COMMISSIONER RAUM reports that no
pension legislation is needed this winter.
This is indeed pleasant news to the tax
burdened people of the country. There
should be some, however. unles il he pro-
posed to retain upon the pension
list the names OF all the dcsrrtcrs
and dishonorably discharged soldiers
whom the billion dollar congress en-
rolled besides the names of deserving de-
fenoers Of the union. In justice to the
faithful soldier the pension list should
be purified.

TUE Pcnrose murder case is again be.
fore the courts at Butte, but npon new
information. The indications strongly
point to a change Of venue for reasons
stated in the T~RIBrNE's Butte special.
The examination of the defendants oc-
cupied seven weeks. The trial will.
probably, occupy a greater length of
time as many new witnesses. among
whom are the detectives who caused the
arrest of the accused, will be upon the
stand. Some sensational developments
will be made during the trial for it has
been whispered that both the prosccu-
ton and defense have some heavy bat
teries in reserve. The TRIBUNE will en-
deavor TO keep its readers posted upon
the more prominent points which will
be presented in what promises to be the
most important if not the most scnsa-
tiOnal murder trial evcr heard in the
state.

INE .Avant Courier starts an editorial
paragraph with the assertion that Tom
Power 'scems to have put his foot in it,
$ o to speak, on the silver question It
then takes the ground that "thc pro-
posed coinage of silver is Il local PROPOSE
ton Ii expresses the opinion that
Power is no mans fool' and then owl
ishly cXclaims: 1.-THE republican party
is greater, more extensive, than the
Rocky mountains, and it has not yet de.
clared in favor of the free and unlimited
coinage OF silver. At the same time il
would hardly do to say that any promi-
ncnt capitalist, mine operator or aspiring
politician in Montana is u%nfavorable to
the free and unlimited coinage of the
present silver dollar The above. of
course is the ~vcriest rot, but in it's wab-
bling the Courier comes about as ncar
expressing an opinion upon silver coinage
as has its state republican contempora-
rics during the past year or two. They
are all as clear as mud in their comments
on the metal and as decided in their
views as the tickle goddess herself. They
are on the fence ready TO throw them
selves whore their next Years national
platform points.

y HiGn protective tariff always has
and always will breed smuggling. Be
fore Great Britain repealed or modified
her tariff laws her coasts swarmed with
smugglers. and it cost that country more
to head OF smugglcrs than the duty on
all the smuGgled articles came to. The
Mckinley tariff has bred a stalwart crop
Of smugglers. Their operations are uot
confined to our northern boundary line
but the Rio Grande is infested with
them. The night workers find a profit
able business in surreptitiously bringing
goods into the country on which a duty
of 100 to 300 per cent is levied. The il
licit traffic is growing and reaching pro
portions which will require "a large army
to suppress. This is one of the legiti
mate fruits Of Mr.. McKinley's pet meas
urr.

IT is amusing to note the haste with
which republican journals profler their
advice to the new house as to the way
its members should transact their lcgisla-
ii, e business. There is an old adage.
applicable in this case, about the odor of
proffored or unasked services or advice
which advice offering republican journals
may recall.

Dr.. McGLyNN, having been offered an
opportunity to square himself with his
church, has decided to adhere to his
anti-poverty doctrines, thus deepening
the gulf which separates him from his
brothers. AS the pope has recently con
demned the peculiar doctrines of the
doctor the latter may be regarded as a
seceder from the church of his fathers.

QUESTION AND ANSWER.

