WHAT MEANS.

Not louB ago received printed cir
culars from parties who are booming the
resubmission question. The circulars
were signed by long list Of bankers
and loan agents After reciting the
great advantages TO come TO the farmers
and laborers by having open saloons
these patriotic gentlemen said; ave
must have resubmission in order to get
foreign emigration"
Now, what does foreign emigration
mean to the mortgage-ridden farmers of
Kansas? II simply means that the men
who came here and made Kansas the
garden spot Of the world are to be driven
from their homes to give place TO a class,
who, | am told, make more tractable ten
ants. II meana that the homes already
taken from their rghtful owners shall
have many, bidding for a chance TO exc
out miserable existence thereon, and
that Shylock may have his pound Of flesh
from nearest his victims heart. 10 means
that the grist now grinding through our
courts, may have ready disposal when the
final decree is granted. II means that
those who yet are hoping against hope,
and are yet continuing the unequal strug.
gle will finally be compelled TO give IL up
and acknowledge the authority Of King
Mammon as their ruler
1t means for such as may survive the
crash, that on their right, and on their
left, where their neighbors have been
driven away at the command Of this ruth
less despot, there will be placed, by the
agents Of his satanic majesty, victims
brought from foreign land, and soon
such as now feel secure, will find them
selves strangers in the land Of their birth,
surrounded by those hayingn sympathies
in common with them and no ties Of kin
ship or neighborly interest.
What does It mean for those who may
be induced to come, under guise of com
ing to free America? "the land Of the free
and the home Of the bravep They are
brought here, placed on these once hap
py homes, by the landlords, amillstone Of
debt hanged about their necks, and they
are ordered TO burden the transportation
lines with freight to pay tribute to legal
lied monopoly, and bow their necks in
meek submission to the yoke of oppres-
sion, and the poor deluded creature ut
last awakes TO the awful reality that he
has only changed masters. He Is ordered
to compete with and drive out the Amer
lean farmer and curb his proud spirit, for
he has been eXtravagant; he wanted his
son to have an education; he wanted his
daughter TO have a chance TO learn some
thing besides the daily round Of toll; he
hoped to see his family comfortable; he
has been known even to go so far as TO
buy buggy and attend church in the
city sometimes. "This Is outrageous" /"
says King Gold. Old three per cent a
month must not be contaminated by such
plebiean associations.
Protect our farmers, but food our farm
ing districts with competition for farmers.
Hold high the banner Of the transporta-
tion trust. starve the toiling millions of
Europe and eastern cities and rob the
farmers of their homes; put in their places
tenants from the starving hOrdes Of
Europe and call it developing the coun-
try"

Some Of these Judases, am told, attend
church on Sabbath days and sing and ex-
hort their brethren to "keep their eyes on
Jesus" They 80 to their pet Sunday
school, and with a hypocritlcal whine
that would put the devil to flight, they
sing; "I am Jesus little lamb, happy all
day long am" while thousands Of their
victims and their children are barefOoted,
half naked and hungry. Thousands Of
mothers hearts are aching and their con-
slant thought ls; "What will become Of
my darllngs when the dear old home ls

The farmers Of Kansas ask that the
strong arm Of the law be welded In their
behalf. For an answer they are pointed
to the decision Of the judiciary committee
Of the last legisiatare, They are told that
anything that would give them relief and
help them save their homes would be uR-
constitutional Oh, Lord That would be
an "impGirmeat Qftde contract" II was no
impairment Of the contract" TO pay the
soldiers, In money deprecated at the COM
mand Of shylock, when the contract"
said he should have goId. II was no "lm-

Contract" said the debt was paid with
greenbacks Il was no impairment Of

the Contract said were payable In claw

into gold bearing interest bonds and made
payable In gold.
All these Infamous things and many
others were done when the business Of
the country had adjusted itself to estab-
lished monetary conditions, and every
change In the contract" was made TO rob
labor Of It's reward and give II 10 elegant
idleness.
Was It an impairment Of the contract
TO secretly erase the word "for" and insert
the word "after" in the contract" for the
payment Of the now existing series OF
bonds, in order that shylock might de-
mand Of the people the enormous pre-
MUM they are now paying on bonds and
robbing honest toll Of many millionsY
And now our distinguished senators write
back 10 us that the conditions are such
that Legislation will do no good; that the
basis on which the combines and trusts
rest is so indefinite that Legislation cna
not reach them; that we must bo more
economical and industrious; that we must
not sell our hogs and buy meat, which
means that we must sell our hogs land

give us) TO Shylock for interest, protec-
tion to "home industries" and premium

meat, and that Is just what thousands are
doing.
