000, 900 that had hitber been locked mp
in the treasury apd at the Same time
provided for 5 steady addition Of not
fess than two and q half millions
month to our circulation. He failed
to state also that another law passed
by this Congress, provided for the dis
tribution of at least 10 and perhaps go
millions Of this money annually among
the people.
We have not space to trace In detail
ell the errors into (which his lack of
information led him when he came to
speak of the relation of National banks
to the Government and the people, for
there was hardly an atom of truth in
all that he said. He said that the
Government does not make money for
anybody but National bankers. That
Is not true. The National bank notes
constitute the only money made by
the Government for the bankers, and
the outstanding notes constitute less
than one third of the money
of the United States. He said
the Government paid the pensions
and the salaries of all Its officials
through the banks. That Is not true.
He left the inference, il he did not
literally say, that National hanks are
allowed to use their own money which
they paid for bonds, as we'll as the 90
per cent of the face value of the bonds
issued to them by the Government.
That is not true. He left the inference
banks Is making them fabulously rich,
but he failed to state that the banks
are surrendering that circulation at
the rate of $50, 900 900 month because
they cannot afford to keep it. He
argued that the Government should
loan money to private citizens on real
estate security at two per cent. interest.
He failed to state how much the mon
ey would be worth when everybody
got all he wanted.
In closing his speech Mr.. Allen paid
noble tribute to Mr.. Funston when
he said, 1.-THE congressman who.have
been brought out by the people and
not by the politicians and the corpora
tons, hare stood By the people," And
he also gave the people good advice
when he told them that they should
vote for their own interests. The peo-
pie will do that I'm the Second district
by voting for f. H. Funston who has
served their interests faithfully and
well for six years.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Mr.. Allen had o good deal to say
about the wholesale rate at which farm
mortgages were being foreclosed.
Within twenty feet of where he stood
were records showing that just six Al
len county farms have been sold by
the sheriff during the first six months
of this year.
Mr.. Allen says he only got his eyes
open eight months ago to the iniq uity
of the Republican party. 1t Is rather
q striking coincidence that just about
eight months ago another man was
appointed to a Federal office for which
Mr.. Allen had been an active candi-
date.

anything, let her send In her bill and
Pl pay it!'
Rditrodd Ldborer:: "Mr. Allen said
that If a man was discharged from one
railroad he couldn't get a Job on any
other one in the u. s. That isn't SO.
Charlie Goemmcr was working on the
section on the Wichita road and was
discharged. He went right over to
the s. X. Section and got job the
next day. Then 1 know another fell
low who was discharged for cause
from one section on the Mo. Pac. and
got job on the very next section on
the same road"

Mr.. Allen says he voted the Repub-
lican ticket 80 years before he saw that
its policy had brought the country to
the verge of ruin. If 1t took him 80
years to see what was right under his
nose, is he a bright enough man to
send to Congress?
"Pap." Hayward's speech of 5
minutes had more "pinth to 1t than
Mr.. Aliens hour address. "NoU!"
-
Can any one remember one of the
remedies Mr.. Allen prescribed for the
cure of the ills that now affiict us? Did
he outline any policy that he would
favor, If elected, and which would
bring good times?
Il Bystdndcr. "ff Mr.. Hayward
thought at the time that s., 900 was too
big salary for him as treasurer, why
did he put In his bill to the commits
sioners at the rate of S3,0O0,-S1, 900
year more than the law allowed? And
If he thinks 81 800 year was all he
ought to have had, whys don't he re-
turn the other $500 to the treasury as
conscience money!"
"Pdp." Hayward: I'VE are not
fighting the Republican party or the
Democratic party. 1t is the si,,Iycuts
we are fighting. Nopm
