The campaign is going to be a
hot one, anyway.
Bbyan’s claim to statesmanship
rests solely upon the income tax
danse of the democratic tariff law,
which was declared by the supreme
court to be unconstitutional.
In obeat economio crises, ignor
ance, consciousness of guilt and ex
citement always join handB to drag
the government into the prisoner’s
clock, and they will always be in
clined to make it a demand of
healthy common sense and an un
assailable logical deduction that
legislation should now veer about
■ and Bteer, under full canvas in an
opposite direction.—Yon Holt Const
History, Chapter II, Page 198.
Editors ought not to be expected
to write good things during fly
time. . Few country offices can
" afford screen doors, and if they all
had them they would be found in
- effective as the constant stream of
irate subscribers coming in to ’‘stop
the paper” would keep the doors
j open all the time anyway. There is
nothing, not even a bill collector,
that can wreck a train of sublime
thought with as much neatness and
dispatch as a healthy and industrious
W* have said it before bat we
fed like reiterating, that we can see
bat one question involved in this
free silver problem, and that is this:
Would free coinage at 16 to 1 oaose
silver to appreciate in valne enough
to make the bullion value of the
dollar equal to a gold dollar? If it
would do that then the only effect of
free coinage would be to increase1
our per capita circulation, and that
perhaps would be no bad thing, but
if it failed to do that then we would
be on a single silver standard. The
labor element in countries having
the silver standard is not prosper
ous, consequently it would be a bad
thing. Looked at from any stand
point it is an experiment and a dan
gerous one.
DuxiJta the past week a paper has
V been in circulation in O’Neill for the
purpose of enrolling members of
the McKinley dub. A glance over
v the roster is interesting. It does
; not discloao a single republican
*. to the free silver cause, but on the
contrary shows substantial gains.
. *y Every man who was marked "sure”
on republican poll books two years
' ago is still in line. While a few of!
. the "doubtful” ones have announced
themselves for Bryan, the number of
r; , straight pops and democrats who
' have declared for McKinley more
v than evens np matters. The out
i. look in this community is encourag
ing, and if other locdities hold their
own as well, there will be a glorious
victory for right when this cam
paign of education shall have fin
ished.
Unless a good many signs fail
this silver question will be very
much discussed before the election
settles it. You can hear nothing
else. You hear it on the street
corners, in the postoffice, on the
train, in the bowery, in the hotel
lobbies, in the dining rooms and
every other conceivable place. And
it is heart-breaking, too, to note the
dense ignorance that surrounds it
There is about one man in five that
has more than a faint idea of the
question and what its adoption
would mean to this country, yet
these are the individuals that always
have their mouths wide open and
; their tongues wagging out argu
ments that are voice, nothing but
voice. The less a man knows rela
tive to the subject the louder he
talks. He seems to think that a sur
plus of sound will make good a
deficit in logic. The arguments
advanced by some of these fellows
would make a sphinx shed tears of
sorrow. To hear a man say that
10 to 1 means that were free silver
to be adopted every man would
have sixteen dollars for every one
he now has surfeits us with gloom
and makes us despondent It is
useless to attempt to enlighten such
unfortunate people and they might
just as well be left to go to the
demnition bow-wows in their own
peculiar way, wise in their own
conceit
An old gentleman on hia way di
rect from Mexico to Valentine stop
ped over in O’Neill last week. A
Fbontixb reporter learning of his
presence in the city thought it
would be a good ohanoe to learn
something regarding the workings
of free silver in our sister country
to the south, and with that end in
view sought an interview with the
stranger. He found him sitting in
front of the Ogden Hotel, and after
introducing himself said that he
understood he had recently been in
Mexico. The stranger said he had. 1
The reporter then asked him what
he thought of free silver. The old
gentleman was somewhat retioent,
but under the influence of a good
cigar he loosened up a little and ,
said:
“This free silver craze—that’s ;
what I call it, I don’t know what |
name you have for it—if carried
out would prove the worst blow i
ever struck at American labor. It
has proven so in Mexioo and I see
no reason why the result would not
be the same in the United States. ■
In Mexioo there are certain classes
benefitted by free silver, but it is
not the laboring class. It is the 1
mine owners and plantation owners
principally. The plantations raise i
produoe mostly, for export Their <
gooas are sold tor gold m America 1
and Europe, the gold ie taken back 1
to Mexico, where two silver dollars ■
are bought for one gold dollar and <
the labor is paid in. silver. Silver I
will bay bat half as much of the 1
necessaries of life as gold, hence the 1
laboring man is defrauded of half !
his earnings, and he works for 1
nothing, almost, to begin with. In '
the railroad business it is a little 1
different. You know that nearly i
all the lines are owned by the 1
Americans and English, and their !
employes are under contraot to re- *
oeive in pay the money of their !
own country. They won’t aoeept <
'adobe' dollars, as they call them.
“I am a machinist by trade, and
not long ago was putting in Borne '
machinery in a mine down there. ,
One pay day the treasurer was sick
and the boss* gave me a check for
$10,000 and told me to go to town
and get the money. I went to the
bank and presented my check. The
cashier threw down- before me ten
sacks containing one thousand silver
dollara each. I looked at them in
amazement and asked what I was
going to do with that stuff, as eaoh
sack weighed a little over 68 pounds.
He said he didn’t' know; that my
check called for $10,000 and there
it was; that silver was the money of
the country and they paid in noth
ing else. I bought three mules to
take that money to camp.”
“Then,” continued he, “Just look
at this pair of shoes I am Wearing.
I went into a store in Mexico, pick
ed them out and asked the price.
The clerk said they sold (or 95. I
pulled out my money to pay for
them, when the clerk, noticing that
I had some United States gold coin,
said they would only cost two and a
half if I paid in the yellow metal.
“It is such things as these that
cause me to shudder when I think of
free silver in the United States. And
that would not be the worst of it.
The day that Bryan is elected our
1000,00C,000 of gold coin will go
out of circulation. That is as sure
as fate. It will reduce our circu
lating medium just that much. Then
before we can do anything to relieve
the stringency this will have caused,
the silver men must secure control
of the house of representatives.
That will take twenty months. When
the law is finally passed it will be
found that the capacity of our
mints is but forty millions per year,
bo you see it will take 15 years to
coin six hundred millions and give
us as mnch money as we had before
the law drove out the gold. And
let me tell you that during that
period, especially during the first
twenty months, this country will
experience hard times such as
Ignatius Donnelly in his wildest
flights never dreamed of.’’
We regret that we cannot give in
full the remarks of the traveler, but
those that we mentally noted fnmish
food for thoughtful consideration.
It is folly to think that free coinage
in the United States would place
the two metals upon a commercial
equality at 16 to 1. It is more than
Folly to think that free coinage could
ae a success upon any other basis.

