ting up the less valuable coin to cor
respond with the more valuable one or
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 in either to correspond
with the other let us follow precedent
and make the change in the gold.
|, But we are gravely told that we
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
ly we have no special interests. She
is free trade; we are protection. The
world owes her five thousand million
dollars, and we owe the world vast
sums. Her interests lead her to de-
mand payment in the dearest money;
our interests lead us to pay i'm the
cheapest. She buys but little of the
products of our farms and nothing of
our factories. She is our competitor
and rival in every part of the world,
and, in fact, il 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. Ii that Is of any import
ance, should be the same as theirs.
When we have captured their trade
we need bother ourselves but very
little about whether or not our cur
rency Is the same as England's.
And after all, Mr.. 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
the case with ours when taken abroad.
All foreign money the world over Is
bullion and is so treated, and 1t makes
no difference what stamp or weight 1t
has, 1t is traded in as bullion.
Therefore, the weight or value of
our coin can have nothing to do with
our trade with foreign countries. 1t
Is of far greater Importance to us that
we adopt the most convenient medium
of exchange among ourselves, and In
quantity sufficient to transact the bus
mess of the country.
Our first duty Is to look after our
own people in their relation to each
other. When we have done that IL
will be time enough to take our bear
ings to the rest of the world. Let us
build up and foster our own indus
tries, cherish and love our own insti-
buttons, coin our own dollars of fine
American silver, and we will have but
little occasion to bother ourselves
about what the balance of the world is
doing.
And now, Mr., Speaker, in closing,
[ desire to say 1 shall vote to re-
commit this bill with instructions to
bring i'm bill for the free coinage of
silver, and should I be defeated In
that shall do whatever I may Judge
to be the next best thing for my
constituents.

duty or his obligation to tho public.
When one stops to think, it Is q
wonder that any man Is able to per-
form as much work as Is required Of a
Congressman, and when 1t is well
done the man who does 1t ought to be
retained In Congress as long as posi-
BILE. His retention gives his district
the most efficient service which intel
ligent experience can provide, and the
effect on National legislation is the
best.
No State has stronger or bettar
delegation in Congress than Kansas.
1t would be the sheerest folly to
weaken it by change in the Second
District.

Only Truth Wanted.

PaOla Republican.
Some of the brood of claquers who
are yelping at Hon. f. H. Funston say
he sold out to the Argentine Smelling
Company to secure the vote of Wyan-
dotte county, in voting and working
against the proposed tax on lead ore.
There Is notan iota of truth in this
assertion, and the men who assert 1t
do so knowing its untruth. The
Argentine smelter is the largest and
most important manufacturing insti-
tuition i'm this Congressional District,
employing seven hundred and fifty
men, and Mr.. Funston's vote for free
lead ore was to prevent crippling this
important institution. His vote was
neither bought nor bargained for, but
was induced by the conviction that
he was doing just and righteous act.
Congressman Kelley and one other of
the Kansas delegation voted with Mr.,
Funston on this proposition, and did
it because they believed 1t right, and
not because they were thought up"
by anybody. Senator Plumb is for
free ore, taking stronger stand for it,
even, than did Mr.. Funston, and we
do not think anybody will accuse him
of having sold out. This whole charge
against Funston is untruthful, and the
crowd who are working it know it to
be lie.
The people of the Second District
want the truth, and not a lot of lies
from selfinterested place seekers, who
would Gust Mr.. Funston or any other
honest, conscientious man, whatever
be the cost.

The Feeling In DouRlaa !.


EDITOR REGISTER: A leading Re-
publican of this city in referring to the
Congressional conflict in this District
said he believed 1t was mainly news
paper fight.
There are many reasons In favor of
the correctness of this theory. Lead
ing men are not actively i'm the field Is
candidates; and the most of the people
do not appear to enter into the spirit
of the contest. Not that they are
wholly Indifferent to the question.
At the proper time the people will be
heard from. The usual portion of the
voters realize that they are represent
ed by one of their number, and will
not release this hold without a strug-
gle. A farmer Congressman is not q
matter of every day occurrence, and
those he represents have q well sup
ported conviction that he makes him
self heard-call it "Foghorn" or any
other name you please.
The distinguished editor, Horace
Greedy, represented his District in
Congress the part of an unexpired
term, and desired to make q speech
on subject that he had time and
again ably written up in his paper;
but some how or other he could not
get recognition or an opportunity to
say more than "Mr. Speaker" After
the close of the term the Tribune came
out with the speech, headed in bold
black letters, "What your Representa-
tive would have said IL he could have
been heard"
All will agree this is never likely to
happen with Farmer Funston. He
gets in not only "Mr. Speaker" but
the entire speech.
Years since the writer was engaged
on a political journal and a conflict
sprang up in the District similar to
the one we now have. The old MEM
Der who represented one of the indus
trial interests of the District, had
borne the honors several terms; but a
lot of poets and newspaper writer's
began to clamor for higher culture and
more polish, and entered vigorously in
the work of writing him down. The
convention overruled them and he
went back to Congress, and was after
wards the distinguished Governor of
his own State, and y. s. Senator.
Every year the feeling that our in
dustrial interests must have real rep
resentatives is Tightening its hold; and
the practical and active business men
of life are coming to the front. The
lawyer with his saids and afore-
saids, the poet with his poems, the
writer with his fictions, the naturalist
and scientist all have their place and
use, and like the priests of old long
ruled and controlled public affairs,
and the lumberman, the farmer, the
mechanic, the manufacturer and the
merchant had very little to do with
legislation. But we have learned by
costly experience that glittering theo-
ries, professional polish and learned
orations do not reach down to our
every day wants.
Our need Is the practical man, with
his rough speeches and "Foghorn"
force. -

ON GRAIN GAMBLING.

