Omaha must raise ? ! ! 00,000 In exposi
tion stock subscriptions or glvo up the

The nightmare of Omaha mayors is
find always has been the Hoard of Pub
lic Works.
All Omaha mourns with the families
and relatives of the victims of that
frightful railroad accident.
Every subscriber to the stock of the
exposition association will Imvo a vote
in the. election of the ne\v board of di
rectors.
It is : i long ways from Omaha to
Washington , exclaimed one of tlio Ken
tucky silver delegates to the Chicago
convention and so it Is.
The populists can re-enunciate the Chicago
cage platform without changing si word
and it will be. Just as characteristic , of
their party as the Omaha platform.
The Northwestern road , It must be re
membered , is owned chlelly by ( lie fam
ily from which we have inherited that
famous saying , "The public be damned. "
It doesn't matter who wrote the Chicago
cage platform. If I'cffcr or Weaver or
Taubeneck had written it , it would have
been substantially the same.
It is easy to get a convention to de
clare or an Income tax when Its mem
bers know they will never be called
upon to contribute any part of It If it
should be levied.
If another nrgumniit in fnvor of a
jioslal telegraph system wore needed ,
Uio refusal of the railroad telegraph
operator to transmit dispatches convey
ing news from tlm Logan wreck ought
to be conclusive.
The president and managers of the
Chicago and Northwestern ought to
have hoard a few of the remarks made
nbout them by the tear-stained , nuxloim
thousands who crowded the platform of
tlio wretched union depot Saturday
night.
Nearly ? -10,000 of county funds Imvo
been tied up by the failure of the Clfir-
nmii Savings bank. While the comity
will eventually recover every dollar , the
county for the time being will be sorely
pinched for funds necessary to meet cur
rent expenses.
We are told that , the now democracy
was born in tlio Chicago convention.
Then the old democracy must Imvo died
there. There is no more relationship
between tlio old and ( lie new democracy
than between the democracy and the
republican party.
It would not bo a bad Idea for the city
f law department to advise the exposition
company just wherein and to what ex
tent charter revision may bo necessary
lo further the Interests and provide for
future exigencies of the exposition

With more exhibits than can bo pro

innrkublo fact in connection with the

beeu to furnish railroad men a tangible

This , In n word , In the result of the
most terrible railway disaster that hns
ever taken place within 100 miles of
Omnlin.
More than IfiO.OOO people thrown Into
an Inexpressible apprehension over the
horror of the possible loss of dear rela
tives or friends ! The whole city In a
state of suspense and anxiety for hours
and hours ! And yet the managers of
the Chicago < fc Northwestern railroad , on
which this frightful calamity occurred ,
deliberately and persistently closed nil
avenues by rail and telegraph to both
press and public by which any Informa
tion from the field of carnage and wreckage -
ago might bo obtained !
This Is not nil. In their zeal to sup
press all reports of the true situation
these otiiclals repeatedly denied that any
serious accident had occurred and even
went so far ns to contradict the reports
from this city to the Associated press
announcing n. fatal railroad wreck on
their line.
Such an exhibition of brutality toward
a community which was so deeply and
Immediately concerned Is without n
parallel In railroad annals. No explana
tion or excuse can palliate the outrage.
The time Is past when railroad mana
gers can with Impunity suppress news
of the wholesale slaughter of passen
gers uuiler any pretext whatsoever. They
might exclude reporters and telegraph
operators from the relief trains. lUit
what right has any olllcer of a railroad
company to deny the use of tlio tele
graph for the transmission of private
and press dispatches ?
The rule established fifty years ago
prohibiting employes of railroads from
divulging Information concerning rail
way accidents when applied at the close
of. the nineteenth century Is a mon
strosity that the American people will
not toletate. It savors altogether too
much of despotism. Even In Itnssln
no such barbarism would be submitted
to. When the awful accident happened
recently near Moscow ab the peasants'
feast In celebration of the czar's coronation
nation full particulars were cabled to
the press of the entire world within a
few hours.
President Ilughltt Is too humane a
man to countenance , much less approve ,
such treatment of the public. lie owes
it to himself as well as to the people
of Omaha and Council muffs to locate
the responsibility for this outrage and
to afford such redress as is within his
power.

