A i' o Tpr 'ft. r- MW M 'A Supplement to THE ALLIANCE HERALD. Friday, November 4, 1904. ALLIANCE, - - NEBRASKA, CHATS BY THE WAY. More "harmony" In the ranks of the "How York Republicans. The Press, of Nfh York City, In a veiled nttack upon C. auncey M. Dopcw, says: "The Press Is believed to be one of the or gans of ex-Governor Frank S. Mack, Who aspires to oust Dcpew from his couriirtablo scat In the Senate." o Banker Vanderllp, the nioutliplece of be Standard Oil Trust, talks about a "return of prosperity" as likely, If only bankers and would-be specula tors will be careful not' to "run ninuck." Vanderllp should pay more heed to his words. It Is the claim of the Republican campaign managers that "prosperity" Is here already, and lias been here ever since the Dingley tariff went Into effect. Why, then, talk about a "return" of ItV 'Among the numerous reforms that may be looked for In the event of the -election of Judge Parker Is olie lor the preservation of the lives of trav elers by water. The steamboat Inspec tion service, by practice of graft and Indulgence In lavorltlsiu, has been ad mittedly rotten, like the bulk of the life preservers aboard iliu Ill-fated General Slocum. It was lottenest when Chairman Cortelyou was Secre tary of the Department of Commerce and Labor, which has under its juris diction the steamboat inspection tier .vice. i The Panama chicken Is coming home to roost beforo the coop is ready. It was not Intended to be.ready until af ter the election. The Steel Trust takes from the pock ets of our people and does not even give its workmen a fair share of its swag. In fact, it robs them right along with the rest of the people and besides giving to foreigners a better bargain than to our own people. r All signs point to the election of a Democratic House of Representatives. Then will the time come when a rot ten Administration will not be per mitted to Investigate itself and exclude Congress from participation. Announcement is made that during the New York campaign the Republi cans will keep Odell in the back ground. The Democrats, on the oth er hand, will keep Odell and Odelllsm .well to the front. They ure worth thou sands of votes. ' Roosevelt boasts of his undying do Totlon to civil service reform, yet not In a dozen years has the law been so extensively and flagrantly violated as now. All over the country Government employes aro being forced to contrib ute to the Roosevelt campaign fund. The New York Press predicts that Boosevelt will come down to the Har lem River with 1O0.OJ0 plurality. If lie reaches that point with 75,000 plu rality he will bo doing very -well, but even the former llguro will not save liim, because Judge Parker's lead be low the Harlem will be at least 125,000. This is a Democratic year in New " . , . . - We have often wondered just what was the matter with Tom Watson and now wo know. Tho Nashville Ameri can lets the cat out of the bag. "Tom lias had a kind of viperlsh, gaugrcnlsh liatrcd for the Democracy ever since Judge Fuller, of Georgia, mopped up tho earth with him in two separate races for Congress." I ' The Boston Journal, the nowspaper that the Vermont Republicans regard as only less sacred than the Bible, re ports that eleven men have subscribed each $1,000,000 to the Democratic campaign fund,, and yet the Journal Is suro that Roosevelt will win out. This nice little wad of tho "long green" is to be "dumped" into tho doubtful States. Next! Governor-Chairman Odell says these stories about "perversion of State funds" are lies from start to finish. 'On the contrary," ho says, "I have saved the State over 50,000,000 by my .vetoes." What an awful lot of graft ers Odell's henchmen must be, if, in addition to what they got away with, the boss held them up and made them disgorge to the tunc of $0,000,000! "You can sec twenty acres of Philip pine life at tho world's fair, -but you cannot see a squaro rod of the Consti tution." Justice Brewer, of the Unit 'ed States Supreme Court. Respectfully referred to President Itoosevelt, with the suggestion that JuBtloo Brewer be promptly tried for iilgh treason. Tho campaign for the perpetuation of OdelltBm in the State of New York is progressing beautifully. "No act of the Republican State Administration could bring a blush of shame to the face of any Republican," exclaimed .State Senator Elsberg, one of Odell's 'henchmen, In closing an Impassioned plea for fair treatment of the Governor-Chairman. ".Marvellous," comments the Republican New York Sun, "that eo Immaculate a thing should diffuse such an appalling stench!" i ' Colonel George Brumder, of Milwau kee, who started out to help elect Roosevelt, has decided that he made a mistake, and Is now advocating the election of Judge