Explaiatioa of table: No. 1. yeats;
Nu. 7, barrel of Cour exported; No. 3,
price received by the American farmer
at the seaboard: No. 4. price paid by
the Mexican ia hi money at the sea
bcrard is this country; No. 5. price
that the Mexican would have had to
pay ia his mony at our ports per bar
rel if the Ataericaa farmer had re
ceived what he should have received.
If the reader will make a study of
tolaisn No. 3 he will see that under no
rircsrastance could the Mexican pay
enough ia his money so that oar farm
ers cosld get as much as they should
have. The table that I hav used In
all of ray articles are taVen from fa
cial reports of the United States treas
ury department and are true and correct-
As these tables are live object
Wsons. the reader should study them
c losely.
The real thing that the American
farmer wants to know Is just what
caused the fall In the export price of
the barrel of flCKir as shown in the
tsbie from in 173 to $3.70 in
150t. Then they want to know if the
price is likely fall any more. Then
as $3.70 pr barrel is cot more than
half as much as the American farmer
bould be getting for his Cour at the
aboard in this country, they want to
1c cow how to raise the price to a
point where it will return to them
a fair remunTation for their labor.
TTe above price of $3.70 for Sour will
not ciake the price of wheat In Ne
brcrka &ore than 30 cents per busheL
The reader must not think that there
is any mystery about the rise and fall
of price. All changes in prices ar
produced by some force. I class the
forces ia a general way tinder three
heads. Natural forces, artificial forces
and fore produced by legislation.
Natural forces are such as overpro
duction, volume of money, cost of
transportation, wars and famine, com
petition and cost of production. Arti
ficial forces are such as "corners,"
trusts, combines and monopolies. Leg
islative forces are such as tariffs, pat
ents and taxes of all kinds.
Above I have mentioned nearly all
the forces that control domestic and
export prices. Ia all of my articles in
connection with exrort tables I take
into consideration nothing but ex
port prices. The , decline in the ex
port price of the barrel of flour is
what caused the decline in the export
price of the bushel of wheat. As ev
ery farmer knows that the export
price of the bushel of wheat controls
the domestic price, i' have only to
show Just what caused the decline in
the export price of the barrel of flour
to show just what caused the decline
In the domestic selling price of the
bushel of wheat.
In order to explain the table I must
find the force that caused the decline
In the export prfce of the barrel of
flour from $7.51 in 1873, to $3.70 In
1S0L. Owing to the fact that the pub
lic mind has been and Is so saturated
with political prejudices and that
nearly every fellow has ideas and
opinions different from every other
fellow, I have to line up some of the
old theories and arguments with the
table and thereby prove conclusively
that they did not cause the decline.
By so doing I clear away the rubish
and lay a foundation to prove just
what did cause the decline. The prin
cipal theory and argument that mil
lions of people have put forth for the
last thirty years as a cause of the de
cline In the price of farm products has
been overproduction. .In this case it
would mean an overproduction of flour
ia the world. I will line up the over
production theory and argument and
see where we will come out. If there
was overproduction of flour in the
world during 1901, as compared
with 1S73, the consumer of flour in
Mexico would buy their flour for less
money during 1901 than they did dur
ing 1S73. This proposition is and
must be true. By examining the ta
ble we find In column No. 4. at the
top, that the Mexican paid $7.51 in his
money for a barrel of flour at the sea
board In this country. At the bottom
of No. 4 the reader will see that the
Mexican paid $7.75 for a barrel of flour
at the seaboard. The Mexican paid 24
cents more for a barrel of flour in 1901
than he did in 1S73. Where is the man
with this table before him who would
attempt to argue that it was overpro
duction of flour in the world that sent
the price down from $7.51 in 1873, to
$3.70 in 1901. It is simply disgusting
to think of such a proposition with
such facts before us.
The next theory and argument that
millions of people have been claiming
caused the decline in farm products
for the last thirty years was the quan
tity of money. By placing this theory
by the side of the table, what do we
fnd? In 1873 there was about $17 per
capita of money in this country, and
In 1901 there was about $26 per capita.
