Think For Yourselves.

All candid, unprejudiced men
know what'is the principal cause of
hard times in western Kansas. 1t
is crop failures; nothing more nor
less. And when politicians endea-
vor to make you believe that the de-
preston is caused entirely by
vicious legislation you all know bet
ter. People think for themselves,
or ought to, and the people of west
ern Kansas know just what is the
matter with them. We are willing
to admit that there has been some
legislation not strictly in the inter-
est of the people, but the last session
of congress, Republican for the first
time in sixteen years, has done more
for the masses than any congress
during that time. The Republican
party is the peoples party in the
broadest sense and, when the people
demand, their will is law. The Re-
publican party to-day is right in
line with the reforms needed and
demanded and in no other way can
those reforms be so fully and COM
pletely carried out.
The Republican party has al
ways shown itself to be true to its
pledges and it will be true to the
people now. The surest way to de-
lay reforms is to divide and weaken
the Republican party. We need all
our strength and all the support we
can give our party the present cam
paign and the party will, in return,
redeem its pledges and give US the
legislation we need and demand

OSBORN OR GILKERSON, WHICH?

For district judge for the Twenty
third Judicial district there are three
candidates asking your support: S.
j. Osborn, the present incumbent,
A. D. Gilkerson. democratic nomi-
nee, and David Rathbone, the NOM
inee of a portion of the peoples par
ty. We speak advisedlY when we
say he is the nominee of a portion
only of the peoples party, for at
least one county alliance in the dis
trict has openly repudiated his NOM
nation, and outside of his own
county he will receive but little sup
port anywhere In the district. So
far as Mr.. Rathbone is concerned, he
is practically out of the race and no
good can be accomplished by a dis
cusslon of the causes. 1t is enough
to know beyond all peradventure
that he will be third in the race and
not a very close third, either.
The contest is between Judge Os-
born and Mr.. Gilkerson and the
question for you to decide is, which
you prefer? So far as the Re-
publican voter is concerned it ought
to require no reflection, Judge Os-
born was regularly nominated by a
regularly called Republican conven-
ton and unless there exists some
very cogent reasons to the contrary
he is entitled to the united support

The McKinIey Tariff Bill.

A great deal has been written
from a purely partisan standpoint
in regard to the Mckinley tariff bill.
1t is not altogether what we de-
sired but it is the best tariff bill
that has ever been presented or
passed by congress so far as the in
terests Of the agricultural and la
boring classes generally are con-
cerned. There is no disputing this
proposition. 1t has added to the
free list articles to the value of
more than $IOO,000,0OO. The Nc
Kinley bill, with its amendments, al
lows nearly half of all the imports
of the country to be admitted free
and the duty is taken off of just such
articles as the poor and middle class
es buy most largely. Low grade
sugars are admitted free and on high
grade sugar the duty is light. The
Mckinley bill reduces the duties on
iron and steel, and on binding Irvine
the duty is only nominal. On farm
products, such as hay, potatoes, but
ter, cheese, eggs, garden seeds, beans,
hops, buckwheat and barley, the
duty has been materially raised and
must result in great benefit to the
producers of the United States. In
order to show the amount of agri-
cultural products imported last year
we give the following table, as it is
not generally thought that our farm
ess have to compete with other
countries in the sale of their products,
and it is also generally supposed, that
farmers alone, of all other classes,
have no protection. This is a mis-
take. The imports of farm products
into this country for the last fiscal
year were:

It Is the PeopIe'S PARTY.

We are not very old and our ex-
perience and observation has not
been as extensive as some, but with
in our recollection this is not the
first time an attempt has been made
to destroy the Republican party.
We well remember the Greenback
party, Independent party, Reform
party and a half dozen others which
have been organized with a great
flourish Of trumpets and which ap-
parently were destined to revolu-
tionize the political world, but
which, like the mist, grew up in a
night and vanished before the rays
of the morning sun. There is no
necessity for alarm. The Republi-
can party has not yet accomplished
its mission. It has a glorious work
yet to perform and no side issues can
swerve it from IT'S purpose. The
Republican party was born for a
purpose and so long as reforms are
needed it will exist. The Republi-
can party is the peoples party.

