TWO OF A KIND.
The Two Old Parties Alike ON the Financial
Question.

The Two Old Parties Alike on the Financial
Question.
Greenbackers have always claimed
that there was no real difference be-
tween the leading and controlling ele-
ments of the two old parties on the
financial issues Their utterances and
their actions have proved it. Harper's
Weekly says there is no difference be-
tween them except as to who shall
hold the offices. We think this is the
size of ii. They have seven principles
the five loaves and the two fishes
But we have some new evidence on this
point by a leading republican paper,
that the republicans around here take
as their political testament 1t is from
the St Louis Globe Democrat of Au-
gust 90, and is as follows:
Cleveland is right on the silver ques-
ton. The only difference between
Harrison and Cleveland on the silver
question is that the former has the bet
ter way of stating the views which
they mutually entertain against the
heresy of free coinage"
There you have it, straight from
headquarters A leading and control
ing republican paper says that Cleve-
land is right on the silver question.
Mr. Carroll, of the Davis County Re-
publican, believes so, too, but he hasn't
quite enough courage to say so. Little
by little, but very steadily. the evidence
is accumulating that the old green
hackers were right all the time. and

The bulletin is chiefly devoted to an
attempt to break the force of the fig

estimate, are without a parallel An
average debt of 1926 on every family
in an agricultural state is crushing

charges, but without full considera-
ton of the table of interest charges
given on page "a of the bulletin it is
impossible to realize the gloom of the
Kansas situation. From this table,
which gives the rates of interest from
the official records, we extract the fol-
lowing figures, showing the sums bear

a FAMILY BURNED.
Shocking Discovery After Fire In Ro
of Cheap Frame Buildings.

of Cheap Frame Buildings.
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 14-Early yes
terday morning a row of cheap frame
buildings on North High street were
destroyed by fire. At ) o'clock last
evening the firemen found the remains
of human beings and began thorough
investigation and soon five bodies were
taken out and removed to the coroner S
office.
1t seems an entire family was burned,
and this explains why the dead were
not missed. The bodies are those of a
little boy of 2, girl of 4, another girl
of 6 and the father and mother, named
Betheard.
The fire occurred at o'clock in the
morning and neither the fremen nor
the police knew anything of the loss of
life until their attention was called to
the fact by lady friend of the burned
family.
The father was found on the floor
with his oldest daughter in his arms.
They were both burned to a crisp.
Mrs. Betheard, the mother, was lying
partially on the bed and partially on
the floor and looked as if death had
overtaken her in her efforts to reach
the floor. Her body was perfectly
nude and her back was in horrible
condition. 1t appeared as if all of her
clothing had been burned off and her
flesh cooked by the flames.

Full Text of the President's Order Appoint
ing November 26 For Thanksgiving.
WASHINGTON, Nov. I4.-The president
yesterday signed a proclamation fixing
Thursday, November 26, as a day Of
thanksgiving.
The full text of the proclamation is
as follows:
By the president Of the United states OF
America. A proclamation:
1t Is a very glad Incident OF the marvellous
prosperity which has crowned the year now
drawing to a close that its helpful and re-
assuring touch has been felt by all our peo-
pie. IL has been as wide as our country,
and so pecial that every home has felt Its
comforting influence. 1t is too great to be
the work of mans power and too particular
to be the device of his mind. To God, the
Bcnefcent and the All Wise. who makes the
labors OF men to be fruitful, redeems their
losses by His grace, and the measure OF
whose governing is as much beyond the
thoughts of man as IL ls beyond his deserts,
the praise and gratitude of the people of this
favored nation are justly due.
Now. therefore, /, Benjamin Harrison,
president of the United States OF America.
do hereby appoint Thursday. November 2G
present. to be day of joyful Thanksgiving
TO God for the bounties OF His providence. for
the peace in which we are permitted
to enjoy them, and for the preser-
vation OF those Institutions of civil
and religious liberty which He
gave our fathers the wisdom to devise and
establish and US the courage to preserve.
Among the appropr ate obstryances of the
day are rest from toll. worship in the public
congregation, the renewal OF the American
ties about American firesides and thought
full happiness toward those who suffer lack
of the body or of the spirit.
In testimony whereof have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal OF the United
States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this 18th
day of November, in the year OF our Lord
one thousand eight hundred and ninety one,
and of the independence of the United States
the one hundred and sixteenth. Seal