Next to the railway union depot the
most urgent need of Omaha is a great
auditorium hall accessible to all parts
of the city and commodious enough to
hold at least from 8,000 , to 10,000 people.
Such a hall was in contemplation as a
component part of the Jefferson square
market house project. Whether that
project shall ever materialize depends
uion the decision of the supreme court ,
which will doubtless be rendered before
the next legislature meets. Should the
court sustain the decision of .Tmlgo Fer
guson the use of Jefferson square for a
market house or any other public build-
ng would have to be forever abandoned.
On the other band , if the court shall
hold the square to bo public property
that may be converted to public useby
uul with the consent of the voters of
Omaha tlio original project would in our
judgment still be the most feasible as
well as the most desirable. A market
louse on Jefferson square , with the main
fiont on Fifteenth street and side en
trances on Cass and Chicago , would beef
of more easy access by street railway
and vehicle than any other locality yet
named , and the auditorium , accessible
from Sixteenth street , with side en
trances on Cass and Chicago , would be
equally within easy reach of the multi
tude. The original design provided for
two public halls a lower ball In the
rear of the market house with seating
capacity for : t)00 ( ) that could be ulill/.ed
as an armory as well as a public hall ,
and the auditorium proper , covering the
second story of the whole structure ,
liavlng a seating capacity as large as the
Mormon tabernacle In Salt Lake be
tween 8,000 and 10,000. , Such an audi
torium , constructed with fireproof ma
terial and designed with a view to per
fect acoustics , would make Omaha the
greatest convention , fair and festival
city west of Chicago. During the ex
position the auditorium would be one of
the great inducements for loeating na
tional gatherings , not merely In 1SOS ,
but for years to come. The necessity
of having an auditorium in the heart
of tlio city 1ms been manifest ever .since
the completion of the Coliseum building.
That structure would Imvo paid foritsolf
twice a year If It had been accessible to
the muss of citizens. As It Is It can only
be ntllly.ed occasionally , with a risk of
failure to draw a full liouso even will *
the greatest of attractions.

It appears from the latest statistics
that the exports of American manufac
tures for the last fiscal year will exceed
by nearly li. per cent the record of any
preceding year. The figures for this
eleven months ending May III hist show
total exports of manufactures to the
amount of over $ ' 'oii,000,000 , an Increase
of nearly $ -10,000,000 over the corresponding
pending eleven months of the preceding
year. This Is a good exhibit , but H
will not justify tlio claim certain to bo
nmdo by the supporters of the present
tariff that under the changed economic
policy our manufacturers are capturing
the world's markets , for when the sta
tistics are carefully analyzed It Is found
that tlio Increase of exports has really
been In only a few lines and the greatest
addition Js from mineral oils , as to
which the tarllf 1ms very llttlo or noth
ing to do. There has been a consider
able increase of exports of manufactures
of Iron aud steel , which may be accepted
ns testimony lo the capacity of Amer
ican manufacturers to meet foreign
competition , while thcro 1ms been n
quite marked growth In the exports of
manufactures of leather , but If the In
crease of nearly $10,000,000 In the ex
ports of refilled mineral oils bo elimi
nated from the account what remains
will hardly furnish a basis for the as
sumption that under the operation of
the democratic tariff our manufacturers
arc capturing the foreign markets , as it
was promised by the authors of that
measure they would do.
As n matter of fact the depression of
business In this country , resulting from
the change In the tariff policy , has had
no little to do with this Increase of ex
ports by forcing American manufac
turers to seek foreign markets , even
though there was no profit in doing so.
As a leading commercial Journal says ,
the Increase absolutely and relatively
of the exports of manufactured goods
from this country for the past year , as
compared with the year before , Is due
In some degree to the willingness of
manufacturers to sell at a loss abroad ,
rather than not sell at all , or break the
prices of the home market. Even when
prices had been forced down to the low
est possible point manufacturers were
still unable lo dispose of their entire
product and consequently , In many
branches of trade , American products
have been sold abroad on terms which
yielded no protlt whatever to the manu
facturers. Tims unusually large ship
ments were disposed of , but it must not
be assumed that It means a permanent
Increase In the foreign demand for these
manufactures. It rather denotes the
unsatisfactory condition of the home
market.
It cannot bo demonstrated that the
present tariff law has contributed in Hie
smallest degree lo Increase the exports
of manufactured goods , while the most
ardent supporter of that law must ad
mit that it has curtailed the home mar
ket for tlio products of our Industries ,
thus compelling American manufactur
ers to seek markets abroad for their
goods , even at a loss.

