TllK New York democracy, too,
feels that it is treading upon shaky
ground. It extends a cordial invi
tation to their "colored fellow citi
zens" to join the procession.
It is noticeable that Moies, of
Iowa, is compelled to conduct a
campaign of apology. It is a fact,
also, that a campaign of this nature
nearly always winds up with de
feat. TllK New York democrats do not
say one word about (irover Cleve
land. Is it possible that they wish
to relegate this modern Mesiah (r)
to the rear': If so, he will drop
quite a distance and great will be
the fall thereof.
(Ii Kk'Miw Hoiks cannot see why
the republicans wish to talk tariff
and stiver coinage in a state cam
paign. Just let him buy a round
trip ticket to Oiluin wa Sept. Zi and
Ma jor McKinley will tell him why.

TllK fact that :C0,UK pensions
have been granted I'nion soldiers
during the ei.ircnt fiscal year,
deinonsiraies fully that the repub
lican party is still loyal to the vete
rans. Will the soldiers properly
appreciate this eervice and stand
bv their friend':
IT cannot et be announced with
any. rciiiarka hie degree of certainty,
as to when the democrats will be
gin lirinir their big guns in Ohio.
It appears that they began to take
the sensible view of the matter, and
regard a vigorous campaign in
tjfttUliio is a waste of amunilion.
FROM present indications through
out the country, the democrats will
be forced to I'md consolation in the.
regular old democratic way.
(dad it t'want no wuss."
TllK position that the democratic
party will take upon the silver
coinage question inlY.2 is yet in
doubt. The silver plank of the New
York democratic platform is al
together different from the de
clarations of the Iowa and Ohio
democrats rctfardititf this question
in asmuch as it declares attaint
"free and unlimited coina;e"aiid de
mands a pild standard of value.
It seems for once that a portion of
the party will not acquiesce in the
usual "opposition" policy.
No administration has succeeded
so will in opening up foreign mar
kets for tlie American farmer's pro
ducts and providing for tlie recep
tion of foreign oods, which we
cannot profitably produce, as the
Harrison administration has. And J
at the same time the president has J
put lorth every reasonable effort to
promote American industry in
every seclion of the country. What
honest man laying aside party pred
tidice can deny that the adminis
tration has been one worthy the
pride of any man?
Nl'.U I i I . iv K v Him, is having a hal
cyon ami vociferous time these
days in getting Nebraska democrats
by the ears. Newberry Hill is a
great statesman, but a mighty poor
politician. Whether Hill or Hoyd
gets on lop at drain! Island matters
little, for the thunder of their con
flict will continue, to reverbrate
from blulf to sand hill until the
idea of November, whatever happen
at the convention. Some of the
rock ribbed who prefer peace at
any price are proposing to fire both
of 'em out the party and may be it
would be the best thing to do.

TllK Alliance folks who talk a
great deal about starting co-operative
stores all over Nebraska anil
Kansas may be interested in know
ing that seventeen of such establish
meats were founded in Michigan
during the granger excitement.
Of these, only one is now in exist
ence, and it survived the general
wreck, only because it gave tip, to a
certain extent, the co-operative prin
ciple. The manager has been inter
viewed by a representative of a
Chicago newspaper, and gives it as
his opinion that none of the pro
posed alliance business houses will
prove successful. - Weeping Water

