INE TARIFF ON PARM PRODUCTS. Wo ard informed that the spoakers of the so-called indepondent parly in No .hnuk:\ are telling the farmersthatthore | ducts of the farm, and T B3 to state what agricultural products made dutiable under the existing and the amount of the dulids. The lowing furnishesthe answer 1o this quaost: Barloy per bushel , Corn, per bushel Cornmenl, per bus Oats, per bushel Rve, per bus hel. Whiat, per bush Potatoes, per bushel. . Oatmeal, per cent ¢ pound cat ai i pow, pet cer fons, per cont wd value Hove; ter pot Hay, per ton Cheese and butte The new tarff bill which fhe house proposed a i of mnearly all these du- 1 s0mecases more than doubling ud the senate bill preserves all nges with the exe n of bar- onwhich was placed at 1shel inthe house bill -fivo cents in the presumed that no rmer conld be deceived stitement regarding its aelation to farm that reported to us, all such must cortainly havo le the ding the prope advance of duties on such products from the voluminous discussion it ceived in congross and inthe pres, Nor i itquite apparent what motive any spaikerin hehalf of the independent party could have inattempting o mis- 1¢ the farme in this matter, Tfit could beshown that the duties on farm products had been any real benefitto the farmer re would be some reason in onde to show them thatthe re- publican party had neglected them in this purticalar, butas amatier of fact the tarill dutieson the products of agri- culture have, with perhups tvo of thice brought no advantage to :h.- Noris itat all likely they do so whe they are advanc d. Ivery intelligent Nebraskn farmc knows that the present duty of ten cents per bushel on corn has not been of the slightest benefltto him, and there is the least resson to suppose that advanc ing theduty to fifteon cents per bus! will do himany good. We donotimport com and we raisea great deal “mo than isrequired for home consumpti During the pastyear we have exported com totheamount of over one hundred million bushels, and so long as the coun- try continues to do this corn will not need tarifl protection. Tho sort of argument applies Lo nearly every other product of the farm upon which there isa taviff duty, During the fiscal year ended June 30, 18, we imported one hundred and thirty thousand bushels of wheat and oxported to Europe over forty-six million bushels, No one. will pretend that the duty on thetrifling amount imported increased the price of domestic wheat, It had no bearing whateyer on the price, which was fixed inthe European market, but the im- ported wheat beingmostly for sced the thirteen thousand dollars of revenue it pald camelargely out of the pockets of the farm We imported last year twentytwo thousand bushels of oats and exported over six hun- dred thousand bushe No in- tolligent man can fail to under- stand that the duty hadno effect what- ever upon the price of domestic onts, nor isit appavent how it could have wero it ten times us high asit isso long as we se outs in quantities that leave a sur- lus for export. If there wereany protection for farm produets intaril duties the existing law nnlces amyple provision for it, and this will be materially incressed by the meas- ure now under considerationin the sen- ate. In this respect at least the republi- can party has 1ot been unmindful of the farmer, But it is not demonstrable that the farmer has derived any real benoefit from the dutieson his products, nor is there anysound reason for supposing that he will doso whentheduties lave been advanced as proposed in the new tarifF bill, fol- re- per pound. *pt ley, the duty thirty cents per and is m nale m intelli gont the pio- for Lavil ducls 18 has re- THE CONTRACT LABOR LAW. Thenew billrelating to contract labor reported to the house by the commiltee on labor proyides for lmportant and necessary changes from the ex l.m, which has proved to be fur from ictory inits operation. The pur- pose of thislaw was the protection of our own laborers by restricting the im- portation and immigration of foroigners under contracts to labor. In last report the sewetary of treasury staited that the was undoubtedly often ovaded by the landing of Ewopean contract laborers in foreign teritory contiguous to our own, whence they, as well ascon- tract laborers whose homes are in such contiguous country, llml ready access to the United States by s and other means of transportation, The execution of thelawis also impeded by the diffi- culty of obtaining legal proof of the con- tract under which thess people soek ad- mission into the country. The secretary exprossed the bolief that the law, us it stands, has partially failed of its purpose, because of cortain inher- ent defects and the impracticability of its administration in some of its features, One of these isin forbidding to persons living in the ssme hamlet or conmunity the ordinary contract relations of daily life and necessary business transactions, because they happen to Live onopposite sides of the national bound: line. The seeretary observed that the widom or necossity of the law in this regard s not appirent, nd its enforce- ment s manifostly impracticable, Complaint has been made from timeto time of the hardships of the law In case of citizens of Canads and Mexico who are emy entering the Their em- poyment as civil ongineors, superin: tortdonts, conductors, hrakemen, locomo- tive enginecrsand five men, travelingaud- ltorsand in other capcitics calls them noreor less froquently into the United States, and itis claimed they thus be- come amanable to the law.

