NEBRASKA IS BUSTED.
And now it turns out afteryears of bragging
on Nebraska , that the farmers of that state
now admit that it is a failure as an agricultur
al state. From the recent reports mat come
through the press of that state , it seems that
they are in a very destitute condition and will
be obliged to give up their homes this fall to
the money-lender , who , as a rule , has loaned
more than the land is worth. Five years ago ,
Nebraska gave it out to the world through her
newspapers that she had great advantages to
offer to the emigrants seeking a home , and
thousands of Iowa people went there , and un
til recently , were supposed to be doing well.
But there is no dodging the fact , Nebraska is
a failure as a place for fanners , or else the
fanners , assembled in their recent convention
there , are the biggest lot of liars on earth. Our
Iowa people who went _ there years ago , may
be expected to return in prairie schooners be
tween now and winter. Let them come. We
will welcome them back to a state where every
industrious man can do well. Knoxville fla. )
Journal.
The above is one of the legitimate outgrowths
of the agitation which is sweeping our state to
day. The press of the east is being filled with
just this kind of bolderdash , much to the dis
credit of Nebraska. If something is not soon
done to counteract such influences , fanns in
eastern Nebraska which to-day are being sole
at from $35 to § 45 per acre will go begging
for purchasers at half that price. There are
grievous wrongs which should be righted , laws
which should be repeated , others amended and
new ones made in the interests of the produc
er as against capital , but the statement that
our state , as a state , is bankrupt is false and
misleading. There are many men who are
bankrupt , but laws as immutable as the laws
of the Medes and Persians could not put wealth
into their hands and keep it there. Owing to
the dry season in Nebraska this year , as in
many other states , there will be some land in
the newly settled parts of the west which will
be sold for the mortgage , but we challenge
the records to show that ten pieces of farm
lands have sold in this county under the ham
mer in the past five years. If the farmer who
can sell his farm to-day for $40 per acre suc
ceeds in forcing the untold millions of dollars
to remain in the east until his farm will bring
but half of that amount , who is to blame but
himself ? Saunders county was never more
prosperous than it is to-day , and we can buy
any county of our size in the state of Iowa and
have a good margin left. waho wasp.
