The Mc Kinley tariff, it says, went into opera tion about four years ago, and in that short time it reduced the country from prosperity to a condition of financial and industrial depression unparalleled in the history of the nation. It cut down the revenues to a sum insufficient to meet the expenses of the govern ment and compelled the sale of bonds. It produced more business failures than were ever before known in this country in a like space of time. This is the truth about McKinleyism. This is what it did in four years for the country. The people have begun examining the provisions of the new law, and they are discovering its merits. The saving of $1,000,000,000 annually, which under the old and odious law was taken from them in needless taxa tion in order to fatten the trusts, is beginning to influence the minds of the intelligent people, and when the November election comes the verdict will be on the other side of the political fence. This is a hint to the careless figure man who makes estimates with out reason. Kansas City Times. The people will give more and more approval to the new tariff bill as they experience the benefits it will confer on them. Already it has killed all de sire for a return to McKinleyism. The democrats of Georgia have managed to pull through their state election by the narrow majority of 10, 000, as compared with 72,000 in 1892 for Gov. Worthen. The cause of this slump was the attitude of the adminis tration on the money question, sup plemented by the campaign made by Hoke Smith and Judge Turner, who went into the state, just as Mr. Morton did in Nebraska two years ago, and argued that the free coinage of silver doctrine bad no place in a democratic platform, but was populism, pure and simple, and denounced every man as a populist who advocated it. This was done notwithstanding the fact that the state platform, the candidate for gov ernor and nearly all the congressmen were pledged to the free coinage doc trine, and made their canvass on that theory. The result is that thousands of democrats were driven into the populist ranks taking Hoke Smith at his word, and preferring populism to gold-buggery. The result ought tote a lesson to the democracy of the country. Georqe, Leidigh who was no mi-; nated by the independents for float representative or the district compos ing Otoe and Cass counties, is a demo and Injections, tt ) Bsxno diseases without anyinconri BUT A GENUINE CLOSING-OUT EVERYTHING WILL crat and represented Otoe county in the last legislature. He is a first-class man, one of nature's noblemen, who has by hard work and good manage ment accumulated a competency of this world's goods, and his ambition is to serve the state's best interests. If Cass and Otoe democrats could have got together in an honest convention he would have been the democratic nominee. The Cass county demo cratic committee have recommended Mr. Leidigh to the democrats of this county as the right man for them to vote for and he will be elected. The democrats and populists of Cass county, imitating the example of the Gov. Morton and the Nebraska demo crats and anti-monops in 18S4, have agreed upon a fusion ticket the demo crats agreeing to vote for B. F. Alien for senator and David McCaig for rep resentative, while the populists have placed the name of Guy Livingston on their ticket and pledged him their sup port. The democrats had no candidate for senator, so they were in favor of Mr. Allen at the start. Lou Foltz, democrat, declined to run, and Dr. Madding withdrew in favor of Mr. Livingston. This combination ought to sweep the county easily. Opponents of free coinage assert that they are for silver, but want a dollar's worth of silver in a dollar. If that was all they wanted there would be no difference between them and free coinage men; but the trouble is the gold dollar has been so appreciated by reason of the adoption of the gold standard that there is a dollar and fifty cents worth of gold in every dollar, and they want silver measured by that standard. Measured by the gold standard the property of this country isn't worth as much as 66 per cent, of what it was two years ago, and the single gold standard is to blame for it. The democrats of Ohio are in the silver fight without reservation. Chairman Thurman has issued an ad dress to the voters of the state, in which he takes the ground that the silver question is the main issue, and that no permanent prosperity can come to the people until silver is given free coinage, as of old. The argument is powerful and convincing, and cer tain to awaken renewed interest in the financial question. Mr. Thurman is the son of the old Roman, Allen G. Thurman.and is a chip off the old block.