The most vigorous enunciation yet
made by Major McKlnley In the cause
of honest money was In his address on
Saturday to the Koraker club , the full
text of which will bo found elsewhere
aud is commended to the attention of
every voter who Is interested in the par
amount Issue before the country.
The distinguished leader and candi
date of the republican party sent out
In this address a ringing appeal to his
countrymen to preserve the honor and
credit of tlio government. lie declared
that a responsibility greater than the
civil war had been imposed upon the
patriotic people of the country by re
cent events , and said : "In this contest
patriotism Ls above party and national
honor is dearer than any party name.
The currency and the credit of the gov
ernment are good now and must be
kept good forever. " He pointed out
that It Is the threat to debase the cur
rency which produces distrust and
causes money to be withhold from cir
culation and investment. Every intelli
gent man of practical affairs knows
that this is true. The assertion that
there is not enough money with which
to do the business of the country is
utterly groundless. There has been re
cent evidence of the most conclusive
nature that there are hundreds of mil
lions of idle capital In the country
which only needs confidence to be em
ployed , as Major McKlnley said , in gain
ful pursuits that will put every idle
man at work. With that done wo should
have a nation of consumers constituting
tlio best market for the products of our
soil.
Tlio American people cannot fall to
be Impressed by these clear and strong
utterances of Major McKlnloy against
the policy of repudiation proclaimed at
Chicago , as well as by his presentation
of the fact that having destroyed busi
ness and confidence by a free trade pol
icy "it is now proposed to make things
still worse by entering upon an era of
depreciated currency"Not content , "
said the republican candidate , "with
the inauguration of the ruinous policy
which has brought down the wages of
the laborer and the price of farm
products , Its advocates now offer a new-
policy which will diminish the value
of the money in which wages and prod
ucts are paid. " . While this appeals to
every intelligent , honest and patriotic
citizen , it should have especial weight
with the great wage-earning and pro
ducing classes , to whom honest money
is of the very first importance. The
welfare of tlio workliigmau and the
farmer depends upon his lining able to
exchange his labor and his products
for the very best money in the world.
If these classes be compelled to accept
money that Is steadily depreciating In
value , as would Inevitably bo the case
with free silver coinage as proposed
by Itryan , Allgeld and the parly they
represent , there Is no possible way In
which the wage earner and farmer can
avoid loss ,
Tlio standard bearer of the repub
lican parly has in his la lest utterance
removed every vestige of doubt , if any
existed , as to ills absolute and uncom
promising hostility to the free silver
policy of repudiation and dishonor , and
Ills appeal to the patriotism and Integ
rity of the American people will not
bo lu vain.
Kor ten years past the flies of Tlio
Bee will .show a persistent opposition
to the granting of municipal franchises
by the city for the mere asking. He-
peatediy has the fact been shown that
in several uf tlio larger cities of the east
and south and of Canada the division of
revenues fninchlnod corporations are re
quired under their charters to make with
the city government from which they
derived most valuable privileges has In
largo pact paid the cost of city govern
ment. Omaha hns reached that period
In Its history when every franchise
granted shall bo nmdo to produce a
handsome revenue.
In IS'.W , when the storm of business
depression swept over Nebraska to Join
hands with the blight of drouth , eastern
Jobbing houses withdrew their salesmen
from tills , stuto and declined to sell
goods to our people. As a natural consequence
quence jobburti of this dtatf secured the
trade thus abandoned and have hold It

merchants Have learned whom their

Nearly the middle of July and still
the volume of mlufall Is quite adequate
In all quarters of the state. There Is no
room for fear of drouth , but every Indi
cation of plenty of rain throughout the

an enormous yield could not be better.

knew that machine politics never were moro

Illinois primaries thousands of votes which
were never cast were counted for silver
delegates under the Instructions of Altgeld.
In Missouri the voice of the opposition was

