EVEN the Topeka Democrat, which
was never before known to say a good
word for any Republican, has been
constrained to admit the excellence Of
the Presidents speeches. We quote;
The President, be it said to his cred
it, has made the tour of the south and
west, and wherever called up has
made most happy and appropriate
speeches.
There were no encyclopedias on the
train, but the brainy man said what
he had to say in a few well chosen
words.
He always made his point and
when he made il, sat down.
There were no meaningless phrases,
no poppycock, no buster. Nothing
but plain everyday American talk.
Harrison has grown. His head is
plenty large TO wear grand pas hat
without padding. He is strong man.
He will be renominated for President
by reclamation and will be an awful
hard man to beat.
No sensational campaign can beat
Harrison.
Grover Cleveland can not beat him.

HOW WE HAVE PAID DUB DEBT.

Topeka Capital.
The census bulletin comparing the
Indebtedness per capita of the nations
of Europe and the United States is
one of the most valuable yet publish.
ed. Great Britain's debt is SS7. pei
capita, Frances S116.35, the Neither
lands $3.50, Italy's S76.06, Austro-
Hungary's S70.S4, Belgium's S66.10
and Russia's S30.97. That is to say
one man i'm Great Britain pays as
much for the debt as six in the United
States, one man in France more than
eight in the United States, one man
in the Netherlands as much as seven in
the United States, one man in Austria
as much as five in the United States,
one man in Belgium more than four in
the United States and one man in
RUSSIA nation which does nothing
as compared with the United States
for her people--as much as two in this
country.
Under the rule of the Republican
party the United States came up out
of war which imposed a debt of near
ly three billion dollars upon the peo-
pie and in the twenty-five years has
paid Off two billions, reducing the
debt from the billion to the million
period. Meanwhile the revenues tC
meet this vast liquidation have been
drawn largely from foreign producers
whose goods were imported into this
country, the same means employed
for paying the public debt being also
used to foster new industries for our
people, industries which now employ
100000 men and pay out in wages
every day over $4,OOO,O00. A quarter
of a century ago our debt was the
greatest per capita in the world. To-
day it is the least in the world. The
means employed by the Republican
party to make this astounding liguida-
ton have enabled us not only to build
up vast and innumerable industries
but have enabled US also to make a
stand against the nations of the old
world for higher wages for laboring
men, and today despite the fact that
they have paid off two billions of in
debtedness our wage earners receive
the highest wages, live in the best
houses, wear the best clothes, are
supplied with the best and greatest
abundance of food, have the most
leisure-the shortest working day
provide for their Children the best adj
vantages of education, are the most
literally governed, enjoy the most
rights are the most intelligent and
hopeful of all the wage earners of the
earth.
Yet we see little jack-rabbit dema-
gogues jumping up on the prairies of
Kansas and demanding that the Re-
publican party be cast out and new
party which will pledge itself to revo-
lutionize the government and finance
be placed in power. Whether the
Republican party lives or dies it has
the noblest record in the history of
political organizations. Its achiev-
ments prove the everlasting righteous
ness and universal justice of its prin-
ciDles

GENERAL BUTLER IN REPLY TC
PETER


WHEN Senator PETER had conclud-
ed his speech at the Butler club ball.
quet at Boston the other night, Gener.
al Butler arose to speak. He began
by saying:
You remember a year ago discuss
ed this question with you that our
guest has discussed tonight. 1 told
you what was in store for US, what
was the necessary result of the condi-
ton of things. ] told you what APP
peared to me to be inevitable. did
MT have time to discuss the causes
i simply spoke to you of what was
the condition of the farming interests
of the country.
Inow come to the other question,
what causes this condition.? What
is the remedy for it? / was secuted
then because pictured scene of such
immense Indebtedness that many of
the others, who hadn't examined the
question, said that it couldn't be SO.
beg leave to call your attention for
a few moments to that question. In
the early days of the country the far
mers were substantially prosperous;
prosperous i'm Massachusetts, in New
Hampshire. in New England. Why?
Because they had home market, be-
cause they raised 10 more farm pro-
duce than was wanted by this coun-
try.
Then came change. What was
that change? We have opened mil
lions and millions of acres up for the
farmers of the west. We did for
them what was never done for any
other class of people; they got their
lands and farms substantially for
nothing. The rest of us had to buy
our tools, build our factories, and buy
our lands which were not inherited.
The Alliance speakers seem to have
a disinclinatiou to look for moment
