United States government. It you belleve that the income tax Is just, {f you belleve that It ought to be retained as a part of the | tax gystem of our government, then you Bave the right to ask why the republican | party in its platform has not even considered this tmportant question UNION PACIFIC ““There is another question in which our | people have a direct and vital Interest. 1 refer to the indebtedness of ths Pacific rail- | roads to the United States ‘government, I | am surprised that the republican platform was sflent upon this most Important ques ton. 1 need not recall the history of these great enterprises, undertaken when people be- HNeved they were almost too gigantie to be accomplish:d; but, by the help of the general government, these roads were constructed | from the Missourl river across half the conti- nent to the Pacific const. One of the con- | ditions imposed by congress in granting aid | 1o these roads was that the capital stoc should be pald up in full. Another was that a certain proportion of the net earnings should be set aside for the reimbursement the government for the aid oxtended to ther ‘The Pacific roads made no attempt to comply with these conditions. The capital stock was never pald up in full, and from time to time the stockholders have voted large divi dends to themselves, Instead of attempting to repay to the United States treasury the money with which the roads had been largely constructed Let us see how the indebled- ness of these roads to the government has grown. In 1885 the ind btedness of the Paclfic roads to the government had reached the enormous proportions of $108,000,000. In 1890 the amount had fncreased to $128,000,- 000, and in 1894, on October 1, the amount was $138,000,000. These 10ads owe more to the government today, by $30,000,000, than they did in 1885, and yet they have paid dividends to the amount of $63,000,000, “I believe In the forclosure of the gov- ernment's mortgage upon the Pacific rail- roads, and it I am elected there will be no extenslon of this indebtedness, so far as I can prevent, but, on the contrary, I shail do all I can to bring about foreclosure on the very first hour of the first day of the session. 1 will say candidly that I doubt if the foreclcsure of the government's mort- &age will bring to the people a single dollar. But If you extend the loan, from whoin will the government eventually collect the money? Why, from the people. If I employ an agent to collect a sum of money from a debtor, and that agent after collecting the money places it In his pocket and embezzles It, who stands the loss, the man who pays it to the agent or myself? Naturally, I will be vompelied to stand the loss. Would there be any justice In a Jaw which would make the man who had paid the money to my authorized agent pay the amount over again? ‘Whose agent Is the Pacific_railroad? Tk agent of the government. The road has al roady collected from the people along its lina sufficient to pay the indebledness to the government. Shall we now authorize this road to collect this indebtedness from the people along the line again? I deny the Justice of the proposition of the government to let the road collcet the whole amount all over again, and I desire to express it as my opinion that if the government makes an extension of the time for Aifty years that the roads will owe the government more than they do now, with no brighter pros- pect that the indebtedness will be paid at the end of the time.” ON THE CIRCULATING MEDIUM. Mr. Bryan devoted the latter part of his opening hour of the debate to an elaborate discussion of his views on the silver ques- tion, outlining his positon and giving his reasons for his faith In the efficacy of the white metal to restore the health of the industrial and commercial world. He sald in part: “I wish now to briefly refer to one question before passing to the silver issue. That Is the question of the issue of our prisent paper currency. The republican party (s silent upon the question. Our platform has stated our position in no uncertain words. I wish to ask my republican friend to tell why his platform is silent on this important ques- tlon, and to ask him what he will do when he is elected United States senator, as he hopes to be. [ endorse every word my platform says upon this subject. = It declares that the right to issue money is an attribute of sover- eignty. It I am elected United States sena- M. there shall never be another national ‘bank It my vote can prevent It. There are two grave objections to having the eurrency issued by privale corporations. The first is that the national banker is enabled to use 90 per cent'of his capital, and, at the same time, draw interest from the government upon the whole of it. Again, it places the control of the volume of currency in the hands of private parties. Now, the value of & dollar depends entirely upon the numbers of that dollar in circulation, and it we give the control of the volume of the currency to these private individuals, we give them the control of the value of every dollar in circu- Jation. There is no trust or combination to- day 80 great or so powerful as the money trust, and I pledge you that I will live up to my platform and not vote to put the controf of any part of the national currency into th Nands of private corporations of any charac ter, whatsoever, “1 ask my friend bere to tell you whether he will supplement his party platform. 1 ask him to tell you what he will do in re- gard to this matter. Wil he tell you, or ‘Will he let you guess? CONCERNING FREE COINAGE. “Now, I have but twenty minutes left in which to discuss another very important question. My platform reads: ‘We favor the immediate restoration of the free and unlim- ited colnage of gold and silver at the present ratio of 16 to 1,,without waiting for the aid consent of any other nation on earth.’ Groat and pfolonged applause from the demo- orats.) Here is the republican plank: ‘The republican party demonds tho use of both gold and silver as standard money, with such restrictions and under such provisions, to be determined by legislation, as will se- oure the maintenance of the parity of values of the two metals’ (Prolonged applause and cheering from the republicans.) “Now, I want my opponent to tell you what that means. (Cries ol “He will do it and cheers from the republicans.) 'You are confident that he will do it? Re- newed cheering.) In the platform which he sald he would make if he had been called up- on he did not endorse this plank. He de- clared for the free coinage of the American product. His plank is not in the state platform. It was not in the national plat- form. Now, I want to say to you that men who stood upon that Minneapolis platform went down to congress and voted for the re- peal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman #ct. They voted against free qoinage at the ratio of 16 to 1 or at any other ratio, ‘Wo believe in the treatment of gold and silver exactly alike. But. somebody says that it we admit the silver free from all the world the mints and the United States would be flooded with forelgn silver. If that er- tion fs made this afterncon 1 shall demand & bill of particulars. I want to know where the foreign silver will come from.

