PLKASK remember that the tariff robs the people bocaujo "It Is always added to the cost to make the price. " Stool billets sell in England for $20.00 per ton ; with the tariff ndded the price hero would bo $29.01 , but every man who has road the Homestead hUtory knows that the price of utool billets hero la now $22 , and not $20.01. And the average wages of the worklnginon.who produce them in England Is 81 per day and hero it is W per day. That is another way "tho tariff Is robbing tlio pooplo. " GOVKUNOU MntU5TTn of South Da- Icotii says that his state will go republi can by from 10,000 to 1C.OOJ majority. There nro about 80,000 votora in the ituto , nnd of this number nt least -10,000 nro republicans. A decreased Indepen dent vote is confidently predicted and it Is believed that the republican vote will bo much larger than the figures given. Many who nro now classed as democrats nnd Independents wttl quietly go to the polls nnd east thulr. votes fpr the safe nnd tried principles represented by liar' rUon nud Hold , Chairman SpaulUlng of the North Dakota republican Btato committee also makes a favorable re port for hia Btato , IIu oxpouU a ropub- Unin majority of ubout 8,000. TUB HT.tXnAIW BiSAflKtt Tho"ropubicin9 ( of Nebraska have nnxlousty watched the canvass that has for seine weeks boon In progress In this city nnd county ( As goes Douglas county so goes the state of Nebraska this year was the universal sontlmont. Douglas county has apokon Her dele gates will go to Lincoln instructed and pledged lo cast ninety-four voles for Lorenzo Crounso on every ballot until n nomination is mado. This decision has boon reached after mature deliberation. It Is the consensus of opinion of the republicans of Douglas county that Judge Crounso will poll from 10,000 to 15,000 moro votes In Nebraska than any ether man tint could bo nainod nt this time. With Lorenzo Crounso ns its standard bearer , and a ticket inndo-up of clean , capable men , the party will bo invincible in the present campaign. It now remains for the republicans of Nebraska lo divest themselves of all sectional prejudice nnd personal pre ferences and join with Washington , Douglas , Savpy , Burt , Antelope and ether counties that hnvo already ex pressed a preference for Judge Crounso nnd tender him nn unsought nnd un- bought nomination by acclamation. KVROPKA.X HAISVKST. It will bo welcome news to the farmers of this country that the outlook for n good European market for American whoatMs improving aa the foreign crop returns come In. A prominent London grain dealer expresses the opinion that the wheat crop in England and on the continent of Europe will fall below that of last year , with the possible exception of Austria and Russia. In Franco the harvest is poorer than it has been for < years , nnd in Italy and along the Medi terranean it is not much bettor. In India the crop is below that of lost year , while Australia is said to have no moro than nn average yield. In England nnd on the continent the stocks of whunt on hand are not largo. Considering Hint this country was a great gainer by the shortage in the European wheat crop last year , It Is en couraging to learn that a still smaller European crop is looked.for this year. Such a stuto of things has not boon an ticipated , for short crops in foreign countries ns well as hero nro usually fol lowed by plentiful ones. Wheat Is now nt a low figure in antiolpxtion of a re duced foreign demand this year , but if that demand is to bo as great as it was last year the American farmer will cer tainly have a good market and fair prices. The American harvest is gooJ , and our surplus of wheat would neces sarily bo largo if the foreign demand should bo light. The reliability of the reports from abroad will have to be con firmed before Iho homo market will bo affected. . If there is a wheat shortage In Europe this year its effect will bo felt by the corn growers of this country quite ns much 'as by the wheat growers. This was the case last year , and now that the European nations have acquired a moro thorough knowledge of the value of American corn as an article of food there will bo a still larger demand for. it as a substitute for wheat The masses in Europe nro poor and cannot allord to buy wheat. They did not buy It last year to anything like the extent that was expected , and they are no bettor able to do 'so now. Therefore a wheat shortage in Europe may bo depended upon to improve the corn market us well as to sustain the price of wheat Fur ther advices as to the European harvest will bo awaited with keen interest by the farmers of America. T1IK SOU'in AND TlltiPEOPLK'S PARTY. The west ha < 3 long led the south in