"The deTelopments of the last two
years hare satisfied the Republican
that when Marcos A. Hanna, with
master! , skill and " matchless craft,
took It upon himself to accomplish the
nomination and then the election of
William McKinley four years ago, he
acted st the Instance and as the-agent
of a powerful unscrupulous and au
dacious combination of corporate and
financial interests that were seeking
for their own selfish aggrandizement
control of legislative and executive
branches of our national government.
That conspiracy was successful. The
trusts and money lenders became the
managers of i the republican party,
placed William McKinley in power
and for over three years have directed
his acts and policies.. They have ex
acted from him and from congress,
which they equally control, gold stand
ard legislation, further privileges to
national tanks, immunity, for trusts,
high tariffs to shield them from com
petition, a larger standing army and
an unjust and un-American war, cost
ing thousands of lives and millions ot
money. . "
A11 this has been done that syndi
cates may profit though the price were
the blood of a brown people, that hun
gered for liberty; the. blood of Ameri
can soldiers and the endangered liber
ties of American, people through the
violation and . repudiation of funda
mental law which is the charter of
their freedom. The republican party
today stands for policies as eternally
opposed to the principles of the Dec
laration of Independence as to the
moral code If the Caristiau religion.
It staads not only, for special privil
eges to favored interests, for army and
for empire, but for conquest, rapine
and brute force. It has returned to
the discarded ideas of kings and em
perors against which our very exis
tence as a nation is a living protest.
It is the embodiment of a sordid and
soulless commercialism and on its ev
ery policy Is stamped the dollar mark.
"This is the product of Hannaism. It
is this against wnich the Republican
protests and to which it cannot and
will not submit. If we hesitated to
doubt the truth of these allegations
before the campaign opened we can
doubt no longer. The republican par
ty stands self-convicted, Its silence
gives assent to the charges, preferred
against It. "Where If the republican

"A few words as to Nebraska. -The
republicans feel keenly the disgrace
attending the exposure of republican
peculations " in the state capitol and
in the state institution. But even in
Its humiliation it hoped that the re
publican party of - Nebraska would
march through the fiery furnace to
higher and Detter grounds that old
bosses would be repudiated and old
methods discarded. We had - hoped
that the old days of Majors and Mac
Coll,, of Bartley and Moore were gone
forever and that corporation domina
tion would be thrown off. Yet today
the Burlington railroad is more than
it ever was before the supreme dicta
tors of Nebraska republicanism. As a
result of Its influence the republican
nominee for governor is a Hastings
man. The Republican would have
be proud of the nomination of a re
publican, able and well qualified Hast
ings republican for this h'gh position,
involving as it does such grave respon
sibilities. . r ... .
"We can hope no longer. When
William McKinley denounced Grover
Cleveland for dishonoring silver, for
making money the master and all
things else the servant; when .he de
clared that dear money made cheap
men, we were with him. We were
with him 'when, in 1896, he promised
us international bimetallism ; we were
with him when he sent the money
commission to Europe. But when he
discredited his own commission and
fastened the gold standard more firm
ly on the -American people, our hearts
were heavy.
.
"We were with McKinley in the war
for the emancipation of Cubans; with
him -when he declared forcible annex
ation would be criminal aggression,
that it was contrary to our code of
morality and not to be thought of. But
when he became the criminal aggres
sor, when he shattered our code of
morality and entered upon the un
thinkable policy of forcible annexation
of the Philippine islands, our faith
was turned to bitter disappointment.
"We wvere with him when he de
clared that it was -our plain duty to
give free trade to. Porto Rico; he vio
lated that plain duty and demanded of
congress the levying ot an unconstitu
tional tariff. We were with him when
he promised the people protection
from the bad trusts; he tied the hands

