In the long line of predecessors none has rendered more consplouous service, not only for the government, but for the industrious tillers of the west. letters” to the ™ el l TITE TARIFF SITUATION, ators who have positive views about the feeling in their section against ralsing the duties, and the Now England senae tors who are pressed by the demand for free v materials, ave united in the detormination to defeat the policy ine volved in the new tariff bill, There has been no formal agreoment to this end, but according to one roport there is a tacit understanding that the measure which will be reported tothe senate, and which as a whole is very little improve- mont upon the house bill, shall not be allowed to pass, These republican op- ponents of the proposed tariff are said to be trying in an informal way to fix a bill they can support, which will include a reduction of wool, lumber and other dutios from the rates proposed in the measure of the senate finance committee, in short a general downw ro- vision except in cases the retention of the present or pro- posed duties ean be clearly justified. There might be little possibility of pass- ing such u measuro, but it would at least have the good effect of arresting the ten- dency to an incrense of duties, which is undeniably hostile to the general senti- ment, as woll as to the interests and wolfare of the country. Another report is that there is a plan to shelve the tariff bill, in deference both to the programme of Secretary Blaine and in order to prevent the deficit which would follow the loss of revenue from su- gavand the proposed reduction of the tobacco tax, estimated at about sixty-four million dollars a year. There is very likely, however, nothing in this, for the reason that every republican in congress must understand that it would bs only a less serious mistake for the party to abandon all offort to revise the tarift than to give the country such a policy as the measuves alveady prepared pro- pose. So far as the programme of Secretary Blaine is concerned it prosents no serious difficulties for this country, whatever may be thought of the ehances of its accomplishing the ob- joot sought. It proposes a conditional policy which in no event could bear any harder upon our psople than that now in operation, but in which there is the possibility of lavge advantages, and it would apply only to a fow features of the tariff. There is no good reason why tariff revision should be abandoned on account of this programme designed to promote teade reciprocity be- tween this and other American countries. As to preventing a deficit, this can be done only by reducing ex- penditures, since even with the present tarilf and excise systoms undisturbed the revenues of the government will cortainly fall short of the appropriations alveady made and in contemplation. There is still another influence spoken of which may not be entirely without weight, at least with senators who mpathize with the policy of the scere- tary of state, and that is the threat of a commercial war against the United States by a union of European countvies in the event of the adoption of tha proposed tariff pol- icy. Itisnot to bo doubted that the passage of the MeKinley bill by the house is regurded in Burope as justify ing ascheme of retaliation, and it is said that Secrctary Bl in receipt of information from our resentatives in Buropean countries that this is being soviously contemplated. It is casy to aggerate the importance of such a threat, and it is also possiblo to underestimate it, but only those will be disposed to ignore it who, like Mr. McKinley, believe that the people of country ave under no necessity to talco any account of foreign markets for their products. It is expected that the tariff bill will be taken up by the senate for discussion within a fow days, when a better judg- ment can be formed as to its probable fate. Meanwhile the indications are such as to reassure those who believe that the policy proposed would result in retarding the progress and prosperity of the country. THE VOTE OF THE FARM. The activity of the farmers’ organiza- tions in the south and west is a matter of.great interest and solicitude, accord- ing to Washington advices, to many of Some of the demoerats who have long represented districts in the south are in danger of defeat by men put forward by the Farm- crs’ Alliance, and such as are thus threatened are manifesting a disposition to put themselves in accord with many of the demands of the farmers, A few n democratic congressmen who have publicly expressed themsslves ro- garding some of the radical proposals of the farming class have shown the cou fago to oppose them, but the large ma- jority have been caveful to keep their opinions to thomselves. In portions of the west there is also a good deal of con- cornamong the politicians, and it is move than probable that some of them will be relegated to p life beeauso their views of public policy are not approved by their farmer constituent In view of tho active c rn which the agricultural class throughout the atry are manifesting in political af- fairs, the extent of the farm vote is a matter of interest. The population of the United States in 1830 was in round numbers fifty millions, the census of that year the male popu- lation engaged in all occupations was a little less than fifteen mil , nearly one-half, or over seven millions, being wssed