THR sUR.TREAsuRY BILL.

We have the following questions
from a correspondent:
FIrst-One object Of the plan is to enable the
farmers 10 hold their crops for remunerative
prices. n they take advantage OF this the effect
would be TO increase the volume OF currency be-
fore the time when the increase Is needed to
move the crop. Is not this correct?
Second-When this enormous comparative In
fatlOn Is contracted by the movement Of the
crops. will II not produce great depression I'm
prices?
No. The writer is wrong in both
his propositions. The increase Of
circulation is needed whenever there
are products ready to be thrown upon
the market The warehouse system
eliminates the speculstor, and avoids
the absolute marketing Of crops faster
than such marketing is required to
supply the demands Of the consumer.
BY the storage Of these products un-
der the warehouse system so per cent
of their value goes into circulation
among the people. The increase of
the currency has its invariable effect
Of raising prices of labor and
all commodities and the grain stored
in the warehouses would be increased
in price with all other commodities
by virtue of the large volume Of
money in circulation. The retire
ment of this circulation would take
place no faster than the products
stored were withdrawn and the
amount OF this flexible currency in
circulation would always bear an ex-
act ratio TO the quantity of commodi-
ties still in store. The system is per-
fectly self-balancing, will always Sc
cure fair prices, prevent spectators
from robbing consumers, and, best OF
all, will supply an ample currency
directly from the government to the
people without the intervention OF
corporations or the payment OF
usury.

In order to show the prevalent Re
publican sentiment on financial ques-
tions, let the following be quoted
from a recent magazine article from
Senator Hoar:
There is no pending measure which the bust
ness men OF The country think likely 10 be more
injurious 10 our prosperity than the proposition
for the free coinage Of silver. They think that
II the proposition should be adopted, the meas.
ure OF our circulating medium, the measure and
standard Of all prices and contracts would be In
state Of constant tluctuatiOn. They believe
that Il would Introduce new period Of specu-
latiOn and financial dishonesty
This coming chairman Of the Senate
judiciary committee, thus proceeds;
On the recent test vote where the attempt
TO put a provision for the free coinage of silver
upon an appropriation bill was defeated by q
majority OF seven-the vote being i34 TO l&-
only II Republicans voted in favor Of the pro-
vision and but seven Democrats voted against
II. Every Democratic vote In the house from
states south Of Mason and DlxsOn'S line was
for the measure.
In the Senate every Democratic vote but
three was given for this proposition to lower
the standard Of the currency while every Re
publican vote but 10 was given against II, And
yet to-day the danger Of the debased dollar
comes solely from the political action OF the
gentlemen who profess 10 be 80 earnest in their
opposition TO H. 30 they think when they have
introduced in the United States clipped consti-
tuition, q clipped manhood, a clipped suffrage

sentative 20 years in Congress.
Algornon s. Paddock, OF Nebraska,
went into the Senate in 1875. In 1881
he was succeeded by Charles III. Van
Wick. He succeeded Van Wyck in
1887 -12 years a Senator.
Henry M. Teller, Of Colorado, went

in 1897, but in the 20 years time he
was about 3 years in the cabinet OF
President Arthur as secretary Of the
interior.
Preston B. Plumb went into the
Senate in 1877 his Is years end in
1896.
The thirty-three Republican United
States Senators not named among the
foregoing have all come TO the SEN
ate since Senator Plumb was sworn
into Office.
With the waning power OF the Re-
publican party everywhere in the ma
tion, and Of necessity in the United
States Senate, il were no wonder that
the Senate has lost It's charms for
Senator Edmunds, and especially as
his influence is no longer potent with
his fellow Republicans II is we'll
that the Senator resigns at such time
that the people Of his state, holding
an election in September, may deter
mine who shall be his successor. Ina
recent interview Of quite considerable
length, when asked this quite perti-
nent question, for the time, "How is
the feeling Of unrest among certain
classes to be met" his response was
think II Is best 10 be met as every other dis
tuTbance in society ought TO be-by candid con-
sldeatOn, by correct information, just reason
ing and the enactment Of such laws as may fairly
appear to be prOmOtIve Of the general public
good. II is upon such considerations that every
government Of the people must be carried on.
It is evident that the Senator feels
that the Republican party is certain
OF defeat in the presidential campaign
of 1892.
IL might here be in order to
present some utterances made by
Charles Sumner in the United States

A FINANCIAL VICTORY.

