E——— Tue council has by resolution sug- gested the appointment of & special committee on charter amendments und itis expected that citizens generally will meet with this cowmitteo in order that proposed amendments wuy be fully discussed. This is un important matter and deserves the attention of every tax- payer of Omaha, THE BEE invites aoy gitizen to make suggestions portinent to this subject through its columns BFFECTS OF FREE SUGAR. Before sugar was put on thoe free list by a republican congress the annual con- sumption was 50 pounds per capita. It is now nearly 70 pounds, and according to woll-informed authority is dily in- croasing. The probabilities are that at no very distant period the annual per eapita consumption will reach 100 pounds, A writer on this subject says: “By the close of the century our popu lation will no doubt be 80,000,000, If we then consume 100 pounds per capita our consumption will be 4,000,000 tons, ns compared to a consumption of 50 pounds per capi for 63,000,000 of people in 1890, or 1,570,000 tons, an addition to the carrying trade of the country of 2,430,000 tons of {reight.” The saving to con- sumers in the meantime amounts to many miilions of dollars annually. In addition to this, free sug entering wedgo to open to us the enor mous trade of the West Indies and South Ameri It has reopened to us the con- tinent of Burope for our pork products. An enormous and rapidly inc ing consumption of sugar gives this countey a most valuable influence with all sugar producing countries, oo sugar, with asmall bounty to the homs producer, did not adve affect o single indus- try in the United States. 1t was a bless- ing toevor in the land, without a 4 The advocates of so-called eiff re. form are not tavorable to free sugar, Some of them have had the courage to declare themselves. But whether they do this or not it would hs impossi- bio to institute such a tariff policy as the democratic party proposes and re- tain sugar on the feee list, If the dem- ocraey should obtain control of the gov- ernment and carry out its plan of tariff reform as it has heen outlined by Mills, Springer and of leaders, sugar duties would b wdisponsable to provide the tro with nesessary revonue. The domoeratic party is also opposed to any bounty on sugar, and this provision for encouraging the homo production of sugar would be abandoned as soon as the party got into power. A tion of the duties on sugar and the with- drawal of all encournzement to the home production of that articlo would certainly o winong the consequences of democratic control of the government, with the inevitable resvlt of increasing the price of sugar to the censumer. The benelicial effcets of republican islation placing sugar on the free list s elear and unmistaka Not only is free suzar the basis of our reciprocity treaties with sugar producing countries, but it has saved to the people what was a direet tax of more than $5(,000,000 an- nually, At the same time the moderate bounty on sugar of home production has created an industry already of consider- able proportions, and which there is every reason to believe will grow to large proportions if the encouragement benot withdrawn, Assuredly the Amer- ican people do not desire this legislation swopt uway and areturn to the old state of things, but they may expect it if the atic party is successful at the coming clection. 80 151 restor 01 Tt is reiterated with tiresome persist- ency by the democratic oratorsand press that this country wants a change of ad- ministeative policy, and yet, curiously enough. tho men who are so deeply stirred by tho force of their convictions on this subjeet appear to be entirely un- able to explain, upon uny substantial is of facts, why such a feeling of dis- wetion and such u longing for dewo- ndancy shouid exist, Does it t at all, and if so, why? Cer- tainly not because the condition of the people is so desperate thut they are pre- pared to embrace vagus promises of bet- ter government that are founded upon notlring more tangible thun the assortion that the protective tariff is a system of robbery. Even if this assertion were not plainly at variance with facts that are daily before the oyes of the public it would not be accepted by thinking men, for it docs nov appeal to the reason. Iiven the democrats themselves ta it with such modifications as suit their in- dividual consciences, and it isdiflicult to find two members of that party of any prominence who are at all agreed as Lo what kind of tariff legisiation the country needs. No doubt exists in the mind of any thoughtful man, however, that the elevation of the democracy to power would resultin the triumphof the free trade element. That element con- trolled the Chicago convention and it would control the legislative and exceu tive branches of the government if the democrats should gain the power which they are now seeking. The question that the democracy has been asked ovor and over again to answer 1s this: Do the people waat a change? and 1f so, why? Iestimony from all sources is uniformly to the effect that the country is prosperous 10 a degree nover before known, and that in every department of activity the people ave in better condition as to business, wages, the cost of living and everything else than they ever were before, While such a state of things exists it devolves upon those who are demunding o change to give the bost and most convinving sons therefor or else retire from the controversy and censs to worry the public mind with adle and empty talk. MR. BLAINE ON RECIPROCITY, In his magazine article on the issues of the campaign, ex-Secretary Blaine gives conspicuoas consideration to reci procity, of which he remarks that “'there is no subject with which the party of free trade atruggles more des- perately.” When the democratic party tries to discredit this poliey it cites the fact that our exports to Brazil have not been very greatly increased under it as evidence thatitisa *sham and a hum- bug,” although, as Mr. Blaine says, the narrowest treaty of reciprocity thav was negotiated with any country was with Brazil, Itisa country in which time is especially needed to change the lines of commerce, and there is good reason to expect that ultimately Brazil will show as good results, proportionately, as an other country Mr. Blaine points out that the op- ponents of reciprocity, “with the wis- dom of the serpent,” never refer to re- sults with the Leeward and Wind ward islands, fifteen in number, Jamaica and THE | Burbadoes, with which our whole del- ing i in agricultural products, and which consider themselves, commer- cially, almost a part of the United States. Nearly every dollar