Nebraska Is proud of the half century

That normal republican majority In

proceeding.

overshadowing Issues of the hour , but

With live republican congressman out

lion. A. U. C'udy would make a rep

Municipal public improvements have

by the free silver agitation that lias de

This In Itself has deprived labor of ( he

only prolong this stagnation In muni

.1 CM'SH OF I'ltWK.
"It flhould be the common prldo of
all that we are Americans and Intend
at nil hazards and at all times to pre
serve. American Integrity and credit nnd
uphold public law. " Tills wns said by
the republican candidate for president
at the conclusion of nn earnest and elo
quent appeal to keep the national honor
unstained one of many lie has made
since the campaign oponed. Contrast
tills utterance with the Inflammatory
appeals of Mr. Hryan to prejudice ami
passion and sectionalism. On the same
day Hint Major McKlnley gave expres
sion to the sentiment quoted above Mr.
Hrynn was telling the people of West
Virginia that the capitalists of Ihe coun
try are their enemies and fo-jterlng the
feeling of class hostility , as he has been
doing everywhere , not only In this cam
paign , but for Iho last two or three
years , or ever since1 he became an ad
vocate of free silver. In all this tlmo
he has been the herald of discontent
and dissatisfaction , Instilling into Ihe
minds of the people ( he most dangerous
sentiments . For several years past the
sectional and class Issue has been the
one most familiar to those who have
engaged In campaigns where the ques
tion of free coinage has been brought
before the people and no one has been
more prominent or persistent In pushIng -
Ing this alleged antagonism than W. .1.
Hryan. His earliest speeches upon Ihe
tariff question were filled with denun
ciations of men of means and managers
of capital , who , he charged , had built
up enormous fortunes at the expense of
the agricultural classes. lie has a rec
ord In nearly every speech he has made
of using tlie class cry. It is to be found
In almost everything he said while In
congress. The poor were constantly
contrasted with the rich , the debtor
with the creditor. The class Is
sue was raised in the earliest speech
which Mr. I'.ryan delivered In the house
of representatives and he has been mak
ing use of it ever since.
Tile standard bearer of the republican
party utterly rejects the false and
dangerous view that there are an
tagonistic classes in tills republic and
ho also refuses to countenance ( lie sug
gestion that there are hostile sectional
interests , lie maintains , what every
fair-minded man knows to be true , that
there are no privileges or opportunities
In this land ( hat are not open to every
eltlxen , while the Interests of all are
Interdependent. lie is proud of the
American name and of the credit and
honor of his country. lie Insists that
the high character this nation has
always maintained for integrity , for
faithfully meeting every obligation ,
shall remain untarnished. lie believes
that for the government as well as for
the individual honesty Is the best policy
and the proposition to repudiate any
part of the Just obligations of the gov
ernment is revolting to him , as It must
be to every high-minded , honorable and
patriotic man. Major McKinley appeals
to tlie best Instincts of tlie people. He
admonishes them to keep In the path
of honor and honesty , to uphold public
law and to respect those whom they
have placed In authority. Tlie appeals
of Mr. Hryan are the very opposite of all
this. They are addressed to the baser
instincts of men and their whole ten
dency Is to lower and degrade public
sentiment. More than'this the effect is
to engender hatred and antagonism
which are a menace to peace and order.
If not , , Indeed , to republican government.
Ho tcachps disrespect of authority , dis-
.trust of that department of the govern
ment established by the founders of the
republic as the bulwark of free institu
tions , and seeks to impress the people
with the- idea that they are no longer
the sovereign power , thereby inciting in
them the spirit of revolution. There is
a vast and vital contrast between the
statesmanlike and patriotic utterances
of McKinley and the demagogic and
demoralizing teachings of Hryan.

