Republican State Convention.

The Republican state convention met
i'm Topeka on the 3rd and adopted
lengthy platform. Free coinage of sill
yer Is demanded and an increase of
the volume OF currency; laws 70: a free
ballot; protection AS expounded by
James q. Blaine. Trusts are denounced
and prohibition is fully endorsed. These
are some of the leading planks, and the
usual Republican jugglery crops out, in
the reelection of j. j. Ingalls,. The
convention is in favor of free coinage of
silver and an increase i'm the volume of
currency, but it fivOrs the election of a
man to the United States senate, who
who. when occasion required, voted for
contraction. The inconsistency is so
olaring that we can reach no other con-
clusion but that the convention is insin-
sere; and its action is on par with a
Nan resolving to have a guard set over
his horse and employing a thief for the
guard. The same may be said of any
measure of national scope, for i'm all the
eighteen years of Ingalls, incumbency,
not once, when it came to a vote, has
Ingalls, voted for the people of Kansas.
Any man who is misled by the Topeka
platform into believing that the demand
for free coinage Of silver or increased
volume Of currency is for other purpose
than to deceive, is indeed credulous.
Either the Republican party does not
want tariff reform, free coinage of sill
yer and all increase i'm the circulating

For some years, a number OF Kan
sas newspapers have been agitating
the question of the state publishing
its own school text books, and it was
confidently expected that the last leg
islature would make move in that
direction. The reason has now come
light $50 we learn from a reliable
sOurce), and it is that the school book
companies bought our age-Of-consent
senate, add that, too, for the beggarly
sum of $1,000. Verify, the price of
statesmen is coming down to a par
with the price of farm products.
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1890-09-15

The subsidized press have for years
been lying to the farmers about the law
of supply and demand, by claiming that
prices paid farmers were all that de-
mand would justify; that when an arti-
ticle was scarce the demand being
greater than the supply, competition for
the possession Of the desired article adj
vanced it's price, while the abundance of
an article made competition less act
i've, and hence the price remained low.
That this is not the case under past and
present conditions is obvious. Markets
are controlled by bulls and bears, the
rule being to agree upon plane for
their struggle far below this real price of
the article to be bought and sold, and
when the struggle begins it has no limit
below, but is limited by the real value
above. Thus we see by the operations
of the bulls and bears the farmer has all
to lose and nothing to gal. and we
venture to say that the farmers have not
sold single crop in twenty pears upon
the basis OF the law of supply and de-
mand. and TO the best of our recOllec-
ton, not congress has set for almost
that period, to which its attention was
not called by faamers in some locality,
to the fact that the dealers in futures,
puts and calls, the gamblers in farm
products, were robb ng the farmers of
millions of dollars. Year after year
this robbery went on unchecked and
unheeded, until within the past year, the
farmers determined upon new line of
action; they are going into politics;
they have quit praying; they are going
to teach congress that congressman are
servants, not masters; they are going to
teach congress that farmers are people
as well AS are grain gamblers; they are
going to teach congress that wealth pro-
ducers have as good rights under the
constitution as non-producers. In brief,
the farmers are into politics, head over
ears, and they will stay in politics from
this lime henceforth, until every Tory
plutOcrat has stepped down and out.

A ddress all communications, etc., TO
the otice at Greeley.


AS was predicted in the columns of
the AGIrATOR, the hatch of promises
for this campaign would be unusually
large, owing to the Alliance movement
The Republican hatch Of promises was
taken off at Topeka on the Bird, and in
addition, the old chicks were brought
out and exhibited. Some of the old
birds are well enough, for there was a
time when the Republican breed of
chickens was vigorous and profitable;
but that time has long passed, for the
new breed has been crossed with the
English buzzard and Wall street crow,
until all the people receive in return for
the food furnished at the public crib, is
lot of cawing and growing. No breed
of chickens but is liable to degenera-
ton, but when pains has been taken to
breed down. the result is that degenera-
ton is rapid and far-reaching. Living
on the fame of ancestry is too English,
and too un-American for the people of
Kansas, who heartily believe in the doc
trine of every tub on it's own bottom,
and the Republican party is now judged
by what it is, and not by what it was,
and hence the verdict from that stand
point is, that any promise it may now
make is unworthy OF confidence. The
people of Kansas have not forgotten
that the Republican party, some ten
years ago, promised such railroad legis-
latiOn AS would effectually protect the
shipper against the cXtortion of railroad
companies, and they do not forget that
while there was a great show of keeping
that promise, yet the laws passed were
both inadequate and imperative. Two
years ago the Republican party prom
ised the people that the contract rate of
interest should be reduced from twelve
TO ten per cent, and while the promise
was kept, yet the law is imperative be-
cause the penalty is inadequate. If
promises made by the Republican party
had been faithfully kept, the people
would not now be in the position OF
comparative serfs to as heartless and
unscrupulous horde of Shy locks as ever
cursed a brave and generous people.

