FUSION FOR BRYAN.
Scheme to PurIoin Votes of POpuIists
in Nebraska.
Portland O%regonian.

Portland Oregonian.
In Nebraska an effort is being made to
have the democratic candidates for electors
at large Endorsed on the ticket as peoples
Independent, In addition to their designa-
tion as democratic. This is manifestly a
scheme to steal the votes that belong to the
peoples party and the independence league.
Yet Mr.. Bryan does not stand for the prin-
ciples particularly advocated by these
other political organizations. Does not a
move of this kind come with poor grace
from a man who has accused the republican
candidates with stealing democratic prin-
cipIes? II Mr.. Bryan wants the support Of
the independence league people, why did
he not incorporate in his platform the prin-
ciples which would naturally draw them to
his support II he had done so, Mr..
Hearst could not have charged him with
being a chameleon. As it is. he has no
right to expect or ask for the votes of any
except those who believe in the doctrines
set forth in the democratic platform and
who believe that he is the best man TO ad-
minister the executive affairs OF the ma
ton. There should be no underhsnded
scheme for getting the votes Of those not
advocating democratic principles.
Fusion efforts are a confession of weak
ness ana an acknowledgment OF the ehoit-
cominEs OF the democratic platform. II
Mr., Bryan Is entitled to election at all, he
should receive II as a democrat. II a plur-
atty Of the people Of the United States are
not democrats, Mr.. Bryan has no right "a
occupy the White House. Party principles
have been carefully considered and pub
HcIy declared. Candidates have beer
named and their records and qualifica-
ions are known. Let the lines be drawn
clearly. so that when the votes are counted
we shall know exactly for what the people
OF the country nave voted. II this be q
contest Of either men OF Of principles. OF
OF both. the republican party has nothing
to be ashamed OF. nothing TO make excuse
for ana nothing 10 fear. The republican
party has sdopted the principles which ar'
best calculated 20 promote the welfare OF
the country. II has nominated the mar
best qualified by native talents, by tenn
permanent and by training for the highes

issue are but schemes OF the weak and un.

THE IMPROVED STEEL TRADE.

That the country is fairly well on
the road to Industrial recovery is es-
tablished by the report of the Amer
lean Steel corporation, Just made pub
lie, for the three months ending with
June 80. Steel is generally recognized
as the Industrial barometer, being the
real index of activity in railway, build
ing and other industrial lines. The
report shows that while there was a
marked falling of in the steel business
beginning with last October, the rev
nues were still sufficient to meet the
fixed dividend payments and leave a
fair margin of surplus. The net earn
ings for the months of April, May and
June, in spite of the general depres-
sion, were full 81 900 larger than
expected and about 50, 900, 900 greater
than for the first quarter of the pres
emit year. The company's net earnings
for the three months ending with
June were S2O,265,756, rs compared
with S1S,229,0O5 for the nrst quarter
of the year, and with $32,553, Ss5 for
April, May and June Of last year. Or
ders now booked call for operation of
all its plants at ~ per cent of their
working capacity, or but little below
the condition of normal business years,
When 1t is recalled that less than
three months ago the steel corporation
was operating It's many plants at less
than As per cent of their capacity, 1t
will be seen that a very material in
crease has been made in the produc-
ton and consumption OF steel. The
report also showe that nearly all OF the
improvement is due to orders outside
of steel rails. When railroad business
revives, as 1t is certain to do, the or
ders for rails will undoubtedly bring
the business of the steel plants up to
their full average capacity.
