The Test of Fact.

There is nothing that punctures q
theory so remerselessly as fact. The
| irredeemable paper money iniiationists
are perpetually telling us that there is
great lack of currency with which to
do the business of the country. We
point them to the fact that money
abounds in all the great business CEN
tres, where the vast business exchanges
of the country are done, that its rates
for use are cheap, that the banks are
full to oyerfowing of deposits; and
their reply is, not there, but "out
west" Well, Kansas is "out west"
If there is lack of currency TO do
business" anywhere,i should be here.
But what are the facts. No man can
put his finger on o single place III Kan
sas where there is business" to be
done-things to be sold--and there is
any lack of the needed currency. We
called attention the other day to Wich-
ita, the great wheat mart of the South
west. There are hundreds of thous-
ands of bushels of wheat there offered
for sale. Is there any lack of currency
to do the business? Not at all. Wheat
buyers are there by the score with
their pockets full of money ready to
buy all that IS offered.
Take it out or the Kansas Pacific
road, at Abilene. There is another
great wheat market. If currency is
lacking to do the business, there is the
spot where the lack ought to be felt.
Is it so felt? Let the Chronicle Of that
place reply. 1t says:
There seems to be plenty of money
in this country when we have anything
to bring it here. From July Goth to
August 18th, there was brought into
county. through the Abilene bank, for
wheat, s5l,S12.12."
So it is all over our State. Wherev-
er there is anything to sell, there is no
lack of the currency with which to
buy. If men have wheat, cattle, pork,
wool, ETC., there is plenty of currency
for handling them.
What becomes then, of all this howl
about a lack of currency? 1t vanishes.
There is nothing in it. 1t is false. It
has no basis. 1t is deceit. Against
the Ohio Democratic platform, Tom
Ewing's platitudcs, and Pig Iron Kel-
ley's wild theories we hurl the stern
logic of facts, which are daily trans
piring before our eyes.-LdUrence

About one hundred men have signed

that the movement is not in the inter-

Paramount Allegiance.

Now That the constitutional conven-
ton is upon the eve of assembling TO
frame an organic law for the people of
the great State Of Texas, it behooyes
the press, as the great vehicle of pop
ular ideas and public sentiment, TO
enter into discussion of those ques-
tons of governmental policy upon
which there is such wide varience of
opinion. During the deliberations of
the convention there is no question
that will be more thoroughly discussed
or receive more attention than that of
paramount allegiance TO the federal
constitution" This question of para
mount allegiance, coined in the brain
of Hamilton, a man who advocated the
establishment of a strong centralized
government at Washington, clothed
with extraordinary and imperial pow
ers, carries with it the Significance of
being the bantling by which war Of
conquest was waged against those who
in 1861 advocated the doctrine of Sc
cession or notification. While per-
haps it might be polite 10 acknowl-
edge the supreme authority of the fed
eral constitution over an instrument
indited to catch votes at a political
caucus, yet in framing an organic law
for the people Of great State there is
no rule Of constitutional Jurisprudence
requiring them to bow in AFFECT, un-
questionable submission to the feder-
al constitution and in dealing with
this question the delegates have neither
moral nor legal right to indulge in
what they NAV deem brilliant strokes
of policy, TO the detriment and danger
of the liberties of whole people
Sherman Tea Register.
The above constitutes the comments
of one who for the want of sense
simply howls; the rawlings of hot
fanatic to whom experience teaches no
wisdom. Calhoun, the author and
finisher of that faith has passed away,
but he is 10 moro dead than the cause
that cost his people so much. Such
twaddle as the above is but the voice
of spirit after a shadow, it is moth
ing. If any one thing was settled by
the late disastrous war that one thing
was nationality" undivided, concen-
trated, if you like, and Texas and all
other States in framing new constitu-
tons, will save time and money, and
perhasp something more precious, by
needing that fact. This question of
"nationality" was settled by the
American people, Democrats and Re-

Ohio Democrats Alarmed.

