This would be a calamity to America—ah, to the world—greater than has ever been known.__ Bed Lodge (Moat,) Picket: “Ex-1 pjmaisn” and “protection” are good rallying words, Exponsion of the farmer's market protection for his prpdncts; expansion for the laboring {> man’s wages, protection to the man || who pays them; expansion of op portunities for labor by expansion of industries, protection of homes by protection of the right to earn good : wages; expansion of markets, pro t tostion of marketers; expansion of Uncle Sam’s territory, protection of ’ ! liberty; expansion of currency, pro tection of values; expansion of credits, protection of investments; )| expansion of knowledge, protection ' l of instruction. All this is good re publican doctrine and will be en dorsed bjr the peopld in November. The Atinkinson Plain Dealer and Ewing Advocate are befriending Neville against the attacks of the Independent. While The Frontier neither especially admires Neville nor has interest in the populist con gressional nominee, at the same time it likes to see fair play. Neville is simply being made the victim of malicious slander by popnlist ma chine politics of Holt county. Neville only fell short of Green’s vote in ’98 some 600 votes and eclipsed Omer M. Kem, who was a candidate in those palmy days of populism in the Sixth back in ’94, by over a thousand votes; so that the talk of him being “a load” to the popnlista last fall is pure bun combe. The fact is the machine has use for Barry and a talk has to be put up as an excuse for laying Neville on the shelf. The situation is rather amusing to republicans. Let the amusement go on. ! The Independent’s Degeneracy. Judd Woods of the Ewing Advo cate says in his last issue: We are sorry to see the Holt County Independent take the course it has in relation to Congressman Neville and Governor Foynter. Every man has a perfect right to support whatsoever candidates he chooses but it should be beneath the dignity of any populist paper to resort to willful misrepresentation or base inuendo. The charges that Neville ran 2,000 votes behind the ticket in this district, and that he had drawn, or tried to draw, any portion of the salary due to the widow of Congressman Green, were so false that we wonder anyone could be induced to publish them. The Independent did publish a half hearted retraction of the charge that Neville had drawn salary he was not entitled to but it should have made it in its free and open manner it which it made the charge. Last week the Independent address ed a communication to Governor Poynter concerning the railroad assessment. In starting cut he says, ‘‘I want to be perfectly fair,” and then publishes the letter with all its inuendo before Poynter has had a chance to make a reply. This is not the act of a friend but the act of an enemy who is bound to ad vance the interest of a political favorite at any hazard. The writer of this struggled as no publisher in Nebraska ever struggled to establish the Holt County Independent. That was in the days when the powers of hell were leagued against it, (Broth er Ever is reaping the harvest) and we had hoped that it would always continue the leading advooate in northwest Nebraska of people’s party principles and we regret to see it degenerate into a mere organ for the advancement of the desires of political favorites. Trade Under Expansion. Washington, Jane 6.—Senator, Lodge is one of the most'careful and thorough investigators of the expan sion question in all of its bearings. He has just beenexaming its growth of our trade with Hawaii, and finds that five years ago, in 1895, the total Hawaiian trade with theUnited States amounted to only $11,500, 000. Last year it reaohed $33,500, 000, having increased almost three fold within five years, and most of this increase has ocourred within the last eighteen months. The senator says that we may not think that a business of $33,500,000 amounts to very much when our foreign trade is now running up in to the billions, but to oompare our trade with the Hawaiian islands, with their handful of people, with our trade with some of the larger countries, gives a better idea of the value of colonies to the United States. As a result of his investigation Senator Lodge finds that: Our trade with the Hawaiian islands is over 100 per cent, larger than our total trade with Austria Hungary. It is 75 per cent larger than onr trade with Demark. It is 60 per cent as large as onr total trade with Italy. It is nearly fonr time as large as onr trade with Portugal. It is over 150 per oent greater than onr total trade with Russia. It is almost doable oar trade with Spain. It is 125 per cent greater than onr trade with Sweden and Nor way. * It is more than doable oar trader with Switzerland. It is ten times oar trade with, Saving Banks Deposits. Saving banks deposits in the United States in 1S94 and in 1899 compare as follows: Year. Depositors. Deposits. 1899. 5,200,000 $2,178,800,000 1894..;... 4,800,000 1,771,200,000 Increase, 1899... 