WE have it on the word of very
bright young peoples party man
that within six months there will be
no politics in the alliance; that it,
the alliance, will not be a partizan
organization, that it will be purged
of all conflicting elements and that
all will be serene and happy. This
young man did not say how this
to be brought about, but we infer
that everybody who does not stand
on the peoples platform will be in
vited to walk plank" We may
be off in this but then quite recent
developments in the line of plank
walking" by men who refused to
wear the P. P. collar and chain is
pretty strong evidence Of the way
it will be done.-Lincoln Repub-

SATURDAY, JAN. 2. 1892.

THERE is one proposition upon
which an issue cannot be raised.
Senator Ingalls, can do more good
for Kansas than any other man
whose name has been mentioned as
candidate for United States Sena-
tor. Admitting that the other can
didates are his peer so far as natural
ability is concerned the fact still re-
mains that they are all inexperienced
and, with an inexperienced colleague
without party, Kansas would prac-
tically be without representation in
the present senate OF the United
States. A member Of congress is
never expected to do much the first
term and In this instance the man
who succeeds Plumb-unless it be
ingalls, takes his seat without a
days preparation. The lower house
from Kansas is filled with new men
also and can do but little for US.
Outside Of Kansas it is a foregone
conclusion that ingalls, will be re-
Sturned. His fame is of a national
character and as intimated before
he has not peer in Kansas so far
as results to be obtained are con-
cerned. We need ingalls, just at
this critical time. Of course it will
be urged that ingalls, did not par
ticipate in the contest last fall, and
we had hoped that he would, and
was quite disappointed when he re-
manned silent. But as far as his
republicanism is concerned there is
not now and never has been any
question as to his loyalty to the
party. ingalls, is and will continue
to be a republican, perhaps a trihe
Independent for some, and perhaps a
trifle original for Others, who per-
sist in running in the same groove
forever, forgetting that our party is
the party Of progress, and clinging
with deathlike pertinacity to the
old traditions, to the exclusion of
everything progressive. ingalls,
can better afford to remain in
private life than the public can af-
ford to do without his services.
The party, the people, the whole
state irrespective of party, needs his
assistance at this time.

MAKES SIT liftls "a ! Ut
our money may s. long : il
is interchangeable e is face value.
Gold always has been. is now, and
for many years to, come will con-
tinue to be the standard Of value for
the whole world and that without
any regard to TIE amount of paper
currency that we may issue. His
tory records that the hardest times
ever experienced in this country
were during the greatest imitation
and were the direct cause of a de-
preciated currency. Read the finan-
cial histories of onr colonies and of
our revolution. Read the history Of
the French revolution as corrobo-
rative Of these statements. If then
hard times are caused by a contract
ion Of the currency and even hard
er times by an undue imitation, it
would seem the better part of wis.,
dom to avoid both extremes. In
this, as in almost every proposition,
there is a golden mean to which we
can turn with safety. Can we find
it? Money enough to do the bust
ness of the country upon a gold
basis. Any less will result i'll hard
times. Any more will just as Ger
tainly prove disastrous in the end.
This is what we want and our only
safety lies here. The song Of the
fiat paper money siren is full Of al
Turing promises bnt there is no
other solid basis. Money based
upon something else may act as a
temporary stimulant, but as with
the drunkard, there is sure to be a
day of reckoning. The condition is
not normal and the stimulant is
certain to be followed by extraordi-
nary depression. History has dem
onstrated this truth so often that
it hardly seems possible that it
should be questioned. We have
made no special effort to argue these
propositions, but have given them
as axioms and only preliminary to
what we may say in the future.

- liz We understand the position Of
the peoples party, the money ques-
ton is the paramount issue. That
an increase Of the circulating
medium, Ian initiation Of the cur
rency by some means-is the one
thing needed to lift us out of this
era Of depression. That the ques-
tion Of the tariff cuts no figure and
is only kept alive in order to main
tain an issue between the two old
parties. We must confess that it
seems little strange to US to
see life long democrats who
have always been in touch with
their party on the free trade policy,
and it seems equally strange to us
to see those who for more than a
quarter Of century have upheld
the theory of protection as the only
thing to prevent the American
laborer from becoming paupers as in
many Of the European countries
we repeat that it seems almost in
comprehensive that both Of these
elements should, SO very suddenly,
discover that they have been hug
ging decisions ali this time. And
then again the thought will recur to
us unbidden that possibly these
sAme reformers may at some future
time conclude that there is nothing
in the currency question after all,
and that it is wholly immaterial
whether the currency is contracted
or expanded. Rut we have no dis
position at this time to evade the
main issue and will endeavor to con-
Hne ourselves to discussion of the
proposition as it presents itself.
No one ought to be so bound to
party as to refuse to give his assent
to any measure that he believes will
give permanent relief to the people
generally, but the tendency is and
has been Dor certain class OF re-
formers to take advantage Of
- =
certain seasons Of depression, which
are certain to recur, to charge It ell
to legislation or to the want Of it,
apparently forgetting that there are
certain immutable laws over which
Legislation can have no control.
We cant have too much money
