I Stickle, delivered at the state anti-monopoly eonvention. It is by far the ablest and most comprehensive presentment of the leading issue of the day that has been made by any public epeaker in this Oapt. Stickle is a man of culture, who has for three years been engaged in practical farming in Thayer county this state.

One of the most extennive tree plan- ters in the world is declared by the English journal Land to be the Duke of Athole. Every year, it eays, he plants from 600,000 to 1,000,000 trees. During the present seazon he has cov- ered with trees a plantation of some 2,000 acres. By tho gale which de- stroyed the Tay Bridge his planta- tions were denuded of 80,000 trees. One of the Dukes of Athole is atill known as tho Planter Duke. In the year 1874, Lis Daukeld hills were al- most entirely bare, and he began to plant on a large srcale. Before he died he had planted 27,000,000 trees, which covered 15,000 acrea, Downing etreet is aware of this and has already fortified its position by sounding Bismarck is evident from the Berlin dispatch of Tucsday, which states that ‘‘tho clozest connection is foreshadowed between England and Germany on the eastern question.” This is in the line of much that has been said before, The evidence that there is complete acoord between the two nations is not conclusive, but the probabilities are aimost strong enough der of the day. The bar'l is mightier than tho argument. to amount toa cortainty. ‘I'here are also indications that the German in- fluence at Constantinople is very powerful.

Tho presumption is that she will not venture against such f>rmida- ble odds, and that she will sit and chafo in silent wrath at the extension of her rival's power in Turkey.

The telegramy announce that Sir Garnot Wolseley, already a Knight of the Grand Cross of geveral orders, is to be raised to the peerage as a baron. Years ago, after the general’s return from the west coast of Africa, he was offered a peerage, which he declined. A Roman Oatholic himself, and heir presumptive to a very old Roman Catholic baronetcy, he preferred to take his chances of that inheritance rather than absorb an old and honored title, albeit a commoner’s, in a brand new peerage. It may be that since then the relative from whom he would have inherited has had a direct heir, in which case his consent to be made a peer is explicable. If that is not the case, Sir Garnet's ideas have changed since the day he announced that he preferred such honors as came to himn in the way of his profession to the tinsel of a new made coronet. — Tug ghost of the vetoed river and harbor bill is haunting many con- gressional candidates for nomination HONORS TO ADLER.

[Continued from First Page ] come #0 blurred that tne figures al- most defy detection, so that what the great artist had intended as a joy forever is vo longer regarded as & thing of beauty, 8o I admiro the republican party, not for what it is but for what it was, Now, Mr. President, 1 have never been in any senso a fair weather re- publican, but can illustrate my faith by my works in that party's darkest hours. More than three years, the three best years of my life, were pass- ed in the army for the suppression of the rebollion and the establishment of the supremacy of the ropublican party. My lot was cast in what is generally known as a border state, surrounded with an atmosphere taiat- ed with treason. At times 1 WAS 50 HARRASSED with social embarrasments that I feit almost like apoligizing for having commanded a company 1 tho federal army, Mr. President it & somo- thing to be a republican in those days, and I incurred not a little abuso and inconvenionce at that time. It is aggravating to hear men who heve borne all the benifits fromthe party, prate about party feeling. For my own part T no longer acknowledge any allegience to that party nor to any other that does not show some dispoaition to protect the rights of the many as againat the privileges of tha few. Now the republican party has been in power more than twenty years. Corporate power dominates the leg:a. lative executive and judicial depart- ments not only of the national govern- ment, but of every city government, and 8o controls in this union that it reudors void tho American declara- tion of independence, Who is to be held accountsble for this state of affairs if tho r.publican party isnot? T confens to sadly nced enlightment upon this question, WHAT 1S THE 1SSUR between the democratic and republi- can party? What single issue does tho republican party bring forward to- duy? How can you disticguish the democratic from the republican party? Take the republican platform adopted at Chicago in 1880, and take that adopted by tho democrats at Cincin- nati the same year, cut off the head and exchange them and it will teke a smartgr man than 1 am to tell the dif- erence, There is no vital issus eub- wisting between the two parties to-day. Slavery?