RAILROAD KINGS TO THE FRONT.

The Democratic United States central
committee are all railroad magnates ex-
cept three. Four of them are presidents
and vice-presidents of railroads. We
nave often wondered, and not few
times asked railroad men, why nearly
all managers Of railway corporations are
Democrats but never got satisfactory
answer. There is a reason, but its state
nent would not be conducive OF pleasant
relations between their employees and
themselves. Barnum is president of SIX
railway corporations and Alfred Seweil
Of seven. Scott is president of thirteen
railway corporations and Colver Brlce
vice-president OF nine. These are the
prlncipal members of the national Demo
cratic central committee, who have IN
lertaken to force the cheap wage and
cheap workmen doctrines of Cleveland
upon this country. German and Bar
bour are both big railroad men. Olerich,
Of New York, is not exactly a railroad
owner, but he is one of the Atlantic
company.

July %, 1855.
The campaign opened at this place last
Saturday night. According to previous
arrangements a goodly number of
Lincoln township young Republicans
met at this place for the purpose of or
ganIzing Harrison and Morton club.
Mr. Geo Stodghill was chosen temper
airy chairman and after taking the chair
and stating the object of the meeting in
few well chosen remarks an election
was held for the purpose of choosing
officers to govern the meetings.
Mr.. Horace Ely was chosen chairman
VIM. Wilson assistant, chairman: j. Nor
ton Parke, secretary; George Stodghill,
sergeant-at-arns: Elmer Ely. treasurer.
A lively interest was manifested by all
present and all are confident of grand
Republican victory. We expect a MEM
bership of at least fifty young Republic
can voters by the time the campaign is
fairly opened.
Everybody here is enthusiastic of the
nomination and you can count on Lin
coin township as solid for Harrison and

MCPHERSON county farmers. it is said.
have fallen upon the desperate expedient
OF sowing no more wheat, in order 10 get
nd OF the chinch bug pests But that
will not accomplish their purpose. If
there were not grain of wheat planted
for ten years, and other condition, should
remain as they are for that length of
time. chinch bugs and other insects
would be as numerous as they are at
present. Our notion is that if the farm
ers would burn off their prairie. stubble
and other lands that are not occupied by
crops In the fall, as soon as the grass and
weeds are dry enough to burn readily.
that they would come nearer Kidding
their farms of the pests. 1t is idle to talk
about starving the chinch bugs out as
long as there is as much uncultivated
land as there is in the country. In the
absence Of wheat and corn they will
thrive quite as well on grass and weeds.

In view of the wonderful growth in
population and wealth of Kansas which
have brought it up to the front rank of
statehood and the commanding influence
it must exert among Its neighbors and
upon the country at large, it behooves
the men who will compose the Republi-
can state convention which meets in To-
peka today 10 exercise the most careful
circumspection and calm, unbiased
Judgment in its deliberations. They
should bear in mind that they are called
upon to choose the men who are to ad-
minister the laws of the state, and in
large degree formulate the basis for legis-
lation for the immediate future. There
is no place for passion. prejudice or
personal favorirism in the counsels of
the great controlling party of this great
and commanding state, and in the alb
sence only of such influences will the
convention meet the lofty requirements
that rest upon it.

PETERS, SUGAR SPEECH.

lie declared, and truthfully, that only
few more years is protection at all
needed to make Kansas the sugar state
| Of the world The only thing which
can possibly beat it is the administra-
| tons free trade ideas. Mr.. Peters said
touching .he amount of revenues from
foreign sugars:
DO away with these sixty-eight mil
lions Of revenue, paid as duty upon
sugar; let this money be used, as it
would be used, to crush out the prOduc-
ton oil sugar in the United States; and
how soon would every plant that pro-
duces sugar in this country be destroyed:
Do away with the tax now provided by
law, and foreign sugar, temporarily re-
duced IN prices below cost, would food
tins country, and the Louisiana planter
and The Kansas manufacturer could not
produce sugar to compete with the price.
The great foreign sugar trusts, the great
amount of capital engaged in the produc-
ton of sugar outside OF the United
States, would say we can afford to lose a
cent on every pound of sugar we send
into the United States next year il we
can crush out the product-which, I'M
derstand. was 800, 100000 pounds last
year. When every sugar plant i'll Louis
Iana, when every sugar plant IN Kansas,
New Jersey. California and Texas has
been closed up, then we would be in
the power of these men, who are sending
Us millions of pounds of sugar every
year-we would be in their power, be-
cause we would have no product of sugar
to regulate the price in the United States.
/ appeal to my friends and to every
man who is in favor of protection, either
local or national, to stand by this indus
try and give us chance to develop it.
Let us save to the people of the United
States and to the government of the
United States this 500, 900, 900 of money
that we have been annually paying out
to foreign countries for the sugar con-
sumed here. Let us produce it ourselves,
and we will not only save the amount of
money | have suggested, but it will en-
ploy in the avenues of labor thousands
upon thousands Of the working classes of
today.
l believe as firmly as can believe any
thing that if the law is allowed to stand
as it is that in the course of ten years we
will produce a sufficient quantity of
sugar to meet the wants of our consump-
ton in the United States. That is what
l am pleading for. l plead, because it is
not only in the interest of the Kansas
farmer, in the interest of the Kansas
business man, but because it is in the in
terest of the poor men throughout the
United States, and because it is in the
interest of the laboring men all over the
country.
| beseech you now, under the cry that
there may be an eXorbitant profit IN the
trust, not to strike at the interests of
farmers and the laboring men Of this
country. Applause on the Republican
