The republican party remains faithful to
Its principle of a tariff which supplies suf
jflcicnt revenues for tho Kovernmont and ad
fuato protection to our enterprises and
producers; and of reciprocity which opens
foreign markets to tho fruits of American
labor and furnishes now channels through
which to market tho surplus of American
farms. Tho tlmo-honorcd principles of pro
tection and reciprocity were the first pledges
or republican victory to bo written Into pub
lic law
Tho present congress has given to Alaska
a territorial government, for which It had
waited more than a quarter of a century;
has established a reprefnntatlvo government
In Hawaii; has enacted bills for the most
liberal treatment of tho pensioners and their
widows, has revived th free homestead pol
Icy. In its great ilnanrlal law It provided
for the establishment of banks of Issue with
a capital of J2.1.000 for the benefit of villages
ami rural communities nnd bringing the op
portunity for prolltablo business In banking
within the reach of moderate rnpltal. Many

During the last year morn than J19.000.000
of I'nltcd States bonds havo been paid from
tho surplus revenues of tho treasury nnd
In addition J25, 000.000 of 2 per cents ma

proems of payment. Pacific railroad bonds
Issued by the government in aid of tho
roads lu the sum of nearly JII.O0O.00O have
been paid since December 31, 1S97. Tho
treasury balance Is In satisfactory condi

sexto held In the treasury. Tho govern
mont's relations with tho Paclllc railroads
havo been substantially closed, $121,421,000
being received from theso roadH, the
greater part In cash nnd the remainder
with ampin securities for payments de
ferred. Instead of diminishing as was predicted
four years ago. tho volume of our cur
rency Is greater per capita than It has
ever been. It was $2t!l0 In ISDiJ. It has
Incrrnsed to $26.50 on July 1, lflOO, and
$26.83 on September 1, 1000, Our total
money on July 1, 1806, was $1.506, 134.966;
on July 1. 1900, It was $2,062,425,400, nnd
$2.0?,f83.0l2 on September 1, 1900.
Our Industrial nnd agricultural condi
tions aro moro promising than they have
been fr many years; probably more so
than they Save ever been. Prosperity
abounds overywhero throughout tho re
public. I rejolco that tho southern, ns
woll ns tho northern states, are enjoying
a full share of theso Improved national
conditions and that ull aro contributing so
largely to our romarkable Industrial de
velopment. Tho moneylender receives
lower rewards for his capital than If It
wero Invested In active business. The
rateB of Interest aro lower than they have
ever been In this country, while those
things which aro produced on tho farm
nnd In tho workshop, and tho labor pro
ducing them, have advanced In value.

Our foreign trade shows n satisfactory
nnd Increasing growth. Tho amount of
our exports for the year 1900 over those
of the exceptionally prosperous year of
18S9 was about $500,000 for every day of
the year, and these sums havo gone Into
the homos nnd enterprises of tho people.
There has been an lncreaso of over $50,000,
000 In tho exports of agricultural products,
$92,692,220 In manufactures nnd In thn
products of thn mines of over $10,000,000.
Our trade balances caunot fall to give
satisfaction to tho people of tho country.
In 189S we sold nbroad $615,432,676 of prod
ucts moro than wo bought nbroad. In 1S90
$.'.29,874,813 and In 1900 $544,471,701. mak

