The presidential significance of the affair has petered out, but the railway service is great. Ex. IIICj hj yjii a itis uiauag iujiu Jones, stole Mark Hanna's flag day order and is now busily engaged rob bing the dead of their honors by garb ling speeches so as to make them ap pear in the interest of free silver. A vote for E. M. Pollard is a vote for a young man of high character and ability, who has lived all his life in this county. He will be an honor to the party and will represent every, interest with fidelity. Not one word can in any way be said against him. R. G. Ingeksoll gave the fiatists a hard blow the other day, in a speech, when he said: "My friends, if the gov ernment can make money by law, why should it collect taxes ? Think of the government making a poor man pay $10 taxes, when it can strike off a thousand dollar bill in a second." Hon. C E. Bentley, you may be interested in knowing, will close his presidential campaign at Hamburgh, Iowa, next Monday. Mr. Bentley is the prohibition nominee, but like his friend Bryan, he has been starring the country instead of remaining in Lincoln to help out his home people. New York City will have to humbly bow to the "Queen City of the West." Chicago has registered almost 400,000 voters about 60,000 more that New York. She also boasts that while it costs New York $1.34 cents per voter to conduct her elections Chicago car ries on her balloting at a cost of 50 cents per voter. Steve Orton is not a politician in any sense of the word. He tilled the soil in this county for many years, and making a success of farming, be afterwards embarked in business at Weeping Water, where he is still a prominent member of the firm of Tea garded Bros. & Orton. Mr. Orton is justly popular as a representative citi zen. His legislative record two years ago was honorable to himself and creditable to the county, and no reason exists why he should not again re ceive an overwhelming vote to serve a second term in the state legislature. His opponent is a wealthy young man, scarce thirty years of age, and is in no sense so well qualified for this position as Mr. Orton. Those awful plutocrats have been so much in evidence at recent popocrat meetings that we have concluded to utter a word of warning, so that the hideous money power might not cap ture our friends before they realized the danger they were in. Last night Hon. J. M. Patterson, the wealthiest : banker in Cass county, whose only oc cupation Is that of banking, rode over the town with the speaker of the even - ing, Mr. Smy the, and occupied a prom inent position up in front on the stand. The next man to get close to the speak - . er and occupy a prominent position up in front was Samuel Waugh, cashier of the First National bank, an institu tion which the popocratic platform wants wiped off the face of the earth. These bankers being given such prom inence shows conclusively to our mind that the "masses" are already in the 'hands of the plutocrats, and if the banks are what the Bryanite orators have said they were, this country is a "dead rabbit." We mention this in a spirit of warning to the populist wing, which has been sold out body and breeches. A MEXICAN CONTRACT. The Berlin Iron Bridge company ol East Berlin, Conn., have received from their representative, C. Lerdo, Mex ico, the contract for an iron market house at Gaudalajara. If this market bouse were built anywhere in the Uni ted States and paid for in our own money the contract price would be $5,615. The Berlin company are, how ever, to receive in payment for this building Mexican silver dollars, and therefore their contract with the city of Guadalajara is $11,230. If Mr. Bryan and his populistic plat form should prevail and there should be free coinage of silver on the basis of 16 to 1, what is to prevent the Berlin Iron Bridge company from taking the dollars which they receive in payment on this building, each one of which contains more silver than the Ameri can dollar, to the United States mint and, free of expense, have them coined into American silver dollars? Under free silver they will then receive for their building 11.TJ30 Bryan dollars, which he claims will be worth as much as gold dollars, consequently they can be used in paying the employes, thus leaviog the company a clear profit of over $5,000 on this one contract. Or, again, they can take these same 11,230 standard silver dollars ad with these pay ttie labor and ex pen re , f building another mii-Uel house, auoiher bridge or tm.ldiug for the Mexican in rkct. and receive for the same 22,460 Mexi can dollars, lhey can men recoiit these iree of expense iuto American dollars and thus by each, transaction doub.e their money. Does any labor ing man iu this country believe that labor paid for in money of that Wind will have the purchasing power of our present dollar? Would there be any difference in paying labor in those dol lars and in reducing the present wages 50 per cent? Who, under the circuit stances, will be benefited by Tree coin age, capital or labor? Architecture and Building. Maiivin has not lived in vain. Not to be outdone by the "Imaginary Mil lionaire" in Montana who offered to contract for several million ounces of silver at $1.29 per ounce, payable in gold six months after Bryan has signed a tree coinage bill. Marvin offers to contract for the entire American out put of wheat at a dollar per bushel. payable in gold upon delivery "in lots of a million bushels, at his sanctum, thirty days after the inauguration of Palmer and Buckner." The one prop osition is a fair offset to the other with the chances largely in Marvin's favor Beatrice Express. Since your Uncle Sammy Waugh joined the populists there has been some enquiry as to how he explains the plank of the platform which de nounces the national banks. He prob ably takes it as a joke and don't be lieve the pop leaders are at heart really against the banks, but are only trying to