This being the case the price of the
barrel of flour should have advanced
In price from $7.51 in 1S73 instead of
declining to $3.70 in 1901. It is utter
nonsense and folly to attempt to show
that the quantity of money, either
great or small, had anything to do
with the fall, in the export price of the
barrel of flour from $7.51 in 1873 to
$3.70 In 1901. The overproduction
theory and the quantity of money
theory has practically controlled dur
ing the last 30 years the prices of farm
products which are not exported in
such quantities as for the export price
to control the domestic price, but have
not in the least had anything to do in
the way of controlling the export price.
Now as to Just what caused the de
cline in the export price. The Mexican
bought his flour ia 1873, not with his
dolLr as his dollar, but with the com
mercial value of the material in his
dollar, which was worth a little more
than 100 cents In 1873. In 1901 the
Mexican bought the flour with the
commercial value of the material in
his dollar, which was worth only about
45 cents. The reader can see at once
just what caused the decline in the
price of the flour. The purchasing
power of the Mexican dollar decline
55 cents. The condition of the Mexican
was and Is such, that he could not nor
would not. stand that decline of 55
cents in his dollar. He forced the
American farmer to sell him as much
flour for his 45-cent dollar in 1901 as
he purchased with his 100-cent dollar
In 1873. The average Mexican earns
25 cents per day In his money. Any
one can see that he cannot pay more

than seven or eight , dollars of his
money for a barrel of flour at our
ports. The seven or eight dollars of
the Mexican's money- would net the
American farmer about $3.70 In his
money.
The force that caused the decline in
the export price of the barrel of flour
from $7.51 to $3.70 was created by the
force produced by the decline in the
selling price of the material in the
Mexican dollar from 100 cents in 1873,
to 45 cents in 1901, and if the selling
price of the material in the Mexican
dollar continues to fall below 45 cents
the American farmer must stand the
fall, not the Mexican. The American
farmers have got to face this problem
and solve it and there is only one way
to solve it! That is to place the 45
cent dollar back to where it was in
1873 to 100 cents. There is only just
one way to restore this 45-cent dollar
back to a 100-cent dollar and that is
to place the commercial value of the
ounce of silver at $1.29, which the
American farmers can very easily do
if they want to. The Mexican has not
been the sufferer by the falling down
from 100 cents to 45 cents of this dol
lar. No, it is the American farmers
that have suffered the whole fall and
will continue to suffer if the fall con
tinues. C. G. BULOCK.
CANALS AND CONSOLIDATION
The Interest of the General Public in
the Omaha and Fremont Canal
Proposition and in the
COALITION OF ELECTRIC INTERESTS
Is No Longer at a White Heat, and
the -People of Eastern Nebraska
Can Think of Something Else.
The above headlines state practically
all that is known to the public at
present concerning the grand scheme
for a power canal coupled with a gi
gantic electric consolidation at Omaha,
The two ideas are not dead. They will
probably materialize in due season.
Meantime the people are busy with
their own affairs and everybody is con
veniently engaged in the more or less
profitable duties of his ordinary voca
tion. TIME IS MONEY NOW.
These days of general prosperity
make a man's time more than usually
valuable. He spares as little as possi
ble for the public good. It should not
be forgotten, however, that in these
times when profits are sure and accu
mulations are possible, men should be
making provision for old age and for
financial disaster. If the people of Ne
braska will keep their surplus in the
state for ten years, a panic cannot
paralyze her industries and she will
not be driven to bankruptcy because
eastern money loaners are refusing to
renew mortgages or to advance funds
for legitimate business purposes.
$1,500,000 A FRIGHTFUL LEAK.
It takes no great business head. to
see that a leak representing $1,500,000
per annum must sap the life blood of
the commerce of any community. This
is the enormous price annually paid
alien life insurance companies by the
policy holders of Nebraska whose ben
eficiaries receive back only about
$300,000 per annum. For the purpose of
stopping this disastrous drain upon
the resources of our state, and with
the intention of building up in Ne
braska a great financial fiduciary en
terprise B. H. ROBISON, PRESIDENT
of the Bankers Reserve Life Asso
ciation and his associates organized
the Bankers Reserve Life upon mod
ern plans and in accord with the best
ideas on the subject of life insurance.
They have steadfastly held to their
original purpose. The association has
enjoyed a phenomenal growth and to
day there is no life insurance company
in the state doing as much business
or so favorably well known as Ne
braska's own company, the
BANKERS RESERVE LIFE.
Omaha is headquarters. The Mc
Cague block is the home office- The
people of the state are its friends. Its
advisory board contains the names of
about all the leading men who are
Insurable in the state of Nebraska.
