No man can see the magnificent ngrl
cultural exhibit at tlio stnto fair withou
prldo in the state. It is not ulono taste
fully arranged , and attractive hecnus
it Is artistic , but it ia n con vim-
Ing proof of the greatness of Nebraska
Not half the counties in the stale ur
represented , but wo undertake to sa ;
no other building at any other state fai
of the eamo proportions can compan
with agricultural hall at Lincoln for tin
number , nl/.o and quality of graitn , vop
otabloi and grasses displayed. No stall
except Nebraska could rise from failun
in a single year to such signal Miperlor
ity. The Nobrnskan who can doubt tin
future of his stnto after seeing thesi
exhibits tins pessimistic tendencies whicl
will make him question the oternlty o
paradise when ho begins to oxporienu
its delights.
A striking feature of the groatoxhlbii
is the marvelous showing made by tin
frontier counties. The far west doe :
herself proud. The counties which las
year wore sorely distressed by absolute
failure and whoso citl/.ens actually stif
fered for the nuociisarlcs of comfortabl <
existence are on hand at the fair will
.specimens of this year's crops whicl
make those of some of the older count U"
seem almost insignificant. The llgurei
showing the yield poracro of such grant !
and roots as have boon harvested ar <
almost beyond belief. They simplj
prove what we are noarlv al
beginning to bollovo that Nebraska is
bettor than a gold mine from the Mis'
souri river to the Wyoming state lino.
The great western half of the state will
pay fordovolopmcnt and not disappoint
the sanguine pioncorswho have entered
upon the task of conquering it.
The exhibit at the state fair shows
that the scheme proposed by the State
Business Men's stHsociation for an adver
tising train can bo carried out most suc
cessfully. If nothing goes into the cars
except selections from what Is displayed
at Lincoln the traveling exhibit will
talk louder for Nebraska .than period
icals , orators or oven harvest excur
sions. The showing at the fair and the
universal surprise it occasioned among
visitors is positive proof of the value ol
the plan under consideration by the
Business Men's association.
THK MANOFACIVKKItfr OlVOItTUfflTY.
Public sentiment has responded pat
riotically to THK BKK'S suggestions in
behalf of homo industries. Almost
every man , woman and child in Omaha
who can road admits the strength of the
arguments advanced and already orders
are going to the retail dealers to sup
ply households with Omatia arti
cles in preference to these from
abroad. Our 108 homo manufactories
have an opportunity for pushing their
trade never bofo-o presented. The
people are ready to use their manufac
tures if they can bo informed where and
how to get thorn.
The call for a mooting of manufactur
ers on the 21st inst. to orcrnni/.o an
association is a good move in the right
direction. It will enable these business
men by combining their ideas ana their
influence to not only incroa.se their own
business but to stimulate ) retail trade allover
ever the city. An increase in the ca
pacity and output of the factories means
inoro mon earning wages and mo-c
people to purchase supplies. - In
other words it moans prosperity.
In the course of a few months the
association could enlarge Its member
ship to include Nebraska , manufacturers
and its exhibit to n display of Nobrasica
manufactures. Eventually and in a com
paratively short time it would develop
nil around.
The association rooms should bo a
permanent exposition of Omaha manu
factures. Its secretary should bo a man
who will push the enterprises ho repre
sents. It would bo a place of interest
to every Omahan and ono which
will attract the attention of visitors
into a great manufacturing exchange.
The time is ripe for action and the peo-
; ilo are back of the manufacturers now.
Lot no time bo lost in taking adyautago
of the opportunity circumstances have
presented.
THK VOLUME 0 * ' ClltCUIjATIUn.
The statement recently sent out by
the treasury department , showing the
total money circulation of the country
and the amount per capita for each year
since 16(10 ( , has had the effect to silence
; ho clamor of the demagogues who had
aeon insisting that there was less money
in the country now than in some pre
vious years since the rebellion. The
official figures , which it is presumed
10 ono will venture to dispute , how
ever much some may persist
in the view that there is
not money enough , show that the per
capita circulation of the country is
argor than it ever was before , and wo
enow from the silver transactions of the
treasury that it is steadily increasing.