There can be no doubt that the re-
cent contest in Kansas was purely and
solely a financial one. 1t was ques-
ton of sound, honest money or fiat,
stump-tail currency; it was a question
of honest liquidation or dishonorable
population; 1t was question the
whole outside world is interested In,
whether the majority Of the people OF
Kansas are willing to endorse PETER,
Simpson, Lease, clover and rag baby
money or throw them overheard. The
returns show that these people and the
principles they advocate are not en-
dorsed by majority of the people OF
Kansas. The returns show that the
largest gains made by the opposition
were made at the homes Of the famous
orators above mentioned. The re-
turns show that there has been an i'm
mense falling off in the Peoples party
and that the bittercst par'isans in the
old parties are willing TO throw aside
old prejudices in order TO assert the
honor and integrity of Kansas.
The defeat Of the sO-called Peoples
party in Kansas means better times, al
influx of emigration, a more liberal
circulation of money, higher prices for
farms and farm products, and sound,
substantial government. 1t means that
money can be obtained as cheaply
here as in any of the other states and
that evidences of debt will continue to
be recognized. 1t means that the wall
of calamity has been subdued and that
the credit Of our state and people will
continue 10 rise from This time on I'M
Ill it reaches the top notch. 1t means
that a citizen of this state can here
after, in any part Of The universe stand
M aud say. without blush OF shame,
al am Kansen."

terests, there has been no excuse for
the utterances of such wild, vision
AIRY schemers as PETER, Simpson and
Lease, or the adoption Of such delnsive
theories as the sub-treasury plan, gov
ernment ownership Of railroads AMI
the public warehouse system. The
farmers of the eastern and middle
states have denounced oil these
schemes and the only Roadway the
party has made In those states has
been In the large cities where for
eign element, impregnalcd with COM
munistic aud athestical ideas, FREEDOM
mates. Could our old Cherokee c0un-
~ farmers visit. one of the ward meet
ings or lodge meetings OF this crowd
in one of the large cities they would
be simply Mortified, and they would
hereafter vote with any party that
would keep that gang from ever OBJ
tanning control of the government.
We do not believe that the people OF
Kansas, in still holding on to their
"qucer" notions, are doing the best
that could be done for the state and
for themselves. The better class Of
emigrants generally want TO know
what sort of a community they are go
ing TO reside in, and if they are led TO
believe that majority of the farmers
in Kansas are in favor of turning the
government upside down and making
laws TO fit the craZed notions of every
lunatic in the party, they would as
soon think of going to Bedlam or Tex
as as Kansas. The better class OF EN-
igrants will not come unless they are
assured of protection to their lives and
property and that they can live as Sc
curely under the laws of Kansas as in
the states they ilnmigrate from.
The election retHrns show that the
people of other states take 10 stock
whatever in the Kansas plan of gov
ernment, and although these theories
may still prevail here, as a matter of
policy would it not be better 10 drop
the whole business and try for while
longer to get along under the cid gov
eminent and the old flag? II the
mountain will not come TO Mahomet,
Mahomet can GO to the mountain. We
are not only making ourselves the
laughing stock of the world, but we
are running ourselves by driving away
emigration and depreciating the price
of our lands and property. If we
must have new parties let us establish
them on sound financial and business
principles, and ifwe must have polit-
ical leaders let us seek them from
among the men of brains, honor and
integrity ana be no longer led by the
unprincipled and selfish demagogues
whose only aim is to ride rough shod
TO glory over the ruins of the best
state in the Union.

CHILDREN IN THE STREETS.

rhe sweetest sounds in the city wide
. Are those when the children shout and call
In the hollow streets at eventfde.
When the mellow western shadows fall;
They run and they jump,
They tumble and bump.
In the sounding streets in the evening time.
Many a time have tripped over Tot,
And broken my shins over Jacks and Jims;
But went on my way and needed it not,
s For the laugh of child Is the sweetest OF
hymns;
They scream and they shout,
And they scamper about,
In the joyous streets in the evening time.
But GROWERS that growl and bachelors old,
Cry out at the game and object to the din;
They snarl and complain, they croak and they
scold,
At the child who plays In the street-it's
sin.
Let them tumble and leap,
Like wee, wee sheep
In the sounding streets Of the evening time.