In our favor of $1,6S9. 779.190 nearly live

thn wholo period of 10S years from 17S0
to Juno 30, 1897, Inclusive.
Cold Stock Anmiirnteil by Million...
Knur hundred nuil thirty-six million dol
lars of gold havo been added to the gold
stock of tho United States slnco July 1,
18P6. Tho Inw of March 14. 1900. authorized
tho refundlug Into 2 per cent bonds of that
part of tho public debt represented by tho
3 per cents duo In 190S, tho 4 per cents
duo In 1907 nnd tho 5 per cents duo In
1904, aggregating JStO.000,000. More than
ono-thlnl of tho sum of theso bonds was
refunded In the first three months nfter
tho passage of the act, nnd on September 1
the sum had been Increased moro than
$33,000,000. making In all $33O,57S,05O, re
sulting In a net saving of over $8,379,520.
Tho ordinary receipts of tho government
for the fiscal year 1900 wore $79,627,060 In
excess of Its expenditures.
While our receipts both from customs
and Internal revenue have been greatly In
creased, our expenditures havo been de
creasing. Civil nnd miscellaneous ex
penses for the fiscal year ending Juno 30,
1900, wore nearly $11,000,000 less than In
1S99, whllo on tho war account thoro Is a
decrease of moro than $95,000,000. Thent
wero required $S, 000, 000 less to support the
navy this year than Inst, nnd the ex
penditures on account of Indians were
nearly $2,750,000 less than In 1S99. The
only two Items of increase in the public
expenses of 1900 oer 18''!' are for pousloni
nnd Interest on the public debt. Tor 1900
wo expended for pensions $13'.', 331. 929, and
for tho flscnl yenr 1900 our payments on
this account amounted to $110,877,316. The
net Increase of Interest on the public debt
of 1900 over 1890 required by tho war loan
was $263,40S.25. While congress authorized
tho government to make, a wnr loan of
$400,000,000 nt tho beginning of tho war
with Spain, only $200,000,000 of bonds wore
Issued, bearing 3 per cent Interest, which
wore promptly and patriotically taken by
our citizens.
Tnintlott Will lie Itediieed,
Unless soiuothlng unforeseen occurs to
reduce our revenues or Increase our ex
penditures the congress at its next ses
sion should reduce taxation very ma
terially. Five years ago wo were selling govern
ment bonds beating as high as 5 per cent
Interest. Now wo aro redeeming them
with a bond nt par. bearing 2 per cent
Interest. We nro selling our surplus
products and lending our surplus money
to Kurope. One result of our selling to
other nntlons so much more tlian we have
bought from them during the last three
years Is a radical Improvement of our
financial relations The great amounts of
capital which have been borrowed of
Kurope for our rapid, material develop
ment hv remained n constant drain upon
our resources for Interest and dividends
and made our money markets liable to
aaataat disturbances by calls lor pay
ment or heavy sales of our securities when
ever moneyed stringency or panic orcurred
abroad We have now been paying these
debts ntid bringing home many of our se
curities and establishing countervailing
credits abroad by our loans and placing
ourselves upon n sure foundation of finan
cial Independence.

