Is the conclusion of the speech
delivered by Mr. Koiowator nt Stromsturp ,
1'olk county , last WOOK. ]
\Vhatintorosthas n Nebraska farmer In
common with the millionaires who own thn
silver mines of Colorado , Montana and Ne
vada ! Just compare your condition with
theirs. When n farmer wants to borrow
money on his land It is appraised according
to iti producing capacity. If his farm Is
worth tM an aero they will perhaps loon
on one-halt , or at iho utmost two-thirds , of
of that amount. If ho wants to borrow on
his crop ho can only secure n loan up6n what
his fnrm will produce during the ono year.
The ralno owner sinks n shaft Into the partis
or rocks and brings up Rpcclmons of the
mineral , llo spends from tlO.OOU to $20.000 ,
nnd very often less , and then coos Into Wall
street or clear across the Atlantic to London
to bond Ills ml no for millions of dollars , llo
puts on n mortgage for nil the products of
liU mine down Into Iho bowels of the earth
and clear to China. After bonding
all the products of his mine for
a century or two Im builds himself
great castles In Colorado or palaces In Now
York and Hoston , nnd perhaps buys himself
a seat in the United Stales senate , where ho
becomes the champion of fioo silver , nnd
asks you farmers to Join him In tnarlcollne 811
cents worth of silver lor $1.21) ) . Why should
the government pay him any moro for his nil-
vor than It Is worth as a commodity In the
markets of Iho world , and put a dollar's worth
of silver into a ddllar'f worth of colnl Why
nhoula thoio mlno owners of Colorado , Mon
tana nntl Nevada got a bonus of between
80 nnd 40 percent on tha commercial value
of their products ? Why do you not do the
same thing with the owners of copper mines
nnd Iron tnlnosl Why do they not guarantee
you Sl.UO a tiushol for wheat when It Is only
selling In the market lor TO cents a bushel )
You say the circulating medium in this
country Is notsufllclent and they toll you it
would bo Increased bvtho frco coinage of sil
ver. I soy no. The actual circulation of
gold , silver nnd paper currency In this coun
try is about ? ir per capita. What would
you huvo alter trco coinage ! Gold
would go up to a premium and then
would bo withdrawn fiom circulation.
Silver and paper alone would circulate. That
, would take out of circulation over { UOO.OUO-
000 of gold , and joti could not roplacu it shorter
or eight years , unless you bought nil the sur
plus silver In tbo world. The business ol
this country Is done chlclly with credit
money. Only 8 per cent of all the business
transacted in the United States Is done with
Kola , silver and paper , nnd ( J3 pot
cent Is done with checks and drafts ,
lu olbor words , our circulation
is about $ J. > Ti per camtu , of which ? i. > Is in
money nnd.50 per capita in chocks and
drafts. Free coinage would cause a contraC'
tlon of credits. Capitalists would hold on lo
tholr gold and force collection from debtor ?
for fear that they would bo paid in the do-
prsclatca currency. That would result In
high rates of interest. You know that good
money always moans lower rates of interest
nnd depreciated currency high rates of inter
ost. Hlghl after tlm war 13 and I'J percent wa-
tbo legal ruto of interest in Nobrasicn. Tbc
rate of interest has boon steadily comp
down. Today you can borrow on lirit clais
city real estuto mortgages at ( i per cent , ant
you can get an abundance of money ut t ! am
7 per cent on farm morlgagcs.
Lot mo illu trato the iliiTeronco betwcot
eoou monny and doproclaied money. Sup
pose you bad a sack of Hour , marked 101
pounds , which was worth $5 in the market
and the grocer snld If vou send me tnat sucl
of flour I will give you $5 worth of mercbau
diso for it. Now , if that suck ipl Hour cor ,
tniuod only eighty pounds Instead of 100 , el
you thlnK the grocer would c\v <
you 15 worth of goous for It ! Wouli
bo not either raise the prlco o
his poods 25 per cent or give yoi
0 per cent loss merchandise ! Suppose yoi
bau a'keg of nails lo buy In n hardware stor
and you gave your boy un order to the doalo
to deliver him ono keg of nails. That pier
of paper , the order , would be just as good a
a keg of nails providing that the denlu
would honor your order ; but suppose th
dealer roluscd to honor it when the ordc
was'prosontcd. what would that ploco of po
.per represent I Nothing moro than the nice
of paper on which the order was written.

