' "to tern. t 9 k -t .l AltO THE BAILOT fSOX ' Over $40,000 of republican money has been traced into,this state during Xlbe last four or fivetlays. Now what uo ine repumican managers propose to do with that money? No such sum could be legitimately expended in the iasi weeK or tne campaign. Ever" fusion voter should be on the looKoul Ior that money. If a man is known to be a fusionist and refuses to go to the polls and vote, that is a good ground for suspicion. Just tell him so. Stand by the ballot boxes and see to it that no fraudulent votes are polled. Be just as anxious that every republican who has a legal right to vxte shall have the privilege to cast hisballot as a fusionist, but see to it that railroad gangs or other persons who have no legal right to vote shall not cast a ballot to overthrow the Dec laration of Independence and start this nation on a career of imperialism and destruction. A man who is chal lenged has a right under the law to swear in his vote, but these unknown men should be required to furnish some other evidence. If a man has lived in this state six months, forty days in the county and ten days in the precinct, he can have no trouble in get ting good, reliable men to testify to that fact. Insist that be shall do it. j lf he mwin8 to be nonorable and fair ! WH1 nt object. Our most sacred duty is to guard the ballot box. WHO ABE PR01'HETSr v Republicans claim that they are sure tLat McKinley will be elected that they have no doubt at all upon the subject. When pressed to give a reason for the faith that thoy say is within them, they play the Jack Fal staff. The fusion forces believe that Bryan will be elected and the basis ot thir belief is as follows: First, they have been urable to And anywhere -hat those who voted for Bryan In 1S96 have to any extent for saken him that practically the whole force that stood by hint, then will Fttnd by him now. It therefore fol lows that this year he will receive at least as many vote as he did in 1896. They ielieve a very largn proportion of the young men who have come of age in the last four years will vote for Bryan because the avenues of ad vancement have been closed to such j an extent by the trust, j They believe that there will be large J gains among th Germans. This belief Is bawsd upon the fact that hundreds land eten thousands of Germans and j German newspapers that supported 1 McKiiiey In 1895 have. publicly pro- claimed that they would support Bry an. Among these are 'some of the most distinguished men in the na tion. " They believe that most of the gold democrats who supported McKinley last time will this time vote for Bryan. They base their belief upon the fact that nearly every one of . the promi nent men among them are out on the stump advocating the election of Bry an or have pjblicly announced their Intention to vote for him. In 189ti a very large proportion of the Irish vote went to McKinley. Now the Irish are practically unanimous for Bryan only one here and there can be counted for McKinley. - ; The . vote of the Hollanders was solid for McKInley in 1896. No one now denies that . it will be solid for Bryan this time, which change has been bronght about on account j of Mc KInley 's ' treatment of the Boers. The - anti-imperialist vote which must number hundreds of thousands will all be cast for Bryan. Nearly all the leaders in ibis movement have been prominent in the councils of the republican partymany of them r its leaders ever since the party was' or ganized. This vote Is a distinct gain for Bryan and a loss to McKinley. It is the first time that the reform vote has-been practically unanimous. All of the . reform element that will cast a vote for any other candidate than Bryan can be' denominated "scattering." There will be a distinct gain here for Bryan. Many of-the commercial travellers voted for McKinley in 1896. Few in deed of .them will do so at the coming election. There will be a gain among them for Bryan. In the last election a very large pro portion of the prohibitionists voted for McKinley. Now ho has no more bitter opponents in all the land. This time they will vote for their own can didate, which will be a loss of just so many votes for McKinley. The fusionists think that all these defections from the republican party, without any known defections from Bryan, :s a sound basis for their be lief that Bryan will be elected: The hope of the republican party is in enormous campaign funds, of, how many millions no one but Mark Han na knows. With that campaign fund, aside from the other uses to which it can be put, they cjin hate one or two men in every voting, ; precinct, into whose hands . there will be placed the name of every' voter and his politics. If one of their voters is careless or in-iiffert-nt, they .will see to it that a con veyance is-sent for him -and he is brought to the polls They will vote every man in the United States whom they can induce to support McKinley. There will be no 'stay-at-home repub lican