THE ADVOCATE presumes that they

Mr.. Wheeler specially emphasizes
this statement: "The fact is ne are

doing so. We have been told by
many men in Lyon county that they
gave the Gazette their support with
the distinct understanding and in full
expectation that il was to be q faith
full exponent Of the interests Of the
Peoples party, and there Is general
expression Of disappointment on all

know moreover that it is not without

trines do not suit him he should ally
himself to party whose doctrines do

70 be q Peoples party man unless he
is one. He should not talk one thing

in doing so he only shows himself to

Mr.. Wheeler thus closes his long
essay:
INDEBTED TO EUROPE,
Did It ever occur to the Farmers Alliance
people and the advocates Of free silver coinage,
how the upbullding Of the large interior cities
aud great railway centerS which have been
built In the United States during the last thirty
years was accomplished, and the immense area
that was once known as the great American deS-
ert became transformed Into immense wheat and
corn flelds2 DO you know 1t was by the build
Ing OF thousands OF miles Of railroads, and that
these roads would not have been built but for the
money borrowed from Europe2 Doyou not know
that these railway lines are all bonded with q
gold bearing obligation and that the majority
Of these bonds are held In Europe and that 1t
was by the gold obligation Of such securities
that the projectors were enabled 10 sell themP
W0ald you bring ruin upon these enterprises
with either Of your silver schemes by forcing
the gold out Of the country and out OF reach Of
the people, who must meet these obligations or
see their properties sold under mortgage fore
closure and pass into the hands Of these Euro-
pean bondhOlders, who would afterwards reap
the profits Of the various enterpriSes7 Don't
you know that such state Of affairs would
have the effect to Stagnate every industry In the
United StateS9 Don't you know that with all
our immense exports the United States ID q
heavy debtor to Europe for borrowed money,
and that we must pay her In the money that Is
her standard, and In settling our balances In
our commercial transactions we must settle In
the money she wants? The creditor dictates the
kind Of money, and not the debtOrl

THE PEOPLES PARTY AT THE MOUTH
OF THE KAW,

The Kansas City Sun Of November
6, is an admirable number, and Mr..
II. f. Heisler, it's proprietor, is deserv-
ing the thanks Of the Peoples party
Of the state for the energy, prudence
and wisdom that he has displayed
during the canvass. His paper was
the first TO give the election returns
Of Wyandotte county, and his show
ing Of the vote Of the Peoples party
in che forty-four voting precincts OF
the county makes a fine exhibition Of
1887 votes, as against 492 in 1890.
Judge III. P. Vroomsn, one Of the
"old-gusrd" in the cause Of freedom
and OF human rights, made a good
race for Judge Of the district court,
and his political star will ere long
rise in brightness. Through the fierce
prosCriptive struggles Of the years he
has steadily refused to bow the knee
10 Baal and become in any sense q
mammon worshipper, and his reward
must certainly come in the not dis
tant future, which promises to be
laden with rich blessings.
The Sun, in speaking Of Wyandotte
county, says:
In this county, where three tickets were in the
Held, In some localities Alliance men Of Repub-
MCan antecedents voted for their old party, while
In other localities the Democratic Alliance men
stampeded and voted with the Democratic party,
but many OF these have already regretted their
action as they were told by the old party leaders
that the Alliance would make no gains In this
county. But now when they see that there has
been gain In this county Of nearly 200 per cent.
over the Alliance vote OF last year, they SEQ that
they have again been deceived by the trlckSteEs

