A CLIP OF THE PARTY WHIP,

The Wichita EAGLE declares in plain
| terms that THE Mckinley bill is fraud. "
| This is a severe reflection upon the seven
Kansas congressman and the Kansas sena-
tors who voted for the bill, upon the entire
Republican membership of both branches
of congress who unanimously passed it,
upon the Republican president who will
| shortly sign it, and upon the Republican
voters Of the country who generally en-
dorse it. The Mckinley bill is one of the
things to which the party platforms in
1892 will point with pride" And what
will the esteemed EAGLE do then, poor
thing?-Emporia Republican.
Just such party intolerance is wiping
out Kansas boosted eigthy-two thousand
majority and is hauling down her ban
ner as the leading Republican state.
When the entire west, which is now
paying tribute to the east, beyond almost
her capacity, in the way of interest on
mortgages and dividends on the wetered
stocks of railroads, has been finally fore
closed upon all round, and further bank
rupted by law which, as Mr.. Blaine
says protects every conceivable interest of
the money loaning and manufacturing
east, what then will the esteemed Re-
publican say then for the poor thing,
poor thing?'
As for the EAGLES reflection upon the
seven Kansas congressman and the Kan
sas senators, that is no disparagementt to
the EAGLE. We ought not to be held
responsible for them, and we don't pro-
rose to be. The EAGLE stood by Mr..
Plumb in his glorious and righteous on
slaught on the Mckinley bill, and would
stand by him even though his words
threw him outside the pale of the senate
Republican caucus. His fight was in the
interest of Kansas, of all her people, be-
yond the shadow of doubt. With that
Mckinley bill unmodified, or in failure
to in some way "even up" its burdens
for the west, Kansas, as well as many
other western states, will in '92 dish up
worm wood and gall for the Republican
candidate for president.
The EAGLE if it lacks in partnership
does not lack in Republican convictions,
nor in intense love for fundamental Re-
publican principles. 1t just as strongly
favors "a government for the
people of the people and by
the people" as it ever did,
nor all the machinery ever constructed
by politicians and their ring caucuses
can prevent US from speaking out our
honest convictions, the Mckinley bill,
the Kansas delegation in congress and
the Emporia Republican to the cJntrary
notwithstanding.
If the time has come in which a news
paper dare not criticise the public meas
ures, nor the public men of its own party
only because they are such. then it is
high time that all such papers as the
EAGLE cease to exist.

SPEAKER REED.
From the Kansas City Gazette.

From the Kansas City Gazette.
The picturesque Maine campaign.
which resulted in returning Hon. Thomas
Bracket Reed to congress with renewed
eclat, has set the world to talking of him
again. 1t is not generally known, but
Speaker Reed was educated for the min
istry. He was poor lad. poor in all but
brain and body power. He was pro-
foundry religious, and the Congrega-
tional church of Portland proposed to ed
ucate him for the ministry. He agreed
to it and the church sent him 10 Bowdoin
college. But while learning was going
into his head theology was oozing out of
it, and when Tom Reed graduated he in
formed the church that had paid for his
schooling that his opinions had changed
so that he could no longer consent to be
be preacher. However, he paid the
the money they had lent him all
back scrupulously. 50 that although
light was lost to the Congrega-
tional church the money it had spent on
the youth was not wasted. Reed became
a lawyer noted for wit, and, like many
big bodied men. also for Incidence. 1t
was often said of him that Tom Reed
would make great man If he were not
so lazy. He appears TO have been walked
up since Ike went TO congress, however.
He is a poor man and always has been,
SO far as money is concerned. never even
keeping a carriage, which Is the touch
stone of a congressman social standing.
In the house he became noted for his
wit. In his maiden speech he gave a
man who interrupted him taste of his
quality in biting repartee. Then he re-
marked:
And now, having embalmed that fly
in the liquid amber of my speech, pro-
coed" Other biting sayings have been
recorded. Once an opponent ended an
eloquent passage with the quotation; Il
would rather be right than be president.
Instantly Reed turned TO him and shout
ed:
You will never be either"
His opponents might take a lesson
from his unfailing good humor. He Is
said to wear "a smile Ike policeman's
club He is the strictest sort Of party
man, and dos not believe in letting

THE MKINLEY BILL AND WALL
STREETS STRESS.

To the Editor Of the Eagle
Perhaps the most threatening specta-
Gle in public affairs that the country has
ever witnessed is that of the treasurer of
these United States, using government
funds and sacrificing public moneys in
aid of Wall stree, spectators, not only
to wrong the government which he is
supposed to protect, but the people also.
In contemplation of the Mckinley bill
becoming a law millions upon millions of
dollars worth of foreign goods have
been bought and placed in government
warehouses, in order to escape the high
er duties consequent upon the passage of
the Mckinley bill. 1t is estimated that it
vii take at least S20.000,00
to pay the duties on these goods, and
what is worrying these Wall street
spectators just now is where this money
is coming from, for if these duties are
not paid the government before the
Mckinley bill becomes law, they will
then have to pay the higher duties upon
the passage of that bill. Now, what
does the treasurer of the United States
do in order to furnish money to these
spectators so that they can pay these
dnties before the Mckinley bill becomes
a law? He pays one years interest in
advance on government 4 per cent and
81. % for other government bonds. to bloat-
ed bond holders, so that they may in turn
loan 1t to Wall street spectators. so that
they may pay the duties on imports in
bonded warehouses. and thus rob the
government of the higher duties to
which it would be lawfully entitled up
on the passage of the new tariff bill.
This is one of the most dam able
practices ever seen or heard of. No mat
ter what Wa street spectators may do
they can always rely upon the treasurer
of the United States to help them out of
a tight place, even though he has to pay
premium for money to do
it with, and he seems as
ready to help these spectators
to rob the government which he repre-
sents as the people themselves in their
individual capacity.
There is, however, another phase to
this matter which it would be well to
consider, and that is that this action of
the secretary of the treasury of the
United States tends to encourage wild
speculation TO the detriment of the bust
ness of the whole country. The farmers
have perhaps noticed that the price of all
kinds of farm products have fallen off
nearly or quite % per cent during the
last thirty days. The reason for this
is that the money of the whole
country is now tied up in
foreign goods, and there is no money
left with which TO move the crops, and
the farmer of the United States is re-
SOODSible for This state of affairs If ha
would give Wall street spectators to I'M
derstand that they must take care of
themselves, we would not have any of
these financial troubles, but as long as he
will serve in their aid and sacrifice the
peoples money to do so, we may con-
tinue to expect the very widest kind of
wild cat speculation. Let the people
cry "halt." Il. H. L.
