Subscribed and sworn to before
me, this, the 9th day of April, 1891.
j. A. MOORE,

Commission expires Sept. l, 1872.
The resolution that was passed by
the Kansas Reform Press Associa-
ton, and which passed unanimously
and with hearty cheers, was the fol-
lowing, which was introduced by
Jesse Williams, of the Alliance Her.
aid, Fredonia:
Resolved, That we pledge our
selves to the support of every meas
ure that shall tend to render justice
to the old soldiers, by the way of
service pension, and the making of
their pay in the service equal to that
of the bond-holder, Independent of
any political utilization, as we fully
believe soldier Legislation should be
handled independent of politics.
Here you have the facts in the
case-the only resolution that was
offered at the meeting of reform ed
itors at Hutchinson.
Reader, what do you think Of an
editor like the fellow who runs the
Interior Herald, who will degrade
himself and his paper by making up
lie, tout of whole cloth" in order
to create a prejudice against an OPP
ponent? But, then, the editor of
the Interior Herald is no worse than
the fellows who lied about the Cold
water Advocate, and refused to cor
rect it. They all belong to the same
gang of liars.

Only Two Pal ties.

Ed. AG1rAToR Is there a neces-
sity for two or more political par
ties such as we have had for thirty
years past, during which time these
two parties have had a fair trial, and
in great measure are found want
ing in fidelity to pure Democratic
or Republican principles of govern
ment. Let anyone take the finan-
cial legislation of congress since
1861, and he will be very dull in
deed if he does not see that it has
been in the interest of capitalists
and against labor; yet thousands of
laboring men are still in the old
party lines, supporting the old party
press that in great measure keeps
them blinded by party prejudices to
their true situation. But the eyes
of the people are being opened to
the true situation of things, and q
day of reckoning is at hand, and
many of those that have aided in
enslaving the people will be retired
to private life. The old politicians
seeing this are. using ways that are
dark, and tricks that are mean, to
hinder the great work Of the AL
lance. The policy of Wall street
is to keep the people diviedd as
near as possible, into two or more
parties. But in this they will fail,
as the people are being enlightened
and are renouncing party ties and
affiliations, and the sooner and more
thoroughly this is done, the better
it will be. No, says one, for while
l admit that the Alliance platform
is a good one, l see nothing wrong
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1891-04-07

I DO not know that the Republic
an party will always or even long
preserve it's courage, its moderation
and it's consistency. If it should
do 90, it will secure and save the
country. If it, too; shall become
unfaithful, as all preceding parties
have done, it will without sorrow
or regret on my part perish as they
are perishing. and will give rise to
another, truer and better one.
The above are the words Of VIM.
Fl. Seward when he left the Wing
party to join the Republican party.
We venture to say, if Seward were
living to-day, he would say with
out sorrow or regret" let 'er perish.
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1891-04-07

New York-the banker and bond
holders commenced the work OF
organization in 1861. After the
government issue Of paper money,
in about four days, there was held a
bankers convention in Washington,
D. c., consisting of four delegates
from New York banks, three from
Philadelphia and three from Boston.
They saw that the legal tender act
was friend to the people, so they
went to work, not to aid the gov
eminent, or befriend the people, but
to carry out their own selfish ends,
as the exception clause" was pass
ed February 25, 1892. This was
the beginning of a series Of finan-
cial acts essential to the perfection
of their plans.
England was the hot-bed of aboli-
ton sentiment against chattel sla-
very, and while at work to remove
this, they were busy devising ways
and means to inaugurate a system
of financial slavery far more CALLING.
Perhaps there is not a govern
ment in the civilized world that has
such oppressive financial laws as
our own so-called free America.
Here is a pointer.
AS a result of this class legisla-
ton for the few, against the many,
the national banks have made the
following profits during the past
twenty-five years
Interest on circulation, COM
pounded at 8 per cent, $2,Ol8,841,-
O73; interest on United States
bonds at 4 IL per cent, $3.50, AGO.
$50; interest on deposits at per
cent, $2,3O7, 247,O53; profits on
purchase Of bonds, $484, al. $50;
total SIS. 900, 649,S92. All this was
paid from labor. Is it any wonder
the producers want to get rid Of
this incubus, and that they demand
that the government issue legal
tender currency direct to the peo-
pie sufficient to do the business, and
at low rate of interest ?-Nation-
ell Economist, March 7.
Is it possible for equal rights to
be meted out to the laboring man,
under present conditions I say
down with all discriminating laws,
at all hazards the only peaceful
way is the ballot. Either the peo-
pie or the dollar is going to rule
this heaven-favored land of ours.
1t is for the people to say which.

being duly sworn, says:
That he is a member of the Re-
form Press Association that he
attended the meeting of said asso-
citation at the city of Hutchinson on
February "a, 1891; that he was
temporary chairman Of that meet
ing, and was afterwards elected its
secretary-treasurer for the ensuing
year that he was present during
the whole time of each session of
said association that ne has seen
in the Weekly Interior Herald, pub
lished at Hutchinson, Kansas, and
in the Topeka Capital, published at
Topeka, Kansas, certain resolu-
ton said to have been adopted by
the said Reform Press Association
referred to, of which the following
is a copy: %" '~
Resolved, That we condemn the
organization known as the Grand
Army of the Republic, organized
for the purpose of preying upon the
United States treasury and thereby
filching from the people in the form
of pensions, money not their due.
We also condemn the membership
of said organization for pressing
upon and demanding of the people
the right to hold Office and be rec
ognized as an active figure in the
politics of the country. The right
to vote we do not question, but
their right to dictate or suggest po-
litical action and political policy
we denounce, and we, the repre-
sentatives of the reform { Alliance)
press, do hereby pledge ourselves to
resist such presumption on the part
generally of the ex-union soldiers,
but especially of the Grand Army
of the Republic"
He further says that every line
and syllable of this resolution is
forgery; that no such resolution
was adopted or even introduced at
that meeting; and that no such SEN
timent was expressed by any men,
Der of the association at any time
during any of it's sessions. On the
contrary the association did pass
resolution unanimously and without
debate, pledging itself to the sup
port of every measure that shall
tend to render justice to the old
soldiers by way of service pensions,
and making the money in which
they were paid while in the service
equal to that which was and is paid
to the bond-holders.

that the financial Legislation of con

the many. Let the reader go back
to 1862 and take an even start with
the Hazard Circular, and ther
make careful survey of the finan
cial Legislation Of congress from
1861 till 1878, and he will have the
evidence before his eyes that con
gress carried out the suggestions Of
the Hazard Circular about as well
as the parliament, of England would
have done it. The Hazard Circu'
lar says it won't do to let the green
back, as it is called, circulate any
great length of time as money, fol
we cannot control it. It does not
say, you cannot control it, but 1--WE

upper and neither milestone the Ia
borer is being ground to powder.
1t seems to have been much easier
task for congress to have imposed
these burdens upon the people than
for them to pass any relief measures
for the benefit of the toiliing mass
es. But change is coming in some
way. If not, American liberty is a
thing of the past. The perpetual

our fathers fought in l776 is rest

Joined hands with the capitalists of
England, to fasten upon the Ameri-
can people the European financial
policy led on by England. With
that system fastened upon us, where

There is to-day a system of finan-
cial slavery far more calling than
chattel slavery ever was, and yet
thousands are landing the two old
parties to the skies, as tho only
guardians of the rights of the peo-
pie. Just as soon expect pack of
wolves to protect a flock of sheep
as to expect the money ghouls to
protect the rights of the people and
perpetuate the principles of pure
Republican government. This lie

dertaken to do, and in order that
