FRAUD AND DECEIT AGAINST FARMERS AND DAIRYMEN
Consumers of Nebraska Interested In Pure Food and Honest Products , but Popocratlc
State Ofllciuls Would Encourage Shams and Vile Impositions , Driving
Out the State's Great Industries that Foster Prosperity.
One of the surprising facts brought
out in the present campaign and which
has not been discussed until the irre
futable facts were obtained without
question of cavil of mistake is the
wholesale use of butterine in the dif
ferent state institutions. In the face
of the legislation on this subject and
the position taken by the state dairy
association and the well known feel
ing that exists in the mind of every
man that owns a cow it is fairly aston
ishing that state officials should lend
themelves to such indefensible and
mean business as making a market for
a grease product that is fairly outlawed
in the minds of the public.
Prior to the legislative session of
1895 the growth of the product known
as oleomargarine or butterine or re
fuse fats- made in the form and ap
pearance of butter had attracted much
.attention from the dairy people of the
state. The question as to whether the
genuine , wholesome butter produced in
the state should be supplanted by a
grease product was discussed both
from a business and an economical
point of view. As a result of this dis
cussion and the education of public
sentiment a stringent law was passed
by this 1895 republican legislature
which practically outlawed and put
under ban so-called packing house but
ter. The republican legislature first
passed a law that for the -purpose of
protecting the public and the butter-
makers of the state , demanded that
the substitution be colored pink in cr-
der that consumers might know what
they were getting and not be imposed
upon. Governor Holcomb vetoed ths
and reframed the bill to better suit
liimself and better suit the Armours
and Swifts and Cudahys who were im
posing their false product upon the
public. Notwithstanding this the law
as finally passed contained fines and
penalties in large numbers , so that the
public might know whether they were
"being fed butter or not. This law ,
among other provisos , specifically re
quires that in all public institutions
posted notice shall be made at each
table In a conspicuous place that the
product placed there for consumption
is fraudulent butter if the vile imita
tion wera used.
Take a .copy of the Compiled Stat-
tites of Nebraska , look for yourself at
the law -which went into force and ef
fect at the close of the legislative ses
sion of 1895 , read for yourself the law
in all its provisions , and you will ap
preciate and understand the protection
which a republican legislature aimed
to give the people of the state and you
will aslo appreciate and understand
the spirit of nullification which the
' present state officials exhibit in forc
ing this product upon the state and
those unfortunates directly in their
care and keeping.
In the face of public opinion , against
the interests of every man that owns
a cow in the state , against the good
health of all inmates in the state insti
tutions the board of public lands and
buildings through the beard of pur
chase and supplies has been supplying
Sn wholesale quantities Kansas City
Ibutterine from its packing houses and
Tending establishments with which
to feed the unfortunate and unprotect
ed inmates of the different state insti
tutions.
They feed it to mothers and chil
dren from a thousand families in the
state in these instutions. to the blind
who cannot see to read the notice
which is not posted on the wall ac-
* wording to law , to the dumb , who can
not articulate their protest against the
soap-grease product , to the sick and-
'infirm , whose stomachs repel and refuse -
-fuse the unwholesome stuff.
That these facts are true the fol-
'Olwing copies of vouchers made out
for butterine purchased for some of
the state institutions show conclusive
ly in themselves.

