NOT ONE.

ave published week before last some
statistics of Greenwood county; last
week we published the same from But
Ter, and this week from Harvey. A
careful study of these statistics will show
the farmers, the labOring men, are pay
ing nearly all the taxes. The local press
dare not publish the statistics. Let the
press of Kansas, next week, publish
from their county records, LIST, the value
of real estate I'd, the value of town lots
Sd, the value of personal property and
rate of taxation. Publish the aggregate
value of all the property in the county,
then analyZe it, and give US the average
value Of merchandise in the county, as
shown by the tax rolls, average per cap
tia, amount OF money i'll the county on
the first of march, 1879, as shown by the
tax rolls. Give us the average amount
of merchandise with the names of your
six largest merchants. Let the people
know who are paying the taxes. We
dare the local press to do this They
would lose their local advertising, and
many of them would have To suspend
Emporia Greenbacker."
Calamity Sam is again afflicted. When
he says he published some statistics from
Butler county in his paper he says what
is not true. He simply published some
figures of his own making
He says in the above that the local
press dare not publish the statistics. We
wish To inform him that the Times pub-
fishes the statistics of Butler county each
year, together with the taxable valua-
lion, valuation of town lots and rate of
taxation. We have published these fig
ures each year for ten years and will
continue TO do So for the next ten years
to come.
If Calamity Sam wants to know who
pays the taxes in Butler county we will
tell him: The men who own the prop
erty, as rule, pay the taxes down in
this county. Who pays the tares on tie
Rice county school bonds that y0u are
charged aoith stealing?
Sam is trying to prove that towns peo-
pie are not paying their share of the tax
es. In other words he is trying to en-
gender spirit of hate between country
and town people. Calamity Sam is not
honorable; does not tell the truth; can
not be relied on; is not honest; does not
appeal to mems higher feelings; is Il
demagogue of the meanest type, and has
not single Iedeeming quality in his
whole haracter.-Eldorado Times.

perfect divorce between church and state
aud between church and school; that all
private property should be equally taxed,
and that no citizen should be deprived
of any civil right on account of his re-
ligions or irreligIous belief" A com
mittee, Of which Ingersoll and James
Parton are the leading members, has
been appointed to prepare and issue an
address inviting all free thinkers to at
tend the Cincinnati meeting. In an in
tcrview by the Post, Mr.. Ingersoll fur
Their expressed himself as follows:
"In many of the states infidels are de-

not allowed TO testify nor to hold Office
In most of the states laws are inforced
against what is called violations of the
Sabbath, and freethinkers are denied the
right TO use that day as they desire
We want the school freed from the con-
troll Of superstition; we want church
property to bear its share of public bur-
dens. We do not want to prevent any
man from wOrshipIng God when and
where he pleases, nor will we interfere
with any human right. We simply ask
to be allowed to think for ourselves
without being Disseminated against on
account of our religious or irreligious
views. For my part, hope the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties both will
be wise enough to advocate these princi-
Piles, but if neither of them do, I hope
the Liberals of the United States Will
organize a party of their own

THE TWO BANK SYSTEMS.

The superiority of the netional over
the state banking system is shown by the
report the comptroller of the currency
has received from the Examiner of tho
National banks for the states of Missouri
and Illinois. He states that the losses to
creditors in Missouri through the state
banks and private banks since lsT6have
been So 100000, while the losses through
national banks in the same state since
their Experimentation years ago
have bceen less than 100000. In the
state of Illinois, the losses since 1874
have been $5,5OO,Oo0 by private banks,
while the losses by national banks since
their establishment in 1868 have been
less than 81 100000. The total losses by
state banks through the last five years
have been more than three-fourths of the
total loss OF all the national banks IN the
Quilted States since the system was
created.

THE FIAT LUNACY.

Representative Burrows, of Michigan,
in u speech at the republican reunion in
Madison, Wisconsin, said: 81 cannot
understand this fiat business. l can
understand how piece of paper is per-
fectly good if it is payable at some time
and to some one, but how piece of pa
per stamped as money is money can
not understand. / can understand per-
fectly well, when / buy ticket from
here to Chicago, that it is good for
something, because it is redeemable in a
| ride; but cannot understand how the
ticket itself is the ride, and nobody but
a modern Greenbacker fiat money man
would sit down on that ticket and think
he was going to Chicago. Great laugh
ter) / can understand how a ticket into
circus is good, if can get into the
show; but | cannot understand how
the ticket Is the show, and nobody but
a modern fiat money man would take
the ticket and think he saw the
horses going around and the whole per-
torrance. can understand how an Or
der on a farmer here in Wisconsin for a
cow is pretty good, if can get the cow
but / cannot understand how the order
itself is cow, and nobody but modern
greenback fiat money man would sit down
on stool and attempt to milk the or
der. Great laughter.) will tell you,
my fellow citizens, there is NO use in
talking about getting out of the national
debt in any way except to pay it; that is
the only straightforward way TO do.
To-day the best thing that could happen
to the financial interest and the business
interest would be for congress to pass a
law at its very next session to punish
with death any member of congress that
would make a speech on finance for the
next twenty years What we want is to
be let alone and we are on the high road
to prosperity.

