The Omaha invasion of the sunny

proper pin poses. The expedition car-
lies the Hag of the Tiausmlssls-dppl i\- :

In the Keysor d > clsloii , on the other

' 1 ho Oormaii ngrarlans hnrc scored another -
other siiccosi In Inducing the sovorn-
incut to prohibit tlio Importation of
American fresh fruit. The fruit Undo
of tlio United States with CSormnny has
boon .steadily crowing , tlio value of the
exports last year , according to the latest
Mu'ines of the bureau of statistics , beIng -
Ing between $1,000,000 and $ ' ,000,000
and greater than to all the rest of
nmope outside of the United Kingdom.
A laige pait of this trndo has been In
gieen apples nnd It is chiefly ngalnst
this fruit that the latest decree Is aimed.
Of course the claim Is sit up that the
exclusion Is oidetcd on sanltaiy grounds ,
It being nsserted that Callfoinla and
other U'linln threaten fruit trees , but
theio can bo no doubt that this Is a mnro
pretext , just as was the piofessed
loasoii for excluding Ameiican moats
In taking this action without previous
notice to the Amoilcan ambassador anil
minimal lly shutting out shipments of
A mot lean fmlts that wore about enter
ing the country , the Gorman govern
ment dlhtlnctly manifested a sphlt of
hostility to the coiiimeicial Interests of
thu United States Avhlch can Imrdly fail
to strengthen the sentiment hoio In favor
of lot.Ulatlou.
Thine has boon some talk of contem
plated negotiations between ( toinnny
and the United States looking ; to a reel-
pioclty agioemeiit , but the latest blow
of th" Herman , government to our trade
\\lth that empire does not indicate a
doslio to piomoto closer coinmoiclal re
lations. There Is no doubt tlint there
exists In Ooiniany a very geni'ial and
iiilliHMitlal .sentiment In f.nor of dU-
eliminating against Ameiican iiiodncts
In oM'O pr.ictliablo way. This Is not
due solely to the differential duty In our
tin Iff on ( lei man sugar , but also to the
fact that neaily all Gorman Indiistiles
have been hint by the Anglican tin Iff.
There has boon a giuat falling off In
the oxpmts of ( Joim.in manufactnies
to the t'nltoil States .since the Dlngloy
law went Into effect , the decrease In
some lines amounting to moie than " > 0
per cent. This Is In partoxplalii3tl by
the largo exports in anticipation of the
new tailll , but the fJoiinans have made
ii ] ) their minds lint lor soveialeais . at
least the } cannot hnv : so l.ugo a Miaro
ot the Ameilcin m.uket as they had
b.'on having and this leoling shongthens
the ngi.nian dein.iud lor dlscilniination
against Ameiican pioducts. The Janu
ary consular icports contain an exti ict
fioin a ( r'nman piper , sent by the
Ameiican consul at Choninlt/ which
It is slid that the iinivins.il opinion fa
uns lel.illiillon. "Tho goveinmont must
b given full power to put reprls ils in
opei.ition , " di'L'lar'1d thU piper. We do
not b"lle\o this is tlio unlveisal feeling
In Cot many , but It Is the feeling of the
class th.U evidently h.ib the gieaKst iu-
tluence with I ho go\erninont and it is
to be expected that theio v\\l \ \ bo
author concessions to this element.
It Is not piolmblo that the piotest of
the Ainoiic.iu amb.issidor against this
latest exhibition of Gennaii conuneical !
hostility will amount to an\thing. Un
doubtedly the decree will Mand. The
expressions at Washington favoiable to
letallatoiy measuios will doubtless be
widely approved , but that is a mattar
lor very c.uoful and stnious consideia-
tioii. Oblousl.lioweor . , this countiy
will have to mike .such concessions as
Oininaiiy wants or meet rct.illatlon with
ict.ill.ition.

While the decision of the snpiems
court upholding tlio validity of tlio Dong-
las county exposition bonds is veiy
gi.itllylng to the exposition manage
ment , it does not lolieve the people In
tel cstoil in Omaha fiom their moral
obligation to oontilbnlo the additional
funds needed by the exposition to meet
the incto.ised demands upon its rie.is-
111 y. Xot le s than S200000 moio than
has alieady been .snbsciibod will bo te-
( julrod to complete the buildings now
under way ami to eiect the now ones
that must bo built to accommodate ex
hibits In sight. It Is hoped one-thlid of
the amount needed will bo contilbnted
by i.illioads and other corporations that
have jiiomK-'d substantial assist nice.
The remiilnlng two-thlids must IIP
i.ilsed ftoni Omaha , business men and
icaltj ownois.
If one-half of the men who aio holding
back , although able and In honor bound
to assist in the gi"at entoipilso , would
come forwaid with their snbiciiptlonb
tlie gates of the exposition will bo
opi-nod without moitgaglng- receipts
in advance , and all stock sub-ciibois

howo\er , the in.inageinent Is coniellod ]
to struggle with financial problems ,
they will bo forced to curtail its
magnitude , and in so doing Ketlously
ImpelII success In point of attendance ,
WhatfUT is to bo done to strengthen
the exposition resouices must be done
within the next tidily days , The de-
mum ! for additional buildings and en
larged accommodat'ons ' Is pressing. It
cannot bo met unless plans aio at omv

