A majority of the delegates chosen by the republican convention of Douglas county have oxpressed their preference for Dave Morcer as the candidate for congross in this distnict. To pit a man of Dava Morcer’s calibre against Judge not morely a reflection upon the moral standing of our party, but an insult to the self respect of an intelli- gent community. What claim has Dave Meroer upon the people or party for a , in congress? His career in Omaha began in Union Pacific headquarters as as a third-rate clerk, from which he was promoted to the raiiroad oil-room lobby. The work of this lobby was to debauch and corrupt the legislature into voting down measures in the interest of tho people and promoting the intorests of the corporations and jobbers. The monns used to bring abovt thisend wore cards, liquor and lowd women, Once in the meshes of the oil-room lobby the people’s reprosentatives became the pliant tools and creatures of their se- ducers, This is tho only line of businees which Dave Mercer has pursucd with somo de- gree of success. His efforts at the prac- tico of law wero a flat failure. The po- sition he holds as deputy marshal and bailiff can hardly be considered as the proper stepping stone for the national legislature. And what claim has Dave Mercer upon the party for services as a political worker? As chairman of the city com- mittee that conducted the campaign threo years ago he permitted tho cam- paign fund to go into the hands of treacherous ana thieving members of the committee who had formed a con- spiracy to defeat the hend of the ticket for democratic boodle. Instead of warn- ing the candidates, he deliberately closed his enrsand eyes and led the ticket to Slaughter. The result was the election of Cushing and the formation of the boodle combine in the council. For two years Dave Mercer has used his position as chairman of the county committeo to lay his pipes and pack the caucuses and conventions. By the help of certuin federal officials who ought to be interested in building up the party instead of wrecking it, he has carried his point. 1f the convention that meets today is reckless enough to nominate Moreer for congress, it must take the responsibility of inevitable disaster. This paper cannot, and will not, stultify iteelf by endorsing or supporting a man whose name appears in the tell-tale Capital hotel ledger now on deposit in this office, by the side of Vandervoort, Crawford aud other cappers, whose whisky bills, wine and cigar blls mounted up to over $2,500 during one legislative session and weve paid by the chief of the lobby of one of the great railroads, We repeat onco more, and for the last time, that we have no candidate to foist upon the party, but simply desire that the party shall present for the people’s suffrages cleanand reputable candidates. A POLICY OF REVERSAL, Mr. Whitelaw Reid pointedly states the case in saying that what the demo- rtic party now proposes is not a modi- ion of existing conditions, but a re- versal. Hitherto that party has been content to propose changes while main- taining the principle which is at the foundation of national progress and prosperity, but now it is pledged to sweep away the principle, on the ground that there 1s no constitutional authority for maintaining it. Thus it would, if it had the power, unless the declaration of the Chicago platform was intended to be meaningless, abandon the system of protection that has prevailed for thirty years and to which the business of the country is adjusted, though doing this would produce u commercial convulsion more disastrous than any the country has ever experienced. Of course demo- crats will say that their party has no such purpose, but it is to be remem- bered that the platform utverance re- garding protection was not made thoughtlessly, but after deliberate eon- sideration, and while it did not receive the unanimous endorsement of the con- vention it had the support of nearly two-thirds of the delegates, so that it must be regarded as expressing the set- tled conviction of a very lurge majority of the party. If it was not intended to execute the proposed policy, what must be thought, in the language of Presi- dent Harrison, of a party that is capable of thus trifling with great interests, for the threat of such legislaiion would only bo less hurtful than the fact. This is a matter that appeals with great force to the business, the produc- ing and the labor interests of the coun- try. Docs uny one of these find the ex- isting conditions so unsatisfactory as to warrant a desire for a sudden and com- plete reversal at the risk of a general convulsion? Can uny rational man have a doubt as to what would he the consequences of sweoping away at once a policy under which the industries and business of tho country have been growing for the last thirty years? Even the apprehen- sion of a modifieation of that policy has invariably produced more or less busi® ness disturbance, and it is inevitable that its reversal would result in finan- ciul und commereial cbaos. Enterprise would hult, capital would not seek in- vestment, labor would be thrown out of © mployment and stagnation would take the pluco of prosperous activity. No mun can say how long this state of af- fairs would continue, but it would cer- tainly last long enough to cost the Americun people an enormous 1oss of wealth, to check the material progress of the country for many years, and to piace the people of the United States where they were before oprotection be- cumo the nutional policy, at the merey of British wmanufacturers, As was s.id by Mr. Roid, every business man, whate over his party convictions