ts a Joynus occasion. It does an old Ne

this long line of faces and nee so many Ne
braska hankers gathered together, so many
f the old bankers bankers of the olden
times interspersed and mingled, It Is true,
with the younger ones, who must lake up the
burden i lint we older ones will soon be called
upon to lay down. Hut. If It Is conceded
that It is u profitable thing and a pleasant
thing for us to gei together In this man
ner, the question might well be asked, Why
Is It that we haw allowed the loug period
of six years to pais In silence; why Is It
that wo have not gathered together moro
frequently as we are hero tonight, to en
Joy this personal contact with each other
and the pleasure ami profit which must
como from It? This Is a question which,
perhaps, admits of several answers. Hut
let us bo frank with each other and ndntlt
that ono of the causes, and the ehlef
cause, for our not meeting annually, ns wo
expected to do when wo organized this as
sociation, has been the fact that during this
fateful period the business In which wo are
engaged has been made the special target
for polllcnl abuse nnd calumny. Hanker;,
are a sensitive set of men nnd they have
been unwilling to do anything which might
draw upon them this fire of abuse ami
criticism, although they havo been conscious
of no wrong-doing and have been guiltless
of any act which would Justify It. Ne
braska, It Is true, has been the hotbed of the
money agitation, but still the question may
be asked. Why should the banking business
be selected any moro than the numerous
other businesses which 1111 tho country?
Cliinr to tin- rrvt' I'riilrr,
"Mr. McKllllp, In his elegant address, re
ferred to a fact which I do not think hns
generally been observed, although it Is un
questionably a fact, that tho banking busi
ness comes closer to the nerve rumor of
every cdass m too community than any
other. As a fact, our business reaches
Into tho family clrc.lo of every class. It
forms the bulwark for the peace and con
fidence which make happy homes and fire
sides. Tho explanation for this Is plain.
"In the olden times and In miiuy of tho
older countries of the world today, the
peoplo aro considered happy anil pros
perous If they are able to obtain their
dally support from tho current resour.es
of the country. Hut such u hand-to-mouth
arrangement will iut answer for tho peoplo
of this great country of ours. We demand
omethlng more than a dally support; It
ta necessary that a storehouse bu made
from which wo may draw In days to como
when wages may ceaso or salaries como
to an end. Hctiro tho origin of bank de
posits, and theiti can be no greater or
better Indication of a prosperous condition
In a country than that Indicated by .the
xicnt of Its bank deposits. 1 am aware
that Bomo of the calamity howlers assert
that bank deposits do not Indicate pros
perity, but we can contradict thcho asser
tions from their own mouths. For In
stance, Mr. llryan, In a speech delivered
ln 1S0G less than four years ago dc
clared that if the gold standard was con
tinued the depositors In banks would bo
forced to withdraw their money lu order
to obtain their dally subsistence. Surely
Mr. Hryan would admit that this necessity
would be an Indication of ca amity, and
If tho withdrawal would bo calamity, an
Increase must bo an ludlcutlon of pros
perity. The gold standard has continued
and the remarkable prophecy of Mr. Hryan
In answered by his own stato of Nebraska
ln this rcmarknblo manner:
"At tho tlmo Mr. Hryan made this speech
the total deposits In all of tho banks of
the state wore loss than $3'.' .000,000. They
nro today over $70,000,000, an Increase of
120 per cent.
A Your "if llrniilittlou,
"Mr. Wattles, In his splendid address of
welcome, referred to 1S'J4 us tho dato of
tho ebb-tldo of deposits In tho city of
Omaha. Mr. Wattles overlooked another
year, which, to tho banking business In tho
tato and nil over tho country, was worse
It Is In this opinion that all bankers must