in dustrial enterprises and in everything that pertains to advanced civilization , but , now that the people's par.ty has setup up the claim that the south is on the verge of disaster and ruin and is in need of the panacea which it offers , it is in teresting to note that notwithstanding the disadvantages under which it labors the south ia doing remarkably well un der the present order of things. In the list of now enterprises for the week ending July 29 , the Baltimore jtunH/ucturera > Record mentions the fol lowing as some of the nuro important items : A $2-3,000 silver plating com pany at Baltimore , Md. ; n $125,000 wnlorworiw nnd light company nt Mon roe , La. ; a $30,000 oil and fertilizer com pany at Millodgeville. Ga , ; n $15,000 cottonseed refining and manufacturing company ut Now Orleans , La. ; a $10,000 lumber . manufacturing company nt Rome , Gn. ; n $40,000 cotton and woolen mill company nt Marble Falls. Tex. ; a $00,000 ice , water and power company at Yoakum , Tex. ; a $20,000 ice manufac turing company at Brinkloy , Ark. ; a $20,000 publishing company at Balti more , Md. ; a $50,000 grain milling com pany tit Whltacro , Va. ; u $200,000 phos phate company at Richmond , Va. ; a $300,000 waterworks and sewerage com pany at Natchez , Miss. ; a $500,000 con struction company at Wheeling , W. Va. ; a 815,000 manufacturing company at narriman , Tonn. ; n $00,000 ice , light nnd water company at Orange , Tex. ; a 810,000 cigarette company at PhllippI , W. Va. ; a $25,000 construction company at South port , S. C. ; ti 8303,000 oil and gas developing company at Richmond , Va. ; a $20,000 spring bed imnufnaturing company at Dallas , Tex. ; a $16,000 de velopment company at Rooky Mount , N , C. , iindn $20,000 manufacturing com pany at Bronham , Tex. Those are only n few of * , ho now en terprises in the south , nnd they are all embraced In the report of n single wook. it Is true that the southern states , owing to circumstances and conditions which need not bo specifically pointed out nt this time , are behind the northern nnd western btates in dovoloumeut and progress , but they are lid winding stoudlly under the sound business system which now prevails throughout the country , nnd if left to solve the questions of in dustrial economy which confront them they will tnkocare of themselves. Their prosperity dupondd upon a coimorvntlvo , peaceful nnd businesslike administra tion of alTalrt ) , nnd it la significant that under present conditions they are truing forward an they have not before in many yoa-8. A national policy that looks first of all to the intarojU of business is ns much to the advantage of the south as ns to the north or the west. If the poo- pie's p.irty secure a foothold In the southern st.itoa It must do so by appeal ing to the IirnoiMnt and thoughtless. Men of judgment and discretion , and particularly those who nro interested hi business enterpriser , may bo depended upon la prevent the south from embrac ing the absurd and ruinous principles enunciated in the Omaha platform of the people's p.irty. The claim that the aouth la the stronghold of that p irty is nn nfTront to the Intelligence of her people. TllK ADVA.XOR l'OXTl'lyii > . The sales agents of the anthracite oroduclng nnd carrying companies otherwise the coal combine mot on Thursday and decided not to advance the prioi again on August 1 as had been contemplated , but tn lot the present modest figures stand until September 1 , when the price will bo hoisted up an other notch. It Is not believed that in refraining from giving the screw an other turn this month the anthracite narons wore actuated by compassion for the suffering public. In fact , it la pretty cloa- that the reason why the price waa not advanced waa that tbo combine feared that the bird which is laying goldi'ii eggs in its hal would die prema turely. President McLeod of the Read ing , it is said , "had boon advised that ti postponement of further advances in prices would bo a wise policy. " A unan imous vote to lot the July prices stand through August was only obtained through a promise to uriko another nd vance on September 1. In lieu of the proposed August advance , action was taken to restrict production for a month , nnd the output was fixed nt 3,000,000 tons , which is 500,001) ) tons less than the output for July. This It Is claimed , in sures full prices and gives the combine a chance to work off its present aurplus. The public will gain little by this ac tion of the coal barons. The price will bo sent up next month , and perhaps that may moan that two advances nro to bo united in one. The prediction that the price of anthracite will go up $1 a ton before the end of