OMAHA RECEIPTS ARE STRONG
He Have Bern Cioln Oat of

Rate ltariBM the Last
Month.
Like a magnet, the high prices for wheat
and corn continue to draw grain out .of
the country out of territory where short
crops were reported and where more or
less accuntc reports have said from time
to time that there Is no grain remaining
In the hands of growers.
The receipts of corn and wheat at the
Omaha market during August are only a
little short of the receipts for the same
monlh lngt yeftr- Thl, tota! receipts as
shown In the report of thsf Grain exchange
Issued Tuesday, are 4,517.5(0 bushels, as
compared with 5,f55,2U0 bushels for the
same month last year. This is a decrease
of but &37."oO bushels.
The country has given up oats at a sur-
i prising rate during the month, l'.O&.gOO
bushels being sent to the Omaha market.
which brought prices ranging from 43 to
47 cents per hushel. Last year the re
ceipts for August were 979,200, the gain In
receipts during the month Just passed being
104,0n0 bushels.
Receipts of wheat and corn both fell off,
but It Is regarded as mhaculous by grain
dealers that the country should send grain
to market almost equal to the amount sent
last year during the same month, when It
hss been commonly supposed that almost
all the grain was out of the country.
Prospect of New Crops.
"But the prospect of the new crop In
fluenced the farmers to sell all old grain
and theree are many car loads of new
grain in the August report," said a grain
dealer. "It takes, good prices to draw out
the grain.
The report shows that more than 2.ono,0fl0
bushels of the grain shipped to Omaha
during the month remains In the elevators.
This Is an unusually large amount of grain
to be left In storage In the elevators dur

Mandereon on Tariff.
OMAHA. Aug. Jl.-To the Editor of The
Bee: The self-imposed candidate of the
fmocratlc party for the presidency seem
ctermlned to make the tariff question
one of the paramount Issues In the coming
polllkal contest. This Is well, for It Is
an Invitation to his defeat, for the Amer
ican people realise that we have nevsr
eparted fum the doctrine of protection
o Amerlcnn Industries that natlr.nal Ole
aster has not come to us. The Issue turns
up with pertinacious periodicity and p;rnl-
clous pertinacity and brings to the per
sistent perpetrators defeat. Looking over
some papers today, I found a letter writ
ten by me In January, 1907, when the tariff
question was forging to the front. The
suggestions In my letter are apt at this
time and If ou wish to publish the letter
ou are welcome to It.
CHARLES F. M ANDERSON.
"OMAHA. Dec. 30. 19CK. Mr. Pierre DePew
Nyack, N. Y. Dear Sir: I have yours cf
the 26th Inst, asking whether I am a tariff
revisionist. That depends upon what you
mean by the term. If you mean by It the
abandonment of the principle of protection
to American Industries of production and
manufacture, I am inn. If you mean a
revision of tariff duties to meet changed
conditions, 1 am.
I believe this country has grown great
by taking care of Its own by the protec
tlvo system, which, while It has some ele
ments of selfishness. Is Justifiable, be
cause care for our own nation is our first
duty. The abandonment of protecting our
selves commercially, would be equivalent
to a policy that would destroy our navy
and disband our army when war threat'
ened. At this time, when labor Is de
mandlng greater consideration than ever
before in our history, for us to open Our
doors of Import by anything that ap
proaches free trade, would soon bring a
condition ot distress that might lead to
revolution and anarchy. It would close the
doors ef many of our manufactories, wipe
out much of our trade and Injure not only
the' capitalist, artisan and laborer, but
would bring down all values. Including
producing farms, and the man to feel the
change finally with the greatest severity
would be the agriculturist. Tariff sched
ules, however, do not remain perfect or
desirable, and In the Interest of the best
and wisest proteotlon of all our Industries,
they should be periodically revised. Not
often, or hastily, but with care and after
full investigation and patient hearing of
all Interests. We have no board or tribunal
to make this exploration and I doubt
whether It would be well to form one. We
have made substantial. Indeed phenomenal
progress In agricultural, commercial and
manufacturing wealth, by permitting the
congress to revise the tariff and havo met
distress and disaster only when a party
was In controlling power that would, while
crying for a tariff for revenue only, lose
sight of the protective principle, which
means protection of capitalist and artisan,
farmer and laborer. The founders of our
republic aet the example for they were
protectionists and loss and trouble has ever
come to us when we have forgotten the
lessons they taught and under a cry for
cheaper goods, by lower tariffs, have un
der the presext of revision, destroyed.
