HEADQuARTERs OF REPUBLICAN
STATE COMMITTEE, LINCOLN, oct. -,

that Saturday, October 81 1896, should be

favor the election OF william Mckinley a9

group of planks, showing that the old doc
trine of states rights was concealed in a
velvety coat, designed to fool the public.
The second group. he asserted, was placed In
the platform by the descendants OF the very
men who had proited the most by the rul-
ings of the supreme court. The financial
planks were also discussed. The speaker
asserted that II was absurd to suppose that
congress could enact laws impairing the OBJ
legations OF contracts, when the constitution
expressly prohibits any such legislation by
any of the states. lie declared that the
constitutional provision giving congress the
power TO regulate the value OF money simply
meant that congress should ascertain the
commercial value of the money metal and
regulate the coinage accordingly.
Mr. Thomas Fitzpatrick was the next
speaker. He addressed himself to the finan-
clal question. After a brief historical re
view the speaker treated the question from
a standpoint OF sound political economy.
arguing that the law of supply and demand
regulated the price of silver as well as OF
other commercial commodities. The recent
increase in the price of wheat was referred
to as proof of this statement, 1t was
laid down as a principle that government
can neither increase nor decrease the value
Of a metal by coming II.
Taking up the quantltive theory OF the
silverites, who assert that an increase of
money would increase prices, the speaker
argued that the theory was fallacous, and
he called attention to the TACT that the
amount of silver. gold and paper in this
country had been enormously increased dur
ing recent years but asserted that the fact
that prices are lower now than they have
ever been before was proof that the theory
was not well founded
The theory OF the silverites that the
farmer will get increased prices for his
wheat was exploded by the statement that
the price of wheat would be regulated by
the market price of the world and dependent
upon the supply and demand In closing
Mr. Fitzpatrick advised his hearers to vote
for Mckinley and predicted his election.
Henry w. Yates was introduced by the
chairman and announced that, owing to the
lateness of the hour the committee had
consented that his speech be postponed
until some future time. He said, however
that in the present campaign attacks had
been made on the bankers as a class and
he thought it was incumbent upon mem
bers of that class that they should raise
their voices in self-protection. Speaking of
politics, the speaker said 1t was well known
that the vote of Nebraska will not be needed
to elect Mckinley, but he said the eyes Of
the whole country were on Nebraska and
the state should be carried for Mckinley by
a decisive majority and thereby put an end
to the unrest which would follow a close
election.

A POSSIBLE RATE REDUCTION.
What r. l.. Fla n ntgam says Regard
Ing Live Stock Freight Rates.

What F. L. Flannigan says Regard
Ing Live Stock Freight Rates.
In all probability the Southern Pa
cifc Company will give the following
extremely low rates on sheep from
California points: $212.6O per car
on sheep in double deck cars of stan
dard length to Omaha and Kansas
City; 1890 to st. Louis; $240 to Chi
cago, subject to the sheep being ship
ped under usual live stock contract,
limiting carriers liability.
P. L. Flanagan of Reno says that
with rate of $3.50 from Reno to
eastern points it would turn all ship
ments this way that now are shipped
from Huntington and Soda Springs,
Idaho,S via the Oregon Short Line.
Mr. Flanagan says it is no further
from Likely or Paisley, Oregon, to
Huntington. or Soda Springs, Idaho,
than It is to Reno, and as the cost of
transportation is cheaper from these
points than from Reno, and hay and
pastureis ons-haif cheaper in Colo
RADIO than in Nevada, the bulk of
sheep and cattle will be shipped over
the Oregon Short Line to Colorado
and there fed for the eastern market
With $3.50 rate the people of the
northern country would drive to Reno
and ship over the Southern Pacific
system. 1t is within the power of
the Southern Pacific company to turn
all the stock traffic from the north
this way if they desire the business,
and at the same time make Reno
live stock center for this whole coun-
try, but unless they give stockmen a
rate that will justify them in c~ming
this way, the Southern Pacific Com
pany will lose the hauling and this
section will lose the business.

T. HI. Michel, a miner Of long sx-

Mexico) which employs 1000 miners,
all Mexicans. There is no American

The ordinary wo'k of mining at tho
ore breast or in tho shafts and tun-
nels is paid at the rate of 81 to 81. 25
in silver, while the laborer on top gets
70 cents in silver. The timber mon
get from sc to So in silver and the
other American workmen from $3 to

the mines are large and rich. There

OF London bankers are spoken of as
''ths East. 1t is impossible to draw
the exact line, for many persons who

residents of the West in tho CONNER
cial csntsrs prefer English rule and
are Eastern In their allegiance to the

that "the East" il composed Of New

fer West - the blanket sheets pub
lished in New York city reach by IL
N. on the day Of publication. Beyond
that line they are unable to absolutely
exclude ell information on the money

nous and dense volume of their false