It was to bo expected tint every
municipal dcprutincnt in tlio city hull
mil out of the city hall would piotiMt
igainst loduc'd appiopiiitloiis and
clamor for an Ineivaso In the levy. Tlio
taxpnyeis , whiise bnulciw h.ivo lioen in-
ciensod rather than docreas'd by t'io '
lew ( .ysteiu of assessment , will not view
the donmnd for a higher tax i.ito In
ho same light.
So far as wv can ascertain the only do-
nitment tlut will bo seilously crippled
ly the now le\y Is the Bowl of Public
AVoiks. The demand upon this dopnt-
nent for keeping the .stunts clean while
the city la iillod with exposition Alsltors
will ! > o much greater than it e\or has
boon. It costs money to kop tlio
Htieets clean , nnd If the fuiuU are not
plo\ldeil the .stioet.s win not bo Kept
clean , AVhlle undi'r pidlnaiy condltiona
It might have boon possible to i.iUo
money for this nmposu bj- private bub-
scrlptlon , It Is hardly feasible nt pros
out , nnd as a mntter of fact the bnrdpi
should bo berne pioportlonntcly by tlio
whole body of taxpayer * rather than b }
a Tow volunteers.
AI the snmo tluio It Is to the
Intetcst of the taxpayers nnd o
Omaha ns a city that the tax rale
should be as low ns possible con
slstont with the maintenance of clll

A
It Is rxtunnely inro and therefore al
the more giatlfylng to llml an antl-pio
tectlon paper boaitng testimony to the
success of an Industry which owes its
establishment and growth to the pollc.v
of protection. When the tariff net of
1MH ) imposed n duty on tin plate ever }
anti-protection paper In the country de
nounccd It ns an outrage upon the Amer
lean people and fieely prophesied that
the manufacture of tin plate to any con
sldorablo extent in this coutry oouh ;
never Ivo accomplished. It was declined
that the Welsh mnmifactmors. having
o\ery advantage , would continue to sup
ply the world and the only result ol
putting on a duty would be to compel
A11101 lean consumers to pay more foi
the \Volsh pioduct.
1'Uo ' all other anti-protection thcoiles
and prophecies. Jheso fulled and now ,
aftei a little more than seven years since
the enactment of the McKlnloy law , the
I idled States lias a tint ludustiy that is
supplying three-font thh of the homo de
mand and promises within a jvnr or two
to produce a surplus for expoit. llefoi-
rlng to the lom.nkablp giowth of this
Industiy , the Philadelphia Uecoul , which
opposed tlio duty , beats testimony to the
fact that a better quality of tin plate Is
mail in the United States than In Wales
and says "tlio mlgiatlon of the industiy
of manufactuiin tin plate fioni Kuropo
to Ameiica bus eomm'MKvd and the
ti.tde is likely to Increase year by year. "
There is no doubt of this and it Is a
sifo prediction that within the next tea
year-5 if not sooner the United States
will be exporting to the woild's markets
as much tin plate as the Welsh manu
facturers. Anifiicin Ingenuity and
skill , oneouiaged and stimulated by pio-
tection , his In a few jo.iis established
th's gie.it industiy on an enduilng basis
and It will continue to gtow.
nx-Oovoinor Monlll of Kansis , in a
letter to the executive committee of the
Sound Money league , said that tlu
sound money sentiment was rapidly
gaining gioiiud In ids .state. Kansis has
hid an experience in returning pios-
porlty which ceitalniy ought to Increase
the sound money sentiment there , but
she is not exceptional In tills respect.
Nebraska has also oxpoiiencfd almost
uapieccdented prospoiity and .so have
all th- western states that voted for fieo
silver In 1S90. There Is not one of them
in which piesont coiiditoiit , do not faup-
ply an incontrovertible argument for
sound money and for the maintenance
of the stuidind of values u'cogui/.od by
thcivill.cd woild.
Wo conlldently believe that sound
money sentiment is gaining ground
e\erywhc'io except In portions of th"
south where theio is scarcity of cui-
roncv and In the silver mining states.
Indeed it is highly piolnblo that In
some of the latter it Is stronger today
than a year ago , for it is hardly con-
cehable that the givatly Impuncd con
ditions in those states can have failed
to convince some of the snppoitei.s of
siher In the last national election that
this country can have prosperity with
out fieo silver. Bat it is well to leall/e
that the cheap money foices aie .still
numerous and to fully appiocl.ito the
necessity of keeping up an ag.ressi\e
light on them.
MIRPi'EisOT.l VISITORS.
The \Islt of Minnesota business men
who have come to Inspect the exposi
tion grounds and buildings ! with a view
to arranging for a representative exhibit
from the great .stutof Minnesota af
fords gratifying evidence ot * the friendly
interest of a neighboring state and poo-
pie. Minnesota has supplied Nebraska
with lumber , Hour , agricultural ma
chinery nnd other Industrial products ,
and Nebiaska will continue In ( lie fu-
tme , as in tlio pist , to be one of its
most profitable markets for the staples
and waioIn which It excels.
The participation of Minnesota in the
oxposltlon must manifestly prove of mu
tnal benefit. With the possible excep
tion of Nebraska no state In the
tiunsmlsslsslppi region has more to
gain In the exposition that will attract
millions of people from all .sections of
this and other countiles and will ad
vertlso to the world the vast and varied
natmal resources and lndnstil.il piogiess
of the greater west.
In extending a hearty greeting to the
members of the visiting delegation Morn
Minnesota Omaha feels assured tint
they will return homo with a most fa
vorable Impression of tli-a work ahead }
accomplished and the magnitude and
piospects of the great entoipilse.

