Two years ago Senator Blackburn of Kentucky made the declaration in Washington that the next president would be elected by the house of revre- sentatives, and this would give the democrats the president and the repub- licans the vice president. The intersst which democratic ders have manifested in the farmers allinnce move- ment has been inspired chicfly, if not wholly, to bring about tion of Senator Blackburn's prophecy. [t is a fact familiar to ail who are in- formed regarding curront political his- tory that the democratic leaders have all they could to encourage the formation of the people’s party, and that the men most prominently identified with the new political movement have been democrats, In the south such men as Pillman, Gordon, Reagan and others no less prominent in democratic coun- cils have given encouragement to the plan of forming a new party, nover doubting that there was no danger in such an organization for the democratic south, but believing and hoping that it would be the means of defeating the vepublican party in some of the stutes of tho north Tt is well known that the great ma Jority of the alliance men in the south ern states are democrats first, and the assurance has repeatedly came from that section that whatever they might do in state olections they could boe con- fidently depended upon to support the democratie ticket in national elections. Menntime indefatigable efforts have been made by the southern promoters of this movement to draw into it the re- publican farmers and workingmen of tho north, and it has been more suc- cessful than could have been supposed possible when the obvious motive was understood. It is not creditable to the discernment of the farmers of the west and northwest who have hitherto acted with tho republican party that they have allowed themselves to be so easily duped into becoming a ty to this demoeratic schemo for seeuring control of the government. Nor can they plead that they have not been sufliciently warned. The convention of the so-called peo- ple’s party which will assemble in this city today will be simply a side show to the Chicago convention. It may nounce the democratic party, but its tion will bo in the interest of demo- eratic success. There is not an intelli- gont delegate to this convention who hus any expectation of the new party electing its candidates. Very few proba- bly have any serious idea that the party can earry asingle state. But there is a chance to injure the republican party, and possibly to defeat it, and this is the real object they have in view. t1s already practically settled that the declaration of principles anuounced at the St. Louis conference will be re- aflicmed, with a few additions. The talk rega:ding Judge Gresham as a can- didate is doubtless without the slightest authority, since 1t is hardly possible that he has any sympathy with the financial vagaries of the people’s party, while his good sense must tell him that he could havo nothing to gain, but rather something to lose, by putting himself in such a position, done de- TARIFE PLANK. Harrison, in his letter to the convention of New York repub- lican league clubs, has given the key note of the campaign regarding the wiff. Referring to the action of the Chicago convention on this subject, he said that *“the majority report seemod to recognize that some regard might be had in tariff legislation for the intorest of our American workingmon; that, in making tariff reductions, injury to our domestic industries should be avoided, and that such changesshould bo re- gardful of the labor and capital con- nected therewith.” But this report did not prevail. On the contrary, ‘“‘all of theso declarations were ruthlessly stricken out by an overwhelming vote of the convention,” and the president very properly concludes that the reso- lution adopted must, in the light of this vote, **be construed 0 bo an aflirmative declaration that democra legislation upon the tariff will be without any re- gard toits effect upon the wages of American industries,” The president concluded his letter as follows: What was rejected and what was adopted upon this subject at Chicago sooms to me to constitute a declaration moro extrems and dostructive than has ever beforo boen prowulgated by the democratic party. The republican party may, in tho light of this declaration, appeal with added confidoneo to American workingmen and American pro- ducers to sustain a policy that is always ro sardful of the iuterests of Amorican work- ingmen and Amorican producers, Tho great business intorests of our country will not fail to appreciate the disturbing and disas- trous effects of 5o radical a polioy u pon the cenoral prosperit Noel exposition of the meaning of the tariff plank of the democratic platform and of the purpose it implies could be given, and the democracy will find no little difficulty in convincing any intelligent workingman that the view taken by the president is not abso- lutely sound and logical. The tariff plank agreed upon und reported by a majority of the committee on resolu- tions of the Chicago convention recog nized the difference between the cost of labor here and labor abroad as a factor in making up tarifl legislation. It also oxplicitly stated that in framing a taritf it is not proposed to injure any domestie industries, but rather Lo pro- moto their healthy growth, and that of the law must bo at every il of the lubor and capital involved. A substitute was offered for this plank by Mr. Noeal of Ohio, and vigorously supported by Mr. Watterson of Kentucky. denouncing protection as afraud and declaring 1t to bea funda- mental principle of the democratic party that the federal government has no con- stitutional power to impose and collect tavifl duties, excopt for the purpose of only, This substituts was adopted by a vote of 564 to $45, Thus, by a vote representing the full convention, the democratic party, as was well said by Senator Hale in the United States senate s few days “turned down the American laborer turned down the American manufac- turer, and adopted a platform neaver to free trade than anything which hus been THE DEMOCRATIC President revenue ago, great | thoe consumma- | THE OMAHA DAILY offered to the Amarican people sinco the absolutely free trade constitution adopted by the confederacy in 1861.