NOTICE TO COMMITTEEMEN. The republican central committee is called to meet at the Court house in North Platte, on Saturday, Feb'y 27, 1892, at one o'clock p, m. All members of the committee are requested to be present. By order of the chairman. H. M. Grimes. The nearer the farm and factory are to each other the greater the home market, and the greater the home market the creater the value of the farm. The Indiana republican primaries held on Mondav elected Harrison men to send delegates to Minneapo lis. In but two counties was there even a semblance of opposition. In view of a call for an extra session our own and only Senator Stevens should commence refrain ing his famous railroad bill, and thus trim his sails for the congres sional race. The republican convention for the purpose of selecting four dele-gates-at-large to the national con vention will be held at Kearney April 27th. The call for a conven tion to nominate state officers will be issued at that time. By the beginning of next week the local political pot will begin to simmer, and aspirants for municipal offices will begin to button-hole their acquaintances. If the mar shalship is left out of the contest for mayor the fight will probably be only lukewarm. Kearney has secured one of the two republican state conventions to be held this year, and tne editor or the Hub comes in tor a good snare of the credit in securing the prize. Apparently the Hub is the . axis around wnicn Aearney revolves. We are somewhat at a loss to know why we should fear the poli tical power of T. Fulton Gantt, which according to the Era we do. Mr. Gantt had charge of the inde pendent campaign last fall and through his magnificent political generalship succeeded in electing nne man on the ticket. If he is placed at the head of the work this fall we opine the republicans will carry the county with ease. Talking of congressional candi dates in this district, some of the Platte valley republicans hold to the opinion that the coming man will be fr&in the north. Darring ton, Whitehead and Kinkade will come down with fair-sized delega tions pledged to support whichever of the trio develops the most strength. Bv this kind of a com bination thev can overcome the vote of the Platte valley, in case it is united. C. H. Pirtle has purchased Jav Burrows1 interest in the Farmers Alliance newspaper at Lincoln. Pirtle will be remembered as the gentleman who, as cleric of the alii ance senate, drew &600 more pav for that service and for compiling the nroceedinffs of tbat body for nnhlinafinn. than ever Daid before, But he is perhaps better known as the man who carried B.. & M. pass Nn InOfi for "self and wife." a cut of which appeared in The Tribune last fall. In the absence of a board of trade, the business men's associa tion should take it upon themselves to do a little rustline toward secur ing the Duluth and Pueblo railroad. With a through competing line freight rates would be materially reduced from the present U. P. schedule. Walt Mason, than whom there is no brighter newspaper writer in the state, has been cured of his de sire for a "jag" through-treatment at the Blair Keeley Institute and is now doing editorial work on -the Fremont Tribune. Mason was for merly employed on the State Jour nal and later on the World-Herald. Jack McCall is the gentleman whom the World-Herald predicts will be the republican candidate for congress in this district. Jack is a good man to represent the Sixth, but' many of his friends prefer to see him" occupy the governor's chair. At .this hour it looks as though he would be able, to give Tom Majors a lively chase. Down in Somerset precinct the people, are alive to the importance of" having industries which will consume their products. They will experiment largely with sugar beets this season, and are also taking steps toward securing the location of a canning factory. The enter prise xf the Somerset'people is commendable. Southern democratic papers are not enthusiastic over the decision of the United States supreme court in favor of Boyd. They don't like the doctrine that citizenship is primarily a state question, nor are they pleased to have a decision of a state supreme court on such a question overruled by the federal supreme court, and a "sovereign state" thus supplied with a new governor. The Business Men's Association will have a tendency to lower rather than raise the price of goods, for if the members can protect themselves against parties who bjy and then refuse to pay their honest debts they, the merchants, can afford to self goods at less profit. The asso ciation will in no way prove detri mental to the best interests of farmers or of any other class. The Tribune congratulates A. H. Church on his election as senior vice-commander of the Nebraska Gu Ai Tt. and on the vote he received for commander. It was only by a strong combination that the Judge was defeated for the last named position, but if he is an aspir ant next year his election will be easy. His speech before the en campment won him many fiends. The fall campaign is quite a long ways off, yet it is not too early to organize :i laree republican league in North Platte, ana not only here, but in every precinct m the county. The organization of leagues should receive the attention of the county central committee at its meeting next Saturday. With well organ ized forces it will not be difficult for republicans to carry the county by a" handsome majority. .'