Wanted—A scarecrow for 1904. Ad
dress National Democratic Party.
Our beef eating article of last week
seems to have stirred up the cellar
sheet.
--
In many old time populist strong
holds no township caucuses have been
held by that party this year.
A vote forjudge Kinkaid is a vote
to sustain the splendid administra
tions of Presidents McKinley and
Roosevelt.
The man who makes an eflort to
make tax reform a party issue, there
by advertises his insincerity. He
can’t be trusted.
--
A popocrat can accomplish but lit
tle in a republican congress. Vote
for Kinkaid and give the Big Sixth a
chance at the pie counter.
-<»«.
The World-Herald is not pleased
with our alliteration of the three P’s
and three C’s. It was too true to be
appreciated by that propounder of pal
pably false policies.
The old line populists have taken
to the woods; the dose of democracy
prepared by the fusion medicine
mixers at Grand Island was too
too strong for them to swallow.
There is nothing about the republi
can platform this year to befuddle the
average voter. Stripped of all the
outside flourishes of oratory it is simp
ly: "Abundant work and good wages
to be perpetuated.”
Massaehusets democrats have sol
emnly declared in favor of a reduction
of the tariff on hides. There has been
so many democratic hides hung on the
fence that they ought to be satisfied
with the present supply.
Hon. George D. Follmer has intro
duced many reforms in the manage
ment of the Land Commissioner’s
office and now has that department
in better shape than ever before in
t he history of the state.
The prohibition congressional con
vention for the Sixth district is called
to meet in Valentine, Neb., on Mon
day, October 7,1902, for the purpose
of nominating a candidate for Con
gress. Each county is entitled to five
delegates.
Would it not be the height of indis
cretion for the busy and prosperous
producers of this wonderful country
to heed the calamity cry of the demo
crats and stop in the march of pro
gress for the sole purpose of "making
a. change?”
Bryan’s former doleful prophecies of
a continued fall in prices under the
gold standard echoing down the corri
dors of time continue to proclaim him
a false prophet and discounts his pre
sent day utterances on other “para
mount” issues.
Southern Democratic leaders loudly
claim that they are not at a loss for
issues in the present campaign. That
is true, but the ones they are now
struggling over have been dead since
the surrender of General Lee’s forces
at Appotomattox.
The memory of four years of fusion
mismanagement of state affairs does
not incline the sober minded citizen to
vote for a return to power of the
hypocritical horde of popocratic graf
ters pried loose from the public trea
sury by the avalanche of 1900.
Our wind-jamming friends have
failed to find an issue for this cam
paign. It is too soon after the rank
record of the fusion state officials for
their hyprocritical howls about rail
road taxation to be taken with any
seriousness by tlie people. It won’t
work, and no one knows it better than
the aforesaid wind-jammers.
Senator Jones,of Arkansas, thc“dem
ocratie Moses,” wlio has never yet in
Ids career tasted the sweet fruits of
national victory, is busily engaged in
a claiming contest. lie lias already
attached to the democratic congress
ional column all the close districts in
the north, south, east and west, and
Is now awaiting advices from Porto
llico and Ilawaai. Senator Jones
aught to make good once in a while
for he has been in training many
moons as a rainbow chaser.
“The democratic party can not
stand the tests of time and experi
snee. Its assertions are always deni
ed by the event. It is always ex
plaining why it was wrong.” There
is a great deal in that. The democra
tic party does not wear well. Occa
sionally it flashes up a policy which
is attractive to thoughtless people,
but before election day comes, their
wiser neighbors will argue them out
of It, so no one is harmed. But if by
some accident, the democrats win the
country suffers and the party gets into
disrepute.
Tlie only federal law ever passed for
the regulation of trusts was passed
by a republican congress. Don’t over
look that fact. The democrats subse
quently had control of congress, as
well as of the presidency, but not only
did they fail to pass anti-trust laws
through their congress but their presi
dent and Attorney-general failed to
execute the laws that actually were
on the statute books, placed there by
a republican congress. When demo
crats talk about the great things the
democratic party would do against
the trusts, just spring that record on
them.
The barometer of prosperity is
steadily showing an upward tendency.
Treasury receipts from customs indi
cate the purchasing inclination of the
people, and measured by this test na
tional prosperity has been rising ever
since the passage of the Plngley law.
The increase in customs receipts for
the current month thus far exceeds
by $2,500,000 that of the correspond
ing period a year ago. The accumula
tion of gold in the treasury vaults has
now reached the sum, unprecedented
in this country, of $580,000,000. An
abundant harvest is yet to be gather
ed. Truly are these republican years
of fatness.
Every student of political economy
knows that the so-called trusts are
the result of present wonderful indus
trial conditions. It is simply evolu
tion. Just as the individual manu
facturer, in his small shop or house,
gave place to the joint-stock company
and the factory system, so the com
bination of factories and plants suc
ceeds the smaller corporation. Presi
dent Roosevelt rightly says they will
be wonderful benetit to the county if
handled by prudent men in the right
manner. The republican party has
never been found wanting in an emer
gency.