In the unfortunate contest between Great
Urltain ami the lloer states of South Africa
the Fnlted States has maintained an a
tltudo of neutrality In accordance with Its
well known traditional policy. It did not
hesitate, however, when requested by the
government of the South African repub
lics, to exercise Its good ofTices for n ces
sation of hostilities. It Is to bo observed
that whllo the South African republics
mado llko request of other powers the
United Sutes Is the only one which com
plied. The Hrltlsh government declined
to accept the intervention of nny power.
Iliti-nslnu of SI ere limit .Mnrlnr.
Nlnety-ono per cent of our exports nnd
Imports are now carried by foreign shlpa.
For ocean transportation we pay annually
to foreign shipowners over $163,000,000. We
ought to own the ships for our carrying
trade with the world and wo ought to build
them In American shlpynrds and man them
with American sailors. Our own citizens
should receive the transportation charge
now paid to foreigners. I havo called tho
attention of congress to this subject lu
my several annual messages. In that of
December 6. 1597, I said'
Most desirable, from cverv standpoint of
national Interest nnd pntil"ttsm Is tin; effort
to extend our foreign commerce, 'lo this
end our merchant marine should be Im
proved nnd enlarged. We should do our
full share nf the carrying trade of the
world. We i!o not do It now. We should
be tho laggard no longer
In my mcssaxo of Peccmber IMS, I said:
our nuttoniil development will be one
sided and unsatisfactory so long ns the re
markable growth of our Inland Industries
remains uiiuet ompnnled by progress on tho
seas There Is no lack of constitutional au
thority for legislation which shall give to
the country maritime strength commensu
rate with Its Industrial achievements and
with Its rank among tho nations uf the
earth.
The 'list venr h.n recorded exceptional
a.ilvltv In mir shlparls and the promises
of continued prosperity In shipbuilding; are
obundunt. Advanced legislation ror the
protection of our seamen has been enacted.
Our coast trade under regulations wisely
framed nt the beginning of the government
njid since shows results for the last fiscal
year unequalcd In our recoicls or those of
any other power. We shall fall to teallze
our opportunities, however, If we com
placently regard only matters at home and
blind ourselves to the necessity of securing
our share In the valuable carrying trade of
the world.
I now reiterate these views.
A subject of Immediate Importance to
our country Is tho completion of a great
waterway of commerce between the At
lantic and Pacific. Tho construction nf a
maritime canal Is now moro than ever In
dispensable to that lntlmato nnd ready
communication between our eastern nnd
western seaports demanded by the annexa
tion of tho Hawaiian Islands nnd the ex
pansion of our Inlluenco nnd trade In tho
Pacific.
Our national policy more Imperatively
than ever calls for Its completion nnd con
trol by this government, and It Is believed
that thn next session of congress, after re
ceiving tho full report of the commission
appointed under tho act approved March 3,
1899, will make provisions for the aure ac
complishment of this great work.
TnmtN Minultl Ur I'tinjslird.
Combinations of capital which control tho
market In commodities necessary to thn
general uso of tho people by suppressing
natural nnd ordinary competition, thus en
hancing prices to tho general consumer, aro
obnoxious to tho common law and the pub
lic, welfare. They aro dangerous conspira
cies against tho public good nnd should bo
mado tho subject of prohibitory or penal
legislation, Publicity will be a helpful In
lluenco to check this evil. Uniformity of
legislation In tho several states should bo
secured. Discrimination between what Is
Injurious and what Is useful and necessary
In business operations Is cssentlul to the
wIbo and effective treatment of this sub
ject. Honest co-operation of capital Is nec
essary to meet new business conditions and
extend our rapidly Increasing foreign trade,
but conspiracies and combinations Intended
to restrict business, create monopolies and
control priced should bs elfectlvely re
strained. llrait Service to l.llhor.
Tho best service which can be rendered
to labor Is to afford It an opportunity for
steady and remunerative employment and
give It every encouragement for advance
ment. The policy that subserves this end
is the truo American policy. The past
three yenrs have been more satisfactory to
American vvorklngmeu than many preceding
years. Any change of tho present Indus
trial or financial policy of the government
would be disastrous to their highest Inter
ests. With prosperity at homo and an In
creasing foreign market for American
products employment should continue to
wait upon labor and with tho present gold
standard tho worklngman Is secured against
payments for his lator In a depreciated cur
rency. For labor a ehort day '.s better than
a short dollar; ono will lighten tho bur
dens, tho other lessens tho rewards of toll.
Tho ono will promote, contentment nnd In
dependence, tho other penury nnd wnnt.
Tho wages of labor should be adequate to
keep tho homo In comfort, educate the
children and, with thrift and economy, lny
something by for the days of Intlrmlty and
old age.
Practical civil service reform has always
had tho support and encouragement of the
republican party. The future of the merit
system Is safe In Its hands.
During tho present administration as oc
casions have nrlsen for modlllcatlon or
nmeudment In tho existing civil service
law aud rules they have been made. Im
portant amendments wero promulgated by
executive order under date of May 29, 1899,
having for their principal purpose tho ex
ception from competitive examination of
certain places Involving fiducial y responsi
bilities or duties of u strictly confidential,
scientific or exccutlvo character, which It
was thought might better be lllled either
by noncompetitive examination or by other
tests of fitness In the discretion of tho ap
pointing oillcers. It is gratifying that tho
cxpcrlenco of moro than a year hns vindi
cated theso changes, in the marked Im
provement of the public service.
The merit system, ns far us practicable,
Is mndo the basis for appointments to olllce
in our new territory.

Tho American people nre profoundly
grateful to the soldiers, sailors and riinrlncs
who havo In every time of conflict fought
their country's battles und defended Its
honor. Tho survivors and tho widows and

