There is no class of business men who ore
o intimately acquainted with the financial
needs of the producing classes of this stale
ns the officers and members of the various
loan and trust companies which are doing
business hero For months they have boon
studying the situation , receiving on the one
band applications for loans , and on the other
communications of the money owners they
represent , iuqurlug as to theconaitlon of tbo
state and prospect of tbo loans being
made on a profitable basis and with a cer

With knowledge to guide them , they have

Tlio Address
OMAHA , Oct. STTo the farmers , business
men and ptutierty tiolden > of rsotiruska : Uun-
tlenirii m'di'sire toaddrf-s jou from a busi
ness M and i joint , nnd call your attention to
fconie fucto th.it concern our mutual Interest.
\o nro u iiuw st.tto , uud our pcoplo i.re bur-
rowers. It Ims been the constant endeavor of
the loan companies of J\ebruUa to secure the
lowest possible rule on farm loans The rate
of interest on borrowed capital is always ecu-
erued by the quality of f-oeuritj. II ueluwcr
the financial ircdlt of the state , bj endorslna
a sentiment antagonistic to capital , e
thereby ralso the rule of Interest on our bor
rowed capital. If woiulMi the riiidlt of the
stale by cndorilni : business men of sound
business flows iiud financial iniosrltv , we
thereby louei the rate of Interest to our bor
rowers.
Until within tlio lait rear our state has en
joyed the confident e of capital. Tlie antaR-
onlsm upiltist capital , as slioun by the duc-
trlues advocated by certain political leaders
vllliln I lie last J ear , has caused tli Impres
sion to go out tlirouchout .New LiiKliinu and
the east th.it the sentiment of our people is
antagonistic to capital , and that there is a
ntrouc tendency not oniy toward unfriendlv
legislation , but to place the supreme court of
the state In an attitude of hostllitj towards the
rights of thu-tt who are Imi tois and lenders ,
but not ( 'Itlzwis of the state.
The ImruoMsicn bas pone out that we are
liollle to capital , and has already seriously
affected our cjodlt and closed tin ninujof the
avenues thiou h which we Iu\o heretofoio
boon tnablt-d to secure financial assistance
To elect to the supreme liuiuli a man who Is
the aiowed champion of all the mischioous
CnanclKlIstiiH of the day. and w ho promises , If
elected , to discard all past precedents in law.
would be to add to the already serious loss of
confidence that we limo sustained , with the
capitalists of the country , and make it still
more dlfllcult to secure new eastern capital
and renewal of larm loans now duo and ma
turing.
There are thousands of farm loans In the
western part of the state that are now due ,
and thi ) lenders refuse to renew. Jt will bo
Impossible to secure renewals of these loans

The following letter was received by the
party addressed ut Kearney on the 27th in-
btnnt. Similar letters , salting forth the
difficulty of securing loans , Tin : Bnu is in-
formed.hnve been received by people seeking
money in ull parts of the state :
OMAHA , Dot , 20 , 1MM. Mr. Georco P. Aspln-
wall. Kearney , Neb. : 1 recret to say that thu
present owners refuse to extend or renew the
real estate loans mentioned In your favor of
the sotli inst.
It Is not probable that any of the loans you
made for us a few years UKO can be extended
or returned until the limitation for legislation
nnd a Judiciary , adverse to the Interests of
the easteiu owners of western mortgages , dis
appears.
' .1 lie Investors In Nebraska mortaaces are
tow thoroughly alarmed ami clamoring for the
eturnofthe money already loaned. I'uli-ss

Booms inevitable.
Confidence in the desirability of western
real estaU * loans waned as the alliance In-
cnia t i In strength , and. when It became
Known thiil thu party had elected a mujurltv
of our leglsiature.the snleof mortgages almost
entirely ceased. It is true that no unfriend1 }
legislation occurred , but capital Is timid , up-
prehension widespread , and has been kept
albob > icports tnut totue of our district
judges are Inclined to make the collection of
tnorluage loans a tedious and diillcul. pro
ceeding. It will require considerable time to
allay such distrust , and no progress In thnt di
rection can be made so lone as thxre Is u pos
sibility of electing the alliance candidate for
Judce. of the supreme court.
