Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1891-11-24
class legislation, and unconstitu-

The foregoing is only glimmer-
ing skeleton of the picture of the
two old animals that are now and
have been drawing the wagon of
administration and legislation in
this country for the past twenty
five years. We may call one Of
these animals Shylock's traffic, and
the other we may call liquors traf-
fc. These are the two animals that
the farmers and every branch of
honest labor have been feeding all
these years with their Republican
and Democratic ballots. These are
the two animals that have drawn
the load of Legislation that has par
alyzed every branch of honest
labor and Legitimate business in this
country. These are the animals
that have been kicking sand in the
eyes of honest labor all these years
to keep it from seeing where they
were drawing it to. These are the
animals that are now standing In
Wall street, London and govern
ment liquor store house stalls,
snorting and kicking up their heels.
These are the animals that, unless
they are speedily curbed, will final
ly draw the homes of honest labor
from it, and eventually smash our
ship of state. The great living
question or issue now before the
great masses Of honest laboring
people of this civilized country is,
Shall, or shall not, these animals be
curbed? The Republican party
comes up, saying, "No. Hands off.
Don't undertake to curb them. If
we do, they will kick all our stuf1ing
into the Democsat party" Up
comes the Democrat party yelling,
"No sumptuary laws. No Doodle re-
striction. No curbing, Our sue
cess all depends on their being let
alone" Some leaders of the prohi-
bition party say, Deal gently with
Shylock. He's pretty good kind
of an animal. It's the liquor traffic
that's to blame. By all means let
us curb the liquor traffic" To this
Shylock pricks up his ears, as much
as to say, that's right; just curb,
as long as you don't curb me. Ii
quor traffic and will pull along the
same as ever. J."
Now, then, the only remedy for
the laboring masses is for them and
their friends to unite, and never
cease voting until they have cap
tured the wagon of legislation.
When this is done, they can then
place a curb-bit in the jaws of these
animals, that will be strong enough
to curb and control them in every
respect. When the machinery that
is now used for robbing the people

United States congressman too full

We 90 to the committee rooms,
and there we see Hobbies of Repub-
lican and Democrat lawyers. We
ask them what general Legislation
they are seeking to procure They
will tell us it is not general legisla-
ton they are looking after. Well,
what special Legislation is it that
you wish to procure? Well, one
lobby or delegation will tell us that
they are there from Wall Street and
London, for the purpose of obtain
ing special legislation in the inter-
est of the great gold and money
industry of Wall street and London.
Another lobby will tell us that they
are there from the whisky and beer
associations of the United States,
looking after special legislation in
the interest of the great liquor in
dustrics of North America. These
being the only Hobbies we can see
in and around that congress, we
now ask Mr.. Millionaire Liquor Deal
er, president of the senate, or the
car of the house, why it is there is
no lobby or delegation there look
ing after the interests Of the women
and children also after the inter-
ests of the farmers and other labor
ing classes of the United States?
To this question we are answered
thusly: The women and children's
place is in the house and kitchen.
It's the duty of the women to do
the drudgery and take care of the
children make shirts and trousers
for such plutocratic dealers as John
Wanamaker, at starvation prices,
or starve. Any act of Legislation
that would raise them to a higher
position than this, or place their po-
litical rights on an equal to that of
the men, would be class legislation,
and unconstitutional" It's the
duty Of the farmer to keep out of
politics, borrow money from Shy
lock at high rates Of interest, and
no less, stay on the farm, pillow, dig
and sweat; sell his products to the
organized combines at their price
and no more pay the railroads all
the freight they may see fit to exact,
and no less vote the old party
ticket straight every time, and no
other; if he does he must be called
an anarchist, and nothing else. Any
Legislation that would elevate his
condition or place his rights on an
equal to that of the money chang
ers and liquor vendors would be
class legislation and unconstitution-
al. It's the duty of all laborers to
keep out of politics work for just
what wages they can get, and no
more. It's their duty to patronize
the money changer and let him have

THE FRUIT CROP.

If the teleHraphic advices from portions
Of New York, Massachusetts, Ohio,
Georgia, Connecticut, Indiana, Illinois,
Texas, Arkansas and Delaware can be re-
lied on, there won't be fruit enough in
those states this year to keep the birds
from going hungry for real fresh fruit.
This is to be regretted, of course, but after
all it's Fan ill wind" etc., and the west
will be largely the gamer thereby. At
the present writing all danger seems past
for any sort Of injury to the fruit products
of the west. The crop, as q rule, and
covering all varieties Of horticultural
products indigenous to the temperate
zone, promises to be enormous. We are
pleased to note also that New Mexico is
particularly fortunate in this respect, hav-
ing great many new orchards coming
into bearing this year for the first time,
and from these extensive shipments will
be made covering the whole season from
June to December. The outlook is GER
tainly an excellent one and ought to still
further encourage our people to lose no
time in getting at least fair share of
their irrigable lands into improved fruits
of all kinds.