Parker Instead. Colouel Brumder owns the leading Ger-mail-American newspaper in Milwau kee. He is also the proprietor of the Irele Presse. published in Lincoln, Neb., and a German-American weekly of large circulation in Chicago. Colonel Brumder Is a recruit worth having. It is n fact of considerable significance that a majority of the newspapers in tho Western States that aro print ed In the German language are supporting the Democratic Presi dential ticket. Four years ago nine-tenths of these papers were on the other side of the political fence. More significance. According to a dispatch from Hono lulu the Republicans nre "after the Chinese vote." They nre welcome to it. W i- Ilad Governor-Chairman Odell had any idea what his Dontjcratlc Attorney-General was go!g to do to him he would not have endorsed him as one of the soundest lawyers he had ever met. "If the Democrats think 1 have done wrong," said the Governor-Chairman, "let them ask Cunucen about It. I know of no lawyer whose opinion I would sooner take", or value more high ly." The Democrats did ask Cuuueen almut it, and. Udell lias been on crutches ever since. TICKLED SHEEPSKINS. Sonntor IjoOrp In n I'rck of Trouble, nntl Teddy Goes to Ills Rescue. Hon. Charles S. Hamlin, who is to make a number of speeches for the Democratic natlonnl ticket in the mid dle West, begrudges tho time he must give to that pleasant duty simply for the reason that he would like to devote all of his time to tho "doubtful" State of Massachusetts. While no well informed persoii In cludes tho Bay State among those that aro likely to go Democratic, nor even among those classed as doubtful, there yet is less of facetlousness in Mr. Ham lin's remark than might at ilrst thought be supposed. Senator Lodge, the Re publican leader In Massachusetts, and bosom friend of President Roosevelt, is in a peck of trouble, and is mnUIng frantic demands upon the Republican National Committee for money and speakers to help him carry Massachu setts. Thirty thousand Republicans, acting with a like number of Democrats, have compelled Mr. Lodge to right-about-face on the question of reciprocity with Canada, nnd it Is now probable that the r Senator will be further humiliated by ircin ji.v.vi iu i in u 4i iuiiiiiv;i; tjcuwwi- snult. Bt t whether tiie Republican organi zation does or does not come out square footed for this measure of relief which Is demanded by the people of Massa chusetts, there is bound to be trouble for tho hide-bound partisans of pro tection in that. State, and the Demo crats should profit thereby. Tho absurdity of tho stxty-ppven cents a ton duty on coal Is one of the tilings which is keenly realized by the New England manufacturers who in sist upon reciprocity with Canada. The sole effect of this duty, so far as they are concerned, is to exclude the New England States from the nearby Nova Scotia supply of coal, and to compel them to pay an excessively high price as a slight benefit to distant mine own ers, to the mnterlal Injury of their own industry. This same duty, it may be said in passing, handicaps the people of tho Northwest, who. but for It might draw their coal from the fields of Brit ish Columbia at a considerable saving' over present cost. But reciprocity with Canada is not the only Important matter which is troubling Senator Lodge and his Re publican machine. "Pickled sheep skins" are causing great annoyance. Large quantities of them are Imported Into Massachusetts every year. For merly they came In free of duty, but recently tho Treasury Department dis covered that there was an "Infant in dustry" In domestic sheepskins which must be helped over the rough places in its pathway. Hence the department ofllclals decided that these pickled sheepskins must be treated as partly manufactured goods, and taxed at twenty per cent. Senator Lodge has appealed to tho President, nnd unless ho has lost his "pull" with his old friend entirely pickled sheepskins will bo restored to tho free list, at least un til nfter election. P. 8. Pickled sheepskins are back on tho free list. Following his order that no department estimates showing the cost of running tho Government should hereafter bo given out, Mr. Roosevelt has given orders to the Treasury ofllclals that no more duties shall be collected on pickled sheep skins until they hear from him again. This may possibly "savo" Massachu setts. HOW PROTECTION ROBS. $ Mr. Schwab, of Steel Trust, Tolls of Nlco Margin" MhiIo Out of Homo Consumers. Clearer proof of the truth that "pro teetion Is robbery" could not be de sired thnn was given by Representa tive John Sharp Williams iu his speech: "You know we can make steel rails for less than $12 a ton," wrote- Mr. Schwab, "leaving n nice margin for for