The members of the republican couut' central committee are re- spectfully called to meet at the court house, iti North Platte, on Saturday, March 14th. 1896, at one o'clock in the afternoon, for the purpose of determining" the man- ner of selecting delegates to the state convention to be held at Om- aha on April 15th, 1896, and for the transaction of such other busi- ness as may properly come before the meeting-- . A full representa- tion is desired, as important busi ness reaching" through the ca in- come paig"n of '96 is liable to be-- fore the committee. G. C. McAllister, Chairman THE SIXTH DISTRICT. The Congressional Committee ol the Sixth Congressional district js hereby called to meet in the city of Kearney on Weduesday, March 11, at 2 o'clock p. m., for the transac- tion of such business as may prop- erly come before it.

A saloon-keep- er sold a man two drinks of whisky, and while in toxicated he was drowned, His wife sued the saloon-keepe- r and was awarded $2, COO damages. ' A. E. Cady, of St. Paul, is sev- eral laps ahead of all competitors in the race for the republican nom- ination for congressman in this dis- trict. Republicans are confident that his nomination will result in his election. The Independent says the indi- cations are that the Grand Island sugar factory will secure as large an acreage of beets as it desires with- out much effort. This is evidence that the tanners are satisfied with the results received from beet rais ing". Ax appropriation of a quarter of a million dollars to aid in the suc- cess of trans-Mississip- pi exposi- tion to be held at Omaha will be asked by the Nebraska delegation in congress. "We believe the expos- ition is worthy the appropriation asked. M. D. Harter, of Ohio, who last September ad- dressed the sound money democratic convention at Lincoln, suicided the latter part of last week at his home in Fostoria, Ohio. The Billes Bryan fellows will probably declare that it was his financial opinions which led him to commit this rash act. The Mauderson presidential boom does not promise to make much headway in Nebraska. The more the boom is dissected the more evident it is that it is only a scheme to get the state away from McKin-le- y. But the scheme don't go. Nebraska is a McKinlev state and apparently has no desire to push forward a "favorite son." The advance in the stock rates on the Union Pacific has been fin- ally presented to the state board of transportation. The advance, which was made Jan. 1. amounts to about fifteen per cent on stock ship- ments from western Nebraska. There is no seeming cause for this advance, and it is hoped the board may be able to have a reduction made. The bill introduced in cougress for the construction of fifty first-cla-ss torpedo boats and six torpedo boat destroyers is calculated to strengthen the navy at an import- ant point. We have now but three torpedo boats and six building, while Prance has 218 and sixty-tw- o building, and England 169 and sixty-tw- o building. It is a signifi cant fact that Spain is doubling her torpedo boat force. A number of leading" citizens of New York City have become inter- ested in a movement to turn the surplus population of cities toward the country, and at the same time to improve rural conditions. The work will be confined at first to Westchester county, N. Y., where the first agricultural university will be opened March 4. It is as- sumed that there is need of greater skill and knowledge on the farm, and therefore the aim in the instruc- tion will not be so much to increase the production as to obtain maxi- mum yields on less acreage, reduc- - ig the costs and improving the quality. The lectures br profes sors of agriculture will be given at convenient points throughout the country, and when the course is completed another country will be taken up. Globe Democrat. "' Mart Howe, the discharged off- icial of the soldiers' home at Grand Island, has drawn up his charges against Commandant "Wilson. Among the charges are those of incompetent firemen and engineers, nepot'sm, and conduct unbecoming a com- mandant in associating with lewd women. These charges will be in- vestigated at Grand Island on the 10th of March. Don Cameron has just made his maiden speech in the senate. He has waited fifteen years, so that he might not be sat upon as an imma- ture youth, unused to the ways of the ponderous bod'. His speech took five minutes and was in iavor of free coinage. It is alleged that Don desires to figure as a presiden tial candidate at St. Louis, polling the votes of the silver mining states as a compliment. Hence ms un- - wonted oratorical exertion. Jour nal. The United States senate did well in voting unanimously a pen- sion of $100 per month to Mrs. Gresham. General Gresham's political course may have been erratic during the last years of his life, but all the same he was a great warm-hearte- d, patriotic man who gave all the best years ot his lite to his country's service. The public care for the comfort of the wife he so tenderly loved is a mem- orial that General Gresham, if alive, would more keenly appreciate than any other that could be given. Inter Ocean. ARE TARIFF RATES HIGH ENOUGH I Cheap Oririit-u- l tabor May Compel High- est Possible Protection. Those wlio have expressed the opin- ion that the McKinley tariff rates of du- ties were too high, and would never bo restored, are evidently not alive to tho economic and industrial developments that are now occurring in different parts f the world, most particularly in Asia. Instead of their being too high, we be- lieve that, within very few years, it will be found that tho McKinley tariff rates are far too low to afford protection to American labor and to American iur dnstries ineuch liues as maybe brought into direct competition with the prod- ucts of tho iabor of India, China or Ja- pan. The United States will not stand alouo in this respect. Goods made by oriental labor will find their way into every market in Europe and Australia. They will supplant the European and our own goods in South American mar- kets. The great hive of European in- dustry will he removed to Asia unless soma effective international combina- tion may be brought about that can check the movemout that has already originated in the orient. Instead of any tendency to lower tariffs here or in Eu- - ropo wo see before us indications of the necessity for distinctly higher tariffs, in some respects, than have ever yet been enacted in this or any other country of the civilized world. The general tendency of the masses of our people is not to diligent fore- thought. There are some among us, however, who recognize the impending industrial revolution and are preparing for it by the establishment of factories in the orient. While the capital there invested will be American capital, it will be subject to the laws of other countries and will be utilized in fur- nishing employment for the cheapest kind of foreign labor, not American la- bor. The product of such factories must be kept out of tho United States unless upon payment of such a tariff as will mako its cost equal to that of the Amer- ican product made at home by Ameri- can labor. Note the Averages. The bureau of statistics of the treas- ury department enables us to show how we have been capturing the markets of the world. Here are our exports of American products and manufactures for six years, 1890 to 1895 : KXPORT3 OF A2IEKICAJT PIlODirCTS.

