O. C. Holmes, secretary of the Manu
facturers and Consumers Association of
Nebraska, was in the city yesterday
visiting our merchants. He believes,
and rightly, too, that Nebraska’s citizens
should patronize Nebraska’s manu
factories. The association has issued
a little circular on the subject, which
closes with these pertinent remarks:
‘‘The Nebraska manufactured articles
are fully equal in quality, and are in all
cases just as cheap in price, es goods
made abroad or in other states, and if
the people of tUis state will lay aside the
old-fashioned idea that things, in order
to be good, must come from a distance,
and will join in the movement in favor
of Nebraska goods for Nebraska people,
our population will be increased; the
money we are now sending away to
enrich other communities will build up
Nebraska industries and pay wages to
Nebraska workingmen, who in their
turn will buy the products of Nebraska
farmers of Nebraska merchants.

every scheme that threatens to debase
or depreciate our currency. We favor
the use of silver as currency, but to the
extent only, and under such regulations,
that its parity with gold can be main

to the free, unlimited and independent
coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1, by
this country, of all the silver of the
