Kansas CITY Gazette: The Lawrence
Journal propounds a lot of conun.
drums to the lola REGISTER concern.
ing Congressman Funston's relation
to the question of Mexican ores. The
REGISTER promptly meets the ques-
tions, and fires back more intelligent
series of inquiries at the Journal. We
suppose that men and interests have
a right to present their claims to their
Representatives i'm Congress, without
suspicion of purchase. In Pennsyl-
vania, where the tariff is their meat
and drink, We have yet to hear that a
Congressman has ever been punished
for seeing to it, that nothing oppressive
happened to any institution In his dis
trict. But in Kansas we have a new
class of idiots, or degree of malice
never reached anywhere else, when
an issue Is attempted to be made
against Congressman for Objecting
TO an item in the tariff seriously affect
ing, if not destroying, great manu-.
featuring plant in his district. We
know nothing of Mr.. Funston's life
long views of Mexican ore, but it il
likely he never knew the interest his
district had in the matter until his at.
tention was called to it. We have rea.
son to know that, until this question
came up, not five hundred people in
Kansas had the remotest idea that
such an institution existed in the
State. But it is marvelously strange
and incomprehensible that repre-
sentative must be defended from at.
tacks for the performance of such q
duty. Such spirit as this never
made Kansas-it cannot make any.
thing.

respond with the more valuable one OF
should we not here and now declare
that the dollar of our fathers is good
enough for us? And IL there is to be
any change I'm either to correspond
with the other let us follow precedent
and make the change in the gold.
But we are gravely told that we
must have the worlds money; thai
England and Germany have gold
standard.
Why should we follow England and
Germany In preference to cooperating
with the balance of the world in the
use of silver? With England especial.
" we have no special interests. She
Is free trade; we are protection. Tht
world owes her five thousand million
dollars, and we owe the world vast
sums. Her interests lead her to de
msnd payment in the dearest money
our interests lead us to pay in the
cheapest. She buys but little of the
products of our farms and nothing %
our factories. She IL our competitor
and rival i'm every part Of the world
and, In fact, If she were sunk into the
sea America would be but little worse
off. Our interests lie with the bimet
allie countries of Central and South
America and Mexico. Their trade
will be worth millions to US when de
veloped, and our medium of exchange
with them, If that is of any importan
ce, should be the same as theirs. Wher
we have captured their trade we need
bother ourselves but very little about
whether or not our currency is the
same as England's.
And after all, MFR. Speaker, it is but
little difference to us what may be the
currency of the balance of the world
Their money ceases to be money when
Ii reaches our shores, and the Same Il
the case with ours when taken abroad
All foreign money the world over Il
bullion and Is so treated, and ftsmakes
no difference what stamp or weight II
has, it Is traded In as bullion.
Therefore, the weight or value of oul
coin can have nothing to do with oul
trade with foreign countries. 1t Is o.
far greater importance to us that we
adopt the most convenient medium o.
exchange among ourselves, and IN
quantity sufficient to transact the bus
mess of the country.
Our first duty Is to look after oul
own people In their relation to each
other. When we have done that II
will be time enough to take our bear
ings to the balance of the world. Lei
us build up and foster our own indus
tries, cherish and love our own insti
buttons, coin our own dollars of fins
American silver, and we will have but
little occasion to bother ourselve,
about what the balance Of the world /,
doing. $500.
And now. Mr.. Speaker, in closing,
desire to say I shall vote to reconimit
this bill with instructions to bring IN
bill for the free coinage of silver, and
should I be defeated i'm that shall dc
whatever I may Judge to be the next
best thing for my constituents.

Not Natural Enemies.

Mr.. Hall, lecturer for the Farmers
Alliance, is quoted as follows by the
Chanute Blade:
have no use for the dema-
gogue who goes around over the
country advocating the theory that
the thieves are all in town and the hon.
est men all in the country. The retail
merchants are not your enemies.
Where there is competition among
country retail merchants you will find
no trusts or combine to take advantage
of you. Everywhere / have been !
have found a spirit of competition ex-
listing among retail merchants cutting
down prices aud undertaking each
other through the columns of the
newspapers, or printed handbills all
bidding for your trade. In "a coun-
ties I have travelled over, have failed
to find a combine retail merchant. If
we drive every store out of town but
the one we patronize we will have
built up trust. If we organize over
the country against men who have not
organized against us, we will be a
trust breeding organizer.
Our work should be against trusts
and monopolies for they are fighting
US. But it Is not right to conclude or
say that all the thieves and robbers
are in the towns and all the robbed in
the country.
A man who would teach this is an
anarchist. And this brings up our
relation with the retail merchant. He
is our friend and natural ally. Iwentsto
Dun's Commercial agency in st. Louis
and paid them for information concern
ingretail merchants. They did not know
who ] was, nor what I wanted with
the information but I learned that
within the last fifteen years eighty
three per cent of all the men who had
gone into retail merchandising i'm Mis-
souri, had either failed or quit the bus
mess because it did not pay. You
can't tell me that such class of men
are robbing the farmers. No sir! The
pools and trusts will raise such a
whoop that will split the skies Ii they
can get you off their track and on that
of the,retail merchant. You ought to
be better fox hounds than to let them
fool you by running a rabbit across
their own tracks. We should be very
careful not to bring misery ON any
man who is not making war on US, but
when we know they are fighting US
we should organize to oppose them,
and call on all honest men to help US.
Let us not make enemies of men who
are engaged in legitimate business,
but keep after the trust, and unite for
the welfare or our common country"

