ANOTHER OBJECT LESION
On The Highway Robbery OF The
American People.

At las, the democrats of the House
have "hushed the covey" and have
the Republicans on the run. The
speech OF Representative Rainey, of
Illinois, in the House not long ago
has been the fire that has smoked
them out. His speech was an
object lesson. not only TO the people
OF the entire country, but to lots of
Republicans on the floor of The
House who were totally ignorant of
the facts he produced with such
telling effect. lie proved absolutely
and to the entire satisfaction of
every man VINO is unbiased, that the
watch trust of the country is selling
watches to the foreigners cheaper
than they are at home TO American
cosumers. He produced the facts to
The effect that man in New York
City went 10 London and bought
American watches there, brought
them back to this country and sold
them cheaper than the trust prices
here and made money on them,
because there is no duty on Ameri-
can goods shipped back into this
country after being sold abroad.
Ii that doesn't show up the fact that
the present tariff is palpable rob-
berry OF the American consumer for
the benefit of American trusts, and
that the tariff is the mother of the
trusts, then what the devil does il
show? Some of the Republican
big guns in the House OF Represent
atives have made an attempt to
answer Mr. RaineY, but they have
floundered and fallen back into the
pit dug by there own bad logic.
One of them actually admitted that
these watch companies did sell
watches cheaper IN the foreign
countries than they did in this
country, and attempted to Justify 1t
by saying that they were compelled
to do it in order to keep their fact
ories going and keep labor at work.
The truth of the business is that
since the Dingley tariff was enacted
there are seventeen less watch fac
tories at work in this country than
before, all put out of business by
the trust, and that the trust now en-
ploYs more female and child labor,
therefore cheaper, than it had before
in the history of the watch business
in this country. This is only one
illustration of the workings of tae
Dingley tariff in the interests of the
trusts. There are hundreds of other
instances and the Democrats will
show them up as fast as they can
get to them. 1t is going to make
the tariff one Of the paramount issues
of the coming Congressional cam
paign. The issue will be squarely
made. If the people of the country
want to continue to be robbed for
the benefit of foreigners, then let
them continue to vote the Republi-
can ticket. II not they will vote
the Democratic ticket and put a
stop to it.

A UNITED DEMOCRACY.

The chairman of the Democratic
convention of Kansas in his address
to the delegates sounded a key note
that will have interest IN Massachu-
setts and shows that a united De-
mocracy from the East to the West
and North and South is again to be
an accomplished fact. J'The people
OF Kansas" said he, "send this slo-
gan across the Mississippi valley and
over the Appalachian mountains to
New England. We are for free raw
material, and we are willing to give
to the laborer of the east free hides
in competition with our hides, be-
cause the beef trust robs US even Of
the hair, and then sells the balance
TO the eastern manufacturer at a
higher and fixed price, so that the
poor are shoeless. Our Republican
congressman have misrepresented
us long enough. We are in favor
of the old fashioned doctrine as en-
unciated by Samuel J. Tilden and
re-enunciated by Grover Cleveland
of a tariff for revenue only. The
time is past when we should protect
trusts and capitalistic combinations.
Protection, as declared by the Re-
publican party, is now used as an
aid to the rich to become richer and
for the poor to become poorer.
Harrah for the unterrifed Democra
cY of Kansas.

MORE FOR COUNTYS COAL
Price This Year for Fuel H. Con-
siderabIy Higher Than
Last winter.