or his politi- cal prejudices, knows, as a cold busi- ness proposition, that the complete re- versul of the oxisting order of things demanded by the demoeratic party in its present platform, as to the tariff, as to reciprocity and as to the currency, would necessuvily unsettle business for the next eighteen months or two years. The uncertainties which must exist pending such a change, as to its possi- bility or its scope, would be, throughout their duration, the worst possible ob- THE struction to business. Tho fact that the radical threats of the democratio party have not seriously impalred the genoral confidence or slaockened the activities of business is because tho business inter- ests of the country have such faith in the common sense of the American peo- ple ns to believe that there is to be no change. A YE. WORK. The annual address of Peesident Pago of the Manufucturers and Consumers association of Nebraska, which was pro- sonted at the meeling of the board of directors held yesterday afternoon, con- tained much interesting information concerning the progress of the work of the association during the past year and some valuable suggestions as to 1ts con- tinuance and enlargement during the year upon which it has now entered. The Manufacturera and Consumers association was organized in September of last year. Its object wasto secure the co-operation of manufacturers, deal- ors and consumers in an effort to pro- mote the various industrial and com- marcial enterprises of this state upon the basis of home patronage. Pegin- ning with a comparatively small mem- bership made up chiefly of Omaha busi- ness men it has grown with great rapidity during the first year of its ex- istence and now embraces a membership of 177 firms represonting all of the im- portant towns in Nebraska. As u result of the house to house canvass made in overy city of the state, 10,964 families were pledged to home patronago, and counting five persons to the family it is estimated that 54,800 people in this state are thus committed to the support of the industries and enterprisos repre- sented by this association. Thus far those who have joined this army of homo patrons have lived up to their agreement, and as a result great pro- gress has been achieved in the building up of the various industries of the state. Hundreds of men and women are now omployed in consequence of this move- ment and the number will be greatly creased before the close of another year. The firms who are members of the Man- ufacturers association employ at least 10,000 people,, and it is estimated that the members of the association and their amilies and employes together aggre- te 83,020 persons. The total number of consumers who are practically pledged to sustain the work of the organization is placed at 82,700, The exposition held by the Manufac- turers association in Omaha last June was a great success in every way. The Qisplay of Nebraska-made goods sur- prised all visitors by its extent, variety and excellence. The exhibition was seen by about 20,000 psople from all parts of this state and neighboring states, and in addition no less than 14,000 school children were admitted. The exposition served its purpose ad- mirably, affording the public an oppor- tunity to see what the manufacturers of Nebraska can do, and at the same time proving very successful from a finan- cial point of view. A largely increased number of em- ployes in the factories of the state is one of the most important results achieved by tho first year’s work of the Manufac- turers association. Tt is estimated that no less than 550 have been added to our wage-earning class by this means. The business of all local firms has been y increased and a feeling of mu- tual interest and sympathy has been croated that is certain to produce good results in the future. A friendly senti- mentof mutual interest and depondence has also arisen between the various cities of thostute, and the importance of promoting and fostering the interests of Nebraska has come to be thoroughly understood and appreciated by all, President Page’s report laid much stress upon the advantage to be gained by cultivating a feeling of mutual sym- pathy and common interest between employer and employe. It is worthy of note that this very result has been one of the conspicuous fruits of the work of the Manufacturers association, It has been brought about by the recognition of the fundamental principle of mutual helpfulness upon which the association is founded, and it issafe tosay that nowhere in the couutry does a better feeling prevail between capital and labor than in thoe state of Nebraska. The association has done very wisely in re-olecting W. A, Page as its presi- dent for another year, Ho has devoted a great deal of intelligent thought and labor to the work and the success that has crowned his efforts proves that he is the right man for the place. Under the wiso direction of its president, and those who share the work with him, the Manufacturers association is sure to jus- tify the highest hopes and expectations of its friends. MR. CLEVELAND'S SURRENDER. There can be no further doubt as to Mr, Cleveland having made a closo alliance with Tammany, and thereby surrendered whatever independence he heretofore enjoyed as the leader of his party, The authority of Mr. Charles A, Dana inthis matter is conclusive, for few men have so close an intimacy with the Tammany managers as the editor of the New York Sun. Referring to the conference some ten days ago between Mr. Cleveland and Murphy, Croker and Sheohan, Mr, Dana states that it “involved no less a question than whether Mr. Cleveland