Topeka Capital, Sept. 10, still barking
and bowling about the heels OF our great
farmers movement.
On the principle that q PROSTATE and
struggling foe should not be "struch

desist. Yet there are two points, one i'm
portant the other personal, which | will
merely mention.
Mr.. O. labors hard on the subject oi
the currency question, 10 show that there
has been no damaging contraction Of the
currency since the war. When he getl
through he finds that, according TO hif
own figuring, we have less than half the
amount Of money per capita that we had
in 1s00I This Mr. @. would have us be.
lleve Is very satisfactory state Of things
And, why mott II correct, ii only doubles
the weight Of oil monetary obligations on
the shoulders Of the tax payersI Who
would think Of grumbling at a mere
doubling Of his debts, taxes and moneta-
ry burdensH
But Mr.. C.s figuring is not correct
Senator Plumb puts the amount Of money
ahoat, outside Of the U. s. treasury and
bank vaults, at about ten dollars (Sl0) per
capita. Mr.. N. A. Dunning, Of Washing
ton City, a very eminent authority on
this subject, puts the per capita still low
er. place these standard and reliable
authorities against the hired Hessian Of
the money power and let the matter rest.
Mr.. O. thinks 1 have spent about five
days In each week, for fifteen years, away
from home, hindering men from their
business and making men dissatisfied.
Why, bless his sweet, innocent little
soul, he does me about four or five times
too much credit. think one day in each
week would cover all absences from home
during the past senenteen years. And
these absences we're mostly In obedience
TO urgent requests. Among the most ur-
gent and importunate Of these requests

Lodge Election Bill.

To ne Editor Of the Dispatch;
I think il useless for southern writers 10
waste their time IN an effort to convince
the people of the South that il would DO
unwise for them to boycott the North IN
the event that the Lodge election bill be-
comes a law. Nineteen-twentietbs of our
people never believed it TO be the proper
thing to do. and our newspaper CORE
spondents are doing positive harm in the
North by their arguments addressed TO
southern people against a boycott by them (;
they create the impression on henorthern
mind that the use Of the boycott ia the
event of the passage of the Federal cleo
ton bill, is advocated by large portion OF
our people. This is very far from the
truth. as has been clearly demonstrated by
the Dispatch and other leading newspapers
in the South.
| agree with you. Mr.. Editor, that 1t
would result in good, and therefore Is the
right thing TO do. that our Chambers Of
Commerce throughout the South ought to
hold meetings and enter a dignifed and
strong protest against the passage OF the
infamous bill and appeal TO the business
men OF the North TO hold mass-meetlngs
and adopt such measures as Will DO enec-
tive in its defeat.
If the sentiment in the North among
both Democrats and Republicans is rs ex-
tensive against the bill rs it is claimed to
be by northern newspapers. let them hold
meetings andprotest against the injustice
and injury with which we OF the south
particularly are being threatened in such
a manner as will clearly demonstrate the
sincerity of their professions. and the Da-
venport-Lodge bill will soon DO dead
cock in the PIT" This is the only way that
the great evil can be warded off. and IL
greatly surprises our people that our
northern friends have not acted more
promptly and vigorously in the premises.
Let the South take Senator Daniels adj
vice and keep cool and quiet.

the boundary lines.l :,
The document is signed and dated
"Dunmore," july 8, 1774; 1ith year OF the
reign of George III.
The outline of the boundaries in accord
ance with this grant depended entirely
upon the existence TO certain trees, as the
following extract shows:

crossing the creek to VT oaks, so poles
