IIOLCOMB'S ELECTION IS A NECESSITY Addrcn * of Mr. Ilnaetriitcr at llayd'n r > n t Night Thoiuiiml * with Him In Buying KlngR nml Itiillro.uls JMunt llo ICcbukcd. It outward appearances accurately express the drift of public sentiment , the audience that listened to the address of Mr. Edward Ilosowater at Boyd's opera house last even ing was an unmistakable indication of the popular uprising against the ovlls of ring rule nnd railroad domination. Mr. Uosewater was to discuss "Tho Credit of Nebraska The Moral and Mercenary View of the State Campaign , " and the Immense audience that filled the theater from pit to gallery testified to the Interest of the people In the questions as issue. Politically the sea of faces presented a varied complexion. All three of tlio great political parties were fully represented , and they united In applauding the sentiment ex pressed by the speaker , that It wns tlmo for the people to govern themselves. The most uubstantlal business and professional men ot the city were present , and many of the seats In the parquet and balcony were oc cupied by their wives and daughters. The character of the audience was such as to silence the few corporation mendicants who had found their wny Into the galleries , and the speaker wns heard throughout with the most Interested attention , which frequently changed Into hearty applause of Mr. Rose- water's vigorous arraignment ot the corrupt ring whoso fingers are stretched toward the vitals of the commonwealth. It was shortly after 8 o'clock when Mr. Ilosewater appeared on the stage , accom panied by Mayor Uemls and other prominent citizens , among whom were John D , Howe , 13. D. Branch , George E. Darker , John Rush , Albert Cnhn , sr. , Henry Pundt , It. S. Berlin , Judge George W. Donne , Hon. George W. Llnlnger , E. W. Slmcral , C. S. Elgutter , A. H. Kuhn and George R Munro. As soon as the applause which greeted the speaker had subsided Mayor Dcmls stepped forward and briefly Introduced Mr. Uosewater to the audi ence. The mayor preface , ! his remarks by inquiring U Judge Scott was In the audience , and the galleries , Indicated their appreciation of ttm allusion by nolley of cheers and groans for that distinguished Jurist. Continuing , Major Demls said that during the post three years It had been his pleas ant duty to extend n greeting to ninny con ventions , political nnd otherwise , but this wns the first tlmo ha had had the pleasure ot Introducing Mr. Hosowater to an Omaha audience. He had known Mr. Rosewater ever since ho had first come to Omaha , in 18C8. When Mr. Roscwater had first con templated the publication of nn evening paper in Omaha ho had asked him what he thought of the venture nnd ho had replied that he believed that there wns room for such n paper In the city. Now thnt paper had become - como tlio largest dally west of Chicago and was published In the finest newspaper build ing In Jho world , and Mr. Rosewater had done ns much for Omaha ns nny mnn In the city.PLEA PLEA FOR THE PEOPLE. Mr. Uosewnter was received with a liberal , measure of applause , which continued at fre quent Intervals during the two hours In which ho discussed the Issues of the cam paign. Ho said , In beginning : "Tho proud est boast of the ancient Roman was , 'I am n Hoipnn citizen. ' The proudist boast of any man upon American soli Is , 'I am nn Amer ican citizen. ' There are thousands ot men In Omaha who atone time or another have been called on to take an oath to support thj laws nnd the constitution of the United States ' , either when being Inducted Into ofllce or taking the oath of citizenship In this country. There may bo hundreds who , like myself , took the oath to support the flag during the tlmo of war. Wo swore not only to protect the flag and the constitution of the United States , but to defend the rights of the people against any power that should seek to de prive them of nny rights guaranteed to them by that constitution , U wns In the spirit of this oath that I was Impelled to tender back to the republican party ot Nebraska the highest honor that I have ever tecelved at Its hands , although It was the party with Vthosu principles I wns In the heartiest sym pathy , nnd for whose success I had worked nnd fought , ns I will again when It come-i back to the republicanism of Abraham Lin coln. " In this connection Mr. Rosoivater read a copy ot the letter In which ho tendered his resignation of his position as national com- mlttc-eman , and proceeded to Inqulro Into the spirit In which It had been received by the republican stnto contention and by Its can didate for Governor. Although It had , con tained serious charges against this candidate these charges had been treated merely as a Joko. Mr. Majors had merely passed them oft aa not serious enough to demand cxplina- tlon. tlon.Tho The only way this terrible arraignment had bcon combated was by the organization of nn association alleged to consist at the business men of the itate for the solo pur- pcso of electing this man who had been charged with