More Jugglcry.

Farmers and others, have been asking
for an antitrust law, and after long
years of waiting, in which the people
were robbed by trusts and combinations
of billions of dollars, Honest (?) John
Sherman and Foghorn Funston, after
having done enough committee sitting
to have Matched a full-grown, good-sized
nation, presented to their respective
bodies a bill known AS the antitrust,
ant-combine bill, the first section OF
which, in substance, provides that !:
contracts, combinations, trusts, con-
spiracies entered into in restraint of
trade, either in the states or with for
eign nations, shall be illegal, and atfiX
as penalty. This bill became a law in
time to catch the knights of Labor who
recently struck on the New York Cen
trail railroad, and it is held by grave
senators that the strike is conspiracy
and violation of the antitrust bill.
See the hand of honest ~ John Sher-
man whose every move is for putOcracy
and against the people! And where
was John Jeems when that bill passed?
AS we don't know, we refer the ques-
ton to the Garnett Eagle, that stated,
some time ago, that on Il certain Occas-
ion John Jeems had his coat off work
ing for the bill. Twenty years waiting
for an antitrust bill, and we have law
that downs the Knights of Labor.
Twenty years waiting anG weary with
waiting, the Alliance proposed TO so in
to the cities and establish warehouses
and stOck-yards SO that farmers might
deal direct with consumers, when 10, the
honest (?) John, the one with the seat
of his trousers frayed with committee
sitting, and with breast sweled TO I'M
usual proportions with long years of
pent-up honesty ID, and the other with
his coat off and covered all over with
the iridescent glow of two coats of
whitewa.h, and with loud pretenSes of
needing the farmers wishes, have secur
ed law that will, we believe, pl event
the Alliance from applying the only
remedy it had under a plutocratc adj
ministratiOn.

REPUBLICAN GRATITUDE.
HOW THE SOLDIERS PENSIONS HAVE BEEN
USED AS POLITICAL LEVER
IN CLOSE STATES.

IN CLOSE STATES.
1t is a fact which the records show
that several thousand more soldiers
have resided in Kansas for ten years
past than nj any other state. In view
of this fact, how does it look to the old
soldiers Of this state to see 56,233 SOL
diers on the pension roll in Ohio up to
June 80, drawing over eleven millions
dollars the past fiscal year? Kansas
has twice the number of soldiers with
in her boundaries that Indiana con-
tains, yet Indiana has so, l64 pensiners
on the rolls, drawing $S, $780, 600 the last
fiscal year. Over 1000 of this number
were put on in seven months, from
Dec. LIST, 'S9 to July LIST, go. Close
state "politically," see? Indiana gets
more pensions that Illinois, (Which is
considered reliably Republican,, al
though Illinois sent $4,000 more men
to the army. Now, compare the above
statement from official sources with
the account in Iowa, Nebraska and
Kansas. Kansas has more soldiers
than both these states combined, but
the g. o. p. chances for holding Iowa
are dubious, so the list Of pensioners
begins to grow in that state, 20,S92 be-
ing on the rolls June Both. Nebraska
is still considered safe for the g. 0. p.
(they will hear from the Peoples par
ty in November) and had but 1850
on the rolls June 30th-32, 261 in both
states enrolled at Des Moines Pension
Agency, and paid $4,465, 1926 last
year. These figures show that $4,000
soldiers in Ohio or Indiana get as
much money as $4,000 in Iowa and
Nebraska. See "the point" again, old
soldier.
Now, we should naturally suppose
that state giving the g. o. p. MAORI
ties of from $4,000 to 49, 900 would feel
under obligations to the old soldiers
and their SONS in Kansas, and that in
this state according to numbers, at
least $4,000 to 60,000old soldiers would
be on the rolls at Topeka. but the truth
has never before been told them, and
they now learn for the first time that
of the 10000 in this state only 1904
were on the rolls at the Topeka Agen-
cy June 30th, and they draw about one
fourth the amount of money paid in
Indiana. Grand evidence, this, ofthe
''undying gratitude" and devotion of
the g. o. p. to the old soldiers of Kan
sas for their big majorities in past
years. No use looking after soldiers
of Kansas, says the party boss, they ali
vote the ticket VIC label without ques-
ton. Old soldiers, do you now begin
to sec the perfdy and hypocrisy of the
gang with ingalls, at its head, you
have trusted and kept in power over
you since the close of the WARP Isn'i
it time for change ?-"Old Soldier,
