OMAHA. Neb., Oct. 1.—If the fusion
lets bad started in their campaign by
destroying the bark tiles of tne news
papers of their party, they niignt have
robbed the republicans of some vain- *
able campaign literature. But they
didn't, and must suffer the conse
quences.
The Omaha World-Herald Is the rec- ,
ognlzed organ ut fusion, not alone 1 a
Nebraska, but in ihe west. The fol
lowing figures taken from the issue j
of the World-Herald of July 10, 1800, I
and July 10, l'JOO, not only serve to
prove a most significant distinguish- i
ment between the prices this year and
those of four years ago. but they show
conclusively that prices have advanced ,
and that the people are much more I
prosperous now than then.
Here are the figures:
July 10, July 10,
1896. 1900.
Cows.$3.00 $4.55
Heifers . 3-60 4.25
Calves . 5.00 6.00

There are 19 artic les enumerated j
above—every one grown on the farm— j
and the aggregate per cent of increase
in price approximates 1,093. Divide
♦his by 19, the number of articles, and ,
you will find that the average in- j
crease In the price of each article is
approximately 57!£ ppr cent.
This Isn't campaign oratory. .1
isn't a mass of confusing figures: it
is simply a compilation showing t'ue
prices the farmers of Nebraska re
ceived for their products under a
democratic and republican administra
tion respectively, as shown by market
quotations published in the Omaha
World-Herald.
An increase of 57!£ per cent. In the
commercial value of a c rop means a
great deal to each individual farmer
in Nebraska. It means a great deal
to the state of Nebraska aud all its
people, for, when the farmers are
prosperous, all lines of industry are
correspondingly stimulated. It means
that the same amount of farm prod
ucts will net the farmer more than
double the amount this year as com
pared with 1896.
This is exactly the difference be
tween republicanism and democracy
as applied to the farmer and the
farming Industry, for today the re
publicans are in power and in 1896 the
democrats were in power.
In the light of such facts it is difti
lult to believe that the democratic
ticket will receive any material sup
port from the farmers of Nebraska.
Since it is proven by these figures
that democratic policies enacted into
law cause a decline in the prise ot
farm products, and that republican
policies' when enacted Into law, causa
an Increase in the price of farm prod
ucts, what more is necessary to con
vince the farmer that it Is to bis in
terest to vote for and uphold the re
publican ticket and party?
"Well,” but Bryan says, “there 13
danger of Imperialism.”
Suppose he does, does that make it
co? He said iu 1896, in his speech a;
Baltimore, that If McKinley was
elected It would mean four more years
of hard times.
The above figures from his own
party organ disprove that assertion,
say nothing of the abundance of evi
dence of prosperity manifest every*
wheie.
And Bryan says. "There is danger
of militarism.”
Suppose he does, does that make it
so? He said in 1S9S mat if McKin
ley was elected the wages of labor and
the prices of farm products would fall
Just as sure as the stone that a

Again the figures from his own
party organ disprove his assertions
say nothing of the purchase of new
homes, the cancellation of farm mort

