."'SWU $ ' t1 i BSaajBBBSB I i . l7 i;v H k '&i If J ? it v urn t?k- mt The Great rrektesn Par Ik Parmer te Salve, The greatest affliction that the av erage farmer ha to cope with ia the extremely low prices that prevail on tlio productions of the farm pocinlly in tho wcst.nt thin timo cause of which is very difficult to di vine, prices in many instance boing scarcely abovo tho cost of raining. How to remedy thin growing evil is a momentous fcuhjeut that has jheon worrying tho tiller of tho soil for a lounldcrnblo loiigth of time. Vari ous Rouictiea huvo heen organised at different pcriodo which wora calcu lated to promote tho jiuio of tho farm or and unite with them in their ef forts to brine about tho desired re sults, but up to date the great pans eea that ia to be tho harbinger of hotter prices has not been dircovered, nnd from yenr to year, prices scrum to get lower and lower, until todaj it ia' positively a fnot, that after a year's labor, tho farmer often cones out be hind . There seems to be a general effort on iho part of thoao who have control of the wealth of tho country to oppress the agricultural world, and keep their noses to the grindstone. There are a few men who oontrol the markets of the world, and manipulate them to All their own pockets, to the dotrimont of all other olasses. Why this should bo so wo are at Iota to know. Vast monopolies havo been incorporated contrary to the spirit of our republican instltutiona, yet our representatives in congress, and our state legislatures, do not aaake any attempt to alleviate the wronga of tho less fortuaate class, but on the other hand aoem to do all they are able to, to holp the rich got rioher and the poor poorer. It ia high time that the farmers of tho country organizo thoroughly, and with tho aid of labor ing men generally, they would bo able to dictate prices rather than be dictated to by unprincipled million airea who dosiro to relievo them of all they are posessed of in order that it may line their own oiothes with gold. Take the price of eattle for Jnotanco. In the list four yeara the raising of cattle on the averago farm has resulted in loss, and in many cases absolute ruin to tho farmer, prices having been controlled largely by the great bcof combine, composed of cxtensivo packing houses, lias tho price of beef-steak been any low er? No, and it never will bo tintil thoro is a determined effort on tho part of tho farmer to maintain his rights. Tho farmer gets from one, and a half, to two, and a half eonts por pound for his eattlo, but tho prieo of beef is the same, almost iden tically ns it was whon fat cattle were at their best. Some one must bo nakiBg money, but it is not the farm er, certainly. Tho samo can bo aaid of all kinda of products that are rais ed by the farmora generally. The only romody that This Chief can ad vanoo is for tho farmors to thorough ly organice for their own piotootioo, and not soil a dollar's worth of goods unless they can get a fair living price for what they raise. It is not freo trade or high tariff that will help tho farmer got even with tho blood suckers, who are persistently endeav oring to crush him, but it ia aelf protection by thoroughly organising to a man for thoir preservation, and until this is dono, tho farmer and laborer will bo continually robbed ef what should be justly his good prices. We hope that that time will aeon bo hero. It the farmer do not take this stand it will not be many yoara bcfoio landlordism and wealth will bo running as rampant in Amer ica aa it in in old Kngland, whore a man is a sluvo to all intents and pur poses, unless he is a titled lord or a wealthy nabob. . La grippe, the great Russian dis easo which seems to havo established a firm grip on tho Amorican continent is going tho rounds rapidly. Up to the hour of going to p-oss ten or a doiOB citiieasof Red Cloud have been embraced ia ita powerful grip, but haw ao far been able to ahake it off aa good Americans always do with foreign foe.

To the victors bolong tho spoils, but MoKooby scorns to havo had too long a head for tho demooratio vic tors and knocked tho persimmon. The domocrats could not have expect ed anything else but trcaohery from tho crowd they trained with, and tho result is aa anticipated by some of our prominent democrats, who wanted to elect the entire demooratio tioket. You oould not have hoped for even a glimmer of honesty from tho mug wumps, politically speaking. Look how thoy slaughtered Reese Thomp son and tho balanoo of the demoorat io tioket in ordor to elect Fassler. Now look how thoy have snubbed thoso life-long domocrats, T. J. Ward, Ken. Skeon, John Kellogg, 8am. Temple, A. II, Lineberger, and number of others who are fully com petent to disoharge the duties of depu ty treasurer, by appointing a republi can to that offioo. The Democrat (And demoorats havo a right to kick; but' then we knew thoro was to be a sail out and that tho democracy was to be only a oatspnw to pull big 8 chestnuts from tho flro.

