Omaha. Neb., Dec. 6.-Celebrating its
new birth, the union Pacific has taken
two falls out Of Father Time. and has
set q pace for fast running that will
likely stand In the west for some time.
Three record-breaking spurts in one
week Is Its record. In the first q $50
mile was run was made at the rate SIS
miles an hour. with q 100-mile dash at
the rate OF Cs.2 miles an hour. Saturday
the fast mail was again late in Wyom-
Ing. and was danced across the Nebras-
ka plains at a rate that makes the last
weeks run look slow. It covered forty
two miles from Sidney to Julesburg in
IS minutes: eighty-one miles from Jules
burg 20 North Platte in Il minutes; six
~ miles from North Platte toLexington
in 90 minutes: thirty-five miles from
W htdTHcy III Cd IHiLutcS,
and a final dash of forty-two miles from
kearney TO Grand Island in 90 minutes,

Island was made in 23S minutes, an
average of CSC miles an hour. From
Grand Island to Omaha the run was
ordinary, the lost time having been
made up. Yesterday the Union Pacific
brought a theatrical company on a spe-
cial train from Julesburg to Council
Bluffs. 2as miles. in 2ss minutes. From
this must be deducted five minutes fol-
changing engines at Grand Island, -four
minutes delay by Missouri Pacific
freight train on the crossing al Portal
and the necessary slowing up through
Omaha. q distance OF five miles, and @
slow run over the Missouri river bridge
The actual running time OF the trair

The Farmers and the Tariff

Bryan aud his followers are try
ing to have it appear that the
present show of prosperity is due
solely to crop failures in foreign
countries and a great shortage in
the food supply all over the world
That failure is only one of the
causes of the wheat advance. The
business Improvement which in
creases the consumption of wheat
in this country would have sent
the price up even if an average
crop had been harvested in Europe.
The one thing that the free
trader always overlooks or hopes
the people will overlook is the con-
sumption i'll the home market. 1t
is estimated that when the work.
men III the various trades and in
duStIies in the United States are
fully employed that they consume
100, 900, 900 bushels more of wheat
than when they are idle. The
laborers are busy now in the shops
mills and factories, as a result
fewer free soup houses are needed
and the bake shops and Touring
mills are pressed to supply the de.
mand. The average consumption
of wheat in the Old World is four
bushels year per capita, while in
this country IN good times it is
over six bushels per capita.
AS it is with the farmers wheat
SO it is with his pork. lard. beef,
vegetables and other products.
When people in the various trades
prosper the farmer has a sure mar
ket for his products at good prices
and iair profit. The Dingley tariff
will revive all American industries
and with all our industries pros
pering we are no longer the prey
OF foreign powers and foreign
famines but q self sustaining indie
pendent industrial nation

into effect has been steadily increas-
ing. The receipts OF the second
month are i29s per cent in excess
Of the first month. Not only are
the receipts more but the deficit is
greatly reduced. 1t is now at the
end of the second month little
more than $4,000, 900, but the de-
felt OF the Wilson law at the end
OF its second month of operation
was SI5,555, 500. The comparison
is favorable and gratifying to the
friends of the law who hope to see
It bring the treasury to the condi-
ton of being able to pay as it goes
and lay aside comfortable surplus
to reduce the debt accumulation OF
the last administration.
Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1897-10-15

The great political campaigns OF
the year are drawing rapidly to a
close. In Ohio, Iowa and Nebras-
ka the silver issue is again the
prominent feature of the campaign.
Free silver is fighting All uphill
battle against the returning tide of
prosperity that has made such
sweeping changes in industrial
conditions since last fall. Further
than this the fusion forces are as
strong and compact an organiza-
ton as they were year ago, and
the opposition in the shape Of the
gold democracy is stronger, more
confidant and more aggressive this
year for their object is to visit
such defeat upon the silver party
as will give the gold democrats the
national and~ state organizations
next year. Defeat this fall means
political oblivion to the BRYAN
wing of the democracy. If Brya.,
carries the cause to victory his
speeches are well worth the $500
apiece that he demands for them
But, from the outlook it will take
more than blast from his buple
horn to make victory for he cause
Of silver possible in the states that
will hold elections next month.

The second month ofthe Dingley
law proves that it will be a revenue
producer equal to the demands o.
the government when conditions
become normal. The treasury re-
ceipts in this second month of its
existence, Septe mber, are greater
than those OF the second month of
the Wilson law, aud in STUDYING
these comparisons the contrasting
conditions must not be overlooked
The Wilson law found warehouses,
docks aud foreign vessels waiting
to pour in an enormous stock of
ioreign goods TO add to its earnings
the moment it should come into
operation. for importers waited to
take advantage of the reduced
tariff. The Dingley law found
conditions exactly reversed, and
the country already flooded with
foreign importations rushed in to
avoid the higher duty. The growth

in abundance for the purposes
above named All that is needed
is an organized effort to secure the
results. The white pine of the
Clearw alter can be marketed best
from Lewiston, flour for expor,
could be shipped from here as
easily as wheat, and canned beef
pork, vegetables and fruits would
save the country double profits on
its native products

The first political pointer for
next years campaign CONES from
the meeting Of the Idaho demo-
Gratis and ''other friends of silver"
at Spokane last Saturday. Having
absorbed the populist party last
campaign by using both their plat
form and their votes to get them-
selves safely entrenched in the
state government, they seek now
to widen the platform and take

Visitors at the Spokane fair see

Visitors at the Spokane fair seem
we'll impressed by the grape and
wine exhibit from Lewiston. Elk
perts have pronounced our wine
equal to that which made Calisor-
mia famous. Lewiston valley is
we'll adapted to viticulture. The
soil and climate present the
conditions requisite to the growth
Of the grape. Frosts rarely inter
fere with the crops. and pests have
not as yet put in an appearance
The vintage is certain and when
pressed it ripens into wine that
has flavor and a sparkle that will
compare with the best America
produces.

All comment on the exhil

All comment on the exhibit at
the Spokane fair makes honorable
mention of the Potlatch fruit ex.
hibit. The fruit industry has made
a very remarkable growth in tina,
locality. People who had grown
to think that the Lewiston valley
held all the available fruit lands III
northern Idaho have been sur.
prised by the excellence Of the frui,
on II e Potlatch. Successful frui,
growing adds another valuable in.
dustry to that section of oul
county. The settlers on the reser.
walton have been quick to see the
advantage IF diversified industry
and are planting orchards on theil
claims. A report has been pub
! lished to the effect that $4,000
trees will be found on the reserva
ton next spring When these
come to bearing the fruit industry
will rival the wheat industry i,
noting the country's valuable pro
ducts.

Idaho has enough territory

Idaho has enough territory to
allow about 4So acres to every citi.
zen. In the light Of this fact il
seems strange that any two citizens
should try to occupy the same
space at the same time and draw
the city marshal and police Judge
into the con:roversary. Three.
fourths Of square mile ought tc
be room enough tor almost any
kind Of swell.

American exports are increasing
and English exports are declining.
IF there is need OF any further ar
gument as to the cause of the de-
cline than the following from the
London Times some of our free
trade papers must conjure it up.
The Times says; Whatever its
ultimate effect is it is clear that
the immediate result of protection
is to close the American markets
very largely to British exports.
We may as we'll make up our
minds to this tact and seek an
opening for our goods elsewhere. i"
1t appears from the above that the
tariff leaven is working to raise the
industrial loaf. Under the Wilson
tariff England supplied the Ameri-
can markets, but under the Ding
ley bill American labor will be
busily employed supplying It's own
markets.
