tin- past year or two that laige stocks

only in manufncturlng but In v\vry
other dnpnitment of Industry the de-
piessloit giows nnd tlio utiilw of Idle
labor mi * being sieadlly augmented.
As nn easteiii paper says. Hie chief
business fact of the day Is that the
atmles of Industry are nuiklng time ,
while the aimles of politics are de
ciding whether H l.s to bo 100 or HO
cents.
The primary cause of this condition
of attain is the demociatie tiullf. foi
which Mr. William ,1. I'.iyan Is In pait
responsible. That measuie. in MI-
couraglng ineieased competition by
Uilllsh iranuiaetureis in the AniPiican
maiket , has foiced our manufactuieiM
In spuMal gieal industries to em tall
pioduction. tlms throwing into idleness
hundreds of thousands of people foi-
meily emplo.\ed In these IndiistiltM ,
while manv olhers have been aide to
earn anything only a pait of th" time
Ncccssailly it dlscouiaged new outer-
pilses and l ei t many millions of capital
fiom Investments tli.it would have em-
plojed labor at living wages. Thus
the ability to puichase of a veiy large
body of the people so\ oral millions-
has been so i educed that tliev could
buy only the bate neco-s.nles of life ,
mauv of them not even these , and al
most every Inteiest lias suflcied lioin
this As a leading manufacturer said
in speaking oi the situation : "When
o\eiy woikingman ami eveiy working-
woman Is employed at good wages they
ha\e in their hands the power to make
otheis piospeions by puichase Gho
the people the purchasing power and
piospciity to all bianche.s of ti.ido will
follow. "
How can they be given this powerV
By luinishlng them with constant and
UMiiuneiatlve employn.ent. Labor in
this conntiy was well employed , at a
higher axoiagc late of wages than
ever before , hen the demociatie partj
was successful in the election of four
years ago. That success due to the
blindness of labor to Its own inteu'sts
wa.s almost immediately followed b.\
Indu.stiial contiaction and the hlstoiy
of the two succeeding years is familial
to all. HiltMi indnstiles and Kiitlsh
labor that were fa\ored by the demo
cratic tailtt icvlved , while Ameiican
IndUHtiies and Ameiican labor sub
Jected to the foteign competition lan-
gitishiHl. Theie Is manifestly but one
remulv for tills condition and that K
to lestoio til ? policy in l.uge pait
abandoned by the demociatie taiill
i\eiy : woikingman in the nation ought
to be able to see this , lively tanner
ought to be able to undei.stand it.
The republican paity is pledged to
such lestoi.ilion. It piomises an
economic policy that will gho new lii\ >
to om inmistiios. cieate a demand for
labor and inetease the imiclmnlng
power of the people. What Is the lelief
pioposed by the opposition ? Tiee
slher , which would not stait up a
single idle mill or tactoiy. would not
give employment to a single pet son in
any manutactuiing Industry and in
stead of Inci easing the ability of th"
people to imrclia.se would reduce It , bj
diminishing the purchasing power of
their earnings.

President llospo of the Kctsiiluis' as

tor this evening at "the Oonnuetcl.it club
looms to discuss the union dopol < pi.- &

And now the question sixain pie--enls
"
itself whether Omaha will ' ontinue to
submit without piotest i > > tlio peipolna
tlon of this damagli d's , iiininafon.
The s ( > ntlmcnt of Omalu is practlcjiliy
unanimous In demaiidiiu the consir 'c-
tion ol : i union depot , c-Miti-illy located ,
commodious and acc"sbl > < without
danger to life and limb. In the appeal
made by the letailers 10 ih" niaiia vi.-
of the lailioads that IMVV declined to
Join in the pioposed Fain-im stuot
depot , tlie letailers aie simply vnl"lng
the geneial demand of ill citl/.Mis who
closho Omaha to compaio with com
peting westein cities. Whitovor action
the ictaileis may decide upon will be
lucked by tlielr pations , who ronslUutc
the great mass of our population.
What Is now called for -ind o\peered
is fiimness , piudence and unuilmlly ol
action. Standing together the lotail
men bants and shlppois of Omaha : uo
a power that can not only command
attention , but entorce all reasonable1
demands , if Omaha will stand by
Omaha in tills emeigene.v thei will be
no such woid t's fall.
.Tust what the school hoaid expects to
gain by tlio suit oidered Instituted
against the city It Is dlllknlt to divine.
Itecaitse tlio council shaved down the
levy for school put poses the hoaid
hopes to icrovcr damage * . This piopo-
sltion seems to be so ahstiid that It Is
baldly worth discussing. Will the
Iniaid deny that the council had a legal
light to llx the levy as In its Judgment
It saw MtV ( Vilainh' not. And It i
pcihaps n most fortunate thing the
council i educed the levy. The school
boaids of recent jcais have been o\-
tiavngant and the picscnt boa id Is dis
posed to be so.
Hero and there upon the outskirts
ai'd baioly within tlie limits of the cltj
there aie favoicd spots where manj
dwellings have been elected suburban
villages within the shidow of a great
city. Theowneii of these IIOIUCM are
taxpayers and voteis. It I * they who

to the ; tisUJcnts of Ambler Place and

closed for twant of money. They are
petitioning for but one teacher , rathei
than havf-'fbelr school closed ontliely.
Those su'billpan residents do not know
their ptvviThey ) can by conceited
action iVrovVnt the raise of s.ilaiy. un-
w an-ant H .afncl unmerited , and compel
the boinli to piovldo theln clilldien

