A FEW WORDS IN FAVOR OF FUSION.

A FEW WORDS IN FAVOR OF FUSION,
To the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE.
l saw in your issue Of March 80, W. Fl.
Goodner's statement, ave Want No Fu-
sion"
/ do not want to get into an argument
with Mr.. w. Fl. on the subject Of fusion.
I would not have said word II the gen
tleman had not come down on the man
that favors fusion. / do not have to &C
cept any Of the bad deeds of the, Demo
cratic party or their rascality, nor be-
cause ! advocate fusion am / aotuated by
no higher motive than to get into Office
myself. II q man does not learn from
past experience, his mission here is
blank, not only to himself but to society.
In my county, il the Peoples party had
given the Democrats what they asked,ou
county would have elected every one OF
their officers AS It was we got but one, and
the same all over the state, and the same
this fall. am called an Office seeker II /
advocate little policy long with truth.
Every man that has as much sense as a
yearllng calf knows that the Democrats
hold the balance of power In Kansas and
the Peoples party have just as much
right to make an effort TO secure It az the
Republicans. The Republicans did not
surrender any OF their rascallty to get
that vote, nor will the Peoples party have
to surrender any Of their principles to
get 1t this fall. II our party has the
good Of the people at heart they will give
q little. Success Is life, defeat is death.
II by giving the Democrats two or three
officers In the state and one here and
there through the counties In the state,
and by so doing the people get both
Houses Of the Legislature, then q Senator
and the governor, that gives US all the ap-
pointing power and all the managers Of
the state institutions and the party Is on
top and 1t is worth more to Kansas many
times over than the president.

Say 100000 cent postage stamps are
considered sufficient to supply our coun-
try's need, and Congress authorizes that
amount only TO be- issued. Say also that
spectators buy up one-hSlf Of these and
hold them at cents each, would Con-
gress listen to the demands of the Coun-
try for more stamps, or would It treat
such demands as 1t now treats the de-
mands Of the people for more money!
Who will give adequate reasons for pur-
suing different policies In the two casesT
! will content myself by adding one
point which would tend to more rapid
advancement Of enterprises under gov
ernment control than under private con-
troll. Many enterprises under private
control meet with long delays for want
of capital to start them. Very often also
after an enterprise has fairly started or
even become nearly completed, it Ian
gulsheS or utterly fails for the same rea-
son. OF course this would not be the
case If under government management.
Yours fraternally,

PUSH THE SOCIAL FEATURES.
Q Editor Of THE ADVOCATE

To the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE:
l have had opportunity the last two
years of reading most of the more promi-
nent reform papers, and deem THE AD-
voCATE the most ably conducted Peo-
ple's party paper in the United States. l
am glad it Is on a solid basis. Should
think its stock would be away above par.
l write to urge prompt and practical
plan for "pslrIng off" as suggested by
Mr.. Smith In The ADVOCATE Of the 9th
inst.
First Let the pairing have no limit as
to former military service, or even as 70
section of country, though the pairing Of
northerner and southerner should be
more especially encouraged.
Second-Let county central committees
make an effort to secure names Of voters
Tor even of those under age) who are
willing to be paired, and who have not
privately paired, and send such names to
state central committee.
Third-Let the state central committee
pair such names with some other state
central committee in order OF number on
list and see that each party to pair gets
the address Of the one with whom he Is
paired that q correspondence may be
carried on during the campaign at least.
Even northern youths might be en-
coursged by this means to correspond
with southern youths.
know Of no more effective plan to
eradicate sectional prejudice and dis
trust than such system Of personal In
tercourse.
l find every number Of THE ADVOCATE
worthy Of fling away. Allow me here to
notice two more "thoughts Of gold" found
in No. 20. 1 wish to emphasize the tell
Ing argument against the possibility Of
there being an over production Of money
so long Ne any one with ample security
cannot get 1t at reasonable cost, which

ATTENTION, CLERKS OF DISTRICT COURTS.
We would like the name Of every
clerk OF the several district courts Of
the state and registers Of deeds who
have been elected by the Peoples
party. Will those gentlemen be kind
enough to accommodate us9 And
will reform papers be kind enough to
republish our request for this infor-
nation?

HOW TO RAISE A CAMPAIGN FUND.

