BARBER COUNTY PLATFORM.

We. the representatives of the Peoples par
ty OF Barber county, in delegate convention
assembled hereby heartily endorse the action
of the Cincinnati conference, believing that
the declaration put forth there is one of the
most important events of the century and we
invite the voters of Barber county to stand
with us for the overthrow of the combinations
of capital which have first forced one party
and then the other, to submit to their selfish
demands
We present not merely theory, Jefferson
ian or Lincolnian; but like those great states
men, we ask you to meet the conditions which
confront you, and with their fearless states
menship. Sink or swim, live or die" we have
unfurled our banner for '92, emblaZOned with
the battle cry. Equal rights to all, and spe-
cIal privileges to none."
We condemn the action of our state senate
in obstructing reform measures demanded by
the people; and while we could not expect the
house, I'm single session, to reform all the
abuses which have grown up under republican
action for the past twenty-five years, we COM
mend them for what they did, and demand
that they shall continue in the good work till
it shall be fully accomplished
We commend the efforts of the county of
GERS to enforce the law, and we believe th
O-~~-
trials at the expense of the people. We pledge
our candidates to be law abiding men. who will
not wink at crime or corruption, and we pledge
ourselves to ask the resignation of any one
found guilty of the same.
We demand an economical administration of
national, state and county affairs, and a strict
accounting for all money taken from the peo-
pie in the way of taxation, and we denounce
the boasted extravaganza of the recent billion
dollar congress.
We believe that the politics of the past has
become corrupt, and that a change will prove
beneficial, and thus believing we invite all
persons who are interested in the welfare of
our state and county to unite with ms in our
efforts to bring back the decalogue INTO poll.
tics, and to prove that purity in politics is not
an iridescent dream.
We commend Judge Mckay for his firm
stand in administering the law without fear OF
favor, and we denounce the spirit of dema-
gogy which has attempted to bring him into
reproach.

Ignorant IdIncY.

Let us review the peoples party plat
form of Kansas for the year 1890, and
see If the sub-treasury and government
| money-loaning schemes were ''in it, -
and see, then, If am not right in nv
claim, that there is an organized effort
being made since the election last fall
to change our position from the one we
occupied in last years campaign, with
the motto: Equal rights for all and
special privileges for none," as our
rallying cry, to one that is radically
different and to MY mind one that can
not be successfully maintained in this
Land of sovereign voters, owing to the
idea underlying these schemes, that
there Is some means By achach tie goDern-
Dae1lt can get money soit1sout turing tie Deo-
pie for II or borrototng IL. In fact they
are, as / see them, made out of the
same piece of cloth that Mr.. Ward has
in mind when he says, in the Farmer
OF August IL, "the monumental idiocy
of the age is the fact that governments
have been foolish enough to borrow
money instead of making it" II this
is true, the sooner we would break up
our lone government" and make a
multitude of little governments to make
money for us, SO as to avoid all taxa
tion. the better for us But all such
claims are simply absurd on their face.
"A. G. Shinn, in Kansas Farmer.
Fiddle-de-dee. Will Mr.. Shinn now
kindly inform us where the people get
the money from that is thus taxed and
borrowed from them by the govern-
ment? GEORGE c. WARD
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1891-10-14

rate OF interest would be acceptable ON
that account The government by
allowing low rate on the surplus
earnings of the people, would be en-
abled 10 fix the rate for the use of
money very much below the lowest
legal rate now prevalent Something
similar to the so-called Hill banking
system is in fact the only intelligent
solution of this question.
There Is no use of attempting to bull
doze Through to its adoption by the
national congress any measure which
will not commend itself to the intelli-
gence and sense of justice of majority
OF the people A mere increase of the
volume OF the currency, without a
change IN the method of distribution.
will accomplish nothing. system of
distribution which lacks the element
OF equality cannot be maintained.
We. perhaps, run the risk, of bring
ing upon ourselves the condemnation
of certain hobby-riders by utterinQ
these sentiments, but they are just and
we shall stand by them. Loyal, hui
name and patriotic craftsmanship can
settle this question. 1t will not be
settled by the methods of the inquisi-
ton or by any attempt to force support
from those who are not convinced.
The people can be relieved from the
iniquities of our present financial sys-
tenn, from the depredations of the
money sharks and all inimicable com
binations if they will but base organ
lied resistance upon intelligent conclu-
sions--St. Paul Mimi State.

Reduced to the Lowest Point.

The wages of the male workers are
reduced to the lowest point by the
avarice of employers, who take adj
vantage of the competition of women
and child labor and the reserve army
OF destitute. unemployed men, ever
ready to take the place of the dissatis-
lied workers at any price or risk. The
general average of wages given by the
best authority, the United States census
and the various state reports, are as
follows: Industrial workers, 81. OF per
each day in the year; farmers, SO cents;
miners, IL cents That the declaration
that all wealth and power centers in
the hands of a few is true is shown in
the following table, showing the pro-
gressive increase In our national wealth
and its division between the producers
(workers) and the non-producers (rich
parasites):

resulted in his death yesterday afterAo1n

three-masted schooner Maggie NJ. Ke-
ough from the yards of David Lauk &

He was starding oil the Kent side Of
the Mispilliou river, and Immediately op

upou the WAYS It was ab ut two CLOCK
when the cry we up that the schooner
was leaving the ways, aud those OIL the
north side of the river at pnce ran for
fear of getting wet with the waves that
always wash the shore Oh such an occa-
sion Mr.. Russell was standing on some
piIng when the schooner began to slide
down the ways, and did not run as he
seemed high and dry and out OF danger
A wave struck the pile OF logs on which
he was standing, and before he ;uld Jump,
the one upon which lie stood rolled,
throwing the unfortu late maa to the
ground. As he fell three other large pil-
ing struck him squarely OIL the Lead
