Mr.. NATHAN HIATT, of Barry coun-
ty writes:
Of all the villianous schemes of rob-
berry ever perpetrated upon any peo-
pie, the national banking system is the
most predominant. 1t has made mil
lionaires and money lords; it has Gre
ated and established a privileged
class of men entrenched in power
which should belong exclusively to
the government, and not to any indi-
vidual OF class of men. 1t is nations
suicide to grant class of men so much
power as has been given through the
national banking system, because
money is power-money is the great
leaver which moves the world, and
no republican government can long
exist after bequeathing so much pow
er to a class OF men as has been done
in our government. Let politicians
and office-seekers howl about tariff,
protection, free trade and free coinage
of silver, but there is one thing must
declare to you in the name Of Eternal
truth: we must have legislation that
will stop this national banking sys-

LET not Republican conventions
bother themselves with drafting and
adopting long platforms, but rather
devote their serious attentions to the
nomination of good strong men for the
offices.-Cidcinnati Commercial Ga
zette.
Correct. The platforms that the
party put on paper are only for the
purpose Of catching votes. 1t is the
unwritten Doodle platform that inter-
ests the cars Of the party so much.
Now we suggest that the ring bosses
in 1892 nominate Boss Quay for presi-
dent and Gar Reed for vice-president
and hold in reserve, for cabinet off,
GERS, Funston for post master general,
ingalls,, Allison, Sherman and others
of like caliber for the other members
of the cabinet. You see their bosses
are looking out for strong men for
the offices.

The rivers of money which Secre-

without law, have made them very
comfortable. Wall street will no

The C0njugal Principle or Bal.
ance,Applied to the Sphere
OfLabOr.

0ACCSARRxACO 10 UWO - RMOEO
OfLabOr.
The conjugal principle of balance,
like every thing else in nature, has two
sides, the positive side, or the side OF
benefits, the negative side, or the side
OF penalties. Where shall we make
the first application of this principle?
In the sphere of physical labor. To
what are human beings most attract
ed? To bread. Therefore let bread
stand as the symbol of the natural law
of attraction, and physical labor as the
symbol Of the moral law of response
bility. Through the principle Of bal
ance on the side of benefits, "God hath
joined together" physical labor and
bread. On the side of its penalties,
God hath equally joined together
physical idleness and starvation, and
"what God hath joined together let
not man put asunder." ,.....4,
AS it is ''by the sweat of the brow"
in other words, by physical labor,
that all must live, (for brain labor,
without ''being joined together" with
physical labor, could not cause one
spear of grass or grain of wheat, to
grow,) then is it not self-evident that
the sphere of physical labor, is the
"primary department" in Gods school
of moral development Of the race? in
other words, it is by ministering
through our own physical labor to our
own physical needs that we take our
first lesson in moral development. u
Those who have looked into this
matter tell us that if society was so or
ganized that everybody had to do their
share ofphysical labor, there would be
no need of a laboring caste to 60 with
"their noses on life's grindstone" all
the days Of their liver, but Balance is
the law of nature, therefore, as
long as there is caste of physical
idlers, just so long will that caste be
balanced by caste of physical labor
ers. (The writer is particular to speak
of physical labor, and physical idle
ness, because the clergy have talked
so much about being "laborers in
Gods spiritual vineyard that they
have confused the worlds thought
OH the question of labor).
Upon whom did Christ sit in such
stern judgement? Upon the phyical
idlers of his day. In the light of the
thought that the sphere of physical la
Dor is the "primary department" in
Gods school" of moral development
for the race, we can understand what
he meant, when he called the priests
of his time evolves in sleeps cloth
ing" When he said to the lawyers,
those "monoplists" of his time: "Woe
unto you also, we lawyers! for we lade
men with burdens, grievous to be
borne, and We yourselves touch not the
burdens with one of your fingers"
Through the conjugal principle of
Balance OH the side Of its benefits,
"God hath joined together" physical
labor and bread, OH the side of its PEN
allies. God hath equally joined togeth-
Ell" physical idleness and starvation !;
and "What God hath joined together,
let not Priest or Lawyer put asunder."

OF the infamous Mckinley bill Mr..
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1890-10-13

WE take the following from letter
written by j. A. Garlic, Pratt county,
Kan sas:
A Boston capitalist, a Mr.. Bradelle,
says, in speaking of farm mortgages in
Kansas: 81 think in future years it
will be very difficult for the west to OBJ
tain help from the east"
Now, brother western farmers, sup
pose you retliate and help yourselves
for awhile, and let the infat-
lie delegations of the east do likewise.
Don't you see you have been taxing
yourselves rich? If protection builds
up your home market, why not double
the dose, so that when you have corn to
sell you can get first cost out of it, in
stead of and II cents? l will say in
conclusion that the Peoples party in
this county are in fighting trim, the
people, owing to the drouth, have con
cludee not to raise as much corn as last
season, but raise enough political racket
to make up for it, and do not expect to
be any poorer in the operation.

TO our farmer friends we suggest
that when the Republican politicians
come around stumping this fall and
tell you the Mckinley bill was drafted
in your intrests, just say to them:
"There is not section or a line in
the bill that will open market for
another bushel of wheat or another
barrel of pork"
If they say you lie, tell them your
authority is James q. Blaine, the high
priest of protection and the big mogul
of the Harrison administration. Don't
forget it.-ChicagO Lever.

The Republican papers and speak
ers keep telling us about the beauties
of the Mckinley tariff bill recently
passed by congress, by which, they
say, ''the farmer is protected" JAS.
G. Blaine tells us it will not make
market for bushcl of grain, nor for
another barrel of pork. Our own
Senator Plumb fought the bill, be-
cause he knew it was wrong and
would not benefit the people, espec-
tally his constituents. Blaine and
Plumb were right that time. We are
now beginning to feel the effects of
the Mckinley bill. Wooden goods
have advanced in price; tinware has
taken big upward jump; iron is 60
ing up, and we could go OH and give
a long list of the comforts and neces-
saries of life that have been marked
up since the passage of the Mckinley
BILL. But, friends, diamonds are on
the free list, and silks and broadcloth
are still at the old figure, so the farm
Ell and laborer should quit kicking.

LAST Thursdays weekly edition Of
the Topeka Capital contains letter
from the commissioner of pensions,
Green Bay Rum (Raum), in which he
denies the truth of Capt. Powers
charge, that favoritism has been
shown the old soldiers of the close
states, for political purposes. Raum
gives a lot of figures to try to prove
his denial. But, we have just re-
ceived from Senator Plumb the official
report of the commissioner of PEN
sions (the last official report, mind
you), which bears out every assertion
made by Capt. Power. The report
shows that in 1889, Kansas, with
soldier population of over 10000, re-
ceived 20,588, while Indiana, with
about half the soldier population of
Kansas, received 1858 pensions. 1t
is useless to deny these facts, and it is
foolish to deny that the discrimination
is on account of the great difference
in the political condition of the two
states. When Commissioner Rsum
makes up his official report, it will be
widely different from his campaign
letter to the Topeka Capital.
