Tun oxcitcmont ever the primaries must not conceal the fact that the pav- Itifj contracts are in a worse box than over. IT WAS certainly an inscrutable act of Providence which compelled this coun try to endure another day of this congress. IF CANADA won't reciprocate , wo shall show her how to retaliate. And there is lots of dilTuionco , as Canndn. is finding out by siul experience. VAST asphalt works are being oatnb- lishcd by French manufacturers at Long Island City. This is another fearful robbery by tlio McKinley tariff. No ONE ever supposed , before Con gressman Watson told it , that any member of the house drank anything Btrontror than weak tea. Tisis an awful shock. Tin : Century dictionary , a. pretty fair authority , defines free trade as a tariff for rovonuo. And yet wo are now told that the democratic party is not a free trade pnrty. THAT Wilmington , Del. , editor who has boon appointed minister to Porsm is certainly a bravo man. Most of us would prefer to wait for the cholera in- Btoad of rushing forward to embrace it. EMFKROK WILLIAM has fallen out with Cnprivi and may retire him with Bismarck. It is pretty hard to satisfy ttio young monarch nnd wo fear ho maybe bo finally brought to finding fault with himself.

WATSON of Goorein has told congress - gross snmo wonderful facts , and congress is simply paralyzed with astonishment. This can ho attributed to the fact that floiuo of the members are not in the house long enough to know what is go ing on. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Tun Now York Central will have on exhibition at the World's fair a fuc sltnilo of the first railroad train ever run in America. To find fac similes , of the pnssongors on that train that road ncod two only the Now York congressman who voted against the World's fair ap propriation. THK World's fair people seem to bo on top in congress just now. The other Bide has fllibtiitorod away its day of grace and now that the appropriation day has expired the W. P. folks can filibuster until the malcontents are com pelled to glvo in. For the government must hava money to run itself. IT WILL not bo possible for Chicago to retain permanently all the people who have Hocked there during the last two years of the World's fair building. The favor will ho allayed when the exposi tion is at an end. And Omaha will of necessity receive many people who thus leave Chicago , many of whom have boon hero before. So that it nocd not Burpr'is.i us to hoar of a great Increase of population for Omaha and other western cltlosln ] 891 and the greatest in- uroaso will bo in that city will oh prpin- isos most employment for the working- men. Omalm should prepare to DO that city. IN OMAHA , as In every other city , in creased business activity and growth in population are Infallibly indicated by increased demands upon the postal nor- vlco. Postmaster Olnrkson has just been authorized by the Poatolfico de partment to appoint flvo mom carriers to moot the growing requirements of the service hero. While this is not a largo addition to the force it is Interesting to nota that at a comparatively dull season of the year the business of the postofllco is constantly increasing. The number of curriers and subcurriors la now seven ty-four , whorotia there wore only forty- llvo carriers connected with the oflleo two years ago. Such a rapid increase ns this can only moan that thuro has boon u correspondingly rapid growth in the business of the olllco , resulting from increased population and a go n oral ox- patiBion of trade and other iutoreuU em ploying the mulls. KO liOODl.K ( M.V'Ma.Y. More thnn two wcoksago Dr. Mercer roqupstcd Tim Dun in a letter ever his own-niimo to announce his withdrawal from the gubernatorial canvass , coupled with n grateful expression for thomtp- ' port ho hnd received. The friends of Dr. Mercer in this county and nil ever the stitto treated this announcement us a positive declina tion nnd governed themselves accord ingly. Dr. Mercer was considered out of the race and delegates chosen to con ventions have been ollhor directly or ndireolly pledged to other candidates. This was the condition in Omaha nnd Joiiglas county up to within the past orty-clght hours. And now some of the vonul followers , corporation malingers ind fool friends of Dr. Mercer are , rying to get him endorsed by the Douglas county convention. This i.s nothing more nor loss than an attempt to opoil a boodle campaign vliloh Dr. Murcor is-to bo bled out of .hotisands . of dollars , and the party is to bo led to the slaughter. Against such a piocu of stupendous folly Tin : Hun entuis an earnest remonstrance. Dr. Morcur had a right to bo a cantli- dn'to for governor , and if ho had sub- nittcd his name to the voters of this county and onrrlod the primaries in a 'air ' ami opjn contest TlIU Diu would Imvo exerted till its influence to secure its nomination at the hands of the state convention. But Dr. Mercer did lot see lit to ask for an endorsement. Llis candidacy w.is not considered at the larty caucuses or primaries. There has been no revulsion of public bontimont , lmt could be construed ns a dcm.ind for lia becoming the republican standard joaror. A largo majority of the dole- jatos elected are committed to Judge Jrounso in response to the prevailing sentiment. Any attempt to change ronl on the part of these delegates will bo ascribed to mercenary motives or pressure from corporate influences. This is not a year for boodle cam paigning. The republican party cannot iiopo to succeed by