The killing of the goose that lays the
golden eggs Is an easy task, but It Is the
end of the egg laying.
"In short, I am a protective revisionist
and not a protection obstructionist and
the older I grow, and the more I study the
questions ot governmental policy, the more
firmly I am rooted and the more definitely
am I fixed, In my belief In the beneficial
results of a protective tariff. Disaster will
come to this country ot ours when our
capacity to manufacture In all possible
lines shall be destroyed, because of our de
sire to get goods more cheaply. The neces
sity for a tariff for protection as well as
revenue will be more pronounced as the
days roll by; for shortly we will have to
guard ourselves, not only from the en
croachments of low paid labor of Europe,
but the pauperized labor of Asia. Japan Is
becoming a more active competitor day by
day and Is adopting many of our methods
and machinery. She has started to take
China under her tutelage- and when the
millions of that empire have learned the
lesson that Japan can teach them and with
labor that "works for nothing and finds
Itself has embarked In Industries that we
now control, a day will come to us that
will be a most trying one. We should pre
pare for that day by clinging close to pro
tectton and no demand for revision of the
tariff should permit us to depart from a
policy that has permitted a development
and expansion that has been the astound
ing wonder of the last century. Let us
hold fast to that which Is good and not
confound revision with destruction. Yours
truly, CHARLES F. M ANDERSON."
tan a Pot Cnll Kettle Black f
OMAHA. Sept. l.-To the Editor Of The
Bee: On the money question Mr. Bryan
tins never been either sound or Intelligent
In 1898 he robbed Mr. Kland of Missouri
of the free coinage of silver Issue, which
meant, as all men of sense now agree, pay
ment of all public and private debts with
50-cent dollars. He is now trying his hand
at a wild scheme for federal Insurance of
bank deposits, of which he knows little or
nothing. But Mr. Bryan, however, can
make money for himself by selling Chau
tauqua speeches. The New York Sun re
peats the charge that he made two In a
town on Jesus Christ on a certain Sunday,
for which he was paid $1.C0 In cash! Mr.
Bryan talked himself tired about "pluto
crats" for ten yeara In his war on rich
men. He denounced them as bad citizens,
and once said that no man could honestly
earn more than $5,000 a year. Since all this
world now knows that ho has an Income
of $100.U0 a year for his lectures snd
speeches and the little cottonwood paper,
the Commoner, which Is hla patent medi
cine advertising organ, the word plutocrat
never escapes hla lips. Mr. Bryan Is one
of the richest men of our country. His In
come Is more than $7,000 per month, which
Is equivalent to more than $200 per day,

Changes Following Put
Ion's Resignation.
When the annual reports of all the rail
roads of the United Ststes hsve been made
It Will be found that the Union Pacific will
make the best showing of any In the maw
ter of the ratio of transportation costs to
gross revenue and operating expenses to
gross revenue. The Vnlon Pacific trans
portation costs were but 28 per cent of the
gross earnings and tho operating expenses
were 53.9 per cent of the gross receipts.
Other large western lines will be far
above that ratio. The Great Northern, the
Atchison and the Northern Pacific will ex
pend 14 per cent more In moving traffic.
In the case of the Milwaukee the ratio Is
10 per cent higher and the Frisco nearly 15
per centv higher. These figures are based
on the report to the Interstate Commerce
commission.
In the matter of maintenance the Union
Pacific spent but $294,947 less than the year
before, when expenses were exceptionally
heavy. Maintenance of ways last year was
$766,000 less than In '1907. and maintenance
of equipment was $410,0oo greater, so the
total maintenance was $J94.000 less. The
liberality of maintenance accounts In a
large measure for the low per cent of op
erating cost.
Changes at Union Pacific.
Several changes are Contemplated at the
Union Pacific aa a result of the resignation
of Alfred Darlow, advertising manager,
who has gone Into private business. Mr.
Darlow's desk probably will be taken by
Robert A. Smith, former chief clerk In the
passenger department and one time cashier.
Warrfn K. Cundlff, former traveling pas
senger agent, will be made chief rate clerk
and Claud Stockham will be made traveling
passenger agent. Qulncy F. Campbell,
chief rare clerk, will be made chief clerk.
Mr. Darlow's resignation became effective
Tuesday.
A. K. Curt?., traveling passenger agent
of the Union Pacific, has returned from

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Coancll and Electric Light Company
Get Together on a Con
tract. , .
