Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1890-11-03
The Money Power

Means something. 1t is strong, pow
erfnl, aggressive. Whatever it deter
mines is apt to be done, unless resisted
with equal energy and determination.
The meney power represents a class
distinct from the mass OF the people.
It Is organized and stimulated by se f
ish interests and ambitious aims, in
which all its energies are absorbed,
and around which all its hopes cluster.
Managed, as is often the case, by un-
principled, crafty, shrewd men, it is
hot strange that il should produce
crises, panics and suffering, in carry
ing out the accomplishment of it's de-
signs. And hence, it isapOwer for
evil, that should be Stunned and re-
sisted by the people. 1t is constant
danger, a recurring presence, an un-
resting menace, which causes appre-
hension and disturbance through all
the causes of business and trade.
Who, that loves comfort, peace and
stability, would not protest and rise
up against such power? Would
not resist with all his powers, its spe-
cious designs and Over-reaching,
grasping disposition
1t is the power, entrenched on Wall
street and backed by the national
banks, that has placed obstacles in the
way OF the financial reforms which
the friends OF silver coinage have in
augurated. 1t has used its money
power and corrupting influence to
stop all legislation that has been ini-
tiated to bring back silver TO its origi-

Corporate Power and Legislation.

Corporations, with millions ofmon-
ey behind them, whether they be COR
porations controlling transportation
or the sale Of any one commodity, as
the Standard Oil trust, naturally seek
TO shape legislation in the States
where they operate.
The means employed by corpora
tions, which in most cases enjoy
chartered privileges at the expense of
the people, is the use ofmoney through
corrupt officials.
The recent troubles between the
New York Central Railway Com.
pany and its employees have shown
10 what extent the legislation of a
State may be manipulated by one
corporation. 1t will be remembered
that the New York Central is a cor
poraticn witt many mi'lioRs OF capi-
tai behind it, enjoying privileges in
the State of New York worth many
millions more annually.
The President of this corpora
ton, Mr.. Webb, boasted that he has
5000, 100000 to spend if necessary to
destroy the influence Of organized
labor in that State. He also says that
zone of the paid employees OF agents
of the New York Central is regularly
elected Speaker of the General Assem-
bly, and Conductor of the New York
Legislature" Note the railway lang
uage used, Conductor of the New
York Legislature"
1t has often been asserted that this
corporation, by the vote it controls in
the rural districts and by the vote it
can buy of Tammany in New York
city, controls the state legislature.
This fact accounts for the utter disre-
gard the Central has for the laws of
the state and the rights of the people
10 protection under civil authorities
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1890-11-03

in hiring Pinkerton detectives to ad-
minister the laws of the great state of
Now York. These hirelings of this
great moneyed corporation, acting
under orders from Mr.. Webb, fired
into crowds of men, women and
children indiscriminately, without
the least fear Of the state, because
they were only obeying the COM
mands of the officials Of a corporation
whose power was known to be great
er than that of the state that created
it. Can such legislature protect the
weak against the millions used to
crush them--a legislature controlled
by a set of men whose "GOd is the
Almighty Dollar, and to gain that
God would cruelty Jesus every hour
in the day." 30 far as DENYING the
principles he taught--a legislature
presided over by paid hireling of
such a corporation, and the ''laborer
must be worthy of his hire"
New York is not the only state
whose legislation is Influenced by the
gold OF mammoth cOrporations-cor-
porate power is looking after speaker
ships everywhere, and when Georgia
has had her railway monopoly, some
times called "terminal SYSTEM" as
long as New York has had hers, the
of Georgia will be as COM
pletely under its control as in New
York. 1t is the same power-Wall
street behind both Systems"
And who is to blame for all this
protection thrown around capital !?
The people-the voters of these states
the poor and needy. Congress il
full to overfiowing with bankers aid
money-lenders, while the Uniled
States Serste is q den Of railroad
magnates, milliOnaires-men who
draw salaries as officers of corpora
tions larger than their salaries AS SELL
ators. The Senate Of the United
States is now truihfully called the
"House of American Lords" 1t is
here that corporate power reigns su-
preme and the will of the people is
respected least, yet when we ask who
put these plutocrafts in power, only
one answer comes-the people-the
voters.
II this is to be country governed
by the people, let The people assert
their rights and elect MEN TO Office
not plutocrats-vOte for men of known
integrity and devotion to the people,
and not those who are in any way
connected with corporations-men
who are entirely from under the infiu-
ence of corporate power.
The greatest fight the American
people have yet seen is upon us-it
is the fight between labor and capi-

