"Tlm government may uy in the Ian

Most of our debt, in fact approximately

Hut lew know tho object und effect
of the unti-sculping bill now before
congress. J ho Now York Central end
tho Pensylvaniu Central are the only
ronds fighting for the bill. Tho object is
to stop ticket brokers from selling tick
et undr regular rute. The two main
lines would get nearly all the through
travel, could they stop soul per from
selling ticket under price over other
roads? They propose to nut a man in
prison who sell or buy u ticket outside
ol railroad depot. It is tlm big fish
atiug tlm little if tlm law pusses.

The Farmers

Lincoln, Nebraska
getlmr to help eoch other and much good
would bo accomplished. A It Is now
the matter is taken out of thehnndsof
the farmers and hit I turned Into a
money making machine. There are four
railroads running along ft few rod from
the farm und the farmer could run tho
fuir without help of the city chap.
If there is any one thing tbut should
remain unchanged, it Is money. What
wus sound wheat, and corn aud cotton
slxt y yenrs ugo is sound today and Ib
ought to be so with money, In Jack
sou' duy silver and gold were both
eound money but now tho republlenn
plutocrul have discovered that gold
alone Is sound. In a few year more
another jump will bo made but every
timotowurd tho pockets of tho money
lenders. Wo expect Hrynnism to stop
this nonsenso. If we bod any guaran
tee that moneyed men would be satisfied
with the present gold dollur we could
rest more peacefully,

No stranger visiting Mexico ever re
ceived the attention or national honor
that W, J, Hryan did a few days ugo.
If Mr. Hryan should visit Fnglund next
week, he would be snubbed by every
royal cab driver, spit upon by every
lord and hung by the bunkers of Lurn
bard St. Let Cleveland or McKinley
visit Knglund and they would bo Invited
to dine with the queen and tho banker
would kiss the ground at their feet, but
let them visit Mexico and they would be
jostled with a cold shoulder. That 1
just the difference iu men.
e
W. J. Hryan is our candidate for gov
ernor next full, then put on J. H. Meservo
for treasurer and we can carry the stale
by fifty thousund majority, That will
bo a long step toward the white house '
for Mr. Hryan. McKinley, Cleveland anil'
several others have stepped from a kov
emors chair to the presidential chair
and he will bo able to do it without any
of Hunna's twenty millions. The com
mon peoplo must stand up for Nebraska.
V
The gold bug have not nuito cheek
enough, yet to deny that silver I coin.
Neither do they rtouy that all our gov
ernment bonds rend payable in coin.
President Cleveland notified conttrcss
that they could save sixteen millions if
they would mnke the bond that he is
sued read payable in gold, but congros
would not do it. Now we paid that
sixteen millions for the option of puviim-
silver or gold and can it be dishonest or
dishonorable (or u to take onr choice
what kind of coin we will pay? If 1 give
my note payable iu one ton of cheese or
sixteen tens of hay I have a legal and
moral right to pay either cheese or liny.
lew tons oi silver win quiet unv run on
our trenmiry and everything would go
on smoothly again. Hut according to
tho presidents last stMi-ch, before tho
millionaires huimuct, we must unv In
the biggest und best dollar known any
w here in the world without regard to
tho bargalus. So if Hnirland should to
day double the size of her gold coin wu
would Is under obligations to llll V
double gold dollar on our bond. All I
ask, ull any honest man will iisk, is tho
lllflllllieut to the letter of the contract,
and it appear that the seim think so
too, ut least they voted 47 to .'Pi that
way. Now let the house vote down the
senate r. solution if they dure, next full
we will elect a house that will overcount '
eveii the veto power.
