Trusts in England.

A valued correspondent of the RE-
FLECToR writes US asking, care there
anyltrusts in England such as we have
here?"
Trusts in England? Bless you, lots
of them. Congressman Henderson, Of
Iowa, in his speech in the house said
that these trusts in England were
almost all English trusts: the iron
trust, the tin trusts, the china and
earthenware trust, the plate glass trust,
the foreign sugar trust, the coffee
trust, the undertskers' trust, the car
rage, cart and wagon axle trust, the
sheet iron trust and the wood screw
trust" And Mr.. Blaine, in his speech
at Dover, Me-. on August 81, 1888,
challenged refutation of the statement
that s'trusts flourish to greater extent

What Free Silver Means.

A reader of the Topeka Capital asks
an explanation of free coinage of
silver" and that paper replies: BY the
term ''free coinage" is generally
meant free and unlimited coinage.
That is to say, the entire product of
the silver mines of the world may at
the pleasure CT the possessors be
brought to the United States treasury
and in exchange for every 4l23 grains
of STANDARD silver the United States
shall give silver dollar. The quality
of STANDARD silver" is not pure.
There are 4121 grains of standard
silver to the dollar; but standard silver
is only nine-tenths pure or mine
tenths fine'' as it is called. There are
consequently but nine-tenths of 4123
or 371f, grains of pure silver in the
dollar. Silver is now worth in the
market about 1O4 cents an ounce.
There beingC4S0 grains in an ounce, a
grain of silver is worth about 31.7 cents,
and 371f grains are worth about SO3
cents. The free silver advocates claim
that hostile legislation has reduced the
value of silver below what for long
ages was its true value with relation to
gold and that in reality, were it treated
by law as gold is treated, and coined in
unlimited quantity, the value of 9714
grains of fine silver would be approx
mately 81 as reckoned in gold. They
claim that if free coinage" is granted
the value of an ounce of silver will
soon reach I29 cents; which would
make S714 grains worth a dollar.

Our Representatives Explanation

Our Representatives Explanation.
In this issue we publish letter from
Representative Harvey apologizing for
the manner in which he voted upon the
noted "ex-soldier petition" MI. Sem
has letter in last weeks Monitor of
the same import. The fact that these
two gentlemen haYe awakened to the
realization of the fact that their con-
duct toward the defenders of our cOun-
try is being disapproved by a large
majority of their constituents, is not
an omen of evil. 1t is about the first
sign of repentance which has come
from those who are bound hand and
foot to approve allmeasures "fOrmulat-
ed behind closed doors, discussed in
privacy, agreed upon by secret eau
cuses," and therefore passed without
serious debate by a fOreOrdained ma
jority,
The excuse which these two gentle
men make for the votes they gave on
this petition will deceive no one. The
referring Of the petition of ex-uniOn
soldiers requesting their representa-
tives to support their friend for U. S.
senator to any committee whatever
cannot be explained upon any other
hypothesis than an intended open
insult to the petitioners. 1t was not a
subject of investigation. When the Pc
tition WAS read in the house and the
members had heard it read, the petit
ton had accomplished its purpose,
which was TO inform the representa-
tives and senators of the wishes of the
petitioners. The sole purpose of a
reference was to smother the petition
and keep it away from the records and
out of sight of those who were not il
sympathy with it. Neither of our dis
tinguished representatives in their
apologies suggest the remotest objec
III lO1OA14uS bbO pCllGlOuO W q OOlnLllI-
tee. The committee to whom the
petition was referred returned it to the
house with the recommendation that
it be spread upon the journal and
driven by the honest indignation of the
people of the state az the disgracefu
treatment which the petition had re-
ceived, Mr.. Harvey and others voted
as they should have voted in the first
place to treat the petition with respect
and have it "spread on the journal. .
We are not disposed to find too much
fault with our representatives. They
unfortunately belong to an organiza-
ton whose representatives are not al
liberty to vote at all times as theil
consciences dictate. Their line of duty
is marked out for them and they must
travel whithersoever it leadeth.

Kansas Poker PLAYER.

