Mr.. Hubbard holds that for the protec-

There is an exhaustive contention of a

that with this lien established and the

THE PACIFIC RAILROAD BILL
Hubbard Has Submitted the
Minority Report to the House.
Reasons Given Why the Powers Act
Should Not Pass-The MorEan-Brice
Bill Recommended.

The minority report on the Pacific rail
road bill was submitted to the House yes
terday by Representative Hubbard of Mis-
souri,. 1t deals eXhaustively with the finan
cal conditions of the companies concerned
in the propos ed funding plan. 1t argued
that the majority bill should not be adopte,
for three reasons:
First The committee have not Learned
enough of the affairs of the debtor com
panies to be able to tell the House what i
is best to do.
Second. The companies made offers be
fore the committee, and are undoubtedly
ready to concede terms, very much better
for the government than those embodied IL
the bill.
Third The propositions in the bill ar,
neither good nor safe for the government.
Under the first head il is contended thai

Party Not In It.

During the last year or two the
money question has been voted on in
Congress a number of times, and on
every occasion there has been shown
an utter disregard of party obligations.
There is something about these money
questions exceedingly disintegrating to
political party organizations. Such
discordant elements as Sherman and
Cleveland. under the influence of this
power solvent, come together like two
drops of water. AS snow melts under
the summer sun so party discipline
dissolves in the presence of money.
This has been demonstrated over and
over again.
These money questions are invar-
iably questions of money getting. They
are questions between the money
makers and the money grabbers, be-
tween those who earn money and those
who get money without earning. The
United States government OF late more
than ever before is arrayed on the side
Of the money getters and against the
earners of money; party has little to
do with 1t. Whatever the money
power demands finds ready support
from both parties.-Civic Review.

barously Magnificent.

Harrison the Recipient of an Offer Bar
barousIy Magnificent.
Benjamin H. Harrison was offered
100000 by a certain New York paper
to write for it gossipy letter of not
less than 100 words each day from the
reporters gallery in the republican
national convention. There are thou
sands of honest, sober, Industrious la
boring men engaged in producing
wealth in this country who would glad
ly bind themselves to their masters
during the remainder of their natural
lives if their masters would agree to
secure them in the possession of a job
which would average them $500 per
year.
Put these two facts together and then
consider some other things in connec-
ton with them.
Ten thousand dollars at the above
rate wou" hire man to grub, plow,
hustle lumber, shovel coal, or do any
other ''unskilled' labor-which, by the
way, is always cheaper than Skilled"
labor, though it is the humble mudsill
upon which the latter depends for its
thirtythree years and four
months, at the end of which time the
unskilled laborer. if he had not died
sooner. would be ready to fill a pau
per's grave.
Ten thousand dollars will buy, and
pay cash for, one of the finest 16O-acre
farms in the grandest agricultural
state in the Union; it will buy and
pay cash for two stores better than
the average stores of the country: it
will buy, and pay cash for. ten of the
average blacksmith, wagonmaker or
carpenter shops of the country. At 6
per cent interest $4,000 will produce
an annual income, without the slight
est exertion on the part of it's owner,
as great as two of our unskilled labor
ing men can earn in the production of
wealth by hard years work and be
just as fresh at the opening of it's sec
ond year as it was at the beginning of
its first
But what is perhaps more sugges-
tive, $4,000 would have hired one hun
dred better. brighter and brainier men
than Ben Harrison, either of whom
would have sent better copy" to the
paper employing him than Harrison
could.
Then who or what is Benjamin Har-
rison, that he should be thus favored
above other men?
Physically he is little, short, pudgy
fellow, a good deal after the style of

A Mistake.


