If, aa 'the democrats itiHisJeK;jt
wa .-Tt 1 1 e tar" ft f '"t ha t b r " u i h t" about

"The world do move." A promi
nent Texas paper, the Austin
Statesman, in a leading editorial,
declares that "the pistol must j?o."
That is the voice of civilization.
Not one time in twenty does the
pistol hit or kill the right party
The practice of carrying one in the
pocket is cowardly and the results
usually disastrous.
K. K. Mills, in a speech in Iowa,
says that "our wheat shipments are
falling off becanse our importations
are falling off." The records, on the
other hand, show that our foreign
trade was larger in the fiscal year
ended six weeks ago than it ever
was befoe in the whole history of
'the county. It is the old story.
Mills doesn't know what he is talk
ing about.
Sixty new boys may be admitted
to West Point this year. This is
the finest military acadenjy in the
world, and now is the time for the
contests to be had to see who may
enter. Another year it is more than
likely that all these beys will be ap
pointed by the different senators
without an examination, which
will make it easier to gain an ad
mittance to this great school.
The alliance convention at Weep
ing Water was composed of a rep
resentative body of men, that in
appearance would have compared
favorably with any other part' in
the county. Their deliberations
were marked with an earnestness
and zeal that could not be misun
derstood. There were a few polit
ical hucksters and floppers present,
but they composed a verj small
minority.
New York Democratic and 'Mug
wump organs are very sure Secre
tary Blaine is not in sympathy with
his party. They declare "he is for
reciprosity," and "reciprocity is
antagonistic to protection." In the
meantime the relation between the
President and the Secretary are
most cordial, and no conventions of
Republicans assemble anywhere
that don't throw up their hats and
praise both the adminstration and
Mr. Blaine.
A Chicago man has come for
ward with a novel World's Fair
suggestion. Instead f trying to
build some lofty structure, he says,
the thing to do is to dig he deepest
hole in the ground on record, say
ten miles deep. Besides the miner
al bonanzas that might be struck,
a great many geological problems
would be solved, and a lot of money
could be made by rigging the shaft
with an elevator and taking pas
sengers to the bottom.
The Louisiana farmers' alliance
lias decided uot to put a third party
ticket in the field for the coming
State election, but to act with the
Democratic party to secure alliance
nominees, as lias been done in other
southern states. That is the rule in
the south. "The alliance" was in
tended for Ohio and Iowa and Ne
braska and Kansas, and not for
Lotterydom or any of the commu
nities where Democracy is already
011 top.
WE clip the following from the
New York Tribune which will ap
ply pretty well to things as they
now are in Omaha:
"There is nothing in the constitu
tion or laws of the United States, or
of any state or territory thereof,
that says one man ma- get rich and
another shall not. But how about
the edict of a gang of irresponsible
conspira'iors against the laws and
peace of the commonwealth that
issues, nye. and enforces, an im
perial ukase like this: A. B. shall
not work in New York till C. D. does
what E. F. orders in Maine? If this
be liberty, kindly define slavery."
Colonel Bkice, the chairman of
the democratic national committee,
buys a convict's labor in Tennessee
a whole year for from fSO to $00.
Jle doesn't'work them any "eight
hours." either, but from sun up to
sunset. He makes millions and
.rives largely to the campaign, and
riiich little side speculations have
to be winked at for the good of the
party. The fact remains, however,
that a felon has displaced an
honest worker, and his family must
be left to hustle or starve so that a
few millionaires can double up on
their millions.
TRADE AT THE WORLD'S
- FAIR.
It is announced that the English
exhibitors at the World's Fair in
tend putting up a list of prices in
two columns. The first column
will give the cost to the purchaser
in Great Britain; the second will
give the cost plus the duties to the
American consumer. The Knglish
exhibitors hope they will in this
way render valuable assistance to
the free traders in their fight
against the protective policy. The
theory is that the thousands who
will visit the World's Fair will be
so struck by the difference in the
prices that they will return to their
homes determined to join the
ranks of the free traders.
There is no doubt that this
scheme of helping on free trade in
America would work to perfection
if there were not two sides to tins
question of cheapness. It tne
thousands who will visit tne
World's Fair were simply consu
mers who had a settled income, the
price-list of the English exhibitors
would undoubtedly make such an
impression that there would not be
the ghost of a chance for the pro
tective policy at the polls. But, un
fortunately for the success of this
plan of booming free trade, a very
small percentage of those who will
read the English price list will be
long to the unfortunate few who
are consumers without at the same
time being producers.
Parallel columns giving the
average wages in Great Britain and
the average wages in America
woidd make the vast majority of
the visitors to the World's Fair lose
all interest in these Knglish price
lists. Americans are too sensible
not to know that cheapness of the
English sort cannot be obtained
except by cheap labor, and as the
vast majority of them are wealth
producers of some kind they will
not feel much attracted by the sort
of cheapness that would require a
considerable paring off of their
waafes. Irish World.
A TARIFF TEST.
The only true test of any law lies
in its practical enforcement, and
this is particularly applicable to
tariff legislation. It is impossible
to tell in advance how a given act
is going to work, so much depends
upon circumstances. The only
safe course is to wait and see what
the effects are before pronouncing
judgment. That is what the peo
ple should have done in the case of
the McKinley bill. They were
asked to give it a fair trial and
to render a verdict upon it accord
ing to its results. The fact is now
plain that they acted too hastily in
condemning it. We are informed
by the official returns that the mis
chief which was predicted has not
come to pass. The democratic talk
about the destruction of our foreign
trade has turned out to be stuff and
nonsense. We are both buying
and selling more than we were be
fore this law was passed. During
the last seven months our imports
have increased $22,000,000 and our
exports $28,000,000 over the corres
ponding period of the previous
year. The amount of duties col
lected has decreased, by reason of
the enlargement of the free list; but
that means a saving to the people,
while the revenue still remains
large enough to meet all the ordi
nary demands of the government.
