The Suffering British.

The report of the associated press on
the depressed condition of English
manufacturing interests by reason of
the Mckinley bill reveals a sad state
of affairs.
1t is painful to reflect that American
labor will be obliged to make $3.50. 900
worth of worsteds for a single month
that might have been bought from
Bradford. There was a slight increase
in exports of carpets to this country
the past month, but for the seven months
ending with August heavy decrease.
Of all wooden goods the value was but
sS,669, 410, against $15, 165, S45 last
year. It does seem too bad that British
workers are no longer employed in
stead of about 800 Americans in
making s6,5OO,OOO worth of these
goods. How much better it would
have been to let that number of Amer
leans remain idle seven months SUD-
ported by the rest of us.
1t is also sad to reflect that in the
iron manufacture we are using the
labor of many thousand Americans
who ought to be idle in order that
more British goods might be imported.
The decrease in American purchases
Of British hardware in August was
about one-half, of pig iron about three
quarters, Of hoop and sheet iron about
nine-tenths in quantity and four-fifths
in value. The total value of all iron
and manufactures thereof exported to
this country was esS, 455 for the month
against e19O, 1884 for the same month
asst year, or less than half, and for tbs
seven months the aggregate value was
hardly one-half, or s., 6SI 200 less.
The decrease in American imports of
cad manufacture is more than a quar-
er, in clothing more than. third. in
more than sixth, in pack
ng bags more than third, in cement
more than quarter, and in earthen-
ware nearly third. When it ia
that a wicked Mckinley

manufacture such quantities of so
aany things instead of standing idle.

Industry will be in part appreciated.

A Rillion-Dollar Country.

There has been so much attempt at
making political capital by democrats
out of the appropriations of the last
congress that it does ones heart good
to see the howlers get dressed down in
such shape as this from Frank Leslie's
Illustrated newspaper: A recent cen-
sus bulletin shows that the valuation
of real and personal property in the
United States aggregates $50, $40, OOO,-
900, This is more that $1,000 per
capita.
The increase in the wealth of this
country during the decade from 1880 to
1890 was over 100000, 1000, an
amount which is more than the entire
wealth of the country as reported by
the census of 1850.
The census shows that this nation is
worth 81 900 per capita now, while in
1880 it was 1870, in 1870 it was $3.50
and in 1850 only 1914 per capita.
There has been some talk about the
last congress having been a billion
dollar congress. The people should
not forget that this is billion dollar
c012atryl
The increase in the average actual
value of crops in this country during
the past year over that of preceding
years was over 81, 200, 100000. In a

republic in the world, supporting over

The Principles at Stake.


The enthusiasm among republicans
concerning the result of the convention
on last Saturday is growing steadily.
Not defect can be found and with
each hour the popularity of the ticket
increases. Everywhere among repub-
licans there is feeling of satisfaction
over the harmonious action of the dele
gates in choosing such excellent STAN
dard bearers for the coming campaign.
1t is not fictitious or perfunctory
expression of opinion as to the running
qualities of the ticket. Every republi-
can believes that with judicious man.
agement and earnest work the republi-
cans will win in November. Enthusi-
asm, good nature and confidence are
growing everywhere. The ticket is a
winning one and is made up for that
very purpose. 1t is in a partisan sense
a good ticket, for in its construction
attention has been given to the feelings
of localities that are worthy of consid-
GRAFTON. Abilene only received one of
the offices over which there was any
contest. Hope, Enterprise and Buck
eye received the three most important
places on the ticket, and in this
connection it may be said that alliance
men and democrats as well as republic
cans regard all of the nominees as honor
able and capable gentlemen. Nothing
is to be said against the capacity or
personal character of any of them, all
of whom were selected with the idea
that a good clean ticket was the one
thing upon which republicans could
have hope of success.
The platform is worthy of the ticket.
There Is the ring of the true metal
aboutit. The spirit which characterized
the republican party in early days
thoroughly pervades it, 1t is aggressive
in every line and sentence. Not the
vestige of an apology or explanation
appears. 1t is patriotic; it is purely
American. 1t is the expression of
true Kansans. 1t is for honesty in
public and private life. 1t is is for the
credit and good name of Kansas.
But while the campaign has thus
opened auspiciously and the prospects
are excellent, republicans must not
forget that the battle Of the ballots
has not yet come. While confidence is
a good thing to have and while there is
excellent ground for confidence in this
case, there is, nevertheless, always
danger of having too much of it.
Battles in the field and battles at the
ballot box have often been lost by
over confidence. This should not be
permitted to take hold of the republi-
cans OF this county. At the last, votes
viii count and this being the case, no
votes should be lost through neglect or
otherwise on the day of election.
The contest is a most important one
TO this state. 1t is important not only
in the present bat also in The future.