expended by those islands for agricultural pro- ducts comes 1o this covntry, so that by means of reciprocily we have secured this considerable number of people to be annually supplied from the products of our farms, Fqually caveful is the dem ocratic campaigner not to summon Cuba 10 bear testimony to the worth of recipro The fact that during the past year our exports to that island in- croasad 85 per cent confounds him. statistics show that for the first half of 1892 the exports of flour from the United es to Cuba amounted to 857, 000 barrels, against 14,000 during the samo period of 1891, Undoubtedly the trade movement of next year will show still larger gains, Certainly there is no “sham” about these figures, and hence they are nevor quoted or referred to by tic opponents of reciprocity Another important point to he consid- ered is that by this policy we ave en- deavoring to increaso our veade in the right direction. While fora series of years the balance in our trade with Furope has been 10 our favor, the trade balance with Spanish America has an- nually been largely against us, Ree procity is the fivss attempt at a chango, and it has already reduced the adverse balanee to an appreciable extent. “1f pported and encouraged,” says Mr. Blaine, “‘reciprocity will be the means of greatly lessening what has so long been an enormous balance against us in Spanish America,” The fact that England, Germany and France havo manitested groat ansiety regarding the suc of this American policy and have made oarnest efforis to defent it is pretty conclusive evidence that itisagood policy for the United ates toadhere to. There is no class of the people 8o much interested in maintaining reciprocity as the agricul- tural class, and if there were nothing else involved in the presidential election this would furnish a suflicient reason why the farmers should support the republican tick Tho HERE IS AN EXAMPLE, One of the oldast cities in the United states is Philadelphia and it is gener- ieved to be tho slowest of all n cities. But, according to figures given in a recent census bul- letin, thoe industries of that city werein- creased in number from 224 1n 1880 to 289 in 1800, the number of establish- ments increased 8,567 in 1880 to 18,148 in 1890 and the capital 1nvested increased from $187,148,857 in 1880 to $362,805,272 in 1890. During the same period the num- ber of hands employed increased from 185, 3,073, the amount of wages paid increased from $64,265,965 to $152,- 436,268; the cost of material increased from $199.155,477 to $302,623,539 and the value of the product from $324,342,935 Lo $564, 762, In the decade foc which these comparisons are made the popula- tion of the city of Philadelphia - creased from 847,170 to 1,046,064 and the assessed valuation increased from $581,- 729, 294, while tho muni pal debt was groatly decreased. The average annual wages in the city of Philudelphia incrensed from $346 in 1880 to $ in 189), an increase of per cent. If we leave outall other considera- tious the increase in the wages of men employed 1n Philadelphia should com- mand attention. It appears that in ten years the wages of men employed in in- dustrial pursuitsin that city have in- crensed nearly 53 per cent. Itis not difficult to account for this. Where business increases the wages of em- ployes must be advanced. It 1s clear from tho figures above given that there has been a wonderful growth in the in- dustries of Philadelphia and that tis wages of employes have been corre- spondingly increased. This is only one example among thou- sands. All over the United States the same story of increased business and im- proved wages is told. There can be no doubt in the mind of any ional man as to tho enuso of this prosperity, It is due to the policy of protection to home industry The free traders say that the people are being robbed by the warif, but so long us business increases and wages constantly grow better thero will pe a strong protective sentiment among the people. Tho statistics above given arc confined to a single city, but they may be taken as rapresenting the growth of industrial enterprises and the increase of wages in every city in tho United States. Ifan old and slow city like Philadelphia can show an increase of mora than 59 per cont in wages in ten years the young cities of the west can do better. WEAVER was defented in 1888 for con- gress in the Sixth Towa distvict by J, F. Lacey, the republican candidate. This year Lucey has bsen again nominatod and his opponents aro White, democrat, and Owens, populist. If Weaver was a sincere man he would aid Owens all he can, but he is 50 angry at Lacey because of his defeat four years ago that he has advised all the populists of that district in an open letter to vote for White. Owens was regularly nominated by a regular people’s party convention and Weaver’s refusal to champion his cause stamps tho populist leader as a man destitute of principle and displays him in his true rolo of assistant-democrat, Will Mrs, Lease explain Weaver's don- sistency?

None of the presidential or state pluralities below Harlem sinco the republican party sprang into existence havo been great eaough to overcome that of President Harrison above except tho gubernatorial vote of Cleveland ana Hill—the first caused by a republican bolt and the second, almost infinitesimal, attributable to the liguor vote. Neither are considered by the Washington Stac in weighing the chauces of a presidentisl elec- tion, as both wore the resuit of extraordinary causes not now operating. Tha test vote in 1858 was that for the presidency. It will ba noted that Mr. Cieveland’s total vote for governor in 1832 was less than Hancock’s for president in 1880, yet Cleveland's plurality reached the wonderful figure of 192,854 in the state, while Hancock lost it by 21,083, In 1882 he republicans revoited against muchine methods and simply declined to go to the polis. Cleveland’s total for governor was 115,020 less than President Harrison’s total in 1885, ‘I'he next largest plurahity below Harlem was that cast for Governor Flower in 1801, which was 70,601, out of a total of only 432,590, over 44,000 less than the total of tho 1ive counties in 1888, which was L The plurality of Mr. Fassett, the n candigato for gov- ernor, was smaller than ever thrown above Harlem in a presidential year since 1556, being only 31,664, or 54,000 léss than that of Goneral Harrison. Governor Flower's ag- gregato vote in the stalo was over 53,000 less than Mr. Cleveland’s, and yet Flower was eclected by 4 plurality, while Cleveland was dsfeited by 14,373 plurality. President Harrison’s voto would have defeated Flower by 20,000 plurality.
