As both. the democrats and
populists will have presidential
. lectorial tickets in Nebraska
his ear it wIll give a fair test
'of. the strength of 'cach party.
The braska _ Farmer has purchased - ! .
chased the . Soil Culture of n. W.

papcrs. The Nebraska Farmer
is the best farm paper published
for Nebraska farmerd. The con-
olidation of. the two l > apers.
w.hich will contain a soil culture

the value of the paper and it
should be in every farm home in

The prominence given to the
. tariff in the' democratic platform
anQ the open declaration in favor
of a tariff for revenue only , and
against 'protection , cmphasizes
the importance of that issue , and
affords ground for the ( lcc1ara-
tion by prominent public men
that this is the .most important
of them all.
But the real issue of the cam-
.paign isnot.a'uy one Qfjl1escand
.the verdict of the people will not
be given upon anyone. of hen.
though they all may be consider-
ed. Thc question , to be judged
by the pople : is that of rep.1.tQi- }
can performance versus democra-
ti promiserepub1i ; an principle
versus demoratic inconsiste cy ;
republica success versus democratic -
tic failure.
. Everyone lcnows what .the re.
publicans have done in the ad.
ministration of the govern.ment.
There is no evidence that tht :
democrats could o any better.
There is abundant evidenct
that they could not do nearly se

-Beacon , August 4. '
. . "This a sickly attempt to de
ceive the people of th count
'
into the belie ! that taxes in Cu
ter county will be lower for 1904
than for 1803 , when , as a matte
of fact. the people will have t

third bel w th Jl vy.of 1ast year ,
made , this statement.
N
When the RnpUUI.ICAN says
that taxes will be .lower under
the new revenue law , it belies
facts.Ve repeat our prediction :
liThe assessmcnt roll of the
state will be very nearl.v doubled
while , relatively the assessment
of railroads will be decrcascd. "
It is such wild : md unfounded -
founded statements that has
got the Beacon in bet water.
Rather thatl to pursue the honorable -
orable course and frankly ac-
Imowledge it was talking under
its hat for political bunCOU1e
ahout someth ng that did not
materialize it now is making a
sickly effort to maintain its
false position.
As a matter of fact the property -
erty valuation in the state exclusive -
sive of railroad property has only
been increased 54 per cent. while
railroad property has been increased -
creased 70 per cent. In neither
case was the assessment doubled.
. nor . was the assessment of railroads -
roads decreased. Instead of the
property of Custer county being
raised by the state board of
cq4 lization , Custer's assessment
was allowed to stand as made by
the assessors and county board
and the assessment of other
counties of the state were raised
or lowered as was required to
equalize them with Custer coun-
ty. While the average increase
.of the statc is 54 per cent , Cus-
ter's incrcase is less than 25 per
cent above last year. It was
shown to the state board that
Custer had formerly paid more
than its porportionate share.
hence the difference in the per
cent of increase in Custer's favor.
, Should there be $1,600 or $2,000
more raised in Custer county
than last year , the additional
tax will not be borne by the individual -
vidual property owner of Custer
county. The increased 'valua-
tion of railroad and corporation
property of the county will produce -
duce 'a much larger tax than the
additional required. As a matter -
ter of fact , as we have before
stated. with the state levy twc
mills less than last year and tbt :
county levy four mills less nc
man's taxes will be as high on
one-fifth valuation as it was las1
y ar on a one-fourth valuatiOl
unless-'fle has more property thaI
4e had last year or it has in
creased in value. The Beacon' :
attempt to make political capita
outof the new revenue law fall
very flat in the face of facts , ani
no one knows it better than th
Beacon. But it is short of a
issue nnd feels it must do sOlm
thing to keep its readers frol
seeing the true situati'oll.

"It is just as I have been telling -

Watson described the Democracy
