Workingmen intend to make the sixth of next November the Appomatox of free trade. TiiEKE are campaign lies being circu lated; we advise our readers to look out for them and not believe them, for they contain net one word of truth. Many a demagogue and so-called reformer, who never labors himself either j with brain or hand, ivut live oJt tlio in dustry of others, is the fondest shoutcr in the cause of labor, aiui claims pre eminence as the friend of workingmen. Equity. D. Polk the republican nominee for state senator is a young man it is true, but our democratic friends need build no hopes that that grave crime(?) vrill inure to their benefit. The republi can voters of old Cass will forgive him for being young and give him a splendid majority. The outlook in Indiana is altogether satisfactory from a Republican point of view. Gen. Harrison has the confidence and admiration of the people in a degree which makes success certain, and hit majority will be larger than the state has ever given for any other Presidential candidate. With 700,000 population, the state of Dakota ostracised and kept out of the union, for the sole reason that the voters of the territory do not agree that the democratac party is the proper one to have control of the government. "This is a statement that cannot be disproven. Gazette Joirnal. The Knights of Labor haye the nio'.to: "An injnry to one is the concern of all." It is just this fact in a republic that makes it the general concern that a few shall not follow blind prejudice and vote upon American workingmen a policy that will so reduce them to the level of European pauper labor. ''Unless extraordinary change occurs," eaya the New York Herald, "New York is lost and the Democracy is beaten." The Democratic chiefs are aware that that no "extraordinary change" can now occur except one that would be more disastrous to their party than the present condition. Mr. Cleveland is serving hi last term in the Presidency. A mail messenger at Dauphan, Penn., paid his democratic campaign assessment in confederate money. If it was good enough for tbe southern ''democrats in 1803 why is it not equally as good for them in 18S8? That it is not is certainly not their fault. Our German friends and citizens, who think all Germans nre democrats will he Rurpried to know that in the east the ma jority of Germans are republicans, and that the republicans of New York City have nominated Col. Ebrhart, who is a German, for mayor of their city. John C. Watson together with Messrs. Jeary and Satchel in the house will take care of Cass counties interests in the next legislature and Milton I). Polk will pre side in the senate and our democratic friends may just as well reconcile them selves to this condition of affairs fur it will surely come to pass. OfR opponents say we are much better off in the matter of able men to presnt our case to the coutry than they. Well, we'j7ss we are. We also gue&3 that the difference tet?-ntl,e q'tyof men in the two parties isn't con."cd to t,10sc who can talk in public. Compare the" Presidential candidates, for illustration Harrison and Morton believe in hon oring the soldier, and in protecting his helpless widow and orphans. They be lieve in the stars and stripes as the sole emblem of a united country; and their administration while kindly to all would not install ex-rebels in high places in the government, nor countenance crimes against the ballot. If this policy is wise, vote to restore it in national administra tion. Don't whine about the fellow that fooled the Rritish minister into showing his hand. That hand has been steadily steering Mr. Rayard and Mr. Cleveland. It probably suggested the celebrated message against Great Britain and it un wittingly exposed itself to the California correspondent. The American people and the Irish voter are not interested so much in who fooled Mr. West as they are in who is running Mr. Cleveland's administration. Mr. McSiiane, the boodler, wants to buy up a legislature in this state docs he? His statesmanship is embraced in the en quiry: Can money be used to influence your voters? This is a pretty statesman to put up to defeat governor Thayer. I want the legislature what wilj. it cost? is his platform. When Gov. Thayer tisd the law against gambling in his hands for approval this beautiful specimen of political honesty wanted that measure vetoed. He was for the gamblers. Parties, like some other things, are known by their fruits. 