CAN PRESENT
LOW PRICES CONTINUE?
The question is vital to all
except the few that have money
to burn. We think they can
not continue. Prices should
advance for one of two rea-
sons.
FU-S-Many manufacturers
are tired Of making goods at
Il loss and will stop producing
until prices improve enough
to make resumption prohta-
bic. Thus bargain making
chances will decrease.
.Scr0H0-If demand should
increase many goods will adj
vance - present stocks are
small. Any cause that will
stimulate consumption must
advance prices. 1t appears
that either stagnation or &C
tivity will make prices go up.
The situation here is always
upon one line. Best bargains
possible. And the possibilities
of continuous BARGAINS have
kept this business active and
its growth cumulative while
dullness has prevailed every
where throughout the land
Tile question Of tie hoH-
which everybody should be
asking is Am | to share in
the bargains now current at
Wanamaker's ?" You must
answer tive cannot. We
give the chances. You must
use them.

mcnt from Mr.. Cleveland on this ques-
tlon, but most people will bo likely TO
regard it as sufficient assurance that the
president is not seeking further honor
at the hands Of his party.
1t is possible. though not probable.
that this uttcrancc of Mr.. Clcveland's
on the democratic situation will have
the effect 10 somewhat check the growth
Of the free silver sentiment in the ranks
Of the democracy. The fact must be
admitted, however, that the Influence Of
Mr.. Cleveland has very greatly declined
in the last few years.
Omaha daily bee., 1896-06-18
CLEVELAND HAS SPOKEN.


The response made by President
Cleveland to n newspaper request for
statement concerning the democratic
situation may be regarded as in the ma
ture of a message to the democracy.
Mr.. Cleveland does not take an alto
gether hopeless view of the situation.
He still has faith that when the repre-
sentatives Of the democratic party meet
in convention and come face to face
with the serious duty and responsibility
of proclaiming principles and nominat-
ing candidates, illusions now influential
in the party will be dispelled. He urges
the sound money democrats to fight to
the end and undoubtedly this counsel
from the foremost of democratic sound
money men will have the effect to slim
ulate their zeal and strengthen their
purpose.
But it must be apparent to Mr.. Cleve-
land, although he has made no figures
as to the probable action of the dele
gates to the national convention, that
there il hardly a possibility of averting
what he says will result in lasting dis
aster to the party organization. Already
the free silver element has elected
within $50 of majority of the dele
gates and of those yet to be chosen
twO-thrds, or nearly 300, are almost GER
tain to favor free silver, The most
careful estimates, by those who desire
that honest money should prevail in
tho IbicaUn convention ponpnln tn tbp
free silver faction enough delegates to
frame and adopt the platform and if it
can do this it can name the candidate
by adopting Il majority instead of II
two-thirds rule for that purpose. That
the free silver democrats will not be
conventions, however old, that may
stand in the way of their purpose, there
Is no doubt The rule that a two
thirds vote of the convention shall be
necessary to nominate candidates for
president and vice president has been
observed for more than sixty years,
but It will be unhcsitatingly swept away
at Chicago If the supporters of free
silver find IL necessary to do so in order
to nominate free silver candidate.
There is no intimation in Mr.. Cleve-
lands statement as to what the sound
money democrats should do in that
ease. lie advises them to fight to the
end, but he makes no suggestion as to
what they should do after defeat. 1t
was not 10 he expected, yet the ques-
tion Is perpleXing hundreds of thou
sands of honest money democrats. Per
haps their distinguished leader may
youchsafe advice on this when he finds
the cause of sound money at Chicago
hopeless. Possibly he will acquiesce
in declaration recently made by one
OF his most intimate friends, that no
democrat can vote for "A free silver can
didate for president.

The West and the Exposition.


Omaha is rejoicing over the fact that the
proposed Transmssisspi exposition, to be
held there In 1898, is now an assured fact,
since congress has passed the bill granting
congressional recognition of tho enterprise
and pledging 100000 from the national
treasury for government building and eX-
hibit, and Mr.. Cleveland has sanctioned 1t
by his signature With national recogni-
tion granted, the respective states and ter
ritories interested will not fail to follow
with similar action and there is every pros
pect that the enterprise will be a great sue
cess. The advantages which this exposition
will afford for ihe development of the vast
resources of2the country directly concerned
will be the tstr6ngest incentive for partici-
patton. IT. may mean the beginning of
another era Of great prosperity for the west.
Omaha in particular will benefit by the en-
terprise. which is something that city needs.

The republican national committee is
anxious to have the rules governing it
so amended that it need not issue the
call for the national convention six
months before the date set for its
meeting. 1t may be advisable to leave
the length Of time for which notice must
be given more in the discretion of the
committee, yet six months is not alb
normally long for n city that has to
construct an entirely new auditorium,
as st. Louis had to do. The time is by no
means too great, and If it were less
might bar out numerous competitors
for the convention.

From now on until 1898 every man,
woman ana child whose interests are
bound up in Omaha must put their
shoulders to the wheel If the great
TranSmississippi exposition Is to- be
made crcditablc to its builders ana
come up to the high expectations which
have with reason been aroused in the
people of the whole west The enter
prise is of such StupcndOus magnitude,
so much greater than any other single
project which we have ever undertaken,
that it's success will demand the best
energies and uncpasing effort of every
member of the community, each con
tributing in his own way according to
his utmost abilities.
The first step to be taken is the more
complete organization of the exposition
association that has taken upon Itself
the management of the huge venture.
For this the most careful thought of
our substantial business men is needed.
The financing of a great fair Is no small
matter. and without the requisite funds
no work can be prosecuted. The preSi-
dent of the exposition association has
issued personal invitations to the lead
ing merchants, iobbers. bankers and
business men generally to attend a
meeting at the Commercial club rooms
tomorrow evening TO discuss the situa-
ton and map out n policy for future
operations. 1t is to be hoped that no
man who has received an invitation
will fail to be present, unless unavoida-
bly, prevented IF the exposition Is to
be held" says President WattleS. IAN
assurance Of the cooperation of the
business interests of the city is
necessary. It is desired to discuss this
matter at this time and reach final
conclusion as to whether the proposed
exposition will be held"
The exposition will, Of course, be
held. but the measure of its success
will depend upon the vim with which
our people enter into the preliminary
work. With proper support, support
which they have n right to expect. the
managers will push the enterprise to
rapid completion, and on the appointed
day in the spring Of 1898 open to the
public an exposition the like of which
has not been seen before or since the
Worlds fair, and which will send fresh
pulsations of prosperity through every
| artery of the entire transmississippi
region.

Captain Bourke, whose death is reported,
was one of the most interesting men in our
army. 1t was his unusual fortune to have
fought in his youth in the civil war, ac-
quitting himself so creditably that Presi-
dent Lincoln appointed him a cadet at
West Point at the close of hostilties. AS an
Indian fighter Captain Bourke won new
laurels. He was a devoted student of In
dian folk lore, and his writings on the
subject have been widely recognized by
scientific societies. 1t is unfortunate that
he should have died just as he was ap-
pointed to Fort Ethan Allen, one of the
most attractive stations in the army, where
after his long and active career in the far
west, he might have found tranquility and
the opportunity for literary work in which
he had been successful.
