The people demand reform of exlntlnc
conditions. Since the last democratic ad
ministration the cost of living has rriev
cusly increased. Those having fixed in
comes have Buffered keenly; those living
on wages, if thre has been any Increase.
FiTM' fu, h '""ease not kept pace

cluoing rent and the heceesarles of life.
Many today are out of work, unable to se
cure any wagon at all. To alleviate these
conditions, insofar as Is In our power,
mould be our earnest endeavor.
Trut Remedies.
. I pointed out In my earlier response tha
remedy, which In my judgment can effec
tually be applied against monopolies, and
the assurance was then given that if exist
ing lawn. Including both statute and com
mon law, proved Inadequate, contrary to
jny expectations. I favor such further legis
lation, within constitutional limitations, as
will beat promote and safeguard the Inter
ests of all the pcuile.
Whether there fa any common law which
can be applied and enforced hy -the federal
courta cannot be determined by the presl
"'J?.1' I ,,v candidate for the presidency,
i J.'t df"""nlnBtlon of this question was
left by the people in framing the constltu
tton to the Judiciary and not to the execu
Ii'.vl.' V1" uPrm court of the United
Mtatea has recently considered this ques
tion, and In tha case of the Western Union
Telegraph Company against the Call Pub
lishing Coruranv, to be found In the mat
volume of the United States supreme court
reports, at page M. It waa decided that
common law principles could be applied by
li;- taK courts In cases Involving In
Lt. ' mnim"'M ln h absence of United
.iie,,",atute specifically covering the
case. Such la the law of the land.
Reciprocity.
; A my address to the notification commit
tee I aald that tariff reform ' la-demanded
Xy the best Interests of both manufacturer
und consumer." With equal truth It can
be said that the benefits of reciprocal trade
treaties would enure to both. That the con
sumer would be helped Is unquestionable.
That the manufacturer would receive great
benefit by extending his markets abroad
hardly needs demonstration. Hie produc
tive capacity ha outgrown the home mar
ket. The very term "home market" has
changed ln its significance. Once, from
the manufacturers point of view. It meant
expansion: today the marvellous growth of
our manufacturing Industries baa far ex
ceeded the consumptive capacity of our
domestic markets, and the term "home
market" Implies contraction, rather than
expansion. If we would run our mills to
their full capacity, thus, giving steady em
ployment to our workmen and securing to
them and to the manufacturer the profits !
accruing from increased nrorluetinn nth.r
markets must be founci Furthermore,
when our manufacturers are dependent on
raw materials In whole or part imported.
It Is vital to the extension of their mar
kets abroud that they secure their ma
terials on the most favorable terms.
Our martyred presloent. William McKln
ley, appreciatou this situation. He pointed
out ii his last addrefs to the people that
we niuat make sensible trade arrangements
If we ahall extend the outlets for our In
creasing surplus." He said: "A system
which provides a mutual exchange of com
modities is manifestly essential to the con
tinued and healthful growth of our export
trade. . . . The period of excluslveness
Is past. The expanslcn of our trade and
commerce Is the pressing problem. Com
mercial wars are unprofitable. A policy of
goodwill and lrlenjty relations will pre
vent reprisals. Reciprocity treaties are In
harmony with the spirit of the times;
erasures of retaliation are not."
This argument was made ln the Interest
of our manufacturers, whose products, he
tirged. "have so multiplied, that the prob
lem of more markets requires our urgent
and Immediate attention." He had come to
realize that the so-called "stand pat" pol
icy must give way that there must be a
reduction of duties to enable our manufac
turers to cultivate foreign markets. The
last words of this president who had won
the affection of his countrymen ought to
be studied by every man who has anv doubt
of the necessity of a reduction In tariff
rates in tho Interest of the manufacturer.
They present with clearness a situation and
a proposed remedy that prompted the pro
vision In our platform which declares that
"We favor liberal trade arrangements with
Canada and with .peoples of other countries
where they can bo entered into with bene
fit to American agriculture, manufactures,
mining or commerce."