It means that the amount of money in circulation will be decreased by more than $1,000,000,000, It means an increase in the debts of the world and a decrease in the over, I ask my friend if this nation can af- ford to bring these great consequences upon the world. The money question is not con- fined to the United States. It touches every individual and follows him from the cradle | to the gra: It is as broad as humanity. “If you favor the re-establishment of bl metalism in this country you must re-establish it through people who favor it. To restore bl metalism we must first restore ourselves. We can’t wait for any other nation n earth, The worst that can come by acting alone s Infinitely better than our present condition.” FEELINGS POPULARLY EXPRESSED, Mr. Bryan's close was greeted with ap- plause and cheers he sat down while nearly every Jemocrat in the audience was yelling himself hoarse with approval. In tho midst of this din John Maul of Lincol: arose and introduced Hon. John M. Thurston, Thoe applause which greeted the distinguished republican from Omaha was more than a mere tribute of welcome. It was an ovation such as has seldom been accorded to a public speaker in Nebraska. It exceeded in its fervor the demonstration given to Governor MoKinley upon the occasion of his recent visit to Nebraska, and it was several min- utes belore the speaker could proceed. In opening his debate Mr. Thurston said: “Ladies and Gentlemen: I must beg your indulgence for the condition of my voice. But I can assure you that it has the true republican proclivities, for the longer it is used the better it gets. I am here by invita- tion to discuss in joint debate the issues between the democratic and republican par- ties, and I do not propose to be switched off into a discussion of the personal ambitions of any candidate for office. Neither the soft-shell democrats nor the hard-shell pops will have anything to say about the election of the next United States senator from braska. (Applause from the republicans.) The next senator from Nebraska will be selected from the councils of the republican party. (Renewed applause from republicans.) 1 do not care what his name is. The repub- lican ‘party has twenty men within its ranks that are in every way qualified to ably repre- sent the state in the senate. As for me, I have no wish, no hope, no ambition that is not first, last and all the time for the re- publican’ party and its eternal prineiples, As for me, I would rather go down into the ocean of irretrievable disaster than to ride into a safe political haven under a flag of expediency or under tho banner of a dema- gogue. (Cheors.) “Thera is a difference in the manner in which the people of the United States regard party platforms. The people of this country have long since learned to expect and be- lieve that the republicans will crystalize thelr platforms into legislation. Every plank in the republican platforms of the past has been Impressed upon our constitutional amendments and upon our statute books. No one expects anything from a democratic platform. They are looked upon merely as expedients upon which men hope to ride into political office, HIS STAND ON THE INCOME TAX. “I have beén asked by my friend hore what the republican party proposes to do about the income tax. I desire to say to him in re- ply that the people of this country are not 0 much interested in the ineomes of the rich as they are interested in securing, in some manner, incomes for the poor. (Applause.) The prosperity of the United States does not depend upon the miserable pittance of tax that may bo extracted from the pockets of the rich, but upon the gemeral incomes of tho great mass of American workingmen of the United States. The republican party, when it comes into power, will see to it that workingmen will have places where they may earn the little incomes that go to make up the prosperity of the nation, ““The democratic party once made It neces- sary for the government to impose an income tax in order to raise sufficient funds with which 10 put down the rebellion. At that time every republican who voted for that tax was assailed by the democratic party as an enemy to prosperity. The dem- ocratic press denounced the income tax as unjustifiable, and today David B. HIll, the greatest democrat in the United States, de- nounces that tax as eloqueirtly as my young friend here urges its maintenance. It is a little singular that within eightcen months after the democratic party came into power it was compelled to resort to the income tax in order to pay the expenses of the govern- ment. Speaking for the republican party, insofar as 1 am able, 1 will say that that party proposes, when it is returned to power, to place upon’ the statuto books a law im-. Posing a protective tariff upon foreign made £00ds for the benefit of American labor, and up to the present time in the history of our Kovernment a protictive tariff has been suf- ficient to maintain prosperity without the re- sort to the income tax. The Mmcome to is all well enough when the government can collect rovenue in no other way. But the protective tariff will make an income tax absolutely unimportant in this country. THURSTON AND THE UNION PACIFIC. “My friend on the other side has chal- lenged me to a discussion of the question of the foreclosure of the mortgage held by the government against the Union Pacifie roads. He has not alluded to the fact that I am employed by that road, but he has done 0 at other places. I want to answer him now, for I cannot follow him all through his campaign. I came to Nebraska twenty- five years ago, a_young man, penniless and unacquainted. Whatever I am, I have made myselt. 