Hurrah for Dietrichs au<l reform
of the geoiiine brand.
The Democrats put 10 to 1 into
their platform and now they are
wondering how to keep the pesky
thing quiet.
Dietrich buttons seems to be the
fashion in this neck of the wood?.
The influence of a good man when
nominated penmates the atmosphere
in every direction.
Death stares the foreign ministers
in the face at I'ekiu. From present
indications it is hardly possible that
the Allied forces can reach the
Chinese capital in lime to save
them.
It takes Governor Poynter from
C months to a year to get a fusion
ist out of otlice after he tells him to
quit. They all think they are born
leaders and never let go until they
have to.
Populists, socialists and anar
chists are ists that venerate democ
racy as their ligitimate parent. They
won’t acknowledge it, but they all
cry “reform" in one chord ano look
out for spoils.
The average voter in Nebraska bas,
or is, fast concluding that tne boast
of “reform” by democracy is only
tbe old scheme to capline an ollice.
Fusion bas been their only hope in
the past but their disgraceful scram
ble after ollice and tbe flagrant a
buse of them after election bas con
vinced tbe rank aud tile that “re
form” is only a subterfuge for elec
tion.
C. H. Dietrlcb, Republican nomi
nee for governor is a seif made mar.
He is of the staid oi l German stock
and was born in Chicago, III , 48
years ago, of poor but honest par
ents. He is a man whom bis party
needs to make no excuses for. He
lias roughed it most of his life, at
one time driving team between Sid
ney and Dead wood. By frugal liv
ing and strict economy be bas ac
quired a comfortable fortune which
allows him to live at ease as be turns
tbe shady side of life. His record
is beyond suspisiou, bis ability un
questioned, bis love of country ex
emplitled by his acts and his elec
tion sure.

Why tlio Prices of Farm Products Have
Advanced and Why the Hepab
llcau Party Claims Credit.
Omaha, Ang. 6.—Viewed from a Ite
pnblican standpoint, tlio campaign in
Nebraska is progroesing nicely. Chair
man Lindsay has tho machinery in
splendid working order and is doing
some very effective work.
Thus far the work has been largely
preparatory, preparations being made
for a vigorous educational campaign,
beginning at an early date and continu
ing to the close.
Additions to tho list of speakers are
being made daily and when completed
it will contain the names of some of tho
most eloquent anti forceful speakers in
the nation.
Tho Farmer** Vote.
Republican leaders, generally, are
hopeful of receiving a very large vote
from the patrons of husbandry. It i.; a
matter patent to everybody that tho
farmers of Nebraska have been prosper
ous to a degree never before attained,
during the last four years under Presi
dent McKinley. They have had good
prices for their crops and the yield has
been large. Both of these are essential
to prosperity on tlie farm. Moro mort
gages and debts have boon paid off,
more homes have been purchased, moro
farm improvements have been mane
and better times generally have pre
vailed in Nebraska the last four years,
than for any other four years in tho
history of the state.
( huio of Csoori I'ridea,
The Republican party claims, and
rightfully, too, the credit for prosperity.
It accomplished this in several ways,
the principal causes being in furnishing
employment to American labor at in
creased wages, and in building up and
extending American trade in foreign
countries. It is a matter of history that
under Democratic rule free, soup lious< s
bad to be maintained in nearly all the
large cities of the United States to alle
viate suffering and distress among the
working classes. Democratic policies
had closed the factories and workshops
and Libor was sorely distressed through
want of employment. There are moro
than 10,000,000 working people em
ployed in tho workshops and factories
of this country. Many of these were
idle aud those who were not were com
pelled to work at reduced wages. There
was, therefore, a large demand on public
charity, the ultimate outcome of which
was the establishment in tho large cities
of free soup houses.
McKinley s election and the oonse
qneut overthrow of Democratic policies
was followed by a complete transition.
The factories were opened, labor was
given employment ut increased wages,
the soup houses were closed, and tLe
demand and consumption of farm pro
ducts and breadstuff's greatly increased.
under Democracy a largo per cent ot
the laboring classes lived ou free soup.
Under Republicanism laboring people
are liviug on meat, potatoes, canned
goods, breadstuff’s, and in short, aro
well supplied with all the necessaries of
life. Today 10,000,000 laboring people
ou their way home from work stop and
order a pound or two of meat, a supply
of butter, eggs and othor eatables,
whereas four years ago many of these
people boarded at free soup houses and
those who did not lived on scauty ra
tions. This change has greatly in
creased the demand and consumption of
farm products, has increased the price
of farm products, uud has coutributed
largely to thj prosperity of the farmers
of Nebraska' and other agricultural
states.
