OMAHA, Sept. 9.-Butler, in lis speech
before the Nebraska state fair, said all the
farms in Cass county, Iowa, were mortgaged
for more than they would self for, Ii the
East could send goods west and get corn in
return 1t would benefit both. Nebraska corn
that sells for Is to IS cents, brings 75 cents
East. The cost of transportation was caused
by the enormous interest paid Oh the bonds
and watered stocks of the fast freight lines
and railroads that skinned the people. The
government gave away principalities of land,
took mortgages on itand allowed other mort
cages, Transportation should be made cheap.
The managers got away with the bulk of
their capital, and the people have to pay
rates they cannot live on. Corn is disposed
of in Chicago for the benefit of speculatsrs.
A, man can steal $4,000 pounds of pork in
Chicago and go unpunished, while one who
steals enough to support life is sent to jail.
He alluded to the rise of the republican
party and the treason of the southern demo-
Gratis. He urged his hearers to stand together
and fight for liberty. He enumerated all the
various monopolies If Jackson were alive
to-day he would vote for him, for he would
say: Shy the eternal, these wrongs must be
righted, p and they would be.
They can be righted now by sending proper
men to congress. The Pittsburg riot will be
repeated if the people don't take warning.
The cry of oyer-production should be chang
ed to under-consump The people were
starving, while the Nebraska granapies were
overfowing with grain. The railroads will
not allow the grain and manufactures to be
brought together, so as to live. Laborers
and farmers have power to elect presidents.
The old dparties should be abandoned Vote
together and in a few years they would lib
crate themselves as the abolitionists liber-
ated the slaves -.
