tries have been furnishing, however,
for the last eight months hasn t
helped the farmer any, and it never
did.
Another indictment against pro-
lection from the farmers stand
point is that it deranges labor con-
ditlons. There is not a sufficiency
of good agricultural help, owing to
the fact that protection has tempted
men away from the country to town
into the doubtful conditions of fac.
tory and shop and mill employment
until they are no good for farming
and don't get enough work i'll the
cities to keep them steady good
buyers. Bryan stands for that re-
adjustment of industrial conditions
which will make the farmer and
the worker equal with the favored
manufacturer. He stands for effec-
tive action against trusts and COM
bines from which the farmers now
suffer. This is why it is worth
money to the farmers to see Bryan
elected. -L0fk Ha7en Democrat

BRYAN NOTIFIED.
Ne States the Issues Clearly in His Speech
OF Acceptance.

On the state capitol grounds at
Lincoln, Nebraska, William Jen-
nings Bryan was formally notified
on Wednesday of his nomination as
the Democratic candidate for the
Presidency.
1t was largely Nebraska crowd,
because of the fact that the railroads
had refused to extend to Lincoln
the same courtesy that was extend
cd to Cincinnati and give reduced
rates. There we're deleg ations from
Iowa, Kansas and other nearby
States, and Omaha alone sent 5000
people. Nevertheless the ruling of
the railroads operated effectively 10
keep down the representation from
Eastern States. There were from
$4,000 to $4,000 outsiders i'll Lin
coin, but if the railroads had been
willing to extend the Cincinnati
courtesy to Lincoln there would
nave been double that number.
The Nebraskans are bitter over it
and in every hotel in town there
were predictions of new votes made
for Bryan and KEN by the affair.
The exercises were opened by
National Chairman Norman T..
Mack who called upon Rev. Father
Nugent of Des Mones to offer
prayer. The speech of notification
was made by Mr.. Clayton, chair
man of the committee. An outline
of Mr.. Bryan's speech is given in
our news columns.

The President and the Cadets.

There is law which says:
Any cadet found guilty of partic.
ipating in or encouraging or coun
tenancing such practice haziug
shall be summarily expelled.
Eight students were found guilty
of hazing and their expulsion was
recommended by a board of officers
headed by the West Point com.
mandant of cadets. This action
was unanimous. The board having
found the facts had no option but
to obey the law.
Not so the President. He first
approved the recommendation of
the board-which was improper,
that being the duty of the Secreta-
ry of War. Secretary Wright did
not, as he says, ''promulgate the
order;;" but at the Presidents "own
request I held the matter open un-
til I could come tere [Oyster Bay]
and confer with him." The con-
ference resulted in an order that
the young men should go back to
West Point.
The incident is Rooseveltian. In
the haste of his first impulse the
President dismisses the young men,
which is not his work. Then he
requests the secretary to hold
open" a matter that he has himself
illegally decided. Then he illegal
ly reinstates the cadets, subject to
such discipline as the West Point
authorities may think fit. What
they think fit has nothing to 90
with the question. If they obey
the law they must again recon-
mend the dismissal of the hazers.
If they obey the President they
must disobey Congress.
There are some disadvantages in
living under a rule of meddlesome
personal caprice instead of Gov
ernment by Law.-NeW York Woyla

(Second Term
PARRY GREASY,
Of Blooms Durg.
(Second Term.)
HERE is WHY.

Why should the farmer give
Bryan the money he asks for cam
paign purposes 7 is the angry query
of a protectionist contemporary
which sees no harm in holding up
the whole country to keep the en-
terprises of certain contributors to
its own party campaign funds rum
ming when they are not too tired or
too scared. The farmer has to buy
all he requires in a market where
prices are artihcially high. He
must sell his surplus in a market
fixed by worldwide natural condi-
tions. The farmer is at the mercy
of the transportation companies,
and the beef trust fixes the price OF
his cattle. The elevator companies
fix the rates of his grain, and these
are in sympathy not with him but
with the gambling interests on
Wall street, which precipitated the
late panic.
Our contemporary essays to palm
off that smooth worn old counter
felt of protectionist argument that
the Republican tariff policy gives
farmers a higher priced market
right at home than he would have
otherwise. The market of this sort

Confident of Big Gains.
The Democratic Party is Thoroughly Aroused
In Pennsylvania.

A dispatch from Harrisburg says:
Secretary Meek, of the Democratic
state committee, has been busily
engaged the past two days at head
quarters arranging the campaign
preliminaries, with view to secur.
ing a large party vote this year.
Especial attention will be paid to
the registration of voters, so that
there will be none disfranchised
through non-registration on election
day. 1t is expected that the active
campaign will begin about Septem-
Der /, and it will be prosecuted in
every county IN the s,ate.
We are going to elect more con-
gressmen, senator's and assembly,
men this year than for a number of
years back" said Meek, land to
make gains which are certain to
come, because all conditions are
favorable. We are going into every
county. The Democratic party is
thoroughly aroused, and it will
show vigor this year that will oc.
casion the Republicans some sur-
prise. We can give Bryan bigger
vote than any Democratic candidate
for he presidency has received in
years, ard i'll doing so we can show
that the Pennsylvania Democrats
are very much alive. 4 look for
decided gains in the vote in the
larger cities, especially in Phila-
delphia, Pi,tshurg, Reading, Scran-
ton, York and others. There is
much interest felt even now all over
the state, and the character of our
correspondence indicates that the
workers are going 20 get busy this
year.

Republican campaign managers
are scared over the situation in Ohio,
and we'll they may be. Even the
New York Snn, which sent trust
ed correspondent into the state to
look over the field carefully and re
port actual conditions. comedies
there is strong possibility of Har-
mons election as governor. Ac-
cording to this correspondent,
Harmon may pull Bryan through.
The SIN ignores, perhaps intention
ally, the factional disturbances in
the Republican party in Ohio. and
the fact that score or more of in
fluential party newspapers have
openly bolted a part of the state
ticket. 1t should not be forgotten,
too, that the Democrats elected a
part of the electoral ticket in 1896,
and that the party hasn't Hanna
to do the fine Italian work this
year.

BY coincidence Mr.. Hearst arriv.

years campaign will be a record
breaker in point of interest, and he
declares that Bryan has better
chance to win than ever before.
II shall certainly speak wherever
and whenever l can," said MIR.
Parker. Every Democrat in the
land will do his best to promote
party success this year, and every
Democrat should work for it,

tariff is the principal issue. That
is the orthodox doctrine, and DEM
ocrats are united and orthodox
Tariff reform will mean Trust re-
form. That is as certain as that

tariff reform great many puzzling
questions will be solved without