as agricultural, Practically half the vote of the country ten years ngo camo from the farm. The present total population of the country Is approximately sixty-five millions, and if it be assumed, which may fairly be done, that during the last decade the growth of the farm class has kept pace with that of tho other industrial groups, the relative proportion of the farm vote for the whole country has been main- tained. In the eust farming has, it is presumed, relutively declined, but the decrease has been made good in the west and northwest. It would seem rea- sonably sufe to say, thorefore, that the agricultural element in our population at prosent numbers not far from thirty- two wmillions, and if wo adopt the e the politicians in congress, ivate ol on ratio of voters to population in 1880, which was one to five and four-tenths, as applicable now, the result shows the present farm vote to be about five mil- lion nine hundred thousand, or but one hundred thousand less than half the total vote of the country, It thus appears that the farmers con- an army of voters sufficiently for- able to be worthy of all the attention they are recoiving, and to be able, were they united, with very little assistance from* the non-agricultural classes of voters, to control the ad- ministration and policy of the govern- ment. This large army of voters are considering more earefully and deeply than perhaps ever befove all quostions of public policy, and while they have al- lowed themselves to be led astray in some directions by incompetent teachers and false guides, thoy generally have an intelligent eonception of the prineiples which promise the greatest good to the greatest number, The farm vote of the United Statos has always been an honest and a patrioti to be found s a whole sustaining what- over is for tho eredit and welfare of the nation, ADDING INSULT 10 INJURY. Having held up the govi bitant prices for lots in block eizhiy-six, the beneficlaries are enjoying the boodlo whils an important public improvement is retarded.— Ol Br. This is a fair sample of the unhappy meth- ods of the man on the hill, Every citizen of Omaha knows that had it not been for the systematic obstruction offored by Rosewater to the final settlement of the postofiice matter work on that structure would already be well under way.—World-Herald, This is only adding insult to inju Every man, woman and child in Omaha knows that the location of the postoffice building was a job begotten by morcen- 'y speculators. Everybody knows that the Planters’ house square is not worth two-thirds of four hundred thousand dol- lars which the government to pay for it, when it could have bought a more availuble and larger picce of ground for ono hundred thou- sand dollars less, By engineering this job the owner of the World-Herald sold fifty thousand dol- lars worth of property for seventy thou- nd and helped his father-in-law to dis- pose of the tottering old block opposite the new site for something like forty thousand dollars more than it was worth. That deal would pay for several trips to Europe and make good the monthly de- ficit of the Worrd-Herald for a year at least. And while Hitcheock and his co- parceners were plotting o perpoetrate this barefaced job they kept up a ro ing cannonade at Rosewater, Saunder Connell and others who were urging the location on a site that did not have to be condemned by the government and of which the title could have been per- fected in thirty da That was fifteen months ago and the hue and ery was that Rosewater, Saunders and Connell were causing dumaging delay that would prevent the immediate erection of grand blocks ard structures, keep hundreds of thousands of dollars out of circulation, and deprive hundreds of mechanics and laborers of lucrative em- ployment. Liko the pickpocket who cries “Stop thief” while running away with his plunder, Hitchcock actually had the audacity to publicly urge business men to withdraw their patronage from Tue BEE, and he made an organized raid in North Omaha among its sub- seribers, while private civculars, urging a boycott of THE BEE, were being sent out from the business office of the Worid. Such an audacious and sneaking piceo of piracy never had been known in Omaha. No business man with any decency ov integrity would have dared to resort to such methods. Having retarded the erection of a new public building at least two years the same cormorants now turn round and actually charge the damaging delay upon Rosewater, and assert that he has obstructed the final settlement between the owners and the government. “Phis certainly does cap the elimax of indceency and malignant mendacity. ‘Where, when and how has Rosewater obstructed the final settlement of th title? Can they cite a single act on his part to de settloment in any way, shape or manner, either in Omaha or in Washington? It is true that Mr, Hitcheock is not at home, but he ought to have taken care to put & man in charge of his paper who Jnows enough not, to provoke and force a controversy in which he and his paper must appear in an unenviable light be- fore this community. rnmont for exor- AND WE SHALL ALL HAVE GLCRY.

That two such works should be placed at the disposal of every reader at a prico so small that the saving of barely 8 cents daily for a single year will cover it, and on terms 50 easy as to involve no meonven- iences of cconomy—this surely is a trlumph.
