SENATOR PLUMB AS A POSSIBLE PRESI-
DENTAL CANDIDATE.

DENTAL CANDIDATE.
The Hutchinson NelUs, the Emporis
Republican and certain other Repub-
lican journals are having a tilt over
the merits of Senator Plumb as a
presidential candidate in 1892. The
Ne1rS says Kansas is a doubtful state,
and it believes the nomination Of
Senator Plumb is about the only
stroke of policy that could possibly
save it to the party. We would re-
mind the Ne,rs that Kansas has
passed far beyond the line of a doubt
full state. There is no doubt about it;
aud neither Blaine or Plumb or any
other Republican can carry it in 1892.
Senator Plumb does not occupy as
warm a place in the hearts Of Alliance
men as the NeacS imagines. He also,
unfortunately for his presidential as
pirations, has a public record, and
that is a dangerous commodity in
these times, as the experience of Mr..
ingalls,, will enable him to testify.
We do not propose to discuss that
record unless it becomes necessary;
but if it should we shall bess unspar-
ing as we were with the distinguished
ex-senator. No, Plumb will not
save Kansas to the Republican party.

The Republican utterly fails to ex-
tricate itself from the difficulty it has
unwittingly run into If during the
eight months that have elapsed since
the campaign Of 1890, Republican
journals have been discussing the
dogmas of the movement with vigor
and force that have made ravelings
of them," what was the meaning of
the editorial in which it was said
they had not done so, and unless
they should BEGIN at once they
would suffer another defeat9 And IL
fer eight months Republican jour
mails have been giving us the
logical argument which the Re
publican claims they have, and that
absolutely without effect, how is it
expected to accomplish in the future
what it has failed to accomplish in
the past? Again we ask the Repub-
6can to refer us to the date and
number of that journal in which any
attempt is made at argument upon any
Of the questions involved in the ALI
ance demands. Such a curiosity can
not be found; and the editor stands
convicted by his refusal to desig-
nate it.

HAVE THE WAGES BEEN REDUCEDg

Wehave received from J. w. Jones,
of Hutchinson, a letter calling in
question the reduction of wages OF
several protected industries as stated
in an article of j. D. Weiner, first
published in the Alliance Gazette
and reproduced in TIE ADVOCATE.
Mr.. Jones has written to some Of the
companies named and received re-
plies that wages have not thus been
reduced. These are the Trenton
pottery works, the Lowell spinners,
the Illinois coal companies, the
Buckeye reaper works and the Little
Falls Knitting company.
The figures referred TO, we believe,
first appeared in the New York
World. We do not know where Mr..
Weiner obtained them. II does not
matter. What the people want and
what we want is the truth, and par

ties who deny the statements made
are entitled to the benefit Of their de-
nial. We have given these questions
relating TO the tariff far more promi-
nence than in our Judgment they are
entitled to, simply to permit corres-
pondents TO present their views, to
the people. In our individual judg-
ment the question Of a high tariff, a
low tariff or no tariff at all is Of little
consequence in comparison with the
four great problems Of finance, land,
labor and transportation. II these
questions are properly settled by
needed legislation, the prosperity Of
the people will be assured, regardless
of anything pertaining to the tariff

REPUBLICAN ARGUMENT.

