WHAT rs THE MATTERS

The friends of the editor of the
Lawrence Journal should at once
make inquiry respecting his physical
health and mental condition. There
is something wrong. We are unable
to discover in his Sunday edition any
reference to Mrs. Leases mouth,
Jerry Simpsons feet or Senator PEI
fer's beard. Such reckless neglect of
the most vital questions engaging the
attention Of the Republican press is
perilous to the party. Due attention
to these important subjects imposes
too severe a tax upon the gray matter
of one single brain. This man should
have help. The Journal and the En-
poris Republican should consolidate
in order to concentrate their gigantic
intellectual efforts upon these ques-
tions. The interests of the Repub-
lican party should not be permitted
to suffer by such criminal neglect.

ments TO coin money of any kind Of
msterial, ,and that such money had in
vsrisbly been q success. We distinct
ly stated that Mill was an advocate
of metallic money, and that, because
Of this fact, his testimony respecting
the value and the success of fiat
money is all the more valuable to us.
If the Capital is satisfied to close the
case with these "few final remarks"
most certainly The ADVOCATE has no
reason to complain of the present
status Of the discussion. We desire
to say, however, that we had only
made a fair commencement with our
authorities upon this question. The
people will form their own Judgment
from the facts already given, and
whether the Capital has anything
more to say or not, we shall occa-
sionslly add to the testimony already
given. Let the Capital relapse into
it's more congenisl method Of ridicule,
abuse and classification. This is the
kind Of argument it says will win or
nothing will.
The advocate., 1891-07-15
IS 1T IGNORANCE OR DEPRAvITY ?

The Emporis Republican quotes
from the GlObe-Democrat without
comment and therefore, with ap-
proval, the statement that the land
currency favored by the Peoples
party is "similar to that largely in
use in Argentine" Such statements
indicate an ignorance more dense
than the darkness of Egypt; or will
full perversion of fact indicative of to-
tai depravity. There is not a dollar
of any kind of money in the Argen-
tine Republic that bears any resem-
blance TO that demanded by the Peo-
ple's party, nor has there ever been
one. If these organs of plutocracy
are ignorant of this fact they might
relieve themselves of the suspicion
that they are malicious liars by simply
confessing their ignorance and re-
naming silent upon questions con-
cerning which they know nothing.

SENATOR PEFFER'S REPLY TO HIS ASSAIL-
ANTS.


The Kansas Farmer Of July 9Th
has an able editorial by Senator PEI
fer in which he reviews the criticisms
Of his Cooper Institute speech by the
plutocratic press in general, and the
Topeka Capital in particular, in a
way that will be intensely interesting
to the people, if not to those servile
tools of the money power. The Sem
ator's array of facts and the logic of
his arguments are absolutely unsn-
answerable, and no attempt has been,
or will ever be made to answer them
except by misrepresentation and in
vective. His mortgage statistics are
based upon authority which he will,
as he says, make known at the proper
time, and it will be of q character
that even the Republican press will
not dare to dispute.
The Capital devotes some space to
this subject by quoting from certain
editorials written by Senator PETER
when he was upon the editorial staff
of the Capital, in which the figures
given do not coincide with those
which the Senator now presents. The
Capital, as usual, entirely ignores the
Senator's statement respecting this
difference He distinctly states that
the figure he then gave were based
upon estimates the most reliable that
he could then obtain; while those he
now presents are based upon far diff
ferent data. The difference between
Senator PETER and the Capital is
that the Senator has learned a good
many things sinceh he severed his con-
nection with that journal, while the
Capital never learns anything.

DIR CITY COUNCIL.

If the Capital were to be relied
upon in anything, giving the city
printing to the Democrat would be a
good thing for the people in more
ways than one. 1t now appears,
from its statements, that we have a
very corrupt city council. AS long
as the Capital "stood in" with the
gang it was all right but now that
it is no longer to share in the "swsg,"
great exposures are being made. For
tunately the Capitals too we'll known
for its statements to seriously affect
the reputation of the council?

THE CONDITION OF KANSAS.

That the condition of Kansas Is grossly mis-
represented in the east by PETER and his calaml
ty gang, no one who Is cOnVersant with the facts
will dispute. But that things will soon be as
bad here as they are painted unless these
mallgners are headed off, Is another fact that is
apparent to all.-LdlVrenCe Journal.
In the issue of the Kansas Farmer
of July 8, Senator PETER reviews his
critics and presents an array of Off
cial statistics that are absolutely un-
answerable in support Of the state
ments he has made. This is all dis
posed of in the above seven-line
paragraph. This is fair sample Of
Republican argument. 1t consists Of
unsupported assertion and personal
abuse of all who have the temerity to
oppose the grand old party.

