OF INDIANA
ANNOUNCEMENTS.
FOR COUNTY ATTORNttV.
I hereby announce myself as a candidate
fot nomination to tho office of county at
torney of Box Butte county, Nebraska,
subject to the decision of tho democratic
and people's parly voters of said county at
the primary election to be held on Tues
day, September i, 1908. Respectfully.
Euoenk Burton.
The paper mills of the International
Paper company closed their doors last
Monday and several thousand employes
were discharged. Vole for Taft.
Mr. Bryan's speech of acceptance
will only include 5,300 words. But
then it must be remembered that Mr.
Bryan can say much in a few words.
Your appendix instantly and pain
lessly removed is a new feature iu
modern surgery that is giving Dr. Rcid
of Rome, New York, a world-wide
reputation.
Members of labor unions take no
tice: W. J. Bryan was elected an lion
nry member of the Lincoln Typograph
ical union at its last meeting by a
unanimous vote.
For pure, unadulterated gall, Him
yellow journal known as "Judge," has
been telling the working men to vote
for Taft and the full dinner pail. With
shops closed all over the laud and
thousands in the east out of employ
ment as a result of republican policies,
that purchased little rag has the gall to
usk the laboring people of the United
States to perpetuate their present serf
dom condition. Can the republican
party hoodwink the laboring class with
such trash?
The Alliance Times is greatly alarm
ed for fear the negro vote will go back
on the republican p.irty this fall and in
its effort to ch.ituje the tide before
election day, devotes considerable edi
torial space in its efforts to make the
colored man believe that the lynching
recently done iu Kentucky was the
work of democrats. Such an assertion
is the silliest rot imaginable, but it will
not overcome the insult and injus
tice done the colored soldiers at Brown
ville by the Roosevelt administration.
The republican party is reaping its re
ward. In replying to the statement of Geo.
B. Sheldon, treasurer of- the republican
national committee, who stated that
the party he represented was opposed
to the guaranty bank deposit system in
vogue iu Oklahoma and inaugurated to
protect depositors, Gov. Charles N.
Haskell, of Oklahoma, says:
"The opinion amounts to nothing.
Why should not the Washington offi
cials oppose the guaranty bank deposit
law when tliev have selected George
Sheldon of No. 2 Wall street to be
campaign treasurer on Wall street's
promise to raise $2,000,000 for their
campaign fund in return for the repub
licans standing pat on the tariff and
opposing guaranty for bauk deposits."
Senator Wiu. B. Allison, tho oldest
member of the United States senate,
died at his home iu Dubuque, Iowa,
Wednesday afternoon of old age. Mr.
Allison was a candidate for re-election
and succeeded the nomination after
one of the most hitter paity strifes that
ever occurred in the republican party
in Iowa, Seuator Cummins, his op
ponent in the primary fight, has an
nounced that he will be a candidate to
succeed the deceased for the senate.
This will again opeu a bitter fight
among the party leaders and it may be
sure that the Hawkcye state republi
cans will agaiu be ou the warpath with
the "progressives" after the "staud
patters" in all parts of the state.
The Difference.
Attorney General Bonaparte an
nounces that if the national banks of
Oklahoma continue to take advantage
ALUASC
of the state law Riving their depositors ' braika that brouht the 2.000 knights up
the benefit of Buarnnteed deposits it standlnat. It was a maKnificent demon

, , huge success,
forfeiture of their charter.
Certainly. Of course. ' The selection of Dr. P. L. Hall of Lin-
Strange how touchy a republican coin to be vice chairman of the national
administration can be about banks
violating the law that is, some laws.
According to Bonaparte it is contrary
to the law which governs them for
them to act under the Oklahoma guar
anty law. So they must stop it, forth
with. If they refuse, tliiir charters
will be revoked.
But the charters of the big national
banks iu New York weren't revoked,
last fall, when they refused, persist
ently, to pay depositors on demand.
Their charters weren't revoked when
they persistently violated the law
against lending more then teu per cent
of capital and surplus to one person or
interest.
