It is estimated that the Greater Amer ica Exposition company will have to pay about $130,000 to square itself with the world. Gov. Potnteu has received a check from the federal government for $14,990 to reimburse the state for its expense in mobilizing three regiments for the war with Spain. TnE preliminary report of tbo Philip pine commission, which has just been made public, and will be at least inter esting literature to the popocratic cam paigners, read in the light of this fall's elections. The report is signed by I. G. Shurman, George Dowey, Charles Denby and Dean C. Worcester. When the republican party has been in power in the nation it has gone straight forward in the line of duty, faithfully seeking to know what is best for the country in the way of legisla tion; enacting good laws, and enforcing the same. President McKinley's admin istration is no exception to this general rule, as the opposition are trying to make voters believe. Readers of the Omaha World-Herald will not be slow to know where lies the truth in that notoriously singular news paperwhether in the editorials, or in the advertisements. It is safe to say that men would not advertise for helpers at $235 a day unless they needed them, which is being done in the advertising columns of the World-Herald, while the 'editorials are singing a contrary tune altogether. The British first-class battleship Ven erable was launched at Chatham, Eng land Thursday. She is of 14,700 tons and 15,000 indicated horse power; is 400 feet long, seventy-five feet beam and draws twenty-six feet nine inches of water; estimated speed, eighteen knots. Its coal capacity is 900 to 2,000 tons. It will carry a crew of 775 men. It has two torpedo tubes, four twelve-inch guns, twelve six-inch quick-firing guns, eigh ts twelve-pounders, twelve three pomaders end rapid-fire guns. The deck pieties; is from two and one-half to four inches thick. Ahdrkw R Oleson, republican candi date for district judge, is making a lively end effective canvass for the place and the prospects are excellent for his elec tion. Mr. Oleson is a good example of what pluck, honesty and integrity will do. Only a few years ago he was a poor boy, hauling brick and doing days' work es e common laborer. But he saved his earnings, went to school, graduated at law with honor and has built up a pros perous legal business. He deserves the favorable consideration of the people and welwlieve he will be chosen to the hon orable position for which he stands as a candidate. Fremont Tribune. Ex-Govxxkok and ex-United States Senator Saunders passed to the spirit world et his home in Omaha Wednesday morning last at 4 o'clock. He was con Boiosjs until three or four hours before the end came, and died painlessly. He was born in Fleming county, Kentucky, July 12, 1817. He moved to Illinois in 1829; to Iowa in 1836; was admitted to the bar bat never practiced, taking tether to banking and real estate specu lation; was a member of the Iowa state senate eight years; appointed by Presi dent Lincoln territorial governor of Ne breaks March 1861.

Remarkable Developmemt of Oar Do mestic Iroa and Steel Iaaaatrr as the Resalt ef Gaaralaa: the Heat Market. There is no Industry among the many which arc, so to speak. In digenous to this country which has prospered no marvelously as that of iron and Its various manufactured forms. And there is no industry which Is so greatly indebted to protective tariffs for its development Indeed, without protection the phenomenal progress in this Industry, which has been the wonder of the civilized world during the last 30 years, would have been impossible. For more than two centuries the de velopment of the iron Industry was slow. Not until ten years after the dis covery In 1030 of bog iron ore In Mas sachusetts was the metal converted to useful purposes, and It was not until nearly a century after Its discovery that forges were constructed for the manufacture of nail rods, and a decade elapsed before rolling mills were es tablished. There was, however, good reason then for this slow development. The country was young and sparsely set tled, the inhabitants were devoted more to agricultural pursuits than to manufactures, and, moreover, Great Britain sought by every possible means to stifle industrial progress In the colonies, especially in lines which would be competitive and therefore prejudicial to Iter interests. With the birth of the new republic came a grad ual expansion of this Industry, and in 1777 steel was first made In this coun try. Thereafter manufactures of Iron and steel gradually grew In impor tance. The development of the coun try which followed the construction of the first railroad in 1830 gave n im petus to the railmaking industry, but it was not until 30 years later that the progress became at all rapid. After the close of the civil war there came a marked expansion of our rail road system, but it was not until the introduction of the bessemer process for making steel that the substitution of steel for iron mils was made possi ble. Then followed the extension of railroads in the more sparsely settled portions of the country, which exten sion aided lu opening up many sections rich in minerals, besides affording cheap transportation for ores and the products of the farm. The population of the country greatly increased, thus