fool a few people. Of course. Mr. Waugh would not vote to destroy the institution which gives hira em ployment, neither will he work for an institution which is robbing and im poverishing people. the "plain, common1 Mr. Reed states a great practical truth when he says that the riches of the country west of the Mississippi river are worthless without money to develop them; and the money for that purpose must necessarily be borrowed to a large extent. Therefore, credit is a very important thing to the people of said section. They can not borrow unless somebody is willing to lend; and nobody will lend them 100c dollars when there is the least danger that the debts thus contracted will be paid in 60c dollars. Ex. TnEKE are nearly 1,000,000 voters wno are distinctively "railroad men. 15 Over ninety per cent of them will cast their ballot for Willir.m McKin ley. They do not cherish the thought of having their wag 8 .esseued. Very kind.y. be dollar they get now is i safe one, their wages are on the in crease, and they do not want any dis turbance in our monetary system. Steve Okton served one term ir the legislature with such honor as t( fully deserve a re election. He is bet ter equipped now tnan ever and we predict for him not only a triumphant election, but a career in the house of representatives this winter that his friends will be proud of. Vote for him and see that your neighbor does the same. Several hundred Kansas unher aided, visited Major McKinley at his home the other day. They were com posed largely of railroad employes of the Santa Fe system. They made the long journey from the purest motives and with earnest convictions and hearts warm for the great cause Me lt inley stands for. There is small doubt the.t with the present differences between the price of coal in the western states and the price of corn that there will be a very marked increase in the consumption of corn and a corresponding decrease in the consumption of coal. Corn is 50 per cent cheaper than coal for fuel Trade Exhibit. The greatest preparations for handling the election news are being made in Chicago. Nothing like such a complete arrangement was ever made. A large amount of thought work is due to Chairman Hanna of the national republican committee, who does thoroughly what he undertakes As the days shorten and the strife thickens it becomes more and more apparent that the republican ticket in this county will be elected by a large majority. PRESIDENT GRANT'S MESSAGES. Jesse Grant, who is quoted as say ing that he believes his father if living today, would favor the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1, has evidently not read his father's state papers with care. The following extracts from President Grant's message show how little foun dation he has for his assertioj : "I earnestly recommend such legis lation as will insure a gradual return to specie payments and put an immedi ate stop to fluctuations in the value of currency. To secure the latter, I see but one way and that is to authorize the treasury to redeem its own paper at a Sxsd price when presented and to withhold from circulation all paper so redeemed until sold again for gold. The vast resources of the nation, both developed and undeveloped, ought to make our credit the best on earth." President Grant's First Annual Mes sage, December 6th, 1869. "The approach to the specie basis is very gratifying, but the fact cannot be denied that the instability of the value of our currency is prejudicial to our prosperity and tends to keep up prices to the detriment of trade. . The evils of a depreciated and fluctuatijg cur rency are so great that now, when the premium on gold has fallen so much, it would seem that the time bas ar rived when congress should look to a poliey which would place our currency on a p;ir with gold." Fi om President Grant's Second Annual Message, De cember 5ih, 1870 "Continued fluctuations in the value of gold as compared with the national currency has a damaging effect upon the increased development of the coun try in keeping up the prices of all ar ticles necessary to every day life. It fosters a spirit of gambling prejudicial alike to national morals and national finance. If the question can be met so as to give a fixed value to our currency, that value constantly and uniformly approaching par with specie, a very valuable object would be gained." From President Grant's Third Annual Message, December 3rd, 1871. "The preservation of our national credit is of national importance; next in importance to this, is to provide a national currency of fixed, unvarying value as compared with gold and, as soon as practicable, having due regard for the interests of the debtor class and vicissitudes of trade and commerce, convertible into gold at par." From President Grant's Fourth Annual Mes sage, March 4th, 1872. "The exact medium is specie, the recognized medium of exchange the world over. If obtained, we shall have a currency of the exact degree of elas ticity. If there be too much of it for the legitimate purposes of trade and commerce, it will flow out of the coun try, if too little, the reverse will result. To withhold what we have and to ap preciate our currency to that standard, is the problem deserving the most se rious consideration of- congress." Frem President Grant's Fifth Annual Message, December l3t, 1873. "1 firmly believe that there can be no prosperous and permanent revival of business and industries until a poli cy is adopted, with legislation to carry it out, looking to a return to a specie basis. It is easy to conceive that the debtor and speculative classes may think it of value to them to make so called money abundant until they can throw a portion of their burdens upon others. But even these, I believe, would be disappointed in the result if a course should be pursued which will keep in doubt the value of the legal tender medium of exchange. It seems to me that nothing