the year sootns ronnonablo enough. If It does not go up $2 it will only bo because the combine is afraid of overreaching itsalf. STOPPIXO I'UlllJC UUSlXES-i. The present democratic house of representatives has made a rncord fflr which the people of the country will hold the party It represents to a stern accountability next November. The list of its faults and shortcomings Is a long one , and not the least serious among them is the action of an element under the leadership of Mr. Holman , the chairman of the committee on ap propriations , by which the public bus iness was brought to n standstill in several branches of the public service , and a wldo-roaohing stoppage of the business of the government threatened. Several thousand employes of the gov ernment in Washington wore idle yesterday because there was no appro priation to pay them , and if the law was strictly , complied with the United States courta throughout the country did no business Monday. Several other branches of the public service Voro also Involved. This state of affairs was broucrht about by the obduracy of the cheese-paring chairman of the appropriations com mittee , who has done moro to bring ridicule and reproach upon the house than any ether member , and without accomplishing anything of real value In the Interest of economy. Supported by a number of domocr.its who have no interest in the success of the World's fair , Mr. Ilolmun has obstinately op posed a further npproprintlon of 85.000- 000 for the exposition. A majority in both branches of congress are favorable to the appropriation , which is embraced in 'tho sundry civil bill , but by filibus tering tactics Holmun and his followers have boon able to prevent action on the bill and they threaten to continue this course indefinitely rather than allow the fair appropriation to pass. Con gress can by joint resolution continue from time to time the appropriations covered by the sundry civil bill , but this process must bo abandoned sooner or later , nnd it is probable that Ilolman and his follow Illlbustorors will bo able to dictate terms and exact some sort of compromise. There ia no considerable popular oppo sition to the propasod appropriation for the World's fair. The leading news papers of the country , with one or two exceptions , approve it. The opposition ia contlnod to democratic politicians , who are actuated either by sectional prejudice or the idea of making political capital on the score of economy. These men care nothing for the success of the fair or the honor of the country in volved in the result. They are untvblo to take a broad and generous ana patri otic view of the question , and under the influence of their sectional prejudices or their partisan alms are ready to bring- to a halt the business of the government rather than yield. Tlio people should carefully remember who those politi cians are and at the proper time visit upon them such rebuke as they duaorvo. The democratic party cannot expect to wholly escape responsibility for the con duct of Ilolnmn nnd his .followers in the house of representatives. OMAHA'S CUMSIKIICUL HANK , It Is worthy of note that of the $31,000,000,000 of clearings reported for the first half of the present year nearly 830,000,000,000 Is reported by twenty-one cities , which nro to bo found in n list of the twenty-six largest cities in the United States , according to the census. Among the twenty-one cities Omaha , with n population of 140,000 , is placed next to Cleveland , which has a popula tion of 201,000. The clearings of this city lor the first half of the year wore 3138,300,000 , while those of Cleve land were $140,200,000. Below Omaha in the list are Providence , Denver and St. Paul. Now York city's share of the total clearings for the six months is $10,000.000,000 , or nearly two-thirds of the whole. This ia duo to the enormous foreign coin mo roe of New York , which amounted during the last llso.il year to moro than one-half of the whole foreign commerce of tlionafntry. The question IflBitton asked whether clearing house rotil-ns nro really to betaken taken ns a measure of thobuslncss trans actions of a city upjho Now York 0J n- mciciolJlultctin < ti\yp that they do not "afford tin nbsolu ; tcst of the extent of business activities i t one period ns com pared with nnothfi'i but no ether avail- nblo informntlonlj.sprvos such n purpose completely , nnd clpprlng house returns nro among the mq $ { , valuable nnd sig- ctflcnnt dataohtylnablo. , , " 'L'lie percentage oflncrcaso In Omaha's clearings , which Tins grown steadily nnd rapidly of late , Is no- doubt a fnir cri terion by which to judge of her business growth. That she should bo ranked