his slmro ol this theft irom ttio wnqcs of the
workers in the mills mid hi ? partners re
ceived as much more , but they were not
sntlsiled.- ll'oW-7/milrI. ;
The above in a fair specimen of the
impudent falsehoods concoctud by the
party that advocates a policy that would
break down the industries of America
and build up the mills and factories of
Grout Britain. From beginning to end
this st.itomont concerning the Curnoglo
company , the wages it pays and-tho
profit it pockets , does not boar a faint
semblance to the truth.
The Carnegie works only manufacture
12 per cent of the total output of the
steel mills of the United States. That
moans that S3 per cent of the product
of American stool mills is manufactured
in other lactorios. The tarilt on steel
billets was lowered by the MuKiuloy
bill , and if every dollar of tarlll imposed
is n tax upon the consumer and a rob
bery of the workingman employed in
the production of protected commodities ,
then the McKinley tariff so far as it re
lates to the products of the Carnegie
mills operated In the direction of lower
ing taxes and reducing the burdens of
the workingman.
The truth is that the MuKlnloy tiirlfl
reduced the duty on stool beams from
li cents to nine-tenths of a cent per
pound. The price of steel billets has
dropped from S27 to $22.75 per ton since
1890. That fact within iUolf would
reduce the profits , computed by the
impostors who purposely misrepresent
the stiito of affairs at Homestead , by
moro than one-half. But inasmuch as
the computation is mndo on the basis
that Carnegie receives the entire profit
of all the steel product of the country ,
when , in fact , ho only manufactures 1-
per cent of the stool product , the whole
charge turns out to boa tissue of falbo-
hood- < .
The statement that the Carnegie com
pany pays only 81.1)3 ) for all the labor
required in the manufacture of a ton of
steel billets is so foolish that oven the
Worhl'JIcmld ought to bo ashamed of it.
4.I1U JUUl < bllllb IJUU lUiill 1UUU1YU3 < Pl..r'-l ll/l
the labor which ho performs on a. ton of
stool is used by that preposterous free-
trade organ as a basis for the claim that
only $1.0" ) worth of labor is required for
its production. It would be a waste of
words to point out the absurdity of this
argument. Equally silly is the state
ment that Carnegie's share of this rob
bery of the workingman that is , his
share of the difference between 81.03
and $8.82 per ton is $5,000 per day ,
and that his partners get as mucn more.
The men employed in the Carnegie
mills have boon earning all the way
from $1.10 to 88.70 a day , while the
earnings of the most skilled English
steel workers do not exceed $3 a day ,
with the wages of the unskilled in pro
portion down to GO cents a day.
With this foreign labor American
manufacturers could not possibly compote
pete without a protective tariff. A re
peal of the tariff on steel and iron
products would close nine-tenths of all the
iron and steel mills in the United States
within six months nnd pauperize hun
dreds of thousands of workingmen who
are now earning wages that enable
them to live in comfort , while their
children are educated in the public
schools without cost.
The Carnoglos and other successful
mill men have grown rich not so much
by the protective tariff as by the ac
quisition of patents for improved methods
of manufacture nnd by the massing of
their capital in risky ventures.
Wo do not eay that the Carnegie com
pany cannot afford to pay bettor wages
than it does. That Is not the question.
Wo only s'iy that the arguments of the
free traders show that they arc dishon
est or else totally incapable of compre
hending the tariff problem.