these variations could not bo of benetlt
to our customers or to ourselves and there
fore wo havo not been able to Join In tho
support of our peerless Nebraska states
man In tho extraordinary position he has
taken upon tho money question. Wo have
not been willing to mount with his I'eg.isus
Into tho clouds of fancy which envelop him.
I nlvrrml Stnmliiril of Value.
"There Is an old nursery rhyme which
goes somewhat In this manner:
Rod ttuulo m.in and man made money,
Uod mailo lues and the bees made honey.
"Hut there Is a great fallacy In tho Jingle
ami It Is strange that so many people aro
willing to nccept as the truth the asser
tions In a nursery rhyme rather than the
teachings of experience and common sense.
(Sod, it Is true, inn do man and bees, but
bo also made money. Man may devise
schemes to represent money, he may In
vent mothods which will effect tho bulk of
tho exchanges without tho actual uso of
any money at all, but theso schemes aro
nil transitory. They havo only their llttlo
day of life and all tho real uso and value
they may havo nro conferred by that uni
versal standard of value which regulatos
aud controls tho monetary affairs of the
civilized world.
"It Is for this cause we havo been abused
aud discriminated against. Wo have held
to the old standard, the only standard wo
have ever known. Wo havo pinned our
faith to the Clod-made money. Wo havo
not been willing to place confidence In a
man-made money any moro than wo have
been willing to bow tho head and bend tho
knee to n man-made Clod.
"Hut, let us be thankful. Tho curtain
has been rung down by tho chief per
former himself. Tho curtain may bo as
flimsy and as fraudulent ns tho propositions
It serves to obscure and hide, but It Is
enough. A half coucehsion from such a
source Is n complete surrender nnd here
after wo may rest assured that bankers
can piosecutn their business anil express
their sentiments like other peoplo without
fear of the discrimination against them
which has hcictoforo prevailed."
Mortnn'N llrrrcy Aililrcnn,
Hon. J. Sterling Morton spoke as follows:
"I think that the man who begins to nd
dtesa you after 1 a. m. stands sixteen
chnnres of being a bore to one of being
pleasing.
"I have n great Interest In bankers, and
have ever since I began to pay Interest to
my amiable friend. Mr. Millard, here, when
he would occasionally take me to ono bide
and with a smilo that was bland and win
ning, say. seeing It was me, I could have It
at - per cent u month.
"It luis been suggested to mo by your
worthy toastmasler that I should say eomc
thing upon tho subject of trusts. Any plain
farmer who nt this time In the morning will
trust himself to speak lu tho presence of
representatives of tho great money trusts of
tho country Is certainly In danger.
"I'orty-slx yenrs ago I set foot for tho
first time on the eastern bank of the Mis
souri liver opposite Omnhn, and old Hill
Hrown. whom the older representatives of
tho banking Interests here will remember,
had a trust In a flatboat ferry whtch crossed
from Iowa Into the state of Nebraska. Ho
had a monopoly, there was no competition;
you crossed with Hrown or you stayed on
the other side. Thero stood thu young
man, Absolotu. Wero the young men of
the country safo when Hrown had a
monopoly? And then came tho diabolism of
the money powor conspiring together nnd
represented by Unos Uwo, gamue! Hayllss
and James Jackoon, to do what? To put
down this Individual monopoly of Hrown by
chipping In enough money to establish n
steam ferry which was owned by tho Ne
braska and Iowa Land company, and Hrown
went down aud tho flatboat retired from
business. Now this heinous offense of
capital even ln that early day upon tho
banks of tho Missouri river combined to
throttle the entire flatboat Industry. Hut
times works ln a mysterious way and has
wonders to perform and In duo tlmo theso
aforesaid persons who built that first steam
ferry found that tho plutocrats of New York
"Now, wo are Informed that the young
man Is not eafo when trusts dominate
tho country, and when I look nt the spenk
crs who make these wonderful utterances,
theso prophets of inlamlty nnd disaster
who did business In liiiiC. and look for
their vorllUatlon of those prohesles. those
made In vnln. It strikes me as particularly
Inconsistent that they should say those
things, for hero In Nebraska wo have first
and foremost n great political trust or
combine. Four distinct organizations,
separate political corporations, combined
to get a trust on nominations and prcvont
competition. And tho beneficiary of this
mint, the geaeral manager of this political
Imn!., which has four distinct organiza
tions In It, tolls us how wicked It Is for
money to combine for pecuniary purposea,
while It Is exceedingly proper for parti's
to combine for political purposes. And
they have carried It so fur that they havo
even objected to tho mlddlo-of-tho-ioml
populists having a trudemark, and nil
that conserved nnd colued patriotism
called populism they propose to sot aslile
and oven go Into court at Lincoln and
nslt tho supreme court to docreu that the
trademark, or brand, populist, shall not
be permitted to any other party than the
grand trust and conglomeration whl'ii
Colonel llryan heads.

