New York Herald.
A vain attempt has been made by
party newspapers to prove that the
farmers of the west are enjoying a
very picnic of prosperity under the
beneticent high tariff regime.
But this is the kind of story which
Mrs. Lease, of Kansas, told to a
Washington audience. She said:
''Twenty-five years ago the women
came from the East to this land.
They came with roses in their cheeks
and the fire of hope in their hearts.
Leaving behind them all that was
near and dear, they turned their ia
ces toward the new and untried west.
Here we endured loneliness and priva-
tions. Children were born to us and
our babies lie buried beneath the sods
of the wild prairies.
"To day we are being robbed of
our homes by the infamous system of
mortgage foreclosures. AS many as
500 families have been turned out in
a week We are evicted from our
homes that represent the toll of the
best years of our lives.
"Do you wonder that we join the
Farmers Alliance and the Knights of
Labor? l wonder how any mother
in Kansas can stay out. In them we
have the greatest promise made since
John the Baptist heralded the COM
ing Of One who would relieve the
world of it's misery"
There must be some mistake about
this. We have the word OF Republi-
can bosses that this country was
never in such a contented condition
as now, and they ask for new lease
OF power in order to insure the per-
manency OF the peoples happiness.

which is $347 900, 600 less than the
mortgaged Indebtedness. But it. is
known that the assessed valuation
does not average over one-half what
the property could be sold for even in
this time of depressed valuation, SO
that we may reasonably say that the
mortgages of Kansas property now
own the State. Most OF the mortga-
gees, including substantially all the
owners of railroad stocks and bonds,
livein the eastern States or in Europe,
and are practically absentee land
lords. 1t ought to be evident that
the people of Kansas are not going
to be able to pay their enormous in
debtedness and own their property,
railroads included, free of debt, with
out a very radical change in the
monetary system of the country, a
change that cannot be had without
cutting loose from the specie redemp-
ton limit of paper currency.-Em-

Stanford's Loan bill, fully carried
out, would give one billion or more
to railroads. another billion or more
to alien land-grabbers, and (roughly
estimated) another billion or two to
other land-grabbers. Yet pretended
"labor" and Alliance papers that are
bowling about a billion-dollar Con-
gress are silent concerning or advo-
cate the Stanford bill. Talk about a.
"billion-dollar Congress!' Why, a
Stanford Congress would not stick
at five times the amount.-Ex.
The Financial Situation of Kansas.
The State auditor of Kansas re-
ports that the railroad mileage of
the State, S,755 miles. is capitalized
at $456,719, 900 OF which 1929, 54S,
900 is in bonds and $227,171 900 in
stock, but as the people are expected
to pay dividends on stock AS we'll as
interest on bonds the whole burden
OF this capitalization rests on their
shoulders the same as bonded debt.
An eX-member Of the board of rail
road commissioners of Kansas has
informed us that in his Judgment
nine-tenths OF this entire $456, 900
900 of railroads securities is wholly
"watered," and need never have ex-
isted-it is "fiat' wealth created
through plutocratic legislation for
the benefit OF eastern and European
capitalists. But it is upon our shout
ders, nevertheless. To this is to be
added the municipal bonded indebt-
edness, estimated by the state audi
tor at $38, 100000. And then comes
the farm, city and chattel mortgage
Indebtedness of the people. The au-
ditor estimates this at only $4,000,
900 but it is entirely reasonable to
say that it is fully 5000, 100000,
and this does not include bank loans

Beggs' Cherry Cough Syrup has gained
its great popularity simply on its true
merit. 1t is equally as good in case of
deep seated cough as in freshly taken
cold, as it relieves the cough at once, so
that the lungs and bronchial tubes are
not irritated by continual coughing,
thereby relieving them Of all soreness.
