Tfee prlncl- pi feature of the annual banquet of tha Xaaeaa Day club, aa organisation of yoxir.g republicans, tonifbt. waa tha ad divas of Lafayette Youaa", editor of tha Pea Moines (la.) Capital. Mr. Young- said In part: Sot since tha days of' James' Buchanan' have the democrats had enough votera of their own to elect a president. President l leveland waa alectea twice by republi cans. Tha democrats have no hope thia jear except as they win republican votes. What do they propose to win these votes onT Tha answer is, Tha tralff question. What do they offer that is new upon that subject? Nothing that haa not been of fered by the same party every year since the party haa been In existence. It Is sin gular that the democratic party can only aacure republican votea on tha tariff ques tion when the country is prosperous. It seems that there are some republi cans who have a wlaer philosophy in ad versity than In prosperity. They know tha source oT adversity, but sometimes forget the source of prosperity. At the present time the democrats in congress are saying that our foreign markets are circumscribed by American protective duties. They say that wa are hampered in our sales abroad liecauaa wa refuse to buy abroad. In a speech in congress a few daya ago a distinguished- democrat from Massachusetts wait, wo must have a free exchange of natural products with the Dominion of Canada. He said such sn srrangement would give them In Massachusetta cheaper farm products for food. His proposition Involves a swapping of mora than a.UUO.000 of the consuming population on the Ameri can aide of the Canadian border In auch cities as Boston. Chicago, Minneapolis, 81. l'aul, Buffalo, Detroit and Toledo for a pro ducing and nonconsunvlng population to- rated In Canada. In other words, the Mas- chusetts ma proposes to feed all these fiitKna nf f ha dtiea with the nsailir 1'tn- a adlan products, wnue tne Iowa ana Kan A aaa products must Join tha surplus that " goes to Europe. This he calls reciprocity In competitive or natural products. Reciprocity bears the same relation to tha system of protection which bimetal- lam bore to tha system of sound money sn-1 the gold standard. Men used to say, "I am a blmetallst." because they did not care to say they were for silver. Men are now boaatlng that they are In favor of reclDrocltv as a oolite way of saying that thav are In favor of tariff lippiag. There are few who now advocate true reciprocity aa suggested bp Blaine. Tariff Is the Mark. The vehement advocate of reeeprwrty usually has a grudge against the tartsc as a mm principle. He kows that In tn.ee of the fact that we are now selling mwe abroad than ever before he cannot advo eate free trade. He knowa that If be goes cut Into the pasture to capture the Ameri can farmer this year for free trade, he must carry the reciprocity brWle behind err him. Even then ha will hardly be able to catch him If. In the first arrangement of reciprocity tha farmer Is to be the first man to be traded off. It Is time to call things by their right names In the discus sions of this year. When a man says he Is in favor of admitting farm products free to open a new market for manufac tures In Canada, you can rest assured that his next proposition will be. after he has enlarged his surplus of farm proucta. to slaughter tha manufacturer by lowering the duties on manufactured goods for the ostensible purpose of finding a market for the American farm surplus, which, by a former trade, he haa Increased. Buch an advocate enjoys these proceedings, because he Is usually against the tsrlff altogether. This country hss a surplus of farm prod ucts. Then why increase It from Canada! Reciprocity Is to be the bait on the demo cratic hook to catch the republlcana this year. In 18W the bait was thrown out to the worklngman. he being told that pro tection did him no good; thst It simpiy Increased the price of all that he had to buy and did not Increase his wages. The worklngman bit at the hook In 1891 and for a long time after had nothing to do but reflect. It Is evident that the democ Umm ma hnn of fooling the wrnre- wnrkar this time, but has placed its hope entirely in the farming districts. Congressman Victor Murdock also made an address.

Circular letters are being scattered among the taxpayers of Sarpy county requesting them to be present at a meeting to be beld at the courthouse here Saturday afternoon to look Into the action of the eounty board relative to the expenditure of the county funds by them. These circulars bear the signatures of the most prominent men of the county: J. J. Bishop, C. D. Brown, W. H. Bets, C. E. Keyes, John Ward. F. D. Trumble, C. W. Schobert. William McCarthy, J. H. Flei scher, W. H. Davidson, I. li. Clarke. A. W. Clarke, A. H. Frieke, T. E. Gledhlll, Robert Schramm, A. W. Trumble and George Becker. Aa stated some time ago proceedings have been Instituted In the district court against the county board whereby It Is sought to restrain the board from allowing Bridge Contractor Sheeley to proceed with the con struction of the bridges In the county. The board had allowed a 15,000 claim made by Sheeley for work on the Elkhorn river bridge and at once the taxpayers were up In arms sgalnst the action, claiming the board acted without authority, as there was no contract between the eounty and Sheeley. The commissioners st once re considered their action and the SS.ono re mains unpaid pending the settlement of the matter In the district court. Bheeley'a con tract with the county has expired and County Attorney Patrick takes the stand that the board's action haa been clearly illegal and void. The county board and Shefley stand shoulder to shoulder, and It is alleged are working against the best In terests of the county and trying to obtain leave of the court for an accounting be tween the county snd Sheeley In the In junction suit brought by County Attorney Patrick against them Individually. The meeting Saturday promises to be red hot, the taxpayers claiming they will know where they are at the conclusion of the meeting. It seems to be a case wherein the citizens of the entire county are sr rayed against the county board. Interferes with Wrdilsg Trip. FLATTSMOUTH, Neb., Jan.