—why slavery is dead and buried past all resurrection. The state rights heresy has been crushed for all time. Soctional or race domination will never be started again. Resump- tion has long been an accomplished fact. The paper dollar is worth just as many cents as the gold dollar, The long ¢fMictcd greenback now cries with the elect of heaven, ‘I know that my redeemer liveth.” (Loughter ) Now in support of my statement that there is no vital issue subsisting between the great parties of the coun- try I wish to quote some other in- stances that you will readily accopt. as authoritative. Scnator John Sherman, of Ohio, will readily be ac- septed ag A PAIR EXPONENT of orthodox high-toned republicanism, whoee private life was nb:olutolyluu pure as be without a singl: redeeming vice. He told one of the largest au diences that ever assembled in Cin- cinnati, last fall, that thero was no is- sue worthy of the nameeubsisting in American_politics, ~Ex-Senator Ben Hill, of Georgia, will be readily ac- cepted as a fair exponent of high- toned bourbon demccracy. Not a great while before his death he gave expresiion in The Atlanta Constitu- tion to the very ssme sentiment. Gaoneral Weaver, of Iowa, tu 1880, in Cooper Institute gave forcible and eloquent utterance to the same idea. David Davis, senator from the stato of Illinois, who has long been the most conspicuous figure perched uporn the independent fence, declared last year that both the democratic and republican parties were in the throes of dissolution from the abscence of any issuo to give them vitality. Then there is THE PLUMED KNIGHT from Maine, a man of unquestionable ability. Still it is diflicult to deter- mine precisely what he does represent other than James G. Blaine. Per- haps he comes as near being a factor of the party known as the jingo party in this country as Disraeli did in Kog- gland. Having long had the presi- dential bee in his bonnet, he seems willing to have the assistauce of southorn democrats and half-breed re- publicsns in the attainment of that object in the campaign of 1884, Abraham Lincoln will surely be ac- cepted as a fair representative of .(lm very best featurca of republicanism and by all odds the very best praduc- tion of manhood that” American lifo hes produced. In his insugural ad- drees March 4th 1861 he declared that twenty years wes as long as any politi cal party could be trusted with power the implication being that in that time any parcy became so rotten and 80 corrupt as to fall with its own grav- ity. Mr., Lincoln had reference, of course, to the democratic party, then the ruling power, But 1t is a poor rule that won't work both ways. BMr, Lincoln’s words were oracular and his declaration prophetic. Now, then, these are representative men o_f cxoep- tionable ability—men of fairnese— whose candid judgment must be ac- cepted, 'he republican party has exceeded its allotted time. IT HAS RUN ITS COURSE and fulflled its destiny and must now give way to new parties, ca'led to meet new issaes, Shakespere tells us, and Bob Tngersoll ssys be in the greatest mon that ever walked God's earth, that when a man's braius are out he dies. The braivs of the dem- ocratiy party were knocked out in 1860, but Bavquo-like they rise sgain with tweunty mortal ghosts to torment us. About all that can be said about the democratic party that they never did anything particular. They have never had any great potency for good or evil. It is my conviction, how- ever, that had it eliminated oue of its principles and changed its name, it '0\,!1!} have proved onu'of the most powerful sgencies against cor- rate power. 1‘hau parties have S'e)fi.nu ignored this great issue—an , that, in my solemn convie- tion is destined to give the anti- monopoly party KUPREMACY IN THIS COUNTRY; an issue not only vital to business in- terests, but I soiemnly believe vital to the personal liberty of every man, woman and child on this continent. “By their fruits ye shall know them,” was the teaching given out by the Great Master more than eighteen centuries ago, That dictum applies just an infallibly to-day as it did then, Until grapes are produced from thorns and figs from thistles, you nced not expect any righting of wrongs by any existing party. The only fruit they have borne have been dead sea fruit, fruit which turns to ashes, Mr. President, you can no more make a political party than you can make & human conscience. Ever since the three tailors of Tooley street met and resolved, ‘‘Whereas, we, the people of London, in mass meeting assembled.” All efforts at making politieal parties have proved abortive. Pacties grow spontaneously and they can r be made. Whenevera great political issue asserts iteelf parties will rise pro and con to moet that issue. THRERE 18 AN ISSUR NOW ~olear, specific, comprehensive and understood by everybody in this land. It is the sole, the dire inevitable 1ssue of the hour. Shall corporate monop- oly overshadow and dominate the pro- ductive