THE Kansas City Journal asks il
this is to be a campaign Of abuse.
Judging from the contents Of that
paper from day to day we should say
such is the prospect. In the very
number in which this question is
asked is more abuse and misrepre-
sentation than in any other paper re-
ceived at this office on that date (Ju-

"THE SAME OLD WEAVER

This is what our Republican friends
say of the nominee OF the Omaha con-
vention. They consider the fact that
Gen. Weaver has been in the reform
field for many years has rendered
him unpopular among the newer re-
cruits. This is where they will find
themselves greatly mistaken. Every
body knows precisely where Gen.
Weaver stands. His work in the
house Of representatives has immor-
tSlized him. He won victories for
reform against tremendous odds dur
ing his service as q legislator; and
his speeches in the house show him
to have had clear conception OF the
great conspiracy against the people
while the masses who now support
him were blindly voting for the con-
spirators. We give q part of one OF
those speeches this week that our
readers may see that Gen. Weaver in
1879 was fully up the most advanced
sentiment of the Peoples party in
1892. The remainder of the speech
. will appear next week. Those who
think the Omaha convention nomi-
mated a weak candidate will have oc-
casion to revise their opinion.

THE SCHOOL BOOK QUESTION.

About this time last year we had
occasion to express our views on the
subject Of county uniformity of text
books in the columns of THE ADvo-
CATE. We have watched with much
interest the workings in the few
counties in Kansas which made coun-
ty adoptions in 1891, and this obser-
vation confirms us in the opinion ex-
pressed a year ago. In one county
the adoption Of text books resulted in
a litigation between the county super
The advocate., 1892-07-20

Our Republican friends are asking
the question if the people of Kansas,
and especially old soldiers, are going
TO vote for ex-Confederates at the
coming elections That is just about
what they are going 70 do. They
propose to bury the bloody shirt this
year so that Republican papers and
stump speakers will have to find
something else to talk about in the
next campaign.

A BRIEF OPEN LETTER TO THE REPUB-
LICAN NOMINEES FOR CONGRESS.


GENTLEMEN:-The press of the Re-
publican party has announced that
this is to be a campaign of argument.
We shall accept this declaration in
good faith until a contrary policy be-
comes manifest. The ADVOCATE will
deal in no personalities It desires q
full and fair discussion of public is
sues. To facilitate fair understand
ing of your attitude toward the ques-
tions of public policy that constitute
the issues now before the people, The
ADVOCATE earnestly solicits from each
of you a plain, unequivocal statement
of your position upon the following
questions:
First Are you in favor Of the free
and unlimited coinage Of both gold
and silver at the present legal ratio?
If not, what is your position upon
this subjects
Second-Are you in favor of a con-
tinuation Of the national banking sys-
tenn?
Third-Are you in favor of any in
crease of the currency of the countryG
II so, to what extent, in what manner
and what kind of currency?
Fourth-What, in your judgment,
should be the policy of the govern
ment upon the question of transpor-
tation and the transmission of news?
In other words, what should the gov
ernment do with the railroads, the
telegraph and telephone systems?
Fifth-Whst should be done in re-
gard to alien ownership Of American
lands and lands owned by corpora
tions in excess of their actual needs?
THE ADVOCATE offers you reason
able amount of space in which to de-
fine your position upon these ques-
tions in order that you may not be
misunderstood and in order that we
may have basis for that fair discus
sion which we are assured is to char
acterize this campaign. Will you
kindly favor us with your views, ex-
pressed as briefly as possible, at an

