UP TO THE SAME OLD TRICKS.
An Attempt to Palm Off Old Forgeries snd
f-ahcs Oa German Voters.
The Democratic statu central commit
tee of Nebraska has just put in circula
tion , at 80 lute a day in the campaign
that it was hoped the fraud would es
cape detection , a pamphlet printed in
the German language which reprints all
of the exploded forgeries and • ukes of
the campaign. Utterances of Lincoln ,
Grant , Garfield , Blaine , McKiuley , and
others , are garbled so as to misstate
their position. Then the old Financial
News forgery is trotted out again to do
service in a now dress , and the Bismarck
letter which was printed by the silver
press under a forged translation , is put
out as new and original and genuine.
Although the pamphlet is issued by the
Democratic state central committee , the
evidence exists that the expense of
printing was borne by Guy Barton of
Omaha , a life-long Republican until
this year , and manager of the Omaha
smelters , owned by the Omaha and
Grant Smelting company , with smelters
at Denver and Omaha. Mr. Barton's
interest in the matter , and his unusual
generosity , are explained by a conversa
tion had with him by a close friend
since the campaign opened. He was
asked if he had "gone crazy" on the sil
ver question. He replied that his com
pany owned nearly one million ounces
of silver ; that if the price of bullion ad
vanced under free coinage , the rise in
value would be clear profit ; that if it did
not advance , the company conld pay its
employes in dollars costing but fifty-two
cents ; and that , figured from this stand
point , he would be "in it" either way.
Vhe Democratic state central commit
tee aud "Silver Baron" Barton may be
good teachers for the Nebraska voters ,
with their fakes and forgeries and stale
chestnuts , and they may be able to fool
a few of our German citizens , but the
great mass of them are too intelligent to
be caught in such manner.
\ \ * ' / / '
Nebraska has never had a more care
ful , prudent or conscientious secretary
of state than J. A. Piper , the present
incumbent of that office and candidate
for re-election. He is well equipped ,
both by education and experience , for
the position , and the best proof of his
ability and good character is shown in
the fact that ho was nominated for
county clerk of Harlan county four
times unanimously , and generally
elected. He has given the state an
economical administration. A part of
his economies was the saving to the
state in the publication of the constitu
tional amendments to be voted on at
the approaching election. Under the
law he could have printed the amend
ments so they would have cost about
$80,000 , this sum to be distributed
among Republican newspapers , but he
was prudent and careful in this as in
other matters , the result being that the
publication will cost the state about
one-half of that amount. Under his
pruning knife the incidental expenses
of the Jast legislature were about $9,000
less than they would have been by fol
lowing old precedents. As keeper of
the "great seal" and the records of the
state Mr. Piper has in every way proven
himself worthy of a great public trust.
A Farmer's Political Speech.
Some Lancaster county farmers were
recently discussing the money question
and endeavoring to get at the cause of
low prices of farm products. Captain
Baird , himself an old farmer , listened
for a long time and then joined in , as fol
lows : "Boys , let's see if we can't get
at the facts right here among ourselves ,
without calling in any evidence from
outside of Lancaster county. Let's
don't take anybody's word for anything
that we don't know by our own observa
tion. All of you remember that during
the three years of drouth , covered
wagons were moving out of the state ,
and some of the men who owned land
began to be afraid that there wouldn't
be renters enough. Renters around
here thought there would plenty of
farms to rent and so they didn't hustle
for the leases. How did it turn out ? " |
It was remarked that laud was scarcer
than ever aud that some farmers in the
neighborhood hadn't been able to find a
foot of land to reut for this season.
" what is the " '
"Now cause ? asked the
captain. "Here we have all seen such \
a competition for land as we never saw '
before , and farming we all know isn't ;
profitable. Why ? Since the election
in 1892 hundreds of men in Lincoln
have been thrown out of work. They
were busy before in building houses ,
making public improvements , working
in factories and on the railroads. All
it once they find there is no more work
to do. They needn't go to other towns ,
for the same thing is true everywhere.
They have to live , and so they have
been flaxing around and renting farms
ant from under you renters out here.
Horses are cheap , and they have fitted
themselves out for farming , and here
they are , competing with you for land
ind selling grain instead of buying , as
they did when they were at work in i
town. "
A hum of approval followed this tell- ,
: ng point. One of the farmers Baid :
• I have heard a lot of speeches about
diver and everything , but nobody ever
nade the case so clear as Captain
Baird. " Others agreed with him that J
nrhat the country needs is the opening r
) the mills and not the mints.

To Subscribers of The Tribune.
Readers of The Tribune will please
remember that cash is an essential in
the publication of a paper. The pub
lisher has been very lenient during the
past few years , on account of crop fail
> ures and hard times , and ns n consequence
quence many hundreds of dollars are
due on subscriptions. ' We are now com
pelled to request all \vho can to call and
make settlement in full or in part. In
view of the facts , our subscribers must
feel the justice and urgency of this re
quest. The Publisher.
A few weeks ago the editor was taken with
a very severe cold that caused him to he in a
most miserable condition. It was undoubtedly
a bad case of la grippe and recognizing it as
dnngerous he took immediate steps to bring
about a speedy cure. From the advertisement
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and the
many good recommendations included there
in , we concluded to make a first trial of the
medicine. To say that it was satisfactory in
its results , is putting it very mildly , indeed. It
acted like magic and the result was a speedy
and permanent cure. We have no hesitancy
in recommending this excellent Cough Reme
dy to anyone afflicted with a cough or cold in
any form. The Banner of Liberty , Liberty-
