PROSPERITY 70 RTHE FARMERS
COngressman Pollard Presents n Few
Figures on prevailing Con-
ditions in the state.

PLATTsMoUTH. Neb.. Get, 3l.-(specia'
Telegram. 1.-The Parmele theater In TINS
city was crowded this evening. the occasion
being the only big republican rally held IN
this city during the present campaign
which was ably addressed by Senator Bur
kett, ConErss sman Pollard ard others. Much
enthusiasm prevailed and the speakers were
frequently and heartily applauded.
Mr.. Pollard said, in part:
From the statistic rod we have seen
that while the m nufactu er has pr hted
as we'll as the men ..suseG in various en-
teTprises. yet the prosperity that has come
to them has not equaled by large per cent
that which has come to the farmers OF the
country l have also been interested to
know how the prices OF farm products have
compared with the increase of production
have figures along this line beginn n
especially, because 1t was the first year that
l put in a crop myself. Up until that year
year. OF course | had been home in the
summer and helped on the farm, but that
was the first year that l put IN crop in
vested in the fall. That was the year OF
the great drouth. The price of corn at the
elevator at Nehawka averaged about 80
cents per bushel throughout the year. some
farmers paid as high as 60 cents bushel
for corn to finish feeding their cattle. The
very next year we produced one Of the big
gest corn crops In our history. What was
the effect on prices OF this tremendous yield
Of corn? | find that the average price of
corn in Chicago for thai year about half
OF what 1t was the previous year. That
was the effect of one big corn crop during
the democratic timeE. We had a larger crop
again the next year and the price went
still lower Since the republicans took con-
troll the price of corn has been gradually
going up in spite of the fact that the pro-
duction of corn has increased wonderfully.
The reason why the increased production of
the last few years has not decreased the
prices as II did in democratic times is the
fact that the people engaged in other lines
the wealth produced every year we con-
sumo over seventeen times as much as we
ship to other countries With protection
to all classes we are all being benefited and
are able to buy each others products. The
republican party stands for reform In tariff
schedules whenever needed. but IL insists
that the protective principle must be re-
tanned
He also said that he believed that the
people OF Cass county believed implicitly in
the honest" and the integrity and In the
ability OF her favored sen. Hoc. George L.
Sheldon. He told his auditors that the
only way they could support the president
and Mr.. Sheldon was to elect a republican
legislature, which in turn would elect Hon.
Norris Brown to the United States senate

"Of course under the circumstances the
