BEATRICE. Neb., Sept. 21.-(Speclal.)
The annual conference of the Nebraska
Methodist Episcopal church convened In
Beatrice last evening for the first time In
eleven years. During that time there have
been many changes and the conference has
grown, many new charges having been
added to the list. Beatrice first appeared In
the conference minutes as an appointment

preacher In the person of Rev. D. H. May,
father of Mrs. O. P. Marvin of this city.
The first class consisted of five members.
In 18tit Rev. Mr. Tlnkhnm, father of Mrs.
Blakely of this city located In Beatrice, and
with his family united with the church, In
creasing the membership to nine. From
this small beginning has grown the Metho
dist church of Beatrice, the membership
now numbering about TOO.
' Nearly 200 ministers arrived in the city
yesterday to be present at the opening of
the conference, which convened In Cen
tenary Methodist Episcopal church last
evening. Rev. C. M. Shephard of Hebron

Democrats He fuse to Endorse the
I'nuullnt .Nominee.
SCTirYLER, Neb., Sept. 21. (Special
Telegram.) The democrats and populists
have always called their county conven
tions on the same day and combined on
candidates, which were divided as per pre.
arrangement. Today saw the parting of
the wnys. The keynote of the separation
was sounded before the convention by H.
E. Phelps of tho Howell Journal and the
whole song was sung when the populists,
after having chosen J. M. Devlne by In
formal ballot as candidate for representa
tive, sent a committee to confer with the
democrats. The customary proposition
promptly precipitated an active. If not
acrimonious, consideration of the matter.
The result was as one stated, the throwing
of the committee over the transom.
After the action of the democrats candi
dates were decidedly Infrequent, there hav.
Ing been numerous trials for a democratic
candidate for representative before Frank
J. Henry, ex-superintendent of public In
struction on the fusion tlcJtft, accepted it.
Frank Cuba, ex-county Judge, doclined to
accept the nomination for county attorney,
although before the convention he was
considered a candidate. George H. Thomas
consented to accept after being watted upon
by a pressure committee. R. B. Folda
was nominated for commissioner of district
No. 3.
Mr. Devlne declined to accept and the
populists had little less difficulty In getting
candidates, Clifford Van Housen being
nominated for representative,' J. A. Grlml
son for county attorney and Charles Cain
for commlnsloner.

that the proti-i tlve tariff is IncoiiMis u-nl
with the extension of our lorcign commerce
is thus denied by actual resuus. In con
sidering; the effect of the respective tariff
pollritB of the republican and democratic
parties, we are fortunately able to consult
past experience. What a revenue tariff
will accomplish we know, for we have
hitherto seen how It has arrested Indiistriul
development and embarrassed enterprise to
the injury of beta Ii'.Iimi hm.i cat'liai.
ISelthpr escapes its nllfrhting enects.
Commercial reciprocity with foreign
countries "consistent with the principles of
protection" lias long been one of the well
recognized policies of the republican party.
The present administration, in the face of
serious democratic opposition, secured a
treaty of reciprocity with Cuba which prom
ises to give us control of a large share of
the commerce of that Island.
Both Presidents McKlnlcy and Roosevelt
attempted to negotiate a treaty of reci
procity with Canada. That subject, to
gether with the Alaskan boundary and
other matters, was submitted to a Joint
high commission for consideration, but the
differences which arose between the Ameri
can and the Hritish commissioners with
respect to the boundary made It Impossible
for the commission to agree upon any of
the remaining subjects submitted for Its
determination.
The Amoiicjin commissioners desired to
remit the boundary dispute to the two gov
ernments and to proceed with the consid
eration of all other Questions, Including
reciprocity, but the Rrltlsh commissioners
declined to proceed further while tho boun
dary remained undetermined. Subsequently
the boundary commission was created and
the boundary line has been settled, but no
agreement has been reached 'or further
consideration of the remaining questions
embraced In the protocol. It Is hop.d that
the two governments may be able W. ngree
In due course to take up the subject of
reciprocity with Cnnada according to the
principles lnld down in the republican na
tional platform.