This is a kind of testimony that
can not be impeached. It repre
sents the actual operations of a law
which has been more lied about,
perhaps, than any other piece of
legislation that was ever enacted.
The people of other nations hare
not quit purchasing our products
in any degree because of this law;
on the contrary, their purchases
have increased. We are taking
more of their products, in turn, aad
we are not paying as much for
them as we did before by about
$65,000,000 i year. The wisdom of
the measure has been Tindicated in
a direct and palpable way. Trade
has been made freer, and at the
same time protection has been
made more effective. The importa
tion of foreign products of a 11011
cempetitive nature is facilitated
rather than hindered, while the
home market is carefully reserved
for the home producer whenever he
can supply what is wanted. That
is what was promised by the advo
cates of the McKinley bill. They
felt confident that it would prove to
be a blessing to the country, and
time has shown that they were
right. The evidence is positive and
conclusive in support of the propo
sition that the new law has not
harmed the country in any partic
ular, but has benefited it4n several
ways. Our foreign trade for the
last fiscal year was the largest in
all the history of the country. That
does not look as if we were being
shut out of desirable markets hy
our tariff policy. It indicates that
we are extending our commerce
without sacrificing the advantage
of our protective system, and that
the duties have been decreased in
such a form as to give the people
the whole gain in the matter.

FREE
A TIN-PLATE TRADE VALEDIC
TORY.
In the course of a retrospecto-
historical article the Colliery Guar-
dain, Loudoti, says:
We may, therefore, take it for
granted that the tin-plate trade of
the United Kingdom at any rate,
so far as the United States are coti-cerned-has
reached the zenith
power in the first half-year of 1801.
And we learn from "Griffith's"
Guide to the Tin-Plate Manufac
turers" that of the 482 tin.plate mills
which were in active operation in
June,377 "are closed until the end of
July." It is said that the balance
will close for one week during each
of the four succeeding months.
This is undeniably done to raise the
natural price of tin-plates in this
market. It is done by a trust, a
combination, a syndicate. But
those who in the past have charged
that the Standard Oil Trust was a
direct residt of Protection will be
found in the ranks of those "strong
siding champions in Chicago and
elsewhere," who "must work and
work hard" for the Welsh tin-plate
trust.
The eight-hour law passed by the
legislature last winter has con
tributed more to unsettle business,
and occasioned more comment on
the part of our people than any law
enacted for some time. It appears
to us that the measure was un
timely and, for several reasons, ob
jectionable. We believe that it is an jnjustice
to the industrial interests of our
state to force upon our industries a
law of this kind, when states all
around us adhere to the old prac
tice. It cannot do otherwise, in
view of this, than discourage manu
facturing industries and disparage
business enterprises generally.
This is plainly demonstrated in the
case of the smelting works at
Omaha. That enterprise, if it were
not already established, would, in
view of the present law, never be
established in Omaha.
Then again, our state is too
young and not sufficiently ad
vanced to hazard its interests on a
law of this kind. If such a radical
departure from custom is to be in
dulged in, we advise that the ex
periment be inaugurated by states
better prepared to sacrifice their in
dustrial interests.
We believe that the law was never
passed by the alliance legislature
for the benefit of the laboring class,
but as a bid for their votes for the
allianceticket. This is conclusively
proven when they insert exception
al clauses, in which farmers are
allowed a chance to hold the hired
help employed by them.
'WAS IT SUICIDE?"
Why marriage is sometimes a
failure is an interesting and im
portant question to all; and every
one, married or single, should read
the absorbing story with the above
title, hy the poet novelist Klla
Wheeler Wilcox, written in that
popular author's most forcible
sti'le, which is published in the
September number of that always
bright periodical Demorest's
Family Magazine. It contains,
besides, an abundance of other
good reading matter, just the sort
that one enjoys at this season.
There is a splendid article, fully
illustrated, about "Brazil;" "A Poet
at Home" tells about Ella Wheeler
Wilcox and her lovely home, and
with it are pictures of "the poet's
corner" and portraits of her in some
of her noted gowns; whether you
ever enjoyed that rare sport moose
hunting or not. you will be inter
ested in "A Stray Shot at a Moose "
written by the fortunate amateur
sportsman who brought down his
game at the first ehbt, which is also
finely' illustrated. "A Seven Day's
Tramp and What it Cost" describes
a "tramp" made by eight girls and
a chaperon, and the chaperon tells
the stor'; then there are stories and
poems, and the various depart
ments are replete with useful and
amusing matter, and there are
nearly 200 illustrations, besides a
beautiful water-color, 'Plaj- ball Pa!'
which appeals to every admirer
and devotee of baseball. And this
is only a fair sample of what one
gets monthly in this ideal Family
Magazine, which is published for
$2 a year, by W. Jennings Demorest,
1.1 East 11th St., New Ynfk City.
Judge Tek-kell, of Texas, is cor
rect in saying that the alien land
law of that state is in harmony with
the national democratic platforms
of 1S.S4 and 1888. Every law of a
foolish or mischievous description
is in harmony with one or more
democratic platforms.
THE present talk about the al
leged impossibility of establishing
the tin plate industry in this coun
trr is the same kind that was heard
when we proposed to manufacture
our own steel rails; but the steel
rail mills were built, and are now
supplying the demand at greatly
reduced prices.
