THE Houston Herald is after the
Post with sharp stick for not facing
the municipal music and toting fair
as between the bunco steerers and
the disorderly houses on the one hand
and the keno, faro, hazard and poker
tables on the other. Then, by way of
diversion, the Post is jabbed in the
ribs over its silence on the dishonest
practices of the council in accepting
contracts not according to specifica-
tions and Tribune says:
"If it really desires to do right and
accomplish some good for the COM
munity that supports it, why not load
its gun for bigger game. First pro-
tect the taxpayers who are being
robbed out of thousands of dollars
by corrupt officials and then it will be
time to look after the ansophisticated
sucker who tries to do the bunco sharp
and gets left. The Post dares not
fight these paving contractors but on
the contrary will justify them in any
robbery that they commit. The Her
aid says that the Houston Improve
ment company, aided and abetted
by the administration, has robbed
Houston of hundred thousand dol
lars. We challenge an investigation.
There seems to be quite sameness
between Houston and San Antonio
municipal methods, according to the
Herald.

State Ownership.

The new state of Washington is fig
uring on the solution of the railroad
question. That infant commonwealth
had all immense wheat crop last har-
vest. The elevators, warehouses. and
box cars along the railroad lines are
filled. while immense stacks of un-
threshed grain still stand in the fields.
The railroads claim that they are pow
erless to move it faster. and the farm
ers charge the railroads with being
in collision with the spectators to
force down the prices. So confident
are the farmers of this that they now
threaten to build an independent line
to their water outlet, Puget's sound,
and ask the state to issue bonds for
that purpose, the state to own and
operate the new line. We detest ev-
erything in the shape of interest bear
ing bonds, but we hope this road will
be built as an experiment in state or
government ownership of railroads.

The Topeka Capital of last Satur-
day undertook to boom e. IL. Snow
of the Ottawa. Journal, for state
printer. The simple reason for this
is that the Capital wants 10 divide
the opposition to ingalls,. Here is the
idea: Snow is candidate for state
printer, and p. Z. Elder, also of Otta-
wa, is candidate for ingalls, seat in
the United States senate. 1t is hard
" probable that two men from the
same section will be elected to fill two
Offices of such importance. So, if
Snow is elected state printer, Elders
chances would be weakened. Mr..
snow. however, would fill the Office
Of state srinter satisfactorily, and Mr..
Elder would be an able senator. But,
one or the other will have to give
way.

Helping Themselves.
w. SHURTLEFF.

The Kansas farmers are trying to help
themselves. The great trouble has been,
and still is, for the farmer to hold his
products so as to keep them out of the
hands of the speculator, and himself re-
ceive the benefit of raise in price. The
Kansas farmers are endeavoring to form
a company with sufficient capital to loan
money to those whose needs are most
pressing, and thus enable all to keep
their grain out of the market until profit
able sales be made. The purpose is
lsudable, but many difficulties must be
overcome to attain success.-Progressiye

Ed. KANSAS AGITATOR: haye read
your, paper, the Nonconfarmist, the
Iowa Tribune. have read the st.
Louis agreement, and the late Florida
platform, but not one word can l find
for the poor, down-trodden slave of the
machine. have tood many q morning
and seen thousands of men and women,
boys and girls, 60 their weary way to
the machine shops, there to work until
their tired frames would be allowed to
60 home by the whistling of their mas
ter's steam whistle, and have often
thought, do the farmers ever think of
the cities misery, of the serfdom of the
man or woman who must stand before
machine all day for mere pittance? If
they do. why do they not include ma
chinery with the railroads? call on
the AGITATOR, as a paper of the whole
people, to champion the cause of the
city workers, and the only way it can be
done is by government ownership of
machinery. Let the battle-cry for 1892
be, government ownership and control
Of money, transportation and machin-
cry, and the glad cry that will rise from
the city slaves will be the death-knell Of
the last stronghold of monopoly.

