He referred to the wondorful growth of this country during the jast thirty soars and claimed 1t had been devaloped under the aystem of protection and the financia! system of the republican party. Taking up the question of per capita circu- lation ne referrea to the plaus in the peo- ple's party platform demanding that the circulating medium be $30 per capita. Mr. Meiklejohn showed by statistics that the bank deposits per capita of the peonie of the state of Nevraska are now #0. Refernng 'o the income tax. he asked the people if they preferred to raise the large amount of & pecessary to run the gove ernment by taxing ineir iucomes, as thev were taxed during the war, when every business ana profession was taxed save the mioistry, when every deed, note and re- ceipt was taxed, in preference to the present system of raisiug the revense by a pro tective tarifl. He showed the absurdity of the land loun scheme and subtreasury plan by pointing out as an iliustration the Ar- gentine Republic, where the same scheme bankruptea tue y and fiooded that country fair land with & currency worth 3 cents on tne dol r. The subtreasury, he declared, offered ereater opportunities for cornering the grain markots thin 8y scheme ever inverted by +0ld Haten. o Mr. Poynter the Other Side. followed in a forty-five minutes speech. o the bexinning Le said that be wanted it understood that be ad- mitted that the republican party was re- spousible for the wonderful development of this country and the great increase in wealth during tue lastahbirty years. He arraigned the republican party for cheapening the necessaries of life and said that cheap cloth- iug meant cucap mep. He defendea the io- come tax plank, but_dodged tne subtreasury und the land Jozn bill. He declared that the government stamp was all that was neces- sary 1o create money.

PMr. Melulejohn replied in a fifieen minutes talk. He auswered all the arzuments ad- vanced by Mr. Poynter. Mr. Poynter had challenged Mr. Meiklejonn to show where Jabor bad been benefiied by protection. Mr. Meiklejohu quoted the report of Lavor Com- missioner Peck of New York, showing that the wages of the laboring men bad been raised ip the stateof New York since the enaciment of the McKinley bill. In conclusion he said that ne couid forgive 1he soldiers of the south for what they bad dove, but that he could not forget. He ssked why the couutry sboald formet the eroic deeds of an army that was grander toan Hannibuls, Caesar's or Napolean' He asked tte young men if they aid not bave & motber thaibud buried a son; if they waated to forget the memories of their dead.

Joint Debate at Neligh. eLicn, Neb, Sept. 28.—[Special Tele- gram 1o IHE Bre]—At the fair grounds todsy Cancidates Mciklejobn and Poynter met 15 joint devate. Mr. Meiklejohn bad the opening and waded &l ouce into ibe issues of e day, taking up the tarifl first. He went back in 'the bistory of the country and com- pared the four eras of free trade” with the Jour eras of proteciion, CONLrasting the pros- perity of the one with tue depressiou of the other, The uation's credit, he said, had been improved by the wise policy of the re- publican pariv, until now the government securities were eagerly sought at & premium, whoereas vnder the old rule it was bard for the United States to. borrow mosey w0 15 per ceut interest Hedid not think that the people were ready 10 #0 back to those old freetrade dars. 1u the south the sites of the auction block ana slave markeis were occupied by busy factories, built up and made possible by the policy of protection. The direct results of tho McKiuley tariff, as shown in the estab- lLishment oi tin mills in 1bis country, were Sortrayed and the figures supporting the Statements of the speaxer were quoted. He also gave figures showing bow e hardware trade of this country Lad grown, while the cost to the coasumer bad been lessened Ly the tarifl. Tie charge that strikes were the result of protective tariff was answered by a showing of the numver of strikes in free trade Eng- land. “Increasing the numoer of factories iocreases the cousumption of ducts,” sala Mr. Meiklejoha, 15 oue 0! the benefits the farmer bas derived from the tanfl. We now buve a bome mar- et for 9 per cent of our farm products, and the demand is growin instesd of falliug off On the Fioanclal Question. On the financial questions th r @welt at some length, takiog up and com- batting iu order the various provositions of the independent party made in the Owaba utform, and ending with a vivid picture of e future greatoess of America under the carrying out of tbe republican policy, Mr. Poynter opeued his address with the statement that ne, too, bad the prde of the mnation &t heart, wapled proper legislatioc. He opened on the republican party, lak- ing & stand directly opposite to that of Mr+ Meiklejobn. Under the poiicy of protection, be usserted, the farmers of the west were bled for the capitalists of the east. Too statements made of the per capita wealth of the natwou were wmisleading. The New Euglanders absorbed tbe wealll produced in the west and south, sud tbe farmers get wpolbisg. Ralroad greed, trust mauipulation of prices sud corporation domination of evers- 1hing in sight were used in their order as arzuments in favor of a change of policy. Mr. Meikiejebn closed the debate w a short answer to the arguments of Mr. FPoyoter, and as 8 pariing soot askea Poyu- ter why it was bLis bired man did nol make as much oul of the farm &s he (Pornter) did.

