S
ur THK POPUMST
The Indications arc that the people's
pnrty will not show the strength in No
vember which Its loaders have boastfully
promised. Advices from the states in
which it has made the greatest demon
stration of activity state that a reaction
1ms sol in and that the party is losing
ground. Hvldoneo of this is scon in the
reduced interest in Us public meetings ,
which are not being so larg'oly attended
ns earlier in the campaigiu This is
the case In Iowa , whore , although the
homo state of tlio presidential candidate
of the now party , the populists are no
longer a source of serious anxiety to the
old parties. It is in a degree also the case
In Nebraska , n3 the daily reports of pee
ple's party meetings testify. Tlio first
to upon their c.unpulgn , the populist
loaders at the outset wore listened to
by largo and enthusiastic audiences , but
recently there has boon a notable de
cline of interest among the classes to
which they especially appeal in their
advocacy of a fiat currency and sub-
treasury plans of relief.
There is nothing surprising In this
when one reflects that after all the great
majority of farmers und workingraon
nroHulllelontly intelligent and practical
to understand , when the matter Is
brought homo to their reason and judg
ment , that nothing more hurtful to
their interests and welfare could happen
than an inflation of the currency by an
almost unlimited issue of paper. The
whole financial experience of mankind
proves that the principal sufferers from
nn inflated and depreciated currency
are the producers and wage workers.
This was the experience hero during
the period of an exclusive p.inor cur
rency , and it would inevitably bo re-
ncatod if the financial policy ot the
populist party , which contemplates a
currency exclusively ot paper , should
prevail. Inflation favors only the speculator
later and is therefore necessarily hos
tile to tlio interests of the man in legiti
mate business , whether the business bo
farming or anything else. The pro
ducer cannot discount in his transac
tions it steadily depreciating currency ,
ana in this respect is a't a greater disad
vantage than the manufacturer or the
merchant , though both of those are in
jured by inllation that results in lower
ing the purchasing power of the cur
rency. Labor suffers because wages is
always the last thing to advance and its
increase never keeps pace with the de
cline in the purchasing power of the
money it receives while inflation is in
progress.
These two classes the agricultural
producers and the wage oari.ors pecu
liarly require for their solid and perma
nent prosperity a sound and stable cur
rency money that is of equal value
everywhere in the country and that docs
not fluctuate from week to week or is
not liable to a steady loss tu purchasing
power. Obviously there would bo no
gain to the farmer in the end by getting
in exchange for his products a little
more currency when everything ho must
buy advanced in equal proportion ,
while there would be no inducement to
accumulate money that was steadily de
preciating. A redunduntcurroncy fosters
speculation , illegitimate trading and
connr" , extravagance , evils thut-inovit-
ab ! ' -g their i eward in widespread
disinter.
The farmers of the northwest have
been considering this subject seriously
and intelligently , and this explains wh\
populist meetings are Hot being sc
numetously intended as at the begin
ning of the campaign and interest in the
party is visibly declining. Demagogk
appeals to cupidity are losing their in
lluonco ; the calamity cry is silenced b.\
the potential voice of indisputable fact :
showing an almost unprecedented pros
perity ; and the conscience of the pooplc
revolts at the dishonest suggestion thai
debts should bo paid in a doprcclatct
and debased currency. DiBintogrulioi
is at work in the ranks ot-tho populisti
and they will make -no such showing o
strength as their leaders proioss to bo
Hove and the old parties have feared.
Although irrigation has been adoptoi
only upon a very limited scale in thi
state of Nebraska , it is in some of thi
western states regardoii us an absoluti
nocobslty and is constantly gaining favoi
in localities where it has boon tried
Fortunately Nebraska does not , oxcep
in some of the more arid sections , re
quire iirtificialwatoring , though in som
of the western counties irrigation ha
boon found very , profitable , especially
in such seasons as that of two years age
when the irrigated lands of Scott'
Bluff county and some other localitio
in the western und southwestern pot
tlons of the state were made very prc
duetlvo by artificial watering.
Statistics from the census burea
dhow that the entire area of land irri
gated in 1889 was 3,504,410 acres. Th
average value of the land and the im
provomenls thereon wus $ H3.28 per acre
and the average value of products fo
iho year was $14.89 per acre. The avoi
ago cost of Irrigation on these lands wu
$8.15 per acre. The average annual expenditure
pondituro for water , apart from wute
rights , was $1.07 per acre , wtiilo th
: i average cost of the original proparatlo
of the land for cultivation , including th
purchase ot Iho land at the govern men
rate of $1,23 per acre" , U estimated n
$12.12 per acre.