eign business." Tho slzo of this nice margin Is ?9 for tho price of American rails to foreigners (tho Grand Trunk Hallway of Canada, for instance) is ?21 a ton; but when the same corpora- tion, wuoso lines are partly in United States territory, buys rails to lay down on this side of our tariff boundary, it is obliged to pay for the goods at the rate of $29 a ton. Tho President of the company stands ready to vouch for this fact. Tho rails cost $12 n ton to pro duce; they are sold to foreigners at $21 a ton, which Is a fair prollt; but when sold to bo put down in the United States the sum of $29 a ton is exneted, the extra $8 being pure robbery. Phil adelphia Itccord. Republicans to De Disappointed. The Indiana Republicans have been boasting that they would carry the Twelfth Congressional District of that State this year for the lirst time in history. The district Includes tho city of Fort Wayne, where Itohinson, the Democratic nominee, was cut consider ably in n previous contest. The staff correspondent of the Indianapolis News thinks the Republicans will be disappointed. lie has traveled over the Twelfth District, aud reports as the re. suit of his investigation, that there "is little foundation" for tho Republican claim that they will win out this year. Fort Wayne Is tho chief city In Alien County, which sent Hearst delegates to St. Louis. Tho Democrats there are of the true-blue kind, and they are solid for Parker and Davis and the rest of the Democratic ticket We.the people of the Uni ted injure doThestic tranauility, fare, and secure the blessin cstabLish thu t ARTICLE 5ecl Aulijuiatu 01iViMtUii limit iltuu w aec.Sbiiuim inim ii,iuumiii"mw tiiiitittuiii imi tiiuu iimtm Hum nun tm. .nit Uliiltt uii.m iii in iim nut iiiii in mil iiii iiiii.

PARKER.- What (lie Tariff and Trusts, on Whicli Roosevelt Stands I'af, Cost 1I13 Auisrican Agriculturist. && No class of Aniericnn citizens suffers more seveiely from the excessive and unjust Republican tariff nystem than tho farmers, it is a well-known fact that the cost of all production falls ul timately upon the land, that whoever dances the farmer has to pay the piper, that when the great heads of Republi can trusts travel over the world in their yachts and automobiles, it Is the farmer planting his corn and gathering In his crops who has to pay for their enjoyment, whllo ho and his help sweat and tug in the Held nnd thu .barn. As all wealth Is really based 011 land and its products the farmer, who is nearest the land, ought to have his fnlr share of it. Hut dues he? Let us see. The Republican high tariff gives the trust yacht-owning, ehampagne-guz-zling monopolists the power to cliarge what prices they please In the United Mates, where competition has been practically destroyed by the trusts, while tho same monopolists, when they sell their American goods abroad, have to meet competition there, and as a consequence they bell to foreigners cheaper than they sell to Americans. The American farmer has to pay, for Instance, $11 for a trust-mado Ameri can cultivator, whllo tho samo Ameri can cultivator is sold abroad for $8.!0. The American farmer pays $14 for a trust-made American plow, which is sold abroad for $12.00. Tho American fanner pays $8.2. a dozen for trust-made American axes, which tho same trust manufacturer sells abroad to the foreigner for $7.20 a dozen. Tho American farmer has to pay ai, IWUUt 11.1111 I1UQI V1' tJVt JW JIUUMUO IUI barbed wire, when the same American trust sells tho samo barbed wire abroad to tho foreigner for $2 per 100 pounds. If the American farmer wants a lino sewing machine for his wife he has to pay tho American tariff protected sew ing machine trust $27.G0 for a machiuo which the same trust sells abroad for $20.75. And about the same difference In prices here and abroad applies to Amerlcan-mado medium aud cheap sewing machines. And 80,011 through everything used by the American farmer. It has been carefully estimated that the 0,200,000 families in the United States engaged in agricultural pursuits pay a tribute annually to the Republican tariff pro tected trusts of $517,700,000. This vast amount the Republican trust mag nates are enabled to extort from the farmers of the United States by means of a high tariff which prevents compe tition from abroad, and of uulawful trade combinations which the Repub lican Administration has done nothing to break up, nnd which virtually con trol that Administration. Judge Parker, Democratic candidate for the Presidency, is pledged by his own utterances and tho party platform to bring about such revision of tho tariff as will prevent the trusts from discriminating in favor of tho foreign er and against the American farmer in the sale of American goods. Judgo