Editors Ciiirr: We get your paper regularly, am are much pleased with its able advocacy of free silver, and are glac to see you Btand up for the peoples interests. Something must be done to raise tbe price o( silver in America, olso the money powers of Europe wil trample bs under their feet. When we go to the only countries whose products Unole Sams domain ean not duplicate, we have to pay out silver coin that costs us 100 cents on the dollar; while Englands finan ciers buy bar silver in this oountr; at a little over half coin valuo (goll premium countod) aod the British mints give it seigniorage out free coinage for that trade, making the produots of -Jdia, China, Japan, Corea, Russia, and Austria II un-gary, where silver coin passes for the same as gold, cost them but a little more tnan half what they do ns. Not only do those products meet ours in the European maikets, when not cut off on tbe other side (as wheat is this year), but, despite the highest tariff, are liable to meet us on British bottoms on our own shores. On this plan of trade.

Chinese coal is now offered by Brit-ish shippers in the San Francisco markets for a less price than American producers can deliver it there. Wheat, a great product of some tbe silver countries (where farmers have no pianos or carriages) oan be produced there as low as thirty cents a bushel, as well as the U. S. for sixty cents, and, to British speculators, thirty cent wheat woulc cost about sixteen oents. In Mexico tho United States has no trade, except a light emergency trade in corn; all olothing, household and personal necessities not produced there, being furnished by England, France or Germany, who stand at the threshold of silver coin trade.

The shrewd dealers of these countrios, cat under United States prices to about the same amount that they discount their money, then use Mexican dollars at par in their trade with silvel taking countries, so despite of the discounts on Mexican money the clothing, bought with it, sells cheaper there than Bimilar qualities do in the United States. Wo can get nothing from the gold base nations (of which the expanse of the United constitutes- one third) which we cannot duplicate in this country. All the luxuries and medicinal necessities of the United States come from silver taking countries, and roost of them come to ns on British bottoms and with British profit. Not only has Great Brittain, got a cinch on Mexican and Oriental trade, bat she has also got an nuder-hold on this countrys business. British syndicates own the Chicago stock yards, and a controling in terest all other stock markets of the United States.

They own con-troling interests in the brewing, distillery, straw board, match, gas, electrioal, street car, petroleum, sugar, etarch and rail road syndi cates, and in most of the capitalist daily presses and their news franchises. These interests have been procured from successfully operating resident companies, who had made of eaoh a paying success, who could have continued to hold them, and distribute their earnings here instead of drawing them into the gold maw of Europe. This accounts for the miserably small amount of oar gold circulation and deposit, so small that Carl Schnrz says a Wall street syndicate could gobble it within ninety days, making the premium on gold what they liked-a result likely to occur if McKinley is elected, and we have no other than a gold base to fall lack on. To raise the price of silver in the United States would raise its price in Mexico. It would give our merchants and ship owners an equal chance at the trade of all the countries whose products we must have, and an npperhand in the trade pf Mexico.

It would broaden our currency base so Wall street thieves and promoters for foreign ones cannot corner it. It would stop English syndicates from gobbling every good thing in the United States, even the government, and making of oar citizens English vasslas. It would protect and utilize the nations mineral wealth, aad protect the interests of our merchants and sailors abroad. We believe in protection, through judicious currency laws and making the millionaires pay their share of the general governments expense, for the millions of poor and downtrodden-citizens of this Republic M.

If Bryan is elocted buy real estate. It will be valuable. If McKinley is elected buy bonds. Ileal estate will be unsaleable. Chicago Tribune: I think Ill abandon tbe stump! said the voter, throwing away tbe remnant of the campaign cigar a oandidato had given him.

The entire south and west will roll up grand majorities for Bryan, and the east, well there may bo two or three states that will surprise the natives. E. Webb and 0. Eastman, the next representatives from this dietriot, were tn tbe city last Wednesday, They report very luccess- ful meetings wherever they go. L.

FCole, who comes before the people of Sargent, Douglas Grove and Westerville townships, as the populist candidate for supervisor, deserves the support of every voter. See to it that he has the majority be merits. B. P. Morris is one of tbe most substantial men who ever served on the county board.

His record is beyond reproach. The seventh supervisor district should by alt means return him, and we predict his majority will be large. Tbe depth of desperation to which thegoldbugs are driven in their ght on silver is shown by, their lotion in the Seventh Kentucky judicial district, where the republicans and gold demecrata have united, and Will support Breckeundge ior congress. Tbe Toters of Delight, Arnold, Elimand Grant townships should see to it that E. B.

Whaley is retained on the county board for another year. Mr. Whaley has shown splendid business ability, and a better man for. the tplsee cannot ke fatal. st'idying the money qiH'Mkr, tm1 the slmly of it is oonuiuing the peoj.lo generally that there can no prosperity ao long as the gold standard is maintained.

The gold standard makes a dear er dollar, A dearer dollar makes falling prions, end falling prices mean hard times. The people who profit b) bard times are relatively ho few numhor that they wouli amount to nothing at all but for tho fact that they are aided by a con sidcrable number of people who, not having studied the money question themselves, have received inatruo-lions from a fow financiers. The numhor of republicans who have declared for free silver out-number the democrats who hav desurted the ticket, and while the number of silver republicans is in creasing all the time, the number bolting democrats is all the time oreaslng. While I have no doubt aa to my election, I believe that the advooatos of freo coinage should work from now to cleoikm day to make the utajoniy in tho electoral college so large that no party hereafter wil ever dare to propose Rubmisston to foreign Uoauoial policy. W.

J. Bryan. Issued to the press Ciucin nsti. Among all the states in the union Nebrnska stands first in the possess on of the fewest illiterates in pro portion to her population. This Is indeed, sn honor of which all oiti sens may justly be proud.