The association pays taxes in Nebras
ka, invests its surplus in Nebraska,
and deposits its securities with the
Nebraska Insurance department. It ta
a home company in every sense.

THE ELECTIONS
All th Stmtee Stay Right Where Tfey
Were Bfere The Repablicane
Cavrry Stebraaka
So little attention was paid to the
lrt1nn thut pvpti at this writine.
Thnrsdav m rrn i n e onl v estimates of
the vote can be given in this state. It
is, however, conceded that the repub
licans have carried the state; electing
a member of the sunreme court and
the two regents. It appears that , the
republicans polled a much larger per
cpnt of thpir vote than the fusion
forces did, a thing that is very easily
accounted for and which will be dis
cussed next -week. In Lancaster coun
ty the republicans seem to have elected
their whole ticket, although two of
their candidates got in by a scratch.
In Douglas county the fusionists elect
ed nearly their whole ticket, but the
county went by a large majority for
the republicans on the state ticKet.
' In Ohio the republicans carried the
Rtntf hr an immpnsA maioritv. the
largest except in two instances that
the party ever had. It is to be nopea
now that McLean and his crowd of
gold bugs will be satisfied and retire
from politics. In Cleveland, MarK
Hanna's city, however, there was a
frreat fallinsr off in the republican
vote, live questions being brought to
the front by Tom Johnson.
The republicans seem to be driven
out of Kentucky and the state legis
lature will send a democrat to the
United States senate in the place of
the republican now holding the seat.
In New York city the fusion forces
won and Croker has resigned the lea
dership of Tammany.
In Pennsylvania the fusion forces
put up a big fight against the Quay
machine corruption, but did not win
out, as they did not have the influence
of all the creat dailies of the whole
country to back them as the fusion
forces did in New ork City, mis
corruption in Pennsylvania is just as
vile and destructive as that in New
York, but it was republican, while
Croker was sailing under the demo
cratic name.
Gorman has carried Maryland and
will be returned to the United States
senate, by which the republicans lose
another senator, for Wellington is a
republican except on the question of
imperialism. However, Gorman is not
a much, better democrat than Well
ington is a republican.
Iowa, of . course, went republican;
nobody seems to have put up any op
position. Since the populist party has
been destroyed over there by division
and the middle-of-the-road business,
there seems to be no one with, any
fight left, in them.
In Massachusetts there have been
great gains made against the republi
cans. The democrats there fought
on a oorralist olatform containing the
public ownership planks and others of
a similar nature.
Th snmmine uo of the whole busi
ness Is: The states stay as they were
at the last election and the republi
cans have lost two United btates seaa
tors.
The ether thing that will attract
notice is that where the people are
robbed and oppressed by a corrupt po
litical machine, if the machine runs
under the democratic name, the Asso
ciated press: and all the great dailies
in the United States will unite in aid
ing to overthrow it. If it runs under
the republican name, as yuay s ma
chine does in Philadelphia and the
whole state of Pennsylvania, the peo
ple will have to fight the battle alone.
They will get no aid from the Asso
ciated press and the great plutocratic
dailies whatever.
Up Against it
When the simple tiller of the soil
realizes that he must pay the price
fixed by the plow trust for a plow
and can obtain only the price fixed by
the grain trust for his grain he may
begin to think. The simple tiller of
the soil is now up against just such a
proposition. He should be able to un
derstand it without the aid of a dia
gram. Chicago. Standard Opinion.
WHERE WAS McLEAN?
The Fight ia Maryland a Personal On
Fusion la the East Endorsed by Republicans
Editor Independent: Just upon the
eve of the election in many states,
Washington is somewhat dull. It is
naturally a very cosmopolitan city.
and the thousands of government
clerks of all parties are keeping
"mum" as to the prospects in each
state. Perhaps the election about
which most interest hinges, is the
fight in New York city between the
Tammanyites and the fusion forces
Justice Jerome's break has put Piatt
in a pretty queer light Piatt has said
Jerome was either "drunk or crazy,
yet he will support him with all vig
or. There are quite a number of
Washir.gtonians in this fight on both
sides of the question. Henry Br. Mar
tin, national secretary of the Ameri
can anti-trust league, is there in the
interests of Low, fighting Shepard,
whom he claims is the attorney of the
Standard Oil Co. From the point of
vantage, the fight appears to be a hard
one with the chances favoring the fu
sion nominee. Strange thing that fu
sion is an "insane" idea when honest
democrats and "pops" fuse; but in the
interests of reform, when republicans
fuse it is "to secure good rendered
necessary."