Their charters weren't revoked 'when
they used the funds of the entire south
and west iu Wall street gambling, and
for the Imlooning of speculative and
water-logged securities.
It has been openly and repeatedly
charged, since the Wnbh failure and
the panic last fail, that the big banks
of ths country have been flagrant, no
torious and habitual violators of the
national banking law; that the comp
troller of currency has had official
knowledge of the fact but no charters
have been revoked.
But all these violations have been iu
the name of the big interests that con
trol the batiks have been committed
under the banner of High Finance.
The "violation" down in Oklahoma
is merely for the safety of despo3itors
and the good of the local business com
munities. .
That is the difference. That is why
the; law is to be enforced rigidly against
national banks iu Oklahoma. World

for the past week been enjoying something
of a calm before the political storm the

to make the occasion the biggest
democratic rally ever held in the west.
Mr. Bryan returned from Chicago last
Tuesday, having spent the Saturday be
fore in conference with the sub-committee
of the national committee. On his way
back he stopped over in Omaha. On
Monday afternoon he raised a flag at the
Creighton school,
which was founded by '
John A. Creighton, Omaha's foremost
philanthropist. Mr, Creighton at one
time and another gave upwards of $2,500,
000 to educational and charitable institu
tions in Omaha. He endowed Creighton
Medical College, founded St. Joseph's
hospital, endowed Sacred Heart convent,
and provided the funds that made Creigh'
ton College one of the greatest schools in
the west. During his lifetime Mr Creigh
ton was one of Mr. Bryan's warmest
friends and admirers. A millionaire bank
er, he fought for Mr. Bryan in 1S96, and
was a delegate-at-large from Nebraska to
the Kansas City convention. It was na
tural that Mr. Bryan should seize an op
portunity to show his regards for his dead
menu, and to eulogize turn on the oc
casion of the flag raising. On the same
day Mr. Bryan was the guest at a dinner
given by prominent Omaha men at the
the Omaha club. This was non-partisan.
In the evening he was initiated into the
Ak-Sur-Ben society, which is made up of
Omaha business men with the intent of
pushing Omaha and Nebraska.
Mr. Bryan's address before the knights
of Ak-Sar-Ben (spell that hyphenated word
backwards and you will see the point) was
bubbling over with humor. The presiding
officer perpetrated a joke by pretending to
be introducing Mr. Bryau and suddenly
pronouncing the name of William H.
Taft. Then one of Omaha's big lawyers
big physically and mentally was rush
ed to the platform, and impersonating Mr.
Taft made a speech full of happy hits at
the guest of the evening. The pseuda
Mr- Taft read several letters pledging him
support. When Mr. Bryan got startedon
his speech he pulled several letters from
his pocket and said
"I, too, have received some letters
pledging support'" Then he pretended to
read on from the Afro-American Ami
Taft Lagu pledging him support on the
ground that he had paid more tips to Pull
man porttrs than any othur man in Ameri
ca. Another was alltfgsd to b from a
Cincinnati labor organization pledging
support, "not because we know you, but
because we do know Taft."
"I have read the advance sheets of the
speech you are to deliver tomorrow," said
Mr. Bryan, "and I am compelled to say
that the speech you delivered tonight and;
wnicn was not censored at uyster nay, is
superior to the one you will deliver tomor
row after it was censored at Oyste r Bay."
Then Mr. Bryan paid a tribute to Ne-
committee is wonderfully pleasing to west
era democrats.
He is a leader who leads
and a democrat who fights for his dem
ocrncy. As a business man he has been
successful, and no man stands higher as a
citizens. He is president of the Central
National Bank of Lincoln, and has been
engaged in the banking business for twenty
years. Before that he practiced medicine
in Saunders Co., Neb. A democratic
friend once told this story on him:
"Dr. Hall, like many other physicians,
does not take much stock in drugs. In
the old days when he practiced in Saund
ers county he was just as good a democrat
as he is now. Then, when a republican
came to him for medical help Mr. Halt
would give him calomel and quinine and
tell him to swallow them until he got re
sults. But when a democrat came for
medical help Dr. Hall would give him a
copy of 'The Life of Jefferson' and tell'
him to read it and be cured of every ill.'
