appealing to those who
have the power and the good will to redeem the world.
The above book will be sent from this office atthe regular retail price, Muslin, $1.25; Paper,
50 cts. Or, it will be sent as a premium as follows:
