ASKAVt.r o.v nKcirnocirr.
The democratic party Is assailing
reciprocity nil along the line. The
platform of that party In Nebraska de
nounce * the policy on the ground that Ifc
"Itivitos ijoimnnrelal iutorcourHO only
with tuitions which buy our tnanufao-
tilrod products , nnd prohibits freedom
of oxcliango with lluwo nations which
purchase our sitrpltifl of npricul-
lural products. " The Now York
democratic ; platform npoaks sub-
Btantlally to the same olToct. Governor
Campbell of Ohio In hlfl speech
opening the domorirattu campaign in
that state , declared that the plan of re
ciprocity bc'lnf carried out by the ad
ministration Is not aufllciont , and that
the policy ought to bo extended to em
brace Mngland , I'Yanoo , Canadtiand Ger
many.In his speech at Spencer , la. ,
last woolc , C'onpressmnn Springer of
Illinois took a-similar view. Ho said
tluil Mr. Ulaino'H Idea of reciprocity
seemed to bo that It h "only desirable
when confined to these conn-
triuH whore Spanish or Portu
guese Is spokon. or geographi
cally Hpcaking , to countries south of the
United States. Hut most people will
conclude , " conllnui'd Mr. Springer ,
"that if reciprocity is doslrablo with
Spanish-speaking slateit will also bn
desirable with ether governments , and
especially with countries where wo have
or can have Inrgo trade and commerce. "
Tlio Illinois congressman proceeded to
deprecate tlio reciprocity iii/rootnontH
already effected by saying that
the. increased trade will bo very
little , if any , nnd the effect on
the general commerce of the coun
try will not bo perceptible. "The
theory is beautiful. " ho remarked , "but
the prnctlco will Im of litllo ulility to
this country. "
There could bo no botlor illustration
of the spirit und purpose of the demo
cratic party limn is furnished by the
allnck it is every where making upon
reciprocity. When the policy was pro
posed tli.it party claimed that it was a
stop in the direction of free trade and
berated the republicans for trying
to abandon protection by indirec
tion , lint now that the domocraln
sue reciprocity lo bo in strict
harmony with the policy of protection ,
und a wine and certain moans of extend
ing the markets for tba surplus products
of our farms and factories without im
pairing the homo market or jeopard
ising the security of our industries , they
denounce it us one-Hided , beautiful in
theory , but without utility , and endeavor
to depreciate the viluo of the results at
tained and promised. This essentially
unpatriotic and un-Ainerieaii course
is entirely characteristic of the de
mocracy. That party does not de
sire the development of the manufac-
tiiriir Industrie's of tbn cmmtrv. The
clement which controls it'is not inter-
cslod in the progress and upbuilding of
Hueh industries. The democratic south
believes in free trade , or what would in
practical operation amount lo that , and
the party in oilier .sections is guided by
*
the views and wishes of its southern
wing.
Tlio wisdom of reciprocity is being
vindicated to an extent Unit ought to
satisfy all fair-miudod men. Our
export trade with Bra/.il lias
moro than doubled in the few months
that the arrangement , ha.s boon in clToct
with that country. It is not to bo
doubled that a still bailer showing will
be made for Iho trade with Cuba and
1'orto Kleo in duo timo. When the
policy is ox to ti ded to ether South Amer
ican countries and to Mexico its good
olVi-cls will become still moro apparent.
Wo shall have steady markets for a
considerable part of our surplus farm
products , and our manufacturers , moro
favored than these of ether nations ,
will bo enabled to successfully compete
with our Kuropoan rivals for the largo
anil growing commerce of the southern
countries. A policy so rich in promise
of splendid results ought to have the
earnest support of all patriotic citixons ,
but partisan considerations are stronger
with the democracy than those affecting
the material in to res In of tlio nation , and
reciprocity being at once a republican
and distinctly American policy , the dem
ocratic party can sou no merit in it.
UA'I.t'l'KY J'/v'.l/J I''nlt DHMDCllA'IS.
Mr. Mural Halstead , in olio of his odi-
lorial dispatches to his Cincinnati paper ,
remarks Unit this year the democratic
party simply Imi no luck. Irrationally
elated by its success last year in elect
ing two-thirds of the next house of rep
resentatives , it took the contract polit
ically to have hard tinu-s in tbh coun
try , and since then everything has boon
going wrong with Iho parly. None
of Its prophesies of evils that
were to alllict the people hsivo
been vorlllud. The calamities thai wore
lo befall as a result of Uui now tariff hiw
have failed to matorlalim Thu de
pression and distrust which liolpod the
democracy to victory last year , and
which that party did all it could lo in-
lonsify , are passing away and tlio beginning -
ginning of a now era of prosperity that ,
promises to bo unprecedented in tlio
history of the country is at hand. * The
farmers of tlio country have not only
garnered great c.'op * , but they
have tin assured market for
thorn at prollUiblo prices. The
induslrios of the nalion are experienc
ing a revival of iicllvily which promises
v generous reward to labor. The stream
) f gold which Mowed to Kuropo during
the llrst six months of the year is re
turning In payments for our products ,
ind it will nil come back and more with
t. The conditions all favor n great and
swelling prosperity for the American
) onplo that l.i assured not merely for a
, -our , but for n number of years. This
ortumito atato of affairs confutes
ill the predictions and argu
ments of the democracy. That party is
still prophesying evil. Its leaders are
still preaching calamity , still ondoavor-
ng to convince the people that Uilngs
ire all going wrong , and that the only
way to right thorn Is to place in power
overywhuro llio party which has never
lone anything for the development and
n-ogroasof the country , It denounces
eclprocity , which Is enlarging the mar-
< ets for the products of our farms and
aetorios , because it is not extended
o these countries whoso industries
compote with ours , A largo majority of
the party favors the free coinage of sil
ver , that would I-Mult In thodomornll/.a-
tlon and dsprecl.atlon of the currency ,
that wou' < l establish a single silver
standard and drive gold out of circula
tion and out of the country. " It still
prates of n tariff for revenue only ,
which would render necessary a restora
tion of the duty on sugftr and on
ether nrllclos of general use from
which the republicans removed the
duties in the Interest of the whole people
and which would compel an abandon
ment of reciprocity. It is ocsontlnlly
reactionary now as always , hoping for
success by creating popular distrust , by
Instilling apprehension in the mind * of
the people by discrediting the beneficial
results of republican legislation ana by
giving the weight of Its inliuonco to
doctrines which , if they should prevail ,
would bo disastrous to the flnr.nclal nnd
business affairs of the entire country.
Hut this year the poopla are not so
susceptible to democratic teaching and
principles as they were a year ago.
With tlio prospect of splendid prosper
ity phiinly In view they cannot bo in
duced to look upon the future with
distrust and apprehension. They see
rather every reason for confidence under
existing conditions , and In this feeling
they will refuse lo nuslalti Iho parly
which stands for principles and policies
that untagonix.o and would overturn
these sound conditions.
IM A recent interview Senator Sher
man wns asked how the free and unlim
ited coinage of silver would affect the
Iho wage oa-'iicr and Iho farmer , and
his reply was so cogent and convincing
as to merit the widest circulation , lie
said :
ISu'slnpss men , financiers nnd speculators
constantly inako n study of the tlnmicinl con
ditions which surround us. It would bu very
easy for thorn to increase the nrico of every
commodity In lifo Just iu llio ratio , and per-
hupi In n greater onu , that the purchasing
power of the silver dollar hocomo Ions in the
nmrliUts of the world. The farmer who Rets
a few moro cents a bushel for his wheat with
n debased currency will not quicKly
realize that the increased price for
tlio fruits of hh toil is moro than
eaten up by the decrease in the pur
chasing power of a silver dollar. The wajjo
earner will bo still a greater sufferer , bu-
cause ho is the last element of our active life
the compensation of whom responds to an in
crease in the cost ot living. In fact , bo is the
List one considered when an inllaled cur
rency mark ? up the price of goods In the
store or products In the market. Iftlicroi1 *
any human being who lias a deep interest m
preserving the standard of our values It Is
thu fannci' nnd the laboring man , to whom
this appeal for moro money hos a very seduc
tive sound. lUit it is fraught with oviU and
dangers to them , which they should bo made
lo thoroughly improctuto.
Tins stiilos Iho case as clearly and
fully as any intelligent man can require ,
and the position is founded upon immu
table economic principles and .supported
by all Human experience. It is not cap
ital that sulTurs from a debased and de
preciating currency , but labor. It is not
the manufacturer or mot-chant who
loses when money is steadily decreasing
in purchasing power , but the producers.
There is a volume of sound instruction
in the few sentences uttered by Senator
Sherman.
E.MANCii'ATiON day wan duly cele
brated by Iho colored people ot Oinahn.
Tlioro are few of thorn who recall the
days of actual slavery , but they are all
familiar wilh the importance and signi
ficance of the " : M day of September to
the blacks of the world. They are entitled -
titled in all reason to muko of ( { manci
pation day what tlio Christian makes of
Christinas the American of Independ
ence day and tlio world at largo of Now
Yi-ar. It was by far tlio greatest and
bout dny the African has over been
vouchsafed since the world began. Tin :
HICK hopes to see the colored people of
Omaha make the celebration moro im
portant and moro domonstrativo.ycur by
year as their numbers IncrcaBo in Ihe
city , because it believes they n re cnlilled
lo nil the pleasure the anniversary can

