It has justbe.un to dawn on the thinking fanners that the crop report- i-siied by tlur agricultural de partment at W.i-'iinton never iiavC ai:d :'!bably nevei will do them anv u!.

In view of this fact, then, why not let the ex changes and commercial agencies pre i are their own crop statistics? As a matter of fact, government statistics never increased a crop by one pound. They are used mostly to promote gambling in cotton, wheat and corn. Think of it! Two hundred and fifty thousand pounds of Xebraskv butter shipped to Kngland in o.C lot.

Joseph G. Cannon, who was the Speaker of the Fifty-eigth Congress and wants to be Speaker of the Fifty-ninth, was not there, to be sure, but Senator Shelby M. Cullom, who has been claimed as a prince of standpatters, was, and his remarks give a severe snock to the standpatters. He not only de clared himself in favor of recipro city as a means of holding and ex tending our foreign markets, but if reciprocity treaties cannot be ratified he has another makeshift whieh he calls maximum and min imum tariff. He even uses the words "revising where neccessary the t;. riff;" words above all others hateful to standpatters, and pos tively treasonable to Dingleyism.

MR. ROOSEVELT AND RECIPROCITY. (New V.. 1 1. Hi-Mil) The standpatters are infinitely plcased at the attitude of Mr. Roosevelt toward the Chicago con vention for the furtherance of re ciprocal trade relations between this and other governments. Mr. Roosevelt politely refuses to take notice of the great trade gathering. St Louis Republic. At the-outset Mr. Roosevelt seem to earnestly advocate the policy proclaimed bv Mr. McKinlev in his last public address. Mr. Roose velt's discoverv that the tariff question is one of expediency anil not of principle" and his dropping of the subject have given satisfac tion to all the trusts that profit by existing tariff conditions. THE T A R I F FA N iTtH E FARMERS. In delivering the opening address at the reciprocity conference at Chicago, IC. N. Foss, the Poston manufacturer, hit the nail on the head when he said: Has there ever been a time in the past fifty years, if in the his tory of the United States, when the American farmer could afford to sacrfice his foreign outlet? Vet that is what his pretended friehuls among the- standpatters of the country are asking him to do. They have asked him for their sakes, to submit to high tariff on everything' he buys, and he has done, this cheerfully. Now, made bold by monopoly, they ask him to withdraw from the markets of the world. Here- is stated, succinctly, the tariff problem as it effects the far mer. Under the Dingley law the protective tariff has become a shielel of monopoly at home, and the dan gerous enemy of the American far mer abroad.. It operates not alone to permit the trusts to overcharge consumers at home, but to build up the foreign markets for trust controlled articles at the expense of the farmer's market. It is the grossest class legislation ever plac- Keep Your Shirt On. Bryan is to make a tour f the world. He will probably time him self so as to get back in time for the next national democratic con vention. When he returns he- would no doubt be pleased to hear the band play "See the Conquering Hero Comes." Cherokee Orient. There is no more demand for such conte-mptablc-slurs as the above con cerning Mr. Bryan than there- is concerning President Roosevelt or any of the other great men of the country, and it makes us weary to see such statements, even though they etninate from that class of rattlebrains who have nothing else to write about. W. J. Pryan is one among the brainiest men "of the age, and even though he was twice defeated for the presidedcy through the influence of centralized wealth, it does not follow that he is not just as sincere and just as great as any man in the republican party. Renfrow (Oklahoma) Tribune. We are somewhat surprised to read the above in the Tribune, as that paper is owned and edited by Tom Williams, a former well known republican of Cass county. Kvi- dcntly Mr. Williams, like a good ninny other honest and conscien tious republicans is getting his eyes open as to the manue-vers ot the- pirate pilots of the republican party, who have almost steered the national government upon the rock ot destruction. The Journal is pleased to note that Mr. Williams has deserted the rotten old hulk before the general crash comes for come it must if this government is saved. LjAL-jiiv. if.