It is reported that an artificial milk
is being manufactured and placed on

The; question; of attractive packing
as a means of increasing saleableness
of butter-is ; one. that is well worth
studying. . -Butter is one of the things
that the consumers insist upon having
clean in fact and appetizing in appear
ance, and the better class of trade, will
not accept anything else. Prints and
bricks have come to be quite a pop
ular shape ofr putting up butter going
direct to. the consumer. In a good
many instances,: however, there are
complaints that, the; bricks don't held
out, and the fact is Tather weakening
the hold which. this form of package i
would otherwise have upon popular
favor. The careful housewife is apt to
feel a little, resentful when she finds a
pound weighing but fourteen ounces.
Thirty thpusand dozens of eggs were
recently received by a single steamer
in NewYoVk." They came from Ger
many and'"' were limed by a superior
process known to the Germans. A
shipment of sweet potatoes from Am
erica to Europe failed to get through
in good condition, but the sturdy Ger
man can!puthis eggs in the markets
of "New England when the average
New: England hen; ris waiting for the
New Englander to wake up to his in
terest and try to., supply the market.
Is it possible that our neighbors on
the east of us cannot get enough feed
to . induce enough hens to lay eggs
enough for the people of that section
without' Calling; on Germany? There
Is need for an improvement in hen
management when such things are
possible, lief", the enterprising west
ern man gather' up the. eggs from all
over the west, preserve them and put
them on the eastern markets. It does
not look as though the business was
being overdone when importations of
this kind are taking place.
WINTER EGGS.
The early hatched pullets have be
gun to lay ere this. Those that have
not are singing around and soon will
be laying. ' Old hens are in the molt
and the winter's supply of eggs will
come from the early hatched pullets.
May or June hatched pullets may be
gin to lay in February If they are well
cared for and kept In a warm place. It
Is the wrong season of the year for
fowls to lay eggs, but they will do it
if properly fed and sheltered. Getting
a good coat of feathers will determine
the matter with them. If they are
poorly clothed they will not lay.
The early hatched pullets must be
fed about six months before they be
gin to lay. Late hatched ones will
not lay before from seven to nine
months. This is due to several condi
tions, climatic and otherwise. Good,
strong, early-hatched pullets have the
constitution and endurance for a full
winter's So production. If such are
on hand they may be counted on as
laying the largest percentage of eggs
in winter. c 1 - - . ;
OPERATING AN INCUBATOR.
' When. using an incubator the condi
tions for success should not be over
looked. , The temperature of a room
in which an incubator islaced should
be uniform, especially if it is a self
regulating machine and made without
sawdust packing or air-spaces. Con
traction and expansion . are constant
ly going on. owing to the heat and at
mospheric influences; hence, the tern-
perature In the rgg-drawer must dp
affected by It The machines which
are constructed with several inches of
sawdust packing bet'ween the egg-?
chamber and-outside case, or which!
have an air space, between the cases,
fluctuate but little in temperature. An
Incubator should be heated, operated
and thoroughly tested In every part,
in order to be sure that . the tempera
ture is the same in the front, back and
sides of the egg-drawer. In rainy
weather less moisture Is needed in the
machine, especially if there is a valve
on top to let off surplus heat, for it
admits saturated air Into the egg
drawer at the same time. But little, if
any, moisture is required until the
chicks begin to hatch: but the keeping
of the temperature of the egg-drawer
should be such that It will not absorb
the natural moisture of the egg. Too
much moisture la worse than none at
all. By placing a wet sponge in a

STANDARD EAR SEED CORN.
There is a large crop of com in the
principal corn-producing states, and
the quality is extra good. I have seen
many fields of thirty to over one hun
dred acres that will yield sixty to
eighty bushels to the acre. I have no
ticed that when the corn crop is ex
tra good thousands of farmers become
careless about selecting and saving
seed. There is so much that 'is first
class that they seem to think it un
necessary to give any of it special care.
I would advise farmers to be just as
careful.: in selecting and thoroughly
curing seed this year as they would be
if the crop was poor and late in rip
ening! The crop of another year de
pends largely on good, sound seed, and
it would seem that no farmer would
neglect so important a matter; yet
thousands of them will do it. In se
lecting seed ears, don't pick out the
largest, but aim to select standard size
and shape. In the "central corn belt"
a standard ear is ten inches in length,
seven and one-half inches in curcum
ference, and should yield ninety per
cent of grain. It should be even its
entire length and be well filled out at
both ends. It has been found that
corn of thisvdescription gives the best
yield to the acre, and is the most re
liable in a term of years. One farmer
of my acquaintance objected to the
"standard" ear, on the ground that it
is not large enough. "I sell my corn
on the ear," said he, "and I want a
big ear and a big cob because they
weigh. I get more money from an acre
of big-eared corn than from one of
"standard" corn. The weight is what
I want, and it is immaterial to me
whether that weight is in the grain or
cob, so I get it." That is a tenant
farmer's idea, but I think he is wrong.

