THE Stanford proposition is for the
government to lend paper dollars on real
estate, but as many thousands who want
money have no real estate. it was advo-
Gated that the government loan money
on any 'imperishable" property. This
concession left out a large class who
want money but have neither real estate,
imperishable property nor any other
semblance of security. They want money
the worst kind; SO the latest suggestion
is that the government loan money to
those who have no security whatever.
A yet better plan is for the government
to furnish to every man who will apply
a small printing press, a set of plates
for notes, a can of ink and a ream of
paper, to the end that every one may
turn out currency as he needs. Then
the volume of currency will adjust itself
to the wants of the community. Then
when a man goes to market he can take
his printing establishment and then and
there print, off hand, whatever bills are
necessary to pay for what he gets.

RECKLESS DISCREPANCIES.

The course of the leaders of the Peo-
ple's or Alliance party in Kansas is at
tracing much attention. And well it
may, since it is something unique in
American politics. Before the Legisla-
ture assembled the leaders, most of
whom are not members of hat body,
and some of whom are not residents of
the State, met and in secret conclave
outlined the policy to be pursued. In
such a secret conclave it was decided to
unseat several Republican members of
the House who had a clear majority of
votes and for whose seats there would
have been no contest but for these out
side intriguers, who are not farmers in
any literal sense. That House has
obeyed the dictates of the star chamber.
All the offices have been farmed out by
the same outside influence. Before the
Legislature assembled the leaders, who
are mainly the accumulation of
cutters from both parties for years, the
fiat-money, repudiatioEists. and other
reformers with lop-sided or r1ckety
intellects, feared that they could not
trust the men elected to the Legis-
lature because they did not trust
each other, so they made arrange
ments to have three men take charge
of each member, be with him every hour,
watch over him while asleep, and pre-
rent him from speaking with any person
whom they might suspect. The like of
that has never before been seen in this
country, and there is reason to believe
that it will not occur again, because such
a system of espionage upon legislators
is not in harmony with the American
idea. 1t is fortunate for Kansas that the
Senate and executive are Republican,
for If such were not the case such radi-
cal measures would become laws as
would ruin private credit in that State
and result in the practical destruction of
millions of dollars worth of property
invested by non-residents. Following
the dictates of the Southern leadership
of the Alliance, the Kansas political
Alliance indorses all its schemes, snch

The attempt on the part of Democrats
to deny the responsibility of their party
for the State debt is a piece of charac-
t~eristic impudence. There has been no
time for fifteen years past when every
person familiar with the origin and his
tory of the debt has not known where
the responsibility rests. General Harri-
son, in his opening speech of the guber-
Material campaign of 1876, delivered at
Danville, Aug. 10 of that year, said:
You Will recollect that In 1871 the De-
mocracy In this State reduced the State tax
fort They knew perfectly well that that
tax would be inadequate to defray the Or
binary expenses of the State, and before
the year was out. as the result of their ac-
tion, the State was borrowing money to
meet her current expenses. just as We had
told them beforehand. They did that
thing on the eve of an election, and they
did it simply that they might 60 before the
country with the shallow pretense of re-
form. The whole revenue of the State at
that rate of taxation was not more than
S43. 900 above the amount required to de-
fray the current eyp enses of the benevo-
lent institutions nlone, to say nothing of
the other expenses Of theS State government.
That was the beginning of the policy
of borrowing and debt-making, making
appropriations from an empty treasury
and borrowing money to pay current ex-
penses. 1t had its origin in Democratic
demagOgy and incompetence, and to
these the entire debt of Indiana is owing

LATEST statistics show that the pro-

larger than that of Great Britain i'm 1882,