Again the house of representatives has
proved Us right to bo considered aa the
conservative branch of congress. It voted
down the revolutionary Teller resolution
with everj evjdenco of contempt for the
resolution and the men who adopted It. 1
was the house that. In 1S90 , defeated the
frco coinage amendment to the Shcrn-in
act , proposed by the senate. It was the
houoe that , three veara later , in 1893 , re
sponded promptly to the wishes ot the people
and voted to repeal the ellrcr purchase
clause of the Sherman act. In the follow
ing jear the house of representatives strug
gled bravclj to oirry out In tariff leg'slatlon
the expressed nl'l ' of the people , vvlillo the
senate showed itself the mere tool of the
trw > ta and monopolies , and to mutilated the
house tariff bill that President Cleveland
refused to sign the measure.

The republicans In the house have com
mended themselves to the friends ot a sound
currency and of national honor. In no other
way could they have made so effective nn
answer to the Teller resolution. They have
said to the country that any attempt to
create distrust by an attack upon the public
credit must bo repelled without debate There
Is no moro In the Teller resolution to debate ,
under the circumstances , than there would
liavo been If , In January , 1861 , the house had
been forced to face a resolution proposing to
dissolve the union The promptness and em
phasis of the action of the republicans gives
courage and strengthens confidence In busi
ness ci-cles , Any sign ot wavering , any de
bate , oven to enable republicans to explain ,
would have been regarded as an indication
of lack of courage on the part of the major
ity to stand bj the implied pledges of the
party It represents.

President McKlnloy's speech t the dinner
Iti Now York on Thursday night may betaken
taken to bo an authoritative expression ot the
program ol the republican party In ttoo
political campaign of the coming > eir , No
ono who ro.ds the president's words , having
In mind existing political condltlono , can fall
to realize that In what he sajs ho Is prc-
tMrlng a platform not BO much for admin
istrative piuvoses as for political and pcvuMr
use With characteristic fatuity , the ail-
vo-atcs of sliver In the United States senate
give to 1'resldcnt McKlulcy the opportunlt }
to form this H > iholr ictlon In Introducing
the silver resolution they made it ovldrnt
that this Is not the time whtii n truce * can
be declared , for until the silver heresy ts >
stan pod out the future Industrial v-otull-
tlon ot cur country must bo clouded by un
certainty.
Taking with shrewd foresight the question
thus forced to the trout , President McKlnlcy
declaicij that It Is now necessary to carry
on an aggressive cairtalgn. "The peoples
purpose , " ho says , must be ghen the vitality
of uubllc law Hotter EU honest effort with
failure , than the avoiding of so o\tln and
commending n duty An honest nt-
tempt will bo the bc.t proof of sincerity of
purpose Discussion cannot viutt It will

If thebo utterances moan anything they
mean that a step forward Is to bo ti.ken from
the groundwork ot the republican platform
of 1S9G. Not only Is "the c\- sting gold
standard" to bo "preserved , " hut the fact
that We are a gold standard nation must
bo made the policy of the republican party ,
and must be unqualifiedly accepted , at least
so far as concerns all branches of the gov-
cinmcnt Taking the senatorial slhcrltes
at their word , the ptosldent proposes that
the campulgn In anticipation of the elee-
t ons next November shall be one In which
the gold nnd silver Issues shall be fairly
Joined. To our mind this Is not only heroic
hut nn eminently- sound position to take
If Mr. McKlnley Is thoroughly supported
m lih party , It Is. the ono way In which he
and they can win n victory. It Is the one
anl only way In which suniclcnt support
can be won foi republican o ndldntes to