a wholesale purchase of delegates or of voters. Dr. Mercer lias a reputation at stake which would bo tarnished by permitting himself to bo dragged into a boodle campaign that is sure to end in disaster to the p.xrty and disgrace to himself. A \"lC10Tir FOll ( SHA1X The decision of the senate to postpone action on the anti-option bill until the next session is a distinct victory for the gamblers in food products. They are assured , perhaps , at least another year of unrestricted operations , and at any rnto they will bo permitted to manipulate the ' without lot hin present year's crop or drance. They have reason to congratu late themselves upon having brought the sonalo to a compliance with thdir wishes. It is believed that a majority of the members of the senate are in favor of legislation to put a stop ro speculation in the food products of the country , and if such Is the case they ought to have in sisted upon action on the measure at this session , but the evident determination of the opponents of the bill to keep up an endless talK ugalnst it appears to have led to the conclusion that it would bo hardly possible to reach a vote at this session. What seems to bo true is that the friends of the bill were less courage ous and tenacious than its enemies. Ono thing has been accomplished as the result of the proposed legislation , and that is tlio very thorough discussion of the svstom of speculation bv "options" and "futures. " The contributions to tliis method of gambling are very ex tensive and complete , and the advocates of the suppression of this speculation , so far as it is illegitimate , have no reason to * regret the controversy. A candid comparison of the arguments must convince unpiojudiccd people that there is no adequate defense for the pre vailing syctcin of gambling in food pro ducts , and that inevitably either the producers or the consumers suffer from the effects of it. It is n practice that takes no account whatever of sup ply and demand , and any system of dealing which disrocards this law cannot bo beneficial. All the in genuity of lawyers , assisted by the shrewd speculators themselves , in find ing specious reasons in defense of specu lation by options and futures did not succeed in showing that it is anything else than an unmixed ovil. As to the plea that to do away with this specula tion would revolutionize the business of the country , it is manifestly absurd. \Vfly should gambling bo essential to business in this country and not in others ? If it were proposed to put a stop to all dealing for future delivery there would bo ground for this plea , but that is not the intention. It is not designed - signed to interfere with genuine trans actions for future delivery , but only such as are unmistakably lllogltimato , and there can bo no difficulty in determining what these aro. The position of the supporters of anti-option legislation is stronger now than it wan when the discussion began. The arguments they have presented have not boon successfully answered by the opposition , nnd the latter has un doubtedly done the very best it could. The postponement of action on the anti-option bill will not weaken the po.sltlon of its supporters , but should rather strengthen It , and it is a safe prediction that the measure will pass at the next session of the sonuto. x i'iuntiN3i. The grain producers as well as the grain shippers of the west have some in terest , in the long waterway that con nects the great hikes with the sea. Kor many yoara the Erie canal has boon a powerful factor in the regulation of rates of transportation from Luke Krio to the eastern markets , and upon its maintenance has depended to a great degree the competition which has con trolled frolght rates 'from the west to the euat. It IB not good news to the grain growers and shippers of the west that tralllo on the Erlo canal is in u serious state of decline. The business on that important waterway has fallen otf greatly of Into , and this yoiir , according to creditable reports from Bulfulo , It U in a worse condition than ever boforo. It docs not appear to bo due entirely to the railroad competition that the boat men have become discouraged. It would bo cheaper to carry freight by water than by land under favorable circum stances ; hut Itappoirs that it is now Impossible for the canal boUs to carry full loads of grain on account of a lack of water In the canal. Ono of the boat man says that if the depth of water could ho Increased to about so von foot there would bo n profit in the c.uml business , because that would enable the boats to carry larger loads , and thus their profits would bo increased. But there seams to bo llttlo likelihood that the canal will bo improved. There is a strong fooling in the state of Now York ngalr.st such an expenditure of money as this would require. Some idea of the straits to which the canal men are reduced may bo had from the fact that ono of the eldest boatmen reports that his expenses for two boats on his last round trip exceeded his earnings - ings by $10.50. A few of the more shrewd and successful boittnon : have managed to make both ends moot , but the general testimony of the boat-owners is that the business Is ruinous. At this distance llttlo interest would bo foil in the matter if it were not for the fact that the canal is tlio most im portant outlet for western grain. Grain shippers in BulTalo siy ; that the rail roads hun'dlc grain almost us cheaply as the canal and glvo a moro speedy ser vice ; but the fact remains