the most serious crimes. NOT A PARALLEL CASH. The speaker then read an extract from the manlftnto qf the so-called Business Men's association , In which It was said that four years ngo the business men of the state had banded themselves together to defeat the threatened blight of prohibition , and that It was necessary tor them to repeat that policy to prevent Iho election of Silas atA. Ilolcomb for governor. "But , " ho continued , "how wus It four years ngo , and how 1& 0.It today ? Then It was proposed to engraft Into our constitution a law that prohibited the manufacture * and sale of Intoxicating liquor within thestate. If ( hat law had been Im- I * beJdcd in our constitution , wo might not k Imvo been able to remove ) It for twenty , I * thirty or e en fifty years. Hut now we y.ro throatrncd by the dire calamity that might extend over a period of two years. Tour yearn ago the business men united to oppose thu amendment , b'caiifcr they believed that It men-iced their Interests. Then , there wcro pcarcely BOO pcoplo ts.Ill DouRlua county who were In favor ot the amendment , but now there are more than cnc-hnlf o ! the people of Dougnis county , vho. It they ncro free to cspre's their iy.on cut convictions , are opposed to the election of Thomas J , Majon > as governor of Ne braska. "Four year * ago we wtro throatcncd with ! the withdrawn ! nf f300,000 a jcar from our Bchonl fund. This was n Ecrlons mcnnco to the educational Institutions nf the city , and to the Intercut ot other educational Institu : tions all over the stale , This -\uits much different from the election ot n governor vlu > cannot change any rxlxtliu : Uw. nnd helot will I A controlled by a Judiciary that In not unfriendly to tin corporation * . Who made Iho defeat ot prohibition possible , tlo mani festo of Uie Huslnen Men's association , or tha combination of 125,009 voters of Ne braska ? CALAMITY CRUSADERS. "If these business men were banded to gether to put down corruption Instead ot to uphold corruption , wo would nil bo with them. If they had joined hands to put down the state lion so ring Instead of to maintain It , I would be with them , as I wns four years ago. They have shown a disposition to ndvcrtlso the state abroad ns being threatened with the most terrible calamities. They have gone to n Lincoln paper , which Is republican , with democratic tendencies , a paper which some tlmo ago advocated Iho free coinage of silver nt 16 to 1. They tried to make It appear that we were threat ened with the foreclosure of mortgages and the withdrawal of loans , because ono can didate for governor wns likely to bo de feated. After n good deal of fomentation and bulldozing nnd threats , they hnve published a llstot men , who , according to their theory , nro going to stand up for Nebraska. In the head lines they claim to have 1,500 names , but an actual count shows 318. " Taking the list of names ns published In the Lincoln paper , Mr. Rosewnt-r called at tention to the fact that one business firm was made to answer for half a dozen signatures. The firm name was slgneJ In ono place nml each Individual connected with the cstnbllsh- ment had his signature attached In nnother. Hero were also found the signatures of Iho confederaied corporntlons , the Pacific Ex press company , the Nebraska Telephone com pany , the Uarbcr Asphalt company , Standard Oil company , Western Electric company , Union Depot company , and numerous others who were directly banded together with the railroads. The speaker admitted that these people had a right to their own opinions. They had a right to protect their own Interests and to appeal to the people to help them It they wished , but their Interests wcro not always the Interests of the people. The law pro vided that the funds of the city of Omaha si ould bo placed with the bank that bid the highest rate of Internist. But these gentle men were too smart to bid against one nn other. They had a mutual understanding , and the result was that the city only received 2 per cent on Its deposits. Dut recently the city was short In ono of the funds and bor- rowel | 50,000 , of these same men , for which It [ paid 7 per cent , which Indicated that In this case at least the Interests of the city nnd tha bankers were radically different. IIOLCOMB'S ELECTION NO MENACE. A this point Mr. Rosewater took occasion to explode tha theories that had been ad vanced that the election of Judge Holcomb would precede ruin to the financial Interests of the stnte. He tnld that with the cxcsp- tlon of the term of Governor Iloyd the state had had a succession of republican governors. During this time It had ne\er been able to borrow money at a lower rate of Interest than G per cent. Notwithstanding the claims ot the calamity crusaders , it was n fact that within the last four months Kansas had had nn offer from a New York firm at 4 per cent. The credit of Colorado as a state was as good as that of Nebraska , and only the other day the city of Denver had sold Its I per cent bonds at par. Within the past