Wo have no fear that the sound money
democracy will acquiesce In a frco silver
platform , n ticket of repudiation and of
anarchy and the trampling out of the rights
of sound money delegates In the convention.
A bolt Is Inevitable. A democratic ticket ,
for which democrats can vote , Is becoming
a necessity. It will bo supplied. The moral
law which percolates politics , as well as
all other departments of energy and prlu-
clplo , will provide for honest men that
honest formulation of creed and choice-
which they need. Of this there may be no
doubt whatever. A nation that smashed
slavery will smash repudiation. A nation
of school houses and of churches will -jot
retire the ten commandments from Its serv
ice , will not put both the sonsit und the
Justice of arithmetic on the shelf and will
not vote on the lines of Ignorance , rapacity ,
robbery and pillage. The anarchists , the
populists , tlm communists and the nihilists
who are controlling this convention will
never control this country. They will never
control the democratic party. They may
steal ltn nsnit. and steal Us Hvery and
masquerade IP Its character , hut they are
as doomed to ifrteat as were the man-sellers ,
the woman-whji'pcrs , the mountain bandits
and the prslrl ? highwaymen who were their
Immediate predecessors In a futile war
against clvlllrijtloji , diligence , thrift , enter
prise , roHgl" ' ! . learning and the morrow.
These men are tj > bo politically destroyed.
The height of insolence and violence , to
which wind aud tongue hnvo raised them ,
only measures' the distance of their soon
and certain fall.
Our desire Is that credit for their dispatch
and the honor nf their execution shall bo
shared by the democratic delegation from
this Htato , now lo Chicago , Seeming policy
may impel that | dulegatlon to defer the
statement of what action It will take , or
withhold , until the next state convention.
The future , UB distinctions and Us rewards ,
belong , however , to those who today see and
today do the duties of today. Therefore , we
would have these regular democrats resent
the Insult whcro Insult in Inflicted at Chi
cago.Vo would have them accept the chal
lenge for tlio right , where the wrong throws
its glove into the arena at Chicago. We
would have them begin the war for honesty
and fair politics where repudiation and po
litical despotism offer battle at Chicago.
Men who reflect on Insults rarely resent
them. Men who defer declulons In
emergencies seldom reach right ones. Men
who balance action between courage and
cowardice , between principle and policy. In
time of revolution , Incur u unanimous con
tempt , 'There ' ore tlm s when those who
dally are dautardi and those who doubt are
damned. One of those Unii'i is now.

Dawson county , the republican nominee for
governor of Nebraska. Is an Ideal candi
date for that position , a position which
necessitates the qualifications of a business
man and the tried integrity of an honest
citizen of Nebraska. Mr. MacColl has for
nearly twenty years been a resident of
Uawson county and hns been engaged lu
farming , stock raising and similar agricul
tural pursuits. He has by his faithful atten
tion to business , his fair dealings with his
neighbors and his earnest regard for their
welfare as well as his own. won the highest
esteem of all who know him , and the
number of those who do know him is Increas
ing every day. Ilu Is. as was said by a
member of the convention who nominated
him. "a vote getter. " When the votes are
counted In November the truth of this will
bo shown. The
people of Nebraska are
anxious to have a chance to vote for such
a man.
Broken Bow Republican ( rep. ) : One of
the strongest nominations made by the late
state convention was the selection of Judge
M. P. Klnkald as one of the contingent
Judges of the supreme court. The judge has
a line Judicial mind and his ripe experience
of a decade well fits him for a position In
our highest tribunal. While the Kepubllcan
has opposed Kinkald's congressional aspira
tions , it was not because of any lack of con
fidence in his integrity or regard for his
high personal character , but we firmly be
lieved his life training had not fitted him
for a congressional career , and to place him
there would bo spoiling a good judge to
make a poor congressman , as he possesses
none of these peculiar attributes that make
a lively , energetic representative. We wore
pleased to learn that the Judge had with
drawn from the congressional contest to ac
cept a nomination for the supreme court ,
and for this olllcc he will receive and de
serve the enthusiastic support of every good
republican.

ChlcaKO Tribune.
During the last two weeks the German-
American Money league has received from
nearly 10,000 German business men replies
to the question whether they ore for sound
money or free coinage. There Is not a atato
which Is unrepresented in these replies.
Taking the country as a whole SB 2-5 per
cent of these business men are for good
money and only 11 3-5 per cent for free
coinage. Tlio percentages vary slightly In
the different states. These for Now York ,
Wisconsin and Iowa are decidedly above the
average. That for Illinois Is a llttlo above
It , the- figures being 88.88 to 11.12.
These percentages are true not merely of
German business men , but of Germans gen
erally. Then after giving these figures the
Icaguo asks If the democratic party can
win without the votes of the German Amer
icans.
Jt certainly cannot elect a president with
out them. Their votes elected Cleveland
In 1892. They voted for him because the
money plank ho stood on was sounder than
the Minneapolis straddle. They gave him
Illinois , Wisconsin and other states.
In 1S93 out of 259,000 registered voters In
this city 45,000 wcro German-Americans.
There will be more than 45,000 of them
this year. Tlm open revolt of German demo
cratic papers and leaders since the adoption
of a free silver platform and the nomination
of Bryan shows that moro than 1 0 per cent
of the Germans hero and elsewhere will cast
their votes fur eouiid inoiioy candidate * .