It is explained in connection with the
uiblishod statistics that the estimates
luring the war period do not include In
the circulation the ono and two year
notes of ISO , nor the compound in
terest notes , because they wore not
i sod as a circulating medium ,
> ut wore hold as intarest-bear-
ng investments , and when they
came buck into the treasury were us
clean and unworn as on the day ot issue.
Neither are gold coin and gold certifi
cates included in the circulation from
1802 to 1878 , because gold was then at a
iromium In currency , was not in actual
circulation and was treated as a comma-
lily , except on the Pacific coast , whore
the amount Of specie in circulation IB
estimated at $25,000,000. Subsidiary
silver was also excluded from circula-
ton until 187(1 ( , when by act of congress
t became n part of the circulation.
Another element to bo considered , as
going to reduce the real proportion of
circulation in 1805 to the present volume ,
B the difference in the purchasing power
of paper money. On July 1 , ISM , the
amount of money In circulation was in
round numbers $741,000,000 , of which
$089,000,000 was paper. During the
calendar year 1805 the average market
> rieo ot gold woa 167 , so that It
cqulred $157 in ourroncy to pur
chase as much of any com
modity as could be purchased with
8100 in gold. The $714,000,000 which
vas then in circulation was therefore
equivalent , as nil average for the year ,
o only $104,000,000 of the money which
has constituted the currency of thl
country slncu January 1,1870 , nn atnoun
per capita of $11110. It is manifestly
most important In considering the circu
Intton of the war period not to leavi
out of account the rolatlvo purchas
ing power of the currency thot
and now , and when this Is done
it will bo econ that no
only hasthoro boon n largo increase ii
the nmoutit ot circulation per capita bu
a material gam in the value of inonoj
as determined by its purchasing power
Such facts as the treasury department
has presented are a conclusive rofuta
tiotl of the assertion that the clrculatlot
of the country lias declined , but it I ;
perhaps lee much to expect that It wll
have any Influence with the demagogue !
who are demanding a boundless intlatlot
of fiat currency.
Mil. riKVKIAXD n'AIUfED.
Nothing has occurred in recent poll
tics quite so unique as the open lettci
addressed to Mr. Grover Cleveland ly
Lieutenant Governor Jones of Now York
who unjoys a national reputation as the
man who pays the freight. Mr. Jones
would like to bo governor of Now York
but in the present circumstanced has nol
the ghost of a chance of reachIng -
Ing that political elovation. This
in not duo to any lack of capacity or In-
togrity. Unquestionably Jones could
till the office , not comparably wiih soma
of the great mon who have baon governors
ornors of the Empire state , but doubt
less as creditably and acceptably as the
present incumbent. In a long business
career as well as in public life Jones has
established a character for honesty and
uprightness. But ho is not a politician
of the class now running thinirs in Now
York , and therefore ho is ruled
out of the nice. Ho is not in
it either with the Cleveland or
the Hill faction. But Jones has not on-
ttroly lost his nerve , and ho dons not
propose to Ho down and bo politically
pulverized without making some notso.
Mr. Roswell P. Flower is a candidate
for the democratic nomination for gov
ernor. He is several times a millionaire ,
and his chief merit as a politician is his
liberality in contributing fur campaign
expenses. It ha * boon supposed
that Mr. Flower's candidacy was
being backed by the influ
ence of Governor Hill , but tlr's would
seem from the letter of Mr. Jonoto , be
a mibtakc. The lieutenant govo nor no
tifies Mr. Cleveland that the friends of
the ox-president nro freely using his
name in their support of Mr. Flower ,
and then ho proceeds to warn Mr.
Cleveland that ho is endangering his
presidential chances by permitting1 this ,
lie is warned that ho is inviting
the hostility of the \\ago earn
ers , the toilers and producers
by allowing the use of his name
to promote the political chances of a
millionaire. 'The fact is pointed out
that there is n growing movement in
protest against the aggressive power of
wealth , and with that Mr. .Tones con
cludes his peculiar letter.
