no speaker or editor can afford to-

giving this book careful perusal-
Bro Scott is the best qualified man
in the states to present this subject
He has studied it in all it's phases,
and he writes honestly, calmly
graphically and convincingly.
1t is a book for the multitude as
well as for the philosopher 1t is

No one can afford not to read it,
The fact that as it's pages went to
press they passed under the eagle
eye of j. G.. Hubbard adds immense

Kansas Republicans Hostile to
Fair Voting.

Now that the cost of the Austria
liam ballot system has been definite
ly shown by experience, it is safe to
say that in the long run the addl-
tional expense in a city like Leav-
enworth will not exceed ten cents a
year for every voter, for the spring
and fall elections together. 1t IS
not much to pay for system which
renders bribery a waste of money
and leaves the ward heller almost
wholly without occupation.-Leav-
enworth Times.
This tribute to "the Australian
ballot system" from leading daily
in the state has quite considerable
significance. And now would the
Times be willing to inform it's read
ers that the Republican machine"
of the state, with Senator William
j. Buchan as it's managing head,
would have nothing OF this system,
averring that it would beat at the
polls in the county elections OF
1891 host of Republican candi-
dates for county Offices ? And that
the Doodle managers who develop
the "ward-heeIcr" would find, like
Othello, that his occupation was
gone, and hence, all chances for
keeping Kansas in the Republican
column in 1892 would indeed be
clear gomez And yet this poor, old
party has heretofore been making
the blatant cry: "a free ballot, a
fair count and an honest return"
Oh! consistency, thou art truly
glittering Republican jewel .-Ad-
vocate, Topeka.

SENATOR INGALLS, said, in the Unit
cd States senate, Feb. Is, 1878 {:
"No people in a great emergency
ever found faithful ally in gold. 1t
is the most cowardly and treacher-
Gus of all metals. 1t makes no
treaty it does not break. 1t has no
friend it does not, sooner or later,
betray- Armies and navies are not
maintained by gold. In times Of
panic and calamity, shipwreck and
disaster, it becomes the agent and
minister of ruin No nation ever
fought great war by the aid of gold.
On the contrary, in the crisis of the
greatest peril, it becomes an enemy
more potent than the foe in the field;
but when the battle is won, and
peace has been secured, gold reap
pears and claims the fruit of victory.
In our own civil war, it is doubtful
if the gold of New York and Lon
don did not work us greater Injury
than the powder and lead and iron
of the rebels. 1t was the most in
vincible enemy of the public credit.
Gold paid no soldier OF sailor 1t
refused the national obligations. 1t
was worth the most when our for
tunes were the lowest Every de-
feat gave it increased value 1t was
in open alliance with our enemies
the world over, and all it's energies
were evoked for our destruction.
But, as usual, when danger has been
averted, and the victory secured,
gold swaggers to the front and as
serts the supremacy Mr.. Ingalls,
also said eft, by any process, all
business were compelled to be trans
acted on a coin basis, and actual
specie payments be enforced, the
whole civilized world would be
bankrupt before sunset.