THE CAPITALS "FEW FINAL REMARKS
ABOUT MONEY"

The ADvoeATE's array of suthori-
ties upon the money question is too
formidable for the Capital. It indi-
Gates in it's headlines ia the issue Of the
10th inst. the termination of this it's
first and probably final effort at any
thing bearing the semblance OF argu-
ment upon any of the issues of the
day. We had little hope when this
first attempt was made that it would
endure. 1t is not congenial method
Of campaigning in the Capital Office,
and is one with which the editor is
not at all familiar.
The authorities quoted by THE AD-
vooATE are entirely ignored in these
Sew final remarks" and the Capital
proceeds to quote paragraph from
Milps argument in favor of metallic
money, forgetting that Mill himself
had entirely destroyed the force of
his own argument by his admission

A FEW QUESTIONS.

To those who favor fusion OF the
Democratic and Peoples parties we
propose the following questions:
Is the Democratic party in favor
OF the abolition of national banks
Of the entire control of the issue oi
currency by the government!
Of making every dollar of that is
sue a legal tender for all debts, pub
lie and private, including the pay
ment of government bonds?
OF increasing the volume of that
currency sufficiently for the transac-
tion of the business OF the country
upon cash basis?
OF the loan Of this money by the
government directly to the people at
a low rate of interests
Of the prohibition Of alien owner
ship of American lands, and the res
toration of such lands, and lands
held by railroads above their actual
needs to the public domain, subject
to homestead entry?
OF the free and unlimited coinage
Of silver?
OF the graduated income tax?
Of the demand that taxstion-na-
tionsl, state or municipal-shall NOT
be used to build up one interest OF
class at the expense of another?
OF government control or owner
ship of means of transportation and
communication?
OF the election of president, vice
president and United States Senators
by direct vote OF the peoplei
Ola service pension to every United
States soldier?
Of the payment to every soldier OF
his legal heirs the difference between
the money in which he was paid while
in the service and the money paid tc
bankers and bond-holders?
Of making eight hours q legal
days work fer all government, state
and municipal employees, and labor
ers in the employ of all corporations
in the several states Of the unionY
How many of these demands vii
the Democratic party assent to? vii
it assent to a single one Of them in it
full scope and meaning3 If not
upon what principle can fusion
be proposed? Evidently upon th'
principle of a division of the spoils
and upon no other. Against such
proposition THE ADVOCATE protests.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF The CITY.
ERIpLExDEE's DEFENSE.

As long as the principal interest
Democracy has ia Fridlender IS
summed up IN MS vote on the floor OF
the Senate; a. long as that party vio-
lated custom, rule, law and constitu-
ton To secure that vote; and as long as
that vote counts one. whether coming
from . felon or - respectable man.
why should the Democracy invent
fimsy defenscs for the bigamist, Isn't
il enough TO shield him from arrest
and TO turn the Leutenant-Goyernor' 8
room into an asylum OF refuge for
criminals? IL would seem to be about
o. much, IL not more than the decent
part of the Democracy would endure.
But defense, or rather miserable ex-
cuse, has been invented for Frdlender.
1t 10 claimed that he married his sec
-ond wife innocently. supposing his first
one TO be dead. Did he? What reason
had he for supposIng her dead!
IL 10 tritely said that one readily be-
lieves what one hopes or fears. He
hoped she were dead and took rumor
to confirm his belief. Did he ever visit
his old home to ascertain? Did he
ever inquire of her relatives and friends
and stand by the grave OF his first wife
TO be sure that she was dead and
buried? Did he ever look for the son
that he had no reason to suppose was
dead, to learn from him of MS mothers
death and TO care for that motherless
boy rs father should have done? No;
On the other hand he basely deserted
him and kept away from his old home.
A. least no claim has yet been made
that he did otherwise and, if there had
been any foundation for such claim,
the Democracy would have been glad
70 advance il.
DID Fridlencer ever inform his pres
emit wife, that hc had ever contracted
any other marital relation prior to his
marriage with her? Did he tell her
that he had never been divorced from
vic A0fAutf Wac ous hu1t no Tau HC1fu
rumor of her death? Did he give his
second wife an opportunity to clear her
title to him, before che accepted him9
Did be IN any way do the honorable
thing by her. whom be purposed to
make the mother OF his children? Did
he inform her that. somewhere in the
north woods, he had half-breed SON.
It doesn's so appear anywhere in the
Democratic defense advanced for him
and, doubtless, Is not a fact He
treated bis second wife and second
children as basely as the first.
The Democracy would do better 10
accept the benefit Of Fridlender's stolen
vote IN silence. Their silence, under
the circumstances. might be graceful
but their speech has become utterly
disgra.eful.
