Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1890-09-15
Oh, That Kicker!

COnVerslng with an +. M. b. "A. klckel
on the question Of who is the govern
mept? The kicker said that Funston,
ingalls,, Ben Harrison and congress are
the government. The gentlemen told
him that he thought the people were the
government. The kicker said he would
like to know what the people had to do
with it, He said we elected them to
office and they made tho laws, and the
people had nothing TO do with
the business except to obey such
laws as they in their wisdom should
pass, He also said that the Republican
party is the only party that is right, and
that if any one said that the party had
done anything wrong, they lied, and the
truth is not in them.
l was talking to one of the poor de-
luded tools few days ago and offered
him an AGITATOR. He refused it aud
said he had no use for the lying sheet.
lie said he took the Garnett RIP. and
that was all the paper he wanted to read,
and he actually confessed that he hadn't
time and did not wish to read any other
papers.
l was talking to another fellow, a
kicker, who l thought had more sense.
who said, if the f. Nj. B. A. had only
put out a ticket on their own hook he
would have voted it; but to annex our
selves with the old Democratic party
was more than he could stand.
Somehow you cannot get the right
idea through their thick heads that the
F. M. B. A., Alliance and kindred Or
CARNATIONS were started for mutual
protection and to try to get congress to
acknowledge our right to some of the
benefits vOuchsafed to us by the consti-
tuition of the United States, and when
we found out that congress would not
acknowledge that we haye any rights
that they are bound to respect, it be-
came a war measure, as it were, to de-
clare for separate political action, and so
we formed the Peoples party, and
invite the farmer and wage-wOrkers of
The whole country to rally around our
standard of Lefornl, without regard to
political opinions. We demand our
right to live. We demand our right to
"A portion of Gods earth for a home.
We demand our rights to some of the
benefits vOuchsafed 10 lis by our fore
fathers. who declared that all men were
born free and equal and given the right
TO enjoyment OF life, liberty and happi-
ness. But the money power, which is
enthrOned, says that we have no right to
live, only as they ordain. They say,
What business have you to aspire to a
higher plane? Its your misfortune to be
poor, and you should know and keep
your place; we are rich and you can
work for us. What business have you
fellows with organs in your homes, pic
lures on your walls? What business
have YOU to sQuander what little money
you have in buying a buggy to take
yonr family 10 church in?-your farm
wagon is good enough for you. These
things belong to the rich; you are shout
ing hard times, and blame us, when it is
your Internal extravaganza. You should
work for MS and keep quiet.

nation? Talk about educating them

Twenty years ago the interest mani
tested in America towards athletic sport;
was, in comparison with that in othel
countries, feeble and experimental. But
now it may be conceded that America
takes most active part in the sports o.
the field, the turf and the water. Crowds
of twenty thousand daily witnessing the
rivalries of base ball game is point ii
the reversal of things where pin may
be stuck, denoting the vast improvement
in the physical stamina of the average
American. What for so long time de
tered the freer exercise in these pastime'
were the dangers to life and limb from
hurts, bruises, sprains, cuts, wounds ant
abrasions. which not only disabled but dis
figured. The interest and participation
in these sports increased as soon as tru'
remedy was found, and st. Jacobs oil il
now known as the best and surest fol
this purpose.

Mrs. Robinson divided ii into farms bnilf
houses and rented them This was objected