If. on the other hand. Judge Post Is elected ,
that fact , together wlih the failure of un
friendly legislation last winter , will greatly
aid In restoring confidence , and exentun.ly
enable borrowers to obtain eastern mt > ner.
In other words. If the people of this state
ebow. by their votes , at the coinlui ; election.
that honest debts aretobohonestly piudat the.
time agreed upon , tnere will boerv few : \o-
lirusku montages forclosed , and a full supply
of money for ull legitimate- demands will soon
uppuar.
This Is not a question of politics , but rather
of honestv and good credit , without which
thousands of people In this state will be
ruined. Yours truly , U M CAIITLU ,
1're.sldout.
In this connection the following interviews
sbovv how thoroughly this opinion obtains
Biuoug not only loau agents but also business
men of the state.
It E. Moore , one of tbo most extensive
farm loau agents lu tbo stale , us follows :
Increased Kates or Interest ,
It E. Moore , Lincoln In reference to the
effect that tbo next election in this slate will
have on Its financial interests 1 would soy
that tbo selection of a candidate who is
known or believed to bo pledged to disregard
what bus been tbo recognizedlawestabllsbed
by decision * of tue courts of this country and
the statutes ot tbis state , will not bo re
garded otherwise than as a vital thrust at
non-resident capital It must bo remembered
that the pcoplo who control this capital
which has been iuvesl-od in tbls state lor a
number of year at very reasonable rates of
interest , are Intelligentcapable ana thought
ful wen. They have loaned their inouey
hero because they thought our people bonost ,
and that public cmUmout would insure their
fair treatment in the courts and by thu legis
lature. Tbo election ot a man pledged to
hostility to tbcir interests will cause thorn
BI prudent men to decline further invest
ments in this field and to withdraw tbelr
capital as rapidly us possible. Wo bare
negotiated at quite love rat as of Interest t orv
large sums of money from certain largo In-
cuntuce companies. At tbo last session of
tbo legislature , wo were auvised by telegram
that , la view of the threatened hostile legis
lation , all investments should l * >
uipeodod until tba legislature ad-
> lournod ; and , U Uio botUlo legisla
was passed , tbelr Investments would
bo entirely withdrawn from this stale.
Fidelity to tbo Interests of tbo funds en-
I trusted with them and which are beld for
the benefit of widows and orphans demanded
that they should not jeopardize them by
loaning them in a state which would no * ,
offer lair and reasouablo opportunities for the
return of tbe money lnve ted , Tbev do not
expect nor atlc that legislation and court do-
citlont shall be favorable to the lender and
agalbst tbe borrower , and they fully realize ,
DO matter wbut the present law may ba , if
tbo courts are plodired to distort everything
achlnst tbe lender to dofcnl bis claims on
every possible technicality itvould be
financial folly to continue tLclr Investments.
They can he depended upon not to be cullty
of such indiscretion. The election of ucb
men to tbe supreme and district courts of the
state will bo followed , in my Judgment , by a
withdrawal of a largo portion of the non-
rcMdcut capital now offered lor Investment.
It will result iu greatly increased rates of in
terest and make It almost impossible to ob
tain loans oven on first class security , and
will materially retard the development of the
state. The basis of tbo credit of the people
of the state is the confidence eastern Invest
ors ba\e in their integrity ; and , when this
Is destroyed , their credit will bo gone. The
rates of interest in southern states nro much
higher than here , because Investors do not
have confidence In the courts or legislatures
of those states. If wo wish to place cur
t-elves In tbe same condition nnd pay the
same rates of interest as southern states wo
should pur ue H policy of hostility towards
foreign capital and non-resident iuvestors.
Up j > ti illation Com cm pin toll.
O. M. Carter , president of the American
Loan .t Trust company Tbo election of Mr.
Edgcrton would be a serious calamity , little
short of financial suicide. People who have
&ont money west to loan on real estate are
thorough ! } imbued with the Idea that re
pudiation is contemplated , utid will be ac
complished If tbo alliance secures control of
our judiciary. The stump speeches of alli
ance orators arc faithfully reported in east
ern financial journals , with editorial com
ments not calculated to Inspire confidence in
tbo integrity of Nebraska people , and , it to
this be added the announcement that Mr.
