[ Applause. ] "lct mo state the condition of the export radoln nnothcr form. The exportation of agricultural products In IS99 was about JT.OO- 000,000. Of tills sum f 338,000,000 , was Of col on j $104 000,000 was proUslonsj the expor tation of brendstuffs na fli'1,000,000 ; the re mainder was nrulo of tobacco , cattle , sheep , etc. The export of wheat In 18S9 was 40,00)- ) OOO bushels , flour. O.OUiMKWbusliel ; corn , 05- 000,000 bushels , It will bo seen that the imout of corn exported lostycnr waH not 0110- inlfof tlio com crop of thcstatoof Nebraska. 'ho cntiro wheat exportation was oulyabout hrco times the wheat cropof Nebraska. Wliat s tlieremedy forthiscondition ot affalrsl The remedy vhlch 1 would suKgeit to the farmer ns the only true solution of this problem is to ncroaso the number of consumers This s a simple matter when understood. Let mo state in n simple form. The whole amountof sxportation of agricultural products , Includ- np cotton and llvo stock , as veil as grains andbreadstufffl , Is only equal to about 10 per : ontof thoontlro productoftho farms , Includ- nffllvostock. Ills apparent , therefore , that If vo could Increase the present population of the United States 19 per cent xvithout In creasing the number of farmers , wo would onsumo all that wo ralso la the United State ? and wo viouldhavono concern about a foreign market. 'Jen per cent of the popu- ation of the United Slates would he 0,400,009 people. If we could today add 0,400,000 , wco- ile to our population and not Increase the lumber of farmers , wo would have soiled ho problem. The population of , his country has Increased o\cr thirteen million in ten years. At this rate of growtn wo will add to Amcr- ca with In five years a sufllcient number of icoplo toconsume nil of our surplus farmpro- lucts. If we could within ono year transfer 1,000,000 of tbo fanners to manufacturers , they with their families would make asulll- cient change in the relative situation of the farmers and the manufacturer to consume the whole American product. "Let mo state It in a little more favorable form. It will ho observed from the data Heretofore tfU'cn that the whole amount of thoexpoit of wheat , flour and corn is only equal to about ,1 per cent of the American product. If , therefore , wo could increase the population of the United States 5 percent , or } ,2W,000 people , without mnreaslng the num ber of persons who rnlso wheat anil corn , vo would consume all the American product mid have , no concern about a forolRn market. Is it not self-evi dent from this statement , that the true wel fare of the farmer depends upon a hi'h. ( tarill system , which will put a stop to the Imimrtatlon of all manufactured goods which can bo manufactured in America , so as to In crease the number of epiiMimors of the farm product. And therein lies the remedy apalnst an over-production and lower price for tlio Nebraska farmer. "In order to talco advantage of a foreign market ills necessary that wo should have a merchant marine. The man at the plow han dle is nioro deeply concerned In the restora tion of American shipping than any other one of our fellow citizens. The farmer must ovn a wapon and n pair of horses , to haul bis pram to the warehouses orralHvay station. Ho roust have railways to carrv Hint praln to Chicago or Now York Ho Is likewise cquallyinterested thatAmerica shall lia\oshipj to carry our pralu from New York to Liverpool. Under the obstructive policy of the democratic party .American snips have heen swept from the sois as by a cyclono. Wo nre now paying annually $150,000,000 $ to foreign shops for the transportation of our products and passengers across the sea. It is the policy of the republican paity torestoro our shipping Interests. To accomplish this purpose a republican senate has passed a bill providing a subsidy for the building' ofAmer- caniron steamships , The democratic sena tors , true to their democratic Instincts , and in direct conlllct with the interests of the farmers of this western country , opposed the steps taltea torestorothoAmerican merchant marlno. Every candidate for congress on the democratic or alliunco ticket in thostato of Nebraska , if elected , would veto against the pass.igo of this bill when It shall reach the house of representatives , I would like to have It so tint American ships , under the protection of the American flag , should carry all the export tradoof America to the other countries of tbo world. I would like to have It so that when an American citizen visits France , Germany , Ireland or England , and Is about to return home , ho shall be greeted by a vessel floating on me eastern shores of the Atlantic ocean , with the stars and stripes floating at Its masthead , to carry htm across the seas to the country where liberty was born. I would lllto to have American vessels sailing ; under the American tlag , become the masters of the great deep , Juat as the United Stutos has become ) the mot productive , country of the world. I Ap plause ] lion. James E. Boyd and Hon , W. J. Bryan and other campaign orators aio telling tbo farmers that the tariff is a tax and en hances the value of all aiticlcs upon which It Is placed. Let mo illustrate the falsity of thi * statement. Last year them was a tariff on corn of tciicontsa bushel. If tint tariff increased the price of corn ten cents a bushel It added to tbo valuoof the corncrop$14,000- 000. There was a tariff of twenty cunts a bushel on wheat , which would "havo In creased the valuoof tlio'wheat crop 3HtKfUO. There was a tariff of teu cents a bushel on eaU which would have increased the vuluo thereof $1,090,300 , thus saving to the farmers of Nebraska over 5 0,000,000. , "Why , If that proposition Is true , If the tailff on corn had been repealed , Ilio com crop Uiatjuar would have boon worth about a cents u bushel or less than the value of cobsalonel ( Applause. ] Jlr. Webster then proceeded to clve many illustrations of the effect of the tan IT on many articles consumed by the fanner , and also to show by the building up of certain speclllc manufactories hundreds of thou sands of neoploworo given employment , and weio thus undo consumers instead of pro ducers of agricultural products , Using the linseed oil works of Omuhaas an Illustration ho proceeded to show how institutions might bo built up In tuostutoof Nebraska to consume the products of the farms , bringing into the state millions of dollars , und thus do a ay lth tlio excess ive production of corn , und thus establish permanent prices. Ho tticn argued that no purely agricultural country ever built largo cities or extended lines of milvay or achieved grent wealth. Ho illustrated this by a comparison of tlio state of Connecticut with tUo state of Missis sippi and by a comparison of tne purely s irl- ; cultnral states of the south with the nianu- fncUirmi , ' states of the north , ns to their cities , railroads and \alucs of farm lands. Ho closed this branch , ot the subject as follows : ' 'I ' would have thostato of Nebraska not only suirounded , but dottcil all over with mimiifiicturluelustltutlons. Jltho .American protective policy of the republican partyshall continue Iu force this condition of affairs will bo brought about vlthln fifty years.

" With regard to the conferring o ( ranks for a less sum. than the minimum flved by the grandlodgofor the government of subordi nate lodges , the gruiul chancellor submitted the following decision for the action of the gmnd lodge : "Tour grand chancellor hns held that whilst a subordinate lodge is wortlnp as such with a special dispensation from the erand chancellor- fees should bo nt least { . ' 0 for the three r.mks. Further , that the grand chancellor , if ho dooms for the best interest of the order , may prant a dispensation to re duce the fees for the three ranl to { 10 to the minimum fee fixed by tbo supreme lodge , "Further , you grand chancellor holds that whilst a lodge is being Instituted , until It re ceives its dispensation , It is acting ns a grand lodge , and that the pwud chancellor or his deputy may confer the tlneo ranks for the sum of StO , and even less if ho receives a dis pensation from tlio suprptnechancellor. Your grand chancellor quotes as a precedent thi acts of past supiomo chancellors In granting dispensations for the institution o ( lodges for less than $10 , the minimum tixedby the su preme lodse.
