Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1891-08-25

1t is claimed that the remnant Of
the Republican party, and the rem
nant of the Democratic party, will
fuse in at least six Of the districts
that elect district judges in Kansas
this fall. This of itself is enough
to prove the hypocrisy of the pre-
tended hatred that has been kept up
between these old hags during the
past years. 1t also proves that one
is just as much of an enemy to the
honest interest of the peoples as the
other, and that the would-be bosses
of both the parties are willing to
get down as low as it is possible to
get, in order to serve the corrupt
purposes of their masters in defeat
ing justice and downing the people.
1t also verifes the old maxim, that
"birds of feather flock together"

The Typographical Union Of
Cincinnati is drawing it's lines
rather fine, to make it impossi-
BILE for the Living Issue to exist
within the city, because it can't live
without the use of plate. The
Issue does not court a fight, but
would like an opportunity to live,
and should have it. --Nonconformist.
We wish to state right here that
the fight against the Living Issue is
most cowardly attack. The Liv-
ing Issue is published by woman,
and it is opposed to the beer and
whisky-guzzling gang. True, those
who are opposing the Living Issue
claim that they are fighting it be-
cause the paper uses plates, but a
poor excuse is better than none.
The same fellows who are fighting
the Issue say nothing against the
use of plate matter by the South
West, liquor paper. This boycott
is altogether too transparent. The
cloven foot sticks out too promi-
nently. The boycotters are lot of
guzzlers, and they don't propose to
let decent paper earn living if
they can help it.

IT is a notorious fact that the
men who are now opposing the land
loan and sub-treasury plan, and
comparing them to the scheme" of
the government loaning money to
the national banks, to the railroads,
and the ware-housing and storing of
goods for importers and distillers,
are men who never raised their
voice or pen against these
schemes" as long as they are only
granted to the corporations and
syndicates. Producers and labor
ing men, think it over a little.

The Bloody Shit.

The "bloody shirt" for cheapness
and durability, has never had par
allel in the political world. For
almost thirty years, the same gar
ment did excellent service. The
human gore did not need to be re-
newed, only in Imagination. If
rents were made, no repairing was
demanded ; no vast structure need
ed to be erected for it's storage. All
that was needed was to bring it
forth, and, figuratively speaking,
wave it from the eminence of every
Republican platform. Editors of
distinguished (?) county-seat papers
became, from long practice, experts.
Republican politicians enulated
each the other in the long, swing
ing motion incident to a graceful
wave. The gore on the "bloody
shirt" grew dim with age, and
hearts that furnished blood had
long since mouldered into dust.
Kansas breezes had made great
rents, but the Republican politician
believed as firmly in the old gar
ment as if blood dripped from every
fibre. Alas! the reign of the
"bloody shirt" is waning. 1t is no
longer potent to either win or hold
votes. A new era is dawning in
American politics. 1t is based up
on the brotherhood of man. The
nobler, the more God-like sentiment
of forgiveness is taking firm root in
the hearts of the masses. If the South
sinned, it suffered, and we only see
dead and crippled brave men, weep
ing women and children, and homes
laid waste by wars and havoc.

ACCORDING to the New York Sun,
a great famine is imminent in the
old world. The Suns report may
be sensational, but if true, the
hearts of the christian and the hu-
manitarian must bleed for the mass
es. Under the most favorable
circumstances, the sufferings of the
poor in Europe and Asia are, to the
comparatively well-fed American,
simply awful. According to figures
furnished by the Cincinnati Com
mercial Gazette, the absolutely
homeless in Great Britain are over
100, 900; the wretchedly poor, over
5000, 900. Now let there come
greater scarcity than heretofore,
and what will be the condition of
this vast multitude p? And yet
Great Britain is one of the most
favored of European countries.

"HOnest" John Sherman.

