And Euclid doesn’t look liko a ghoul-muker. —— To BE suve, thero is some evidence in Nebraska politics that the indopendents are slightly inclined to permit them- selves to be used by the democrats, but it I8 not g0 sure that they love Governor Boyd enough to vote him a cabinet po- sition, Tue sickly attempts by certain demo- crats hereabouts to revive the prohibi- tion issvo us an element in this cam- paigu depress the ordinary mind protty much as does the humorous flashes of our unesteemed contemporary down the Btreet. — Sourn OMANA'S Ootober vecord of stock yards veceipts wus the best month’s showing yet mude by those yards. The receipts for October of last year, which had been the groitest, were 78,000 head of cattle, while Octwober of this year shows 90,000 head, a gain of 12,000, This beats the record for increuse of any other stock yards in the countr: CHAIRMAN MARTIN'S clavion note of warning that a republican legistature wmeans prohibition in Nebraska stampe that sagacious gentleman as a born po litical leader, His startling epistle will doubtless cause a landslide to the demo eratic ticket. Mr, Martin’s real pur. posd is said to be to elect a democratic legislature that will pus Governor Boyd in the United States senate. Would thas there were more brainy leaders ke Mr. Martia, ! GOVERNOR BOYI'S APPAAL. It has been known for some time that Governoe Boyd faivored giving the democratic vote of Nebradka to the Wenver viectors, Weeks ago he ex pressed himself to this effect in an inter- view, ana it is understood that he has at every opportunity urged the expedi onc crats, If thero has been any doubt as to the position of Governor Boyd on this mat- ter it will be romoved by the publica- tion of the circular letter, printad else- where in Tne BEE, in which he coun- tha N Weaver raska out sels democridts to, support electors in order *‘to take of her accustomed place in the republi- can column.” He urges that to do this will not be an abandonment of vrinciple, but, on the contrary, ““a definite step toward victory and the uitimate triumph of ( land and Stevenson and the principles they represent.” Governor Boyd also advises democrats to be loyal to the candidates of thoir party for the legisiature, “particulariy 80 whero there is u possibility of tion,” but he says nothing about loyalty to Morton, Bryan, Downe anl other can- didates for state offico or the national legislature. "Tho solicitude of the gov- ornor vegarding the legislature, which will eleet a Umted States senator, is too broadly suggestive to escupe attention There are democrats in Nebraskawho agree with Governor Boyd in regard to sunporting the Weaver electors, bub there is n very considerablo number who believe too strongly in democratic prin- ciples to stuitify themselves by voting for the presidentinl candidate of a party whose doctrines they nre uncompromis- ingly opposed to. There are Cemocrats in Nebraska who will not believe with Governor Boyd that the y tho democracy can be conserved promoted by voting for other than the representitives of such principlos These sincere and conscientious democrats will not he influenced by the appal of Gove ernor Boyd, while as to thos e in cment with the governor they did not need his « to indues thom to compromise theiv principles and stultify their conscience, Governor Boyd has shown his hand, and it discloses the fact that the United tes senate or a place in the cabinet is the stake he is playing for who d yunsel THE MANUFACTU In the list of American cities Omaha stands tenth in the number of hands cmployed in manufacturing on- terprises. Among twonty-four cities engaged in manufucturing there were 1,411,220 persons employed in 1800 as oainst 85,157 in 1880, Thiz shows an incrense grontly in excess of tho in- crease in populution, whothor the in- erease in population be confined to the cities or distributed throughout the country. ’ossibly the increase in tho number of manufacturing employos has not beoen great in the small towns and raral districts as in the cities, but the inerense in the eities alone has been 602,000, which is nearly a quarter of the whole numbar employed ten years ago. The aggregate product for the twenty- four cities named in this repost was 0,000 azainst $1,778,000 in 1880, an 1se of nearly 83 per cent. As the increase in tho number of huinds was about 75 per cent there is an incrouse in the value of products per hand in spito of the full in prices of all commodities gince 1880, These figures give somo idea of the wonderful growth of the industrial enterprises of this country during the past ten years. The increase in indus- trial products is greater in the cities than in the country, but it is evident that the gain during the past ten years has been large. Tn a comparatively few cities the gain is reported at $1,472,000 in value, not considering differences in prices, and this is about one-third of the entire product of ten years ago. The aggregate increase will probably be about 50 per cent, leaving out the differ- ences in prices. N 50 [t needs no argument in addition to plain statements of facts to show that the industrial enterprises of this coun- try are prospering wonderfully, Such growth as is shown by undeniable sta- tistics must be taken as conelusive proof that tho industries of the United States are making great progress. It is im- possible to predict what their fature will be, but it canrot fail to be prosper- ous if the growth of the past ten years is continued. Ivis gratifying to note that Omaha is ranked as (enth among the manufactue- ing cities, according to the number of nands employed. Considering that this city is still very young tl position which it occupies in this respect is not one to he ashamed of. Its standing will be greatly improved during the next ten years and the census of 1900 will place Omaha very high in tho list of manufacturing cities, FOR POPULISTS, inniig of tho campaign tho populist leaders professea to believe that they would get some slectoral votes in the south., It now ahso- lutely certain that they will not do so. neral Weuver says they would carry two or three states there if they could get a fair count, but that is just what they cannot get, The democratic man- agers inthe south intend to give the eiectoral voto of that section solidly for Cleveland, and undoubtedly they will accomplish it. The jopulists are now hoping to carry several westera statas, with the aid of democratic votes, Sup- pose they do this, what good will the party got out of it? This is a question which every intelligent member of the people’s purty should ask himself, General Weaver cannot be elected, No matter how many western states he should carry ho cou'd not be chosen president this year. The success of Weaver electors in a number of western states micht throw the election of presi- dent into the house of representatives, where Weaver would have but two votes and Cleveland would bs chosen. The demoerats in abandoning their electoral tickets to support the populist electors understand this, and therefore they urge that u vote for Weaver in the states where the demoorats are largely in the minority is a vote for Cleveland. What possible advautuge can the new party derive from helping elect the dew.