Tho democratic national commltteo has
evidently givon up all hope of carrying tho
election by fair means and Is now resorting
to misleading statements nml posuivo
falsehoods In tho hope of bolstering up Its
poor cause. Itecently thero was Issued
from the national democratic headquarters
a ramnalgn document styled "Tho Trust
nnd Prices" nnd which purported to glvo
"a few reasons why the farmers snouid not
vote the republican ticket." This docu
ment has been printed lu nearly nil tno
democratic papers In tho country, among
them tho Johnson County Journal. Tho
article Is ns follows:
'1. It requires to per cent more wheat to
buy a stovo than it did In 1896.
"2, It requires twenty bushels moro corn
to buy a wagon than It did In 1S06.
'3. It requires 100 per cent more corn or
wheat to buy a copper kettle than In 1896.
"4. It requires twico as much corn to
buy a coll of ropo as in 1896.
'C. It requires To per cent more grain to
buy u hoe. a rako or shovel than In 1890.
"6. A sot of common wheels that cost 7
In 1S96 now cost $12.
"7. Tho price of cultivators and other
farm Implements has gone up proportion
ately. "8, Galvanized barbed wire costs from l
to $ (.50 per hundred more than In 1S96.
"9. It requires 40 per cent more corn or
cotton to buy a pound of susar than In
1896.
"10. You havo to, pay 40 per cent more
for glass than In 1696.
"It. Freight rates havo climbed back to
the exorbitant prices which caused a popu
lar revolt In legislation a few years ago.
"12. Tho prices of oil, coal, lumber, tools
and hardware havo gono up rrom 40 to 100
per cent.
"13. And all theso things have been dono
by tho trusts.
"A trust robs you waking or sleeping,
eating or drinking, working or playing,
living or dying, and tho coffin trust gets you
In tho end."
Every ono of the above thirteen state
ments are falso, as wo will proceed to
show, and the proof can bo verified by any
one who has a disposition to Investigate.
In making the computations tho prices of
wheat, corn, etc., for today are compared
with tho prices of similar commodities
during tho Bame week lu 1S96.
1. Mr. Jones of tho firm of Jones &
Campbell Informs us that a good cook
stove for which he now receives $25 ho sold
for $22 In 1S96, Good wheat Is worth today

week nnd will not Interfere with the toot
ing of horns. At the general meeting yes
terday afternoon tho coumilmeu considered
the ordinance prepared for tho regulation
of the crowds that will be In the city the
week of the Oriental carnival and decided
to withdraw the ban on confetti and horn..
Otherwise the ordinance will remain un
changed, it forbids the throwing of rubber
balls and nil other substances, excepting
confetti, and Is so broad that It will reg
ulate till nuisances common to street fairs
and carnivals.
After somo discussion of the controversy
between the city building Inspector and the
Hoard of Education concerning tho fee for
the High school building permit, the coun
cil decided to grant tho permit to tho board
without cost.
City Engineer Hosewater wns called upou
or an estimate of the co.-t of cl anlng Omaha
streets from now until the firrt of next
year nnd stated that $:.ono would bo re
quired to keep tho streets in as good con
dition ns they have been so far this year.
It Is probable that the council will mnke
arrangements to pay for this work in cer
tificates which will bo redeemed by funding
bonds.

In all probability some hundreds of peo
ple In Omaha who had purposed to see "The
Only Way," the rpmantlc drama with which
tho regular season of Boyd's theater was
Inaugurated last night, changed their In
tention when It was announced that Mr.
Henry Miller had been obliged to leave the
company and hurry to New York for med
ical treatment. For the benefit of such, It
may be stated, at tho very outset, that they
would not. have missed Mr. Miller In the
play, nml that, in remaining away from the
theater, they havo missed what, in all
likelihood, was oue of tho best attractions
that will be seen In the city this season.
Clever as Mr. Miller undeniably Is, nnd
talented as every one knows blm to bo, his
plnco wns more than taken by Mr. Edward
J. Morgan, and In a manner that leaves
llttlo room for legitimate criticism.
Though somber In toue, "The Only Way"
Is a strong and consistent piece of dramatic
writing. Beginning nt a period antedating
the French revolution by nlnotecn years,
anil with the death of a peasant whoso sis
ter had been dishonored by n dissolute
nobleman, It closes in tho dreadful year of
17911, when mobs held tho reins of govern
ment In Paris, and the streets ran red with
blood. Vengeance and death and love are
the motifs that dominate the action. A
vengeance that would visit the sins of the
fathers upon tho children; a love that,
though unspoken, prompts the giving of ono
life to save another; death nn tho guillo
tine, when heads fell as ripened apples
drop from overladen boughs In autumn all
these combine to make a picture whoso
somberness is unrelieved, save by the ono
act in which Is represented the garden In
Soho. It Is true, the human shambles nro
kept out of sight, but that tho bloody work
Is going on Is attested by the bowlings of
the frenzied mob, as, eager for more blood
It greets each candidate for the knlfo with
shouts of derisive glee. Whether sugges
tions of this kind are healthful It Is not for
the critic to decide. Tho question Is rnther
ono for tho neurologist.
