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.

When you get plans
for the new house be
