The Smoking Chimney Top.
Morn after ’morn the artisan
Has watched with longing eye
' To see the grimy smoke In wreaths
Swirl up Into the sky;
He listened for the whistle shrill—
Its echoes came not back—
And cold and black and deaolate
Still stood the chimney stack.
He heaved a sigh
for days gone
by
When early
r rising day
Found him with
face to fac
t t’ry turned.
'Light hearted
on the way.
■- Ana now
straight on before his eyes,
While on his Journey bent,
' Behold the Bmoke-crowned chimney
stack,
Industry’s monument.
' The shouts of men give him good cheer
When he has reached his goal;
' The hissing steam the fact’ry roar
Are music to his soul.
The grimy Titans of the shop—
Waifs of the wizard’s brain—
* With deft and skillful hand he leads -
Submissive in his train;
• Or with uplifted arm he rains
Such sturdy, ringing blows
As fashion forms of usefulness.
And thrift and wealth bestows;
He laughs and sings from morn till
night
Like the miller of the Dee;
His fireside is his sweet delight:
Itich in content is he.
Ho hears again the tuneful ring
That melds the hammered steel.
He hears again the whirring din
Of swiftly turning wheel:
Ther? are the bustling ranks, of men—
Our nation’s stalwart prop;
Tiio fires are lit and there, above,
is the nomking chimney top.

RETAIL STORE TRADE.
BeueUtH Accruing to All Claude* of
Worker* Cutler the Diitglejr ]:■;!.
The free trade papers of New York
city are doing excellent work in popu
larizing the Dlngley tariff. By the aid
of illustrations, showing the examina
tion of the baggage of passengers who
arrive from Europe, they point out
.clearly to American dressmakers,
.jewelers and tailors, to the dry goods,
stores, to men’3 clothiers,^ and to all
whom they employ, that the patriotic
policy of protection will check whole
sale smuggling on the part of tourists.
The former policy of promoting the in
dustry of the smugglers also stim
ulated the robbery of the United States
treasury and encouraged the Tobbery
of American wage-earners. .Speaking
of the “unpratriotic American citizens
who go to Europe for their boots and
clothing," the Daily Telegraph of Syd
ney, Australia, said:
The swarm of these people has been
Increasing of late to such an extent
that American tailors and bootmakers
have been agitating on the subject. So
have American milliners and dress
makers. Women are .among the wont
offenders. They not only pay the cost
of a trip to Europe out of what they
save on the purchase of a year’s
dresses and personal fixings, but they
make a trifle out of the deal by bring
ing across cargoes of things on com
misssion for their female friends and
enemies. Such of these things as could
be classified as personal garments had
to be worn In order to admitted free of
duty. The elastic female conscience
used to get over this difflculty, while
the owner of it at the same derived a
certain amount of satisfaction, by try
ing on all the frippery during the trip
across. Thousands of tourists, jnen
and women, brought over enough
clothing to last them for several sea
sons. The Dingley bill is going to put
a stop to this as far as legislation can
stand against the ingenuity t>f lawless
ness.
While this statement may be some
what overdrawn, it is important to
note the interest in the subject that is
taken by a free trade paper in a free
trade British colony. At any rate the
"ingenuity of lawlessness” is being
checked, the robbery of the United
States is being stopped and the em
ployment of American labor is being
increased, to the great delight of both
male and female American wage
earners, also to the benefit of our home
store trade.
The Baying of Food.
Retaliation will be next in order, and
it is almost certain that means will be
found to discourage the importation of
our breadstuffs and meat products and
petroleum into European countries that
will find the markets of the United
States closed to their manufacture by
the new Republican tariff bill.—Spring
field, 111., Register. .
Europeans are not going ta cut off
their noses to spite their faces. If they
arc in need of food, and know they can
buy it from the United States, they will
buy it here. If they don't need it,- not
all the free-trade calamity howlers in
the world will make them buy it.
True to Their Record.
