Ll HUNO CHANOsaid a good word
for the silverites, "with whom he is
solid, in New York, when he argued
that "cheap labor" was what is most
needed in this country.
TOM Carter of Montana, who cer
tainly knows what he is talking about,
says Wyoming with her great wool
growing and stock growing interests
is safe for McKinley. Tom was smit
ten with the silver mania for a time,
but his reason returned and he now
speaks as a man' of experience.
The Vermont election has pretty
much banished the specter that has
haunted eastern commercial circles
To use Mr. Bryan's elegant and feli
ni.na aimfla- it has "ringed the
nose" of the free coinage "hog" and
demonstrated that the eastern pasture
fa nrt for his fattening. The result
is a very pronounced revival of busi
over and that capital will not have to
stay in its hole, after all, until the 4th
of November. State Journal.
The Pi atrsmocth News thinks it is of the
greatest importance that Strode should be re
eleeted. Why? What has he done in the past
two years except draw his salary. Nebraska City
News.
It is true that Mr. Strode was not
quite so windy as his predecessor, and
did not make so much noise, but when
it comes to good, honest work he was
always found to be awake to the best
interests of his clients. His vote against
the River and Harbor steal is one in
stance of his valiant work, and there
are many more with which the peo
ple are familiar and which all fair
minded people are willing to admit.
Terrence V. Powder ly, who was
for many years the head of the great
labor organizations of the United
States, and who has always been given
credit for being a level headed man.
has declared himself for McKinley
He says: "I don't doubt Mr. Bryan's
ability or sincerity, but his experience
and his surroundings are such as to
cause the elector to ponder long ard
carefully over the possible result of in
trusting the business management of
this industrial national work shop in
this country.
There is undoubtedly a slow, but
sure, moral and religious advance
ment in politics. It has only been a
few year since political conventions
were opened with prayer and now the
custom is general. As a still further
advancement, the national republican
headquarters are closed on Sundays
by order of Mark Hanna, and last
Sunday the national democratic head
quarters were closed by instructions
from Chairman Jones. Some of the
democratic politicians thought it
tough to lose their "best day" as they
call it, but Mr. Jones advised them to
take a rest. Ex.
How sad to thinK that election day
may come and go before Tom Watson
gets a notice that he is nominated for
anything. Poor Tom ! He was a
high spirited youth, but his pride and
hopes are being shattered by the stud
ied neglect of W. V. Allen, and the
men who were appointed to make noti
fication Of what occurred at the pop
convention. The infamous action of
.this committee should be rebuked at
the polls, and since W. J. Bryan is re
sponsible for Windy" Allen's repre
hensible actions we have concluded
not to vote for Mr. Bryan. Thia
alone will not encompass his defeat,
but there are millions of us who feel
insulted at the manner in which Mr.
Bryan is treating the true representa
tive of the party which is doing so
much for the presidential candidate
and we wont stand it. ;-. L t V .
COLD FACTS ARE LACKING.
After you have listened to the tail of
woe skillfully and adroitly recited
this afternoon, and your emotions have
sufficiently subsided so that you can
reason, ask yourself whether in Mr.
Bryans siren silver song there was a
single fact stated that even tended 10
prove that the fiat of this government
can double the value of the ten billion
dollars of bilver held by the nations of
the earth, says the Lincoln News.
Financial statistics tell us that we use
less metallic money than little France.
With smaller capacity than even
France is it not beneath the dignity of
a thinking man to assert that what lit
tle silver we can add and use under
open mints will double the value of
the worlds great Bupply.
Remember if 16 to 1 does not double
the value of the world's 6ilver we will
drop to a silver standard.
It is pleasant to hear the money
power, if there is one, berated at the
hands of an adroit and skillful orator,
but it is a plain and obvious fact that
these denunciations do not prove that
the United States, using loss metallic
money than France, can indepen
dently create such a demand for silver
that the world's supply will double in
value when we are already overloaded
with silver money.
CAN WE COMPETE WITH EUROPE?
The following point is made by
George Curtiss in his recently issued
tariff work, "Protection and prosper
ity ":
An examination of the evidence of
British manufacturers given before
the Royal Commission on Depression
Trade and Industry, quoted in preced
ing chapters, shows that the chief
complaint in England against the con
tinent is because of longer hourb and
lower wages which prevail there. It
is fully demonstrated that the "super
lor efficiency" of British artisans has
not saved Great Britain from an inun
dation of Continental goods. If the
Continent is able to supplant and dos
troy industries in great Britain, as it
is certainly doing, with lower wages
and longer hours, how then would it
be possible for the United States to
withstand the combined Continental
and British competition when the
wages paid to its artisans are still
higher than those paid in the United
Kingdom?
j.HKiew Mexican dollars that are
in circulation here seem to give the
popocrats an endless amount of worry
They now pretend to have discovered
mat tnese Mexican dollars were
manufactured in this county and not
in Mexico. Just how this pretence
aids their cause is hard to see. If
good silver dollars like these, that
weigh more than ours, and contain
more fine silver, can be. coined on
private account, after passing through
two or three different handd, with
two or three express charges added,
sell for fifty-five cents, it is pretty con
elusive proof of the difference between
the value of the dollar and the silver
it contains. It is plain that the pope--
wanumucu worried wnen he sees a
Mexican dollar, else he would not re
sort to such a roarback as the counter
feiting story to attract attention from
the facts and the force of them. Ex.
WHILE Major McKinley has called
forth no end of admiration and favor
W1. - . .
ttum comment over ms letter oi ac
ceptance, Mr. Hobart today shows he
is no slouch of a letter writer himself.
His epistolary ability, as evidenced
oy his acceptance document, is sound
as a gold dollar and is bright and
logical as could have been written.
The next vice-president is all right.
Bryan's letter of acceptance showe
a slight improvement over the tone of
some of his speeches but after all he
makes the same old attempt to array
class against class, and create eocial
and industrial unrest. It was quite
significant that Mr. Sewall did not ap
pear to find out what had happened to
him when his name was taken in vain
at Chicago.
Until a few weeks ago the Ameri
can silver dollar was worth in about
all the civilized commercial nations of
the world practically one hundred
cents, whereas under free and unlim
ited coinage it would fall even below
the level of the Mexican dollar which
in the same countries has been held to
be worth only one-half the face value.
Sam del Maxwell is sending out
typewritten letters to the voters of his
district telling them why they should
vote for him. The old gentleman is
too feeble to go out and make speeches.
He would be equally unfit to perform
his duties in the halls of congress.
Wealtu, according to W. J. Bryan,
is an evidence that a great crime has
been committed against the common
people, but if its one of "our fellows'
that grows wealthy by special act of
congress made for his benefit then its
different, don't you know.
Adlai Stkvknson always seemed a
little addled and now that he has pried
himself out of obscurity long enough
to speak a few spokes for free slver,
he dan retreat to his cavo of gloom
without serious loss to the American
people. -
Some of the soft shells, with soft
spots on their heads have been trying
to compare Bryan with Lincoln, to
which an envious opponent finds only
one parallel, and that is while Lincoln
split rails Bryan split the democratic
MAINE will hold her state election
next Monday and from present indi

