The party that does not pay atten-
tion to the needs and requirements of
the farmers in the affairs of the ma.
tion is the party that cannot win. The
in the commercial and political well
fare of the country and the republican
party will continue to insist that his
right be preserved. The democrats
desire reduction of the tariff, but in
the interest of the farmers the repub-
liCans insist that 1t should be main
tanned. When the farmers are pros
porous the balance of the people of
the country are prosperous, and to
have the farmers prosperous it is
necessary that his products should not
be brought into conception with for
the tariff. Likewise is IL essential
that that producers should have a
strong home market and to bring this
about ii is necessary that the manu-
lecturers who turn their products into
marketable merchandise to receive the
same protection from foreign compe-
tition. City laborers sometimes i'm.
agine that they would be better of If
they could obtain the products OF the
farmers more cheaply and many of
them would aid the democrats in max
ing products of farmers and manufac-
turers cheap, not realizing that when
these are cheapened, wages are GER
tain TO come down as the employers
of labor certainly cannot afford to pay
high wages when they are to depend
on those whose income is reduced
thereby for their market. The gener-
al prosperity of the country is there
fore dependent upon the farmer, and
If he Is prosperous there cannot help
but be prosperity for others, though
all may not be able to secure the same
degree of prosperity. There are now
in the country 3,l49,344 farmers who

farmers who are now receiving dol.
lar for their wheat and good prices tor
their other products are making a

agree for a moment to the reduction
of tariff that may alter this condition

to support its position on this vital
and interesting subject.

THE RENENIE LAW.

There is no question about the par
amount issue in Nebraska this fall
IL is the revenue law. The fusion par
~ leaders are positively and vigorous
ly condemning the measure and scor-
ing the republicans for passing It,
The republicans are defending the ac-
tion of the late legislature and urging
the voters to study the situation for
themselves, knowing that reasonable
thinking persons will not charge to
the law all of the iniQuities alleged
against it by the fusionists. In sup
port of the republican contention
there are the opinions of many fusion
lists given before the fusion parties had
decided to make the law campaign
issue At that time the law was all
that was good and before it's passage
the fusion governors had urged the
need of just such law to eQualize
taxation, to meet the current expenses
of the state and to relieve the state
from an Indebtedness that had been
accommodating for number of years.
In Madison county the fusionists
have gone to the trouble of looking up
the taxes of numerous property own
ers and comparing the statements thus
gained with their taxation last year
and charging all the increase to the
rirnnlnrS h,
statements, urging the property owner
to vote the fusion state ticket, promis-
ing to repeal the law If they are elect
ed, They feel certain of the support
of the two parties and hope in this
manner to gain enough republican
votes to elect their ticket. This law
is what all the people of the state have
been clamoriug for through number
of campaigns and now that II is effect.
ed the fusionists hope to create the
dissatisfaction that will result in its
repeal and at the same time give their
hungry ofiiceseekers soft berths for
the next two years.
1t has been shown before, but the
fact is repeated and emphasized that
large share of this increased taxa.
ton charged up against the revenue
law by the fusionists, is really charge
able to local conditions. The county,
city and school board seem to have
fixed upon this year as an acceptable
time TO relieve themselves of debts,
and at the same time the taxpayer
will he compelled to pay a share to
reduce the state Indebtedness. Madi.

will be wiped from the slate after the
taxes for this year have been paid.

ness and even the cities and towns
have helped make the burden of the
taxpayer heavy. But next year there
will be a reduction. Taxes will be no
heavier next year than they were lest
year-if as heavy. The new law has
uncovered property that never paid
taxes before and has equaized all
taxes.
This years increase is not borne by
any one person, but the railroads, cor

not agree worth cent. While the
