welcome relief given. The greatest DIS
bursement would be the present, the
time Of greatest need, and q gradual 70
duction would follow as the roll call was
answered by less number. The third
step that will bring the desired relief is
a liberal construction on the part of the
government of public buildings in all
places of given size and over, and pub
lie improvements wherever needed.
Economy and permanancy require this
step, and liberal appropriations at the
present time would set in operation
thousands Of idle hands, and give the
needed assistance in helping men to help
themselves. 1t is not nation of pauper-
holding out a begging hand. 1t is an
army of wage workers asking that there
may be money enough in circulation to
enable business to move and to enable
them to get remunerative employment.
1t is not loan, or contribution that is
required, simply chance to do good
honest labor and get paid a fair honest
price. These three things set in opera
ton, viz. Free coinage of silver COINED
at cost.) Service pension, and liberal
government improvements would in the
most natural manner possible set loose
where most needed, money enough to
stimulate all departments of labor, and
bring remunerative prices for all prod
ucts.
With chance to get upon their feet
the wealth producers would not hesitate
or delay one moment, and with the assur-
ance of permanancy of circulating
medium, a fixed amount per capita, with
which to do the business of the country
they would soon extricate themselves
from the embarrassment gathered around
them. But it is said where is the money
coming from to do all this? The answer
is plain. The silver takes care Of itself.
1t is money. The certificates issued in
lieu of the bullion deposited with the
United States treasurer represent SO
much value back of them. Again there
is large surplus in the treasury. Turn
1t loose to do some work, aud not leave it
stumbling block, an incubus on busi-
ness. Its place is in circulation not con-
gested in the treasury where it can do no
good. Again whatever deficit exists
after all other resources are exhausted,
then the issuance of full legal tender
notes to supply such deficiency. We
have the methods and means at our CON-
mand. Shall they be used?

With this question pertinently put
before the people Of this enlightened
country, it seems general awakening
should be the result. There are toe
many members in congress who sup
port measures that give protection to
combines and corporations, giving
them the power to Cypress the weak
at the hands of the strong. Those
manipulators are able to take care OF
themselves and do not need the pro-
lection from our government. It is
the weaker ones-the laboring masses
that should receive the support and
protection.
The time has arrived when a worse
phase of American slavery was never
known. Political combinations have
been formed, which have deprived
the laborer of many of the advantages
he so richly deserves.
Equal rights to all and special
privileges to none," is the theme,
every farmer and laborer should ad-
vocate, and from a non-partisan
standpoint. All questions foreign
to the general prosperity of those who
earn their bread by the sweat of their
brow, should be carefully handled,
while the projectors of such measures
should be held off at arms length.
Cool treatment is what they deserve.
and unless they get it, they will for
ever be thorn in the side of honest
politics.
To the laboring masses of Kansas
we say make your demands and see
that those who have aspirations to be
public servants, pledge themselves
upon the honor of a man to obey
your demands and support every
measure that are in accordance with
the principles by which you as a
mass, advocate. It needs no argu-
ment to prove you are oppressed in
many ways, and it needs no argument
to prove you are entitled to better
treatment at the hands of this gov
ernment than you get. Those who
can not comprehend the needs of the
people in Kansas are not deserving
of their support. Winfield Educator.

rHE RIGHTS AND DIGNITY OF LABOR

Labor has its sacred rights as well
as dignity.-Industrial Journal.
That is quite true, and these rights
should be protected by the strong
arm of the government, and not only
for the purpose of taking care of the
workingman for his own sake. but
as well because he is the best safe
guard of the republic. When the
country needs help he is the strong
arm of its defense. Upon him it
must rely to defend its coasts and
maintain public order through every
department of the body polite. Idle
without employment, with nothing
to do, he becomes careless and thrift
less, caring nothing for the higher
aims and ends o. life; but give him
work, with a fair and just compensa-
tion, and he BECOMES contented and
happy in the pursuits of daily toll.
He is ready to shoulder any reason
able responsibility and perform every
manly duty to his family, to society
and to his country. In the hour of
public peril we find him ready to
stand in the breach for public order
and public defense.
Let the government appreciate
these facts, and let our Legislators SO
legislate that he shall be secured in
every legitimate franchise and prlvi-
lege. Then we may be sure that
stability will characterize all our in
stitutions which contribute to the
order and well being of our people.
Then peace and prosperity will pre-
vail in all our borders, life will be
worth living, and harmonious rela-
tions will exist among them, banded
together in common interest and
common destiny.-National View.

days to be natural For instance, it is
promised that the dahlia is to be very
popular this summer as garniture for hair;
not, however, the dahlia of art, double
and triple, but the plain, old fashioned
dahlia of grandma's Hover garden. And
why? Simply because it is so uncommon,
so rarely met with, having been pushed
out of existence by the swelling, burly,

GLASS LEGISLATION.

