Wyck to the delight of Brooks,—was » gang of tricksters and monopoly henchmen with Tom Kennard at the head snd Church Howe at the tail. They floored Van Wyck by going back on their party, after being beat- en in the republican caucas, and com- bining with the democrats for a div- ision of committees and patronage. And this kind of support was given General Van Wyck from that time forward during his entire legislative career, In the campalgn that culmi- nated in General Van Wyck's elec- tion, Brooks was the svowed cham- pion of Paddock. Every line he wrote at home, or from the battle ground, was Inopposition to the major- ity of the legislature that elected Van Wyck. Not a stone was left unturned, by Brooks,” as Paddock’s principal organ grinder to prevent the cousoli- dation of the element to which Gen. Van Wych owes his election. Bat, “Presto change,” Van Wyck was elected, and Brooks flopped on his belly with loud lwudations and the lick pittle followed the general clear to Washingten, and insulted the stalwart anti-monopolist by assuming tosctas his mouthplece.

General Van Wyck like Judge Briggs 1s » man of good sense and instead of being tickled by such flattery he naturally must feel as all men do who have seen Brooks in his gyrations a contempt bordering on disgust. — TRAITOR TO OMAHA. *“The overflow of the river is to be used by the railroad organs in an arpument for another U.

When Judge Briggs was a candidate for the United States senste, four years ago he was assalled in ths mcs: bitter and vindictive terms by the, Omaha Republican. He was raked fore and aft about his politicsl record, snd denounced ss & persistent officer- secker. After the ssnatorial election Judge Briggs was importuned to sign a paperin favor of Hitchoock's appointment as consul gemeral to Paris. Hedid 5o and he was at once applauded ss ome of the most eminent and segaclous statesmen thet the whole hemisphere has ever produced. Last summer Judge Briggs ventured the opinfon that the Omsba primaries needed radical reform and went o far s to endorse the acts of the county committee in requiring registration of republicsn voters. This brought! down upon his head an avalanche of blackguardism and abuse from which he didn't even recover when he con- 8 over the meeting to * The Republican does not ses fit, at present at least, to maultiply words mpon this matter. It contents itseli wity saying plainly now that the warfare which Rosewater and his backers have remewed on any witempt which be made to se- cure an additional appropriation to maintain the river front, will, if suc- cessful, end in driving away from the dity the two largest interests of labor |and manufacture within its limits to- dsy.

Traitor aud enemy to Omaba, as I humbly oonfess myself ta_bave been, withont teial by jury, I plead in extenuation of these crimes & few trivlal benefits that have, through me, been con- ferred upon this city during a resi- dence. of more than seventeen years, Daring that period I have pald over $12,000 in taxes to tha city and coun- ty,s large portionof which went to pay the Interest on the bonds donated to the Union Pacific. As far back as 1868 Iowned the block upon which Mr. Housel's residence stsads, 0n the cor- wer of Twentisth and Bort, and I im- proved toat property by expending over 1,700 in buildings, fences, &s. Tn 1889 I purchased a lot on Farnbam stroet and erected a brick bullding thereon at a cost of nearly $13,000. That was in a year when the bottom was ap- patently sbont to fall out of Omahaand confidence was shaken in her farther growth. While others had been importing fron fronts and cut stone from abrosd, every pound of dron and foot of stene in my-building, ‘were purchased in Omahs. When Omaha was cafled on to don ate $200,- 000 for the ‘purchase of the U, P. depot gronnds, and these bonds had to be taken.at par by Omahs property owners, ‘T signed $2,000 for these bonds and-paid $200 to Augustus Kountze to take them off my hands.

When Gen, Van Wyck first assum- ed prominence in Nebraska politics, in the spring of 1876, by becoming the chairmen of the state convention at Fremont, vhe Republican abused and blackguarded the General in a style for which Brooks has such a knack.

