Powerful Arguments.

From an editorial in the Alliance
Tribune of last week we GILL the fol-
lowing refined epithets, which it
applies TO the republican party and its
leaders: "Republican blatherskites, +"
"party of corruption, @cOundrelism and
rascality," disgrace to the judicial
BENCH" Funston, an old ass" sin
fernal rOttenness, cool, calculating
villainy of its leaders WHO not only rob
and steal, but would commit murder, "
dastsrdly whelps and contemplate
scoundrels, +" "rotten leaders," 'pimps
of perdition, ''Old warts" ''cOntemp-
tible and loathsome," "pothouse poll
ticians," political warts" towards
and poltroons," "underhandedly and
sneskingly using the governU ent to
coerce, :" 1.-THE qHintessence of pusillan-
unity and meanness," rantiDg hypO-
critics." roaring blatherskites," 'old
ring warts" contemplate lot of
hypocrites," 'rotten hides" ''Old
political buns, ''old scabs."
All this is very argumentative and
shows a thorough familiarity with
billingsgate, which is highly commend
able. 1t is just the kind of logic that
ought to be freely distributed among
the refined and intelligent farming
population of the state. 1t is at once
convincing and instructive. 1t is fit
accompaniment to the advocacy which
that paper gives to the subtreasury,
the land loan and the government
ownership of railroad schemes. There
is an "eternal fitness in things" after

buyer is profted by lessened outlay
In 1880 the proc uction of American
iron ore was 1920, 1852 long tons OF
2, $40 pounds each. In that year the
average yearly income of the working
miner was $SO6. 40 and the average
price per long ton was 1925.
In 1889 the output was 4,51S, 041
long tons, the average income OF
the working miner was $409.95, and
the average price to the consumer was
$3.50 per long ton.
The value of the output Of ore in
1889 was $50, S5l 1913; the amount paid
as wages was $14, 409,l51. Thus
much more than one third and not
very much less than one half OF the
the gross receipts for all the iron ore
Of the United States went into the
hands and pockets of the laborers.
The capital invested in the produc-
ton of iron ore in the year 1889 was
SI09, 766, 199. The gross receipts fog
this investment were, as we have seen,
$50, s51 ,97s Of which sl4, 400, 157 was

friends of Mills claim that he is the
only dyed-in-the-wool tariff refoTmer in
the race and that Mr.. Crisp, his prinei-
pal opponent, represents the protective
element Of the party. The st, Louis
Republic, the selfconstituted champion
of Mr.. Mills, says:
1.-THE New York Sun is commander
inchief of the Crisp forces. 1t is
assisted by Arthur 2. German, of
Maryland, David B. Hill Of New York.
the Atlanta Constitution, the Augusta
Chronicle and all the other organs and
advocates Of high protective tariff
from one end Of the Uuited States to
the other. Mr.. German is not willing
that the tax on coal and iron, in which
he is interested, should be wiped out.
He voted against putting coal on the
free list in the Fiftieth congress, when
the Mills bill was under discussion in
the senate. Governor Hill of New
York is practically in the same posi-
ton. He knows nothing about the
tariff and does not care much except
that his leanings are toward protec-
tive duty.
German, while striving to keep
abreast of his party, because he is well
aware that if he does not keep up he
will be overlooked, is using all the arts
of which he is master to keep the tariff
question from being fairly aud
squarely handled. He is afraid of free
coal and free IRON"
These two factions are saying some
very mean things of each other. The
free traders who are supporting Mr..
Mills have the merit of being more
nearly honest in their convictions than
the Crisp following. Mr.. Mills is an
outspoken free trader and also a
thorough believer 10 dishonest money,

up uuder the fostering care of protec-
ton in his own state, in Alabama,
and other southern democratic COM
munities, pretends to be in favor of
protecting these industries. Whatever
the result may be, the democrats have
prepared themselves for a successful
"straddlen in 1892. If free trade Mills
is elected speaker, protection Crisp will
be chairman of the ways and means
committee. If protection Crisp is
elected speaker, free trade Mills will
be chairman of the ways and means
committee. There is likely to be the
same harmony existing in the 5lst con-
gress among our democratic brethren
that prevailed in the 50th, when pro
lection Randall was speaker and the
free traders controlled legislation. By
the time the campaign is thoroughly
on next summer, the party will be
bOpelessIy divided upon the tariff as
we'll as the silver issue, and the only
issue upon which democrats will be
able to maintain perfect harmony viii

Poor White Trash.

