ABOUT PARTIES.

There is Now No Party Advocating Pure
Jeffersopian Democracy, Unless it Be the
Peoples Party.
A political party is an organization
of citizens for tn. promotion of cause
which effects the policy of the govern
ment The organization is effected be-
cause only through organization can a
question of public policy be success
fully advanced. There are two views
prevalent concerning parties One is
that it is org 1nized to formulate an
idea, while another is that it is an or
ganization to present an idea already
formulated. The latter is the correct
view. Citizens are expected to think
for themselves and to ally themselves
with party which promulgates their
ideas.
Many circumstances have arisen late
ly which go to prove that party collars
are worn very loosely these days. The
very atmosphere is pregnant with the
odors of independence. The common
mas are bold to say to parties YOU
must do this; we demand this of Won
The parties seem to be hesitating. The
leaders are estimating on the effect of
the compliance; many of them speak as
though they had decided to ignore the
peoples demands. They evidently do
this anticipating the power OF the party
lash. Again we wish to admonisb
these bosses that the people will never
again be driven. They can be tolled
by throwing to them the bait of their
choosing. which is principles
Political parties are a matter of
growth, and new parties are the result
of dissatisfaction existing among the
members of the old parties Never
perhaps, in the history of the country
was there as much evident dissatisfac-
ton as at the present time; the people
are in advance of the so-called leaders.
and the party bosses seem to have no
disposition to learn. Can it b. that
history is to repeat itsall::s The figbt
winch put the republican party in
power began in 1860 in way similar
10 the present condition. The people
were determined; the bosses also chose
the same rule or ruin" policy that is
oelng pursued to-day, and after every
thing had been done to disrupt the DOM
inant party it went into convention
and the bosses who were unable to
control bolted. but the split really
occurred on the election of the speaker
the fall before No sooner had the
democratic party split than the whig
party, which had only bsen held to-
gether by its opposition to democracy,
the same as the republican party is now
held together, it, too. went to pieces
and the third or minority party came
into power. The so-called democratic
press of the south to-day is doing more
to insure the division Of aud the subse-
quent defeat of the party than all other
forces combined, and that, too, when
third party of no mean proportions
threatens to become an active factor in
the next canpaig1. People learn much
more rapidly to-day than they did
thirty years ago, and radical polit.

CAN BE NO WORSE.

II 1t Il Conspiracy For the Farmers to
Hold Their WheIt, why Can the Sub
Treasury a Gigantic Conspiracy.
The Globe Democrat. speaking Of the
farmers holding their wheat. says:
''It is directly contrary to the pro-
fessed sentiments and purposes of the
order, and cannOt be demanded in point
of justice and morality"
The trouble with the Globe, and
other papers of like views, is, they fail
to discriminate between the producer
and speculatnr. The producer is in no
sense of The word a speculator and has
a perfect right to hold the products of
his labor until he thinks the level of
prices is reached There Is nothing
smacking of conspiracy in this He
does not withhold from the consumer
but from the speculator When the
consumer begins to take his products
and the market is not over-supplied the
level of prices is reached. It is the
conspiracy of specuIators which the
farmer is fighting that seems to be-
causing the Globe Democrat and other
papers SO much trouble.-National Re.

From the above synopsis of the re-
ports OF the state and private banks in
the state of Kansas, taken from the
Kansas Farmer, some interesting facts
are to be CLEANED. In this connection
merely wish to call attention to the
fact that with an acknowledged la
bility of $50, 257, ,9s1, consisting almost
entirely of supposedly cash items, the
banks have on hand, in cash of all
kinds and bonds, checks and ''other
cash items" only an aggregate sum of

half consists of items more or less nm.
certain in their nature depending upon
certain contingencies, such as the
solvency of other banks, the soundness
of personal checks and the certain
validity and value of "other bonds and
stocks" The residue of the claimed
resources, anou lting to nearly twenty
four millions of dollars, consists of
loans and discounts, slightly over one
and a half million dollars being loans
on real estate, while the balance of
about twenty-five millions of dollars
is 'loans and discounts on personal
and collateral (chattel) security" 4,
How can it be claimed with anv show
OF consistency that that the Kansas
banks are safe. souni and solvent.
when, at the same time, It is claimed
that United States banks with the

would be unsound, unsafe and insolv-
ent because the money was loaned
upon just such security as the banks
now consider as available assets?"