The fact that wheat has been ad
vancing while silver has declined fur
nishes an instructive object lesson for
those who have persistently contended
that there is a close relation between the
prices of silver and wheat. The fal
lacy of this notion has been frequently
pointed out , lint present facts may be
more convincing than those of the past.
These are Unit silver has fallen in price
during tlie last few weeks and in the
same period wheat has gone up , the
separation amounting to about IS cents.
Here Is direct , and unimpeachable evi
dence of ( he unwarranted assertion of
the free silver men regarding the rela
tion between silver and commodities ,
particularly wheat. It demonstrates be
yond a doubt that there is no such re
lation as claimed ami what Is shown to
be true now has always been true.
It will | M > pertinent In this connection
to refer to some earlier facts which
show the falsity of the claim of the
free silver men that the prices of wheat
and silver began to fall In 1ST. ! and have
fallen continuously ever since. The
record of prices In Chicago shows that
wheat , Instead of beginning to fall In
price In 1ST5 ; , did not commence to fall
until ISSit ; on the contrary , In
1SSU It was several points higher
than In ] S71-7. > and ISTii , and
In issi It was higher than It
had been at any time during the
previous ten years , with ono exception.
During the same period , when wheat
was keeping Its price and frequently
rising , silver fell more than 11 ! per cent ,
thus showing that there was no connec
tion between the two. Mr. .7. Helwln
Tall , who Is an authority on the subject ,
says : "miring thu crlsl.s of 1SSI-S5
wheat fell considerably , there being a
drop of 'JO iH'r cent In It as compared
with a fall of n pur cent In silver.
Omitting exceptional years like that of
the llutchlnsoii wheat corner , wheat
went up to a somewhat higher average
until IKS1. ) , while silver was steadily
going downwards. In 1SOO sliver rose
1-1 per cent by reason of the govern
ment's large purchase of silver bullion ,
while wheat remained stationary. The
following year sliver fell S per cent ,
while wheat rose 11 per cent. In ISHU
wheat was about the same price as It
was in JSSJ , while silver was very
much lower than It had been at that
time. " Manifestly the contention thati
there Is any connection between tin
price of silver nnd the price of when
cannot stand In face of these hulls
putnWo facts.
At his .speech at 1'nrkersbtirg. W. Va.
Mr. Hryau Informed his auditors that lit
Intended to keep up his car-end speech
making tour until the very close of tin
campaign , when he would hold It
Nebraska on the hist evening ( lie onlj
meeting he expects to have In his liomt
stale before election day.
Without , of course , professing to
speak for Mr. Hryan's followers in thlf
vicinity , we ask in all candor , Is thlf
not giving Nebraska a very cold
shoulder ? When Mr. Hrynn's nomina
tion was announced his friends anil
neighbors conjured up beanllful vision ?
of all the advantages that wen1 to
accrue to them from having n presi
dential candidate In the slate. Thej
pictured tin1 vast throngs that woiilt
come to wait upon him In Ids home and
the special attention he and his man
agers would give toward assuring for
him the electoral vote of his own slate.
To say everyone , Including ills follow
ers , lias been disappointed is putting It
mildly , to say the least. During the
two brief Incursions which he made
Into Nebraska , he excited no unusual
enthusiasm and attracted no visitors-
worth mentioning , rindlm : Unit thu
people would not come to see 1dm lie has
gone to thrust his presence upon them ,
and Nebraska , except for the advertise
ment now and then , has been scarcely
aware that the popocratic nominee was
chosen from among its citizens.
One meeting on the eve of election is
all that the popocratic candidate will
accord this great state. In return for
such shabby treatment Nebraska is
certainly under no obligations to Mr.
Hryan.
iropM > c.i/mr oin- Tin ; i > iA'rroiiM.
There- are men who profess to believe
that If Mr. Hryan should be elected hr
would not attempt to carry out some of
tlie objectionable doctrines and demands
of the Chicago platform. They say that
when he came to a practical realiza
tion of the great responsibilities of the
presidency he would refuse to do some
of those things which the platform calls
for and to which he is now pledged.
Postmaster Genera ! Wilson , who served
in congress with Mr. Hryan , is not of
this opinion. He said in a recent Inter
view : "There can be no doubt that Mr.
Hryan would carry out his promised
policy. There should be no mistake
about that. lie Is thoroughly in
earnest. " Undoubtedly Mr. Wilson Is
right. Mr. Hryan has mrnualiliedly en
dorsed the Chicago platform , lie lias
icpeatedly declared that ho fully ap
proves its every doctrine and demand.
There is no reason to doubt his sin
cerity. Therefore in the most improb
able event of his election , with a con
gress in sympathy , there undoubtedly
would be legislation prohibiting con
tracts for gold payments , the civil serv
ice system would be abandoned and
there would be a reorganization of the
supreme court. Mr. Hryan fully be
lieves that those things should be done
and if it were conceivable that lie might
become more conservative after having
attained power the pressure from his
supporters would bring him Into line.
Whoever imagines that Mr. Hryan
would not endeavor to carry out every
policy of the Chicago platform is de
luding himself.
The local liryau organ , tlie Omaha
World-Herald , Hies into a tantrum over
the request of the Hnrllngton Ilawkeye
that it give its readers thu benefit of
tlie correct text of Ihe Hismnrck letter
alongside of tlie garbled Culberson
translation. Instead of showing that II
lias acted "in consonance with hones !
Journalism" ( he World-Herald only puts
Its course of imposture and deception
in worse light.
Tlie World-Herald says It printed the
Culhcrson garbled translation in Its is
sue of September lit and that It printed
the Schulze correct translation in Us is
sue of September lil ! . It neglects , how
ever , to state thai It reprinted theCulhcr-
son garbled translation of tlie Hlsmarck
letter In Its issue of September : iS and
that time in conspicuous position under
misleading headlines on its editorial
page. In other words , it chose lo palm
off on its readers the garbled translation
; i second time two days after it had
seen the correct version and after it
hail been apprised that the garbled
version put words Into Hisinarck's
mouth that lie never uttered.
And now the World-Herald has the
effrontery to assert that "the difference
between tin1 two translations Is not
material" and thai "so far as the de
pendence lo be placed upon the two
translations Is concerned , Ihe World-
Herald prefers to accept that presented
by a man like Governor Culbnrson
rather than the one presented by a
gentleman entirely unknown to UH. " It
Is really a pily that there Is no one
on the editorial staff of ( he great silver
organ sulilcieiilly educated to bo fa
miliar witli the rudiments of tlie Ger
man language and to read the orlglmil
text of lite lilsmnrck letter as printed
In Thft Hee to satisfy himself of the
unwarranted liberties taken by Translator
later ( 'iilhcr.son. Under the circum
stances we see no way out for "an hon
est Journal" except by printing the
original German text of ( ho letter , to
gether witli the garbled anil correct
translations , nml letting Its readers who
know something about the meaning of
language Judge for themselves whether
there is any material difference. In
this connection The Hee's offer still
holds good to donate the use of the
text as printed In Its columns In case
Ihe ilnanclal condition of ( ho World-
Herald would make the expense of
having ( lie letter set In German ( ype
unduly burdensome.
Kvery newspaper In the country was
justified In ncceptlng the Culborson
reading as authentic up to ( he time