developing our resources and leading to new and vastly Important discover ies, not the least valuable of which were those of minerals and metals. The Iron and steel industry kept even pace with the development of the coun try, aided by the protection against foreign competition which was afford ed by the tariff of 1SC1 and the subse quent enactments during Republican administrations. But It was not until the opening of the Columbian exposition in 1802 that attention was directed to new and more general uses for steel. There after the demand for structural work had a marvelous effect In stimulating the steel industry, and each year has witnessed enormous additions to the capital employed In iron and steel manufacture. Now, at the close of the nineteenth century, thousands of mil lions of dollars are invested in Iron mines and plants, and we find the world's center of the industry trans ferred from England to the United States, while our manufacturers of iron and steel are successfully compet ing In every quarter of the globe. In this retrospect we have noted the progress of iron and steel manufactur ing irom its incepuon in tne seven teenth to the climax of Its develop ment at the end of the nlnefeenth cen tury. While the industry was unpro tected It languished. Early protective tariffs were measurably promotive of its development, but It was not until the adoption of a general system of protection, which extended to all In dustries and which gave on Impetus to every form of manufacture, bringing In its train highly prosperous condi tions, which, indeed, are always the results of protection wisely adminis tered, that the development became rapid. The baneful effects of the Wilson- XXXXSOOOOOOQS ? purchased, through Jj Gorman free trade tariff were to a great extent minimized In the Iron In dustry, mainly for the reason that this industry had then attained such sturdy growth under the fostering Influences of the protective tariffs of 1861 and 1890 that Its progress could not be ma terially checked. The bessemer proc ess and the later processes had cheap ened the cost of the product; the ex pansion of our railroad system had re duced the rates of transportation; the network of roads which linked togeth er distributing points and far distant producing fields had opened up mar velous deposits of ore of exceeding purity; the Inventive genius of the country bad devised new uses for steel, and the adoption of new process es of manufacture and the use of b bor saving appliances had so far re duced the cost of production that com petition with European manufacturers was made almost possible. The Ding ley tariff of 1807 gave such a tremen dous impetus to the industry that the possibility of successful competition was demonstrated, and the results are shown In the present surpassingly prosperous condition of the Iron and steel industry. The Industrial history of mankind furnishes no parallel to this tremendous development It Is one of protection's grandest achieve ments; u HIGHEST 6INCE 1892. t$ Oar Prosperity Cemaarea With That eC Elsht Yeara Ago. These are prosperous times Indeed when a sinillltAneous advance in the wages of 45,000 men attracts scant public notice and Is dismissed with a single paragraph in the newspapers, And yet the final conference at De troit on Saturday of representatives of the iron and steel manufacturers and the Iron and steel wage committee of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers brought this good news into 45,000 homes. The In crease in the pay of this army pf skill ed workers embodies an average of 2i per cent It Is the largest advance made at any one time In the history of the Amalgamated association, and It will make the wages to? the year "the highest since 1892." "The highest since 1892" this is as Interesting revelation. It seems that that year, when a Republican pro tectionist administration was defeat ed at the polls and Democratic ad ministration committed to free trade was chosen, has stood as the high ws. er mark of wages and prosperity In the great iron and steel industry of the United States.. With the Incoming of an antltariff president .&d an anti tariff congress began a decline In wages and a decline In business, which have only just now been made good by a return to the prosperous conditions of the last year of the presidential term of Benjamin Harrison. Protectionists predicted exactly thla in 1892. They declared then that a de feat of the McKlnley tariff and a trial even a brief trial of the free trade experiment would cost the people dear ly. A majority of the people were deaf to this warning then, but they have since seen it verified to the letter. A revival of protection has brought in due time a revival of prosperity. There Is no gainsaying hard facts like these. It is Idle to pretend that they are mere coincidences. And it is no mere mat ter of chance that not one of the Dem ocratic national committeemen ques tioned just now as to what the next Democratic platform should be not one of these philosophers, who suggest almost every political notion under the sun has. a word to say in favor of an other free trade propaganda. To all Intents and purposes the anti tariff agitation is now dead In the United States. But for the sake of American wages and American pros perity it must be kept dead. Boston Journal.

