Official County Paper.
The democrats have placed in nomi
nation a ticket which deserves the sup
port of the party to a mao, and every
one can unite in its support with en
thusiasm. This newspaper will venture dollars
to doughnuts that the South Omaha
Tribune editor gets bis editorial in
spiration from a source that is politi
cally on friendly terms with the U. P.
railway and its attorney, John M.
Thurston.
Thk editor of the Xews is said to
give it out privately that he is a "free
silver republican," but he's not well
enough posted yet to be sure about the
ratio. That's good, and shows pro
gress. There is hope that he may be
really converted to the true faith after
a while.
County conventions of the Ohio de
mocracy are liberally and bitterly de
nouncing Senator Calvin S. Brice for
bis part in that infamous sugar
schedule bargain. Brice's agents are
doing their utmost to stem the tide
and prevent bis being outlawed by the
state convention, but their efforts will
apparently be in vain. The Ohio
democrats are right. Let them re
pudiate Brice and all his works. By so
doing th-y will gain more prestige for
their ticket this fall than they could
by any. other means.
The? shallowness of Mr. Strode's
plea respecting the effect of high and
low tariff is so apparent to a thinking
man that it needs no argument to
meet it. Greater minds than his have
tried that plea and found it was a
failure. Much of a politician as Mr.
Blaine was, and anxious as he was to
succeed, he never made such a claim
as that of Strode. Garfield was "for
that kind of protection that Iead3 to
free trade," but Strode's is of the sort
that could have no ending.
By a strange concidence (?) Majors,
railroad candidate for governor, and
Tobey Castor, railroad democratic pro
moter of republican success, met at a
way station one day this week. They
were on trains going in opposite direc
tions, any yet seemed to know they
were to meet each other. A long con
sultation was held in the space be
tween two freight cars, free from ob
servation as they erroneously supposed.
Yes, oh, yes, "keep in the middle of
the road" and let the "roads" have the
persimmon. Fremont Herald.
Edgar Howard, of the Papillion
Times, is spoken of as a probable legis
lative candidate from Sarpy county.
We don't know many people in that
county, but of all we do know, Mr.
Howard is about the fittest man for
that place, and he has the best wishes,
at least, of the man who "brought him
up" at the printer's case, and knows
him from "'way back," that he may
win. He is not only bright and capa
ble, but he is true to those who trust
him.
It will be in the closing months of
1395 that Utah will become a state-
me 4Dtn. ine recent act or congress
authorized the meeting of a conven
tion in Utah to frame a constitution.
This convention is to assemble in
March rext, and the constitution it
produces will be voted upon by the
Utah people in November, 1895. If it
be ratified by the people and approved
by President Cleveland, the latter will
then issue a proclamation declaring
Utah a state. At the last census Utah
bad a population of 207,905, a very re
spectable figure for a new state.
In a neat pamphlet entitled "Facts
About the South," Mr. R. II. Edmonds,
editor of the Manufacturers Record,
Baltimore, Maryland, furnishes statis
tics that show how fallacious is the
idea held by people not familiar with
the condition of the eouth at the pres
ent time. It has been generally un
derstood that the southern people
were a leisure-loving, good-natured
class of men who were willing that the
north should do all the hustling, but
Mr. Edmonds shows conclusively that
the rate of development in manufac
turing and other interests has fully
kept pace with the rest of the country.

WOOL PRICES DSDKB FREK WOOL.
The wool market just now affords a
good study for the political wool grow
ers of the country. It will pay them
to study facts a while, and forget their
theories and their calamity cries.
In 1890 McKinley listened to the
pleas of Delano, Harpster and Law
rence and granted them greatly in
creased duties on wools in order to
raise prices. But prices never de
clined so much and so rapidly as during
the four years of McKinleyism. The
decline has been almost steady, except
that it was checked for a few months,
after the election of 1892, and that it
was changed into an advance during
the last two months. The decline has
been from 85 to 60 per cent. High
duties on vools, then, have not caused
higher prices, as these wool prophets
predicted. This is mistake number
one.
Nothing was more certain, in the
opinion of some of the wool growers,
than that free wool would greatly re
duce prices of domestic wools and ruin
tliR wool and sheep producing indus
tries. For the flrst time, since 1816,
all wools are now free of duty. What
are the facts up to date ?
All wools become free on August
2Sth. We quote the following prices
of foreign and domestic wools from the
American Wool and Cotton Reporter:

Montivideo 25 to 37 14 to 15
English coarse 35 to 37 23 to 25
This is indeed a strange phenomenon
for the consideration of the National
Wool Growers Associations. Prices of
foreign have declined about 40 per
cent., while prices of domestic wools
have advanced about 10 per cent, dur
ing the last two months.
The Reporter of August 30th says
that the chief feature of the Boston
wool market has been "the purchase
of a million and a half pounds of
Montana by a manufacturer," and con
cludes "it has been, on the whole, a
fair week for trade, and wools in gen
eral have been sold at as high a price
as at any time during the month,
medium wools are especially firm. The
feeling in general is hopeful." Under
New York, the Reporter says: "De
spite the uncertainty surrounding the
markets there is no quotable chaege
in prices. There are a good many
arguments favoring a steadiness in
prices of domestic for some time to
come."
Prices of domestic wools, then, have
not tumbled with the adoption of free
wool, as was predicted by the pro
tection prophets. This is mistake
number two. It might be supposed
that after such monstrous failures
Dalano, Lawrence and Harpster would
withdraw into their shells and never
peep again at the wool question. This
is, however, unlikely. The real ques
tion ia. will the real wool growers ever
again believe these false prophets.
The dangerous character of railway
domination in politics has time and
again been demonstrated to the voters
of Nebraska, and they have every
reason to believe that the election of
John M. Thurston is the election of a
man who is nothing if not a tool of
these corporations. There is not a hair
in bis bead that sympathizes with hon
est, independent citizenship, and from
the nature of his employment there
cannot be. It would be a menace to
free institutions to have such a man in
the senate. The democrats of Ohio are
kicking themselves sore for having
elected such a creature, in the person
of Cal. Brice, to the senate. Brice has
not only disgraced the democracy of
Ohio, but has brought dishonor on his
party by his utter disregard of party
pledges and his boodlerism in behalf
of trusts. A vote for the republican
ticket means a vote for Thurston.
That Thurston is smart is only the
worse, because he can do all the more
harm if elected.
NOMINATION WON ItY IIRIISERV.
Mr. Rosewater, of the Omaha Bee,
delivered an address at Fremont on
Saturday evening 6n "Republicanism
vs. Boodlerism," whih abounded in
charges of villainy against the present
republican management, and his
charges were so sustained by facts and
proois vi meir irutn as to be un
answerable. Of the methods bv which
Mr. Majors received his nomination he
said, among other things:
"Furthermore, I charge that Majors
was nominated by bribery. There were
any number of delegates and I get it
directly from Mr. Jack MacColl
whose fares were paid by Mr. MacColl
from different sections of the state.and
-J

they were bought up the night before I
money, with annual passes, or with
pledges or promises of rebates, what
ever it may be. They were turned
over, they were bought, and I denounce
it as one of the most disgraceful mines
that ever happened jn the state of Ne
braska. When a man procures his
nomination in that manner, no man,
no matter what kind of a partisan he
may be, is bound to support him. He
is absolved. The fraud absolves an
things."
Mr. Strode quoted the speeches
and writings of certain men and states
men to prove an impossible proposi
tion - that free trade has been disas
trous to the country whenever it has
been tried in this country. He ought
to know that he cannot fool thinking
and reading men by any such non
sense. Why, if his statements were
accepted truths of history he ought to
know that there would lo no free
trade party in this or in any other
country in the world. If the low tariff
had always been the disastrous failure
he pictured it, no man, much less no
party, would ever advocate anything
but a high protective tariff. He is
surely smart enough to see this; and
he is simply fooling with people in pre
dicting an argument on such an
absurd proposition. If he wished to
quote history, why not be fair about it
and quote testimony of Mr. Blaine as
well as Mr. Carey? Did Mr. Strode
imagine he could make any friends by
simply quoting one side of a contro
versy, and then calling that "history ?"
He must have felt the weakness of his
cause when he failed to quote from
Mr. Blaine, when he says, page 19G of
his "Twenty Years in Congress":
"The principles embodied in the
tariff of 1846 seemed for the time to be
so entirely vindicated and approved
that resistance to it ceased, not only
among the people but among the pro
tective economists, and even among the
manufacturers to a lartre extent. So
general was this acquiescence that in
1856 a protective tariff was not sug
gested or even hinted by any one of
the three parties which presented presi
dential candidates. It was not sur
prising, therefore, that with a plethoric
condition of the national treasury for
two or three consecutive years, the
democratic congress, in the closing
session of Pierce's administration, en
acted what has since been known as
the tariff of 1S57- By this law the
duties were placed lower than they
had been at any time since the war of
1S12. The act was well received by
a considerable portion of the republi
can party."
Mr. Strode should he fair to his re
publican aud'tors, at least, even if it
does knock the bottom out of his ar
gument.
and still people will make them, and
when they compare the vigorous
manly, argumentative speeches of
Ulen W. Field two years ago with the
weak, puerile effort of J. B. Strode Mon
day night they must be ashamed of the
comparison. To compare Strode with
Field on the stump is putting up a lap-
dog against a mastiff. The republi
cans ought to go off and kick them
selves.
The democratic primaries in Otoe
county were held on Saturday and
were of the liveliest sort, it appearing
that the Morton and Bryan elements
each endeavored to win over the other.
In the city each bide carried two
wards. The joke is on the two editors
of the News Messrs. Mar well and
Hubner who were both snowed under
in the Second and Fourth wards, where
they respectively reside. The Press
puts it down as a fact, that the first was
carried by the Mortonites because some
of Bryan's friends were away from
town at a ball game and that the ball
game was set for that day by design of
the Mortonites, to get the boys away
rrom the primaries. it would tie a
strange incident if the county were to
be carried by the Morton crowd be
cause of that ball game. It is confes
sedly close.
"Protection" and "paternalism
fraternize together. They mean the
same thing. Protection means the
giving of a bounty to one class of
people the manufacturers to "en
able" them to dole out a part of their
profits in the form of "wages" to their
employes the laboring men. Pater
nalism means that the "government"
shall care for all the people who need
it. The protected manufacturer acts
as agent for the government in caring
for the laboring people under him. In
essence they mean the same thing
they mean that freedom and equality
in government is a failure, and that
free men, with an equal chance in the
world, cannot take care of themselves.
The practice of this worse than absurd
doctrine for thirty years past has well
nig'j taken all the spirit of self-dependence
out of men's minds.

