was s1,371, ,1O1, ,722, or s21.S4 per

team be seen from these figures
that the amount of money in circula-
ton to-day, excluding that locked up
in the treasury, the amount actually in
the channels of business among the
people, is greater per capita than for
any year in the last twelve excepting
1883 and 1885; and it is further evi-
dent that the circulation has not ma
terially decreased per capita at any
point in this entire period, but has
largely increased during the period as
whole, advancing from $17.21 in
1873 to S22 A in 189O-or about 81
per cent. In other words the increase
of money in circulation is 81 per cent
greater than the increase in pOpula-
ton.
The statement by the treasury de-
partment was made up to September
l. The increase in circulation last
month was unprecedented. Duns re-
port for the week ending yesterday
says on this point: ''Never before has
there been in any month so great an
increase in the circulation, or so large
a payment of public debt as in the
month just closed"

For the first time in our recollection
farmers have made united demand
for certain legislation in their inter
ests. These demands in the main
were reasonable, and were for such
legislation as the whole people of the
west were in favor of. As we have
often remarked in these columns, our
interests are all identical, and the
movement inaugurated and led bv the
farmers received the hearty support
and encouragement of us all. We
believed they were right, and have not
changed our opinion. The republican
party, which has always been the
friend of the people, has acceded to
our demands, and has placed itself
squarely upon the record as Icing in
favor of the reforms demanded. If
the lessons to be learned from history
are any guarantee of the fulfillment of
their pledges, then we are justified in
believing that the platforms adopted
by the republican party will be faith
fully adhered to; and when we further
consider that almost every member of
the party, particularly in the West, is
financially interested in the carrying
out of those declarations, we feel that
there can be no danger. To be more
explicit We believe that in the future
as in the past the republican party is
the party of the people and can be
more safely trusted to inaugurate and
carry out needed reforms than any of
the other parties. old or new. Already
very important legislation looking to
the relief of the people generally, has
been adopted. Great financial ques-
tions cannot be solved nor reforms ac-
complished in day. There is no, so
much difference of opinion as to wha,
we want, but the question is how we
can best secure it. As we have be-
fore intimated, our interests are all
identical. The republican party has
solemnIy pledged itself in our inter
ests. and, judging the future by the
past, we believe we can safely trust
it. We can conceive of no good reas-
on why any Republican should desert
his party at this time. The people
compose the party, and when the peo-
pie demand legislation as they are 10
ing now they will get it. The best
way to get what we want is to unite
in our own party and not weaken our
selves by dividing up. When we be-
come divided we become weaker, and
the enemy correspondingIy stronger
When the party is in full accord with
us is no time to desert it for some
thing pew and untried. When fer
the first time we make a united de /
mand, which is granted, is not the !
time to try experiments. To those
who are and have been republicans
from principle, We say that now is the
time to stand together for our common
interests.-Wa-Keeney World.

There is Live Issue in Which All
Patriots Are Interested.

There seems to be a live issue to-
day, growing out of the war, and
those most directly interested should
not allow other issues to entirely
absorb their attention. The follow
ing IS recent utterance of the
Charleston IS. CO. Netes:
Judged by the light of the official
report of its own chief, the Ct. A. K.
is thus shown to be anything but
the noble, high-spirited organization
that it should be; and, looked at in
its relations to the country, it is a
most harmful and dangerous body.
The 100000 members Of that or
ganization have 10000 votes, and,
banded together as they are, they
exercise a control over the state
governments of the North and over
congress that renders it almost i'm
possible to defend the treasury
against any raid they choose to
make on it. Even when they are
all dead the country will not be safe
from them, for their widows are en-
titled to pensions, and they are now
organizing their sons into separate
camps, doubtless. with the purpose
of perpetuating in their families the
tribute which they have wrung from
their fellow-citizens.
And the New Orleans Times char
acterized the G.. A. R., while recent
ly in session at Boston, as "The
roaring asses of the Grand Army of
pension grabbers.'' These are only
samples selected from a number of
leading papers published in the
South. We have heard of the lion
and the lamb lying down side by
side, but the lamb was on the inside.
Yes, we believe in peace and har-
mony, but it would be a good idea
for our Grand Army men to keep on
the outside. They have, after
quarter of a century of patient wait
ing, secured a partial recognition of
their just claims against the govern
ment. They should now see to it
that the proper disbursing commit
tee is kept on guard.

School Formulation.

The following is the school popu-
lation of some Of our western coun-
ties as CLEANED from the apportion-
ment of the state school fund for
the year 1890. This will give an
idea of the population of these
counties. Multiplying the school
population by p will give about
the total population. This divided
by five will approximate the num-
Der Of voters in each county. Of
course no infalIible rule can be
given that will apply in all commu-
mites, but we believe the above will
be about right in western Kansas.

Dried Beef vs.. Ham.

In an open letter to the Oakley
Graphic D. Rathbone says, among
other good things, that he owns
and operates farm; and in speaking
of various trusts uses the following
language:
Every farmer is reminded of the
effect of this trust when he is COM
PEELED to sell to it COW at from s.
to Sl2 and hogs in the same proper
ton and to buy of Phil. Armour a
ham at from Is to Is cents per
pound or 10 cents per pound for
round steak. 1t is then that they
have convincing proof that a trust
decreases the price of the raw ma
terial (the cow and increases the
price of the manufactured article
1.-THE ham, and that the trust and
not the producer is benefited by the
appreciation in price.
Now We think the idea is all right
so far as the trusts are concerned,
but if Dave does own and operate a
farm he ought to know that if the
raw material is the cow the manu-
featured article would be dried beef
and not ham. It's just such little
breaks as these that cause us To lose
confidence in a mans statements
sometimes. Rathbone is a good
lawyer, but we will wager a years
against one of his legal
opinions, that he can't tell how
many front teeth a COW has.

Treqo County Alliance Nominations

The Trego County Alliance met

for county officers. The ticket as it
now stands is as follows:

Probate Judge, J. NJ. WEIGH
Superintendent of Schools, MISS LIZZIE COOPER
County Attorney, g. r. COwICK
Commissioner, 1st Dist, JOSHUA MUsGRAvE
Commissioner, ID Dist, DANIEL PERsHING
|. L. McGarvie, candidate for rep
sentative, is farmer, an old soldier
and has heretofore been a Republi-
can. Helives in Ogallah township.
A. W. Purinton. candidate for
district clerk, is resident of Collyer
township, farmer, has always, we
believe, been identified with the Re-
publican party.
Capt. ]. M. Welch lives in Wa
Keeney township, is a farmer, an
old soldier, and has always voted the
Republican ticket.
Miss Lizzie Cooper resides in
Ogallah township aud has been en-
gagged in teaching in Trego county
for several years. We don't know
what her political predictions are
but her brother, A. B. Cooper, has
been a Democrat since we knew him
and we presume the lady holds to
the same political faith. If this is
true, Miss Cooper is the only Demo
crat on the ticket.
S. R. Cowick is and always has
been a Republican.
Joshua Musgrave, candidate for
commissioner of the first district, is
a farmer and has always affiliated
with the Republican party.
Daniel Pershing is at present
commissioner of the second district,
holding the Office by appointment,
and is now the alliance candidate
for election. He is a farmer and
has always been Republican.
