REVENUE.

The protective tariff policy Of the re-
publican party has been q policy under
which the American people have never
yet failed. by their own hard work, to
secure out Of the resources of their
country a fair level Of prosperity, a
reasonable dividend for their invest
ments. Under that policy there has
never been a lack of funds in our ma
tional treasury, nor has the govern
ment been embarrassed for funds at
any time. Under that policy our nation
al debt was steadily reduced.
At the close of the civil war wo had
an outstanding bonded indebtedness of
$4,000. 600, 900 drawing interest. and Ill

fires were kept aglow in American fur

American workingmen, and women
were thrifty and Aa7nv. But whenever.

has been made to. drift away. from the

changed condition of things in our
country is the fact that during the sew
en- months prior to February, last, u
exports of gold coin and bullion de-
creased $780, 1856 ,13S; this shows a strong
and healthy flow of gold into this coun-
try under our present administration,
while under the Cleveland administra-
ton there was a tremendous and con.
tinuous outflow of that precious metal.
Certainly this indicates a very desira-
lie and healthy condition of our for
eign trade relations.
During the first year Of our republic
can administration we have exported
nearly a million dollars worth of ag-
ricultural implements more than du-
ring the last year of the previous dem
ocratic administration.
And American farmers, during the
first year of this administration, have
sold to foreign countries over five mil.
lion dollars worth of cattle, horses
mules and other animals. more thar
they sold during the last year of tn,

OF the previous administration. The ex-
cess Of wheat vas $40,3 6 ,0SS: of corn.
SIS, 535 PAP, and the total of all bread
stufs, in excess, amounted to $69, 729.-

May. 1898. under the Dingley law. ex-
cceded u exports in May, 1897, under
the Wilson law, in the fabulous sum Of
$s0,520.725. This record challenges and
record W. made by any administra-
ton in our country's history. and
proves beyond question the oft estab-
l.shed fact that the best friend the far
rners Of this country ever had is the re-
publican party.
It was prophesied, prior to the last
presidential election, that the defeat Of
the republican party meant dollar
wheat for the American farmer: but
the republican party triumphed ana as
a result wheat has brought more than
a dollar. at times; only a short time
ago in North Dakota-one of the
greatest wheat producing countries In
the world-home wheat was selling on.
the track at $1.41 per bushel, and enc
day 1t went up to $1.63; indeed, It is
said that n farmer there who
thought he had no wheat left. scraped
up a wagon load of screenings and
chicken feed never intended for mar
ket, and got an even hundred dollars
for the load. And IL IL of record that
one former there. under this republic
can administration, sold 10000 bushels
OF wheat for $4,000. Not 80 bad is It?
Indeed. under this administration
wheat has become so high and silver 30
low that a bushel of. one is worth about
a, much as a bushel Of the other.
But the remarkable prosperity is not
due alone to the high price Of wheat.
fer all farm products are high, while
groceries and clothing are as cheap as
ever; indeed. You can go almost any
where in the tailor shops Of the large
cities and have made to order a suit Of
clothing. to order. good enough for any
man. at. the remarkably low price Of

In the first year OF President McKin-

wheat and other cereals $4,000 ,00Q
more than they received during thu
last year Of the Cleveland administra-
ton: this is $50, 900. 700 more than they
received in any year since 1892; ever

And during this first year of our re-
publican administration, in the midst
OF their wonderful prosperity. the far

OF Nebraska have paid Off more tan

In comparing the amusements of the city
with those of the Midway the percentage
seems to favor by considerable in numbers
those of the Midway. There Is, however,
very great distinction in character and
class, those OF the city being play houses Of
drama and comedy, while those of the Mid
way are simply places of amusement, with
touches of high art, illusions and vaudeville
combined. A visitor to the Midway can de-
vote a number of days or evenings very
pleasantly in doing the places of entertain
ment and from each one goes to the next
fully satisfied that the last was the best
they ever visited. Among those OF most in
terest to visitors a few may be enumerated.
The Streets Of All Nations covers an
area of over 80, 1000 square feet in the center,
with booths and bazars, principally of the
oriental order. At the north end of the
court a 'theater gives continuous entertain
ments on the vaudeville order. Upwards OF
275 people are employed, with a large num-
Der OF camels, donkeys, etc.
