THE National Reformer, edited and
published monthly at st. Louis by
w. s. Morgan, author of "History Of
the Wheel and Alliance and Impend-
ing Revolution is one Of our OK
changes which we have no hesitancy
in recommending to our readers
Those who have read Morgan's IA
nous book will have some conception
of the grand character of the litera-
ture contained in the National Re-
former. We will furnish this bright
paper, which has won it's way in less
than six months into the hearts Of the
people to the wonderful extent Of a
circulation Of 10000, with THE ADvo-
GATE for the low price Of $l.1O per

"BRAG0 rs A GOOD DOG, BUT "HOLD-
FAST is A BETTER.
The very best political bourbon in
the Kansas House Of Representatives
is Hon. William M, Rice, the dis
tinguished journalistic gentleman
from Fort Scott. When matters get
a little dull in the House, Represen-
tative Rice giaciously volunteers the
gratifying information to his fellow
workers in iniquity that kansas is a
Republican state, and that it is going
10 remain one"
And now comes the poor old Capi-
tai in It's issue Of March 10, and thus
admonishes and prophesies:
We hope the Alliance members OF thls Legisla-
ture are 80 we'll pleased with their stay In Topeka
that they viii come back In 1903 and take good
look at an old fashioned Republican majority
that will be In possession OF the state govern
ment and both houses.

Special 10 the Capital,
FORT SCOTT, Kan, March i3.The union con-
ventiOn OF Democrats and Republicans met TO-
night, and after hot time succeeded In nOmi-
mating John Glunz for mayor upon the third bal
lot. Judge Waters received fifty vOtes-one
more would have nominated him. Az this june.
ture row occurred, when Waters and few Of
his friends LEFT the convention, after denounCng
the gang as a set OF schemers who had basely be-
trayed him. AZ O'Clock the convention was
still In session.
This is precisely what we have pre-
diCted would be done as soon as the
independent party is thought to be
strong enough to defeat the old par
ties singly. The only obstacle to the
fusion of the Democratic and Repub-
liCan parties all over the country will
be the division of the spoils, and they
will even sacrifice in this respect
rather than see the people triumph.

sentative Patterson for his vote for
w. A. PETER for United States SenA-
tor, and declaring that in 90 doing he
truly represented the wishes Of his
constituents, Notwithstanding a few
persons, either through ignorance or
prejudice have deemed il incumbent
upon them to impugn his motives in
this matter. IL seems difficult for
some people 70 understand that an
officer has any right 10 go counter TO
their Judgment or rather their preiu-
dices, even when an overwhelming
majority Of Che people instruct him as
TO the duty they desire and expect
him to perform. Such men have yet
to learn the first duties Of citizen

LEAvENwoRTH County Alliance, we

car loads Of seed, food and clothing

is certainly a Creditable showing for
that county, especially when it is re-
memberod that il has made large
shipments ofsimllar supplies before.
The advocate., 1891-03-18

DON'T worry any about Judge PETER When
he gets TO the Senate he will take common sense
views Of things and do large amount OF useful
work. OF course he will introduce his Alliance
''reiOrm" measures and Of course they will be
gmOthered in committees, but upon matters Of
practical Importance he will usually be found
working and voting as the interests Of the peo-
pie, and particularly the western people, de-
mand -EHpOrid Republican.

measures twill be smothered in the

each year sees practically his entire
crop thrown upon the market al one
time, while the demand for il is di-
vided about equally between che
twelve months OF each year Instead
OF an over-produCtion, therefore, we
have simply an Over-marketing OF
each years product. This enables a
vast army Of spectators and gam
blers 10 rob the producer upon the one
hand, and the consumer upon the
other. A system by which all the
profits Of agriculture are thus alb
sorbed by idlers must be admitted TO
need a remedy of some kind. IL is
hardly necessary TO extend this detail
OF the unfavOrable conditions which
demand a change. The necessity of
some form Of relief 10 the agricul-
tural classes i too generally admitted
TO demand extended argument upon
this feature Of our subject. The diff
ference Of opinion that obtains
and the opposition that is TO be met
relates 10 the remedies that have been
proposed We shall undertake to de-
monstrate that the sub-treasury plan
adopted at st. Louis and reafimed
at OCala with only four dissenting
votes, after a full year Of study and
investigation, embodies the fairest,
the most promising and the most
thorough and complete remedy Of
any yet proposed. In our next issue
we shall present a complete detail OF
the plan, endeavoring to make all Of
it's features clear to every reader pre-
paratOry to the argument in It's sup
port TO follow in succeeding numbers.
We should be glad to have Alliances
take up the discussion in all parts Of
the state and send us any objections
TO the plan that may be deemed TO
exist in order that we may clear them
up as we 80 along. Wait however,
until our argument is presented.
Most OF the objections that we have
seen have been from a lack of under
standing. DO not 20 any faster than
we go, but do not hesitate 10 point
out any weak points in the arguments
as we proceed. Let us now give this
subject a thorough investigation. If
il is wrong in principle let us aban-
don il like men and look for some
other remedy. II we find il to be
sound in principle, however, and
adapted to our most urgent needs, then
let us stand by it as we have stood by
our demands in the past, regardless
Of the epithets and Misrepresentation
of the enemy.
AT the conclusion of this discussion
we will take up other questions, and
we may consider some Of the others
simultaneously. What we wish es-
pecially TO accomplish is to direct pub
lic sentiment, in all parts Of our state
and in other states as we'll, wherever

IMPORTANT MEASURES.

OVuBEb15 ny tuo COuAouolhyou lANuh-
trial organizations Of this country are
two involving thoprinCiple OF govern
ment loans TO the people. These have
encountered the bitterest opposition
from both the Democratic and Re
publican parties, and the arguments
presented in their support have been
met by the plutoCratiC press with
nothing but misrepresentation, ialsi-
fcation and insult to the industrial
classes The reason OF this is appar-
emit. These measures once adopted
would forever put an end TO the sys-
tenn Of usury and class favoritism
by which, during the last quarter
of a century, the few have be-
come milliOnaireg, while the mass
es have been constantly sink
ing lower and lower in the fnan-
Cial scale. IL is natural that those
who have so long fattened upon the
substance Of the people should resist
every encroSChment upon their privi-
leges. II is also natural that the
subsidized press which derives it's
substance from plutoCratic pap should
cast its influence where It's interests
dictate. The interruptions character
Of methods are in keeping with the
cause in which it is enlisted. The
experience Of the people has taught
them, however, TO place a very cor
rect and proper estimate upon the
epithets and vile ISLANDERS OF the op-
position, and il is hardly necessary
FOX the reform papersto longer pause
in their educational work TO e1-
pose their Misrepresentation and
falsehOOds. The time has come for
active work The campaign Of 1892
is near at hand. Let the reform press
assume the offensive from this time
forward. The economic principles
embodied in the St Louis platform
constitute the basis Of our campaign.
Let the contest at once begin.
During the next few weeks we
shall devote a series Of articles TO the
principles involved in the gub-treas-
ury bill as an introduction TO this pro-
posed discussion. Preliminary to
this il iS in order to observe some of
the conditions which render such a
measure necessary.
First among these in point Of inn
portanCe must be named the unfavor-
able circumstances Of the producing
classes which render it necessary that
they shall dispose Of each succeeding
crop as soon as il ls harvested, II is
not necessary in this connection TO
discuss the causes which have brought
about this condition. Il is sufficient
for our present purpose that the con-
ditiOn exists, This places che pro-
duCeT at once al q disadvantage. He
