Union as did Daniel Webster, is thing of

under the gag law and party whip. He has
no chance to speak out for his people and
soon discovers that representative govern
ment has been cast to the winds
Now what has kept the South and West
from uniting2 Nothing more or less than
the waving Of the bloody shirt for twenty
six years by such men as John J. ingalls, of
Kansas and Hoar of Massachusetts, The
West has gone on drawing their hundred
millions in pensions, voting for high tariff
and hating the South merely because some
bloody shirt politician told them they ought
to. But while the South is not, the West is
tired of it. The South has fought, bled and
died together. Certainly after fight of
twenty-six years she should awaken to the
conclusion that the Democratic party can
never get permanent control OF this govern
ment without a coalition with the honest
reform people of the great West. Their
interest and ours are the same. In this age

what they do will determine that-but it is no
reproach TO them that they are delegates of
the discontinued" The congress which adopted
the declaration OF independence was composed
wholly OF the delegates OF the discontinued. and
SO has been every other gathering OF men which
has instituted any of the great reforms Of his
tory. 1t is not a reproach 10 q man to be dis
contented. The Hampdens, the Patrick Henrys,
the Jeffersons, the AdamseS, the Franklins and
all the rest of libertys lovers have been the
disconnected and the delegates OF the discon-
tented and it was their discomfort that made
them benefactors OF mankind and the scourgers
OF wrong. Every man OF honest mind is dis
contented with wrong, injustice and oppression,
and is at war with those things. whether on his
own account or in behalf OF his felow-men.
Discomfort - the motive power OF human
progress. II has accomplished the overthrow
of despotic power and the emancipation of the
people SO far as those ends are accomplished
1t alone can complete that work 1t some times
errS in its objects and methods, but it would be
which discomfort should be eliminated from
the list of active forces or the delegates Of the
disconnected" should be made to hold their
peace.
Now, the people of Kansas and the West
are all right They wish now to unite with
the South and bring about thoroughly re
form administration. No doubt the third
party is off in its sub-treasury bill; but the
farmer asks this, furnish US something
better" Kansas has showed under ingalls,
and gone in for the relief of the people
They, with their short haired women may
be cranks, but the correct definition of a
crank is person with an idea. The idea
of more money and reform is correct. Now
the Hon. Barney Gibbs is a thinker, he is
progressive in thought and no doubt the
leading commoner of the state at this time.
Most of our ablest minds have been sold 10
railroad attorneyships. In denouncing
Governor Gibbs bill and the sub-treasury
why does not the Hon. Dave CulberSon offer
something better2 Our people are crying
to heaven for relief.
Right here why cannot state issue cur
rency to meet the needs of her people2 II
could be regulated-per capita-accordin
10 the United States census, and banks of
distribution located in each congressional
district. As to the lending of money at
low rate of interest, there would be no
trouble and perfect security furnished the
state, as has been the canny Scot across the
Atlantic. The promise of the state of
Texas to pay her debts is as good as that of
France. France is a most prosperous coun-
try. with circulating medium of so per
capita. Look at Texas with all its natural
advantages, and not inaptiy called the
France of America, with a circulating me-
dunn Of s. per capita. Still the state bank
ers' convention had the gall few days ago
to pass resolutions declaring that the Cir