A 6EM FROM SPEAKER REED.
Thomas B. Reed has said and written
many pugent paragraphs, but none
better than the following in his intro
duction to "Protection and Pros
perity:" "Somehow or other, times like these
are great educators. How very fine
used to be the sneer about lifting one's
self by the boot straps ! How clear
used also to seem the demonstration
that taxes could create nothing!
What a fine, large mouth the consumer
had those days, and how puny and un
worthy seemed the hands of the pro
ducer I Now the unfilled mouth has
discovered who owns the hands. This
book will show"you that this has been
the history of nations, a hundred
times; nay, it has been the history of
our own nation half a score of times
in our short life. Like the Spanish
Grandee in the Cemetery we were
well and wanted to be better, took
medicine, and here we are. Is it worth
while to undergo this death and re
surrection again? We shall nevor
do it if we lay fast hold on the facts of
the universe. There may be a time
come when nations will be no more,
when the brotherhood of men may be
established, when communication
may be so rapid, when we shall be so
equally advanced in civilization that
nobody will jare where he lives or is
buried; when distance shall break no
ties, and when the universal, language
is spoken by everybody without accent;
in that time we may lose nationality
and become citizens of the world.
Then free trade may reign. But
such a time will not happen within
the hundred years which centre in
that week when two English speaking
nations were ready to clutch each
other by the throat about a boundary
thousands of miles away, and the Ger
man emperor was ready to fight the
kingdom of his grandmother about
some people in Africa whose ancestors
left the fathorland- so long ago that
history is not quite sure that they did
leave it. Nationality is a fact,
brotherhood is a hope. Perhaps if we
live up to our fact, that may be the
best way to arrive at our hope."
.THE democratic plot thickens, but
the efforts of Mr. Bryan and his
managers to deceive the voters con
tinues. The latest well authenticated
statement in reference to the vice
presidential muddle indicates that
Sewall is to be pulled off and Tom
Watson given a fair field. Mr. Brjan
however insists that Sewall must re-
main until after Now York and same
other northern states nave held their
state conventions and nominated
electors for fear the Pop running mate
might defeat his cherised plans. Billy
may not be a statesman, but as a
politician Boss Croker and that crowd
and kind can't five him any pointers
in tho reaml where they shine so lum-
icously. Lincoln's rcferance to fooling
the people, might be read with marked
profit by the popocrat statesman.
. Judge Billgreenk was routed,
horse, foot and-jlraanonL . when -Mr.
Cady, the republican candidate for
congress against the "iedge" who is
running on all the other tickets, re
plied to his challenge to debate the
silver issue with him to the effect that
he would gladly meet him on the
stump, but he proposed to uphold all
the principles of the republican plat-

in this matter. -
Bknjamin Harrison, in bis recent
speech, stated that the prospects for
republican success at the polls had
never yet injured business. Benjamin
is undoubtedly correct.
Dan La mont comes out squarely
for Palmer and Buckner, and the lat
est from New York says Senator Hill
inclines the same way. '
INFORMATION AND OPINIONS.
In 1861 William McKinlev waa ut-
holding his country's honor, and he is
doing it yet. In 1861 Brvan was mak-
ing a noise with his rattle box, and he
is doing it yet. Ex.
Superintendent Skinner, of the Ne-
oraska City schools, is making an ef
fort to secure shorter vacations in the
schools. The project is a eood on
aud should be considered by all school
boards. Under the present plan the I
student loses zo per cent of his school I
years, figuring that the average pupil
is compelled to quite school at the age
oi twelve, it is evident that with
little additional expense longer terms
could be had with good results.

After a hard tussel with the fish,