"Tho paroxysms which Colonel Hryau In
dulges in iu regard to the young man navo
touched mo In my tonderest spot, not be
cause I am a young muu, but because 1
have four sons, who are relatively to tho
old man quite young, and 1 am worried
about them. Wht Mr. Bryan said In St.
Louis Is to be reiterated ln my home town
tonight when ho walks tho platform aud
MiiitilH out populism. Now, Is tho young
man safe when tho bankers of tho couutry
control Its currency? Is tho young man
Mifo? When thu tailors control tho cloth
and the raiment, and the shoemakers, the
boots and shoes, Is tho young man safo?
When tho baker controls tho bread of the
country, Is tho young man safo? When
tho girls control the best wies of tho
country. Is the young man safo? (Laugh. or.)
And thun again he says when tho monetary
system of tho country Is controlled by for
eign and domestic llnanclcrs Is tho young
man safe? I think ho Is safer than ho
would be 1 f t lie financial and monetary sys
tem was controlled by Coin Harvey aud
Colonel nryan. These gentlemen, who talk
bo learnedly to you about money handlers
or dealers ln credit, always dedaro theai
selves oven to tho reiteration of the doc
trlno of tho Kansas City platform, that
thero must bo a doublo standard, and that
they nevor will ceaso their warfaro upau
tho gold standard until they havo secured
by this government the coinage of silver
lu tho ratio of 10 to 1, In unlimited quan
tities. Did It ever occur to you that no
16 to 1 advocate can stato his case without
admitting the slnglo standard. What is
tho one? Clold. Tho standard by which
they measure the whole.

not enough circulating medium In this

was selling town sites and town lots, wo

to Increase tho per capita circulation, and
In order to do that wo must establish
bnnkB and mako money hero, and wo did
establish, by special charters, flvo banks
with power to Issue about flvo millions of
money. I had ono bank referred to me as
chairman of tho special comnilttoo. The
charters provided that tho stockholders
should be Individually liable. That would
not hurt any of them much. (Laughter.)
And I Incurred tho wrath of the chief
money men of that day by moving an
amendment so that it should be put on
every bill, Instead of stockholders indi
vidually liable, hill holders Individually
liable, but It didn't work. Tho banks were
established, tho money was Issued hero in