four days he had wired the assistant general manager ot Ilradstreet's agency In New York City for Information as to the flnanc al conditions of South Carolina. The reply had been that the rate of interest on mortgages i in that state was C per cent and on commercial I paper 7 per cent. Collections were good and business fair , nnd the prospects were better than at the same tlms last year. This , Mr. Rosewater contended , was not because they had a populist governor , but because they had a big crop of cotton In sight. It the people of Nebraska had a big crop of corn and hay and plsnty of cattle to sell they would have good tirr s , no matter who was governor. WHAT KANSAS SHOWS. Continuing his argument on this line , the speaker related his experiences on a recent trip to the largo , cities of Kansas for the purpose of ascertaining the monetary condi tions la that state under a populist governor. At Len\enworth nnd Topeka , business men generally stated that they could borrow money without difficulty nt 8 per cent. The bankers said that there was an abumlnnce of loan- nble money , and the'r customers assured them that the demand would Increase this fall. Mortgages were easily executed nt from 6 to 8 per cent , and in many cases loan able money was lying Idle because there were no farmers who wanted toborrow. . These statements were supported by letters from bankers and prominent business men of Kansas , which uniformly endorsed the facts ns above stated. , After some Vurther discussion of the finan cial Issues of the campaign , Mr Rosewater turned his attention to the moral questions Involved. Ho produced the original copy of the famous repudiation b'll introduced by Mr. Majors and asked what eastern capital ists would think of the credit of a state that had a man who had promulgated buch Ideas In the gubernatorial chair. Judge Holcomb had been elected to the bench by republicans , lie had performed his duty and enforced the laws , regardless of consequences , and when ho should become governor of Nebraska the laws would be enforced and there would be no danger ot repudiation. "II nothing Is done , " continued the speaker , "to check the corrupt ring at Lin coln , we will have a ring- whose rapacity cannot be checked for many years to come , There Is more In this matter than appears on the surface. When the Capital National bank went to the wall It contained $236,000 of the state funds. It- was claimed that the funds were placed In the bank by .State Treasurer Hill after It was. known that the Institution was Insolvent , and Judge Wakely was directed by Governor Crounso to bring suit against the bondsmen of the treasurer to recover the money. Some of these bonds men are amongth& very men who are workIng - Ing so desperately to secure the election of Majors , Supposeho should be elected , and dismiss Judge Wakely , and appoint some po litical shjster to finish the suit , the state would never get a cent. " If a bank was going to loan money to a man or recommend him for a position In another bank the first question asked would be whether he was a moral man who paid his debts and could bo trusted. They would not recommend such a man as Majors for a position In another bank , but they were quite willing to recommend him for go\ernor of the e > tate. In this connection Mr. Itose- watcr called attention to the part that Mr. Majors had played In the abduction of Tay lor nnd In signing the warrant for his sal ary , which went to line the pocket ot his private secretary , Walt Sr > cly. At UH > republican convention , and again at a meet- In ! ? In the Sixth word In this city , Majors had called on God to witness that he was telling the truth when he said that Taylor had been In attendance during sixty-three days of the session and was entitled to full pay. Tills he had known to bo nn untruth when he uttered It. Mr. Rosewater pro duced the records of that session , which showed that Taylor had disappeared on March 19 , which was only the fifty-third day of the session , while Iho legislature did not adjourn until April 4. Majors had also known that a special lUtrllngton engine , containing Bill Dorgan nnd two other men , had followed TaMer lo Omaha to eee that ho- did not re turn. Any man who would tell such a falsctmo'I. filling on God as n witness , was not ( It to hold the lowest ofllco within the gift of the ptoplo of Nebraska. HOW TOM DREW MILEAGE. Another Instance of tha peculiar methods ol the lleulennnt governor wns cited In the way invhtch he had -drawn mileage for dis tances that were never traversed. The dis tance from Peru to Lincoln was seventy- three miles , or 146 mllas for the round tr'p. ML-IRC the session of 1S91 Majors had drawn nilteoRr for 2iS miles , or $2S.SO a trip. In ISO ) his conscience had compelled him In take oft eight miles , and he only drew J2S. whrii he v/as entitled to fH.CO , and traveled on a i > iiF3 all the time , Tli In might be a small m.-ttcr , but It showed that the man v , .i ti , tails' unfit to be entruitcd with the hijihcM nfflp. !

