A Worthy Record.

The adjournment Of congress closes
a session which will be long recalled as
notable one. Not only for being one
of the longest will it be remembered
but because of the vast volume of bust
ness transacted.
Having bare majority only, to quote
the Kansas City Globe, the re-
publicans succeeded in organizing the
Fifty-frst congress without compro-
missing in any degree with or conceding
anything to the democrats, who from
a long dominance demanded much.
The house organized by The republi-
cans after long lapse Of control, they
set about discharging the duties of
their Offices and fulfilling the pledges
upon which elected. And the record
of the Fifty-frst congress shows that
the republicans have not failed, hence
not disappointed the people who elected
them, and have not fallen short of tie
most sanguine expectations.
The record tells that the republicans
have been persistent in their endeavors
to do business in the strictest sense
and to esehew politics and buncombe
and that they have attended to bust
ness strictly and steadily without re-
gard to and in spite of democratic
effort to inject politics, to obstruct
necessary legislation when their politi-
cal capers were ignored.
The republican congress has made a
great record, one upon which the re-
publican party can go before the people
this fall, which must and will invest
the republican party with power in the
government in all branches for the rest
of the century, with a good big lap
over into the twentieth century.
The session has been prolonged by
democratic obstruction to imperatively
demanded legislation, but longer hours
of work have been demanded and re-
quired than ever before and more bust
ness has been accomplished than ever
was achieved during any preceding ses-
sion of congress. The enumeration of
the bills passed of the inumerable me as
ures introduced, need not be mentioned
it is enough to say that in all the
time the democratic party was in
power in the house it failed to pass a
Abilene weekly reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1888-1935, 1890-10-09

bill revising and equalizing the tariff
or making any reduction of 1.-THE war
taxes" the democratic bette nOir.
The revision of the tariff has been
made in proper lines, protection lines
on the theory of America for Ameri-
cans from the Arctic to the Antarctic
ocean. The passage of this bill, the
Mckinley bill, was the browning glory
of the session.
And the record elaborated: The re-
publican congress has added six states
to the union; has passed the silver bill;
recognized the old soldier generously;
provided for internal improvements,
the erection of public buildings, the i'm
provement of the navigation of rivers;
made liberal appropriations to increase
our navy, ETC., etc.
Indeed, and in short, the first session
of the Fifty-frst congress has been one
to which the republican party can
"point with PRIDE" as it can to every
act of its party while in control from
the days of Lincoln, and its record is
one upon which the party can go be-
fore the people, is before them, with
every confidence of success.

Ignorance or Knaverv2

Charles Robinson said last night in
bis opera house speech that the money
in circulation per capita has been de-
creased from $50 to SO. Is Charles
Robinson so ignorant as not to know
that he was not telling the truth, or is
ne talking for buncOmb regardless of
of right?
According to the United States treas
urylreport, in June 1873, the population
being less than As, 100000, the money
in circulation, according to this official
statement, excluding the amount in
the treasury, was $S19, POI 1872, or S17.-
p per capita. In 1879 it was $780,
955, 900, or $17.03 per capita. In 1880
it was 1913, nc 1897, or 1881 per cap
ita. In 1881 it was 81 ,119, o13, 843, or
$21.76 per capita. In 1882 it was ST.
us, JOB, Col or S22.33 per capita. In
1888 it was 81, 236, 3O1 1923, or SO. SO
per capita. In 1884 it was 81 PAS, 115,-
$50, or $50, 30 per capita. In 1885 it
was 81 ,29O, S44 500, or 500. 81 per capita.
In 1856 it was 81 ,249, 4S9, 1923, OF 81, 80
per capita. In 1887 it was 81, 317 ,214,-
SOS, or S21.5S per capita. In 1883 it
was 81, 81 ,1O1, 722, or $21.S per capita.
In 1889 it was 81, $50, 4O5, 561, or S21. 3S
per capita. Last March it was 81 49,
216,124, or $22.11 per capita. On Sep
TENDER l, 1890, it was 81 ,436, O62, 942,
or S22.44 per capita.
It can be seen from these figures that
the amount of money in circulation to-
day, excluding that locked mp in the
treasury, the amount actually among
the people in the channels of business,
is greater per capita than for any year
in the last twelve excepting 1888 and
and 1885; and it is further evident that
the circulation has not materially de-
creased per capita at any point in this
period, but has largely increased dur
ing the period as a whole, advancing
frem $l7.21 in 1878 to 800. IA in 1890.
or about 81 per cent. In other words
the increase of money in circulation is
81 per cent greater than the increase in
population.
Charles Robinson either did or did not
know these facts when he made the
contracted currency howl. Which?