They All Know It.

One of the most notable features
of the soldiers reunion at Topeka
was the fact that the old soldiers
were much more anxious to greet
ingalls, than any other one in at
tendance, not even excepting the
President. No one present could
awaken the enthusiasm in the
breasts of the old veterans as did the

We Want It NOW.

When we are convinced that the Repub-
ican party cannot and will not shape leg
isla6on in our interests, it is time enough
to refuse longer to support it; but just
now it has acceded to our demands and
placed itself squarely upon record in our
interests and those pledges must be re-
deemed. We, the people, demand il and
we, the people, compose the party and

THE Alliance never had a better
friend than the WORLD and we
have not now changed. We are as
much in favor Of the Alliance as
we ever were, and always expect to
work for everything that we conceive
to be in the interest of the farmer.
In so doing we are working for our
own interests. We are not in favor
of a third party in opposition to the
party. of which we are a
member. We do not consider that
a third party at this time is needed
and, as we read and understand the
obligation taken by members of the
Alliance, politics has nothing to do
with the organization. We under
stand that each individual member
of the Alliance is privileged to vote
as he pleases. If we are not right in
our conclusions then we must adj
NIT that we have been laboring I'M
der delusion.

OUR CANDIDATES.

Owing to absence last week we
failed to give our county ticket the
usual introduction. In the present
instance such introduction is entire
ly unnecessary, as all the candidates
are well known to almost every citi-
zen of the county, and any extended
''write-up" would be a useless ex-
penditure of time.
Our candidate for representative,
VIZ. KING,
is a resident of Riverside township, a
farmer and stock raiser and is In
every regard thoroughly identified
with the interests of western Kan
sas in general and of Trego county
in particular. Mr.. King was COM
missioner for the first commissioners
district in this county for three
years and served the county faith
fully and acceptably. He is man
of more than ordinary ability, an in
defatigable and tireless worker, we'll
posted on political matters and in
every way qualified to represent
Trego county in the legislature.
The Republican party will make no
mistake when it elects Mr.. King.
M. WEIGH
is the Republican nominee for pro-
bate judge and is well qualified to
fill that important office. His in
tegrity has never been questioned.
He is an old soldier, farmer and
we know o no good reason why he
should not receive the support Of
every Republican in Trego county,
which, of course, will insure his cleo
ton by alarge majority.
PIERCE METZ
has been renominated for district
clerk. No man in Trego county is
better qualified to fill that Office.
Thoroughly competent, always
obliging and accommodating, his
friends will take pleasure in seeing
that he is reelected by a large ma
jority.
S.R. COWICK
is candidate for county attorney.
We are not much given to sounding
our own praises and will only say
that if elected the affairs of the
county, so far as relates to this Office,
will be conducted with the strictest
economy consistent with good gov
eminent, and as guarantee for the
future we respectfully refer you to
the past.
A. 8. PEACOCK
is the Republican candidate for su-
perintendent of public instruction
and is perhaps as well qualified for
that office as any person in the
county. He has a fine education,
has been very successful teacher, is
a man of the best moral habits and,
in brief, possesses all the qualifca
tons requisite to fill that important
Office acceptably. Not a word can
be said against Mr.. Peacock.
W.B. CIPHER,
candidate for commissioner of the
second commissioners district, is a
farmer and resides in Wilcox town
ship, He is a man of excellent bust
ness qualifications and well qualified
to have charge of the county's inter
ests. Trego county has always been
fortunate in the selection Of county
commissioners and the election of
Mr.. CIPHER will prove no exception
to the general rule.

can rest satisfied that his interests
will be taken care of.

Republicans. Stand Firm.