° The vote of the southern states in the convention was-meatly solid in support of the substitute. It is not surprising that the democratic organs are straining their ingenuity to find an interpretation of the tariff plank of the party platform that will relieve it of its offensi to everybody engaged in the manufac- turing industries of the country, or who is concerned for the growth and welfare of thoso industries, They seo that the intelligent workingmen and producer of tho country will repudiate this ex- treme and destructive declaration, and that the business interests of the coun- try, as President tHarrison has said, will not fail to appreciate the disturbing and disastrous offects of so radical a policy upon the general prosperity. But their efforts will be futile. There is but one rational and logical construction of the tariff plank of the democratic platform possible, and that has been glven it in clear and forceful terms by the candidate of the republican party. TRADE AND THE CROPS IN A comprohensive review of the con- dition of local trade and the crops will be found in this issue of THe Brk. It embraces returns from eighty-seven counties in Nebraska, and the showing made far more encouraging than we had supposed possible. The unusually Inte season and the continued rains delayed planting so long that many helioved a full erop for the year out of who question. The information pub- lished this morning is not obtained from land boomers or immigration organiza- tions, butis compiled from reports to the Omaha agency made by the local representatives and travelers of R. G. Dun & Co., a most conservative and generally aceurate authority upon mat- ters affecting the financial welfare of the country. The bright tinge which is given to the condensed statements in 0 many counties can, therefore, be relied upon as trustworthy, and per- sons interested in the growth and pros- perity of the state m: well congrat- ulato themselves upon the outlook. July and August are the trying months for corn, and that crop cannot be considered out of danger, but in spite of lute planting this king crop of Ne- braska is coming on with astonishing promise. Unless we have exceptionally dry weather and very early wili be an average yield the state. Small grain, flax and all the other crops, which are now maturing, saving the exceptions noted in the re- ports, are in a most satisfactory condi- tion. Harvest is almost on for all wheat and rye and barley. Spring wheat and oats are beginning to head with abund- ant moisture in nearly every section of the state. These erops are practically out of danger. It is worth while to note in passing the frequent mention of 1 or winter wheat. This crop has not usually cut much figure in the grain statistics of Nebraska. The southern tier of counties far west as Jefferson has usually har- vested considerable, but only within a few yoars has any attempt been made to grow winter whoat in the counties bor- dering the Platte river. The increased snowfall of the past five winters and the mildness of the season for four years are responsible probably for the success attending efforts to raise fall wheat, It is not too much to expect the winter wheat helt to extend sorth of the groat Nebraska river and this state to become a largo producer of this cereal. The improved financial condition of the farming communitics wiil be noted as a most striking feature of the reports, In not a single county is mention made of any degree of distress. The loc: banks everywhero are offering money at lower rates than heretofore, and in many attention is arrested by the infor- mation that tho farmers have large de- posits in the banks and are in easier circumstances than for years, They are paying off mortgago indebtedness stond- ily and refusing to contract new debts. In one county money is reported scarce for the reason that the farmers have expended their surplus in buying unim- proved land from nonrvesident specula- tors, Collections are reported good through- out the state and trade at local stores improving and profitable, These con- ditions are verified by the experience of Omaha jobbers, who are in many in- stances away behind in their orders and smiling over the promptitude with which their country bills are being met. Many country merchants who have hitherto taken the full limit of time on their purchases are discounting their bills and av the same time increasing their orders. The prices prevailing for all farm products, both grain and stock, appear likely to continue through the yoar. There is no indication anywhere of a surplus either in moats or breadstuffs; as a nutural and inevitable consequenco our farmers und stock growers may roasonably anticipate continued pros- perity, steady reduction of debt and the independence which only the succossful agriculturist can hope to enjoy. As we huve repeatedly said in these columns, the only business man who can safely laugh at financial catastrophes is the prudent, skillful farmer who owns his land, his stock, his implements and his buildings absolutely. He may not add to his surplus in off years, but if he owes no man anything he can never be forced into bankruptey by bank failures or other financial disastors, and his pro- ducts, stored in ample granavies, will sooner or later command’ remunerative prices. This promises to be the second farmers’ year and to be more profitable thun the lust, and with these boetter times to the farmers will como prosper- ity to all other lines of industry, highor prices for land, a rapid increaso of the agricultural population of the state and renewed commercial activity in all the citios. oness EBRASKA. frosts corn throughout WHEN the eity enters into o contract for any work it should hold the con- tractor to its fulfillment.

