No Excu Will Be Accepted for Manufaceurers Holding Back and Neglecting to Melp Along the Movement, The causo of home patronago is progress- fng as rapidiv as its most ardent adyocatos could oxpact and many manufacturars say that if tho agitation wero to coasa evon now it would havo to bo conceded that the move- ment haa proven a great success. A sontiment has been created among tho consumers of the city and state that promises much, and tho wide-awake and progressive among the manufacturers propose that this sontiment shall bo encouraged and not al- lowed to gradually die out. One of tho surest sigas that tho movement 1s & success is the alarm shown by eastern manufacturers who do not relisn the 1dea of boing compelled to give up Nebraska, which has proven such a rich fleld in the past, aud from which thoy have reaved such golden barvosts, For years eastern manufacturors have pursuod the polioy of orushing out Ne- braska factories in every line possible, and it has reawred iargo capital ana an immense amount of energy 10 moot their compatition, They do not now rolish tio idea of home patronage whioh gromises to build up Nebraska industries in s pite of all taey can do to puli them down, To ocncourage home patronage and to i form the peoplo s to what kinds of goods aro mado in Nebraska is tho ovject and aim of the Munufacturers’ and Consumors’ asso- clation. In this work thoy have the ap- roval of the le: ug business men of the Ly who are practiclng home patronage in thelr homes and in their business to an ox- tent greator thau ever before. 1t is to be expected that the manufacturors will experience some discouragement, and this is most likely to come from parties within their own ranks. Tt was anticipated on the start tnat some Linos of business would experience more direct benefit from the movement than othors as some lines come into more general use than others, or are more easily identifiod Dy tho consumer, but that is no reason why any manufaoturer shoula hold back and neg- lect to give the movement bis support. While somo may recelye more direct benefit others will po benefitted indirectly to the sawe extent. ‘The general publio can mot consume ma- obinery, but they do consume flour, soap, yeast, syrup, vinegar, brooms and a hunared othor articles, and the more they consume the more machinery and machine repairing the manufacturers of these articles will re- quire. Thus the machine shops and found ries will indivectly reap a benefit from the movement and the proprietors of these es tablishments recognize this fact aud some have already joined the association and are among the most zoalous workers for tho oause. The goneral public can neither eat mor wear bricks, but by patronizing the factories that turn out such goods s go luto the house- Nold they will compel those factories to OMAHA ent & Awnig o 1113 Farnam Street, Omaha.

A number of other sunilar lines of business might bo mentioned which directly will re ceive littio or mo benefit, but their success depends upon the success of others or upon the general prosperity of the city. The suc- cessful busiess man always tikes into ae- count the future in all that ho does and is ready any moment to put forth an effort if it is lilkely to bring him somo advantage later on, If certain manufacturers sit down and neg- lect to forward their own interests simply be- causo thoy do not expect to reap any immedi- ate or direct beneiit they ought not to com plain if the public looks upon them as lacking n enorgy and public spirit. The complaint that times are bard will not be taken as an excuso for their indifference, as that is the strongost argument iu_ favor of home patron- age, which wilt keep the money at home and mako times bette If all kinds of business were good, it thero was plenty of work for all tho laboring men in the city, if tho city generally was eujoving a period of great prosperity, there would not bo 80 much necessity for hoine patronage, aud Af thero were, 1t would be impossible to gain tho attention of the public and no oue would listen to thearguments Some manufacture ndifference on ik may assume au air of ground that their busi- ness is alread prosperous and that they are already recoiving all the home patronago necessary. 1f there are any such it would seem to be no more than right that they de- vote a little time to tho movement which is caleulatod to place others on the same footing and holp benofit tho city and state that has treated them 8o libevally. nent manufacturer recently re- “T'his movement is bound to be ‘winner,’ and the sooner overy manufact. catehos onto the procession the soonor he will be recoenized by tho people as public spirited and worthy of all the encouragement that can possibly be given him, Tho consumor must not feel that i prac- ticing home patronago he is working for the benetit of the mauufactuver alone. Itisa generally recoguized fact that manufacturing industries are the greatest help in building up acity; therofore, the consumer in prac- ticing home patronage 18 working for the public good aud for his own ood. If he is A laboring man ho beuefits himsel? and fellow laborers by cresting an increased de- wand for labor; if a real estate owner, he cnhaucos the value of his own property by building up the city; if a retail merchant, his business improves from tho incroased amount of money put iuto circulation by the factory employes. An indiviaual or a line of business has not yet been discovered that will receive no benelit from home patronage. There is anotner most potent reason out- sido of any material benefit which may accrue to the individual why the consumer should give the preferenco to homo made goods, and that is basod on the pride which every citizen takes in the prosperity and growth of his state, Nebraskn has through the energy of her people become one of the roatest agricultural states in the union. Why should she not bocome one of the great- est manufacturing states! Some may say that she does not possess the natural advan- tages, that she does not produce euough of the vaw material, but it must be borne in mind that just such people said a few yoars ago tnat Nebraska was a desert, aud if they had been listoned to she would still be a desert.