next to Cleveland In the clearing returns - turns for the first half of this year shows that the aggregate of her commercial transactions baa boon remarkably largo for a city of 140,000 Inhabitants. DKIIAFK THR ISSUES. There appears to bo a general disposi tion to signalize the pending campaign by debates of the issues Involved between - twoon prominent exponents of republi can and demonr.itic principles. There is promise of a discussion of the tariff between Governor McKinley and Colo.iol A. K. McClure of Pennsylvania , and should the arrangement bo made It would undoubtedly be a most interest ing debate. It ia proposoJ to arrange n discussion of the same Issue between ox-Congressman R. G. Ilorr aud Con gressman Bryan , which would also bo Interesting , though the fact of Mr. Herr being one of the very boat informed men in the country on this subject would ren der the discussion somewhat unequal. It la very likely that" a number of such debates will bo arranged as the cam paign progresses , In which there will participate the boat men available. In an educational campaign the ox- trtdioncy of adonting this method of getting ting fairly and fully before the paoplo the issues In controvoraybetween the great parties would seem to admit of no question. The advantages of the plan are obvious. It enables Iho people to hear both aides of a question presented under conditions which require the dis putants to bo at their best , not only as to their equipment of facts and argu ments but also their use of them. Either p.irty to such a debate will bo very careful to avoid perversions and to em ploy only such facts as ho can proauco good authority for. Loose atatomonts under auoh circumstances are dangerous , for a single exposure of .ignorance of the real facts , or , whitis } moro serious , of an apparent attomp.t' ' to deceive , puts the party exposed at aodisadvantaga which it is not easy to rbeoVor from. Another advantage of tho'tlbbato ' is that it , draws together in one a sBjnblago man'of both parties , and thu n rapubllcan speaker is able to addrdSSihimsolf directly to those ho would Jlilio to convert to his the' ' < ritfomocratio : " ' principles , 'speaker enjoying a llko opportunity. The ten dency of this ia.to. infuse interest and spirit into a campaign. Men of both parties who wouldnoU trpublo * thorn- solvosj-to'Sattond M distinqtivoly plSpty mooting. ' vBuld gxPto goods deaf of trouble , if.ne'cossa'ry , to attend o dobalo each class of partisans anxious to hoar presented In this way -tho views of the opposition. The popular intorast boincr more generally aroused the educational effects of tv campaign are more widely diffused. The debate ia , therefore , manifestly a good thing and the tendency toward a general adoption of the plan should bo encouraged. It need not interfere with the established and time-honored sys tem of stumping , though perhaps no great harm would como to our politics If it did do so. By all moans lot the is sues of the campaign bo debated by the best men who can bo secured for this service. TIIK aoutm SECOND THOVOUT. There are indications that the Cana dian authorities and people are disposed to take a more serious and reasonable view of the retaliatory policy of the United States than they were when that policy waa first proposed. A dis patch from Toronto reports the depar ture from that city of Sir John Thomp son , presumably on an unofficial visit , to Washington to endeavor to secure n pledge from the president that ho will not issue the proclamation putting into effect the retaliatory legislation of con gress until opportunity has boon given the Canadian government to hoar from England nnd decide upon a line of immediate - mediate action. From another respon sible source the suggestion has como that the Dominion government will en deavor to have the matter in dispute submitted to arbitration. Thoeo thin era indicate a moro concili atory spirit , and it is uoticoablo , also , that the proas of Canada , or that portion tion of it which is presumed to speak with some authority , speaks of the situ ation in a modified tone nnd moro guarded language. It is impossible to say what view the president might take of a request ior\npostponoment of his proclamation Initil the Canadian authorities can h'Bnr from the British government , buV t'.is highly probable that if the Dominion government mani fests a fair disposition in the matter the president will bfvjrilllng to do for action until it shall havb/iv reasonable oppor tunity to dotormjujjwhat It wlll do. It Is not the intentional the United States to pursue a course which could bo con strued as lioatilo'.Lualio Interests of Can ada. The American