found that day many farmers from
Nash, Franklin, Warren, Granville,

paper, went to the four warehouses,
and asked each farmer | met whom he
favored for our next Governor was
surprised at the answer I received, OF
rather surprised that so many should

Hope is the only good which is

Truth; honesty, self control, and
kindness are simple virtues, yet they
are the very foundation of character.
To be gentleman does not depend

tory stopping, throws the laborer out of en-
ployment; he being ont of employment means
starvation to him and all OF his and this in
turn means no market for the farmers of Kan
sas and consequently the so called ''overpro-
duction.'
Yes, Mr.. Peters, the Kansas farmers wants
more customers in the United States; but he
does not want you as his representative to
spend your time making laws TO tax him about
one-half of the products of his labor to fill the
pockets of eastern capitalists under the guise
that it is for the purpose of increasing the
home market. He pays you to labor for his
interests, not the interest of the east. He pays
you to stop that stream of gold flowing into
the treasury through your hobby of protection.
He pays you to make laws to give him a finan-
cial system that is better. He does not paw you
to throw the cause of hard times on Grover
Cleveland when it is your own fault. Samuel II.
Peters is the man we look to in this part of
Kansas to help us out of this dilemma; let him
do his duty like man, a lawgiyer and patriot.
