SENATOR HARKNEss TALKS.
He Has Confidence in the Good
Sense of the People.

~NS - N~-S - SNP@S"
Senator F. 2. Hardness, of Clay
Center, spent yesterday and last even
ing IN the city on legal business Mr..
Hardness represents this district in
the state senate aud is one of the lead
ing republicans of the state.
The REFLECTOR representative
found him at the Pacific hotel and in
reply to the usual inquiries he said that
he was growing more confident every
day of the success of the republican
party. The action of the representa-
tives of the peoples party in the last
legislature is receiving considerable
just criticism, and the members of the
house are being constantly called upon
TO make explanations of their conduct.
One of the chief sources of inquiries
and criticisms are from those who went
honestly and cOnscientiously into the
movement upon the belief that the
effort would be made to curtail the
running expenses of the state and
county by reducing the salaries, and
when the bill was defeated by the
Vaccinations of the third house, they
felt they had been uDjnstly treated.
The more conservative element of
the farmers are disguised with the
Kansas representatives who have been
In the east seeking to destroy the
credit and integrity of the state.
When asked if the good crops and
consequent good feeling would not be
an element in eliminating the dissatis-
faction caused by the general> depres-
sion, Senator darkness in no unmis-
taxable teams gave it at his opinion
that the unprecedented crops had done
more than almost anything else to
disabuse the minds of the farmers of
the idea that the hard times was sttri-
butable to any political organization.
The senator thinks that by thorough
organization and argument, good,
sound, logical argument, the republican
party can regain control of the state
this year and be in condition to enter
the battle next year with assurance of
increasing rather than diminishing our
$1,000 majority, But next years battle
will be begun this fall and now is the
time to stand by the party and work
for it.

many anathemas against the acts ano
interests of the American people, but
in a sweet, seductive way, and it is not
surprising now to learn that the edict
has gone forth from that influential
free trade coterie that our Mckinley
must be defeated" We shall see. Let
us retain our composure, for the pro-
nunciamentos of the Golden club are
not infallible.
Many mistakes in dictation, in per-
suasive argument and in lucrative in
ducement have been attempted by this
generous but aggrandizing British body
to make division of interest and enmity
between American capitalists and
American laborers. as British states
men did between the north and the
south before and during our civil war,
and as Satan did and is always doing
between parties whose domestic rela-
tons should and which do require united
action to preserve protective and pros
porous conditions.
Fortunately, there need be no fear
Mckinley will not be defeated! No
power but death can defeat him. No
emissaries, arguments, finances nor any
thing else of the Golden club, or of all
foreign powers combined, can defeat
Mckinley, and while we doubt not the
correctness of the press dispatches on
the authority of Hon. Mr.. Dudley land
most certainly If he says so it is correct)
that the Golden club has appropriated
500, 900 to prevent free and fair ex-
preston of the people of Ohio, we can
retain our composure, for if the amount
is manifolded one hundred times by
foreign interests they can not defeat
Mckinley. He is fighting on principle,
for the protection of American industry
and American prosperity.

soldiers, Wages and Pensions.

The New York Mail and Express has
done good service by compiling tables
that show part of the monetary loss
borne by each private soldier OF the
Union army during the years OF 1862,
1868, 1864, and 1865 In consequence OF
the deprecated value OF the Green
backs in which he was paid. We say
part of the monetary loss, because not
even I'll @ well arranged and carefully
compiled tables of the Mail and Express
can show the whole loss. At the first
soldiers were enlisted on a wage scale OF
Sll per month. Later the rate was in
creased To Sl3 per month, and this rate
was continued until May, 1864, after
whi n it was increased 10 $50. But very
soon afte.' the outbreak OF the war the
average wage of the commonest farm
laborcrs rea he'd 81 per day, or SO per
month of working days. 1t Is we'll with
in bounds TO estimate the wages OF the
soldier throughout the war at not more
than half that OF unskilled labor.
Eut OF loss directly traceable to the
depreciation of greenbacks the Mail and
Express figures that in the year 1862
the soldiers Sl56 in greenbacks, the pay
for twelve months marching aid light
ing, was worth S139 in god. The S156
which he re .cived for his pay in 1888
was wo tn hut Sl06 in gold. The $50
in greenbacks, which was the soldiers
pay for four months at S1} and eight
months at SIC for 1864, was worth less
lhan 800 in gold; and his yearly stipend
Of S192 for 1865 was equivalent TO but
Sl25 of the money in which the bonds
were paid
These figures give emphasis TO Ma or
McKinley's plea that the soldier who
was paid in deprecated paper shall not
suffer additional los by being pensioned
on dep eciated silver.

