A. C. WANNER, Falls City. Neb Farmers Prosperous A very strong follower of Win. J. Bryan eiune into the implement establishment of one of Burt county's thriving towns one day lust week and purchased a lumber wagon for which he paid Sd) rash. After paying for it In* remarked: “Let’s see, didn’t I buy one of these same wnirons of you a little over fourteen years a^o for The dealer replied, “1 think you cid.” “Tlmt shows what the trusts are doing to the farmer,” Hsid the purchaser. The denier studied a moment and said: "If you remem ber you hauled me btlO bushels of corn to pay for that wagon, too, didn't you? Now if you will haul me hOO bushels of corn this week or next l will let you have this wagon, give you a new two seated carriage, a uew two seated spring wagon, n cream separater and give you back the $70 you just paid me.” The farmer had nothing more to say. He went out and hitched his team to the new wagon anil drove home to get another load of 60 cent corn.—Omaha Bee.

CLARENCE DINGLE SALEM NEBRASKA TO THE PEOPLE OP NEBRASKA: ! submit for serious consideration the following statement show ing what the republican party under the present administration has done In Nebraska since 1906 for good government and the public wel fare : Reduced the state debt from $1,917,000 to $600,000. Reduced passenger fares to two cents a mile. Reduced expre. s rates 25 per cent. Reduced freight rates on grain, live stork, fruit, lumber and coal 15 per cent.

Enacted a state wide primary law requiring political parties to nominate their candidates, Including congressmen and United States senators, by direct vote of the people. Controlled railroads and ilxed rates through the railway commis sion. Put nn end to rebates and discriminations in transportation of freight and passengers. Compelled the railroad companies to get permission from the railway commission before changing rates. Established the right of the state to enjoin corporation from vio lating state laws to the Injury of the public. Placed telephone, telegraph, express and street railway companies under the supervision and control of the railway commission. Htopped the sale of short-weight packages and adulterated food, by enacting and enforcing the pure food law. Increased the rate of Interest on state funds deposited in banks one per cent. Increased the state revenue by foes imposed on foreign and do mestic corporations $40,000. Increased tho rate of interest on bond investments of the perma nent school funds one-half of one per cent, or $10,930 a year on invest ments since January, 1907. Abolished speculation In unpaid state warrants and increased the permanent school funds with the interest thereon.

Taro has been taken to have the laws of the state properly ob served. and caution has been exercised in the use of executive clem ency. This is the record briefly given of legislation and administration during the last two yeai'S, through the republican party. All this has been done In the interest of the people of this state. The republican party continues to stand for those things, is legislation and adminis tration which will promote good government and prohibit any person or corporation from enjoying special privileges at the expense ot the public. Our concern is to deal with all questions as they arise in a way that will best promote and conserve the general welfare of our state. There shall be no retreat. I ask that the record of the republican party of deeds done in this state during the last two years he placed for consideration beside tho democratic promises of the past and the present, and atipeal to the people of this state to stand by the new deal and for the party and the men who steadfastly with honesty of purpose and without malice have done so much for the common cause of good government. OKOItdE LAWSON Si! -.1.DON. 0 If the Pocket-Book is to Remain Filled The Farmer Must Protect it With His Vote The farmer vote has always been the backbone of republicanism. New York state has always been a pivotal state. New York City has always been democratic. The Tammany tiger has dominated the cttv. Re peaters, and other fraudulent prac ticos. have kept the big city demo cratic. What the state would do has depended upon what the honest farmer rote of the up-country did, aad this Influence has nearly ulwaya favored the republicans, so that only 4wi«e In forty-eight years have the democrats won. The great agrricul tiiral states of the west have always been Gibraltar* of republicanism. This year, more than ever before, In the history of the country, the fanner finds reason for supporting republican policies. He never was so prosperous. Never did ho receive such high prices for hfs products of every kind. He will therefore, not vote for a change, for he doesn’t want a change. The Tribune herewith gives some figures that contain overwhelming arguments on the farmer's side showing why he doesn’t want a change. The farm value of the corn, wheat and oat crops of 1907 wa* TWO AW ONE-HALF TIMES LARGER than of the same crops of 1896. In 15*07 they were worth $? 258,000 Q0« and in 1896 they were we i $943, 000,000. The value of the corn crop alone for the four years of the 'first Cleve land administration (1884-88) was | $2,570,000,000. for the next four ' years under Harrison, $2.8.31.600.-: 000—an INCREASE of $261,000,000; for the next four years, under Cleve land again. $2.182,000.000—a DE CREASE of $649,000,000; for the next four years, under McKinley. $2,434, 900,000. an increase of $232,000,000. For 1907 alone the value of the corn crop was the enormous sum of $1,337,000,600. Four years of thai kind would make it worth more than $5,000,000,060, or more than twice as1 much as for any previous four-year period. Let the comparison be reduced to • simpler form, involving merely prices, and not the incomprehensible figures showing total values, and the matter of the farmer’s present splendid condition becomes the more easily understood. Taking Fremont, Neb., prices as a fair average for all Nebraska inland markets, as quoted in the Tribune for the date of October 10 in three dif ferent years the contrast is so marked as to lie startling. Fremont prices Oct. 10, 1890: Wheat .39 Corn .12 Oats .10 Hogs .$2.65 That year Candidaie Bryan said: “1 cannot understand how a man liv ing upon a farm can be deluded with the idea that the gold standard has anything but misery and suffering tor him. Haven’t you independence enough to leave your party in order to save your homes and your families from the gold standard?" Fremont prices Oct. 10, 1900: Wheat .59 Corn .30 Oats .18 | Hogs .$4.65 That year Bryan for the presiden cy again and prices of farm products i going up steadily. But that year imperialism threatening to "change the form of our government,” as he \ said, and no more 4fh of July cele brations if the democrats lost. Fremont prices Oct. 10, 1908: Wheat .89 Corn .66 Oats .40 Hogs .$5.60 This year “Shall the people rule?” Bryan again, and the farmers get ting 550 per cent more for corn, 280 per cent more for wheat, 400 per cent more for oats, 210 per cent more for hogs than they did under : the last democratic administration j when 'cyan warned the far’.-.ers they would go to ^the poor house if they didn’t elect him president. The farmers know they are a long j ways from the poor house. Neither i the gold standard nor imperialism I has captured their home or their j tamilies. They know their safest 1 course to be in supporting Taft and the policies under which they have prospered as never before.—Fremont Tribune.