O. , Oct. 17. Although Jasper Dolby , colored , pleaded guilty today to assaulting Sirs. Mary C , Iloyd , In order la bo rushed oft to the penitentiary for protection , he did not get started In mi vance of the Indignant mobs , People were swarming Into town all day. The sheriff could not get from the jnll to the depot after Iho prisoner had been .sentenced. A little after 0 o'clock the first rush was made on the court house. A crowd ot deter mined men atempted to break In the south door , whllj another party charged on the mllltla at the north door. Some one threw a stone at Colonel Colt , and he cried that at the next stone thrown ho would order the men to fire. The crowd at the other door were unable U affect an entrance. The court yard by tills tlmo was filled with people ple , nn dcrles of "Glva us the nigger , " and cur e. against the mllltla filled the air. The crowd grew In size every minute. Before the firing Colonel Colt made n speech asking the crowd to disperse , but It waa received with Jeers. The prisoner was prostrated from fear and lay crying and moanlwj. Up to this time Dolby and his guards had been kept prisoners In the court house by the mob and then they made an attack. The mllltla repelled thorn without firing at first , but another onslaught wns made and the south door was forced open. This door opens upon the street , which was filled with men. women and children. The detachment of the guards finally fired on Iho attacking party. None ot the latter were hurt , but a dozen or more uersons In the street were struck , Two wcro killed out right and four more were fatally wounded , onrf having since died. The killed are : SMITH WELCH , aged 18 , son of a promi nent grocer , shot through the head. JESSE JUDY , aged 25 , mechanic , shot through the heart. G. W. JOHNSON ot Kile's station. Butler county , shot through the stomach. The wounded are : William Sauer , aged 35 , mechanic , In ab domen. Theodore Ammen , 22 , artesian , right thigh.

Frank Nledeihaus , 05 , shotvln the leg , -will die. die.John John Horn , badly shot In foot , Earnest Ellis , thumb shot off. Frank Smith , Injuries unknown. John McIIugh , boy , shot In the foot and will likely die. It Is believed many others are wounded and a diligent search Is in progress to find them. Upon the firing the mob dispersed In all directions , but soon gathered again. Im mediately all places of business In the city were shut up. Mayor Crenmcr peremptorily closed all places where liquors were sold. Every street was filled with people. No time waa lost In carrying away the dead and wounded. Uuslness houses and the en gine houses were converted Into hospitals. All the surgeons In the city were called Into service. service.MOB MOB GATHERING STRENGTH. Mothers , sisters , wives and sweethearts crowded around the dead and wounded , and added fire to the rage of the mob by their lamentations. Feeling against the militia waa bitter , vicious and vehement. It per vaded all classes. As time passed the mob grew In size an'd fury. All over the coun try by telephone , courier and electric wires , the nev.3 had sped. All the roads leading to tha city wcro filled with men on horse back , In wagons and on Coot , hurry- I'ng ' with all j > osslbk spaed to the scene of bloodshed. Meanwhile , In Washington Courthouse , a search was going on for arms , ammunition nnd dynamite Shouts were heard "Down with the mllltla ; " "Ulow up the dogs , " and "Along wth the black fiend , " These shouts but feebly ex pressed the pcntup passion of everyboJy , for everybody was In the street , and nit were members of the mob , as far as personal feel ing was concerned. JU'n. moed about ns If bent on business , but tald nothing There Is no doubt a purpose to blow up the court no doubt n purpose to blow up the court house. Of this the mllltln nre aware. A full moon lights < fvpry approach to the court house If military reinforcements do not reach hers b 'fore ' the moon goes down , there is danger of further and greater bloodshed between an organized , armed mob and the mllltla , nnd In case the mob succeeds , there is danger that many of the mllltlil will share Dolby's > fate. Additional troops have been ordered from Cincinnati , Columbus , Chllllcothe and other points. Dolby's crime was committed one week ago at Parrotts station. Mrs. Mary C. Royd , aged 55 , was his victim , Ho wns brought Into court this afternoon