Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1891-03-10

The government has bonded ware
houses for whisky and the money
power thinks it is all right but it
is all wrong for the government to
have bonded warehouses for any
thing else. The certificates issued
on bonded whisky are as good as
money, and will buy anything that
money will purchase. The only
thing for the farmer to do is to get
his corn made into whisky, and then
the government will be with him.
Industrial Union, Kokomo, Ind.
Yes, it's all right for the govern
ment to keep up bonded ware-hous-
es of damnation and robbery, but
it's anarchy and treason if the peo-
pie attempt to protest or raise their
voices against it, hence the only
thing for the good, honest people to
do is to get together in a national
political party that fears God and
respects the whole people.

NEAR the close of the fifty-first
congress, according to reports, one
Mr.. Foghorn, from the Second con-
gressional district of Kansas, footed
his horn at a note, which caused
great merriment, and the house sat
down on the music.

| the woman S, council at washington,
created great furore among the kid
glove-part-yOur-hair-in : the middle
aristOcracy Of the capital city, and
the Republican editors got upon their
hind legs and hOwled and some of
the preachers declared Mr.. Lease
'talked infidelity." How queer these
fellows do act. They can listen to, or
read, speeches by John j. ingalls,, in
which he tells us another Christ shall
come; says the decalogue and the
golden rule have no place in politics ;
SAYS it is lawful TO deceive, ETC., and
it is all right. Why? Because he
belongs to ''our party" But LET an
honest, christian woman, or man, 60
before an audience and utter some
wholesome truths, aud the kid love
outfit will raise their hands and roll
up their eyes in holy horror; the
plutocro'ic editor will dip his pen in
gall exhaust his vocabulary in search
Of villifying adjectives to apply to the
hapless, though truthful, speaker; the
sanity CD dominic looks up through
his eye-lids and gasps, "Infidelity!'
and the little yelpers all over the
county echo the cry Of their masters.
hi her speech, Mrs. Lease told moth
ing but the truth. She said nc thing
that need oferd any sensible person !;
nothing that smacked of infidelitv.
She is a true christian, but she de
tests the idea of creeds and isms,
which are the stock in trade of many
so-called christians, Mrs. Lease is
brave woman-a grand, noble woman.
She is so much superior to her ira
ducers that comparison is not to be
thought of. In the great hereafter,
her crown will contain very many
brilliant stars. Long may she live to
do battle for oppressed humanity
Greeley Ne,cS.
The AGIrAToR wishes to add few
words to the above. The papers
state that "the refined natures Of
Washington people could not stand
Mrs. Leases coarse language" or
words to that effect. o, no! the
refined" people of Washington can
not stand anything that is beneficial
to the common people )" but they
can go to an inaugural ball (drunk) !,
or to a gathering in New York,
where the men and women togther
wallow, slip and slide about in a
mixture of champagne, whisky, cake,
ETC., throw bottles and glasses at
each other, tear their clothes off,
etc; but when an honest woman APP
pears upon the platform and presents
some burning truths, their "refne-
ment" gets the better of them, and
they turn up their noses, hiss and
walk out. o, yes the refinement"
of Washington society is so thick it
can be cut with knife or broken off
in chunks.

Keeping Capital Away from
Kansas.

department Of monopoly shall be
prohibited in Kansas, as a means of
protecting the people against that
institution Of robbery, the cry has
been going up and down the line OF
the press of the old-party depart
ment of the liquor monopoly, that
on account of that monopoly being
prohibited in Kansas, immigration
is being driven away from the state;
and now, simply because the toiling
masses Of the state are demanding
and seeking to obtain such enact
ment of laws as will fairly and hon
estly protect them against the
dishonest schemes Of usury that are
being practiced on them by another
monopoly, namely, the sharks of
Shylock, the same old subsidized
party monopoly press keep up the
hue and cry, "You are driving cap
ital out of the state"
Now let us notice the objects for
which these false statements are
being made. First, we notice that
the object in regard to prohibition
is simply scheme through which
they have sought to impress a false
idea among the people, and thereby
bring them back into the fold of the
Republican or Democratic party's
policy of licensed whisky. But
this scheme has proven to be a
failure, for prohibition has strong
err foot-hold in Kansas to-day than it
has ever had before, and hon
est, respectable immigration has
been coming into the state right
along. The only immigration that
prohibition has driven away from
the state is that of the still-house,
brewery and saloon, alias the liquor
department of monopoly. In the
second place, we notice that the OBJ
iect of the statements in regard to
the farmers or peoples movement
driving capital away from the. state
is similar in some respects to the
one above mentioned. The scheme,
though, is little more in the shape
of regular old-party sterotyped
boycott for the purpose of soaring
the members of the Peoples party
back into the old-party harness.
To more fully illustrate this
scheme we quote the following from
the Ottawa Republican, Republic
an organ. 1t says:
"Such of the Alliance farmers as
are getting squeezed are not receiv-
ing much sympathy from the capital
list. Money is being quietly loaned
to Republicans in need, but the
worshipers of the Elder messiahship
must take their medicine"
Now if this piece of rot does not
explain the cry of "you are driving
capital out of the state" then what

We are inclined to imagine that
