Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1891-11-17
Letter from Capt. EOyd.

Capt. Lloyd writes from New
Rochelle, n. Y, as follows: 81
must say that | am disappointed IN
the election in Kansas. 1t looks to
me as though you Kansas people
thought you would let the money
power, for once, do it's level best.
Il send you some slips from the
Plutocratic press of New York city.
How they do want Gov. Buchanan,
of Tennessee, to inaugurate a war
on labor. This step is the plotting
of the power of money to harm. l
do hepe and pray that Gov. Buchan-
an is discreet and patriotic enough
not to allow them to make cats
paw of him to pull the chestnuts
out of the political fire, for the ben
eft of Wall street.
you say in the AGIrAroR of the
5th, the agony is over wish it
was, but it has only just begun.
"Fraternally and hopefully yours,
GEO. w. LLOYD.
"P. S. | shall not be able to 60
to Indianapolis on the 18th inst.
but | hope to meet the boys on the
ODD of February, 1892. G. w. l..
New Rochelle, ~, Nov. ID. "
BY some means, the Captain
failed to enclose the slips he speaks
of. We are sorry he feels so badly
about Kansas. She's all rlght-or
will be in '92.

Give Them Taxed Boots to Kick
With.

Secretary Rusk thinks that since
Massachusetts, has kicked against
the tariff by electing a Democratic
governor, it's people should be given
something to kick about; and he
advises the president to impose a
duty on hides from countries which
have not entered into reciprocity
agreements with this country. This
is very funny development of
the theory that the spoils of office
belong to the victors. Mr.. Rusk
evidently holds that to vote a Dem
ecratic ticket, even for state officers,
is an an act Of disloyalty to the
government of the United States
which should be punished with Sc
verify. The Democrats of Massa-
chusetts could not ask for any
better issue for the campaign of
next year than the one Mr.. Rusk
desires to provide for them.-New
York Weekly Witness.
Wonder how it will he with the
Republican party of Kansas and
Nebraska, where they and the
Democrat party fused? Guess they
will claim it was just reciprocity
agreement they hal catered into.

The Care OF Money.

Following is a short editorial
which appeared in a recent number
of the Kansas City Times
There is no harder work in life
than to handle money safely and
cause it to increase. The men who
succeed in doing this are the eXcep-
tions in financial history.
If fifty young men at the age OF
81 were each given $4,000, and
forty-nine of them should enter the
various branches Of business, while
the fiftieth invested in thirty-year
bond bearing 6 per cent. interest,
at the end of thirty years not more
than two of the forty-nine would be
worth as much as the fiftieth, pro-
vided he had not parted with his
bond.
In other words, the one who al
lowed his money to work for him,
and who had exerted no brain force
whatever in it's management, would
be. with one or two exceptions; the
best off. The forty-seven would
have put their brains behind their
money; they would have worked as
hard as men can work, and through
the errors of human Judgment, folly
or passion, they would be bankrupts
or wageworkers at so years OF age.
This is the history of the hnan-
cial world in a nutshell.
Yes, this is the history of the
financial world of late years. What
we need is conditions that will
make it easier for the man with
brains and energy to clay aside
something for a rainy day" and
not so easy for the fellow who
allows his money to work tor him,
but WHO never does an honest day
work, to live at ease while his more
energetic neighbor tolls and sweats
in order to keep soul and body to-
gether. Present conditions are not
right-not just. There must be a
change.

The Republican Party mot i'm it,

The Republican party is "not in
it" any more in state or nation, and
it is time now for those Republicans
who have been saying "your prlncl-
pies are all right and my sympathies
are with You, but | am afraid if |
vote your ticket it will let the Dem
ocrats in" to come out now and
stand with us. The Republican
party is now on the downward road,
and while the Peoples party may
seem feeble to-day, it is growing, and
growing rapidly. The monopoly
elements have now united on the
Democratic party, and they will
only seek to keep up the Republic
AN organization to divide the peo-
pie. The real fight is now between
the Democracy and the People S
party. If you believe in our prin-
ciples come out and stand with us.
Iowa Tribune.
According to Trigg of the Eagle,
the Republican party of Kansas and
Nebraska will, on Harrison's next
thanksgiving day, gnaw the rum
ning-gears of the Republican party
turkey and give thanks to the Dem
ocrat party of Kansas and Nebras-
ka for the bountitul stuffing; for
Immediately after the election Trigg
said, Come on, Harrison, with your
thanksgiving.

