As bolh the democrats and
populists will have presidential
. lectorial tickets in Nebraska 1
'this year it wlll give a fair tes1
'of the strength of each party.
The Nebraska Farmer has pur
chased the . Soil Culture I' of H.V

is the best farm paper publishcl
for Nebraska farmers. The con

w.hich will contain a soil cultur

should be in every farm home i

The prominence given to t1
.tariff in the democratic platfor
and the open declaration in fav ,
of a tariff for revenue only , al
against 'protection , emphasi2
the importance of that issue , a
affords ground for the dec1a1
tion by prominent public In
that this is the .most import " -
of them all.
But the real issue of the ca

the verdict of the people willI
be given upon anyone. of hE ;

When the " " RHl'UDJ.1CAN says
that taxes will be .lower under

facts. We repeat our prediction :
"The assessment roll of the
state will be very . nearh 0 doublad
while relatively the assessment
of railroads will be decreased. "
It is such wild and unfounded -
founded statements that bas
got the Beacon in hot water.

As a matter of fact the prop'

, Qeen increased 54 per cent , whit
railroad property has been il1
creased 70 per cent. In neithe
case was the assessment doubled
o per was the assessment of rar
roads decreased. Instead of th
property of Custer county bein
raised by the state board (

was allowed to stand as made 1 ;
