WILL BEG NO MORE.

Since the alliance has developed into
full-hedged party, with such great
strength and growing capacity, both of
the old parties are becoming more re-
spectful, and both are making great
promises of what they will do for the
dear people. The people begged and
petitioned for twenty years, but no at
tention was paid to them. Self-preser-
walton demanded united action, and
the movement grew so rapidly that 1t
astonished theworkers in the cause and
has bewildered its opponents. Now
the people are in a position to command,
and they do not propose to beg any
more. Once boy was found up In an
apple tree, stealing fruit. The owner
of the tree begged the boy to come
down; he reasoned with him, but the
boy only laughed. The old man threw
few clods, but the boy only placed his
thumb to his nose and vibrated his fin
gers in an exasperating manner. Then
the old man fired few stones at the
conceited boy, who suddenly changed
his mind, and came down and begged
the old mans pardon. Last year the
people began voting for what they want
ed; they are highly satisfied with the
result of the experiment, and will not
abandon it this year. This fall the peo-
pie will make clean sweep of Kansas
and elect an alliance senate to work fol
the people. The movement is spread
ing over the east, as it has already
spread over the west and south. Every
victory in Kansas, Nebraska or Geor-
gia lends aid to the movement in Mary
land and Pennsylvania. Then up with
the flag; stop all pickering; steady
front forward march

Capt. Brown said:

capt. brown SAID:
Tariff protection is the ground work of cur
party. Commencing under Washington with
per cent. it moped at .snails gait for so
years. All this time it was called a tax. The
republican party proved that it was not tax.
and raised it TO so per cent. Blaine, Eyarts,
Allison and many other great leaders call it a
tax: but they must quit it or get out of the
party. The Chicago platform struck the key
note to this renowned question. / am still on
that platform with both feet Harrison was
elected on it. That declaration will live in the
hearts of the people when the Alliance and all
they do is dead and forgotten / wish ] could
thunder it into the ears of every voter in Kan
sas. Hear it; write it down, and never forget
il; and remember it was the Chicago platform
on revenue. The republican party would
effect all Reeded reductions of the national
revenue by repeating the taxes on tobacco,
which are q burden to agriculture. You see
the reduction is to come of of the farmer.
When Harrison was elected confidence was re-
stored, and English capital poured into this
country as it never did before. When Mr..
Morton opened his saloon in Washington il
meant protection. Then England sent her
| gold to buy our breweries by the millions, as
she never did before. Our Iarty never asked
| for tree sugar, and it will be dear sugar to the
republican party. Let us get back and take
the taxes Oft tobacco. PAUL PRY.

The CTesset asks us to name some
article of home manufacture, of COM
mon use, that is protected, which is
not cheaper now than ever before. 1t
then specifies farm machinery, hard
ware, articles of common apparel, etc.
These are the very articles we would
name, and we now name them as
classes. We manufacture farm ma
chinery, send it to Europe and sell it
there for less than it is sold here at
home. We manufacture plenty of cheap
clothing, but the tariff keeps out all
competition, and our cheap clothing
costs just about double what it would
cost If the tariff were off. Weare max
ing hardware, cutlery, ETC., and selling
it i'll Manchester, England, for less than
it Is selling in New York. This kind
of prohibitory tariff, while doubling the
cost to the consumer, does not put one
cent into the treasury of the United
States. But it is standard republican
politics.

ProtectiOnlsts tell us that protection
enables manufacturers to pay increased
wages. So it does enable them, but il
does not compel them to do so. We
have now before us a list of manufac-
tories, employing $4,000 men, who are
on strikes at this very hour, against re-
ductions in their wages. We were told
that if Harrison were elected wages
would be increased, and all workmen
would have steady work. Will the
Cresset tell us why the factories are
cutting wages, two years after Harri-
sons election?

The railroads have so far refused to
give reduced rates to western delegates
To attend the Cincinnati convention.
They are giving reduced lates to north
ern and southern delegates. The roads
desire to have the convention controlled
by southern delegates, thinking that
they are opposed to third party, while
the western delegates would favor a
third party. The western men will re-
member the railroads. Any little one
horse picnic can get reduced rates in
ten days notice, it fifty tickets are
sold, while a great political convention
is to be snubbed. Again we say, we
will find way to squeeze the water out
of the railroads.

Jerry Simpson made hit among the
old soldiers by speech delivered before
meeting of John A. Logan command,
union veterans at Washington, last
week, advocating the payment by the
government of the difference between
the value of the greenbacks paid the
soldiers during the late war, and the
value of gold at that time. He called
attention to the almost forgotten fact
thatGen.S Scott had promised the soldiers
that the dollars they received would be
redeemed in gold, and said that now,
while so many newspapers were pratt
ing about the honest dollar. was a
good time to make those dollars re.
ceived by the soldiers honest.

The Cresset has queer idea of the
meaning of the word "craw6sh." II
standing out, and defying all opposi-
ton, is to "crawfish," then we are
guilty. We hereby re-affirm all we
haye ever SAID on the tariff question,
and especially all we said on the sugar
question. We have nowhere to 90 when
we ''crawfish' from our platform. The
Cresset says, speaking of sugar, 1.-THE
removal of the tariff necessarily cheap
ems it just the amount of the reduction
in the tariff, to the consumer" That's
news. We would be glad to put it in
big type as being very important; but it
is not true. The tariff of two cents a
pound has been removed. How much
reduction does the consumer get? He
gets the difference between fourteen
pounds for one dollar. and sixteen
pounds for one dollar, or two pounds
of sugar. Two pounds Of sugar, at six
teen pounds to the dollar. is worth 81
cents a pound. The consumer there
fore gets 124 cents worth of
sugar, or 12a per cent. reduction. The
. refner now buys 40 pounds of sugar for
one dollar, and he formerly paid dol
lor for twenty-five pounds. lie gets a
As per cent. reduction. He gives the
consumer the benefit of l2a per cent.
and he pockets the other 32i per cent.
The Cresset is even behind its contem-
poraIies on this subject. They now ac-
knowledge that the refineri is getting too
much, and they want the wholesale
dealer to get a larger share of the
profit.

Topeka Capital: Various papers
are in error as to Prof. Canield's sal
airy having been increased to prevent
his accepting the presidency of the Uni
versity Of Illinois. Prof. Garfield was
offered the presidency of the University

erence TO his salary here. Tie board
increased his salary $500 year, making
is what Chancellor Shows was before
his promotion, and did it in view of the
extraordinary services which Prof Can

it may be noted that the New York
Post announces that Prof Garfield will
deliver the commencement address this
year at the University of Nebraska, and
also at Kenyon college, Ohio. .

The Cresset wants to know of some
articles of home production, and OF
common use, which are higher by being
protected. We mention wooden goods
of all kinds, 40 per cent; cotton socks
so per cent; common clothing about
100 per cent; every button about so
per cent. This tax robs the people,
and does not add to the revenue OF the
government, because it is prohibitory.

The tariff was put on sugar to raise
money to carry on the war. That was
all right. But why keep it on for TWEEN
ty five years after the war was over,
and while the country was raising more
revenue than we needed? 1t was even
proposed to take the tax off of whisky
and tobacco, but it was kept on sugar;
and is now being kept on sugar, for the
benefit of the refiners.