voters. On the fact that neither the democratic or populist party have money to spead to get out voters or for many other things that seem nec essary in a campaign, the republicans tase their hopes. Who will prove to be the prophets? KXGL.ISH TRUSTS. The State Journal still insists that there are as many trusts in England as there are in America. The truth is that there is not one trust in the whole United Kingdom that can control prices or limit production. It cites the English steel combine that went to pieces the other day and concludes that the trusts in America will go to pieces in like manner. The English steel combine to regulate prices went to pieces because the manufacturers said that if they did not lower prices the American manufacturers would come in and take the trade. But the English manufacturers cannot come Into our market because of the high protective tariff. The American trust stands and the English attempt fails. "All on account of the tariff." Take off the tariff on steel and the American trust will be annihilated. The thread trust has just declared a dividend of fifty per cent on its stock. It is an English concern doing busi ness in both England and America. It charges the American consumer 43 per cent more for thread than it charges the English. That is "all on account of the tariff" also. In England there are twenty-four other thread concerns with which it must compete. In Am erica there are none. Those twenty four other thread concerns would soon burst up the trust in this country If they did not have to pay a high tariff before they could compete. Stop the rebates on railroads and take off the tariff and every trust with exception of four or five would dissolve within six months. The" republicans are trying to make something out cf whet they call "a tie-up between Bryan and Croker." Brycn i- the on!y one who was over able to Iring -ammany to his feov The reatest triumph of i s cu.. -er was when Tammany came to Kansas City and in spite of what Hill or any one eise could do, humbly submitted. T. tiger was so meek that Bryan led it around with a silken string. When Bryan tied that string around the Tammany tiger's neck, It was the only tie-up that was ever made. It has followed Bryan's lead ever since as Weekly as Mary's little lamb. . BEPUBtlCAXS QUIT. The Independent , don't believe in betting: It is a vice which this writer never indulged in. ; ' He wouldn't bet unless he had a sure thing and even among sporting men that is called dis honorable. As he wouldn't do a thing thateven the sports would call dis honorable, he don't bet at all. Sec tion 6886 of the revised statutes makes betting on elections a crime punisha ble by a fine.;. Taking all these things In connection, the way of the honest pop since the republicans began the big game of bluff,; has been ; full of provocations. Lincoln, since the or ders were issued to bluff, has been made unendurable to decent men by these bluffers. Their degenerate press has been full of notices of money by the thousand dollars , ready . to be staked on McKinley and that neither Bryan nor Poynter would carry Ne braska. That was exceedingly irri tating. , - ; . One day this week an old pop re ceived flQO in payment of a debt long due and he , let his angry, passions so rise which was very wrong that he started to place the . money on Bryan and Poynter. He made inquiries where the McKinley money, was to be found. He was referred to Bud Lindsay's place and went there, which was much against his principles. When he got there, he was told that the McKinley money was at some other republican dive. For the first: time in his life he visited every dive in the city, for ev ery time he got to one, he was assured that there was plenty of McKinley money at some other place. He was red hot mad and kept it up until he had ransacked all the low and dis reputable places where republicans most do congregate, and not a dollar of republican money to be bet on Mc Kinley could be found in the whole city. The next morning he showed the editor of The Independent that $100. It was in bills and he carried it loose in his right hand pants pocket. The Independent has a letter from New York city giving the experience of a man there that resulted in the 3ame way. The republicans have played their game of bluff. It has been called and they threw up their hands. Perhaps they may try to keep it up in the country districts, but in Lincoln they have quit. HOW MUCH PTltiOTlvSl ....... . A patriot is bn6who;is.zMtIous for his country's ihterestar-rone , who. is. willing to make sacrifices for his coun try's welfare.. How many have we in Nebraska?. How, many in the fusion ranks? ,Who will. give just one day to save the Declaration of Indepen dence? -The patriots of the revolution fought and suffered for - seven long years to make it the fundamental prin ciple upon which this government was founded. Have you: patriotism enough to devote one day to saving it to be the hope of