government bonds. But not 80 does the
peoples party Of Kansas believe Not
so does Il. Il, Polk, the president Of the
Farmers National Alliance, believe, nor
does Ralph Beaumont the great labor
agitator 80 believe, and Ia II for this
that Mr. Crawford calls these gentlemen
worthless political characters"
As Mr.. Crawford now stands cheek by
jowl with the plutocRts, IL Is natural
enough for him 10 derido his former CO.
workers and all who are nj present in the
van, seeking To have established a gov.
emment that commends the doctrine
that all should seek the good Of each and
each Of all, and hence all class legisla.
tlon should be speedily abolished.

Mr. Crawford reminds the editor Of
THE ADVOCATE that he lorgets q great
mass OF noble accomplishments Of his
for the people Of Kansas, for which he
says; 81 neither had nor received from
the state 80 much as the cost Of print
Ing my bricfsW
Aud yet, he does not deny that he has
received an allowance from the Kansas
Legislature OF Si52OOO Here II might bo
pertinent TO inquire, II from other states,
this class OF work has not been per.
formed by those who we're elected to
seats in the national COngressg Ifso,
has not this work proved something Of
personal godsend TO Mr.. Crawford,
BROAD ECONOMIC VIEWS or MIR. oRAw-
FORD.
In remarlslng upon tho "robber" tariff
law, Mr.. Crawford thus explains;
should take the tariff on NJ aigilr and some
other articles entirely and ~ llOnthcroOf, double
the Internal revenue tax on tobacco and treble II
on whisky
Here IL comprehensive statesman
ship for almost anybody. Az the govern
ment now levies tax OF 90 cents Il gal
Ion on whisky, Crawiord's schSme Of
S2.7O tax per gallon on whisky perhaps
may prove a glorlously brilliant one.
THE PARTY EXPRESSION IN NATIONAL
CONVENTION.
Probably Mr.. Crawford has forgotten
what the republicans declared on this mt
the Chicago convention Of June, 1888.
Here IL Is In its iullness;
The republican party would effect M needed
reduction Of the national revenue by repeating
the taxes upon tobacco, which ARE an annoyance
and burden 10 agriculture and hO taxes upon
spirits used In thG arts and for mechanical puT-
poses, and by such revision NJ the tariff laws ag
will tend 10 check Imports OF such articles ~
are produced by our people, the production NJ
which gives employment 20 our labor, and re-
lease from Import duties those articles Of Tor
pign production except luXllrlos the like Of which
cannot bG produced ~ home, If there shall still
remain y larger revenue than il requisite for The
wants Of the government, we favor the entire re-
peal Of Int ernal t,XeS rather than the surrender
~ any part Of Our protective system 40 % Joint
behcst ~ whisky trusts and agents Of foreign
manufacturers
Can II be that this man Crawford is in
harmony with William Mckinley, jr,
the author Of the foregoing plank and
the framer Of the tariff bill that passed
the House Of Representatives on May 2l,
1902 Or, il not, who are the republican
statesmen with whom this adviser Of
Kansas farmers and mechanics and toll
ers in general, agrees2
DOES CRAWFORD AGREE wtTn SENATOR
PLUMB?
With ridicule, poor Crawford refers
to "seli-abnegating statesmen" John
Davis and the editor OF The ADVOCATE