Parker Is also pledged to break up the uulawful conspiracies called trusts, and reduce prices by re storing competition. To this end ho will enforces statute law, and, where that is lacking, the common law. President Roosevelt, on tho other hand, says distinctly that he and his party stand pat on the tariff and trusts that the trusts, under protection of tho Republican high tariff, will be per mitted, If the Republican party is suc cessful in November, to continue to extort about $518,000,000 a year in tlie .mti .Hi-PfmuiiiriV &i?wr,vJw!'i -ffi '.TitvTK'ITi .; '.'UIfTwi um" y'-jyKmlr Tfrl JiM A X fMkxm niiuiiii mu in uii " Hk r (IV Ulr jr tcoJt Bfff y nt Mtr-m nun mm um' "KKWh&iL&JKf LiJiSl f.i'4 Lmi1.!!! i'.i" .""'

AO VVVVVVVAVWMVVVVAVM WW1 shape of overcharges nntl excessive prices lur giiinln 1'ioui American farm ci. Tlin American farmer should remem ber that when President Roosevelt was (tovenior of New York he disapproved a bill pusicd by the Legislature taxing franchises, nntl Intended to reduce the burden of State tax on farmers and other individual taxpayers li.v making corporations pay their just share. Thu corporation lawyers pleaded with Roosevelt that the bill was unconstitu tional, and he was very ready to accept their statement. The Court of Ap peals, .ludgc Parker presiding, after ward held Roosevelt's objection to tho bill to be unfounded. Roosevelt's "mistake," however, cost a largo amount of money, which was saved to the corporations, and hail to be paid by the farmers and others. It madu Roosevelt pollil. however, with tho trusts, which run the Republican party. and doubtless had .1 good deal to do with his nomination for Vice-President. Every farmer has at time cattle to dispose of. It has been clearly estab lished that the Republican tariff tax an hides, which was levied solely fqr tho benefit of tho great meat packers In Chicago nnd other centres, docs not put one dollar In the pocket of the farmer or cattle raiser, who does not get a cent more for tho nnlmnl on ac count of the hide, while it enables the great trust meat packers to charge higher prices for hides than they would be ablo to charge if hides were coming In freo from South America, Mexico and elsewhere. It is not necessary to take Democratic authority for thesu facts. Ask any denier in leather. Tim Republican tariff tax on hides puts millions of dollars Into the pockets of tins meat trust, whllo it adds to tho cost; of every pair of shoes and every inch of leather that is used In the Uni ted States and farmers havo use for' a good deal of leather besides what they wear as shoes. The facts nnd figures above present ed deal with tho actual cost in money to tho American farmer of the high tariff system on which tho Republican party says it "stands pat," and which is to bo eoutinucd Ju all Its oppressive ness, extortion nnd injustice if Roose velt should be elected. The Republican Congress has author ized u standing army of 100,000 men four times as great as any previous standing nrmy of the United States iu time of peace. This means militarism, n military aristocracy to co-operate with the truBt aristocracy In trampling on the ordinary citizen. It means tho mllitn.ry system of Germany nnd Rus sia for tho United States. It meaus n weapon that might prove very danger ous In the hands of n man of Roose velt's quarrelsome ebaractcr. Imperialism goes with militarism. The policy of attending lo our own business has been given up by tho Re publican Administration for that of meddling in the world's business, of holding subject nations as colonics nnd of exterminating them, ns multitudes of Flllplnps have been exterminated, when they dared to demand for them selves the Independence for which Americans fought in tho Revolution. At any moment tho policy of imperial ism, that meddling In the a,ffalrs of foreign nations which Washington warned us against in his farewell ad dress, may plunge us Into a tremendous wnr with some great power. The election of Roosevelt would mean a final step over the precipice of imperialism. It would mean the abandonment of American methods and principles for those of continental Europe, with a war lord for chief of State and a largo nnd obedient stand ing army at his command. It would mean the stamp of popular approval for Roosevelt's usurpation of authority that belongs to Congress alone, aud for future usurpations that would substi tute the will of tho executive for the Constitution of the United States. Judge Parker stands for American ism In all that the torm implies; Roose velt for imperialism, as illustrated In Berlin. VIennn and St. Petersburg, and of late also In Washington. Every real American should vote for the Ameri can candidate, Alton 13. Parker.