"The Rising Storm"

SsThe Rising SCOTms
The old party press is para'yzed
with fright. The heavy cannonading
Of November and. the rapid firing OF
the skirmishers all along the line has
started them ON a dead run. The
following extract clipped from the ed.
itorial columns of the Register of the
10Th inst. is sample of the piteous
appeals for help now issuing daily
from the organs of the money power
from one end of the country to the 9TH
er: 9.f
The Farmers Alliances, Oranges,
and all other farm associations have
been expressing discomfort with the
national banking system for a num-
Der of wears. They will now be
Joined by the Citizens Alliance, which
is composed of town and city mem
bership, and will cooperate with the
farm organizations. Ifthese elements
can be combined into one party, and
given control of congress and the ex-
ecutive department the nation will
certainly see revolution in financial
legislation. Is it not greatly better to
consider the demands of the farmers,
and all borrowers for an extension OF
the national banking system in a
manner that will give relief to bor-
rowers as well as lenders? 1t is fool
hardy to disregard the rising storm.
1t is greatly better to dissolve the elc-
ments that will precipitate the storm
If they are not Modified than it is to
bull healedly disregard all demands
for relief from the vast numbers of
those who borrow.
The Registers specific for "dissolv-
ing the elements" is for congress to
modify the banking law in the inter-
est of borrowers. 1t thinks the farm
ers are clamorons for this. Banks are
not run, nor can they be, Gin the in
terest of borrowers" Their business
is conducted in the interest of lenders
and will ever be 40 conducted. Nor
is there a demand anywhere among
the farmers for a modification. They
demand the utter and complete ex-
tinction of the national banking sys-
tenn, and they demand that the gov
eminent shall resume its constitutions
al and sovereign control over the three
great instruments of commercc,
money, transportation and telegraphy.
The plutocratic press will strive in
vain to "dissOlve the elements that
will precipitate the Storm" They are
above and beyond their reach. The
storm must and will come, and the
air will be purer and sweeter after
wards IOscd Tribune.

Balance Of Power.

Balance OF Power.
W. heaye heard it remarked that if the
farmers can elect enough members TO
congress and the legislatures to hold the
balance of power, they will do the conn-
trv a great deal of good. This SOUNDS
we'll, but let us stop and consider just
what good could be done in this manner.
The old parties are permanently divided
on the sectional lines, which makes IL
impossible to unite the friends OF gooo
government in either party. Again.
each of the old parties is dependent on
the vote that can be purchased by Doodle
md in order to procure the Doodle that
purchases votes they nre dependent on
the Doodle kings that furnish the Doodle.
The headquarters of boodleism is locat-
ed in the organizations Of monopoly
trusts and rum. These are the chief en-
emies OF the home of the laboring masses
and christianity. Hence there is mu-
tual obligation existing between the
aforesaid organization and both the old
parties, which is to say, "you must TICK
lie me If you expect me to tickle YOU"
titus we see it is utterly impossible for
either of the old parties to do anything
for the laboring masses that would mater
iallv interfere with the interests of the
Doodle powers. Hence all efforts to elect
this man or defeat the other man ON the
balance Of power theory is simply Il
waste of time. The division of the peo-
ple on a sectional line led by two old
sectional parties that get their nourlsh-
ment from the organizations of Doodle.
will continue to breed corrupt legislation
lust rs sure as filth breeds sickness. We
cannot remove the result as long rs we
allow the cause to continue. We must
law the ak to the root Of the tree that
bears the fruit of corruption, land the only
why this AK can be laid at the roots Of
the powers that are now bearing the
fruit of corruption in this government,
is for the farmers, laborers, and all other
friends OF good government, to come to-
rether in a united, national, non-partis-
An, reform party--electits ticket. Then
it will not only be possible fer that par
~ to give the people relief from the evils
with which they are burdened, but will
he impossible for it to do otherwise, for
il will owe its success not to the powers
of monopoly, rum, trusts, ana poouie'
but to the great masses OF the honest vol
ers of the nations. SO then, let all the
friends of a national political reform get
together, and pull together. for '92, bear
ing in mind that both the Republican
and Democratic parties are based on a
sectional issue, and can never raily TO
either party, the support OF a majority OF
rrnoI s,oyarnment in this nation.
