A fall attendance is desired, also the ckd didates are requested to be present G, W. Norton, Secretary. What s the matter with the peoples ticket? There, are lots of "people" right here in Plattsmouth who have never seen or heard a single nominee of that party. Let us bear from you, brethren The Herald is in receipt of a highly illustrated article showing the many good points of a $20,000 sanitarium just opened at Red Oak. If location and its surroundings are as nice as they are de scribed, it would indeed be a pleasant place for recretion. Congressman Dorse? was renomr inated yesterday at Columbus for a fourth term and it goes without saying that he will be elected by the largest congressional majority that will be given in any district in the state. The dude lieutenant-governor that felt bo confident, did not know he was in the race, only receiving 20 votes to Dorsey's 230. It is too sad for thoughtful contem plation, to think of a party whose watch word is reform" and whose every claim for public confidence is to be based on its personal purity, should sell out every thing in sight up in Maine. But the frr.i-i TTorftld and other democratic 4're- forum" newspapers Bay they did, and of course that settles it. The tariff is a tax, you know? The -Mt. dntv on steel rails is $17 per ten. movw. - J . jrt and the price ranges in mcago "om $29 to $33 per ton. Now if congress was to r.iise that duty to $500 per ton, eteel rails would raise in price precisely the amount of the duty imposed, plus the market value of the rails. That would make the rails cost us (editors) $533 per ton. Pretty tough, isn't ir. ) The Platform.

The prospectors at work on the iron ore beds of the Black Hills are nncover- ing extremely valuable deposits. They promise to bring to light enough of this mineral to supply the mines of the mils, the hill cities and the great industries that are bound to spring up there in the near future. When iakota can furnien iron plates as well as the tin to coat them, she will have the power to build up one of the greatest industries oi the plobe. When these tin mines are in operation, Nebraska will have on Her ... i borders a great community wiat consume immense quantities of her sur plus corn, wheat and cattle. If the far mers knew the full possibilities of the tin and iron deposits of the Black Hills, they would be enthusiastically in favor of an adequate measure of protection for the tin industry that would build up this gigantic home market at our doors. We could feed and tax our own people in Dakota rather than to compete with India and Australia in our efforts to fur nish food products to the tin mines of Cornwall in England. We would have no pauper planters of Europe to compete with us in feeding the Dakota miner, it, in the nature of things would be impos sible. Yetjthe loud mouthed demogogues blUld J. tu.uu avm v .

Col. SnERMAN is improving the local page of the Journal since he put the active Col. McClelland and the versatile Col. Peterson on as assistants to the regu lar city editor. If the colonel would get a new writer of lrce trade drivel, an improvement would be gladly noted in that department. The Lincoln Call lovingly speaks of the editor of the Bee as Mr. Rumwater, and he in turn retorts by saying the Call i- a ventre vampire that wanted to sell out to the whisky interests for $1,500 and that the B. M. &B. association would not give it. The honors appear to be even, Fhom a statistical account we notice that there arc 700,000 pensioners enrolled on the pension rolls of the United States, who are paid 129 different rates, ranging from $12to$2,500 per annum. There are about 2,400 persons in foreign coun tries who receive pensions. Of these 5G9 are in Germany, and 475 in Great Britian. Maybe the democratic press will come around in fayor of the Lodge election bill yet. To hear the whimpering of the World-Herald over the splendid major ity of Speaker Reed and its gloomy predictions of the downfall of repub lican institutions on account of cor ruption which permeates American elec tions (in the republican states in the north). Something like the Lodge bill would be a good thing, wouldn't it ? The total vote in Arkansas in the re cent Gubernatorial elections is stated at 191.,000, while that for president in 1SSS was only 155,000. As F:zer, the repub lican alliance candidate for governor, however, ob'ained 27,000 more votes than Harrison, the bourbons were re duced to the necessity of either counting 20,000 or 30,000 extra ballots for their side or lose the state. And you can de pend upon it the party of obstruction will not allow a matter of a few thous and votes to block their way to success. How is the democratic party to elect a president of these United States when Mr. Harrison's time is up, is becoming quite a question, if the democratic news papers of the country are to be credited with telling the truth. It appears from those mediums of intelligence that the rank and file of their party has become wofully corrupt, and that they have sold out body and breeches in Maine and Wyoming. That party must be awful hard up for boodle if its voters sell out, as the democratic press claim they did in - .