people have no do- slro to oppress orjuunlliato their north ern neighbors. , Qp the contrary they wish to live at plftpe with them and to cultivate morq f loiidly relations for mutual benefit. All that this govern ment insists upon is a recognition of the rights of American citizens as guaran teed by treaty , arid , having faithfully performed its obligations under that compact It is clearly ju's'tlflod in demand ing that Canada shall do the same. There is every reason" to boltovo that President Harrison will take no further step in thU matter except ns ho shall find warrant in the circumstances. In calling the attention congress to treaty violations on the part of Canada , continued for years , and recommending 1 a retaliatory policy unless the violations ceased , he performed a plain duty which the American people approve. What ever ho does further , it is safe to say , will bo justified by conditions nnd will bo equally certain of having the np- proval of the country , VASll'AMX CMITKIt.

To the Editor of Tnu HUB : I am pleased to learn that Thomas U. Hood Is coming to Nebraska the last of this month after the Miino elections. It scorns to inc. however , that It would bo very embarrassing for Mr. Hood to stnnd before - fore u NnbrasUa nudlonco In casoTom Majors Is placed on the stnto tlckot. Mr. Hood Is n man who never turns a corner in dobito oren on the stump. Satnabody ventured to ox- nlnlii nboot the report made by him as ohair- inan of a congressional Investigating com mittee in which ho soorod Majors as nn no- ccsiory to the proeurlneof porjuroUiiflldavltb and forged cortlflcntos from the soorotary of the state of Nebraska and whorola Hood re commended that the ease bo placed in tbo hands or the attorney goaoral of the United States for prosecution. Would Air. Hood deny the correctness of his report to shield Majors ) J. H. D. Lincoln was wall represented at the repub lican county convention In this city yostor- day. Sy Alexander , Captain Payne , Uharloy Moslar , Judge Hall und u score of ether poli ticians from the capital wora pro ont while the convention was balloting and appeared to be doonly Interested in tbo outuomo. Most of thorn appaaroa to bo anxious to see Doug las county go down ns a disorganized mob. The lirsi Douglas county politician has yet to put in an appoarauco at a Lancaster county convention. The Crounso band wagon will bo along presently and those who want to got into the procession had better got in lino. Ex-Congrossinan Valentino has turned up Just In tiino to glvo Kugouo Moore a boost. Moore was the court stenographer whan Vul was on the beach. Wo are betting dollars and diamonds that the next congressman from tbo Third dis trict Is a Lincoln man. Bryan may have the nnrvo to accept the challenge of H. G. Ilorr to a debate on the tariff. Has Willie decided whether his po litical body shall bo buried or cromatodl "Well , the result of T'obo Castor's mooting with tbo national committee , which was World-Heralded with so much gusto the ether day , is npparont In the announcement this morning of the executive committee se lected by Chairman Harrity , " said a mem ber of the Samosot association to the Clatterer - torer yesterday. "In making up his execu tive committee Mr. Harrity selected Doran from Minnesota , Richardson from lowu , Blair from Kansas nnd Thomas from Colorado rado , to represent the west .going nll around Nebraska-In order to evade contact with Castor. " "Don'tyou know why ! " said another aom- ocratlo bystander , who concluded : ' 'Har dly wears patent leathers and oloans bis tingornalls ; and , it is said , hold.his nose when Castor appeared on the scone with his boots freshly tallowed and his bands masked In Burlington right-of-way. " Just at present Judge Irvine Is having quito a boom among the young domocraoy for congress. It would bo quite an Interest ing campaign if ho wore to bo pitted against Scott , as many oxpoot will bo the caso. It has boon Intimated that In tha cvont of certain contingencies , such as Van Wyck being the Independent cholca and Majors the republican choice , that Governor Boyd might be forced to become the democratic candi date ; but U Is very certain that such a re sult would bo brought about Dy no effort of bis. The Douglas county convontlon wasn't the only one hold yesterday to select dole rates to 'Lincoln solid for Judge Crounso. Burt county's delegation Is a uult for the Sago of Calhoun. By Thursday the ranks of the Judge's supporters will have received acqui sitions In such numbers that bis nomination on the llrst ballot will bo assured. The onlv question now Is how ulcti his majority will bo. Right now he has ever 200 votes In sight ana