Will Mr. Have meyer explain how the Republican tar iff is the mother of this trust? Elisa beth (N. J.) Journal Was Prahahlr Jakla. It was powerful reasoning, this of Mr. Havemeyer's, about trusts and the tariff. But he Is a man of keen humor, and probably be waa Joking. New Fork Sua. Caaplain -silky. A splendid audience greeted Mr. Mail- ley at the opera house Friday night to. i. Mm -.wu.lr n kh oiknatinn in tho i hear him speak on the situation in the Philippines. Chairman Seeder of the republican central committee introduced him os the well-known fighting chaplain of the fighting First Nebraska regiment, and for about two hours he entertained tho audience, evidently giving them the truth of affairs as he saw them during his service, candidly acknowledging his own shortcomings politically he went out a populist, returned home a firm adherent to the policies of President McKinley in the conduct of the war. No printed account of what he said could reproduce the manner of it. Such a speaker must be heard to be fully appreciated. One of the very striking things was the singular similarity in substance of a letter written by himself in April last, printed in an eastern paper, and certain paragraphs of the report of the U. S. Philippine commis sion, signed by George Dewey and others, and printed in the dailies of Thursday, the former, of course, looking forward to what might possibly be, the latter giving the deliberate judgment of the commis sion upon events in Luzon and the duty of our government. The chaplain gave unbounded praise to the men and officers of the First regi ment, and explained fully how the Fili pinos brought the war upon themselves. Incidentally he referred VvCoJ. Stot eenburg and said the war had not pro gressed a day when there was" a complete revulsion of feeling on the part of the men of the regiment as to him, and they very quickly learned to admire his courage as a soldier, and to love him as a man, and now his memory is embalmed in the hearts of the men of the First Nebraska forever. He gave some personal history of his course in politics. Three years ago he was pastor of a Methodist church the first preacher they had had who wasn't a republican. He read Coin's Financial School and believed what it said; voted for Bryan, and believed if McKinley was elected the country would go to the dogs. Now, he said he had no further time for calamity howling and howlers. President McKinley tried in every way to avert the war; against the utmost urging; against ridicule from the popu lists; against the cry that he was a coward and all, he withstood until he was ready and then, only as a last resort, did he go to war. Wo have in the presiden tial chair a soldier and a statesman, and "in my heart of hearts," said he, "I be lieve he is right." Admiral Dewey had set the world of political progress in the Philippines ahead a hundred years, and the man who says that Old Glory means liberty here and slavery there, does not know what he is talking about, and is not a friend to his country. He extolled the United States for its magnanimous treatment of Spain after her defeat, and declared that no such generosity had ever been displayed by the conquering nation to a subjugated foe. Ho drew a graphic picture of the difference between the experience of the soldier in our civil war, and ia the Phil ippines, all in favor of the latter, and wound up by saying the fact is that the American soldier is the best fed, best clothed and best paid soldier in the world. By a treaty which the fusion ists finally helped ratify we had acquired "the Phil ippines, and President McK;nIoy was in duty bound to suppress insurrection there the same as if it had been in Alaska or Louisiana. The fact is Mc Kinley does something witboqt talking all the time, while some talk all the time without doing anything. Until congress meets and decides what course is to be taken, McKinley would be liable to im peachment if he violated the terms of the treaty ratified by the senate. We are a happy people; our national treasury is well filled, and it is no credit to a map's intelligence or patriotism to refuse to stand by the administration. He pronounced Aguinaido a jtejf-seek-ing scoundrel, and closed with an elo quent tribute to Dewey, the soldiers, and to American civilization which is destined to be carried wherever our heroes havo died in defence of the flag. A Oesertl Condition. Perhaps no mm no Uviog in the United States remembers a period in our history when business generally was in a more prosperous state than now. It is not a condition of any particular section, either, but of the whole country in the measure of attention to development of local facilities for trade and traffic. The following from the Superior Journal, is one among many such pictures of busi ness as are now common; "Desiring to get at the pea) pulse of business being transacted in this locality, as compared with the business of 1896, the editor called upon the First National bank of this city whose books, under the provision of the national banking law are open for inspection, and found the following record: For the week.endiog Oct 28, 1899, the volume of business transacted over the counter of this finan cial institution was $146,472.15; and the volume of business transacted by the same institution the same week in 1896 was $35,727.311896 was a good crop ye?r and only one bank in town, in 1899 there are two banks." Ralph Pcgsiet, the republican can didate for county judge, is a young man of excellent character, and well qualified as to a knowledge of the law, for the proper discharge of the duties of the office. He was a soldier in the Philip pines, doing his full duty, gaining the esteem of his comrades and the respect of officers. He is a level-headed young man, judicious in thought, word and deed, carefully weighing his words, and placing them with the exactness of rifle balls shot straight at the mark. You will not regret voting for Mr. Pugsley. Bishop William Horn, of the Ger man Evangelical association, says the sentiment of the German-Americans of this country, so far as he knows, favors the suppression of-the