The testimony of those who hiu
furnished Information upon this subjei
is to the effect that irrigation isoj
tromoly prolltablo. The aggregate fin
cost of the irrigated rrous , with the
water rights , is estimated at $77,400,00
while their value on Juno 1 , 1800 ,
placed at $ : i)0,85l ) > ,000. These flgun
show an enormous increase in the vuli
pf the lands and the water rights , whic
must be taken as conuluaivo proof ot tl
value of the system. Its.adoption in u
of tlio arid regions of Nebraska who
it IB practicable IB only u question

It.h ing tlio condition of trade , says : "Lea

and lessoned speculation. " Hero Is an
admission from a democratic source
the quotations arc from the Philadel
phia JicconVa weekly trade article that
the manufacturing Industries are active
and that the prices ot manufactured
goods are lower , facts which may fairly
bo oiled in favor of the Operation of the
present tariff law.
What Is true of the industries of
Philadelphia applies equally to those of
other localities. With very few oxrop-
tlons.tho Industries everywhere are ox-
pnrlonclng a healthy , legitimate ac
tivity , which moans that the general
prosperity of. the people is such that
tlioy are able to buy what they need.
Tlioi o Is not much speculation. Manu
facturers are not crowding the market
with goods , but are simply mooting tlio
demand , and this is as it should bo. A
steady , regular movement of trade is
best for all intoausts. Hut the most
significant feature of this statement is
the fact that prices have boon declin
ing. This refutes the democratic asser
tion , made from every platform from.
Maine to California , thnt prices have
not boon reduced under the present
tariff. Of course the manufacturers
have not lowered the prices of their
goods for political effect. Nobody but
an oxtromo.freo trader would assume
that they have. Besides , some , of them
are democrats. The lower prices ot
goods is the result of competition and
competition is encouraged by a protec
tive tariff.
Every day increases the volume of
facts which show the benefits of protec
tion , and the most serviceable of them
arc those which come from democratic
authorities.

The action of the republican county
committee in fixing the tlmo for holding
the county nominating convention next
Saturday instead of two weeks later is
commendable. It was a stuold piece of
jugglery to elect delegates on the 10th
of September and hold the convention
on the 15th of October. The manifest
object was to give four weeks' time for
trade and barter in votes. It now re
mains for the delegates to rise above the
ward heeler level and nominate a legis
lative and county ticket that respectable
men can support without blushing.
The men who are "scrambling for nom
ination are for tlio most part without
standing in the community and without
character. They are more spoils hunt
ers whose ambition is to soil their votes
and influence in the legislature to the
highest bidder. Their stock-in-trade is
shouting lustily for the party , when in
fact their support repels and disgusts
decent men who believe with ox-Presi
dent'Hayes that "ho servos his party
best who servos his country best"
It is conceded on all lianas that the
democrats have profited by tlio thrash
ing they received in Douglas county
lost year. They have nominated u fair
county ticket made up chiefly of busi.-
ness men in good standing. Can the re
publicans defy all decency by loading up
their ticket with dead boats , numb
skulls and boodle-men ? Do they imag
ine that the taxpaying ciUzons will deliberately - "
liboratoly vote to send to the legisla
ture men whom they would not trust
with $25 and men who have no regard
for an obligation ?
This is a national campaign year , but
it is not a good your for nominating po
litical barnacles and scallawags. The
first duty of good republicans is to pro
mote good government and you can no
more got good government from men
who are in politics for what there is in
it than you can grow figs from thistles.
This doctrine is very offensive to the
rabble that.runs with' the machine , but
Iho clean , decent element of the party
which constitutes its backbone can only
bo induced to give hearty support to
candidates who command their respoc't
and confidence.
VATHWK S. QILMORE.
The world of music suffered a distinct
and positive loss in the death of the
popular musical director , Patrick S.
Gilmoro. While not a great musician
ho was highly successful as a director ,
coupling with his musical attainments
shrewd business tact and excellent judg
ment as 'to what the public dosircd.
Therefore , while not ranking as a musi
cian with Thomas or Damrosch or Soldier
or Sousa , ho acquired greater popularity
than either and made for himself n
unique place among the musicuj direc
tors of his time. The Gilmore concert
had u character and quality peculiar tc
itself and Gilmore wus the most pictur
3 esque of conductors. His aim wus tc
please the people , and in this ho wai
pre-eminently successful. The thor
ough musician and the exacting critic
found more pleasure in listening to thi
Thomas orchestra in its best days , and
the Marino band as now constituted i :
unquestionably a superior organizatioi
to the Gilmore bund , but the last ap
pealed to the popular taste and honci
has boon uniformly successful.
