THE corn crop promises to be so
large this year as to make the pro-
blem Of handling it difficult one
for the railroads. The increase
over last year, which was . year Of
good crops in the corn belt, is es-
pecially notable in Kansas aud Ne

the size Of the corn crop this year
is 360,000,000 bushels for each of
these states, a crop that will seri'
ously tax the carrying capacity of
the railroads entering their terri
tory, Other estimates place the
size OF the Kansas crop this year
ut ai5,000,000 bushels and the Neb

cast in Congress, having any rela-
tion to the money question, was for
the free and unlimited coinage of
gold and silver at the legal ratio Of
l6 to l. Senator Cockrell, in his
letter above referred to, emphasizes
this fact in the following words:
HE has aepeatejIy spoken and
voted for the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver equally with gold
at the old ratio Of sixteen to one,
the only feasible ratio which can
be agreed upon; and has opposed
the executive discrimination against
silver in favor of gold, and the re-
demption by executive authority of
greenbacks and treasury notes eX-
clusively in gold, holding to the
clear right aud option Of the Gov
ernment to redeem them in silver

extract is rcatfirmation Of what

namely, that Mr.. Dockory's views
with reference to redemption, :"

trine. The law requiring coin re.
domption of obligations assumed
on Il deprecated paper basis is
very bad and Il grossly unjust law;
but il is the law, and while it re-
mains on the statute books it should
be obeyei in letter and spirit. But
the very elements that secured the
enactment nf this unjust law are the
ones who oppose its enforcement.
Having first obtained coin, they
now demand gold, and if that be-
comes too abundant TO suit their
purposes, they will probably ask
for diamonds. Their greed has no
limit. Mr. Dorkery opposes this
insatiate greed by demanding that
the coin obligations Shall he "ro.

preme Court has declared means

THE records Of Congress show
that Mr.. Dockery voted seven times
for the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio of l6 to |, and
never against it, that he voted for
the seignorage bill, and then voted
to pass 1T over Cleveland's veto;
that he voted against the repeal Of
the Sherman law, and that as early
rs August 25, 1898, he made speech
upon the floor the house in which
he stated that "The unconditional
repeal Of the Sherman act means
the unconditional surrender OF sill.
ver," and made as eloquent and
logical an argument against the
adoption Of the gold standard as we
ever read, u quotation from which
is as follows:
The adoption Of q single gold
standard by the United States will
result in a lower wage for labor.
the depreciation of farm values,
farm products, and property OF all
kinds, even if our population should
remain as at present and there
should be no expansion in the
volume of trade and commerce
That Industrial disturbances would
follow the adoption Of such a policy
becomes more apparent when it is
remembered that the average annual
increase of our population ranges
from one million to one and hall
million, and that the enterprise and
tireless energy of our people are
constantly exploring and discover
ing new fields for the investment
of capital and the employment OF
labor. The addition to the volum e
of our circulating medium under
the provision of the Sherman law
has been $150,669,459 or about $50
100000 annually, being less than 81
per capita; and yet it is proposed
by the Wilson bill SHERMAN repea

ing this annual increase without
offering any substitute therefor.

no reason to believe otherwise, then it is
high time to protect the citizen and con-
sumner against the trusts that have no regard
for God or man. The supreme court of In
diana very recently passed upon the ques-
ton of trusts in the interest of the people,
and the supreme court Of the United States,
in the Joint Traffic association case, upheld
the constitutionality of the antitrust act
and held that the Joint Traffic association
was illegal. l have no doubt but that a
remedy can be found for the trust evil and
that the conference at Chicago in September
among other things will propose and discuss
remedies for that which every thinking per-
son in our country today believes to be one
of the most serious evils confronting our
people"
DR.. A.. Hugh Nipple expresses this view
of the subject: "The producers Of raw ma
terial, the consumers of finished products,
the workmen who transform the one into the
other and the tradesmen who handle them
are all feeling the effects of a disturbing in
fuence which they attribute to trusts. All
are clamoring for legislation. They want
a law that will destroy the power of the
trusts throughout the country, or in the
particular state in which they live, for
getting that the stringent laws now upon
the statute books which it was hoped would
have such an effect have been found to be
practically valueless. 1t will be one of the
chief duties of the antitrust convention to
make clear to the people the fact that all
trusts have not a common origin, and that
different classes Of trusts must be dealt with
in different ways. Some trusts depend upon
tariffs for their existence and can best be
reached through tariff legislation; some,
like the Standard Oil company, have been
built up through determinations in freight
rates; some owe their monopoly to fran
chises granted by states and municipalities;
some control the source Of supply Of some
natural product, while still others exist
simply by virtue Of agreements among manu-
facturers and dealers as to prices and meth
DDS of doing business. A clear understand
ing of these distinctions is needed in order
to prepare the way for effective legislation"