Lot us now talk about these farm raorl
gages. We all admit that a great many farm
in Nobrnska nro mortgaged. But ii yo
look Into the matter carefully you will Un
that these mortgages were chielly it
currod In the purchase of the Ian
nnd for the improvements made on tb
farm. One of the candidates of tbo people'
party hns boon charging all ever this slat
that Nebraska's mortgage indeoiodness tin
been increased last year by over $18,000,001
llo says that ho went down to the olllco c
the labor commissioner and found that to L
*
the fact. I have the labor commissioner's 11 y
uros nnd I find that the difference boiwoa
the amount of mortgages placed on recor
during the year ending tho"1st of Augus
189. ! , untl the mortgages that have been r
leased during the same period is a fraclk
over $4,000.000. Dut what does this provi
[ The speaker then interrogated ono of tl
farmers und ascertained from him that t
had incurred a mortcago some years ago , c
Which ho hud pnlit off n btnnll amount , hi
this payment , bo admitted , was not show
on the records. |
The fact Is that the mortgage record is
delusion and u snare , because It never shav
any payments made until the entire debt h ;
been unld. Millions upon millions nro bclr
paid Insninll amount-son farm mortgage noli
In Nebraska nnd are credited on these note
but no showing Is made of these pay men
until the lust note Is taken up. Tno sherl
of this ( Polk ) county told mo that with
two years only ono farm mortgage has bci
foreclosed , and the owner of that farm hi
never paid any part of the Interest or prl
clpal. I nasIn Washington cauntv la

I was In lied Willow county last woo

thrco tanners had boon evicted within t

who had really sold their farms wh
they made iho mortgage. In otti

the whole fnrm was worth. This w

I ostori riuht hero nnd can prove wha
say , that Uu > man who loans out money
farm mortgages does not rrallza as 1:001
pro lit as Iho fnrtnnr it bo has any kind
luck. Suppose a man has fifty acres of la
worth 120 per aero nnd ho gets a luortgr
loan on bait otits value , which Is f.500 , ut 1
end of 11 vo jours bo has paid the mot

Tbo nionov lender , therefore , has only

It Is proposed , follow citizens , that the
United States Rovornmont shall own nnd
onoratn all railroads. That means , of course ,
thft the government of the United SUtos
jihall buy all iho railroads and that tt shall
become the employer or Ml the 700,000 mon
who are now operating the rnUronds of the
United States. There are now 107.000 miles
of railroad In this country , worth $ lOoOOOOi- )
000 nl least , Hoiv hro wo golnc to acquire
these ruilronds ! Wo have no right under
the constitution to tnko anybody's properly
without duo compensation , We have no
right under thu constitution to tnko posses
sion of tliosorailroads until Wo have at least
tendered the owners tborcof the money just
the same us railroads nro "obliged to tender
you money In the exercise of luo right of
eminent domain when they go through your
farm. Hut whore nro wo to got the 510,000-
000,000 to buy the railroads in the United
States ! Was this proposition to own
and operate the railroads tnudo In
peed fultb , or is It merely platform -
form material ! There are now In the
congress of the United States at least throii
senators that were elected by the people's
party and something ilka n dozen In tha
house ot representatives. 1 challenge any
man within my hoanng to iitimo ono bill or
resolution over Introduced by tiny of Iho
peoplo's party representatives In conoross
looking lo thu acquisition of the railroads or
telournphs of tbo United State * . Not ono
ungle stop has boon taken by any ono of
them even to imiulro as to how much them
mill-onus would cost , or for uny Information
hy wlilch wo could cot n ronsonnblo Idea
ns to what wo must do lo become llio owners
of the railro.uls. No peoplo's party congress
man has taken the llrst stop this year to in-
vestleato iho poslal telegraph bill , which
simply proves beyond doubt tbo litter Insin
cerity of the men who advocate thoao ro-
forms. They do not propose any practical
measure either for the purchase or the
control of the railroads , but tire
content to Insert In their platforms
propositions that they know tire utterly im
practical nt , this tltno. The republican parly
has not attempted to acquire the railroads of
the United States , but It has tal'on stops
through Postmaster General Wanamakor ,
looking to thu establishment- a postal tele
graph and If the independents In congress
had taken any stops In" that dlreciion they
would have received the aid of the postmas
ter general as well us of a larso number of
republicans in congress.
The constitution of 1S75 , enacted by a con
vention two-thirds republican , requires all
railroad corporations lo innlto annual re
ports under oath to the auditor of slnU of
llio amount received from passengers and
freight In this stato. It prohibits the legis
lature from exempting nny railroad prop
erty or movable rolling stooic from
execution or nuto. It prohibits the con
solidation and pooling by railroad com
panies or telegraph companies. It declares
all railways heroloforo construcled or hero-
nflor lo to conslruclod in this state public
highways , which shall bo frco to nil parlies
for iho transnortallon of their persons and
property Jtidcr such reputations as may be
prescribed bv law. It empowers tuo loglsla-
turo to establish reasonable maximum rates
of charges for pnssoncors nnd freight , nnd
prohibits the legislature ) from limit
ing Iho liabllltiCH of railroad corpo
rations as common carriers. It provides
that no railroad corporalion shall issue any
stock or bunds , except for money , labor or
property actually received and applied foi
iho purpose for which such corporations
were crcalcd , and all stork , dividends nnd
other hctltious Increase of the capital stocker
or indebtedness of any such corporalion
shall bo void. It provides furihtr that the
legislature shall pass laws to correct abuse ! !
nnd provcnt unjust discrimination and ex
tortion in charges by lolegrapn , express anO
railroad companies , and cnlorcosuch laws b.v
adcauato penalties , to the extent. If necuj
airy , of the forfeiture of tholr property ant