With the great mass ot people tin
lighter and livelier music will alwayi
bo first in favor , and it was the admixture
*
turo of the classical and the plain o
simple music , oacli rendered _ wltl
equal care and conscientiousness , whiel
gave the Gilmore concerts their pop
ularity with all clasaos. It was a chat
aoteristlc , also , of those entertain
inonts that they nearly always include
ono or more national airs which appealo <
to the patriotism of the people. Thn
Patrick S. Gilmore rendered a vor ,
great service to the cause of muslcii
culture cunnpt fairly bo questioned
though the stickler for the purely class
ical will Very likely bo disposed to don ;
IU him his rightful place among those'wh
IUh have contributed to the dovoloptnor
IU of the popular tusto for undapproclatio
IUU of higher music. Ho will bo missed b
o the audiences who found nttondauc
jf upon his concerts u source of ploasur
and education.
IN' THIS principal classes of export
V- the foreign trade of the United Stajtc
V1 - during the month ot August this you
1o shows no decrease from that of th
o- same month' last year. While thoi
oIn has been a falline off in exports i
us breudstulTs , owing to the fact that tli
use unusually short crops In Europe lui
oof year have boon followed by u mor
plentiful yieldItia nevertheless true thi
thogenoral foreign , demand for American
oroducU continue strong. There U a
pain. In cotton , in 6ittlo and In provis
ions , and the oniy.'d,6crou90 is In broad *
stuffs , which is not -at all surprising ,
considering thntlllto comparison Is
made with a yq'tjr' l > f extraordinary
shortage In Europe. In all thn minor
articles of export the foreign demand In
equal to that of l\8 ? < t'yjcur. ' Our August
imports wore considerably In excess of
those of last yofifj lu the same month ,
but this is not rogm-ded as significant.
It is believed that 'all commercial bal
ances will bo 8ullsrjpd'by ' the trade of
the coming months. ' It Is probable ,
from present Indjnnttons , that the for
eign demand for 'v'morlcan products
will bo as great as usual during the re
mainder of the yo.ir , though it cannot
be expected to equal that of hist year.
IF THI2 western farmer can raise corn
ho can r.iiso hogs , anil if ho can raise
hogs ho can got $5 per hundred pound
for them. That is the present aspect of
the case , and it is easy to find No-
braslcu farmers whoso faces are wreathed
In smiles as they contemplate the pork
market. The knowing ones say that the
present high price cannot bo expected
to stand , but it is not anticipated that
it will fall below $4.50 , which is a very
favorable figure for the pork producer.
The European demand is heavy and is
sure to continue so , and nn increasing
homo consumption is also noted. The
removal of tlio embargo in Euiopo has
stimulated the trade In American pork
abroad to a degree that Is not yet fully
appreciated. Last year the effect
of the removal ol the embargo
wns but llttlo felt , but It U now
routing a tremendous foreign demander
or our hogs and greatly influencing the
rice. As the foreign demand will now
o permanent it is clear that the hog
justness is sure to bo profitable for the
vcstorn farmer in the future.
IN oitDKit that Ihoro mny be a clear
ndorstnnding in the matter , Senator
ames P. Wilson of Iowa lias written a
otter emphatically declining a ro-oioc-
ion by the legislature to bo elected
ext year. Mr. Wilson has boon in the
onuto and house for about twenty-five
cars , and his record has been that of a
uost able and faithful man. Ha is a
great constitutional lawyer , and was ono
of the counsel from the house to prose
cute the impeachment trial of President
ohnson. With Mr. Allison as his col-
eaguo it is a question whether any
tiller state husa stronger senatorial dol-
gation than has Iowa. But Mr. Wilson is
rapidly aginj und vishes to pass the remainder -
maindor of his lifd'in freedom from pub
ic cures , a rest wjjicf { } ho certainly de-
orves. His successor will be selected
rom three men who are now running
or congress , Governor Gear , W. P.
lepburn and Goorgo.D. Perkins.
THE civilizing " influence of popular
iducation is ono or'tfio1 leading causes ol
he prosperity and p'rogrcss of the Amor-
can people. Thoj.coutrast between this
country and sotjio off the countries ol
iuropo in this respect is very striking.
Tor example , the Russian government
ust year uppropViaidd' only $2,892,000
or the support of * public schools , while
the single state of'Ndw York appropri
ated $18,21-1,037.58' Russia is a country
of vast extent containing an immense
population , but it is one of the most mis
erable countries on the face of the earth.
The wretched condition of millions ol
the czar's subjects s duo to various
causes , among the most important ol
ivhich is popular ignorance.
THE testimony of a number of farmers
of Valley county , presented inTiraBEK
is corroborative of the general testi
mony of furmors throughout th <
state of Nebraska and shows that a ver ;
llttlo money invested in farming landi
In this state can bo made to yield splen
did returns by careful rind prudent man
ngomont. The industrious and perse
vorlng farmer in this state is certain t <
bo a winner. 'In a vofy great number o
instances those who have had hard work
to make both ends moot have boon men
who hud no money to start with. I
farmers of that class can struggli
through their difficulties and finally pa ;
their debts it is evident that the soil o
this state is generous.