For the first time in sixteen years
has the Republican party had con-
troll of both houses of congress. For
the first time in sixteen years have
the people made a united demand
for certain legislation. What is the
situation? The session of congress
which has just closed has passed
more bills in the interest Of the
farmer and of the laboring man
than any congress for the past quar-
ter of a century. Our Republican
conventions, state, congressional
and county, have placed themselves
upon record and in sympa-
thy with the farmer. There is a
general awakening in the party,
which means legislation in the in
terest of the people. There is no
doubt concerning these propositions.
Under all the circumstances what
is the duty of every Republican,?
Stand firm and all that legislation
can do will be done for US. Stay
with your old party until it refuses
to aid you. At least stay with it
and give it an opportunity to re-
deem IFS pledges.

tration has been clean and without

THE air is full of all sorts Of ru-
mors regarding trades and combina-
lions that have been made or that
are about to be made in the interest
of certain candidates. We have no
definite personal knowledge in re-
gard to this matter, but we want to
say to everybody concerned and par
ticularly to the voters of Trego coun-
ty, don't countenance nor lend your
aid to any such schemes. Vote for
your nominee. Better be defeated
than to be successful with unfair
methods. An honorable defeat is no
disgrace. Let us have an open, man
ly, fair campaign.

of the Republican party. Unless it
can be shown that the democratic
nominee is a better man and better
qualified to ELL that position there
ought not to be a moments hesita-
ton. We wish to speak respectful
ly OF Mr.. GilkerSon and in drawing
comparisons we Will endeavor to be
fair and to speak without prejudice.
AS a man and a citizen, and so far as
regards Mr.. Gilkerson's honor, hon
esty and integrity, we are safe ia as
Stunning that no person who knows
them both will contend that Mr..
Gilkerson is the superior of Judge
Osborn. We wish to intensity this
statement and make it as emphatic
as possible and will repeat that no
acquaintance of both will, for a mo-
ment, seriously insist that Mr.. Gil
kerson is the superior of Judge Os-
born in any of the attributes which
combine to make good citizen.
When we consider them from a
judicial standpoint we have no hest
fancy In saying that Mr.. Gilkerson
is not the peer of Judge Osborn and
never can be, even with the expert
ence of years. Every member of
the bar in this judicial district knows
that this statement is absolutely cor
rect, and without wishing to be in
Vidious or detract from the fame Of
any attorney, we assert that Judge
Osborn's equal for the office to which
he aspires cannot be found in this
judicial district. As a member of
the bar we have watched him closely
and can cheerfully bear testimo-
ny to the absolute fairness of his de-
cisions under ali circumstances. We
do not wish to be understood that
his decisions have always been salts
factory to all concerned because that
would be as much of an impossibility
as the verdict of a jury. The liti-
CANT who is beaten seldom feels that
he has had justice. Judge Osborn
has demonstrated that he is a jurist,
quick to grasp a legal proposition,
impartial, kind to members of the
bar and always prompt to interfere
for the protection of witnesses and
in the interest of justice. This is a
very important Office and one in
which good intentions are not the
only requisite qualifications. Judge
Osborn possesses the ability to fill
that office creditably and acceptably.
Simon pure democrats will vote
for Mr.. Gilkerson doubtless because
he is democrat and we are not find
ing any particular fault with respect
to this, but at the same time Repub-
licans have not only the same party
incentive to support their nominee
but in addition thereto they know
that in all the necessary qualifca-
tions which go to make up a good
Judge their nominee is superior in
every regard.
To the members of the peoples
party in Trego county who have a
choice and who do not wish to throw
away their votes we say again that
their is no possibility in our best
judgment of electing Mr.. Rathbone.
We know that you were sadly dis
appointed when he received the NOM
ination. He was not your choice
nor the choice of your party in this
district and only received the nomi
nation on account of his own skill
and political ingenuity in the con-
vention. We think we know the