BETTER TIMES.

Everything indicates that the "better
times" to which we have looked for
ward hopefully for SO many years, are
now at hand, and that business of every
kind is showinga very marked improve
ment. Among other circumstances
which point Enthusiastically to an improv.
ed condition of affairs, the Rochester
(New York; Herald, calls attention to the
fact, as shown by the figures, that the
railroad business which, in various
branches, gives employment to many
thousands OF men, In all parts OF the
country, is rapidly reviving, and it states
that one locomotive building establish.
ment in Patterson, New jersey, could
now furnish employment to at least a
thousand more men, if they had the shop
room for them. Not only is il true that
the one establishment referred to is
crowded with work, but as the Herald
says, the locomotive works everywhere
are crowded with orders, and every man
is employed who can be utilized. It. ii
stated that there are $1,000 more men al
work in Pennsylvania than there were
last year. The advance in iron has acted
like q breeze upon the embers of the iron
trade, and we read Of revived iron mllli
and furnaces in all parts Of the country
At meeting ofthe German Machinist'i
Union in New York City, last Wednes

of every kind used for constructing and
equipping houses. Its Influence is fell
in hundred quarters and thousands OF
hands, idle few months ago, are now
busy supplying the market with goods
and earning wages. People are beginning
to spend money more freely than
they have for some years past, though
the lessons of economy taught by the
years of business depression, will re.
strain them from the extavagance of the
war period and the few years that fol
lowed it. Wholesale dry-gOods dealers
in New York say that the purchases this
season cover better class of goods than
those they have been selling for some
time
Throughout the west the abundant crops
OF this year and last, together with the
active foreign demand that must newt
ably come for all kinds of farm produce,
have had an encouraging and stimulat-
ing effect upon all branches of industry /;
everybody who wants to work can find
employment at living, wages, and there
is healthier tone generally pervading
all kinds of business than has been felt
before since the close of the war. The
increasing supply of money is steadily
bringing down the rates of interest, and
there are evident signs of u general
movement on the part of capitalists to
invest in real estate, and by next year
we look for that form OF property to be-
come more saleable than it has been
since 1878. An era of general prosperity
has dawned; let all remember the les
sons of the past decade and invest their
funds carefully in legitimate business
enterprises or in real estate at moderate
figures, and leave wild cat schemes of
speculation and sudden riches to those
who have money that they can afford to

That is pretty loud talk, but it don't
seem to have scared anybody as yet. The
day ofpolygamy will soon be over. The
very best thing to do is to get Il new rev.
citation to the effect that it was mistake
or that it is no longer necessary to the
building up Of Zion. That would lei

besides. We guess, though, some of the
lusiy old prophets wouldn't give much
for their religion with polygamy out.

For the next week, when an Indian by
any chance acquired wealth and came to
fIwn to get drunk, he fell to studying
the wonderful scenery on an old black
smith shop, saved his money and went
home sober; or, if his capital did not
represent ten nickles, he at once began
to study economy and accumulation.
Now, why not take the Indian at his
weakest point! That is what all the
great peers of the human family have
done with the rest of US. He does not

not go there if he could, and he is not.

rience more pleasure than in all his past
life; that by leading an honest life and
working a little mot too much, you
know he will secure an eternal ticket
for the great show above? Such a re-
ligion would be palatable to the noble

er on the inclinations of the man about
what he can believe in the way of relig-
ion or anything else.
With the firm belief that we like all
other great writers, have left the Indian
about seventeen feet further down hill

A NEW PARTY.

Col. Ingersoll and other leading relig-
ious skeptics announce that they are no
longer going to stand the religious sen.
timent which appears to influence to
some extent the course of the Republi-
can party, and that they will organize q
movement to stop the further exercise OF
religious influence in public affairs. The
Colonel, in a letter addressed TO the
Washington Post, announces that "there
is to be a convention of Liberals held al
CINCINNATI on the 18Th and 14th of Sep.
tember next, for the purpose of consult
ing as to the propriety of taking politi
cal action.n