At tnc uu Game of Trying t) Frighten and Corrupt tin People by Flashing Money. it seems impossible that any In telligent person should be deceived by the statement isuetl by Senator Scotr, of the Republican National Committee, purporting to be n "con servative" estimate of the chances of Roosevelt and Parker, respectively. There aro many persons, however, who are not familiar with political conditions or campaign methods, who may be misled by the seemingly sin cere and honest statement made by Senator Scott, who is u very smooth politician nnd a past master In tho art of politicnl Mulling. Thero are -170 electoral voles to be divided between the candidates, and of these Scott modestly claims aiO. He al lows Parker only 1C0, which represent tho "Solid South," not including West Virginia or Maryland. He, with equal modesty, appropriates every so-called doubtful State of tho East and West. Judge Parker, ho says, with that care ful conservatism which nlways char acterizes his political utterances, "will he beaten as badly as Greeley was in 1872." Now York ho puts down for from r0.000 to 73,000 plurality for Roosevelt. As an offset to this ridiculous state ment, there Is the latest estimate of tho Democratic managers, which claims 250 electoral votes for Parker, or seventeen more than sujlcleiit to cji;i;i iiiiii. iii'wr iurn is I'liiiuieu lor Parker because the Indications all point to a plurality for him of from HO.OOO to 40,000, nnd a lead of at least 80,000 for Herrick over Hlgglns. New York has never given a Republican plurality in a Presidential election if tho Democracy was united. It will not belle its record this year. It Is Democratic to-day, audit will be Demo cratic on the morning nfter election. New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Indiana, Montana, Colorado, Idaho and Neva da aro all claimed by the Democrats, aud in most cases with much better reason than the Republicans can ad vance. Thero Is ground for hope that Wisconsin and Idaho will give their electoral votes to Parker, but these two States are not counted on for him. Tho Republican Committee's claim Is no more extravagant nor worthless than the claim it put forth n few days prior to tho election In 181)2, the most recent election with which it Is rea sonable to make a comparison now. That committee was. or pretended to be, Just ns certain of a walkover for Harrison as it now pretends to be of n walkover for Roosevelt. It claimed everything, specifically including New York, New Jersey, Indiana and Con necticut, nnd on the night beforo the election it sent David Martin to the Hoffman nous -with $100,000 to bet on Hnrrison. The Republican manag ers nlways claim everything in sight. It has never hesitated to deceive peo pio even to the extent of inducing them to bet on Republlcau candidates, when It knew that the Democrats would win. It has done this iu the past, hoping to create a general feel ing that its own candidates would be elected. This year It has wrung such enormous sums of money from the trusts nnd railroad systems that it is evidently setting nsldo a much larger amount than usual to influence bet ting. Against this sort of chicanery let Democrats and independents be on their guard. Let all such stand by their guns nnd continue to work for Parkec aud Davis. If this is done, it will bo very plain on tho morning af ter election that not the Democratic, but the Republican campaign, was what Senator Scott calls a "Joke." WMh VO BUYING MORE POWER WHAT TIII1 SUITORT OF TRUSTS TOIC ROOSEVELT MEAN. Large RCThfralioii Tliroiiiio-jt tlic Coati try Shows llic TeDple Am Deeply Iiileres:eJ. The Republican National Committee' claims of a walkover for Roosevelt am based simply on this fact and supposi tion, to wit: On the fact that thu great trusts and railroad combines nre supporting Roosevelt and pouring money into his campaign chest, and 011 the supposition that with this mon ey the Presidency can be bought. It Is this fact and this .supposition itlouu that Cortelyou and Scott base their "claims" 011, and It I on these "claims" (lint Wall Street gamblers base their Judgment and the odds they offer Iu betting. Hut can the Presidency be bought outright? That game was tried iu 1861 and In 1SI)2 nnd did not work. :t was successful In l&SS, when Matt ijuay, the arch corruptlonlst of the Re publican party, aided by David Mar tin, a product of Quayism, handled the money contributed by the protect ed Interests of the country lo tiefeat Cleveland. It was played successful ly in 1880, when "Blocks of Five" Dudley bought up the "floateis" iu Indiana with crisp new bank notes, Hut to buy the Presidency In lor Is a different proposition. The Demo cratic party is organized and unltett this year, and it will havo the practi cally holld support of independent vol ets. The Democratic oiganlzntlouIu every debatable State Is aggressive,, and determined that Republican brib ery and fraud shall be exposed and. prevented wherever possible. The great registration In nearly all parts, of the country where registration 1 required, and the deep, though quiet. Interest shown In the campaign iu the rural districts everywhere, may meau that the people approve of the alliance made by the Roosevelt managers with Hie trusts and other great aggregations, of capital, nm. an not averse to the' corrupt scheme of those manngers to buy tho Presidency, but there are many patriotic people who refuse to believe it. They believe, on the other IiiuhV that tho slgnlllcauce of the large regis tration, and deep Interest shown by tho voters throughout tho country,, and particularly In the great Industrial and commercial States, Is of another kind. They believe It points to an up rising of the honest nnd pntrlotlc- masses everywhere who will drive the Republicans from power and robuke the pupils and successors of Quay unit Dudley, who nre boasting thnt they havo the Presidency In tliel: grasp. Senator Scott, In one 0' his arrogant and lusolcnt "claims," sent out wlil the sanction of the Republican Nation al Committee, Bays; tho Demopratlc cnmpalgn ts only a "Joke." Ho -Wilt be of 11 different opinion on tho morn ing after election, when ho discover that his own Stato has gone Demo cratic and that n Democratic Legisla ture hns been elected, which will send n Democrat lo represent West Vir ginia In tho Senate In place of himself Scott 4s a great; bluffer, and nlway has been, but this year the Democratft nro prepared to "call" I1I01, and thcj7 arc doing it right along. ABSURD REPUBLICAN CtAfflSL New York Stato Turning- Unrtoubf odlr to I'arkcr and Herrick. Republican politicians nro mail ing the most extravagaut claims as fo llow New York will vote In November. They rldlaulo tho cry of "Odoljism" nd say Roosevelt "will sweep the State." Only fools or persons. Ignorant of the? situation will be misled by claims s palpably insincere. New XorU Is an. certainly Democratic this y.ear ns Georgia. The attitude of the press of Now York City Is alone sufficient to satisfy nuy reasonable man where New York stands. The only dally papers supporting. Ropa,eve!t are tho Tribune Sun. Press. Evening Mail( Evening Giobo andHwo Brooklyn papers or purely local Influence, and not muclu at thnt. The papers advocating the election of Parker arc the Herald, World, American, Times, Staats Zeltung,. News. Evening World. Morgen Journal,. Evening Post, Telegraph, Evening: Journal, Courier des Etats IJnls nmL Telegram. Outside of New York City the Democratic and independent pres Is solid for Parker. The betting, although thero is. but little of it, Is a't even money ns to the Presldential ticket, and nt odds of HV to 7 in favor of the Democratic Stat ticket. New Yorkers all know hoi" iq Stale Is going. If others have doubts, a short visit in Now York would dispel them. Parker will win the State's electoral votes, and all of "Odell's creatures" will be "driven Into the Hudson Riv er." ns the Sun has expressed a wish they should be. The only question 1 as to the size of the Democratic ma jority. BECAUSE HE 13 SO DIFFERENT. Mr. OverbnugU lve III Htnou For III Preference Tor Parker Over Itooievelf.