F. A. Nash and S. IS. Schweitzer of the
Omaha Electric L'ght and Power company
were in South Omaha yesterday afternoon
In conference with the city council on the
matter of extending, the contract-of the
city for five years.
The proposition, briefly stated. Is that
the company will place 8outh Omaha on
the same basis as. Omaha for the public
light, or $75 per arc lamp, beginning Au
gust 1, 1008. and continuing through the
term of the extended contract A clause
le Inserted In the contract to the effect that
If any other company comes within reach
of the city with electric light supply, the
prices of the new company will be dupli
cated. Mr. Nash took considerable time to dis
cuss the proposed water power scheme. He
said he had spent much money In that
company himself without result. He said
that with the demand Jn Right for auch
power, taking all the territory covered at
present rates, the Income would not yield
Interest on a $5,000.CO0 Investment. There
fore, he said, no company would care to
spend that much money to bring a power
plant Int.i the city In competition.
He argued that the company paid the city
6 per cent of Its gross Income In taxes
and royalties, which cost the city no ex
penditure. This he thought a good Invest
ment for the city.
He further argued that In case any other
scheme were tried It would be several
years before the power could be utilized
on account of the requirements of construc
tion. The new contract Introduced at the meet
ing of the council in the evening sets forth
the features of the agreement. The city
under the proposed reduction In the price
of public lights will save $3,500 annually.
This will be used In the establishment of
twenty new lights, tf the proposition goes
Into effect. There Is little likelihood of Its
falling.
The Union Pacific Issued lta ultimatum
yesterday afternoon to the city with regard
to the condemnation ot a grade crossing at
Twenty-fifth street a1 L. The proposed
condemnation contemplates making use of
a part of Railroad avenue, which was form
erly vacated, with a perpetual clause, to
the railroad. The council was waited on
by Fdson Rich and members of the engi
neering staff, and they raised tha objec
tion to the portion of the condemnatlton
upon Railroad avenue, but consented freely
to tho part of the proposed street south of
V street. The part on Railroad avenue
makes the connection with the aouthern
termination of Twenty-fifth street, bing
north of the railroad. The company wants
this strip, containing about half an acre,
for shifting Its main line farther east to
accommodate the Northwestern and the
Milwaukee railroads In their proposed new
tracks through South Omaha. The property
owners on the south side were Just as In
sistent In their demand for the strip In
controversy. They objected to the use of
Twenty-fourth street on the ground that
It waa not the most direct route to the
business section of South Omaha. The ob
ject of the action Is to force the Rock
Island railroad to build a viaduct, which
the road haa not appeared willing to do.
The I'nlon radllc haa recently aseured
the city that It Is willing to construct lia
part of the viaduct. The ordinance con
demning the street was Introduced two
weeks ago. In spile of the protest of the
railroad company the ordinance condemn
ing the property was finally passed at the
council meeting In the evening. This will,
according to the statement of the I'nlon
Pacific representative, force a Isw suit In
the federal court.
Except for the action taken on the
public lighting contract, and the passage
of the ordinance condemning street across
the Rock Island and the Union Pacific
right-of-way at Tweny-flfih and V streets,
tbe session of the city council last night
was confined chiefly to routine. The coo-
tracts for tho polling plures were arranged
and the members of the hoards of regis
tration were appointed.
Bids were received from fo ir or five
firms on a Mrdge at Twenty-fifth and Poik
streets. The matter was referred M the
proper committee. Appralxers wer.1 ap
pointed for the settlement of damages for
the grading of A street from Twenly-thlid
to Twenty-fourth.
The South Omaha board of education
met last night at the High school build
ing. The business consisted of a few de
tails Incident to the opening of the public
schoola next week. II. M. Clauson was
employed to give Instruction to grade
teachers In penmanship, at a salary of $.!
per month. The city treasurer's report
to the board showed that $55,347.SO remained
In the school fund, August 1. Claims to
the amount of $1,567.04 were allowed. Tho
expenditures for the year have amounted
to far to $.12,2.-4.45. The rfSlgnation of Miss
Bessie Dare was accepted. Jessie M. Con
don, Zlta Kavanauah, Margaret McKcach
ron, Llztie Kennelly, Minnie Moreland
were placed on the unaslgncd list of
teachers. The board accepted plans for a
foot bridge at Sixteenth and I streets
to accommodate the Garfield s hool.