There is no u?e disguising the issue.
It is Bryan or Thurston. If the repub
licans control the legislature Thurston
will be chosen senator, while if the
democrats and populists are jointly in
control Bryan will certainly be sent to
a seat alongside Senator Allen. It is
Thurston or Bryan. Which will you
choose? The one is the polished
orator, the great railroad attorney, the
defender and advocate of eastern ideas.
The other is the eloquent orator, the j
true statesman, the able and tireless
champion of western interests. No
man can more ably represent the Union
Pacific in the senate than John M.
Thurston. No man can so faithfully
plead in the halls of congress for west
ern sentiment as can our own Bryan.
Representative John T. Dunn,
of New Jersey, has some very strong
ideas on polit'cal economy, and they
are thoroughly practical, as is the man.
Speaking of the effect of the republi
can policy upon farmers, he said: "If
there is any class of people under the
sun who ought to vote the democratic
ticket it is the farmers. Since I860
farm values have decreased fully 40
per cent in the United States, as
shown by the census figures. There
isu't a country place in New Jersey to
day that is worth over $50 per acre for
farming purposes. 1 happen to own
the old Doty homestead, on the out
skirts of Elizabeth, on which the cele
brated Ben Wade was born. It con
tains eighty-four acres, and in I860
was held at f25,000. I am now
negotiating to sell it for $5,500. Land
is the only thing in this country that
has not kept pace with the increase of
population. Protected industries have
absorbed the increase of value that, in
the absence of laws favoring a special
class, would have gone to land owners
As a legitimate consequence of this
beautiful protection doctrine, Egyp
tian cotton and Indian grain have been
brought into competition with the pro
ducts of our soil, forcing down prices
of both to the lowest point ever re
corded."
Hank McMaken, the ice dealer, i3
no slouch of a politician, and he ia of
the republican sort. As he moves
'round over the state a good deal, he
finds out some things. A month and a
half ag he stated his belief that the
"pops" were going to carry everything
in Nebraska this year, but now he says
he isn't so sure of it. He has been
keeping tao on the stream of emigrants
who are moving out of the western,
burnt-out counties for the winter, and
said yesterday that they were nearly
all populists or democrats. Out of 126
families whom he has accosted going
overland, he found only four of the men
were republicans. So he figures out
that there may be some hope for Tom
Majors yet.

the success'T to Wm. J. Bryan, at
tempting to till his place. Ifwould be
like a bean rattling around in a
bladde If he ever got any distinc
tion it would be like the rays of the

In glancing over the otlicial returns
of the Maine election, Mr. McKinley
and ex-President Harrison may both
be expected to note the fact that Tom
Reed's majority was less than thai of
any republican congressional candidate