M first treason to Omaha began when I represented Douglas county in the legislature in 1871, and started the movement for the impeschment of Governor Butler and the bresking up of a corrupt ring, whose ramifica- tlons extended to this city. It was then that I exhibited those disloyal traits that refused to blindly follow the directions of the Union Paclfic officers, who sought to gat a bill through authorizing them to fix their own tolls over a wagon bridge, which they proposed to bulld over the Mis scuri at Omaba. Tn the perversity of my disloyal matare I caused a bill to pass, which is still & law, suthori ing ths Mayor and Couacil of Omaha to fix the tolls, if such a bridge s ever erected. (Page 25, Statates of 1871.) Another act of tresson toward Oma- ba on my pact was the abolition of the costly, double headed school board and the eabstitution of the present board of education system which the Omaha Republican opgosed aud the people of Omaha ratified by a vote of ten to one, My last legislative act was even more treasonable towards Omaha when I pulled through an ap- propriation of §15,000 for the estab lishment and erection of a deaf and dumb institute in Omahs, which the state has since enlarged by additional appropriations of over $30,000, All thess treasonmable acts were insigoificaat, however, com- pared with the high treason I com- mitted when I refased to accept $500 which Thomas L. Kimball came into my office to offer me in 1875, as & slight token of affection in case I sucoeeded in induclng the county commissioners to withhold their proclamation for the narrow gauge bond election. By stubbornly de- elining to oppose the narrow gauge project, when the other papers and editors remained ioysl to the ¥, P. I forfeited thousands of thousand of dollars of patronage, and have never since beea forgiven for my treason. My enmity to Omaba was manifest- ed in many otner ways which make me liable to the same charge of high treason. For nearly ten years, be- ginning with its championship of the new constitution of 1871, which the monopolies 20 bitterly opposed, T Bee has been a stambling block and thornin the flesh to jobbers, political plunderers, impostors and common swindlers. From the dsys of Witch Ha- zel Hammond to the time of the great Holly swindle; from Stoddsrl and Macvin, who went to the penitentia- ry; to Mumey and Aldrich, who ought to have gone, Tur BrE has been a treasonable terror, and I, as its editor, have incurred the deadly hatred and hostility of the horde of scallawags, swindlers, quacke and monopoly hench- men for whom the Omaba Republican has been at all times the consistent mouth piece. Just now Iam on the eve of com- mitting another great act of treason in opposing farther donations to the Union Pacific railroad which has al- ready bulldozed and extorted over one million dollars in bonds and lands from this city. For the twentioth time Omaha is threatened with the removal of the Uaion Pacific shops if she doesn’t submit to another levy of blackmail. These highwaymen forget that they, by their own contract, have bound themselves to maintain these shops in Omaha for- r, and that the removal of these ops from this clty lays them liable to the forfeiture ot the depot grounds and even the approaches to the bridge. It in opposing such downright rob- bery of the tax-payers of this city, I have become an enomy of Omaha I am reay to take the conseuences. I have staked everything 1 own, my present prospects and my futare suc- oess on the growth and prosperity of Omaha, The labor of my best years has been expended iu building up this clty through the pa- per which is now recogn'zed as the most influential journal between the Lakes and the Rockies. My interests are identical with those of the mer. chants, manufacturers and laborers who have made Omaha thelr home, Whenever the interests of Omaha are aessiled or threstened, I am always ready to defend and uphold, but 1 never will follow in the wake of a set of mercenary rogues who hire them- selyes out for paltry pay and pat Omaha on the back while picking her pockets, who ory. down and hound down ‘every man who dares to interposs ob- stacles in the way of corporate cor- morants, that have on every occasion wiolated their sacred contracts, iram- pled on cur rights, oppressed our peo- plo and kept Omaha back, when she could to-day have been a greater com- ‘merclal contre than Kansas City.

