HERE IS THE ISSUE
PARTY DIFFERENCES SQUARELY
STATED.
Democrats Openly Working for Free
Trade, Republicans Favor Protec
tion—Ex-President Roosevelt
Plainly States Case.
The Now York Evening Post prints
3aily a symposium from representa
tive Democrats on the sort of man
the Democratic party needs for a lead
er and what his idea and Ideals should
be. These expressions of opinion are
Important as evidencing the trend of
the Democratic mind and are worthy
of more than passing notice. It is
urged that the leader of the Democ
racy should be "a man who looks for
ward impatiently to a revenue tariff,
not as a finality," but as a step only
in the direction of absolute free trade."
From the above it is evident that
those Republican who have a notion
that the hankering for free trade does
not still lurk in the Democratic mind
need to revise their estimates. The
necessity for united action on the part
of Republicans is apparent. "This
country," said former President Roose
velt at Sioux Falls, "is fully commit
ted to the principle of protection."
The Democrats, however, are not com
mitted to the principle of protection,
and they have not given up the fight,
but are still propagating their free
trade theories. In the Democratic
symposium in the New York Evening
Post it is argued that "the Democratic
party must not take the field with any
other less drastic end in view than
the ultimate conversion of all our cus
toms houses into warehouses, and
making all our ports from Tampa bay
to the Yukon as free to the commerce
of the world as to our own shipping."
That sounds like a paraphrase of
Democratic Leader Champ Clark's
declaration that he is a free trader
and glories in it; that If he had his
way he would tear town every United
States custom house from turret to
foundation stone. The desire to get
something cheap no matter what the
effect is on wages, seems to be the
dominating thought in the Democratic
mind. It is not so with the Repub
lican. He argues for a higher civiliza
tion, for the betterment of the condi
tion of the farmer, the merchant, the
manufacturer, the laboring man—of
every citizen of the republic. His
party stands where it always stood —
against the lowering of the American
standard of living. The pronouncement
in the last Republican platform that
the aim and purpose of the Republican
policy is "not only to preserve, with
out excessive duties, that security
against foreign competition to which
American manufacturers, farmers and
producers are entitled, but also to
maintain the high standard of living
of the wage earners of this country,
who are the most direct beneficiaries
of the protective system," is not Dem
ocratic doctrine, but it is Republican
doctrine, and if the protective system
is to be maintained it will be main
talned by Republicans. Former Presi
dent Roosevelt. In his Sioux Falls
speech, stated the position of the Re
publican party in other words as fol
lows:
"The American public wants the
laboring man put on an equality with
other citizens, so that he shall have
the ability of living and the capacity
to enjuy It; and to do this we must

WILL NOT FOOL THE FARMER
Democratic Advice Vainly Offered to
Those Who Remember Years
of '93 to '97.
"Production hasn't kept pace with
the increase in population," "There's
been a shortage in the crop," "Pro
tection has no relation to prices which
the farmer receives for his crops," are
some of the explanations offered by
our Democratic friends to the Amer
ican farmer to induce him to abandon
protection and embrace free trade. In
this connection some figures issued by
the government are exceedingly inter
esting.
The preliminary rough estimate of
90,000,000 for the whole country's pop
ulation in 1910, compared with the
75,693,734 of the 1900 census shows
the ratio of increase to be 19 per cent.
The average annual wheat yield
from 1900 to 1909 inclusive was 6G0,-
000,000 bushels, whereas the annual
average from 1890 to 1899 inclusive
was 503,000,000. This was an in
crease of 30 per cent.
The average annual cotton yield
from 1900 to 1909 inclusive was 11,-
600,000 bales; the average from 1890
to 1899 Inclusive, 8,700,000 —an in
crease of 33 per cent.