AS TO THE NEW MEXICAN,

1t is scarcely necessary to say it 80 far
as the average New Mexico resident is
concerned, but simply for the benefit of
few croakers, sore.heads, and such
like, we desire 10 remark that whom
ever it comes to serving the best interests
of New Mexico and advocating measures
calculated to bring the greatest good to the
greatest number of our citizens, then and
there this journal Is found laboring. No
"pent-up Utica" in ours. We are Of, for
and with all New Mexico something be-
yond the mere local newspaper, for when
ever and wherever the New MEXICAN can
say good word for any part of Now Mex
leo it is always more than glad to take
advantage Of the opportunity to do so.
We believe in New Mexico. We have
faith in her people, and consider the day
not far distant when here must be erected
one of the star states in the sisterhood.
We leave it to the small fry to snap and
snarl and growl and vent their petty
spites and local joalousies. They are
welcome to a monopoly in this line of
journalism. Ours is a broader and nobler
mission. The upbuilding of all New
Mexico's manifold elements of wealth is

PULLMAN'S BACK TRACK.

The supreme court decisions regarding
the tax on the Pullman palace cars, it ia
said, will enable the states through which
the cars run to both assess taxes in the
future and to collect back taxes. Now
here's picnic. The states that have
been so long trying to play even with this
most soulless of all soulless corporations
ought not to be long in finding out posi-
lively whether or not they have right to
collect the back taxes referred to. We
believe they have. We do not see why
such an outfit should claim special privi-

Flood Sufferers.


Reports from New Mexico continue to
tell of damages and destruction by the
Rio Grande floods. They tell of thous-
ands of poor people whose little crops
have been destroyed, whose homes have
been washed away, who are left without
food, and who, unless help is given them,
will soon be hungry.
The disaster has come upon the people
of New Mexico at a time when prompt
relief to the suffering can be afforded by
neither the territorial nor national legis-
iBlatures. Public assistance can come
only from the counties. And the number
Of destitute reported is so great in some
instances, that the resources of the coun-
ties are hardly adequate to their relief.
Private charity will likely be needed to
supplement the public aid. Ifthis should
prove to be 80, organized movements will
likely be started in New Mexico for this
purpose.
The Catholic church. the great power
in organized charity, is the strong church
in the territory to the south of us. 1t
probably numbers among its members the
majority of the sufferers by the flood.
Therefore if there be need of extended
charitable effort to save from cruel want,
that church will doubtless undertake the
work. If it should do 80, its appeals
should meet with prompt and generous
response from all the people, not of New
Mexico alone, but Of Colorado also. Char
ity knows neither sect nor creed, nor state
nor sectional lines.-Denver Sun.

LUMBER IN VALENCIA,

TIE lumber industry in Western Va

Michigan lumbermen have bought up
great tracts of timber land in that

there at an early date. The pine timber
in that part of New Mexico is a very
superior article. AS time rolls on, the
vast and magnificent natural resources of
New Mexico will be utilized and popula-
ton and wealth will increase accord

vouchsafes to the private property holder.
For many of the states these back taxes
would prove financial plum second only
to the refunding of the war tax, and New
Mexico would come in for right nice
slice OF such delinquent taxes. Let's
have the question fully tested.

Protect the People Along the Rio Grands
The suggestion of the New MEXICAN
that congress be asked to, in the future
appropriate money to assist in keeping
the Rio Grande within it's banks by the
construction of levees and break-waters
and thus avert the damage which results
from an overflow like the one We are al
present experiencing, is an excellent one
and should be agitsted by the citizens and
newspapers Of the Rio Grande valley
both in New Mexico and Texas. The
suggestion receives our hearty indorse-
ment and We would earnestly recommend
that the subject be kept constantly In
mind, and when congress sits again,
it be brought before that body.
We certainly hsve-though but terri.
tory-as much right to ask aid in pro-
tecting our lives and property from food
as have people in the Mississippi valley.
More good could be accomplished by
building levees along the Rio Grande
than by the numberless attempts made
