Corn in Nebraska continues to boom
right along in spite of the political flurries
and the Burlington report shows that there
will be a yield of 30 per cent Of a normal
crop on the McCook division. or about
twenty-five bushels to the acre. On the
Wymore division there will be a yield OF
70 per cent of the normal crop, or about
thlrty-one bushels to the acre. while on the
Lincoln division, where most of the corn
Of Nebraska is grown. there will be 104 pei
cent of an average crop, or forty-ont
bushels to the acre.
Fall plswing has progressed most rapidly
especially on portions OF the McCook dt.

OMAHA, Sept Ito the Editor OF The
Bee: We read in democratic papers Of
many republicans and those who labor
who intend to vote for Mr.. Bryan and the
democratic ticket.
II our people will stop and think, 1 do
not believe a single republican and but
few who labor with hands or brain. will
vote the democratic Ticket; only fanatics
will favor that party. Mr.. Bryan stumped
his district for free trade when first elected
to congress, and now is advocating that
lumber, logs and pulp be placed on the
free list, also all articles controlled by a
trust, and under Mr.. organs definition
Of u trust, these would include tobacco,
cigars, sugar. cotton and, cotton goods and
lumber. BY taking OFF the protective tariff
from these items many 0of our mills and
factories would close, as they could not
compete with foreign labor. earning from
10 to So cents per day. and our people would
soon be reduced to want, misery, suffering
and hunger, the safne as during 1888 and
1894 when the democratic party repealed
our protective tariff laws, which closed
down all our mills and factories, throwinE
hundreds of thousands out OF employment
and reducing many In a short time to want,
misery, hunger and even starvation.
WIN NV pNOpiC ohppOAA . party ina Qe-
sires to destroy them? Mr.. Bryan in his
speech at Indianapolis spoke on the tariff
and especially mentioned the trusts, which
the protective tariff protected. He stated
that a trust is somebody producing Is per
cent of a certain article and that l per
cent or probably one-halt Of / per cent
composed the trusts. Even II the tariff
protects a few hundred that compose the
trusts. 1t protects millions who labor with
hands and brain and does the most good
to the greater number, and in fact is a
benefit to all our people, as 1t is the main
factor in keeping our Industries running
and the people employed.
Mr.. Bryan has not shown the people
wherein they will receive any benefit II
our protective laws are repealed, and that
protection enabled this country to become
the greatest manufacturing center in the
world, employing millions, but these great
Institutions must be protected against the
world where the wages are much less
than in this country. II the mills and
factories can be kept running, our people
will be employed at good wages and all
the people will share with those VIII labor.
II our people are not employed, they can
not purchase the neeessaries of life and
the merchants and farmers suffer with
those who labor, as their patronage has
disappeared.
1t is not necessary to injure any in
dividual because he is a democrat, but II
is necessary TO vote against the demo
cratic party to show them that they can
not again bring ruin and poverty to the
people by destroying their earning power.
Convince the democratic party by YOU
vote against them that the people rule, as
they can not rule unless employed. The
majority Of the people Is supreme when
given employment and the protective tariff
is the father OF labor. II. A. JEwETT.