In view of the fact that production
has kept up so good a relative pace
to population, why the better prices
which the American farmer and cot
ton planter have been getting for
their wheat and cotton, as compared
with the prices they received from
IS9O to 1899? Why diminished exports
and why the talk of scarcity? The
N'ew York Kvening Post gives an an
swer to the question:
"In the very prosperous decade just
behind us," says the Post, "the aver
age individual consumed more grain
and bought more clothing than in the
not so prosperous decade of the later
nineties."
"The very prosperous decade just
behind us" was a protective period;
the ten years before that felt the
blight of the Democratic Wilson tar
iff law. Under protection "the aver
age individual consumed more grain
and bought more clothing" because he
was employed; because Republican
legislation had made possible profit
able enterprise; because the wheels of
industry were in motion and men had
earnings to spend. Shut up the shops,
buy abroad instead of at home, turn
American workmen into the street; in
short, go back to Democratic free
trade and the demand for what the
American farmer and cotton planter
have to sell will be so curtailed as to
bring upon them again the previous
torment inflicted by the last years of
Democratic rule in the United States.
This would be to follow the advice of
the latest Democratic campaign docu
ment, which cites the example of Kng
land's sixty years' free trade expe
rience and tells us to "remove the ob
struction (protection), allowing prices
to sink to their natural level." No
farmer who lived through the awful
years of '93 to '97 will heed such ad
vice as that.
The Truth Will Win.
It may be inappropriate for me
to invite your attention, and that of
all thole engaged in advocating the
Republican cause In the coming elec
tion. to the fact that it is of the ut
most importance to make ibis a cam
paign of education as to facts and
to clear away the clouds of misrepre
sentation that have obscured the
real Issues and havt* made it diffi
cult to secure for the Republican ma
jorities In congress the real credit
due them from the country for the
tremendous task they have accom
plished If this is brought clearly
home to all voters, and especially to
the young men now voting fur the
first time, alid tbey become Im
pressed, as they ought to be by this
record, with the difference In the gov
ernmental efficiency ami capacity of
the Republican and Democratic
parties, they will enroll themselves

COWBOY MAYOR LOOKS HIGHER]
James C. Dahlman, the cowboy mayor of
112 Omaha, flushed by his success in securing the
nomination for governor, has widened his field of
ambition and It 1s said may become a candidate
for United States senator.
Dahlman was born in 1856 in the village of
Yorktown, a place that was then right in the
range country. As a boy he received an educa
tion such as the town where he lived afforded,
but when hardly out of short pants he straddled a
horse and became a cowboy. All over the state,
until 1890, he rode the range. In 1890 and when
the settlers commenced to encroach upon the big
stockmen of Texas, the drive to the north com
menced. Dahlman was among those who moved,
and during that year followed a big bunch of
cattle across the country to Nebraska, driving to
Dawes county, well beyond the outposts of civilization in the extreme north
west corner of the state. Here he rode the range for several years, serving
a portion of the time as inspector of brands for the cattlemen of Nebraska
and Wyoming,
With the building of the northwestern railroad toward the Black Hills
there was a rush of settlers and the town of Chadron was established. It
was a typical frontier city, a large portion of its inhabitants being gamblers,
sure thing men and thugs, who terrorized the reputable Inhabitants. One
day when Dahlman was In town a committee of citizens called upon him and
offered him the position of mayor. He laughed at the idea.
Dahlman rode back to camp, wfcere he lay awake all night and thought
When morning broke he arose and ate breakfast as usual, but toe did not
go out with the boys. Instead, he bade them good-by, remarking that he
had quit the range.
Saddling his cow pony, Dahlman rode Into Chadron, where he called upon
the city council and told them he was ready to accept the position of mayor.
He was immediately elected and that day took charge of public affairs. He
organized a police force and soon Chadron was as quiet and orderly a town as
there was in the state.
Dahlman held the office of mayor of Chadron four years, during the time
being elected sheriff of Dawes county, an office which he held six years. In
1898 he removed to Omaha and engaged in the live stock commission busi
ness. He is now serving his second term as mayor of Omaha.