II will cost the county considerably more
this year for its coal than it did last year,
according to the bids submitted to the
board by coal dealers and just tabulated
by County Auditor Smith. There is a sub
stantial Increase in the prices in all but
two items, and the reduction in one OF
these items is so great as to cause a sus-
picion that IL is due to a clerical error.
There were a large number Of bids offered.
The low bids, compared with the contract
price last year. follow:
Coal for INDECENT Poor, Delivered-Chero-
kee nut. in 5OO-pound lots. Omaha, Coal
Hay and Building Supplies company, sl.1S
per 500 pounds; last year, HO6 Lump
coal. 500 pound lots, Victor White Coal
company, $3.50: last year. $3.50 In 1000
pound lots, Cherokee nut c. b. Havens
company. 500; last year. S2O5. Lump coal,
1.oOO-pound lots, c. b. Havens company.
10; last year. $3.50.
County Hospital-Cherokee nut In car
load lots, per ton. Sunderland Bros, t2s4
per tom last year, SIS. Cherokee steam
coal. car lots c. W. Hull company, $3.50,
which is the same last year
Court House and Jail--Cherokee nut. in
wagon lots, c. B. Havens company, sass;
last year, 1850. Cherokee steam coal, Suth-
eriand Bros, $3.50
Detention Home-Anthracite egg, per ton,
Omaha Coal, Hay and Building Supplies
company, s9.45 a ton; last year, $3.50 and
1925, according to quantity.
1t is the first item under court house and
Jail in which a reduction from $3.50 last
year to t2S5 this year leaves suspicion
that a clerical error has been made. The
board will pass on the bids at its next
meeting.

To Correct False Reports.

The report being circulated that Hayden
Bros. are using the depositors' money in
their business is absolutely untrue.
The deposits in Hayden Bros. bank are
loaned on the best and most available Sc
curity for the safety of the deposits.
Not only that. but Hayden Bros. bank has
more solid wealth and cash resource for
its liabilities than any other bank we
know OF. either in this state or elsewhere.
There is no mortgage or incumbrance of
any kind on Hayden Bros. property; IT is
all clear to strengthen and support the
bank assets in case of panic or adverse
conditions of any kind 1t might be well
to think Of these facts when making your
savings deposits.
Hayden Bros. bank will pay per cent

Regular Tariffs.

The Union Pacific has made no further
cut in the grain rates from interior points
to Omaha, waiting for the published state
ment Of the Burlington which gives the
new rates on that road. For some reason
no copy of that tariff has arrived in
Omaha. the announcement being made by
General Freight Agent Spens, who was In
Chicago when the decision was made to re-
duce the rates. The reduction went into
effect Tuesday and other roads are COM
planning because they can get no copy Of
the tariff A meeting OF freight officials
is being held in Kansas City at present to
consider rates in general and this matter
probably will come up for consideration.
While no announcement has been made
1t is understood the Missouri Pacific will
have to readjust its grain rates in some
manner, as that road can get no elevators
to handle the grain for the h-cent per hun
dred allowance which Il makes. This al
lowance is said TO be given by the trans
portation department for the immediate
service and 20 get the cars back, but 1t
has complicated matters and something will
have to be done.

Great Influx Of settlers.


The west has never seen such an in
fux of settlers as I'm the present year and
vast areas are being taken by legitimate
farmers who are anxious for a home where
they may till the soil and get good re-
turns. The increase in settlement in the
counties of Thomas. Hooker Grant and
Blaine and the south part OF Cherry Is
shown by the report of the Broken Bow
land Office for the three months ended
June 80. This report shows that 55 per
cent more business was done in that Of
fee in April, May and June of this year
than in the same months last year. The
entire west is feeling the effect of the vast
railroad building which is now being dono
and which Is contemplated, and the time
is not far distant when a cheap farm in
the west is a thing OF the past.
Travel was never heavier in all direc-
lions in the west than at present, and
without anything special to attract them
tourists are moving in every direction,
filling all trains. All this in addition to the
heavy movement of Elks to Denver, which
will start this week, and the influx of Bap-
lists to Omaha during the week, the large
movement of which will start Wednesday

Lincoln is Excited.

Lincoln is all stirred up over a report
that the party of surveyors which left
Lincoln working for the Rock Island had
been met at a place not far west Of Fair
field by another party working from the
west. thus completing a preliminary survey
on some line. IT is also stated another
party has followed the first setting stakes
after resurveyinE. The Lincoln Journal
has figured out the new line will leave the
main line of the Rock Island southwest Of
the penitentary near Lincoln, run south
west near Denton, through Crete, south Of
the Burlington main line through Saline
county, west to Geneva and on a straight
line from Geneva to Fairfield.
vt is also believed in some sources that
1t lie really the Rock Island which has been
acquiring valuable terminals Of the Colo
RADIO & Eastern at Denver with the en-
trance to that city.
This is believed to be a move TO get a
line to Denver so the Rock Island can
share the business OF the new Moffstt line
when that is completed.