. The. outlook for the cattle indus try is .brighter to-day than at any time in the history of the west. This is the judgment of the combine, whose agents are quietly contracting for beeves for future delivery, and it is the judgment of breeders also, as well as of every well informed ob server. In 1891 the exports of 'American baef exceeded those of 1890 by over $35,000,000. Secreta- rv Bosk's vigorous measures for the eilargement of the foreign market for American cattle'have been large ly responsible for this rapid and pro digious develppwiens oi me ejpuri, mess. The Tribune modestly admits that its county circulation is swell ing to such proportions as to lead the publisher to believe that the paper is appreciated by farmers re gardless of party affiliations. For every subscriber who has discon tinned his paper since the first of January or has been cut off on ac count of non-payment of arrear ages, ten new subscribers have been obtained. This is no idle boast. The Tribute's subscrip tion is open to all advertisers. IN order to stimulate a little en thusiasm among the faithful few the Era remarks that "Lincoln county will produce the largest yield of independents this season ever known here." But the Era does not believe that such will be the case, at least it has no founda tion upon which to base its predic tion. The independent generals will find it a difficult task to keep the alliance members- from desert ing the independent party this year. In fact the condition of the subor dinate alliances in this county is anything but satisfactory to the political bosses. Ben Terrell, national lecturer of the farmers alliance and presi dent of the confederated organiza tions says that the republicans will elect the next president, as the alli ance will not support either Hill or Cleveland, thus breaking the solid soth. In this connection, Congress man Charles L. Moses, of Georgia, who is a member of the alliance and who was elected as a democrat to the present congresses quoted as say ing: "If Cleveland is nominated the democracy will lose Georgia. Cleveland is controlled by the gold bugs of New York. Our people will not have it. Neither is Hill a favo rite." Speaking on a similar topic Col. Williams, a prominent North Carolina politician, says: "North Carolina will send a solid Hill dele gation to the national convention, but there are many Hill men who doubt the expediency of his nomin ation. Cleveland is probably strong er than all the other candidates, but the alliance opposition to him would prevent his carrying the state." The following appeared in the Na tional Economist Almanac of 1890: "Farmers, do you want a change? Are you satisfied with 15-cent corn, 10-cent oats, 50-cent wheat, and lu cent cow?" The l'-cent cow may be considered a reasonable and sug gestive topic by way of comparison for the thoughtful farmer. In 1887 there were 72,665 head of beef cat tle imported into the United States after paying a duty of $2 per head. If Kansas beef was selling at 1 cents per pound, it is indeed a poor showing for the Kansas farmer, when the Canadian farmer pays at least one-quarter of a cent per pound and then beats him in the open market of the United States. In order that the American farmer may be encouraged in finding a mar ket for his beef without foreign competition, the McKinley bill in creased the tariff to S10 per head. The average importation for the last five years has been 87,000 head per year, and the average price for the last nine months has been $12 per head, equal annually to 1,250,000. The McKinley tariff of 1890 making it 810 per head must certainly make it prohibitive, and the additional in crease in sales to tne American pro ducer must- be this neat sum of over a million dollars. Can farmers pos sibly fail to see the benefit of such legislation ? I was so lame with rheumatism that 1 could hardly waiic, when my phvsician advised me to use Cham berlain's Pain Balm.

Tribuite There are some bills before ' congress that are of more than usual interest to the farmer. Among them is Senator Paddock's pure food bill, which pro- vides a law against tne auu iteration of food. It seems that close behind our raDid strides in discoveries and in ventions of modern times comes the adulteration of food, and the time has come when a pure food article true to name, and entirely free from poisonous substances can scarcely be found. Our wheat flour is mixed with alum, buckwheat-flour is mixed with wheat shorts, coffee with beans, ... . pure cider vinegar with worthless acids. There is scarcely anything that is not adulterated. Often chemicals are introduced that are noisonous to the human system. J w - There are a class of men who sppin to want to sandwich them selves, clam-like, between the farmer and consumer. These men are not the honored laborer of the farm or workshoD. but men who want to live on the credulity of the general nublic. A few years ago oleomargarine was sold in our markets to the annoyance and detriment of butter makers. There were so many grades of this patent butter made which resembled at sight pure butter that none less than an expert - 'iitiiti chemist couia ten tne aiaerence. Tbe consequence was tbat butter dairies all over the country were sinking money and were actually forced to go out of business. But when the law against the adultera tion of hutter came into effect and oleomargarine stood on its own merits, the butter dairies were re established and improved, the price of erood butter began to rapidly raise and to-day the makers of first- class butter nearly always una sale for their butter at a remunerative price. This is a case where a pure food law saved the butter industry and made a payiug business for the farmer. So with many products of the farm. It is the adulteration ot the article: a needless advantage taken that forces the farmer to the wall. Take for instance the adulteration of lard. Who in this modern day of "invention" ever knew of the markets being out of lard? to the contrary you can find in the stores at any season year and any day of the There it stands ready, put nics little buckets, waiting Quite "lard" of the season. up in tor a customer. We buv a bucket and what do we get? One half pure hoer s lard the other half cotton seed oil and poisonous chemicals added to suit the taste. Now this mixture aside from being repugnant to our tastes works a detriment to the common farmer. If pure hog's lard is actually scarce let the farmer have the benefit of supplying the deficiency by placing upon the mar ket nure wholesome butter. A nnra food bill would in this case protect the public from impure food and open no an industry too much neglected by the farmer There is an old saying that "there is no disputing about taste." It is not the intention in this article to discuss this point. If our foods must be seasoned with an article little better than bleached axle grease I think that we as producers and consumers ought to know the fact. What we need is protective laws: laws that will compel evil and de signing men to sell only articles of food true to name. Let every article of food stand on its own merits This is fair to the consumer and will satisfy the producer. Farmer.