400,000 - $407,600,000 Turkey. It is nearly thirty times larger than our trade with Greece. Comparison with countries on the American continent show that Hawaii trade with the United States is equal to 30 per cent, of our trade with the whole Dominion of Canada. It is nearly 150 per oent. greater than our trade with all. the Central American states. It is 60 per cent, as large as our trade with Mexico. It is 50 per cent larger than our trade with all the British West Indies. It is nearly five times as large as our trade with Puerto Rico. It is three times as large as our trade with the Danish, Dutch and French West Indies, Haiti and San Domingo included. It is almost twice as large as our trade with Argentine. It is almost half as large as our trade with Brazil, whence we import most of our coffee. It is nearly 400 per cent, larger than our trade with Chile. It is nearly 400 per cent, larger than our trade with the United States of Columbia. It is nearly fifteen times larger than our trade with Ecuador. it is more tnan six times larger than oar trade with British, Datch and French Guina. It is ten times larger than our trade with Pern. It is ten times larger than our trade with Uruguay. It is more than five times larger than our trade with Venezulea. He then makes comparison with countries across the Pacific, and finds that our trade with Hawaii is within six million dollars of being as great as our trade with the Empire of China. It is more than three times as large as our trade with Hongkong. It is nearly half as large as our total trade with all the British, Dutch and French East Indies, which send us such large supplies of sugar. It is equal to 65 per cent, of our total trade with Japan. It is mqre than five times larger than our last year’s trade with the Philippics**, v.. It is nearly twenty times larger than our trade with Asiatio Russia. It was larger by four million dol lars than our trade with the whole of the Australasian colonies last year, with their five millions of peo ple. It was larger last year by more than three million dollars than our trade with the entire continent of Afrioa. Senator Lodge says that the in crease in our tra de with Hawaii has been very marked since its annex ation, and he looks for equal rapid improvement in our trade with Puerto Rico and the Philippines. These colonies will absorb some of our surplus manufactures, and they will also draw upon this country for their provisions, thus increasing the demand for the products of Ameri can farms. The Omaha World-Herald was Mr. Bryan’s personal organ in 1896, and daring that campaign it made the propheoy daily that in the event of MoKinley’s election the depres sion and distress among the working classes wonld be widespread. The best proof of the falsity of the propheoy is found on the want pages of the World-Herald. The last issne at hand contains the ad vertisements of two females and seven males who want situations, while on the same page the “help wanted” advertisements ask for 107 females and 115 males. This is in addition to “agents wanted,” and does not include the advertisement for 1,000 men wanted for railroad work. The calamity propheoy was a failure in Mr. Bryan’s own state, I as it was elsewhere. (contributed.) * The saltan of Turkey is now a receptive candidate for democratice sympathy. The party that regrets the settle ment of a ' labor strike is short on excuses for existence. The political organization that thrives upon disorder and discontent is not the proper governing power for a healthy nation. A decrease of 284,000,000 pounds in the quantity of wool imported in a year shows the value of protection to wool to the American farmer. The democrats are to have their great jollification this year on the Fourth of July in place of putting it off until the Ides of November. Mark Twain’s presidential can didacy bad the humorous right of way until it encountered the Siottx Falls and Cincinnati proceedings. . If Aguinaldo were wise he would send half a dozen delegates to the Kansas City convention, not to vote, but to take up a sympathy collec tion. Democratic sympathy for the Boers is largely made up of a de sire to put the administration in an embarrassing position ' with other powers. The Philadelphia convention can well afford to endorse the St. Louis platform of 1896. It can be offered as an exhibit of what the republican party does in the platform promise fulfillment line. Hon. John G. Carlisle no longer regards himself as a resident of Kentucy. Mr. Carlisle has not had a high opinion of his old political associates since Bryanism prompted them to throw eggs at him. Tennesse produced nearly a mil lion tons more coal last year than in 1895. That ought to be an indus trial object lesson to the south, es pecially as pratically the whole of it was used at the factories of that state. _ The export trade of the south for the past twelve months amounted to over $400,000,000, more than one third of that of the entire country. These are figures which speak.more eloquently than the narrow southern politicians who contribute so liber ally to the Congressional Record. The only piece of national legisla tion for which the democratic party has been responsible, since the elec tion of Abraham Lincoln, is the Wil son-Gorman traiff bill, a measure despised by its authors, hated by its sponsors, and which wrought ruin to thousand of those who tried to be its friends. Out of nearly thirteen hundred millions of dollars’ worth of mer chandise carried between the United States and Europe during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1899, less than three million dollars’ worth carried in American ships other than those of the American line. The latter named line carried nearly forty million dollars’ worth Eoreign ships carried twelve hundred and fiifty million dollars’ worth. And yet> the foreign lines are concentrat ing all of their opposition to the passage of the shipping bill upon the only Amerioan line in the trans atlantic trade. n-.- >*Tha Kind Yon Han Always Bought raneiml Rsform In England.