Tho counoil may persist in ignoring tho wishes of the people in tho matter of economy, but a final reckoning will come sooner or later. Tin ClllKl' has been interviewing a number of our businoss men, and nearly alt of those interviewed, agree that the sal ary of tho aldormon and mayor ought to be out down to nothing, also that tho city expenses ought to bo trimmed down at loaat 13,000. It is too muoh to ask the people of Red Cloud to pay 18,000 per annum ir. taxca for the benelt of keeping up a hordo of office holders. Thore are plenty of men in Red Cloud that could be induced to look after city business without pay, and would be glad to do it, If it would lighten the burdon of taxation. The money market is too close for men to go down in thoir pockots for the purpose of maintaining auch an expensive oity government. Bettor by far throw up the oity government and go baok to a village organisation if tt is going to tako tho earth to keep it up. There should be a gen eral movo for tho strictest economy all along the lino, and when tho eity is again on tho boom, and money becomes moro plentiful, it will be time enough to put on city airs. Will the eity council heed the demands of the peoplo in this mattor of economy. ,The committee to make Inal settle wont with Treasurer MoNitt, havo been engaged in that purpose this week. Mr. McNitt will go out of that office with an honorable reoord, such as no man need be ashamed of. M. B. McNitt ia every inch a man, and as a public servant, haa been true to his trusts. Ny he live long and presper. The Rock Island ftelala are now in the state looking wp new routes for their road. If Red Cloud desires te get the branch fratu Lebanon to Kear ney now is the time to act. Will our people get to work and trv and in duce the Rock Island that it ia to their benelt to compete tor a part of the freight business of Red Cloud. We hope they will, for we want to aec Red Cloud boom this spiing. Tfte IsMtlisH for sTeeMe VJIsilecl Toiiae. Daring Christmas the editor cf this paper, and wife, were Ia Beatrice and while there attended tb! Christ mas services at the above Institute, which to say the least were very Ine, and entertaining. The poor children whose minds have been clouded from infancy, here find a plnee where they1 have all the comforts that money and care can bestow Upon them by loving hands and by people who havo spent a lifitime in a work that sr.ost people wenld not care to follow. The very best kindergarten teachers are employed by the state to instruct the children and confer upon them all the advant ages that brighter children havo in our public aohools, and each teacher enters tiponfttho work Mslgued, with the same, or more pride than those whose pupils are of the brighter type. The Christmas exercises consisted mostly of declamations and songs, and to say that each child acquitted himstlf nicely would be doine an ,in- JuHtice. After that portion of the exerclsce were over, each one of the 125 children were given a present over the reeeival of whioh all were highly pleased. On Ohriitmaa the children were marabslled into the dining rooms and there treated to as fine a Christmas dinner aa was ever spread before any one . Roast turkey with cranberry sauce, oy stent, mince pie, celery, bread and butter oandiea, fruits, oranges etc. were dished up as long as tho children could cat, and was looked foward to with great eagerness by the children. The work to"! be accomplished is a great ono, but un- dor the caicful management of Dr. Armstrong, and his corps of able as sistants, we look for much good to be brought about in the work of educa tion, ana in tact, ntting the poor ohildron to boar the trials of life as easily as possible. It ia n public institution that our atate should pive all tho entouragemeat that it can. Ne:a.r Meet raetorjr. If Red Claud really wants to do something that will enhance the val ue of her real eatfte, and take the city out of the lethargeie rut that she bas been allowed to get into, It oould do no better thing than to make a lemma cnort to procure a sugar beet factory. It haa been proven to the aatiafaction of all that augar beets equal to those of any eauntry can be raised in Nebraska, in kfact it said that tho aoil of Nebraska ia better adapted than any in tho Unite i States for raising augar beets, and this boing tho ease, why not Red iiouu put lortn an cnort to nave a factory and thereby give the town a olanoo to boom, and tho agricultural surroundings would have a ehanro to raise something that would be profit able. TiiuCiiiuris first, last, and all the time for Red Cloud, no matter whether n few ebronioa would like to have our scalp or not. Tho editor of this paper can raise above petty spite work at any or all timos. when it comes to building up tho city. Tub Cmxr will always be found working for logltiaiate enterprises that are for Red Cloud'a interest, no matter who are tho promoter!. Let our peoplo get together and get the ball rolling for a sugar beet factory. It ia with in our power. "Whrre did you get that Republi can, John?" 'Oh! I didn't aubscribe for it, you may rest assured." "Well how did you eome by it." 'Oh! Simooa aaid he'd send it to me, no matter whether I paid for it or not." Our reporter smiled, and turning on his heel, wondered if that was the way tho "Jersey Lily" was getting his large subscription list.

Tni Cmxr baa no patioular objection to hia selection, aa it is none of our particular business, but then von ought to hear Rome (the demoorats) howl . The demooratio bova that tore their ahirta off to help tho big 8 oleet Fasslor are now feeling justly sore be cause Ohria did not appoint one of their number his deputy. There arc hundreds of good demoerata who are fully qualhted to fill tho bill, but then it couldn't be, and keeo faith with the big 8.

To TM ditou: Those who, on account of tho cold, were prevented from listening to the morning discourse of Rev. Mr. Yei sor at the Baptist church in Guide Rock, Denembor 20th, 1889, missed a rare treat indeed, Mr. Yeiaermado no attempt at the grandiloquent, but rora well studied, and well delivered discourse, the writer can say that It haa never been surpassed in this city siaoet wt have lived in this place. Ilia theme was the trial at tho bar ef Pilate, and the subsequent cruci fic tion of Christ. But the crowning nnd masterly manner in which the Reversed gentleman applied his sub ject to the lives efhis hearers wss lomething unlooked for. He dwelt upon tho cry of the mob in their de- anda that Pilate release Barabna the murderer, and erunifv ni,s :. whom Pilate declared there had been found no guilt He said that msny persons would stand by and hear the goapel of Christ deride 1 by ialdels and blackguards, without entering any protest, but would wink at the evils perpetrsted on society by the low, the vicious, and even murderer.