This is only a partial list of the
vouchers , but it is a list sufficient to
show the most doubting and indiffer
ent how largely the state officials have
dipped into the grease business.
That this truck has been bought and
used for practically all state institu
tions is true , and enough here is cited
to show what-a wholesale business the
present state officials have made of it ;
how much has been covered up in
lump purchases from wholesalers fur
nishing other supplies , who have
dumped butterine under cover of oth
er names can easily be conjectured. It
is sufficient in what here is shown to
convince any that the thousands of
unfortunate inmates are fed upon this
packing house product. It is when the
second thought is taken in a mattpr
of this kind that the meanness and lit
tleness becomes more and more in
evidenCB. It is when the promises and
pretenses of these having state wards
in charge are remembered and consid
ered that this fraud and deceit and
dishonesty against the farmers and
dairymen of the state becomes more
and more a matter of censure and
condemnation.
The law which put the brands of
fraud and dishonesty upon butterine
products which should go into the axle
grease of commerce , seems to have no
influence and to command no respect
from those of the present time in
charge of state institutions. The in
terests of the packing houses of Mis
souri are placed over and above the
interests of the farmers of Nebraska
and the rapidly growing and develop
ing creamery interests of the state.
The interests of the dairymen are not
to be compared to the interests of the
butcher , the fakir and the axle grease
maker ; it is humiliating ; it is nauseat
ing ; it is indecent treatment , not only
of those who have to eat the stuff , butte
to those who at home on their farms
are trying to build up a legitimate
dairy business under protection of the
law.
law.The
The great creamery interests of Ne
braska are growing ; year by year un
der the unselfish , earnest work of the
dairymen of the state , the butter mak
ing business has been developing. In
1897 the value of the creamery product
of the state was nearly a million dollars
lars greater than the year previous.
The record for 1898 will show a still
greater increase in this important
branch cf farm industry. Since Jan
uary 1. 1897 , the following creameries
and stations have been established in
Nebraska , having incorporated under
the laws of the state , largely paid in
their capital stock , and paid to the
state authority the proper fees for
incorporation. It is a solendid show
ing , one that touches the farmers in
all sections of iNebmska.

Paid for filing articles $770.
Add to this a hundred or more pri
vate creameries which have started
in the last year and the thousands of
farmers who have saved and econo
mized to purchase cows in order to
add to their yearly income -workinc :
through creameries , and a fair idea is
gained of the growth in the creamery
business in this state at the present
time.
It will be seen from this that the
new creameries since the first of the
year number sixty-seven ; that their
capital is $361,600 , and that these six
ty-seven creamery organizations have
paid the state of Nebraska $770 for the
right to incorporate under the laws
of the state. What a travesty upon
common justice and decent treatment
it is to compare the fact that while
these creameries v/ere paying this $770
to the state that the state itself
throuch its representatives , the state
officials , was taking away from the
creameries thousands of dollars and
paying it to packing houses and ren
dering establishments for a product
in direct competition -with theirs. What
a picture of standing up for Nebraska
it is to see the state taking money
from those buildingup a legitimate
business to expend it outside the state
to those running illegitimate busi
ness and a business in the minds of
the public that is fairly and practi1-
cally outlawed. What encouragement
is there for the farmers of Nebraska
to unite in securing laws to protect
themselves , when , after the law is in
force and effect , those who can make
it by act and example effective and
valuable , make it ineffectual and a
burden upon the people ?
And it is not alone to those directly
interested in the dairy business in
Nebraska that this wretched business
appeals for commendation. The con
sumers of the state are interested in
.pure food and honest products ; they
are interested in the debarment of
shams and frauds and vile impositions ;
they are interested in the production
of honest products and are against
dishonest ones. Every citizen of this
state is interested in the development
of the Nebraska dairy interest rather
than the development of a packing
house product of some other state. T1'1"
picture of this dairy state , this state
of cows and creameries , feeding its
unprotected , helpless , unfortunate
wards upon greasy compounds of un
known filth and unwholesomeness is
one of which fhe people of right ought
to be ashamed and are ashamed , and
the thousands of farmers who are
"building and developing the creamery
interests of Nebraska will think with
added indignation day by day of the
gratuitous insult that the state offi
cials have placed upon their business
interests.
WHO KAISEfD STATK WARRANTS TO
A PREMIUM ?
People are Tirotl of Being- Humbugged
by the False Claims Ma do by the Pre
sent State House Gang.
"We have raised the value of state
warrants , " This is oue or the battle
cries of the pass reformers at the
state house. "We , we , have raised the
price of state warrants. "We , we found
them below par eighteen months ago
and we raised them to a premium. "
Note the eftect of this argument. The
pop campaign is flat. There is no en
thusiasm. There is a look of disap
pointment on the face of every popu
list you meet this year. The democrats
are sullen and silent. There are no
cheers for the sham reform. There are
no demonstrations of enthusiasm any
where. On every street corner you
will find a populist or a democrat who
will tell you candidly that he has no
interest in this election. They are
beating Poynter in Boone county. They
are carrying Ouster county for the re
publican ticket , a thing which has not
happened for ten years.
Well , what is the matter ?
This Is the matter. The fusion voters
are tired of" being humbugged. They
are tired of false statements ; false is
sues , and false pretenses. The fusionists -
ists , most of them , still believe in the
16 to 1 doctrine , but they don't believe
this flap-a-doodle about economy at
the state house or that these pass grab
bers have caused an advance in the
value of state warrants.
It is true that state warrants were
below par when these state officers
took charge of the state government
eighteen months ago. [
.Everything was below par then. . The

