Dom Ilryan'K Kay note.
St Louis Globe-Democrat: The
chief significance which attaches to
the action of the Nebraska convention
lies in the fact that Bryan dictated it.
Local pride coerced the populists and
the Bilver ex-republicans into line for
Bryan’s candidate for head of the tick
et this year—ex-Oovernor Holcomb,
who runs in 1899 for supreme judge.
The platform was dictated by Bryan
himself, and is interesting as showing
what he wants to be made the issues
for 1900. The platform repeats the sil
ver folly of 1896. It makes a frothy
and demagogic attack on trusts, which
his party, when in control of the gov
ernment, never made any attempt to
curb. It makes an assault on national
expansion, and endeavors 10 give alo
and comfort to Agulnaldo and bis fel
low conspirators by assailing the ad
ministration for endeavoring to carry
out the provisions of the peace treaty
with Spain in the maintenance of the
national sovereignty in the Philippines.
All this is exceedingly gratifying to
the republicans. They now have a
fair assurance that Bryan will be bait
ed Into demanding a reindorsement
of the 45-cent dollar infamy in 1900.
They can see pretty clearly that he
will tempt fate on an anti-expansion
declaration. There was a fear among
some republicans that he would be
overruled by the shrewd leaders of the
party, and forced into making a siranr
dle on silver and expansion. No dan
ger of this sort now seems imminent
The democratic platform of 1900 will
have the same medley of follies and
absurdities as were in the deliverance
of 1896. with a few added crankerles
and imbecilities. Adversity teaches
Bryan nothing. The silliness and re
actionism which brought disaster to
him and his aggregation three years
ago will be repeated next year, ,und
will be supplemented by a few more
follies which will add a little to the
majority which will be rolled up
against him and his cause. The west
ern end of his patry is as insane on
the burning issues of the time as it j
was in 1896, and Bryan voices its
madness as automatically as he did
then.
Can Bryan's ticket carry Nebraska
this year? The chances are decidedly
against it. Nebraska’s corn crop, ac
cording to the estimates, will be in
the neighborhood of 276,000,000 bush
els this year. The number of farm
mortgages which have been paid off
in that state in the past six or eight
months beats all records in the same
length of ttme. Nebraska Is having
greater prosperity at this moment than
it ever had before in all its history.
Its propsperity will be heightened by
the marketing of its present unexam
pled corn crop. This is a bad outlook
for Bryan. He needs calamity In hia
‘ business, and there is none of it this
year anywhere in the country. A
killing drouth or frost throughout Ne
braska in the next month or two would
make thousands of votes for him. An
epidemic of yellow fever or Asiatic
cholera would also help him. He is
doubtless praying for some scourge
of the kind, but he will hardly be grat
ified this year. The prospects for Hoi •
comb are black. The c.»ancea are that
the republicans will carry Nebraska
this year and next year.
The Trlpllcite Platform.
Omaha Bee: The triplicate plat
form Upon which Silas A. Holcomb
stands as a candidate for justice of the
supreme court is an adroit piece of
carpentering more significant for the
planks so studiously omitted than for
the planks that have been projected
to the front. Inasmuch as Colonel
Bryan himself was its chief construct
or it was to have been expected that
he would rafllrm the Chicago platform
and give special emphasis to the free
silver plank which constituted the
paramount issue in the last national
campaign. It is noteworthy, however,
that while the platform declares for
the unlimited free coinage of silver
without the aid or consent of any other
nation at a ratio double the relative
value of the metal, and while the plat
form seeks to free the traffic of the
country from the transportation mo
nopoly by demanding government
ownership by railroads, there Is no
hint even of government ownership of
the gold and silver mines that would
make free silver coinage profitable to
the people instead of the silver mine
owners and speculators in mining
stocks.
u is passing strange aiso mat wnue
the platform so carefully drafted by
Mr. Uryan demands government own
ership of railroads which he knows to
be way off in the distance, it is as still
as a mouse about railroad regulation
in Nebraska. The great platform
builder must surely have known that
the triple alliance stood solemnly
pledged to railroad regulation in every
former campaign—a pledge it has will
fully repudiated by the acts of Gov
ernor Holcomb and the railroad com
missioners appointed with the consent
of the railroad managers who trans
ferred the mortgages formerly held by
them from the bogus republican com
mission to the sham reform commis
sion.
