FIe JftrC«k Fnlmiie. By F. M. KIMMELL. $1.50 A YEAR IN ADVANCE. all home print. The present w arfare on silver is neither prudent nor patriotic. The sub-treasury scheme and the two per cent farm loau fake are now but reminiscences. If confidence is all we need per haps its free and unlimited coinage would be in order, just at this time. The whyfore of the studied and persistent attack on Governor Crouuse by certain republican papers is still somewhat indistinct. The Hastings Democrat thinks that a democratic newspaper, em phasis on the word newspaper, can lie established and mantained with reasonable profit to the publisher— if he is the right kind of a man— in McCook. The Hastings pub lisher is, however, one of the num ber of those who have proved quite conclusively to the contrary. The average reserve held by Ne braska national banks is 28.38 per cent or 3.38 per cent more than the legal requirement. While the New York city national banks are eolleetivly $14,000,000 short of the 25 per cent reserve, and are bolstering themselves up with clearing house certificates of which $35,000,000 worth have already been issued. Speaking of confidence The Tribune fancies that a responsible increase in our circulation—more money being incorporated into the body business—-would do as much as anything else so far suggested to restore that essential article to the perturbed business world. Confidence, after all, must have something tangible and substantial upon which to feed. Governor Furnas is just ship ping 100,000 Nebraska folders to the world’s fair for distribution that are furnished gratis by the state board of agriculture. They are folders that contain the best in formation condensed so as to be read by all and they will do a power of good. The state fair people know the kind of work eounts and they are very liberally supplying the existing vacancy. President Cleveland lias sub mitted his message to congress. It is in some respects a bitter dis appointment, in others a sweet boon. On the silver question the president boldly abandons his par ty and platform, and drops into the single gold standard camp bodily, calling aloud for the unconditional repeal of Sherman’s innocent little compromise, but suggesting no remedy. Tariff reform is esteemed of secondary importance. The pa per has literary worth, but no spe cific remedial value. It is brief. The break in the 100 million dollar gold reserve in the United States Treasurv was the beginning of the financial scare. It precipi tated the alarm which seized the people and impelled them to make runs on the banks and draw out their monev. It gave rise to om inous prophecies in the East which spread fear and apprehension throughout the West. The reserve has now been restored, with nearly a million dollars of free gold to spare and there is more coming. By a very plain process of logic the restoration of the gold reserve should revive and stimulate confi dence. It removes the original cause of distrust and the effect ought to be a speedy renewal of faith in the national credit and the stability of the country’s finances. The country is now waiting, breath less, to see if it will or not. Per haps few will be disappointed if it does not, however. Wm. Weygint, who went to Chicago a couple weeks ago as a representative of the farmers of the southwestern counties to look into the condition of the Nebraska exhibit and to arrange for putting in specimens from the new crop has returned to Lincoln, and tomorrow will go on to the Republican valley. Ue has something to say about the state of things at Jackson park that would make the ears of the commissioner general tingle most uucomfortably should he overhear them. Mr.Weygint will recommend that in case the gover nor puts a good man in Mr. Garneau’s place a large quantity of the products of the southwestern counties be gather ed and displayed as attractively as pos sible. If no change is made he states emphatically that he will udtrecommcnd the expenditure of another dollar on the exhibit, lie thinks the state has been disgraced and that it would be well to be very quiet and inconspisuous during the remainder of the fair. It might be well to give Mr. Weygint’s story in his own words: “I went down to Chicago, as I told you I would,” said the hale old farmer, “to see how the state show was getting on. I stayed nine days and came away ashamed of the state and clean put out gy the way we have been fooled and our money’s been spent. We went to the Nebraska building every morning and back there every afternoon about 4 o’clock, and there wasn’t any body there except the lady that takes care of the register and a janitor or two. There was nobody to tell strangers any thing and nobody to show any courtesies to the visitors. Us farmers, you know, feel a little technical about that—we want to be tieated as well as anybody. Well, we didn’t see a man about the place in all the nine days that we were there that had anything to do with the state or could tell any thing about it. I dont khow where Mobley or Garneau were—If playing dominoes and having a good time, £ guess.” Mr. Weygint wbo is a machinist as well as a farmer is enthusiastic over the fair as a whole. He was particularly pleased with the showing made by the United States in machinery and manufactured products. He considered the American machinery fiuer than any made abroud, and was astonished at the improvements made since he left the shop some thirty years ago. Every part of the fair commanded his admiration except the Nebraska ex hibit. Every time he mentioned that it was with an expression of disgust and sorrow. He will use every ounce of influence he can command in the Repub lican valley to secure the appointment of a competent man to take the place of Mr. Garneau. Strictly for Cash. The very unusual stringency in finan cial circles makes it absolutely necessary for us to adopt a strictly cash basis on which to conduct business in the future, and we fondly hope that our many old friends and customers will appreciate the situation, which is imperative, and will in the future give us their trade, as in the past. We can save you money be selling for cash, as well as protect ourselves. J. A. Wilcox & Son. July 24th, 1893.