Farmer credit was below par tweiv

they can put out at 5V per cent. Bank

bankers have more money than they
know what to do with.
Lincoln city warrants were below

at a premium. Omaha city warrants
were below par twelve months ago ,
Everything was below par then , , but
everything is at a premium now be

Commissioner Wolfe is at the state
house ? Because Auditor Cornell and
his relatives are in office ? Is that the
reason the government credit fs 33 1-3
per cent better ? Is that why Lincoln
and Omaha city warrants are sought
for by the investors ?
How absurd and childish is this
twaddle of the pass grabbers. Who
believes it ?
What self-respecting farmer would
so stultify himself as to cheer such
demogoguey ? "We , we raised the state
credit. We enlarged the state distribu
tion of school money. We restored
confidence so that the people put their
monev back into the banks. We en
abled JIcKinley to sell the Spanish war
bonds all at home. We lowered the
rate of interest upon farm loans. We
have enabled the farmers of Nebraska
to pay off a large proportion of their
indebtedness. " "
"I , " says State Treasurer Meserve ,
as the back taxes come rolling : into
the treasury , "I have done this. " "The
people are paying their taxes and their
debts because I am state treasurer. "I , "
says Superintendent Jackson , "I am
presenting the school children with
this magnificent distribution of school
monev. "
When the Nebraska enabling act
was passed in congress in 1864 it con
tained the provision that sections 16
and 36 In every township of the state
should be set aside and dedicated for
ever to the use of the public schools
of Nebraska. The republicans passed
that bill. Abraham Lincoln signed it.
But every democrat opposed it , just
as these fusion democrats are oppos
ing now and tryins to turn back the
tide of hotter times. But the school
children of Nebraska are to forget that
that was a republican measure. They
are to fcrset that Abraham Lincoln ,
who In his own experience realized so
keenly the benefits of earlv education ,
signed the bill. They will remember
only Superintendent Jackson. They
will hemember Jnckson because the
pop circular t lls them to. Now. nut
vonr fnr to the ground and hear the
Nebraska school children laugh.

Rarest Postage Stamp.
This penny Mauritius stamp was Is
sued , together with a twopenny of sim
ilar design in 1817 , its extreme rarity
being due not only to the time which
has elapsed since its appearance , but
also to the very small number printed.
It is the rarest stamp in the world , and
has been recently purchased by an
Englishman for over § 5,000 , which is
the highest sum ever-given for a single
stamp in England. Only one other
f-opy on the original envelope Is known ,
and that is in the British museaum.
It is believed that nearly all these
stamps were used up on the day of
issue in franktag invitations to an offi
cial ball , and , as the envelope is small
and suitable only for inclosing a card
ar single sheet of paper , and also as
the date of the postmark and the hand
writing on the envelope are precisely
similar to that of the only other known
-opy , a certain amount of probability
an these grounds alone is attached to
: he above theory. Kansas City Jour-
aal.
The Light of the Sea.
A Dutch investigator , Beyerinck , has
ately made a special study of the little
Drganisms called photo-bacteria , to
vhich , in a large degree , the phosphor-
jscence of the ocean is due. He has
been unable to discover that the lumi-
loslty of these strange creatures plays
my important part in their vitality. It
ippears to depend chiefly upon the food
; hat they are able to obtain. When
: hey have plenty of carbon they shine
Jrilliantly , and the ocean surface glows
vith , their mysterious light. When fed
vith sugar or clycerine , their phos
phorescent power is increased.
Living : Death. In. a Car.
Six days and six nights without
Ither food or drink was the experience
f Louis Lyons , who was found lying
n a refrigerator car in the Northwest-
rn yards in Milwaukeeby some train-
nen. He comes of a good family at
itevens Point , Wis. . and at 19 years of
ge started to the Klondike. At Seat-
le he was robbed of all his money. At
Joone , Iowa , he climbed into a refrig-
rater car , which was locked and start-
d on its Journey eastward before he
.woke. The cruel punishment lasted
or 144 hours. He will recover and be
ent home.
Looking Ahead.