The triple platform is very expansive
on national issues, but steers clear of
the issues in which the people of Ne
braska are most concerned, notably
the revision of our revenue laws, the
more equitable distribution of tax bur
dens and the more economic conduct
of state and county affairs.
Holcomb'* Financial Theories.
Nebraska City Conservative: The
Ho’.comb application of the financial
theories ‘of llryanarehy to the collec
tion of house rent from the treasury
of the state of Nebraska for the liqui
dation of leases for a gubernatorial
mansion in Lincoln is patriotic from
a populist standpoint, ingenious from
that of a swindler and a superb suc
cess from the standpoint of a profes
sional pickpocket. Never in any other
state disbursement has 16 to 1 been
better illustrated. Out of every hun
dred dollars drawn by Governor Hol
I comb, for rent of executive residence,
| about 515 were silently and sweetly
lowered into his own pocket while
only one went to pay rent as by law
I intended to go. This misappropriation
of public funds is, however, in fusion
politics as at present dominated and
managed, accepted as the best evidence
of vigorous ability and statesmanship.
To get something, anything, out of the
commonwealth is wisdom, and to re
tain or put anything into the common
wealth is folly and disloyalty.
Effrontery of "slippery 81 ”
Kearney Hub: It has come to a
great pass when this demagogue and
plotter (Holcomb) should he nomi
nated for the supreme court. Indeed,
it is a most dangerous proposition. A
great deal of effrontery is required to
do this, after the dubious record made
by “Slippery SI,” after his knowledge
and approval of the ballot recount
frauds, after his pass-grabbing and
monopoly-favoring record, and after
his house rent steal and attempted
justification on the ground that his
predecessors had also stolen all that
was left. Such men as Holcomb can
be tolerated in politics. But the propo
sition to put them into a judiciary for
long terms is absolutely startling in
its brazen political effrontery. If we
must make up our higher courts of
such political cattle, chattels or mer
chandise, then may the Lord save the
people, for they are no longer capable
of saving themselves.
llryan'a Hand In All.
Washington Post: The Nebraska
platform, dictated by Mr. Bryan, differs
in words, but not in substance, from
its Iowa contemporary. In addition to
the general, it has a specific indorse
ment of free coinage. Why this
change? Simply because the condi
tions were different. There were three
conventions assembled at Omaha to
combine or coalesce for the campaign,
the number of delegates to each being
as follows: Populist, 1,289; democrat
ic, 800; silver republicans, less than a
hundred. How could democrats dic
tate to populists under such condi
tions? The Chicago Times-Herald,
looking at the two platforms and the
circumstances under which they were
constructed, says: “Mr. Bryan is thus
accommodating himself to the exigenc
ies as they exist in the several states.’’

Has I.ost Ills <>rlp.
Fremont Tribune: Mr. Holcomb, it
is fair to state, does not stand as high
in public esteem today as he once did.
Long public serivce has developed his
weakness. He is not a lawyer of dis
tinguished ability. He is mediocrity.
There are democratic lawyers who
would have been glad to stand for
election who possess greater talent.
The democrats of Dodge county are
not likely to take over kindly to the
Holcomb candidacy. The populists
have claimed everything, and here
where they are of no considerable num
ber, the democrats do not see the utility
of surrendering everything to them.
Holcomb and the House Kent.
The populist editors are beginning
to shriek in chorus that “Holcomb
never stole any house rent.” The
record shows that he drew from the
treasury several hundred dollars more
for house rent than the owners of the
houses in which he lived received as
rent. Call it what you please. The
state paid the money to Holcomb ano
his landlord didn’t receive it.