Antl-'l'rnst Lefrlslntlon.
The platform appropriately recognizes
combinations of capital and labor as the
outgrowth of our economic development,
and as entitled to the equal protection nud
subject to the like restrictions of the law.
The administration has enforced the Sher
man anti-trust uct, which was of repub
lUan origin, in cases where combinations
have been formed in violation of Us pro
visions. Tho law, which wus regarded as
ineffective by a democratic administration,
has been Invoked by the president against
combinations In restraint of wholesome
commerce und it has been upheld by tiie
courts.
The congress last year enacted a law to
expedite the hearing and determination of
suits arising under the anti-trust and inter
state commerce acts, so that the ends of
Justice might not be defeated by delay. It
created the Department of Commerce and
Ijubor, with nuthorlty to obtain necessary
Information with respect to the creation
and operation of corporations engaKed In
lnter-state commerce. It also amended the
inter-state commerce law so as effectually
to abolish the pernicious system of rebates
under which largo shippers could crush
their smuller competitors. These ure Im
portant, practical steps taken by a repub
lican president and a republican congress
for the protection of the people against the
encroaenmeuts of combined capital.
The democratic party has done nothing
toward safeguarding legitimate Interests
and restraining combinations effected for
extortion or other improper purposes. It
proposes as a principal remedy for unjust
combinations to remove the tariff from
trust-made goods, thereby inviting the for
eign pioducer to occupy our home market
in an attempt to rcgulutu our own indus
tries. It has assumed tiiat the so-called
trusts are either created or fostered by the
tariff. Tho assumption is fallacious. Trust
are found In free-trade countries und thej
control commodities In this country whlcu
are ujon tho free list.
The republican party is moro direct and
rational. It does not strike down good and
bad alike. It invokes the authority of con
gress and the power of the courts to deal
with specific, well-defined combinations In
restraint of the rights and interests of the
people. It Is as insistent upon the pro
tection of capital employed In wholesome
enterprise as In preventing its use in con
travention of the public interests.
The convention very properly declared it
"to be the duty of the republican parly to
uphold the gold standard." There Is no
more Important duty than to maintain the
stability and the character of the money
of the people. Their manifold exchanges
should be effected in a currency as free
from blemish as the national Integrity. The
repibllcan party has ueen essentially the
guardian of the financial credit of the
country, and the steadfast supporter of
sound currency. It has maintained the na
tional credit ana preserved the soundness
of our monetary system against persistent
and powerful opposition.
The money question has seemed to be
settled at various times, but the contest
has been revived by the enemies of sound
money whenever they have thought that
they might be successful. We shoirtd not
relax cur vigilance in upholding the In
tegrity of our currency so long us a con
siderable element of our country are ut
war with it. When democratic candidates
oannot hope to win preferment In a na
tional convention vithout Industriously
concealing their monetary views, and when
democratic national and state conventions
dare not declare their faith In the virtue
of the gold standard, the hour has not ar
rived when the forces of sound money
should disband and leave the field.
Stability of Monetary Standard.
We not only established the gold stand
ard, but we provided such safeguards as
will maintain our Bilver und paper cur
rency at a purity with It. But all of this
may be changed at any time by a hostile
congress, or endangered by an unfriendly
secretary of the treasury. Our past ex
perience warns us that It Is only a ques
tion of time when those who are always
opposed to a sound monetary policy will
again seek to overthrow it.
The republican convention did well not
only to pledgo anew our fidelity to the gold
standard, but to declare its purpose to up
hold "the Integrity and value of our na
tional currency." There should be nn
equivocation ur doubt as to our inflexible
purpose, not only to maintain the gold
standard, but to keep all silver and paper
currency at a parity with It.
The assumption that the gold standard
Is "Irrevocably established" does violence
to the law. It was established by an act
of congress, but congress may alter, amend
or repeal that act at any time. It Is no
more Irrevocably established than are our
tariff schedules. The one may be changed
as readily us the other.
