THE queen's speesh took less than ten minates in its delivery and oocu- pled about a half a column in the papers. There are some things in an effote monarohy which republican presidents and governors might copy to the public advantage. Tre people of Nebraska demand at the hands of the leglslature some re- Mef from the outrageous impositions to which they have for years been sub- jected by the rallroads. The only re- sponse the legislature has so far made to this demand is the people be d—d, —— Tax lower house of the legislatara is smply adding insult to Injury by oreatiug a costly railroad commission and placing no limit upon the extor. tions of therallroad monapolies. The poople of Nebraska can better afford to go without railroad legislatien than to be taxed $12,000 for an ornamen- tal commission, —_——— Tag river aud harbor bill as report- ed to the house calls for an appropria- tlon of 8,937,000, of which $1,600, 000 is for the Misslasippl, and $350,- 000 for the Missourl river. Seven millions is less objeotlonable than nineteen mlillions; bat of that amount more ihan one half will bo wasted. The fact is that the necessities of the Misslselssippl ave used to drag through & hoat of jobs, WaEN he left Nebraska a faw weeks ago Ssnator Saunders jold a reporter that he was hurrying back to vote for tariffl reductiun. Since his return to house ? If you do, woe be unto every man who records his vote for it when he comes home to facehis constituents. Far better that you adjourn without passing a singlo rallroad bill than to atiempt such a monstrous imposition. The people may submit to extor- tlon two years longer, but they will ressnt wuch wicked mockery. There 18 not a redeeming feature in that bill, but on the contrary it adds over $12,- 000 to the burdens of the taxpayers. But Mr. Peter Shelby, of the Union Paoifio, tells you blandly that his road will be rained if you pass any bill that will lmit passenger rates to three cents & mile and cats down the local frelght rates twenty per cent. Mr, Shelby s simply trylng a game of bloff on you. He knows that the Union Pacific could dispense with all the local treffic in Nebraska and sur: vive without cutting down dividends one per cent, ‘Why does Mr, Bhelby come before you now with such palaver, and why did not he and the managers of his road furnish you the information you asked for through your investigating oommittee. Why did they refuse to tell you about the extravagant salaries to officers, and why can’t they reduce expenses by dismissing a lot of super- numeraries whodraw thousands ofdol- lara for political purposes out of the earnings which are exscted in high tolls from the people? Will you listen to the volce of monopoly henchmen while you are deaf to the outery of the tolling farmer and industrious mer- chant! Will you become recreant to your trust at the beck of men who are trylng to uphold the systematic rob. bertes that impoverlsh the many while they enrich the fow? E— Tue outlook for trade iano brighter, to say, the least, than it was a month ago. The number of failures reported durlng the past two weeks issomewhat leas, but the aggregate more in amount than for the preceding fortnight. Nows from the great trade centers con- tinues depressing. Wholesale mer- chants and jobbers report unusually light orders for this season, and a great pressure for extended credits from small buyers.

The confeeslon of Montford O, Rerdell, one of the ring contractors, and forwerly private secretary to Stephen W. Dorsey, forges the last link in the chaln of evidence noecessary to con- , victlon and paves the way to a speedy conclusion of the oase. Rerdell im plicates all the guilty partios and es— peclally Dorsey and Brady and tells in detall the steps by which this gi- gantlo conspiracy against the trossury department was conducted, Added shows a decline of from 16 to 20 per oent from last year's quotations. The Ohlo floods have destroyed, at lasy reports, over twenty millions’ worth of property, and the damege the railroads will mount fnto the hundreds of thousands. This adds a new disturbing and depressing element to trade, The grain and provision markets showevidences of anupward tendency, " although 1t is not yet strongly marked. Wheat and corn in store is decreasing at Interior points, and unless large blooks are soon thrown upon the market tho speculative de- to the mass of new evidence which the mand for theso commodities must government had accumulated, Rer. dell's testimony makes a conclusive enhance their prices. Saveral of the leading oastern papers malntaln that case on the part of the government the general holding back of thelr corn and & prompt conviotion, if the jury has not been a second time fixed, may be expected to follow. Bat no new by the western farmers, will prove & loosing tnvestment, when the interest paid for borrowed money 1s deducted Seatimony was needed to convinoe the from the profits, This opinion s not, publie of the orlminality of the gang of robbers now on irlal in Washington, The evidence in the first trials was so overwhelming that nothing but bare- faced corruptions ocovld have suc. oseded in defeating justice, The pol- oy of the defense from the start has shown the conviction of thelr attor- neys that the only hope for the escape * of Dorsey’s gang lay in taking advan- tage of some technloality or in tiring however, generally shared by financial editors throughout the country, Mean- while congress by its delay In reducing taxation, has added to the general un- certainty, With high prices, low wages and thousands of men out of employment, a policy of delay {s crim- inal.