is clearer than that the greater part of the bur den of existing prostration, for the want of a souDd financial system, falls upon the workingmaa who must, after all, produce the wealth, and the salar ied man who superintends and con ducts business. The burden fails upon them in two ways; by the deprivation of employment and by the decreased ou: cb-t&iiig poer of their salaries " Fri'iii rVofiUeut Grant o Sixth Annual Message, December 7tb, 1874. WHEAT AND SILVER. Two tables in the current issue of Bradstreet's tell the whole story about the now interrupted coincidence in the price of silver and the price of wheat. The first shows that the price of wheat gradually fell from I860 to 1896, pounded down by a steadily growing exporta tion from the wheat exporting coun tries, India, Russia, Argentine and the United Slates. A crop failure in India and Russia sends the price bounding up again. The silver table shows a rapidly in creasing production, ranging from about 15,000,000 ounces in 1850 to 138, 000,000 ounces in 1895, and a fall in the price from $1.35 an ounce in 1S57 to about 65 cents at the present time. This table shows conclusively that the fall of silver and wheat for a long period of years came from the same cause, an over-production of both prod ucts. The feeling of the east is well re flected by Bradstreet's, which says that the confidence in McKinley's election is very strong. "On the part of the sup porters of the Chicago" platform," it adds, "there is apparently a greatly les sened feeling of confidence, which finds expression in charges of coercion on the part of employers to affect re sults at the polls, and the usual alle gations about the uje of money to pur chase votes. The outlook is bright for the sound money cause, but its ad vocates should not allow their vigil ance or energy to be relaxed by any feeling of over-confidence. Victory will not be sufficient; it must be so emphatic, that the free silver issue will be finally removed from American politics." The apple crop of Canada is said to be immense and growers are very will ing to contract at 50 cents a barrel in the orchard and some 60,000 or 70,000 barrels have already been sold at that figure. Even at this low price ship pers do not take hold. They say that in view of the large stocks, not only in Canada but the United States, they do not see any money In them. The Canadian crop is now estimated at 3,750,000 barrels. The yield there is said to be enormous. Orchards from which 3(K) to 400 barrels are usually picked, this year yield from 1,000 to 1,200. The fruit is of fine quality. HON. S. W. Orton, one of the most popular candidates on the republican represenative ticket, spoke at Murray last night with Mr. A. C. Fish to a nice audience, which seemed willing to hear some sound doctrines. Mr. Orton says Fish is one of the best practical talkers he has heard during this campaign. . He is a business man and he analyzes the money question from an intelligent standpoint. We shall expect some good reports from these meetings. E. M. Pollakd has made some of the finest republican speeches of the campaign in the county. He has shown himself to be eminently quali fied to represent the people of Cass in the legislature. A farmer born, raised and educated in Nebraska, he is quali fied to aid in making laws for those engaged in agricultural pursuits. His honor and integrity may be relied upon to do justice to all of his consti tuents. Vote for E. M. Pollard Weeping Water Republican. information and opinions.

They are assured of a good business no mat ter how the election may turn out. If the democrats are defeated they will need something to revive their droop ing spirits. If they are victorious it will require a vast amount of corn juice to assist them in properly cele brating their unexpected winning. Ex. The registration in Philadelphia is 304,744, which compares well with the 331,744 of New York City. It looks as if a Greater New York was necessary to head off that sleepy, big village on the Delaware at which New Yorkers are wont to smile. Ex. The Omaha Forgery Bureau is sadly overworked this year. It is now creat ing G. A. R. posts, ou paper, for the purpose of having them "come out for Bryan." Mr. Hitchcock earned all he will ever receive from the silver miners long before he was compelled to do this dirty work. They ought to excuse him sow. He has done enough State Journal. An incident of the Palmer and Buckner visit to this city was the meeting with the old confederate sol dier and T. H. Wilson, who was under him during the late war. Mr. Wilson banded the general one of the last or ders he had issued, in the handwriting of his adjutant, and the old gentle man's eyes brightened as he read it, when those stirring scenes were brought back to him. He shook hands warmly with Mr. Wilson and seemed very glad to meet with him again, Since the completion of the new B. fc M. depot and B. & M. park at the foot of Main street, that hitherto neg lected part of the town is putting on a new dress. New side walks have taken the place of old ones. Plenty of paint is being used to brighten up old build ings and very soon, as a result of the B. & M. improvements, Lower Main street will be the prettiest part of the town. George W. Harshman, of Avoca,was in the city today looking for someone who wanted to bet on McKinley's elec tion. He wants to bet $100 on Bryan carryiug the state, $100 on Bryan's election, and $5 on each state in the union going for Bryan. This bet is open, so he says, to anyone. Nebraska City News. Tom Watson's letter has turned up at last. It was held up for want of an additional postage stamp, by Senator Butler's local postmaster. The senator appears to be but tnidly wrath with his postmaster for keeping Tommy's letter an entire fortnightin the pigeon hole devoted to over weight letters without notifying him of the . prize that awaited him in return for a2-cent honorarium.