In 1896 Bryan said the hard times
were "caused by a scarcity of money
I and that the only source of relief was
in the free coinage of silver.”
He#Vas wrong again. The people
discovered the "source of relief"—Wil
liam McKinley and the republican
party. They defeated silver, elected
McKinley and unexampled prosperity
followed.
DEMOCRACY AND TRUSTS.
The real position of the democrats
on the trusts question was shown in
congress last June, when a proposed
constitutional amendment Intended to
prevent, regulate and destroy trust*
was defeated by democratic votes.
The amendment was as follows:
•’Congress shall have power to de
fine, regulate, prohibit or dissolv;
trusts, monopolies or combinations,
whether existing in the form of a cor
poral ion or otherwise. The several
states may continue to exercise such
power in any manner not in conflict
wnh the laws of the United States.’’
This amendment. If incorporated
into the constitution, would no doubt
accomplish the purpose for which P
was intended. Hut it was defeated,
and by democratic votes.
When it came to a vote, requiring
as it did, a two-thirds majority, 154
voted for it and 13- against it. Of the
154 who voted for It 160 were repub
licans. Of the 132 who voted against
It 130 were democrats.
This very clearly defines the att.1
tilde of both parties on tne trust ques
tion. Political parties, as well as in
dividuals:, should be measured, not by
their words, but by their deeds. Thru
rule is founded on apostolic doctrine
and it is a pretty safe one to follow.
Viewed In this light the Hryanltes.
instead of being opposed to trusts, as
they loudly ptociaun, appear to be in
sympathy with them.
'trusts or combinations intended t?
restrict legitimate competition, or
ganized primarily for the purpose >»
arbitrarily fixing and regulating
prices, are necessarily injurious to the
people and should be stamped out.
Hut who is going to do the stamping
out?
Are you going to look to a paruy
that, when it had an opportunity to
provide a remedy, went ovpr hag and
baggage to the enemy—the democratic
party? Are you going to look to a
party that lined up its votes in con
gress in solid phalanx and defeated a
proposed constitutional amendment
intended to crush this evil? Are you
going to do this and desert the repub
lican party, which not only cast ail
but four of the 154 votes east in con
gress for the amendment, but nas
written into the statutes of the United
States every word of law that appears
there against trusts?
HR VAN AN ARiETL DODGER.
W. J. Bryan does not have to go
outside his ow n party to find men who
question both his sincerity and con
sistency on the ’’paramount” issue,
particularly in regard to the Philip
pine:?.
Hon. J. B. Corey of Pittsburg, Pa.,
former democratic candidate for gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, under date o?
September 16, 1900, addressed the loi
lowing letter to Mr. Bryan:
•’Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 15, 1900.
"Hon. W. .1. Bryan, Lincoln, Neb.:
"My Dear Sir—I have not received
any reply to my letter directed to you
at Chicago, asking you if you believed
that the negroes of Cuba, Porto Riio,
Hawaii anil the Philippines, who never
had lived uniter a republican form of

manhood suffrage, are more capable
of self-government than the American
negroes id our southern states who
were born and raised under our re
publican form of government and had

the legislatures of the southern statm
disfranchising our American negroes,
who for one-third of a century have
exercised the right of suffrage auu
insist upon the right of self-govern

It will be observed that Mr. Corey
has written more than one letter on
the subject, but thus far Mr. Bryan
has carefully avoided answering or ex

points out.