Four out of five voters In the Sec
ond District are In favor of free COIN
age of silver. Did Funston represent
his constituents when he voted to
demonetize silver?-Kiacdid Kroaicle.
If the KroRicJe had wanted to be
fair 1t would have told Its readers that
Mr.. Funston made a speech in favor
of free coinage and voted to refer the
Conger bill back to the committee with
instructions TO report back free COIN
age bill. The bill that he finally voted
for, when he found it impossible to
get anything better, does not demone-
tie silver, but on the contrary adds
the entire available silver product OF
the United States to our circulation
and would doubtless result within
three months in absolute free coinage.
The Rronicle is Democratic paper;
but even it needs not lie so.

In last weeks Farmers Friend an
article is quoted from the Progressive
Farmer in which appears the follow
ing:
And here make the assertion that
the last man that the farmers should
vote for to represent them is lawyer.
Let your party understand that iftney
want your vote they must nominate a
farmer, and if they don't do 1t, show
your manhood and independence by
voting with some party that does.
AS it is always understood that a
paper endorses what it reprints from
another paper without adverse com.
ment, we presume it is fair to say that
the lines we have quoted express the
sentiment of the Friend. That being
the case we hope to see it come active
ly to the support of Mr.. Funston, the
only farmer spoken of for Congress
and man who has already attained
distinction and leadership.

norman cOnulUlOn as currency Dy the
side of gold and gold will have less
value because of its reduced purposes,
and silver will become more valuable
because of its additional purposes, and
thus the two coins approach each 9TH
so nearly in value that there would be
no observable difference.
And now, Mr.. Speaker, ifthe charge
be true that the silver dollar is only
worth seventy-twO cents, mpuzzled
to know how the gentlemen who make
that charge are to explain TO their con-
stituents the justice Of forcing the Dor
rover to pay 100 cents for every ~
cents borrowed.
Either these gentlemen do not be-
lieve what they say about the lack of
value in the silver dollar or else they
are deliberately, and with q full
knowledge of the facts before them,
deciding that every man who has bor-
rowed hundred dollars shall pay for
the same one hundred and thirty
eight dollars. Gentlemen who ar so
concerned about the I2-cent dollar can
take either horn of this dilemma and
it will leave them IN q very uncomfort-
able position before their constituents.

Therefore, should be compelled to

Speaker, granting, for the sake Of ar
gument, that>the gold dollar is of more
value than the silver dollar, can any
one point out the justice or law for de-
manding of the debtor that he shall
pay his debts In the more valuable
coin? Should he not have the same
right 70 say which dollar he may pay
in as the man from whom he has Dor
rowed?

u Delightful Liar.

One of the clevefest and mos
delightful liars in the United
States is Arthur McEwen, who is
now dealing out glittering cores
pondence to several of the leading
newspapers of California at high
tariff rates.
Mac is most extraordinary
artist, and plunks his lie into the
public confidence with a graceful
twirl and flourish that all good
liars can appreciate.
His fabrications rise above the
common earth and CLEAN and
scintillate, glow with many colored
fires, and burst upon the gaping
and applauding multitude like
rockets in tke sky. Whenever he
can't think CT anything else to
manufacture yarns about he takes
the editor of this paper and turns
loose his riotous imagination,
which runs like the waters of the
Johnston flood, sweeping every
thing before it.
These lies are so cleverly told
that they excite our admiration
before we have time to kick. Any
one who excites our admiration,
which is quick. before raising our
ire, which is slow, has us in
the door.
Last week Mac. made nearly
one hundred dollars lying about
us at SO column, and up to the
present writing hasn't had the de-
cency to send us so per cent. of
the proceeds Of his mendacity. !
Seems as if he ought to dizzy.