Three Features of the Mckinley Bill.

IL is amusing to witness the struggle.
OF the free trade organs with thS Nc
Kinley bill The growth of this meas
ure in popu arty is almost as great q
surprise to it, friends as It must have
been 10 its enc enies. Campaign Irices
turned out To b. campaign lies and tho
people are beginning TO realize phases
OF this bill which were almost entirely
overlooked in the campaign last fall.
First came the treaty with Brazil, Illus
tratng the automatic reciprocity feat
ure OF the Mckinley Gill. When the
duty was abolished on sugar, the price
took Il sudden drop Then there is that
clause providing for free importation Of
raw material TO be manufactured into
articles for port giving the Am rlcat
manufacturer equal footing with h!
transatlantic competitors for all forelg
trade. Here we have reciprocity, fr,
su ar and free raw material. Tn
meaning of this is an enormous reduc
tion in the burden of taxation, advant-
ayeou' terms for the admission Of
American goods into foreign markets,
and free raw material out Of which to
manufacture those exports. Besides
absolutely protecting the home market,
the Mckinley bill has thus reduced un
necessary taxation and opened up i'm
portant South American markets to the
products OF our soil, mines, workshops
and mills.
1t has been glorious achievement,
and the people are just awakening to
what has really been ACCOMPLISHED.
Free trade papers are fairy sluirming.
Reciprocity without free trade in Eu-
rope n commodities has no attractions
for them. and free raw material for the
export trade they declare is discrimi-
mating against the home consumer.
Among the important changes brought
about by this bill are Frightening trade
prospects both abroad and at home
New enterprises are being projected,
and prices for staple commodities have
not increased. BY all means let us dis
cuss the Mckinley bill. I he thorough
discussion of the measure in all its bear
ings will make victory easy for the Re
publcans in 1892.

LOOKS LIKE TROUBLE.
Tho Yorktown Ordered To Valparaiso with
the Greatest Possible Dispatch.

the Greatest Possible Dispatch.
Special orders from Washington were
received at the Brooklyn Navy Yard or
dering the United states war ship York
town to sail for Valparaiso with the
greatest possible dispat h.
The order created much excitement In
the yard, for, while it was we'll known
that the We sci, together with the Bos-
ton, was destined to sail for the South
Pacific, yet such o -hasty departure OF
either ship was entirely unlocked for.
Immediately on the receipt or the news
the work OF completing the vessels sup
ply of ammunition was fastened for
ward, large quantity of ammunition
for the Baltimore and san Francisco be-
ing also taken.
1t is calcu' atcd that the run from
'Frooklyn to y aparaiso will consume
forty-fve days In all probability she will
not touch a port until She reaches Monte
video The vessels complement calls
for $50 men, but she sailed shorthanded
to the extent of twenty seven blue
1ackets.
"The officers and crew were delighted
on receiving the sudden sailing orders"
said an old alt who was with Farragut
throughout the war. "If those greasers
do give us a chance at the they'll find
they can't 90 no Blanco Enca.ad busi-
ness with tho Yorktown. They may
bring along Their Almirante Lynches
and their Conde!ls, but they won't catch

We won't let them pull any feathers
out Of the Yankee eagles tail while
