You bet IL will. IL will buy as
many again days work; IL will buy
three times rs much cotton, corn or
wheat as II would % years ago. But
who does this increased power of
the dollar benefit most, the fellow
who has the dollar, or the one who
has days work which he wants to
exchange for dollars?-RecOrd, IRA,
No.
Most assuredly the man who has
days work TO exchange for dollars.
A dollar 10 a dollar, that Is, a unit Of
value. The dollar only represents
what the mans days work will buy,
and II will buy more today than
ever before in the history OF the
world. III not, when did II get more
than now? The fact that agricultural
products are low In price is owing to
the fact that a fraction OF them are
compelled to seek markets inferior
to our own. This the Republican
party Is remedying as fast as possible
through the Mckinley law.

THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

One of the speakers at the Alliance
party rally here last week said the
Monroe Doctrine" meant nOn-inter-
course with foreign nations, which
shows just how much he knew sbou
it (or else he meant to tell lie. ANY
one who chooses can look the matter
up, but for the benefit of those who
do not have time, the following de-
scription will be found substantially
correct, aud in brief form as posi-
BILE:
President Monroe's annual mes
sage to Congress in 1923 contained
the following sentences: 1--WE owe
it to candor and to the amicable re-
lstions existing between the United
States and the allied powers, to de-
clare that we should consider any
attempt on their part TO extend their
system to any portion Of this hemi-
sphere as dangerous to our peace and
safety. With the existing colonies
or dependencies Of any European
power we have not interfered, and
shall not interfere; but with the
governments which have declared
their independence aud maintained
1t, and whose independence we have,
on great consideration and just priu-
ciples, acknowledged, we could not
view an interposition for expressing
them, or controlling in any other
manner their destiny, by any Euro
pesn power, in any other light than
asa manifestation Of an unfTiendly
disposition to ward the United
States" Also, 1.-The American con-
tinents should no longer be subjects
for any new European colonial settle
ment." These expressions embody
what is known as the Monroe Doc
trine. President Monroe's mention
Of these subjects was occasioned by
the formation in Europe, few years
previously, of what wss called the
"holy alIiance'-an alliance be-
tween Russia, France, Austria aud
Prussia to maintain the moDarchial
system Of government In Europe.
1t was supposed that they desired to
extend their operations to the New
World also, especially with reference
to the colonies Of Spain, some Of
which had asserted, and obtained
from the United States tfe recogni-
ton Of their independence. Eng
land sided with our country on this
question, aud the result was that
the allies did not carry out their |
project. AS popularity understood,
the Monroe doctrine meant q polii- |
teal protection and guaranty Of |
freedom from European interference
to all states OF North and South
America. 1t was not, however, in
tended to, and by its words II did |
not, declare that the United States
would take up arms against Europ-
can interference on these continents
nor was its intention to limit or en-
barrass the policy Of our nation 10
the future. 1t merely declared that
the United States would regard rs
unfriendly any such acts Of Europ-
can intermeddling with the Political
affairs OF the two Americas, aud 1t
left to be determined by the circum-
stances OF each paticulsr case how
far the United States would find Ii
wise to go in opposingit.

Mr.. ISGALLs took the ground In
his speech that the issues of the war
were not settled until IL would be as
safe for General Weaver to go down
South and say what he pleased and
be heard, respected and protected &C.
cordingly as is Colonel Harris In
Kansas. Not until every man can
cast his vote without fear and have
his vote counted without favor can
the war be said TO be over and the
work Of the Republican party finish
ed. This Is true; Il IL not intolerance
nor is 1t waving the bloody shirt.
There is that which Is right and that
which is wrong to choose from. and
there can be no middle ground, or
lodging the issue. IL the people Of
the South will not do their duty
without then II IL incumbent upon
organized authority to put an end to
these outrages which have been prac.
ticed by or southern friends ever
since the functions OF government
were restored to them. When the
powers Of the government are denied
then II is the duty Of the govern
ment to assert itself.

JOHN DAVIS wants the govern
ment to buy all the railroads. Sup
posing this was done what condition
would we be in? Uncle Sam cannot
be sued, aud he pays no taxes. The
millions of dollars OF taxes now re-
ceived from the railroads in taxes
would have to be made up by private
citizens. The fellows who kicked
so hard on railroad assessments be-
ing reduced, are the very men who
would rather the railroads would not
pay taxes. The man who lost COW
or horse could not recover damages
from the railroads IL they were own
ed by the government, because the
government cannot he sued, and
pays no damages for losses. When
you send q letter containing money,
or valuable matter through the
mails, and il Is destroyed In Q wreck
you cannot recover its value. Besides
all this il would be unjust to deprive
the thousands Of men who have to
work on railroads for q living OF the
right Of participating in the affairs
of our government. Ii would be the
very last degree OF class legislation.