There is q tradition amongst the Indi-
ans that away back in the dusky hitherto
knowledge Of a cave of gold was DOS
sessed by an Indian family on the Sau-
geen peninsula, who handed the secret
down from father to son and guarded it
with jealous care. The cave was sup
posed to be situated somewhere on the
Spanish river, and once a year the head
of the family paid a visit to it and
brought away sufficient gold to last him
for twelve months. About $50 years ago
the then son, being enticed away from
his native guilelessness by intercourse
with the crafty palefaoe, put up job on
the old man, and patiently dogge1 his
footsteps when he went on his yearly ex-
pedition.
The unsuspecting father had filled his
firebag with gold, and was turning to
leave the cave, when he saw shadow
lurking at the entrance. Quick as thought
he raised his gun and fired, and the fig
ure fell. When he got out he found that
he had shot his son, and in the agony of
his grief drew his hunting knife and
stabbed himself to the heart, his body
falling across that Of his son. There the
skeletons lie to this day, and any one
who molests them may expect the treat
ment which all naughty boys receive
when they meddle with what does not
concern them.-Manitoulin Expositor.

who was powerless to enforce his writ
and omitted to erect one the Judge
who in issuing the writ and enforcing
its precept, dehed the State authorities
and rendered himselfliab to impeach-
ment at the hand of g revolutionary,
violent maddened band of conspirators
in the Federal Congress. This move
ment should not be confined to one
profession, it should be as you suggest,
the act of the Peopls-the voluntary
act Of the people. Seldom has it been
the fortune of a people to have such
an occasion. Happy Is a people who
can produce man, who on such a
crises comes up to the full measure of
a man and patriot and does a deed
that should go sounding down the ages.
Every historian of England tells how
the Judge ordered the heir to the
Throne to be sent to prison for an act
of contempt committed in his presence.
What State in the American Union
can point to such an honorable event
in the life of any one of her Judges as
we can in North Carolina in telling of
Judge Brooks fearless conduct in this
"epochal hour and time of crisis.'
"How long will the people of the.
State let such noble episodes as this
and many others we can recall, remain
union ored?"

Eat Nothing with Fish,

| think it is wise plan that an Eng.
lish friend OF nine tells me Sir Morell
Mackenzie adopts in his own family, and
has caused to be followed by many Of his
friends and patients-that of never allow
ing bread on the table when he has fish
there. Under no circumstances will he
eat, or permit to be eaten, fish or bread
at the same time. He holds that the
presence of bread in the mouth prevents
the detection of the presence of bone,
which is lodged in the throat before it is
discovered, and strangulation follows.
The wisest way is certainly to eat fsh
alone, never with bread or similar sub
stances, for there is much danger in fish
bones.-St Louis Globe Democrat.

PEOPLE WHO CAN'T SPELL.
Distinguished and Educated Persons VIII
Misspell Their English.

Distinguished and Educated Persons Who
Misspen Their English.
A clever young Harvard instructor
was once heard to say, II really never
dare correct students misspelling till
have looked in the dictionary"
Just as ], answered a clever woman
quickly, never dare use feeble lest
spell it feeble" The lady was unde,
the impression that the word should be
spelled "feable."
A great and universal contempt is felt
for the person who misspells. But some
OF the wisest men and the best have had
the misfortune Of being unable alway:
to marshal their letters correctly.
A Cambridge provision dealer tells OF
receiving an order for salt 'mackrel'
from Harvard professor.
A bill made out by one of the leading
pedagogues Of a neighboring city con-
cluded with "ballance due" Those who
know will tell that the sermons Of dis.
tinguished clergymen sent up for print
ing frequently abound in errors of this
kind.
Cobbett, in his grammar, loved to give
instances Of bad spelling and ungram-
matical language in kings speeches. The
Father of his Country had his own sys-
tenn Of spelling and his wife had another
and very different one. A brilliant ac-
tress whom we all admire invariably
spells Tuesday Teusday.
Napoleon was not correct speller,
and the Iron Duke slipped often. The
misfortune is often an inherited one, and
whole families unto their remotest
branches and twigs will show the same
weakness
What" says Maj. Pendennis, would
you marry woman who spelt affection
with one f:' Why not woman as well
as man? If correct spelling were neces-
sary to the marriage state she might ask
how many Of our presidents weuld be
doomed to celibacy: Gen. Taylor and
Andrew johnson would scarcely have
read their title clear to husbandhood.-
