Violence was feared yesterday by
the officials Of the Swift Packing plant
as a result of the constantly more
stringent and threatening tactics that
ere being used by the strikers. AS a
result yesterday afternoon there was
a conference in the governors office to
canvass the necessity for calling out
state troops. Governor Van SAINT was

a reply to which was requested by

The Great Prosperity Under Republican
Rule.

The democrats still cling to
the theory of free trade in the
face of the preponderence of evil
dence against it in the past forty
years. Judge Parker practically
acknowledges the danger of
tampering with it by assuring the
public that the republican tariff
law could not be changed during
his administration even should
he be elected, but yet he implies
in his speech in reply to his noti-
tication that the democratic party
is still in favor of tariff for reve-
nue. only.
In 1860 when the republican
party came into power
1t placed on the statute books
its first protective tariff law.
Then we were exporting about
ten million dollars worth of
forest products. We are now ex-
porting six times that amount
annually.
We were then exporting less
than one million dollars worth of
the products of the mines. We
are now sending abroad annually
over forty million dollars worth.
The Dingely law went into
effect July "a, 1897, after Nc
kinleys inauguration, is still on
the statute books. Under it has
come prosperity to all classes,
never before attained in the his
tory of the country.
The money in circulation has
increased from /, 500 million dol
lars in 1896, the year of McKin-
legs election to 2,503 millions on
March 4, 1904. The per capita
circulation from $21.41 in 1896 to
S3O.75 on march l, 1904. The

The total tax levy on Broken
Bow this year is 66 mills instead
of 81 mills last year. The same
ratio of reduction maintains
throughout the county as a re-
suit of the new revenue law.
Yet our friendly contemporary
across the street persists that our
taxes will be higher under the
new revenue law than under the
old law.

bank clearings from 81 billion
dollars in 1896 to ia billion dol
lars in 1908, having more than
doubled. Total bank deposits
have increased in that time from
4,9l6 millions to 9,673 millions.
The production of coal, pig iron
and steel have increased at prac-
tically the same ratio.
The exports of agricultural
products have grown from $40
million dollars iii 1896 to S73
millions in 1908. Exports of
manufactured products have in
creased in that time from 22S
million dollars to 407 millions,
while manufactures raw material
which formed but 261a per cent
of the imports in 1896, formed 80
per cent in 1908. AS result of
these improved conditions came
increased wages, increased i'm
ployment and increased accumu-
lations. The money in the saw
ing banks of Employees increased
from 1907 million dollars in 1896
to 1885 millions in 1908 and the
number of depositors from $685.
900 in 1896 to 1905, 900 in 1908.
Railroads passed out of the
hands of the receivers, milage of
railroads has increased.
With this great activity and
prosperity has come an increase
in national wealth from II bill
lions in 1895 to 100 billions at the
present time, placing the United
States at the head of the list of
the worlds nations and with a
national wealth actually so per
cent greater than that of the
United Kingdom and as great as
France and Germany combined.
With such stupendous facts in
favor of protective tariff and
republican policies it is not
strange that both the democratic
aud populist parties are dying
for lack of followers. Every
branch of industry has been made
to prosper as never before and
the interest bearing debt of the
nation has gradually decreased
Notwithstanding the great ex-
pense of the Spanish-American
War in that period. The debt
of l,046 million dollars in 1899
has been reduced to S95 millions
in 1904. And the per capita in
debtedness has been decreased
since 1899 from SIS to ST. at the
present time.

In the West, at least, the drift
is all in the republican direction.
Parker has no personal following
outside of few Eastern States,
and the chances are that he will
carry none of those. He lacks
the vigor and personal popularity
of Roosevelt. Even though
Parker's friends pretended that
his nomination would insure a
big campaign fund to the Demo-
Gratis, there is no good reason to
suppose that the solid business
interests of New York will go to
him. He may or may not be
better than his party, but it is
certain that his triumph would
put his party in power, and that
circumstances is calculated to
keep him from carrying New
York this year. The swing of
Democratic newspapers in the
west over to the Republican side
is an evidence that the Mississip-
pi valley and the Pacific slope

The opposition will have a
difficult task to convince the tax
payers this fall that when his
property is assessed 5 per cent
lower than it was under the old
law and the county and state
levy is six mills less, that his
taxes will be higher than former
ly. The only case where any
one will pay more taxes is where
he turned in more property than
formerly. We apprehend that
many did this. AS a matter Of
fact most people in Custer county
are prosperous and have been
able to add to their belongings
in the past year. There are
other cases were men give in
more property to the assessor be-
leiving that others would pay
their proportionate share and for
that reason they were willing to
pay theirs accordingly. The
provisions of the new law are so
strict that it compelled number

The new revenue law is grow
ing i'll popularity with the peo-
pie as they become more familiar
with it. One of the principle
features of it that meets the gem
eral approval of the taxpayers is
that the large moneyed interests
are repaired to pay an equal
share of taxes with the farmer.
There are many instances of
record where those worth their
tens of thousands have in former
years been assessed for 1000,
80, 900 or So, 900 are this year as
sessed at their actual cash value.
Another feature of the law that
has helped to equalize taxes is
the provision providing for the
state board to equalize the valua-
ton of counties. With an
amendment giving the equaliza-
ton board even greater powers
would doubtless be an improve
ment. Another amendment pro-
viding for the election of deputy
assessors will doubtless be made
this winter if a republican legis-
lature is elected. But the main
features of the law have proven
an improvement on the old law
and should be allowed to stand.

all offenders will be put out of the
