CHEATING NEBRASKA FARMERS. “What v^tll be the issue of the next campaign in Nebraska as lie tween republicans and democrats < ” “Why. the tariff, of course." “t >h. tut. tut! the tariff is a dead issue. You cannot get anybody to listen to you." “We'll see about tliat." said the republican. “Have you already forgotten tint tlit* Wilson administration, immediately after assuming the rein- of government, called an ex tra session of Congress for the sole purjHise of reducing or re moving impost duties on foreign made goods, grain and meats, brought intothe American markets f Now we liave had two years' time in w hich to get the effects of the jolt our industries and commerce hate suffered in consequence. “The democrats took all the protection off wheat and animal food stuffs and oilier of the chief natural prutiicLs of Nebraska, opening the doors to millions of pound* of gram and meats from (■•reign shores, thus increasing the ' .ppl.v and consequently reducing pr < es. While depriving Nebras ka farmers of altout IK cents a bushel on wheat, the democrats am- o-n careful to retain the pro le uve tariff on tlie products of tie* south. ‘TV European war broke out July 31. 1911. Mi that in this show ing prices prior to that time only w ill Ije considered. The prices of June. 1912, represented tlie pros ier' is times and good farm prices under a protective tariff and a re publican administration. Two tears later and just prior to the outbreak of the war in Europe, tlw* market price of wheat showed tin* depressing effects of the tariff, t hi th*- latter date, wheat at < hnalia was s«,* rents a bushel, and on June i. 1912. it was #1.084. At Kansas City, June 4. 1914. wheat was 914 cents a bushel, while on June 4. 1912. it was #1.12, a differ etice of goi cents a bushel. Pre vailing prices on those dates in the principal markets tin* country over show about the same rate of de cline under the democratic tariff. t’ie average decrease in live markets being > rents a bushel. "With the liars down, wheat p mred into the United States from foreign countries in enormous quantities. The importations of wile d into the United Ste.tes dur ing the first nine months of the Underwood tariff were 1,971,430 bu-liels as roin|ian*d with 472,385 bushels during the last nine months of the republican tariff. This is an increase of 357 j»-r cent over the year before under republican tariff. This could have but one effect, namely, to reduce the price of wheat produced in the United States. And here is the way it lut Nebraska in 11*14. when the stan* produced t»4,£lM,ouo bushels «»f wlieat. on which there was a free-trade loss of over ten million dollar*. Tliere lieing Ne braska farmers producing wheat, lie- average loss per farm oil last year’s wlieat crop on account of the free tariff was approximately til "As a specific illustration, let us take tin* wlieat |irodllctioli of 11age county, which was 2,764,»83 bosiiels. whose farmers lost, by least* of the democratic tariff. This will indicate the relative loss sustained by farmers in every county of Nebraska pro ducing wheat. The profit-killing effect of the tariff on corn and livesto. k through democratic free trade is even more injurious to Nebraska than the loss on wheat. "In a consideration of this sub ject. it is well to remember that the republican national platform, as well as tlie progressive national platform, both declared for ade quate protection to the products of tin* American farm; whereas the democratic national platform sanctioned free trade. Even the most resoun*eful math ematical! finds it extremely diffi cult, if not im|NJSsibie, to use any comparative statistics in such a way a* to bring credit to the pres-1 cut i d mini stratum. Some, how- j ever, make desperate efforts to put the figures together in such a way as to relieve democracy of its bur den of discredit. In an attempt of tnis kind, one democratic news paper refers to the fact that rail way earnings for April, 1915,were s33,821,308 as compared with $32, 222,791 for the same month in 1914, an increase of a million and a half. Even though that is comparing one democratic month with an other and, therefore, proves noth ing. the apparent good showing is entirely reversed when the demo cratic editor finds himself forced to admit that the gain in net earn ings “is not due to an increase in gross but to a decrease in operat ing expenses.” That decrease in oj>erating exjcenses must mean either reduced wages, reduced pur chases or reduced employment. In any event, it means less money for the workers on railroads or in railroad shops. Nor is that all, for the same editor goes on to ad mit that although gross earnings “were down only $2,000,000 for the month*' (April) they were down 879.00U during the preceuing nine months, or an average of nearly $9,000,000 a month. While most people will be glad to know that the railroads, aided by increased rates and by renewed industrial activity due to the war, are not as badly off as they were, it is difficult to comprehend what satisfaction a democrat can get out of presentation of statistics showing the depths to vphich rail road business had sunk within re cent months. At any rate. President Wilson is not in a position to pass any ad verse criticism upon Mr. Bryan. It was Bryan alone who took Wil son from a minority place in thei Baltimore convention and won the nomination for him over Champ Clark, the majority candidate. In each of his three campaigns for tiie presidency. Bryan polled more votes than did Wilson, though the population of the United States was much less when Bryan ran. In political sagacity requisite to effective work in a convention and in popularity with the democrats ( f the country, Brvan has Wilson “skinned a mile,” and it is a safe guess that Wilson’s political ad visors won't let him commit the folly of saying anything that will displease Bryan’s friends. • The small boy who is compelled to “take it back” after blustering ly talking up to his better informed companion, can sympathize with the democratic administration Which is now proclaiming the suc cess of the i>ostal savings bank though the democrats in congress fought it as hard as they knew how.
