A New Party.

Our old friend, Seeberger, is or
gnnizing new party, whose plat
form promises much more benefit to
the farmers than Bryan's scheme to
double the value Of the silver barons,
product and make the people pay the
expense. The following article from
the North Platte CNeb.) Telegraph
VIII show what the platform proposes:
"E f. Seeberger is a man OF orig
inal ideas aud in his work as civil
engineer and superintendent of irri-
CATION canals has made careful
study Of the rainfall and he says that
the statistics show that the average
yearly rainfall Of this state for sever
al years has been IS inches, and as
30 inches are necessary for sure
crop we have met with failure and
loss. The agitation OF the free silver
craze has given him an idea. He now
proposes to become public beneiac-
tor, and will take steps 10 organize
new party, the object Of which shall
be to legislatc in the matter of rails
ing crops. The main platform of the
party viii be to advocate the passage
of law that will change the stand
ard Of rain measurement so that what
is now a half inch will hereafter be
an inch. in other words without any
more moisture the Is inches Of rain
fall will be rated as 3B inches, six
inches molr than IS needed to insure
a big crop. Mr.. Seeberger is CON
fident that when such party is
founded and succeeds in the cleo
ton Of congress that will pass the
necessary law that this country will
prosper as never before"
This proposition comes much near
er to meeting the difficulties of the
Arkansas valley farmers than free
coinage of silver would.

Campaign of Education.
GRANADA, July Goth.

Ed. REdIsTER:-
want to say a few words to the
republicans OF Prowers county. The
coming campaign will be one of edu-
cation, and l hope what we all want
is to be able to vote inte!ligently, for
it viii do no party any good TO mis-
reprepresent their cause, as it Will re-
net against them with telling force
when the truth is known.
The free siyer people are telling
around here that if Mckinley is elect
ed silver will cease to circulate as
money and harder times will ensue.
Now it is high time for such igno-
rance to be relegated to the rear and
solid facts come TO the front. The
republican platform and candidate,
Hon. Wm. Mckinley, advocate moth
ing on the money question but what
the party has advocated since 1873.
Since then the country has been on a
gold standard basis, and all silver and
paper money have been and are to-
day revolving around gold, the unit
of measure one dollar as good as any
other dollar. No other nation has as
good financial credit as the United
States and none better system of
finance. We want every patriotic man
and woman to learn thoroughly the
facts regarding our monetary system.
You will then conclude that when
Mckinley and republican congress
are elected this good result will fol-
low: A protective tariff will be en-
acted that viii cause every American
industry to take on new life, add new
men to their force and enlarge their
Investments all over the land, thus
increasing the number of consumers.
In less time than it takes the old
mossback party to wake mp from their
defeat they will find prosperity reign
ing all around them-no tramps and
no idleness.
From 1878 to 1893 under repub-
lican laws 422 millions of silver dol
lars have been coined and 37S nil
lions of that are still in the treasury
vaults, while 80 million only are in
circulation. What is the use of coin
ing any more if we can't get into cir
culation those already issued.
Prior to 1893 the cry was ''what
are we going tc do with the surplus
which the Mckinley bill has created ~
Harrison paid off 259 millions of the
national debt besides running the
government. But where, oh where,
is the surplus now? Instead Of that
we have deficit, and the democrats
are still kicking and don't know what
TO do with it. They have borrowed
262 millions OF dollars, thereby run
ming the government farther behind
than Harrison put it ahead, and in
spite of this record some democrats
say the republicans have done moth
ing for the country.
What we need is more capital and
labor invested; manufacture all Amer
lean products on American soil, and
let the work be done by true hearted
American citizens.