was to be hereafter esteewmed as for or against the party; whether he was henceforth to be counted with the dem- ocrats or with fhe peculiar partisans who Lave persistently and venomously mado war upon them in his name,” veference being had to the mugwumps. According to Mr. Dana, Mr, Cleveland on this memorable occasion *‘gave a full and emphatic assurance that he appre- ciated the nature of the . situation, and that in cuse of his election he would be a democrat and not & mugwump., He promised that in the future his influ- ence should invariable be exerted on the side of the democrats and against their enemies.” The meaning of this is that if the people of the United States give Mr. Cleveland the power to again dis- pense public patronage he agrees that Tammany shall control , the federal offices in the ofty of New York—that the most corrupt and rapacious and un- scrupulous political organization in the OMAHA DAILY BLL country shall have the privilege of suy- ing who shall fikf fhose offices, which of course amounts to permitting Tam- manyites to tule possassion of them. Tt was o disgrfeaful sucrendor for Mr. Clevelaud to makeybut it sorves to show his inm-.lumm,ami.mnn to be agnin president, It sught to alienate from him thousands of the better class of democrats in New York and elsewhere who are familffr wfth Tammany and know that any @lighce with that organ- ization cannot bsimitho intorest of the public good. As to'the element in New York which, while jealling themselves independents, havawith groat uniform- ity supported the democratic party and been cspectally lgyal to Mr. Cleveland, it would seem that this action of the ex- president must disillusionize them. “The mugwump,” exclaims Mr. Dann, “is plainly soen as having lost his place in politics,”.but Mr. Cleveland may find that he has not thorefore entirely lost his potency. The democratic party in the Empire state cannot afford to lose this eloment. 1t is evident that Mr, Cleveland and his managers are extremely anxious about the situation in New York. The position of the party regarding the tariff and its demand for a restoration of state bunk ourrency has driven many business men from its support, and in the state at large there is ronson to be- liove it is steadily losing ground. The outlook for republican success in New York is better now than 1t was at this stage of the campaign four years ago. A POLITIC. Tho history of politcal camp: this country affords no parallel to the case of Charles F'. Peck, commissioner of labor statistics in the state of New York. A committee representing tho managers of the Cleveland campaign has undertaken toinvestigate Mr. Peck’s report and prove that it is not truthful. With this end in view the committce called upon Mr. Peck the other day and demanded access to the original reports from tho 6,600 manufacturers in the state upon which the vecent vepors of the com- missioner was bused. Thelatter refused to comply, and it appears that he has de- stroyed the original papers containing the reports of the manufacturers. For this tho democratic managers are now trying to convict him of a misde- meanor. It happens that the law creating the office which C nmnu«xoxmr Peck holds explicitly proviles that he shall not compel anyone to answer questions as to his private business. The sources of in- formation upon which his recent report is founded are theresore of a confiden- tial nature, It was oxpressly stipulatod in the blanks which le sent out that the answers would be so regarded. Justico and honor are on his side when he main- tains that he has no right to violate the pledges which he made to those who gave him the information which he sought. The democratic national com- mittee is enleavoring to compel him to recede from a position in which he is amply supported by the law that created his office. When Mr. Peck was interviewed by the investigating conmimittee—a commit- tee invested with no-legal authority whatever—he ask If my report had been diametrically different would you ve come here to question my figures?” The answer was: “‘No, not personally. Then the republicans would have been hunting you.” "here could be no plainer proof than this that the democratic inquisitors are actuated by the meanest motives. They do not even make a pretense of acting in behalf of any public interest. Itis openly avowed that the investigation has no other object than to destroy the force of the commissioner’s report, which conclusively shows the advan- tages of the protective tarifl. By what right does the democratic national com- mittee assume to sit in judgment upon an official report because it happens to be unfavorable to free trade? In with- holding the original reports the commis- sioner exercises an undoubted moral right, and in so doing he is also jro- tected by the plain letter of the law. Whether he had alegal right to destroy the originals or not is another question, but it does not affect the real merits of the cuse in any event. He could not havo been compelled to make them pub- lic at the demand of a committee of po- litical inquisitors, so it matters little whother they are destroyea or not. THE union in Alabama of the people’s party and the Kolb faction of the democ- racy is causing the rogular democratic organization some uneasiness. ' It s said to be entirely satisfactory to the leading acpublicans of the state. This combina- tion was defeated at the state election in August by high-handed fraud, but the managers propose that this shall not be repeated in November, They intend to take every possible precaution against being again defrauded and will call upon the United