Under Republicanism new markets
have been opened up lor the produc j
of American labor and of American
farms, with the inevitable result that
the foreigu demand for American pro
ducts has in the last few years been
substantially increased. The increase
iu the price of farm products and in rho
wages of labor in protected industries
lias in the lust four years put into the
pockets of the producers of this country
upwards of (3,000,000,000, mi amount
uliu>£t as large a- lho cost of the civil
war.
It makes u big difference to the farm
ers of tiie United States, in the way of
prices, whether the labor element eon

confirm or deny Jibe statement of his
national chairman, but tlicru is every
roasou to believe that tire statement*
attributed to Chairman Jones distinctly
foreshadow that part of Mr. Bryan’s
foreign policy in tlio event of his elec
tion as president.
Tho blighting effect of such a policy
needs hardly to bo pointed out. It
would disgrace the United State* in the
eyes of all tho civilized nations of tlio
world, for it would put this nation in
the attitude of deserting a post of duty
at a time and iu a way that would re
flect selfishness, ingratitude, and in
ability to discharge the high obligations
imposed by enlightened civilization.
Such a policy would place the United
States in tho role of coward and would
hold this nation up to tho scorn, con
tempt aud humiliation of the world in
general.
All the world knows, and the people
of the United States know, though
Bryan and his advisors may not think
so, that insurrection, not war, prevails
iu tho Philippines. Roving bands of
bandits and savages, not armies, arc
going about tho islands perpetrating
murder, robbery and other high crimes.
The world at largo is holding the em
pire of China to blame for tlio cruel
murders and outrages perpetrated by
the "Boxers.”
The United States holds tho same po
sition to the people of tho Philippine
islands, so far as maintaining law an l
order is concerned, as the government
of China to its people, and tlio murder
ous Boxers of China are to the law-abid
ing people of China what Agninaldo
and his followers aro to tho law-abid
ing, peaceful populace of the Philippines.
The peopie of tlio Philippines may be
capable of self government, but contin
uous strife ami warfare have impover
ished these people, tho islands are
preyed upon by roving bands of savages,
and it is beyond tlie ability of these peo
ple, without tlio aid of the United
States, to restore domestic tranquillity
or form a government of their own.
The treaty of Paris, voted for by Sena
tor Allen of Nebraska and advocated at
that time by Bryan, placed the Philip
pines under control of the United States
and the United States is morally bound
to establish peace and domestic tranquil
lity in these islands at the earliest pos
sime moment, t o can tno troops homo
while tho people of tho islands are still
being terrorized and shocked by tl.
wholesale commission of atrocious
crimes would be to commit u crime
against humanity and one that would
forever remain a stigma on American
citizenship and patriotism.
Apart from tho commercial import
ance of retaining the Philippines it h
the highest duty of tho United States
to prosecute conquest uutil insurrec
tion, robbery aud discord shall bo sup
pressed olid tho safety of tho lives and
property of tho law-abiding people of
the islands established.
There are a large number of Ameri
cans, Germans, French, Scandinavians,
and people of other civilized nations in
the islands, besides a largo number of
natives who are friendly to the Ameri
can people. Would Bryua withdraw th*
troops aud expose alt these people to the
ravages of outlaws, murderers and
thieves? Would he withdraw the troops
and thus gi- o Aguinuhlo license to con
tinue his campaign of rapine and mur
der? Bryan says Aguinaldo is a pa
triot. There were people who said that
of Benedict Arnold, Aaron Burr and
Jefferson I'tvis. Patriots do not bar
ter and sell for money the confidence
and secrets of their country. They <!•>
not conspire to rob and murder a peop j
who in the interest of humanity alot-e
accepted that responsibility and that
duty which iuvolves tho sacrifice of life
and millions of money.
Aguinaldo a patriot! Perish the
thought. History recites that Aguiu
aldo agreed with the Spanish govern
ment to betray his deluded followers
upon the payment of $H00,0()0. History
further recites that after having re
ceived and dissipated the money Aguin
aldo broke faith with Spain. He af
fected to pose as a friend to the United
States, but the diagnostic eye and per
| eeptive mind of Admiral Dewey soon
discovered that he was playing false
and for the purpose of using the United
states to further liis own interests. The
official messages on file at Washington
will show that at no time did Admiral
Dewey impose confidence in the good
faith of Aguinaldo. On tlie coutTtii*,
Aguinaldo’s deportment was such as to
cause Admiral Dewey to mistrust him
from the very start. And yet, with tic
blond of American citizens on his hands
l and with a r -cord stained by atrocious
i crimes, unexampled duplicity and per
i fldy, Bryan Would withdraw the tr*Nip
atid place th • Philippine islands at the
mercv of this monster of iuiipiity.
