The Omaha World-Herald was
Mr. Brvan's personal organ in 1800 ,
f\nd during that campaign it made
tlio prophecy daily that in the event
of Mc.Kinloy's election the depres
sion and distress among the work
ing classes would bo widespread.
The beet proof of the falsity of this
prophecy IH found on the want
pages of the World-Herald. The
last issue at hand contains the advertisements
vortisomonts of two females and
seven males who want situations ,
while on the same page the "help
wanted" advertisements auk for
107 females and 115 males. This
is in addition to the "agents want
ed , " and does not include the ad-
vortiB'Mnrnt for 1,000 men for rail

was a failure in Mr. Bryan's own
State , as it was elsewhere.
TRADb UNDER EXPANSION.
tipuclnl Coiruxiioiiiloiico.
Washington , June , 4th. Senator
Lodge JH one of the most careful
and thorough investigators of the
expansion question in all of its
bearings. Ho has just boon exam
ining the growth of our trade with
Hawaii , and finds that five years
ago , in 1805 , the total Hawaiian
trade with the United States
amounted lo only $11,500,000. Last
year it machod'$33,500,000 , having
increased almost threefold within
live years , and m-jaj. of this increase
has occurred within the paat eigh
teen months.
The Senator says wo may not
think that a business of $33,500,000
amounts to very mu''h , when our
foreign trade is now running up in.
to the billions , but to compare our
tr.vde with the Hawaiian Islands ,
with their handful of people , with
our trade with some of the larger
countries of the world , gives a bolter
idea of the vaulo of colonits to the
United States.
As a result of his investigations
Senator Lodge finds that
Our trade with the Hawaiian
Islands is over 100 per cent larger
than our total trade wilh Austria.
Hungary.
It is 75 per osnt larger than our
trade with Denmark.
It is 00 per cent as largo as our
total trade with Italy.
It is nearly four times as large
as our trade with Portugal.
It is over 150 per cent greater
than our total trade with Russia.
It is almost double our trade with
Spain.
It i 125 per cent greater than
our trade with Sweden and Norway
combined.
It is more than double our Irado
with Switzerland.
It is ten times as largo as ours
trade with Turkey.
It is nearly 30 times larger than
our trade with Greece.
Comparisons with countries on
the American Continent show that
Hawaiian Irado with the United
States is equal lo 30 per cent of our
trade with the whole Dominion of
Canada.
It is nearly 150 percent greater
than our trade with all the Coulral
American states.
It is 00 per cent as large as oui
with Mexica.
It is 50 per cent larger than our
Irado with all Iho British West
Indies.
It is nearly live times as large at )
our Irado with Porto Rico.
It is three tunes as largo as our
trade with the Danish , Dutch and
French West Indies , with Haiti and
San Domingo included.
It IH almost twice as large as our
trade with Argonltno.
It is almost lulf ae laige aa our
trade with Brazil , whence we im
port most of bur coffee ,
It is nearly 400 per cent larger
than our trade with Chile.
it is nearly 400 ptr cent larger
than our trade with the United
Stales of Colombia.
It in nearly fifteen times larger
than our trade wilh Ecuador.
II is more t' an uix limes larger
than our trade with British , Dutch
and French Guiana ,
It is ten times larger than our
trade with Peru.
It is ten times larger than our
Irado wilh Uruguay.
It is more lhan five limes larger
than our Irado wilh Venezuela.
He then makes comparisons with
countries across the Pacific , and
finds thai our trade with Hawaii is
within six million dollars of being
as largo as our trade wilh Iho Km-
pire of China.
It is more than three times aa
largo as our Irado with Hongkong.
It is nearly half aa largo as our
total trade wilh all Iho British ,
Dutch and French East Indies ,
which send UB such largo supplies of
sugar.
It IB equal to 05 per cent of our
total trade with Japan.
It iu more than five times larger
than our lats year's trade with the
Philippines.
It is nearly twenty times larger
lhan our trade with Asiatic Russia ,
It was larger by four million
dollars lhan our trade with the
whole of the i Australaian Colonies
last year , with their five millions of
people.
It was larger last year by more
lhan three million dollars than our
trade with the entire continent of
Africa.