that the canal is chiefly responsible for low rates of transportation , and upon its mainten ance depends the continuance of the rates which now prevail. Railroads have generally succeeded in mooting each other upon some scheme of com bination , but the canal has always boon the lowest bidder for freight across the state of Now York. If it should cease to bo a competitor of the railroads there would bo u speedy rise in tlio rate of transportation from the lakes to the Atlantic ocean. The western grain grower or shipper can do nothing to remedy the matter unlot-s ho should have a chance to favor the building of tlio proposed ship canal from Buffalo to the Iludhoii river. This project contemplates the enlargement of the Erlo canal to sufficient proportions tions fo admit ships , and in case it should bo carried out the vessels which now carry grain from the great lake ports of 1110" west to Buffalo would proceed - coed through to Nov York without los ing time or money by transshipment of their cargoes' There are some serious obstacles'in the way of this project , but it is ono of the possibilities of the fu ture. The western states are deeply interested in the problem of cheap transportation to the Atlantic ocean , * and the time may not bo far distant when something will bo done in the di rection of opening the way for the great grain-carrying ships of the lakes to pass through to Now York by a shorter and moro practicable route thnn is now offered them. in/r 'run VKOPLR AUK nunso. It may safely bo stated as an abstract proposition that in a period free from abnormal speculation and over-borrow ing the people uo not consume raoro of the products of the country than they can pay for. During the first six months of 189tlio volume of speculation was not unusual ; there were remarkably few wildcat schemes afloat ; borrowing aud trading were conducted upon a con servative basis ; collections were re ported good everywhere ; and yet the people consumed moro of the country's mnrlllr ta liv fun thm t.hnv llml num ( Innn before in the sumo length of timo. The natural deduction from these facts is that the poverty of the people , of which so much is now hoard from some sources , is a myth , and that the cry about hard times is unsupported by the present condition of the country. In the nature of things there will al ways bo many in poverty and distress , but the pcoplo ns a whole must alone bo considered in trying to determine whether the present is a period of pop ular prosperity or not When the masses are especially poor the contrac tion of their purchases immediately makes itself felt in the channels of trado. They do not buy because thov cannot , and so the general volume of consumption fulls olT. But the increased consumption during the first six months of this y6ar affords unquestionable proof that the masses are buying goods , and the easy money market and free collections show that they are able to pay for what they purchase. The quantity of Iron used In manufac ture during the first half of this year was greatly in excess of the record of any previous six months , notwithstand ing tlio great falling oil in railroad building. The.Increase of iron pur chased and used is estimated at half a million tons. The consumption of wool for use in manufacture Is about 10 par cent greater than during any previous six months. The quantity of cotton nsbd by spinners in the same period is shown to bo greatly in excess of the record of any previous six months , nnd in both woolens and cottons it appears that the stocks of unsold goods on hand are smaller than usual. Clothlors report larira demands for both heavy and light weight woolen goods , and mills are mo/o fully employed than fora long time past. In cotton goods the stocks on hand un sold are not only small , but the print cloth market is reported practically bare. In the boot nnd shoo trade the manufacturers are supplied with orders for months ahead and are crowded with urgent demands for the delivery of goods ahead of the time expected , because traders have boon loft short in their stocks by a moro rapid distribution limn they had anticipated. In the articles commonly classed as luxuries the son- sumption also eliows a largo increase ever that of previous years , which moiiiib , of course , that the paoplo are buying these articles moro freely than o\or boforo. If it Is true , as those facts seem to plainly indicate , that the power of the people to purchase and pay fov. the pro ducts of the various industries is now greater than ever before in the history of the country , upon what ground can it bo alleged that the prosperity of the present Is not secure , or that- the hope of the future.lies In a radical overturn- ingot the settled and orderly system upon which the business of the country now rests ? Tlio consciousness that the present is better ihtn I he pist , and that the fiilanci tl , iwjrjxl and souinl In to rests of the country nrr moving steadily to ward n hlghu ! ) | ) Juio , ought to bring contentment tqi tdio mind of every rational man. " " .1 nnuiyixty ixuusritr. The special ajjont of tlu Treasury do- piu-tmont who 'ml' ? baon Investigating the tin imliulrxbifn the United States has submitted ivr6jHort which shows that the now indus. ry is b.'comtng firmly established. In-utu'o throe months end ing with Juno last the production of tin and terno ptatoj was ovjr 8.000.0JO pounds , as ag.ilnst iOJIWT ! ( pounds the preceding ijuartji- , and U233OJJ pounds In tbo six months before that , ft Is thus shown that lii a year there has boon pro duced In the United .Statos 13BIO,830 pounds of tin nnd turno" plato , two-thirds of which was made in the last three months. The history of no other industry in this country shows a moro rapid progress - gross than tills. Prior to the passage of the UirilT law of 18')0 ' ) there was no tin pinto industry In the Unttol States , not withstanding the fact that wo are the largest COIISUUIUM in the world of tin plates In the twenty years from 1871 to 1S9J wo paid for these necessary arti cles to foreigners the immense sum of $ ; ! 