3fassachussets. where every voter is able to read and write, will give a Republican majority 23,000 to 30,000, while Louisiana, where the illiterates number more than half the voting population, will give an over whelming majority for Cleveland and Thurman. There you hay? a diagram showing the relative intelligence and character of the two parties. Young voters ought to take this diagram into consideration before casting their politi- j cal I013 it; life. The reduction in price ct eyer$r article on our customs list srWch J produced here in important quantities been greater in the United States within the past twenty years than it has been in Eu rope. There is no exception. The drop in price in every sing'e instance has been greater here than there. The price of the manufactured portion of the articles classed as necessrries of life is but little greater now in this country than it is in any other part of the world, and this slight difference is steadily being lessened. Messrs. Democrats, these are statesments winch none of yon will dare to dispute. These facts, too, you will observe, knock "the stuffing" out of your theory that "the tariff is a tax." Globe Democrat. Lord Sackville West has placed the democratic party in an embarrassing position. Mr. Cleveland's administra tion has been an English administration from first to last and no amount of lying by the democratic leaders could disguise the fact. Mr. Cleveland's retaliation message was a democratic fake in tended to pull the wool over the eyes of the Irish voters. The action of the British Government since the promulga tion of that message shows the under standing between Her Majesty's govern ment and Mr. Cleveland's administration Had a republican president issued that message the world would have witnessed bluster and threats from Mr. Bull with out limit : As it is. the message came from Mr. Bull's partner, Grover Cleve land, and ment simply a blind to fool the Irish. Minister West let the cat out of the b ig and no amount of blabbering by Mr. Cleveland and his cabinet can cure the expose. That British influences have dominated American affairs since Mr. Cleveland went into power is clcr and certain. That it must stop is also certain and Benjamin Harri.on, of Indi ana, will veto it. MINISTER WEST'SLETTBRl WRITTEN TO AN CITIZEN- AMERICAN The British Embassador Endorses Cleveland as the Ensllsh Candidate. From the New York Tribune, 0-t. 21. (Private.) Rf.averi.y. Mass,, Sept. 13, 1H$m. Sir I am in receipt of your letter of the 4th inst., and beg to say that I fully appreciate the difficulty in which you find yourself in casting your vote. You are probably aware that any political party which openly favored the mother country at the present moment would lose popularity, and that the party in power is fully aware of this fact. The party, however, is, I believe, still desir ous of maintaining friendly relations with Great Britain, and is still as desirous of settling all questions with Canada, which have been unfortunately reopened since the '-traction of the treaty by the repub lican majority in the senate, and by the president's message, to which you allude. All allowances must, therefore, be made for the political situation as regards the presidential election thus created. It is, however,, impossible to predict the course which President Cleveland may pursue in the matter of retaliation, tthouid he be elected; but there is every reason to be lieve that, while upholding the position he has taken, he will manifest a spirit of conciliation in dealing with the fyueesi-ion involved in his message. I inclose an article from the New York Times of August 22, and remain yours faithfull, L. S. Sackville West. THOSE FRIGHTFUL TAXES. How many voters realize what the pro tective system has done for them ? Dem ocratic newspapers are careful not to make known the facts, which are never theless abundently established by official records. For example, let the census report on wages feetify as follows : A cotton spinner at Cohoes e.iied 31 in 1SC0, -the last year of a Democratic tariff, and the wholesale price of print cloths was then 5.37 cents. The same spinster earneu in me same worKs $1,70 in 18S0, aijii ii,e jM-ice of print cloths was 3,87 cents. A day's worfe uuue;- Democ racy would buy 18 yards, under Repub licanism 4G yards. A carpenter earned $1,50 in 1800, the last yea of & Democratic tariff imd paid $3. for a hand lie $i-o.c in 1880, and paid $l. for a better!.. ..: ; ...v. i Under Democracy his s!iw cost hb:: i vo (lays labor, unc der R :anisiv !i: f a dny! labor, A blacksmith earned J.07 in lisOO, the last year of a Democratic tariff, and paid $3.25 per 100 pounds for nails. He earned 1.S0 in 1880, and paid in the same market s. pe? lol pounds for nails, Under Democracy his day's work earned :11 pounds, and under Republi canism 90 pounds of nails. WITT THE SOUTH HATES PRO TECTION. The true motive ol Soyhern attacks upon the protective features of the taiiff was disclosed in a spAC" lfy Mr. Mor gan, of Alabama, during the tariff uC.'tfi in the United States Senate in 1883. He asserted with surprising candor that he did not want a hiyli tariff wldch nxlglit lead to a high rate of w ige?t, because it might be a damage to Alabama's plant ing interests. He feared that under high protection great manufacturing establish ments would spring up nud that the high wages paid employes would attract laborers from the plantations to the shops. That is the position of the Southern free traders. They do not want to have labor well paid. They desire that the negro shall remain practically a slave after the law has freed him, and they desire to push down the poor white man to the same level. They believe in luxury for the wealthy and squalor for the poor. There are no plantations run by semi slave labor in the Nerth. Here public entiment holds that "the laborer is worthy of his hire." The United States must never have a "peasant class" or "surf population," such as breed anarchy and misery in Europe. Albany Journal. 