Once more the Republican party has
proven itself the greatest political or
ganization in constructive ability
which the nation has known. Another
Republican promise has been grandly
performed, and the prosperity which
has been absent for many years will
soon be restored to the country.—Kit
;aning (Pa.) Press. ,
’Twas ever thus. But the best of It
is that the people, having had their
"object lesson,” have realized the full
force of Republican teachings, thus as-,
suring the maintenance of Republican
prosperity for many years to come.
Free Trade In AumraKn.
An advertised meeting of those will
ing to form a branch of the Australian
I’ree Trade Democratic league, In the
colony of Victoria, resulted in the
presen'ce of exactly three people. One
‘ of these was a reporter, who left the
other two gazing at each other with
every appearance of dejection at the
prospects of the cause.

The sunstreaks of prosperity oan be

—Clarion, Pa.
Hence the surrounding brightness.
Ha Pi u lea tat h Too Hook.
Tile Japanese minister to Franca,
Hr. Sone Arasuke, is reported by table
as having said that: ^
The Dingiey tariff would ruin Ja
pan’s great and growing trade with the
United States in carpets and mats,
r.nd he protested against the placing
of prohibitive duties upon goods for
which there is no corresponding indus
try in the United States.
The minister protesteth too much.
It may be that we do not manufacture
precisely the same quality and grades
of carpets and mats that Japan does;
but we do have Industries in the United
States that manufacture other qualities
and grades of carpets and mats. The
minister must be perfectly well aware
that every Japanese mat or carpet
which we Import takes the place of a
mat or carpet that might have been
produced in our own mills. Hence the
necessity for protection to our own in
dustries.
He Stand* by the Ship.
The Republican administration is al
ready In very rough water, and the
storm threatens to grow still darker
and fiercer as days roll on. It is hard,
however, to entertain the Idea, support
ed by rumor, that the pilot contem
plates resigning his duties In a panic
or a huff.—"Northern Whig," Belfast.
Quite the contrary. The water is
much smoother and the storm clouds
are breaking quicker than at any time \
within the past four years. As for
Pilot McKinley’s deserting the ship,
never. He is not made of that kind
of stuff. He will stand by the Repub
lican ship of state as long as it has a
plank left In the political sea.
Maine Sets the Pace.
In the general “slump” which fol
lowed the advent of the free trade
party Into the control of the govern
ment In 1893 wages on the Maine Cen
tral railroad were cut down, and they
stayed at the cut figure until the free
trade party went out of office. But
among the first fruits of the restoration
of protection to American industries is
the restoration of wages in the Sfalne
Central to what they were previous to
1893. They used to say, “As Maine
goes, so goes the Union.” Maine has
set the right pace this time and it will
not be long until the rest of the Union
follows with better earnings' for the
people.
Where 1* Grover*
Oh for the scorching breath of some
mighty political prophet that would
pierce the mass of political rottenness
to the center and lay bare the hld&n
sources of corruption, is the cry of the
people at present.—“Long-Islander,”
Huntington, L. I.
Where is the “stuffed prophet” ol
Princeton? Who is there more able to
“pierce the mass of political rottenness
to the center?” Who is there, with
more experience, that can “lay bare the
hidden sources of corruption” than'Dr:
Cleveland?
Southern Sentiment*
“There is no one who has kept up
with the reports of the business condi
tions in the various states but is com
pelled to admit that there is a prospect
of much better times before the close
of the present year."—Richmond, Va.,
States.
Thus is the advent of protection her
alded in the south. But why should
there be any "compulsion” about ad
mitting the better times? We must
be careful, however, to keep the gate
locked and prevent their escape again.
Ko Middle Ground*
Dr. Cleveland, while he was the occu
pant of a public office, once said that:
“This question of free raw material
does not admit of adjustment on any
middle ground.”
The American people agree with the
doctor. They have settled the question
of free raw material, not "on any mid
dle ground,” but by compelling the ab
solute protection of all so-called “raw
material,” which is always the finished
product of some of our wage earners.
Free Trad* Reasoning.
