Loud of California would make a
good teasl but it is doubtful if either
of them will ever obtain a reputation
as great as that of our own Allen
Yesterday was Arbor Day and--Sec
rotary J Sterling Mortons birthday
The free silver Democratic convention
was al30 held yesterday which seems
to us to have been a rather doubtful
compliment to Nebraska famous soa
when we consider his views on finance
The latest machine gun will fire
26U000 shots an hour is smokless and
noiseless The power isgenerated by
two men working a crack and the
inventor refuses to -make public the
mysterious power he uses to force
the projectiles from the gun A fewj
more inventions like this will make
waT almost if not altogether -impossible
When Mr Clarkson admits that
the hope of the republican party is in
carrying New York and adds it is
easy enough to get a candidate who
can do that he puts his partys
chances on a shaky foundation If
the Democrats act with wisdom at
the Chicago convention no republican
who is acceptable to the west1 will be
able to carry New York
The Sioux City Tribune comments
on the fact that our exports- iof mam
factured products are larger now than
1 they have been at any time in1 the his-
tory of the country In spite of the
admitted industrial depression the ag
gregate for January and February was
nearly 36000000 and if the rate e
maintained up to next January they
promise to reach the enormous aggre
gate of 216000000 The highest
c record made under the McKiBley tariff
was 184000000 Last year the
gregate was 1200000000 The New
York Herald a conservative J
ent journal says The scarred -but
- starry flag of tariff reform surviving
- the BtorHi of its many battles will float
proudly in the coming campaign Ht

which were adopted
We the Bemocrats of Dherry county in mass
convention assembled doreaflirai our allegiance
to the principles of the Democratic party as
fonnulattd by Jefferson and exemplified by the
illnatriouB lino of his successors in Democratic
leadership from Madison to Cleveland V
We Still denounce the Republican doctrine of
protection -as a fraud rdbbery of the great
majority of the American -people for th6 benefit
of the few WestiU adhere to and maintain the
Democratic doctrine of a tariff for revenue
only1 We believe the interests of the massea
of our population will bo best conserved by the
collection of suchtaxes as shall be limited to the
uecessitles of the government honestly and
economically administered
We express our faith in the time honored doc
trine of the Democratic partyas to international
trade rolations an interchange by which the
countries participating -shall enjoy reciprocal
advantages We denounce the sham reciprocity
scheme of the Republicans which Juggles with
the peoples desire for freer exchanges by pre
tending toe3tabllrfh closer relations while en
-acting profcttrttivr tariff taxes against tnose
-countries atthe world that stand ready to take
f our enure surplus oi proaucis in excnangeior
commodities which are necessaries and comforts
of life among our own people
Appreciating the condition oftthe public mind
with reference to the financial policy- of thi
country ana recognizing tne importance ei a
proper solution of this question we Unhesitat
ingly express our unalterable opposition to the
free and unlimited coinage of silver except by
international agreement and until agree
ment can be procured we favor the present
standard of value We denounce the action of
the Republican county convention in intention
ally omitting to state its views on this important
question as a repetition of the cowardly and dis
honest practices Of that party
tFinally we endorse the administration for its
excellent conduct of public affairs its vigorous
foreign policy and its unparallelled management
