with a strong probability Of Nebraska
unless State pride is extremely strong
Joining them. 1t is hoped to make up this
loss by carrying Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio. Any one who knows Illinois poll
tics realizes that it is naturally a Repub-
llcan State, and has gone Democratic
only once in forty years, and that when
the business elements were favorable to
the Democratic candidates.
The same is to be said of Ohio, with
the added statement that it has never
given it's electoral vote to q Democratic
candidate for the Presidency since the
war. Indiana is the only close State, and
those who know it best believe that the
Democrats will not win there. In both
Illinois and Indiana, exceptionally strong
men have been named as Democratic can
didates for Governor, and to an extent
they will aid Mr.. Bryan. but not enough
to overcome the sentiment held every
where against him by conservative and
thoughtful people. All this apparent
prospect of success over Mr.. Bryan ought
not to cause q lessening of the struggle
against hin. 1t will not do in this contest
to simply prevent his having a majority
in the Electoral College by giving Presi-
dent Mckinley barely enough to win.
DECISIVE DEFEAT FOR BRYAN.
What ought to be accomplished is the
decisive defeat of Organism as a disturb
ing factor in the politics of this country.
The country ann afford with each re-
curing four years to be upset from one
end to the other by the danger Of O man
of such vagaries as he entertains obtain
ing control Of the nations affairs. The
plea that is put forth by some men of
ability that he can be rendered harmless
before election by the enactment of new
laws is hardly craftsmanship. Why place
a man in the Presidency whom you must
virtually put under bonds to keep the
peace!
Mr.. Bryan has so grievously wronged
the Democratic party that no Democrat
who really wishes to see the party get
back into public confidence ought to aid
and abet him at this time. He would de-
stroy the country's currency system if he
could by substituting the silver standard.
Why give him Endorsement in that deter !!
mination? He would abrogate the right
of private contract, overturn the tradi-
tons. practices, and high position of the
Supreme Court, and make impossible the
quick and effective maintenance of public
order in times of excitement and stress.
Why make it possible for him to aver
undertake so much that Is revolutionary, |
even though he fail in it all?
No Time for Experiments.
1 hardly think the thoughtful judgment
Of any citizen will say that the possibili-
ty that Mr.. Bryan may do better in the
Philippines than President Mckinley is
doing justifes an experiment fraught
with so much danger to the stability of
things at home. The question may be
very properly raised whether a man who
is wrong on every important problem
which affects the citizens of the United
States at home can adiuSt and ndm,inistor !

Farm Products Advance More than the
Goods that Farmers Have to Buy
at the Stores.
EVIDENT cAUsEoF MORTGAGE cANcEL1NG
Since Mckinley Has Been at the Helm Farm Products Have
Advanced As Per Cent, While Articles Bought by
Farmers Increased Only 10 Per Cent.

The Democratic f~ault-finders base their
efforts to create discomfort among The
farmers in 1900 upon a different plane
from that of 1896. Then their complaint
was that the prices Of farm products
were too low Now they complain that
the farmers are too prosperous and the
prices of their products are too high.
MIR. Bryan was nominated in Chicago
on July 10, 1896. and again at Kansas
City on July 5, 1900. Let us take the
quotations of the first week in July.
1896, and July, 1900, the respective dates
are brought as nearly as practicable to
the dates Of his respective nominations.
Nobody will question the fairness of
selecting wheat, corn, oats, lard, pork,
beef, cotton, wool, hay and butter as
ten representative articles of farm pro-
duction. nor will anybody question the
fairness of selecting sugar. tea, coffee,
rice, petroleum, leather, cotton cloth. tin
plate, sisal from which binder Irvine is
made) and Bessemer pig iron (the basis
OF all agricultural requirements in iron
and steel) as ten representative articles
of farm consumption.
The tables which follow show the
prices of the ten articles of farm produc-
ton and Of an equal number Of articles
OF farm consumption at the dates named
and the percentage Of increase in each
article, also the average increase, at the
date Of MIR. Bryan's second nomination
as compared with the prices at the date
of his first nominations:
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1900-10-04

1t will be seen by an examination of
the tables that in every article of farm
production named there has been an in
crease in price ranging with a single ex-
ception) from IS per cent to 6S per cent,
or an average increase in the entire Sc
ries of articles of 45.a per cent.
In the list of the articles of farm, con-
sumption there is a reduction in price
in two of the articles named. while the
increase in the other articles ranges much
lower than that of the farm products,
the average increase for the entire series
of articles of farm consumption being
10 per cent.
Thus we see that in ten representative
articles of farm consumption, the aver
age increase has been 10 per cent, while
in the ten equally representative articles
of farm production, the increase has been
45.S per cent.
Now to take the single item Of farm
production upon which the f~ault-finders
base their arguments and by which they
measure all articles of farm consump-
ton. namely, wheat. How do you sup
pose it happened that they have selected
this particular article wheat" by which
to measure everything else? There is
corn; its acreage in the United States
in 1899 was practically double that Of
wheat, its production -four times as many