States authorities for what- over protection to voters thoy can give, Kolb predicts the defeat of the regular democrats by 40,000, in which event the electoral vote will go to Weaver. The movement will be supported by repub- licans genevally, the more prominent of whom think it has the best kind ot a chance to win, The progress of the con- test will be watghed with general in- terest. THE Burlington is raprdly pushing its line toward Sheriddn, Wyo,, and will be running trains into that town by Novem- ber1, This will place Omaha in com- munication with ‘another flourishing town whose trade will naturally flow this way. Sheridan already has a popu- lation of 1,000 and is .growing rapidly. The agricultural and mineral resources of the region in which it is situated will make it a thriving city in & few yoars. — A VERY pertinent question at this time is: Where did Dave Mercer and his ex-partner, Eller, get the $675 which they deposited in one of our national banke immediately oa the heels of Lin- inger’s defeat and cushlnx s election as mayor? —_— MAssACHUSETTS furnishes statistics which refute the assertions of the dem- orats and the calamity people. The re- port of the bureau of labor statisties of that state shows that the average num- ber of persons employed in manufacturs SDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1892, ing industries was larger in 1891 than in 1890, und there was a higher average of wages in the former than in the latter year. The facts givon bear evidence to tho stimulating effect of the tariff act of 1800 upon the investment of eapital in industrios. The showing made is quite s satisfactory as that of the report of the bureau of labor statistics of New York. It is not to be doubted that what truo of these two states is equally true of the other manufacturing states of tho oast, and it is obvious that the eredit for this improved condition must be given to the present tarif law. Tho growth of most industries in 1591 was undoubtedly maintained, and in many casos inc d, during tho cur rent year, and thore is every reason to expect that tho labor statistics of 1802 will show a goneral advance over last year. All the evidence shows a stoady industrial development, and if the vepublican party is successful next November it can be safely predicted that the ensuing two years will witness a remarkable growth of American in- dustries, Now that the Transco ntinental Traf fic association has practically gone to pieces and freight rates what demoralized condition, it is the manifest duty of Omaha to take steps at once to revive, reorganize and equip the freight bureau. This is very likely to be the aupreme opportunity and upon the action of Omaha at this important time will depond our treatment for the future by the freight managors, That there are unjust discriminations against Omaha no one at all acquainted with the facts can deny, and it is patent to all that the very best remedy for correcting this evil atany timeis a freizhu bureau, And at this time tardiness and slothful- nesa can only be interpreted as disloy- alty to this ciuy’s interests and very efficient means toward attaining com- mercial suicide. Tk approach of fall has considerably increased the number of building per- mits issued in Omnha, and although there are fow building enterprises of importance on foot, itis evident that there is inereased activity in that line. Tt is said that con ctors in all lines of work have difticulty in finding all the workmen they want, which proves that if any are idle they are so from choice and not from necessity. But no public or private building enterprise need be abandoned on thataccount, for there are always workmen out of employment somewhere, and supply will always gravitate toward the source of demand when the demand becomes known. If a thousand more workmen were needed in Omaha they would find their way here shortly. THE democrats of Jowa and elsewhore are shouting gleefully overw‘the de- sortion by Judge Day of the republican party.” This is very stulonews, indeed. The judge came out openly for Boios last year and has been asulker for about eight years, ever sinco he failed of re- nomination by the republicans for the supremo bench. He is an abloand up- right man, and his retirement was not right, but it is to be regretted that he allowed this personal injustice to lead him away from his honest convictions. T proposed air lino railroad across the continent from New York to San Francisco, for which it is claimed sur- veys have been made and charters se- cured in several states, looks remark- ably well on paper. It is to cost only $700,000,000, and that t ng sum is to be furnished by English capitalists. As the rond is expected to pay for itself within six years it will be seen that the English capitalists have a great honanza. SouTH OMAHA has temporarily aban- doned the city hall scheme and is now talking of securing rooms for the vari- ous departments of the city government s0 that they can be concentrated in one building instead of being scattered as they are now. The thing of prime im- portance is a safe place for the public records, If this can be secured the city hall project can wait indefinitely. THERE is a very livoty split in the democratic party of the Council Blufts district on free silver, and the defection is led by L. T. Gonung of Mills county, who was defeated for the democratic nomination and is now espousing the candidate of the peoplo’s party. This is good ovidenco that a republican will be elected in that distict by a large majority. Aro You Ready for the Question? New York Reeorder, Stop immigration, and stop it now !