Sound Vnoney Is so vital to our welfare,
ao Important to our industrial development
that we should let Its open enemies or neg
ative friends know thut we abate nothing
of our determination to uphold and de
fend It.
Since 1894 we have Improved the system
as well as Increased the volume of our
currency. We have now In circulation
.',B1,151,BI7, or MO,W2,Ou8 more than we
hud seven years ugo. The increase has not
been due alone to the larger yield of gold,
for J262,669,6ol, or nearly SO per cent of ths
Increase, Is composed of silver and national
bank notes, which, under thu, republican
policy, are essentially the equivalent of
gold.
If in the future the exigencies of business,
which no wisdom can now foresee, should
make additional monetary or financial
legislation advisable, the republican party
may be intrusted to eiuict it along rational
lines.
The president's course In Panama merits
the most generous approval. Hi dealt with
a lillcate and difficult situation clearly
within our national rights In such a way
aa to make possible the early completion
of an Isthmian cuiihI, which has long been
demanded In the Interest of our commerce
und the national defense,
lit concluded the negotiations with Great
Ttrltaln for the abrogation of the Clayton
Hiilwer treaty, lie negotiated a treaty
with the Hepubllo of Colombia for the
requisite rights and franchises for the con
struction und operation of a canal. Its
ratification was contemptuously refused by
the Colombian government. Thereupon the
people of 1'anama renounced their allegi
ance to the parent government and de
clared their Independence. The president,
acting within the limits of his executive
authority, and in conformity with well
established precedent, promptly recognized
their independence. He negotiated a treaty
with Panama, whereby the I'nlted Stales
obtained the necessary rights and fran
chises fur building and operating the canal.
Work on 1'anama Canal.
When the Insurrection occurred upon the
Irthmus, the president safeguarded Ameil
can interests. He acted promptly, but de
liberately; prudently, not rashly; firmly,
not unlawfully. He usurped no authority.
He only exercised that executive power
which I clwuiy vested in him by the con
stitution, and which bis predecessor had
employed under similar circumstance. If
he had failed to appreciate our rights, or
to act hrmly and promptly, blooo would
have been shed and the rights of Ameri
can citizens would have been sacrificed, and
the construction of the canal would have
been Indefinitely delayed.
The piisiueul 111 uue time appointed a
commission composed of eminent engineers
and men of practical experience to under
take the worn of constructing the canal as
speedily as practicable. Theie is no longer
any doubt or uncertainty as to the enter
prise. Its completion Is now an assurred
tact, and it will stand as one of the
memorable achievements of the new cen
tury. The completion of this great work should
be left to the administration which has
done so much to carry it forward against
formidable obstacles abroad and vexatious i
opposition at home.
The administration In the Philippines his
been dictated by a broad sense of duty. It
has not been subversive of our national
Ideals, but has been In conformity with the
best traditions of the republic.
The archipelago came to the I'nlted
States as the result of a war. and It be
cnc the duty of the administration to
enforce the laws there as elsewhere, to
maintain the national sovereignty and to
Inaugurate civil government. Before the
Insurrection had censed President McKinley
admirably expressed our purpose. Hiild he:
"No effort will be spared to build up the
waste places desolated by war and by long
years of mlsgnvernment. We shall not
wait for the end of strife to begin the
beneficent work. We slinli continue ns we
have begun, to open the schools snd the
churches, to set the courts In operation, to
foster Industry and trade and commerce,
and In every way In our power to make
those people whom providence has brought
within our Jurisdiction feel that It Is their
liberty nnd not our power; their welfare,
and not our (rain, we are seeking to en
hance. Our flag has never waved over
any community but In blessing. I believe
the Flllnlnoa will soon recognize the fact
that it has nrrt lost Its gift of benediction
In Its world-wide Journey to their shores."
President Roosevelt has continued the
work In the same Just and generous spirit
which Inspired President McKinley.
