Sugar has been very cheap for several

OF course the competition amongst the
producers in this country, and the fact
that our reinets have some advantage
under the tariff in importing low grades
on which the revenue d lighter, has pre-
vented an extortion Of the full tariff
charges upon the consumers. The crop
all over the world two or three years ago
was in excess Of the consumption, but
the present season q great falling

All There.

Senator Morton in his great speech
at indianapolis, referring to the polit'
ical elements which constituted the
Convention that nominated Tilden
and Hendricks, said:
There was the old STAKEHOLDER, with
heart full of bitter memories, be-
lieving that emancipation was rob.
berry, and his only hope of indemnity
in the Democratic party.
There was the old agitator and Sc
cessionist, who had hurried States in
to rebellion and drafted ordinances OF
secession.
There were the officers and soldiers
who had borne the Confederate flag
upon many a bloody field, and who
proudly pointed to their rebel record
as their title deed of Office and glory.
There were the members Of the reb-
ell Congress at Richmond, who had
debated with closed doors the question
of the black flag.
There were the architects and de-
tenders of Belle Isle, Libby, Ander-
sonville and Salisbury, scenes of hor-
Tor of which the Modocs in their lava
fortress had never dreamed.
There were the Northern sympa-
thizers and doughfaces, who had wait
ed and watched over the border,
whose hearts and hopes were in the
South while their bodies were in the
North.
There were q few Union soldiers
who had carried their scanty laurels
to q Confederate market, where decOy
signals were scarce and in large de-
maud.
There was the sore-headed Repub-
lican, whose neglected claims for of
flee had broken his faith in civiliza-
ton and convinced him of the neces-
sity of reform.
In short, there were assembled the
mourners for slavery, the organizers
of rebellion, the KukluX and White
Liner, the Northern sympathizer and
doug the advocate of Southern
sovereignty, and the representative OF
every element that had torn the coun-
try with civil war. drenched 1t with
blood, and watered it with the tears
of the widows and orphans.
No Democrat who cares a snap for
the truth will deny that the Senator'S
picture Is a true one. That Conven-
ton was composed of the most cor
rupt, disloyal and dangerous lot OF
men ever assembled for like purpose
worse than the Charleston or Chi
cago Convention. Will any citizen
Gnderstandingfy, who loves country
more than party, vote for the nomi-
nees of such a convention? No, not
one.
Nebraska advertiser., 1876-09-07
Hendricks q DemagOgue-PrOOf.

His whole career is full of demagog-
ism and dishonesty, but we will refer
to but one instance as a sample:
In public speech made at LapOrt,
Ind, July 20, 1872, Mr.. Hendricks de-
nOunced President Grant for having
approved the Northern Pacific Rail-
road bill granting $1,000, 900 acres of
land to that company. He was fear
fully indignant over such awful pro-
fligacy. When Senator Morton came
to reply to the speech, he pointed out
the fact that the bill granting the Ian q
in question was passed in 1864, during
the first term of Mr.. LincOln's Admi-
nistration, and was supported and
voted for by Thomas A. Hendricks as
Senator, who made the following
remarks while the bill was pending.
Mr.. Hendricks said:
1.-THE bill before the Senate proposes
to encourage the construction of a
very important railroad, to connect
the water of Lake Superior with the
water of the Pacific Ocean. Every
body can see at glance that it is
work of national Importance. 1t pro-
poses to grant lands in a northern lat
itude, where, without the construction
of work like that, the lands are COM
paratively without value to the Gov
ernment. Noperson acquainted with
the condition of that section of the
country suppOses that there can be
very extensive settlement until the
Government shall encourage those
settlements by the construction of
some work like this. / do not think
that work of such national impor-
tance ought to be embarrassed in its
passage through this body, and thro'
the House of Representatives" &C.