In one of these letters it was stated that
Mr. Brydn is the second wealthiest man
in Lancaster county. What was meant
was that according to the personal assess
ment rolls he was the second wealthiest.
There are a number of men in Lancaster
who are wealthier than Mr. Bryan, but
their wealth is in corporations, mortgages,
etc. And not every taxpayer makes as
full returns as Mr. Bryan.
Mr. Bryan will make at least one speech
in Kansas during the campaign. It is
reasonable to suppose thut guarantee of
deposits will be duly emphasized in that '
particular speech. It will be delivered at ,
Topeka some time in September.
It has been decided that the notification!
of Mr. Bryan will take on a non-partisan '
appearance. The proposed parade of
marching clubs has been abandoned.
Governor Sheldon and the other state offi
cials, all republicans, will take part in the
exercises. Senator LaFollette, who will
speak at the Epworth Essembly in Lincoln
on August 12, has been invited to partici
pate. At 10:30 in the morning the Ne
braska State Band will give a concert at
the state house grounds. At noon Mr.
Bryan will entertain the members of the
notification committee at lunch at the
Lincoln hotel. At 1 30 Mr. Bryan and
Mr. Kern will be escorted to the state

For notification purposes, at least, Lin
coln will be a "Bryan town" on August
12. Everybody, regardless of political af
filiations, will assist in making the occa
sion a success. It is really remarkable,
,n'3 change in public sentiment towards
Mr. Bryan in the capital city of Nebraska.
Twelve years ago he was bitterly reviled,
and almost daily insulted. The morning
republican organ was so bitter that it re
sorted to language that forced Mr Bryan
to take measures to prevent his family
from seeing it. His nearest neighbors
flaunted pictures of his opponent in his
face, and his mail was deluged with stuff
that would have subjected the senders to
heavy penalty had Mr. Bryan complained
to the postal authorities. It is different
now. The morning republican organ fs
treating him fairly, and the evening re
publican paper, the Star, is making many
friends by its kindly references to the

THE VOTER.
Who is entitled to vote in national, state and local elections?
Any male citizen who litis reached the ago of twenty-ono years.
How about the women?
In the four states of Colovndo, Idaho, Utali and Wyoming any
woman who has reached the ago of twenty-ono years is entitled to vote
on all matters at all elections, hor privilego of suffrago being identical
with that of tho men.
Are there no other states in which women may vote ?
Very limited woman suffrago prevails in nineteen other states.
In Kansas it is restricted to votinsr on school matters and at elections
for municipal officers. In Montana and Iowa women may vote on tho
issuance of municipal bonds. In Montana, Michigan, Minnesota, New
Hampshire, Oregon, Massachusetts, Now York, Vermont, Nebraska,
Wisconsin, Washington, Arizona, New Jersey, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Connecticut and Ohio women .have school suffrage.
Can Chinese in the United States vote, if naturalized?

strong Taft supporter. Bryan pictures
are seen In windows on every hand.
The dejperate - effort of the youthful
managers of the republican campaign in
Nebraska to make it appear that some
"Bryanite" cut down the Taft banner
hubg across O street excites only derision
in this section of the country. The ban
ner was hung the week that thousands of
democrats were stopping oft in Lincoln on
their way to Denver. One night it came
down, and the wire cable crossing a trol
ley wire burned it a little bit on one corner.
Now the committee is sending out postal
cards showing the disfigured banner and
seeking to make campaign capital out of
it. Democrats here are not objecting to
the presence of the banner it is simply
adding to the Bryan sentiment here. This
is a strong union town, and ths Taft ban
ner was not made by union men. There
is a well defined suspicion that the repub
lican managers endeavored to quietly take
it down one night for the purpose of hav
ing a union label put on it, 'and that dur
ing the effort it fell and was injured
Whatever the cause, the effort of the gen
tlemen who are managing the g.o.p. cam
paign to make capital out of the affair is
exciting only ridicule.
