NOTICE TO COMMITTEEMEN.
The republican central committee
is called to meet at the Court house
in North Platte, on
Saturday, Feb'y 27, 1892,
at one o'clock p, m.
All members of the committee are
requested to be present.
By order of the chairman.
H. M. Grimes.
The nearer the farm and factory
are to each other the greater the
home market, and the greater the
home market the creater the value
of the farm.
The Indiana republican primaries
held on Mondav elected Harrison
men to send delegates to Minneapo
lis. In but two counties was there
even a semblance of opposition.
In view of a call for an extra
session our own and only Senator
Stevens should commence refrain
ing his famous railroad bill, and
thus trim his sails for the congres
sional race.
The republican convention for
the purpose of selecting four dele-gates-at-large
to the national con
vention will be held at Kearney
April 27th. The call for a conven
tion to nominate state officers will
be issued at that time.
By the beginning of next week
the local political pot will begin to
simmer, and aspirants for municipal
offices will begin to button-hole
their acquaintances. If the mar
shalship is left out of the contest
for mayor the fight will probably
be only lukewarm.
Kearney has secured one of the
two republican state conventions to
be held this year, and tne editor or
the Hub comes in tor a good snare
of the credit in securing the prize.
Apparently the Hub is the . axis
around wnicn Aearney revolves.
We are somewhat at a loss to
know why we should fear the poli
tical power of T. Fulton Gantt,
which according to the Era we do.
Mr. Gantt had charge of the inde
pendent campaign last fall and
through his magnificent political
generalship succeeded in electing
nne man on the ticket. If he is
placed at the head of the work this
fall we opine the republicans will
carry the county with ease.
Talking of congressional candi
dates in this district, some of the
Platte valley republicans hold to
the opinion that the coming man
will be fr&in the north. Darring
ton, Whitehead and Kinkade will
come down with fair-sized delega
tions pledged to support whichever
of the trio develops the most
strength. Bv this kind of a com
bination thev can overcome the
vote of the Platte valley, in case it
is united.
C. H. Pirtle has purchased Jav
Burrows1 interest in the Farmers
Alliance newspaper at Lincoln.
Pirtle will be remembered as the
gentleman who, as cleric of the alii
ance senate, drew &600 more pav
for that service and for compiling
the nroceedinffs of tbat body for
nnhlinafinn. than ever Daid before,
But he is perhaps better known as
the man who carried B.. & M. pass
Nn InOfi for "self and wife." a cut
of which appeared in The Tribune
last fall.
In the absence of a board of
trade, the business men's associa
tion should take it upon themselves
to do a little rustline toward secur
ing the Duluth and Pueblo railroad.
With a through competing line
freight rates would be materially
reduced from the present U. P.
schedule.
Walt Mason, than whom there
is no brighter newspaper writer in
the state, has been cured of his de
sire for a "jag" through-treatment
at the Blair Keeley Institute and is
now doing editorial work on -the
Fremont Tribune. Mason was for
merly employed on the State Jour
nal and later on the World-Herald.
Jack McCall is the gentleman
whom the World-Herald predicts
will be the republican candidate for
congress in this district. Jack is a
good man to represent the Sixth,
but' many of his friends prefer to
see him" occupy the governor's chair.
At .this hour it looks as though he
would be able, to give Tom Majors
a lively chase.
Down in Somerset precinct the
people, are alive to the importance
of" having industries which will
consume their products. They will
experiment largely with sugar beets
this season, and are also taking
steps toward securing the location
of a canning factory. The enter
prise xf the Somerset'people is commendable.
Southern democratic papers are
not enthusiastic over the decision of
the United States supreme court in
favor of Boyd. They don't like the
doctrine that citizenship is primarily
a state question, nor are they pleased
to have a decision of a state supreme
court on such a question overruled
by the federal supreme court, and a
"sovereign state" thus supplied with
a new governor.
The Business Men's Association
will have a tendency to lower rather
than raise the price of goods, for if
the members can protect themselves
against parties who bjy and then
refuse to pay their honest debts
they, the merchants, can afford to
self goods at less profit. The asso
ciation will in no way prove detri
mental to the best interests of
farmers or of any other class.
The Tribune congratulates A.
H. Church on his election as senior
vice-commander of the Nebraska
Gu Ai Tt. and on the vote he received
for commander. It was only by a
strong combination that the Judge
was defeated for the last named
position, but if he is an aspir
ant next year his election will be
easy. His speech before the en
campment won him many fiends.
The fall campaign is quite a long
ways off, yet it is not too early to
organize :i laree republican league
in North Platte, ana not only here,
but in every precinct m the county.
The organization of leagues should
receive the attention of the county
central committee at its meeting
next Saturday. With well organ
ized forces it will not be difficult for
republicans to carry the county by
a" handsome majority.
.'. The. outlook for the cattle indus
try is .brighter to-day than at any
time in the history of the west. This
is the judgment of the combine,
whose agents are quietly contracting
for beeves for future delivery, and it
is the judgment of breeders also, as
well as of every well informed ob
server. In 1891 the exports of
'American baef exceeded those of
1890 by over $35,000,000. Secreta-
rv Bosk's vigorous measures for the
eilargement of the foreign market
for American cattle'have been large
ly responsible for this rapid and pro
digious develppwiens oi me ejpuri,
mess.
The Tribune modestly admits
that its county circulation is swell
ing to such proportions as to lead
the publisher to believe that the
paper is appreciated by farmers re
gardless of party affiliations. For
every subscriber who has discon
tinned his paper since the first of
January or has been cut off on ac
count of non-payment of arrear
ages, ten new subscribers have
been obtained. This is no idle
boast. The Tribute's subscrip
tion is open to all advertisers.
IN order to stimulate a little en
thusiasm among the faithful few
the Era remarks that "Lincoln
county will produce the largest
yield of independents this season
ever known here." But the Era
does not believe that such will be
the case, at least it has no founda
tion upon which to base its predic
tion. The independent generals
will find it a difficult task to keep
the alliance members- from desert
ing the independent party this year.
In fact the condition of the subor
dinate alliances in this county is
anything but satisfactory to the
political bosses.
Ben Terrell, national lecturer
of the farmers alliance and presi
dent of the confederated organiza
tions says that the republicans will
elect the next president, as the alli
ance will not support either Hill or
Cleveland, thus breaking the solid
soth. In this connection, Congress
man Charles L. Moses, of Georgia,
who is a member of the alliance and
who was elected as a democrat to
the present congresses quoted as say
ing: "If Cleveland is nominated
the democracy will lose Georgia.
Cleveland is controlled by the gold
bugs of New York. Our people will
not have it. Neither is Hill a favo
rite." Speaking on a similar topic
Col. Williams, a prominent North
Carolina politician, says: "North
Carolina will send a solid Hill dele
gation to the national convention,
but there are many Hill men who
doubt the expediency of his nomin
ation. Cleveland is probably strong
er than all the other candidates, but
the alliance opposition to him would
prevent his carrying the state."
The following appeared in the Na
tional Economist Almanac of 1890:
"Farmers, do you want a change?
Are you satisfied with 15-cent corn,
10-cent oats, 50-cent wheat, and lu
cent cow?" The l'-cent cow may
be considered a reasonable and sug
gestive topic by way of comparison
for the thoughtful farmer. In 1887
there were 72,665 head of beef cat
tle imported into the United States
after paying a duty of $2 per head.
If Kansas beef was selling at 1
cents per pound, it is indeed a poor
showing for the Kansas farmer,
when the Canadian farmer pays at
least one-quarter of a cent per
pound and then beats him in the
open market of the United States.
In order that the American farmer
may be encouraged in finding a mar
ket for his beef without foreign
competition, the McKinley bill in
creased the tariff to S10 per head.
The average importation for the last
five years has been 87,000 head per
year, and the average price for the
last nine months has been $12 per
head, equal annually to 1,250,000.
The McKinley tariff of 1890 making
it 810 per head must certainly make
it prohibitive, and the additional in
crease in sales to tne American pro
ducer must- be this neat sum of over
a million dollars. Can farmers pos
sibly fail to see the benefit of such
legislation ?