31 A JO R WATSON. The Journal need not worry over Hon. John C. Watson for float representative. The people of Cass county know and re member the able fearless prosecutor from Otoe county who performed his public duties honestly and scrupuously. The record made by John C. Watson in this judicial district, is a certificate of char acter which no political abuse can wipe out. Mr. Watson will be elected and our people will be ably and honestly represented. GERMANY AND THE TARIFF. Democratic journalists and stumo speakers often ask why it is that if the tariff is good in the United States, it no good in the other countries which have a protective system. Mr. Mill who points with pride to the fact that in free-trade Eugland wages are higher than in protectionist Germany, evidently thinks that he has, by this illustration settled the whole controversy as to the merits ol the respective industrial sys terns, and settled it in favor of the free traders If wages are higher in England than in Germany ami protectionists concede that, on the whole they arc high er then according to Mr. Mills' logic free trade has proven its superiority over its rival scheme, and ought to be adopt ed in the United States. There are many flaws in the reasoning of free traders with respect to England and Germany. The tariff system has been in operation in Germany nine years only. Preyious to 1879 there has been a long period of virtual free trade in that country. When the tariff was adopted in that year, however, industries of all sorts throughout the country were im mediately and wonderfully invigorated and extended, and a new era of business expansion was usherad in. In the past nine years, while the rate of wages has been declining in England, it has in creased from 10 to 50 per cent in Ger many. The iorn worker in Germany gets b2 VjCi i-ent more for his work than he did in 1878, wiriie iho irpn worker in England gets 10 per cent less now than he did then. The average increase in flermany under its protective tariff has beeu about It or QQ per cent, taking all occupations together. England has had several important ad yantages over Germany as well as oyer every other country. Capital is more abundant, in nrcnortjon to population and the interest rate is lower in Mreat Britain than in any other part of the world. As compared with Germany, En land is marvelously rich in natural re sources, while the supremacy which it holds in many industries gives its people special aptitude not possessed by any other European?, viie loss la productive power caused by standing armies is far greater in Germany than in Great Britain. And yet, iu spite of all these drawbacks, Germany has expanded its industries in the past f-w years in a higher ratio than England has, while wages in Germany iiave risen uud in Knglaad haye fallen. The prudent free trader will never at tempt to extract aid and comfort for his side by instituting any industrial com parisons between Germany aud Great Britain. Globe Democrat. PUGG HEhHs. Notwithstanding derogating influ ences, among them the strike being the greatest, 18S8 lias been as prosperous a year as i?lat-.tS!nouth has ever experienced ; with the exception of V&C'V iiire resi dences have been built than during any year of its existance, and the sound of the saw and hammer will be heard far inio winter. Tne public improvements this season are or tI,Hr!irfer that put. the finishing touches on the foundation of one of Nebraska's future great cities. With our city well lighted by gas, our magnitjcent water system, sireet car line, substantial sewerage and macadainized streets, Plattsmouth may well claim a front seat among the rising towns of Nebraska. The constant and steady increase of her population, is & graifying omen of growing prestage. ij-he " improvements ! the new additions to pdattsinouth speak loudly of" prft prosperity, par ticularly so those of South Park. . littl ove a year ago a Herald representative passed over the ground where the addi tion was then being surveyed, a recept yisit finds it almost a town of itself; the building boom has not onre ceased since the start and the building of houses al ready planned will reach far into JSSj). One thing that speaks vol urns for the substantiability of Plattsuioutu, i the fact, that notwithstanding her great pro gress she has not yet been afflicted with a fictitious real-estate boom, there being only a warrented increase in value, hence good residence lots can be bought today for. from $100 to $350 and business ot3 from 1000 to ?2000. At the close of 1888 the Herald will give a review of the work accomplished during the year, which will probably be a surprise to those who last spring thought the strike had riddled the town. General Harrison has proved to be a strong, unexceptionable, growing can didate. No moj-e fortunate choice could have been made at Chicago. He has been absolutely unassailable, Not a charge has beeu made because his private life, liis personal character, his public standing and his official record ar; be yond reproach. Then he lias grown immensely on the country. His rcmark- r i v" ? . , aoie penes ot speecnes nave trivrn tne t people a new sense of the high intellect ' l'-ta possess our own markets.

