Tae howl which the Omaha Herald in attempting to raise over the pro- vislons in the amended charter, which provide for au increwso of our munic ipal indcbtedness, is as souselees as it is unnecessary. Certain improvements are demanded o o condl- tion of our city—the advent of water- works, aud the rapid increass of our clty population. The money for these improvements, chief of which is some > system, most be tax upon the 3 rect levyupoa all the propsrty owners of tho city or by the plasing of bonds whose anoual intersst ehall by met by our peopls and to the payment of the principal of which the next generatior will contribute. Tae charter smend- mont as decided upon by the Dougles county delegation in full accordauce with the wishes of our paople provides for improvement bonds for sewerage Pucposss to be issusd by the city =2uacil upon a two-thifls vote of she lagal clectors of Omaha. The amend- ment further provides that not more than $100,000 of such bonded indebt- cdocss shall bs contracted in any one Undor such safeguards woseo no apprehension on the partof the citizene of Omaha for the fataze financlal condition of our elty and “of their own pockets, provided the property of thls city is justly ns- seased and the ten per cent. valuation insiricily enforced. It is a notorions fact that property has not been equit- sbly listed in our city and connty heretofore. Hundrodsand thousands of dollars of nnkes and mortgagos held by men of wealth have never been roturned in the assessor's books and are practically exompt from taxation. The rate of taxation mpon property rs, or a is high becamse a large proportioa of the personsl proparty of our eitizens escapes as- ssssment entirely. Ca {his acoonat the bardea of taxation falis heavily upon men of moderate means aud | thoss whose proparty baing iu sizht cannot be concealed from the aesestor. Herein lies one of the gravest cius of high taxation in Omaha, for which | thers iz a remady at the disposal f | our people. The most flagrant exsm- vle of tax exemption in Omsha ia the case of the Uaion Pacide, which the ald of the revenus law of 1870 | and the connivance of the state bo ard of discrimination evaded assasamant onnearly §700,000 of real aad personal propecty withi the city and county limits.

Thesubsequent exploits of this great public bensfactor fa his dealings with the wostern railroad e known fo need recapitulation. The consolidatlon of the Union & Kansas Pacific roads with the injection of mil- lions of dollars ¢ worthless stock lnto the cap! E tho oppressions and cxtortions heaped upon the Indignant people of Donver and Clorado, the continued highway robbery of the farmers and merchants of Nebraska, all have becn largely due to the mackinations cf this philan- throphic rallroad king, and all have taken place in the face of the most rosy-colored promiizes of echemes for the public welfare, and plodgas of his good fatentions for the development and prosperity of our people. A fow years ago this pablic benefao- tor organized a telegeaph corp-ration withthe sols object 1n view of black- malling the Wostern !Union a_some subsequent {lme fnto its purchase. The people were again fuformed by M. Gould and his agents that a wide resching system of cheap telegrapky was sbout to be put n operation for the public good that a new era of rapld and cliesp communleation was about to dawn upon the land. viewers were assu king that competl Tnter. by the monopoly m in tolegraphy was the sole object «f the new compa- ny ana that the American Union would buy out the Western Union long be- fore that company would even medi- tate the purchase of its young and active competitor. Popular sympathy was arcused for the new corporation and the peaple saw in its rapid ex- tension aud slightly chespened rates, the solution of the telegraph problem, A few like Tur Ber insisted, from the first, that the schemo waszimply a huge blackmailing operation, aod the outeome of a fow weeks ago proved the trath of thelr assertione. And now, haviog colned a few more millions from this bold operation, this princely stock gambler comes up smil- ing aad poses before the country as a mighty benofactor sod » disintorested philantropist. We are informed that the telegraphic millentam s at band, and that consclidation of the varlous lines has put 1t inthe power of its managoment to grantto the people the great boon which has 0 long been promised, but as yot unfulfiled. It remaina to be seon whether any but the subsidized organe of this wiley and wnpriuclpled schemes will contloge to chant hls praiscs as s man of honor, and a bene- factor of mankind, —— Tag monopoly cappers wito refused to belleve that Gan.

The works are deslgned to have the largest capacity of any similar estab- lishment in the Union, and capsble of tarning out 500 locomotives por num, or an average of nearly two I comotives per day. They will give employment to over 2000 skilled me- chanics, besides a small army of work- men aud Inborers. Every part and detall will be construsted under the company's roofs, and first-class work guarantoed.

Tho present tariff pro- vides handsome and liboral subsidies £o the salt makers, the iron and steel makers, the leather, silk, woolew, and cotton goods ‘manufacturers, to the sugar refiners, and 1o several other Dranchea of Industry, but none to the agricultural laborers of the eountry. To this lattor class, being a large ma- jority of the whole paople of the country, is left the Important, but not, therefore, the less onerous, duty of paylng the bulk of the proposed sub. sidics. Having taxed and protected shipbuilding out of existence, these statesmon of she subsidy school are now tmploring congross to lovy taxes on the public for shipbuilding. These sabsidies are variously disguised; some aro proposed uader the form of com. peusation for carrying the mail at the rate of 825 for each balf-ounce letiar, while others proposs subsidy of 30 much por ten csh for every ship builé, and eo much per ton per voaga, or 80 much per ton annually during the existence of the vessol. Thero has been introduced to the legislataro of Missouri a serios of resolations in the form of a memorial fo_congress that In the distribation of subsidies those depending upon agricul- tural _products ~ be not over. looked; and that provision be made ““to pay 10 cents for each and ovory hog raised” as a bounty to iucresse the profits of farming, and *‘encour- age and aid all who may engage In so groat a mational industry, and that the poo> laborer may thersby et cheaper bacon.” A like bounty fs atked upon calves, “that the laborer may have cheaper beef.” This liat might be extended largely, thn subsidy of half a cont per pound on cotton, two cents per bushel on corn, ten cents per bushel on wheat, five cents per bushel on potatoes and other vegetables and on all seeds, one dollar on each horas or male, five cents per poucd on tobacco and sorghum sogar, and proportionato bouniios on_ all other ferm products, —these subsidios tobe pald directly oat of the treawury.
