Dare Any Farmer Say He Has Not
Prospered?

EEOSpCECQ!
With all the talk and clamor about
oppressive trusts, the fact remains
that the people of Nebraska generally
are more prosperous and are making
more money than ever before. Owing
to the high price of farm and meat
products, the farmers and stock grow
ers of Nebraska will receive so per
cent more for their surplus products
this year than they did in 1896.
Everything that is grown on the
farm has gone up in price and has in
creased in purchasing capacity. A
few hogs will sell for enough to build
good barn and few more will bring
enough to build house. An ordinary
hog will bring $50 and an ordinary
steer, $50 to $50. In 1896 pork was
$3.75 per hundred and beef cattle 81,
or about 40 per cent less than now.
Corn has gone up, wheat has gone up
and interest rates have fallen.
The crop this year will sell for $20.-
100000 more than it would at the close
of the Cleveland administration. The
merchant, the farmer, the laborer, the
professional man-eyerybody is more
prosperous than ever before. Do you
want a change?

THERE is nothing about the
Republican platform this year to
befuddle the average voter. Strip
ped of all the outside flourishes
of oratory it is simply: "Abun-
dant work and good wages to be
perpetuated. "

Fowler's Record Becoming Famous

The voters of Nebraska made a
wise choice when they elected Prof.
W. K. Fowler superintendent of pub
lie instruction. Prof. Fowler is one OF
the most thorough school men in the
state. He has exercised a keen inter
est in school work for many years,
and since he has been at the head of
the department of public instruction
he has devoted every minute of his
time to the educational interests of Ne
braska. 1t is admitted by those inter-
the schools have made splendid prog
ress under his direction. He is de-
voted to the work and allows no oppor-
tunity to improve the system of in
struction to escape him.

THE story of prosperity under
Republican policy is told best in
the increase of money used, money
earned and money saved. In what
period of the country's history
can the Democratic party point
with pride to anything that has
been done to promote prosperity
in the land?
The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1902-10-17

ONE of the signs of the times
can be encountered any day in
the West. The Democratic mem
bers of Congress who voted against
an appropriation for the shelter
and protection of Americ IN troops
in active service are talking to
empty benches in this campaign.
This is true in every state in the
West.

there Is just one of two things re
sponsible for it-wanton extravaganza
or wholesale dishonesty. AS a matter
of fact the evidence shows both.
The incumbent Republican admins
tration stands without mark Of dis
honesty or extravaganza against IL.
There have been no quarrels over
spoils and no scandals in the state
r. institutions. The very best men to
be found in the Republican party
were placed in charge of these institu-
tions. Honesty and fitness were two
things that were always considered in
making appointments. This has re-
suited In the inmates being well
treated and in the institutions being
we'll managed. The institutions were
never in the history of the state Of
ficered by Il better class of superin-
tendents. Every one of them was
chosen because of special fitness
Every one of them has established a
record for honesty. economy and eff
cheney. Those who have had occasion
to visit the institutions are profuse in
IhC4i pIdiSe VI LHe Officers III Charge.
1t means great deal to the state
whether the state institutions are we'll
managed. An increase of per cent
per capita per day to the average
mind would appear too trivial to take
notice of, and yet an increase of l
per cent per capita means a daily loss
to the state of $32. One cent a, day in
crease at the Hastings asylum means
loss to the state of So per day.
There are over 5000 inmates in the
various institutions of the state. n
increase of cents per capita per day
would mean loss to the state of over
$58,000 in a year.
1t was by watching these seeming
trifiing things that the Republicans
made large saving.

A Remarkable Spectacle,

If the fusionists overlooked any,
thing during the Poynter administra-
tion it was because it was invisible
to eyes that were keen and beyond
reach Of appetites that were raven
Gus.
In one of the congressional districts
one of their number was elected to
congress. He celebrated the event by
moving his family into a state insti-
tuition that happened to be located
in his district. When he went to
Washington his family remained at
the institution and was kept at the
states expense during his term. When
he returned from congress, he made
his home at the institution with his
family. Finally sickness overlook him
and the very remarkable spectacle
was presented of a member of con-
gress being buried from a state insti-
tuition. This story is recited merely
to illustrate to what extent the fusion
lists while they were in power foraged
on the taxpayers.

Diet of Plug Tobacco for Infants.

The bill OIL fare at the Home of the
Friendless during the last fusion ad-
ministration must have been one dis
tinguished principally for variety.
The population of that institution
consists OF homeless children, but dur
ing the fusion administration bills
were rendered for whole boxes of plug
tobacco and wagon loads of oats. Oats
and tobacco is a rather strange diet
for little children, but then that ad-
ministration is noted for all sorts of
innovations. At Beatrice it bought
harnesses for the inmates and at the
Soldiers Home at Milford, where the
inmates were at that time all males, it
bought ribbons, laces and fancy under
wear, devised, adopted and designed
for the opposite sex.
