Mr.. Porter calls attention to the
uniformity of the figures relative to
the several counties as fairly indicat-
ing the average condition of the en-
tire state.
It will be observed that in Kansas
the tenant farmers have increased IN
the past decade 20. II per cent At
this rate how long ere Kansas will
become tenant state? asks the To-
peka Advocate. There is another
fact to be observed in this connection.
The conditions which have brought
about the result indicated by Mr..
Porter's bulletin No Is, are only just
beginning to produce their effects,
and the absorption of Kansas farms
will progress much more rapidly in
the next than in the past decade.
Observe further that the state of
Ohio is an old aud a wealthy state.
Under fair conditions its tenant farm
ers should be diminishing rather than
increasing. In fact this should be
true of every state either old or new
Still in Ohio they have increased
II. II per cent
This may be calamity, but if so Mr..
Porter is responsible for it. The i'm
portant fact for all classes of people
to consider is. what is the cause of
not about time for rational men to
cease their party ldolatry long enough
to investigate this subject?

The old GreenbackerS have their
old opponents in the West on the run
by the claim that when the national
debt was due, that they proposed to
pay it off in greenbacks. the same
money borrowed of the bondholders.
That they were ridiculed for it; and
their ridiculers contended that equity
and justice demanded that the bonds
should be paid in coin. Now the old
soldiers contend for the same equity
and Justice to them that was ex-
tended to the bondholders, to-wit: To
pay them the difference between coin
and greenbacks for their services
while in the army. The question in
the North is a very important one.
The southern Greenbacker was made
the subject of jeer for his maintain
ing the same position. The same
crowd who jeered at the Greenbackers
will now have to jeer at those who
oppose the soldiers demand in order

The moral taught in the fable of the
sheep and wolves is good. The
wolves told the sheep that they were
very silly and foolish to keep those
big lazy dogs to guard them that the
dogs would rob them and eat up their
lambs. and would not let them go to
the sweetest pasture. The silly sheep
dispensed with the dogs and the
wolves led them to a lonely valley. and
devoured the whole flock at their
leisure. Moral you had better heed

Andrew Carnegie, one Cf the great
upholders of protection who wax warm
with enthusiasm over tariffs for los
tering home Industries and raislng
workingmen's wages tells San Fran
cisco reporter that the first and most
important lesson he learned IN the art
of money getting was that lit isn't
the man who does the work who makes
the money; it's the man who gets
other men to do it, Mr.. Carnegie
has hit the bulls eye. Men do not get
rich by working but by getting other
men to work for them. This is the
secret of great fortunes. No man can
make fortune but he may get others
to make one for him. But how? Why
will some men work to make others
rich. when they cannot by working
become rich themselves? 1t must be-
because they are forced to. What
forces them? Their necessities. How
does the man who gets them to work
take advantage of their necessities!
He does it by securing legal control
of opportunities to work. If his
ownership of opportunities be
large. he becomes rich with
out working. by getting" other
men to work; they remain
poor, though they produce all that
makes him rich. Mr.. Carnegie is q
type of the man who makes money by
getting permitting" is the bet
ter word-other men to DO work.
Some of the richest coal deposits have
been made over to Mr.. Carnegie ia
defiance of the rights of those whom
he gets" to work: and he permits
men to take out coal on shares. just
as the Yankee in the story allowed
freedmen to gather driftwood in the
Mississippi river on condition of CIV
ing him half He makes the money;
they do the work. He is shrewd; they
are ignorant OF their rights. But Mr..
Carnegie has somewhat improved this
plan OF taking other peoples property
away from them. He obtained from
congress a law placing penalty on
the importation of steel rails which
enabled, him to sell his own steel rails
to his adopted countrymen for more
than they would otherwise have paid.
Thus he grew rich. not alone by get
ting" others to work for HIM at low
wages as compared with their prod
duct but also by getting others to
buy from him at exorbltant prices. 1t
is grand scheme, this which enables
the man who gets other men to do the
work to make all the money; a grand
scheme-for the Carnegies. The
Standard.
The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1892-06-03
Is 1t True?