Tin: farming and cattle-raishig interests of the- west, as well as many manufacturing and com mercial interests elsewhere, are pretty solidly lehind the demand for better foreign markets, which the reciprocity convention was organized to obtain. There seems little prospect that the- republican party will give them what they ask for, just and reasonable as are their demands. But the country is full of people, millioasof them republi cans, who want more in the way of tariff reformation. Their wishes were voiced !' the Iowa republicans in th. demand, that tariff protection be denied to monopoly, and the de mand, though hushetl for the time bv clever manipulation, is not quieted for long. Reasonable tariff revision which shall lift the hea lest of the Dingley burdens, without exposing American industries to hostile foreigh reprisals, is what the country seems now to want. The republicans in the Fifty-ninth congress will do nothing. But the Sixtieth congress is to be elected in the autumn of next year. Ivxchpt of cotton, which by re duced acreage promises only an av erage yield, the indications every where are for uncommonly boun tiful crops. We shall have lots of things to sell and shall want mar kets in which to sell them. The repuplican party will surely hear something drop if Dingleyism is allowed to shut us out of foreign countries that want to buv from us. Rj-:rt'i;LiCAX organs are beginning to reseverate with pious words that their party will never oppose a policy of law enforcement. Pos sibly not in the open. But their bosses are right now whispering with the lid-lifter, the contract fixers, the proffesional bondsmen and the lobbyists. Nor have yet the organs upheld the principle of law enforcemement. All the straws show that the republican machine in Nebraska will be as close to the law-dotlgers as the national g. o. p. is to the tariff trusts. The Tcxes of 1905. ( I'rii Ml. Nt-!.. Tcli L'r:-.;i. Ucij.) The present indications point to the fact that the- tax levy of P;i5 will simply be a dandy and for its burdensomcness will be all that the Telegraph has promised for it. Af ter the- local assessor had valued your personal property for all they could conscientiously place upon it the state board of equalization has raised it 4f per cent, or nearly one- half. There are cattle listed tor taxation in Saline county with more value placed upon them than they would brinff in the market at the time of listingfortaxatiou. Thresh ing machines have been another item greatly valued in the eyes of the state board of equalization and until the time arrives when the col lector shall call upon you the next time you will not know whether you have been assessed or simply held up and robbed of a great ma jority "of your belongings called pei sonal property. ed an a statute book. Avowing himself a protectionist. Mr. Foss frankly admitted that the "Dingley tariff contains the ele ment of monopoly, the element of graft." It is threatening to ex clude the American farmers from the markets of the world in order that American manufacturers mav monopolize the home market, and, by reason of the exhorbitant profits made at home, be able to exploit the foreign markets. When he attacked the tariff on coal and lumber and iron ore and wood pulp. Mr. Foss spoke for the people of the west as much as he he did for the people of the east. When he confessed that, with the dutv removed from these articles. he would need no tariff at all to protect" his business the manu facture of machinery he demolish ed the whole theory of protection as it applies to present-day condi tions in the United States. The Dingley tariff is shielding the trusts while it imposes heavy burdens on consumers: it is stifling competition on manufactured wares at home while it threatens our far mers with the loss of their markets abroad: it is helping to concentrate the wealth of the country in the possession of an arrogant and cor-1 nmt rdutocracv while it fails to ! pHed. had he lived longer produce revenue sufficient to meet the running expenses of the government, even with the assis tance of the internal revenue taxes. The west, which produces the foodstuffs that should feed the world, is interested in securing a tariff that will not close the outlet to its product. Tin: Tribunal at Tecumseh will pass into new hands next week. A young man from P'xcria, Iowa, lie-comes proprietor. C. W. Pocd. who has had charge of the paper for a numlie-r of years, is compell ed to retire on account of ill health. The- young man will have an up grade j mil to make a success of it with two other well established pa pers representing the great politi cal parties. The Tribunal is an in dejendent paper and such a paper will stand a poor show of success in county politics. An indepen dent paper is two much for "bleed ing" candidates, to gain any re spect from the people at large, Pkksiikxt Rooskyelt declines another hot potato. He has about concluded that an extra session of congress is not neccessary, so the mill will not begin until the first Monday in December. Fact is the republican maioritv m the Fiftv- ninth congress is so unwieldy and represents so many diverging views that there is no telling how many factions it may split into when it trets together in Washington. If only it could be done, the republi can bosses would give something handsome to skip the coming session. A ckkat many people wonder what will become of the countrv when they die. They forget that other people have lived and died and the countrv has survived the , , ! 1 1. . shock. ii a man is ricn wnen ne dies, he is remembered as long as his heirs keep his name before the public in contesting his will. If he is poor, his wife mourns his loss until she finds a better man. If he dies young, a few people speculate as to what he might have accom- If he lives to be old, his friends give a sigh of relief as they suggest that he has lived the allotted time, and had reached the point where he was not enjoying life, and was really in the way of the enjoyment of others. We live, some of us pay taxes, and all of us die and the world moves on. Threshing! Threshing ! ! Have your grain ttreshed with the J. I. Case machine and save it. A mick & Pitorsx, Mynard, Neb. So ear as words are concerned, says the Milwaukee News, the pres ident has not abated in the least from his stand in favor of giving to the interstate commerce commission the power to pass upon freight rates and remedy abuses, but his decision not to call an extra session is a sur render of the advantage which he had gained through the agitation of the issue before the last congress. He had the railways on the run. but he has permitted them to reorgan ize their lines and without a special session of congress there is little likelihood that any effective legisla tion will be enacted next winter.