HOW TO RAISE A CAMPAIGN FUND.
The ADVOCATE wants 10000 new
subscribers in Kansas for the cam
paign of 1892 It wants $4,000 in
other states. The people want the
paper. 1t will be power in the com
ing contest. It will carry victory
wherever it circulstes. 1t is needed
in every inquiring household. The
Peoples party also needs a campaign
fund. We submit the following propo-
sition for the attainment OF all the
above desirable needs. For every
100 subscribers for one year at 81
each, we will give $40 to the cam
psign fund Of the state from which
the subscriptions are received.
Now please notice all the terms Of
this proposition SO that we may be
saved the labor and expense of pri-
vate correspondence on the subject.
Study the following statements.
First-We will receive these sub
scriptions in clubs of ten or more,
and credit them to the state from
which they come.
Second-We do not require the
100 subcribers from any one To-
cality. Let it be distinctly stated in
sending lists that they are sent under
this proposition and We will credit
them properly, and whenever the
number reaches 100 from any state
we will send check for 500 to the
chairman of the Peoples party COM
mittee of that state whose name and
address must be furnished US by
those sending the subscriptions.
Third-We can pay no commissions
or other expenses under tnls propo-
sition. Every name sent must be ac-
companied by a full dollar. A 70 cent
silver dollar or a fiat dollar will be
accepted at par with gold
Fourth-No club OF less than ten
will be accepted under this PROPOSE
ton, and no additions Of single sub
scriptions will be made to these clubs.
Each list must be for ten or more.
Fifth-This proposition does not
supercede the campaign offer for sub
scribers to November 10. Those who

Parties who receive TIE ADVOCATE
and who have not subscribed for it,
need have no fears about taking it
from the Office. The ADVOCATE is
never sent to anybody with q view Of
asking pay for it afterwards. It is

Mcpherson, Kansas.

The partisan press thought they had
discovered a terrible thing when they
found the soldier resolution passed by
the st. Louis conference. Did you ever
stop to think that these same papers have
been running for many years and have
never said one word about the govern
ment paying the bondholderS In gold?
These papers could see nothing wrong In
paying the bondholder, who purchased
his bonds at fifty cents on the dollar, two
dollars In gold, but it would never do to
pay the man who risked his life for his
country. What Ia the reason these papers
haven't pointed out this great outrage to
the people. Does the bondholder own
them and dictate their editOrialsI-

ment was past, and,as we have stated
at time when the government was
in no need of money. All the vast
profits resulting from the speculation
upon gold, the discount OF the paper
currency of the government, and the
legislation by which the bonds origi-
nally payable in currency, were made
payable in gold, are a clean steal,
contemplated by the men who shaped
the Legislation for the purpose, and
who have personally grown rich from
the spoils gathered in under the pro-
visions of their own legislative acts.
Mr.. Higgins attempted justifca-
tion of the exception clause in the
act of 1862, and of a like exception
now, is fallacious upon his own hy-
pothesis. He says:
"In order to make foreign purchases, or repay
foreign debt, the United States would have
been compelled then Qn 1852 and would today,
to refuse, as that portion Of It's income anything
which Is only money and nothing else.
The United States must buy In the worlds
market with gold just as you must buy in your
more limited sphere of trade with wheat, corn
or whatever you produce to obtain money"
In another place ne says:
''There Is no such thing as an international or
worlds money"
And again:
money is not, except by a mere convention
restricted by national boundary lines, final
payment at all, but such Anal payment Is made
only by commodities. Even among ourselves, as
citizens OF the same commonwealth, money as
such, Is merely an intermediate step In obtaining
payment In the thing ICe tOGnt for the thing some
one else tCGnts.
tits but simple step from these automatic
premises to the assured conclusion that regard
ing nations as individuals, the only manner OF
doing business between them is by absolute
barter"
We understand Mr.. Higgins to
mean by these statements that, as
there is no such thing as an inter
national worlds money and as gold
becomes commodity in international
exchanges, that the barter is COM
pleted by the payment of gold in
such exchanges. Is this true? Is it
not fact that the value of gold as a
commodity depends to a great extent
upon it's recognition as money metal
Deprive it of that recognition,
and what would it be worth
It possesses no property by
which it can administer to a single
necessity of man. 1t is absolutely
without value, except as it may be
parted with for the things that may
be wanted. The barter is not com
plete in international, anymore than
in domestic exchanges until this val
ueless commodity has been redeemed
in some of the things that are cspa-
bic of administering to human neces-
stiles; and in view of the vast com
mercial transactions of the nations Of
the earth, and regarding nations as
individuals" this international barter
is governed by the same economic
laws as domestic barter. Exchanges
"of the things we want for the things
that someone else wants" are con.
stantly taking place internationally
as we'll as in our domestic trade, and