industries of America, or shall it bo controlled by state and national reatrictive legislation? That is the is- sue and the only iesue, It is the is- sue militant and if the people of this broad land are alive to their interests they wili make the iesue trtumphant. At the bar of Jpublic opinion we. pro- pose to bring that issue to trial, Lst us for a moment look at some of the forces that have superinduced this issue. We have in the United States a railroad monopoly, express monopoly, oil refining monopoly, as- sociated press monupoly, barb wire monopoly, with a protective tariff which enables a few individuals to en- rich themselves at the expense of the maszes. Ishould weary you if T were to grapple with all the monopolies. Weare the most monopoly ridden people, ard will patiently submit to more humbug and more encroach- ments on our right than any other peoplo on the face of this green earth, Che cost of American railroade, roughly estimated, 18 two thousand willions of dollars, capitalized at four thousand millions. It is a sum =0 enormous, 8o stupendous, that 1t dazes the human mind. No finite mind, no genius FROM PROMETHEUS TO JAY GOULD, can grasp it. If you were to count it out and pile it before you, you would only have a faint idea of its magni- tuds, Cost is the basis of value, and the intrinsic worth of anything is said to be the cost of the material and the labor requisite, The stamp, if placed upon the dollar by the guvernment, does not make that piece of metal worth a dollar because it contains 28 0 20 grains of gold, but becausa it required a dollar’s worth of labor and material to produce that dollar, Ravertihg to the railroad, with an en- tine line, costing two thousand mil lion dollars and capitalized at four thousand millions, two thousand mil- lions must be pure water. Railroad magnetes have a habit of calling it four thousand millions of concentra- ted capital. If they have concen- trated two thousand millions of water with that capital, it is CRYSTALISED GRAND LARCENY, But it would be very little moment to us how much watering they did if they did not compel us to pay ten per cent on four thousand millions, in order that they may declarea full stock dividend. By this process they are just robbing us of two hundred milliors annually, and the productive industries are taxed by the railroads this amount in excess of what they should bear. There is no ironarchi- cal government in Europe that would dare to levy such a direct tax without fear of a revolution, Will anybody tell us that the ques- tion of corporate monopoly is not im- portant enough to make it the great issue of the day? Why, the tax on the tea America imported from Great Britain before the revolution DWINDLES INTO INSIGNIFICANCE when compared with this most out- rageons tax; and the infliction of this tax involves the very issue upon which the war of the revolation was faught, namely, taxation without representa- tion, If we are to be taxed we muat and will have & voice in fixing the rata of taxation, That peinciple was main- tained by our forefather's blood. When Boss Tweed was charged with the monstrous robberies of the people of the city of New York he asked, “What aro you going to do about it?’ Boss Tweed felt secure in the thought that he . was stronger than the great city of New York. The railway robbers feel secure in the thought that they are strorger than the people, but we must clearly show them what we are going to do about it, 'We have DECISION AFTER DECISION of the highest courts in the land that both national and state legislature should control the freight and passen. ger rates. This is the past interpreta- {ion by the supreme court in tho cele- brated granger cases, The coustitu. tion of Nebraska says that the logis- lature shall enact laws to prevent ex- tartion in charges made by railway, express and telegraph companies. ‘Lhe organic law of _this state, fortun- atoly for us, concedes to the legisla- ture NO DISCRETION in the terms, but is mandatory upon it to enact restrictive laws, The con- struction of railroads is a pubiic and not & private concern. The charter is rranted the railrords for a specific <o and therighis of eminent do main are also conceded for a purpose, and whenever that ter is 80 abused as to work against the citi- zons the swate may annul that charfer, and recall the right, or, in other words, she may take complote and entire possession of the road and dis- pose of its road title, Now this law is so well settled by repeated decisions by the higher courts in the land that the innumer- able instances of discrimination is not ouly robbing the citizens, but is an in- sult to his intelligence, and a re- flection upon the law. 4 These railroad managers with their four thousand million capital, two thousand millions which is crystalised grand larcensy, are not only able to retain the ablest logal advisers, but to mould legislation and the interprets- tlon of