The question is often asked. ant
honestly asked: "Supposc the protective
duty on imported goods were reduced
would not our country be flooded witt
foreign manufactures. and our own in
dustrial establishments be forced tC
shut down and turn off their armies OF
employees to become idlcrs and tramps:'
This Is Il fair question as well as a nat
ural and pertinent one and deserves {
Fair nswcr. The question, of course. If
based upon the assumption that we can
not manufacture goods as cheaply as
they are made abroad That idea has
obtained a very stloDg hold upon the
people and makes many Of them high
protcctionists. Now the TEIHvHr ven
lures to say there are few if any articles
III common use those we commonly call
the naccsearics Of life which cannot be
made or produced quite az chcaply here
as elsewhere.
I'll" history Of the G]uiniHc duty will
serve as an illustration. There was q
very heavy duty on this medicine down
to 1873. The wholesale price OF it was
500 IN ounce, that is three tunes its
weight in silver. The duty was an cS
c~ossicr tax upon the people and they de
mandci It's repeol. Finally a bill was
introduced in congress for that purpose
and the five firms in the country en-
gagged in lis manufacture set up q howl
against it, declaring they could not
make it without protection: that if the
duty were removed cheap q@uinine
would be imported from Europe, and
they would be- compelled to close down
their q|uininc mills, thor workmcn
would become impoverished: that they
the manufacturers would be ruined
and the industry ever lost to the coun-
try. That argument would have pre-
vailed with the last congress-. but
the congress of 1873 didn't seem to take
any stock in it. Probably the q@uin,nc
men failed to contribute to the republi-
can corruption fund. and were not good
as a t-friers at elections were the reasons
ear was not given to their protests. Be
this as it may they were not needed and
the duty was taken Off. Now note the
result.
The repeal Of the tariff was an invita-
ton to the world to come to this country
with its q~uininc and sell the article in
open market. This was nearly thirteen
years ago. And now we ask the ques-
tions: Have our quIninc mills closed up
shop: Have their owners been bank
Have their workmcn been
turned out To swell the army of oilers
and tramps: Nothing Of the kind. The
very contrary has taken place. Quininc
has fallen from $3.50 an ounce to less
than fifty cents an ounce; the number of
q~uinine mills has more than doubled.
keep on making it at a profit and
is more surprising, instead of
Europe sending us quinine. we actually
export 1t to that country and it pays to
do il. And what is true of quininc is
true Of about every other article we
in the country. Lower the
duties and then it will be seen how soon
manufacturers will double their
double the number of their work
men and export their outputs at a profit.
High protection is a cruel deception.

MEXICO AND CANADA.

The trade relations of the United
States with Mexico and Canada are not
likely to be materially affected by the
reciprocity clause OF the Mckinley bill.
Minister Ryan has been trying to make
a reciprocity treaty with the former but
he admits he has small hopes of affecting
one as the Mckinley tariff does little or
nothing toward smoothing the way
toward It. The Mcyican authorities may
lower the duties on live stock, flour and
grains. but they won't let of a cent on
wooden and cotton goods which are al
most wholly imported from England.
She makes 80 little surplus sugar that a
free market for it is no inducemrnt for
her to base a reciprocity treaty on that
article. Mexico is a little warm over the
United States taxing her ores and will
doubtless refuse 20 enter into amy recip-
rocaI trade relations that do not con
template the free admission OF her ores.
A. far as Mexico is concerned rpcirrOc
lily is Il failure.
Little or nothing can De done with
Canada. The productions Of that and
ihir country are so nearly alike that it
may be said the one duplicates the other.
Any treaty looking to the free admission
Canadian soil products or Canadian
would be mrt with Il protest all
the line of The northern states by
and manufacturers. Canada
ike Mexico is too neal to us for Il reel
treaty to be OF material hcneli,
q the parties concerned.

Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1891-07-21
SectiOnaIisnl.

A gentleman whose home is in
Iowa, but who spent some seven
months in Texas, recruiting his
health, visited near Welda, recent
ly, and while an ardent Republican,
admitted, without hesitation, that
the Farmers Alliance, and the third
party movement would break down
sectionalism. The gentleman
opinion may not be worth anything,
but it is certain that there is al
ready better feeling growing up,
between people of northern and
southern states-that the hates en-
gendered by, or growing out of the
war, are rapidly dying out-that
man is part savage, who can wish
for longer continuance of the war,
sectionalism and bitterness. Let
the dead past be forever buried.
Let the people of the north and
south, not only shake hands across
the bloody chasm, but let that
chasm, that has yawned for so long,
and been purposely kept open by
politicians, be filed with generous
and noble deeds in which the people
of both sections can fully cooper
ate. The Alliance is not ashamed
of the doctrine that, as far as it's
influence extends, there shall be no
north, no south, no east, no west
but one grand brotherhood of toll
ing freemen, who earn their bread
by the sweat Of their brows, and
who owe supreme allegiance only
to the common Father-God.

The Peoples Party and the
Offices.

The securing Office is only a
means to the end and the offices
belong to the people No party,
and no set of men, in any sense,
necessarily have lien upon the
offices. The whole people are inter
ested, but not in the same way as
the office-holder. The office-holder
receives salary; the people fur
nish the money to pay that salary.
The chief concern Of the people
should be to secure fitness The
office-holder should be honest and
capable He performs certain du-
ties. The people pay fixed salary,
and that ought to be an end to it, so
far, at least, as the filling of Offices
and paying the salaries are concern
ed; and if all the people were right
minded, and could all see alike, that
would be all there is to it. But
people are wrong-minded; people
are selfish so much 80 that great
party organizations are used to ad
vance the interests of only few
men. In such cases new parties
become absolutely necessary. The
Peoples party is necessity. 1t
was not organized to grasp the
Offices, but to change the whole pol
icy of our government. To do this
it is necessary to secure the offices,
because prestige strengthens the
movement. The Peoples party will
make the effort to secure the county
Offices. 1t will put up only good
men, and it will be broad in its Sc
lections. In the new party, old
party lines are obliterated-old par
ty prejudices are forgotten. The

Andrew Carnegie.

