The equal right of all men to the use

The equal right of all men to the use
of land is as clear as their equal right
to breathe the ART is a right pro-
claimed by the fact of their existence.

others no right.-Frogress and Pow

Weakness,


There Is no symptom of Ill health more
discouraging than weakness. That con-
slant feeling Of fatigue and disinclination
70 exert oneself. Life to such seems languid
aud insipid. and the invalid almost becomes
reconciled to die. Do you suffer thus !
Would you DO enthusedi Do you wish your
Sarsaparila. It will greatly assist your
recovery. Soon will you then experience .
feeling Of new life and returning power.
tiSue and cause your heart to palpitate UNI
naturally. No more will that feeling of diz-
siness Cypress you when you suddenly get
,p from your chair. No longer will indi-
break down your constitution. Every func.
ton will resume its natural activity and
you will soon enjoy Q glorious feeling OF
GUS, afraid and imaginative Of gloomy dis
aster. Ambition will take the place Of dis
couragemept and YOU will be happy In

ant farmers, like doctors, will pay the
same ground tax that they do now, ex-
cept as it falls in consequence of the fall
of land values. and that what they pay
will find its way into the public treasury
instead of settling, as it does now, in
| the Golfers of landlords.
And why does not the Kansas editor
classify mortgaged farmers with doc
| tors. lawyers and merchants? The
mortgaged farmer is to the extent of his
mortgage, a tenant farmer.
That the whole burden OF taxation
will be thrown upon farm owners and
home owners is false upon the face of
it How about mine owners? How
about factory owners? How about
store owners? How about water front
owners? How about the owners of va
| cant lots?
The burden of taxation that house
owners will have to bear will depend
upon the value of the land upon which
their homes are built. If they build on
the most desirable land in the commun-
ity-as poor home owners never do, by
j the way-they will have a high tax TO
pay; if they build on the least desirable
land in the communities poor home
owners are now compelled to do-they
will have little or no tax to pay; and
according to the desireableness of the
land upon which they build, from the
least to the most desirable, so will
their taxes be graduated. If they adorn
their grounds, embellish their houses,
enlarge their living accommodations, OF
otherwise improve their homes, their
taxes will be no more than if they let
their homes run down to the level OF
pig sites.
Which is better for the home owner
Ito be taxed on every improvement he
makes as he is now, or TO be taxed only
for the special privilege by way of loca-
ton that he enjoys and to be left free
to improve to the extent of his desirei
The burden of taxation that farmers

GOVERNMENT VS. CORPORATION
OWNERSHIP.

Otto Anderson, OF Rockerville, while a
genuine independent kicker, is also Il No.
l and fairly successful farmer, as success
goes in these days. We called at his
ranch lately and although hail and
drouth had cut his grain short he has
some six hundred bushels OF potatoes
and loads OF roots and cabbagges. Mr..
Anderson and his estemable wife make
a specially OF butter and when one sees
their stock and understands the care
they get he is not surprised that no
buttergoes for less than twenty cents and
oitcner at twenty-five. Atpresent they
are fed on Gull cabbages. As these dis
appear the rutabagas and sugar beets
will come in play, to be followed by the
10 acres OF shocked corn which he pro-
poses to cut and steam before feeding.
Besides the quantity sold all summer.
Mrs. Anderson has some 400 lbs OF
packed June butter. But we have
strayed from our subject. The butter
retailed is put up in nice shape, each pad
weighing exactly a pound and being
wrapped in the prepared butter paper.
Recently Mr.. Anderson sent to Phil.

L FARMERS I

TITS strange how anxious all
office seekers Of to day are
to poise as farmers. Look over
your republican and democratic jour
nails and you may learn that
Woods and Jolley are both honest
farmers. We are pleased that farmer
candidates are above par, but strip of
their new jeans and harvest gloves and
see if there are marks OF honest toll.
Are they straight goods or farmers on
the side? If they are rich III the worlds
goods have they been earned by honest
toll or through speculation on the capl.
tai OF friends? Have they with then
families endured the hardships OF actual
farm life, or resided in brown stone
fronts and played at farming with
money earned through their banks at is
per cent or through the extortionate
rates Of the legal profession. The peo-
pie have learned through their expe-
rience in the old parties, that a man
must be educated through adversely, to
realize the wants OF the people. The de-
mands OF the independent convention
was for a genuine farmer and they found
him in GARNER Smith," No shams in
the new party. :