it to their own will. For proof Irefer yon to Mr. Vanderbilt who boasted that they have the LEGISLATURES AND COURTS on their side and pay for their law by the year. Frankness and candor is always to be admired, but I ask any man if the time has not about arrived when the question of corporate monopoly should not be ela- vated to the plane of a political issus I venture to recall an incident that oceurred in the supreme court of tho state of Penneylvania, and I am always compelled to grind my teeth to restrain a breach of the third com- mandment whenever I think of this piece of moral obliquity. A little over a year ago the leading attorney of the great Ponnsylvania railtoud rose in his seat, and polut- ing hia index finger at the judge. atened the court with the d pleacure of his clients if ho dared tc rule agwinst thom, O, rhame where ia thy blush. (Crios from audionce shame, shame) Was 1t not monstrous! It was an insult to law, an iusult to decency, itwas an insult to the great commonwealth,and an insult to every man, woman and child that lives bencath the starry flag. It was an ioeult to every man’s instinctive respect for the majesty os the law. As an instance of stupendous stock watering I want to call your attention to Mr. Jay Gould’s peculiar business methods. The New York & New Eogland railvoad had issued their stock at $20,000 per mile, and of course upon that capitalists had been dealing, He watered that with £40,600 move, giving it. a capitalization of $60,000 per mile, upon which patrons of the line had to pay freight and passonger charges to pay 10 per cent dividends fair minded man knows that the charge is groundless as the bascless fabric of a vision, 8hould the time come when people should rise higher than the law and take the redreseing of their wrongs into their own hands, they will have the very highest republican suthority this nation has produced for doing #o. About 1868 William H, Seward, who wae, facilis princeps, the heart snd brain of the republican party, and from his seat at the head of the United States senate, roclaimed concerning the famous or infamous Dred Sejtt decision, that there was A MIGHER LAW than the written law of the Iand. The implication was that public sentiment would justify the violont resistance to the enforcement of the fogitive slaye Jaw under which eomo of tho most horrible atrocities had heen committed upon r oud women, T¢ was in effect & declaration that no nation wis g0 yreat that 1t can afford tr fly with that which makes ita grestiess The New York Times, the leacing republican newspa of Awmcrien, always conservaiive, and mever in any senre an alarmist, told its readers the other day if something was not done to curbh the greed of ccr- porate monopoly thero will at no dis- tant day rise up a force that would shake the vory foundations of our gov- ernmental fabrie, when, as Lord By- ron said, men ‘‘get drunk on blood to vomit crime.” Mr., President, in conclusion T sim- ply ask, is thero anything wrong or wexpedient in elavating the question of corporate menopoly to the plane of an issue of American politics, ','“Halpy‘nurlo and others will help you.” But don’t fail to use on that sum. The New York stock | Kidacy Wort for ell hiver, kidney and exchange is not nuted for itasensitive- ness, but it rebelled agaizst this scheme of grand larceny and refused to place this stock on its lists. Mr. Gould at once gave ont rumors he proposed to establish a stock ex- change of his own, aud in a few days | he successfully bulldozed that great New York stock exchange in placing his New England reilroad etock on the list, Physically Mr. Gould is a very small map, but hois a COLOSSUS IN WAYS THAT ARE DARK, |: and when lion skins fall ehort he ekes it out with fox, For more than three years Mr. Gould tried by every means honorable and otherwise, but chicfly otherwise, to get possession of the Dsuver & Rio Grande railway. First by legitimately R purchasing tho controlling interests of it3 stock. Next he tried to black- mail, by charging malfeasance in the office of the treasurer of that road. Failing in both of these waye, he next tried bribery. Mr. Richardson, who was auditor of that rond, received a telegram signed **Jay," submitting a proposition for him to make sffidavit that there had been irregularities and forward them to ‘““Jay,” and the oftice of second auditor of the United States treasury would be at his dispesal. Now, Mr. Richardson happens to be an honest man, and, like most honest men, slow to believo dishonesty in others, He wired Jay Gould the question wlether the telegram signed ‘‘Jay” was his. Quick as lightning flashed the answer, **Yes,” and signed Jay Gould. Was not that rather neat? This man has not only control of most of the lines of railway, but he has the disposing of the patronage of the na- tion as well. I ask, if the timo has not arrived for us to recognize corporate moncpoly as au isaue in American politics.
