to be one Of the severest winters ever known
in sunny Southern Kansas.

Pree Coinage.

EDITOR PEOPLES VOICE: The free
coinage Of silver is demanded at the
south, the west and silver producing
states because money is scarce. Eas-
tern capitalists reap the harvest and
take the increase, so / hold up both
hands for the free coinage OF silver,
which, with national money issued d.
rect to the people in quantities suffl-
cient to transact all business would
give US the best currency the world
has ever known. AS | see it the de-
mOnetizatiOn OF silver was the most
internal plot ever enacted. India
being the largest dependence Of Eng
land and on silver basis Of fifteen TO
one, which this country largely sup
plies. Through demonetization, sill
yer drops in price. India being our
rival in wheat, English capitalists
combined with ours with deprecated
silver buy wheat in high standard
India, divide the profits and fix the
price Of our wheat in Liverpool.
Free coinage would restore the value
Of both silver and wheat and every dol
lar issued, be it silver or a national le-
gal tender money, would take
the place Of credit dollar and would
benefit labor Of all kinds. The bug
abOO Of this country becoming the
dumping place Of the worlds silver Is
too foolish to contemplate as long as
silver is used as basis in some Of the
best nations of the earth.

Christianity and Our Modern Society as
Looked at by One Of0ur Common
pponla

Icupits
Ministers OF the church, orators
and statesmen often allude to our
christian civilization, the great good
it has done in.liftlng humanity from
darkness to light, to all of which /
say amen. But when they attempt
to mix up the modern society with
christianity as laid down by the Saw
iOur Of mankind, they INSULT his
memory. Will any one with common
sense believe that the aristOcratic
club Of four hundred in our large
cities has any sympathy with His
doctrine and practice? Yet they de-
nOunce our political and social exist
ence. But we may take it nearer at
home, right in our own little town.
Think Of a gospel minister going out
electiOneering on the morning Of elec-
tiOn day, as was done here in Conway
Springs and that for party too, con-
trolled by railroads and bankers.
Where, oh where, will you and the
tender spot for the lOwly and poor in
that reverend gentleman's heart?
IwOuld like to see some Of the reform
papers touch up these gentlemen and
let them know where their proper
place is. II the cause of christianity
suffers it must be charged to the ny.
pOcrisy practiced within its ranks.

The Worlds Fair.

Those who expect to attend the
Worlds Fair should remember that
to go there without any previous ar.
rangement for quarters will result in
their paying exorbitant prices to
meet, for, it may be, not very desir-
able accommodations. Therefore |
desire to call the attention Of our cit
izens to the following;
! have now made arrangements
with the Protective Entertainment
Association" Of st. Louis TO accom-
mOdate all who may desire to 60 from
Southern Kansas. OF course, there
is limit to the number possible for
us to entertain. Therefore, those ap-
plying first will be served first. The
rate per week for lodging only is
$50, one dollar to be paid to Inc for
each week you desire to stay upon be-
coming a member, which is to be de-
posted in Wellington National Bank
subject to my order, after you are sat
isfed that all is as represented. The
other 81 so for each week is to be paid
on your arrival in the encampment.
We have made arrangements to Sc
cure everything necessary to make
you comfortable. You will not be To-
Gated in the crowded portion Of the
city, but upon the lake shore, where
you will be favored with purer atmos-
phere; and also you will be surround
ed with those from your own home or
locality, making your visit much
more enjoyable. We have a large
auditorium in which lectures by dis
tinguished speakers will be given free
to these who become members OF this
association. II you desire your meals
furnished, they will be put up in good
wholesome style as to cooking, quail
ity and variety for not to exceed
twenty-five cents per meal. Other
wise you can furnish your own meals.
We have called attention TO our first
train about June l, 1893, but if any
one or number desire to 90 at an ear
lier or later date, or If you should de-
sire to go by yourself, this is optional
as we expect to accommodate all al
any time during the fair, so long a:
we have room. BY examination OF al
companies you will find this by fal
the cheapest Of any up to date and nC
one furnishing more desirable accom-
modations, especially when you take
into consideration the probable dis
tress from various causes, fire, disease
ETC., it will be given up at once that
our location is preferable to any in
the crowded portion Of the city.

South Haven New Era.

Several months ago, as many Of our
citizens will remember, an agent was
through here taking orders for the
enlarging OF pictures at the nominal
price Of so cents each, and that he
took good many orders, always TAX
ing the cash and the picture to be en-
larged. 1t will be further remem-
bered by all who patrOnized the agent
that he was never heard from again.
This week Mrs. s. f. Boucher brought
over from Arkansas City, where they
had been left with a photographer,
most of the small pictures, which
were delivered by her to their owners.
She could learn nothing regarding the
agent who perpetrated the fraud, and
only by accident discovered the pic
lures. Two of the unclaimed pictures
are now at the pOstOfiice for idcnti-
rcitiOn.

Can You Explain This!

Since 1860 the European nations
have drawn from the United States in
excess Of all imports of gold, silver
and merchandise, the following:
Gold in excess OF imports, S543, ,079, l07;
silver in excess Of imports, s435, 1884,
lis; merchandise in excess Of
imports, s5lS, S,440,l6l; total, ST..
493,5O3,3S6. How have the Eu-
ropeans paid for the billions Of
property they have acquired in this
country since 1860? That they have
it is plain. They own One-third or
more of the United States. How
have they done it? What besides
gold, silver or merchandise could they
have paid for it? Neither of these
have they paid is plain. The national
bankers know how it is done, but the
poor, ragged, ignorant chumps who
follow party leaders still vote for
continuance of the crimes. The
ignorance Of the masses is the oppOr-
tunity of the rich.-CriSiS.
The above clipping from the issue
Of Dec. l6 is gem. The gold, silver
and merchandise, in excess of imports,
was collected from the citizens of the
United States, through which they
hold about One-third of our indebt-
edness through credits as capital in
place Of money. Money is true capi'
tai. Place credits in place of money,
then comes usury called interest
The result of which is one-third OF
the Indebtedness Of the peO
pie Of the United States, held by for
eign capitalists, the other two-third:
by home capitalists. Interest due
Europe s77O,OOO,OOO per annum which
accounts for the large shipments o.
gold, silver and merchandise over i'm
ports.
Pay them of in legal tender money
as the debts were made by replacing
money with credits, that an interest
might be charged it is very plain, w
must replace credits with money, that
we may stop the usury. There is nc
other way TO be free.