Nebraska is misrepresented in the
Fifty-socond congress. The viowa of
public policy of her throe representa
tives are not In accord with the opin
ions of n majority of her peoplo. The
democratic congressman in n free trader.
Ho is the author of several free trade
measures that passed the house , and his
public utterances sliow him to bo bit
terly hostile to the American uystom of
protection and in favor of a policy
which , however designated , is in effect
free trade. Only a very small minority
of the people of Nebraska believe that
it would bo a good thing for the United
Status to adopt the English system and
thereby destroy American industries or
reduce American labor .to the British
level.
The alliance congressmen misrepre
sent , as to most of the doctrines they
advocate , the majority of the people of
Nebraska. The financial views of these
congro.sdinon do not agree with those of
the limbos of the intelligent voters of
this bU-.le. The proposition that the
general government bhall issue paper
currency to an almost unlimited uxient
would , If biibmlttud to the puoplo of Ne
braska as a distinct issue , bo overwhelm
ingly rejected. The number of intelli
gent mun in this state who advocate the
suhtroarfury plan , or any llKo expudiunt
for inflating the currency , IH relatively
very small. In other respects , also ,
thuao alliance congressmen do not rep-
rosont. the general sentiment of the
thoughtful puoplo of IS'ob'iiska. This
state will have six representatives in
the Fifty-third congress. There Is every
reason to expect that a majority and
possibly all of them will bo republicans.
In the ditftriota whuro republican can
didates for congress have been nomi
nated excellent selections have been
made. All are men of good ability and1
high character , thoroughly in sympathy
with the national policy of the party ,
and would represent the slate credit
ably , Hvery one of them innrUs the
popular cunlldenco , and if the voters of
the several districts have adequate ap
preciation of the importance to the state
of being Intelligently unit properly rep
resented In congress , ull of tuotu will bo
elected. Nebraska U without character
or Influence in the present congress
simply for the reason that she is dis
credited by the character of her repre
sentatives. It will bo most unfortunate
if Uils is continued In the next congress.
Undoubtedly the electoral vote of
Nebraska will ba cast for Bjnjamln
Harrison. Few intelligent observer *
question this result , notwithstanding
the proposed fusion of the democracy
and the popilllst p.xrty. All signs are
fuvorablo to the ro-oloctlon of the pres
ident. There are equally good reasons
for balioving that the next house of rep
resentatives will bo ropublicin. In the
event of those promises being verified
the advantage to Nebraska of having a
republican delegation in congress is
obvious. At uuy rate the paoplo of this
state should not allow themselves to bo
misrepresented In the Fifty-third congress -
gross as they are bolng In the Fifty-
second. The inlluonco of Nebraska upon
national legislation , the interests of the
state so far as they may bo affected by
congress , and the credit of Us people for
intelligence and honesty regarding
questions of public policy , all demand
that the classes of politicians who now
compose its delegation shall not bo re
turned to congress.
The differences between the Board of
Education and city council regarding
the quarters to DO occupied by the board
in the city hall still remain unsettled.
There Is no doubt that the board has
been shabbily treated ' by the council.
The board furnished'tho lirst $20,000 expended -
pondod in the foundation of the city hall
building. This money was furnished on
the stipulation tlmt one-eighth of the
available space in the city hall building
should bo reserved for use of the Board
of Education , and the board was to have
the privilege of designating the manner
in which the spucc sot jipart to it was to
bo laid out. That agreement was based
upon an estimated oost of $200,000 , the
limit fixed by the Myers plan. The
abandonment of that plan and the con
struction of a building that costs over
$100,000 did not relieve the .council from
its obligation to assign the board proper
quarters in the city hall building. The
board may not bo entitled to occupy one-
eighth of the space , but it ought to
have boon consulted regarding the divi
sion of the rooms and it should have
been courteously mot half way when it
asked for the privilege of occupying its
quarters.
hairsplitting and standing on ceremony.
The city hull is not the property of
councllmen or members of the school
board. These bodies" are simply public
servants for whoso accommodation the
ttixpa brs have erected a public build
ing. The board has no right to refuse
to move into this building just because
the members of a co-ordin.ito branch of
the city government have been discour
teous or unaccommodating' . The most
sensible thing for the board to ( lo is to
move into the building without further
delay and take its chances upon bettor
accommodations when the members of
the board and council got bettor ac
quainted with each other.

