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,

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.

voters about 60,000 more that New

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,

osition is a fair offset to the other with

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.

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

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