“A man convinced against his will is
of the same opinion still” must be
the watchword of the free-traders. The
free trade Boston Herald announced
that if prosperity did not come to fhe
country within a year the Republican
party would be held responsible, but.
it went on to say, that if prosperity did
come, it would be due to other causes
than the tariff. Truly tho methods of
reasoning employed by the free traders
are past finding out.
Th* “Kndlea* Chain Brokan."
What has become of the “endless
chain” in the treasury department? It
seems to have been broken off short
since we had a Republican President
in whom the country had such confi
dence that money flows into the treas
ury instead of into old stockings and
teapots. The “endless chain” is a
thing of the past and.will not be heard
of again as long as a protective tariff
is in force.
Statesmanship.
"Every tariff is more or less an ex
periment; but there is every reason to
believe that the Dingley bill will prove
to be a satisfactory experiment, and
that it will stand for years as an ac
cepted settlement of the tariff ques
tion."—Statesman, Yonkers, N. Y.
This is spoken like a true “States
man.”
Better Protection.
The payment of fees to American
consuls is, of course, distasteful to
foreign exporters. But the heavier
these fees are made the stronger be
comes our policy of protection.
STRAIGHT,GOOD TALK
NEBRASKA REPUBLICAN PLAT
FORM IN FULL.
Tariff Legislation That Brlt.frs Good
Times Commended—The Goveunor
and Hl< Action Condemned—
Katarn of Business Cnafldeno*
Welcomed.
Nebraska Republican Platform.
The platform of the republicans of
Nebraska having’ heretofore only been
printed in condensed form, the same
is now given in full, as follows:
The republicans of Nebraska reaffirm
the principles enunciated by the na
tional republican convention in 1896,
and congratulate the country upon the
triumphant popular indorsement of
those principles in the election of
William McKinley and tiarrett A.
Hobart.
We commend the tariff legislation
enacted in the special 'session of con
gress at the instance of President Mc
Kinley as the most effective measure
for vitalizing the patriotic principle of
protection to American industries,
through which American manufactur
ers are enabled to compete successfully
with the imported products of foreign
labor, American workingmen are af
forded an opportunity to secure em
ployment at remunerative wages dnd
American farmers secure the benefit of
a market through increased home con
sumption.
We hail with joy the return of busi
ness confidence, financial health, and
better prices for the products of the
farm and factory, since the election of
a republican president and congress.
We take this first occasion to express
our abhorrence of the crimes com
mitted by the late defaulting state
treasurer and state auditor, which
prove their recreancy to republican
morals and their departure from re
publican teachings, and we urge their
speedy prosecution and trial, and if
found guilty, their severe punishment.
We also demand that immediate steps
be taken to recover all public funds
that have been wrongfully diverted
from the treasury. We condemn the
governor for failing to exercise his
prerogative in requiring the treasurer
to make an exhibit of, and account
from time to time for the public funds
in his custody, and by reason of this
palpable dereliction of duty he cannot
escape his share of the responsibility
for the treasury defalcation.
We deplore the discredit that has
been brought upon the state by ill-ad
vised attempts of the present state ad
ministration to array class against
class for partisan purposes, and to
manufacture testimony to prove that
our farmers are paupers, and that the
laws are inequal and inadequate for
the protection of the interests of the
laboring man.
We most earnestly denounce the at
tempt of the present state officials in
conjunction with the majority of the
legislature at its late session to falsify
the returns of the last state election
on the proposed constitutional amend
ment increasing the number of justices
of the supreme court.
The reckless disregard of law and
Contempt of public decency that char
acterized the action of the governor
and the joint legislative committee
that pretended to recount the ballots
in their efforts to cancel and overturn
by legerdemain, an overwhelming ma
jority returned against the amend
ment, and to carry the same by star
chamber proceedings, are without pre
cedent in the political annals of the
country.