ALL ARE AT WORK.
A TYPICAL CENTER OF PRO
TECTED INDUSTRY.
Kilnardlnirj Showing by a Free-Trade
Journal on the Condition of Things
That Hai Followed the Iteaioratlon of
the American Policy.
The New York World has discovered
the existence of a Greater Klondike.
It is located in Pittsburg, that hive of
protected Industries, and the World’s
correspondent is telling some tall sto
ries of the wonderful products of the
region. The stories are well told, and
they have the additional merit of be
ing true—which is more than can be
said of all the World’s stories. Re
duced to a brief form of statement, the
situation in western Pensylvania’s in
dustrial Eldorado is thus described:
‘‘Area of Pittsburg's industrial Klon
dike, 180 square miles.
“Number of industries being operat
ed on full time, 118.
“Number of men employed in these,
embracing ail claeses, 270,000.
“Average wages per day, $2.15.
“Range of wages, $1.75 to $7 per
day.
“Number of idle men, none, except
from sickness.
“Number of mills and factories un
able to run full time by reason of scar
city of labor, 60.
“Railroads unable to move freight
promptly because the traffic is 30 per
cent larger than all the freight cars In
service.
“Groes industrial value of trade in
Industrial Klondike, $6,000,000.”
Further along we find the World, a
free-trade Journal, testifying to the
wonderful results of the revival of in
dustry that has occurred since the re
advent of protection and prosperity. It
i prints the following table, showing
“the extent to which labor ha3 shared
One came from Alabama, the other
from Ohio. The Alabama man wanted
200. He was told that the manufac
turers in the Pittsburg district wanted
men as badly as he did. He went fur
ther east tonight, seeking them.
"Common laborers are almost as
6carce a3 skilled hands. Mr. Williams,
secretary of the Amalgamated associa
tion.told the World staff correspondent
today that unskilled laborers could find
employment throughout the district.
Contractors employing laborers on
public improvements are constantly
seeking men.
"John C. Sheehan, the former boss of
Tammany Hall, who has a contract
for constructing Pittsburg's new
$5,000,000 boulevard, is inconvenienced
by the limited supply of laborers.
“E. B. Taylor, general superintend
ent of the Pennsylvania lines west of
Pittsburg, said today that hia road
could not secure as many men as he
desired.
“The same story i3 heard in every
line of trade, but principally, as is nat
ural, from mill owners—not men
enough, cars enough, facilities enough
to meet the new conditions that are
making the 180 square miles of mines,
(orges.mills and factories around Pitts
burg a veritable Golconda of wealth.
“Next to the shortage of labor comes
the transportation famine as a factor
in retarding the fullest operation of
the industries in the Pittsburg district.
Mine, mill and factory owners all com
plain of their inability to secure
enough cars to carry their product to
the markets.
"Railway officials have pressed into
service all the cars they can secure
from any quarter, yet there are not
enough.
"It may be that the shippers them
selves are to blame, as the railway of
ficials declare. Their complaint is that
the' mill owners and mine operators
are compelled to utilize the cars for
storage purposes because of the lack
of room in their establishments.
UNRESTRICTED DOMESTIC COMPETITION.
H. O. Havemeyer (testimony before the United States industrial com
mission, June 14, 1899)—The customs tariff is the mother of trusts.
Madam Protection—If you insist upon being recognized as a member of
this family, you must be prepared to submit to its discipline and restraints.
‘ Unrestricted Domestic Competition” is the rule of this establishment.
In the increased prosperity that has
come to the iron and steel center of
America during the past year”:
Increased wages.
Trade— , per cent.
Tin plate workers . 15
Sheet iron mill men:
Tonnage hands . 11V4
Day hands. 25
Finishers. 25
Steel workers, both in and out
of the Amalgamated Associ
ation .10 to 15
In this table no account Is taken of
increased employment. A detailed ex
hibit of this important branch of the
subject would doubtless show that the
number of men who are now receiving
the increased rate of wages is nearly
double the number which received the
lower rate of wages paid four years
ago in the Pittsburg district. Four
years ago, an equivalent length of time
after the enactment of the Wilson free
trade tariff, scarcely more than one
half the workers of the Pittsburg dis
trict could command steady employ
ment at the then lower rate of wages.
