THE congressional circus is open,
and Benjamin has issued his message,
which is purely partisan affair. 1t
will be found in The NEWS this week.
Benjamin is very anxious to have the
"force" bill passed, believing that will
save his party in '92. He wants gold
TO be made the money standard. He
favors reciprocity and upholds the
Mckinley bill. In other words, lie is
trying to ride two horses going in OPP
positc directions. But il is unneces-
sary to review the matter when you
have the message in full. Read it.

A month has rolled away since the

ed their powers at the ballot-box, and

can, with a full heart, sing te deums

month ago, the neutrality-suspicious.
poser-for-the- New Y ork- World, John
J. ingalls,, regarded the farmers Of
Kansas as "a ID cob-peddling
rabble." The month has brought to
him a great deal Of wisdom. By this
time he fully realizes that the farmers
of Kansas have determined that the
decalogue and golden rule shall have
a place in politics. He realizes that
SHINING rebels twenty-five years at
ter they needed SHINING, and in a
time of profound peace, does not pay.
He realizes that posing as a Grand
Army man at this distance from the
rebellion, when all the army service
he did was when the state was, by
proclamation Of Gov. Carny, placed
under martial law, and then only as
judge advocate on the governors staff,
did not bring him any votes.
He realizes that record made up
of deception, and fraud, and bribery,
is not record to win the confidence
Of men who demand honest legisla-
ton.
He realizes that U. S. senator's who
become fatigued at The demand for
honest, just laws and government
for all the people, are on the highway
to oblivion.
And finally, among many other
things he realizes is that the other
Christ he has been looking for has
come and brought confusion to the
"iridescent dreamer," and that after
the 9th of January, 1891, he can pre-
pare his luggage for final transport

The great political Landslide has come,
and the Prohibition party ought to learn
something from its results. The farm

ton of their ability to change the entire
complexion of the government. The
defeat is overwhelming to Republicans.
They are slaughtered, murdered. and
deserve to be so disposed Of.
The Mckinley and Lodge bills are
enough to damn any party. Whenever
political party comes to think them
selves the embodiment Of all that Is
good and true, that all other parties are
without painciple and ought not to live,
it is ready to resort to any Sort OF legis-
latiOn, no matter how tyrannical and
despotic it may be. The legislation OF
the last congress is specimen Of what
II may do. The vote was reproOf of
the party by the Intelligent people of

every patriot must rejoice. The triumph
of the Democratic party is only temper

since the last general election, and have
felt that opportunity of affecting union

Prohibition was the great question in

from any Prohibition leaders. and hence

to see The Lever speak out so plainly
upon the question as in the last number
of your paper.
We have waited too long. We could
have dictated terms OF union, but now

The Alliance has shown such strength
and power that they will command the

Now, am l i'm favor of pressing the
question of the union of forces for '02?

WASHINGTON, April 30, IS9O.-My Dear Sir:
The Republican National Committee has es'
tablshed permanent headquarters IN this city
in order that the party's interests throughout
the Nation may not be lost sight OF between
Presidential elections. We have found many
opportunities since the close OF the campaga
OF 1883 to aid in strengthening the party organ
ization in various sections Of the country. We
have recently ascertained that for months the
Democrats have been engaged in general and
secret distribution Of anti.prOtection literature
in many doubtful States and Congressional dis.
tricts, and that they have employed a corpB Of
agitatOrs and organizers to travel among farm.

ing to the tariff and kindred questions reach
us daily, particularly from the West. Unless
we are properly sustained, in financial
SENSE we can not meet these demands. We
should be fully equipped for this work OF docu.
mcnt circulation at once. Very little practical
good Is accomplished by the distribution of po-
litiCal literature during an exciting campaign.
You know how dinicult it Is to raise money for
campaign purposes. We have adopted plan
which, If vigorously pushed can not fail to
prove popular and successful.
send you herewith a number OF certificates
which Illustrate this plan. l trust you may be
able at an early day to place them with some Of
the Jealous Republicans Of your neighbOrhood.
Please fill up the coupons with full name and
address, cut them off and return them to US
with the $40 for each. All checks, money
orders, etc. should be made payable to +. w.

this branch of the work. A record will be kept
of all the subscribers, who will be known as
registered contributors to the Republican Ma.
tional Committee.
Believing you to be deeply interested in Re-
publican success and influential In the councils
of the party very earnestly ask you to aSi
sst us. II we oan not invoke the aid and CO
operation of Republicans of your standing and
activity, upon whom can we dependf If you
conclude that you can not help us kindly return
the certificates, In order that we may place
them elsewhere. In such event, please name
some one who in your opinion will be likely to

Secretary Rusk insists in recent let
Ter that we can and must grow our own
carpet woods. 1t is to bring about this
result that the tariff bill now before
Congress contains clause which raises
enormously the duty on carpet wool.
At present carpet wool worth less than
twelve cents pound pays a duty Of two
and one-half cents pound; carpet wool
above the twelve cent limit pays five
cents only,
The law now proposed raises the duty
on wool worth twelve cents or less to
three and ono.half cents; and ON that
above twelve cents, the duty is to be
eight cents pound, This is an attempt
to compel farmers to raise carpet wool.
But why do we not raise carpet wool?
Because wo have developed our wool.
growing industry beyond that stage,
Our farmers used to produce carpet wool
but they soon found that they could inn
prove the breed Of their sheep and pro-
duco orgrNdo Of wool, Accordingly
We produce no carpet wool now. Tho
grower finds 1t much moro profitable to
produce Morino clothing wool worth
thirty cents n pound, or more, rather
than to waste his time and energies In
producing carpet wool worth only ten or
twelve cents, A sheep with coarse car
pet wool on It's back will eat Just MS
much as one with fine clothing wool and
will cost just rs much In every way.
Whcro Is the sense then In trying TO
compel our people to grow carpet wool

mills are reported TO be idle, and several