We learn with extreme regret of the
increase by the railroads of freight
rates on grain transported between
Chicago and the seaports, and we call
on the inter-state commerce commis
sion to investigate this advance in
rates and take such steps as will pro
tect the farmer and shippers of the
west from the payment of unreason
able transportation charges. We also
favor such amendments of the inter
state commerce act as will give the
commission power to enforce its own
orders.
The heroic struggle of the Cubans to
achieve their independence and secure
the blessings of liberty and self-gov
ernment commands our warmest sym
pathy. We express our abhorrence of
the cruel warfare of extermination
waged by Spain against the Cuban in
surgents, and we urge the speedy in
tervention of our government, before
the Island of Cuba is completely de
vastated, either by according her be
liggerent rights or recognizing her
independence as a free and independ
ent nation.
We commend the fidelity and effici
ency of Senator Thurston and Con
gressmen Mercer and Strode in the
discharge of their official duties and
their loyalty to republican principles.
Resolved, That we heartily com
mend the attitude of our representa
tives in congress towards combinations
of capital in restraint of trade, that
seek in this or any other way to con
trol the prices of the necessaries of
life, and that the attention of the vot
ers of Nebraska be called to the fact
that the only federal statute that seeks
to protect consumers from the ravages
of trusts, was indited by the Hon.
John Sherman, our present secretary
of state, passed by republican votes
and signed by a republican president,
and has been sustained by the supreme
court of the United States; that we
commend the steps taken by the last
legislature to improve the effective
ness of the Sherman anti-trust law,
believing that in due time, the execu
tive department of the present admin
istration will be able thereby to suc
cessfully cope with combinations that
are in spirit or execution antagonistic
to those well defined and cherished
principles lying at the foundation of
this republic.
Whitt Hart* Nebraska.
Dec Moines Register: The Omaha
World-Herald is edited by a disordered
brain. It has been a misleader of pub
lic sentiment in that state in spite of
its continued recklessness in regard
to truth and intelligence. Replying
to a recent paragraph in the Register
in regard to Iowa land being more val
uable than Nebraska land, because of
the more correct views of intelligent
and safe government on the part of
the roaiority of the people of Iowa, the
World Herald attempts to make it ap
pear that the difference in the price of
land in the two states “is due to the
fact that the Missouri river is a basing
point for railroad rates, and that an
Iowa farmer on the Missouri river has
[ a clear advantage, in freight rates over
the farmer who lives just across the
river.” That is untrue and it has been
untrue ever since the railroads were
bringing freights from 300 miles west
of Omaha. The freight rates from
west of Omaha to Chicago are cheaper
than the freight rates of the Iowa
farmers on the Missouri river. That
fact has been proved every time the
matter has been brought before the
inter-state commerce commission, and
the commission has upheld the cheaper
freight rates on Kansas grain shipped
through Kansas City to Chicago. It
will be well for the editor of the
World-Herald to rest his disordered
free silver brain while reading up on
the freight rate question from his own
city and state to Chicago in compari
son with the freight rates from Iowa
points to Chicago.
The wild theories of the majority of
the voters of Nebraska are responsible
for the cheaper lards and higher inter
est rates in that state than in Iowa;
that is for the lands 150 to S00 miles
west of Omaha. Beyond those limits
the soil is sandy and therefore not so
valuable as the land of Eastern Ne
braska which has been cheapened by
the action of the ma jority of the vot
ers of that state endorsing the ignor
ant theories advocated by the Omaha
World-Herald. That is the plain
truth, and it is time the voters of the
state of Nebraska should be reading
and heeding the plain truth, for that
is the only method by which the land,
interest rates and business methods of
the state of Nebraska can be again re
stored to an equal footing with the
more intelligent government of Iowa.
, The minority sentiment in Nebraska is
all right, but it is suffering from tha
constantly depressing and destrnctiva
influence of the majority deceived and
mislead by W. J. Iiryan and the Omaha
World-Herald. * * *
Nebraska is all right, except the pea
pie of the Omaha World-llerald class—
the people who have been deceived and
mislead into voting disaster and dis
honor upon their state. The World
Herald should relieve itself of its brain
disorder, and will be compelled to do
so within the next two years, for the
people of Nebraska now realise that
they have blindly followed disordered
minds to their own great Injury and
the dishonor of their state. Keep an
eye on Nebraska's congressional elec
tions next year, for certain it is that
Nebraska will be redeemed to civiliza
tion in 1808.

