Republican party, and nothing more
to hope from their success. They
claim to be tariff reformers. Look at
the Mills bill as the authoritative ex-
preston Of their ideas Of reform in
this direction. 1t represents a differ
ence of less than 5 per cent. from the
Republican idea of high protection.
Point, IL You can, to any single DEM
ocratic measure looking to the
abridgement of the powersof monop-
oily, or to anything in the history Of
the party indicating disposition to
favor the interests of the masses Of
the people. As James Buel says:
We (the National Bankers Association have
arranged the programme for both parties, and
we are willing the people should take their
choice of meh.
The Peoples party has nothing to
gain by fusion, but it has everything
to lose. 1t will never know ITS
strength until it becomes independ-
ent of every other party, and its prin-
ciples will never triumph until they
are borne to the front by it's own sue
cess. A victory through compromise
with Democracy would only be defeat
in another form.
The Democrat speaks with much
seeming knowledge of the bad breaks
of The ADVOCATE and says il is in
very bad odor. We desire to assure
our neighbors that The ADVOCATE is
not working for spoils or for position,
and that its patronage does not indi-
cate it to be in very bad odor among
the people, though it may be among
politicians who are destitute of prin-
ciples.

And so on until Mr.. Smiths last deposit OF cot
ton will net realize enough at 80 per cent. to buy
another bale. It appeared from this figuring
that John Smith, with 100000 capital TO start
with, could, under the Sub-treaSury scheme, buy
and hold for speculative purposes, $4,000 worth
Of cotton. He would not be at the mercy OF mar
gins. He would hold absolutely as long as he
paid the trialng percentage of interest and ware
house dues. If the entire product Of cotton In
the United States Is worth 100000 OO9, It would
take only sGOOOO,OOO capital to buy and hold
every bale.

The New York Tribune, of June n,
1891, has an article on 'The Finan-
cial Outlook" making these admis-
sions:
ItcannOt be denied that there is some sppre-
henSion lest the country may be slipping away
from gold basis, and In danger OF having silver
payments before long This apprehension, how
ever ill-founded 1t may be, undoubtedly has some
influence upon the action Of individuals. It ls

THE sUB.TREAsuRY AGAIN.

A correspondent sends us the fol-
lowing with request that we answer
it. We have seen the item going the
rounds of the opposition press, but
we regarded its supreme folly as it's
own answer. Examine it.
A correspondent of the st. Louis Globe Demo
crGt, writing from Jackson, Miss, says the sub
treasury Is the sole issue In the warmest cam
paign Mississippi has had since the reconstruc-
ton period. A leading MlSslSsippian Is quoted
as follows:
'It looks as If 1t had been devised by regular
syndicate Of SPECTATORS. It gives to the wealthy,
the capitalist, opportunities for crushing the
poor producer that no rings have ever before
dared to ask for. The Sub-treasury will put cot
ton. wheat, corn and tobacco In the hands OF
spectators. The mechanic, the labOrer, the
farmer who does not produce these articles,
would be compelled TO pay such prices as the
syndicate cheese"
Tnen the talker took a piece Of paper and
pencil and proceeded to demonstrate curious
problem, showing the power Of money to OppreSs
under the Sub-treasury Idea. He supposed one
John Smith to have 100000 In cash and to 20 In
for a speculation under the operation Of the sub
treasury. Smith buys 100000 worth Of cotton,
puts 1t In the sub-treasury, gets $4,000 on 1t
from the government, invests again, and 80 on

dustrles more eiTeCtually by far than it cOald II
ithad remained here.
The country is certainly slipping
away from a gold basis" and when
the Americans retire next year by
their votes at the polls the domestic
and foreign plOusiocraCy, political
papers like the Tribune will be seized
with fear and trembling.
The Tribune has unwittingly con-
fessed that the financial system in
vogue with this national administra-
tion is really but "a tinkling cymbal
and a sounding BRASS" bottOmed
upon naught but the caprice and Gu
pidity OF the money monarchs Of the
old and the new world, who have
marshAlled their ferces so that labor
may not have, rightfully, mere tithe
Of it's own.
But, remembering that the Tribune
and the Topeka Capital are but the
brazen, brutal and vehement advo-
Gates Of the Mckinley tariff act OF
October !, 1890, let these paragraphs
be noted:
IE is matter Of some surprise that the mer-
chandlse imports continue so heavy, but this ls
In large part evidence Of prosperous activity OF
industries here. When this country wants It's
gold back again for use Ia the fall there may be
expected strong resistance by European banks
and nnanclerS,
And this is the way the American
system of protection is normally
working in the interest of "hOnest
dollars" and Of American laborers, is
it9 But listen here how the bottom
Of the American gold money standard
is literally dropping out into the abb
solute monarchy system Of govern
ment in western Europe as so dole
fully expressed in the following from
the Tribune:
Most Of the gold taken from thls country has
been sent TO Russia, and there it win be held
away from the financial markets Of western
Europe. Strongly fortified as the great Euro
pean banks now are, lt must yet be admitted
that they win And lt exceedingly trying to take
from their stores or TO gather frOln their custO-
merS the 5000 900 gold which this country has
been advancing on merchandise imported and
stocks sent back.
II Is within the limits OF possibility that the
home demand this fall may take whatever secuE-
tiles Europe may have to sell, and, at the same
time, maintain such market for products that
foreign countries viii be obliged to pay fair
price for whatever they purchase.
Can any Kansas farmer, either
well-to-do or In q mortgage m@l-
strom; can any conscientious, honest,
intelligent and self-respecting wage
worker; can any sensible. unselfsh
banker, business men, or even fair,
prudent speculStOr in this great CEN
tral commonwealth, conceive any sort
Of prosperity that even the little
moiety Of a circulating medium in

A PARTY DESTITUTE OF PRINCIPLES.