Interest rates of 10 per cent. and over
were paid on SO. 10 per cent. of the gross
amount secured by land mortgages
during the ten years, and it will be
noticed that OF TIE amounts bearing in
terest above 10 per sent there were
SS2. 5s7, ss3 bearing the Shylook's usury
of 10 per cent On debt Of S32, 500, 600
at this rate of usury, the unfortunate
debtors pay in ten years $50. 900, 900. or
SO, 500, 900 more than the principal at
the end of that time.
When the foreign exchange value of
Kansas produce is taxed down 81 per
cent by the republican tariff on return
cargoes, and when it is paying these
outrageous rates of usury on the debt
thus forced on its farmers. il is hardly
to be wondered that it is to be tempted
to grow impatient when the republican
party insults and ridicules it for pro-
testing.-S Louis Republic.

Ali Reports Indicate q bad state of AHairs
I'm Brazil-A Wealthy Province Joins the
Revolt Against the Dictator.
LONDON, Nov. 14-There is no
longer doubt that Brazil is in the
throes Of a civil war, and that most
serious uprisings Of troops and citizens
against the authority of Marshal da
Fonseca, the dictator, have taken
place. The reports classed as sensa-
tional and unfounded which have been
in circulation here for a week past
and which have increased in gravity
hour by hour, seem not TO have been
exaggerated in the slightest
Important dispatches have been re-
ceived here in spite of the strict censor
ship observed by the dictator's orders
over all telegraph and cable Offices 1t
is true these messages have been of the
briefest nature and in cipher, pur-
posely distorted and changed to deceive
the censors, but enough is known for it
to be stated that according to these dis
patches civil war is raging in Brazil,

FARMERS LEADER: Mr.. Nash in the
last issue Of the News declines to accept
the offer Of a forfeit of $1OO, as to wheth-
er his statements in the News are false
in many particulars or not, and calls me
a common gambler for Offering to prove
him liar or forfeit s1OO for the expert
ence. Now letus see what other way is
there possible to show to the public who
is falsifying, msreprescnting and insinu-
ating. Nash says it is so, I say it is not

contradiction could continue week after

sided alteration and convince the public,
I offered to prove before committee that
said articles are false in many particulars
and for this offer as proof of who is
correct he calls me a common gambler;
and in the same article he insinuates that
the books of the company have been
changed and that it is just possible can
prove "by the books" anything; and he is
not willing to bet that I cannot. Well,
you know that old saying that ''it takes
thief to catch a thief" and he that is
suspicious Of others is himself at fault,
will probably in this case hold good; but
to continue, I would say that in order TO
prove Nash (or those articles) liar or
forfeit 500, i will in no case use the re-
cords of The LEADER Company. have

A Worthing Correspondent Tells us a Few Things
About Political Action. e.
1T is amusing to read how the old par
ties are kicking about the new party 1t
seems it worries them badly and they are
bowling democrat scheme, but this will
make no difference, the people have had
all they want of the old parties and their
is today nothing that will turn them.
Capital and'labor is to a great extent to
be considered and there are today thou
sands of people working simply for their
board only. We cannot see why we cam
not rule as a people and shut out this
moneyed power squeezing the life out of
the working classes.
Farmers are taxed to death today for
the purpose of supporting the poor In
dians and building public buildings
to hold one government official We say
economy is our motto, not get above our
means. They have resolved to run this
government on more of an equal basis for
all the people, not for the good of a few.
Only more money, and better times finan-
cially all around is our text. We believe
in free open government to all our people;
this has been trample6 upon and over
looked this many years. But today the
people have woke up to their situations.
Reading the Sioux Falls Daily Press
of Sunday was astonished to see therein
printed as follows:
"Any man or woman not being sus-
pected of being a spy can today walk in
to score of places in Sioux Falls and buy
Intoxicating Liquor without pretense of
consealmeAt and there are still other places
where some slyness has to be observed in
getting drink and in some of the places
not only men and women can get liquor,
but children can get it too"
What then has been the net result of
all the labor that has been put forth for
the enforcement of the prohibitory law?
Boasts of this! Liquor for men, women
and children sold right in the face OF the
law. 1t would look to any good law abid-
ing citizen that there must be a great
many living at the above place who are
not law abiding citizens or they. instead
of boasting of those hell holes, would see
they were hoisted out of the city.