- A QUENTIO. At the be, of such action pn the part of demo- | ic candidate? How wonld the popu- list farmers be more bonefited by having Mr, Cloveland president than by having Mr. Harrison? It might be personally gratifying to the cindidates of the new party to get the electoral vote of sev: eral states, but there would be no ad- vantage in this, for having recoived democratic aid it could not be claimed as a populist victory, The fact is that there is nothing what- in this contast for the peonle’s s0 far as the national ticket is nd it is simply being played us a dupe by the democrats in the west, while the southern wing of the democ- racy has practically kicked it out of the political arena, It must be that there are wen in the third party who will not allow themselves to bs used as demo- cratic eatspaws, STAKE OF THE FARMER, No of the people have really more at stake in the pending political coatest thun tho farmers of the country. If the democratic policy regarding the tarifl should prevail its inevitablo offect in crippling the industries of the coun- try woula be to turn an army of men employed in those industries into agri- cultural producers. With the opening of tho American market to the noarly unrestricted competition of Buropean manufacturers, which the democratic volicy contemplates, there would neces- surily follow a decadence of our manu- facturing industric The vast numbse of men which this state of things would throw out of employment, having no where else to go, would to a very large extent soek to bocome agricultural pro- ducers, What was said by Horaco Greeley nearly fifty years ago, when the democratic party wasendeavoring to de- stroy the systemof protection, is equally applicable to the situation now, with tho added force devived from the enormous increase in our manufacturing indus tries. Said Greeley in 1843: “One hundred thousund artisans and ia- borers [The number would now be many times ter] discharged from our ruined factorios, after being some timo out of amployment, at a wasto of millions of tho national wealth, are at last driven by famine to engagein othor avocitions—of course, with inferior skill and at infarior price. The farmer, gavdener, grocer, loss them as tomers to meet them as rivals, They crowd the labor markets of those branches of industry which wo are still permitted to pursue, just at the timo when the demand for their products b fallen off and the price is v clining. avor e concern PHE cluss an cus- Lven with a steadily growing home market, under the policy of protection, a great many farmers complain that the reward of their industry is not satisfac- tory. What would it be if several hun- dred thousand more persons, now en- gaged in other industries, were to take up farming? It ought to be porfectl obvious to eyery intalligent farmer that if the protoctive policy wore abandoned and our industries crippled, as they cer- tainly would be, the effects could not b otherwise than disastrous to his inter- este. He does not want an extension of agricultural production but an enlarging home murket for s products, and in order to secure this iv is necessary to foster minufacturing industries. This brings the producer and the consumer together, to the advantage of both, and it secures the development of all the re- sources of the country. No extended argument ecaa be needed to show the farmer of ordinavy intelli- genve that a disproportionate develop- ment of agricultural production would be injurious to his interests. In lower- ing the price of his products it would re- duce the value of his lands, and such a process would bring ruin to thousands. Nobody who has any knowledge of the subject will question that the farmer’s best market is the home warket. Ninety-five per cent of the products of the farms of the United States is con- sumed in this country. The time is not remote, if we continuo to develop our manufacturing industries, whon our own peoplo will consume all that our farms produce, and neither the price of our wheat or of any other product will be determined by a foreign market. Then the furmers of America, who are now as @ cluss the most prosperous in the worid, will have no concern about the condition of Luropean crops, and no solicitude s o anything except that the sensons shall bo so propitious us to enuble them to meet an assured demand. The stake of the American farmer in the pending contest is not less im- portant thun that of any other class of the people, and his intorests and wol- fare clearly demand that the Awerican system of protection shail be preserved. I SEEMS rather odd that the railroad officials should welcome the present gen- eral rain because it will maio the coun- try yoads muddy and prevent the farm- ers from hauling their grain to market. The railroads are all blockaded on ac- count of the extraordinary movement of grain and the car famine is the most serious ever known. Nobody scoms able to expluin why the farmers arve rushing their wheat to market at such a rate when prices are so low, but the wheat continues to come nud the elevators at all prominent market points are full to overflowing, while millions of bushels are on the Iroad tracks awaiting movement, —— AUGUusTUS LOCKNER i8 one of the best men nominated on the republican legislative ticket, His army record of three yeurs’ honorable service under Sheridan and the position he occupies as senior vice comwuander of the Grand Army of the Republic Custer post af- ford ample proof that he is respected and esteemed among his old comrades of the war, Mr. Lockner has, however, other things tocommend him besides his war record.