1 am proud of the fact that after seventeen years of tofl T was selected un- solicited to take the head of the law de- partment of the Union Pacific rallway. I am proud of the fact that when one year ago that road passed into the hands of five re- celvers—two of them republicans and three of them democrats—appointed by the attor- ney general of the present administration, 1 was selected as counsel for the government and the circuit court. Since that time I have not been in the employ of any railroad com- pany on earth, When I die I want to leave it as a legacy to my boy that his father was true to his clients, whether his faith- fulness to their interests made him popular or not; and If the people of this state select mo for their servant I will bring to the po- sition all the loyalty I have ever shown to my clients in the past. (Applause from the republicans.) “Mr. Bryan has read from a minority re- port submitted to the senate by Governor Pattison, who declares that foreclosure of the Union Pacific mortgage would not bring a single dollar to the peopls of the United States. Mr. Bryan admits to you that the holders of the first mortgage would take the road, and he has the assurance to urge that tho government givo up the only {nterest in these roads it has. Grover Cley nd, who was president of the United States when that report was made, urged in a message to con- gress the passage of a law that would secure to the United States the debt owing Lo it by the Pacific roads. The present attorney general has made the same recommendation Doth democratic committees in the house and senate have declared in favor of gather- ing the assets of the Paciflc roads and to collect from the fragments at least a portion of the money due the government. I there- fore take it for granted that W. J. Bryan stands alone In his position, and that he would therefore have no vok in the settle. ment o the question if his party remains in power. Speaking for myself, 1 declare to you that It T ever stand in the senate as a representative of this people I will endeavor values of the world | | profit in the system. has ever seen. Today our national banks have only a 244 or & per cent bond to secure 90 per cent of their ciroulation, and of that they are compélled to pay 1 per cert tax on their cireulation, and today a national bank rote can stand beside a gold dollar In any commerclal mart of the world without fear of repudiation. [ need not call your atten- ton to the fact that In the last ten years national bank ciréulation has materially de- reased. s proof that there is no undue For, It any unfair ad- vantage of profit acerued to the national banker, the number of such banks would in- crease instead of diminish BRYAN GREAT IN ONE THING. “‘My eloquent friend Is truly great upon one proposition, and that Is his advocacy of the free and unlimited coinage of silver.. He is great upon this question, because it requires greatness for a man to carry with him a people who have been hampered by prejudice of centuries. My friend Bryan is also the friend of the workingman, and he stands here today and tells them that demonctiza tion of silver has increased the value of every gold dollar in existence, 1 don't know how ich he pretends this increase amounts to He has never told us. But a distinguished co-laborer of his from Texas, a man known as Cyclone Davis, has come all the way to Nebraska to tell us. It was necessary to lmport a statesman from Texas—that home of the tarantula, the land of the cactus and the coyote, the paradise of the train robber, the country where the Infant child is suckled, not at the breast of its mother, but at the muzzle of a 44-caliber, self-cocking revolyer. (Storm of hisses from democratic side, con- tnuing for some time.) Cyclone Davis tells us that the value of every gold dollar has been doubled by the demonitization of sil- ver. (A volce from the audience, “That's right.’) “Was it a workingman (Crles of ‘Yes," ‘No.') “It it was, then I want to tell him that the wages of that workingman have been doubled by the demonetization of silver, be- cause every day's labor in the United States since 1878 has been pald for In gold doilars. Whether he was paid in gold, silyer or paper, the workingman has been able to tako his dollar to the nearest bank and ex- change It for a gold dollar, without deprecia- tion or charge for exchange, “Was It a farmer that said that? Then T want to tell him that at the end of Ben Harrison’s administration, if ho got 70 cents & bushel for his wheat, he really got $1.40 for it, because he was paid in gold coin or its perfect equal. do not wonder they seck to find some method of convincing the farmer that the depreciation of the price of wheat was due to something else besides the success of the democratic party. The fact is that the pros-. pect of the return of democratic principles closed the doors of American industry and brought down the price of American wheat, My friends, it was not the demonetization of sliver that struck down the price of wheat It was the withdrawal of the genius of re- publican legislation. “My