ROBINSON'S RALLY.
The Democratic Meeting Interests a
Good Audience.


The show has come and gone. The
three-hOrse tumbler has given his eXhi-
bitiOn and we can now all judge of his
skill as political athlete. The opera
house contained very creditable audi
ence and they gave the performer re-
spectful attention. The rostrum was
occupied by number of eminent DEM
ocrats who are always found with the
faithful. Hon. John Johntz, the
banker, presided with grace and dig
nifty. On his right sat the Hon. p. s..
Warren, eX-banker, and now a candi-
date for democratic honOrs. Next
come the Hon. Thomas. Ii. MalOtt, the
banker, and by his side sat Hon.
Thomas Kirby, the banker. On the
whole the rostrum presented very
respectable and rich appearance, and
indicated great prosperity among the
banking fraternity. The prominence
given to the great financiers was doubt
less intended to impress upon the dear
people the wonderful ability there ex-
lists in the democratic party to manip-
ulate the funds.
Mr.. Johntz introduced Mr.. Robin
son. He said: Was in the campaign
to help people. Left the impression it
was against his will. People think so
today. Don't seem honest in what he
tried to say. Complained Of the distri-
button of wealth. Poor man can't get
wealth. Did not offer him any of his.
Consuming love for the people and
hatred of oppression made him can.
didate. Too many millionaires. Gov.
eminent a vast plan to accumulate
wealth for a few. Tariff great tax.
Poor man taxed. Taxed on tin cups,
suspenders, looking glasses. Rich man
not taxed. Suppose he hasn't any
thing to tax. One-ffth of all goods
bought are foreign. Americans make
the rest. Home products put in price
to equal foreign by manufacturers.
Pay government $4,000, 900. Pay home
manufacturer IS, 600, 900. All goes to
greedy east. Left impression that we
must buy everything from England.
Free coinage of silver the thing, Par
tial coinage damable outrage; all in
hands of president and secretary of
treasury after 1891. Mckinley bill out
rageous fraud. Talks in the guise of
private citizen, not as democrat or
republican. Fictitious man says
prices would go up. Sounded fshy.
Read a Kansas City advertisement that
said prices would be higher. Didn't
read the end of it where it said that the |
advertisers would sell lower than ever |
before. Wanted more money. Bank |
ers all getting rich. Awful lot of men.

The Duty on Binding Irvine.

a democratic exchange makes the
astonishing declaration that the Nc
Kinley bill lays duty of s14 per ton
on binding Irvine. That is true.
Seyen-tenths.Of a cent pound will
make $l4 ton. But a farmer with
fifty acres of grain, and that is above
average buys two pounds of Irvine to
the acre or 100 pounds, and not 1000
pounds. Under the former law a
farmer using 100 pounds of Irvine
would pay (if he pays it, q cents a
pound or $3.50. Under the Mills idem-
Ocraticl bill he would pay Is per cent
ad valorem or about II cents pound
81 so; and under the Mckinley bill
40 of a cent pound or 20 cents! So
it is seen that We have never had
tariff on Irvine anything near so favor
able to farmers as the Mckinley bill,
and yet on such feeble grounds the
democrats expect to arouse feeling
against it.