Mr. Bryan is a total abstainer, and
while not pretending to dictate to others
he has a few rules in this regard which
are respected. At banquets his glass is
always turned down. Never a drop of
wine or liquor is served at Fairview. Now
people are speculating on what will happen
at the White House dinners when Mr.
Bryan occupies that historic mansion.
Only Mr. and Mrs. Bryan can answer that
question, but the writer opines that the
situation will be the same as it was during
the Hayes administration when Senator
William Evarts got oft his famous "mot."

Stockmen Fear New Law
Cattlemen of the west who make a
business of handling range stock are up
I in arum apainqt n nrnrnsil law fnr flip
handling of cattle in transit, which,
they say, will prove very expensive to
them. The law now provides that
cattle may not be kept in cars over
twenty-eight hours without feed and
water except on a properly signed re
quest from the shippers, when the limit
may be extended to thirty-six hours.
There is a rumor that the government
is going to exact the unloading of range
cattle at the end of thirty-six hours for
rest, although the cattle are fed and
watered enroute. The ranchmen main
tain the cattle would get no benefit
from such a stop, but instead the cat
tle would show a greater shrinkage.
They say the caftle are afraid of
strange feed racks and watering troughs
and that it would be far better to ship
them on through when they are in cars
provided with feed and water. The
question "is not fully decided as to
whether it is necessary to stop cattle
for rest-when they have feed and wa
ter on the cars, and the ranchmen say
it will be a big handicap to them if the
law is changed. Suits have been
brought in Chicago against several of
the railroads and if these are decided
against the roads, some expensive set
tlements will have to be made which
were not anticipated. The heavy ship
pers are figuring on some steps to be
taken which will prevent a change from
the present methods.

HEAVIEST
Protective Tariff Always Favors
the Well to Do.
REAL NECESSITIES TAXED.
Duties Are Much Heavier Upon Ar
ticles That People of Small or Mod
Irate Means Aro Compelled to Buy
Than Upon Those In Which tho
Wealthy Atone Are Interested.
It is universally conceded that a tax
ought not to fall more heavily upon
those of Nintli or utcdorute wealth
than It does upon the well to do and
wealthy. It Is often considered right
that 11 tax should be graduated so as
to bear proportionately more he.ivlly
upon those haviug greater wealth. In
imposing an Income tax small incomes
are usually exempted, and the rate of
taxation Is oftcu made to increase
with the size of the Income.
It Id also generally rerognfred that a
tax upon an article of general use.
even If the tax be levied at a uniform
percentage, imposes an unjust burden
upon those having small or moderate
Incomes, for the poor man will spend
it much larger share of his Income for
the article taxed than will the million
aire. Working-men undoubtedly spend
a much larger fraction of their income
for articles like sugar or salt and
therefore pay, Iu proportion to their
wealth or Incomes, a much larger share
of the tnrlff duties 011 these articles
than Is paid by men of large wealth.
Indeed, there Is little doubt that many
a worklngmau with a large family
pays, absolutely as well as In propor
tion to Income, more of the tax on cer
tain necessaries of life than Is paid by
the millionaire because he and his fam
ily consume more.
The tax on articles of ordinary con
sumption would thus be condemned as
uujust If the poor paid at the same
rate per cent as the rich. But the
tnrlff taxes are outrageously unfair
for the further reason that almost
without exception they Impose a heav
ier rate of tux upou articles consumed
by the poor thnn upou those used by
the wealthy. This could uot be so if
all rates were ad valorem, n certniu
percentage of the value of the article
taxed, and the same rates were applied
to the cheaper articles bought by the
poor and to the costlier articles
bought by the rich. But the Dlngley
tariff contains a multitude of specific
duties, so much per pound or per ynrd.
and the effect of these duties Is to tax
the article of poor or moderate quali
ty just as much as the ttuest and most
expensive articles.