Points by Dennis.
The Independent Canadian was raj

The Independent Canadian was rank
poison last year. This year a canuck is
yum, yum, yum.
Ii the British government should take
it in their heads that the political supre-
mary OF United States would add to the
glory OF old England and demand as Il
right the appointment Of our President,
there is not a man between the Atlantic
and the Pacific who would not shed his
blood to resist. But when the few Jews
in Lombard and Threadneedle street,
who control the worlds gold, name two
men for us to choose amongst, we will en-
gage in bitter and disgraceful strife to
elect the mar who bears our label while
the plutos stand behind the scenes laugh
ing at our folly, saying: "Goltyoufools,
it is heads VT win, tails, you loose"
The republicans used to claim that
British gold has been used in Jul cleo
tions. Quite right SO it has. One-half
million to get the greenbacks burned up,
and one-half million to get silver demon
itlzed, cheap as dirt.
If the present condition continues for
the next ten years there will be only two
classes in the United States. The very
rich and the very poor. Which class are
you likely to belong to?
God helps those who help themselves.

WHAT Is IT2

The republican party can come nearer
carrying water on both shoulders, or to
speak the truth, water on one shoulder
and whiskey on the other than n
party extant. One year ago prohibit
tionlsts worked side by side in the re-
publican primaries with saloon men and
voted together at the polls. Candidates
OF that party for prominent positions,
treated, drank and made promises with
the liquor element and hobnobbed with
church people, lawyers and doctors Civ
ing them promises also. We give them
credit for carrying both points, not a
II drop OF either liquid was spilled.
Through the republican party prohi-
Dition became the law OF the state and
through republican officers it hasbecome
a farce. The last republican convention
refused to name prohibition. They dare
not. But IL prohibitionist was nomi-
mated for congress. Great are the tao
ticS of the G., o, P's.

In every county and in every school

speakers are educating the voters INTO
the new economic theories and forward
ing the new revolution Of 1892, which
though peaceful, will change the face OF
the earth as completely as did the bloody
French revolution OF 1882. The guillo-
tine then taught that the heads. of kings
and queens were as easily clipped as the
heads Of the serfs, and that the blood OF
the alistocrats was as cheap as the
blood Of the Canaille. This was a start
ling doctrine then. Our guillotine is the

REPUBLICAN

The s~ub-treasury party of Montague
county, Texas, should certainly be
awarded the prize for visionary schemes
for obtaining aid in financial difficulties.
1t demands through resolutions to con-
sress, that that body shall pass a bill
to provide that any person who owes
more money than he can pay andmakes
affidavit to that effect shall receive from
the secretary OF the interior sufficient
money to pay all debts. Any person
owing nothing but who wants more
money than he has a good chance OF OBJ
tanning, because OF the present prevailing
financial system OF robbery and oppres-
SION, may make application to the. sec
rotary, who shall refer the matter to an
advisory board to fix the amount to
be advanced. In no case shall he receive
less than three-QuarterS OF the sum
applied for, nor be charged d higher IN
terest than he is willing to pay. In case
OF the failure to repay the loan the bor-
over shall not receive more than fifty
per cent on the next application. Any
nan making Misrepresentation shall be
deharred from borrowing more than
twice.-Rapid City Journal.
There are two classes of republican
Journals. The one originate lies and
the other assidiously copies them. OF
the two the former class are entitled to
the most respect for they certainly show
Ingenuity in the variety and quality Of
their fa%lsehoods, while the second class
are entirely lacking IN horse sense and
show only the qualities OF an ape. We
do not believe that the aboye scheme
ever animated from an alliance circle,
but il it did twould prove nothing.
The alliance like all parties haye vision
aries and some OF their inconsistencies
may occasionally be allowed to lip by
the cooler heads, but far oftener they
are manufactured by the enemy from
whole cloth.
The s~ub-treasury bill was introduced
in congress by congressman Picker. It
is very similar to the plan used in
France, after her war with Prussia and
was one Of the main means OF paying
off her debt so rapidly. The best think
ers OF our day have been the most
lenient critics OF the bill and It's bitterest
enemies are those who are direct bene-
ficiares OF our present financial system.
1t is agreed on all hands that more
money is needed, the difference OF opinion
is on the bases on which it shall beissued
and the manner OF getting it to the
people. The sub-treasury bill and the
land loan bull are the independent plans
for reaching the people. Not fiatm money,
but money based on actual value. Not
issued through high priced agents, ma
tional banks" but direct to the borrow
er. The independents can see why the
money class should oppose them, they
can bear with patience the slow move
ments OF professional and salried men,
but when business men, saddled and
shacllled with their burden OF debt and
newspapers plastered with Obligations,
whose yearly interest exceeds their net
income, kick at and obstruot the masses
mtheirhonest efforts for reform, patience
ceases to be a virtue. A little more turn
ing of the thumb screw is the only
remedy for such as them.