These, with the soldiers of tho Spanish

guaranties to the people of Cubn.
Our Title to Porto Itleo,
We hold Porto Itlco by tho satuo title as
tho Philippines. The treaty of peace which
coded us tho ono conveyed to us the other.
Congress has given to this island a govern
ment In which the Inhabitants participate,
elect their own legislature, enact their
own local laws, provide their own system
of taxation and in those respects havo th"
same power and privileges enjoyed by other
tcrrItorle3 belonging to the United States,
and a much larpir measure of self-government
than was given to the Inhabitants of
Louisiana under Jefferson. A district
court of tho United States for I'orto Hlco
has been established and locul courts have
been inaugurated, all of which are In opera
tion. Tho generous treatment of tho Porto
Kteans accords with the most liberal
thought of our own country and encourages
the best aspirations of tho peoplo of the
Island. White they do not have Instant
free commercial Intercourse with tho
United States, congress compiled with my
recommendation by removing, on May 1
last, 85 per cent of the duties nnd provid
ing for tho removnl of the remaining 15
per cent on March 1, 1902. cr earlier If
tho legislature of Porto Hlco nhall provide
local rovenues for tho expenses of conduct
ing the government. During this Inter
mediate period Porto Klcan products com
ing Into tho United States pay a tariff of
15 per cent of tho rates under the Dlngley
act. and our goods going to Porto Hlco pay
a like rate. The duties thus paid and col
lected, both In Porto Hlco nnd the United
States, aro paid to the government of
Porto Hlco and no part thereof Is taken
by the national government. All of the
duties from November 1. 1898, to June 30,
1900, aggregating tho sum of $2,250,523 21.
paid nt the custom houses In the United
States upon Porto Hican products, under
the laws existing prior to the nbovo men
tioned net of congress, have gono Into the
treasury of Porto flico to relieve the desti
tute nnd for schools nnd other public pur
poses. In addition to this we havo ex
pended for relief, education nnd Improve
ment of roads tho sum of $1,51.1,081 95. Tho
United States military force In the Island
has been reduced from 11,000 to 1,500 men,
and native Porto Hlcans constitute for the
most part the local constabulary.
Under the new law nnd tho Inauguration
of civil government there has been n grati
fying revival of business. Tho manufac
tures of Porto Hlco nro developing; Its
Imports nre Increasing; Its tariff Is yield
ing Increased returns, Its fields are being
cultivated; free schools are being estab

barrassments Incident to a change of na

showing the good effects of Its new rela

For tho sake of full and Intelligent un
derstanding of the Philippine question, and
to glvo to tho peoplo authentic Informa

of Importance leading fip to the present

aro best revealed and can best be Judged
by what he has done and Is doing. It will
bo soen that the power of the government
has been used for the liberty, tho peace
and the prosperity of the Philippine peo

only against force which stood In the way
of the realization of theso ends.
On tho 25th day of April. 189S, congress
declared that a star of war existed be

May 1, 189S, Admiral Dowcy destroyed the

other things, to Immediately "publish a
proclamation declaring that we come not
to make war upon tho people of the Philip
pines nor upon any part or faction among
them, but to protect them In their homes.
In their employments and In their porsonal
and religious rights. All persons who,
either by nctlve aid or by honest submis

in Its efforts to give effect to this bene
ficent purpose, will receive tho reward of
Its support and protection."
On July 3. 1S9S, tho Spanish fleet In at

was destroyed by tho American fleet, and
on July 17, 1S9S, the Spanish garrison In

HEATH1CH. Neb.. Sept. 9. (Special Tele
gram.) George Noe, a truck gardener liv
ing about two and a ijuarter miles south
east of Wymore, was arrested last night
by Constable Joe Orlmes of this place
charged with being a participant In the
tuurdcr of David Jones, n protnlncnt
farmer living near Wyraoro, which oc
curred about three years ngo. Jone3 was
a well-to-do farmer who lived alone nnd
was reputed to bo quite wealthy. Ono
night about three years ago he was visited
by four masked men. who bound aud
gagged him nnd then tortured him by burn
ing his feet with coal oil to make him tell
whore his wealth was secreted. The old
man lived nbout two days after the terrible
ordeal beforo succumbing to his Injuries
nnd was able to give a fair description of
his assailants to the authorities.
Suspicion has been directed In a certain
direction ever since and detectives of the
Ilcatrlce Detective nnd Hloodhound associa
tion havo been devoting considerable time
to tho caso slnco Its occurrence. Having
obtained what Is considered strong evidence
against tho suspects, a warrant was Issued
yesterday afternoon and served by Con
stablo Orlmes against Noe. The other
three supposed participants In the crime
havo not yet been apprehended, but the
oillcers expect to get them tomorrow.
Oeorgo Noe when visited at the county
Jail last night by The llee representative
stated that his arrest was a complete sur
prise to him. He said. "I worked for old
Uncle David off and on for several years
beforo his death and was well acquainted
with him. I never Injured even a bird that
I know nf during my entire life and can't
seo why I should be arrested on this charge.
When Jones was killed I was home with
my family and we were nil asleep. I have
lived around Wymore for fifteen years past
and have borne a pretty fair name around
that community. As Ood Is my Judge I nm
an Innocent man."
Tho odlcers claim to havo a strong case
against Noe and promise sensational de
velopments. HKC11I2T OK DORfjIIY'.M DRFKCTION.