OUR esteemed contem porary, the
Eureka Messenger, wants to know
why our exports In grain end farm
products have fallen of since the
Mckinley law went Into effect, and
quotes some figures from the New
York World to prove that exports In
breadstuffs have fallen of. Has the
Mckinley law been so long esnong
Us and you have not known u,
Thomss? The policy Of the Me-
kinley bill IN to prevent dollars
worth OF bresdstuffs from leaving
the shores Of this country. We con-
sumo more and q better grade Of
breadstuffs than any other nation on
earth, or any two nations. The Nc.
Kinley till gives the American
farmer q monopoly OF this market,
and creates 4 d-mand here at home
for the remaining s or 10 per cent. Of
his products. The fact that the ex-
ports Ia bresdstuffs have fallen off
indicates that the Mckinley bill IL
accomplishing its purpose. The fact
that our exports rs q whole have iu-
creased to an unprecedented figure
proves that protection aud recipro-
city are accomplishing the purpose
for which they were intended. Farm
pre- ducts will never reach q stable
and satisfactory price until every
bushel Of grain IL required for home
consumption. Just 50 long ~ n
fraction OF our farm products are
compelled to seek markets outside
our own country, all OF which are
inferior to our own, just so long will
cheap markets have to do with
regulating the price OF that produce.
The Democratic party wants 10 make
the consumers Of over 70 per cent. Of
our farm products into an army OF
producers, and every dollars worth
Of the vast increase must seek its
markets in nations inferior TO our
own as consumers. On the other
hand the Republican party IL max.
ing an increase In the number OF
consumers so that all products shall
be consumed In the nearest and best
market in the world. The Kansas
farmer can take his choice between
the two, and be benefited according.

A MISUNDERSTANDING.


In the course Of his remarks at the
opera house Last week Colonel Har-
ris took occasion to say that all the
Republicans wanted Of the farmers
Was to have them devote all their
time to farming aud leave politics
alone. This 10 very far from the
truth. While Il 10 true that no farm
er or any other man for that matter,
should neglect his business for poll.
ties, no man, and especially no
farmer should ignore politics Alto
gether Ia order TO devote more time
to his other business. IL II tbe~Wan
who trades on the allegation that he
Is q farmer. when in reality he IL Q
common loafer that the Republicans
and all other good citizens object to.
The very life and growth Of the
Farmers Alliance rs Q political
movement IL due ouly To the fact
that the farmers have heretofore
wholly neglected the all important
part Of their business known by the
term politics. Every man over the
age Of q years IL n part Of this gov
ernment, and when he neglscts bis
duty In this regard he commits q
crime against organized society.
Every man who fails to inform him
self on all sides OF all political ques-
tons, every man who omits his
duty Mt a primary, and lets election
day pass by without voting Injuries
himself, his Beighbors and his coun-
tTy's welfare. Yet We are sorry to
say We know farmers and business
men who are guilty Of all these.
Farmers are most likely to slight the
duties OF citizenship because they
are most remote from polling places,
aud the means Of information. And
when these duties are sighted their
omission becomes habitual, but
some day the awakening comes.
They have become es.ranged from
their rights, and are out Of date In
respect to the issues OF government
II il then natural for them TO believe
themselves imposed upon, and con-
slider men who devote time TO poll
ties their enemies. IL Is then easy
for the mischief maker to gain a
hold upon them, and he il always at
hand watching for his opportunity.
In all instances OF this kind the far
mer becomes the victim Of his own
carelessness and neglect.
No man has right to look upon
politics in any other light than from
purely business standpoint; honor
comes after the discharge Of the du-
ties OF citizenship and not before.
Seek first the greatest good to the
greatest number, and all other things
will be added. The plain, common
sense with which every man Is en-
dowed, is Of more value In politics
than all the theories, PHILOSOPHERS,
ILaxims and dogmas that have been
devised in all the ages past, or that
will be formed in the time TO come.
Added to this honesty and constancy,
and you have all the requirements Of
citizenship. No one Of these IL in
dependent al the other. They are
all born on one body, and the neglect
OF one is the destruction OF all. All
else is error, hypocrisy, and false
hond