When It is considered that Nebraska is one of the vounger states, that tpatiy her inhabitants live On farms diffi oultto classify into districts, an that there is not the wealth dis tributed among tbe various cities that distinguishes the older centers of population, this reoord is indeec significant. When all hss been said about the west, thoao who are just in their judgmenta must acknowledge that the people that have helpod built op the newer regions are really the representative Americans, and that they come from the olass that is the most enterprising and industrious, With all her children growing up under careful training, tbe future the state of Nebraska is sure to justify tho most extravagant hopes its founders. It is eminently proper that Nebraska should furnish tl)e next president of the United States. World Herald, Mr. Dugan Crawfqrtj, sole owner of one of the largest department stores in St.

Louis, is an ardent advocate of the gold standard, Recently be caused a canvass of bis employes to fee psde nnd found many of then) free ajlver men. He then called twelve beads of departments before blip and told them they were no longer in bis employ, explaining that be did not want any anarchists to breathe the air of bis establishment. The publication of the story, with a mass of confirmatory interviews, caused muoh commotion. The labor unions took up the matter at their weekly meeting, and Mr. Crawford was eiooriated.

The indignation was so great that a mass meeting was held at the Oriental 1 and filled it to overflowing with people of all political parties. Resolutions were adopted censuring Crawford, and the interest created was so intenso, that the merchant has acknowledged hie error and being afraid of state laws, hss asked his discharged men to again take their old places. The Ox Soast. Not one, but two. It will be great big barbecue, with everybody present.

October 29th the day, and Broken Bow is the Arrangements are being made to make this the greatest demonstration ever held in tbe county. Senator Allen, Gov. Holcomb, Judge Greene and H. M. SulUvan, will be present and address the people, on the live political issues.

The grand parade will take place at 11 a. m. Roast Ox will be served at noon and there will be enough lor all of Custer county. Speaking oommences at 2 p. m.

in early; Jtring your gslghbor. And now Mark Hannas republican papers are claiming that Mo-Kinley will leoeive the largest vote in the electoral college of any president ever elected. Dont you be-lievd it. Tell them yon are from Missouri, and will have to be shown and not told, Bryans chances are brighter today than ever. The peo-pte are with him, and the doubtful states are swinging into line.

-A11 that is necessary now is to vote, and the shouts for Bryan and vietory will follow on the morning after election. Mao Warrington, of the Tran-scriptt has got the situation sized np tlmsly: According to the latest nnd most authentic newspaper reports obtained, McKinley will bo elected president by a moat overwhelming majority, while Bryan will carry enough states togivehim317eleotor-ial votes, or 03 more than necessary to elect him president. It begins to look a little as thongh we will not know exactly who is to be president until after election. Now, aint it too bad that the voters of the country have to be called upon to determine the matter? There is now no doubt whatever, that Nebraska is safe for Bryan and the whole fusion state ticket. Bat, this is no reason why a single populist or democrat should let up on the fight.

Push the good work along, and booBt the free silver majority a few notches higher. The campaign which Bryan is making, with from six to a dozen speeches a day, is a great test of tbe physical and mental strength of the man, He oomes np smiling at every point, and is gathering votes at a tremendous rale as the campaign advances.

The farmers who have been hauling wheat to Ansley lately are doing some tall kicking; they say they get from three to six cents a wshelmorein Berwyn or Broken low than they ean in Ansley; the remit is that maay are going to other pi aces with their wheat. That means hundreds of dollars that Aaslej. business men will- lose. From away out California wo loam that our own P. Camphel is -expounding good free silver doctrine.

The following ws take from the Arcuta Union, a republican paper, relative to his speech, Areata; Mr. Campbell, a Eureka lawyert was speaker of the evening, and if the gentleman is as good lawyer ns he is a political speaker, he ought to do well at the bar. Ills speech was just such as a lawyer would doliver before a jury with bad case to handle. His. argument in favor of free silver was laid be fore his audience in a forcible ant eloquent effort.

For lack of space it i not possible for os to follow the gentleman throngh his argu merit. He addressed himwel1 throughout his speech to tbe farmers and laboring men, or, as ho styled them, the common people. The weight of bis argument in favor of free silver was based upon tbe theory that cheap money makes high prices for produce and labor. The following cablegram from London appeared tho Chicago Tribune the most partisan goldbuj; newspaper in America, ond should forever set at rest any doubt as to the authenticity of the celebrated London Financial Nevis artiole, wbioh has been so vigorously de nied by the goldbug pros; London, Oct. 2.

(Copyrighted, 189h by the Press Publishing Company. 'New York World.) The World correspondent examined today a file of the London Financial News In its offioe, and quotes tbe following extract from an editorial in its 'issue of April 30, -1894: Tbero can be no doubt about it that if tbe United States were to adopt a silver basis to-morrow British trade would be ruined be fore a year was out, because American industry would be protected not only 'al home, but in every other market. The Presidential Electors. Populists and democrats who want no vote for Bryan and free silver are urgently requested to be on thsir guard when they make ont their ballots. There will be no less than six different and distinct sets of electors on the ticket.

N. CAMPBELL. We hear very favorable reports fom oyer tho county in regard to tbe candidacy ot J. R. Dean for county attorney.

His popularity with the people, bis fairness in offio and his able administration has made him more than a formidable candidate. A large following of republicans thought it nnwise to put a man is the field against him, not lecause they did not wish to advance the interests of their party, ut because they recognized in Mr. Jean a fair, impartial, honest attorney, ever alert to the interests of the county, and just such a man as, is needed in that office.