Udgcrtou has been elected a Judge of the
supreme court , we cannot reasonably expect
more capital will bo sent here , or the renewal
of maturing obligations. Tbo issue to be de
cided ut tbe comm ? election is of great im
portance , honor , integrity , everything that
the people of this state should bold sacred ,
and all that is necessary to insure abundant
prosperity , nro represented by the candidacy
of Juago Postwhile ; destruction , demoraliza
tion , stagnation , needless suffering , degrada
tion and attendant evils nro represented by
tbo candidacy of Mr. Edgerton.
George W. Coatesof the Philadelphia Mort
gage and ' .trust companv As a business man ,
iarmor and resident of tbe state of Nebraska
for nearly eight years , roprcicnting an east
ern loan companv , and knowing the financial
pulse of that section , I say it is well known
that eastern investors have felt a timidity to
loan money in our state since the last state
election. Capital , always shy , was doubly so
when it became kt.own to them their inter
ests would be nttagomzed and their rights
disregarded. Money that was freely loaned
at easy rates to us was withheld oven when
very high rates were offered , not because the
business was not wanted but for the reason
tnoy did not want to place in Jeopardy of
unwise legislation the slow accumulations
and hard earnings of their clients. Is there
not a way to regain too confidence of those
who loau and make it easy for those who
borrow ! Are \\o to be compelled to pay rates
for what we need above what we can afford
to ? Can we not establish a financial credit
for this young but powerful comtn on wealth *
I say yes , aud the remedy is in our hands. I
speak to my fellow farmers and business men
not as a politician , but one deeply interested
in the solid advancement of tbo 'people , and
fooling this , want to suv a word of caution
to those uhose mortgages are matunnc ,
whoso loans that will have to bo renewed , to
think which way they vote on the coming 4th
of November. Every man in tbis common
wealth should make it his especial business
to improve his credit , and of course tbis
means a universal improvement in this re
spect. Wo cannot afford to hove unfriendly
legislation or unwise Judicial decisions as to
matters which are so vital to us all. Wo
can't afford to elect anv man or set of men
that will frighten capital away. The eastern
investor now holding back will bo doubly re
luctant to help us with cheap money If on the
4th of November it is known u man is elected
to the supreme bench of the state with most
mischievous financial Ideas. If you permit
this to be donejou will suffer.
There is but one thing in my Judgment to
do. and that is to place a man on tbe supreme
bench who has the confidence of those who
have the means to benefit us.and whose cheap
money will be most acceptable to us. The
gravity of the situation in our present want
of more money confronts us. The remedy is
with us. Let us see to it and elect Judge
Post , whose election means a step tow
ards the restoration of confidence now so
sadly affected The farmers whose homes
are in tbe western part of the state , who
have loans to negatiaw should stop and pause
awhile before they injuru their own interests
by electing any other man. I write with the
experience of over sixty years , and sar let
them do their part to increase tbo flow of
more money among us from the east , where
people are waiting to see if wo will make it
safe to do so.
Colonel J. N. Cornish , president of the
National Bank of Commerce I consider that
the election of any man as sunreme Judge
that would effect the business interest of the
state to their detriment should bo especially
guarded against. Questions that may bo
termed political that are to DO determined by
the supreme court are comparatively few ,
\\hereatbe determinotion of the numerous
questions arising in business , nnd the estab
lishing of rules for tbe future guidance of
cur courts , affects every citizen , and demands
the best ability our state affords. I nm not
personally acquainted with either of tbe can
didates for supreme judge , uud am forced to
rely upon the estimates placed upon them by
competent lawyers who are acquainted with
both. I have not mot a single lawyer of any
political party who is acquainted with both
the candidates , who does not say that Judge
Post is by far the better lawyer ; whereas
the fast that his opponents were compelled to
go back over twentv j oars of public life as a
lawyer and on tbo bench , before finding nn
excuse to delame him , and that nnt relating
to his career as a lawj er shows him to bo a
man of exceptionally high character.
