A democratic paper in Michigan,
the Jackson Hustler, laments the
serious predicament of its party this
way: “The movement to make Mr.
Bryan the nominee in 1008 is distress
ing to a true democrat. It Indicates
the poverty of the democratic party in
the matter of leadership.”
A statement made by the secretary
of the interior showing the allotment

feather in the cap of the sheriff that
lands him.

foreign commerce of the United States
in the fiscal year just closed aggregat
ed $2,970,000,000. If the trade with
Porto Rico and Hawaii, which was

exceeded those of any earlier year.
The total imports were $1,220,000,000
and exports $1,744,000,000.

Demogogs wrecked populism. Po
litical shisters took up the cry of re
form from selfish motives that they
might win place, power and wealth.
There is on example in this for repub
licans. Certain lines of reform being
worked out by the party are attract
ing the demagogs as a means of work
ing themselves into office. Now is
the time to turn down the “grand
stander” and place in nomination men
who have been consistent republicans
and friends to the common welfare all
I pfcVthelr lives.___

Figures compiled by the bureau of
statistics show that the export trade
in canned beef alone decreased more
than 50 per cent during the month of
June as compared with that month in
1905, and there was a falling off in ex
ports of more than $500,000 in the
aggregate. As it was, much of tlie
product exported went to till contracts
made before the disclosure of packing
house conditions.
Congressman Kinkaid will undoubt
edly be tlie nominee of tlie republicans
of the Sixth district to succeed him
self. The judge has been in congress
about long enough now to be thorough
ly familar with tlie duties of tlie office
and liis record for efficiency, hard work
and “doing things” during his two
terms entitles him to a renomination
if ever one was entitled to it. Besides
Ills popularity with the masses makes
him pretty nearly the only republican
with a cinch on the election.
Tlie first step for the enforcement
A the new railroad rate law has been
taken by tlie interstate commerce
lommisslon, which has ordered an ex
pert to appraise and fix a value on
jvery railroad in tlie United States,
that the commission mav determine
whether any rate is reasonable and
iust. Prof. Henry C. Adams of the
university of Michigan and statisti
cian for tiie interstate commerce
commission, has been invited to enter
the employ of the commission, to de
vise a universal system of bookkeep
ing for all the railroads, and to ap
praise their value. It is expected the
new system will be in operation by
July 1, 1907, and the railroads will be
required to observe a fiscal year cor
responding to that of the govern
ment.
CONTEMPORARY COMMENT.
“Tom Taggart, campaign manager
for Alton B. Parker in the last presi
dential election,” says the Alliance
Times, “is in the cluches of the law
charged with being a professional gam
bler. He may be all right on some
games but the political game was too
much for him.”
The Norfolk Press thinks that “re
publicans of Nebraska may as well
make up their minds that they cannot
elect a ticket nominated by a conven
tion manipulated in the Interests of
Li le ral I roa ds J No caiul idate can hope to
win who is not known lo Ice free from
railroad control, and who is not abso
lutely in favor of wiping out the pass
evil, in favor of wiping out the dis
criminations against the smaller
cowns in freight rates, and in favor of
i direct primary law that will effec
tually wipe out caucaus rule and give
every voter a chance to express his
choice in the selection of candidates,
rhese things must come about and if
republican politicians block the way
they must take the consequences.”

Somebody suggests that what thi
state needs in the way of legislatioi
more than anything else at present, i
the enactment of better laws for tli
collection of debts; not laws that wil
allow creditors to take the life or thi
necessities of life from the debtor
but laws that will afford protectioi
against the dead beat who under ou
preasant system are becoming to<
awfully numerous for the good of botl
creditors and debtors. On this the Au
burn Granger remarks: “We quit*
agree with the man and must add thai
our laws relative to collection of debt!
are quite generally such as will en
courage the debtor to dishonesty, dis
courage the credit or in his efforts tc
be only just and fair,while they flee tc
the lawyers who laugh and grow fat.’
The people of Nebraska, the men
who do the work, and producers, the
farmers, says the Gage County Demo
crat, are much less disturbed over the
aggression of the corporations than
are t lie professional barn stormers,
who depend upon activity in stirring
up tilings political. The fact is that
there would be no attempt of the rail
roads to control things, if it had not
been for the politicians who organized
a trust and called upon the railroads
to assist them in carrying out their
plans. This was largely accomplished
through the distribution of passes.
rnese passes were mstnouieu uy men
who now have a spasm of reform, and
who are holding up their hands in
holy horror at the idea of corporation
control. It is usually the case that as
soon as the corporation gets through
with a man or refuse to be held up by
him longer, that he states evidence,
and is a bitter foe of corporate mono
poly. That is about the picture that
the people are now called to look upon
just now. _
An eastern editor, right at the cen
ter of the manufactoring industries,
indulges a little tariff talk. lie says
“The panic that followed the election
of Cleveland did not wait until the
anti-tariff people had done something,
The fact that republican dissention
had made democratic victory possible
was sufficient. As soon as it wae
known that the democrats had won
every man whose business could be
affected by tariff changes, either for
better or worse, began to shorten sail.
Manufacturers ceased or cut down
their forces to scant necsssity. They
could not afford to be caught with
large stocks on hand if the tariff were
to be reduced. Merchants ceased buy
ing goods which could be affected.
Shipment ceased and railroad manag
ers cut out trainsand discharged train
crews. Bankers hesitated to lend on
warehouse receipts, for fear the collat
eral might shrink in value. Notes
based on merchandise were called in
and enterprise was checked. Millions
of men and women were thrown out
of employment and the whole nation
suffered duringdthe four lean years.”

The Immensity of It.
Lincoln Star: In neither this nor
any other country, from the time when
nations first were founded, has last
year’s bumper crops ever been paral
leled. They are paralleled now in the
July crop report, which partly reveals
and in part promises an equally in
conceivable mass of perishable wealth.
Corn promises a crop only 4 million
bushels behind last year’s huge record
of 2,708,000,000 bushels, says the New
York World. Potatoes, oats and bar
ley are likely to be somewhat below
last year, but wheat, much of which is
already harvested, may go beyond the
record by 30 million bushels. This
mere excess alone would fill a bin 400
feet in height covering the Madison
Square Garden clock.
The four great farm crops of corn,
hay, wheat and oats, named in the
order of their gross value, will probably
be worth this year some $2,750,000,000.
All the gold dug in all the world in
the 414 years since Columbus found
the new continent would buy but four
such crops.
