1 THEHEBRASKA -INDEPENDENT THE CAMPAIGN EKDED. I: I Mr. De Hart Comment on Grover Cleve land' Speech, Editor Independent: Mr. Grpver Cleveland, of Princeton, N. J., has made his speech at Morristown, N. J., the home cf millionaires and multi millionaires, and he made it fori the election of DeWitt Clinton Flanagan, a millionaire candidate for congress in the Fifth New Jersey district, run ning against Charles N. Fowler, au thor of the Fowler bill; but not one word did he say for or against the bill. The ex-president, in introducing himself, said: "I was born in New Jersey. After long absence, full of incidents and vicissitudes, I have returned to the old state, where I hope to pass the re mainder of my days and find a final resting place. I have brought back with me a genuine and undevjating love, not only for my native state, but for her old-time, staunch, and vigor ous democracy. I hope you will not think such reflections amiss. I feel in the mood for their mention, not by why of excuse for my appearance in a democratic assemblage, which I have never yet conceded to be necessary, but because my presence here may be regarded as not ''strictly consistent with my determination to consider myself as retired from the struggles and activities of political warfare. I fully recognize the natural order of things which brings changes in politi cal leadership and counsel, and I do not assume to nave a place in either role; but nothing, I care not what, can - drive or tempt me from my adherence to the unadulterated, wholesome, and beneficial principles of genuine dem ocracy. I am told that these prin ciples of the good, old-fashioned New Jersey brand are involved in a can vass hert pending in my native state and in the state I delight to call my home, and I have indluged my desire to come here and enjoy the stimulation and pleasure which 1 have never failed to find in hearty and harmonious democratic struggle." Then coming to what he regards as the unadulterated, wholesome, and beneficial principles of genuine dem ocracy, he says? "I am especially pleased to learn that tariff reform has been, jnade the prin cipal issue in the canvass you have in hand. Never within my observation or experience has there been a time when thi3 should be more earnestly, persistently, and honestly pressed upon the attention of our countrymen than now. "Of course, custom duties must con tinue to be the source of government maintenance until another plan is de vised; but a tariff, constructed for the purpose, of protection as its chief ob ject is ac. all times and in every feature of it, an unjust and unfair burden upon the masses of our people; and the To Die of Paralysis Like Father, Helpless Invalid For Three Years. Dr. Miles' Nervine Made My Nerves Strong "For many years I suffered from terrible headaches and pains at the base of the brain, and finally got so bad that I was overcome with nervous prostration. I had frequent dizzy spells ana - weak and exhausted that I could take but little food. The best physicians told me I could not live; that I would die of paralysis, as my father and grandfather had. 1 remained a helpless in valid for three years, when I heard of Dr. Miles' Restorative Ntrvine and began using it That winter I felt better than 1 had be fore in many years, and I have not been troubled with those dreadful headaches since I first used Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine. My appetite is good and my nerves are strong.' Mrs. N. M. Bucknell, 2929 Oak land Ave., Minneapolis, Minn. "For many ye-rs I suffered from nervous prostration, and couid not direct my house hold affairs, nor have any cares. My stom ach was very weak, headaches very se vere, and I was so nervous that there was not a night in years that I slept over one hour at a time. We spent hundreds of dol lars for doctors and medicine. I was taken to Chicago and treated by specialists, but received no benefit at all. Finally I heard of Dr. Miles' Nervine and began its use. I was surprised that it helped me so quickly, and great was my joy to find, after using seven bottles, that I had fully recovered my health." Mrs. W. A. Thompson, Duluth, Minn.