Perhaps the populists would accom-
plish more if they would drop the
gold bug for the present and devote
their energies to the chinch bug
New York Press.
There you are all wrong. The chinch
bug works only in patches; and il
does not touch the potatoes, or the
cattle, or the pigs, or the chickens. or
the horses; but the gold bug devours
them all. And then everybody says.
Good" if we kill the chinch bugs
but there would be terrible uproar if
we killed the gold bugs. And certain
kinds of weather produce spores that
fasten on the chinch bugs and destroy
them by the millions; but there is
nothing that seems to have any effect
on the gold bugs-they are as salu-
brious as bed bugs and as provocative.
If we put corrosive sublimate on a gold
bug, the daily papers of the whole
country would shrek as if we had run
lancet into their vital parts: and
the army and navy and the courts
would all be put into operation to de-
fend him.
Chinch bugs. indeed! Why. they are
quiet, pleasant and harmless little
chaps compared with the gold bugs.
If we could get clear of the gold bugs
the chinch bugs would not bother US
Representative.

Labor PaYa All Debt.

All wealth comes out of the earth.
This fact should be kept in mind.
The way it is extracted from the
land is also important.
1t can only be drawn from the soil
by the application of labor to land.
Thus it will be seen that all of the
debts and taxes are paid by labor
applied to land.
The most difficult thing in the world
is to secure for this fact lodging
place in the human mind.
The merchant thinks probably that
he adds to the wealth of the country
by selling goods at great sacrifice
from his bargain counter.
He does not add penny to the vol
ume of the nations wealth.
The banker may think he adds to the
national wealth by the practice Of
usury, skinning the people on his
loans.
A banker never did add one cent to
a nations wealth.
The great army of middle men may
think they add to wealth by robbery
of both the producer and the consumer.
Middle men never created one penny
of national wealth.
And SO it goes with all classes of
business and professional men. They
are consumers of wealth. but they do
not produce cent.
All wealth being created by labor,
it follows that all of the debts of gov
ernment, national. state and municipal,
fall to the lot of labor to pay.
An another important question to
be remembered is that the greater the
debts, the heavier tax and the less
labor derives in the way of wages for
producing wealth. When the debts be-
come sufficiently burdensome then la
Dor becomes a condition of absolute
slavery.-Southern Mercury.

Of our position with that of Jefferson
and jackson on the financial question,
usually ignore the land plank and pour
out their walls of wrath upon govern
ment ownership of the means of trans
portation and communication. That
they have little or nothing to say in
criticism of the populist on the land
question | attribute in part to the fact
that the doctrine we preach was first
proclaimed by Jefferson and is there
fore older than the democratic party,
and because of it's popularity with the
masses, was championed by demo-
cratic press and orators whenever there
was chance to secure political ad-
vantage in their contention with the re-

part to the fear that the party's record

close inspection
Answering the assertion ridicule
and abuse of the tools of plutocracy
who denounce the transportation plank
of our platform. populists maintain
that the principle is as old as the gov
ernment itself.
1t may be found in the declaration
of the founders of the republic. that
public highways are and shall be the
property of the people. Navigable
streams could not be owned in whole
or in part by individuals corpora
tons or by states even but should for
ever remain the property of the gen
eral government.
Railroads are nothing more nor less
than public highways. and to permit
private ownership is a dangerous in

dirt roads and navigable streams.

We beg lea<e to correct Senator
Teller of Colorado and John Sherman
of Ohio. You see there is no one who
has kept closer tab on John Sherman
during the last twenty-five years than
the writer hereof. We know him. as
the saying is. as well as If we had
wheeled the dirt to make him.
In course of a speech on the anti
bond bill Senator Teller had the fol-
lowing exchange of courtesies," with
the senator from Ohio.
Teller-The senator from Ohio talks
about the sacredness of contracts. !
remember when the senator from Ohio
declared that theperson who would not
take Accent greenback in exchange
for any debt that the government owed
him was a robber and a thief. Mr..
President, he changed his mind very
soon after that.
Mr. Sherman do not think used
those words
Mr.. Teller-He used the words rob.
ber'' and "extortioner;" that it was
"extortion."
Mr.. Sherman-Not thief"
Mr.. Teller-He was a robber without
being a thief.
Now, the fact Is what Sherman said