August Meyer of Max Meyer & Brother
company 1 must say that I am heartily iu
ncrord with tbo sentiments enunciated in tbe
circular of the trust companies. The scheme
ojcht to have been carried out some tune
ago. It will have a good eflect on the trade ,
and business which is now stagnant in many
places will begin to show signs of returning
bnoltbfulness and activity.
S. P. Morse of the dry roods house of S.
P. Morse & Co. I agree with every word of
the circular referred to. We cannot do too
much to establish our credit with the money
men of the east. See what repudiation cost
Colorado. She could not sell her oonds ,
and us a consequence , Denver has had
no pavement this jear. Tbo act was per
haps unintentional on the part of tbo treas
urer but Nebraska canuot afford to have
oven a suspicion of repudiation aroused
against her
George W. Ames of the Amos Ueal Estate
company That circular Is in tbo interns ! of
honest , capable and trusty government. As
such it meets with ray approbation. It would
bo a disgrace to elect Edertou. It would
precipitate a state of affairs which would
cause us to suffer for many years , and would
hurt tbe credit of the state greatly.
A J. Hanscoin , capitalist I bavo sur
rendered my citizenship hero. I have loft
Omaha and will hereafter reside In Detroit
w hero I was born. But it I should remain
hero I would vote for Post. It would bo a
grout outrage to elect Edgorton.
E. M. Andreesen , secretary of tba Lee-
Clarko-Andreoseu Hardware company Tbo
state for business reasons cannot uflord to
elect anybody but Post. I have known him
for twelve or fourteen years. I snow him to
be an honest man and that ho will make a
good Judge and endeavor to ro-establish tbo
good name of tbe state.
L. B. Williams , of William , A'au Aernamfc
Hurto , wholesale boots aud shoes I approve
of tbo circular in every word. It ie Issued lu
tbo interests of tbo state and it discusses the
subject for tbe common interest of every cit
izen. Judge Post will make an excellent
Judge.
Allen Brothers , wholesale grocers The
election of Edgerlon , as tbe circular status ,
would have B very bad effect upon tbe stats
because tbo people could not "place any
confidence iu blm. That Das been shown
by those who know bltn in bis home In South
Omaha. People In the interior of tbe state
must ba convinced of that fact. Wo are Post
men , first , iait aud ail tbo Umo ,
Z. T. Lindsay , rubber goods Tbe election
of Edgerton would deal a blow V ) tbe slate.
It would deal U a blow which would have
a terrible effect. Ue U not only cot compet
'
ent bat bo has not tbo confidence of tbo people
ple ,
Ueorffe M. Ttbbs with M. E. Smlth-Tho
loan men have told a wonderful truth In their
uircular. The election of Edgerton would bo
. attended wltb the most serious consequences.
H would b periectly disgraceful. You
can't tell wb'at the state bus to stand
until you go east nnd when you nro
; asked. What Is the condition of tbe farm
ers who have mortgages ? What It tbe complexion - i
plexion of your political ticketst You can't * I
Imagine the Injury done by last year's logls- i i
ture. It did more damage than anything the i
state has ever experienced. It was a shame
to bavo such a thing fastened to the state
and it will be a greater shame if tbis man
Edgerton ever gets on tbo supreme bench.
Allen O. Hector , Kec'or , Wllbelmy com
pany , wholesale hardware As the circular
says , the election of Edgerton would destroy
tbo confidence of eastern capitalists. It
would act Injuriously to our farmers and
give tno state a name wblcb would be unen
viable. Edgerton In no way can b com
pared to tbe other tnen on tbatboucn , Itee.se ,
Mason , Maxwell and others.
T. Kilpatrlck , President Kllpatrick Dry
Goods companv It Ls a disgrace to think of
putting such a man as Edgerton on tbo
supreme bench. lie is practically a beginner
in law , uud why should be be placed at thu
bead of the prolossion without being tried.
