PEFFER OK MONEY

The Kansas Farmer believes that the
members OF the legislature are men OF
nerve as we'll as OF brains They know
that the interests Of this bountiful state
OF ours, With all glorious history, is
In their keepin hat the farmers Of
Kansas, and the ihanics and the la
borers and the 6ing masses general
ly with the merchants and legitimate
traders, will in future govern here.
The day Of the politician is past.
Money Will be dethroned Ifthe light
is 10 be forced, we, the people, are ready
Tor II. II we cannot do better we can
let our homes go and we can afterward.
when money becomes plenty and cheap.
which II will In few years, buy our
homes back again and have plenty OF
time In which 10 pay for them. We
have made up our minds that the rule
oi the money power In Kansas is 10 end
That the politician is TO be relegated 10
the rear, and that the people them
selves 10 take care OF their own inter
ests. The Kansas Farmer, speaking
for the farmers of the state, declares
openly 10 the word that the people are
honest people, they are farmers and are
workers. they haze no sort OF disposi-
tion 10 get rid Of any just obligatin,
they want TO pay every debt that they
owe, and they want to pay II according
10 the letter and the spirit OF the con-
tract. They do not ask for any abate-
ment What they do want is money
18th which 10 pay their debts. and they
want IL at a rate which they can afford
TO pay. Let IL be known that at 70
o'clock on any day that money could be
obtained at a convenient place with
which TO pay the debts now due. the
sun OF the next day would not have
passed beyond the horizon before every
debt would be paid. But we ask for
money and we are refused-refused by
our national legislature. composed OF
men charged with taking care OF the
public interests. We are refused by
the very men who have negotiated the
loans which are pressing US now. We
are denounced es repudiators
when all the world knows that
1t is absolutely impossible for
US TO either pay or renew
When the legislature proposed that the
debtor should have a little time In
which TO recover from misfortunes. he
is simply applying the law OF self-pres. 4
ervatiou. He Is asking for what all the
world knows he needs. He wants n
save his home while he paws his debts. |
1t does not seem TO him Just that the |
creditor should have all and he moth. |
ing Briefly, what the people of Kan.
sas want is something with which 10
pay their debts. II this is Reputation. /
let the world understand IL. II tbei
money-changer proposes to begin a war
OF devastation upon the debtors. he will /
soon discover that the power Of the peO- I
pie IS irresistible. These gentlemen
ought 10 take warning from the signs
Of the times. The public mind is fever.
ish. Conservative, deliberate iudg.
ment prudent action, wise counseis are
necessary, and they will all be EN-
ployed In the line Of progress as we 20
along. Let It be understood, however.
that these virtues viii be exercised in
the interest Of the toilers and builders.