Addres Dr. Miles Medical Co Elkhart, lnd. bold and arrogant developments of its unfairness and in lustice in recent years, and the new directions they have taken,, ougut now to especially arrest tha attention and apprehension of every thoughtful, sober-minded citizen. "It was not long aeo that the demo cratic party In advocating the reduc tion of tariff taxation to the revenue needs of the government, based its Insistence largely upon the right and Justice of cheaDenine for the masses of our people the prices of the necessi ties or lire, and withdrawing so much protection from a favored few manu facturers as , allowed them abnormal profits at the expense of the great body of the consumers. But the. exactions from the people on account of protec tion were made in such a stealthy and unobserved manner, by adding them to their daily purchases, that it was difficult to impress unon the consum ers of the land the extent of these ex actions. While "this process was go ing on imported articles not produced in this country were charged with such high rates of duty as not only to greatly enhance their cost to the pur chasing consumer, but to create a sur plus revenue beyond its needs in the government treasury. This surplus represented clearly and definitely a small proportion of the unnecessary added expense of the living of our people on account of high protection; and its aggregate was ascertainable; but the amount of the exaction thus represented was insignificant as com pared with the amount which protec tion permitted our own manufacturers to pocket from the consumer." You can see. no one can helD but see, that what Cleveland calls "tariff reform" is a "tariff for revenue onlv " He cares nothing for the revenue of tne citizen, it is all for the revenue of the government at Washington. He has not one word to say with respect to any other principle of government. Although he speaks of the "unadulter ated, wholesome, and beneficial man ciples of genuine democracy," yet he cannot think of any principle, except a tar in system of taxation for gov ernment revenue only. Not one word can ne say in favor of a tariff that seeks to Drotect American lahnr against competition of foreign labor. or American capital against the com petition or toreign capital, or our American industries against foreign industries. To such a tariff he ob jects, because, as he says, it supports trusts. It does not occur to Mr. Cleveland that while he is advocating "tariff re- iorm, apparently, for electing Mr. Flanagan to congress, and that while Mr. Fowler is advocating a protective tariff for the purpose of replying to Mr. Cleveland and of keeping himself in congress, much more important principles of democracy are neglected. Is it true, as some think, that Cleve land is shifting the argument from tne currency to the tariff for the pur pose of keeping Mr. Fowler in con gress, not ror the sake of voting for a protective tantt, but tor pushing the Fowler bill? and that he talks tariff. not fcr having Flanagan in congress to vote tor a revenue tariff, but for the Fowler bill? I cannot undertake to sit in judgment upon Mr. Clevelanl's motives, but the result will be, that if Fowler is elected then there will be a vote for the Fowler bill: and if Flan agan is elected, there will be a vote ror tne bowler bill. There have been such tricks played in politics, and it is not at all improbable that Cleveland knows what he is doing, and that he sees in tne Fowler bill a measure of tar more importance than a revenue tariff, although he is teaching that "tariff reform" deserves to be ranked among the "unadulterated, wholesome, and beneficial nrincinles nf cennlno democracy," and that nothing else is, comparatively, or any importance not even the Fowler bill is to be men tioned. If we are compelled to lay aside the income tax and the money question, and must confine the discussion to the comparative merits of a republican tar- ih ana a tariff which Mr. Cleveland's wing of the democracy will give us. then I would say, give us the republi can tariff. - A republican protective tariff, if it is true to the principle of protection, will give us free trade in all commodities which we cannot produce; and low prices for all such commodities. It will impose high duties on all foreign commodities, the like of which we can produce; and, perhaps, the prices of these commodities will be high. A Cleveland democratic revenue tar iff will put high duties on all goods which we do npt produce; and this will make very high prices for all such commodities. It will produce a large amount of revenue for the govern ment, as long as the high duties are paid. A Cleveland democratic revenue tar iff will also put low duties on such commodities as we produce, and great quantities of such goods will come in, and there will be a large amount of revenue for the government although tho duties are low. These low duties will not only invite the foreign com peting goods to come in, but they will come in at low prices and our mills and factories will have to close down, unless the workmen are willing to work at low wages. The government will have plenty of revenue as long as our people are able to pay high prices for the foreign goods which we cannot produce, and