generations yet to come? Will you lay aside the struggle for money for just one -day? The fusion forces have no money to hire men to go to the polls or teams to bring care less voters. Will you take your team and go early to the polls and put your self in service for one day in the bat- tie against imperialism, great stand ing armies and the absorption of all industries by the trusts? Have you that much patriotism? Or are you like a dumb,: driven slave willing to toil on for the masters who have set your task for you for all the years to come? It appears that republicans every where are all tarred with the same stick,. .Now here is Ellis II. Roberts, treasurer of the United States, for whom there is a warrant issued in New York and if he is caught in that state he will be slapped in Ludlow street jail for hypothecating $21,147.76 of bonds belonging to his sister, Mrs. Brooks, and refusing to turn them over when ordered to dc so by the court. He acknowledges that he has the bonds, but says " he put them in pawn for security. Lawyer James E. Torrence, who is Mrs. Brooks' attor ney, said that his client had been very badly treated, had been rendered pen niless and dependent upon relatives for support in her old age and Treas urer Roberts would certainly be land ed in jail if he came within the juris diction of the state. That is keeping up the administration record in fine style. Rathbone Neeley and Roberts. That Is a good three for Mark Hanna to draw to. . ? POYNTER AND DIETRICH. A comparison of the. manner in which the candidates for governor have conducted their ; campaigns is enough to bring any self-respecting voter to a conclusion as to whom he will support. There has never been a campaign made in this state in a more gentlemanly way than that conducted by Governor Poynter. He has been on the stump where he has met the voters face to face and ably and eloquently discussed the issues. His conduct ev erywhere and all the time has been that -of the Christian gentleman. But Dietrich! Where has he been all the time? As:far as The Indepen dent knows, he has not attempted to make a speech during the whole cam paign and he has sought the compan ionship of the lowest and vilest men in both parties. In ; innumerable in stances it has been reported in the country papers that when he came to town, the first . place that he sought was come saloon where he was hale fellow well, met with every drunken loafer who would come up to the bar and take a drink at his expense. Ne braska never saw a gubernatorial cam paign carried on in that way before and it la to be hoped that it never will again. ' The campaign that he has con ducted is enough disgrace for this state to .bear without having him at the state house and at the head of all our eharitable and penal institutions for two yearsV If such . a disaster should happen, we would have an ad ministration by which the reign of Bartley and'Mosher would stand out as a Moody revival in comparison with it. : . . ' . -: Dietrich's r private character and the campaign ' he has f conducted have so disgusted decent republicans that hun dreds of them have declared that they will not vote for him, which will to some extent at least offset 'the slum voters of all parties who find in him a man after their own hearts. - ;IROTESTA3TT POPES. This campaign has developed a lot of protestant popes who issue bulls with all the dogmatic authority that was ever assumed by a pope of Rome. Bishop Fowler has issued one or two bulls in which he, as the vicegerent of God, declares that imperialism is the will of God and it Is impossible for man to fight successfully against it That settles it. It any man denies tha Bishop Fowler has a right to declare the will of God to the benighted men who still believe in the Declaration of Independence he is heretic and ought to be burned at the stake. Protestant popes are more arrogant than ever ex isted before. Pope Lyman Abbott de clares that the only just government is not one of consent, but one according to the laws of God. i When it comes to declaring what are the laws of God, he wants to reserve that right to himself and his fellow protestant popes. These latter day,- Mark Hanna, protestant popes these republican vicegerents of God who declare to us without er rancy the divine will, are the latest development of modern Christianity that shoots religion into the heathen with Krag rifles and Gatling guns: How do you like them? IT TICKLES A- If there is anything that tickles a mullet head more than another it is the chance to pay twice as much for the goods that he buys of a trust a3 the trust sells the same goods to a foreigner. ... That so elates him that he will leave his work and go ana march for hours carrying a smoky, greasy torch, he will shell out to pay cam paign expenses, he will shout till his voice is gone and he will vote early and often to keep the trusts in power. The gold standard, New York Com mercial, and an ardent supporter Of McKinley tells how