Wisconsin has been classed among
the doubtful states this year. Four
years ago it gave a republican plurality
of 21,321 , but in 1800 a democratic gov
ernor was ducted , by a plurality of 8-
IJ20 , every democratic candidate for con
gress being also elected. In no other
state was the political change of that
year more swooping , and as there has
been nothing since to indicate a material
weakening of the democratic hold the
state i.s regarded in most of the estimates
as doubtful.
The republicans of Wisconsin realize
that they have a hard fight on hand and
they have entered into it by putting
their btrongcat men at the front , sink
ing all differences and uniting for an
aggros3ivo campaign. They huvo nom
inated as their candidate for governor
ox-Senator Spoonor , and a bolter selec
tion could not have been made. There
were several aspirants for the honor ,
which was not sought by Spoonor , but
when ho consented to be the candidate
all others promptly withdrew and ho
wa.s nominated by acclamation.
Thu cx-3onntur is ono of the distin
guished republicans of the country , u
man of eminent ability and unblemished
character. lie occupied a prominent
place among the loaders of the United
Slides semite and ho could have had a
place on the supreme bench if he had
desired it. If any man can redeem
Wisconsin from democratic control ho
will do so , and a most vigorous canvass
under his leadership is assured. Having
accepted the nomination at the urgent
call of the party ho will have no disaf
fection to overcome , but will bo able to
summon to his support a united and har
monious organization.
There is a moro hopeful outlook for
the republicans with Spoonor as their
leader. The democracy , which ob
tained power largely by reason of its
position on the Educational issue , lias
not shown either marked capacity or
honesty in Its administration of affairs.
The Mpportlonmont of the legislative
districts was declared unconstitutional
by the supreme court of the stale , and
in other respects the extreme partisan
course of the party hun douDtloss lost it
favor with many of those who two years
ago went to it from the republican
ranks. With so nblo and popular u
leader us ox-Sonalor Spoonor the repub
licans of Wisconsin ought to make u
whining fight for both the state and na
tional tickets.
Titnxa TO rum , run PROPM : .
The democrats are disposed to cull the
present prodldontiul contest n "cam
paign of education. " This Is u departure
from the traditional campaign policy of
the democracy , and therefore it exposes
the parly to suspicion. Democratic
campaign * have hitherto boon planned
with the view of practicing upon the
p-ujudicos and pa&slona of the Ignorant.
Ib it true that tho. supporters of Grover
Cluvelund now propose to appeal to the
intelligence of the people ? Lot us boo
how they do it In previous campaigns
the democrats huvo always made n
greut disturbance about republican
legislative extravagance. After the
adjournment of the Fifty-first congress
a great howl was raised concerning the
axtrnvngnnuo o | Iho "bllllon-doHur congress -
gross , " Doimianvtlu newspapers and
orators became 'frantic with apprehen
sion and rng 'A'is ' they contemplated
what that congrosd had done in the way
of appropriations. All over the land
the "billion-dollar congress" was bold
up us mi cxumple'of republican extrava
gance. A bllU6h dollars , of course , Is a
great sum , andnjt is not strange that
many people .woro alarmed when they
were told thntitd ) siiros had boon passed
by a republican congress providing for
Ihooxpciidttui-obf so much money. It
Is not necessary ti'ow to explain why Hie
appropriations of the Fifty-first congress
wcro large. It is suillclont to say that
the money was not wasted. But what
did the democratic congress do in the
session just closed ? The aggregate
direct appropriations during the ses
sion just closed wore $35,070,808.78
moro than those of the republi
can "billion-dollar" congress. In ad
dition to this * excess , the present roll-
gross uuthori/.cd contracts and expendi
tures on account of river and harbor
improvements to the amount of 331,700.
521. Other expenditures by this congress -
gross muko the grand total of $510,30- ! )
000.57 , or tin excess of about $77,000,000
over the " "
"billion-dollar" republican
congress. So much for the first session.
The second session is always moro free
of expenditures than the first , and us
there will bo no restraint of an approaching
preaching presidential election it is
certain that the second session will
appropriate the public money with a
lavish hand.
Those facts prove that the democratic
pretense of economy in a dohitlon and'a
snuro. At present the democratic lead
ers are not , saying anything about the
"billion-dollar congress. " They know
that the action of their parly in con
gress bus destroyed that argument. But
they are trying to fool Iho people with
deceptive statements concerning the ef
fects of our Industrial policy. The people
plo are too familiar with free trade fal
lacies to bo humbugged into supporting
any party or c indidato that prefers to
promote the prosperity of England at
the expense of our own country.
A SOMKWIIAT unusual and Interesting
bit of political news comes from Louisi
ana. It is the report of a movement
among the sugar and rice planters of ono
of the congressional districts of the state ,
chiefly democrats , of course , to send a
ropublic'in to congress. The explanation
is that the democratic representatives
have been attacking the tariff on rice
n \d \ sugar , and , under the circumstances
the planters have come to the conclusion
that In order to protect their interests
and those oi the st ito it is necessary lo
sand republicans , to congress. "What
wo want , " say'tljto ' planters , "is to send
a man to eongres. who can got into the
workings of a jJnrty that is favorable to
' ur interests , rf/i"i / , ' further , wo want to
send a liberal man , a man who is in fa
vor of protecting pur industries. "There
are numerous interesting developments
in southern politics now-a-d.ys , of which
this Is certainly ( nio , for the mqvomont
is said lo'bo sp'reailing in Louisiana. It
is inspired by solf-lntcrost , but there is a
grout deal of .such .interest in the south
and it-is growing every year. The time
will come when others than sugar and
rice planters will demand to bo repre
sented in congress by men who nro in
favor of protecting their industries and
will have such representatives.
TIIK domocwts of Iowa in their con

they said last year about Iho
republican congress which spent $44.-
402,870 loss than their own prudent
and economical ooncross which just ad
journed : "Wo denounce the wasteful
and lavish appropriations of the last
congress , which in time of profound
peace expended an amountequal to onu-
'third the total public debt incurred for
the preservation of the union. This
billion-dollar congress marks the final
effort of desperate politicians to perpetuate -
potuato themselves in power. "

