A new era in the development OF

properly while the land continues
to be held in large bodies, devoted
solely to ranch purposes seven

il up TO settlement by small farm

build up Brownsville and the sur
rounding country Is actual settlers,
who will till the soil and make it
produce marketable products. Ore

forth comfortable income and put

Where It discounts the old rule OF
one cow 70 seven acres. This Is
what The Brownsville Land and
Town company proposes to do
divide .lle:r land into small Dlats
and Sc lie SAME 20 actual settlers.
1t is understood that it is the COM
pany's intention to sell alternate
tracts at low figures to any who
will agree to improve the same,
realizing that the mere fact of hay
ing settlers to build homes and
cultivate the tracts thus sold, the
adjoining land will naturally be
greatly enhanced i'll value. The
general manager of the concern,
Mr.. a. d. Childress, is going
about the undertaking III a most
business-like way, and, under his
intelligent direction, it is sure to
be an immediate and assured sue
cess. He has taken the first step
necessary to insure such a result by
investing literally in printer 5 ink.
The sooner that other land OWNERS
III this section follow the example
of the new company and put their
lands on the market in a similar
manner, the sooner they will &C
eummulate a bank account, and
the sooner the town and country
will develop.

THE NEBRASKA PLATFORM.

II VIM. j. Bryan is the author OF
the platform adopted by the Nebras-
ka State Democratic convention, as
he is reported to be. il is sale to say
that he will not be permitted to take
q hand 10 drafting the platform to
be adopted at st. Louis. The decla'
ration Is couched in Mr.. Bryan :
strong, expressive style, and some
portions OF it prOmulgate good Dem
ocratie doctrine. Strange to say, 1t
does not, except indirectly, by real
firmation Of the Kansas City plat
form, referto free silver, but mirablle
dictu, he looks back To the days OF
green back agitation, or something
similar, and demands that volume
OF money be secured to the people
sufficient TO keep pace with the de-
mand for money" and for this pur-
pose paper money should be issued
by the Government without the in
teryention OF National banks The
Democratic party is never going to
advocate any such doctrine, but 1t is
q reel relief to see that Mr.. Bryan
has abandoned his free silver propa-
ganda, even il be does hatch up some
other discredited and dead issue 10
load on the shoulders OF a long-suf-
iering party. Mr.. Bryan is also mis-
taken in his conception OF present
Democratic attitude on the tarlh.
Note the tariff for revenue only
plank in his platform: democracy
would restore the tariff to revenue
basis and administer it for revenue
only, thus demolishing the legal bul-
warks behind which the predatory
trusts have found refuge. Protection
for projections sake is an ingenious
device for the exploitation. OF the
masses by the privileged classes; 1t
has brought great injustice to the
consumers and has been the fruitful
source of widespread political cor
ruption." This declaration is in
striking contrast with the position
of the party as announced by Mr..
Williams on the floor of the House OF
Representatives, and as endorsed by
the great majority OF the party at
the present time. 1t is sale to say
that the st. Louis platform will de-
clare for tariff revision on reciprocal
lines, and not for free trade or tariff
for revenue only.
