For the ADVOCATE.
THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

OH how long throughout the nation that our
hero sires once wreSted
From the grasp Of naughty tyrants, when their
storms Of death bolts flew,
Shall the shadow Of oppression, the sole stain
that rests upOnlt,
Here disgrace the proud old flag Of the red,
white and blueP
Oh! how long upon the threshold Of the hum
bic cot Of labor
Shall there stand the greedy form Of ShylOck
to deV0ur
From weary hands that earned it and from
cllngng hearts that loYe 1t,
That dearest spot on earth, keen TO filch from
their power?
But the people from the grain-heldS OF the
mighty Mississippi,
From the golden seas Of cotton in the sunny
south land grown,
From the changing workshops dreary and the
factOry'S dull torture,
From the dingy mines are coming to demand
and take their own.
Like the sound Of many waters now their min
gled voices murmur;
Like the deep roar Of the tempest now they
break In majesty.
IT'S the conscience Of nation that 10 speaking
forth its ethics;
'TiS q nations heart that's beating; It's the
peoples grand decree.
Hail the glorious reformation toward the
church Of simple justice;
Hall the essence Of religion that Is breaking
Into view;
Hall the qulckened SympathieS that have
bridged the bloody chasm;
Hall the larger recognition Of the means to
gain the right. B.F. Powers.

10! THE ASS BRAYETH.
From the Lantern.
Says the Topeka Capital:

Says the Topeka Capital:
The announcement by the Associated Press on
the morning after the election that the Alliance
state and legislative candidates had been sue
cessful would mean the Immediate withdrawal
Of money and confidence.
What money! Whose confidenCe9
We want NO hide-snd-seek about this,
but demand explicit answers.
There is nothing definite in the Capt.
tolls assertion; its proof should be clear
and convincing as the other is plain and
positive.
The Capital and it's echoes throughout
the state have so accustomed themselves
to this sort Of bombsStic generalization,
that they make 1t daily as matter Of
habit, and look silly when asked for
proof.
Would the good farmers Of Kansas
travel off with the money they happen to
have In case they elect an Alliance legis-
latureY
WoNld they lose confidence in them
selves?
Or who is it that would run of with
the money!
In the same issue from which we quote,
the Capital AYERS that the wheat crop OF
Kansas will assuredly reach 100000
bushels.
II also AYERS that the farmers Of this
state will sell s2OOOOO,OOO worth Of farm
products this year.
Who on earth but the farmers them
selves can cause the withdrawal" Of this
vast sum Of money!
Does q state with such an immense
amount Of ready money as the Capital
insists the state Of Kansas has, need TO
be troubled about financial matters, or TO
worry about confidence?
The Capital must try and get Itself to-
gether, or continue to be written down as
an ass.

gold and an generalization Of silver. The
change made in 1884, establishing rela-
tlon of to 16, was as great an error in
the opposite direction, but was accept
able to Georgia and the Carolinas, then
in the flush of great hopes from recently
discovered gold mines, and satisfactory
to the whole country on the theory that
bank notes could be expelled more GER
tainly and readily from the smaller
channels of circulation by gold than by
silver coin.
With the most enlarged Ideas now
prevailing in respect to international in
terests and obligations, it may be reason
ably hoped that the nations which agree
upon the wisdom and policy Of double
standard of money will guarantee to that
policy its best development, by a uniform
relation of value between the metals.
The closure of the mints Of Europe
and the United States against the unre-
stricted coinage Of silver reduces the
current supply and uncoined stock Of that
metal to the level Of commodity in
those countries, deprives It Of the steady
ing influence Of connection with the
vast accumulatlons of coined silver, and
dams it from the channels of circulation,
to take lts chances Of finding purchasers
in the markets. A surplus of silver In
the, London market of even so small an
amount as $1O,OOO,OOO might cause q
serious depreciation In its value. The
extent to which any commodity not In
In present demand can be held specula-
lively In the market, depends upon the
number of persons who possess the capt.
tai to hold 1t, and at the same time
the confidence and temper to induce
them to do 80. Ten million dollars In
silver Is q large and onerous amount
to be carried speculstively, with the loss
of interest and other charges, even In the
London market, but 1t is wholly insig-
nihcant sum in the circulation of even
one considerable country. The much
larger sum placed on the markets by the
German demonetizRtion Of silver, would
not have been felt If France had not have
adopted the policy, without precedent in
history, Of closing lts mlnts to a metal |
which 1t still retained as money in the |
coins already struck from 1t.
Go be cOntinued.)
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-08-17

Those with 300 or more bushels of grain
to sell this fall can doubtless make money
by writing the grain commission men who
advertise in the ADVOCATE regarding the
prices and manner Of shipment.

DIFFICULT DIVISION

A farmer before departing this
world made his will He had in his
possession eighteen horses, but before
the will was proved one of the horses
died, which left only seventeen to be
divided. His eldest son was to get
one-half of the horses, his second son
one-third, and his youngest son one
ninth. These portions were easily
enough separated when there were
eighteen horses to divide, but how to
allot seventeen horses in three parts
was a puzzle They scratched long at
their heads, but could find no way
out of the difficulty. At last they cali
ed in the assistance of the local school
master, who gave them a solution to
the problem.
You have seventeen horses to dis
pose Of Well, seeing you're friends
of mine, will give you the loan of
my old mare 'Bess' which will make
eighteen. To you, Bob, will give
nine horses, which is more than the
half of seventeen; and to you Jim, l
will give six, which is more than one
third of seventeen and to you, Tom,
| will give two, which is fully one
ninth of seventeen. And now, having
given you all your shares, L will take
back my old mare which is left"
And having thus settled the matter
to his own satisfaction, the schoolmas-
ter mounted his mare and rode off.

THY BURDEN

To every one on earth
God gives burden to be carried down
The road that lies between the cross and crown
No lot is freely whole;
He giveth one to thee.
Some carry it aloft,
Open and visible to any eyes;
And all may see its form and weight and size
Some hide it in their breast
And deem it thus unguesSed.
Thy burden is Gods gift,
And it will make the bearer calm and strong,
Yes lest it press too heavily and long,
He says ''Cast it on Me,
And it shall easy be-"
And those who heed His voice,
And seek to give it back in trustful prayer,
Have quiet hearts that never can despair;
And hope lights up the way
Upon the darkest day.
Take thou thy burden thus
Into thy hands, and lay it at his feet,
And whether it be sorrow or defeat,
Or PAIN or sin, or care,
Upon the darkest day.
1t is the lonely load
That brushes out the light and life of heaven,
But borne with Him, the soul restored, for
given,
Sings out through all the days,
Her Joy, and Gods high praise.