clares that he does not wish to take
a hand in the Ohiocntnpaigu, but it
appears that he has become a
a potent factornotwithstanding the
announcement. Major McKinley
has provided himself with letters
pertaining to the silver question
written by the distinguished citi
zen and they are proving of inval
uable service to the republican par
ty. Mr. Cleveland to-day entertains
views on this o'lf-'.ioa that are
thoroughly republii an. His party
should keephim in within the traces
better, as this is not the first time
he has put a club into the hands of
the republicans to be used in beat
ing his party.
When the baby cries every one
wants to know what's the matter;
and if the outcry is frequent, the
chances are that there is some
thing wrong about the food. It re
quires unusual facilities to be able
to keep posted on. all the latest
ideas about feeding young child
ren, therefore the article "How and
What to Feed the Haby," published
in the October number of that pro
gressive monthly, Demorest's Fam
ily Magazine, is especially valuable
to all who have anything to do with
babies. It will tell you everything
you need to know about baby's
food from the time it is born till
can rat the regular meals of the
family,- what food to give, how to
prepare each kind, how much and
how often the child should be fed,
when and how often the diet should
be changed, with bills of fare for
different ages, etc.,--and all so
clearly that one cannot misunder
stand the directions. F.lla Wheeler
Wilcox's story, "Was It Suicide':"
should he read by ever)- woman,
and all will enjoy the "Confession
of a Materializing Medium;" "In the
Woman's Ward ot an Insane Asy
lum" tells a pathethctic story of its
own; "Fireside Nooks and Cor
ners" give valuable suggestions
about the inexpensive but artistic
house decoration; all the numerous
departments are replete with valu
able matter; there are nearly 'J(H
line illustrations; and all together
it is a remarkably tine number of

Ol'K democratic contemporary
howls about protection being rob
bery, but this cry is nothing new
It was this same cry that canned the
overthrow of the taritf system in
augurated by the fathers of our
country, and the substitution of
the free trade tarff of 1M0 just
such an act as our friends desire
congress to pass at this stage. Our
readers are too well informed as to
the disastrous effects of this act up
on the industrial interests of-our
country. No sooner were pauper
made goods admitted without duty,
and our laborers placed upon a
level with those of foreign countries
than lliey at once, in many cases,
left the shop and began farming
Why: Simply because they could
fare better upon an American farm
than working under a free trade
policy. The effect was that we were
rendered dependent upon the Kng
lish monopolist, ami exhorbitant
prices were charged the American
consumer; yes, a deliberate steal
was made, without regard to reason
or decency. The people, however,
called the republican party into
power again and then, and not un
til then, were industries on
this side of t li e o c e a n
started, our laboring men provided
with work at remunerative wages,
our farmers provided with a home
market for a great many products,
and goods made cheaper because
of the competition between the
manufacturers of our own country.
I Ins bowl about protection being
robbery in the face of facts in the
matter is purely a cry of the van
quished when nothing else can , be
resorcd to. Hut usually these dec
larations only serve to disgust the
people unless accompanied by ar
gument. We can pick up any
democratic sheet and read that the
republican party is composed of
robbers thieves and scoundrels, but
the fact remains that it has done
more for this country than has been
promised by any other organiza
tion and that it embraces within its
arms the best element of American
citizenship.
TllK democratic convention at
Grand Island yesterday nominated
Judge J. II. Hroady for supreme
judge, and F. A. Hrogau and S. F.
Henniger for regents of the state
university, each of whom was
nominated by acclamation.
It appears that the aspirants for
office: were le s numerous than
usual upon such occasions, as
Judge Hroady was the only nomi
nee for the judgship, and his
friends thought it extremely doubt
ful as to the acceptation of the
honor. It is evident that thejjudge
is governed by the signs of the
times, and prefers to defer his trip
up the briny creek.
Hoyd's friends had charge of af
fairs and as if by a pre-arranged
plan the party bosses carried the
chief triumphantly through. It iv
safe to conclude that the alliance
will receive no favors from the
democratic party of Nebraska.
The convention was harmonious
throughout, there bcingapparcntly
but little concern as to who were
the nominees.
IF ONLY CLEVELAND WERE PRES
IDENT. FJditor American Kcounmist: The
anecdote given in your issue of
August 21, as taken from the Oska
loosa Herald, may hesuppleinentcd
by the experience of a democratic
