The Democrats prate loudly about
campaign publicity. Republican Ne

Republican State Committee observes
to the letter , while the Hryan democ

" " the law.
and "Cowboy Jim , Ignores
Treasurer Sheldon of the Republican
National Committee declares that he
will publish all campaign contribu
tions received by him ; thus comply

the Republicans , campaign publicity la
now a fact ; with the Democrats , It
IB a promise supported by a failure

The Western Farmer is , in The Best Sense ,
a Business Mnn. He Will Look
A Her His Own Interests
Again This Fall.
Three times within twelve years
fcave the farmers of the west by their
cupport of republican candidates and
republican national policies saved to
themselves and to the country at
large that abounding prosperity which
has placed the United States In the
foiefrout of the nations of the world
in wealth , power and material pro
gress. While other sections of our
commpn country contributed to the
result and lined up to be counted u *
Biippoiters of the policies advocated
by the republican party , the over
whelming nupport given those policies
by the farmers of the central west
was In truth the pivotal Incident of
the last three presidential cam
paigns , rendering to the republican
candidates and policies a sweeping
victory and insuring to thp country
tiitit era of prosperity which has been
enjoyed In tair proportion by every
branch of labor and Industry and in
which the farmer lias had no small
and Inconsiderable share.
There was a time In the halcyon
days of dfinocratio administration , In
the days of democratic rain-bow
I'l-omises , when the term "farmer"
was synonomous with mortgage , hard'
Hhlp and ceaseless work , but happily
U'oso days have passed away under
lopubliean inle and for the change
the western farmer is himself to be
largely credited for his sturdy sup1
port of the sound prlnc-iples of lepub1
lican policy which , while preserving
to him the homo market of the United
States , has opened to the products of
the American farm the markets of
the world Three times within Uie
laet twelve years ; In 180(1 ( , in 1 ! 00
rnd again in 1904 ; has the farmer
been appioached with the wily , de
ceitful and specious arguments and
piomist's of the democratic poli
ticians hoping to entrap him to his
o\sn undoing in exchange for the
painted bauble of democratic suc
cess and to the credit of the Intel
ligence and sound business sense of
Die farmer each of those efforts sig
nally failed of success and the
tiKiiuulturnl intcreals of the west pro-
\ided overwhelming majorities for

the well-fo'unded business policies of
the republican party.
Again in the passage of time the
country approaches the date when it
becomes necessary for the people to
choose and dellnc the national poli
cies which they desire their repio-
Fi'ntatlves In nublln office to follow
:
BANN12R erected by Republicans on O Street , In Lincoln , which was ,
pronounced "offensive" by the Bryanltes and cut down and partially >
burned at midnight of .Inly 8 by Bryan sympathizers , causing $4,000

