Justified by Business.

No matter how disconcerting
the Republican attitude may be
to the party of Free-Trade or
Tariff for revenue only" which
amounts to Free-Trade, it is the
attitude justified by every line
Of business. Without exception
every branch of industry is
tlourishing as it never flourished
in the worlds history. To
interrupt these ideal conditions
by tinkering with the Tariff, for
which there is only a fictitious
demand, might not be suicidal
to the business of the country,
but it would mean absolute
decentralization and stagnatiou
for fully twelve months.
No merchant wants that. He
wants no uncertainty about buy
ing goods. No manufactures
wants the like uncertainty among
his customers, with the necessity
of closing. down his factory while
the clearing house process drags
onits long and damaging way.
No mechanic or laborer wants it,
for it means idleness and wage
reductions. And all for what?
To satisfy the whims of a few
academic theorists.

1t is only by continual public
ity that the many advantages
of Nebraska can be made known
to the outside world and inves-
tors brought here to help in the
development of this great state.
One way to do this is to send the
local papers to relatives, friends
and acquaintance in the east,
provided your business firms are
we'll represented in the advertis-
ing columns. There isn't pap
err in the state that does not
boost for Nebraska, every week,
even though in some of the
towns the business men are very
niggardly in advertising and
nothing indicates prosperous
and wideawake community more
than liberal amount of adver-
Using in the local paper.

The "Rice Association Of Arnerica" !"
has taken an attitude which will,
without doubt, surprise the Board Of
Trade.
The rice growers at a meeting held
on the cath of March at Crowley
Louisiana, decided to favor the imp
osition of duty on coffee, according
this Preferential treatment TO PortoricSn
csffrt in return for tie rice business.
The details are given in full in the
issue of "The New Orleans Item" of
the above date.
The triumph of the Ponce section
OF the Chamber of Commerce begins
already to be seen, and the results
of the patriotic campaign inaugurated
by the merchants of the city of the
South are in a measure a compensat-
ion for the Indifference with which
it's efforts have been treated by some
economic organisms, from whom such
conduct was not be expected.
For the Board of Trade, over and
above all other organizations, the
resolution adopted at the meeting at
Crowley is scathing arraignment.
After reading the resolutions adopt
ed by the rice growers, the spirit OF
false discretion manifested by the
Board of Trade in it's inexcusable
discourtesy to the Ponce Chamber OF
Commerce, becomes more glaring
and for which no sort of excuse can
be offered.
On the contrary, what has hap
pened confirms a suspicion which We
have had from the first and which we
have expressed with frank loyalty.
The Board of Trade dares do moth
ing that is contrary TO the wishes OF
| the congregantes, and as a conse-
quence, it is an institution useless in
carrying out the purposes for which
It was organized.
Events have confirmed that which
was general belief.
No one can longer doubt that the
Board of Trade not only vacillates in
the defence of interests which it pre-
tends to represent, but also that il
IS grossly ignorant of the meaning
of real americanism to such a degree
that It maintained sepulchral silen-