at 4 o'clock , plead guilty and was sentenced to twenty years In the penitentiary. An angry mob gathered about the jail yesterday after noon after Dolby had been Identified by his victim and Sheriff Cook called to his assist ance the local malltla company. This action Increased the fury against Dolby and Gov ernor McKInley was appealed to for additional assistance and troops from Columbus were sent here this morning. Colonel Colt In command. The mob sur rounded the Jail and courthouse , attempting to take Dolby from the olllcers when he was removed from the jail to the courthouse for trial , but they were kept at bay by the use of bayonets nnd clubbed guns. Henry Kirk , the brothcr-ln-law of the assaulted woman , was then thrown down the steps of the courthouse and badly liruleed. Another man was bayoneted through the finger while a bayonet was thrust through the clothes ot another. Deputies with revolvers drawn cuarded their prisoner In the court room , Dolby cried like a baby and kept looking around for help. Soldiers were marched In to- keep the crowd quiet. After the sentence the prisoner was taken to the grand Jury room. A mob gathered about the courthouse and Itwas Impossible to get the prisoner through to take him tot the train. The officers were powerless to get Dolby from the courthouse to the Jail or to the train nnd Sheriff Cook wired the governor to send more troops. At midnight the courthouse yard was cleared but the ungry mob remained In the square still utter ing threats. . Itonil TiitPKtiuent I'nuipiny Knot lied Out * JEFFERSON CITY. Jlo. , Oct. 17.

The action taken Is notlco to all federal ofllco holders that they must vote for Majors or quit the government service. The following letter bearing on the sub ject explains Itself : _ SOUTH OMAHA , Oct. 17. To the Editor of The Uee : In order that the people of Douglas county may know what kind of a campaign Is going on by the fag end of the democratic party In behalf of T. J. Majors , it will bo necessary lo make public n con fidential communication received by me last Monday. It runs as follows : UNITED STATES , DEPARTMENT OP 'I'Hi : . OKFIC13 OF THE SCC- , v , , . .v , , WASHINGTON , D. C. , Oct. 11 , 1S91 Mr. Ulchnrd llaurignn. South Omahn , Neb. : Sir You me hereby notified that your BCI vices ns tngscr In the Iluienu of Anlmnl Industry of the United States De partment of Agriculture will not be required after October IS , 1S9I , nnd your name will be dropped from the rolls of the depart ment nt the termination of thnt date. He- bpectfully , CIIAS. W. IXUtNEY , JU. . Acting Sccretnry. It Is probably the first time on record that a democrat holdlna n position under n democrntlc administration has been removed because he would not support u republican for ofllce. I submit It ns n fact which cannot be con tradicted that during the sixteen months nnd n half which I held the position of tag ger , that In all that time there has not been n day that I have not reported for duty and performed the work that was assigned mete to do. This can be verified by the dally tlmo reports In the ofilce of D , C. Aycrs , chief Inspector ot the department In South Omaha. The reason , and the only reason , that I was removed Is because 1 would not work for the railroad faction of the democratic party the day of the primaries. Tim South Omaha postmaster , together with the Otoe county doctors who represent J. Sterling Morton In South Omaha , gave it out that any government employe who did not hustle for Tobe Castor nnd his gang would bo marked , and that their official heads would drop Into the basket by the Ides of October. This threat they have made good , and It Is to be presumed that others who are holding positions which can be Jeopardized by the railroad autocrats will take warning and govern themselves accordingly. It Is notoriously true that men holding the position of taggers In South Omaha have nestected the performance of their duties week in nnd week out. Moro thrm that , there have been times without number when some of them have been so drunk that It was Impossible for them to walk without the friendly assistance of a companion. In deed , one of them was arrested for disturb ing the peace a few months ago. Dut they are staunch Majors men and such little Ir regularities In their case are Kindly over looked , Another feature of the campaign as carried on by the administration is the "espionage