PKi'iiArs the railways have learned
definitely how dangerous ills to attempt
to manipulate convonlions witli the pon-
plo in their present temper and will
govern themselves accordingly. Tlio
railroad politicians two years ago were
BO open and violent in their movements
against the ronomliiation of Judge M. H.
Uooso that the whole stale revolted.
The people reduced tlio vote 01 his huc-
coHsful opponent and bognn the slain-
poito which a year later threatened to
swallow up tlto republican party and
uhich losl the state In congress and
elected a democratic governor. Tlio
railways may not care for these results
but there were some Incidents to tiio
general confusion in which they were
deeply interested. They ought to bo
satisfied that Nebraska will now oxeuso
them from all participation in politics.

corns , as having gone cast with tholr

DKK the figures are given In another
column. Hut it Is no business of any
councilman what a private citizen may
do with his own money. A councilman
represents the taxpayers , and his vote
oncnolracls has to do with the disburse
ment of public money. The people
will grant him the right to make private
contracts with eastern people Involving
his own means , but they will not lolor-
ate a public ofllcial who votes Omaha
money to eastern firms when Omaha
mechanics need and ought to have the
work.

The monthly crop report just Issued by tbo
Agricultural department says In its la-nornl
review , nnd speaking of growing corn :
"There are also return * of Injury from frost
in Ihe Oal" > tai. In Iowa anil Nobra.s a Ino
crop is lute and would have been injured by
frost prior to September 20 , anil needs the
entire month for ripening of Into planted
areas , "
Nebraska's wheat crop U reported as M
per cent full , Iowa and South Dakota each
yo per cent. Hero U a general note on Iowa
crops : "Tho growth of corn Is very largo ,
but Iho excessive cool wcalhor has prevented
early maturing. The last ton days of August
were unfavorable nnd considerable corn is
now only In the milk. The frost of August
21 did no uamago to growing crops , llj'o and
barley have boon harvested in good condi
tion nnd largo yields are being obtained.
Oats are turning out oven bettor than ex-
ttoctod and rxco.ssivo yields arc frequent.
"
The ( | iiullty U good. August rains have
caused some dan ago to grain iu shock and
stocit , but to no great extent. Buckwheat is
growing nicely , but owing to cool weather it
Is not well advanced. Irish potatoes are
yielding enormously. The rot has appeared
In only n few places. Apples are maturing
well , grapes are a week Into but tlioy uro a
fine crop. Owing to the high price of grain
Ihe crop of spring piir.s was small. A large
number of fall pigs will bo raised. "
Thl-j paragraph is found In the report on
South Dakota crops : "Corn was materially
Injured by frosl on August 20 and 2.1. The
blades are very generally killed , but as yet
the .stalks are green. Ilyo , oats and barley
hnvo oeen harvested iu excellent condition.
Ho | > orU from correspondents and thresher
men indicate that these crops were the host
harvested iu years , both as to quantity and
quality. Buekwoat was injured somewhat
by tuo frosts. Potatoes promise unusually
well , although those late planted need rain.
The number of stock hogs aud their condition
ns to wolghl anil size are below the average
owing to the short corn crop of last year. "
The newspaper reporters did a good day's

sulted about these appointments. The so-