A well known contemporary explains
Hryau's course In insisting on Invading
"tin1 enemy's country" thai he thinks
he Is merely performing the preparatory

cans. It Is made up of men capable1 and
competent , and -cancclally strong In
dividually and collectively. All republicans
are standing by It and wilt vote for It.
and many democrats and populists do like
wise.
Wallace Tug : It Is entirely safe to place
Nebraska in the republican column when
ligurlng on what will happen on November
3. Nebraska voters will as quickly giasp
the correct idea as the voters of any other
state- . They have been studying the money
question , and are no longer thrilled by
Mr. Hryan's brilliant nothings.
Tccumsch Chieftain : Many of the best
Informed politicians In the state are firm In
the belief that McKinley will carry Ne
braska. It certainly looks that way. The
republican forces are gaining strength dally
and the opposition Is losing correspondingly ,
The more the people think and read the
more numerous are the converts to repub
licanism.
riattsmouth News : The nryan papers
brag ' about their gain of Ktrcngth , but so
far as this county is concerned wo can
count a gain of live for sound money for
every man that has taken up the sliver
cause since the last election. If our neigh
bors don't believe this , let them trot out
the names and we will match them with
five to one.
Stanton Picket : When the returns are
nil counted after the event of November
3 , Nebraska will bo found In the same
column with Maine and Vermont. Ne
braska is going to show to the world hnr
Intent and ability to set down mighty harden
on the gan ; ; of repudlators who would defile
her fair name , and that though Iho chief of
the bond has his rendezvous within her bor
der limits.
York Times : Has anybody seen "Wall
Street" cut here trying to slap mortgages
onto Nebraska farmers lately ? The blear-
eyed robber docs not seem very anxious
to get farm mortgages In this country. It
has been more than a week since Itolhs-
ehllds or any plutocrat has been seen skulk-
lilK In the groves along the creek. There
will probably not be many mere- mortgages
In this country while tlio free silver crae
lasts. Wo all ought to he awful glad of
that.

