Tliomns A. linker , a Confederate Soldier ,
Say * Northern Democratic Sympa
thy and Encouragement Caused
the Civil .War.
Omaha , Sept. 24. Thomas A. Baker
of Memphis , Tenn. , was a confeder
ate soldier during the civil war. In a
recent letter , in which he sets forth his
reasons why he cannot support Bryan
he states the proposition as It is fair
ly and squarely. He charges that the
southern states would never have se
ceded from the Union had it not heen
for the encouragement they received
from the copperhead Democrats of the
north , and , on this hypothesis , he con
eludes that Aguinaldo and his follow
ers would never have taken up arms
against the United States , and-would
not be in arms now , were it not for
the encouragement they have re
ceived from Bryan and other Demo
crats. In the letter ie says :
"I do not believe that the southern bor
der states would have seceded from the
Union In 1S01 hut for the aid and comfort
given" them by the copperheads of the
north. When one distinguished orator de
clared that the Union army would have to
inarch over the dead bodies of 40,000 Indl
ana Democrats before they reached the
south , the magnificent utterance eleetrlflct
Tennessee with hope.
"Thousands of inen ( hesitated upon the
brink of the awful abyss. They loved the
Union and hated the abolitionists. Th
Union was a 'theory' entwined with beau
tlful and patriotic sentiments. Slaver ;
was a 'condition' In which was Investci"
the hard earnings of a lifetime. At the su
preme crisis came the promises of northern
Democrats that they would not let us be
hurt ; their bitter denunciations of the lie
publican party. The south made the leap
"During the war we saw Indiana regl
ments and brigades march through tin.
state of Kentucky. 'Tramp , ' 'Tramp ,
'Tramp' , they passed through Tennessee
Georgia and South Carolina. We never dW
learn how the poor fellows got over those
40,000 dead bodies of their Democratic
friends and neighbors. We were fully per
suadcd they killed and made a corduroy
road of them , because the anti-Imperial
Itst of Indiana said they would.
"Our next hope after we got mixed up to
gcther was that England and France woulil
help us for commercial reasons. Valhur
dlgham , Stevenson and a thousand other
copperheads like the good brethren who licit
up Joshua's arms , held ours up by encour
aging us to hold out a little longer , by de
nouncing the war a 'failure * and keeping
us posted as to the movements of our en
emies.
"This Is all ancient history , but I , an
old confederate , can see very readily how
the anti-imperialist league can materially
aid Aguinaldo and his crowd. Every old
soldier , north and south , understands the
force of moral support. Our war wouhl
not have lasted three months but for north
ern Democratic encouragement , and I be
lieve Aguinaldo would have been as peace
ful a citizen as Gomez but for the encour
agement he has received from the senti
mental traitors of the anti-Imperial league. "
IMPORTANCE OF VOTING.
It is highly important that every
Republican and every one who be
lieves in continuing prosperity , in
maintaining good government , should
go to the polls and vote on election
day. This is all that is required to
place Nebraska in that position where
all the world will know that she has
shaken off Populism and has taken a
position in the ranks of Republican
states. The danger is that the farmers
and laborers , who constitute a large
per cent of Nebraska's total vote , will
be so busily engaged Avith their work
and in such peace of mind that they
will forget or neglect to do their duty
on election day. But , one thing is cer
tain , and that is , that the farmer who
is getting good prices for his stock tutl
crops and the laborer who is getting
good wages and plenty of work , can
not expect this to continue xmless they
go to the polls in November and vote
for the candidates of the party that
has made these blessings possible.
You cannot go to the polls and vote the
Republican party out of power and
then expect good times to continue.
The Democratic party brought on the
hard times. Free trade and determin
ation to contaminate the standard cur
rency of the nation frightened capital ,
drove money into exile , silenced enter
prise , demoralized international coin
mer.ce and finally precipitated wide
spread suffering and distress. To vote
the Democratic party back into power
would bo to bring buck hard times.
This is just as certain as it is that
night follows day. The fanner must
sow in order to reap , and the laborer
must toil in order to earn money
Neither can do otherwise and expect
satisfactory results. So. too , they
must b.oth vote with that party -that
gives them prosperity in order for
them to have prosperity. They cannot
vote wrong and expect things to be
right. They cannot vote for hard
times and expect prosperity.
The primary object is to vote antf
vote right Simply because you arj
satisfied Avith conditions is no reasoi
why you should remain away from
the polls. You should go there and
vote , that this grand era of unex
ampled prosperity may be continuous.