This Great Opportunity to Save Money. - - NEXT TO HOI.TKI) FOK A tL It POSE. There is a split in the ranks of the Nebraska democracy. A few self-con-Etituted leaders who refused to bow to public sentiment, which in Nebraska is overwhelmingly for Bryan and Hol comb, bolted the convention and nomi nated an independent ticket. The bolt was lead by Euclid Martin, a democrat when there is something in it for Mar tin. land Tobias Castor, an oil-room corporation tool, whose prominence in the party the past two years has been an eye-sore and a disgrace, and which has cost the party thousands of votes. The vote simply reflects imperialism on the part of Martin and subserviency to the corporation octopus on the part of Castor. The few fledglings who fol lowed them were in all probability there for that specific purpose and probably do not even control their own votes. The bolt is in the interest of Tom Majors, the corporation candidate for governor, and is intending to elect Majors by capturing democratic votes, that would otherwise go to Ilolcomb, for the independent ticket. The bolt ers have no hope of electing their ticket and are acting clearly in the in terest of Majors. Indeed, it is a dol lar to doughnuts that Martin, Castor and the men who nominated the inde pendent ticket will vote for Majors and had their minds made up even before they bolted the convention. The dem ocrats of Nebraska should be careful and not get caught in this net, and should take off their coats and do their utmost to carry the state for Bryan and Ilolcomb and against Majors and the corporations. Council Bluffs Globe. Isn't it about time that Bill Paxton, McShane, Yates and Co., would get up a "business men's scare" about the election of Ilolcomb, and try to frighten voters out of doing their duty by the state ? The chances are getting desperate. These fellows who have been robbing the farmers at the South Omaha stock yards probably realize that their preserves will not be safe in case a reform administration and legis lature is elected. They know that their chance of making $80,000 profit on a single hay contract will be mighty slim if an honest governor and an hon est legislature is elected. Those fel lows have a right to be scared, and it is no wonder they have bolted the nomination of Ilolcomb. It was all right for McShane to assist in the elec tion of Allen (a populist) to the senate two years ago, but it's all wrong for the democrats to support just as good a man now for governor. Two years ago McShane tried to work the demo crats in the legislature to oppose a iaw 1 gecond 0FFICB: of the SALE, AND BE SOLD AS ADVERTISED. FIRST NATIONAL regulating charges at the stock yards and because Bryan blocked his scheme he joined the detractor against Bryan and declared that Bryan was politically dead. It is time for that gang to Ehow its hand. They are little less than a gang of robbers, masquerading as dem ocrats, and it ia time they joined their natural allies, the republicans, in the effort to continue their nefarious busi ness. Let them howl ! The masses of voters in Nebraska have heard their cry of ' wolf "too often to be fright ened this year. B. F. Allen, a horn the democrats and populists have united upon for senator from Cass county, is a sub stantial farmer from Elmwood precinct, living near Wabash, who has resided in this county for twenty-three years lie is of New England birth but' was reared in New York state, where he received an academic education. He began life for himself in Illinois, where he married and resided till he made Cass county his home. He is not a man given to oratory or much speak ing, but is a first-class citizen, an honest man and a man of good com mon seuse, and would be a credit to Cass county in the state senate. He would vote right every time. The primary principle of a free gov ernment is that all laws shall be equal in their bearing and every man should have an equal chance in the race for life and property. This principle is nullified by the theory and practice of a protective tariff, which, professedly, if not in effect, helps one class (the manufacturer) in the hope that that class may help the other class (the mechanic or laborer) in the race for life. It upsets the who principle of equality before the law. County Attorney Travis is too busy in court to do any electioneering, but the public interests are more im portant than his individual affairs. Kleine Polk can have the political field to himself. The more men see of him the better for Mr. Travis. The populists of Otoe county and Cass county nominated Geo. Leidigh float representative. Mr. Leidigh is also a democrat candidate. He served in the last legislature as a democrat and helped elect Allen U. S. senator. Grand Island Democrat. Tna man who adheres to or believes in democratic principles must be lack- in patriotism who contemplates voting for Tom Majors. If there is a demo cratic idea or principle that he repre sents nobody has ever discovered it. mTTIL NBH. floor of U To4 Mock. court nonse. BANK. 'Mrs. J. Benson, LADIES' FURNISHER. OMASA.