AT Clay Center Col. l.. L. Polk said
he was sorry for the Kansas children
because they have to dig in the field
when they ought to be in school. Mr..
Polk forgot to tell his audiences how
his own state stands on the educational
question. While North Carolina has a
larger school population than Kansas,
a third more Kansas children attend
school than North Carolina children.
In Kansas the public school term is
twice as long as in North Carolina;
while Kansas spent for school purposes
last year 1872, 1866, North Carolina
spent Sis, 255-about one-seyenth,
and the state superintendent is quoted
as saying officially: "There is much
opposition to public schools in the state
and in the south generally" It is
these little slips of memory that make
the calamityites' speeches fall very fat
in Kansas
Abilene weekly reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1888-1935, 1891-09-17

the case may be not only this year, but
after as well. Upon the defeat of the
peoples party throughout this state
depends the good name, the financial
credit, the prosperity and the happiness
of the people of Kansas. Upon the
defeat of that ticket dependthe homes
of hundreds aud possibly thousands of
the farmers of Kansas.
The fight is not fight for one man,
not fight for two men, not fight for
ticket, but struggle for the FREEDOM
nance of those principles of right, of
honesty and of good government which
have made this the greatest, grandest
and the best country on earth. You
may prefer one man to another; you
may possibly have preferred a list of
candidates different from that COM
pleted on last Saturday; but these are
subordinate matters. The republican
party has always been grandest, has
always been greatest and has never
been defeated when it had its eye fixed
upon its principles, 1t was not the
names of the generals in the war Of
the Rebellion that coDjured success.
1t was the everlasting right that moved
US forward to victory.
The principles for which we now
contend affect the foundations upon
which our future prosperity as coun-
ty and state must rest and every
attempt to weaken them brings upon
us disaster and financial ruin and none
feel the grinding effects Of the want
of credit already created by the calam-
ity leaders, more than the farmers.
Let this be a campaign of education
and not of deception. Let all republic
cans and all others interested in the
overthrow of fraud and deception
and who desire the restoration of the
good name and credit of the state of
put forth every effort and see
that nothing is left undone any where
that may be calcul ated to bring success
With the defeat of the peoples party
ticket in November will return the
wonted prosperity which has, until this
time, always accompanied good crops
and good prices in Kansas.

Built for Business.


The republican county ticket and
platform as adopted Saturday are BUSH
nesslike and commendable. The re-
publicans Of the county may well be
proud of their standard bearers in the
present campaign and of the principles
upon which the battle is to be fought.
There was in tbs convention a notice
able enthusiasm which told of an earn
est determination to win and with the
large attendance and complete har-
mony proved what we have all along
been clsiming-that the republican
party of Dickinson county is in better
shape than ever for victorious CAM
paign.
To the ticket selected nothing but
praise can be given. The candidates
are without exception the kind Of men
the REFLECTOR has urged the party to
choose-clean, upright representative
citizens. They are the choice OF the
party for the respective offices and we
believe that they will be elected.
When party can have such men as
Brenizer, Ellison, Nottorf, Frey,
Romig, Gibson, Keller, Ayres and
Baker for its candidates it is fortunate.
They represent all sections of the
county and different business pursuits,
They are sterling republicans and citi-
zens of unimpeachable records.
There ale men of that class, happily
growing larger in this country every
year, who are bringing into our politics
character, ability, patriotic purpose
and a warm zeal and deep fidelity to
the interests of all the people. The
ticket in Its entirety is thoroughly
representative, without being at any
point cheap bid for class or fractional
the enthusiastic unanimity |
with which it was endorsed is clear
of the fact that the re-
publicans will march to the polls with |
their ranks consolidated and their
purposes in close accord. 1t is ticket |
that cannot be opposed on any other
ground than that the voter prefers the
politics of calamity, of reputation, of
class legislation, to the republican pol
icies of honesty, of state pride, of tenn
perance, of home industries and home
markets and of prosperity and happi-
ness.
The endorsement of Judge Hum
1hrey in the interest of clean and
Judiciary was also COM
and shows the sentiment of
he republicans of the county.
The platform We ask you to read
gain. 1t is anti-calamity. 1t is in
avOr of prosperity and progress. 1t is
! platform of principles upon which
very lover of advancement and good
citizenship can stand.
With such ticket and such plat
orm, with harmony and determine
lou in the ranks and a shoulder to
boulder effort fer good government.

The Twenty-fifth judicial district is
making straight-out fight to defeat
the anarchistic Judge Doster for Judge.
1t is rather a sad commentary on the
good sense of the Kansas people that it
is necessary for any fight at all to
defeat political schemers whU desire to
corral the judiciary for partisan pur-
poses. However, there will be a
general overthrow of such demagogues
in November.

The rate at which Kansas mortgage
Indebtedness is decreasing makes the
figures gathered in June, 1890, by the
census of little value now. Moreover
those figures took no account of the
partial payments on mortgage notes
which must amount to a tremendous
aggregate. 1t is doubtful if the states
total Indebtedness now will amount to
40 million dollars. This on valua-
ton of over 500 million is not bad.

The farmer should not wear a long
face when he has the opportunity to
smile; he should not plead poverty
when there is no poverty; ne should
not complain of poor crops and poor
prices when neither are poor. With
the prices of farm products where they
bid fair to go and with plenty of pro-
ducts to market, he should shout with
JOY Council Grove Alliance-Guard.
Be careful, be careful, or you will be
read out of the party. You certainly
know better than that. Isn't your
rebel boss, Col. Polk, telling Kansas
audiences that the farmers are suffer-
ing; that their children are working in
the field when they should be at school,
that they are getting the very dregs of
existence? Isn't PETER telling eastern
audiences that the Kansas farmers are
bankrupt and that they are on the
verge of starvation? We are surprised
that you should print such heresy.
