BY WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN,

The extract below is n of the most famous passages from the
made at the Democratic national convention in 1896:

REPUBLICAN RIFT
ON III TARIFF

ton shall be settled, and settled right. The progressive Repub
leans of the Western States did not lay down their arms in their
defeat at the special session. They put clubs in pickle for those
senators who abiectly obeyed the orders of Aldrich and helped to
pass that extraordinary Senate bill. some of the worst features of
which were retained in the bill that finally became the law. In
short, the Republican party is now divided into two hostile camps,
one represented by Aldrich and Cannon and the other by such men
as Cummins and Doliver. The Western farmers can no longer
be bamboozled by the claim that their big, accommodating crops
are due to a high tariff, and that, therefore, they should consent,
as an equivalent, to systematic robbery by great industrial trusts
sheltered behind the tariff. Nor are they any longer dependent
on the capital controlled by trust interests for moving their crops.
They have the capital in their own banks. Conditions, as we'll as
sentiment and beliefs. have greatly changed.

Will Be Made to Cross Other
Streams as 1t Jour-
neys Along.

IT, BRING the greatest river in Ne
braska 100 miles overland, cross
ing other rivers n streams en- route,
at a cost of $7,0 0 900, is the plan for
Which construction contracts have al
ready been signed with a construction
company, writes a New York Tribune
correspondent. The object of the great
work is the development of force to the
extent Of 100000 horsepower for the
use of the great packing houses and
flour mills of Omaha. All plans have
been made, the scheme financed and
contracts let. ~Spb-contracts will be let
during August and actual construction
work will begin In September.
The stream which is to be carried
overland is the Loup. the river having
the largest flow of water in Nebraska.
and, according to the United States
Geological Survey, the stream having
the most uniform flow of water in all
the world, droughts or floods seeming
never to influence it. The Platte river,
commonly known as the largest in Ne
braska, has not the strong flow of
water possessed by the Loup.
Practically the entire Loup river will

Object Is to Secure Force of
100000 Horsepower for
Omaha Industries.

Again the river will be made captive
and conducted along its new channel to
the Maple Creek Valley, where another
plant is to produce 5000 horsepower.
Near Fremont still another plant will
generate 49, 00-horsepOwer, and then
the last stage of/the artificial river Is
to be begun. Between Fremont and
Omaha, about forty miles, the greatest
engineering feat of the development is
planned. This is the crossing of the
river high up above the Elkhorn river,
which traverses a deep valley. The
Loup will be conducted over this
stream on a giant concrete bridge, the
largest in the country. From this point
to Oman the new river will pass
through hills bordering on the Missouri
river, and finally will plunge ovcr the
very crest of the highest of these into
the Missouri, in a cataract seventy
five feet high. generating So 00-horse-
power. The total energy generated at
the five falls will be 200, 900 horsepower.
There Is no coa mined in Nebraska,
and every pound of energy must at
present be generated from coal, on
which enormous freight rates are paid,
the cost of generating being sSo.2S a
the 1881 for which the same power
can be purchased after the Loup is har-
messed.

be diverted from it's present bed and
conducted across the country on an
entirely different level than the one
given the river by nature. In its new
course the Loup will cross the Elk
horn river, the fourth largest stream
In the State, IN a great concrete bridge
high up in the air. The same course
will be pursued in crossing smaller
streams and depressions too large to
fill.
The big plan which has just been
financed and made public contemplates
diverting the Loup from it's present
course at Genoa, Neb. Here the stream
flows eastward, but the new river will
be conducted northward seventeen
miles to a vast natural reservoir seven
miles long, at the lower end of which
a dam 120 feet high will be con-
structed.
From the top of this dam penstocks
will lead the water to waterwheels, 12D
feet below, where so, 600 horsepower will
be generated and sent to Omaha over
copper wires.
After leaving the dam the water will
continue in the new channel provided
for it for twenty miles, when another
natural reservoir Is encountered and a
fall of eighty feet obtained. AT this
point, near Schuyler, Neb., 10000 horse
power is to be generated and sent on
ward to the big packing houses at
Omaha.

PENALIZING THE
GUARDSMAN

duty is a species of treason to the State. Refusal by an EMPLOYER
to permit an employee who is a member of the National Guard to
respond to such a call is Grass and shortsighted selfshness. Such
men are the first to clamor for the military when they become
alarmed about their private interests. 1t is asking little enough
from an employer that during a short term of military service his
employees wage be not cut off. Governor Fort touched upon this
subject in remarks at Sea Grt the other day. and what he said
was SO just that employers generally should take his words to
heart. In effect there is practically no difference between the
anarchist who would wipe out the military arm of the State and
make it helpless against anarchistic violence and the obstinate
and .unpatriotic selfshness that would penalze service in the Ma.
tional Guard.

TWO ELECTIONS
IN ONE YEAR

GERS was devised for the alleged purpose of separating the local
from the general elections without holding two elections in one
year. But the Legislature. while passing this amendment propo.
sition. enacted a law for open primaries, which practically makes
two elections in one year. The primary, under the new system
and by the machinery established for it, is a exacting upon the
citizen as is the election that follows it. The primary REQUIRES
the holding of a regular campaign, with expenses equal to those
common.