The subsidized press and single
standard advocates are just now in
dustrlously circulating the statement
that a change of sentiment" has re-
Gently taken place on the silver ques-
ton. This is the excuse congressman
give for the failure to pass the silver
bill in the house If there is change
what has caused it? A few months.
or even a few weeks ago you could
scarcely find a man in all the great
West Northwest and South who was
not a persistent and determined advo-
cate OF the free coinage of silver not
on account of any special love Of sill
yer. or any personal interest in silver
mines or silver bullion. but because
they knew that the gold was owned
and cornered by the plutocratic
millionaires. and that holding to a
single gold standard made these
men princes and rulers over us
The people felt the need of broader
base for our money. felt the need Of a
money freer from plutocratic control.
They naturally turned to silver as the
money OF the constitution of the earli-
est days Of the republic and of the
fathers. 1t involved no experiment;
it was simply getting back into the
channel worn by eighty years of sue
cessful use. 1t complied with the
wild clamor Of few years ago for
hard money" 1t afforded the least
Objectionable plan for an increased
monetary base. and broadened finan-
, cial system.
Now, if there is change of senti-
ment on this subject, what has made
it? Not a single condition has
changed. In fact, there has been no
change OF sentiment among the peo-
! pie in regard to the justice of free
coinage. The Indignation of the peo-
pie however, has increased rapidly
! since the streachery Of the Democratic
ma. ority in its defeat of the Bland
! bill. and is crystalizing toward indie
! pendent action to secure their rights
and enforce their wishes

Nine Versus Twelve.

There are more than sixty three
millions of people in the United States.
The family average is put at five per-
sons This would make in the United
States something more than twelve
million homes Mr.. Porter's census
figures show the actual number of
homes to be II, 600. 900. Mr.. Porter's
census also shows that nine millions
of these homes are mortgaged. Three
fourths of all the homes in the United
States are under direct tribute to the
money power! This is taxation in
conceivable for no matter what we
call it. it is tax. and must be paid
out of the resources of the home.
For this condition of things the
government of the United States may
% justly held responsible. Every one
Of these mortgages. the warrants to
tax is child of our credit system;
not one of them would have been
made had there been no credit sys-
tenn. A scarcity of money is both
father and mother of debt People
must live and do business. If they
cannot get money to do cash bust
ness they will do credit business
The only source of money supply is
the general government; no other
power can make money. Hence if
money is scarce the government is re-
sponsible for it. If a credit business
is done. the government is RESPONSE
BILE for it. for if it. being the only
power that can do so, had provided a
sufficiency of money, people woul d
have done a cash business. no debts
would have been contracted. and no
mortgages made. Hence the govern
ment is responsible In general way
for this mortgaged condition Of the
homes Of the people for permitting its
people to be taxed by private indi-
viduals, corporations and foreign syn
dicates. Had a foreign power pre-
sumed to levy tax upon United
States citizens the dogs Of war would
have been called from their kennels.
and would have swan to the offend
ing nation on a sea of blood. But
combines. gold ,hoarders plutocrats
and syndicates, may tax the people
at will. may, pirate-like lay three
fourths of Americas homes under
tribute and not one word of protest
comes from the American govern
ment; but on the contrary, laws
needed to rivet this taxation upon the
people are promptly enacted. and all
means of relief denied.
But all things have an end Day
ends in night quiet in turbulence
peace in war. safety in danger, hope
in despair life in death. God save
our country from the fate of other
nations from an ending in blood, but
he who sees no danger is asleep and
blind. Southern Alliance Farmer

Why He3ftate?

A fighting policy has been deter
mined upon as against the Alliance in
the South. more active and vigorous
than ever before. A Washington
correspondent of the political press
thus refers to that policy:
The Southern men are all greatly
troubled by the third party movement,
and they are coming to appreciate
now that a mistake was made in not
meeting the issues squarely when the
movement first started instead of
temporizing and trying to conclliate
the Alliance leaders. A good many of
them have come to the conclusion that
while the mistake made then can not
be corrected. better results will follow.
their making the fight now. and maxi
ing it earnestly than can be obtained
by further temporizing." < X
There appears to be nothing left but
to make the fight, and it is generally
agreed that the only way to win is to
fight boldly at every point
So you hay seeds down South
must now know that in accordance
with the proposition OF Congressman
Williams of Massachusetts. a choice
has been made between alliance with
New England Democracy and South
ern Farmers Alliance and that the
former has been chosen.
What are you going to do about it,
Are you going to submit? Are you
going to cringe under the crack of a
party whip? Having stated your
grievances and made your demands.
and having them spurned and your
selves kicked from the foot of the
golden throne. are you going to play
the part of slave and go back to la
Dor for your plutocratic masters? do
not believe it. because any backward
step at this time would not only show
that the farmers and laborers have no
true conceptions of the awful issues
involved, but it would also demon
strate that their hearts were too craven
to deserve liberty and freedom.
1t is propitious time or the ''Peo-
pics part" to show its strength. In
all probability there will be four if
not five presidential tickets in the
field unless gold proves able to har-
monte the present conflicting ele-
ments.
Since it is so evident that the Dem
ocrats and Republicans of the East
have joined their forces to defeat all
financial legislation in the interest of
the people, why should the South and
West hesitate any longer? The fight
has to be made. The promises and
pledges of politicians are worth moth
| ing. Democracy has become hollow
sham. Republicanism has become
| the arch enemy of the plain people. y