The persistent refusal of the remihllean
majority in the federal senate to ratify the
reciprocity trcntles Decollated In pursuance
Of the policy advocated nlike hv Mr Rl.lna
1 and Mr. McKlnley, and expressly -sanctioned
In the fourth section uf the'Dinaicy
net Itself, is a discouraging exhibition of
bad faith. As already mentioned hy me,
the exorbitant duty Imnnsed on many an
Imported article by the Pingley tariff waa
nvowedly Intended hy Its author to be per
manent, but to serve temporarily as a max
imum, from which the federal government
waa empowered to offer n reduction. In re
turn for an equivalent concession on the
part of a foreign country. President Mc
Klnley undertook honfstly to carry out
the purpose of this section of the act. A
number of reciprocity agreements were
negotiated within the prescribed limitation
of two years, which. If ratified, would have
had the two-fold result of cheapening many
Imported products for American consumers,
and of opening and enlarging foreign mar
kets to American producers. Not one of

ihoee agreements has met with the ap
proval of the republican masters of the
senate. Indeed, they did not even permit
their consideration. In view of the attitude
of the present executive, jio new agreement
und.r the general treaty lowers need be
expected from him. Nor uwi the republican
rlatfortn contain a favorable reference to
" of the suspended treaties. This sec
tion of the LMngley act stands for this
monument of legislative cozxenage and po
litical bad faith.
Independence for the Filipinos.
. In some quarters It hat ben assumed
that the discussion of the Philippine ques
tion In my response, the phrase "self-guv.
ernment was intended to mean something
I' as than Independence. It waa not In
tended that it should be understood to
rman, nr do I think as used it does mean
less than IndercndeD'-e. However, to elim
inate all possibility for conjecture, I now
state that 1 am In hearty aif-ord with that
plank In our platform that favors doing
for the Filipinos what we have already
"lone for the Cubans; and I favor making
the ;rom'se to them now that we shall
take such action ss sen n tliev are rea
sonably prepared for it. If independence,
such as the Cubans enjov cannot be pru
dently granted to the Filipinos at this
time, the iromise that It sl.all come the
moment they ate capable of receiving it
will tend to stimulate rather than hinder
their development. And this should be
done not only ln Justice to the Filipinos,
but to preserve our own rights; for a free
people cannot withhold freedom from an
other people and themselves remain free.
The toleration of tyranny over others will
siion breed contempt for freedom and self
government, and weaken our power of re
sistance to Insidious usurpation of our con
stitutional rights.
American Citlsrashlp.
The pluige of the platform to secure to
our citizens, without distinction of race or
creed, wheiner native burn or naturalized,
at home and nbroud, the equal protection
of the laws and the enjoyment of ull the
rights and privileges open to them under
the covenants of our treaties, as their Just
due, should be made good to them. ln
the accomplishment of that result It is es
sential that a passport Issued by the gov
ernment of the L imed States to an Ameri
can citizen shall be nceepted the world over
as proof of citizenship.
Civil Service. -
The statute relating to civil service is the
outcome of the efforts of thoughtful, un
selfish and public spirited clnzens. Opera
tion under It ha frequently been of surh a
character as to offend against the spirit
of the statute, but the renulta achieved,
even under a partial enforcement of the
law, have been such as to both deserve and
command the utterance of the democratic
party that it stands committed to the prin
ciple of civil service reform and demands
Its Just and Impartial enforcement.
Reclamation of Arid Lsndi,
A vast expanse of country ln the west,
portions of which are to be found iu eacn
of the sixteen states and territories, men
tioned in the law. Is directly aftected by
the national statute the outcome of Intelli
gent and persistent eftoru of leading citi
zens, providing for the reclamation of the
arid lands lor the benefit of homeseekeis.