Of all the false schemes" to heir
the poor man, the most dangerous is
that for tho government to go into
class legislation, and loan money at
one or two per cent. on farm land
Tribune, Independence, Kans.
O., give us rest. 1t would be q
terrible thing "for the government to
go into class legislation" wouldn't it +?
You never heard of anything of the
kind being done, did you? And yet
it is fact that three-fourths of the
legislation that has been done from
1860 down to the present time has
been ''class legislation" and that, too
in favor of a class that, leech-like,
has been sucking the blood out of the
industries of this country. A class
that has been pampered and fattened
by legislation at the expense of those
who have labored and toiled and
borne the burdens unaided by such
legislation as they had a right to ex-
pect from their representatives in
congress. The Tribune is horror
stricken at the thought of class legis-
lation in the interests of the
farmers, and yet it indorses
and upholds the law which
places tax upon almost every article
the farmer has to buy, except the dia-
monds and silk dresses his wife and
daughters wear. 1t condemns the
proposition to loan money to the
farmers at one or two per cent. on
farm land" security, and yet it at
tempts to defend the national bank
ing act, which compels the govern
ment to furnish the national banker
with money at a less rate of interest,
to the end, not that he may save his
home, but that he may loan it out at
2 per cent. and thereby gobble up the
homes of his more unfortunate
brother. Why defend the one and
condemn the other. Is it better to
have nation composed of a rich
aristocracy and poor serfdom, or
one where the people of all classes
have the same advantages under the
law. and where there are no extremes,
either of wealth or povertys Is not
the farmers home as good security
for the money as the bankers bond!
We think so. 1t is the best security
in the world. 1t cannot be destroyed
by the elements, neither can dishon.
est bank cashiers skip to Canada with,
it, but it will remain as security for
the money furnished SO long as time
may last. Our farmers can soon be
| out of debt if the government..will
adopt that policy and save the enor-
nous interest they are now paying.
The government has the money de-
posted IN the vaults at the various
banks in the east. from which they
are deriving no benefit with which to
do what the farmers ask. There is
no good reason why it shouldn't be
done. All this cry about class legis-

10, THE POOR HUsBANDMEN.

No one familiar with the condition.
fof life in the agricultural regions oI
the United States can be surprised
by the statements which were made
by Gen. Butler in his recent speech
on the Farmers Alliance There has
however, been some disposition mani
tested to question Gen. Buffers sta
tistics. It is asserted that he exag
gerates when he says that the farm
mortgages of the country amount to
''the stupendous sum of S3.45O,OOO,,
000;" that Senator Stanford's pro.
posed loan of 100000 would enable
the western farmers to pay about
two thirds of mill on the dollar on
their mortgages, or the interest on
them for five days; that the farm
debts of the country exceed the pub
lie debt at the end of the war. What
ever else may be SAID Of Gen. Butler
he has way of keeping himself sup
piled with hard, gritty facts.
The truth about the husbandmen
is the saddest that can be told of an
American citizen. Tax-ridden, op-
pressed, the victim of Federal laws
enacted for the enrichment of favored
manufacturers, the farmer is carrying
on BUSINESS which every year
plunges him more deeply in debt.
Gen. Butler was correct and moderate
in estimating that the $124,OOO,OOO
of Illinois farm mortgages in 1887
have increased to S134, 100000. It is
known to be the fact that the tenden-
cy of the times is towards tenant
farms
So much for Gen. Buffers status
tics. So far from being exaggerated
they do not tell the whole of the dis
NAL truth. Hundreds of farmers,
unable to live by tilling the soil, have
simply abandoned their farms in Vir-
ginia. Fertile lands in Westchester
county, within twenty miles of New
York, do not pay their expenses. If
a first-rate western farm, well stocked
and appointed and unencumbered,
were to be given to a careful farmer,
in three years it would bring him in
debt at present prices for farm prod
ucts. Farm lands throughout the
country are depreciating in value.
The city man who goes home to visit
his fathers farm finds it worth less
than it was when he was boy. Then
the land afforded comforts and lux
uries to tide family and high educa-
tion to the children. Now the crop
and the stock bring the owner into
debt.
QGradually the husbandmen IS beng
driven to the wall. Not many years
ago he was the incarnation of the IN
American citizen. It was
his sturdy patriotism which preserved
our republican institutions. He
the musket thirty years
ago and saved the Union. Now the
government is repaying HIM by taxing
him to death, giving him a pittance
by way of a pension when he is dis
abled. and making him q beggar.
What is it all to come to? Simply
this, that the laws of the country are
the farmer. Even now he
can make both ends meet only by Ia
boring from morning to night. living
on the coarsest food. foregoing COM
forts, bringing up his children with
out education, dwelling among his
beasts of burden, who alone are less
than he. Zola's story is
terrible and repulsive, and yet it tells
the truth about the French peasantry.
1t is to such complexion that our own
laws and the trust conspirators are
now driving the once independent
and prosperous American farmer