Sidney Polnard ( rep. ) : With A. U. Pndy
an the standard-bearer the Sixth congres
sional district will retire Kcm to private
life and bury populism out of sight.
Norfolk Journal ( liul. ) ; The
of the Sixth district have acted wisely In
ranking Hon. A. R , Cftdy of St. Paul thflr
nominee for congress. Cady Is brainy ami
honest , a good campaigner and would m.iko
an extra good congressman. He ought to bo
elected.
Gaudy Pioneer ( rep. ) : This district will
have no cause to be ashamed of Its elm-
grcssman If the republican nominee , Hon.
A. E. Cady , la elected. Ho Is one of the
brainiest men In the district and no member
of the Nebraska delegation Is his superior.
Ho will mnko a thorough ranvnss and It la
hoped that ho will bo able to visit this
county during the campaign.
Ord Quiz ( rep. ) : Tlio Sixth congressional
district did Itself proud when U placed the
name of A. B. Cady on the congressional
ticket. There Is no keener , brighter man
In the district than A. K. Cady ot St. Paul ,
aud no ono can be sent to Washington who
would represent this district more honestly
and ably than ho. Ha Is n mnn against
whoso character or public career nothing
can be. said , and ono of whom the Sixth dls
tilct and the state will be proud to own as
a representative In congress.
Atkinson Graphic ( rep. ) : Last Krlday
night at North Platte , on the forty-fourth
ballot , Hon. A1. 1 ! . Cady of St. Paul wan
nominate ! for col srcss. To say that he
Is tlio most able man In the Sixth district
Is putting the question mildly. There Is
no need now of the district being mlsfcp-
rcuented In congress , and If the people have
any judgment whatever Mr. Cady will bo
elected by a rousing majority. Ho Is able
and a man of the people In every respect ,
a forcible talker and convincing In his ar
guments. The next congress will bo repub
lican and the Sixth dlslrk-t should and
will bo with the majority.
Schuylcr Herald ( deni. ) : The republicans
of tlio Sixth district have nominated Hun.
A. B. Cady of St. Paul for congress. Mr.
Cady was formerly a resident of Schuylcr
and commenced hU political caieor In Ne
braska ns editor ot the Sun. He rtas a good
writer , a thorough organizer and soon made
his Inllucnco felt In Colfax county politics.
Under his management the Sun became ono
of the loading republican papers of the
state. As a citizen Mr. Cady enjoyed the
confidence and respect of all. After leaving
Schuylcr he moved to St. Paul , Howard
county , where he engaged In the banking
business. A few years after moving to th t
place ho was elected to tlio legislature and
made n record highly creditable to himself.
His many friends In this , his old home , con
gratulate him upon his nomination and feel
confident that If lit ) goes to congress ho wilt
make his mark.
Grand Island Republican ( rep. ) : Hon. A.
E. t'ailv of St. Paul. Howard county , was
nominated for congressman from the Slxlh
congressional district at the republican con
vention held nt North I'latto July 3 after
quite a protracted struggle between him
self and Judgu Wall , both of whom lr.d
many supporters , forty odd ballots being
taken before a result was reached , air.
Cady Is an able man and a good cam
paigner and will put up a good fight In
the Sixth district and strive hard to ovar-
rldo an adverse majority. Should he be
elected , of which his friends feel confident ,
he will make an able representative In
congress and reflect great credit upon the
people ot his district and state. "We hope
no such calamity will befall the people
as would be In the defeat of Mr. Cady by
a man of the caliber of Kcm , who has cre
ated a vacancy In congress from the Sixth
district for the past six years.
Kearney Sun ( rep. ) : The republicans of
the Sixth congressional district have nomi
nated ono of the ablest men In the state.
A. 13. Cady Is a man ot unquestioned hon
esty and integrity. As n printer ho was
an Industrious , sober mechanic ; as a busi
ness mau ho was progressive , frugal and
successful ; as a banker ho was safe , sound
and conservative ; and now as the head
of a wholesale grocery house ho lias shown
himself equal to emergencies that have
confronted the effort to conduct a large
wholesale business in a small town. As
a member of the legislature Mr. Cady was
at once recognized as a man of splendid
mind and at once took a place as a leader.
Through all his busy life , given to toll and
labor. Mr. Cady has been a close student
of affairs ot stato. As a debater ho has
no superior in the state , and if elected the
Sixth district will bo represented by a
man who Is the peer of any member of
congress from this or any other state.

