Kansas, Columbia's pride, is

II something is not done to
check the tide of foreign i'm
migrants that is pouring into
our country, serious results are
bound to follow. Our shores
have become the dumping
grounds OF the paupers, cut
Threats and scape gallowses of
Europe. 1t is true some good
citizens come over; but the vast
majority are worthless men,
who didn't try to live at home,
or are criminals who were not
allowed to show themselves on
the other side. If some restric-
ton is not placed upon their
Coming, restriction ought at
least 10 be placed upon their
rights. There is no wisdom in
reaching cut our arms, and re-
ceiving into full citizenship

ers who don't know the diff

ton of the United States and

OF the class Of people that are
coming over of late years were
brought up from childhood in
enmity 10 their government
In their infancy they were
consecrated upon the shrines OF
Nihilism and Anarchy, and
they cherish the same feelings
for our government with all its
liberties and privileges, as they
cherished for their native lands
aud would rejoice to see it rem
from center to circum frence in
order that they might flock tc

"STAND TOGETHER"

Tie Concord Standard wisely
says: Most people are disposed
to look upon the coming cleo
ton as being Of little important

Indifference that they have rot

would just remind such that
they are mistaken. The com
ing election is Que of-th0 most
important that our people have
ever lad to take part in. The
Democrats Of the South cannot
afford to remain idle. We have
great interests to look after,an
their protection is only guarau-
teei by the grand old nemocra-
tic party. The rights of the
farmers, who compose such "a
vast majority of our Teopla,
have been overlooked untiIthe. T
labors have almost ceased to
bring them reW3r I'd, aud such
a state of affairs, if allowed to
remain, would soon bring our
whole country over the yawn-
ing chasln of jeopardy. They
have formed themselves into a
great body, called the Farmers
Alliance, and they stand solid
phalanx fighting for their r ghts
as American citizens. The Demo
cats are standing by them and
helping them in this great strug
gle. For the two to become
divided means the death ot

OUR SENATORS.
There Are Three Poor Men to One
Millionaire in the Senate.

Eight in Moderate Circumstances and
Thirty Who Depend on Their

loopYR1GHr, 1901


1t has become very common prac.
tice among those pessimists who are al.
ways expecting to see the country go to
the dogs-those worst of all pessimlsts
who never tire of telling us how much
better and purer and nobler the fathers
used to be than the sons are now-to say
that the Senate has become mere body
of millionaires; that money is the ruling
power in Senatorial elections and that
it governs the actions of the Senate.
This is SANDER and dangerous one.
since it tends toward the destruction of
all patriotism and becomes an open
charge that the American people are,
through their chosen representatives all
along the line, dishonest and dishon-
orable lot.
The best way to refute this Islander is
to call the roll of the Senate and seehow
many of its members can answer to the
title of millionaire, for if money be the
controlling power there is not Sem
ator who, in six years term, might
not sell himself for enough to make him
eligible to the title
Senator Aldrich. of Rhode Island, is
merchant. pretty well off, though by no
means millionaire. He might retire
and live upon what he has, | suppose,
so we may set him down as a rich man.
Senator Allen, OF Washington, is a
young and active lawyer with bent
for money-making. He probably will
be rich some day, but at present he is
only started in that direction.
Senator Allison, of Iowa, is worth be-
tween $40,0 900 and $500 If he should
turn it all into money and set out to
buy legislature he would have to
look abont for pretty cheap one.
don't know any thing about the
financial condition of Senator Barbour,
of Virginia, and don't know anybody
who does. If he were a millionaire it
would probably be known to nearly
everybody around here, for he lives in
Alexandria, six or eight miles down the
Potomac from Washington, and a very
rich man in that poverty-stricken town
would stand out among his neig6bors |
like an liberated tooth
Senator Bate, of Tennessee, is a poor
man who lives in a very modest way in
Washington and relies on his salary to
pay the bills.

Teller did not go in, so his friend took
In another poor man. In two years that
man cleared more than nine hundred