During the two Democratic years our captures were worth only $807,543,-98- 2 a year. The breach in tho wall of protection cost us $121,780,000 in each year of 1894 and 1895. The sooner the wall is repaired the less costly it will be to us. Congressman Gamble' Idea. Eestore again the policy of the Re- publican party and reverse the balance of trade in our favor and the effect will be, as it always has been heretofore, to stop the outflow of gold from our shores and bring to us instead the yellow metal sufficient to make good tho balance oi trade in our favor. The real seat of the present trouble is largely if not wholly due to a false economic policy insisted upon by the opposition in the face of overwhelming facts as well as the logic of the present unfortunate condition of our national well being. Hon. Eobert J. Gamble. Free Wool and Carpets. We hear very little about the carpet trade nowadays from tho New York Times. That free trade sheet used to be continually explaining what a "good thing" it was for our carpet manufac- turers to sell carpets in England. Since the English manufacturers have been selling more of their carpets in the American market under our freo wool policy The Times has been very silent. The "good thing" is over on the other side now. But why noti tell us about it? "Education" and "Exaltation." Undoubtedly it has been a liberal education and a visible exaltation for the Democrutio party to have accepted the political guidance of Grover Cleve- - Jand for those eight years.

ARE TARIFF RATES HIGH ENOUGH I
Cheap Oririit-u-l tabor May Compel High-est Possible Protection.
Those wlio have expressed the opin-ion that the McKinley tariff rates of du-
ties were too high, and would never borestored, are evidently not alive to thoeconomic and industrial developmentsthat are now occurring in different parts
f the world, most particularly in Asia.Instead of their being too high, we be-
lieve that, within very few years, itwill be found that tho McKinley tariffrates are far too low to afford protectionto American labor and to American iurdnstries ineuch liues as maybe broughtinto direct competition with the prod-ucts of tho iabor of India, China or Ja-pan.
The United States will not standalouo in this respect. Goods made byoriental labor will find their way intoevery market in Europe and Australia.They will supplant the European andour own goods in South American mar-kets. The great hive of European in-
dustry will he removed to Asia unlesssoma effective international combina-tion may be brought about that cancheck the movemout that has alreadyoriginated in the orient. Instead of anytendency to lower tariffs here or in Eu- -
ropo wo see before us indications of thenecessity for distinctly higher tariffs, insome respects, than have ever yet beenenacted in this or any other country ofthe civilized world.
The general tendency of the massesof our people is not to diligent fore-thought. There are some among us,however, who recognize the impendingindustrial revolution and are preparingfor it by the establishment of factoriesin the orient. While the capital thereinvested will be American capital, itwill be subject to the laws of othercountries and will be utilized in fur-nishing employment for the cheapestkind of foreign labor, not American la-
bor. The product of such factories mustbe kept out of tho United States unlessupon payment of such a tariff as willmako its cost equal to that of the Amer-ican product made at home by Ameri-can labor.
Note the Averages.The bureau of statistics of the treas-
ury department enables us to show howwe have been capturing the markets ofthe world. Here are our exports ofAmerican products and manufacturesfor six years, 1890 to 1895 :

During the four years of McKinleyprotection we captured foreign marketsworth, on an average, $920,324,087 ayear. During the two Democratic yearsour captures were worth only $807,543,-98- 2
a year. The breach in tho wall ofprotection cost us $121,780,000 in eachyear of 1894 and 1895. The sooner thewall is repaired the less costly it will beto us.
Congressman Gamble' Idea.Eestore again the policy of the Re-
publican party and reverse the balanceof trade in our favor and the effect willbe, as it always has been heretofore, tostop the outflow of gold from our shoresand bring to us instead the yellow metalsufficient to make good tho balance oitrade in our favor. The real seat of thepresent trouble is largely if not whollydue to a false economic policy insistedupon by the opposition in the face ofoverwhelming facts as well as the logicof the present unfortunate condition ofour national well being. Hon. EobertJ. Gamble.
Free Wool and Carpets.We hear very little about the carpet
trade nowadays from tho New YorkTimes. That free trade sheet used to becontinually explaining what a "goodthing" it was for our carpet manufac-turers to sell carpets in England. Sincethe English manufacturers have beenselling more of their carpets in theAmerican market under our freo woolpolicy The Times has been very silent.The "good thing" is over on the otherside now. But why noti tell us about it?
"Education" and "Exaltation."Undoubtedly it has been a liberal
education and a visible exaltation forthe Democrutio party to have acceptedthe political guidance of Grover Cleve- -
Jand for those eight years. New YorkTimefi, June '24;. 1892:,' ; r .