There are twenty lawyers In the state , from
among wnom a selection could be made. Wilh
regard to tbe effect his election would bavo
on tbe state , 1 can't say , because I am not
sufficiently acquainted with tbo politics of
Nebraska
George W. Kelley of Kelley , Stiger & Co.
Tbo circular speaks in plum terms und I
can sign it willingly. Whv can't wo get
competent people to run for office on both
tickets' lam unwilling to do onythlne to
retard the progress of Nebraska. The state
has already suffered much. The Judges of
the supreme court should be of such charac
ter as to bo worthy of the confidence of the
people.

NEWS OF THE NORTHWEST
Tlie End
Judge Charles S Zane , tbo chief Justice of
the supreme court of Utah , has presided at
the trials of all tba Mormons who have been
tried for polj gamy. Ho is therefore entitled ,
as no other man is entitled , to describe tbo
present situation in the territory. Judge
Zane has reached the conclusion , that , when
the president of tbe church and his advisers
formally renounced polygamy ( President
Woodruff having had nn inspiration that the
church no longer required polygamy as a
doctrine ) , they \vere sincere , und that this
institution is now dead lorever In the
November number of the Forum be explains
the slow process by which the rulers of the
church were forced to come to this conclusion ,
and be shows their conduct and subsequent
events that prove their sincerity. Judco
Zane , therefore , after having executed the
law which nas rooted out this twin relic of
slavery , now writes what may be called the
official obituary ol tbo institution. In his
Forum article ho does not look forward to nor
express any desire for the early statehood of
the territory , but bo does explain how , with
tbe disappearance of polygamy , the Mormon
churcn will readily cease to be a hurtiul in
stitution , and that men in tbo territory will
divide in tbelr political opinions along too
same lines that divide men elsewhere.
The Anaconda llesuniCH.
The controversy regarding railroad rates
between the Anaconda Mining company nnd
tbe Montana Union railroad were adjusted
last week. Orders were at once issued for
resumption of work in the mines in Butte
and in the mills at Anaconda.
The news was greeted with great enthus
iasm in Butte and Anaconda , for it means
employment for about 2."iOO men at wages
ranging from f J.50 to 5.00 per day. At the
time the works shut down , tbe Montaua
Union railway was hauling for the Anaconda
company every twenty-four hours nearly
4,000 tons of ore , 500 cords of wood and aboui
fOO tons ot coal. Tnese figures give an Idea
of the magnitude of thecompany's operations
when things are running full blast. Things
will be running full blast acrain Just as sean
as they can be made to. Necesxarily the
smelters must wait upon tbo arrival of ore
from the mines , but with the mines set in full
operation at once , not many days will inter
vene before tbe smelters will be in lull
operation also , and tbe paim3' days of Butte
and Anaconda will bo restored.
Oinali i Caplt'tl in I'tnti.
The famous Hot Springs property near
Ogden , Utah , was sold under the hammer _
last week and purchased by Hon. W. A.
Paxton of Omaha. The price paid was
$57.000.
The property consists of the lands on wLicn
tbe springs are located , the buildings , the
Ogden & Hot Springs Electric railwayinclud-
ing franchises , rightsoriviloeesnnd property
of all kinds owned by that company.
When the road was built and the improve
ments made at the Borings , the property was
bonded and tbe bonds .sold to tba Manhattan
Trust company. Failing to pay interest , the
trust company obtained judgement for ? 1K- ( )
000 and ioreclnsod the mortgage. Mr. Paxton
secures the property at about one-third the
cost price , and considers it a great bargain.
According to Ogden papers , Mr. Paxton
proposes to make extensive improvements at
the Springs. A hotel is among the contem
plated structures. The botbs will be enlarged
nnd Improved and every thine that can be
done will bo done to make tbo resort one of

Idaho Luc Stock Industry ,
The census bureau returns of the live stock
industry of Idaho gives the following statis
tics. At the time tbo census was taken there
were 21b,270 head of cattle in the state , and
the sales of IbS'J footed up ? ( V41,700. At the
same time there were 101,553 horses in Idaho
and 357.030 sheep. The wool clip for IbsH was
St01.ti7 ! ! pounds and the value of the sheep
sold the same year was ? 17b.MO. The value
of the horses sold In lb 9 was fJsl,432. The
number of men employed on Idaho's stock
ranges at the time of the census enumeration
was 1C1. The bulletin says. "The grazing
lands of Idaho are tbe foothills of the
mountains. The chief river valleys abound
wltb sapebrusb , but contain little grass. Tbe
ordinary annual loss of stock from all causes
is about 0 per cent , but the wmtor of IbSMiO
was exceptionally severe in Idaho , and , in
consequence , stockmen were much dis
couraged. "
The Colorado i nnon.