It is highly important that the Re
publicans shall control the next legis
lature. Two United States senators
are to be elected and other matters of
almost equal moment will come be
fore that body. $
Should Nebraska join the Republican
column of states it would mean much
for her. It would attract capital for
investment and would , even at the
v
present low rate of interest , enable
her people to borrow money cheaper , T
because throwing off Populism would
be a guaranty that Nebraska is not a
state that believes in repudiation. No
one suffers more from fear of repudia 61
tion , bad collection laws and conse-
quent i or credit thnn the borrower.
The one vrho loans mny loan or not ,
as be pleases. The borroAvcr Is fre
quently so situated that he must bor
row or suffer the loss of the savings
of a lifetime. Confidence in the hon
esty and integrity of the borrower
makes it possible for the latter to se
cure loans and this , coupled with equi
table collection laws , enables him tc
borrow at u low rate of interest. It
will be observed , therefore , that laws
that are Intended to restrain proper
and equitable adjustment of accounts
between the debtor and creditor , while
they may cause the creditor some an
noyance , are infinitely more injurious
to the debtor , for they not only limit
his credit , but they require him to pay
higher interest rates on every dollar he
borroAVs. Populistlc tendencies in this
direction have in the past cost the
state of Nebraska millions of dollars.
CONTINUES TO PILE UP.
Evidence of Republican prosperity
continues to pile up. Farm products
have advanced in price , laborers em
ployed at increased Avages , new homes
are being bought , mortgages paid off
and the transition carries with it : i
happy change in the financial and in
dustrial conditions of all classes. Few
farmers , perhaps , really understand
what it means to them in the Avay ot
good prices for their products for the
laboring people to be employed at good
wages.
Statistics show that under the McKinley -
Kinley IUAV more than $41,000,000
were paid out in wages every Satur
day afternoon to the laboring people of
the United States. Under the opera
tions of the Wilson laAV , a Democratic
measure , the total amount thus paid
out fell to less than ? 1S,000,000 ) per
week , or a shrinkage of $ 22,000,000 per
week.
Under the McKinley laAV more than
§ 2,000,000 Avere invested in new busi
ness enterprises , furnishing employ
ment to 122,000 laborers. Under the
Wilson laAV more than $300,000,000
were withdrawn from use in commer
cial and manufacturing industries and
nearly 280,000 men were thrown out of
employment.
Under the Wilson laAV the balance of
trade against the United States in the
15 months the law Avas in operation
amounted to the sum of more than
$70,000,000. Under the present Repub
lican tariff laAV ( the Dingley law ) the
balance of trade in favor of the United
States for the last fiscal year amounts
to the enormous sum of $544,000,000.
The estimated increase in the value
of live Stock , comparing the market
prices of today Avith four years ago , is
more than § 000,000,000 , and the esti
mated increase in the value of farm
land and in the market price of farm
cereals , on a similar comparison , is
$550,000,000 , making the total profit or
gain to the farmers of the United
States for the last four years more
than $1,150,000,000.
The increase in bank deposits in so-
called farming states , states like Ne
braska , is more than 50 per cent , Avhile
interest charges in the same state have
been reduced fully 40 per cent.
Governor Poynter and the fusion
newspapers , as Avell as all the fusion
leaders , are painfully silent on the re
port that at the end of Poynter's term
there Avill be a deficit or shortage in
the public funds of no less than $100-
000.
000.Their
Their answer to this is abuse of Re ?
publicans , but abusing Republicans
will hardly satisfy the taxpayers , who
will have to pay the bill.
The fusionists have boasted of the
saving they have made in managing
the state institutions. Four years ago
they pointed to the amount asked and
appropriated by the legislature. Two
years ago they came to the legislature
Avitli a demand for more money than
had ever before been required , and Avitli
a large deficiency and any number of
unpaid claims. The legislature tAVo
years ago , not only made a large de
ficiency appropriation , but appro
priated more than $2,000,000 for the
tAVO years ending in 1001. All this has
been squandered and it will require
$100,000 more to pay unpaid bills and
labor claims.
The shortage in the penitentiary fund
alone Avill amount to at least $25,000.
There are at least 11 institutions that
Avill come in Avitli shortages ranging
all the Avay- from $ . ' 5,000 to $10,000 , and
in some cases it Avill be even larger.
This amount , added to the amount
appropriated , Avill run the expense in
maintaining these institutions to a
higher figure than ever before in the
history of the state. If Poynter's ad
ministration has been a success in any
thing it is in increasing the hardships
of the taxpayers.
From the governor down there is not
a department of the state government
that has not increased the espenst.1
from Avhat it was under Republican
rule. What makes bad matte/s worse
is that the state is not receiving a dollar
lar in interest on the $200,000 school
fund. This alone represents a loss of
over $4,000 a year to the state.
It is a fact , proven by the official
records , that the Poynter administra
tion , say nothing of its depravity and
general Aveakness. has cost the state di
more money than any other since the diai
state's existence. th