Ixpraxors, Neb,, Sopt. 23.—|Special Tele- gram 1o Tae Bee | —Mr. Edward Rusewater addressed the people at the fair groands this afternoon, speaking for an bour aud & half. The avdience contained & fair sprinklive of indcpendents, who were anxious o compare Van Wrck's speech of yosterday with Mr. Rosewater's today. The most respectful at- tention was given taroughout the speeches, which were well received by all parties present. The speaker bezan by quotiug the famous saying of Dean Swift, tnat ibe man who causes two blades of grass to grow where but one grew before 1s a public benefactor, and adoed that the man who accompiished thiat rendered his country & greater service than all the race of politicians put tegether. He rtated that if the public s to take tue new reform party at its word Nebraska is a £000 country to emigrate from. He then proceeded to review the aemand of the peo- pie's party and showed up the fallacy of pro- posiug o wake all men rich by a siroke of toe pen. lll\u speaker fully discussed the nature and use of money and showed conclusively that with the present larre and constavtly iu- creasiag output of silver, the free coluage of silver would drive gold out of ulation, reopen the Wall sct food gambling dens aud pat willions of money into the pockets of the ownersof silver mines at the expense of all other industries. R money is u made of paper, but_can be created ¥ 1avor, whether in the miniag of silver ana gold, which are commodiuies, or the farw or in thy work shops. He replied fully to Van Wrek's fiat money tbeories quoted from the history tries in proof that wild Lave always resulted in financial ruin- mentioning in particular the Argentine Re, puvlic, witn its $100 per capita of cheap money. He oxplained that no honest man cau pay his debls excapt in moner of equal value with thal upon which the debt was cat schem spoke of the good old times of 1864, 4 musiin sold at 40 cents per yard, spool cotion at 15 cects, lumber”at §1 & taousatd, und when everstbing from the cradle to the erave bad to b stamped, while the proceeds of lavor did not have hulf the purchasing Dower it has now. He uext turned to tne transportation quéstion and showed that while the leaders of the new party clamor for relief they have fiever made’ a single effort to procure it. They talk about buying up the rairoad and telegraph lines, but be- sides having nothing to buy them with, they have never even arafted e bill to show their sincerity in the matter. From Plcfter to McKeighan not an independeut in congress has taken a single step loward the purchas of raireags or teiegraph lines. Vaa Wyc says he 1s in favor of a reduction of freight rates, but when be wasin ibe senate be re fused to assist in passiig & bill for that pur- pose. The speaker spoke from personal knowl- edge of extravagance of the last legisiature and showed that it had spent over $200,000 more of the people’s money Lhan its MAst ex- travagant predecessor. Thei legisiature promised the farmers that they would pat down the Shylock, but bave tnsy doacit! Mr. Rosewater closed by saving that be be- lievea the rank and file of the party to be hovest. but they were being lea by men whose ouly object was to get electea 10 office. DEMOCRATIC NIGHT.
