NEBRASKA'S GROWING EXPORTS, The annual report of the bureau of in- dustrial statistics of this state, which will be submitted to the logisiature at the opening of the next session, will prove of great value to all seeking in- formation upon the subjects which 1t trents, and especially so to those intar- ested in our exports.

Twenty-two counties in the state go above the 1000000 murk in their shipments for r, four above #2,000,000 and one above 000,000, with Douglas county yet to be heard from. The shipments of live stock, aggreg 160 hend, e almost y enough in themselves to entitle Nebras to a great export while the corn exports, 10 24,295,500 bushe affo-d some idea of what our farmers are doing in the way of the world’s de- mand for this fmportant ceveal.

None the less som s of them are of interest. Ono of the recommendations is that banks be allowed to issue circulating notes equal to the par value of the bonds held to secure circulation. This isncta new suggestion. and ialthough it has not met with sufficient favor in congress to be adopted, there are valid reasons in support of it, tho » most im- portant of which is that it would cause a material addition to the currency. Another recommendation that the tax on national bank circulation bs aled.

If the national bank system is to be maintained the plan suggested is doubtless the most practi- cable for securing that object, but it would enconnter the hostility of two classes—those who are opposed to the bunks and those who are unwilling that should be an extension of the pub- debt.

The party that is coming into the control of the government is not friendly to those institutions and will consider no legislation that shall seem to be favorable to them, though it may do nothing to their injury. It is not the poliey of thedemocracy to maintain the the national bank system, but to restore state bank currenc There will con- sequently be nothing done by the present or the succeeding congress with a view to perpetuating beyond the already prescribed period the existence of the nutional banks. — THE ANTI-IRUST LAW, A good deal of atlention is being given to a recent utterance of ex-Senator Edmunds regarding the anti-trust law. He suys of this aet, which was reported by him from the senate judiciary com- mittee, that every line was carafully re- viewed by the best constitutional lawyers in congress and every possible feature that could at all bo questioned wus stricken out before passge. *There is not thé shadow of u doubt in my mind,” says Mr. Bdmunds, “about the constitu- tionality of the_act. The law is all right, the courts are all right and the be people are all right. TLet the officers charged with the enforcement of the law do their full duty and trusts and combi nations will go to pieces as quickly as they sprang into existonce. These trusts should be hroken ap.”” Mr. Ed- munds is fortified in bis opinion regard ing the constitutionality of the anti- trust law by a judicial decision, whilo general public opinion is 1n accord with the view that the trusts should be broken up. The utterance of ex-Senator Edmunds, whose opinions always command earnest consideration, has furnished to the op- ponents of the present administration a text from which to criticise the course of the Department of Justice with refer- ente to this nct. It is charged that the department has failed to make proper effort to enforce the law, and that reason of this neglect the law has t mained practically a dead lotter. This ie not a strictly just criticism. A year or more ago the Department of Justice issued to United States district atornews a cireular notifying them that the anti- trust law having been judicially declared to be constitutional it was theiv duty to take all necessary stops toenforee it, and they were furnished with instructions 03 10 how to proceed. The department uleo sent out special agents to look up ovidenco aguinst ocortain trusts. In these respects it undoubredly performed its duty, and what further action than that tuken could reasonabiy be expocted of it? Tuis quite possible that some of the officers charged with the enforce- ment of the luw have not done their full duty, butobviously the Department of Justice could not krow this to be the case. It must necessarily repose confi- dence in the officials under iv, and if this is be cd, which it may easily be in o matter of this character, it is mani- festly unjust to charge failure upon the department, There is not a single fact or circum- stance to show that the Department of Justice has not been willing at all times, to proceed against trusts and combin tions if furnished with sufiicient evi- denco upon which to base a prosecution, There 1s very great difficulty in obtain- ing the proper evidence, the combina- tions guarding themsclves with the greatest possible care against attacks in this direction. Those whodeal with the trasts will not give the necessary iufor- mation and to attempt to seck out the persons injured by them would be an almost hopeless task. The law says that persons injured by the trusts may sue and recover tireefold the damagoes sus- tained, but we do not know that any such suit has ever been brought. Un- questionably there is a very goeneral povular desire that the anti-trust law shall be enforced and the combinations defined in that act be broken down, but the government cannot proceea at hup- hazurd and there are great difficulties in the way of an effective enforcement of the law. The Department of Justice, there is every reason to believe, has done all that it could under the circum- stances. It remuins to be seen whether it will do better under the new adminis- teation, assuming ‘that the anti-trust law is permitted to remain on the state ute books. WiLL 10 DO IT? A letter sed to a western coal dealer from an eastern firm that deals largely in anthracite is quoted by the C g0 Intev-Ocean as follow The anthraciie combination are restricting their prosuct this month to some one million tons less than last month, They are simply preparing for another rise in price December 1, when winter will boon the people and coal will be ata premium. This anthracito combine is certamly of sufficient inportance to bea “national issue, as the very noor cannot afford to pay the present high prices for bard conl. and in Ilhnois and Iowa, to which points freight is very high, coal this winter will be something beyood the reach of poor people. Commenting upon this the Iuler-Occan says that 8o far as the state of Illinois is concerned the projected December rise can be prevented if the new state’s attorney will do his duty in carrying forward the fight begun against the combine in that state some time ago. Perhaps conditions do exist in Illinois which would render it possible to de- feat the purposes of the anthracite robbers, but they do not generally oxist clsewhere. Moreover, the good fight that has been undertaken in that state agmnst the combine, for which the journal reforred to deserves great credit, would in all probability prove a long and tedious one, even if the new prosexuting officer should take 1t up with the samo zeal shown by his prede- cessor. Ln any eventit would be some time before the results aimed at would be reulized, Winter is here, the poor must have fuel or freeze, and the coal barons are talking about higher prices even than the outrageous charges now provailing. ‘ If the price of coal is hosted up again on the 1st of next month the people will undoubtedly hear the burden as well as they can, but the feeling of in- dignation that has been steadily grow- ing for miny months will be intensified and will untimately bear fruit in the enactment of laws that will make the monopolists and robbers wince. Tle courts have been appealed to in vain, and the present investig.tion by the Interstate Commerce commission prom- ises to result in nothing that will bo of value. Buuv it will avlength be found that such oppression 18 as dangerous as it is heurtless and cruel, Why, it may be meked,is unot the Sherman anti-trust law applied to the easo of the anthracite combine? The apparent reison is that there has been some question raised as toits constitu- tionality, aad prosecuting officers have hesitated to attempt its enforcement against the coul men. But so eminont o constitutional lawyer as ex-Senator Id- munds declures that the law is consti- tutional and thut it can be enforced. He expresses hiwself in this emphatic la guage: *'If the Philadelphia & Read- ing, or any other coal company, hus combined with unother company for the purpose of controlling either the price or the output of any commodity it is amenable to the anti-trust law, and its product is liable to seizure, while the principals arve liable to arrest and im- prisonment.” The claim of the com- bioe that the law is unconstitutional is regarded by this high authority as mere nonsense. And yet a law designed to protect the people from extortion is not invoked and the robbery goes on with- out hindrance, het groat trusts huve escaped prosecution under 1ts provisions because they have refrained from op- pressing the people, but the coal mon« opoly is taking tHe Opposite course and still goos scot fref, If the remody al- ready available in the Sherman law is sufficient, as Mr, Bdmunds so confi- dently declares it to be, it should be ap- plied and thete should be an end of in- junction: investigntions and long- winded arguments. —_— Tie lettor written by Mr. H. W. Southworth from London, Bngland, announcing to those interested in the Nebraska Beet Sugar Development company that he has abandoned the enterprise and oxplaining his reasons for so doing, shows one of the unde- sirable results of the recent election It seems to be taken for granted that th repeal of the sugar bounty law will soon be effected by the democrats, and that the risk involved in the proposed enter- prise undor such cireumstances is alto- gother too great to justify the invest- ment, Thisis a very unfortunate con- clusion of a movement that promised great results in the development of one of the most important of the infunt in- dustries of this state. ho central idea of the enterprise seems like a good one. With numerous plants scattered about the state and a large refinery in Omaha to take their product instead of the beets in bulk, an important problom of transportation would have been greatly mplified and decided benefits would have acerued to the farmer. But the sugar bounty isone of the first things which the demoerats provose to attack, and it is therefore not surprising that capital cannot be secuved for the enter- prise in qu A corne sents overwhelming evidenco in refuta tion of the statement of an Towa nows- paper that western Nebraska is nota corn country. Not only his own ex- perience but that of many other promi- nent farmers is presented, and the con- clusion that southwestern Nebraska is one of the best sections of the corn belt is unavoidable. The fact that the cor- respondent raised corn for twenty-eight years in Towa before coming to this state eleven years ago gives his testi- mony some significance and weight, Nonopy will blame Mr. Cleveland for having all the fun he can between now and the 4th of Mavch, When he comes to deal out tho spoils to his patriotic supporters he will find life a burden, On'y one democrat in (New York city known to have no,'degl re for oflice, and he may change his mfnd and concludo to take one.