In a lengthy Washington interview,
published IN full in the Buffalo IN, Y. !
Express of last Sunday and various
other papers, Jerry Simpson said OF
the Kansas democrats:
The only farmers in Kansas with
whom such an argument would be OF
weight might ba some of the demo
cratic farmers who came from the
south to that state and who form the
democratic party today. They are
from the poor white trash who were
sent to Kansas by the rich planters in
order that their votes might perpetuatt
slavery. They moved to Kansas fol
the rewards of politics and they are oil
the same character today as they wert
then. The democrats of Kansas are
buccaneers as far as politics are con,
cerned. They would join with any
party that would give them a taste Of
the Offices.
The democrats of Kansas will bt
considerably meeker than Moses il
they give any aid or sustenance to the
alliance party next year.

McGrath's Sentim ent.

Frank McGrath, the ex-president OF
the Kansas state alliance, was at WITCH.
ia Friday and was interviewed by the
Eagle of that city. In speaking OF
talliance matters he said: 'The
trength of the alliance has largely
fsllen OF, there is no use to deny tia
fact. 1t has drifted into the hands Of
few unscrupulOus leaders, the sore
heads from other parties who are try
ing to work the order for selfish
purposes and they are doing it, The
result will be the disruption of the
alliance as a political factor in Kansas.
a few of its leaders are holding on like
grim death trying to work up q fusion
with the democratic party next fall.
AS to their prospects for success in this
matter it is too early to predict at this
time. The great mistake of the ALI
4nce was in going into politics at all.
AS a social factor, pushing for suprem-
acy Of great economic questions, or as
An unknown quantity in politics, the
alliance could have obtained from

Kansas, ALMOST anything in reason. 1
am now, and always have been. opposed
TO the alliance in politics but was
1utnumbered by those fellows who
thought they saw something ahead,
and who were actuated by purely
selfish motives"
This, taken in connection with the
ex- officials statement day or two ago
that his ante-electlon interview in the
Kansas City Journal was correct,
marks Mr.. McGrath as having struck 2
streak Of common sense which other
alliance leaders would do well to emu
Izte.

The Ellsworth College

We notice by the Enterprise Journal
that Miss MintZ has been collecting
money in that town as she has else.
where for the Garfield Memorial col
lege" at Ellsworth, so called. It may
be of interest to our Enterprise friends
as we'll as 10 people elsewhere who are
being victimized by this matter to give
few facts regarding the alleged
college,
At the last meeting of TIE council of
administration of the state G.. A. R.
the subject was discussed. 1t was
asserted that the people of Ellsworth
had long ago abandoned all thought of
completing any college on the plan
proposed and that no money collected
by Miss Mintz had ever been handed
over by her to anyone except herself.
The council ordered the commander
in-chief of the G., A. r. to investigate
the matter and if he found the facts as
reported to issue an order putting a
stop to such contributions. As a result
the following section occurs in the
general order of Commander Mccarthy
issued Wednesday:
The citizens of Ellsworth having
abandoned the project of establishing
and maintaining a Memorial college at
that point, it is recommended that
posts and comrades of this department
do not contribute to this enterprise Cd
the solicitation of Miss L. A. MINIS or
any other person and that no attention
be given to circulars sent to posts with
reference to this matter"
In view of this there should be no
more misunderstanding and those who
contribute any more bard earned
money to the aforesaid cause are
simply wasting it on the person who
solieits it. Abilene was victimized in
a mild way some weeks ago but knows
better now,