insurrection in the Philippines before taking np any other question in relation to them. Bishop Horn is right The German Americans of Nebraska refuse to be led around by the noses by the Aguinaido bosses. They will not be frightened by Governor Altgeld over so-called 'imper ialism," something not contemplated by this government Fremont Tribune. Whex Mr. Towns was here the other ' dny, he had a quotation to make in ara w "e nnanciai situation Europe, how near to a panio they are, and what fearful times they have ahead of them, leaving the inference to be that aira in the United States are in the same plight, which ia not the case. An exchange states the truth in this: "The United States has become the wealthiest nation on earth and today can boast of more accumulated wealth than any other country." There is no iudication of any sort that this country is on the eve of a panic, but on the contrary that so long as the policy of a protective tariff pre vails, with reciprocity trimmings, and sound money, under republican adminis trations devoted to the good of the country, there need be no panic uulesa the party of reaction shonld be placed in the driver s seat and given the lines of direction. Conditions are somewhat similar to those of 1861-5. We have a war on our hands. Many of us have kindred who have gone thousands of miles from home to defend the flag of their country with their lives if need be, and it is the high duty of every loyal American citizen, no matter what his political belief may be, to sustain his government by every means in his power. There is a large element in this country doing everything possible to embarrass and hinder the administration in its efforts to suppress the insurrection on tho island of Luzon. They will not succeed in their purpose, but they may prolong the coming of a peaceful settlement of the trouble, by thus giving aid and comfort to the lead ers of the insurrection, thereby still further endangering the lives of our boys who aro there. If you are a true, loyal, and patriotic American, you will vote to sustain the administration in its efforts to bring about a peaceful and sat isfactory settlement of the trouble. Seward Blade. We used often to hear the statement that the government could never realize anything on its claim against the Union Pacific, but after William McKinley's election to the presidency it soon became evident that something substantial would result, and the other day came this word from Washington, on the wind-up: "General J. C Cowin, special counsel for the United States in its olaim against the Union Pacific railroad company, arrived today and turned over to the attorney general a check for $821,897, received from the receivers of the road, which was realized from pro ceedings remaining from tne assets of the Union Pacific. The government did not expect to realize above $100,000 from the transaction, and the presentation of the cheek for the above amount caused considerable gratification in the office of the attorney general."

Senator Chandler of New Hampshire has some views on Havemeyer's recent declarations on trusts and the tariff. He characterizes the sugar trust boss as a plutocratic Peinoaxat Havemeyer, according to Chandler, is a multimil lionaire Democrat, who, false to bis own party, canuot Influence ten votes. Neither can he influence votes by his money. He will not dare give it to Bryan, and there Is no one else to whom be will dare give It The Republican party Is not afraid that any capital can be made against (be tariff on account of trusts. These exist everywhere, all over the world. In free trade as welj as in tariff coun tries. "The Republican doctrine as It will be enunciated at the next national con vention, which will renominate Mr. McKinley." said Mr. Chandler, "Is that It Is unnecessary to destroy any indus try In this country In order to restrain trusts. We want home Industries, and we don't want trusts. "In order to maintain the home In dustries we must have high tariff du ties against the cheap labor and the cheap products of foreign countries. The maintenance of the tariff as an American doctrine was settled beyond peradventure by the election of Mc Kinley In 189U and the enactment of the Dlngley bill. We are not going to destroy the tariff as a means of check ing trusts." "But bow are you going to Check trusts?' "They can be restrained easily and absolutely If the people and their legis latures and congress wish to do It by suitable laws. There can be no huge and dangerous trusts maintained by partnerships of Individuals. They can only flourish through Immense corpo rations Issuing stocks and bonds. These corporations can only be created by State legislatures, and the same legis latures which. prP$$e them can destroy them. "Without completely destroying them a legislature can limit their functions and powers, can absolutely determine the business in which they shall en gage and prevent them doing any oth er, it can nx ana umii me amount u their capital stock and the bonds which they can Issue. Every state legislature can thus control the corporations of Its own state and with greater or equal facility can restrain or control the cor porations of other states. Congress can control or destroy the transporta tion trust and some others. State leg islatures can do the rest." Senator Warren of Wyoming is an other visiting statesman who bears testimony to the public Interest In the trust question. He says: "In the west the people are begin ning to see that the trust business has been overplayed. It will cease to have Its present terrors by the time the na tional conventions meet The question may figure in the campaign, but It now looks as If It will be too far in the past to have any particular weight In the coming elections. "Out In my section the administra tion's policy with respect to foreign questions is receiving a loyal support Every one Is not an expansionist as that term Is understood, but all jure giving the president a support that In dorses bis policy of maintaining the honor of the flag and the integrity of the government "Generally speaking, the conditions In the west are good. The