The ADVOCATE sentiment so foreign
to Democratic ideas that it is moved
to exhibit q very bad spirit. TIE AD
voCATE is opposed to fusion with the
Democratic party and 1t exercised its
right of free speech by saying so
This is an offense 80 rank in the eyes
of our Cotemporsry that its rage is al
once excited and it indulges in reAec'
tions which are entirely unjustified
by facts. The Democrat says:
1t Is Of course high minded to talk about the
glorious principles of the party, contempt FOL
SpOils, etc.
1t is of course foreign to the policy
Of the Democrat to think of conduct
ing an election on principle. 1t has
no principles. Its party is and al
ways has been in q hopeless minority
in this state. It would be q very
pleasing circumstance If the rising
popularity of the Peoples party
could be made available to boost 9
few aspiring Democratic politicians
into lucrative positions. Having nc
principles of it's own to sacrifice in
order to secure this result, the idea
that principle should enter, in any
Way,.into the contest, becomes at once
a subject of ridicule.
The Democrat carries at its mast
head the name of David B. Hill for
president in 1892. Mr.. Hill is the
recognized champion of the monopo-
listic whiskey ring, the most efficient
tool Of the money power in control
ling votes in it's interest. In this we
do not refer to the whisky question
IN its moral aspects, or to any con-
troversy respecting the suppression
of the traffic. We refer to it solely
in the light of its monopolistic rela-
tion to the great red drsgon-the
money power of the world; and if
there is one fact that has been made
clearer than another in the admins
tration of David B. Hill as governor
of New York, it is that he is the
most plant and servile tool of that
monopoly. He owes his election as
governor and as United States Sena-
tor to it's influence. This fact is so
notorious that it is not denied in
New York. That the rank and file
of the Democratic patty are well
meaning men like the rank and file
Of the Republican party we shall not
question; but the leaders, and those
who seek to mold public sentiment in
both parties, are alike allied with the
money power and are laboring for its
support, as their choice of candidates
for Office, and their utter contempt
for principles clearly indicate. It is
from this source that they draw their
sustenance.
We hold that fusion or any kiad of
bargain Of any description whatever
for a division of spoils on condition
of support to a common ticket, even
in a local contest, is at a sacrifice of
principle and an ultimate sacrifice of

thinks that this win be the end OF the
sub-treasury plan, and that the great
organization which has endorsed and
advocated it will now subside and be
heard Of no more. He will possibly
learn later that the people are doing
little quiet thinking on their own
account, and that they no longer &C.
cept Che ingenious sophistries of their
would-be political leaders without
careful analysis. What is the object
Of this sub-treasury plan! Plainly to
enable the producers to control the
sale Of their own products, dispens-
ing with spectators altogether, and
themselves realizing the benefits OF
better prices. Under the operation
of this measure the cotton planter,
instead Of being forced to market his
entire product at the time it is gath
cred, will be enabled to store it and
market 1t only as it is demanded for
home consumption. As the govern
ment would make advances on it suf-
fcient to supply his immediate needs,
the necessity Of the sale to the $780,
600 SpeculatOr would no longer exist.
His occupation, which is nOaU SO prof
table, would, like Othello's, at once
be gone. If the adoption Of this
measure would really afford the op-
portunities for speculation indicated
by this writer, every speculator, ev-
cry emissary OF Wall street, and every
plutocratic organ in America would
be advocating it with all the energy
and ability they possess. The old
parties would use it as a means OF
securing the Alliance vote and would
vie with each other in their enthusi.
asm in it's support. It is because this
100000 man sees that he could nc
longer hope to carry on his system
attic robbery Of both producer and
consumer; and because it is further
seen that the control of the money OF
the country would no longer remain
with the national bankers and Wall
street robbers, that this measure
meets with such bitter and unfair
opposition. Does any one for a mo-
ment suppose that the cotton planter
who is demanding this measure for
the sole purpose Of release from the
bondage of the speculator would, af-
ter its adoption, still voluntarily and
unnecessarily continue to subjecE
himself to the abuse from which he
is now seeking to escspe9 The idea
is too preposterous to merit a mo-
ments serious consideration, and yet
the plutocratic press is giving this
piece OF consummate folly publicity
with as much seriousness as though it
really possessed the merit of a COM
mon sense production. 1t is but an
other evidence Of the hopeless char
acter Of their opposition to this move
ment.

Young Ladies Whom the Young Men
Will be After.
Mrs. NJ. E. Hinckley gave her first les
son in cooking in this city yesterday
morning to a class of young ladies, in the
kitchen in the basement of the Congrega-
tional Church. In the room is an excel
lent range, and almost all of the cooking
utensils needed to prepare dishes of any
variety. There was an air of neatness about
the kite hen which is not often seen in the
cooking room Of the average household,
and the young ladies manifested deep in
terest in the instructions given by Mrs.
Hinckley, while she superintended the
preparation of a number of dainty dishes
that were on the bill of fare. 1t was q
lesson in advanced cooking and lasted
two hours, at the end of which time the
class sat down to enjoy the meal that had
been cooked.
Lobster biscue was made first and the
young ladies all declared that they could
make it the next time without the assist
ance of the teacher. Then Dreaded tur-
bans, served with remoullde.sauce, were
prepared, and for desert, amber pudding
with snow-drift sauce was made.
The pupils all seemed delighted with
their first lesson, and no doubt the class
will be much larger when the next in
structionS are given.