Wnkcfleld Republican : Nebraska wants
to come out on solid ground this fall by
giving McKlnloy and Hobart her electoral
vote by a decisive majority over the hosts
of fusion and confusion , sending six repub
lican representatives to congress and electIng -
Ing a straight republican state ticket from
top to bottom. Such a variety of sound
business sense over financial vagaries will
restore confidence In us as a people , set us
right before the world In the matter of com
mon honesty and will prove to be the herald
of progress and unexampled prosperity.
Seward Reporter : Renewed activity Is
manifest In republican circles all over the
state , and an Increased confidence of suc
cess is a consequence. There has been no
lack of work for several weeks past , but as
the last month of the campaign approaches
republicans everywhere are redoubling their
efforts. Many meetings are being held
every evening , under the auspices of the
state committee and the several county com-
nltteos , and the most efilclent work Is being
lone all over the state. Encouraging re-
> orts are heard from nearly all sections ,
nnd the election of McKinley electors and
the whole state ticket by good majorities
s confidently expected. Every republican
should constitute himself a committee of
ono to see that this result Is accomplished.

Is the country going to the dogs for lack
of enough silver money , as the advocates
of the fieo coinage of silver nssert ?
Circular No. 12.1 of the United States
Tieasury department ( second revised edl
tlon ) , page 01 , under the head of "Coinage
of Silver , " says :
"The government Is still coining stand
ard silver dollars from the bullion purchasei
under the act of July M , 1S)0. ! ) The amoun
of bullion on hand November 1 , 1893 , when
the purchasing clause of the act was re
pealed , was 1 IO,69'JS32.C7 fine ounces , cost

was $181,311,961. LJctwccn November 1 , 1SHI !

from this bullion 15,1G,401 ! ) standard silver
dollars , of which $10-I10,52S represent the
cost of the bullion coined and are held In
the treasury for the redemption of treasury
notes of 1S90 , while the remainder , $ J,758-
433 , constitute the gain or seigniorage , nnd ,
being the property of thu United States , have
been paid Into the treasury to be used llko

"The seigniorage Is an addition to the

whereupon Iho latter are canceled and re

That most of this coinage has been dur

Ono of .Mr. Hryan's strong points In his
appeal to the western farmers Is that the
low jirlco of wheat Is caused by the demone
tization of sliver. To be sure , wheat was
hlghe-r in JSTfi or In 1SS1 than It had been
in 1S70 , but facts are unimportant In connec
tion with "tho crime of 1S73. " Wheat has
unquestionably fallen In price , and so has
silver ; therefore , If we inllato the price of
silver , the price of wheat must rise.
If the decline of wheat has been duo to
thu decline of silver , how does' It happen
that the price of wheat Is now rising , while
that of silver Is still going down ? In the
last week of August , the prlco of De-cumber
wheat In Chicago was C3 cents a bushel. On
Saturday last It was C7 cents , an advance of
11 cents , or moro than 23 per cent. In live
weeks. At the former date tho'price of bar
silver In New York was 07 % cents an ounce1 ,
and on Saturday it was G5 % cents , a decline
of 2 per cent.
Clearly the prices of both commodities arc
regulated In the1 same way , by the world's
supply and denami. We produce in this
country mory wheat than wo consume , and
the jirlco ut wh'cli we can sell the surplus
abroad determines tbo prlco it will com
mand lit home. When the foreign demand
is small or the supply from other countries
abundant wheat declines ; when exports in-
e-roaso prices rise again.
lOvrn the most confiding' populist must
perceive that the recent upward movement
In the grain market has not been brought
about by free colnago or by the promise of
It. Silver has not shared In the advance , as
It should liavo done by thu populist theory ,
because there has been no Increased de
mand for It , anil a bushel of wheat will buy
actually moro silver today as well as moro
Iron or steel or aluminum than when It
was BollliiiC at a dollar. And with the rise
In wheat the quotations of liryan stock de
cline.
