PITTSBURG, KANSAS.
A Great Smelling Center.

This infant city, hardly out of its
swaddling clothes, only about ten years
old, boasting of ten thousand popular
ton, is not satisfied with being the
largest zinc smelling city in the world,
with its forty-eight furnaces in opera
ton, and sixteen now under construc-
ton, but is budding out as silver and
gold smelling point. which has already
led some of her most enterprising BUSH
ness men into the field of legitimate
mining for the precious metals. They
have bonded a silver mine in Arizona,
and purchased a valuable, developed
gold mine in Old Mexico, which has
been capitalized on a business basis.
There is no success like success, and
Pittsburgians have been getting there
with both feet for the past ten years,
and the reader who wants to make some
money on mining stock should write for
information to the Pittsburg Mexican
Mining Co., Pittsburg, Kansas.

there is hope. SO far no particular in
road has been made into our ranks, but
We are steadily gaining ground every
day. The press to a great extent has
lost its influence over the people, and
turncoat politicians have completely
played out, and If we can only succeed
in getting every farmer and laborer,
and every friend of pure and honest
democratic government to look this
question squarely in the face, victory
will perch upon our banner, and the mon

or vice to be in debt"
Yet these patriots (?) would have the
people believe that the obligations they
are nnder to others constitute the meas
ure OF their wealth and prosperity.
Franklin said when you run In debt
you give to another power over your
liberty" In Greece this was literally
true, as the debtor became the literal
slave of the creditor. In America he
maintains his nominal freedom, but is
in reality little less slave. On, the
mockery of this partisan cry that
wealth resides in our evidences OF SER

Quite number of uniformed farm
ers labor under the delusion that the
alliance movement is OF recent origin
and will have but an ephemeral exist
ence Such is not the case. Texas. the
state of its birth, has just held her
twelfth annual state alliance, and the
order in Texas is much stronger in
number and more united in purpose
and more determined in resolutian than
ever before The order, however. in
many ef the states is young in years
but strong In spirit and growing fast.
The order now in the United States
numbers about four million MEMBERS

mot solitary thing has been done
ny the farmers alliance to increase the
foreign demand for farm produce, but
the republican party has done much"
says the New York Tribune. The first
increased demand for farm produce
that we have experienced came with
their message that all Europe is on the
verge of starvation, owing to failure
of crops. Is republican statesmanship
responsible for failure of European
der at the expressions of mad glee on
the part Of republican organs at the
prospect of European starvation.
mot single thing" continues the
Tribune, "has the farmers Organiza-
ton done to increase the supply OF
money, but the republican party has
done much" The Tribune is probably
aware of the fact that the alliance has
not yet had the reins OF government.
That Is the reason it has done nothing
to increase the supply of money; and
that ought to be very satisfactory
reason, especially when it seems to be
such difficult task for the ruling party
to give the country any beneficial legis-
lation. The republican party had an
opportunity at the last session OF con-
gress to pass two bills, both brought
forward by the alliance; one to issue
treasury notes to the farmers on the Sc
curity of their lands, the other to issue
treasury notes to farmers and planters
on the security OF their crops OF corn
and wheat, cotton and tobacco. The
alliance also endorsed and used its inf1u-
ence in favor of bill providing for the
free coinage of silver. The passage OF
any one of these measures would have
relieved the currency stringency, and
the passage of all Of them was an imper-
alive necessity to shake the mold from
the wheels of commerce and place busl-
ness upon prosperous footing. The
alliance desired very much to have
these measures passed. Every argu-
ment was urged in their favor, and none
was advanced against them. The ALI
ance did all it could to get the republi-
cans to pass some measure of currency
relief but instead the party gave us a
law whose effect has been to degrade
and practically demonetize silver, not
withstanding it stood squarely pledged
to restore silver to its constitutional
place before the law. On every posi-
BILE occasion the republican party has
sat down upon the alliance, pigeon
hOled alliance measures for the relief OF
the people, and set in motion every pur-
chaseable tongue and pen in the country
denOuncing alliance principles and viii
lifying alliance leaders. Whatever the
alliance has accomplished has been done
in spite of the virulent and senseless OPP
position of the republican party.
If the republican party will step aside
and give the alliance q chance, some
thing will be done, and that right
speedily, to extend our markets and
help industry out of its present unhap-
py condition.-Plain Talk (Vermilion,

Why Did Col. Polk Leave Kansas?


This question is source OF great
trouble to the demo-repubIicrat press.
Visions OF rotten eggs and tar and feath-
ers are floating to and fro, and many
wise (?) suggestions are given to the
public respecting his sudden departure
as they are pleased to designate it. We
are told that he was recognized by
an old soldier at Wichita as former
superintendent of Salisbury prison
whose Untold cruelties make he patri-
OTIS blood freeze in his veins. and much
slush of like character The facts are
that President Polk told Secretary
French and many others Immediately on
his arrival in this city on Sunday, Sep
TENDER t. that the Wichita meeting
would be the last he could possibly at
tend in Kansas, and the managers OF the
other meetings were notified according
ly and other speakers were provided to
take his place.
With regard to his recognition as a
superintendent Of any prison, whatever,
during the war, the statement is sim
ply another republican lie manufacture
ed out of whole cloth. We last year
cornered the Gettysburg story and
proved it's utter falsehood, and hence
the bloody shirt campaign OF the calam-
ity makers required a change OF pro-
gram. There is certain species OF the
old soldier in Kansas that is able to rec
ognize anything that may be desired in
the bloody shirt line. This element in
the ranks of the old soldiers is repre-.
sented by such men as Meredith, Coul-
ter, Campball and Hudson. The ques-
ton has been frequently asked why it is
that of the more than one hundred
thousand old soldiers in Kansas, less
that one-fifth are members of the Grand
Army of the Republic? In is sufficient

of the organization to the service OF the
republican party. Department Com
mander Collins fifty scored this at

There is a gang of would-be leaders OF
old soldier organizations who are dis
grace to all surviving veterans; and
these men are exceedingly active in
their efforts to perpetuate the spirit of
hate between the two great sections OF
our country. Fortunately their inf1u-
ence is no longer potent with the PEG.
pie. We fought for o united and not a
divided country. The cause OF united
country triumphed at Appomatox, and
every man who still seeks to continue
strife and discord and hatred and divis-
ion is an enemy and trailer to his coun-
try, and should be so regarded and
treated. "LET US HAVE PEACE

FARM AND FIELD.

THERE are many adv coates OF mulch
ing, and it is generally regarded as a
very necessary and profitable course.
One Of our contemporaries asserts,
however. that thorough cultivation is
better than mulching. Besides. il says
that in mulching there is danger from
fire in dry time. and also that the roots
run up toward the surface. which is al
ways moist from the mulch.