Liurlng the years of the development of tiie
measure which finally feoelved the vote of
every member of the upper house of con
gress, It encountered opi-osition, based to
a large extent upon the view that the aim
of its promoters was to secure me Oenenis
of irrigation to private owners at govern
ment expense. The aim of the statute Is,
however, to enable this vast territory to
reclaim Its arid lands without calling upon
the taxpayers of the country at large to
pay for lu Whether the purposes of the
hill will be fully accomplished must depend
In large measure upon the ability, sobriety
of Juogment. independence and honesty of
the orlicera of the interior department hav
ing this great work in charge.
ln l'.2 the main canils and ditches in the
region aftected aggregated more than &U.ouu
miles, and the work of reclamation is but
In its Infancy. The total cost of construc
tion of the necessary headgates. dams, main
canals, ditches, reservoirs and pumping sta
tions van at that time a little over J;'3,0w,
which of Itself suggests the hundreds of
millions that may eventually be invested
in the territory covered by the statute.
The magnitude of the conception and the
enormous expente its carrying out Involves
make us realize the overwhelming impor
tance of a broad, capaole ana honest ad
ministration of the work authorized by the
statute, If effect Is to be given to that
part of the plan that relieves the country
at large from ultimate liability.
Panama Canal.
An Isthmian canal has long been the hope
of our statesmen, and the avowed aim of
the two great parties, as their platforms
In the past show. The Panama route hav
ing been selected, the building of the canal
should be pre seed to completion with ull
reasonable expedition.
The methods by which the executive ac
quired the Panama canal route and rights
are a source of regret to many. To them,
the statement that thereby a great public
work was assured to the profit of our people
is not a sufficient answer to the charge of
violation of national good faith. They ap
preciate that the principles and healthy
convictions which ln their working out
have made us free and great stand firmly
against the argument or suggestion that
we shall be blind to the nature of the
means employed to promote our welfare.
They hold that adherence to principle,
whether it works to our good or ill. will
have a more bei.eftcent Influence on our fu
ture destiny than all our material upbuild
ing, and that we should ever remember
that the Idea of doing a wrong to a smuller,
weaker nation than we. or even all man
kind, may have a resultant good is repug
ant to tne principles upon wuicli our gov
ernment was founded.
I'nrter the laws of the United States the
duty Is Imposed on the executive to pro
ceed with due diligence in the work of
constructing the c"nl. That duty should
bo promptly performed.
American Shipping.
Our commerce In American bottoms
amounts to but S per cent of our total ex
ports and Imports. For forly years prior
to U01. when the republican party came
Into power, our merchant marine carried
an average cf SO per cent of our foreign
Commwree. r' . i i ' iv iiju " 1 '
per cent. Now we carry but a contemptibly
small fraction of our exports and Imports.
American snipping ln the foreign trade
was greater by almost K),X) tons in lSlo
nearly 100 years ago than it was last year.
In the face of the continuous decline In
the record of American shipping during the
last fortv-three years, the promise of the
republican prty to restore It Is without
encouragement. The record of the demo
cratic partv gives assurance that the task
can be more wisely entrusted to It.
It is an arduous task to undo the effect
of fortv years of decadence, and requires
the study and Investigation of those bet
fitted bv experience to find the remedy
which s'urelv does not lie In the granting
of subsidies, wrung from the pockets of all
the taxpayers.
Investigation of Government Depart
ments. Recent disclosures, coupled with the rapid
augmentation of govtrnment expenditures,
show a need of an investigation of every
department of the government. The demo
crats In congress demanded It The repub
lican majority refused the demand. The
people can determine by their vote In No
vember whether they wish nn honest and
thorough Investigation. A democratic con
grcss and executive will assure It.
Army and Xavy.
We are Justly proud of the officers and
men of our army and navy. Roth, how
ever, have suffered from the persistent in-
iectlon of personal and political Influence,
romoilons and appi Intmenta have been
frequently based on favoritism Instead of
merit. Trials and court-martials have been
set aside under clrcumstnnces Indicating
political Interference These and other
abuses should be corrected.
Praslons for Onr soldiers and Sailors.