The official state paper is very much
stirred up over our declaration that
it has never offered any argument
against any OF the principles Of the
Alliance or the Peoples party. Pass
ing over all the invidious personal al
lusions in its editorial devoted to us,
We quote the following:
In his last number Of his calamity waller the
doctor states that the Capital has never uttered
an argument against an Alliance platform de-
In these columns that currency based on land,
the most iuctuatlng, In place of gold and silver,
the least fluCtuating money substances In the
world, would want the first element Of good
money, stability Of value; and In face Of the
demonstration Of the folly Of the sub-treaSury
scheme and of the Inconsistency Of that scheme
with the Especial privileges to none" motto.
In the face of the above declsra-
ton we repeat that the Capital has
done nothing of the character midi
Gated IN the above clipping; neither
has it attempted to do SO by any
other means than ridicule. The AD-
vocATE has repeatedly shown from
colonial history that the money of
that period based upon land was the
very best money in existence; and
that with it the colonies Aourished
and prospered as they never did be-
fore it's adoption or after its prohibi-
ton by the British Parliament. We
have given the testimony Of Hume
and Of our own Franklin to sustain
our position, and the Capital has
never attempted to gainsay that tes-
timony. A little experience is worth
a great deal of theory, especially
such theory as the Capital gives us
Again, in relation to the sub-treas-
ury bill, we have published the bill
IN the recent past together with some
of the arguments which its friends
rely upon for its support. Has the
Capital ever undertook to controvert
one Of those arguments? If so, in
what number? Again we say, the
Capital has never used any argu-
ment but ridicule and misrepresenta-
tion against these measures, and we
defy its editor to refer us to the num-
ber of the paper in which any other
can be found. We have his files for
some time past, and what we have
not, can be found at the state library,
and we shall be pleased to consult
these files for the argument to which
we may be referred. The trouble
with Hudson is that he doesn't know
logical argument when he sees one,
much less is he capable Of construct
The advocate., 1891-07-01

The Pittsburg Kansan says If it
has published any Of The ADvooATE's
editorials without credit it is through
inadvertancy. All right. We accept
the apology. Don't do 80 any more.
The advocate., 1891-07-01

SENATOR PETER is spending a few
days at his home. He desires us to
say to the people of Kansas that he
would be pleased TO remain with
them for time, but the demand for
work in other states, where the need
is greater than in Kansas, is SO great
that he cannot do 80. He intends to
return so as to be present at the Con-
gressional district meetings in Sep
tember.

DON'T ROCK THE BOAT.

of its perpetuity? Do we believe
with Mr.. Ingalls, that last analysis
brings up on bayonets? Do we not,
with clearer, higher vision, see that
bayonet force is of all things least
enduring and most trescherous, and
that the only sure foundation is built
of trustfulness, of brotherly love, of
confidence, of faith in man and faith
in the eternal good.
We are approaching a crisis which
will test our great American expert
ment in popular government as it has
never before been tested. We are
even now embarked in the great
boat, Reform, and are rapidly near
ing deep water. 1t is a most solemn
time. Not all of the sailors have
large vision Of the great open sea OF
industrial freedom whittier our boat
is headed, hence not all are careful
Of their every move nor feel the deep
responsibility of steady service, pa
tient mood, and even temper. God
help us; what wreck if we rock our
boat and go down down among the
wrecksge of those other struggles
of past time. What agony! What
bitter strife before that next upward,
onward effort-sure sometime to sue
ceed! But we need not have failure
this time. A great hope is with us,
and there is hardly such word as
fail.
We are, however, very near that
time when our enemies are not our
greatest danger. We are close upon
some Of those rocks which all history,
especially that supremely tragic
struggle, the French revolution,
teaches us made final wreck OF the
Unnamed boats of reform.
At the very hour when unity Of Of
fort, based on faith in the crew and
confidence and trust in the comman.
ders, would have carried the boat
bounding along, the rocks Of suspi-
cion and distrust did their deadly
work.
1t ought not to be very hard for
old Greenbackers to believe that the
all-essential things are faith and
trust. Even as the only safe money
is based on the credit of the govern
ment, on the belief that men will be
true to agreement, SO is the only
safety of our reform cause based upon
a prevalent temper of trust and con-
fdence.
Whatever tends to create an atmos-
phere of suspicion is of all things
most dangerous.
The masses of the people are now
sufficiently aroused; they are quite
adequately alert for spies and trait
ors in camp. Let our writers and
speakers beware how they chafe and
infame an already over-sensitive pop
ulace.
An epidemic Of suspicion would be
