The Kinsley graphic. [volume] (Kinsley, Kan.) 1890-1940, 1890-10-03

To begin with there is quite dis
satisfaction and commotion among
the farmers and day laborers. What
does all this meanp Can yo,-has
anyone ever stopped to think, or, does
no one care. Is not the farmer the
master wheel of the whole machinery?
What would this or any other country
be if it were not for the farmer? What,
what would our cities tie if j. were
not for the farmerY Then why are
they not the master wheel of the
machineryp Who dare deny that
they are not? And yet 1 have heard
the farmer called the dumb farmer, the
ignorant farmer, the country clod-hop-
per, etc. Just as if there was no
science ia farming, and as if it did
not take brains to run a farm as well
as it does to run anything else. 1 tell
you reader, it does take brains to run
"a farm and 1 know what Am talking
about. Why has farmer no brainsl
If you want good sound and pure brain
you will find it ON a farm; and if you
want brain that is full of schemes and
deviltry you will find them i'll cities
and towns like kinsley; while that of
bankers and railroad men are GRAINED
full of schemes as to how they can
gain wealth at the expense of the
labor of the farm and day laborer.
what are you kicking about?''
will tell you, old party bosses, why
they kick. 1t is because they are get
ting pauper prices for their products.
What Causes pauper prices? Some
say over productions; but say that is
false. How many thousands of peo-
pie are there to day who hardly have
enough to keep soul and body together
for the want of bread. butter and meat?

Why can they not? Some say they
are too extravagant and lazy. 1 say
that is another faIsehoOd. Why are
there so many ira nps2 The same old |
s slng, too lazy to work. Not that, you |
old party bosses, and you know what |
is the cause, but are afraid if truth is !
known to all that your cake is dough |
and you Will hare t. give up our job. |
viii tell you why We have tramps. |
Men left homes and famiiie, i'll search |
If work where they could get living |
prices for their labor; they have been |
reading the &. u. =. booming news |
papers and listened to their lying |
trash. such as the Mercury doomed |
Kinsley with three years ago. What |
does all this meanp 1t means no |
more nor less than that legislation is |
done in the interest of a few and |
against the masses. Legislation for |
anu thO lttCtCot O1 tfs0 l4OuCy hluS,
monopolies, railroads, national banks, |
and last, but not least, the mortgage |
corporations. And why is all this?
1t is simply to bring around things SO
that few Thousand men can own and |
control this government. We will |
call them shilarks, or old party bosses,
they dictate to their followers and |
they to the people. and the farmer and
day iabOrer pay the blood money. |
let,
But the scales are fast falling from
their eyes and they can ses, and mark
it, you party bosses, your song is sung
and your race is about at an end;
your plausible tales to deceive, your
sweet promises, your taffy on sticks,
your guff; the masses have gone to
reading and thinking Tor themselves,
they have peere't through the thin
woven veil that las hid so many
now they can easily see the nefarious
scheming going on behind it. The
taffy stick, the old soldier racket and
the bloody shirt all have lost their
flavor. Party leaders it will not win
any longer. We have caught onto
your deviitry and your deception, and
now you try to capture the farmer by
making aud endorsing the alliance
platform, the same thing for which
you have abused and ridiculed the
Union Labor party. You say there is
no use for the third party and you will
cruelty the third party. Yoa can read
in the scriptures of two old parties
and of the third party; one raising up
for. and in, the interest and welfare
of the people, and the two old parties
yelled out, Cruelty him!'' and they
did cruelty the third party between
two representatives of the old parties,
the Two thieves. You can read of the
third party rising up and glorifying
his people, and so there is great need
for the third party at this late day, for
and in the interest of the people.