Today, two years arter tne enactment
of the Dlngley tariff, not only are
wages much higher, but the supply of
labor is not equal to the demand. Again
let the free-trade World tell the story:
“When Mr. Bryan, the aspirant for
the Democratic presidential nomina
tion, recently visited Homestead, he
asked a colored man employed there
. what wages he made a flay.
“ ‘Oh, about $6 when I work full
time,’ was the answer.
“Mr. Bryan did not ask any more
questions.
“Even the iron pudd’.ers, whose work
among the furnaces of molten iron is
about as humble and hard as it can be,
come in for a share In the general pros
perity. As a matter of fact, there art
not puddlers enough to fill the demand.
Yet only a few years ago the puddlers
were a drug in the market as a result
of the Improved machine methods in
troduced to take their place.
"In the phenomenal revival of trade
in the Pittsburg Klondike the pudiller
has been summoned again as a matter
of necessity. His pay a year ago was
$4 per ton. Now it is §5. With a help
er, whom he pays, he can make $7.50
or $8 a day. Only a very small per
centage cf the mills can secure all the
puddlers they want.
"There were two manufacturers at
the headquarters of the Amalgamated
association today seeking puddlers.
“ ‘Some of the mill men,’ said Mr.
Taylor, ‘have long lines of ore, coal
and freight cars in their yards, all
loaded with material. They have no
storage facilities of their own, and use
the cars. There are 9,000 tons of coal
locked in cars and awaiting delivery.
“ ‘The rush comes every summer, but
business is very much greater this
year than for many years past.’
“River transportation is choked
with the immense amount of business
quite as badly as are the railways.
Thousands of tons of iron and stcdf
are stored on the docks awaiting ship
ment to western river points.
“Ready for transportation to south
ern points are 30,000,000 bushels of coal
that cannot be moved until the flood
of the river In a few weeks.
“Great difficulty Is experienced In se
curing hands enough to transfer much
of this tonnage from cars to docks and
boats. In one yard as high as $1.75 a
day is being paid to shovelers, and they
are scarce at that price.
“The good times that have come to
the operators and operatives in the
Pittsburg Klondike are not confined to
the iron, steel, coal, coke, tin and glass
fields.
From reports to the commercial
agencies and big dealers the sun of
prosperity shines upon all kinds of
toilers, the labor and professional
classes alike. It was said today by a
lawyer and by a leading newspaper
proprietor that the supply of compe
tent labor in those branches was quite
as restricted as in the mines and
mills.”
It is not very difficult to guess the
motive of the New York World In
blazoning forth these splendid facts of
restored prosperity. Doubtless the de
sign is to warn Mr. Bryan and his
Demo-Pop following of the futility of
preaching "16 to 1” as an issue in next
year’s campaign; to present an object
lesson which shall show that in times
like these a cheap money crusade will
fall flat. Such, indeed, is the inevita
ble logie of the World’s showing. But
it logically demonstrates much more,
which all the World's free-trade
sophistry cannot obscure or keep down
—namely, that the industrial Klondike
that is the rule everywhere throughout
this country is in great measure the
product of the policy of protection. In
sounding the knell of free silver the
World is unconsciously arranging for
the obsequies of free trade. It is build
ing better than it knows.
TARIFF REFORM.
Will the Democratic Party Make This an
lane la the Campaign of 1900?
The Philadelphia Record Ib another
newspaper which takes the ground that
the Democratic party’s best chance of
success in the presidential election pt
1900 lies in its making the tariff the
issue. It says:
"With tariff reform as the issue, the
Democratic party would not only be
united, but to its banner would be at
tracted tens of thousands of voters who
can no longer be duped with the false
pretense that protective duties, while
enhancing the cost of the necessaries
of living, give labor and high wages to
workingmen.”
