TARIFF REFORM.
Will din Dnmorratlo I'urtr Mnko Ihli ai
Iinun In thn Cnrn | > lcii of 100UT
The Philadelphia Record IB anothoi
newspaper which takes the ground thai
the Democratic party's best chance ol
miecemi In the presidential election ol
1000 lies In Us making the tariff the
Issue. It says :
"With tariff reform as the Issue , the
Democratic party would not only be
united , hut to its Banner would bo at
tracted tens of thousands of voters whc
can no longer bo duped with the false
pretense 'that protcctlvo duties , while
enhancing the cost of the necessaries
of living , give labor nnd high wages ta
worklngmen. "
The fatuity of those who believe that
any party or any candidate could win
In 1000 on a platform pledged to the re-
peal'of 'tho Dlngley law nnd the de
struction of the protective tariff sys
tem Is bojond comprehension. If the
proofs were not nt hand It would be
Impossible to believe that there wore
any one left In thin country who still
bollovfcd In free trade. As a matter o (
fact , wo believe that the follows who
are now crying tariff in the Democratic
party arc low down cowards who want
to dodge the financial Ipsue. That n
belief In free trade can still exist In
any one after our experiment with that
destructive nnd pauper-producing poli
cy during the Cleveland administration
almost makes one doubt the truth pf
the old adage that experience is the
best teacher. But that any one can
dieam that free trade would bo a win
ning card , can think that the people
of this country can be led Into making
another disastrous experiment with it ,
Is almost beyond the power of Imagina
tion.
It will bo n rather difficult task to
make any tens of thousands of voters ,
or any tens without the thousands , be
lieve that they arc being duped by pro
tection. They have the cold , hard cash ,
brought home regularly as a result of
steady employment and high wages ,
since the rcsoratlon of the protective
tariff , with which to refute any charges
of being duped by protection. The
prosperity which has come as a result
of the enactment of the Dlngley law
Is too concrete a thing and too uni
versal a thing for the wild and base
less asscrtibhs of the free-trade papers
nnd frco-trado orators to have any
effect.
The change from prosperity to hard
times nt the repeal of the MoKlnley
law and the change from hard times to
piosperlty Immediately upon the resto
ration of pi election by the passage of
the Dlnglcy law Is too great , and em
phatic an object lesson to be soon for
gotten by the voters of the country.
By all means let the Democratic party
make ficc trade , or Its alias , "tariff
rofoi m. " Its battle cry for 1000. It will
servo to show once for all that the
people of the United States by an
overwhelming majority believe In the
American system of a protective tariff.
American Sprint ; Waters.
An excellent move In the right direc
tion Is that of bringing prominently
Into view the virtue of American
spring waters by means of n public ex
hibit and sale under exceptionally at
tractive conditions. It Is with A'mer-
Ican spring wateis as with American
wines : Familiarity breeds reaped ;
they need only to bo known In order
to be appreciated. To promote a wider
knowledge on this subject the plan has
been adopted of establishing stands In
many of the large commercial build
ings of New York , where native spring
waters In many varieties are dispensed
uy the glass at a moderate price. The
water Is displayed In a handsome glass
receptacle , so constructed as to con
tain the Ice In a central cylinder , while
the crystal water , kept from contact
with the Ice , and cooled to a natural
spring temperature , is shown through
the outer circumference of the glaas
jacket. A considerable number of con
cerns handling spring waters have
adopted this method of securing the
favorable Introduction of their waters ,
and with'excellent results. Any plan
Is to bo commended that tends to Im
press upon Americana the fact that In
their own country are found spMng
waters riqual to any In the world allko
for hygienic and for potable purposes.
Makn the IIBUO Plain.
It Is unfortunate that the trust matter -
tor has been brought into politics. If
It is to lead to a revamping of the tar
iff discussion , however , lot the issue
bo made plain. In such matters even
the Democracy of the country cannot
afford to be otherwise than honest. The
Interests nt stake are too great to be
trifled with. The present tariff has
brought order out of chaos , prosperity
out of disaster , and strength out ot
weakness. It is to bo hoped that there
will bo no more bootless discussion of
this question which has already been
settled , but if it must como let the is
sue bo drawn squarely and let the De
mocracy of the country endure the
consequences. Pcorla (111. ( ) Journal.

The Democratic papers are gleefully
taking up Mr. Havemeyer'a suggestion
that the tariff la the long lost parent
of the trust. Reversing the application
of Col. Bryan's recent bon mot , If trust
Is cpnfldence , that might bo construed
as meaning that the tariff Is the legiti
mate parent of confidence. To this
soft impeachment the tariff will cheer
fully plead guilty. Sioux City ( Iowa )