The - men who went down in their own pock ets banking on the fidelity, horor and integrity of the citizens of Plattsmouth must not, dare not be betrayed. Ii would be disgraceful and cowardly to refuse at this stage of the work to vote the required aid and thereby throw the burden of the payment of ten thousan dnllnrn on to a few of the men who are not interested in the town half so much as some tax payers whom we have heard try to throw cold water on the propo sition to vote bonds.

LOOK AT THE MARKE 1 S NOT THE THEORY. In 1870 under the free trade theory that we must save the consumer the tax (?) on coffee, congress reduced the duty from five to three cents per pound, and it was heralded over the country, that the reduction so made was an admission that the tariff duty was a tax on the consumer which he was to be relieved from, and that the poor democratic edi tor would henceforth seat himself at his breakfast table, surrounded by his doz en or more children, and sip his coffee without the taste oftax about it, but h and behold, when he went to buy it he found he had to pay just as much as he did wjien the infernal robber tax was upon it; and the importer who had been paying the millions, in this duty into the national treasury was found to be the fellow who had tlie duty (tax) in his pocket Our minister al Brazil, when 1 e was informed that the duty was reduced informed our government that the price of coffee for exportation to the United States h-ul risen just in proportion to duty taken off. Ag'iin in a short time, the free trader in all his anxiety for the poor consumer, again argued that the remaining duty of three cents per pound on coffee was the real cause of the price remaining up and that it was a tax that must be removed. Congress again lis tened to this beautiful theory and re moved the other two cents, that the poor editor might sip his coffee in peace, without the shadow of a tax gatherer falling athwart his plate; and again the poor man went to his favorite grocer, to find the price still. remained up; again our minister reminded the department at Washington that the exporters at Rio Janiero had advanced the price exactly equal to the amount of duty removed, and that the American consumer would have to pay the same old price. Thus we foolishly turned the duty of millions upon millions of poemds of this product fiom the national treasury to the pockets of the foreign coffee broker And, still the freetrader will claim that the consumer pay3 the duty. It has al ways been the query of common people why, if the American consumer pays this duty the foreign exporter is so anxious to haye the duty removed? Perhaps the poor foreigner thinks he pays it and does not know any better. AN OBJECT LESSON. Sac Sun. A Cedar township farmer last Monday brought to town two loads of oats 100 bushels. For these he received $27.00. The tariff on oats is 10c per bushel, so he received (according to the free trade theory) $10.00 more for his oats than he would Lave done if there had been no tariff. He bought $27.00 worth of goods, on which the cost and tariff were as follows: Cost. $5.00 2.50 15.00 4.50 27.00 Tariff 2.?5 .75 2.35 .65 6.00 50 yards cf.lieo 50 pounds nails 1 suit clothes Tinware So it appears that while (according to the free trade theory) he paid " $6 more than he should have done for his goods more than he would if there had been no tariff on them yet by the same theory he received $10 more for his oats because of the tarifi. Therefore he was just $4.00 ahead because there is a tariff on oats and on the goods he bought. This is not a fancy sketch, but an actual transaction which is being more or less closely imitated m our own town everyday. We ask some of our free trade friends to give us an actual tran saction in which the farmer ia robbed by the tariff. We don't want a theory a supposed case we want an actual tran saction, right here in Sac City. The World-Herald of Omaha has been publishing at the head of its edi torial columns, increasing the size of the type at each issue, for several days, ask ing how Mr. Richards stood on prohi bition and calling it a growing question. The Omaha Evening Democrat now asks: "Mr. Hitchcock, how do you stand on any issue?" and adds that it is a natural question. Mr. Hitchcock, as yet. has not answered thi3 very pertinent enquiry. Ex. .