The fatuity of those who believe that
any party or any candidate could win
in 1900 on a platform pledged to the re
peal of the Dingley law and the de
struction of the protective tariff sys
tem is beyond comprehension. If the
proofs were not at hand it would be
impossible to believe that there were
any one left in this country who still,
believed in free trade. As a matter of
fact, we believe that the fellows who
are now crying tariff in the Democratic
party are low down cowards who want
to dodge the financial issue. That a
belief in free trade can still exist in
any one after our experiment with that
destructive and pauper-producing poli
cy during the Cleveland administration
almost makes one doubt the truth of
the old adage that experience is the
best teacher. But that any one can
dream that free trade would be a win
ning card, can think that the people
of this country can be led into making
another disastrous experiment with it,
is almost beyond the power of imagina
tion.
It will be a rather difficult task to
make any tens of thousands of voters,
or any tens without the thousands, be
lieve that they are being duped by pro
tection. They have the cold, hard cash,
brought home regularly as a result of
steady employment and high wages,
since the resoration of the protective
tariff, with which to refute any charges
of being duped by protection. The
prosperity which has come as a result
of the enactment of the Dingley law
is too concrete a thing and too uni
versal a thing for the wild and base
less assertions of the free-trade papers
and free-trade orators to have any
effect.
The change from prosperity to hard
times at the repeal of the McKinley
law and the change from hard times to
prosperity immediately upon the resto
ration of protection by the passage of
the Dingley law is too great and em
phatic an object lesson to be soon for
gotten by the voters of the country.
By all means let the Democratic party
make free trade, or its alias, "tariff
reform,” its battle cry for 1900. It will
serve to show once for all that the
people of the United States by an
overwhelming majority believe in the
American system of a protective tariff.
American Sprint; Waters.
An excellent move In the right direc
tion is that of bringing prominently
into view the virtue of American
spring waters by means of a public ex
hibit and sale under exceptionally at
tractive conditions. It is with Amer
ican spring waters as with American
wines: Familiarity breeds respect;
they need only to be known in order
to be appreciated. To promote a wider
knowledge on this subject the plan has
been adopted of establishing stands in
many of the large commercial build
ings of New York, where native spring
waters in many varieties are dispensed
by the glass at a moderate price. The
water is displayed in a handsome glass
receptacle, so constructed as to con
tain the ice in a central cylinder, while
the crystal water, kept from contact
with the ice, and cooled to a natural
spring temperature, is shown through
the outer circumference of the glass
jacket. A considerable number of con
cerns handling spring waters have
adopted this method of securing the
favorable introduction of their waters,
and with excellent results. Any plan
is to be commended that tends to im
press upon Americans the fact that in
their own country are found spring
waters equal to any in the world alike
for hygienic and for potable purposes.
Make the Issue Plain.
It is unfortunate that the trust mat
ter has been brought into politics. If
it is to lead to a revamping of the tar
iff discussion, however, let the issue
be made plain. In such matters even
the Democracy of the country cannot
afford to be otherwise than honest. The
interests at stake are too great to be
trifled with. The present tariff has
brought order out of chaos, prosperity
out of disaster, and strength out of
weakness. It is to be hoped that there
will be no more bootless discussion of
this question which has already been
settled, but if it must come let the is
sue be drawn squarely and let the De
mocracy of the country endure the
consequences.—Peoria (111.) Journal.
The Parent of Confidence.
The Democratic papers are gleefully
taking up Mr. Havemeyer's suggestion
that the tariff is the long lost parent
of the trust. Reversing the application
of Col. Bryan’s recent bon mot, if trust
is confidence, that might be construed
as meaning that the tariff is the legiti
mate parent of confidence. To this
soft impeachment the tariff will cheer
fully plead guilty—Sioux City (Iowa)
Journal.

and the other to serve as the frightful
