The oxtromo desperation to
which tho "gold hugs" are driven
to defend their weakening causo is
shown by the doliboralo misrepre
sentation of thoir organs.
Silver papers all over tho coun
try for the pnBt three months havo
'ben running tho following articlo
from "Tho London Financial
News" of April 80, lfcOl:
"There is n plain moral in tha
remark that if tho United States
would venture to cut herself adrift
from Europe and take outright to
silver she would havo all America
and Asia nfe her back, and would
command tho markets of both
Continents. "The barrier of gold
' '.'would bo more fatal than any
"barriur of a custom house. Tho
"bond of silver would be stronger
than any bond of free "trade."
There can bo no doubt about it,
tfiafc if tho United States were to
adopt a silver basis to- morrow,
British trade would be ruined bo
foro a year was out. Every Ameri
can industry would be protected,
not only at home but in every
other market. Of course the States
would suffer to a certain extent
through having tb pay her obliga
tions abroad in gold but tho.loso
on exchange under this head
would boa more drop in the bucket
compared whh tho profits to be
reaped from tho markets of Souh
America and Asia, to say nothing
of Europe. The marvel is that
iheUnited States has not long ago
seized the opportunity, and but
for tho beleif that the way of Eng
land is necessarily tho way to com
mercial success and prosperity,
undoubtedly it would havo been
'done long ago. Now, Americans
are nwiikoulng to the faet that
"so long as tlreyiiarrow their am
bition to bpcoming a larger Eng
land" They cannot l6at us. It has
been a piece of luck for jui that it
has never before occured to tho
Americans to scoop us out of the
world's market by going on a
silver basis, and it might serve us
right if, irritated by thocontemtu
ous apathy of our Government to
tho gravity of tho silver problem,
the Americans retaliated by freez
ing out goln. It could easily bo
done, and wo propose shortly to
sliQTr, by evidence collected from
perfectly unprejudiced sources,
that even now the process has be
gun, and is proceeding at a rate
'that will astonish most people, and
probably make this country regret
that .that it did not at an earlier
stage'ashion its monetary policy
on principles of friondliness to
'other nationB, iuBtcadof op a basis
of shortsighted selfishness."
Goldbug papeis callediuto ques
tion its authenticity. But the chief
cleik in the office of the London
paper makes' affidavit that the
article appeared as above on the
above date. Last week the editor
of the Alliance Guide informed
his readers that he had been asked
to give some "light" in regards to
this article and then proceeds to
give tho "light" by denying that
the paper ever published the
article He did this knowing at
the time that he was writing that
ho was denying what had alread)
been conclusively proven. Only a
short time ago Editor Ellis of the
"Times" said "If tho article were
Jrue it would look very "nasty" for
he republican party." Now gentle
men that you know q a certainty
that tho article is t?uo will yon
havo the decency to eorao out
honestly and acknowledge youi
error? Wo don't think yon will.

HANNA'S SIDESHOW INDIANAPOLIS CONVENTION,
Hanna .Walk up, gentlemen, and soo tho waxworks. This is only
part of the groat McKinloy circus, but I desire all to sco tho pre
cision with which tho dummies do my bidding."
HON. C, J. SIY1YTHE,
Democratic candidate for At
torney General, will speak at
Hemingford, Wednesday, Oct. 7th,
at 2 p. m. Mr. Smytli6 is a
good speaker and you should
not fail to hear him.
Thero is food for consideration
for tho voters of Box Butte county
in tho fact that during tho last two
woeks tho McKinloy clubs at
Heinhlgfordand Alliance every
time there is a republican rally
bond a largo delegation by way1 of
tho II. R. and pa)' their faro for
them. Now wc havo no objection
to any one taking a fiee ride on
tho cars if they can get it. But
the question arises, where do the
republicans in and around Hem
ingford get tho money to pay 100
fares to Alliance and back, man
ifestly it is not raised here. There
is no question of doubt but that it
is a part of Marcus Hanna's
"barrel" subscribed by tho corpor
ations and trusts of tho east, and
in return for tlnir contributions
they expect the Republican party if
successful to logistate their dona
tions with usury back into their
pockets. Tho voters are patching
these things and this year their
vote can not bo purchased at the
expense 6i thoir homos and thoir
liberty. Our opponents must find
somo moro forceful arimmcnts
than free R. R. rides to got the
votes In Bos Butte this year. "Wo
all want prosperity, the only ques
tion is, shall wo vote for tho farm
er and thereby make everyone
prosperous or for tho manufactur
er and thereby continue our pres
ent policy for which Cloveland and
Hanna are standing shoulder to
shoulder. A "vote for Bryan is
for tho former policy and one for
McKinley is to continue our pres
ent policy.
I have been called an anarchist
because I havo opposed tho
trusts and syndicates which would
manage this country. I am glad
to have tho opposition of these
men. I am glad that if I am
elected thero is not a trust or a
syndicato that can come to -mo
and say, "Wo put you thoro now
pay us back. William .Jennings

Oct llth, at 10 o'clock.
PUBLIC PULSE.
Editoh Heiiald:
it has been stated by tho re
publican stump orators in this
county that all wo need to make
us prosperous is a high tariff If
that bo true we should bo pros
perous now. Tho tariff law in
forco at present is the highest
tariff that wo havo ever had in
this qountry except the McKinloy
tariff which was in offqet only
about four years, and tho Mc
Kinloy tariff Was loss than 5 por
cent higher thanWilsou tariff now
in forco.
Tho McKinloy tariff provided
that on all foreign goods import
ed into this country the import
ers should pay a tariff of 47 cents
for every dollar's worth of goods,
that is tho average tax on tariff
was 47 cents on tho dollar; on
some goods it was moro and on
somo it was less, and under tho
Wilson bill which is in effect now
tho average tariff on imported
goods is moro than 42 cents on
tho dollar.
Thoy say that under the Wilson
bill that cattlo aro imported into
this country from Mexico, sold at
$U por head and that tho McKin
loy law imposed a tariff on cattle
of $10 por head, which oxcluded
tho importation of cattlo into
this country and saved our cattlo
raisers hero from competing with
tho Mexico cattlo markot. Now
it is woll known that this country
is an exporter of cattlo and it
makes no difference Whether tho
Mexico cattle aro first shipped
from Mexico to this country and
from hero to London ami Liver
pool or whether thoy go direct
from Mexico to thoso markets,
they are brought into cqmpeti
tion with our cattlo when they
reach those markets anyhow.
Further, cattlo feeding has
grown to be a great industry in
this country, corn and feed of
all kind is produced so cheaply
hero of lato years that there is
u great profit in buying stock
cattlo and feeding them for tho
market. Now it is true that
nearly all of tho cattlo imported
into this country from Mexico
aro brought as stock cattlo for
the purpose of being fattened
and then put on tho market. It
' is evident that cattlo ready for
i market which would soil in
Chicago or N'ew York for from
!NJU to fcio dollars a head would
not bo delivered in Texas or any
whore else in the United States
and sold for $0, each.
Tho fact is that all tho cattlo
imported from Mxico are brought
to Texas and shipped north into
Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska
or other places whore feed is
cheap and abundant whore thoy
are fed until in condition for tho
markot thou disposed of at a
good profit. This makes a do-
jnand for tho farmers grain, it
gives employment to railroad
employees, a,i& tho railroad is
paid for transporting tho cattlo
and laborers aro omployod to
feed and euro for theso cattlo
while Jjpre. So that is not such
a bad thing after all. Wo would
not caro to havo Mexico ship in
a fow horses if it would havo tho
samo offect tho cattlo trado has.
