The election of McKlnley In Novem
ber will cause such a revival In manu
facturing as this country has never
seen and that revival will open up
great avenues of employment, and
there will be a prosperity and a con
sumption that will send prices of farm
products up with a bound. In 1892,
four years ago this month, before
Cleveland was elected, corn sold for
51 cents and oats for 37 cents. Then
republican policy was keeping the fac
tories of the country running full time,
and many of them night and day.
The price of farm products fell with
the decline in manufacturln, and when
republican policy again opens up the
factories our corn and oats will be
worth more than twice as much as
they are today. The crops that Ne
braska produces must ever be low in
price and a drug on the market when
Industry is paralyzed. It Is not over
production that is hurting us. It is
the. fact that the nation is idle and
non-consuming. It is sometimes said
that Nebraska and the west, where
manufacturing is light, do not benefit
by protection. If there is any section
of the country that benefits by the,
operation of a protective tariff It is
the great crop-raising west. Our
product is doubly valuable when the
whole country Is prosperous, and pro
tection, as nearly everybody. Including
our own Mr. Bryan, is ready to ad
mit now, means prosperity. If the
people of Nebraska want 50-cent corn
and 40-cent oats let them vote in Mc
Klnley and protection. They would
not have long to wait. Prices would
take a big jump before the holidays.
Col. L. C. Pace has joined Erastus
E. Brown and Cunningham R. Scott
in flamboyant repudiation of the re
publican party and reiteration of the
advocacy of the free coinage of silver.
The example set oy the lachyrmose
Teller is an invitation to the Browns
and Scotts and Paces that will be ac
cepted with sensational asseveration
during the pending campaign. Patri
ots of a certain sort take on enthusi
asm when they have an opportunity
to proclaim their patriotism with tears
and protestation. Teller's tears will
be responsible for a vast amount of
spectacular demonstration. These ef
fusive leave takings are all the more
amusing when one knows, as the peo
ple In this city know, that the gentle
men who talk so glibly of their regret
at leaving the republican party have
not been republicans for years. Mr.
Brown and Colonel Pace are estimable
citizens and we are willing to ascribe
to them e,very virtue, except that of
advocacy of republican principles.
When Mr. Rosewater was making
frantic efforts to hand this state over
Co the populists his most anxious as
sistant was Mr. Brown. Colonel Pace
has been a greenbacker and a cheap
money advocate so long that the
memory of man runneth not to the
contrary. Because he professed repub
lican ideas in Intervals of fiat money
calm as the most direct road to office,
is no proof that he was, at any time.
a republican. Their announcement, ac
companied as it is by much verbal
pyrotechnics, does not call for serious
consideration.
It is not disputed that a number of
republicans In this state will, on ac
count of their views on the money
question, vote for the. free silver candi-

The exact technical and artistic
status of our energetic friend, John
Curry, may not be thoroughly estab
lished, but one thing 1s clear, he is a
hustler. Torriglano and Benedetto de
Malano and Roublllac and Chantrey
and Sir Frederick Lelghion and the rest
of the tribe may have achieved consid
erable local notoriety a& sculptors, but
they were not hustlers like Curry, and
lacking that quality they lacked an Im
portant quality. Curry has a new idea
of art. His idea is that it is composed
of one part plaster of Paris, one part
nerve, and one part advertising, and
by persistently following out this idea
he has won for himself a considerable
distinction. He has demonstrated that
the artist who gets Into the papers and
who works a state for a block of
marble is the artist who hustles. There
Is no telling what the outcome of this
Curry business may be. Tennessee and
Nebraska may come to blows. But
pretty soon the whole country will be
saluting John Curry. Why not take
that block of marble and stand It up
on end in government square as a
monument, not to Lincoln, but to
Curry?
The reports of the various commit
tees of the board of education, sub
mitted at Monday night's meeting, es
tablish the. fact that the business
of the board Is being conducted most
economically and efficiently. It has not
been an easy task to keep up the school
work of the, district the last three
years lu the face of decreased re
venues, and those persons who are
disposed to criticise the board should
weigh carefully the difficulties that
have had to be met and overcome.
Iowa was the first state to pledge
its assistance to the Trans-Mississippi
exposition project. Louisiana now
takes official action looking to represen
tation in Omaha in 1S98, and there is
every reason to believe that the re
maining states to which the promoters
of -the exposition look for support will
be prompt to interest themselves in
the great enterprise. The people of
Omaha have never taken hold of any
undertaking with the spirit and en
thusiasm and determination with
which they have taken hold of the Idea
of the Trans-Mississippi exposition,
and the activity and Interest shown by
the people of the metropolis Insure,
we believe, the success of the scheme.
The people of the state should not be
backward In proffering substantial as
sistance, for the exposition will bene
fit every part of Nebraska; and
Omaha should be careful to make the
people of the state understand that
they have an Interest In the undertak
ing, that it is something more than
an Omaha movement. The exposition
effort should be regarded in the broad
est manner possible, and it is import
ant that, first, the people of Omaha,
second, the. people of Nebraska, and
third, the people of the Trans
MissiKsippl country should work to
gether in perfect harmony. It will
benefit all. It should be understood
that congress having authorized a gov
ernment exhibit and an appropriation
of $200,000, it devolves upon Omaha,
first, to raise a sufficient sum of money
to constitute an earnest of the serious
intentions of the primary moves In the
matter, and to effect a preliminary or
ganization. Then it will be time to
Invoke the co-operation of the people