The national democracy favors liberal
pensions to the surviving soldiers and
sailors snd their dependents, on the ground
that thev deserve liberal treatment. It
pledges by Its platform adequate legisla
tion to that end. Hut It deubs the right of
the executive to usurp the power of con
gress to lfglslste on that subject. 8uch
usurpation was attemptel by pension order
No. 7i, and efiect has been given to It by a
congress that dared n"t resent the usurpa
tien. It Is said that "this order was made
In the performance of a duty Imposed upon
the president by act of congress." but the
provision making the Imposition Is not
pointed out. The set to which the order
refers, which Is the one relating to pen
sions to civil war vetersna, d'ws not uu
tborlze pensions on the ground of age. It
does grant pensions to those "suffering
from any mental or physical disability, or
disabilities, of a permanent character, not
the reult of their own vicious habits,
which so Incapacitates them from the per
formance of manual labor as to render
them unable to earn a support." Thia
specified requirement of Incapacity Is In ef
fect set aside by order No. 7 as to all per
sons over i2.
The war closed nearly forty years ago. In
the meantime many of our aoldient and
sailors long survived the age of 6-', and
passd sway without receiving any pen
sion. Skillful pension rttorneys hunting
through the statute, failed to find there a
provision rlvli g a pension to all who had
reached 6X Many prominent veterans
urged the Justice of congressional action
flvlng a aervlce pension to all veterana.
Mils to that effect were Introduced In con
greaa. And not until March cf thla yesr
aid any one ever claim to have made the
discovery that the president had power to
treat the atatute as If It read that when a
claimant had ptksed the age of 2 years he
la necessarily iiisubled one-half in ability
to perform manual labor and therefore en
titled to a pension.

Foreign It fist Ions.
The foreign relations of the government
have In lat yenr assumed special Import
ance. Prior to the acquisition of the Phil
ippines, we were practically Invulnerable
agiinst attacks by foreign states Those
tropical possessions. . however. T.OfO miles
from our shores, have changed all this
and have in effect put us under bonds to
keep the peace The new conditions call
for a management of foreign off i Irs the
more circumspect in thnt the recent Amer-"
lean Invasion of foreign markets in nil
parts of the world has excited the serious
apprehension of all the great Industrial
peoples. It Is essential, therefore, more
than ever, to adhere strictly to the tra
ditional policy of the country ns formu
lated by Its first president and never, ln
my Judgment, wisely departed from to In
vite friendly relations with all nations
while avoiding entanglirg alliance with any
Such a policy means th" cultivation of
pence Instead of the glorification of war,
and the nlndlng of our own business in
lieu of spectacular Intemeddllng wlthsythe
affairs of other nations. It means strict
observance of the prlnclnl"s of International
law and condemns the doctrine thnt a great
state, by reason of its strength, may right
fully appropriate the sovereignty or terri
tory of a small state on account of Its
weakness. It menns for other American
states that we claim no rights and will
assume no functions save those of a fr'end
nnd of nn nllv r-d defender .as ea!nsr
Kuropean aggressions. It means that we
repudiate the role of the Amer'can conti
nental polleeman: that we refuse to act
as debt collector for foreign states or their
citizens; thnt we respect the Independent
sovereignty of each American state nnd Its
rlchl to preserve order and otherwise reg
ulate Its own Internal nffa'rs In Its own
way; nnd that anv intervention In its af
fairs bv us Is limited to the single office
of enabling Its people to work out their own
political nnd national destiny for them
selves free from the coercion of any Euro
pean state.
Reform In Government Expenditures.
Tvsnty-elght years have passed since the
democratic party of the state of New York,
in convention assembled, recommended to
the national democracy the nomination of
Samuel J. Tilden as its candidate for the
presidency, and declared It to be "their
settled conviction that a return to the con
stitutional principles, frugal expenses anl
administrative purity of the founders of
the republic is the llrnt and most imper
ious duty of the limes the commanding
iweue no b?fore the people of the union."