Ior in- nee, each .succeeding week of the vear has shown a handsome increase in the tabulated bank cleaving reports, until this week Omaha leads all the rest, with an increase of 48.8 per cent over tho corresponding woek of last year. Her stock market, too, is keep- ing pace with the wholesale interests of the city. Yesterday at the stock yards receipts were the smallest of the week, yet cattle advanced 10 to 15 cents and hogs 5 to 10 cents per 100 pounds, Six thousand, two hundred and ninety-nine head of hogs wore sold atan averago price of #5.35 per hundred. Cattle ranged up to $1.60. It is evidently Omaha’s year. ARRANGEMEN already perfocted assure a celobration of the Fourth of July surpassing in interest and en- thusiasm any public event in the history of this city, It will be a celebration which will appeal to the patriotism of the people. If it wero possible it would be well if every citizen of Nebraska could participate in it, and Omaha ox- tends a cordial invitation to everybody to como here on that day and to take part in what will be o most memorablo oceasion, Let no one remain away from a fear that the means of entertainment will bo insufficient.

The two first named died before the 1888 canvass and their states wentu republi- can. Barnum died in 1889 and Con- necticut has had a republican gov- ernor evér since, The democracy of New York is split jn twnin and Indiana has been abandoned to'the republicans. There is nothing to indicate any hope of the democrats carrying either of the three staty { THERE ought to bea strong bond of sympathy this year between the prohi- bitionists and the democrats. The con- ventions at Cincinnati and Chicago were in some respects very much alike. The majority and minority reports from the committee on resolutions were in both cases tho subjects off hot debate. Ia both cases there wasa wide difference upon the tariff question and in both the freo trade idoa prevailed. As their platform stanas, the prohibitionists are committed to a tariff plank that ought to excite great democratic admiration of the wisdom that dictated it. Tui school hoard ought to proceed without furtherdelny in the construction of the new schoolhouses which are to be built. The interests of hundreds of children of school age are involved in this matter, and it will be cause for very great regret if thoy are deprived of needed school accommodations through the neglect, indifferenco or apathy of the Board of Education. There is no public work of more urgent importance than this, and it should be pushed to completion as rapidly as is consistent with its proper performan: Tr 15 evident that there will be some powder burned in Omaha on the Fourth of July. The firoworks committee has over $1,000 at its disposal, and there are plenty of other people who have saved up some pennies to spend on this glor- on.

Chamberiain has been an agitator of tho most radical kind for many vears, but he basn’t even made a succoss of agitating. He is a member of the Kuights of Labor and an ofticer in the state assembly. McKeighan ropresents tho Fifth. He is temporarily roprosenting that district and a portion of the Iourth in congress. His tull name is Willinm Arthur McKoighan and his legal residencen is Rea Cloud. His biography, as prepared by himsolf for tho congressional directory, is as follows: He was born of Irish varents in Cumberland county, Now Jerscy, January 19, 1842; removed with his parents to Fulton county, 1llinos, in 1848, where he lived on a farm and attended the common school: enlisted 1n the Eleventh regimont, Iltinois c optember, 18615 at the close of the war aculcd ona farm near Pontiac, IiL; took an active part in oreanizing the farmers association; was electod vice prosi dent of the ighth congressional district; moved to Nebraska in 1530 and seitled on a farm reur Red Cloud; took an active interest in orgauizing the alliance: was clected county judgo of Webster county in 15555 in 1856 wa democratie candidate for congress avainst Hon.

