To Hon. Gil bert M. Hitchcock: We, the under signed democrats of Nemaha county, Nebraska, having faitli in the policies of the present democratic administra tion, and believing it; the part of wisdom to uphold the hands of the president, who has proven himself the master of the situation and a friend of the people, suggest that you, as one of our representp.ti es in the United States senate, lay aside your personal opinion as to minor details and get squarely behind the president in the important matters now before the senate, the currency bill, and by so doing claim a part of the glory due this democratic administration as the greatest moral uplift in the history of our country.

Linn, An Albion, Neb., dispatch, dated October 24, says: Forty-seven Boone county democrats have wired to Sen ator Gilbert M. Hitchcock at Wash ington, urging that he support the GhiBs-Owen currency bill. The peti tion read as follows: "Wo, as demo crats of Boone county, Nebraska, afo heartily in favor of the Glass-Owens currency bill. Wo most earnfcstly re quest you aa our representative In the United States senate to give your undivided support to this bill, We see by the dally dispatches that some of the Omaha bankers havo made the statement before the committee that 'Nebraska is opposed to this bill.' This may be true of the Omaha bank ers, but we can assuv you that this ,is not true of the voters of the state' SUB-SECTION OIi1 NKV TARIFF LAW INOPERATIVE An Associated Press dispatch says: Attorney General McReynolds has decided that the sub-section of the new tariff law authorizing a discount of 5 per cent on all goods imported in American vessels Is nullified by its provision that "nothing in this sub section shall bo so construed as to 'abrogate or in any manner impair or affect the provisions of .any treaty concluded between the United States and any foreign nation." Secretary ;McAdoo, of the treasury department, made public the attorney general's opinion and announced ,that in accordance with it, collect tors Of Customs would rfUrAVArJ sub-section as they had bee structed to do on October 8. JSntrfor held up ponding tho decision now will bo liquidated, leaving Importers who Insist upon the f. per cent discount to protest with the right of finally carrying the question to the. court of customs appeals. This ends for the present ut least the long drawn dul discussion over the proposed tllfTer entlal duty provision, the subject of much debate In congrosH while tho tariff bill was under consideration. Mr. McReynolds said: "That the & per cent discount to American vessels only, which is the primary object of the sub-section In question, cannot ho given wl(hout Impairing the stipulations of existing, treaties between tho United State and various other powers and that consequently the sub-section, by the expressed terms of the proviso is In operative," Twenty-three natloriB have treaties with tho United States under Which they claimed their ships had a right to the differential in common with American ships. Theso included Ger many, Great Britain, France, Austra- Hungary, Italy, Japan, Belgium, Den mark, Greece, The Netherlands," Spain, Norway and Sweden, Soveral foreign governments, in cluding those of Germany, France, and Spain, made strong protests to tho state department against the pro posed discrimination and there" was some indirect threats of a trade war If the preference duty was enforced.