Thla strong expression was called forth by
the national expenditures for the year 1S76,
which amounted to J74,0ufi.GX a situation
which, in the opinion of a majority of our
people, Justified an Imperative demand for
reform ln the administration of public af
fairs. As the expenditures of the last fis
cal year amounted to the enormous total
of toW.Ont.tof). it is evident that a thor
ough investigation of the public service
and the Immediate abandonment of useless
and extravagant expenditures are more
necessary now than they were then. This
astounding increase is out of all propor
tion to the increase of our population, and
finds no excuse from wnatever aspect we
view the situation. The national demo
cratic platform 'eclares that "iarge reduc
tions Ccin easily "e nmde ln the annual ex
penditures of the government without im
pairing the efficiency of any branch of the
public service." Can, there be any doubt
of the accuracy of this statement? llt
tween the expenditures of the jear'INu".
amounting to $-4-,t.j,o0), and those of the
last fiscal year the seventh after Grover
Cleveland ceased to be president aggre
gating .""?-, lou.oio, there is a difference so
treat as to excite alarm In the breasts of
all thoughtful men. Kven excluding tha
sum uf lioi,iO paid for the Panama ca
nal rights and to the elate of Panama, the
expenditures of the last fiscal year ex
ceeded the sum of $5iU,(io0.ixA being mora
than double the expenditures of the gov
ernment for all purposes during the lirst
year of Mr. Cleveland's administration.
The expenses of the first four years suc
ceeding the last democratic adm inixtratlon
amounted to the enrmous average of tOll.
0u0,uot per year. This large expenditure was
due to a considerable extent to the cost of
trie Spanish-American war, which occurred
duilng that period; but the termination of
the war brought no relief to the treasury,
for the average annual expenses of the gov
ernment, during the three subsequent years
ending June SO, 1W4, were Mbout tolD.Ow.ouo.
which is the largest sum hitherto reached,
during a like period, tince the close of the
civil war.
This draft upon the revenues of the coun
try has had the effect which might have
been anticipated, and now we have pre
sented the re.nse of the situation, which I
led to the famous observation. "It is a con
dition, and nut a theory, which confronts
us;" for, although the present Incuittbent
lounn ut the close or tne tirst nwai year,
during which he assumed control of the
administration, a surplus of receipts over
expenditures of more than q,' O.OeO, there
was an excess of expenditures over re
ceipts at the close of the last fiscal year
of Sfl.i'.(i. and the official monthly re
ports made by the treasury department
show thai the expenditure are continu
ously and rapidly increasing, while the
receipts are eiimlnlshlng.

JUNIORS OUTWIT THE SENIORS
Arrange Things with OIHelais and
Have Their Parade M'lthornt
Interference.
With Joy in their hearts because they
had thwarted the alms of the seniors, the
Juniors of the high school Saturday night
marched around the streets with a horse,
a banner and an unbecoming uniform, the
whole forming what Is termed a "shirt tali
parade." It Beems that the youngsters
have long had the idea ln mlud. and yes
terday obtained permUrfjon from the mayor
to parade the streets. This concession
made the seniors indignant and Captain
Mostyn received many telephone calls dur
ing the evening, all about In this strain:
"Say, the high school juniors are going
to parade the streets tonight- Would it be
Illegal if the seniors attempted to break
it up? And would the police take any ac
tion in the matter if there was a row?"
"Bet your bottom dollar they will," eald
the captain.
"Say," would continue the voice, "can't
the police break up the parade?"
"Not unless the Juniors become dis
orderly." said Captain Mostyn.
The streets through which the parade
marched were patrolled by the police nnd
as far as the officials at the police station I
know everything went off smoothly. Olh- I
era. however, say that the seniors met the :
Juniors in the carnival grounels while the
latter 'were holding a pow-wow and brokj
up the meeting with a well directed volley
of rotten eggs.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Packers Prepare for Large Shipments of
Sheep from Coast.
ABLE TO HANDLE ALL THAT COME
Twenty-Five to Thirty Tboaannd Head
ol Lambs 'Will Come to Local
Market from .'North
west. General Manager Kenyon of the Union
Stock Yards company received Informa
tion from Major W'olcott. one of the trav
eling representatives of the company In
the northwest, yesterday to l.ie effect that
heavy shipments t sheep and lambs wera
about to begin. At two or three points
In Oregon between 20,0ti0 and &.MW lambs
are being loaded for shipments to this
market.