Mllltnrv rule wns quickly succeeded by
the civil authority. The people of the
Islands have been invited as fast as posl
ble to participate In the work of govern
ment. Tho Judicial system has been Im
proved, corruption has been driven out.
nubile schools have been established nnd
the people are already enjoying a large
measure of self-government.
Liberal Treatment to Filipinos.
Congress has authorized n representative
assembly to be chosen In duesjilme by the
people of the Islands. The ballot box is
not the sign of Imperialism. No one need
have any grave concern with respect to
the future of the archipelago If the I'nlted
States goes forward as heretofore, Inspired
by tne same lofty purpose which has char
acterized the administrations of President
McKinley and President Koosevelt. We
may safely trust to the future to deal with
tho F'lllplnos In a manner conslstenf with
their highest and best Interest, and with
the duty and honor of the United States.
The people of the islands have hnd abund
ant evidence of the exalted purposes of
the I'nlted States. The various degrees
of civilization Among them, their unfamlll
arlty with civic duties, make It Inadvisable
to indulge In anv declaration as to the
future policies, which may lead to mis
understanding. The people of the Philip
pines do not distrust us. We need not dis
trust ourselves.
Our opponents say the Philippine policy
does not psy. They should not forget
tlint the I'nlted States did not go to war
with Spain for dollars nnd cents. They
should remember that when It comes to
a matter of duty, the I'nlted States does
no! consider the cost. When the history
of our country Is written It will be found
that there Is no brighter pnge, or one
which will yield more pleasure and satis
faction in its contemplation than tho one
which tells of our discharge of the re
sponsibilities growing out of the war with
Spain. The archipelago belongs to the
I'nlted States. Its title is vested In this
government by virtue of the treaty of
peace negotiated nnd ratified according to
the requirements of the constitution and
th" responsibility of administration rests
upon us. not as a matter of sentiment.
but ns a duty ,imposed by the obligations
of the law.
The application of the proceeds of public
land sales to the reclamation of Irrigable
portions of our arid and seml-arld public
domain meets my cordial approval.
Through the enlightened policy thus es
tablished under the present administration,
the long-deferred hopes of the struggling
settlers of the-great arid and seml-arld
west will be realized In the upbuilding of
substantial communities In places hitherto
waste or comparatively unproductive. At
the same lime a vast area of the nubllo
domain will e opened, upon which the In

additions aref constantly being made, guar
antees, under the wise administration,
great progress in the work of irrigation,
and the settlement of the arid region within
a few years.
Trade with the Orient.
The development of trade with the orient
promises to absorb the Increased produc
tion of cereals in the far west, ao as to
leave the market conditions on the At
lantic seaboard undisturbed. The settle
ment of the present unproductive regions
will open a new market for the manu
facturers of the east
Only by unduly extending this letter
could I consider all the declarations em
braced in the platform of the convention.
Further reflection but strengthens my
opinion of their wisdom and I shall give
them my earnest support. We are grati
fied that sectional differences have dis
appeared and that a fraternal spirit per
vades the people of all sections of our
country. We rejoice In a national Inheri
tance which Is our common pride. Repub
lican policies are as broad as our coun
try's needs. They are neither sectional
nor racial In their generous design.
We are Inspired with one high purpose,
and that Is, under divine guidance, to pro
mote peace Hnd good order, virtue and
knowledge, Justice, patriotism and Pros
perity among our countrymen and to In

honor of the great republic. Very re-

the standpoint of the consumer. It never
tells the laborer that It Is all important
that he have good wages, but It continually
tells him that It Is nil Important that he
have cheap living expenses. It never tells
the farmer that the price of farm nroducts
Is a matter of Importance or worthy of his
consideration, hut it continually tells him
that tho price of sewing machines and of
typewriters nnd Of pianos and organs la or
great moment. The democratic party has
always and does now Insist that the con
sumer is Imposed upon whenever anything
can be obtained nnvwhere cheaper than in
the market in which he buys.
Views on Republicanism.
