SOME of our merchants are issuing
domestic currency-or local money.
j. W. Bronston, one Of our leading
merchants, is one Of the first to
adopt this kind of circulating me-
dium. The idea is q good one, and
should become general. The use Of
these "shinplasters' (that is what
they are) by our merchants is an ac-
acknowledgement that there is not
enough money in circulation. 1T is
based upon the credit-the good
name-of the persons issuing it. If
firm or corporation can issue mon
ey upou its credit, why cannot the
government do the same? If the
people are willing to accept individ-
ual scrip (paper money! as money
in q locality, we see no reason Why
they should not be willing to accept
paper money issued upon the credit
of the government. Reader, think
this over.

find fault with our brethren of the
Non Con-, for they have fought a
good fight. They are brave-courag-
eous-and did world of good, and
we are sorry to see them take such
long step backward. tits useless
to say that woman suffrage is a mi
nor issue-it is not. 1t is an issue
that must be met. If our party
does not meet it, we make sad
mistake.

The refusal of the Kansas legisla-
ture to appropriate money for the
militia shows their good sense. The
people pay tax and corporations use
the militia to shoot down the labor
er when he demands redress for his
grievances. The best protection
that this country could have would
be a thrifty lot of laborers, with
families and free homes, where they
could enjoy the pursuits of happi-
ness as they choose, where "none
dare modest or make afraid. AL

LAST weeks Lantern, of Ft. Scott,
contained one of the best cartoons
we ever saw. To the left stands .
banker and Republican politician
John j. Stewart perfect picture
of health, who draws a pension of
twelve dollars per month. To the
right stands on his stumps) leg
less old soldier-Jesse Crosson-of
Hammond, Kas. who draws sal
ary of FOUR dollars per month. Ex-
treme poverty has compelled him to
make application for admission to
the soldiers home. We would like
to see every Union soldier draw a
pension, but would liks to see things
evened up a little, at least. But,
you see, the banker and politician
has political influence, while the
poor man without legs hasn't.

DEAR SIR: With this l send you

can find time to read marked arti-
cles, it will show you the hold cap
ital has on labor, even in that new
and distant land. get papers
from Australia every month. l
lived there ten years-from 1858 to
1S63-consequently l take an inter-
est in reading of the reform pro-
gress in that country, as we'll as
elsewhere.
Ex-Chief Busheyhead, of this ma
ton, told me last week, that Fletch-
er Meridith, editor of Interior
Herald, Hutchinson, Kas., became
q member of the Farmers Alliance,
at Talequah, this nation, last De-
cember or January. You and all
can guess for what purpose, as we
know his sympathies do not run in
reform directions.
Yours fraternally,
THos. HOWE,
Vinita.
Our county president, E. A. War
rem, of Vinita, verifies Mr.. Bushy-
heads statement, as he was in Tale
quah at the time. II.

We are sorry to see the Noncon-
formist adopt the Republican plan
of abusing those who do not believe
as it does. For instance, it throws
out several ugly flings at Mrs. Gou-
gar because she exercised her right
to refuse to act as one Of the secre-
taries of the Peoples national com.
mittee, and gave as her reason that
she wanted no connection with such
individuals as Brewer Burkhauser.
Mrs. Cougar had right to do and
say Just what she did. She is just
as honest in her convictions as are
the editors Tor rather the associate
editor, Wilkins, of the Noncon-
formist. Furthermore, Mrs. Gou-
gar is one of the grandest women in
America, and is recognized by the
foremost reformers as one of the
ablest speakers and writer's of this
country. After she had finished
her little speech, T. V. Powderly
walked down the long aisle, grasp
ed her by the hand and commended
her for her bravery. Hon. Gilbert
Delamater also commended her for
that speech, as did others. If such
men could see nothing wrong in
her actions and speech, the satirical
Nonconformist writer should hold
his tongue or his pen-and not
fall into the manners and customs of
foolish Republican editors. Anoth-
er thing we wish to speak of in this
connection is an item in the Non
conformist, to the effect that it was
proper and right that the conference
sat down ON woman suffrage. Our
good brothers should remember that
to two or three women, more than to
anything else, is due the credit
for the defeat Of the Republican

ELSEWHERE will be found a letter
from John J. Ingalls,, in which he
gives the Republican editors little
wholesome advice but his advice
comes too late. The Republican
editors should have known what he
has stated, long ago I; but, like In
gals, they were blind. The people
are onto all of their schemes to
catch votes. They have received
promises without number from the
Republican press and party, but the
promises were not fulfilled ; 80 they
(the people, have lost all confidence
in the p. o. p. (promising old party).
As we before stated, Mr.. Ingalls,
advice comes too late.
