TIIK
Thd alliance people throughout the
stnlo nro aparontly lee busylplannlng for
the pnplttro of the county uourt nouses
lo devote any tlmo to the subject of
erecting storage el vitnr : * for the Im
mense crops of Biiiall grain soon to bo In
the alack. AB n consuijticnco a very
largo proportion of thn aurplui * will bo
thrown from the throshlnumachlnolnlo
Iho market. The rush of grain to Chicago
cage nml other centers from the ontlro
west nnd northwest will naturally tilTei't
the mnrkot ndvorsoly nntl our fnrmors
will lese not loss than $3,000,000or /
want of proper storage facilities. A lit-
llo ontorprlsij on the part of Iho leaders
of Iho farmers' ougani/ullon would erect
opough public elevators lo carry the
surplus grain for weeks and month ? and
glvo the producers the benefit of the
.winter market. Without those storage
facillttoi the Chicago and'St. Louis olo-
valor men will pocket the profit" } unless
Omaha meets tlio situation howolf and
takes a share of the proceeds.
The fni't of a want of storage facilities
in the Interior need not dolor capitalists
from Investing in olovalors hero. On
the contrary , the conditions above out
lined should stimulate our pooplo'lo
grealor oflorls. There is no reason In
Iho world why the greater part of the
surplus should not bo carrlod In Omaha
if Iho storage Is provided. Unless all
forecasts for the future are wrong , the
grain men hero can make the money
which olovalors will cost In this single
Boason 'If they will take all Ihe
grain offered b farmers be
tween this date and November 1 and
sloro ll for fuluro deliveries. There can
scarcely bo a shadow of doubt but the
winter and spring market for broadstulTs
will bo very much higher lhan that
which will prevail when the grain is
moved. The lack of elevator and
granary capacity In the state will force
millions of bushels from the slack
direct lo the cars. If this could
bo stored In Omaha wo could
talco a Iromdndous stride toward
becoming a great grain marlcot this first
season of operation under the now
grain law. All wo need is olova
tors. Wo have capacity now for but
l,2oU,000 bushels. ' Wo need elevators
enough to carry 10 times as much
grain. As Tun Unis looks at It the
question of a grain market hero immedi
ately is simply ono of elevator or storage
capacity.
s or suuniEitif TJMD/ ; .
The agricultural producers of the
United States are largely Interested in
the success of the policy or reciprocity.
The benefit It will bo to them Is the
strongest reason urged in its favor , and
they have unanimously recognl..od this
and approved the policy. In his letter
to Senator Fryo , of just ono year ago ,
Secretary Blalno said : "Tho charge
against the protective policy which has
injured it most is that its benefits go
wholly lo the manufacturer and the capit-
allbt and not at all to the farmer. Here
is an opportunity whore the farmer maybe
bo bonofittcd primarily , undeniably ,
richly bonofittod. Our foreign marlcot
for breadstuffs grows narrower. Great
Britain is oxortingovory nerve to secure
her broad supplies from India , and the
rapid expansion of the wheat area in
Russia gives us a powerful compotltor in
the markets of Europe. It becomes us ,
therefore , to use every opportunity for
the extension of our market on both of
the American continents. With nearly
$100,000,000 worth of sugar seeking our
market every year wo shall pt-ovo ourselves -
solves most unskilled legislators if wo
do not secure a largo field for the sale
and consumption of our breadstuffs and
provisions. " It was the interests of ag
riculture which Mr. Bluino had chiefly
n mind in urging this policy.
Very few persons appreciate the possi-
} llities of southern trade. The coun
tries lying south of the United States
contain a population of nearly 53,000,000 ,
and have a foreign commerce amount
ing annually to $1,200,000,000. The
United States is ono of the very boat
customers of those countries , buying of
; hem annually merchandise to the vnluo
of about $200,000,000 , but tills country
> rovldos them wlfch only a small part of
, holr requirements , our exports to
ill of them aggregating only about
$01,000,000 , thus loss than one-quarter
of the trade of these countries is with
the United States. When the circum
stances and conditions of the past are
consldotcd perhaps it is to bo said that
wo have done very well , but the time
ia como when wo can no longer permit
.hose . markets to bo almost monopoli/od
jy Kuropoan nations , because wo need
, hem and this need will grow stronger
rom year to year.
Reciprocity IB distinctively a ropub-
ican policy. It received no favor
rom the last democratic mini lu
stration. It has boon advocated
) y ' no democratic loader. It
s not supported by the demo
cratic party , though the party is c.vro-
ul not to assail it. It is not expected
.hat . the next democratic house of rep
resentatives will do anything to advance
t. Could the farmers of the country
nako any greater mlsUko , thoroloro ,
than to withhold their support from the
uirty which has formulated and is car-
ylng out as rapidly 113 practicable a
jolloy that promises to greatly widen
, ho demand for their products and nec
essarily assure thorn better prlcos for