In the United States railways are
capitalized and bonded for $50, 900
per mile. In England they are
capitalized and bonded for $500, 600 q
mile. This Is not the only difference,
the equipment Of United States rail-
ways are more costly and real estate
i'm some sections Is higher In value.
In England the railways earn
dividends Of 10 per cent, while In
this country the dividends average
3 per cent. On 100 mile hauls, Eng
lish railways get 81 40; In Iowa
they get so Go per ton OF soft coal.
All other rates are In proportion or
higher. Again the wages Of railway
employees in this country are a third
employees in this country are a third
higher than i'm England. IL will
thus be seen by this report made by
the direction and for the use Of the
British parliament that our country
is not q very great sufferer from
railway oppression" rs compared
to England. OF course our country
Is large and distances are q long
ways off sometimes, but there IL q
remedy for this at hand, viz. let us
get the producer and consumer as
close together "a possible.

ALIrTLE MORE SMOKE.

Mr.. Cobb got his eyes 20 filled with
smoke thst he il unable te see clear

the questions he wanted to on Re
publican policy and be answered

what the house in the last legisls
ture did and the senate refused to en-
dOrse. Every new day We zee give.
Us some new cause to thank the sen.
ate for sitting down ON the action.
Of that house. II has been said and
proven again and again that the onI y
thing done by that house that will
stand was to adjourn, and there IL
grave doubt about that,
Almost without exception the bills
referred to by the Union have coun.
terparts that would stand In the
courts and passed by the senate, OF
at least amended by the senate, so as
TO live long enough 10 accomplish
some purpose, but the house in its
ignorance, refused to be convinced
or lacked capacity and Judgment to
comprehend whether measures were
good or bad or whether proposed
remedies would cure evils. Then
because it could not usurp the func.
tions of the executive branch Of the
government IL left the state unpro-
vided for representation at the
Worlds Fair. Take the Elder mort
gage bill the Union refers to in two
places. Had that law passed every
mortgage that became due unprin-
cipled men could have prevented
those who Invested the money ia
these securities from obtaining
their pay for an indefinite period
Ii placed Il premium on rascaliiy by
encouraging honest people to beat
those who had money invested out
of their pay. Had il become a law,
not one dollar Of money would have
come into the state from the date Of
its passage and approval. This is
the kind OF principle" Mr.. Cobb,
his paper aud his party stands up
fo- This is the kind of fellows the
honest people who want to pay their
honest debts honestly incurred are
asked TO endorse. Ii does not attempt
to justify the maximum freight bill,
another piece Of bright legislation in
the interest of railroads. II simply
reiterates its statement that the
alliance house passed the bill, with
out denying the statement that the
bill would have increased freight
charges in many instances.
Scarcely without exception the
actions nf that house were discredit-
table, dishonorable and disgrscefuI.
This charge has been made thou
sand times and never denied. Mr..
Cobb by publishing one side Of the
case and strsining several points and
distorting the facts hopes to discredit
the Republican senate but it will not
work. The people know how ii all
is and there is no need Of further go
ing into detail We expect Mr.. Cobb
to take temporary stand on some
new ground next week, but he
will not stay long. He will continue
lodging around until election day
aud then all will be over.

MIR. INGALLS, SPEECH,

The long-expec:ed speech of Sena-
tor ingalls, was delivered at Topeka
Saturday night. 4 crowd Of 5000
filled the grand opera house TO hear
him and as many more could not
gain admittance and patiently wait
ed outside in the hope OF hearing
some word from him. The speech
was in Mr.. ingalls, usual style. He
devoted considerable time TO person
al vindicstion, but more to the vim
dication of Republican principles,
the state of Kansas and the United
States.
His speech should set at rest all de-
nuncistion Of him within the lines
of the Republican party. He is not
an issue this year, neither has he
any other preference than the sue
cess of the Republican candidate and
Republican principles. He meets
his enemies, IL he has any in his own
party, on a plain where they can
well afford to cooperate with him,
aud allow him TO help them. Any
man who will allow his personal dis
like Of Mr.. Ingalls, to enter this cam
psign after that speech is not in
favor Of Republican success. This
is no time to engage in family quar-
rels.
He did not attempt to conceal his
plans for the future. To use his own
words, MY seat In the senate is not
yet vacant" He further said that
il the people ever wanted him for
senator ne would see them at an
other time. Mr.. Ingalls, mas taken
hold OF the fight and will do 8 vast
amount of good for the Republican
ticket this year, and we congratulate
him on his beginning.