Massachusetts comes west for hides which she tarns into shoes and ships them west The New England states do not grow all the raw mateaial which thoy con- sume by any neans, and some of their most flourishing 'industries are in lines of manufacture, tho ray material for which has to be brought from a distance. The encrey of the poople and not natural resources have built up easteru_industries and the same thing can make Nebraskaa great manufactu © state. C lot the veople take pride in_home industries and en- courage the wanufacturing spirit and the question of raw waterial will be solved by the manufacturers themselvos 11 it was necessary for the success of the manufacturing industrios of Nebraska to make lurge contributions of land or money or otherwise tielp them i & financial way, the task might be burdensome, but all that is ro quired of the peoplo is to buy their supplies from localin preference to eastern factories. It is loarnod that quite a good many rotail dealers recoguize thoimportanco of tho move- wentand ure co-operaling with it to tho ex tont of carrying a full line of Omaha mado goods, but othors are fighting against the in- ovitable to the best of their ability. This latter class cannot bring themselves to tho idea of loaving the money in Omaha which thoy receive from Omaha people, but prefer to send it all out of the state, They put off their customers with all sorts of excuses and representations, many of which would not bear very examination, Some of them tell the customer inquiring for Omaha goods that they are not of as good quality us bis eastern goods, a good mauy try to make the customer beliovo that the Omaha manufacturer asks more for his goods than tho castern, when it stands to reason that if such were the case the Omaha manufacturer would have been forced out of business. To ve sura the best grade of goods of local make may cost more than tho second grade of cast- eru factories, and it is by such comnarisons that the opponents of home patronage try to carry their point Ttis the duty of the patriotic citizens to stand by their principles and not allow them- selves to be deceived by the enemies of homa industries. Ask vour aealer for Omaha made goods, insist upon having such and no other, and bo sure that what you receive is what it is claimed to be. Omaha Candy Factories Tar Bee has described a good many differ- ent lines of manufacture in Omaha shown where and how several hundred peo ple aro employed and how hundreds of thou- sands of dollars aro annually distributed in ‘wages, but the list is by no means exhausted. Ono of the branches of industry wiich has been neglected up to the present time is the manafacture of candies and all kinds of con: fections. It may bo a surprise to many people to know that the threo candy factories of Omaba_omploy 197 people ana pay out in wages §05,045 per year. The great majority of these workiug people e girls and the employment is apparently agreeable. The first factory visited was thatof the Poycke Candy company st 416 South Eléventh street, which makes a spacialty of turning out fanoy jar goods, such as are used by the very best trade, Tliey put up oighty- six different kinds of these goods. They also manufacture all the ordinary grades of ndies, including stick goods, mixed candies, chocolates, ete, As nearly overy kind of candy requires some difference in tho process, it will b im. possible to give a detailed description of all the different operations. Of course the main constituent of all candies is sugar, and it may be added, that in tuls factory the OMAHA, NEB. W. AL RAMS C.W. 1. J. WINTERFIELD. RAMSER X CO. MAK Fine Hats.

The first step in the process is the melting of the sugar, which is accomplishad in hugo kettles many'of them large cnougb to hold a whole, burrel of sugar. In this factory they nave introduced the vacuum process of welting, which has an udvantage over the ordi- nary open fire mothod, in that a barrel of sugar can be reducell in twenty-fve minutes instead of requiring three-quarters of an h © by theothor process. As sugar grows darker the longer it is boiled, this shortoning up of the time is quite an ad vantago in turniug out the finer grades of geods. There are only twelve factories in the country employing this method and they are obliged to pay a rovalty for its use. The boiling process over, and different in- gredionts of coloring matte tracts, added, the subsequent operations widel 50 pou ne kinds of candies are shaped by belng d into moulds of ali forms aud varieties ginablo, Some of the finer goods are ped in rubber moulds, which give tho dy a clear cut_appearance, all the minute itlines being fully preserved. Otbers aro moulded in trays filled with starch in which the aesired battern has been impressed by plaster dies. Stick candies are mado by pouring out the material ou large slabs, where it is worked or pulled and atlast stretched out and rolled into lonz picces the size of the stick aud afterwards cut up to any desived It 1s a source of wonderment to some how stick candies are made with a ceuter of one color, surrounded by different colors or de. signs. The operation is simplo enough wh seon. In making the sticks they commenc with the center and roll around it such other colors or kinds as are desired. A visit to the chocolate department will bring to notice many interesting features. Here rows of girls seated before tables on which there is o nass of chocolate, melted, but not soft enough to M, drop tho cream ters into the cnocolate, and as they are coated lay them on prpers to dry. By this simple mothod ara turned out those delicious chocolate creams so ponular with the ladies. It is practically all haud work. A hulf duy could well s spent in such’ o factory and still much be left unseen, The next factory visied was that of iKopp, Dreibus & Co., 1106 'synam street, where a largo varioty of fine capiies are turaed out and where some fifty poople find steady em ployment at good wuges. The method of manufacture is so similar to that outlined avove that it is uonecessary to go into auy description, e same may be said of Voegelo & Din- ning’s factory at 1110 #oward street, where forty-five people aro employed. Itcan bo trathfully said of the Omaha caudy factories that they aro marvels of neat- Ross and that nothiRR “objootionable 18 to bo found in ang;fono of tnem. A lover of the Sweots can visit every department without having his appe- tito {n tho least impaired There has been a conastantly growing de- mand for the fine grades of candies, and hy keeping up with this demand Omaha is now able to turn out as fine goods as any city in Lhe country. This fact is appreciated 1n many other cities much more fully than in Omaha. A local factory recently sent a saleswan through tho city witha lineof fancy jar goods, such as are sold in tho bost drug stores. Iu two days of hard work he succecded in placing six jars in Omaha.
