The Billion DoIlarsCongress

The New York World estimates
that the Billion Dollar Congress.
spent more money than all thu
protected" industries can earn il
three years. It certainly spent more
money than would have paid of the
entire National debt. It spent al
much money as the entire wheat
crop of the country for three years
would amount to. If the money
were in one dollar bills, and the
bills placed end TO end, they would
reach half way from the earth to
the moon. And they would also
encircle the globe at the equator
four times. If an expert cashier
could connt one hundred Of these
bills a minute, and work ten hours
a day without a pause and 365 DAYS
a year, it would take him nearly
city years to count the whole. If
the whole sum were in gold and
loaded in freight cars. filling each
car 70 IFS full capacity Of 10000
pounds, in would require q train Of
I09scars TO transport the gold from
place TO place. In silver, about
1900 freight cars would be reeuir.,
ed. From estimates like these the
people get some faint and inadequate
notion of the ineonceivable amount
of money the Billion Dollar Con-
gress spent. Congressman McMilleD
aids our Imagination in the difficult
task by the statement that ID means
the expenditure of a sum equal to
SIG minute since the Declaration
of independence was signed, or 500
hour since Christ was born. I'll
almost seems as il Mr.. Reeds Con-
gress was dear at the price.

In the judgement Of the Sutton
|(Neb.) Advertiser farmers who an
tagonize railroads in a young, grow.
ing state make a fatal mistake.
Young states need all the friends
and money they can get. They
want railroads To- bring in immi.
grants cheaply and comfortably and
to carry out their products. There
fore, says The Advertiser to the
Nebraska Alliance legislature, make
friends with railroads and capitalists.
So far as Nebraska railroads are
concerned, you may pass laws that
will make them poer, but it will not
make the farmers rich. You may
pass laws that will check any further
railroad development, but yea will
also check the development Of the
whole State. You will not only
check the advance improperly values
and the farmer Who OWNS a farm
will DE a loser as we'll as the owner
of the railroad stock. The man who
owns the SIS, 600 farm and the man
who owns the SIS 900 railroad stock
are both 10 the same boat. If you
strike one you strike both. If the
boat sinks they both 60 down to-
gether. Environment is a mighty
chain that binds humanity together,
and no man can escape it. The land
owner Of this state at this time is
dependent on cheap capital and on
the further development Of the rail
road interests for its value. and he
can not escape the environment.
five invite capital it will come
and settle among us and be a part Of
ns. 1t will buildsup our cities, es-
tablish and maintain factories. Il
will build new lines Of railroad and
our unpeopled prairies. II
will add value to our property, and
I 10 the only thing on earth that has
he power do this. Every farmer is
'ich or poor according to the value
bis land. His capital is in bis
and. II bis land is valuable he is
ich. Il his land is worthless he is
,oor. Land has no value in itself,
'nly as it is associated with people
md capital. Double the railroad
Mileage, double the population aud
louble the capital now 10 use in this
State, and yon double and treble
he market value of every farm and
very town lot. But if We enact
avs that repel capital, If we hedge
I about with penalties and offer a
'remium to dishonest borrowers 30

neasy of his investments, then CAPT
will go away and,stay away and
cave us in our poverty.