Ride with the President

The wise general manager of the great
railroad said: Il am never nervous except
when l have charge Of the president Of the
United States"
We were sitting in the managers car,
carrying the president and a party of dis
tinguished Americans from Omaha to Wash
ington, relates a writer in the Philadelphia
Evening Post. The superintendent was
there, along with half a dozen minor Of
~fcials, all under instruction as to some
phase of the journey then under way.
Mr.. Brown, the general manager of the
northern lines of the Burlington, the COM
pany then in control Of the presidents train,
was in consultation with Mr.. Elliott, gen
eral manager Of the southern lines, to which
the train was to pass at the city of Quincy.
The Pennsylvania Railroad company, fur
nishing the extensive and luxurious equi-
page, was represented on board, but the i'm
mediate conduct of the important work of
moving the president and his party was, as
it always is, in the hands OF the railroad
over whose rails the train was moving.
Mr.. Brown and Mr.. Elliott glanced at the
speed indicator. The train was going forty
eight miles an hour. "See Mr.. Cortelyou,"
said one of them, "and ask him II the
president wants to stop at -"
The president smilingly said that there
ought to be a little stop at the place.
Zone Of my old congressional friends
lives there" he said.
When the train stopped there was the
usual scurrying of celebrities to the rear
platform. The unobserving would have

The Antitrust Con-
ventiOn at Chicago

Nebraska will be represented at the anti
trust conference in Chicago by a delegation
Of men who have distinguished themselves
in state and national politics; men who have
had considerable to do with the shaping of
the policy Of political parties within the
state and whose influence has been felt in
the making of national platform declara-
tions.
Governor Poynter has named the following
delegation: Colonel William ]. Bryan, Hon.
William V. Allen, Hon. Edward Rosewater.
Hon. Lorenzo Crounse, Hon. r. d. Suther-
land, Hon Frank T. Ransom and Hon. A.
Hugh Nipple.
The attitude of Colonel Bryan toward the
trust is well known, as is that of ex-senator
Allen. Hon. Edward Rosewater first be-
came prominent for his advocacy of anti
monopoly measures twenty-five years ago,
and has ever been a foe of trusts organized
for stock jobbing and eXtortion. Ex-Gov-
ernor Crcunse has been prominently identi-
fed with the anti-monopoly wing of the re-
publican party and was called to the gov
ernor's chair because of his known senti-
ments along these lines.
1t goes without saying that Nebraska will
be heard from at the antitrust conference
in Chicago in September. Expressions of
opinion have been secured from all the dele
gates and are here given:
Colonel w. ]. Bryan says: 81 have not
time to write an extended sentiment in re-
gard to the trusts, but you can quote me
as saying: An industrial aristocracy Is as
dangerous to free institutions as a landed
aristocracy would be. Monopoly means the
bondage of the many to the few
In his book "The Last Battle Mr.. Bryan
has this to say concerning trusts:
'lf trusts exist in violation of law they
pan ha Aytarfr,ipatnl np1,y Iu tho anfnrnn
ment of the law. If present laws are in
sufficient, new and sufficient laws can be
devised. If the constitution, which has been
so construed as to prevent the taxation of
the incomes of corporations, can be so con-
strued as to protect trusts 1t Is high time
for a constitutional amendment which will
enable the American people to protect them
se.ves from trusts. . . / believe that the
continued existence of the trust Is largely
due to the fact that many public officials,
without openly defending it, are at heart
friendly to it,"
Concerning the forthcoming antitrust con
yention Hon. Edward Rosewater said:
1.-The first national Antitrust convention
convened at the instance of the legislature
of Minnesota in the city OF Chicago, in June
1895, and was presided over by then gov
ernor, now Senator Knute Nelson. The con,
vention formulated a set of resolutions EN-
bodying the consensus of conclusions reached
and recommendations made for nationa
legislation. AS chairman OF the committe,
of resolutions, | was in position to compar,
and digest the various views entertained b!
the leading members OF the convention, AM
when the resolutions We're presented, 1t wa
incumbent upon me to champion and defent
and secure its adoption. While the radica
anti-monopoly and anti-corporation elemen