Next, perhaps, we are led into the
arena of Ohio politics, where the fight
appears also to be close. The subject
that seems to be discussed mostly in
connection with this fight is the ab
sence of John R. McLean. "Where is

i
McLean?" and the answer usually
comes "Sulking until you win." This
is undoubtedly the truth. John R.
McLean is a Washingtonian pure and
simple. His interests are not at all
in Ohio not, at least, until there is
something in it for John R. He is a
capitalist and is entirely out of har
mony with the democratic party at
least, until it wins.
Next, strange as it may seem, we
are keeping our eyes open as to Ne
braska, where Colonel Bryan is taking
an active part. And let me say that
the eyes of every one interested at all
in politics are turned toward the
Platte, There may be some of our
political opponents and discontented
democrats who are shouting from the
house-top for "reorganization with
the cry that Bryan is politically dead.
This is not, I am glad to say, at all
prevalent among the men who were
true to him in the last campaign. We
all recognize Colonel Bryan to be still
"the peerless leader" we recognize
that the truths he uttered in 96 and
1900 are just as potent, if not more
so, today as they were then. When
the democratic party violates its oath
to the masses, when it casts over the
"masses" for the "classes," then will
Colonel Bryan not be its leader. But
today, democracy, battling for right,
must have a leader as pure as its
cause and that leader the democrats
of the east, as well as , our western
democrats and their. brother populists
believe to be Bryan. .So we are nat
urally interested in how the "coin
turns" in your state. But with na
tional as well as state, jou are dou
bly blessed.
Back into the east to Maryland.
There a legislature is to be elected to
choose a successor to Senator Well
ington. The issues have narrowed
down to personality and the negro
question. How the new ballot system
will operate is the question. The re
publicans have gathered the negroes
into barns, etc, and have taught them
enough to read the ballot. The. demo
crats have not acted likewise with the
illiterate whites, of whom there, are
many. But I said the issue was to a
large extent "personality." On the
republican side of the fence, they are
boosting Sidney E. Mudd for the sen
ate. Mudd's record would compare
favorably with a blackboard what
ever is white in him wont show
through. The democrats are going to
support Gorman. Arthur Pue Gor
man, the man who many believe
knifed Bryan in both campaigns. Mark
me, thousands of ballots will be split.
I have talked to many good Maryland
democrats who are either going to
stay away from the polls, or are. going
to knife the democratic legislative
candidates. When you ask "Why,"
you will be answered that "Gorman
didn't do right by Bryan" and per
haps there is some ground for thinking
so. The chances, however, appear to
be favorable to the democrats. These
appear to be the only elections that
are causing talk and the issue is some
what personal in each case.
Word has just reached Washington
that Minister Wu Ting Fang is to be
ordered-home and given a post-of
minor importance. He don't deserve
it. He has done more to make China
respected in this country than we
have ever seen done before. However,
they must think over there he has
taken up too much with the party
here, . which has imbroigled us in the
"eastern question." We have a good
opinion of Wu.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British
ambassador, has just returned, bring
ing with him the. text of a new pro
posed treaty, which will abrogate the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty. This one un
doubtedly is acceptable to our "Anglo
maniac" secretary of state as it is the
design of Lord Lansdowne. America
can expect little advantage. Jefferson
said, "England will never be our
friend, until we are her master," and
any treaty to which the English cabi
net has agreed means a "quid pro quo." J
This is Sampson week at the Schley
trial and we can expect to hear the
hero of Santiago, maligned as Is pos
sible only to such an archmalisaer of
the truth as the fat Lemly.

FORGOT HER PART.
From the London Spare Moments: A
well-known countess was announced
to speak at a costers gathering in th3
East End recently, so the little daugh
ter of one of the costers a flower sell
er was deputed to present the count
ess on her arrival with a beautiful bou
quet. The evening arrived, with an enthu
siastic audience In the hall, and pres
ently the countess was announced.
The little girl, who had been coache.l
as to what to say, walked along tha
platform to where her ladyship stood,
and in her confusion convulsed every
one with laughter by shouting out:

The mermaid who had always con