For example,' the man who buys an
unllned glove of sheep leather, "glare"
Mulsh, Is tnxed by the Dlngley tariff at
the rate of $3 per dozen, and the man
who buys a lined fancy stitched or
embroidered glove of the same ma
terial pays duty at the rate of $4.40
per do.-.en. But during the year end
ing June III). 1907. those who purchased
the former and cheaper grade were
taxed (515.28 per cent of the value of
the glove, while those who purchnsed
the latter and more expensive glove
were taxed only 14.10 per cent. The
lntter glove was worth $31 per dozen,
the former $4.53.
In ladies' or children's gloves the
discrimination was great. Gloves of
the material already mentioned over
seventeen Inches in length, worth only
$4.20 per dozen, were taxed $3.15 per
dozen, equal to 74.98 per cent of their
value, while gloves of a finer quality,
worth $19.08 per dozen, were taxed
$4.15 per dozen, equal to only 20.78
per cent of their value. Thus It was
that the poor man buying gloves of
this sort paid on his own gloves a tax
nearly five times ns henvy and on the
gloves of his wife and children a tax
nearly four times naheavy as the tax
paid by his wealthy uelgbbor.
The man who used Iron or steel
trousers buckles, worth 8 cents per
hundred, was taxed at the rate of
T7.48 per cent of their value, while the
man who could afford a better quality,
worth $1.28 per hundred, was taxed at
the rate of only 20.08 per ceuL The
man who bought spectacles or eye
glasses worth 24.4 cents n dozen paid
a tax of 9C.81 per cent of their value,
but the man buying a quality worth
$3.07 per dozen paid only 50 per cent.
The purchaser of a certain class of
watch movements worth only 85.3
cents apiece was taxed 00.02 per cent.
Tho purchaser of a quality of watch
movements worth $30.10 apiece was
taxed 31.95 per cent. Agate buttons
worth one-tenth of n cent per line en
dured a tax of 70.75 per cent. Metal
buttons worth 5 cents per line bore a
tax of 30.03 per cent.
Fur hats and bonnets of all descrip
tion averaging in value V-.GO per
dozen were taxed 90,00 per cent; those
of a quality worth $25.4!) per dozen
were taxed 47.10 per cent. Partly
manufactured wool and hair worth
33 1-3 cents per pound was taxed 1 19
per cent; that worth $1.14 per pound
was taxed 93.70 per cent. Wool blan
kets worth 23.) cents per pound paid n
duty of 105.42 per cent, blankets worth
$1.05 per pound a duty of 71.30 per
cent. Pliibhe.s aud other similar fab
rics worth 35.9 cents per pound sus
tained a tax of 111.78 per cent, those
worth $1.00 per p.ound a tax of 95.33
per cent.
It will be seen that when rHi and
poor were laying In a stock of cloth
ing I'nele Sam was guilty of dis
crimination of much the same charac
ter ns the discrimination he has sq
rout illy and justly condemned In the
railroads between small nud large
.shippers. The Dlngley duty is like the
secret rebate In more ways than one
It strikes down Its victims so Insidi
ously and secretly tint they do not
know what has wounded them. They
blauie themselves. Provl.letice, luck
anything but Mie right cause. The.
voter of moderate means who has beeu
voting for tnrlff taxes would do so ,110
longer If when he went to buy the
winter's clothing for his family h
could know-the actual truth that tint
millionaire aud his wife, trading on
the other side of the store, pay through
the storekeeper to Uncle Sam or to
the trusts a tax of only 94.32 tier cent
ou woolen or worsted cloth worth $1.12
per pound, while he pays 134.07 per
cent on similar cloth worth 33.8 cents
per pound; If he knew that his rich
friends pay for their knit fabrics
worth $1.07 per pound a tax of only
05.07 per cent, while he pays 141 par
cent on knit fabrics worth 30.4 cents
per pound; If he knew that they pay on
their winter Manuel underwear worth
more than 70 cents per pound a tax of
only 80.39 per cent, while he pays
143.07 per cent on the flannels which
he buys worth 10.4 cents iter pound.