;
nnd to execute and to select from op
posing ideas and theories of govern
ment the administration under which ,
for the next four years , they will live
and pursue their usual avocations.
The western farmer Is , In the host
fipnse , a business man , and In his
best Judgment as to the effect on bin
interests and pursuits , with proper
reference to the well-being of all
other lines of honest Industry , will he
decide the important question of his
Fupport of policies and parlies. He
must weigh the evidence of past ox
I.crlence with the promises of the
parties and the probability of their
performance and judge with whom lie
will cast his lot and with what party
ho will record his vote. That his de
crMon. intelligently formed and based
on sound reason and established re'
nults , will bo for Taft and the policies
of Iho lepubliean party , goes almost
without saying and is a lenewed
tribute to the foresight and sound
judgment of the western farmer. The
real question before the faymor as
before all the people is : Will ho ex
change what he has , what he knows
he has because he Is In actual pos
session of it
for democratic prom-
Jf-es ? Will ho exchange the garnered
fiultB of the Roosevelt policies and
Uie Roosevelt
accomplishments s
represented In his chosen aad worthy
successor Taft , for the jack-o'-lantern ,
will-o'-the-wisp theories
of a Bryan
whose avowed beliefs have brought
business stagnation , distress , Idleness
nnd low prices on every occasion
when they have
threatened the conn
try ? In short , will he trade Taft nnd
n known future of assured prosperity
for Bryan and a reasonable prospect
of business stagnation and possible1
business disaster ? No oidlnary course
of reasoning Indicates that ho will.
In the year 1S9B the farmers ol
Nebraska were blessed with a bounti
ful crop of corn. On every hlllsidi-
and in every valley the golden ear ?
ripened in the autumn sun , promising
the farmer an unusual reward for hlH
toll. The harvest was garnered and
what the result ? For four years our
nation * ] affaire had been ndmlnls
tered by the democratic party. A
democratic surgery accomplished on
puBrotectivo tariff hod rtmoved
principle of prelection to American
} n'Mstrlos ami our mills and factories
were to a great degree closed and
tnnantlcFH , thontw.uln of consumers of
forhi products thiown Into Idleness
and forced Into the lists of unem
ployed. The homo market of thn
farmer wait to this degree destroyed
nnd as a direct result the bounteous
crop of Nebraska corn was nmrkotod
ul an nvoniRo price around ten-cants'
per bushel a pi-ice below the cost of
production while live stock and other
product ! } of the farm found uu equally
low market. Distress was apparent
and ' real Nebraska farmers were
suffering from the application of
democratic theories and practice ap
plied to the business attaint of the
country. But light cuino through the
clouds and a promise of better things
In store. With the inauguration of
McKlnley In March , 1S97 , the busi
ness of the countiv showed limited ! '
ate evidences of revival and hope and
confidence returned to the farmer , the1
worklngmiui , merchant and manufac-
turor. A republican congress quickly
rostoied the principle of protection
to American Industry to our tariff
Dchodules , the act received Instant
approval of a republican chief execu
tive and the march of . .prosperity and
pi ogress had begun ; a march time
still continues after carrying our
country to the heights of pio-iporily
in competition with the nations of ( he
mitli. Since the days of democratic
theories and practice passed away the
Nebraska farmer has known no ten-
cent corn nor IS.fiO , hogs , his homo
mailed has been bioad and ample ,
tin markets of Iho world have been
opi'iied to him thioiigli wise repub-
'
legislation and administration
find today the Ncbiaska farmer ns n
direct result is a creditor of his fol
low men with ready capital of his
c wn to expand and extend his oppor
tunities , Can any reason be found In
this experience to wan ant the ex
change of Taft and rupiibllr'tn ncoom-
pllHhmentH for Bryan and democratic
promises.
It Is but human to forget the ills of
the past when bettor days come and
to most people and very rightly so ,
the general distress of that period
icmalns but an unpleasant memory.
Yet In the face of the fact that again
the decision must bo made in which
the same dangerous conditions are in
volved It Is but the part of wisdom
lo iccall exactly what they were , their
scope and extent. A conservative
wilter linn since penned the accurate
history of those days In these words :
"Never in American history was the
plluatlon of the American farmer ad
distressing as when the republican
party met in convention In June , 18 %
BuulneKs confidence wns gone , labor
was idle , capital retired , farm values
iihiunken and the sheriff with his
foreclosed mortgage sales the only
active man in rural communities
That convention , planting Itsel
squarely upon the side of natlonn
honor and business Integrity , iioml
nated a man whoso whole life work
was summed up In his trenchan
declaration , "Open American Mills ti
American Workmen. " With Mr
Biyan't ) nomination the Issue was