Democratic politicians in Douglas county
are sadly missing Ibo man with the qold-
hoadcd cane , ox-Council Bluffs Mayor
Vaughan , , vho had such a pull on fulloggcd
candidates.
Omaha and Douglas county have not boon
wull represented1 In the last , two so-isions of
tbo legislature. The commercial nnd politi
cal Importance of Omaha and South Omaha
demand a higher grade of men in the legis
lature. Tnoro Is a demand for men who have
made a success in llfo , and especially man of
good business ability. Should the business
men of Omaha make ttio issue and come to
the front in .support of a higher class of men
for the legislature the city would profit Im
measurably as a result.
Judge Allen W. Ftold , the republican
nominee for conn-ess m the First district ,
has resigned from the bonch. Ho casts off
the judicial ermine October 1 , so that his
party may elect u successor at the sama oloi-
lion which will sontl him to congress. The
resignation emphasizes his contldoacu in his
own election and makes the way easv for u
strong and vigorous campaign in his behalf.
There was not much interest in Mars' np- '
poarancu among the dotnocrntic politicians.
Wo understand ttio democracy has few astronomers -
tronomers , out many gastronomers.
It is pretty well understood that the load
ers of tbo people's party are all wearing per
forated hats this year.
"Say , Boss , d'yo see dis nickel ? " said u
Burlington sleeping car porter , with a crin
that disciosod two rows of ivory tooth In an
honest , black faco.
The train had stopped , the gong had rung ,
and a party of politicians were .hurriedly
making way with a sandwich and coffee at
the lunch counter. The porter had singled
out an acquaintance and proceeded to toll his
story. This porter , by tlio way , has boon
catering to the wants of sleeping car passen
gers for a number of years and knows most
of the prominent politicians of the
state. Ho also knows how to work
tnem for tips and if nny of them
got away it has never boon his fault.
Congressman Kom , ho said , usd ridden in
his car for two days and nights. Kom had
received at his hands the most subservient
attention and had exacted so much service
that follow passengers got the Impression
that possibly Iho porter was His Majesty's
body servant. But the porter hud dutifully
met every requirement , while in his breast
lurlted the fond hope that at the end of the
run Ills reward would bo ample and in por- ,
feet keeping with the dignity and ponoroslty
of a inotnbor of congroas nt .UUl ) a year.
The last day's ride had boon a hot and
dusty ono. Kern's patent leather pumps
hud been nicely cleaned , wrapped up and
put in the Wg valioo nnd the heavy , high
top boots nnd been tukon out , polished by
the porter nnd after n doipcrato slrugglo in
tbo state room Keni had auccooded in getting
his feat into Ibein. The broadcloth Prlnco
Albert had boon thoroughly dusted ,
scrupulously folded and put away fflld the
long , time worn linen duster that bad boon
many n hard fought battle on the Custer
county busting : ) , again adorned the Apollo-
lllio frame of tlio stuicman from the Big
tiixth. The silk tlio , lee , had been taken
down from tbo peg on the larboard side of
the berih , stroked with the nicety of a
connoisseur and lucked away In the baok-
nuinbor hat box carried expressly for the
occasion. The sweat stained Hlouch that
Kom hud worn "lion putting that mortgage
on his farm bad been llshed out of the bottom
of tbo valise , brushed up by the porter and
placed on ICoiu's masslvo brow.
When all this had boon done , tbo meta
morphosis was complete. The sleek con
gressman who had all summer long posed in
the hotel rotundas of Washington , stonped
off the cars at Omaha the pursontllcatloa of
simplicity or manner and dress. Ho carried
the hat box while the porter lugged his
baggage.
Tlio supreme moment was nt hand.
Visions of a shining gold piece or two or
throe big round dollars chased ono another
in Ibo mind of tno faithful valet. The states
man's baggage was deposited on Iho depot
platform , and the look of eager * expectancy
on tbo darkey's face caused ICom's heurl lo
melt. I'ullinir his calloused hand in his on *
punts pocket ho pulled out a handful of the
coin of Iho realm. Out of this ho picked a
nickel , ami with an unexampled exhibition of
( jonerosity handed It to the portor.
This nickel will play an Important part in
the coming campaign In the Big Sixth , Tno
porter carries It as a memento of ICom and
ts tolling the story of u great man's liber
ality lo every ono hu moots.

the imposition of duties "for revouuo only"
on nit such things as Americans need , but
which they can not sufticlontly produce , to
Which class sug < ir , ton , and coffee belong.
It has been republican policy to make tlioto