Coward and upward" is the
motto of the reformer, his eyes
with confident vision pierce the
future, he refuses to be circumscrib-
ed by the achievements of the past,
and looks with contempt he does
not care to conceal upon the con-
servative who says "this must be
because it always has BEEN" or
"this cannot be because it never
has been," yet the reformer does
not despise the lessons of the past.
From the records of history IN
which the conservative lies hope
lessly bound, he derives his greatest
encouragement for the work which
the other deems hopeless or chimer-
ical. When difficulties beset most
thickIy his pathway, he looks back
over the devious road up which hui
manity has come with toll and
travail, to gain fresh inspiration for
his work.
When greeted with taunts of
comfortable conservatism, and de-
nounced as revolutionist, crank,
lunatc, fanatic, anarchist or any
other Of the epithets with which it
seeks to veil it's lack of argument,
he remembers that less than gen
Grafton ago men and women whose
names are now among the honored
of all ages were so ridiculed, and
even suffered personal violence in
the streets of the centers of wealth
and culture, because they dared to
assert mans right to himself.
One of the most inspiring lessons
to be learned from the past is that
humanity is forging forward with
accelerating rapidity, more progress
is made in year now than in a
generation few centuries ago, and
the reformer now has added inspira-
ton and encouragement that if he
does his duty he may in his own
lifetime reap the benefits of his
labors. Let uc all then take new
courage and press forward with re-
newed zeal in the plain path of
duty.-Iowa Tribune.

Carnegie.

We find in the Iron Age an ac-
count Of the recent reduction of
wages at Carnegie's Edgar Thomp-
son Steel Works. "The meters
receive Csc. per 100 tons, instead of
$l.O6 the vessel repairers 26c. in
stead of &c; the ladlemen in the
blooming mill soc. instead of $l.l9.
The wages in other departments
"have been reduced in the same
proportion" That the men submit
ted to such cut-dewn without a
struggle is significant The past
has taught them that resistance to
Carnegie in the economic field
meant disaster to them in the form
of starvation, and frequently impris-
onment, or even death. In the
meantime Carnegie, who is an un-
naturalized foreigner, contributed
S., 900 to a corruption fund for the
election of Mckinley, and sends a
cask of Scotch whisky to President
Harrison. Does this not teach them
that resistance to Carnegie must be
in the political field, where that for
eign lord is entrenehed behind bat
Elements that labor, divided against
itself has erected, and that labor,
strongly united, can blow down
with it's mere breath on election
day?-The People.
1t is claimed that each of the old
party machines uses eight million
dollars in national campaign. We
need not ask where this money
comes from or who pays it. The
above demonstrates the fact that la
Dor is robbed to furnish the neces-
sary Doodle to run Republican or
Democrat campaign with. The
question may be asked, how are we
going to prevent this condition OF
affairs Our answer is to stop vot-
ing for the old political machines
or. in other words, stop oiling theil
machines with ballots.

IT is claimed that the election of
Mckinley in Ohio was on account
of protection. Presume it was, for
it is said that the whiskyites of
Ohio were unanimous for Mckinley.
They are always for the party that
protects whisky the most.

SAY, old-time Republicans, you
that think your party will give us
government control of the currency,
which you profess to think is right,
what do you think of this, from the
St. Louis Globe Democrat?
The circulating notes of the ma
tional banks unfortunately are
shrinking in amount but there is
room for hope that the Republican
party, which created and has de-
Tended the banks, will yet devise
some method whereby this feature
of the banking system shall be pre-
served.
Don't you see that your party is
welded to bank and bondholding
interests You can't expect them
to give us old-fashioned Republican,
ism. No party but the People S
party breaches that doctrine. Come
and Join it, and let us have a return
to the good old days of Lincoln

Democracy.-Southern Iowa Farm

If the Peoples party cast any
votes at the recent election in Ohio,
New York, Pennsylvania, Mississip-
pi or Iowa, the returns fail to show
them. Will the Journal or AGTTA-
TOR tell us what became of them =
Eagle.
Yes, the returns" sent out by
the Associated Press fail to show
the Peoples party vote. Why !!
Because the Associated Press dis
patches are manipulated by your
crowd, Trigg, and you fellows don't
want the world to know the strength
of the Peoples party. Associated
Press dispatches, about this time of
the year, are a grand fraud.