that Is kept upon men who are supposed to bo friendly to Holcomb. The 'Inspector ' at the Omaha Packing house la detailed for this purpose. Another thing which must be told Is the barter and sale of federal patronage by un scrupulous men. There Is a letter Is Ing be fore mo signed by ono of tha highest offl- clals In this city. In which these words ap pear : Since you left I have had nn offer from one of the i-splrants for postolllce to give me one-half of tlie first year's salary in case ho is appointed , $1,330 might be better than . \au may write whatever you think best , but must not mention the post- pttlce proposition Letters sometimes et lost. Please destroy this. The man who wrote the above Is doing all In his power t6 elect the tpotted can didate. I will ha\e some more to say In re gard to the men who are holding office by the grace of democratic votes bcforo the campaign closes. It may be said by way of extenuation that Mr. Vaughn and myself were- removed to cut down expenses. , Such , however , Is not the fact , as there were two new ap pointees , with commissions In their hands to take our places October 1C. In conclusion I would askIs this a free country ? Arc men to be deprived of earning a. living because they hold nnd express an honest opinion in regard to men and meas ures ? Are wo as worklnRinen who earn an honest living In an honest way to be for ever the dupes and serfs of a band of po litical shylocks ? It may be that some of us will have to suffer for our political opinions but by so doing we will make .Jt easier for those who come after. "For humanity Is jn.-nchlng ; Where tonight the martyr stands , Tomorrow Is a freeman "With , no chains upon his hands. " HICHAUD HAUUIGAN.

LINCOLN , Neb. , Oct. 17. ( Special. ) Lin- oln's : citizens turned out en masse this after- 10011 to listen to the first Joint dcb.ito be- wcen Hon. John M. Thurston nnd Congress man W. J. Ilryan. U hardly needed the ex- ended advertising to draw out the 7,600 or ,000 ( people who crowded Into the largest julldlng on the state fair grounds. The joint : ommlttco on arrangements Issued 7GOO ickets , divided equally between the friends if the two. speakers. Consequently the vast audience wns pretty" nearly divided In scntl- ncnt. nnd honors were easy when tho. np- clause commenced. The dcbato v > as commenced In the largo ulldlng on the state fair grounds devoted to nercnntllo displays. A platform had been constructed at the Juncture of the north and ast quadrangles and everybody had an ex cellent opportunity both to see and hear. It s ono of the largest audiences that over assembled under ono roof at Lincoln , nnd | ho reception given to the two principal fig- - urcs of the afternoon was hearty nnd enthu- -lastlc. C. J. Smyth of Omaha and John P. j laul ot Lincoln took turns In presiding. As j Mr. Ilryan was to open the debate , Mr. ' Smyth made the Introductory statement. Ho stated the conditions of the dcbato and In voked respectful attention to both speakers. The ' young congressman from the First dls- 'rlct was greeted with cheers and hand-clap- ilnu when ho arose to speak.U was some line before ho could commence , owing to the persistence of a large number of men In the center of the hall In stnndlng up. thus ob- structlnc ' the view of those behind. Not until the stalwart form of Captain Mason of t he | Lincoln police force had been thrust Into : he refractory mass of standing auditors did the confusion subside. In opening his ad- Iress " " Congressman Urynn Bald : "Ladles and Gentlemen : This IK not a fflad- atorial contest in which the victor combines nest of the strength nnd skill , but It Is rather n chariot race , In which the rival contestants are being drawn by forces itronger than themselves. The contestants : n this dcbatn must rise or fal | , according as they shall convince the people ot too purposes which actuate them and of the- sincerity of their motives. Both of the men who will address you this afternoon are candidates for the United Stoles senate , with this difference : Both are willing to servo the pcoplo In the highest legislative body ot the nation , but one has been nom- nated for the- position by a convention , tvhllo the other Is a member of a party which has ret made no open choice of a candidate. In Ills letter addressed tc me last week my trlend stated that ho would accept no ofllco that waa not freely given him by the choice of his party nnd the express desire ot th people ; but If the next legislature , which la to elect a United States senator , should fall to contain n republican majority , I do not believe that my republican friend hero will make a close scrutiny of the political com.