In speaking of this particular shipment
James L. Pnxton. general superintendent
of the stock yards, said the lambs would
not all arrive at this market at the
samo time.
"It Is the custom, said Mr. Paxton, "for
shippers of lambs to stop off at feeding
points along the route and allow the stock
to feed and water and rest. By holding
back portions of the shipments the market I
is not congested and shippers find It to j
their advantage to make stopovers on long
trips. The receplt of K.OuO or even 30.')
sheep or lambs r the stock yards here
would be nothing out of the ordinary, as
we have ample barns to take care of all
that might arrive in any one day."
Mr. Paxton said the heavy shipment!
of sheep from Oregon. Washington, Idaho,
Utah and Wyoming w uld not begin for a
couple of weeks. Fru.n October 1 until
the end of the year sheep receipts are
general'' heavy at this market. In send
ing large consignments the shippers
have found it to their advantage to
make stops and long trips are
seldom made, especially with sheep. Live
stock dealers at the yards say that South
Omaha Is now the largest sheep market
in the country, barring Chicago. Packers
here are making preparations for a big
business ln lambs and mutton this fall
and there will be no difficulty about sheep
butchers finding plenty of work from this
time on. 1
It was announced at the Live Btock ex
change Saturday afternoon that the rail
road tracks from L Ftrfct to U street
wouH be fenced within thirty dnys. When
the railroad companies were granted some
concessions by the city council the agree
ment was that a viaduct across tho tracks
at O street was lo be construcled and
that two approaches were to be built to
the Q street viaduct. The O atreet bridge
Is completed and one of the approiches to
the Q street viaduct is In use. The south '

the last batch of special policemen. The
dummy train which haa been running as a
packers' special between Omaha and South
Omaha for two months, was taken off last
night and with the discontinuance of the
train and the discharge of the special po
lice the last signs of the recent packing
house strike were removed. Fbrmer em
ployes of the packing houses are being
given en loyment every day and all of the
plants now report that the houses are be
ing operated under normal conditions. All
that Is wante nere now is more live stock.
As the rect grow heavier more men
are put back to work. From this time on
the packers look for big receipts at lenst
three days of the week, nnd moderate re
ceipts the balance of the week.

fiscal year.

blocks and the curbing set far enough
ahead to give the pavers plenty of room
to work. Oalesburg paving brick has been
hauled from the cant and Is now piled
along the street, so that there will be no
lack of material when the concretera and
pavers once get to work. It Is the Inten
tion of the contractors to push this work
along as rapidly as possible In order to
complete it before cold weather cornea.
There Is a great deal of travel on Thirtieth
street and the paving of this road will be
of great benefit to property owners and
those doing heavy hauling. Money to pay
for the work Is n hand and on this ac.
count the contractors will hasten opera
tions. The cost of paving this street, which
has been narrowed, will be about 121,000.
Monday the paving of the alley from N
to O, between Twenty-third and Twenty
fourth stret , will be completed. Thla
paving and curbing will cost li.tOO.
Favors Settling Claim.
City Attorney Lambert has filed with tha
clerk and council a report In the John Dela
Vega case. This claim was filed some time
ago and the allegation la made that owing
to the construction of the O street viaduct
the brick building on Ranroad avenue haa
been rendered tenantleas. The city attorney
declares that Pela Vaga Is willing to com
promise matters and will withdraw his
claim for damages If the council will give
him permission to construct another atory
on his building and secure an entrance from
the O street viaduct. While the matter Is
still under Consideration" by the council. It
Is thought that this matter can be arranged
with the Union Pacific and the Union Stock
Yards company, the builders of the via
duct, and that when this Is done the case
will be dropped.

Friday night's heavy rain did not do
much damage to the unpaved streets. John
C. Troutan, atreet commissioner, said yes
terday he had been all over the city end
that the city would be put to the expense
of $100 in repairing the damage done. The
laying of concrete on South Twenty-fourth
street was delayed until noon yesterday,
but raving on Railroad avenue began about
the middle of the forenoon. Moat of the
city's streets are tn euch shape now that
heavy rains will not do a great deal of
