"The Peoples Party in the Twins"

"The Peoples Party in the Twins"
A western exchange says there are
but two parties in Kansas. The peo-
pies party and the twins. This may
seem overdrawn. but the Charleston S.
G. News and Courier quotes from the
Nashville TENN American, thereby
showing the democratic machine organ
in the two states approving the follow.
ing:
Topeka. September 13.-Not only
have the republicans and democrats
fused in nine judicial districts in Kan
sas to prevent the judiciary from fall
ing into the hands of men WHO openly
preach socialism and wink at repudla-
ton, but the determination to defeat
the peoples party organization where
ever possible, and thus protect the
credit and good name of Kansas, is the
desire of all good citizens, without re-
gard to party. Democrats as well as
republicans are Disguised with the Pef-
fer and Simpson school OF politics, and
in many counties of the state COM
bined ticket will be formed and the COM
bined vote of both parties will be
thrown to defeat the peoples party.
IL is believed that if this new movement
can be generally defeated in the county
elections this fall it will rapidly dlsln-
tegrate and become the minority party
in Kansas next year. The republicans
of Greary county, a'people'sparty strong
hold, took the initiative and many
other counties will follow the example.
The Greary county republican commit
tee met at Junction City. and by vote
of forty to seven decided to combine
with the democrats to defeat the PETER
and Simpson party. The general feel.
lag was that the material prosperity OF
senate demands that both old parties
lay aside political feeling and personal
prejudice long enough to defeat party
that openly threatened Reputation and
enactment of state and national laws,
which history and statesmen from re-
mote limits until the present tell Us are
impracticable and dangerous in the eX-
IRENE. The prevailing opinion was
that it was the duty of all republicans
to meet the democrats on common
grounds as protection against vote
which seeks to plant the seeds OF social
ism and anarchy in our country, and In
the end overturn the government foun-
ded by the fathers of the republic and
change the existing peaceful order OF
things to that of strife, turmoil and
Discussions among classes.

Straddling on the Silver Question.

Tia Indianapolis Sentinel the pluto
cratic organ of the democracy OF lndi-
ana, calls attention to the fact that the
republican platform in Massachusetts
denounces the free and unlimited coin
age Of silver, and that the republican
platform in Colorado demands the free
and unlimited coinage OF silver, and
demonstrates the inconsistency OF such
a divided party claiming to represent
national issues.
And the Me-too-Platt plutocratic or
gan of the republicans Of Indiana, the
Indianapolis Journal. calls attention to
the fact that the democratic platform in
Massachusetts, denounces the free and
unlimited coinage of silver, and that
the democratic platform ir Colorado de-
mands the free and unlimited coinage
of silver, and demonstrates the incon-
sistency OF such divided party claim
ING to represent national issues.
And the peoples party from the At
lantic to tie Pacific, from the lakes to
the gulf demands the free and unlimit-
ed coinage of silver. as part of its fl
nancial platform. The old parties are
divided, the absorbing east against the
producing west and south, on this most
vital of all questions. They are disor-
ganized and must reorganize. The
peoples party is to-day the only nation
al party in this country.-NOnconfor

The Battle is On.

Few OF our readers realize the magni-
tude of the conflict that is before them.
The real issue is, which shall rule in
this republic, capital or the people?
Capital is entrenched in its strOngholds
and has its tools and miniOns in every
money Center OF the woald, and is able
to concentrate it's forces at short notice.
Many think that all we have to do will
be to defeat Wall street. New York.
But all the money power of Europe will
back Wall street. The ,Rothchilds
alone have over $50, 000 900 invested in
this country, and they with other money
kings of Europe have been laying their
schemes until at this day its no idle
boast of theirs that the people can &C
complish nothing against their will.
To show they feel their power, read the
editorials in such papers as the New
York Tribune, World, Mail and Elk
press or Herald. In 1878 the Tribune
said editor.ally, in speaking OF the sit
uatiOn:
The machinery is now furnished by which in
anv emergency the financial corporations or
the east can act together on single days no
tice, with such power that no act of congress
can overcome or resist their decisions.
This is treason TO every pr1nclple Oh
free government, but who could convict
them? There is no doubt but that they
have this power, for capital is thor
oughly organized and the only hope TO
control capital and defeat its treasona-
Bile designs is by thorough organiza-
ton of the masses, not to injure capital
but to control it in the interest of the
people. Nashville (Tenn.) Toiler.

Ponder This.

How much more of your products Will
the dollar of to-day buy than the dollar
of twenty years ago? How much more
OF your debts, your taxes, your officers
salaries, your interest, your mortgages
or your doctor and lawyers fees will it
pay? That is the way to look at the IL
nancial question. Look at the relation
what you have to sell, as producers, sus-
tains to what you have to pay for the
items which enter into your daily
expense account. Have salaries de-
creased? Has interest been reduced?
Are taxes lower? Have mortgages
been curtailed? How does the price of
land, of wheat and corn, OF cotton, OF
everything you raise, compare with the
value of the purchasing agent, money!
Intrest, taxes, mortgages, salaries ana
professional fees are as high as ever,
while wheat, corn, cotton and all agrl-
cultural staples are from 100 to 200 per
cent lower How can you hope for pros
perity while this condition prevails:
Are YOU so blind that you cannot see
that the holders of mortgages, the
drawers OF salaries and the receivers OF
taxes are the ones most benefited by the
enhanced value OF money and the re-
duced price of everything it buys? The
drawer of S., 900 salary can buy three
times as much OF your wheat as he
could when his salary was established,
and hence it follows that it will take
three times as much of your wheat to
pay your proportion of his salary. Is
this equalization? 1t strikes us that we
farmers are the most patient, long suf-
fering set of fools on the face OF the
earth to submit to this state OF affairs
a minute. Just think the dollar you
get for your products buys three times
as much of them as it ever did, but
when you come to pay your obligations
of the above named characters it does
does not 60 any further than it ever did.
Think over this question and you must
at once conclude that the money ques-
ton is the one which overshadows all
others, and is the problem that must be
solved and that speedily. To simplify
the matter, you can state it thus as u
matter of cause and effect: Because
interest taxes, ETC., have not decreased
in the same proportion as the value OF
agricultural products is the reason OF
the prosperity OF the one class and the
poyerty OF the other.-Farmers' Advo-
cate, Chariestown, w. Va

VIII You Vote Right.

