THE NEEDS or KANSAS.

I'm Novcmbcr last some Of the farmers in
several Western states overthrow the Rcpub-
Iic,n party. Their main object ii one may
indigo from published declarations Of their Al
Iancc. was to secure more money and cheaper
money In attempting to govern this country
any party has to face facts, and especially the
actual wants Of the people Of different sections.
If it can meet those wants without sacl1hcin@
the interests Of all, a party may hope for sue
cess. 1t is the complaint OF Western farmers
Of the Alliance that the Republican party has
refused 10 meet demands which they believe 10
be just
Mr.. simpson, membcr-clcct from Kansas,
has been explaining freely and fully what the
Alliance wants on the money question. Fiat
uapcr made an absolute legal tender FOR all
debts public and private, would suit him and
MANY others. but some he admits, this would
not suit Hence, and only Us the next best
thing. the Alliance demands free coinage OF
silver believing it would make money more
plenty at the West. Mr.. Simpson complains
that seven hundred and fifty millions are locked
I'D in bank reserves and SIX hundred millions III
the Treasury but this is great mistake. The
amount i'm the Treasury Of all kinds excepting
its own certificates and the bullion represented
by certificates in circulation, is now about two
hundred and two millions. The amount held
by the National banks i'll all kinds OF money is
now about two hundred and ninety one mill

who presumably thought him honest and well
Informed. since they sent him to Congress. But
if he was in fact their best man, what deplor-
able ignorance must he behind.
Mr.. Simpson does not attempt 10 explain how
unlimited coinage Of silver would make money
more plenty in Kansas. That State does moi
produce cold OF silver. /, would gain not a
cent by having power to put into the form oil

State must get money, if at all, by selling some

oynort The market value OF these prouuc'S
boinc known at Liverpool. expressed in the best
money used in any country, the amount Is then
known which anybody can afford to pay IN the
came money at Newly ork or Chicago. Cheaper
money here would not make these products
worth more by single cent in Liverpool, and
consequently not more at New DIX OF Ohi-
caco unless in a deprecated currency Kansas
would therefore pay more real money for things
purchased. but would get not cent more real
money for things sold.
The only chance OF gain is that Kansas might
be able to pay interest on individual MUNICIPAL
county and State debts in deprecated Gun
rencv. If that were the result, are the people
of Kansas ready to 20 before the country as
paupers. begging the rest of the American peo-
pie to support them? What farmer, having
borrowed $1,000 in good money i'll order to
stock his farm, will openly propose to pay his
debt in SO-cent dollars? Surely this is not the
morality which will prevail in Kansas when
the people of that State understand the matter.
But if that were the policy OF the people OF
Kansas, do they really think they could borrow
money on better terms? Do they not know
that lenders would make rates all the more
severe if they would lend at all subject to such
conditions of payment?
The fact seems to be that the Republican
party is blamed because it has declined to adopt
policy which would be ruinous to the people
Of Kansas and dishonest toward the people OF
other States. When the citizens of Kansas come
to consider the matter soberly, ii is safe to say
that they will not long censure the Republican
party for its refusal.

The State Senate yesterday completed the
good work begun when the Assembly passed
Mr.. Acker's bill making an appropriation of
S454, 900 in order to carry out the provisions
of the beneiicent law passed last year author
izing the transfer of panper lunatics from the
county poOrhcuses to the State insane asylums
There have been attempts made in both houses
this session to repeal this excellent law The
Senate expressed its opinion of those attempts
by it's emphatic majority on the Ackcr bill.
Despite the large appropriations threatened by
