A CHALLENGE TO SENATOR IN
CALLS.

The state central committe OF the al
lance party has challenged Senator In
gals to a joint discussion of political
issues with Judge W. A. PETER. The
challenge appeared in the Advocate and
is as follows:
Rooms OF THE STATE CENTRAL COMMIT
TIE, PEoPLE's PARTY, TOPEKA, Sep
tember 29
To Hon. John J. Insalls, Atchison, Kan.
SIR:-The undersigned, representing
the peoples party in the state Of Kan
sas, respectfully submit for your con-
sideration the following, and express
the wish that your convenience will
justify an early and favorable response.
WHEREAS, There is general com.
plant among hand workers, more es-
pecially among farmers, and particular
ly farmers OF Kansas, that wages OF
labor are not remunerative, that farm.
ing is improbable. that debtors are un-
able to pay their debts, that homes o:
the people are fast passing into the
hands OF creditors, and that there is
nothing in the business situation which
promises relief; and,
WHEREAS, 1t is coming to be the be-
lief of large numbers OF citizens, with.
out respect to calling. and especially OF
farmers and laborers, that the depres.
sion complained of is attributable large
". if not wholly, to "vicious legisla.
t;on,- and that it can be removed and
the situation permanently relieved only
through change in our laws and ad.
ministrative methods; and,

MONEY OUT.
iu the wa,

The monthly treasury statement oI
the amount of money in circulation
shows an increase for September ol
S62,O09,767. This is attributed mainly
to bond redemption and payment of in
| terest. The circulation of the country
on October l is placed at $1,49S,O72,
7O9, against s1,4O5,01S,O00 a year age
An increase for twelve months of SS3..
O54,709 1t will be seen from these
figures that the silver legislation came
none too soon. The apprehension from
! this time forward of decrease will not
be SO apparent in business.
But this is only temporary. The
more we become Independent of foreign
countries in our industrial development.
the more will the American idea of
money for circulation grow. And there
is an American idea in this respect, as
well as in industrial economy. The
European idea is to have labor at the
lowest cost and money at the highest
purchasing power-or the least in vol
ume possible. That makes wealth with
the few inevitable and permanent. In
America the idea is to have money
abundant and labor at the highest
standard, for this method diffuses
wealth and stimulates activity.
We have now 64,000,0O0 of people,
and the needs OF an increased circula.
tion are beginning to be felt. The COIN
age of silver, even if free. woa.l not be
permanent relief 1t is as inevitable
as time itself that the gr@enhack-or
legal tender paper-question is to be q
practical one In the near future. The
popular mind is fast getting hold
OF the true theory OF rnoney-that it is
a thing Of law, not Of nature, and when
this greenback question becomes a
practical one again, the metal men will
be astonished at the strength Of the
legal tender idea. Then again, the
matter has been tremendously advanced
by the decision of the supreme court
that congress has the power, inherent,
to issue legal tender paper at any time.
This question must be settled by actual
issue as a feature of our national
finances before the great labor question
can Be practically reached. But it is
coming and coming to win.-R. T. Ven