Now it is quite possible that Mr. Cleve
land Is entirely innocent of any interest
in or connection with the efforts of Mr.
Flower to got the gubernatorial
nomination. It is by no mean * ,
unlikely that Mr. Jones wasn't en
tirely certain of what ho was
talking about. And if ho wore it is not
clear what ho could reasonably hope to
accomplish by publishing such a lottor.
But at any rate it throws tin interesting
and somewhat amusing side light on
democratic politics in Now York , and
does not in the least detract from the
favoiblo outlook for republican success.
It makes plainer the fact that there is a
great deal of disaffection in the demo
cratic : ranks of a nature th'it is almost
certain to make a republican victory
this year.
THK proposition that the county shall
pay ono-half , the city one-fourth and the
school district one-fourth of the cost of
Lho election booths has the merit at
least of easy calculation , though upon
what basis the division is made is not.
clear. However , as practically every
dollar comes out of the taxpayers of the
city it matters very little how the expense -
ponso is divided among the three gov
erning bodies.
Tim retail merchants of Omaha will
hid no public sentiment of approval of
ibeir selfish scheme for increasing the
icetiRo of the vendors of fruit and veg
etables upon the streets from $ ( i to $20
i > or mouth. Having no public market ,
Ditmha housoholiler.s would find it very
expensive to turn ever the green gro
cery business entirely to the retail gro
cers. Tlio license for street peddlers is
iiigh enough.
WHAT can bo dona to purge this city
of municipal corruption and dishonest
officials , is an oft repeated question.
Could the honest , industrious and re
spectable citizenship bo nwnkonod to the
rue situation and induced to take an ac-
tlvo interest in city government , there
would be a reconstruction that would bo
worth hundreds of thousands of dollars
to Oicaha.
OMAHA people will do well to recog
nize the enterprise of Council Bluffs by
ittonding the races at Union Park. The
, wo cities are necessarily so intimately
connected with each other that the pub
ic spirit of ono' should always bo appre
ciated by the other.
THK power that runs the great Hour
nills of Minnesota is steam. Omaha is
n the center of a great wheat growing
country. There is no reason why the
iillls wo have should not dotiblo their
capacity and others bo built and success-
ully conducted. Buy Omaha Hour.

Fu-mer Woostcr N a in OH a Candidate
for Supreme lieiu-h.
Sti.vnu CKKIIK , Nob. , Sopt. II ) . To the Ed
itor of Tin : BKK : In your leading editorial
of yesterday , speaking of n candidate for
associate Justice of the supreme court , you
truly say : "Tho mnn whom the republicans
should nominate must bo free from the slight
est suspicion of corporation iufluonco. In
addition to being a thoroughly competent
man for the highest Judicial position in the
stulo ho must hnvo back of him a character
and career absolutely unassailable. "
Now if Hon. M. B. Iteoso does not 1111 the
Jill I should like to know the reason why. I
; hing It is grtnorally understood among the
furmers that Judge Hcoso was defeated fern
n icnotnlnation two years ngo by railroad In-
liienco. It will bo safe this yoarto nominate
this man , whom of all others the null-ends do
lot want. In nnotncr way can the republican
mrty of this stnto as offectivolv show that it
s now ready nnd nblo to cast off the Incubus
of railroad domination as in thu nomination
of M. B , lioeso to tlio supreme bench.
It is useless to try to conconl the fact that
lorotoforo tlio railroad poole [ have boon able
n n largo moajurosuccossfullv to manipulate
the politics of this state , and it has now como
to this , that if they wilt not voluntarily gat
out of the way it is our duty , n well as the
lictato of sound policy , to kick them out of
ho way , nnd I for ono propose , If necessary ,
ho latter alternative.
Many republican formers have heretofore
nsistod that If the rank nnd tlio of the party
vould rouse themselves wo could purge It of
tils baleful inlluonco. L-H the work of the
omlng republican state convention provo the
vlsdom of thcso farmers in roinnlnlne ' loyal

others who hnvo temporarily loft the party
that all virtue did not. go with