V. Harlan, republican, and 1,220 votes for L. B. Palmer, prohibitionist, and 16 votos scattering. The Sixth district sends Judge William Neville as its delogate-at-large. The judge has been a prominent demoorat of western Nebraska for a number of yoars and was register of the United States land office at North Platte during the Cleveland adminis- tration, holding the office until the expiration of his commission, which was a year and a half under the republican rule. Mr. Nevilie was bora in Washington county, lllinois, Decembe: 1843, Ho attended McKendreo college until May, 1864, when he enlisted in company H, 1424 regiment, Illinois volun- teers. At the close of the war he becamoe a school teacher, Then he commanded a Mis- sissippl river steamboat and left his position to take up the study of law at Chester, Ill. In 1574 ho moved to Omaha and practiced law until 1877, when he located in North Platte. During his residence in Omaha he was elected to reprosent Douglas county in the Nebraska legislature. Last fall he was cloctea district judge on the independent ticket by a small majority, One of the district delegates from the First distriot is E. P. Ingersoli, who looks more like a successful business man than atiller of Nebraska soil. He is a New Yorker by birth, born in Ithaca, November 28, 1828, He attended during his school life Ithaca zeadomy, now the seat of Corneil university. When tho gold fever broke out in California, Mr. Ingersoll wus ono of the first men to join the ranls of the argonauts and crossed tho country in 40, a typical fer. In 1840 he loft New Yorik for Canton, Iil., and it was from the Illinois village be outfittea for the tiresome journey across the plains to the K1 Dorado of the west. After the abatement of the gold craze, lugersoll returned to Canton, 111, where he remained tili tho fall of 1576, when he settled in Johnson county, six miles beyond Tecumsoh, and begun farming. Previous 10 this time ne had been engaged in commercial pursuits, but farming Las since been his profession, the Lealthful climate of Nebraska bringing him vigor and ruggedness, \When the anti-monopoly movement of 1551 became the factor it did in Nebraska politics, Mr. Ingersoll, by reason of nis pronounced views and his ability, became tho leader of the party and was chosen the first president of the farmers alliance, whicn position he held for two terms, In 1552 ho was placed on the anti-monopoly ticket for governor, mich against his will, and made the fight, and tho ticket of ten years ago received & majority of the votes cast in Omaha and Douglas county. After the campaign Mr, Ingersoll retired from yolitics and, as be says, “‘went into his holo to emerge in tbis year of our T.ord, 1502, to help nominate the best mun possible for president on che people's ticket.,” Mr. In- gersoll, whilo an enthusiast in favor of his party’s principles, permits other men to dif- for from him. Ho is genial and companion- able, aud is likely to be neard from on the floor of tho convention. L AL REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE ECHOES, All the political 1nterest in Nebraska is not absorbed by the independents, as was conclusively shown by the attendance Thurs- day night at the meeting of the ropublican state central committee. Nearly every member of the committee was on hand, and candidates were there almost by the score. Whilo the meoting was in progress the opposite side of tho street was lined with a row of fleures which have been familiar at tho sessions of the legisiaturo for iany & yoar. Tho state house contingont was on hand in force, excopting, of course, the democratio governor and his satellites, The fixiug of the date of tho state conven- tion for August 4 will bring tho meoting just one day after the iudependent convention at Kearnoy, or If the iudependents boid over foc auother aay we will wituess the spec- tacle of two state couventions in session at once, & thing that has nover before happened 10 Nebraska. Two years 8go the state convention was bold at Lincolu July 24, the earliest in g year that @ stato convention had ever begn held in Nebraska, This year's conveution will beonly ten days behind that oi 1890, will but the real work of the camnaizn probably opon a great deal ecarlior than & did two years ago. Thoro was only one real strugglein the committes meoting and that was over tne apportionment.

This medicine, for nearly fifty years, has enjoyed a reputation, and made a record for cures, that has never been equaled by other preparations. AYER'S Sarsaparilla eradicates the taint of he- reditary scrofula and other blood dis- cascs from the system, and it has, deser- vedly, the confidence of the people. AVER S Sarsaparilla “I cannot forbear to express my joy at the relief T have obtained from the use of AYER'S Sarsaparilla. T was afllicted with hidney, troables for about! iz months, suffering greatly with pains in the small of my back. In addition to this, my body was covered with pimply eruptions, The remedies prescribed failed to help me. I then began to take AYER'S Sarsaparilla, and, in a short time, the pains ccased and the pimples Qisappeared. I advise every young man or woman, in case of sickness result- ing from impure blood, no matter how long standing the case may be, to take AYER'S Sarsaparilla.”—H. L.