T//B 1'OSTAlt SVIiSWr.
Postmaster General Wnnauiakor has
joon autlvo in his efforts to , Interest
capital , and particularly that already in
vested in steamship lines to foreign
countries , in the opportunity which the
; > oatal subsidy bill offers for extending
, ho ocean transportation facilities of the
country , and It is stated that results of
great Importance to the whole country
are in prospect , The postal subsidy law
authorizes the postmaster general to
make contracts with American steam
ship lines for the transportation of the
United States malls to foreign countries ,
and Incidentally , as far as possible by
this moans , to encourage American com
merce ana the building of American
ships. This measure does not go as far
as the advocates of ship subsidies do-
ulrod , but it la oil that It was bollovod
the country would approve , and conforms
essentlallj to the recommendations of
the administration. There is an im
portant difference , which all fair-minded
men rcoognko , between a swooping sub-
uldy system which proposes to pay
bounties to everything that llotits , nnd a
policy of liberal compansutlon for car-
Tying the mails which will encourage
the building of large , swift nnd thor
oughly modern stc unships , as the law
of the last congress contemplates.
If the purpose of the postal subsidy
law shall bo attained this country will
have within the next two years fleets ol
steamships convoying its malls and
products to many foreign ports where no
American ships now go , and bringing
return cargoes directly to our merchants
moio rapidly than it is possible for them
to now obtain such foreign merchandise ,
and probably also at much moro favor
able ratos. The olloctof being provided
with transportation facilities vastly su
perior in all respects to these now at
command could not fall to exert a
most important inlluonco favorable
to the extension of our foreign
trade , tlio uniform tostimonyof the mar-
chants of the countries south of the
Uniled Slates being that thcro Is noth
ing moro nocepsary to the enlargement
of our commerce with these countries
than the possession of our own moans of
transportation of a class able to compete
in every way with the best equipped
foreign steamship linos. It is to the at
tainment of this that the legislation of
the last congress and the work of the
administration are directed , and it is
said that the prospect of satisfactory
results Is very favorable. The mana
gers of the steamship lines with
whom the postmaster gonciral has
conferred have manifested a disposition
to accept the conditions imposed by law ,
and in view of tills an advertisement has
boon issued in all the coast cities for
bids , under the law , setting forth what
mail service is desired to bo performed
by the postoffico department and calling
for offers on the part of the different
steamship companies of the work of
transporting the mails to foreign coun
tries , which they are willing to per
form.
The practical ability of the postmaster
general appears to have boon as thor
oughly dom9iistrutod in connection with
this matter , in which ho has taken a
most hearty interest , as in that of every
thing else connected with Iho improve
ment and advancement of the postal
service , and if ho is as fortunate in
securing good results in this as in other
directions there will bo no opposition
anywhere to the policy of the now law.
Tnu colob ration of July 4 in Portland ,
Mo. , furnished fresh evidence of tbo fail
ure of prohibition. So far as that city
is concerned , according to the leading
paper of the town , there was raoro
drunkenness on that day than for many
years , and the police were kept busy
running in the intoxicated , attention
being necessarily given oniy to the
vicious and troublesome. The police
station was crowded and still the streets
were filled with .the inebriated. The
paper does not say whether the saloons
were open or the pocket peddlers did
the business , nor is it important to
know. The evident fact is that every
body who wanted liquor in Port
land could got it and that hundreds did
got it to an extent to make the day me
morable for the amount of intotica-
tion. Other Maine cities are lo bo hoard
from , b\jt \ this single example is suffi
cient to show that even under the moro
stringent legislation recently adopted
prohibition In the towns of Maine still
fails to prohibit.
THE school board will consider the ap
plications tonight of a largo number of
men who want to bo janitors. " Many of
these seek roappolntmont. They should
bo dealt with solely on their merits as
janilors , nnd the principals of the
schools are the best judges of their effi
ciency and faithfulness. Some of the
candidates , it is bollovod , have boon
compelled lo pay tribute to the "gang , "
with a view to roappolnlmonl. The com
mittee whoso recommendation is neces
sary to the euccess of all candidates for
those places should sift this matter care
fully and see that every appointment is
inado on merit alone.
Nnw YOKIC will wait a long time for
a national political convnntion because
the center of political power Is steadily
moving westward , but the great state
maintains her ascendancy as a religious
center and thocoforo the next mooting
of the Young People's Society of Chris
tian Endeavor will convene in Now York
city. This religious organization by
the way , has larger conventions than
any political party and remains in session
fully as long. Verily they that bn good
have their reward. Now York has the
largest number of Endeavor societies in
Iho union and is clearly entitled to the
1692 convention.
MR. GIIAULHS WOOSTKII of Silver
Creole is technically correct in saying
the alliance loaders have no authority
of alliance law for expending alliance
funds for political purposes , but the fact
is they have expended largo sums and
nro gelling ready for slill larger PX-
pondituros , right or wrong. It is this
frigid fact which republicans must face
and it cannot bo cheerfully or success
fully faced with empty pockets.
OHARUB J. GIUKNtho glftod attor
ney of the Burlington railroad , makes

and adjacent states In the matter of
freight rates and until she is the people
will continue to demand their rights In
this particular.

