WORKINGMEN AS BANKERS.

The savings banks of this country,
according to the comptroller of the cur
rency, hold 1870, 267, 1897 of the total
81, 1895, 574, 759-of wealth in all kinds
Of bank deposits in this country, or
1886 per cent. The banks of Great
Britain and Ireland have 1894, 643, 900
deposits, and of this the savings banks
hold Ellis, 900, or only 11.46 per
cent. The worklngmen, the plain peo-
pie, are the chief depositors in savings
banks. Does this not speak we'll for the
prosperity of American workingmen as
compared with those in Europe? Is
there man in even "debt-ridden" Kan
sas who would to-day be willing to take
his family back to the old countries and
exchange lots with the workingmen to
be found there? OF course, we all need
more money. Even Lewelling, the
fusion candidate for governor, needs
more money, for on what other n.y.
pothesis can it be that he has followed
purchasing notes and mortgages and
then foreclosing them? If this were
not true, why did Rightmire, one of the
chief apostles, take money for fighting
mortgage foreclosures and then abandon
that business, failing to return any of
the fees collected? If it were not for
money, why did Legate crawl out of the
nest he occupied so many years, and
beslime it after DESERVING it?

LOVE FOR WORK
INGMENs

The New York World has engaged a
German free trade juggler in statistical
matter to come over here and show
Americans what they must do in order
to save this country. 1t was not even
deemed necessary that he should know
anything about the United States as it
is or as it was, but only that he should
be able to compile figures from a Ger
man standpoint that would be useful in
securing the election of Cleveland. It
seems to be the paramount object Of
European nations, as we'll as of their
admirers to secure the election of the
fat prophet, and the abrogation of pro-
lection and reciprocity. In this work
there are number of American papers
eager to aid, even here in Kansas. Their
patriotism is of that peculiar order that
they are willing to build up foreign
country if by SO doing they can strike
q blow at American industries and Amer
lean laborers.

THE PARTY THAT PROTECTS
HOME.

Here IL q sentence that Is going tn
rounds Of the peoples party press;
..There are but two parties IN kansas
the home protectors and the home
wreckers. The latter party is called 10
publican" This originally appeared in
Alliance State Printer Shows paper,
and leaves no doubt as to the positive
ness OF his declaration that the republi-
can party is party of '.home wreckers. !"
and insists that the party to which he
belongs is the party of home protectors.
It may be well to examine facts and
ascertain the truth regarding this re-
markable statement. The reports of the
United States Land Office show that
under the homestead and timber-culture
acts-which are admitted to be purely
republican measures-farms averaging
in size 135 acres each we're given to l.
24s, 749 citizens between the years 1862
and 1890. Counting five to family,
homes were provided for population Of
6,243,745 souls by the party of "home
wreckers."
About one-half of the state of Kansas
was settled by home-seekers who OBJ
tanned lands under the two republican
acts mentioned The number of entries
in Kansas have been 208,803, and the
number of acres covered by these entries
was 30,204, 153-good results to come
from the legislation of a party that
makes business of "wrecking homes"
What party was it that opened up
Oklahoma and gave thousands Of poor
people homes? Was not this same re-
publican party in full power at that
time? What party in the last congress
refused to open up the 'strip?" Was
it not Jerry Simpson who has been de-
nounced publicly by his own party for
his efforts to defeat the measure that
would have given homes to several
thousands of people who want to open
farms in that country?
In Philadelphia, Pa, a strong repub-
lican city, over 100000 homes are
owned by the working people; and in
Kansas reports from 1000 mechanics
residing in four of the largest cities
show that over 3351 per cent OF those re-
porting owned their homes in 1890
and Kansas was republican at that date
and for some years previous.
It was the republican party in Kansas
that passed and has since maintained
this law: "a homestead to the extent
of one hundred and sixty acres of farm
ing land, or of one acre within the limits
of an incorporated town or city, occu-
pied as residence by the family of the
owner, together with all the improve
ments on the same, shall be exempted
from forced sale under any process of
law"

REMoRsELEssLY ROBBED.