07,00,00 [ ) ; ) , exclusive of freights aud Importers' profits , upon a total importa tion of ! ! ,022,7oO gross tons. Up to this time there his boon invested in this in dustry at least $3,000,000 , and the capac ity of the works already established and projected is estimated to bo 213,000,000 pounds a year , more than one-third of the imports into the Unltod States and nearly 81 1)00,000 ) pounds In excess of the total consumption of Great Britain. The progress of the tin industry hero is causing uneasiness to the Welsh tinplate plato ( triis.t. Representatives of the combination who have investigated the situation in the United States report that there is reason to fear the Amer ican output will soon fall but llttlo short of ono-llftli of the entire consumption. There is obviously ground for this fear , and as evidence of the impression the report has made it is stated that the trust is using not only its regular pro duct but its warehouse stores to crush out the American producers. Largo quantities of plato havoboon , shipped to this country at prices which are the lowest ever known. It has boon pre sumed , says an eastern paper , that this plato is bointr sold at loss than the actual cost of production , but if that presumption is unfounded it can only bo inferred that for. many years the Welsh trust has boon wringing from American consumers a stupendous profit every year. If this profit bo taken at only a few dollars per tort'it seems safe to say that within the ms\ two decades it has amounted to many millions of dollars. The Welsh tin matiufaoturors do not concur in the democratic opinion that' the tin industry cannot bo carried to success in this country. On the contrary , they admit thatthere ; is no-reason why it may not bo built up bore to very largo proportions , and hey , show by their conduct that thojaro fearful it will be. In ordnr to accomplish this , however , tlio industry inustliayo moderate protec tion , and this the democratic party pro poses it shall not havo. That party nsists upon applying free trade to tin , n policy with which the Welsh manu facturers are in hearty sympathy , but which there is roabon to believe does not have the approval of a majority of the American pcoplo. Mr. Cleveland has said that the democracy is not a de structive party. There can bo no ques tion as to its desire to destroy the Amer ican tin plate industry. ONCE in a while , so seldom that it constitutes an epoch , a democratic editor unconsciously tolls the truth. The Chicago Times very clearly and unmistakably states the position of the democratic platform on the tariff in a way which republican organs should onvy. And yet the Times is not a free trade paper and is opposed the tariff plank as ndoptod ; but it has swallowed its crow and hero is its remarkable declaration , which must settle forever tlio bourbon claim that the democracy is not pledged to free trade : "Tho democratic platform has declared that the tariff bill id unconstitutional. It has pronounced protection a robbery and n fraud , and it has declared for a tariff for revenue only not qualified , ns Mr. Wnttorson qualified it in 1888 , but simply and positively a revenue that shall absolutely iguoro the claims of protectionists , big or litllo. The object of the constitution being the general welfare , il is claimed that a tariff pro tecting special intorcsts cannot bo con stitutional , and it having boon pro nounced that protection is grand larceny it is not lor the democratic party to compromise by approval of petit larceny. There is to bo no protection in thoovont of democratic success. " Tun weekly traOo review of R. G. Dun & Co. shows a highly gratifying state of business throughout the .country , not withstanding that it covers n period that was marked by the/prevalence of exces sive heat everywhere , a condition that always has a rosslng ofiot't upon trado.

It Is aa a whole a very gratifying statement. The Into general rains have boon highly beneficial to corn and there is now every reason to expect that the total crop will bo as largo as that of lust year and of equally good quality. There nro sections of the state , it Is true , In which the yield will not bo up to an av erage , but wo speak of the general out look. The crop of winter wheat will , It Is estimated , exceed that of last yonr and o it , b.arloy and rye will bo up to the highest standard. Tlio outlook could not lie more favorabln for all grains , and It appears safe to predict that the crop year of 1802 will bo ono of the greatest in the history of Nebraska nnd It will not bo surprising It it shall take the first rank. AMHUICAX wire nails cost hero 1J cents per pound. English wire nails cost there 1 } fonts per pound and with the tariff added should cost hero 31 cents per pound. The American work man is paid $2.50 per day and the En glish workman is paid $1 per day. What a horrible tax this Is on Ameri can laborers and mechanics.