Senator Lodge says Iho increase
iu our Irado with Hawaii has boon
very marked since its annexation
by the United States , and he looks
for equally rapid improvement in
our trade with Porto Rico and the
Philippines. These colonies will
absorb some of our Hurplus in aim-
faoturcp , and they will also draw
upon this country for their provis
ions , thub increasing Iho demand
for the products of American farms
The War Department has again
revised tbo schedules of the Cuban
tariff , to go into effect Juno 15th.
It is oxpootod that this will increase
tie imports from the United Slates ,
as wo now have less than half the
trade of the island.
A previous reduction of the duty
on foodstuffs and livu stock has nol
lessened Iho cost of food by Iho
consumer , so thai no changes are
made in the revision iu the food
duties , except to reduce the duty
on floor from $1.30 to 1 a barrel ,
and on salt cod and stooc fish from
62 to 1.
In view of the necessity for the
construction and reconstruction of
railroads in Cuba , a special provis
ion has been inserted iu the tariff
which allows railroad companies to
import these supplies into the
island for a period of twelve
months from the date of promulga
tion at a rate of . 10 per cent ud
valorem ,
Some few changes have boon
made in tbo froj list , one or two
additions being made , and one or
iwo articles being taken out , and
put on the dutiable list.
The Cuban postal frauds are bo-
idg thoroughly Investigated by the
Administration. Fourth Assistant
L'ostmaster-Goneral Brislow is now
in charge there , and the criminals
will be punished aa quickly an the
law permits.
Brig. Gen. Theo Sohwan's report
to the War Department shows thai
most of Iho large towns in the
Phillippmca arc garrisoned by
American troops. More trouble it *
caused there by the Filipino bri
gands than from any other cause.
The Boer incident wan diploma

Politically the matter is ended juet
as completely as tlio Maorum affair
Secretary Hay soon showed ( ho en
voys that the United Stales Govern ,
monl had not only done all il could
iu the inlereils of peace , but is tin *
only nation lhat has shown any In-
toreiit in slopping the war. The
Boers , in March , appealed to all
European governments and lo the
Unuod States was the only onollmt
complied wilh the requesl , and this
offer from President McKinley , as
the world already knowc. waa de
clined by Great Britain.
Samoa's Irado last year amounted
to about a million dollars , rather
more than half being imports. The
bulk of il was transacted with the
Australasian colonies. The share
of the United Staled amounted only
to 8127,000 , but will now rapidly
increase.
Internal revenue receipts during
the first ten months of ibis fiscal
year were $243,187,210 , an increase
of $10,500,840 over the correspond
ing mouths of the previous fieca
year.
Chairman Kurr , of the Dumoora
tie congressional campaign com-
mttUo , says that he has sent out
practically no 10 to 1 speeches this
year. There is no demand for
silver literature , the subject being a
dead one.
tillAKLESU. DIKTKUUL.
Sketch of the Life of tlio Next Governor of Nc-
braika.
C H. Dietrich , the republican
candidate for governor , is a self
made man , one of those typical
Americana who have fought their
way singlohandod from obscure
poverty to a competence and posi
tion of honor and trust.
His parents were both natives of
Germany. His father was a shoemaker ,
maker who had worked up a good !
business in Iho town in which ho
lived , but on account ol hiu radical
espousal of the cauao of the patriots
of 1848 ho was forced lo Hue from
his native land in disguise. His
wife , with seven small children ,
followed him a year later , but the
father had lauded in Quebec , and
the mother landed in New Orleans.
They were very poor , and the story
of Iheir long search for eaoh oilier
is aa pathetic aa the similar history
of the exiled Acadian peasants ;
After a year ol hardship they
finally mot at St. Louis and logoth-
er workea their way to Chicago.
Hero the father loutul occasional
work at his trade and the mother
took in washing , all the water and
wood used being carried from the
lake half a mile distant.
In 1805 , during a driving storm
of snow which piled drifts deep on
the floor of the wretched home ,
Charles Henry Dietrich , the sub
ject of this pkotoh , was born , and
was baptized in the German Luth
eran church.
The iuduslry and thrift character
istic of the German people began to
conquer adverse conditions and the
circumstances of the family began
lo improve , bat there were many
mouths to feed and at tbo age of
nine Charles begin lo work at any
thing he could find lo do , At
twelve he left school lor good and
worked out among the farmers
near Aurora until ho was sixteen ,
when he went to Si. Joseph , Mo. ,
and worked for the Wyoth Hard
ware company for throe years. He
then returned to Chicago and on-
gaged in the hardware business un
til 1873 , when with a small capital
he decided to remove to Arkansas
to go into business.
