To the Peoples party league OF
Wichita, Sedgwick county, Southern
Kansas and Oklahoma leagues:
GENTLEMEN: At a meeting of the
transportation committee of the PeO-
pies party League, held June II, 1892,
the following resolution was adopted.
Resolved, That the committee on
transportation of the Peoples party
League of Wichita, Kansas, recon-
mend that persons attending the ma
tiOnal convention at Omaha 60 over
the Santa Fe route, and take the
train leaving Wichita, Saturday, July

ing. Connection with this train will
be made by the Wichita & Western

Wichita on the st. Louis & San Fran
cisco road and at Florence, Kansas.
with the party from the Mcpherson
and EldOradO branches. Arrived at
Newton, our party will be reinforced
from points west, making a good con-
nectiOn at all of these junction points.
This train will carry Pullman palace
SleeperS, tourist sleeping cars and
chair cars. On arrival at Kansas City
in the evening, the party will take
special tourist sleeping cars via the
Burlington route, arriving at Omaha
Sunday morning and it is arranged
that these cars shall be stored on side
tracks for occupancy while there, as it
is now impossible to obtain hotel ac-
cOmmOdatiOns. The minimum cost of
the berth will be about 10 cents per
day; and if thirty persons occupy the
same car about 80 cents each. In Or
der to secure good accommodation you
should apply at once to the nearest
station agent of the Santa Fe route,
or to the undersigned. The rate will
be one lowest limited fare for the
round trip from Kansas and OklahO-

The PEOPLES VOICE is being liber-
ally assisted by its friends throughout
the county. The editor returns
thanks for the contributions, says he
is needing all the help he is getting
and more too, that he will repay it by
subscription and other work, and that
he is proud of the people who so kind
ly came to his aid, and is not ashamed
to receive and acknowledge the same.
That is proper and right. The VOICE
had no cyclone insurance at all, and
almost everything was swept away.
Now is the time it needs assistaece
to get on its feet again. A friend to
it now is worth dozen in prosperous
times. This applies to all the other
offices as well, none of whom escaped
the storms fury. They are in need
of substantial encouragement right
now, and we know they are all worthy
of and will appreciate the favor and
repay the same in time. 1t requires
considerable ready cash to fit up such
offices as were owned by the Standard,
Monitor and VOICE before their mis-
haps, and it will require proportion
ately as much toreplace them.

WHY A THIRD PARTY?

Why? Why? WHY? WHY? Stand
up. We peryerse plutOcratic prevari-
Gators of putrid party and tell us
why. Ye have made yourselves our
advisers. Now tell us why, in the
name of honesty and decency, we
should not leave a party that is reek-
ing with corruption and void of all
semblance of honesty? Why should
we remain with party that has leg
islated in favor of every class except
the most important One-the prOduc-
erS? Why should we continue TO vote
for and with party that cannot even
give sensible reason for its exist
ence except that it wants TO succeed.
Succeed in what? Why succeed in
succeeding. This is the only excuse
either the Democratic or Republican
parties can give for the continuation
of their existence. Go south, where
nine-tenths of the people are in favor
of free silver. The leaders are will
ing to prostitute that principle and
take Cleveland, in the interest of
democratic success. That is the IS
sue upon which they have been elect
ed, and that is the one for which they
work when elected. When a Demo-
crat or Republican speaker goes be-
fore the people today, the burden of
his speech is the. success of his party.
On this issue he appeals to the peO-
pie. "You must do this-make this
sacrifce-Or you will let the other
fellows in" To keep the other fel-
lows out the people have been led to
make fools of themselves and to sac
rifice that which is the bulwark OF
the republic-their manhood. 1t fe-

mon on "Usury" from a Bible stand
point at Slate creek school house last
Sunday a week and had a large
audience. He showed that US
ury was prohibited ~ before
the law was given, ~ under the law
and 81 under the gospel. There is a
mighty sight of thinking going on
now along these lines and church peo-
pie are discovering new light from
within the lids Of the Bible. Usury
all comes from an excessively restrict
ed money circulation, which is the

SOME HUM BUGS.

SOME HuMBUGS.
The Nationalist
The statement has so frequently
been reiterated that people like TO be
humbugged that it has almost come
to be recognized as a truth. The
world is Oyerrun with this kind of de-
ceptiOn. 1t is often of an inOcuOuS
character, like the dudeen with his
drawling speech and turned-up trou-
Sers, rAnglais, the piOus teacher
who wins the attendance of his class
with chromos and taffy; or the plastic
figure that has grown into Shapeli
ness under the tutelage of the tailor
or mOdiste. Most humbugs, how
ever, have a harmful influence.
Among them may be claSsed the poll
tician, with his web of soothing prom
iSeS woven just before election and
his bitter draughts of performance
after election; the lawyer who invites
needless litigatiOn; the medical man
who prOlOngs the prOStration Of his
patients to increase his bill; the man.
ufacturer who adulterates his wares
at the peril of the consumers health;
the parsOn who takes his three
months holiday and leaves his respOn-
sibilities to burden his Pensioners;
but the most plausible and enerva-
ting of all modern humbugs is the
scheming individual who endows pub
lie institutions out of the money that
he has distracted from that same
public. By the levying of excessive
tolls, in the form of profits, a few ag-
gresSive, unScrupulOuS individuals ac-
cumulate millions and scores of mil.
lions and then, as thank Offering to
the Lord, whom they take into Junior
partnership in their enterprises, !"
they announce, with a flourish of
trumpets, that they will donate
million, more or less, to some uniyer-
sity or public library. They build
themselves a monument out of the
taxed industries of their fellOw-men
We are so accustomed to this sort of
humbug, and it wears such piOus
and benefcent expression, that we
have not thought of questioning the
fitness Of it. But when we come to
reflect upon the ways in which this
money is accumulated, how many
thousands sweat and toll, and pinch
and suffer in order that the ambition
and pride of the donor may be graft
fed, the transaction does not look
quite so noble. If the giver had not
taken unlawful profits from the peO-
pie then the people would have sufi-
cient left to build their own univer-
sites, hospitals and libraries; and if
they did not do it they should go
without them until they had saved
enough for the purpose.
The people do not want charity;
they want justice, and when they
sufficiently realize the best ways of
securing it no one will have a million
dollars with which to build or endow
a university or library, under the
plea Of divine favor. This is a species
of venerable and sanctimOnious hum
bug, but it will disappear, with many
Others, when the people come to thor
Oughly realize that industry produces
everything and should own every
thing.

The two old parties both favor BIZ
metaliSm, but they want a dollars
worth of silver in a dollar. In 1873
when silver was demonetized 412j
grains was worth Sl.03. The produc-
tiOn of silver has not been as great
since that time as has that of gold.
And by table prepared by Senator
Jones of Nevada printed in the Con-
greSsiOnal Record an ounce of silver
will buy as much of the staple COM
mOdities now as in 1873. So it is
seen that gold has appreciated in
value and not silver deprecated.
Our old party friends want to meas
ure the value of the silver by the in
creased value of the gold, which is a
result Of the gold standard theory.
The Peoples party does not care how
much silver is put in the dollar, so it
has the government fiat on it and is
a full legal tender, but this cry about
putting Sl.OOwOrth of silver in a dollar
is all for buncOmbe. If 412! grains
were worth sl.03 in 1873, the condi-
tiOnS having changed to Silver's favor
rather than against it since that
time, there is not the least chance for
doubling its going to par with gold
whenever it is fully remonetized
again. The old parties are for bimet-
aliSm, "but~ Which means to the
people, 1--WE are" and to the bond
holders, I'VE are not" That is the
long and short oft.