If the obleetlon is made that not
every man buys these Imported ar
ticles, tne reply Is not dlHlcult. These
articles of widely different qualities
were actually Imported and sold, some
of them In very ' large quantities.
They bore these highly discriminating
duties, and their respective American
purchasers were treated most un
equally and partially," the consumer of
the cheaper articles paying at enor
mously greater rates than the consum
ers of the tiner qualities. In an opeu
market Is It conceivable thnt there was
uot something like the same d In
crimination In prices between the con
sumers of cheap and the consumers of
costly domestic products? In these
days much the smaller share of our
tariff taxes goes to the government
The bulk of them goes to the trusts,
which sell at prices they are enabled
to maintain because of the exclusion
of foreign competition. Meu of mod
erate means, worklugmcu, poor men of
all 'classes, have been told that tho
tariff exists for their special benefit
and protection. If this claim wero
true, would the makers of the tariff
have so arranged the rates of duty
that articles used by the wealthy bear
by far the lightest burden of taxation?

RECENT INVESTIGATION.
Shows That Workmen In Free Trado
England Faro Better Than In Pro
tected Germany.
Protectionists often compare wages
In protectionist America ami free trade
England nud assert that the higher
wages here are due to the tariff. It Ls
obvious that the comparison would be
much more logical and convincing If
we compared free trade England with
some protectionist European country
more nearly resembling England In
age. density of population aud other
conditions.
Such a comparison between England
aud highly protected Germany has re
cently been made in two English gov
ernment reports, oue dealing with
"working class rents, prices and
wages" In the industrial towns of Ger
many having just been published and
a similar report with reference to Eng
lish towns having beeu Issued last
January. A comparison of the detail
ed statistics In these reports shows
that the German laborer in all trades
but oue works more hours than the
Euglish laborer aud receives less pay
Iter hour, aud his entire wages will
buy less of the necessaries of life than
can be bought in England with the
wages of the English workmau.
Rents are found to be 23 per cent
higher In Germany than In England
for corresponding accommodations. It
Is said that it would cost an English
workman, with his habits of life, 18
per cent more to live In Germauy than
It costs him lu Englaud, aud It costs a
German workman, with his habits of
life. 8 per cent more to live lu Ger
many than it would cost him to live in
Englaud.
Skilled German engiucers earn only
from SO to 85 per cent of the corre
sponding wages In England, and in the
building trades German wages are not
more than 75 to 85 per cent of Eng
ifsh wages, while In both trades the
hours nre more than 10 per cent longer.
German printers working about the
same hours get only 83 per cent of
the English printers' wages. In the
aggregate the comparison Is over
whelmingly In favor of free trade Eng
land. DOES NOT CURB TRUSTS.
Sherman Law Declared to Be a Failuro
In This Direction.
The Sherman lnw, now widely pe.
verted from Its original significance,
was at the start Intended to preveut
combinations of domestic manufactur
ers behind the tariff wall to put up
prices and take the excess profit to
themselves, as they were enabled to
do by the excessive rates of duty. But
the law as Interpreted by the supremo
court has turned out a quite different
proposition from what was originally
Intended and has in no respect oper
ated to restrain the artificial Increase
of prices through combination. For
these reasons a lowerlug of the present
excessive rates on all classes of manu
factures to some reasonable protective
level, if that can be ascertained. Is fa
vored by tho more enlightened. New
York Journal of Commerce.
Paper Trust Reduces Wages.
Olikials of the International Paper
company recently nnnouueed a wage
cut of 10 per cent to go into effect Aug
I. It was largely on the plea of In
creased wages In Its mills that the
trust stood off the removal of tariff
duties on Its product. Now. when con
gress lias adjourned. It proceeds to lop
off the workman's share.