The political economists insist that the law of supply and demand ngufitu the retources of society as perfectly and completely as the lew of gravitation controls the movements of the heavenly bodies. The rule, however, does not hold when its ope- ration has beer artificially distarbed. That the common carriers have dis- turbed the operations of the rale will be conceded, motwithstanding that railrosd mavagers with an arr of superior knowledge, continue fo quote the doctrines of the economists = axioms. As a matter of fact, frelght rates are not fixed by sclentific maxims. The developmeut of the railway system of transportation has brought out a class of so-called ex- perts, whose calling, including bigh salary, depends l(m stuating the notion that the subject of freight rates is 80 intricate a character that one not an expert is not to be expected o comprehe The system of railway management, as wohave it, has no doubt become exceedingly comolicated. The prob- lem given to the railway maguate to solve Is how toget the highest 1. to out of the traffic ascessible to Too high a rate lcses freight entirely, as the commodity. declines to move. Too low a rate discredits his akill as an expert in the showing ot the gross receipte of his road. The questisn ever in his mind is what ratewill the busigess bear. To sn- awer this question involves the know- ledge of an infinite variety and num- ber of mubjects. A_car load of one commodity of a given welght is charged two, three, and often ten times the rate that another car load moved over the same track of the same weigh is charged, and the rate for the same commodity varies with every fluctuation of the market. Countless illustrations might be picked out. Ome would sunpose that the rate for a car-load of silver orefroma given to @ glven statton would be the sam>. Not so. Ask forarate and the first question is, What is the yield per ton? Ifit be high grade ore the shipper can_af- ford high rate and_he must pay it or baul by wagon. Complaln of the rate, and ssy Smith is shioping ore at s lower rate. The aoswer is, his ore does not yleld o e quarter that yours doss. The skipper answers, I have nothing to do with that. The export tells him he does not under- stand the intricacies of rallway management, If I charge Smith full rate he willnot ship. Imusthave his freight, and to get It must chergoa te to induce shipment. You can ford to ship st the rate I offer you. As to you, then, the charge Is resson- able. ~ You ought not to ¢ mplain if I haul Smith’s low-grade oreat a rate he can ship. The only question for us to consider is this: Is your rate falr? Another familiar illustration: Ssy corn is 70 cents in New York, snd a fall crop west. A rate Is fixed that will give the westerr: farmer about 30 cents. The nextyear perhaps there maller crop west, butthe demand in New York is not so strong; the market is down to 50 cents. Last year's rate will keep the corn at home, becaase the farmer could not get more than 10 cents for his corn. Some- thing must be done. Freights must behad. Downgo the rates. The western farmer gets 20 to 25 cents for his corn. The common carrier levies for his blackmall all the diffsrence in prico. It it amusiog to note the excases experts give for these flastuations of rates. When rates are high, we hear learned disquisitions upon the costs of trans- portation. Figures that look like es of logarithms sre produced. Statistics aboat grs and carves, cost of construction, repairs, and re- vivals, idle cars, empty retura car- goes, etc., and nioce calculations to show that 1t costs a cent, or a cent and two mills, or a cent and seven and one-tenth mills (we have seen one such where the fraction had been car- ried down to .0199), per ton per mils. When the rate Is low we hear as learnedly that the freight must Le had. That the market will not stand a higher rate. We are Interested In the prosperity of our customers. We maost build up the business tributary to our line. We hear no such discussion with reference to any other business. The farmer sells his wheat, the shoem: his shoes for whatever he can get, and he would belaughed at if ho_attempt- ed to argue up the price, This modern principle upon which rates are fixed makes the carrier a partner in the profits of aninfinite varisty of busi- ness. He must be an expert, indeed. This doctrine of what the business will bear has led directiy to the con- solidation of the great lines under the management of & fow, and to the “‘posling” of the rates at competing points and to mutual understandings not to invade the *‘territory” of each other for freights. Now and then there are litilo quarrels aud short poutisg spells to be followed by closer allisnces and higher ‘rate We have at last reached this polnt that the business of the cemmon carrier is the only great industry that has carried without competition. Statesmanship stands bewildered in face of the fact. Low mutterings are heard all along the line. The producer and the consumer are pinched and suffer. Mad blows have been struck hereand there. The grangers have shown their teeth; have driven legislation through legislature after legisiature. They have knocked loudly at the doors of the supreme court, until it aoswered that the peo- ple could regulate rates. That court has thrown to the winds the whole doctrine of the vested rights to fix rates. Investigation has followod in- vestigation; volames of testimony have been printed. The monopoly 1s, mevertheless, stronger to-day than ever before. Oa the floor of the senate, the other day, it was stated that to-morrow four | men may meet in New York and tax | the people two hundred millions per aunom for their own bencfit, and there is no way to prevent it, States- men hoped, ecouomists promised, that competition would ultimately sclve the problem. Wait a little while, said they, and the laws of | trade will sssert their power. Wo havo waited until we haveseen that whatlittle of competition there was has been destroyed. We may as well admit openly and frankly that the attempt to make one railway to | compete with another railway is a | failare. It is nscless to experiment further In that directlon. For more | than & generation we have been work- | ing by this rule, and have succeeded in perfecting monopoly. Little faith need be placed in legislation simply regulating or fixing rates. Steps that have been taken are in the right direc tion. Many points of controversy have been settled thereby. But the whole systemmast beremodeled. Our notions of railway property, of rallway fran- chises, of the business of the railway corporations are all wrong. Instead of building one railway to compete with another we must create competi- tlon on the same track. This was the first idea. It was contemplated in the early charters. The idea that a rail- way company should act as common. cacrier was an afterthought. The eagerneas of localities to go the ben- efit of the highway of Iron and the speed of steam hurried us all into the race of construction. Charters were geanted carte blanche, We all re- member it. When one raad oppressed we buil: another, 1f possible with more libers] grants; as a counter-irri. tant, as yop would put s mustard plas- teron your stomach. When that falled we fixed rates by law, or we ara trylog to. There is no reason why the corpora. tlon that owns the franchiss, that constructs the highway, and that furnishes the motive power, even, should be the exclusive common carrler on the road. Charters used %o be granted to corporations to con- struct tollroads, tuenpikes, ana canals, [~ The corporation owing the franchise constructod the highway, ocollected tolls for the uso thereof, ‘and whoever traveled thereon and whoev ad & team or boat could carry for hire. A similas system may be easily bullt up and adapted to raiiroads. The experts may be expacted to sneer at such a Froponiuon. We will, however, take essons from them. We have not for- gotten the Blue lines and Red lines and White lines run by corporations whose stock was owned by and paid large dividends to directors and mana- gers acd genoral freight agents of rail- ways then hurrying into the hands of receivers.