The bill, which in terms affects
transactions for future delivery, which
are innocent in themselves and do no
harm TO anyone, is yet intended to
reach that class of spectators only
who sell with no purpose or intent
near or remote, to deliver what they
sell; who require little capital or stock
in trade, and yet who sell i'm the
''bucket shopsn and "pits" of the
United States everymonth more wheat
than is grown in the whole world i'm a
year, thus in great measure destroying
legitimate trade and driving mer-
chants and traders engaged therein
from the field, and forcing the price of
farm products below the cost of pro-
duction, rendering the calling of the
farmer Improbable and degrading
toll.
1t is urged that the influence of
this bill, lift shall become law, will
greatly hamper and restrict trade and
commerce. If the species Of gambling
in farm staples now carried on by
dealers in ''options," "puts" "cal1s, !"
futures" ETC., can properlybe denomi-
mated as trade and commerce, then ii
may and it is hoped that the tendency
may be to hamper and restrict it. But
so far from that proposed measure in
juriousiy affecting the legitimate trade
and commerce of the country, the
exact reverse is true.
While the farmer laborers from day
TO day, cOntending with flood and
drouth to produce his crop, and by
reason of its small value when pro-
duced is compelled to deny himself
and family,,the needful comforts of life,
the producer of this other, compet-
ing crop-this crop of mere wind finds
'all seasons summer" and "toil not.
neither dc. they spin" and vet gather
a golden harvest.
1t will be observed that the dealer
in "options" is not required to have. or
receive, or deliver one ounce of any of
the articles, millions of pounds of
which he sells and buys, and which
pass upon the record as honest trans
actions, made with reference to the
supply and legitimate demand. The
numerous bucket shops established in
all the cities, towns and even in many
OF the villages Of the countryf for gamb-
ling in options and futures, illustrate
clearly the absolute absence of neees-
sity 10 have. or own or control pound
or peck of any Of the articles mention
ed, in order to buy and sell millions of
each. Careful investigation will dis
close the fact that the seller of futures
has an advantage of the buyer, which
must be adjusted by re-

Retain Experience.

LaCygne journal.
In all seriousness, how is the Second
Congressional District going to secure
a better Congressman than Hon. Ell.
Funston, or why should it try?
There is no duty that he has been
called upon to face that he has not
met fairly and squarely.
During all his years of service he
has been prompt to perform the work
required and expected of him. No
task has he shirked, no matter how
disagreeable or difficult 1t may have
been.
For over six years he has faithfully
an d efficiently represented one Of the
most intelligent constituencies in the
Nation. In the light of recent state
ments, 1t may also be said to be one
Of the most exacting constituencies.
He started at the bottom of the Con-
gressional ladder, and has steadily
climbed upward until he stands at
the head of one of the most important
committees and is justly recognized as
one of the best leaders of the Republic
can party in the House of Representa-
tives.
His record shows that he has been
and is entirely sound on the numerous
public questions. Where did he ever
vote contrary to the sentiments of his
party or against the best interests of
the people? The time, place, or ques-
ton cannot be given;
How has he stood on the great and
leading questions before the present
Congress?
He ably and strongly advocated a
per diem service pension law, accept
ing the disability bill-a good meas
ure-when he found that 1t was use
less at this session of Congress to per-
sist longer for the more liberal meas
ure. He voted for the disability
pension law, which will give some
forty or more millions dollars annual
ly to soldiers, soldiers widows, Sold
iers' children and dependent parents.
He made an aggressive fight for the
unlimited free coinage of silver. He
voted for the most liberal bill that
could be made.
He stood firmly by the Mckinley
tariff bill and voted for 1t. He believes
in the Republican doctrine of protec-
ton, the home against the outsiders.
Americans against foreign powers.
He is for the American workingman
against the foreign workingman. He
is for the American farmer and the
American manufacturer against their
foreign competitors.
He voted for the Federal election
bill, than which there is not a more
measure before Congress.
If 1t becomes law there will be an
honest ballot and a fair countthrough-
out the United States.
Another great issue finds him right:
The original package matter. He is
doing all i'm his power to secure the
passage of bill which will give to
each State the power to control the
liquor traffic as it pleases, to enable
prohibition Kansas to remain a prohi-
bition State. 1t was on his motion
that consideration of the bill was set
for July 5, and he is working for an
early vote on the question.
In the dispatch of the vast volume
Of business pertaining to the Depart
ment of Agriculture he has been
successful, and his business
like methods and economy have won
for him high praise.
At the same time he has manifold |
other public duties to look after; ap-
pointments, pensions, correspondence, |
visits to the various Departments for |
bis constituents, and in all of these