crops, with exceptions here and there, are excel lent, and the farmer has promise of an abundant harvest I noticed coming through Nebraska that the winter wheat waa a failure, but the con crop la good. Throughout the whole west there la a feeling of contentment and a belief that the brighter days will re main with us. Much of this la doe to wise legislation by the Republican congress, and it will find a responsive echo when the election days come 'The sheep men are just emerging from their depressed conditions. The enormous Importation of wool under , the Wilson law in "Ucipatlon of the Republican action weighted down our American wools and flooded the coun try with foreign wools that came In free of duty. That surplus Is gradu ally disappearing, and, although there still Is much of It In the warehouses. It Is rapidly being used, and the near approach of Its full disapiearauce Is starting the price of American wools upward. Our western sheep men are taking courage, and our cattlemen can only hope that, through the unfortu nate attack on the beef supplies to the army, they will not be made to suffer too long." A third contribution on the trust question Is from ex-Representative Farquhar of New York, a ineniler of the industrial commission. When ask ed what he thought would be the rec ommendations of the commission on the trust question. Mr. Farquhar said that be was unable to forecast It. but be did not see how corporations can be declared unlawful. "Trusts." said he, -are formed for the avowed purpose of cheapening pro duction, controlling prices and regulat ing the output According to the uni versal laws of trade this cannot be de clared illegitimate. The formation of trusts Is nothing more than the out growth of new business conditions in the country. We as a nation are pro ducing, a vast amount, more than we consume, and the combmatlon ts noth ing mere than an effort to get products on the market In the cheapest way. It Is not due to a desire to make more money, but to make as much as was made before this enormous overpro duction began. "If people would, instead of address ing memorials to congress, build up a merchant marine by which the over production of America could be carried and sold to foreign countries there would be no cause for objecting to trusts in the country. In many cases the trusts have proved of benefit to the public at Urge. If the competition be tween rival corporations will lower prices, the public Is glad of It There is one thing In the trust problem which should be remedied, and that is the enormous overcapitalization of corpo rations. It Is responsible for more business depression hi this country than anything else. The remedy for this lies with the state legislatures." A3 TO NEXT YEAR. Brjraa's Bleetlea Weala Ct TUiei ta Vaalaa. The quick revival of business when the election of President McKinley was assured, followed by a steady Im provement along all lines and notably In the value of our exports, should Im press the voters of the country with the necessity for standing by the Re publican party next year. The matter of the war with Spain did not Interfere in the slightest de gree with the steady betterment of conditions, and the unfortunate con flict In the Philippines has no bear ing upon the industrial and commer cial prosperity of the people. It must be borne In mind that the present era Of phenomenal progress has' come un der a Republican administration and largely as the result of a guaranteo that the standard of value could not be attacked successfully for many years yet if ever. The Philippine mat ter can In uo sense be taken as an ex cuse for opposing the retention of the Republicans In power. To make a Change next year would be to Jeopar dise every Interest In the country. The one Democratic administration the presldeut and both houses of con gressthat the country has had since the civil war was a blight upon the nation. Another Democratic adminis tration, with the Bryan element In con trol, would certainly disturb the coun try to an alarming extent The matter of trusts and so called trusts Is prob ably to be taken as the Democratic slo gan next year. But it must be borne In mind that the erase for great corpo rations will run itself In time, and Just as soon as the people cease to make them possible by dropping their money Into the bats of the promoters. Trusts are not the creature of any par ty. They have flourished In free trade England, and they are managed in this country alike by Republicans and Dem ocrats. Party principles have no In fluence upon trusts and overcapitalized concerns pf every description. The prosperity of the present Is largely re sponsible for the rush to secure char ters for companies with fictitious capi tals of millions of dollars. It Is not because the Republican party Is In power, and it Is not because the Re publicans as a body favor such PRemes. We must (akp io fapfs as. they are. Almost Immediately after Cleveland became president for the second time a period of depression set In and con tinued until a Republican president was elected, and since then thero baa been a steady betterment along all lines. If Bryan had been elected In 1808, the country would be In the depths of despair today. If Bryan or any one of his caliber should be elected next year, the good times of today W0u)( vanish- The Bryan element holds control of the peujocratlc party, and It Is the duty of the voters next year, as a matter of self preservation, to retain the Republicans In control of affairs. Wilmington (Del) News. What the Tariff Has Daaa. The tariff has done a great many things, and If it has made trusts possi ble It has done It by making manufac turing in this country profitable for In vested capital. It has made the prof itable investment of capital possible and has made the mill and factory pos. alble. Perhaps that has made vast combinations of capital possible. Sure enough, they would not have been pos sible under any other conditions. The American tariff can account any day for its offenses and without much ef fort Pittsburg Times. 'Dteerctltc Prfcta. The Republican party gave the coun try a protective tariff.