"The Stato Hank of Missouri bills, which
were redeemablo In gold, and tho ones which
had circulated here, disappeared llko the
mist of tho morning before the Bun, and
when tho panic of '67 came, when John
Thompson of New York failed, when tho
great trust company of Ohio failed, then
our banks followed suit .vlth nu alacrity
that was appalling; they did It with felicity
and ease and our peoplo had In their pockets
what? Tho pictures which had been Issued
by theso Irresponsible banks. There was
tho first attempt In this territory In Ne
braska to glvo tho peoplo cheap money.
Wo got all wo wanted of It and more, too.
It was demonstrated a good deal like this:
A country doctor called on a patient and
left a lot of medicine and was going out of
tho door and tho anxious nurse says, 'Hold
on, doctor, you didn't tell us how much to
give him.' Ho says, 'It don't make any
difference; give it to him until ho pukes.'
They gave us cheap money until wo all
threw up. (Laughter.) Tho great art In
banking then was to get your circulation
abroad and as far away from tho point of
Issue as possible, and, whllo our buukcrs
played It very sharply, there were others,
We used to get up hero a f,rcat deal of
money on tho Agricultural Hank of Ten
nessee (You remember that money,
Hrother Millard.) After a while It began
to decline, went down to 00 cents, then 80
nnd then 60, when finally It was a pretty
hard matter to trade and pay In Agricultural
Hank of Tennessee bills. The steamer
IMliibnrKh cumo un the river, it was 300
miles to the wood yard; Captain Daniels j
lulled a farmer on tho bank and says. 'What
do you ask for wood?' Ho says, 'So aud.
so.' Cuptaln says. 'Will you lake Agrl- I
cultural Hank of Tennessee hills?' Tho
farmer says, 'yes.' 'Well,' ho says, 'how
will you trude?' Ho says, 'Kvcn up.' And
he rounded to and started to take on the
wood, and tho farmer says, 'Hold up.'
Well." ho says, "you said you would trade
oven up.' 'Well,' says the farmer, 'I meant
Jtibt what 1 said cord for cord.' That was
before the crime of '73. (Laughter.)
'full Intcreit.
"Wo had high rates of Interest In those
days. I don't know If It was Millard, but
I think it was. A certain gentleman mado
a real estate deal aud took a note without
Interest, duo two years from date, aud ho
wanted it discounted. Ho went lu to Mil
lard uud says, i want to dlbcount this note.'
Of course Millard didn't want to do It, but
after a whllo he says, 'Seeing It Is you I
will do It at the regular rates, which Is 5
per cent a month.' Tho man says, 'Can't
you do It a llttlo better thun that?' Millard
bays, 'No, 1 could not.' Finally thu man
bays, i guess I will htjve to let you take It
at that,' and you ought to sco Joseph flguro,
and then Millard said, 'Ulvo me the note and
$40.' (Laughter.)
"I was to say something about trusts.
Down iu the old fogy town where 1 llvo
adjoining, about nine years ago, some
youug men (notw IthBtundlug tho voluino of
the currency was in tho hands of the money
trust) with whom 1 nm related distantly,
my hons conceived tho idea of establish
ing; a starch manufactory. Tho younger
ono was tho originator of it. He says hero
Is tho corn, tho railroad, tho transporta
tion, tho river for the wnter; there Is no
reason why wo should not mako starch
here and reach all markets with it. After
somo Importuniug his brothers aud other
iclutivos concluded to go Into It. A fac
tory of tho capacity of 250 bushels of corn
per day was established. Tho capital wan
J10.000. Now this combination at tho eud
of two years found tnut It nail lost just
$50,000, and the stock was assessed at 100
ceuts on the dollar, aud tho assessments
were paid. And to make a loug story short
this early In tho morning, that factory
liar, grown from 250 bushels of corn per
day to 3,000 bushels, and every tweuty-four
hours It turns out thlrty-thrco tons of good

is doing a very decent sort of business and
employing two hundred and odd people.

to the supremo court and taken action to
close It up. It Is a combination of capital

ground ln tho last year 1.CO0.O0O bushels of
corn raised upon theso prairies; It haa
paid for that corn nearly half a million
dollars, and in (ho same period of time It
has paid out $160,000 in wages. And this
is a menaco to calamity, nnd without ca
lamity thero will bo no populism, and
therefore this notion is taken to closo tho
works. And tonight those gentlomcn aro
thero to mnke those peoplo of Nebraska
City bellovo, If possible, that It would bo
a mighty Good thing to shut down the shop
and cease to grind the Nohrnska corn into

