Even then, according to the senator, the
states of Ohio, Illinois and New York,
where there are few electoral votes
that will be counted in the next presi-
Dental election, remained firm and a
16 to 1 plank would not have been
recommended had it not been that the
territories of Oklahoma and Alaska
yielded to the dictation of Czar Bryan.
Thus insignificant territories that do not
even vote in the electoral college virtu-
ally determined the policy of the demo-
cratic party and yielded an influence
greater than states like New York and
Ohio. The latter are pivotal states in
this campaign. It was political suicide
for the democrats to decline to respect

RUSSIA AND HER TRADE BALANCE

RUSSIA AND HER TRADE BALANCE.
The effort to restore the trade balance
is responsible for much of the recent
legislation and colonial efforts of several
foreign governments.
The Legislative effort to restore the
balance of trade by giving commerce
artificial growth and by forcing things
into or through artificial channels is at
best an unsatisfactory experiment.. Such
parliamentary efforts are like walls
built on settling sands through which
the thing that it is sought to retain
escapes by force of natural pressure.
Russia has shown remarkable de-
crease in her trade balance. After an
extraordinary increase of $4,000, 900
in exports over imports in 1897 over
1896, and further increase of this sum
to $48, 100000 in 1898 under the artificial
edicts of the government, all of this was
finally lost when the commerce of the
world adjusted itself to the new condi-
tion of things. AS consequence, Rus.
sia's surplus Of exports over imports
vanished until the balance of trade for
1899 showed her to have exported $19,-
$4,000 less than she imported, net
trade loss of $67 100000 for last year
The Conservative, 1900-07-12

over 1898. The edicts alone remained.
Facing such a deficiency in the trade
balance Russia had to prepare more
artificial remedies. When these props
of statecraft are nuilified by the in
exorable laws of supply and demand
other and more barriers and devices
must be forced upon the scene. 1t
would seem that statecraft needs better
knowledge of domestic economy to
enable lawmakers to fully deal with
trade conditions.
If statesmen will study commercial
conditions and internal needs more
healthful progress can be made than by
looking blankly at deficiencies and then
trying to overcome them by mere
mathematics and ukases.
A nation must remember that muz-
zling Of imports means a hampering of
exports. The law of retaliation seems
to be inherent in the human mind.
When, therefore, measure meets meas
ure rearrangement of customs receipts
takes place. The years trade shows
how the final balance of trade is af-
fected.
OF Russia's total export list of 1884,
100000 for eight months of 1899, more
than $4,000, 900, or 50 per cent, was
derived from food and animal products
Olive seeds and wool enter largely into
the remainder. A nation which expects
to send out 80 large per cent of her
exports in food products cannot we'll
afford to antagonize the custom houses
of foreign countries.
The Muscovite might, by improving
the domestic condition of the peasants
of his country, create stronger internal
position which would create better
state of things. He can hardly expect
by harsh trade restrictions except to
develop his own interior or exterior
trade by force. The drastic measures
recently promulgated only show Russia's
desperation which the sudden reversal
of her trade balance explains. There is
a big hint in all this for other Continen-
tai powers.-National Provisioner.

Mr.. Bryan states that the reduction
"has not been commensurate with the
,, fall in price in
property" The
CONSERVATIVE asks Nebraska farmers
to compare the value of Nebraska land
in 1870 with it's value in 1900. A quar-
ter section of land in Otoe county sold
in 1876 for $500 per acre. The same
piece of land sold but short time ago
for $3.50. an acre. There has been pro-
portionate change in land values through
out the state. During the period
from 1875 to 1898 there was decline in
freight rates of fifty per cent, instead of
raise, as asserted by Mr.. Bryan. In
stead of depreciation in the value of
land during this period, as proclaimed
by the prophet of evil, it increased by
$50 per cent.
The value of land is dependent upon
it's productiveness. By productive
ness" is meant not
only that the soil
must be fertile but there must be the
means of putting the thing produced
where it may be used. The placing of
the products of the farm where they are
wanted is just as much factor in their
production as the labor of the farmer in
tilling the soil and sowing and harvest
ing the grain. Railroads, therefore, in
transporting the products of the soil, put
them where they may be used, thereby
giving them value and, by so doing,
enhance the value of the land. Just
stop and think what Nebraska land
would be worth, notwithstanding it's won.
derful fertility, were it not for the rail
roads connecting us with the markets of
the world. Without these means of plac-
ing our surplus products where they may
be used these products would be with
out value and the land which produces
them would likewise be without value.
Is it not fair to state that the remarkable
increase in the value of land in our state
is due to the improved methods of trans
portation? Since railroads have done so
much to create wealth for all the people,
why endorse, then, this demagogic
denunciation of them?

show the almost unprecedented increase
since 1896, in the

Irresistible energy OF odeFn advertising
by large merchandise establishments
has named two days more permanently
and noted than an ct OF Congress Some
years ago Hearn. OF Fourteenth Street,
New York. inaugurated Remnant Day
and now throughout the entire United
States department stores have adopted
the Idea, and Friday is generally known
as Remnant Day. It would be difficult
to estimate the cost of making day,
so TO speak; however, some idea may
be had from the fact that It costs one
large New York concern alone $4,000
per annum for keeping Remnant Day
alone before the people. 1t took some
thing like ten years of persistent adver-
Using and merchandising to feature Fri
day as Remnant Day, and even then 1t
required the combined and cumulative
force OF many large stores to reach the
desired results. Apropos the above
is the remarkable effort and wonderful
success of The Meyer Store, Of this city.

Day is the device of words, which,
though three weeks old, has made We'd
nesday at The Meyer Store the meeting
place for thousands in and outside the
city. An evasive reply was gotten when
one Of the proprietors was asked what it
cost to produce such tremendous and al
most immediate results, nor could the
method of procedure be ascertained
However, 1t was learned that this con-
Germ inspects goods all over the house
and selects. from each stock a certain
quantity which they estimate will last
the day out On these goods they make
special prices without any regard to cost
or value. Last Wednesday the rush was
so great that the selected goods were
actually sold before noon and the special
prices had to be applied to regular
goods, which naturally meant great
loss to the firm. Many persons are prone
to look upon every out-of-the-usual-
business announcement as suDterfuge
for increasing business, but The Meyer
Store, after clear deliberation, is pre-
pared to lose or make very little on
quantities of merchandise in order to
induce some of the people to do their
shopping on Wednesdays instead of Fri