friend on the other side only differs with the republican pgrty ¥ one particular. The republican party stands for bimetallism in this country just to the point where one dollar is as good as any other dollar. My friend stands for the free and unlimited coinage of silver without regard to the parity of the two metals, MONEY AS AN ETHICAL PROPOSITION. “What is money? Money is & standard of value. I once saw a gold coin that had been dug from the caticombs .of Rome, where it had been buried beneath the dust of oentu- ries, Upon its face it bora the lmpress of Caesar. * Since that coin_had been laid there imperial Rome, that saton the cternal hills and ruled the world, had crumbled to decay. Her legions were dispersed, and were to be found only in the dust of her palaces, and her triumphal arches had been buried in th ruins of antiquity. Her power was gone, and her language dead and unspoken of mankind; but that gold coin today, with its impress of Caesar, will circulate in every mart in the world, just as it did on the day when Rome was in her glory and Caesar was crowned of men.” (Applause.) Here Mr. Thurston praduced two Mexican silver dollars, and holding them up in view of the audience, he said: ““Hore are two pleces of money, represent- ing in their own country $1 each, which 1 stepped into @ bank and purchased for 50 cents apiece. Both bear the stamp of the eagle, but the eagle 1s not the bird of free- dom. Inthe United States our silver dollar contains 412 grains. In the Mexican dollar there are 417% grains, but I bought two,of the Mexican dollars ‘for one American dollar. How could 1 do it? Because the republican party, which had in fourteen years of repub- lican ‘legislation coined and cireulated sixty times as many silver dollars as had been coined from the birth of Christ down to the demonetization, had made every one of those dollars the equal of any dollar on earth (great applause from. the republicans), and just so0 lonp as our government shall legls- late so that the poor man's dollar will buy as much as the rich man's, just so long will a dollar of the United Stafes buy two Mexi- can dollars. (Applause.) “What does free and unlimited colnage of silver mean? It means that any man who has a Mexican dollar can bring it across the line, take it to the United States . mint, change the stamp on its face and get for it a gold dollar, whereas he can now get for it only 50 cents. In every country on the globe where you find free coinage you find that Wheat is cheaper and that men are cheaper. In the two great free coinage nations on carth what do we find? China has free coinage of silver, afid statistics show that every dollar of gold has been drained from China and that country is upon a silver basis today. Mexico has free coinage and you can- not find in the City of Mexico today a gold dollar unless you purchase it from a money loaner and give him two Mexican silver dol- lars for it Lot mo give a word of advice, to be remembered in the days to come. Don't issue a dollar of any kind unless that dollar can be put into the pockets of the working- man with just as many cents in it as in the dollar that goes into the pockets of the millionaire. Our proposition 1s, let the United States take care of its own gold and silver, and let other nations take care of themselves. We are mot interested In their condition. But if prosperity comes merely from the number of dollars in circulation, I have a better scheme for the inflatton of the currency than that proposed by my friend Bryan. Our mountains are full of silyer. Let the government appoint a scientific com- mission and measure the silver in_the veins. t's there on deposit. Then let the government take the whole job lot just as It stands and issue silver certificates against the mountains. (Laughter and applause from the republicans.) LACK OF MONEY NOT THE TROUBLE. ‘The republican party says to the man who contribute nothing to the support of this government: This country Is under the pro- tection of the stars and stripes, and the re- publican party will see to it that the Amgri- can workshop, the American foresi, the American farm and the American mine is protected against the pauper labor of any country on earth. The trouble is not the lack o money, but the lack of opportunity. When once more the republican party comes into power it will put money in circulation—not by opening the mmts of the United States to the mines of the world, but by opening the doors of American factories to the brawn and muscle of labor. It is not necessary that the eloquence of man should be invoked for the republican party. We have the eloquence of smokeless chimneys, closed factories, idle men and hungry children to speak for the party. It proposes to put fires beneath those smokeless chimneys, open the doors of those factories, put light (n those desolate cottages, food in the mouths of those hungry children. who said that? highway of a natlons glory and to & future of & people’s hife. ™~ MR. BRYAN'S REJOINDER, At the conclusion of Mr. Thurston's address there was a roar of applause from the im- mense audience, in the midst of which C. J. Smyth fntroduced Mr. Bryan for his closing speech. He was recelved with an ovation, and in answering his opponent’s arguments | said in part: | Give me your attentlon, my 'friends, 1| want to use the twenty minutes and then you can use all the time you want wards.