Populists Sold Oat ond Swallowed Dp,
It is probably a fact that there were
more populists in Lincoln at the recent
convention who favored a straight
populist nomination than otherwise.
Quite a large number of those, when
they found the fusion element in con
trol, left on the evening trains and
thus took no real part in the conven
tion. The tip was quietly given among
the fusion leaders that if the proceed
ings were delayed long enough the
middle-of-the-road populists would tire
out and go home, and the work would
then go along more smoothly. This is
really what happened; and during the
deliberations, when it became plainly
manifest that the master hands of
Bryan, Allen, Holcomb and othe*s
were guiding the party straight up to
fusion, many delegates left the hall
and did not return.
That the conventions did not repre
sent the whole state is proven by the
fact that fifteen of the western count
ies were without representation in the
populist convention, and about the
same number were absent from the
other two conventions. In some oases,
whole delegations left for home, leav
ing no one behind to cast the vote of
their counties, and when the silver
republican crowd came to the decision
which brought about the nomination
of Sullivan there were scarcely fifty
counties represented in the ball.
Many populists who went to Lincoln
with a determination to preserve the
identity of their party and compel the
two smaller parties to join with them
feel that they have been sold out and
their party swallowed up, and those
who remained in the city were freely
expressing themselves on the subject.
They pointed ont that in spite of the
fact that the silver republicans cast an
insignificant vote in the state, their
convention was conceded exactly the
same power as the others in the selec
tion of the nominee, and in the end
practically turned dictator in making
the selection between Neville and
Sullivan. They believe that the popu
list party, with a vote aggregating ten
times the number of silver republicans
in the state, should have been 0--'-eiled
a proportionately greater pov er i 1 the
selection of candidates.
The majority of rising young men of
today run elevators.
A gift with a string to it is a great
drawback to charity.
CHURCH REBELLION.
Mrethren Iloo’t Dwell Togethnt In Fwn
mad t’nltjr.
'S' % V ‘
Chicago, sept 10.—Rebellion baa
broken out in the Methodist Episcopal
church. The laymen demand equal
representation with the ministers in
the great quadrennial legislature of
the church. Three times have the
ministers voted on the question and
defeated it and the laymen have lost
patience. The church will bo brought
face to face next week with a revolt
that will probably overshadow the
question of women delegates in tha
general conference.
Representatives of Pennsylvania
and New Jersey conferences issued an
address for the change. Leading lay
men of Indiana called a state conven
tion to meet at Indianapolis next
Wednesday to .consider the question.
A lay convention, representing tha
Cincinnati conference, sent greetings
last week to the Indiana convention
and urged the calling of a na
tional convention. The laymen of
Central Illinois conference have
called a convention to meet at Can
ton, September 17, and that meeting
will probably take action on this ques
tion. Another trig convention will bo
held in Baltimore next month, and, if
not forestalled by the Indianapolis
convention, it is expected to issue a
call for a national convention of Meth
odist laymen to make plans to bring
tho ministers into line.
Under the rules of the church each
conference is entitled to at least one
lay delegate,but In no ease oan it have
more than two. In the general con
ference at Cleveland last year 16,000
ministers had 317 representatives,
while the 2,700,o0o laymen of the
church had bnt 100. In Indiana 13*
preachers had seven representatives,
while 00,000 laymen had but twa
Under this system many small con
ferences have disproportionately large
representation, while the large con
ference that contributes heavily to tha
support of the church can have only
one lay delegate more than the small
eonference over in China or India,
that has to be supported by money
sent from America. There is little
doubt that a national convention of
laymen will be held and it promises to
bring out many of the moat prominent
members of the church.