But frto ruled otherwise , and
while traveling through that stale
in search of a location ho was sel
upon by robbers , who look every
cent he posapsod and left him in an
insensible condition iu Iho road.
There he was penniless , in a
strange laud , wilh the battle to be
fought all over ; but nothing daun
ted he weul lo work for C. P. R
Breokinridge on a plantation , re
building and repairing cabins and
fences , aflerwards culling cypress
logs in Iho swamps. If any man
imagines that culling cypress logs
all day long utu.er a southern' sky
is easy , lei him Iry it ; but Mr.
Dielnoh remained at it six month ? .
He then went back lo Aurora and
worked at Iho blacksmith trade for
a year.
In Ihe winter of 1875:70 : , wilh
just 1120 in the world , ho nlarled
for Iho Block Hills , He bought
his supplies at Cheyenne and went
to Deadwood on fool , pausing
through llu famous Red Canyon
where HO many people wore mur
dered by the Indiana ,
At Deadwood ho out loga and
helped to build the pioneer store ot
lhat place and for a long time de
livered merchandise for this store
on back of animals throughout the
Hills. Much of the delivery had to
be done during the night to avoid
danger from the Indiana , llu waa
also one of the locators of bpcar-
iiah.
Mr , Dietrich is a man of great
physical strantjtli and courage , and
these two qualities stood him in
good stead during his pioneer ex
perience. Several times bin own
lilc and lhat of his companions has
be ° n saved by the exorcise of Iheso
traits , and , bo it said to his credit , '
ho ia ns generous as ho ia bravo.
Few men perhaps , have endured the
hardships and privations and pass
ed ihrough the thrilling experiences ,
of our candidate.
In 1877 Mr. Dietrich and olhers
looaled the Aurora mine , which
was made famous in the early days
by Ihe many fiuhls lhat were hud
over it and Iho frequent atlempts to
dispenses the original owners.
In the spring of 1878 Mr. Die- }
Irich sold lm siaro to Brown and -
Thumb , bankers of Deadwcod , |
Roscoe Conkling and T. C. Platl , f
of New York , and Senator Spencer , }
of Alabama , for a good round auin , ' "
which guvo him a start in life. Ho
then wont back lo receive Iho reward -
ward of all his privations and in '
May , 1878 , ho married Miss Kliza-
both Slaker. The following Sop-
( ember ho located at Hastings , Nebraska -
braska , and engaged in the mer
cantile biiiiin'ps. In the early days ,
when customs wore docidely primi
tive iu Hastings , Mr. Dietrich
worked in his stcro all day and in
tl'o overling look a wheel barrow
and delivered his goods. From
that time until now he has always
stood in the front rank of these
who Iried to build up their town
and their stale. Ho was inslru-
monlal in organizing Iho Gorman
Nalioual bank of Haslings , of wh'oh
ho is now president. Ho has iven
unsparingly of both time and money
toward all business enterprises
which ho deemed lo bo of benefits
lo his town.
Church and charitable organiza
tions havu .always found in him a
liberal oodtribulor , but the recip
ients of his private bounty pro
without number.
But while Mr. Dietrich is gener
ous , ho is also just , two qualities
that , unfortunately ) 'lo not always
go together.
In 1887 Mrs. Diotiich died , leav
ing lie i1 husband with one child , six ,
years old , who has since developed ,
into beautiful maidenhood , and is
the idol of her father's heart. She
has received her education , first in
the public schools , tlion in convents ,
two years each in America , France i
and Germany. She is now a stud. I
ont at Bryn Mawr college near '
Philadelphia. >
Mr. Diolrioh has never sought
any polilioal office whalover , and ,
his nomination for governor is a '
oaao of the ollije seeking the man.
He is an ideal candidate , a clean
man in every respect , an onthuaias-r (
lie republican , a man of broad , *
practical ideas. If elected ho will
give ua an honest , able and business
like administration.
The Beacon evidently is still a
little behind the times. In ils last
week's issue it was demanding a
correction of the statement made
by several of Iho papers that Con
gressman Neville had drawn Mrs.
Grreou's share ot Iho salary duo
ex congressman Groon. The or-
igiual charge was made by a popu
list paper and copied by a number
of republican papors. But the cor
rection was made in the republican
papers a week before Iho pop papejs
of this county had received Neville
explanation.