St. Louis Ropublio : If Mr. John Q.
S'lcolay requires so many popular volumes in
which to toll what ho supposed himself to
enow about Mr. Lincoln , It Is appalling to
blnU bow many volumes would bo required
o toll what ho does not know.
Indianapolis Jonriial : There was no good
reason why Colonel McClure should have
stated that Mr. Lincoln did not wish tbo re-
lomlnatlon ot Mr. Hamlln in 1801 , but when
10 bad douo so bo should not have been so
very angry whoa another , whose opportuni
ty may have been us good as bis , denied
hatjiuch was the caso. Now that Mr. Cook
ms said that his understanding was that Mr.
Lincoln wanted Mr. Humlln , and tuut the

understanding , tbo weight of evidence
seems lo bo against Colonel McCturo.

Chicago Tlmos : "Indignation caused by

1'lilladolphln Bulletin i Johnson's personal
weakness , together with his democratic rec

own personal judgment nnd In deference to
the wishes of Ibe president.
Globo-Domocittt : There is no. historical
necessity , lhat is to say , for discussing and
adjusting such a question , but the chances
are thai Colonel McClure Is right , and that
Hamlln was not renomlnatcd because Lin

Chicago Herald : The pseuilo historian
has shown In a verbose and scattering
chronicle that ho did not possess the intel

secretary during a great epoch in national

The contribution that might bo made to tbo
subject by the editor of tbo North American ,
familiar from his boyhood with the discussion
ot Iho political events of that period by those
who were onlclolly nnd unoftlcially in the
confidence of Mr. Lincoln , would have only
tbo value of hearsay. But the readers of the
North American may bo assured that at a
time when the friends of Mr. Lincoln
deemed it to bo imperative that his bands

Fimdfl Coming West to Ilolp Harvest
tlio Crop.
Naw YOHK , July 13. The Tribune thu
morning says : The weekly bank statement
indicated an unexpected movement of money
to the west. JTuo first shipment rendered
necessary by the harvesting of the crop wns
made last week. It Is impossible to predict
the extent of tha movement or its offoot upon
the local money market. So far as demand
loans were concerned , rates were oven easier
than they had boon. They rangoa from
"
® i per cent , and the average for the
was probably not over 3 per cent. There was
very little demand for tlmo money , but the
offerings were oven loss except for short peri
ods. For nlno months or it year no loans
could bo.ncgotiatod i\t less than 0 per cent ,
and then only on high grade securities. The
only shipment of gold In tbo week wns
$500,000 on Tuesday , but bankers were uncer
tain until the very la t moment that they
would not bo oidercd to ship specie by Sat
urday's steamers. It Is popularly supposed
that the outflow of gold has ceased and the
increasing exports of merchandise , princi
pally wheat , will bo followed necessarily by a
return movement of specie. Admitting that ,
tbo latest sulpmcnts have boon bv n private
ngicomont with the Bank of Franco , tbcie is
n tolerable certainty that within the next
throe months there will bo imported nt least
510,000,000 of gold. On the hypothesis that
the 4) ) per cent bonds will result in increas
ing tbo national bank circulation by
$15,000,000 , the money market will bo
strengthened by the Ilrst of October by from
$10,000,000 to O.OOO.OOO. Whether tills will
bo sufllctont to moot tha requirements of the
west for tlio movement of the abundant crops
can bo determined only by the ovont. Bonks ,
las well as private capitalists , ore fortifj
themselves in every possible way and tM
action which is conservative and prudent ,
may prevent tbo monetary crisis which they
evidently fear. The exports of merchandise
caused n fullar supply of commercial bills ,
which was reflected in lower rates for foreign -
oign exchange. At the nnd of the week the
market was a little steadier , closing at $1.8 , " )
and $1.87 for long nnd short sterling bills re
spectively.

"The main purpose of my Journey to this

tion of tbo abolition cf tbo present restriction
of American hog products from Kuiopcnn

scoiilo examination , as I found it in use , Is
satisfactory , and If they continue to execute
this law In the same manner In which it Is
now being observed , the tlmo will not to
very distant when , In the opiuon.pf ! exnoits.
the restriction policy will bo abandoned nnd
American pork will bo free to enter Gorman
and other foreign markets.
"This , with a u'ood harvest In America nnd
the very highest price demanded for any
kind of meat in Europe , will result bcnr
flclally to both countries , nnd the American
farmer getting good prices for his stock nnd
the Got man laborer obtaining cboanor meat
of good quality. I am making a special study
of the matter in all its phases In this city an I
