Emporia Republican: There are three
things that make Kansas farmers insult
ferably tired. First TO be told that their
condition is due TO prohibition; second, TO
have free trade offered them as a remedy;
third, to be assured that the secretary Of
the treasury is unable to get silver coin
into circulation.

EDITOR ADVOCATE:

there Is O great revolution In the industrial
system pending, and whether II shall be
for better or worse depends entirely upon
the wisdom Of tho reyolutionizcrs. To do
anything well il Is necessary, before the
job Is commenced, to know Just what Ia
desired to be done and how TO do Il.
John f. Canning says. "The first thing TO
do Is to elect O3 farmers and 3 lawyers to
the Senate instead Of 03 lawyers and 3
farmers as at present, also TO have the
same ratio Of farmers in the House of
Representatives and our state Legisla-
ture' Correct, 80 far; but TO send Oh
farmers to the Senate not knowing what
TO do or how to do 1t would be folly; or
knowing what they were expected to do
and not knowing how TO setabout IL, they
might be persuaded by the 3 lawyers to
DO the job In the wrong way and spoil II.
For instance They are told TO put in
circulation more money, and the lawyers
(being good republicans tell them that to
do 80 1t Is first necessary to have a gold or
silver basis; that before they can issue
paper money they must first send an
army Of men to the Rocky mountains to
dig out gold and silver, cart it to the
mint and manufacture IL into gold or sill
yer coin, take IL to the treasury vaults and
bury II again before they can issue a like
amount Of paper money for use and they
proceed to do II that way; the probability
is that before the money got to their con
stituents they would all be dead. Now |
hope in the near future we will be sens
bic enough to elect at least majority Of
farmers to the Senate, Congress and Leg
islature and that they will understand
what to do when there; and in the mean
time. believe II necessary to discuss in
friendly way all issues and changes CON
templated.
Therefore we wish to say a few words
concerning Brother w. " Marshall's con
tribution in THE ADVOCATE Of Feb. 27.-
BE Careful, Make no Mistakes. Well, we
think he has sadly failed to follow his
own good advice, first when he SAYS
"Neither must we forget that had II not
been for combinations and the suppress
sion decomposition we would have bought
and sold at natural prices, that Is, the
prices the law Of competition Dictates"
Does competition ever allow Il II can
prevent II, sales at natural prices? We
claim that It does not. Competition Is a
law or rule, Of "grab all keep all" regard
less Of who suffers, fails or starves on ac-
count of it--Again
"somebody must be the victim Of the
combinations. No sir; let us come out
and say "Natural laws ara good enough
Tor US. Competition will do The pro-
vision which God has created cannot be
improved upon;"
Mistaken again; had he said somebody
or every body must be the victims Of the
competition he would have been much
nearer correct
Yes Natural laws are good enough for
us" but is competition any part Of Natur-
al lawY II may be the law Of "the suryi. |
val OF the fltest;" that is If the most cruel
avaricious, cunning and dishonest are the
titest. Competition will do.D Yes to
crowd honest industry to the wall and

The alarming development and aggres-

and corporations under the present indus
trial system will inevitably lead 10 the pau-
peri2ation and hopeless degradation OF the
tOiling masses. II is imperative, II we desire

much desired object can DO accomplished
only by tho united efforts OF those who obey

A FLOOD THREATENED.
The Boyed Dam Endangers
Carson Valley.

The sudden change of tempera'
ture IN the last few days has placed
a serious aspect in the outlook in
the Valley,
The flood mentioned yesterday ii
is claimed was caused by the backing
of water behind the Boyed dam.
Breaking ice added to the height OF
the dam and the water began to
spread over Carson Valley 80 as to
endanger life and property.
At John Rosser's ranch, nine
miles trem here, the water was two
feet deep in his house.
Herman Springmeyer was obliged
to drive his stock to high grouHd to
save their lives.
Yesterday however, there was a
tremendous rush OF water and
broken ice below the dam, showing
that 1t had broken.
The flood came with fearful velo-
city past the mills and all day the
stream was roaring.
Ali along the valley came reports
of floods and fears of snow slides.
The thaw is originated by a warm
south wind, which if it keeps up
torty-elght hours will sweep enc
end of the Valley to the other. The
result of the thaw is the beginning
of the hay famine.
Yesterday grass hay was $40
ton, the hay yards selling it to
favored customers. Alfalfa can be
got at the R, r. depot for $l7, 80.
Should food follow, hay will be
$25 a ton inside a week.

seLce OF official records throughout
the State, prior to 1887, no definite
estimate can be placed upon the
excess, which was abnormal during

The oldest residents of the State
say that no such weather has been
experienced up to the month Of
December since the Winter of 1853

The storm which started in the
latter days OF November practically
continued throughout December,
there having been on an average
10. A days upon which rain or snow

while the amounts are excessive

to stock and property.
IN the Sierra Nevada mountains
travel could not be resumed for

The storm was net local, for while