A stiaiiire foiluliy seems ( o follow
( lie iidinlnlstiation of benevolent funds
devised for tlio firemen's and the police
men's tellef fund Wo local ! that only
a few niontlH ago It was shown that
the riicnicn's Itellef association Intel
lost vvoral hundic'd idolhirs thiougli
niMvl > e if not ) i nipt management.
Now It appears the police relief fund
Is tied ui ) through bank Tallincs or
suspensions , and. while the money will
not all be lost , It Is not now available.
It the.v piollt by expelleiice the man
agers of the fund will be caielul to
place their money vvhoio H will be safe.
The goveinor of the state1 , the justices
of the supieme c-ouit and the state
snpiMlntendeiit of public liisliuctlonaio
by law piid each a salaiy of fL',500.
The judges ot the cllstilct bench aie
paid the same , with no possible per
quisites. Those salaries are not ade
quate , to be suie. lint they cannot be
raNocl except by vote of the people. It
would be wise If the law Ib.od : i maxi
mum salai.v for superintendent i > C the
Omaha public schools.
It is never too late to learn. Theie
are a gieat many intelligent people
who do not undeistand the money ques
tion simply because they have never
devoted tlio time and study to It. The.v
would like to be better Informed , but
they dislike to ask questions. This is
a lalse mode-sty. J-Jveiy man should
iwist himself upon the llve'.st Issue of
the > day and he should not fe-el ashamed
to seek enlightenment ol those who are
able to give it.

Mlnncupolld Tribune
Tor sonio time the free silver papers
printed at the head of their editorial col
umns a purporteil extract from a speech
of the late James O Blalne , made while
he was In congress During the past few
days this matter hna been taken tlovvn and
no longer appears In the1 populist nnd fico
silver paper * The disappearance Is owing
to the exposure of the fact tint the extract
was garbled. B > cunningly eliminating con
necting sentences Mr lilaluc was made1 to
appear as an advocate" of the free and un
limited coinage of silver by the United States
alone at the ratio af 1C to 1 , when thu
actual fact Is exactly the contrary. What
Mr Ulnlno really said was this "To remone-
tlzo sllvoi now , as though essential condi
tions had not changed. Is willfully and
blindly to deceive oumclvcn It our elemone-
tlratlon wcro thu only cause ) for the decline
In the value of silver then remonutlzatlon
would be Us proper and effectual cure. Hut
other causes , bcjond our control , have been
far more potentially operative tlnn the sim
ple fact that congress prohibited Its further
coinage As legislators wo are bound to
take- cognizance of these cnuscs "
Again Mr Illaino said If we coin n sil
ver tleillar of full legal tender below the
current value of the gold dollar , we are
simply opening our doois and Inviting
Htirope to take our gold With our gold
( lowing out from us we1 shall be forced to
the single silver standard and our relations
with the leading commercial countries of
the world will be not only embarrassed but
eilpplcd What gain should we imUe ,
therefore , for the circulating medium If on
opening the gate for silver to flow In wo
open a still wider gate for gold to flow out'
If I wcro to declare that until Huropc re-
monetizes sliver we cannot altord to coin a
dollar ns low as 412' ' . grains "
Thus It appears that Mr Illalne's position
was exactly the position held by the repub
lican party toda > . anil embodied In the St
Louis platform , viz. In favoi of Interns
tlonnl bimetallism Mr Klalnc also ven
tured the following remark , which we com
mend to the cxcet'dlnglj smart people who
aiu now so Industrious ! } engaged in pre
dicting that free silver coinage would at
once raise the market price of silver to $1 21
per ounce "Assurances from empirics and
scientists in finances , " said the great states
man , "that rumonctlzatlon of the former
dollar will at once permanently advance Its
value to a par with gold , are worth little
In thu face of opposing and controlling
facts "

The mlsgnveminent of Charles nnd James

was wrangling from morning to night. The
workman and his emplojcr had a quarrel

On a fair day or a market day the clamois ,
the repioaches , the taunts , the curses , were
Incessant.an ; < l It v\os well if 110 booth was

of hhoes , of ale. of oatmeal , rose fast. Tlie
laborer foun'd that the lilt of metal , which
when lie iccelved It , was called n shilling ,
would hardly , when ho wanted to purchase
a pot of beer , or a loaf of ijo bread , go as
far as sKpenco. Where artisans of more