had asked him question. Wouldn't
tell whether he said the sentence quoted
or not. Some people said Kansas was
losing. Didn't have any facts himself.
Census said we have 1000 thousand.
Secretary of Historical society told a
man he thought state had fallen off.
Census a fraud. Iowa and Colorado
big gains. Census all right there.
Some people said we should have re-
submission. Didn't know himself.
Left impression that he was crawfish-
ing. REFLECTOR had asked why he
was not a republican, Used to be a
good party. All wrong now. Said
when one party was wrong he jumped.
When that was wrong he jumped again.
Good jumper. Always jumping.
Seemed worried about the REFLECTOR.
Good advertisement. Kansas soldiers
don't get pensions enough. Didn't ex-
plain how many they got when Cleve-
land vetoed 'em all. Guessed he'd be
elected. Said it jokingly. Don't be-
lieve it himself. Nice old man. Got
into bad company.
Park S. Warren was introduced and
made graceful exuse from speaking
as he had not been advertised.
L. F. Green then devoted an hour to
rambling discussion of everything in
which he managed to get on both sides
of all the subjects brought up.
The lights went out and the people
went home to laugh about it.

Our Tickhf-

The republicans Of Dickinson county
have never had a ticket of which they
could more justly be proud than the
one they put before the people on Sat-
urday last. From top to bottom it is
composed of clean handed, capable gen.
tleman whose names are familiar to
the people of the country and are syn
onymous with all that is manly and
straightforward.
W. S. Anderson as clerk of the dis
trict court has filed the Office for two
years in a manner that has made him
friends on all hands. He has looked
ont for the county's interests as we'll as
he did for his cOuntry's during the
four years of the war.
B. w. Peck when he came before the
convention on Saturday to accept the
nomination exactly expressed the sit
uation in saying that he had kept his
pledges. He has made a No. probate
Judge; every lawyer in Abilene and all
others who have had business before
the court bear testimony to his eff
cheney. His reelection will be de-
served recognition of merit and there
is no doubt but that it will take place.
The choice of G.. W. Hurd for county
attorney will be ratified at the polls in
November. His record as county at
torney when he held the Office before
was one that can be pointed to with
pride. 1t was one not excelled in the
history of the county. AS a clear
headed and faithful lawyer and one who
will look after the interests of the peo-
pie G. w. Hurd will be recognized and
supported heartily.
J. H. Niesley is strong addition to
the ticket. He will receive the hearty
support of nearly every teacher and of
all the better class of citizens for the
Office of superintendent. His record as
a teacher is one for a man to be proud
of. Every step has been upward and
has been made by sheer merit.
The choice of the 6Sth district of
VIM. Mex. Merrifeld for representa-
tive was an honor to one of north Dick
inson's most worthy republicans and
successful farmers. Mr.. Merrifeld is a
gentleman of unquestioned integrity
and eminent capicity for suitably rep
resenting the people Of this county in
the state legislature. He will receive
a hearty support at the polls and will lie
elected.
Altogether the ticket is d strong one.
We challenge the most critical COM
parison of every candidate with his OPP
pOnent before the people. In every
case it will be found that the republic
can nominee is better qualified and has
more elements of strength. The Re
FLECToR is proud of the Dickinson
county republican ticket and believes
it will be elected entire.

Labor Commissioner Frank BettOn
whose reports the GROWERS quote to
show Kansas condition, says: During
the last five years the number of per
sons engaged in manufacturing, min
ing and transportation in Kansas has
increased from %, 100 to nearly As, 1885,
or nearly 50 per cent. The aggregate
wages paid in 1885 amounted to S10,-
zoe, $1,000, an average of S3S0.9O to
each. In 1889 to S23, 7S5, 40, an aver
age of $51S.92. OF the 337 working
men making personal reports to the
bureau in 1885, ninty-six owned their
homes. From returns received from
657 married working men during the
past few months, S21 say they own
their own homes. These 657 men carry
life insurance aggregating s551 $3.50, and
have a savings of sSO5,615. Oh, yes,
Kansas is going downward rapidly and
the laboring classes are certainly in a
pitiable condition.