so common in summer-time,
accompanied by loss of energy,
lack of thought-power, means
a deficient supply of nourish

The tobacco habit growe on a man un

id, impairing health, comfort and happi

hook to the system, as tobaeoo, to an in

luro” is a scientific cure for the tobaeco
iabit, in all its forms, oarefully com
manded after the formula of an eminent
ierlin physloian who has used it in his
irivate practice since 1872, without a
allure. It is purely vegetable and guar
inteed perfectly harmless. You can use

IVis.—Gentlemen: For forty years I
ised tobaeoo in all its forms. For 25
fears of that time I was a great sufferer
from general deoility and heart disease.
For fifteen years I tried to quit, but
wouldn’t. I took various remedies,
among others “No-To-Bac,” “The Indian
robacco Antidote,” “Double Chloride of
Sold,” etc., etc., but none of them did me
the least bit of good. Finally, however,
1 purchrsed a box of your “Baoo-Curo"
and it has entirely cured me of the habit
In all its forms, and I have increased 80
pounds in weight and am relieved from
all the numerous aches and pains of
body and mind. I oould write a quire of
paper upon my changed feeling and con
dition. Yours respeotfully,

There isn’t s store in the whole country that sells clothing as
“The Nebraska” does. It is an exceptional store, it is a rsliable store,
it is an absolutely safe store. The price today is the price tomorrow
and the next day, and the price to one is the price to all We have
no favorites, we make no discounts, and we never resort to catch
penny methods of marking some goods low in order to sell you other
goods high. Our practice of instantly refunding money when goods
don’t suit is the best proof you can have that our goods and prices
are all right. For eleven years we have been building up a vast bus
iness on these principles and our business was never so large, our
prices never so low, as they are this spring.

save you a geeat many dollars above what you have to pay for the
^ same qualities at home. It is a book that ought to be in every
clothing buyer’s hand.