And now comes Andrew Carne-
gle, the great iron manufacturer,
and sixty times a millionaire, and
being duly put upon his veracity
declares in very lengthy paper OF
the epistolary character, that if the
United States did not stick to a
gold standard, it would go with
headlong speed to the demnition
bow-wows. Of course Mr.. Carne-
gle has been widely quoted. All
the papers, big and little, Democrat
ic and Republican, religious and
some not religious, threw the col
umns of their papers wide open to
Mr.. Carnegie. Of course Mr.. Car
negie did not come down SO low as
to even consider the question of a
paper currency, but confined him
self and the battering-ram of his
great intellect to butting silver.
Mr.. Carnegie is 80 distressed at
the thought of free coinage of sill
yer, and gets so terribly worked up
that he goes so far as to say that he
is Republican and in favor of the
Mckinley bill, but he would rather
give up the Mckinley bill and take
up the Mills bill than give up the
gold standard. He even goes fur
ther, for he continues, that he would
even vote for free-trader and gold
rather than the highest protection
and free silver. Mr.. Carnegie,
figuratively speaking, throws his
sixty million arm around gold and
embraces it, and pats its golden
head. He even eulogizes Mr.
Cleveland, because Mr.. Cleveland is
also friend of gold, but with all
Carnegie's golden wisdom, he
makes one mistake. He says that
gold is the peoples money. Now
Mr.. Carnegie cannot mean the COM
mon people. 1t may be that Car
negie does not consider that farmers
and laborers are people 1t may be
that he has never been down from
his golden heaven long enough to
know that there is "wild and
west, where the people
never see gold, and never hear of it
only when IL goes skipping
off to the golden heaven of
Europe. 1t may now be said that
the silver question is settled. We
will now have gold as money, visi-
Die or invisible, but mostly invisi-
Die, at least to the common people.

Mortgages and state Credit.

The plutocratic press is very anx-
ious to have the mortgage question
drop; or at least to have false
impression obtain as to the real
condition of homes in Kansas. One
of the reasons given by the old par
ty organs is that the statements of
the Peoples party are lnjurlng the
credit of the state. Now the credit
of the state. in the long run, cannot
suffer if the truth is fairly present
ed. If the plutocratic press would
tell the truth and Join with reform
ers in devising a remedy for the
mortgage evil, solution of the
trouble could be much easier reach
ed. Of course, it is useless to ex-
pect party and press owned by
the money power to engage in a
fair and full investigation, or to own
that the people are in as bad con-
dition as represented by the reform
press. Plutocracy puts its trust in
ignorance and credulity. If once
the people become thoroughly en-
lightened, goodbye, not only old
party, but goodbye to the systems
of robbery and spoliation, SO fully
inaugurated, and so strongly in
trenched in our financial and COM
mercial world.
Plutocracy always forgets, or at
least pretends to, that the common,
or working, people are the most i'm
portant part Of state. The fail
ure of bank or two, or a business
firm, often creates breeze of no
small proportions in plutocratic cir
cles, but a whole community of
farmers may fail, and for anyone to
even mention it, much less apply a
remedy, is daring presumption, and
if certain parties had the power,
some of the leading reformers would
be brought to the gallows or blown
up with dynamite. When the truth
is finally brought out, the credit of
the state will be all right /; but the
credit of as grand a lot of scoun-
drels as over plundered long-suf-
fering humanity will be hurt; and
maybe that is one of the reasons
why the g. o. p. press is so anxious
for the credit of the state. The
plutocratic press may howl the
people of Kansas are, thank God,
still free, and they will go on with
the investigation until the iniquity
of pretended friends is fully expos

We stepped into the store of one
of our leading merchants, yester-
day, and asked him, How's busi-
ness awful dull" said he;
lawful dull" Why, what's the
matter !? "Well," said he, "the
fact of the matter is, there's no
money in the country" That is
just what we have been telling the
people for some time. When a Re-
publican business man admits that
what we have said is true, we begin
to believe there is some hope for his
salvation. They all know we have
stated facts, but they are, generally,
so stiff-necked that they won't ad-
NIT it. They are gradually "com-
ing to their milk" however, and we
are glad of it.
