WE notice by some of our exchanges

We notice by some Of our exchanges
that "non- partisan Alliance" paper
has been started at Cherryvale, but
the "boys" say that the name of the
editor does not appear. However, we
learn through the Neosho Falls Post
that j. w. Richardson is the editor:
That explains the disgust expressed
by our reform brethren III speaking of
the sheet. We are well acquainted
with him. He was once the publisher
of the Garrett Republican; later, of
the Garnet Eagle; later, of several
other papers. He is sort of tramp
editor" He goes to town and
stays as long as he can gull the peo-
pie, and the seeks new pastures. He
don't know plow from a threshing
machine, and has no love for the
farmer, unless said farmer happens to
wear good clothes. He is a Republic
All, or claims to be, and works simply
and solely for ducats and fattery.
Pass him around.
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1890-10-06

We notice an article in a paper
printed in sister state bcwailing the
demoralizing influence of our pro-
hibitory law, which caused the seeker
after Missouri hell juice to violate the
law before he could indulge his inno-
cent passion, while in the land OF the
free lie could enjoy liquid damnation
under the refining influences Of legis-
lative approval, surrounded with all
the comforts and embellishments Of
the gilded houses of sin. So it is the
law that makes. ,it.a crime, is it2rnIs
it no crime for man to indulge his
brutal passions to the injury Of him
self and the peril Of his fellowmen.
Oh, no it is no crime unless made so
by the law, and we have the awful
responsibility. of causing our rum
soaked topers to commit a crime every
time they pour the poison.down their
callous outlets, Colony Free Press.

in advance? ss'tis' Z ts qe
Why not pay interest Oh the gov
eminent bonds given to the Union
Pacific Railroad, ten or twenty years
in advanced ,t 'i
Then, why not issue more bonds,
sell them to those thus favored. letting
them have bonds in lieu of cash, and
compel the damphools of farmers and
laboring men generally to pay the in
terest OIL all these bonds, at least one
year in advance?
Why, damphools? .'s
Because they go right on, year after
year, raising children for hog feed, in
stead of cutting loose from the preju-
dice that makes them slaves, and
uniting and electing a congress that
will replace the old and make new
laws.
The road to Jericho was a Saint's
Rest, compared 10 the one lined by the
old parties, one of which ;robs till
weary, then sleeps to regain strength
while the other robs. Thus they rob
and rob about, and poverty, hard
times, the sheriff and the property
absorber stalk over the land, bringing
the present generation to despair and
the coming generations into slavery.

notice the lengthy Republican plat

4th. "Frse coinage of silver" w.
We might have passed the senate
bill on free coinage, but for a Repub-
lican; but Harrison would have We
toed it, which would have hurt the
party.
1.-The present bill rapidly in creases

Yes, and both houses of congress
have invested largely in the specula-
ton.
9Th. at demands free ballot"

That is worded to suit their pur-

and carrying home silver bricks.

DRY law. Yes, and Republican judg-
es attempted to nullify the law. That
was just feeler to see if we would
stand it.
Now all the laws that the party adj
mits are wrong, they also know will
remain wrong as long as the party is
in power. The Harrison campaign
worker told the people of Colorado
they would remonetize silver and coin

Another Official Disregard Of

nv of the Treasury Window made
bold play into the hands of ,favorite'
by beginning the payment OF ont
years interest in advance of falling
due on government 4 per cent. bonds
From September 10th to October 10th
the clerical force Of treasury depart.
ment is making out checks and for.
warding them by mai! to those who
in this or other countries hold U. S.
bonds that were given out years ago
for greenback money called in and
burned in order to provide bonds for
the millionaires. These bonds are
generally deposited in the treasury
for safe keeping, free. of charge to
the owners. AS tie interest, is sent
out, on the face of the bonds will be
stamped Interest due January. LIST,
April LIST, July LIST, 1891, prepaid"
The one years interest thus to be
paid Oh outstanding "fours" amounts
to $23,453,546. Among the largest
holders of these bonds given out for
legal tender greenback money, taken
in and destroyed in order to make
money scarce and the rate of interest
higher for the benefit of usurerS, is
the Bowery bank, New York City,
$20,0O0,000; Brooklyn Savings bank,
$1O,0O0,000; Standard Oil Company
Trust, $2O,OOO,OOO; Atlantic Insur-
ance Company, 100000; the Van
derbilts, $25,OOO,OO0; National Banks,
$125,OOO,OOO.
Secretary Window has no more le-
gal right or authority to pay this in
terest for one year or one day before
it is due than he has to pay the entire
bonded debt, principal and interest.
No more legal right to thus throw
1923, 453, 546 into hands of favorites,
than he has TO pay the salaries of all
the employees Of the people, from
president down 10 postal delivery
clerk, for one year or ten years in adj
vance.
But it shows the utter disregard
the present party i'll power has for
the people, and the party now in
power in Washington ransacking the
place, differs not whit from the ad-
ministration that preceded it, as
both are the machine hirelings of the
bondholders and national bank COM
bimatiUns.
The government rakes the country
from hilltop to furrow skins il. of all
it dares boards it in the treasury, and
to accommodate the money lenders, thus
steps in, takes out $23,000OOO, and
kindly hands it out to those who, as
bondholders, are exempt from taxa
ton, and much given to pleasure in
foreign countries.
Why not pay Harrison's salary the
full term in advance?
Why not pay each member Of his
cabinet his full salary in advance?
Why not pay each senator his sal
airy six years in advance?
Why not pay each congressman his
two years salary in advance?
Why not pay each judge and cou:t
official his salary in advance

WHEN the Wall street stock and
gold gamblers and bankers get in
tight place, President Harrison and
Secretary Window rush to the rescue !;
but when the farmers find themselves
in destitute circumstances, and are
about to lose their homes, and send
petitions to congress asking for relief,
they are sneered at by the autocratic
rulers and are told that they are too
extravagant; that they do not need
the comforts Of life; that their chill
dren need no education and no decent
clothes; that organs, buggies, and
other things that 60 to make life
pleasant are not intended for clOd-
hoppers or laborers that they should
be satisfied to live as their forefathers
did. They are told to 60 to work and
"raise more corn and less hell" Then,
when they raise good crop, and fail
to get decent price for it, they are
told that they have raised too much
there is an ''over-production." Just
study these facts, gentlemen.