moro are coming In droves. It has boon conclusively proven that Doug las counly republicans can "cot together" when they want to. Even before the Douglas county convon tlon the Grand Island Independent an nounced that Judge Crounso was "In the load for the republican gubernatorial nomi nation. A better man cannot bo found. If uo in I im ted ho would not only poll n heavy vote In Douglas , but would assure the ticket a hearty support all ever tun state. " The NlobraraPioneer says of Mr. Crounso : "No candidate has thus far boon so highly spoken of for that position as Judge Crounso , nnd it comes from all parts of the stato. A clean , sensible and experienced man , ho has the respect of everybody. Tucn with Van Wyck as n candidate an old-fashtonod debate between tbeso statesman would bo Just the kind of a campaign that would suit both and got tbo people out. " There nro other things besides the election of n governor which will demand the careful - ful attention of tbo state convontlon. Tbo Kearney Hub says : "Upon tbo organiza tion of the state central committee the chairman , secretary and executive board- depends in a great measure the success of the coming republican campaign , The chairman and secretary should bo two of the boat and strongest men to bo found in the party , men who will compare oven with tbo candidates on the ticket , who will give their tlmo to the campaign , nnd by their well icnown character ndd strength to the wbolo ticket. " George W. Dldko , ox-chairman of tbo inde pendent state central committee , In an effort to "square" himself with General Vun Wyck , bas written tbo following letter : LINCOLN , Nob. , JuIyUO. I notlcotbo papers nro publishing a cony of the circular 1 Issued , ns chairman of tha Independent committee , two years ugo in regard to Senator Van Wyok. At that tlmo , in a press of business , I uotod upon Information prevented by ether persons. That Information was practically upon what was atogod | General Van Wyok intended to do. Shortly after election , and as soon as I bad time to Investigate , I found that the matters charged against General Van Wyck were untrue , and that myself and others bad done him great Injustice and I told General Van Wyolc HO und % 'that I regretted having done him tbo Injustice and would cheerfully do anything In my power to make reparation , and lnco the matter is renewed In different papers I respectfully n k that you publish thli statement nnd that oilier papers whioh hnvo published the cir cular of two yean ago would nlso puollth this.

To the Editor of TUB Ben : The widespread favor whlnh has greeted .Indgo Crounso's candidacy for Iho governorship bodes well for the success of tbo tlckot this fall. Not that the Judge is n cuudldalo of his own volition or oj his own sooklug. It U well known among his frloads that ho did not deslro to have his name pro * sontod , nor could ho DO Induced to mnko n canvass for the nomination. Bui tbo partv needs such Isadora In this campaign nnd II Isle lo bo hoped lhal no Ingordemnin will nrovonl the volpo of Iho pcoplo from being hcodod. Lorenzo Crounso hai had largo expurloneo in public Ufa and has been found equal to every demand und faithful to every trust. As district Judge , n clerk < and as Judge of ttio supreme court of Iho slate , ns collector of Internal revenue , as member of uonirross , representing the whole state of Nebraska , nnd us assistant soorotary of the truasurv Judge Crounso has shown ability of a hluh order nnd n conscientious regard for tbo In terests of thu pooplo. In all tlio controversies between Iho corpo rations nnd the people , Judge Crounso never fnltorod in his devotion to the Intlor. Whllo desplslnir the tricks of Iho demagogue , hU national Instincts nnd sonsoof justice prompt him to tnlco his stand > with the masses. Judge Crounso would bo n strong candidate at anv tlmo boc.iuso bo Is n man of character nnd ability. At this tlmo ho is especially available because , besides being n man of ability , oxpenonco nnd high character , his record as a public ofllcor makes him a lit representative ot the masses In the comlne campaign. Other candidates may have tholr strong points ; Judsro Crounso Is strong at every point. With the close , hard contest thai Iho republicans have on Ihoir hands this fall. It Is no tlmo lo strive to secure control ot a convention. What hall it profit a man to capture n convontlon and tbon goi left nt ibo polls ! The state eonvontlon whioh moots at Lin coln'on tbo 4th inst. should deliberate seri ously with a view of selecting a tlckot that will commend Itself to the favor of nll intelli gent citizens , nnd will secure tha support of every republican voter.