intendent, as chairman of the county
text book board, and one of the pub
fishing houses, which necessarily mil
itsted against the school interests,
and must have had a detrimental ef-
feet upon the educational welfare of
the pupils.
In other counties, where sdoptions
were made, the pupils were compelled
to discard good books, which could
have been used two or three terms
longer, and forced to the expense of
purchasing entirely new ones. This
litigation and these unnecessary ex-
penses would have been avoided in
these counties if they had not made
the adoptions.
One reason proposed by county
superintendent in one of the counties
in this state in a circular advising
districts to vote in favor of county
uniformity was the following:
Should county uniformity carry, we could con-
tract for five years, providing our legislature did
not give US relief In that tlme But so, the con-
tract would become null and void
1t occurs to us, and we think it will
occur to anyone who will give it a
moments thought, that the reason
above given is the very best reason
in the world why nothing should be
done at this time. If there is any
prospect that the legislature will act
upon this subject at it's session next
winter, the people certainly should
not subject themselves to the expense
of making a change now, with the
prospect before them of having to
make another change next year.
Then, again, to hold out an induce
ment to make five year contract,
and then to take the advantage of
Legislation to break it, is bad business
policy, to say nothing Of the uncon-
stitutionality of any legislation sbro-
eating existing contracts. This is no
time for unnecessary or ill-advised
expenditures, and as the schools are
now provided with books, and as dis
trict uniformity prevails, it would
seem to be bad policy to make
changes, except so far as to secure
district uniformity wherever it does
not now exist, SO long as the policy
remains unsettled.
irresponsible school book agents,
animated by the sole desire of creating
a market for their books, frequently
try, by direct or indirect methods, to
work up changes, and the larger the
territory embraced and controlled by
the adopting power, the larger will be
the demand for their books, and the
greater will be their zeal to agitate
the question in the hope that the
books in use will be discarded, and an
entirely new supply ordered intro
duced. We feel confident that the
good Judgment of the school officers
of Kansas will not allow them to be
bsmboozled by such clsp-trsp, and
that they will hesitate a long time be-
fore going into any scheme which may
result in confscating thousands of

, know OF any one who pretends thai
Sour protective policy" is the cause Of
the Homestead trouble. That is not
the question. Republicans sustain
this protective policy under the pre-
tense that it secures better wages to
American labor. In the face of this
claim it is a well known fact that all
protected industries are gradually
but constantly reducing wages. The
reduction is made a little at a time,
affecting only a few Of the employees
in each instance, in order to create no
general revolt, but by such methods
they gradually reach the employees Of
all grades. Whenever a revolt occurs
a lockout takes place and Pinkerton
thugs, and, if necessary, the militia
and the army of the United States
are called upon to aid in the substi-
tuition Of non-union for union labor.
This non-union labor ID not infre-
quently imported from foreign coun-
tries to effect the displacement, so
that while the American msnufac-
turer is protected against competition
of foreign goods manufactured by the
"psuper labor Of Europe" the Ameri-
can lsborer is not protected against
displacement by the Importation of
this same pauper labor.
Take the case as it now stands at
Homestead. Mr.. Carnegie and his
fellow patriots are not at all uneasy
about their affairs. Under the laws
of Pennsylvania, enacted by repre-
sentstives chosen by the Shylocks to
look after their interests, the county
in which the works are located is
liable to Mr.. Carnegie's company for
all damages to his works or his bust
ness. 1t matters not to him whether
his works are in operation or not SO
long as he is prevented from opera
ting them by the resistance of the
strikers. After the difficulty ls past
he Will proceed cody to calculate his
damages, and.the people-the tax pay
ers-must foot the bill. It matters
not to him If the works are destroyed.
Mr.. Carnegie in his castle IN Scot
land will simply make an inventory
of his loss, and the tax payers of
Pennsylvania will foot the bill.
The situation then. is simply this.
Mr.. Carnegie is taking no chances in
the transaction. He is engaged in
business in which the government
discriminstes in his favor by a high
protective tariff under the pretense
that it will enable hlm to pay better
wages to labor. Instead of doing so
he reduces the wages of labor, and
when his men decline to submit to
the reduction he locks them out and
calls upon Pinkerton thugs and
finally upon the state militia to sup
port him in displacing those men by
others who, for the time being, will
agree to work cheaper. This is the
issue, gentlemen, which you are called
upon to meet. We do not claim that
the protective system is the cause of

Mlll Contracts.

Mr.. ]. x. Mullen, president of the La
mar Milling and Elevator company, was
in town last Wednesday to make further
arrangements for the new mill.
The site that was donated FOR the mill
was inspected and on account of city
taxes and inconvenience in securing
proper tracl1age new site was pur-
chased by Mr.. Mullen from Mayor Van
orsdole. This new site is a tract OF land
2oox30O feet in the southwest corner OF
that portion OF Mr. yanorsdale's farm,
adjoining town on the east, that lies
north OF the Santa Fe tracks This piece
having 800 feet frontage on the railroad
will be very conveniently located for
side tracks, etc.
Craddock Bros. have entered into an
agreement to make and furnish 535,oto
brick for the mill and various parties
have put in their bids for furnishing
stone. < Mr.. Mullen Will return next
Tuesday or Wednesday aud viii then let
the contracts for the excavating and
stone.
The mill building viii require, besides
the 535,o0o bricks, 1000 perch of stone
stone, 40 car loads of lumber and one car
load of nails, and the most OF the work
in the construction, if not all, will be
done by Prowers county men
The new mill site is being surveyed
to-day and the other work ia TO begin
next week.