St. Louis Globe-Democrat : The
chief significance which attaches to
the action of the Nebraska convention
lies In the fact that Bryan dictated It.
Local prldo coerced the populists and
the silver ex-republicans Into line for
Bryan's candidate for head of the tick
et this year ox-Qovuinor Holcpmb ,
who runs In 1899 for supreme Judge.
The platform was dictated by Bryan
himself , arid Is Interesting no showing
what ho wants to bo made the Issues
for 1900. The platform repeats the sil
ver folly of 189G. It makes a frothy
and demagogic attack on trusts , which
his party , when In control of the gov
ernment , never made any attempt to
curb. It makes an assault on national
expansion , and endoavurj to give ale
and comfort to Agulnaldo and His fel
low conspirators by assailing the ad-
mlnlstiatlon for endeavoring to carry
out the provisions of the peace treaty
with Spain In the maintenance of the
national sovereignty In the Philippines.
All this is exceedingly gratifying to
the republicans. They now have a
fair assurance that Bryan will be bait
ed Into demanding a relndarsement
of the 45-ccnt dollar Infamy in 1900.
They cnn sec pretty clearly that he
will tempt fate on an anti-expansion
declaration. There was a fear among
some republicans that ho would be
overruled by the shrewd leaders of the
party , and forced Into nmiunt ; u atran-
dlc on silver and expansion. No dan
ger of this sort now seems Imminent.
The democratic platform of 1900 will
have the same medley of follies and
absurdities as were In the dellver"ance
of 189C , with a few added crankeries
and Imbecilities. Adversity teaches
Bryan nothing. The silliness and ic-
actlonlsmvhich brought disaster to
him and hla aggregation three years
ago will bo icpeatcd next year , and
will bo supplemented by a few more
follies which will add a little to the
majority which will be rolled up
against him and his cause. The west
ern end of bis patry Is as Insane on
the burning issues of the time as It
was In 1890 , and Bryan voices Its
madness as automatically as he did
then.
Can Bryan's ticket cany Nebraska
this year ? The chances arc decidedly
against It. Nebraska's corn crop , ac
cording to the estimates , will be lit
the neighborhood or 275,000,000 bush
els this year. The number of farm
mortgages -which have been paid off
In that state In the past six or eight
months beats all records * in the aanib
length of time. Nebraska Is having
greater proepcilty nt this moment than
it ever had before in all its history.
Its propspority will bo heightened by
the marketing of Its present unexam
pled corn crop. This is .1 bad outlook
for Bryan. He needs calamity In his
business , and there is none of it this
year anywhere In the country. A
killing diouth or frost throughout Ne
braska in the next month or two would
make thousands of votes for him. An
epidemic of yellow fever or Asiatic
cholera would also help him. He Is
doubtless piaylng for some scourge
of the kind , but he will hardly bo grat
ified this year. The prospects for Hoi-
comb are black. The c.mnces are that
the republicans will carry Nebraska
this year and next year.
Tim Trillnt IMutform.
Omaha Bee : The triplicate plat
form upon which Silas A. Holcomb
stands as a candidate for justice of the
supiemc court is an adroit piece of
carpentering more significant for the
planks so studiously omitted than for
the planks that have been projected
to the front. Inasmuch as Colonel
himself-was its chief
Bryan construct
or it was to have been expected that
he would ralllrm the Chicago platform
and give special emphasis to the free
silver plank which constituted the
paramount Issue in the last national
campaign. , It is noteworthy , however ,
that whiletho platform declares foi *
the unlimited free coinage of silver
wjthout the aid or consent of any other
nation at a ratio double the relative
value of the metal , and while the plat
form seeks to free the tralllc. of. the
country from the transportation mo
nopoly by demanding government
ownoishlp by railroads , there Is no
hint oven of government ownership of
the gold and sliver mines that Would
make free silver coinage profitable to
the people instead of the silver mine
owners and speculators in mining
stocks.
It is passing strange also that while
the platform so carefully drafted by
Mr. Br.yan dqmands government pwn-
orshfp of jullroad.3 which ho ' knows , to
boyay off In the distance , it 'is as still
as n mouse about railroad regulation
in Neuraskn. Thd great platform
builder must surely have known that
the triple alliance stood solemnly
pledged to lailroad regulation in every
former campaign a pledge it has will
fully repudiated by the acts of Gov
ernor Hqoomb ) apd the railroad com
missioners appointed with the consent
of the. railroad managers who trnns-
fcried the m6rtgagcs formerly held by
them from the bogus republican com
mission to the sham reform coinmls-
olon ,
The triple platform is very expansive
on natlqnnl Issues.but stecrs clear of
the. 1331198 In .which Jho. people of Ne
braska are most concerned , notably
the revision of'our revdnue laws , the
more cqnltnblo distribution of tax bur-
dfcns and the more economic' ' conduct
of state and county affairs.

Kearney Hub : it has1 'conic to a
great pass when this demagogue and
plotter ( Holcomb ) should be nomi
nated for the supreme court. Indeed ,
it is a most dangerous proposition. A
great deal of effrontery Is required to
do this , after the dubious record made
by "Slippery SI , " after his knowledge
and approval of the ballbt recount
frauds , after his pass-grabbing anil
monopoly-favoring record , and after
his house rent steal and attempted
justification on the ground that lifrf
predecessois had also stolen all that
was left. Such men as Holcomb can
bo tolerated In politics. But the propo
sition to put them Into a judiciary for
long terms Is absolutely startling In
Its brazen political effrontery. If wo
must make tip our higher courts of
such political cattle , chattels or mer
chandise , then may the Lord save the
people , for they are no longer capable
of saving themselves.

Washington Post : The Nebraska
platform , dictated by Mr. Bryan , differs
in words , but not in substance , from
Its Iowa contemporary. In addition to
the general , it has a specific indorse
ment of free coinage. Why thia
change ? Simply becnuse the condi
tions were different. Theie weie three
conventions assembled at Omaha to
combine or coalesce for the campaign ,
the number of delegates to each being
as follows : Populist , 1,289 ; democrat
ic , 800 ; silver republicans , less than a
hundred. How could democrats dic
tate to populists under such condi
tions ? The Chicago Times-Herald ,
looking at the two platforms and the
circumstances under which they were
constructed , says : "Mr. Bryan is thus
accommodating himself to the exigenc
ies as they exist in the several states. "