low prices for the foreign goods, the like of which we can produce and ought to be producing. But, if our people are thrown out of work by importation of foreign com peting goods and they have no wages, then they will not be able to buy either the' goods which we cannot pro duce or those which we can produce, and the government will have no revenue, even with a tariff which is maue for revenue only. Such is the practical working,of the two antagonistic systems of tariff tax fit'tn. TJnder the republican protec tive system, the people are more likely to have, work, because foreign goods which we can produce, are kept out by hign tariff duties. The first essential is work. The next essential is good wages. These two essentials secured, ot'i people can live in great comfort under a protective tariff than under a tarifT for revenue only, which will bring in foreign goods we cannot pro duce, at high prices; and foreign goods, we can produce, at low prices; besides under a revenue tariff there will not be so much work to do, and the wages for what little is done must be low. There may be revenue for the government, but none for the peo ple. As long as Mr. Cleveland and men of his way of thinking persist in advo cating a tariff for revenue only and iri insisting that such a tariff is bet ter than a protective tariff and that the elections, as they come around, ought to turn on this point, to the exclusion of all other questions, (an income tax and the money question especially), the people of this country will vote for protection and for keep ing tho republicans in power at Wash ington. Mr. Cleveland objects to a protec tive tariff on the ground that it pro duces monopolistic trusts. If this is true, we had better have work, with good wages, under a protective tariff and the trusts, than no work and star vation under a revenue tariff and no trusts. The. time may come for free trade, w'th an income tax for revenue only, but never for a tariff for revenue only. JNO. S. DE HART. Jersey City, N. J. I Will Cure You of Rheumatism Else No Money is Wanted. After 2,000 experiments, I have learned how to cure Rheumatism. Not to turn bony joints into flesh again; 4 that is impossible. But I can cure tho disease always, at any stage, and for ever. I ask for -o money. Simply write me a postal and I will send you an or der on your nearest oruggist for six bottles Dr. Shoop's Kheumatic Cure, for every druggist keeps it Use it for a month and, if it succeeds, the cost is only $5.50. If it fails, I will pay the druggist myself. I have no sam; .es, because any med icine that can affect Rheumatism quickly must be drugged to the verge of danger. I use no such drugs, and it is folly to take them. You must get the disease out of the blood. My remedy does that, even in the most difficult obstinate cases. No matter how impossible this seems to you, I know it and take the risk. I have cured tens of thousands of cases in this way, and my records show that 39 out of 40 who get six bottles pay gladly. I have learned that people in general are honest with a physician who cures them. That is all I ask. If I fail I don't expect a penny from you. Simply write me a postal card or. a letter. I will send you my book about Rheumatism, and an order for the medicine. Take it for a month, as it won't harm you anyway. If it fails, it is free, and I leave tue decision with you. Address Dr. Shoop, Box S40, Racine, Wis. Mild cases, not chronic, are often cured by one or two bottles. At all druggists. Japanese Up To Date. There are thousands of people scat tered all over the United States who believe that a people the color of whose skin is different from theirs can never be their equals in anything. A good many of them have nothing about them upon which to base their claim for superiority except the color of their skin. The Japanese have recent ly given the whole world a lesson how to stop the spreading of a .plague, with out suffering or privation to any one and do it most effectively. The bubonic plague recently appeared at Yokohama and the measures taken to stop its spread proved effective. As soon as the first case had been authenticated, a military cordon was established around the whole district involved. When the residents of that district, several blocks in area, awoke the next morning they found themselves walled in by a substantial board fence eight feet high, closely guarded. A price was set on rats and some 2,000 were destroyed in the quarantined quarter. Not content with cutting off this district, however, the authorities de termined to remove its position bodily, and started to build accommodation at Kanagawa fort, an elevated point across the bay from Yokohama. Tem porary buildings were run up, and the people taken there. Their houses in town will probably be burned. The government undertakes the sup port of all the 1,240 persons in the quarantine district. The expense of this for twenty days considered neces sary is placed at $20,000. The greatest precaution is taken to prevent the spread of the disease to other towns. The population is for bidden to walk barefooted, and in nocent offenders are stopped and warned by the police. Passengers by the local trains are subjected to health inspection. Nothing Equals It .