Republican Lies
In all political compaigns there is
more or less flat-footed, plain lying
done, but the republicans seem to be
determined to break the record on ly
ing in this campaign. One remark
able thing about theni is, that they lie
when it will do them no possible good.
Perhaps that comes from a habit, and
they do it automatically, as it were.
Tbe eastern papers have been publish
ing a story to the effect that the chap
lain of Bryan's old regiment rushed up
to Roosevelt, shook hands with him
and told him that four years ago he
voted for Bryan, but this time he was
going to .vote for McKinley. The chap
lain writes the following letter which
will never be printed in any republi
can paper and all the mullet heads will
firmly believe to their dying day that
Bryan's old chaplain has gone back on
him. The letter is as follows:
North Bend, Neb., Oct. 8. A sister,
living in Illinois, has called my atten
tion to the following statement which
appeared in the Chicago Tribune one
day of last week: "Rev. W. H. Under
wood, late chaplain of the Third Ne
braska, under Colonel Bryan, shook
hands with Mr. Roosevelt and told
him that four years ago he voted for
Mr. Bryan, but now was a McKinley
man." I am not surprise-d. now, that
Mr. Roosevelt tarried Nebraska last
week for McKinley. I never told him
that I would vote for McKinley nor
that. I voted for Mr. Bryan in 1896.
neither did I speak to him, nor shake
hands with him. With these few ex
ceptions the above is correct.
Four years ago Mr. Bryan was my
choice, so he is now. After six months
service as an officer, under Colonel
Bryan my admiration for him knows
no bounds. He is a true man under all
circumstances. I found him a faith
ful soldier acd had he been tried in
battle he would have led the bravest.
But Colonel Bryan has no love for
military display, and deprecates war.
This element in his character, even by
many good people, is -tnought to be a
weakness but it rojeices my heart that
he is not conducting his part of the
campaign after the fashion of the
"rough rider." History furnishes
plenty of evidence that humanity
needs no such encouragement in war
like habits. I like to follow him for I
am persuadeq that as a Christian
statesman our leader has no equal.
Aside from a large brain and a great
heart full of generous affection for all
men, he has a moral courage that is
vvblime. No word . o praie taut : I
have heard or read concerning Bryan
have been extragagant. . "He is a
giant in all ;;ood works," and I be
lieve "an" approved servant of heav
en." W. H. UNDERWOOD.

claim that will be very hard to ignore.
A recent cablegram savs:
"In the demand of Li Hung Chang