ADULTERATED FOOD.
Ed. Tribuite There are some
bills before ' congress that are of
more than usual interest to the
farmer. Among them is Senator
Paddock's pure food bill, which pro-
vides a law against tne auu iteration
of food.
It seems that close behind our
raDid strides in discoveries and in
ventions of modern times comes the
adulteration of food, and the time
has come when a pure food article
true to name, and entirely free from
poisonous substances can scarcely
be found.
Our wheat flour is mixed with
alum, buckwheat-flour is mixed
with wheat shorts, coffee with beans,
... .
pure cider vinegar with worthless
acids. There is scarcely anything
that is not adulterated. Often
chemicals are introduced that are
noisonous to the human system.
J w -
There are a class of men who
sppin to want to sandwich them
selves, clam-like, between the farmer
and consumer. These men are not
the honored laborer of the farm or
workshoD. but men who want to
live on the credulity of the general
nublic.
A few years ago oleomargarine
was sold in our markets to the
annoyance and detriment of butter
makers. There were so many
grades of this patent butter made
which resembled at sight pure
butter that none less than an expert
- 'iitiiti
chemist couia ten tne aiaerence.
Tbe consequence was tbat butter
dairies all over the country were
sinking money and were actually
forced to go out of business. But
when the law against the adultera
tion of hutter came into effect and
oleomargarine stood on its own
merits, the butter dairies were re
established and improved, the price
of erood butter began to rapidly
raise and to-day the makers of first-
class butter nearly always una sale
for their butter at a remunerative
price. This is a case where a pure
food law saved the butter industry
and made a payiug business for the
farmer.
So with many products of the
farm. It is the adulteration ot the
article: a needless advantage taken
that forces the farmer to the wall.
Take for instance the adulteration
of lard. Who in this modern day
of "invention" ever knew of the
markets being out of lard?
to the contrary you can find
in the stores at any season
year and any day of the
There it stands ready, put
nics little buckets, waiting

