WORK OF COMMITTEES.

The calendars OF both branches OF Congress
contain the titles Of many public measures
which have been considered and perfected IN
committee The Importance and significance Of
this fact will be appreciated by everybody who
is at all familiar with legislation In Congress-
The work done by committee OF the Senate or
House does not usually excite much attention
at the time, but when the bill comes up for con-
sideratiOn action that work tells most effect
lively. The best committeeman is the best leg
islator.- once said the late Chairman DingIey
Of the Ways and Means Committee TO the
writer. and that remark summed UP the results
Of the observations and experience Of one of the
ablest and most efficient legislators who ever
sat in Congress. In great many cases-in
fact, in nearly every in which committee
action has been unanirnOus-the mere state
ment of that fact tnsures favorable action by
the body to which the report has been submit
ted: and in cases where the committee member
ship is divided the opinion OF the majority
ally prevails, at least in that body to which the
report has been made.
In view of these facts. the following brief
summary OF some Of the measures which were
favorably reported by committees OF the Senate
or House Of Representatives. some cases by

endar OF unfinished business; bills TO increase
the efficiency OF the Revenue Marine service,
favorably reported in both branches; pure food

post or on any property belonging 10 the United
States
In the course of the session the Committee
Ways and Means granted g number OF hearings
70 representatives OF various business interests
who desired a repeal or modification OF the War
Revenue act and thus accumulated much
tertal for use in the consideration OF the subject
of a reduction OF taxation. The committee
authorized 10 sit in the recess Of Congress for
that purpose

with 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 ats electoral vote to a Democratic
candidate for the Presidency since the
war. lndiana 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
dldates for Governor, and to an extent
they will did Mr.. Bryan, but not enough
to overcome the sentiment held every
where against him by conservative and
thoughtful people. ALI this apparent
prospect of success over Mr. Bryan ought
not to cause a lessening of the struggle
against him. 1t will not do in this contest
to simply prevent his having majority
in the Electoral College by giving Presi-
dent Mckinley barely enough to win

What ought to be accomplished is the

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
man in the Presidency whom you must
virtually put under bonds to keep the
peace? r;.,..
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 even
Undertake so much that is revolutionary,
even though he fail in it all?
No Time for Experiments.
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 justities an experiment fraught
with so much danger to the stability of
things at home. The question may be
very properly raised whether d man who
is wrong on every important problem
which affects the citizens OF the United
States at home can adjust and administer

The Republican party pro-

Republican ticket, and all
those who are tired of hard
times have got to vote tho
Democratic ticket, If they
would expect any relief.
These are hard times There
will be harder times if the gold
andard continues.

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. II you
ask how the gold standard at
fects the laboring men. we re-
ply that 1t destroys the oppor-
tunity for labor, multlplies the
number of idle mon, 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 aad to
spare. .@z-.+. ...s

DEMOCRATS KICK At
FARMERS PROSPERITY.
Farm Products Advance More than the
Goods that Farmers Have to Buy
at the Stores.
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 fault-hnders 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.
MI. 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 steeD as ten representative articles
Of farm consumption.
The tables which follow show the
prices Of the ten articles of farm produce
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 Mr.. Bryan's second nomination
as compared with the prices at the date
OF his first nomination:

The political outlook in the West is,
believe. generally satisfactory to those
who are opposed to Mr.. Bryan and 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 Last, his defeat will
become matter of certainty. The Pacific
States. the Dakotas, Wyoming, and Kan
sas will all be found to be against him.

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 1886 and
1900 will answer this question. It 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 IS 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 nominal
ton on July 5, 1900. The records Of the
bureau of statistics show that the high

It 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 single ex-
ception) from IS per cent to 6S per cent,
OF an average increase in the entire Sc
ries of articles Of 45.S 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
1853 per cent
Now to take the single item Of farm
production upon which the fault-6nders
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; it's acreage in the United States
in 1899 was practically double, that Of