Now , this is the basis of nil railroad regu

You tell mo that the independents uav
done their duty when they passed tbo Now
berry bill , which was vetoed by our demc
cratic governor ; that they have been prc
vented from giving the people the relief the ;
wanted by the republicans and democrats ii
the legnlaturo , and that the republican
must bo held respousiblo for thIS
failure to enact a maximum freight law.

it- also that be would sign u bill reducing tl

to Ing Ibe roducllon was reasonable. In t

od Thut was a moro suoterfugo. The mi
ho pendent leaders In tbo legislature 01
an wanted to make a record. They did i
in , want to ( 'lya the pcoplu relief. I know it
; ot was ttio sunllmunt ot their candidate :
, cs governor- General Van Vyck. Nobody
'or this stale rejoiced moro than ho when I

oavu grluvaiiL-cs thun to give roliuf. Ho 1
[ or . boon willing to talk of abuses , but prof
lo havft thorn' Uont up from year to year
RO as to have Iho pftoplo In roi/blt. So fnr at
I nm concerned , nnd I bolloro vou will banr
ma out In tint fact , If the republicans who
revolted against railroad domination because
of Interference with our pit olio oflK'Crt , had
gene on with us wo could have had just such *
candidates nnd such legislation a * the
farmers wanted , but they started n new
party nnd loft thonnilmononolrepublicans
In the minority.
Would It not hnvo been mtfch bettor for
you to have had the Shuuiwny Usury bill
passed , which reduced ttio rate of Interest
to 8 per cent and provided reasonable penal *
ties for usury , than to past Ifo laws on tlfat
subject ! Hut the Independents said tl-ottliey
would bavo tholr own usurv bill or nothing ,
and thclaslnightoftnososston the Shutnway
bill was called up , but Mr. Klder , the
speaker , nnd half u dozen Independent lend