much more ihe mullet head pays for nails than the petted foreigner gets them for. In its commercial column this statement is found: "Last year there were manufactured 7,599,522 kegs of nails at an average price of $2.57 to the domestic buyer. In the meantime 752,781 kegs were ex ported at about $1.40 per keg. The American customer of the steel wire nail makers paid about $17,596,124.37 for the balance of the manufactured nails, or about 6,846,741 kegs. Had the American consumer been privileged to buy at the quotations granted the for eign buyer the American would have saved about $8,010,686.97 on his pur chase." The Independent believes in mak ing everybody happy as far as it can and it publishes this statement to that, the mullet heads can have a whole day of rejoicing. . The Independent has received xsix pages of manuscript containing twenty-two questions fired at Adlai Steven son, which are intended to make an argument in favor of McKinley's treat ment of the Boer, question. The ques tions show such a profound ignorance of ' international law, of the Monroe doctrine, and the'positlon of the dem ocratic party as. expressed in its na tional platform, that The Independent is simply astonished that a man who can write good English should have asked them. . We protect the South American republics and this whole hemisphere from European aggression by simply saying to the world that any attempt of the powers ,to annex any of the territory of any -of these governments will be looked upon by the United States as an unfriendly act toward this government. That is the Monroe doctrine and it has been suf ficient for many decades to stay the hands of the imperialists of Europe. In regard to' the Boers we have said that McKinley should have preserved ab solute neutrality and at the same time have expressed sympathy for those re publics as we always have done in similar cases, as for instance In the case of Greece and Hungary. Neither of these things did McKinley do. The republican platlorm says that: "No single fact can more strikingly tell of 'what republican government imeans to the country than this that NAPOLEON M'KINLEY AND THE HAND THAT GUIDES. HIM IN ; . : THE PATH OF EMPIRE. : " during the whole period of 107 years from 1790 to 1897, there was an excess of exports over imports of only $3S3, 028,497, there has been in the . short three years of the present administra tion an excess of exports over imports in the enormous sum of $1,483,537,094." And the republican party undertook to make that a claim for further lease of power, but as soon as .they found" out that they could not make even a mullet head believe that this nation could get rich by shipping out more wealth than was shipped (in, they dropped it like a hot potato. The tribute paid the trusts is paid by the poor. The trust despotism . is the most fearful despotism the world has ever knowni. No autocrat who ever lived has ever exercised the power of a trust. What one would have dared to issue a ucase to tax the people $5, 000,000 to be piled up in his own cof fers? That is what the sugar trust did the other day. It, by its own arbi trary power and authority, raised the price tf sugar. Nine-tenths of that $5, 000,000 will be paid by the' poor: What autocrat who ever lived would have dared to do such a thing? This is the sixth time that the sugar trust " has raised the price of sugar during the last year. All the trusts have the pow- er to thus tax the poor. Is it safe to put the power to tax for their own sel fish purposes ; in the hands of a few greedy gold grabbers? Some millions of mullet heads will vote to do that thing on the sixth of November. We are engaged in a battle against the greatest odds that the common people ever waged since government by the consent of the people was first tried. See what we have against us. The money power long ago captured and subsidized all the great universi ties. They own, control or subsidize nine-tenths of the daily papers in the United States. Nearly every magazine in the United States bears the McKin-ley-Mark Hanna brand. The banks have been subsidized with hundreds of millions and are "fighting night and day against Bryan. The great trusts are McKinley's own creations and all the power that they can exercise is en listed in his aid. The great railroad corporations are using all the means in their power to re-elect him. Against that, we have only the eloquence of Bryan and the love of liberty in the breasts of the great common people. Though the odds against us are great, we believe in the people and that they will win. There was never a greater infamy perpetrated upon the secret ballot sys tem and the American voter, than that law that permits election officers to ask voters to what party they belong. An absolutely secret ballot i3 the only salvation of this nation and this law is an assault upon that principle. It is true that the voter need not answer unless he wants to, but the very re fusal to answer may