titln's Co m I n k Out for Ilr.iun,
KBAHNHY, Neb., Sept. 9. To the Kdltor
of The llee: Much has been printed und
said nbout Captain D. A. Dorsey of Kear
ney, withdrawing his support from .Mi Kin
by nnd placing It with Ilryan, and lu the
World-Herald of August 3, on tho first
page, under a scare head, appeared a piece,
In substance, as follows: "Captnln D. A.
Dorsey. a life-long republican and honored
soldier, says tho republic must bo saved,
that he will stump the state, ns he puts It,
In the Interest of republican Institutions.
Captain Dorsey Is a resident of Kearney,
was an ofllcer In tho union army and a
member of the party thut made up the
famous Andrews raid, for which gallant
and hazardous services congress vetod
him a medal."
Tho paper goes on to say that Captain
Dorsey Is an old pioneer nnd helped mako
tho republican party, that ho declares he
Is still a republican, but, supports Dry. in
becauso he wants to save 'the republic as
woll ns tho party that saved the union.
It further states that he has bean a fa
miliar figure In Nebraska and a potent
factor In politics.
The above piece looks well In print and
reads ltke tho truth, but It Is not. It Is
true that Mr. Dorsey has gone from the
republican party and will support Mr.
Ilryau, but ho did not leave the republican
party for the reasons given. Tho roal
reason Mr. Dorsey Is against the present
administration Is becauso It took a hand
In the support of his family. For a num
ber of years Mr. Dorsey has been drawing
a fair sized pension, and Instead of staying
at home and trying to support his family
ho has spent his time and money In tho
east, delivering lectures on the Andrews
raid, and lobbying down nt Washington
with the hope of sieurlng a larger pen
sion.
A son of Captain Dorsey, who Is In the
g -eminent service in tnis city, lias ror
u number of years been tho sole support
of the family, but recently a bill passed
by congress compelling porsnns drawing
pensions to help support their families en
abled a momber of Mr. Dorsey's family to
ask tho government for a portion of his
pension. This request was referred to
Mr. Dorsey, with tho statement that he
would elthor havo to give a portion of his
pension to the support of his family or go
home and live with them. He adopted the
latter course. Up to within two months
ngo It did not occur to Mr. Dorsey that
ho could lay his trouble against McKlnley,
but some of his populist friends have been
telling him what an abused man he Is
until ho belclves what thoy say. There nro
very fow persons In Kearney who havo
not heard Mr. Dorsey praise McKlnley and
state that expansion was tho proper thing,
and If ho ever attempts to swallow what
ho has already said In favor of the repub
lican administration he will choke In three
seconds. If Mr. Dorsey has the nsrvo to
stand up In front of friends who are ac
quainted with his family affairs and abuse
McKlnloy and tho republican party then
ho will bo tho first person to ahuso that
which helps his family to live. Mr. Dorsey
was a cnndldato for Justice of the pence
before tho republican convention last
spring, but failed by many votes to secure
the nomination. Mr. Dorsey controls no
votes, not oven his own, so tho republicans
havo lost little nnd the democrats gained
nothing. T. O. MAI.LALIEU.

John II. Downing, n prosperoui farmer of

two bushels (o the acre, and at present
prices each acre produced $21.60, making a
gross Income of 05 per cent for one year.
D. C. Kuns. a farmer In the south part of
the county, raised too acres of winter wheat
which he hns threshed nnd has stored In
his granaries over 12,000 bushels of winter
wheat, worth $0,200 at present prices. Es