Those men whose political convictions have been sufficlent to bar them out of place and power in Ne- braska are not going to kneel now to the people who have persecuted them for thirty years without cause. My friend reminds me in what he has said of the man who went into Delmonico's to. sell some frog He said to the mandger: ‘Do you buy frog legs? ‘We do,’ the manager replied. ‘Wil you take what 1 have to sell?” ‘Yes, sir. ‘Well, T will bring a good many.’ ‘Bring all you have. ‘I think 1 will have a car- load.' ‘We will take them.' ‘Maybe I will two carloads.’ ‘We will take two carloads.’ S0 he went out, and the next day he came In with eight frox legs on a string and handed them in. ‘Well, the manager sald, ‘where are your two carloads? “The frog catcher replied ‘When I went through the swamp yesterday I thought there were two carloads, but when I went after them I couldn't find but four frogs.' (Laughter and applause.) My friends, you go through the republican swamp this year—and it is all swamp, my friends, that you will have to go through if you go through the republican grounds—you go through the republican swamp, and you hear them croaking and you think there are lots of them, but you can't bring In eight frogs' legs in November. JUST A LITTLE PERSONAL. “My friends, glve me my time. I want it all. My friend has sald that it s betler to ride Into harbor on republican principles than 6 win by being a demagogue. If ho means to apply that term to me, I assume what- ever responsibility there is in it, but it these latter days they call him a statesman whose ear Is turned (o catch the slightest pulsa- tion of a pockethook, but he is a demagogue who dares to listen to the heartbeat of humanity. “My friend refers to the former income tax and said they needed it to put down the rebellion. 1 did think we might have one debate without hearing of the rebel- lion. You stop a republican with argu- ment, and the first thing ho goes back to is the rebellion. I was born in 1860, too late to show my loyalty to my country on the battlefield, but I love my country and my fellow man as woll as any man who carried a musket from ‘60 to '64, and 1 will g0 as far today to bring freedom to the white race of the United States as the sol- diers went to bring freedom to the colored race. My friend has said that he is op- posed to the income tax, and he says that ~Mr. Hill .was opposed to it. He was opposed to it, and so were our northern democrats, and o wero all the re- publicans, except a few. But, my 'riends, when I come to vote on these questions David B. Hill does not cast my vote.

Yes, but there is one point on which I differ from my ‘iriend. When his platform says anything then he believes it because his platform says it. I never have believed a thing that I did not think was truc siply because a platform said it. I repudiated that plank in the plat- form when I came before the people of Ne- braska two years ago. I told them that if I was elected I would vote against taking the tax off the state banks, and I voted and spoke against taking the tax off the state banks. Why did 1 do !that? Because I don’t belleve in state banks of issue, and it does not make me believe in them to have a plank put into the democratic platform in TAVOP-0f-thom *= =~ - - The balance of- Bryen's addross was de- voted to an exposition of his views on the money questions.

It is also held the section authorizes the widow of the deceased soldier to prosecute his pending claim under that act and receive the accrued pension to the date of the soldier’s death, This reverses the decision of the commis- sioner of pensions made in May, 1893, PHYSICAL STRENGTH, cheerful spirits and the ability to fully enjoy life, come only with a_healthy body and mind. The young man who suffers from nerv- ous debility, impaired mem.- ory, low spirits, irrita- ble temper, and the thousand and one de- rangements of mind and body that result from, un- natural, pernicj- ous habits usual- ly contracted in youth, through ignorance, is therchy incapac- itated "to thor- oughly enjoy life. "He feels tired, spiritless, and drowsy ; his sleepisdisturhed and does not re- fresh him as it should ; the will power is weakened, morbid fears haunt him and may result in confirmed liypochiondria, or melan- choliaand, finally, in softing of the brain, epilepsy, (“fits "), paralysis, locomotor ataxia and even in dread insanity, ‘To reach, re-claim and restore such unfortunates to health and happiness, is the aim of the publishers of a book of 136 pages, written in plain but chaste nguage, on the nature, symptoms and curability, by home-treatment, of such diseases, This book will be sent scaled, in plain envelope, on receipt of this no- tice with ten cents in stamps, for post- age.