work him- ir repairable injury. In many instances it is a temptation to commit perjury. It is after, the same plan of the yel low ribbon business of four, years ago. When the votes were counted here in Lincoln the republicans were astound ed. There. were not nearly, as many republican votes as there were yellow ribbons. The State Journal denounced" the men as cowards and sneaks. At one of the polling places in this citjr a voter was asked what party he - be longed to and he. replied: "I am . an old abolitionist Abraham Lincoln re publican and have never changed my; principles." They put him down as a pop. - A conspicuously large McKinley pic ture has been displayed for some time just opposite the Bryan residence in Lincoln. . Some remarks have , been made about it. It turns out that it is the residence of C. I. Jones who runs a section of the Cracker trust. It is very appropriate. We are glad it is there, ' HARDY'S COLUMN Solid East Hoofs and Horns Money Bryan Republican Round Trip Passes Gone Over Full A Repub lican Setback Our County Taxes Students Deceit no Crime Bryan's Method Trying to Fool Voters Bribery Rampant The Lord's Work Consent of Governed. Talk about a solid south. Is it any more dangerous than a solid east ? Boss Croker wears hoofs and horns jjow, ; but four years ago, when he was at work for McKInley, he was as sweet as a peach. There are no two men in the country nearer alike than Cioker and Hanna, and Thompson is off the same piece. "We'll fetch 'em," said a prominent republican on the streets of. Lincoln, "for we've got the money to do it with." We asked a neighbor yesterday how he happened to register that he af filiated with the republican party. His answer was, "I work for a republican, but I , am a, Bryan republican. When the ballots are counted It will 'be found there are lots of Bryan repub licans, just as It was four years ago. The republicans have already com menced to send round trip tickets to men who ohce lived .in .Nebraska to. come home and vote. The papers tell us that Matt Gerin? of Plattsmouth have gone over to tlie republicans, whisky and all. . Tlu-rc J.c. where he should be. He will be a pool candidate for congress with them next time. lie has tried three times with the Bryan party, but his whisky has defeated him. What a setback Nebraska has got. her two largest cities lost in popula tion in ten years, one 15,000 and the other 38,000, or else we must acknowl edge the disgrace of having a republi can census stuff er in 1890. Why do they not bring Tom Cook, home to help stuff the ballot boxes this fall? We heard great boasting over the collection of delinquent taxes by out last republican county treasurer, but it appears he only yanked up the Bry an men. . But now under our present treasurer the republicans are bping brought to time. Thus we see the-ad-vantage of changing party rule. We would save thousands of dollars if we had one county commissioner from th' other, party. Every taxpayer who has the interest of Lancaster county - at heart will' vote for A. E. Sutherland for county commissioner next Tues day. It is reported and it would be noth ing new that the republicans of Lin coln are. urging the students to reg ister and vote here early in the morn ing and. then go home and vote again before night. Working on that line may give us a few more leading repub licans in our penitentiary. Threats are being made by employ ers that they will discharge every man who votes ior Bryan. We advise men who have been threatened to go in. shout for McKInley, wear McKinley badges, but when you come to the bal- lot box vote a3 you are a mind to. You are justified in deceiving your bosp when he undertakes to rob you of your vote. To deceive and mislead a robber or a thief is like covering up a steel trap to catch a skunk in your hencoop. Four years ao Bryan had to fight the gold bug crowd almost single handed and he adopted the special train method, the first thing of the kind ever heard of. Now several uf the parties have adopted the samo, method. The republicans get their money by the barrel from the trust and bankers, but Bryan collects, "or his friends collect, his expense money on the road where he travels and holds meetings. The republicans ridicule that method. Their speakers leav money to buy votes "With instead of collecting for running expenses. Just now hundreds of great. : enter prises are all ready to start juat as soon as McKinley is elected. Million dollar factories on every corner will go ahead the next day, but if Bryan is elected every one now built will be torn down and the working men will have to go into the woods and live on snakes and toads. There may be some fools who believe the story. We have no use for such timber in the Bryan party.. They fool and intimidate lots of factory men that way four years ago., but they can't do it again. Yes. a dozen great factories are just readv to locate in every little village if only McKinley is elected. Dealers are send- -4 V