"STRIC TL Y CON FID ENTTA The following letter was addressed to Mr. Bianchi who resides at Papillion, Sarpy county: Strictly ronjitlential. What is tli'j piincipid nationality in your district if How much money could be used judic iously on the legislative ticket? Respectfully yo'irs, Joiim A. .Me Shane. The R2i(lliivti) has infoi m it ion upon reliable authority th.tt S'o.til.1!) has been contribited by the saloonkeepers, and $25,000 from I her sources, to the demo cratic fund. It is a noticeable fact one whieh every republican must have noticed that tlii - money is not btiny e.rpemlel for ordinary camjiaiyn ej-pi ;.s -v. Lit tle of it g'-es for cost of parades and ral lies. There is good reason to believe that an attempt is to be made to repeat in the legislative districts the disgraceful feat of two years ago in the First con gressional district. Republicans, you now know what you have to meet. The mask has been laid aside. McShane does not ask, how much money can be used judiciously to elect me governor, but the question is directed to the legislative districts, which it is hoped to carry by the "judicious use" of money, in order that McShane may be made United States senator. Doubtless the letter is a sample of many ethers, sent into the closer districts. To meet such a warfare the republicans must wont. 1 lie letter shoukl bo shown, ffot only to republicans, but to honest democrats, and evety republican paper in the state should prove it. The short horn barrel is practically bottomless. There is no limit to the game, so long as it help to aebumpliiiu the design. Republicans, take off your coats and meet the issue. Teach men who deal in such politics a lesson. The welfare of the state demands it. Omaha Rep. Q EN. HA RRISfN'S CJ1A AM C'TER, Every speech which General Harrison has made during the campaign has added to the strength of his position, because he has been able to let his personality take care of itself and give his attention to the important issues before the people It is uot every man who can dp ibis, for most of those who have held the hi ofliees by which he has been honored lave some record which lias to be justi fied or defended. The people at large appreciate tl corticate of character which this fact involves. .Many statesmen of Stirling integrity, who chanced to be in public ife with him, have been unable to avoid ialumny, though they did not t:.ke part m liic great measures bv which the epublican candidate rained his pronii r.f ui-e. iey Jsaye find to live down slanders v. hSch never were pointed at General IL.rrison, because the false wit uesses, however ingenious, have always realized the impotence of their weapons e.a!;1-;: a man of si:iij,!e, una'-simiing liOIlirMy. Clear-hearted, straightforward of mind and purpose, he has been able to dis pense with the defensive weapons which less fortunate statesmen are often obliged to keep in stock. By this fact he is able now to talk to the issues on all occasions, and, later on, if he is elected, ho will not be distracted from public business by t.'ie necessity c,f defeudinir his private char acter. It is this fact which commends him to the people as a trustworthy man, for there is no guaranty of good conduct equal to an uuass tiled and unassailable record extending over many years of apliyiiy. A glass drefeaer in the Q'Hara works at Pittsburg earned $1.50 in 18C0, the last year of a democratic tariff, and paid $2.50 per duz?n, or about 21 ccnt3 each for the goblets he made. In 1880 he earned in the very &atife es?i.!;J;3!;ment $2.50, and yet he pajd only 3j cents per dozen, or 3 cents each, for the goblets he made, vhltj; x;-i-;e Jitter than any pro duced in 18QQ. Uinbr democracy his day's work earned J goblets, under re publicanism h day's work earned Si goblet?. Illustrations like th ;se from official authority could be given in number suf ficient to fill this sheet. And ytt there are dei'ioci alre orgs as which persist in the cry that the tariff is a t&z, and that the poor workingman is somehow robbed by the duties imposed on cotton, tools, nails and glassware. N. Y. Tribune. TAX FOREIGN PRODUCTS. Why shouldn't this country tux the foreign product? Can any Democrat revenue reformer tell wherein it is better for the American people to tax their pro ducts than to tax some one else's? The Republican protective tariff thinks a good deal more of men than it do?s of merchandise. There isn't a market in the world like our great American mar ket.