His first ad- ministration bas given him some valuable experiences, He will not forget that bis second and last administration will submit his public career to the judgment of history without appeal, and that it will depend upon bis tirmness in the right whether or not thut judgment will place nim among the greatest in the Jine of American idents. —————— FLIGHT FROM THE VULTURES, -New York Tribune: Tue reat of Mr. Clevelana from the ofiiceseckers seoms to imply lack of fuith in the sovereign virtues of civil service reforu, Ciocinnati Commercial: With his occa- sional throat troubles Mr. Cleveland stould bear ia mind that duck-hunting exposures have their palatopharingeolaryngeal dangors, If he 15 not quite certain 8s 1o the noaning of the somewhat elongated word in this bit of advice he can fiud it in the new Century dictionary.

Now that the democrats have both houses of congress and the pres idency, there will be no excuse for anything but a toorough overhauling of the pres ent law in accordance with the views und promises which have been so persistently proclaimed by our party, Tho couditions ve been entirely different in this cor when wo formed the plan of attacking MceKinley law at aiffel of special bills. The sonate being repub- lican, the democrats of the houss appre ated the futility of wasting time in the prep- aration of a general bill, Kaowing as they did the certain fate which would await it in the senate.

Spealker Crisp wont on to discuss the num- ber of applicants who would undoubtedly crowd into Washington after M Jleveland’s inauguration and he gave 1t as bis opinion that those changes which wero necessary to be made should be made as speedily as pos- sivle. “If I were president” said he *1 would bave it understood from the beginning that I would hold each member of congress and each senator personally respousible for the fitness of tho person whose abplication they endorse.