Statistics are usually dry reading,
but the following from the New York
bank commissioners report read like a
romance, SO interesting are they. Only
think; the number of depositors in saw
ings banks in one state increasing over
one million in number; one million of
workingmen who have been ''remorse-
lessly robbed" according to our demo-
cratic brethren. The report shows an
increase in savings deposits of $10,417,-
Ol5 in New York state, or about 1T per
cent during the first half of 1892. The
increase during President Harrison's
administration has been $685., SIG,
and the number of depositors has in
creased from l, 1861, 1852, January 1, 1889,
to 1855, 1873, July l, 1892. Considering
all the Withdrawals for the purpose of
changing residence, building houses,
going into business Independently, or
profitable investment, this increase dis
closes remarkable state of prosperity.
But throughout the country such an in
crease has been going on, and it bears
most eloquent testimony to the benei-
cence of the republican policy. In two
years under this administration the in
crease in savings bank deposits in all
the states has been $21O, 600, 900, OF 14a
per cent. The number of depositors in
creased from 100000 to 4, 100000 in
two years, and is nearly 80 per cent
larger than it was ten years ago: The
deposits were then 1892, 100000 in
amount, but were $1,654, 100000 in
1891, an increase of about S5 per cent.
Now how is a democratic platform to be
forgotten or lodged which asserts that
the people of this country have been
continuously and remorselessly robbed,
when such official reports as these are
continually coming out?

Bower, who lives on School creek, Mil

barley. Last year he had Captain Rock
well get him 100 pounds of barley seed
in California. He planted it on March
%, the seed just covering Il acres. He
harvested it June rs, and the other day
had it threshed. The yield from the 100
pounds of seed was just fifty eight
bushels of as nice barley as one could
wish for. This variety is beardless and
Mr.. Bower prefers it to the bearded.
He claims that barley is better for hogs
than corn, and that it is extra good feed
for all kinds of stock. He will plant
twelve acres next spring. Mr.. Bower is
a practical farmer and a hint of this
character from him is worth considering
by our farmers. And they should also
bear in mind that barley natures early

THAT MORTGAGE SPECTRE.

While several Kansas City papers have
furtively sought to injure the credit of
Kansas, following in the wake of the
populist leaders, it remained for the st.
Louis Republic, whose editor wrote the
democratic national platform, to make q
direct attack in which there can be but
one object. II has recently taken the
pains to publish lists of the mortgage
sales found in Kansas papers, never add
ing line explaining how there came to
be 80 many. The Atchison Champion
makes this course of the Republic the
text for few pertinent remarks, which
it would bs well for every voter in the
state to read and ponder over, for sure
ly he would then unhesitatingly stand
by his own state and vote the republican
ticket as soon as he has made up his
mind as to the extent both the demo-
cratic and populist parties have been
enemies OF Kansas. The Champion
says:
.sKansas has been injured more by
the villi6cation of Missouri moss-back
newspapers that by the wailings of the
indictments within its own borders. The
motive behind these base misrepresenta-
tons is as malignant as partisan malice
can make it. The object Of the Mis-
souri, Bourbon organ is to make 1t ap-
pear that mortgage sales in Kansas are
the result of republican policy. No
man who is not Q fool believes any such
thing, and none but knave would
make such q charge. Another thing to
be remembered in this connection 70
quite significant. The forced sales OF
real estate in Missouri during the past
two years aggregate mere in valne than
the forced sales in Kansas.

THE AWAKENING HAS COME,

thusiasm and unanimity among republi-
cans, as well as such a determination to
win the coming election. 1t is not so
much tho success OF the men on the
ticket, although they are all superior in
attainments and integrity, as it is the
desire that Kansas shall be redeemed
and given back its proud name, which
was temporarily shaded by populist
success. In anticipation of the resto1a-
ton of republican rule, the country
roads once more are the highways of the
white covered wagons which convey
settlers to desirable lands. From all
parts of the state come reports of sales
OF farm lands and partially restored
confidence. 1t now needs only clearly
defined republican victory to turn to
our fertile plains and valleys the tide of
immigrants who are anxious to make
themselves homes.
In the past we have sympathized with
Missouri for being but highway for
home-seekers, who crossed but never
stopped. We all knew that the moss of
bourbonism always kept the land-seeker
from casting his lot with the good peo-
pie OF that state; but it was the moss
grown out OF the old-time slave culture.