The democratic campaign commit
tee announces that it is short of orat
ars for the campaign. The republi
can party is held responsible for this
Hearth of democratic spell-binders. In
1899 there were calamity howlers to
be found on every street corner, in
sisting that the “crime of ’73” had
plunged the country into distress and
that “19 to 1” was the only remedy.
We had “Coin1” Harvey and his finan
cial primer, and a host of other finan
cial experts to aid Mr. Bryan in his
free silver campaign. There was Jones
of Arkansas, Hogg of Texas, James
Hamilton Lewis of Washington, Gov.
Altgeld and Buck Hendrickson of 111
inais, Sockless Simpson of Kansas,
Teller of Colorada, Stewart of Nevada,
George Fred Williams of Massachu
setts, Charley Towne of Minnesota,
and a host of other picturesque ora
tors and teachers of finance. They
made the country ring with their dis
mal forebodings of what would follow
the firmer fixture of the gold standard.
But few of these orators are to be
heard today in connection with the
democratic campaign. The republi
can party by the revival of protection
and the establishment of the gold
standard, has restored prosperity and
even the democratic calamity howlers
of 1899 and 1900 have become busy
with other and more remunerative
employment. Tom L. Johnson, the
picturesque mayor of Cleveland, is the
only old-time democratic spell-binder
to be heard in the campaign, and he is
Bryan’s heir to the presidential nom
ination. Mr. Bryan is busy making
money with his newspaper and lectur
ing. He has little time to spare to the
eause of the democratic party. “Coin”
Harvey is coining wealth down in Ar
kansas; James J. Jones, chairman of
Hie democratic national committee
las become a trust magnate operating
In cotton presses; Charles Towne has
made money in Texas oil and now has
bis otlice in Wall street where he no
longer fears to walk among the gold
bugs; Hogg of Texas, has been busy in
England, floating Texes oil stock and
hobnobbing with royalty; James Ham
ilton Lewis is too busy handling gold
mining properties in the northwest to
care whether there is a democratic
campaigh or a silver mine in the
world; George Fred Williams has been
discarded by the democrats of Massa
chusetts; Henry Watterson has turn
ed his attention to the morals of the
“four hundred,” Dave Hill is at Wool
fort’s Boost waiting to see what the
future will bring forth; Gorman of
Maryland is keeping silent; Altgeld is
dead; Buck Hendrickson has turned
hit talents to legitimate fiction; and
the democratic committee has to look
for a new crop of orators. And this
is the work of prosperity and the re
publican party. They have robbed
the democratic party of its most pic
turesque campaign orators.
THE MILL OWNERS’ POSITION.
The Texas Cotton Manufacturers’
Association has taken the child labor
question up of its own accord, and at
Brenham recently adopted the follow
ing propositions:
“To the President of the Texas Cot
ton Manufacturers’ Association: Your
committee to take in consideration
the proposed legislation in Texas on
child labor, respectfully begs leave to
make the following report:
“1. The cotton mills in Texas are
unanimously of the opinion that the
working of children under the age of
12 years is unprofitable to the mills
and should, so far as practicable, be
eliminated.
“2. The cotton mill managements
of Texas have never advocated the
employment of children of tender
years and have only done so in excep
tional cases—for instance, when the
wages of the child was necessary to
the support of the family. This is
proved by that of the cotton mills re
porting only fort y children under 12
years of age were employed by mills
working 1,575 hands.
“3. In order that the evils of child
labor may be corrected we respectful
ly recommend that the following
agreement be entered into by the
mills belonging to this association,
and that we use our best endeavor to
have it adopled by all Texas mills:
(1) No child under 14 years of age
shall be allowed to work at night, and
no child under 12 years of age shall be
allowed to work under any circum
stances. (2) Between the age of 12
and 14 years child may work in the
daytime only under tire following con
dition: First, that the child can read
and write;second that the child has a
widowed mother or parents physically
incapacitated to support it This ag
reement to go into effect Dec. 1,1902.
We recommend that each of the
mills sign the above agreement and
that a copy of the same be conspicu
ously posted in each mill.”
The above shows the progress that
is being made regarding the senti
ment opposed to the employment of
child labor. The school room is the
place for all children.

Stricken With Paralysis.
Henderson Grimett, of this place,
was stricken with partial paralysis
and completely lost the use of one arm
and side. After being treated by an
eminent physician for quite a while
without relief, my wife recommended
Chamberlain’s Pain Balm, and after
using two bottles of it he is almost
entirely cured.—Geo. R. McDonald,
Man, Logan county, W. Va. Several
other very remarkable cures of partial
paralysis have been etiected by the
use of this liniment. It is most
widely kdown, however, as a cure for
rheumatism, sprains and bruises.