II we are defeated In this
campaign, there is nothing be-
fore the people but four years
more of hard times and greater
agitation.
DO you think we have drained
the cup of sorrow to its dregs?
No, my friends, you cannot set
a limit to the present hard
times.
Business men complain That
business conditions are bad. I
warn them that these condi-
lions cannot be improved by
following up the policies or
the Republican party.
The Republican party pro-
duces policy that makes hard
times. All those VIII love hard
times ought to vote for the
Republican ticket, and ali
those who r tired Of hard
times have got to vote the
Democratic ticket, If they
would expect any relief.
These are hard times There
will be harder times If the gold
standard continues.
lfyou ask how the gold STAN
dard affects the farmer, we
tell you that the gold standard
lowers the price of products of
him who sells without lower
Ing his taxes or debts. If you
ask how the gold standard af-
fectsthe laboring men. we re-
ply that it destroys the oppor-
tunity for labor. multipiies the
number OF idle men, and fills
our streets with those anxious
for work, who cannot find the
opportunity. The gold STAN
dard. by increasing idleness,
brings poverty to those who
ought to have enough and to
spare.
The gold standard means a
dearer dollar and falling
prices. and falling prices mean
hard times.
If we have gold standard,
prices are as certain to fail as
a stone which Is thrown into
the air.
An American dollar will buy
two Mexican dollars and also
about two bushels of wheat at
the same time. There was u
time when an American dollar
would buy only one Mexican
dollar, and then an American
dollar would buy only one
bushel of wheat. If the time
eve comes when an American
dollar will buy three Mexican
dollars, then It will buy three
bushels of wheat.
You know that with the
slightest prospect Of foreign
war we would suspend god
payments, and go either to n
silver or to u paper basis at
once.
Until you have bimetalIism
millhands will stand on the
corner and wonder when the
gold standard will bring them
good times.

and which has been widely discussed in
the study of national economic questions
of late years. Why not measure by this?
A glance at the table which shows the
relative prices of articles in 1896 and
1900 will answer this question. 1t hap
pens that the percentage of increase in
the price Of wheat is less than that of
any other article of farm production,
since wheat is more directly affected by
the production in other parts of the world
where crops have been generally good
during the last two seasons.
Wheat has only advanced 35 per cent
from 1896 to 1900. while corn advanced
;4S per cent, mess pork 60 per cent, lard
6S per cent and wool 60 per cent. Now
it is easy to see why the Democrats
happened" to select this particular item
wheat by which to measure everything
else. simply because it shows a smaller
increase in price than almost any other
article in the list.
Yet they are gravely marching through
the agricultural regions Of this country
stating to the farmer that "a bushel of
wheat in 1900 will buy less of the articles
which you consume than a bushel of
wheat would buy of those same articles
in 1896" Let us accept the challenge.
Mr.. Bryan's first nomination occurred
on July 10. 1896, and his second nomina-
tion on July s., 1900. The records Of the
bureau of statistics show that the high

The political outlook in the West Is, I
believe, generally satisfactory TO those
who are opposed to Mr.. Bryan aud the
things for which he stands in public life.
In the extreme West his most ardent
friends are ready to concede that he has
lost much ground since the campaign Of
1896, and unless he can recoup himself in
the Middle West and East, his defeat will
become a matter of certainty. The Pacific
States, the Dakotas, Wyoming, and Kan
sas will all be found to be against him,

Mr. Bryan's plea for the salvation of

carry out at home, in matters which 80 to

would be the height of folly in this cam
paign to forget the very important effect
which Mr.. Brynn's election would have
upon the business interests of the coun-
try. In the minds Of those who carry on
the affairs which make up our business
world he is associated with uncertainty
and doubt. 1t will not do to say that
these interests are selfish and ought to re-

will be those who are most dependent

the curtailment of employment of labor,
with attendant distress and idleness.

dangerous man to the labor interests to-

the New York market, 64Ac per bushcl,
and on July 5. 1900, was S9c per bushel.
Now let us follow the same general
plan adopted in the other comparisons
and by selecting ten principal articles of
farm consumption. obtain their relative
prices in the New York market in 1896
and 1900, Mt the dates nearest Mr.. Bry-
ans nomination, and thus find out what
quantity Of each bushel Of wheat, at the
prices named at these two dates, would
have bought. The articles of farm con-
sumption selected for this comparison are
equally representative with those of farm
production above named, namely, sugar,
coffee, petroleum, rice, salt, leather, cot
ton cloths, starch, mackerel and cut nails.
The authority for the prices is the same
as that already utilized-the bureau Of
statistics.
In every case h quantity of these
representative articles OF farm con-
sumption which a bushel of wheat
would buy in 1900 is greater than a
bushel Of wheat could have bought
in 1896.

The cause OF the dissension existing
at present among the colored voters OF
the district was the failure OF the post
Office authorities to appoint Scott Tay-
Tor, a popular young colored man. to
the position OF mall clerk. Taylor
was seen last night by Register re-
porter. and his story Of the matter IL,
in substance. as follows:
Last fall it was decided that sub
stitute clerk was needed. Taylor at
the time was night janitor az the post
Office. When the examination was
held on. November I'D, Taylor was the
only colored man among the class Of
ten that took it He made the highest
grade Of the class. receiving a percent
age OF s4.60. He then circulated a petit
ton, and secured 300 names Of colored
citizens who are taxpayers. endorsing
his application for the position. This
petition was sent to Congressman
Dovener. but was never even acknowI-
edged by that gentleman
Some short time thereafter Assistant
Postmaster Alf. Davis saw Taylor and
told him that there were no vacancies
and there would be no appointments
Davis also instructed Taylor to quiet
the colored people down by telling
them what he lDavisJ hal said.