With lesssble| Tux lobbles at Washington are government counsel the attempt might dolng more work just at present have than the two houses of congress. FINANCIAL CRANKS The financial cranks are not all dead yet, There Is a paper In Ham- ilton county In our state that still howls about the terrible results of placing our enrrency on & coln basis, According to this paper the interest bearing national debt on January 1st, 1883, Is about the same as it was in 1866, On July 1st, 1866, the na- tional debl was $2,680,647,860 74. On Jaly 1st, 1866, when the highest range of the pablic debt was reached, it aggregated 2,773,236,173 69, On Febrouary lst, 1883, the debt was $1,002,633,634, These amounts rep- resent the debt as including legal tender currency, gold and silver cer. tificates and the bonded in. debtedness of the Pacific rall. roads, which, with acoumulated in- interest, amounts to $122,000,000, The interest bearlng debt on the st of February was about $1,370,000, 000, the $600,000,000 additional bear- ing no Interest. In other words since 1866 we have reduced the outstanding principal of our national debt $870,- | soci 702,809 69 or nearly one-third. In the same time we have decreased our onnual interest charge from $160,977,607 in 18656 to 875,- 018,695 in 1881 and loss than $50,000,000 at this day, or a re. ductlon since 1865 to $100,000,000 yoar In the annual interest charge on the debt. These figures show con- clusively that the national debt has been considerably reduced. Thisrapld rate of reductlon was doubtless beneficlal in bringing the credit of the country to the highest standard of any natlon on the globe. But now, when we can borrow atthree per cent., it Is a suicidsl policy to tax the people of this generation at the rate of $13,000,000 a month to pay off the national debt when overy farmer and every business man has to pay from seven to ten per cent. which through the government they oan borrow at three. Let us illustrate, The average debt of every man,woman and ohild in this country is $30. Sup- pose that it was to be optional with every person fn the United States | b: to pay his thirty dollars at once or pay 90 cents a year in taxes for inter- est. Would it not be more econom- ical to pay the 90 cents a year than to pay the $30, which, at 10 per cent, would earn for each person $37 It s simply stupid for one-idea cranks,,who imagine that the oountry is going to hades because the national banks draw 814,000,000 a year on their bonds, to insist that we should pay the entire debt now and bankrupt the connjry by oppressive taxation in or- dor that the banks should be wiped out. In other words, these cranks would rather have us pay thirty dollars for each man, woman and child in order to wipe out the national debt than to pay twenty cents a year as their share of the interest on the bonds which the national banks hold, This would be economy With a vengance. In the minds of these cranks the taxes levied by the rallroad monopolies are nothing when compared with the $14,000,000 of interest on national bauk bonds held to secure circulation, As a matter of fact the gross earnings which represents the tax upon Ameri- oan Industry, of the railroads of thia ocountry are about $1,000,000,000 per annum, and the amount of tax upon the people after deducting the interest upon the actual cspital invested and the legitimate operatingexpenses are over $200,000,000 a year, which is five times as much as we pay in inter- est on the whole national debt, and more than fourteen times as much as 1s drawn by the national banks in in. terest on their bonds. This paper is decldedly opposed to any policy that would take away from the people the use of the money which is now at their disposal at 3 per ocent, in the shape of a national debr, and compel them to borrow by private loan at usurious rates of in- terest to pay off the debt. Every man of common sense must see that the present high rate of taxation mposed by the national government for the purpose of rapldly paying off the national debt, is the main cause of the hard times 40d depression in busi. ness ‘all over the country. Right here in Nebraska, and all through the weost, farmors are paying 2 per cent a month to hold their grain, and others are mortgaged head over heels, while the secretary of the treasury complains that the surplus at' Washington 1s so bulky that new vaults must be built for its storage, unless more bonds can be redeemed . A pEriTION 8 in clrculation sigaed by nearly all the membera of the Doug- las county bar which requests Gover- nor Dawes to appoint Judge Wakeley to the additional judgeship in this dis- trict, created by the bill now pending in the legislature, It any bradch of our government ought to be conducted without partizanship, it is the judiclary.