While the farmers are rejoicing as a
result of the most bountiful crop in the
nations history, and because OF the fact
that prices are vastly more renumera-
tive than for many years, they should
not forget that the improvement in this
condition is the result of their own in
dustry supplemented by favorable natu-
raj conditions: that no credit is due to
the lawmakers Of the land. AS the mo
mentary conditions that deprecated
the value of farm commodities in the
past still remain in operation, and that
but for an almost unparalleled failure OF
crops in Europe, and consequent de-
mand for all that America can spare,
the price of all staple farm commodi-
ties would have fallen to rates utterly
ruinous Your neighbours calamity is
the cause of your prosperity, and as
there is no assurance that c"OpS viii
not be bountiful in Europe during the
succeeding years present prices cannot
be accepted as any augury of the future.
Nature will compensate for the lean
year with bountiful one, and then the
American farmer will stand face to face
with the manipulators of finance, and
OF commodities, with the winning
cards in the hands of the speculative
clesses. The imperative duty of every
wealth producer is to we'll weigh the
value OF the ballot before casting it, to
scan the political field that he may be
able to Judge as to which of the parties
now before the people are most likely
TO shear the plutocrats of their peculiar
privileges and place the people on
terms OF equality before tho law. Some
of the parties may be Judged by their
past histories and broken promises.
With knowledge of the impossibility
of effecting great reforms through old
parties then the vote of the thinkers
will be cast with the peoples party

The ELECTORAL College in 1902.

. Here is a table which the whole
country will soon begin to study with
great interest. In shows the make up
by states of the electoral college in 1892.
The total membership under the new
apportionment is increased from 4Ol to
444. The people do not vote direct for
president, but he is elected by the states.
The different parties nominate electors.
being as many as the senators and rep
resentatives in congress. The electors
representing the Earty having the
largest number of votes in the state
meet in what is called the electoral COL
Iegc and cast the number of votes for
president and vice-president which
their state is entitled to. 1t is custom
arv for these electors to cast a SOLID
vote for the nominees of their party:
but there is no law compelling them to
do so. If so disposed each elector mig Mt
vote for any person, but this IS not
likely to occur. TO be elected presl-
dent man must receive 223 votes, a
full majority OF the total. II no one
receives that number the election is
thrown into the present house OF repre-
SentativeS.

A Political Fable.

Tom Jones and Sam Smith we're
neighbors. Tom was banker and Sam
was farmer. Tom asked Sam to lend
him q thousand dollars. Sam said [
will lend you the thousand dollars you
want on the following conditions: First,
you give me your note secured by a
mortgage on your farm for the amount
at percent interest per anum. Sec
ond, you shall lend me 5000 at 2 per
cent per anum to secure the payment
of which | shall deposit your own note
for 81 900.
Tom being plain farmer and not
we'll up in finance, consults his lawyer.
John Sherman. John, on hearing a
statement of the case, advises Tom to
close the arrangements on the terms
offered by Sam. John takes a fee from
Tom and gets partnership with Sam
in the bank. Their neighbors pro

The alliance in Michigan has pros
pered beyond the mast sanguine expec-
ta.ions during the past year. 1t has
increased in numbers and effectiveness,
until now it may well be considered as
one Of the reliable and slaunch state or
CARNATIONS of the order. Under the
Intelligent and conservative guidance
OF its officers, no factions whatever have
arisen, no discussions have occurred in
the ranks, but to the contrary. a unity
of action and continuity OF purpose has
directed all efforts 1t has taken care
of itself and its growth and condition is
the result of home effort. Michigan
has never been accorded the aid which
comes from large meetings, addressed
by national officers or men of national
reputation in the order, hence it may
be considered as self-made IN nearly all
respects. The good work done in Mich
igan has had its effect in other states.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-There were
no developments in the italian affair
today, and the reviving interest has
lapsed into disposition to quietly await
what the next few days may bring
forth. The high officials are certainly
incredulous as respects Italy's alleged
intention of taking such hostile step
as the ordering Of Minister Porter from
Rome would be.
New ORLEANS, April 12.-The grand
jury is expected to report the coming
week, and among other things it is said
the confession of Politz will be used in
the report. Politz confessed his own in
nocence. He joined the Malta under
the impression that it was benevolent
society. He was present when Henne-
sey's death was decided upon, and was
ordered to carry the guns in sack to
Monasterio's shanty, but refused. He
did not know of the killing until the
Sunday following, but afterwards
learned the details from Monas-
terio, and they were substan-
TALLY the same as claimed by
the state, duplicating Scaffedi,
Marchesi, Bagnetto and Monasterio as
Hennessy's slayers. The state did not
use the confession because it had such
direct proof of Politz's presence at the
killing, which his story denied. Politz
is said to have a brother who closely re-
sembled him, who has not been heard
of since the killing, and is presumably
in Italy. Had he been found his iden-
tifcation might have been transferred
to him, and Politz's confession would
have formed an important link in the
chain of evidence.