NHOneSC' JOnn Snermdus
Senator Sherman, Of Ohio, is out
in a letter to the people of Ohio, in
which he treats the silver question,
and the expansion of currency. Of
course an "honest" man cannot go
back on his record, and 80 this let
ter is defense of the measures Of
"Honest" John.
Mr.. Sherman assumes that the
"free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer" would result in no good to
anybody but the owner of silver
mines, and the fact that the people
are asking more currency, and are
not particular as TO whether it is
silver, or not, is ignored. Mr..
Sherman appeals to the farmers to
stand by MIN. He says: "My
greatest obligations have been to
the farmers of Ohio" How well
Senator Sherman has kept the trust
reposed in him by the farmers OF
Ohio is we'll known. When "Hon-
est John" set out on his political
career, he was poor man, and the
farmers of Ohio were prosperous.
Now John Sherman is said to be
worth twenty millions of dollars,
and the farmers are burdened with
debt, and forty-eight thousand of
them are tenants. John Sherman is
a national banker. He, as he ad-
mits, was under the greatest obliga-
tions to Ohio farmers but like
"honest" Jay Gould, no matter
what his obligation to others, his
greatest obligation was to himself.
The facts in the case tell their own
story. Banking under the financial
legislation of congress, Of which
Senator Sherman is head, beats
farming, all out of sight. There
are millions in "Honest" John
Sherman's business methods under
his honest (?) congressional finan-
cial measures. But for the farmer
there is bankruptcy and poverty,
deep and lasting.

AN eastern Republican organ says
that "Col. Bob Ingersoll concludes
that the Alliance party is only the
old Greenback party, revamped and
halfsoled." We are perfectly will
ling that Col. Bob have it that way.
Wonder if Col. Bob has concluded
that all that revamping and half
soling leather come out OF his and
the Democrat party to such an ex-
tent last fall that Ingalls, is now
bootless, and his party, which had
such a surplus on hand in 1888, is
now trying to re-vamp and half-sole
itself with the Democrat party rem
nant now in Kansas.

The enthusiasm of the Alliance
farmers of the South excels any
thing yet seen in Kansas. At
barbecue in Georgia, 5000 people
assembled, and 225 carcasses of
beeves, muttons, kids and fowls
were simultaneously set to roast.
Mr.. Livingstone, president OF
the state Alliance, and General
Weaver, of Iowa, made speeches,
and were wildly cheered. At
similar meeting in Texas, Senator
PETER and DR.. McCune were pres
ent. DR.. McCune was met at the
depot, and escorted to the speakers
stand, by vast throng of citizens.
Undoubtedly our southern brethren
are with us.

P0CoFn0l1Sms
When Wall street wanted to
down the old greenbacker, all it had
to do was to cry dishonesty"
The masses are not dishonest, and
the Greenback party was defeated
not because it was dishonest, but
because a subsidized press and
interested politicians made the
people believe that it was
dishonest. "Sumptuary laws"
scares many a voter away from
the party to which conviction
leads him. The "bloody shirt" in
times past, held many a voter in
line, who, in all else, was ready to
break away. Paternalism is the
latest scare-crow. AS used by poll
tisians, it has no place, and no
purpose, except to save the thought
less voter. In government like
ours, every good citizen agrees with
every other good citizen to assist
in protecting each the other, in life,
liberty, property and the pursuit of
happiness. In order to carry out
this agreement, persons are chosen
whose duty it is to carry out this
agreement. Rules of guidance, or
laws, are ordained, and persons are
chosen from time to time, to enforce
these laws, the whole community
consenting to bear share of the
expense, in the form of taxes. The
ability to acquire and hold property,
the protection to life, the meetings
Of the people for any purpose, the
establishment of free schools, In
brief, the engaging in any pursuit
not detrimental to others rests up
on, and is secured in, that agree
ment. If the people were to agree
to the ownership and operation of
railroads as common property, it
would not be departure from a
principle well established in our
government, and certainly the peo-
pie have as good right to protect
themselves against one form Of rob-
berry as another.

The western farmers interests have

The western farmers interests have
been wholly ignored in this much
vaunted Treaty of Reciprocity"
New England greed has found will
ing champion in the person of John
Sherman. Brazil is an agricultural
country, much more so than the U. S.,
as whole. The products of her
farms come here in competition with
the products of our farms, and the i'm
ports are paid for with New England
products. This reciprocity benefits
the few, and only the few. 1t is the
same old story,the discrimination, the
same soft snaps gwen TO "pets."

"HAvE you stopped to consider"
said a republican member OF the
assembly to a reporter of the Madl-
son Journal the other day "that all
the measures for reform were in
troduced on the republican side and
killed by the democrats during the
present session?n He then enumer-
ated the various railroad bills, the
antitrust bill, and the bill asking
the attorney general to give an
opinion as to the liability OF the
bondsmen of the state treasurer
when funds are loaned in violation
of law, all of which had been killed.
Not a reform promised by the demo
Gratis, he said, had been carried out.
With increased appropriations, a
long session and no reforms that
the democratic party has called for,
he thought the chances for the re-
publicaus two years from now very
bright.