No healthy person need fear any dangerous consequences from an at tack of la grippe if properly treated. It is much the same as a severe cold and requires precisely the same treatment. Remain quietly at home and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as directed for a severe cold and a prompt and com plete recovery is sure to follow. This remedy also counteracts any tendency of la grippe to result in pneumonia. Among the many thousands who have used it during tbe epidemics of the past two years we have yet to learn of a single case that has not recovered or that has resulted in pneumonia. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by A.

Unless "some good western man" rises and makes himself known very soon the New York Herald has half a mind to boost the young Mr. Russell of Massachusetts into the presidential chair. It sees no show for a New York man "because tbe atmosphere is suffocatingly thick with Tammany. To raise a presi dential kite with Tammany for a tail would require a stonger breeze than the weather prophets ieel at liberty to predict. We can get along very well with Tammany as a municipal or even a state institu tion, but we are inclined to think that the country is not yet willing to surrender to its control.

The good results of of the "reci procity treaties recently negotiated by our government with foreign countries is well illustrated bvf'"the effect of the treaty with Spain in the nour trade ot uuoa. Dor a number of years past the exporters of flour from the United' -BUles-ll have been carrying on a sharp com; petition with the Spanish-enorjr; of flour to Cuba. Although, lheej was a large discrimination jn pfflgfr of Spanish flour imported into Ciyja," the duty on which was 50 per cejat less than the duty charged on Amer ican flour, still -our exporters, were able to divide the market. Spanish flour was the 'product of Russian imported to Spain and ground by the millers in Barcelona and other ports, and then reshipped to Cuba as Spanish flour, and. admitted at the low rate ( f duty. The annual, consumption of flour in Quba hrs amounted to about 50p,000J barrels,, of which about one-half, or 250,000 barrels have been shipped from tjhjB United States. This was the slate of trade up to July 1st, 18p0. At that date Spanish flour imported to Cuba was made entirely free, and 20 per cent was added to the, duty, already charged upon American flour, making the duty on the latter $5.64 per barrel. The result of this change in the tariff of Cuba gave the market almost exclusively! to Spanish flour, and the imports from the United States decreased iir the year ending July 1st, 1891 to 114, 000 barrels, which represents only-a high grade "of flour which was ne cessity to bakers for pastry purpos ts. By the treaty negotiated in May last and recently put in tpera tion it was provided that, after 'the 1st day of January, 1892. the duty on American flour should be reduced from 85.64 to SI per hundred kilo grams, or to about 90 cents per bar rel. Notwithstanding Spanish flour is admitted free into Cuba, the-re- sult of this treaty provisional! as been that Spanish flour is now;en- tirely excluded from the .market'; and the American product-hasibeen substituted m its place, i So that hereafter the Cuban market will -be exclusively under the controll'oMbe TTnJfpfl Rfnfps A sppnnil' 'rpaiiW3Vif this action will be to largely i in crease the consumption of ffohriii Cuba. Experienced importers of jLiuviiiiti uuw umcuiuie luuir me tuu SUmption of flour in Cuba will re'fteh 1,000,000 barrels, all of which'.pll go from the United States. This is a practical lesson in reciprocity which our farmers, millers and 'ex porters can readily comprehend.' Ead not Slept for Years. - Mr. A. Jackson, an old resident of Husk.