It has been said already tint Mr. Mil
ler's absenco from tho compuny was not
five bushels of wheat today to buy the same
stovo that It took tlfty-fivo bushels to buy
In 1896. Instead of taking 50 per cent moro
wheat to buy a Htovc than It did In 1S9G
It takes IS per cent less.
2. Wo learn from Buorstetta & Mcl'herrln
that a good wagou which today sells for $00
was sold for $57 in 1896. Corn Is today
worth 31 rents per bushel. In 1896, this
weok, It was worth 12 cents. Therefore,
today It takes 191 bushels uf corn to buy a
wagon, when In 1896 It took 475 bushels to
buy tho samo wagon, Instead of taking
twenty bushels moro corn to buy a wagon
than It did in 1890 It actually takes 281
bushels less, Tho amount of corn required
to buy a wagon In 1890 will buy two wagons
and leave a margin of $26.97 besides.
3. Copper wns worth 20 cunts per pound
in 1896. It Is worth 35 cents per pound
today. Tho advance Is 75 per cent. Corn
has advanced 160 per cent. Instead of re
quiring 100 per cent moro corn to buy a
copper kettle than it did In 1896 it actually
requires about CO per cent less.
4. Mr. Jones tells us thnt ropo retailed for
S cents per pouud In lsl'O and for l-'i
cents per pound today. Tho advance has
been 56 per cent. Com has advanced 160
per cunt. One hundred bushels ot com In
1896 would buy 150 puunds of rope. Today
JUU bushels of corn will buy 218 pounds of
rope. Instead of requiring twice as much
corn to buy a coll of ropo than It did In
1896 It actually requires nearly a half less.
5. Wo get tho Information from Mr. Jones
that hoes, rakes, shovels and similar goods
havo advanced ubout 20 per cent since 1S96.
A tool of that kind that cost $1.25 In 1890
cobts $1.50. Measured by corn, ten and
cno-half bushols would havo bought It lu
1S96; five bushels will buy It today. Meas
ured by wheat, thrco und three-fourths
bushels would have bought It In 1896; two
and two-thirds bushels will buy It now.
Compare theso figures with tho statement
in No, 5.
6 and 7. Buerstetta &. Mcl'herrln Inform
us that tho prices on a sot of common
wheelB and on cultivators and othor farm
Implements are practically tho same as
they were four years ago, nnd that next
seaon prices on all such goods will bo 10
por cent lower.
8. The charge that galvanized barb wire
Is now $4.50 per hundred higher than it
was In 1896 Is manifestly absurd when It
Is stated that such wiro is sold In the
Tecumseh murket today for only $4.05 por
hundred. It wus worth $3.05 por hundred
In 1S96 and Is now worth $1.05 per hun
dred, at retail. The palntrd wlro can bo
bought for $3,75 per hundred.
9, Sugar tn this market today is worth
a little less than 8 cents per pound. In
missed, and this ts equivalent to saying
that Mr Morgan Is his equal as n romantli
sctor. Perhaps It might be safe to go
even further, and make the assertion that,
Judging Mr. Miller by what wo hae sen
of him In the past Mr. Morgan, nt least tn
tho play under consideration, did work of
which his predecessor In tho part Is not
curable. For one entire net, he did n t
leave tho stage a tremendous strain, Ii
will bo couceded, nnd one that puts an
actor's merits to tho most crucial test
That he obtained and held the attention
cf his auditors throughout the entire
scene Is tribute enough to his ability
That with each successive appearance his
work Increased in power the ovation he
received at tho end of every act bore wit
ness. Woven Into his work were a dare
devil recklessness that was strangely re
mlulscent cf Mansfield In "The Devil's Dis
ciple;" n tenderness that was womanly
and full cf gentleness that bespol e n-dile
soul, and love for one so far above him that
ho Bve up his life. To express these
emotions requires a muster In the art of
acting and such Mr. Morgan proved him
self to be. He hns n line stage presence, a
full, musical voice, a graceful carnage and
a foco so mobile that It reflects every
passing emotion as water mirrors the
clouds that float above It. Some day he
will bo counted one of the great men of
tho stage, and that, too, before many years
havo passed.
Supporting Mr. Morgan was n compiny,
the members of which were adequate to
the work assigned thorn. J. 11. Stoddart,
one of the deans of the American stage,
Is In tho company nnd tho welcome he
received when ho made his entrance must
have convinced him that ho was among
friends. Good work was done by Messrs.
Frank McGlyun In the dual role of Jean
Dcfurge and Ernest Defnrge, by D. II.
llarklns us Dr. Manetto, Kurlo Browne ns
Charles Darney and Misses Mnrgaret
Itoblnson and draco F.lllston as I.urie
Mauette and Mlml, respectively. Th
mountlugs of the piece left nothing to re
desired.
ItllUllme by ttetlKleitl
The efilcacy of tho ras-tlmo Idea In call
ing forth a tremeudous crowd of Omaha
people has proved Itself. Omnha people
turned out In full force and patiently sat or
stood through n program whose principal
feature was monotony.