The survey of thn canon of tbe Colorado
has been completed , und H. H. Stanton has
given a full account of it In the Engineering
News. In spite of the great depths of tbo
canon and tbo cliffs of sandstone , marble aud
granite composing it , a railway can , in bis
opinion , bo built through It without much
tunneling , Uius opening up some of the
grandest scenery In tbo world In manv
places the canon expands lute wldo valleys ,
and oven where it narrows there uro terraces
along the sides like the "paralled roads" of
Glen Key , Scotland , which seam designed by
nature for track and rail. Tbo tributaries
which enter the canon laterally are , as a rule ,
small , and can be casilv bridged. The dis
tance of 1,010 miles through the canon dis
trict will comprise only twenty miles of
tunneling and nlnoty-nlno inilos of granite
culling.
Railroad Kate * In Oregon.
About two months ago the railroad com
missioners of Oregonnfterdue consideration ,
issued a schedule of railroad tariffs to govern
traffic within the state. Tbe reduction iu the
tariffs then iu vogue was about IK ) per
cent. A vigorous kick was made by the
railroads , but tbe commissioners refused to
recend or modify the schedule. An appeal
was taken to tbe courts. Tbe railroads con
tended that the commission had no power to
fix rates ; that if the power is conceded , it
w s exercised to the detriment ol tbe plain
tiffs' property and welfare. Tbe appeal w < i&

heard of Dr. Price's Delicious
Flavoring Extracts , but , al
though millions of bottles of
them are annually manufac
tured , there are yet hundreds
of housewives who know
nothing of their excellence
from actual use. These fla
vorings are without question
the finest and purest 01 their
kind manufactured in the

In the History of Omaha
Political parties have come and gone , Our $10 suit counter
But Hellman has stood Has a whole new bunch of goods ,
On the fickle sea And we say , without flatten' to ourselves
Of prosperity. That better values do not exist ;
And the suits show it
Many merchants have come and gone ,
But Hellman has stood. On this counter for $10.
Yankee tricks have been inflated For the workingman
Into the minds of men We still maintain
And prospered ior a season. That $4.00 and $4.50 line
Yankee notions have come to town Of suits that look so neat
And the fickle public , here as elsewhere , And wear so well
Have at times fallen into the g-ilded net , As you wander to and fro
And has made many an upright man Between your shop and home.
Falter in his business career ,
But Hellman has stood.
Our hosier ) ' and underwear
Hellman and his influence We own direct from the mills ,
With but few others And any man who says
Have turned the home of the sage brush He can undersell us
And Redman into a civilized community In shirts , drawers , or sox ,
In which all live today. Is falsifying for a gain.
Many men faltered on the way ,
But Hellman has stoodv The most you can do is the best ,
And all the Yankee tricks in creation
You rally to the flag in times of war [ 'Though it ma } ' blindfold a few ]
Without a murmur , Will give no man more
In times of peace the mind of the public Than a dollar's worth of goods for $1.
"Is often led astray , That Hellman has given
But a dollar is a dollar To all men with whom
The world over , It has been his pleasure
And dollar's worth of clothing ' ' "o come in contact
Intelligently bought For lo , these last 38 years.
Is as good as a dollar
So any man in need of the clothing. Reason with yourself , and '
Brass is made to look like gold , If you discover a nigger in the fence ,
So is shoddy made to look like clothing. Stand by Hellman.
We have done a prosperous His experience is your safeguard ,
Clothing business in Omaha Ane he is still at the -
For thirty-eight years : Same old stand ,
Form your own conclusions. Corner Thirteenth and Farnam.