Under no eir- s vill the revival of that sys- tembe allowed. But there is wanted a law that will work no injustice or hard- ship, and the administrationof which will bo attended by no such diffleulties as have been experiencedin putting into effect the present illconstructed and in some respects ridiculous law. LET THERE BE HARMONY. Both Kamsas Cityand Denver seem jealous of Omaha's population, It ls true that in the matter of enumeration, Omuha had a few thousand more inhab- itants, but suppose she did? The thr sities lio outin the west and any one of them isthe admiration of all castern cities. Kansas City at the mouthof the Kaw has a ter: which is peculiarl her own; sho has herbanks and her bank el nd they foot away up into themillions; she is growing rapidly and she hasno more cause tobe jealous of Omaha than she has to be jealous of San T 0. Denver, lying close at the base of the Roeky mountains, in turn oc- cupies a field which is also her ow hashermines, her resorts ctions, her business and her territory, and the green oyed monster should not bo al- lowed to entor the fold of harmony that otherwise would enwrap itself around these three greatest cities of the west, In the matter of Omaha did notstand back, and the population w This will add to her manifold attractions, and many people will locate in our midst because of our advantage in num strength, but the two other cities mentioned have nothing to lose, but, on the contrary, haveevery- thing to guin. Population is only one index 0 a city’'s prosperity. Kansas City has enough people to project any enterprise, and Denver is not wanting in thospit of push and energy. Omaha is dimbingalong, and the three cities, with their mapsof busy life, “their fluc- tuations and their vast concerns,” can allhelp onejanother, And to do that should be the ambition of all, The mere question of which particular one has the laugest population, whenall are grow- ing, has nothing to do with the casg. All are destined to come great commercial centors, if they are not now, and the two fighting Omaha will be heurtily ashamed of themselves within ten . To “help one another” wusa divine injunction, and itis asapplicable tocities asto individuals,. The citiesof Kansas City and Denver will plewse ad- just their rospectivo olive branches and put their shoulders to the wheel. There are big things in store for us allduring the next few ye cumstan Omaha hns reason for congratulation upon the certainty of securing within a year anew temple of amusement {ii keop- ing with the growth of the city, What the old Boyd opera house was to the city in 188], the new Boyd will be tothe me- tropolis in 1891, The magnificent growth of tho city in ten years overvhelmed the capicity of existing theaters, and made the erection of a now theater amatter of necessity. It is gratiffing t know that within a car this great want will bemore than met by the structure now under w The now Boyd opora. houso will be the peor of any inthe country. The eliim isa strongone to male, but it is made on the authority of one thoroughly posted on theatrical structures. In design, ¢ y and finish, it will sur- pass every modern theator eastor west, with the exception of the Chicago Audi- torium, It will Do freo from the many dofects in our present theaters, and most important of all, it will be equipped not only with every conve- nience for entertainments of all classes, but will have ample means of exit in case of danger, as wollas every modern facility for the prevention of disaster, The erection of this grand homo of ramais due to tho enterprise and libarality of My, James Boyd, Tohim must be awarded the croditof havingin 1551 given the city the first gonuine theater, ata time when confilence in the eity’s futura was below par. The rosults of that investmentamply justi- fied the eonfidence displayed, and in un- dortaking the construction of a new thoater, Mr. Boyd aguin furnishes sub- stantial evidence of his unbounded faith in the growth and prosperity of Omuha, and the appreciation of her people. indopendent farmers’ movement W has upparently collapsed. The action of the late state convention Brought home to the intelligent mem- bers of the alliance the fact thatthe order was being manipalated in tho ln- tevestofl self-soekeors, and hundreds of themopenly denounced the conspiracy which had forits object the transforma- tion of theallianeeinto a potitical m chine, That the farmers have repudi- ated the ticket isshown in the character of thodelogates elected to therepubli- can state convention which © in Topekn next week Out four hundred and 3 sgates chosen, three hundred are farmors. The tatal number of delegates in the convention will be five hundred and fifty-severf! The farmers will there- fore havea good working majority, and it handled by wise lenders can dictato not only the policy but name the men who will manage the state's affairs dur ing the next two yoars, In working for reform within tha republican ranks, the furmors of Kansas control the destinies of the stato, and f they fall to take ad- vantage of their gpportunities they will hiave ouly themscives to blame. THE result of no congressional contost in the country will be awaited with more general interest than that inthe distr] or McKinley is the republican candidate. The gerryman- der of Ohio by the democratic legisla- ture has placed My, McKinley in a dis- trict thatis counted as safo for the dem- sby & good round majority, and that party has nominated as its candi- date for con gress o man of high character and good ability who is expested to command the full party support. Major MeKinley's populavity in that section, however, is very great, among demo- cratsas well as ropublicans, and his op- ponent will need to keep actively at work to defeat him, Therecan be no question that Major McKinley is o man of avery highorder of ability, and his retirement from congress would be a very serious loss to the republican side of the house, BrrweeN Harlan and McKeighan, the voters of the Second district will have little difficulty in choosing. Mr. Harlan has demonstrated in and out of office his honest and active sympathy for the mas: He has given practical evi- dence of his devotion to the needs of the producers, and las championed their cause long before politicians of the Me- Keighan stripe trimmed thelr sales to ing breeze. It is not neces- saryfor Mr. } n to tell the people ho is with them. His past record is o guaranty that ina higher sphere of ac- tivity and uscfulness ho will employ overy honorable m “tho greatest good for thegren ber.” Tne addition of a few blocks here and there to the fire limitsis ridiculous.

Pateh work will not do. The city council should take hold of the question in a sensible, business way and shut down on the fire traps, T grist of bills regularly handed in by the poundmaster indicates that the sentence of one of the gang to the peni- tentiary does not check the zeal of the canine department of the government.