Hundreds of people went to sec what rag
time really was and It was n pleasure to seo
a srore of the best representative musicians
who wore present ngrced on oue subject,
namolv, that rag-time was very much of a
bore, because there was so llttlo variety. It
wns a sequence of boom-tara-rararara-sls-boom-chug,
without much varlntlon. Hun
dreds of peoplu who thought they would
like It, left at Intermission satiated.
A great trade In peanuts nnd nn upward
rise in thnt stock accompanied the first
number. Peopln munched throughout tho
first movements, their Jaws keeping fairly
good time, but Mr. Bellstcdt mado somo er
rors In tho tempo.
A good-natured spirit of conversation nnd
hubbub marked tho playing of the second
number and that was exceedingly enjoynblo,
Inasmuch as It helped tho music consider
ably. The Uellstedt forces are usually good In
Interpretation, but last night either Mr.
Bellstcdt or tho wood-winds failed to bring
out sulllclently the A. D. T. motive In the
"1 Hain't Seen No Messenger Boy." The
time was too fast. Messenger boys are not.
Another s-ymphony, entitled. "Two Oddi
ties," was very badly presented, nn entire
absence of the strings being noticed, while
the pianissimo effects of the cymbals were
so delicate that they could not be over
heard. A piece by tho Iniquitous Ver Allstcln
was played and then the rain came down
In torrents. It could hold back no longer.
Tho beautiful nnd exquisite "Georgia
Campmectlng" symphony by Wagner Pull
man Mills proved Interesting to those
discerning ones who can analyze. The
pathos of tho watermelon "motif" nnd
tho grand virility of tho "crap" thomc
hroused wild enthusiasm. Too much
pralso cannot bo given to tho piccolo and
tuba players for their harmonious klang
tlnt. Tho symphonic poem, "Susanna,"
founded on the Immortal "Ode to u sardine
sandwich" by Epicurus, showed tho band
to great advantage, one part being sta
tioned on tho bandstand and another part
on the Council Bluffs brldgo or there
abouts. Hero tho nntlphonal effects wero
worthy of Beethoven, Schumann, Wagner,
Berllvz, Shakespeare, Sharkey, Fltzslm
mons and all the great masters of music.
Tho Intermission was a very enjoyable
featuro of tho program, but It did not last
Ions onough. The best thing the band did
was tho last event, where they left tho
platform nnd did not come back. However,
they havo added green laurels to their
brows and greenbacks to tho boxolllcc.
And hero endeth tho first lesson of the
Omaha musical festival.
1S0C It was worth C cents per pound. Today
ono bushel of corn will buy four pounds
of sugar. In 1S00 ono bushel ot corn
would buy two pounds of sugar. The
reader can Judge whother or not It takes
"40 per cent moro corn to buy a pound of
sugar than In 3S0C."
10. Mr. Jones tolls us that tho advanco
on glass over tho prlco In 1S0G does not
exceed 20 per cent, und probably Is not
that much. So far us tho rotull trade
here Is concerned It Is scarcely noticeable.
Measured by corn, twice us much glass
can bo bought now for 100 bushels of that
grain as could bo bought lu 1890.
11. Agent C. M. Miller ot the H. & M.
Informs us that tho freight rates to und
from Tecumseh aro practically tho same
us they wero four years ago. Ho could not
rccull whero thero nnd been any advance
save in salt and lumber, which aro now S
cents per hundred higher than In ISfiO, Cer
tainly thero has been no "exorbitant" ad
vance. 12. Oil and coal sell at practically the
same prlco in Tecumseh toduy that they
did in 18SC. They huvo not ndvnnced "10
to 100 per cent." Tho falso statement re
garding tho prlco of tools and hardware
has already been refuted. Dimension lum
ber has advanced from 40 to 43 per cent,
but even with that advance 100 bushoib
of corn toduy will buy 1,600 feet of sucb
lumbor, when In ISSti it would buy but ".',(
feet.
13. If theso things havo been dono by thi
trusts, then surely tho farmers havu no
rcubon to compluln ot tho trusts, tor agri
cultural commodities havo ndvanced mort
than any others. However, It Is not the
trusts that aro responsible, but rather the
system of protection und financial stability
that camo Into voguo with the advent ot
tho republican party. Idle manufacturing
establishments wero opened, labor wai
given ample employment ut good wages,
tho homo murket was thus mado better
und now markets wero created. Theso con
dltlous ended tho hurd times and brought
general prosperity, nnd undoubtedly tho
nutlon will contlnuo to prospor so long a
republican principles prevail. Are not tho
times good enough? Then why should any-
ono voto for a change?
It will bo soon from tho above that tht
statements mado In tho democratic clrcu
lar under consideration nre a tissue ot
falsehood from beginning to eud. Vha
must bo the general opinion of a great po
litical party that will resurt to such will'
ful deception In order to projudlce tho
public mind? If It Is so brazenly dishonest
In this instance is It safe to credit any of
Us alleged statements ot fact!