If Ih orate of increase lu tbo * postal reve

llkoly lo become solt-sjstalnlng sooner lluxn
Mr. WauamnUor estimated that it would
when ho mndo his llr.st annual report ns
postmaster general. Sixth Auditor Coulton
of the Treasury department , who has
chnnroof the finances of the 1'ostonico do.
parimont , returned to his doik two days ago
to llnd that tlio revenue of the department
had Increased nt stioh a rate that the do-
flcloney of the Urst quarter of IS'JJ was only
about ono-half of Iho dollclency for the lint
quarter of the year proceeding. Hero nro
ttguros : Dotlclonoy for the quarter ending
March 31 , Ib'Jl , JiBil.S2r.81l ; deficiency for
the corresponding quarter , IS"- , flTU.-ISS.
In ttio argument which ho presented hi his
Ilrst annual report ( in winch bo favored the
reduction of loiter postage to 1 cent ) , Post
master General Wauamakcr figured that thn
dollclency for the year IS'.K ' ) and for the years
following would bo as follows : IS90 , S.'i.u'S- ,

The dollcit in IS'J. " , ho .sain , would bo so Inconsiderable -
considerable that the 1'ostolllco department
could then bo self-sustaining. At the rate of
Increase for Iho Ilrst quarter , IbM ( the cal
endar year IS'J ) and Iho third quarter of Iho
fiscal year 18VU as wall ) , Iho dollcit for that ,
year should bo only fl.lS'.V.l.V ' ' , or loss tlmn
ono-half the deficit which Mr. Wnnntnalior
anticipated In his estimates of two years
ago.
\VIII Hi ) Arritmitllslu-il Nvxt Year.
This oupht to bring the 1'ostofllco depart
ment to a sell-sustaining basis next year. In
Iho light of Itils possibility it Is highly prob
able that there will be a renewal in Mr.
Wanainakor's annual ronort of the recom
mendation for n reduction of letter postage
to I cent per ounce. It has never been the
policy of the covernmont to make the Post- i
ollico department Eelf-sustalnim. . nnd whenever -
over it has seemed likely that this would ba
brought about the service has boon Improved
in some way or other. The cost of the ser
vice has been reduced that Iho moans of
communication should bo us cheap as possi
ble.
ble.Mr.
Mr. Wnnnmakor has always held that the
reduction of letter postage would eventually
result in an increase of the rovcnties. J3e-
fore IS ir > the letter rnlo was n complicated
one. It was reduced and n uniform ralo of 5
cents was established In thai. year In the face
of a small deficiency in the revenue. In 1851
the loiter rate was 'reduced lo U cents nnd in
ISbll to 2 cents. Kadi of thcso reductions
was preceded by a smalt surplus. Thn post
master general' in his report for IS'.lu ' said
that money received for the transportation
of mall matter was a trust , fund and it was
not proper to use it for any other purpose
than In paying Iho cost of the work per
formed in oxlondlng Iho conveniences of Iho
service and reducing rales. The house of
rcprosontutlvos. it it could obtain the co
operation of the ncnuto , could make things
very uncomfortable for ttio next congress by
outline the rate of letter postage in half.
It would take uwny $20.000,000 from the ro-
ccipts of tbo Postofllco department an'u
oroato a deficiency which would have to bo
made up by appropriations from other
bources.

Mr. Tnnir , u weallhy merchant of San

on the Midway Plaisauco at Jackson park ,
Chicago , to bo operated In connection with
the World's fair. Mr. Tanc wants it very
batlly , ho wants it so badly in fact that ho
has appealed to the Chinese- minister who
in turn appealed .to the State department to
aid htm in Rolling the privilege from the
committee on ways and means of the World's
fair. Mr. Tan K"on tl n Chinese companion
came through u few days ajro and took u suit
of rooms at tlio Arlington and they have
been moving very mysteriously about Iho
streets of Washington and in and
out of the Chinese legation wince. Their
real mission hero was not known
until they called at tbo Stale department
mid were introduced to Secretary Foster by
the Chinese minister. Mr. Tang makes
complaint that ho applied to tbo director
general early In July uud was promised an
answer by the committee on ways uud means
In two "weeks , but has received nothing
since. 1 ho Chinese minister today telegraphed -

You like to be well dressed , too. You like
the tailor-made suit , too. Your
pa and ma will like the price ,
too.when they see the beauties
we are putting1 on the boys just
now. We have cut the price
'way down low because we have
to close them out quick now , You
might as well have a Jim Dandy
suit to wear to school in a
couple of weeks when it costs no
more than the cheap John affair
some of the boys wore last term.
You can slide down the terrace
just as easy in one of our tailor-
made suits and at no more expense than in a shoddy V i
suit. These prices this week.