The following, from a correspond
ent of the New York Tribune, gives a
good estimate of the condition of the
Democracy il. Ohio, and the probable
result Of the election:
With all the old Republican elements
thus aroused and united, the Demo-
Gratis are conscious that they have an
uphill fight at best. But Oh their side
there is a lack of union and confidence.
Hard money Democrats are very much
worried. In clustering way they say
one to another that they can straight
Ell this thing all out in the election of
delegates next year." but they do not
half believe it themselves. The more
intelligent of them realize that if for
want Of pluck in their leaders or any
other cause they were soundly whipped
in convention by a crowd of roaring
blathefskites they win get whipped
still worse hereafter if those blather-
sixties have the prestige of great victo-
~ TO help them. Though very few
viii vote against the party, a great
many will be inactive and spiritless
during the campaign, and may not
vote at all. Alarm has visibly taken
hold upon the more intelligent and
property-owning classes. They can
not help seeing that all property, all
social and industrial order are direct
" threatened by such appeals as are
made By Allen. Cary, the Cincinnati
Enquirer and Kelley, and they see no
way to right matters but to give Dem
ecratic managers the wholesome dis
cipline OF another defeat. Said one of
them TO another, in my hearing. at
did seem as if our fools had been
ihrashed often enough to get some
sense; but here they are again, as
much in need of q sound cowhiding as
ever" 4 perfect consciousness that
there is revulsion of feeling among the
better class OF Democrats has moved
the Enquirer and Mr.. Pendleton to
modify their tone little, but it is too
late. The blatherskites have found
that they can make mobs yell by de-
nounciug the "coUpon-clippers," and
the average blatherskite would barter
several years of infinite bliss hereafter
for one approving yell from mob.
Everybody looks upon the "third-
term" folly as eifectually set at rest,
while from the highest TO the lowest
there is a very clear understanding
that Ohio Republicans, if victorious
this year, vii, have fully their share
of weight in the convention next year,
in the selection of Presidential can
didate. They are all encouraged
greatly, also, by the hearty and active
participation Of the Liberals, and, in
stead of affecting to make light of that
element. they reason that its spirit un-
doubleday swayed nine-tenths of the
stay-at-home Republicans whose with
drawal gave the Democrats SO easy q
victory.

The Walnut Valley Times lays down
the following platform, which every
good Republican can endorse:
Retrenchment and reform in every
branch Of our State and National Gov
ernments and getting down to solid
basis of gold dollars, or circulating
medium that is worth its face in gold
Honest men for Office instead of bla-
tant blatherskites.
A conservative policy that will join
the hearts and hands of all good and
true men of this vast country into one
great nation.
An iron rule that will totally disre-
gard the wishes Of northern politicians
and southern demagogues who live
and fatten upon the misfortunes OF
others.
And. withal, patriotic desire in the
heart of every man to so conduct him.

From the increased acreage for next
year, it is safe to predict one million
bushels of wheat for next year, with q
fair yield. The farmers are so busy
blowing for fall wheat that teams can
scarcely be procured to do freighting.

Hon. Alfred Gray, Secretary of the
State Beard of Agriculture, estimates
that Kansas will have this year, sur
plus of wheat for expectation amount
ing ia round number TO nine millions
bushels; and that the corn surplus will
approximate finy-iye millions bushels.
The problem in Kansas now is what is
TO be done with this immense surplus
of corn. The valuc of the wheat is
not less than $4,000, 600 TO the farmers
Of Kansas, and the corn surplus, at the
lowest valuation that experience will
warrant, is not less than ten or twelve
millions more.

q Financial Earthquake.


California, with all boosted prosper
ity and hard money, is experiencing
the oppression of reverse, and sever
al of her Oldest and wealthiest banks
went TO smash last week. The panic
was perfectly fearful and although the
United States Treasurer and New
York City went 10 the rescue, conf
dence could not be restored before sew
eral banks were forced into temporary
suspensions. Short crops aud gam
bling are at the bottom of the trouble.
AS home illustration of how sensi-
lively and quickly crop prospects affect
local as well as national finances, we
state that since abundant haryests have
been assured in the Arkansas Valley,
the Wichita banks have had more
money than they could possibly en-
ploy, and thousands of dollars OF ex-
ira capital are now lying idle in their
vaults.