- [ ilexlon of the men whom ho may bo able to induce to vote for him , "A public servant Is a hired man , nnd you have not to consider his anxiety to servo the people or his desire to be elected. Therefore , we are before you virtually In the same position , and we como to tell you what wo will do for you If you decide to se lect either of us for this high position , " After pledging his loyalty to the prin ciples enunciated In the platform adopted at the democratic convention nt Omaha on September 26 , nnd after Elating that ha would rescive the discussion of the tariff question for a future debate , Mr. Dryan took up the first of his arguments. * DEPENDS THE INCOME TAX. "Tlio first principal topic to which I deslroi to Invite the attention tit this audience , " said Mr. Ilryan , "Is the principle of the income tax as enunciated In the platform adopted at Omaha last month. Our democratic plat form Is an advocate of the Income tax. It la in the Wilson bill and Is a part of the rev enue system of , the government , although Its operntion Is limited to but flvo years. I be- llovo In our platform , nnd I believe In the Income tax , nnd If J nm elected to the United , States senate the tat will remain upon our Btntnto books Just ns long ns my vote can assist In keeping It there. I ask my repub lican friend to say why the republican plat form neither commends nor denounces the Inooino tax ? Tlio people of Nebraska are comparatively a poor people , * nnd It Is cer tainly to their Interest that n part of the burden of taxation shall bo taken from the shoulder.i of the poor and placed upon the rich. The Income tnx Is Just , becniiEo It does so seek to ll'it a portion of this burden , from the shoulders of the poor. Under the provisions ot the Wilson bill wo will collect but one-tenth of the revenue necessary to carry on the government , leaving the other nine-tenths to be ralvid from customs and Internal revenue taxes. "Who pays the Internal revenue taxes ? Manifestly the people who consume the liquor and tobacco upon which thexa tnx PS are placed ; bull men do not pay these taxes In proportion to their Incomes , For example , the man who has nn Income of $100000 will certainly not pay 100 times nn mucli Internal revenue tax art the man who has an Incoma of but $1,000. How Is It with our Import duties ? These duties arc collected upon what wo wear and eat and use. Certainly the man , with en Income ot $100,000 will not pay 101 times ax much of these taxes as Urn man with an Income of but $1,000 , for ho cannot possibly UN ) himself 100 times aa much ol that which IH necessary to eat and wean Therefore , when wo commence to collect tariff duties wo collect a larger unit of th whole ninount 'from men of email Incnmoi than from ir/n ot larger Incomes. U Is fo ( this icason inat we exempt lncor.cn undoi $1,000 , because the men with Incomes undei this amount already pay the greatest pro portion of ( ho Interim ! revenue and customi taxes , Wo do not oren bcllave that ono-tcntli of the cntlro revenues of the fiovermncnl to bo rolfiod by the Incomn tnx la enaiiQli , end wa will favor an Increase of the tax rather than consent to UR removal entirely. "Again , but one-half of the Income tax late to bo collected from Individuals. The \mialn- lug half will bo collected from corporations. Those corporations do not contribute to the ro\cnu g talsed fioni the Internal rctenuo taxeu , find > ot the greater part ot Iho ex- pfnsos Incurred In the ojioraUuns of iho general government i occasioned by thcsa corporations nhlth pay but a sninll proportion tion of the ta\c * . Why , two-thirds of U.o oxponic * of our-federal courts ore Incurred by rcnton of thcto corporations , and It Is al ready opimrvnt thnt the number of these courU will have lo be Incroastd Is it not fair , then , thnt thcec corporations filial I pay larger proportion of ( he taxes than they do nt prricnt ? It l fair that the govern ment Fhould cclI-L 2 per emit ot the not earnings of thue companies , for It IK only In thl manner tlmt wa can reach Iho Ihou- iiinda of foreign Investors who today do not coatil'jute ' a cent to Iho support at thai
