TIE CALL FOR The CONVENTION

EDITOR NEws-Dedr SIR: That
call for q farmers convention does
not meet With our appreciation at
all. It is not the voice Of that con-
Yention. 1t was TO be 9 farmeFs'
and laborers' anti-monopoly conven-
ton. This would have included all
in favor OF reform, so that ell could
cooperate with us, and those who
would not would be against us.
Now this was the private instruc-
tons 70 the committee. We hope
the committee will correct this thing
as we want to unite the mechanic,
the lab0rer, and all in favor of re-
form, Is this not right? AS we
understand this farmers movement,
as it is sometimes called, It IL an
effort to cooperate for mutual bea-
eft. it is not to pull down to build
ourselves ups it is for sslf-protec-
ton, so that we may pull together.
We oppose rings and monopolies OF
all kinds. Is there enything wrong
In that? We intend, If in our pow
er, to reduce taxes; may slash into
some of our officers fat salaries /;
may be abba to Rsy, sometime, "you
can have this wheat at $I.2R per
bushel," and not ask "what will you
give me-" Now, just look at it q
moment, yop will see the Office
seeker running all oyer the country
soliciting votes, and if he cannot
get them honestly he will buy them.
Money is what he Is after. It oc-
ours to Us that If the salaries and
fees OF our county, State and United
States officers were reduced there
would be less corruption in the
land. Reduce them SO low that
there will be no object in seeking
after them. But my worthy Office
seaker would say II you reduce
salaries and fees you cannot get
good and competent men to ali the
offices. This, we think, II not true.
We would not be afraid to go q new
hat on 1t, that we have good and
men who would take the
Offices ct one half the pay that the
present officers are receiving, say
about the "bsck pay steal"
and "salary grab" We.do not mean
to say that All are so, by any means.
Those that the shoe fits can put it
on.
We earnestly hope that our COM
mittee will see to 1t and correct the
error made in the call for q conven-
ton. We think the convention had
better be postponed q Week.or 90,
as it is q busy time, 90 that we can
get things Strengthened mp. What
say you, brethren of the committe ?
Speak ont. Ny whole soul IL in
his movement, and to see the thing
,rushed by ? little oversight win
never do. W. p. 4.

an equivalent amount OF its own
legal tender notes. Does anybody
know Of any principle that would
be violated by the circulation of
seven hundred millions OF dollars
In greenbacEs any more than In that
of three hundred millions? They
are just as good money, the govern
ment will have the benefit growing
out Of their loss and destruction,
and they do not represent q double
rate OF interest. II Il be objected
that the government ought TO get
out of the business of issuing circu-
lating notes, then let the national
bank act be so amended that any
set of individuals having the reqni-
site amount of money, may have q
charter; that they shall, as now,
buy bonds to cover their circulation
and the government shall at once re-
tire one dollar Of such bonds for
every dollar of currency issued to
such corporation. This will give
the banks circulating notes for their
bonds, and will reduce the public
debt and consequently the current
payment Of interest TO that extent.
II desirable the government can re-
tain, as now, ten per cent OF bonds
over and above the circulation as
additional security. and there would
be no objection TO the banks receiv-
ing Interest on this excess of bonds
over circulation. This plan will
remove the objection to the system
as fully IS that ofissuing greenbacke
The supervision of the govern
ment over national banks tends tC
the security and safety OF Deposition
as well as bill holders. This can al
: be retained. 1t is essential no lesl
to the banks than to the people
! Safe banking is q desideratpm ant
the national system tends in that di
rection. But this fact alone will NJ
: longer blind the people to Its pAips
9 BILE injustice and its monOpolizinl
Q and centraIizing tendencies. What
: ever the present results of the cur
: rent discussion upon this and kin
: dred subjects may be, there can b
no doubt OF the final outcome. Tn
contest between the people and mo
. nopolies hes fairly commenced. an'
q 10 irrepressible. From sire to son
Q and from generation to generation
i It will go on, peaceably but iTFesis

We re-publish the call for the
comfy convention with various
amendments this week. The city
of Emporia Is authorized to elect
one delegate from each ward, and
all who favor the reforms which are
desirable In the various departments
OF the government, are invited TO
cooperate with the farmers.
As we anticipated they would be,
these amendments were made when
the attention of the committee was
called to the matter. There was nc
intention 10 leave any part of the
county unrepresented. II was
mere oversight.
We trust all parts of the county
will he fslly represented, and tina
the action OF the convention will b