first under trcatmeut, then the surgeon's knife, ami through
complete disgust I gave up both, and, acting under advice of
a friend, I took Dr. Pierce's niodiciuo with patience. Now,
I owe my life to that wonderful ' Prescription of ldc, and I
cannot recommend it too highly. Never iu my profession
have I sect: such a 'miraclc-worlccr' iii the form of medicine.
"Tho poor invalids who arc throwing nwrry dollars in pin
relief medicines, morphine, l&udttnam, etc., hnd better turn
to Dr. Pierce's remedies, we., while he can remove the pain
without the adimmatration of iwodyuc, he cau more easily
remove the cause."
Even if there were but one such testimonial to the
remarkable cure of women's diseases by "Favorite
Prescription, " it would be an encouragement to give
it a trial. But the cures effected by tins remarkable
medicine for women are legion in number and their
scope covers every form of womanly disease which
is curable by the use of medicine. Of "Favorite
Prescription" it can be truthfully affirmed that it
always helps and almost always cures. Let any
suffering woman who reads these statements, ask
herself : Is not such a remedy worth a trial ?
These three cures are representative. Behind
them are half a million other cures. The record
shows that ninety-eight in every hundred women
who have used Dr. Pierce's medicines have been
perfectly and permanently aired. Only two women
in each hundred fail of complete cure. But even
these report great benefit and improved health.
Are you one of the ninety-eight who can be com
pletely cured, or one of the two who can be greatly
helped but not entirely healed? A fair trial of
"Favorite Prescription" will put the question for
ever at rest.
TWO OPERATIONS WITHOUT RELIEF.
"I was troubled with female weakness for eight years, ami
suffered ikots tlinti I cau tell," writes lire. Gust. Moser, of
Ovaudo, Deerlodfje County, Mont. "My disposition wis
affected to such an extent, that to any a plcnsnnt word to
anyone was almost an impostnbilitv. I hud two operations
performed by oue of the most skilled snrfjeonn of the Veet,
but did not get telief. Then, tpilnst siy doctor's strict
orders, 1 commenced tatlug Dr. Pierce's 1'nvotltc I'rercrip
tiou and 'Golden Medical Discovery,' nnd alo followed the
advice given in the 'Common Sestne Medical Adviser. 1
coutinucd this treattneut for three moutiu, and to-duy sm
as hc.vlthy and well as a woman cau be. I cannot tliank
Dr. Pierce enough for his kind letters to mc."
Such testimony cannot be read without the
thouglit, "How much suffering might have been
saved had Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription been
tried first mstend of hist." cut would the timely
use of "Favorite Prescription " have effected a aire?
That queeliou in best answered by the testimouial
which follows. Here is a case in which the woman
was "a perfect physical wreck" and H suffered most
excruciating pain." The attending physician ad
vised an operation. Bat tlic husbnud dreaded the
knife and prevailed on his wife to try "Favorite
Prescription." The remilt was the usual oac a
perfect and permanent cure.
OPERATION ADVISED BUT AVOWED.
"October 12th, ifV)3, I wrote yon for the first time," says
Mrs, Altec E. Shipley, of Wert Point, Hardin County, Ky.
"Was very ill, confined to my bed most of the time; had no
appetite, patua lu left ovary; could not rest only on oue side,
without Miflcring mit cxeruciatinjf pains. Was a perfect
wreck, physically. I underwent un evnmioatiou by one of
the nioit prominent physicians of Lonhsvillc, Ky. He pro
nounced my ense tumor of the stomach, and ndvined me to
return iu two weeks oiid have an orvrntioii nerfomiud. Mv
husband ban sneh a dread of tlie ' knife that he prevailed
upon me to try Dr. Pierce's medicines. 1 took seven bot
tles of 'l'ovorfte Prescription,' and two vUls of 'Pellets,'
which cured me of constipation. Have not taken any medi
cine since the hut of February. I sow attend to nil my
houftcwork, cook, wash, iron aud sew for a family of six.
Many have been advised by mc to try your treatment, ami
prrat are the l;iiefits derived. Mv enmcjA oravcr Ln that all
i limy write you for advice, aud may God bless you for tho
goon your medicines nave none lor mc."
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a medicine
especially designed aud perfectly adapted to the
cure of diseases of women. It is purely vegetable
and cannot disagree with the weakest constitution.
It is a perfect regulator ; it dries the drains which
weaken women, licals inflammation and ulceration
and cures female weakness.
Reference is made in Mrs. Moser's testimonial to
Dr. Pierce's "kind letters," and in Mrs. Shipley's
letter to her correspondence with Dr. Pierce. Every
sick and ailing woman is invited to consult Dr. Pierce
by letter free. All correspoudcncc i held as
strictly private and sacredly confidential, and wom
anly confidences are guarded by strict professional
privacy. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
In a little over thirty years, Dr. R. V. Pierce,
chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, assisted by
his staff of nearly a score of physicians, has treated
and cured more than half a million women.