were not on hand to vote for tt ,
How tlin Itiilorinors Itcliiriupil.
Now , lot us examine the rofortrr legisla
ture and see xvhat good Nebraska has got ,
from them. The Independents iriado pledges
of reform to the people , which were chli'lly
bused upon the Idea that the republicans had
boon very extravagint ; had voted thousands
of dollars of Iho people's money away on
junketing trips , and has burdened the people
with needless taxation. Kvcrybody natur
ally expected that the reform legislature was
going to cittdown thonpproprlatioiu , and that
wo were to huvo retrenchment. They or
ganized the tivo houses , elected n speaker
nnd the llrst thing they did was to go Into n
u contest over tbo oiulin of governorship
and nllo up over $10,000 of expenses ,
sqtiandcilng not only their own
tlmo but Iho people's nionov. Our
friend , Deeh , who ta'now ' a caudldalo from
this district , received ? I25 as his share of
the contest expenses nnd then ho quietly
hud ono of hi < own relatives ol.icud on llio
payroll ut $3 u dav salary. When I was a
member wo hatliio c.irry our own mail and
wo had ono postman and ono deputy. This
great reform lucisluturo , which had nil Its mall
brought , to HID doors of the capllol by the
government postal carriers , employed four
men lu" the house und llvo in iho senate to
brlnpupuml dlsinbuio the mini. During
the war ono chaplain could distribute iho
mall for a whole regiment. They had six or
sovou sergeants-at-nrms lu eacn house ,
all of thorn drawing pay for watch
ing and standing guard ever each other.
Then then ; were n number of Junkets ,
anil , while throe-lourths ol those roiormors
weio riding on railroad passes , they ehorgrd
up their miletigo nnd expenses Just the sumo
ns If they ban belonged to the old party. Ono
ot these junkets was potion up to see now
deep the walor was In Texas. | Laughter. I
'Ibuy brought back two barrels of oysters
forS450 , nnd they were so moan that they
would not let a republican huvoono. [ Laugh-
tor. J Nobody was incited except thu good
Independent members.
Two yoarb ago tho-Independent platform
pledged the party to abrogate the peniten
tiary contract. They declared that the con
vict labor should bo lot out by the stati' In a
different manner , but tha contractor hap
pened somehow to get very well ac
quainted with the reform commlttoo ,
nnd not only aid thov not rcpo.il llio con
tract , but tbev passed an appropriation of
$10,000 to build a cell house , which the con-
iruclor was obliged to build at his own ex
pense. They provided that the rell house
should bo built by day labor , so as to make
the expense still greater. The state is pay-
intr10 cents ti day for beeping these
convicts , und then they turn 'round and
pay tbo man who litres those con
victs for their services at the same rate as u
regular brirklavcr gets. The Independent
legislature was very economical. They voted
Jl 1,509 to ouild an iron fence'round the
camnus of the university when there was nc
need of any foncc whatever.
And how did they treat the drouth suf
ferers. Although relief was immediately
wanted in thn western part ot the state ,
thov took something like three weeks ,
"
after the legislature "had convonod. bofori
tbev would pass any relief bill. It was ver.v
fortunate that many people did not porist
by n blizzard that might have occurred ni
niiy time in January , while Iho legislature
was lighting oypr cutvteateU oats.
When they adjourned they had appro
priatca n grand totul o'f ? 2.SUO,000 , which wu-
moro by ever $ T > 00,000 thai , the Icglslnluri
of ISbO bad volcd. The lORlslalun
of 18b7 voted S'.ttJ.OOO . for publli
buildings , Including asylums and univ rsiu
enlargement , canitol completion , etc. ; tin
legislature of 1801 only voted SD-W.OOI
for public buildings and sllll their an
propriaUon bills exceeded by $250,000 tin
bills of 1SS7. Now 1 say do not send an ;

deliberations were secret. According to tbo
most rollablo information available , the con-
foiMico wits for the purpose of debating
the best wavs and moans of making
good n $10,000 shortage of I O U
t.otcs given at Indlunanotis last year
for the purchase of the Milwaukee ,
Chicago , Boston , Athletic nnd Columbus
cluus. The amount to bo paid these clubs
was somo'.lnns' like ? 1J,000. ! ! Each club has
boon assessed a certain percentage , which
will bo put Into n general sinking fund. The
patronage bus not bnon sulllciont to moot the

The subject , of the association notes was
tnkcn up llrst. The llnnnclul accounts of the
various clubi nhowod n peculiar state of
affairs. Seven of the twolvu clubs bad made
moro money than last season , but they wore
worse off Ilnai'clally , on account of the drum-
nya occasioned bv the sinking fund. Tbc
clubs which have not drawn well dur
ing the season were : Now York , Cincin
nati , Louisville , Chicago , Washington. The
question of the $10,001) shortngo on the noles
duo in Novomoer was discussed , but nc