farmer of this place. This man,
usually forehanded with his busi
ness, not given to reading Oil
papers, whose political doctrine is
to believe all the democratic teach
ers say, and to plump it straight
for the democratic nominee every
election day, had last fall been
stuffed full of high McKinley
prices. Thinking he would be
ahead in one thing, at least, he laid
in a supply of binding twine, for
which he paid fourteen cents per
pound, wholesale, for medium
grade article. The harvest of this
year being about over, he brought
his wife to town to get supplies for
threshing. At the same time he
brought a load of corn which he
sold for sixty cents per bushel. He
sold his wheat for one dollar per
bushel, and a bunch of hogs for
five dollars and sixty-live cents per
hundred pounds live weight, lie
then hunted his wife up and paid
her bills. She hail bought three
tin cups for a dime; good calico for
four cents per yard, and the best
granulated sugar lor t:ecents per
pound. He then stepped into a
hardware store and bought a Keg
of nails for one do! !, ir and ei. iily
cents, and needing a lew pound.- of
binding twine for I. He harvest he
was given the best mauiila twine
for ten cents per pound. This
knocked the old lellow clean out.
He contemplated Ihe ceiling a few
moments and then communed with
himself thus: "The best nianilla
binding twine for ten cents per
pound, three tin cups for a dime,
good calico for four cents a yard,
twenty pounds best white st;gar for
one dollar, a whole keg of nails for
one dollar and eighty cents; corn
sixty cents per bushel and I sold
300 bushels at that price ami got
the cash; hogs, five dollars and
niity-five cents per hundred pounds
on foot; wheat, one dollar per
bushel, and thirty bushels to the
acre; if only Cleveland would be
president this would be a h 11 of a
tine time." Vm. Com m ins,
Union City, iM., Au. 20. 1SI1.
IT is noticeable that while the
dry goods box politician, or dis
gruntled politician, id telling the
down-trodden farmer how he is
being imposed upon, that he goes
right along selling his crop at a
big price and is Inlying American
made goods at much lower prices
than when depending upon Great
Hritain monopolies during demo
cratic rule.
McKINLEY'S CAMPAIGN
It is a high compliment to Major
McKinley 's force of attraction that
the press of both parties compares
his meeting to those which Hlaine
drew togather in lxsi. "The crowd
was larger than," says the repub
lican reporter, or, "not as large as,"
savs the democratic writer, that
which greeted Mr. Hlaine in the
memorable campaign of lss. Hut
both compare McKinley 's meetings
with those of Hlaine.
Mr. Hlaine was a Presidential
candidate, lie had been Senator
and Secretary of Slate, he had
been twenty years in Congress, a. id
had written a book that is as
famous as Henton's "Thirty Years
in the Senate." Moreover, he spoke
at but few points in a few States,
his advent was anticipated by Slate
organizations' all that the party
machinery of a State could do was
done to secure him an ovation at
the one or two places selected for
his meetings. Mr. McKinley is but
a candidate for Governor his expe
rience has been confined to the
House of Representatives, his
meetings are local affairs, he speaks
night after night, at points not far
distant; but the crowds that greet
him are compared to those that wel
comed Hlaine. It is very long
since the head of the state ticket
made his campaign so much of a
National event as that of Major
McKinley in Ohio. The people of
Ohio are all proud of McKinley as
the men of Maine are of Hlaine. - In

satisfaction. Since the war of 1870 this
role has ceased to belong to France.
Germany has usurped it, and her claim
to it is what has revolted the czar, who
remains alone, striving by his deliberate
isolation to neutralize tlm nnu-elenmu

to render him apparent homage in order
to emphasize his attitude, but really

C. H. Bullock, of Northfield, Minn.,
has obtained 1,120 bushels of potatoes
from one acre of land. This is said to
bo by far the largest yield ever known,
300 bushels being usually considered a
big crop. That the 1,120 bushels were
all raised on one acre of ground is sworn
to by a uuiuber of trustworty jieople of
the vicinity. Mr. Bullock will net fiiatf
for his product, nearly all clear gain.
Last year he would have made fOOO off
the same yield, as the price of potatoes
was high theu. The farmers in the
vicinity are considering these figures
and thinking of potatoes a good deal.

It seems there was one incident of the
recent attack on Fisher's Island not down
on the bill. It had been arranged that
the invading force should in due season
capture the island, and directions had
beeu given accordingly, but no one had
thought to mention the fact to the great
bull that lords it over the pasture where
the struggle occurred. When he saw
that there was danger of losing the island
he lowered his horns and raised his tail
and charged upon the combatants, rout