"THERE ARE NO TRUSTS"
That is What Hanna Said, but a Scotch
man Points Out One and Tells How
It Char ires Americans Twice what
It Charges Englishmen.
Senator Hanna made a statement a
few days ago at a large meeting of em
ployes in Chicago in which he said he
did not believe there was a "trust" in
America. Senator Hanna from his ex
perience as a , business man and a
politician must- have known better;
therefore he must have been trying to
fool the. people, as there are several
"trusts" in America that could not
exist anywhere else but in the United
States, and Mr. Hanna must know it.
No doubt many people have wrong
ideas of what a Atrust" is. I do not
call an incorporated stock company or
united .liability company, or a com
bination of a few such companies a
"trust," but . I think I can so call a
consolidation of all firms and corpora
tions engaged in one special line of
producing and manufacturing, to the
exclusion of all other manufacturers
in a country likethe United States,
and I think I can show clearly to Sen
ator Hanna there is such a "trust" in
this country. I will take the "spool,
cotton trust," which is perhaps the
largest in the United States, not ex
cepting the. "Standard Oil trust "The
spool-cotton trust has its headquarters
I believe, in Eaisley, Scotland. It was
organized as the Spool-Cotton Agency
about 1884 or . 1885 by J. & P. Coats
company, Clark & Co. of, Paisley and
John Clark Jr. & Co. of Mile End,
Glasgow, with clearing houses in
Glasgow, Liverpool and London. Each
of these companies manufactured spool
cotton, in the United States, and car
ried on business separately and indi
vidually until about five years ago.
when they formed a combination and
incorporated . a company under the
name of the "Spool-Cotton company."
They found great competition In their
business from a number of smaller
American companies (about eleven
manufacturers) for about two years;
about that time, or two years ago, the
Spool-Cotton company got control of
all the spool-cotton manufactories of
the United States and incorporated the
"American Spool-Cotton company."
The result is the "Spool-Cotton Agen
cy" controls the Spool-Cotton company
and the "American Spool-Cotton com
pany," and there is not another spool
cotton manufacturer in the United
States. They raised the prices 20 to
23 per cent closed up about thirty offi
ces throughout the country and left
their staff of help and salesmen out of
positions, and the poor sewing woman
had to pay more for her thread and
must buy it from this "trust" They
also discontinued selling some brands
of thread manufactured by the smaller
American firms which were in good
demand, because, a they stated, it did
not pay them, although the "trust"
pays a dividend of 45 per cent on its
stock. - '
The price of one dozen six-cord spool
cotton today in the United States is
50 cents, and it cannoc be bought ex
cept from . the Spool-Cotton company
or the American Spool-Cotton com
pany, which are one and the same, yet
the Spool-Cotton Agency of Paisley,
Scotland, which controls the American
"trust." sells the same thread in Lon
don at 14s 6d or 15s a gross, or 23
cents a dozen. Why? Because the
Spool-Cotton Agency has about twenty
competitors In Great Britain and Ire
land. I have heard many seemingly
intelligent people say there are more
trusts in England than America, but
this is not so. Great 'Britain is the
home of many large stock companies
or limited liability companies, but I
do not think -any one can name one
trust in Great. Britain, and such a
trust as I have shown could not be
formed or exist in any country ex
cept the United States. If Senator
Hanna knows this, which he certainly
must, and cannot remedy it, he should
let the people know it and not try and
mislead them.

year 1900, $674,981,022.29, and the es
timates and appropriatfoas for 1901
amount to $767,S50,540.04, which
makes . a grand total for the three
years of $2,333,06 U 78.73, or an aver
age each year of $778,687,726.26. The
average per year befor the Spanish
war was $477,248,027.56, which shows
an annual Increase of $301 439,698.70.
or an increase in thrte years over
what the appiopriatior.r would-have
been but for the change from a repub
lic to an empire of . over $900 000,000.
Of course, not all of this alarming in
crease is due to the policy of imperial
ism for some of it belongs legitimately
to the war with Spain. But when the
war with Spain ceased the war ex
penditures should also cease. During
th;; last session of congrsss bills were
introduced by fuonists to repeal In
whole or in part thewar revenue bill
which was passed June 13, 1898. This
bill provided for special taxe stamp
duties, etc. War was declared April
21, 1S9S. The peace treaty wei signed
December 10 of that yea, and vas rati
fied by the senate February 6, . 1899,
but the war tax was. passed with the
distinct understanding that it was only
a war measure stands unrepealed. This
tax falls mainly on the poor. Beer
and tobacco are consumed by the poor
and it is the consumer who in the end
pays the tax. , A lease for a cottage is
taxed as much as one for a mansion.
A bank check for $5 tb; same as one
for a million., A-bill of. lading for a
barrel-of potatoes as much as one for
a cargo or trainload -of products. The
bills introduced by democrats and pop
ulists to repeal this war tax were all
put to sleep by the republican commit
tees and the republican administra
tion would not even allow a vote uppo
any of them.