"There are three or four members of
the house, also, who are almost daily
seated at the senatorial game, and
strangely enough, two of them have
never been suspected of playing by
their colleagues. One is membtI
from Chicago, and in addition to being
a poker player, it is said that he IS
member of the alleged silver pool. The
third member of the house who belongs
to the senatorial game is the represen-
tatiVe of rural constituency in Kan
sas, and there is probably not one man
in the house who has not personal
knowledge on the subject, who would
believe for an instant that this man
ever saw a game Of poker. Yet, &C
cording to the statement of one of the
constant participants in the game, this
hayseed member is one of the most ex-
pert players who ever opened a jack
pot. He has a face that no man can
read and an appearance of utter child
like innocence. p New York Sun.

Two Mis-Statements,

You cannot protect manufacturer by re-
ducipg the price Of his products. The Nc
Kinley bill protects, therefore it raises
prices.-rSolomOn Valley Democrat.
Two infamous mis- statements of a
free trader Prices are Oftener re-
duced than raised by protection. For
instance, a manufacturer of moving
machines after deducting all expenses,
makes net on each machine SO, and
suppose that by reason of the influx of
machines from abroad be is unable to
find a market for more 1000 machines
annually. His net income is $4,000.
By reason of the prohibitOry feature of
tie tariff On moving machines, foreign
machines are kept out to a certain ex-
tent and this same manufacturer finds
4 market for $500 machines annually.
lie reduces the price of his machines
so that his net profit on each machine
is only $500. His net income then on
$500 machines is sl2, 800. The farmer
gets his machines $500 cheaper and
the manufacturers net income for the
year is $4,000 greater. A protection
gives the farmer a cheaper machine
and the manufacturer a greater income,
and at the same time it furnishes en-
ploymeDt for men enough to make the
additional 800 machines. So our
American system of protection" pro-
tects the producer, the consumer and
the laborer.

secretary Tracy Gets a Scoring For His
Letter Reprimanding Commander Reiter
"A Public Building Bill Passed Over
the Presidents Veto.

WASHINGTON, Feb. lin the Senate
yesterday the House bill to revise the
wages of certain employees in the Gov
eminent printing Office was passed with
substitute Offered by Mr.. Germany
providing that all night employees
should be paid 20 per cent. in addition
to the amount paid for day labor. A
conference was asked and Messrs.
Henderson, Hawley and German were
appointed conferees on the part of the
Senate.
Messrs. Dawes, Plumb and German
were appointed conferees on the part of
the Senate on the Notifications bill.
The naval appropriation bill was then
taken up and Mr.. Hale made a state
ment as to its provisions. The first
committee amendment was the follow
ing: ITO enable the President to cause
careful soundings to be made between
San Francisco and Honolulu in the
kingdom of the Hawaiian islands for
the purpose of determining the prac-
ticability of the laying of telegraphic
cable between those points, s25, 900 or
SO much thereof as may be necessary,
and the President is hereby authorized
TO direct the use of any vessel or yes
sells belonging to the United States in
making such survey" 1t was agreed
to after remarks by Mr.. German that it
was not to be regarded as committing
the Government in any way to the
proposition that the Government was
to lay the cable.
The item of S25, 900 for equipment and
arms for naval militia in various sta
tons was challenged by Mr.. Carlisle
and was explained by Mr.. Hale as sp-
plying to certain States that had organ
izations for drilling and training for
naval service, Just as the land militia
had for land service. After long de-
bate Mr. Carlisle moved to strike out
of the paragraph the words equip
ment and" so that it would read 'for
arms and naval militia" etc. Mr.. Hale
concurred in the propriety of the
amendment and It was agreed to. Mr..
Morgan pleaded for the propositions.
He believed that nothing would crafty
the American people better than to
have good cause to quarrel with some
great power and go to war about it. It
was well, therefore, to encourage or
ganazations for the training Of naval
militia.
Ms. Coclrren opposed the proposition
Finally the vote was taken and the
clause was agreed to-yeas 81, nays 10.

One Hanger-on Gone.

