Republicans owe it to themselves to see that the entire ticket is elected a week from Tuesday. John A. Dayies is making friends wherever he goes, and the outlook for his election is brighter every day. Bryan's 24th edition of bis great Carlisle-Mills speech will be delivered to the public at the opera house tonight. Hon. J. G. Tate polished off and showed up the duplicity of the World Herald in a scathing manner last night. The democrarts seem to think that Bryan can yaDquisn any of the tariff orators. But remember he will not ask Mr. Tate to divide any time with him. The threatene.l general advance in prices having failed, the democratic con gressional committee is in search of an other full grown fake to spring on the public. Ex. Iiuugation in western Nebraska is making wonderful advancement. Lin coln county has 25,000 acres under irri gation and Keith county has works in progress which will irrigate nearly o00, 000 acre?. Hon. L. D. Richards began life as a pile driver and tin: present indications are that he will resume operations with that useful but emphatic implement for one day only on the 4th of November. Omaha Bee. No republican can fime a good valid excuse why he should not cordially sup port Mr. Sheldon for county commis sioner. "We have been electing demo crats riyht along on the county seat is sue. That question is practically set tled, there is no earthly excuse fur rais ing it at this time simply to place another democrat in office. Yesterday's cablegrams from London which contained no politics, contained -the following state ment which ought to make the aver age democrat think a little it nothing more: "Trade difficulties are arising in Shef field out of the McKinley tariff bill The manufacturers are anxious to cut down wages in view of the loss of the American market, and the cutlers' unions will not consent. At Bradford several large manufacturers who had spoken of going to America and starting establish merits there have changed their minds in the hope that the bill will soon be modified or repealed." When Bertie Hitchcock was display ing his goods in a western city and des canting on the certain rise that must come, a merchant in the audience is said to haye asked some very annoying ques tions concerning the matter. It was after he had gone over the whole list as presented in Fremont, and shown that on the dozen articles he had in his pos session there would be about a 3 rise, when the folio wins colloquy occurred: Merchant You say you purchase these goods at the old prices? Hitchcock Yes. They have not yet marked them up. but they are certain to do so. Merchant Did Falkner assure you just when this rise would occur? Hitchcock Not to a day or to the week, but he assured me that it was cer tain to come as soon as new goods came into the market. Merchant Now let me make you a proposition. If your Mr. Falkner will give me a bond that this rise, as you pre dict, will certainly come, I will furnish you $100,000 to invest in these goods at once, and give you half you make on them. I notice those merchants are ad vertising that they are still selling at the old price?, and that those who desire to purchase before the rise should. come quickly. Now they are fools. If this ri", as you predict is certain, and Falk ner and other merchants actually be lieved it, they would shut up their stores and wait and make more money in one month bv so doing than they could make in a year under the regular regime. You do not Iwlieve it, Mr. Hitchcock. Eng land docs not believe it, the merchant doe not believe it, and it is only a cry raised lr the English factor to leat the party that injures his business. Fremont Flail. The Journal talked of nothing but the effect of the McKinley bill on shoes for several days. Why has it dropped the subject? Is it because the people will no longer be humbuged. The winnings of Senator Hearst's great 3-year-old colt Tournament, this year, have been about $84,000. The trouble with Bryan, Nebraska's 3-yearJ old, is that he is not a winner at all. The idea that the frothy windy Bryan, who does not know enough to make but one speech, and that one he has garbled from Carlisle, Mills & Co, the idea that he should frighten any republican as to his importance, is simply ridiculous. The gerrymander is almost as distinct ively democratic an institution as the shotgun and the false count. This year there is a fair probability that old El brige Gerry's device, as represented in the Ohio rascality, will be knocked out in the McKinley district, When the democrats talk about the alleged increase of the prices ot carpets by the new tariff Uw, they oyerlook Ithe significant fact that under the policy of protection, wbicL is the basis of said law the prices of carpets have fallen over one half in this country since 1872. Senator Paddock did not denounce the McKinley bill; he simply informed 6ome of the managers of that measure in the Senate that unless binding twine was nlaced on the free list he would vote against the entire bill. It was not put on I and he kept his promise. One of the most sensible ways of con sidering criticisms of the low tariff law is to compare it with the Mills lill, and see how much better it is in every respect than that iniquitous measure. Any in teliigent voter can thus easily satisfy him self that the republicans are the true friends of American labor and of sound and wholesome tariff reform.-Globe Dem ocrat. Canada's repeal of its export duty on lumber which is brought about by the McKinley tariff, will largely reduce the price of that product to American con sumers. This conspicuous benefit, which come directly from the tariff, will ren der harmless all the democratic abuse which can be hurled against the from this time to election day. N. Y. Tribnne. The Herald does not garble Mr. Bry an's statements, but prints what he said word for word, as it was taken down by a short hand reporter at the time. The truth is, he knows he said it, and it's the truth that hurts him; it's the truth being circulated here that necessitates Mr. Bry an's change in program and brings him so suddenly to Plattsmouth, to address the unterrified on the status of the demo ocratic party. The "twilight twinkler" from its roost in Sherwood's. basement, says: "The democratic nominees on the countv ticket have stood the test of pop ular criticism most admirably, and with half an effort will be elected by rousing majorities."' And yet we are constrained to enquire, what's the