Here is a Peyser the fusion nom

ftxen the local tickets are nominat
ed this fall the fusion ticket will not
be a onesided affair It will- be fusion
When we think of the achievements
of Roosevelts Hough Eiders and re
member that part of- them belong to
Kew Yorks 490 we are forced to
admit that the Yankee Dudell Do
Democratic conventions which
platform of 96 and
Grover Clevelands attitude toward the
acquisition of foreign territory can ex
pect nothing but derision from sensi
ble men ONeill Frontier
Why
The Ohadron Journal has launched
a congressional boomlet for Capt A
Gt Fisher It says no man can beat
Greene easier than Fisher If that is
true Fisher will not receive the nom
ination because Greene will not be
beaten this year thank you
Ths town board did not take up the
water quectrou at its meeting last
night on account of f nil board not be
ing present A premptory order was
issued for the laying of new sidewalks
on Cherry street to replace those which
are so nearly worn our Action on
meters may be taken at the next meet
ing
Theiiemocratic and populist coun
ty conventions will be called for Sept
10 at Valentine Owing to failure
to qualify Dr Dwyer is not recog
nized as coroner and an election to
fill vacancy wilf occur This with
Miss btoners resignation will make
trireeeounty officers to vote for The
commissioner conventions will proba
bly be held at on Friday
Sept 9 for the greater convenience of
the peopISIirthe district who- wish to
have a voice in the nominations
We notice several of our republican
exchanges have been making lighsof
the congressional convention which
nominated Greene because many
cdiinties in the big Sixth were not rep
resented This fact is to- our mind
one which shows that Greene is the
candidate of the people not the cor
porations The populists were not
xilfijished with f iee transportation and
boatSj or they would have turned out
in force Very few people can r1 afford
to spend 25 or 30 for the purpose of
attending a convention
The republican protectionists admit
when J we arrive atthep6iut
where the manufacturers of this coun
try can sell goods in competition with
the foreigner a tariff on imports fails
toeither produce reyenue or protect
the manufacturer According to the
protectionist press we are now export
ing much more than we are import 1
ing Hence republicans are merely
bluffing when they point with pride
to their high tariff Dingley law and
tell the people that but for this law
none of our manufactories could keep
their machinery busy and would have
to reduce the wages paid their labor
ers
aPiipillion Times this week shat
ters oneVf the idols of the straight
democratic oppbrients of fusion by de
tailing how J Sterling Morton was the
first fusion candidate for governor in
the state of Nebraska having run for
governor on the dembefatic arid81 in
dependent republican tickets in 1884
ii is perhaps needless to say that the
independent republican ticket was
3Ujpported bv E Kose waterwas in
fact originated by that gentleman In
the light of this fact we dont see how
the straight democrats can kick
against the fusion of tHe present day
between the democrats and populists
jertainly populists have more in com
aaori with democrats than republicans

PROTECTIONIST VAGARIES
The State Journal contains the fol
lowing gems The first paragraph
is democratic doctrine pure and
simple but in the second paragraph
the editor tries to prove that in the
first place he was wrong The talk
about tin plate is so stale thatwe need
not contradiefc it That argument I
was exploded long ago NbticeVth
next paragraph too We would like to
know how long it has been since pro
tectionists began admitting anything
of the sort
Every man ought to know that what
ever increase the government makes
in the cost anything ultimately
cornea out of the user or consumer of
the document or the commodity or
service -teat w taxed
It is- frequently possible to raise a
revenue for a time that will not come
entirely out of the consumer by a pro
tective tariff For instance the tariff
on tin plate which was fought so per
sistently by the pops and lii vanites -a
few year3 ago did raise quite a reve
nue without increasing the- price of
tin and ultimately within a few
mouths of its passage it- resulted1 in
what appears to- be a r permanent re
duction of the retail price of tin
But all protectionist admit this re
sult is really temporary as in time the
home production will successfully
meet foreign competition except in
cases where unskilled manual labor is
alone in competition and the cessa
tion of importations of the articles we
have learned to make at home with
the aid of superior machinery finally
outs off -the revenues
SCHOOL MONEY
During the last eighteen months un
der republican administration the
amount of school money apportioned
to all the counties of the state was
70870474 Of this amount 231--05830
the amount of the December
1896 apportionment was not actually
paid by the republicans but was left
for the dembpop administration to
pay and no money was left in the
treasury with which to pay it But
the demopop administration during
its first eighteen months not only paid
this 23195830 which the republicans
neglected to pay but in addition there
to collected and paid to the counties
of the state the immense sum of 1
17028691 This amount added to
the December 1896 apportionment
which the demopops had to collect and
pay brought the- total amount paid
during the first eighteen months of
demopop rule to 140224551 whicn
was 92549877 more than was paid to
the counties of the state during the
first eighteen months of republican
rule
In other words during the first
eighteen months of the demopop ad
ministration there was apportioned
and paid to the various counties of
the state for the benefit of the public
schools three times more money than
was apportioned and paid during the
last eighteen months of republican
rule World Herald
DOES FUSION PAY
Under the republican administra
tion Nebraska state warrants were at
a discount Today under the demo
pop administration Nebraska state
warrants are at a premium of 1
The fees paid out by the demopop
administration have been 10000 per
year less than the fees paid out under
tfie republican administration
The expense of collectingthe taxes
under the demopop administration
has been 14000 per year less than the
expense for collecting the taxes under
the republican administration
During the first 17 months- of the
demopop administration the amount
of the officers fees collected and paid
into the state treasury was 5289569
more than was paid in during the en
tire two years of 1895a nd 1896 under
the republican administration
During the last two years of its ex
istence the republican administration
increased the interest bearing debt
of Nebraska from 118857559 to 2-
46370995 an increase of 1275134
36 During the first 18 months of the
demopop administration the interest
bearing debt of Nebraska was reduced