A number OF republican papers whose
habit it is to weep over the deposition
Of any Of the old ringsters who for the
past dozen years have maintained po-
litical machine at the state capital
are just now shedding copious showers
over the decapitation of D. W. Wilder,
superintendent of insurance.
There never has appeared any good
reason why such a man as Wilder
should have attained to any public
position. His only claim to distinction
appears to be that he once compiled a
book Of statistics called the ANNALS of
Kansas" whose only claim to origin
ality consists in its statistical mac
curacies. His chief recommendation
is unlimited, unblushing cheek. He
is noted as the only state official who
ever prOstituted his public position to
take revenge upon his personal enc
mies. His insurance reports are models
Of blsckguardism and billingsgate &C
quired by constant association with
those who indulge that class of Iitera-
sure. He has been diligent in his
efforts to suppress home industries and
to foster and build up the business of
foreign insurance corporations. He
has caused millions of dollars of Kan
sas money to go into the Golfers of
these immense corporations which never
pay q dollar into the Kansas treasury
or in any way help develop our state.
Instead Of encouraging and endeayor-
ing to aid and build up home institu-
tions, he has searched for flimsy ex-
cuses and reasons for demolishing
them. Had he been the paid en-

The decision of Judge Osborne, of
WaKeeney, as reported exclusively in
last nights REFLECTOR, will have an
important bearing on the Indebtedness
of western Kansas settlers. About
year ago Sam Wood, on Judge BOtkin's
decision, proposed to wipe out several
million dollars worth of mortgages
made by settlers before final proof.
The matter never came to test, how
ever, as Judge Botkin's decision was
not sufficiently definite. Now the posi-
ton of such mortgages is placed be-
yond doubt and unless the supreme
court holds otherwise the eastern in
vestors are safe in their securities.

Jerry Simpsons Underground Bank


The New York Sun by its witty yet
sensible handling of the Cranks of Kan
Sas has made an enviable reputation in
the past few weeks. Its latest essay
on Kansas affairs is as follows: The
imported Canadian feet of the Hon.
jeremiah Sockless Simpson, of Medi-
cine Lodge can never run for president,
but he ought to be secretary of the
treasury if ever there is an alliance
president of the United States. AS a
fnancier, an expert upon circulating
medium, and an inventor of money, the
sockless Socrates bents all the other
currency cranks of the alliance as much
as lightning beats a messenger hey.
He unfolded his views before the peo-
pie of Wichita last night, and even the
scanty reports Of his speech which
have come east show that Hamilton
and Gallatin were babies in the horn
book Of finance, and that Jerry is a
bigger man than the two of them.
HE was not stuck, he said, on the
precious metals as circulating mediums.
His idea was a bit of paper, and he
would prefer to see all gold and silver
left in the mountains where they be-
logged. He would have an estimate
made of the amount under the ground,
aud would issue silver certificates
equivalent in value. Coin in the treas
ury was liable to be stolen by foreign
enemy, but no amount of faith even
could remove the mountains and their
precious freight"
What is the sub-treasury plan by the
side of Jerry's subterranean treasury
planP Could there be holder stroke
of financial genius than to draw checks
upon the bank of underearth? In
those vast vaults and boundless sub
treasures are inexhaustible deposits
and wealth inestimablel How are you
going to overdrsw your accounts2
HOW are you going 70 break the safe
deposit company of the bowels of the
earth?
In reverent appreciation of the
mighty mind of this Canuck-Kansan
we hereby direct the paying teller of
the board of the Nibelungs to pay to
the order Of jeremiah s. Simpson six
thousand $4,000 pots of rainbows, a
crate of sunshine cucumbers, and a
leather medal made of the skin of
Fsfnir. And we advise all the Kan
sas alliance men to provide themselves
with wands of witch hazel to find the
banks under their farms. And we
further advise them to stick to ]. S.

ties and dispenser Of the treasury of

Mr.. Henderson also called attention to
the fact that the "Big Four" trusts, of

not owe their existence to protection.
Mr.. James Bryce, author of the "Amer-

to thrive on free trade.

been. No one will regret his political
demise so much as they. The reten-
tion in public positions in this state of
just such political parasites as D. W..
Wilder contributed largely to bring
about the calamity which befel the
republican party in the state last No
vember. His dismissal will tend to
purify the political atmosphere around
the capitol. Gov. Humphrey should
continue to weed out his political
household and not stop until the last
"hanger.on" is deposed.