"A BI.METAL STANDARD IMPOSSIBLE"
In the American Banker of New
York, Fl. w. Wheeler, of Seattle,
Washington, has very long and
tedious article with the foregoing
title.
He seems pleased to have an op-
portunity Of failing Sold straw from
which the life-giving wheat had been
eliminated long ago, and with such
sutoCrstic patriarchs as George 7.
Anthony, Andrew Carnegie and Mar
tin Mohler, insists that the only pres
ent and prospective safety for the
American people, lies in clinging
with o barnscle tenscity to the "gold
standard" which is the supreme
beauty Of the British system Of
finance. Were the present pillars Of
the remnant OF the Republican party
Of Kansas in the saddle, riding as gay
cavaliers booted and spurred among
the people of this glorious common
wealth, they would meekly take their
daily mamma from the British fnan-
cier, Mr.. GosChen, supplemented by
the orthodox doctrines on finance
that emanate from Wall street. and
which are adopted by the Harrison
administration. And who knows, that
had they been living prior to 1776,
they might not have been loyal and
devoted followers OF "the glorious
King George"
But this Mr.. Wheeler says, the
American nation have been doing
business "on a gold basis since 1906"
and that "sfarm lands are not legal
tender, yet the farmer has no trouble
to borrow money on them as COL
lateral"
Parenthetically, the inquiry might
be msde,if fthe farmer has no trouble
TO borrow money on them as col
lateral, ,p-why in the name Of equity,

IN RAIN.

Melbourne's Experiments Result In the
Organization of II Rival Concern,
TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. "a circular letter
under date December | was received at
the governors Office his morning giving
the wonderful proposition of the Interstate
Artificial Rain company of Goodland, which
claims to have obtained from Frank Mel
bourne his secret of producing rain. The
company is organized under the state laws,
and the fight between it and Melbourne,
who claims that il is making fraudu-
lent representations, will probably result
in a damage suit. In the letter received at
the executive office this morning the COM
pany says:
1.-THE Interstate Artificial Rain company,
incorporated under the laws OF the state OF
Kansas, having secured the secret process
of producing rain by artificial means and
having made numerous tests, are satisfied
that they nave a valuable discovery. The
company has completed its organization
and are now ready to negotiate
with syndicates or corporations for
the sale of district or state rights.
Owing to the large amount of terri
tory seeking our services, we nave decided
upon the plan of vesting local companies
or syndicateS with the right to use our
process under certain restrictions for GER
tain described territory, not less in each
sale than ten counties. In this manner,
all the different sections of country desir-
ing the use of this process may avail
themselves of its advantage in the year
1892, if they will work the matter up in
their own county or district by effecting
local organizations during the present
winter. We propose in the sale of such
rights to demonstrate to the satisfaction
Of such purchasers their value by tests to

inc Business Improvement of the Past
Week Gradual. But Certain.
New YORK, Dec. 5.-R. G.. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says:
The only change observable in the con-
dition of business is a gradual improve
ment. Many branches of trade are u lit,
tie more lively and in some the improve
ment is quite satisfactory. The only sign
of unfavorable character is that the collec-
tions at some points are slower and harder
than usual, particularly wherea the low
price of cotton leads holders to defer sell
ing as long as possible. But at the princi.
pal Western points, Chicago, st. Louis,
Cincinnati and st. Paul, collections are
very satisfactory. The larger trade cen.
tiers report most favorably in that respect
and there is less difficulty in Eastern cities.
Though at the South some'embarrass-
ment continues, money is not particularly
stringent anywhere, though rather close
at Nashville and Montgomery. The
official report shows that the volume of all
kinds of currency in actual circula.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Dec. Mrs. Mary
Foote, widow and boarding house keeper
at Independence, Mo, has suffered at the
hands of a stranger who Wooed her heart

attentions increased after he heard her
read a letter saying she would soon receive
$500 from her mother.
The gallant lover. who gave his name as

proposed and the widow accepted. The
man made frequent trips away from town
and after one of these came back say
ing he had bought for almost moth
ing two gold bricks from Il tramp who
was ignorant of their value. His esti-
mate of the combined value of these two
bricks was nearly $4,000, and besides no
had II fortune of his own which would line
life's pathway with roses. But he was q
little short of money and borrowed some
thing less than S400 of the widow TO use i'll