matter with McClintic, that Lemasters has won your fickle heart, when your loye should liave been for Mac, and Mac alone. C. Lemasters, the independent can didate for the senate, was in lown yester day and is said to have made some friends during his stay. riattsmouth Journal. Oh! he did, did he; your palms, Mr. Sherman, were greased by "independent" money, were they not, at about the same time that he was "making some friends," and yet you will haye the supreme nerye to say that the democratic ticket will be elected, when there is a part of it that you will notsupport yourself, and don't want elected. A cablegram from Manchester says that on Thursday the full text of the Mc Kinley bill reached Manchester, and its provisions are being freely discussed. It is now seen that the bill will hit the high class of prints heavily and fine goods and cottons generally. The Pall Mall Gazette is quoted as follows: When duties were raised by the war tar iffs, an increase from 20 per cent of duty on textiles to 50 and (10 per cent played havoc with our American trade. It was found impossible to compete with the American mtuufacturer in the production of cheap staple products, and so atten tion was d'rected to the manufacture of novelties and designs of a superior kind which found favors and purchasers in America in spite of the high duties. Experience has shewn that novelties and high class products find a market in the United States regardless of cost. In other words so much of the tariff as will not be paid by the British mill owners will be borne by those unpatriot ic, dudisnly inclined Americans who in sist upon having foreign goods at any cost, while ordinary classes of goods used by the working people will be manufac tured at home and sold so.cheaply that the .foreign manufactuiers of similar grades cannot compete. And so Mr. Bryan is "tired of hearing ! about laws made for the benefit of the men who work in the shops," is he! Well, there are several thousand men who work in the shops in this district who are very tired of Mr. Brvan. It is a stand-off all around. State Journal. TnE Journal quotes approvingly what the Wymore Union has to say about Connell, and calls it a "staunch republi can paper." When the Wymore Union man failed to get in as Pest Master of that bur;, his republicanism took flight and he is now trymg apparently to elect Bryan or Root. The yast improvements and exten sions planned by the Santa Fe Company will make it one of the greatest railroad systems on the continent, if not in the world. On the east it haB entrance to Chicago and St. Louis, on the southwest to Mexico, and is pushing its line into the very heart of the Huntington system SanFrncisco. The empire traversed by the road, the products and resources of the country, makes the extension of the system into Nebraska a desirable un dertaking. It is already on the borders of the state, and steps should be taken to induce the managers to include a Nebras ka branch in their projects. Suce a road would open new markets for the products of the state in exchange for the cattle and precious metals of the southwest. Omaha Bee. This winter will come before the legis lature at Lincoln a new apportion bill, and if republicans do not want legisla tive districts like McKinley ,s congression al district, a map of which we printed some time ago, or in other words if they do not want to be legislated out of a fair representation they must see to it that every man on the ticket is elected. For instance if Cass were thrown into a district with Sarpy with its 500 demo cratic majority, the republicans of this county would not need to nominate a legislative ticket, it would be doomed to certain defeat. The same result would follow if Cass and Sarpy were thrown into a judicial district, and the only way to prevent this calamity, is for every re publican to work from now on earnestly and zealously for. the success of our ticket. If you don't like Barnes vote for him any way. If you don't like Thomas or Stopher vote for them any way, through them alone can your inter ests be safely intrusted. Let no personal feeling be in the way of success at the polls, for much more than we have men tioned depends upon the election of the ticket that stands every wh-re for a free ballot and a fair count, and for the con stitutional doctrine that majorities and not minorities shall rule. The poor farmers county turned out in elegant top buggies drawn by fine horses at Beatrice the other day. The parade made the city people envy the poverty of the down trodden agri culturists," says the State Journal. Tne farmers of Cass county are afflicted with the same kind of poverty. One farmer that we know of has $00,000 on interest besidss his "bwad acrs," and he came to Ntbraska a poor man 1 ss than thirty ve?.rs c'ltfo. The democratic papers which have been saying that $100,000 has been put into the McKinley district by the repul -licans for electioneering pui poses now seem disposed to make the sum $150, 000 or $200,000. This shows that dem ocrats fright at the prospects in that lo cality is br-tween .one and a half times and twice as great as it was a few weeks aero. Ex Just at present there ought to be a great demand for Mr. Council's wire nails, every day there comes the announ cement that some new campaign li s have been nailed.- World-Herald. Yes. And Mr. Tate nailed a few of yours, and clinched thera so thoroughly, that if self respect was one of your at tributes, the matter of campaign lies would not be alluded to again. Had a republican done the one half of what Mr. Boyd did in calling out the militia and shooting down the honest and sturdy laboring man on the streets of Omaha, the World-Herald would have b:iled witli condemnation, and every column would have enquired, "how can a man ask far the support of the wage worker that has attempted to stifle their organization and has caused one of their number to be sCot down in the street. 'Sin. Bryan omits a great many impor tant matters. He talked long and loud about importations of wheat and corn, which amount to but little, yet he cow ardly refrained from a criticism of bar ley, just as though the farmers did not raise it. And Why? Because over $7,000,000 worth of barley was imported into this country from abroad last year. The tariff on barley helped the farmer, so that Mr. Bryan "garbled" the tariff on farm products in his efforts to deceiye the audience. Wall paper in all styles and prices at Wildman & Fuller's.