Alliance Times ( rep. ) : The republican
party does not mean by the stand it has
taken on the money question that the entire
use of silver shall bo abolished , but it does
adopt a course that seems to it necessary
if every kind of dollar Is to bo kept of cor
responding and equal value.
Stuart Ledger ( rep. ) : It Is not Improba
ble that the sllver-fuslonlstlc clement of the
populist party will cause a split at Its na
tional convention. The republican party
stands solidly for sound money and protec
tion and there Is no breach In Its magnifi
cent lines. The result In November Is no
longer doubtful.
Leigh World ( rep. ) : Why don't the silver
mine owners , If really In earnest about as
sisting the fanners , Instead of talking free
coinage of their mine productions , get to
gether and work for the enactment of a law
declaring that corn shall be worth 60 cents ?
The farmer would bo much surer of getting
his share of money In that way than by the
passage of n law making CO cents worth of
silver worth 100 cents of gold.
Grand Island Republican ( rep. ) : The fel
lows who attempted to lead the people out
of the wilderness four years ago over the
tariff-tinkering free trade route nro now
entreating us to permit them to take us to
the destination of prosperity by the debased
currency line. Is their judgment any better
now than It was four years ago , and are
they any more worthy of credit In the zenith
of their disgraceful failure to keep promises
then made ?
Kalrbury Knterprlso ( rep. ) : Everybody
has heard the story of the physician who ,
when ho hail a case he didn't understand ,
always threw the patient Into fits. Ho did
this , ho said , because he was a sure shot on
fltB. That seems to be the theory on which
democracy Is proceeding. U Insists on
throwing tlio business Interests of the coun
try Into fits , to the end that It may display
Its ability In curing that particular dlflloulty.
The fit can't last always. Then It can say ,
see what wo have dono.
Grand Island Republican ( rep. ) : Every
dollar of gold circulating In Mexico pur
chases twice as much of anything as does
the "legal tender" silver dollar of that re
public , oven to buying two of the Mexican
standard dollars , heucu as u matter of fact
the Mexican dollar Is only worth CO cents
In that country or thin , but oilier values
there are fixed upon a CO cents for a dollar
basis , and thcro is no advantage whatever
In the silver standard , but n decided dis
advantage , as the 50-ccnt dollar pays the
wage worker and hla wages are not In
creased to correspond with the decrease
In tlio vuluo of th < ) money ho Is compelled
to take for pay. AH labor Is paid for with
50-cent dollars , and that would bo tlio case
hero If this country had free coinage.
Broken Bow Republican ( rep. ) : Our pop
orators are still going buck to the days
between 'Gl and 'C5 , when the rebellion
was occupying the attention of 76 per cent
of the able-bodied men , to quote prices
of farm produce as compared with pres
ent prices , to support their claim that free
Kllvcr Is the "stuff. " This country had
frco silver from 185G to 1858 just the BOIDO
as during the war and If frco silver is n
sura euro for business stagnation nur pop
friends should use those dateu. If they wxnt
to bo honent and make comparison with
tlio times our country was enjoying under
the Harrison administration. Every man
who has a smattering of gray matter In
his head ought to know that the exorbitant
prices of all kinds of products during and
immediately after the rebellion was duo
not to free sliver or irredeemable paper
money , but to the war Itself , which con
verted a largo proportion of people from
producers Into consumers. The supply at
that tlmo was not nearly equal to the du-
mand and prices advanced to the very high
est point the traino would bland , us they
always will do under Bucli circumstances.
Silver never affected prices , and it never
will , as any man can learn for himself by
making an honest comparison fur any Herict
of yearn in the history of the world , when
all natural conditions imrroumlliig euch
periods wore practically the name.

of the services of a representative * who has

Nebraska has now reached a degree of
