The visit of a Hekald representative

on by the republicans this fall. McKie-

Demorest is in this way giving from $ 200
to $:00 towards prohibition in Nebraska
every month as all the recitals are in fa
yor of prohibition and are selected by
the superintendent.
The first contest in this city took
place last night at the Methodist church
and was not attended as largely as it
should have bcn owing to the threaten
ing weather, the second contest will be
at the same church on the 17th of this
month .
I he farst tiling on the program was a
song by a quartette composed of Mr.
and Mrs. Groom, Mrs. Lovcrin and Mr
Charles Brown. It was a good selection
and was well rendered. The first speaker
was Margaret Davis who has a pleasant,
easy delivery and appropriate gestures.
The 6ong which followed by Mrs. Burris,
"Dare I Tell," delighted the audience.
Bessie Gyger had a selection very suit
able to her voice and manner; her effort
was quite an eh cutionary triumph and
won her the silver medal. Nettie Way
bright had a very difficult selection and
acquitted herself with credit. Messrs.
A. F. Groom and Johnnie Moore favored
t le audience with a good duett that was
well received. Rose Hyers had a select
ion that did not give her voice full
scope, fane nas a good strong voice
well modulated and did well. Emma
Poisall spoke with much fervor and ani
mation and had her subject been more
thoroughly memorized would have been
among the first. Mrs. Burrus sang "Tit
for Tat" and completely captured the
audience. Blanche Kennedy spoke re
markably well and gave Bessie Gyger a
close chase for tirst place. Miss Lizzie
Bibby presided at the organ. Everyone
was so well pleased with the entertain
ment that the next one will be greeted
with a crowded house.

S, A. Davis the agent of the Standard

and he has noticed quite an increase in
consumption, notwithstanding the
growth of the electric light, and gas
plants. Plattsmouth demands and re

nothing about it until he gets McKieghan

THE TRUTH ABOUT IT
To read the democratic Journals, one
would suppose the McKinley bill was
gigantic scheme to bankrupt the people;
worse and more far reaching in extent,
than a scourge of pestilence or famines
This tirade of the democratic press is
largely hypocritical with a strong sprink
ling of ignorance, for as a matter of fact
the Mills bill vhich they all espoused so
warmly, did not put as much on the free
list as the McKinley bill, and neither did
it reduce the a!2rerate of the tariff
more than one half as much. A yery
clean plain statement of this tariff mat
ter is given by Mr. Dingley, of Maine, a
member of the conference committee,
who is as profound a student of the
tariff as there is in either house. He
says:
"I affirm that it is a measure to diminish
the burdens of the people and increase
the prosperity oj the country. The pro
tective policy proceeds on the assumption
that a duty iaposed upon an article
which we cannot produce is a tax which
increases the cost of such article to the
consumer to the extent of the duty; but
that a protective duty imposed upon an
article which we can produce heie sub
stantially to the extent of our wants is
not a tax which increases the buiden of
the consumer, This is due ;o the fact
that the duty in the. latter case, simply
secures the production or manufacture
of the article here instead of abroad at
the lowest price possible with the pay
ment of wages of labor 77 per cent high
er on the average in this country than in
Europe; and this encouragemet of home
industries not only makes everthing cost
the consumer less than in any other
country in the world, but also exerts a
potent influence in reducing the cost of
production by giving a stimulus to skill
and inventive genius. Carrying out
this protective policy the proposed tariff
transfers to the free list imports which
in the last fiscal year were valued at
$100, 323,000, and which paid a duty in
this case a tax on consumers i mo anting
to .?G,93G,o3(. The Mills bill so called
transfered less than $23,000,000 to the
free list. The effect of this large addi
tion to the free list is to make nearly 50
per cent, of the imports into the United
States absoluely free of duty inasmuch
as oa the basis of last years imports th
value of those which are to be admitted
free of duty under the proposed tariff
would be $;5Gt,sOG,710, against $375,
024,087, dutiable. This would give us
the largest measure of 'freedom of trade'
ever accorded by any tariff in this coun
try. Indeed, prior to 1820 almost no
imports were admitted free of duty.
Even under the so-called "low tariff' of
1S4G the imports free of duty were only
12 per cent; under the Mills bill the free
goods would have only 40 per cent,
while unde " the proposed McKinley tariff
nearly o0 per cent of all our impoits will
be absolutely free of duty. When it is
burne in mind that the articles transfer
red to the free list by the proposed tariff
includes such materials used by our
manufacturing industries as jute, jute
butts, manilla, sisal grass, nickel and
nickel plate, and such articles of food as
sugar, moiasses aud dried currants, the
importance of this legislation will be
appreciated. The proposed tariff not
only reduces the revenue (estimated at
650,000,000) but also reduces the aver
age rate of duty on all imports (which
of course is the true measure of the tariff)
from 30 per cent ad valorem under the
present law to 27 per cent ad valorem,
agairst 2 per cent proposed by the
Mills bill. In 1830 the average duty on
all imports was 43 per cent; in 180',
under our war tariff, it was 464, per cent.
The proposed reduction of the average
duty on all imports to 27 per cent rbows
how large has been the tariff reduction
which has been made by th republican
party since the war, and is a sufficent
answer to the unfounded charge that we
are maintaining the war tariff.