WOULD HAVE BAD EFFECT
!n the corner of the reading room
ut the Omaha -Commercial club ye.*
terday threw gentlemen representing
varied interests talked significantly of
the political situation. The conversa
tionalists were U. S. Hayward of the
Williams & Hayward Shoe Co., O. R.
Williams, a tanner well known
throughout Douglas county, and E. A.
Willie, president of the Omaha Press
men's union, and the conversation rau
| ilke this:
Mr. Williams— Mr. Hayward. ;n
your opinion, would the election of
Mr. Bryan have any effect upon the
manufacturing and jobbing interests?
Mr. Hayward—Yes; it would un
doubtedly have a had effect. It would
take us back to the conditions of 1891,
when the stability of our currency
was seriously threatened and money
tightened up. Four years ago, it will
be remembered, manufacturing con
cerns throughout the country were in
a bad way. Some of the mills were
shut down completely and the others
were greatly curtailed In operation.
That condition was brought about by
bad tariff legislation and the free sil
ver agitation, and both of these evils
would be upon us again tn the event
of democratic success tills year.
Mr. VViiiis*—the workingmen or the
cities have us much at stake In this
campaign as do the manufacturers, for
they are the first and greatest suf
ferers when the mills dose down.
Thousands of men were out of work
four years ago. ami now many of the
big factories are unable to get as
many operators as they desire. Right
here In Omaha from 2u to 50 per cent,
of the members of the different labor
unions were unemployed in 1896, w hile
this year every union reports its lull
membership at work, 1 should think
that the enforced idleness of a lurgi
numb r of workingmen in the cities
would have some effect upon the
farmers. What do you think of it,
M,\ Williams?
Mr. Williams—Well, of course, the
farmer's prosperity depends very
largely upon a favorable market, an 1
you can't have a very good market
when thousands of men in the cities
are unemployed. During the four
years of hard times, from 1893 to 1896,
there was an Immense falling off in
the domestic consumption of far*n
products. The government statistics
show that the average decreased con
sumption of 'wheat in the United
States was over sixty million bushels
a year for the four years, and the per
capita consumption of corn dropped
from 30 bushels in 1892 to 14 bushels
in 1896. This great slump In the do
mestic market had its enect upon the
foreign market, of course. No matlcr
how bountiful the crops may be the
farmer can have no good times when
the markets are poor.
Mr. Wilils—The decreased consump
tlon of wheat and corn in the United
States during the four years of 1892-6
was undoubtedly due to the Inability
of the unemployed workingmen of th?
cities to provide a comfortable living
for their families. There must have
been even a greater decrease in the
consumption of meats.
Mr. Williams—Undoubtedly so. At
South Omaha Stock Yards the callie
receipts for the seven months of 1900
ending July 31 was 424.236. as again V
220,324 for a like period in 1896—a gain
of nearly 100 per cent. The hog re
ceipts for the first seven months of
this year were 1,121,171, as against
717,976 for the corresponding period
of 1890.
Mr. Hayward—No one will deny
that we are having general prosperity
at this time. Farmers are having
good crops and good markets, work
ingmen in the cities are having steady
employment at good wages and the
manufacturers and jobbers are enjoy
ing a constantly increasing business.
Do we owe any measure of praise to
the republican party for all this?
Mr. Willis—I think we do. I know
that hundreds ot big mills in the east
that were dosed by democratic tarift
tinkering have been reoponed by wise
republican tarift ft-gislation. Without
these mills in operation thousands of
meu would be out of work, and to
that extent our general prosperity
would he impaired.
Mr. Hayward—We must thank tlm
republican party also for sound finan
cial legislation, which has restored
confidence and returned money to cir
culation. If this government shou'u
undertake the unlimited coinage jf
stiver at a fixed ratio of 16 to 1 we
could have nothing like stability for
our currency, and without a stable
circulating medium there coitid ue no
confidence. The election of Mr. Bryan
would drive capital into its hiding
place again, and the farmer, the
workingman and tue manufacturer
and jobber would suffer the conse
quences.
Mr. Willis—I think the workingman
would suffer first, heiause a cesaat'on
of Industrial activities must neces
sarily and imniMliutrly follow the
withdrawal of capital from its natural
channels of usefulness. When capital
avoids permanent investment and
temporary employment. Improvements
of all kinds ■ ease, factories all over
the country are hamitered in their op
erations and workingmen are throw u
out of their jobs by the hundred.
Mr. Williams Arc you gentlemen of
the opinion that Mr. Bryan is any
more reliable In prophecy today than
he was in ISM?
Mr. Hayward Mr llryan may lie u
gifted man. but eoreslght Is a quaillv
that he lacks in lk‘.c« he predicted ail
sorts of dire recoils from a Mi Kin ley
victory. According to his clews, the
election of McKinley meant a con