On the contrary, the republican party
tells the producer that his Interests are
being neglected whenever It is possible to
secure a better: market for tho things he
has to sell than the market In which he
sells. The democratic party always Insists
that it Is unimportant who produoes that
which we consume, providing It is always
cheap. The republican party Insists that
it is relatively of no Importance what price
we pay providing the price when paid
pasBc-s Into the hands of one who will In
turn be a consumer of our products.
Applying this, the republican party has
alwsys sought to protect the American
producer, wTille the democratic party Is a
free trade party. I do not say that demo
cratic voters are nil free traders, but I
speak of the party as a party.
The republican party believes In a home
market. It believes In wages sufficiently
high to enable our people to eat three
meals per day, sleep between sheets, and
place a roof, owned or rented, over the
babies. In this it has ever been successful.
In proof of this I cite the fact, well estab
lished by the records, that the American
people consume one-fourth of the cotton
fiber of the world. One-twentieth of the
people of the world could not consume one
fourth of the cotton fiber of the world If
they were compelled to patch, and darn,
and mend, and If they did not sometimes
burn to save laundry bills.
Our democratic friends insist that we

should seek the foreign market. They are
alwsvs urainp that it we will take off our
protective tariff foreign countries will emu
late our magnanimity. While the repub
lican party lias not neglected the foielau
market it fins protected the home market.
And with what result? The Inst I'nlted
Slates census gave our Industrial commerce
at Ili.ouO.oOO.OOO. The sixty principal com
mercial countries of the world export IR
Ohi.OinvoiO worth of merchandise of one kind
or another per annum. Our domestic, trade
Is thus twice the aggregate export trade of
the world. I submit that this Is worth
looking after. But In proof of my previous
stnttment that the republican party has
not neglected the export trade, the I'nlted
States has the largest export trade of all
these slxiy countries and more than one
eighth of the aggregate.
A generation had grown up under the
protective principle and kn?w nothing of
the evils that always have and always will
and always must result from a tariff for
revenue only. When every man, woman
and child In the I'nlted States are eating
thrco full meals a day the price of bread
and mat and everv other product of labor,
as well as labor itself, will be reasonably
high, nnd the demand for cheaper living
expenss will be quite popular. As a mnt

slogan in 192.

to make good their promise of giving the
people cheaper 'living expenses. '1 hey were
successful beyona their most sanguine ex
pectation. Living expenses became so cheap
that In all the larger cities the good people
organized institutions for the sole purpose
of giving away the necessaries of life, and
a million suffering women and children
were daily fed by charity, while a million
men walked the streets i vain for a day's
work. I need not paint the picture, it is
still fresh In the minds of all sane men.
And now we come to the campaign of
IStfB. In casting about for an Issue on which
our democratic friends could win that
campaign, they found It necessary to for
sake the platform on which they had hex n
successful in ISM. There was nothing In
that platform that could lie used again.
But the people's party In 1S92 had declared
for the free nnd unlimited coinage of sli
ver at the ratio of 16 to 1 with gold, with
out tho aid or consent of any other nution,
and during the four years of Mr. Cleve
land's administration conditions favored the
propagation of that economic doctrine. Dur
ing these four years there were many who
telt the need of more money and they
thought perchance tne free coinage of sil
ver would supply that need. There were
many who felt the ni-ed of a cheaper dol
lar, and thy thought perchance a pro
vision by which the government should
coin ff) cents' worth of silver Into a legal
tender dollar, without expense to the
owner, might relieve, or at least mitigate
their sufferings. This, mark you. was not
an original democratic doctrine. It waf tho
doctrine of the populist party. General
James B. Weaver of my state had the
honor of being a presidential candidate
with free coinage of silver us the para
mount Issue four years prior to thv nomi
nation of William Jennings Bryan at Chi
cago. But looking for nn issue on which a
campaign might be won, our democratic
friends thought there was nothing more
promising than this popullstlc issue, and
they held their convention first and took it.
put It in their platform and called it Jef
fersonian democracy. It was not, for Jef
ferson Is on record in favor of the single
gold stunoard.