squarely joined and presented to tlu
American farmer for settlement , onn
candidate offering a debased cnr-
loncy , a cheap dollar ; the other
ptundlng for sound money , protection
to American Indu tries nnd full em
ployment for labor at American
wages.
"Tho vote of the great farming
states of the west elected McKlnley
nnd all the world knows that pros-
torlt > for thi ) farmer followed. "
No American farmer , unpleasant as
'no recollection Is , should ever for
get thoHo dnys and the hardships
hey entailed , nor should ho forget
that relief ( came , not as n lucky
dinnco or Imppy accident , but from
ho deliberate adoption by the Amor-
ca > v0 < ) "le of the principles and
'ollcies of the republican party and
ho election of republican candidates
o InatiRtuato those policies nnd give
to them vltnl force and effect. Good
crops sent by R bountiful 1'rovldenco ,
imrkoti'd at good prices by vlrtuo of
opubllcan policies , ban solvo.1 nil the
bitter and grinding problems of "hard
lines" and all but the lesson taught
by that disastrous democratic expert-
pnco may well bo forgotten. The Ics
i on should remain a permanent am' '
valuable memory to the western
'armor and when tempted through
'state prldo" or specious reasoning to
leuort the ark of his safety for the
niBtnworthy nnd waterlogged craft
mined "Democracy" ho may recall
the good and Hiilllclont reasons for
lofuslng the siren call nnd In 190f ! ,
> a in the three preceding assaults on
us home , his Income and hltt general
prosperity , stand pat for Taft nnd
rihernmn and the republican pollcleu
which have made him independent of
the loan agent , paid his debts , In
creased the value of his lands , made
Mm a creditor Instead of a debtor to
Ms fellow men , and so far as human
agency can control , Issues him a gold'
coin bond of guarantee for continued
Mid Increased prosperity for the four
jearfl to como.
KERB TALKS "CONFinFffiP' '
Dryan'o Running Mate Provides Un
consciously Comic Interview.
An interview given out by John W.
Kotn , diTJiocratlc candidate for vlco-
president , to the Associated ProHH
Kipreseiilatlves at Chicago Is almost
pathetlo In Its element of unconsci
ous comedy. Mr. Kern upeaku seri
ously to the reporter at ) to the "res
toration of confidence , the opening ol
closed mills nnd factories to unem
ployed labor , " etc. , in the event of the
iiiectlon of the democratic ticket ; up-
patently blissfully unconscious of the
historical fact that for a generation
past and most particularly since the
ndveiit of William J. Bryan an the
.national leader of Democracy , the re
mote probability of the election of
the democratic candidates on the na
tional ticket ban In each and every
case destroyed public confidence ,
raiiHe.il business Htngmtllon and re
trenchment and greatly lowered the
price of all farm products until the
threat of democratic success was
definitely past and which , following
Iho enactment of Uie un-American
and Iniquitous Wilson democratic
tariffbill , , actually closed thu doora ol
thousands upon thousands of mills
and laetorlcs throughout the land and
turned a once prosperous army ol
worklngmon out on the streets tc
rwell the ranks of the unemployed
and made the "free Houp house" n
reeoRHiiry charity In every center ol
population and former Industry In the
land.
Not until the election of McKinlcy
was Tin assured and accomplished
fact , accompanied as It was by the
certanty of the early enactment of
a republican protective tariff IMT , did
thn clouds of democratic darkness
begin to part snd the promlne of
McKinlcf to "open the mills and
factories to the employment of labor
rather than the mints to thu coinage
of debased currency" induce an h-
mediate restoration of confidence and
ngaln inspire hope , courage and ambi
tion in the heart of every American
citizen a hope and courage which in
ton short years , aided and encour
aged by the wl e legislation and the
\vlso administration of the republican
party , has carried the United States
to the forepart of the nations of the
world In wealth , power and prosper
ity , a trinity of blessings shared lu
reasonable equality between capital
and labor , between the farmer , the
\vorklnEinan , the merchant and the
manufacturer , spreading in ample
ware over every section of our coun
try , to our remotest borders nnd to
every class and condition of out
people. In the face of those historical
facts , ao recent in our history as
to bo familiar to young men not yet
of voting ago , the democratic vico-
presidential candidate approaches the
people in a newBpaper interview
with a promise of "rcatorlng public
confidence , opening factories to the
unemployed , " etc.
'HiIn Is either unconscious comedy
or hypocritical assurance on thu part
of Candidate Kern nnd the assump
tion that the people have already for
gotten the history and experience of
the last ton years , and the bitter
lesson of the four years preceding
that period , Is to imagine the Amer
ican voter , bo ho farmer , workman ,
merchant or manufacturer , to bo in
capable of Intelligently conducting
his own affairs.
In the Interview referred to Can
didate Kern said in purt to the re
porter :