union bad in 1896 a scale of 15 to 17'4

The Plumbers union scale was 45
cents per hour in 189C, now it is 50
cents; the Bricklayers' union wage
scale in 1896 wm 50 cents per hour;
now it is 55 cents. The Carpenters
union Beale was 30 cents per hour;
now it is 40 cents. The Painters and
Decorators' union has advanced its
scale from 30 cents to 36 cents, and
the Sheet Metal Workers wages have
been increased from 2“?4 cents to aS1*
cents per hour. 1 might go on and
show* similar increases in all th.i
trades, hut I have given sufficient
facts to demonstrate that Mr. Bryan’*1
prophecy of lowvr wages has not been
fulfilled,
Mr. Williams—And as to farmers,
Mr. Bryan was also mistaken. The
prices paid for all kinds of farm prod
ucts have advanced from 10 to 200 per
cent. Money is easier to get and in
terest rates are lower by from two to
three per cent.
Mr. Hayward—As to the contraction
of currency which Mr. Bryan predicted
as a certain result of the defeat of his
free silver scheme, I might say that
it has not come true. The per capita
circulation in 1896 was $21.10; on May
ui this year it was $26.58.
WHY THE DEMAND?
During the first eight months of
this year the number of head of live
stork received at South Omaha mure
thun doubled the number received
during the corresponding months of
the democratic year of 1896. For the
first eight months of 1896 the receipts
were 1,305,622, and for the first eight
months of 1900, 2.772,021. This tre
mendous increase of receipts lias been
accompanied by steadily advancing
prices. The loans and discounts of tliu
l nion Stock Yards National bank
have increased 148 per cent, and the
deposits.2’04 per cent, during the past
four yeai". All of this is a certain in
dication of prosperity not only at
South Omaha but throughout tlie*
country. South Omaha would not t><*
enjoying the benefits of a rapidly
growing stock market and pac king in
dustry unless there was a good de
mand from the eotitj'ry at large for
meats. Why the demand? Because
under an administration that guaran
tees safety to business interests in
general by providing a sound financial
system and a protective tariff the fac
tories have been kept in operation,
labor has been employed and all work
ingmen have been enabled to provide
adequately for themselves and the.r
families, if we are to have cheap
money, no confidence and even u par
tial shutting down of American mills,
the demand for meats and all th'>
other necessities of life will slacken and
South Omaha, with its live stock an i
packing interests, will be one of the
first and greatest sufferers. The peo
ple of this city can have no good rea
son for desiring a change.
LIVE STOCK.
The tremendous increase of bus -
ness at the South Omaha Jive stock
market is an unfailing sign of pros
perity. It indicates a strong and ad
vancing nfarket for the products of
the farms, which would he Impossible
without general prosperity among the
workers of the cities. The following
table shows the live stock receipts at
the stock yards for the first eight
months of this McKinley year and foi
the corresponding eight months of cue
democratic year of 1896:
1896. 1900.
Cattle .316,315 512,103.. 62
Hogs .798.639 1,501,302— 88
hnepp .190,649 758,616—298
Here is an increase in the number
of cattle received of C2 per cent" hogs,
88 per cent. In other words. 195, mb
more cattle, 702,664 more hogs and
567,967 more sheep were marketed at
South Omaha during the first eight
months of this year than during the
corresponding months of 1890. This
immense increase in the number of
cattle, hogs and sheep received at
South Omaha indicates a correspond
ing increase In the demand for meat
which could not have appeared had
the Industrial conditions of 1896 con
tinued. It might he said that the re
ceipts at South Omaha have been in
creased by the additions to the pack
ing houses at that point and that a
large number of stock raisers who
formerly shipped to ( im ago are now
marketing at South Omaha, but this
would not weakt n the assertion that
the increase in receipts shows a cor
responding increase in the general de
mand. for the receipts at Chicago have
also been advancing steadily during
the past four years.
With the heavy increase In receipt*
there has also been a steady advance
in price. Steers, far Instance, sold
July 31, 1890, at from $3.75 to $3.70.
and on July 31. 19b,0. they brought
$5.50; hogs sold July 31, 1896, at $3.77,
and July 31. 1900. the price was $5.09,
sheep on July 31, 1890, ranged from
$2 to $5.50, and on July 31, 1900, from
$4 to $5 45. This shows conclusively
that the farmers and stock raisers of
j this section of the country are no:
only selling a great deal more stock
now than they were in 1890. but they