Democrats Attain In Trouble.
For the campulgn of lDul ouv democratic
friends ure again In trouble. 1 do not
say It would be difficult to devise some
prosiessive policy for the wise government
uf tho nation, but our friends nave given
no evidence of having sought such, i'i.ty
give every evidence, however, that they
Have sought an issue fur the sole und only
purpose of winning this campaign. As a
hatter of expediency they have tnouglit It
unwise to declare In favor of the lice and
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of
1 to 1 with gold, for that has twice failed.
They have thought It Inexpedient to de
clare In favor of the gold standard, for it
was discovered that the majority of the
convention did not believe in the gold
stundard. They did not think it expedient
to declare that the money question was
settled. The New York delegation de
feated, by a 'ote of 60 to 26, a resolution
offered bj liourke Cockran in the follow
ing langut. ;e:
"Resoiveo, That in the opinion of this
delegation a plain statement In the demo
cratic platform thut the decision of the
people as twice expressed on the standard
of value should be accepted as a final set
tlement of the coinage question, is udso
lutily essential to any prospect of success
In the election."
It will be noticed that not even Bourke
Cockran ' favored a declaration that the
gold.-standard was economically right, or
that it ought to prevail, ilo simply thought
it "absolutely essential to any prospect of
success," tjiat the establishment of the
gold standard by tho republican pirty
''should be accepted as a final settlement. '
But Judge Parker's first and second lieu
tenants, Senator Hill and Mr. Sheehan,
thought otherwise, and they voted against
muklng such an admission. The convention
was also silent on the subject. I um not
unmindful thut the nominee of that con
vention, after ample lime had elopsed in
which he might read the declaration of
the principal newspapers of New York,
stating in most emphatic terms that he
had no possible chance of success on the
non-committal platform, did send a tele
gram to the eflect that he considered the
gold standard irrevocably established. He
did not venture to say that he thought the
gold standard economically wise or scientific-ally
correct. He had twice voted in
favor of the free and unlimited colnuge of
silver, and must therefore be presumed
to believe In It.
The telegram was received with great
consternation, and the remainder of the
day and more than half the night whs
given to ifs consideration. Finally a reply
was agreed upon to the effect that the
platform was silent on the money ques
tion because It was not regarded as a pos
sible issue in the campaign. It would have
been more In harmony with the truth had
the convention said, "because It Is not
deemed expedient to make the standard un
Issue In this campaign, for If the conven
tion is silent no one will need to be em
barrassed whatever may be his individual
ylews.
lioiiKera anu sprmirri,
It should be impossible to qualify this
democrutlc position. The plank does not
declare that excessive tariff duties amount
to robbery of the many In the Interest of
tho few. It declares that protection, high
or low, Is robbery of the many In the in
terest of the few. And here the battle
should be fought. I wish I might Insist
that upon this issue it must be 'ought. 1
anticipate tliKt our friends will dodge. Thty
are sometimes good sprinters.
I am r.ot unmindful of the claim mado by
Some of our democratic friends that the
Issue shall be the candidates. This is also
welcomed. They will not attack tho per
sonal Integrity of Theodore Roosevelt. They
will not attack his courage. They will not
attack his Independence. They will not at
tack his Intelligence. They will not at
tuck the wisdom, measured by results, of
nnvthlim he haa done or sought to do.
They will not claim that his admlnlstra- ;
tlon has been vacillating or disistrous. i
They will only express the opinion that a
man who does ihings must of necessity do
wrong things, and that a man who thinks ,
quickly must of ne-cesslty think Incur- :
rectly; and that a man who is ambitious
for his country's prosperity and for his
country's peace and safety must of neces
sity be unsafe. The logic of their argu- ,
mcnt Is that the only safe man would be .
someone who can be whipped Into a tele-
gram to the efTect that regardless of his
previous views, regardless of his present ;
convictions, he la willing to acquiesce, for !
the time being, in anything he does not i
think it expedient to oppone. j