up in
tor a
customer. We buv a bucket and
what do we get? One half pure
hoer s lard the other half cotton seed
oil and poisonous chemicals added to
suit the taste. Now this mixture
aside from being repugnant to our
tastes works a detriment to the
common farmer. If pure hog's
lard is actually scarce let the farmer
have the benefit of supplying the
deficiency by placing upon the mar
ket nure wholesome butter.
A nnra food bill would in this
case protect the public from impure
food and open no an industry too
much neglected by the farmer
There is an old saying that "there
is no disputing about taste." It is
not the intention in this article to
discuss this point. If our foods
must be seasoned with an article
little better than bleached axle
grease I think that we as producers
and consumers ought to know
the fact.
What we need is protective laws:
laws that will compel evil and de
signing men to sell only articles of
food true to name. Let every article
of food stand on its own merits
This is fair to the consumer and
will satisfy the producer.

This remedy also counteracts any
tendency of la grippe to result in

soon the New York Herald has half

than the weather prophets ieel at
liberty to predict. We can get
along very well with Tammany as

that the country is not yet willing
to surrender to its control. Cleve

A MILLION BABBELS OF FLOUB.
How Reciprocity has made Trade with.
Cuba Plain Facts for Every
Farmer.
Grand Island Independent .
The good results of of the "reci
procity treaties recently negotiated
by our government with foreign
countries is well illustrated bvf'"the
effect of the treaty with Spain in
the nour trade ot uuoa. Dor a
number of years past the exporters
of flour from the United' -BUles-ll
have been carrying on a sharp com;
petition with the Spanish-enorjr;
of flour to Cuba. Although, lheej
was a large discrimination jn pfflgfr
of Spanish flour imported into Ciyja,"
the duty on which was 50 per cejat
less than the duty charged on Amer
ican flour, still -our exporters, were
able to divide the market. Spanish
flour was the 'product of Russian
imported to Spain and ground by
the millers in Barcelona and other
ports, and then reshipped to Cuba
as Spanish flour, and. admitted at
the low rate ( f duty. The annual,
consumption of flour in Quba hrs
amounted to about 50p,000J barrels,,
of which about one-half, or 250,000
barrels have been shipped from tjhjB
United States. This was the slate
of trade up to July 1st, 18p0. At
that date Spanish flour imported to
Cuba was made entirely free, and
20 per cent was added to the, duty,
already charged upon American
flour, making the duty on the latter
$5.64 per barrel. The result of this
change in the tariff of Cuba gave
the market almost exclusively! to
Spanish flour, and the imports from
the United States decreased iir the
year ending July 1st, 1891 to 114,
000 barrels, which represents only-a
high grade "of flour which was ne
cessity to bakers for pastry purpos
ts. By the treaty negotiated in
May last and recently put in tpera
tion it was provided that, after 'the
1st day of January, 1892. the duty
on American flour should be reduced
from 85.64 to SI per hundred kilo
grams, or to about 90 cents per bar
rel. Notwithstanding Spanish flour
is admitted free into Cuba, the-re-
sult of this treaty provisional! as
been that Spanish flour is now;en-
tirely excluded from the .market';
and the American product-hasibeen
substituted m its place, i So that
hereafter the Cuban market will -be
exclusively under the controll'oMbe
