plauded from the gallery. His reSOlu-

able shortage in funds because of the
railroads and banks having refused to
contribute. Usually the railroads and
banks are liberal contributors for such
purposes, but the reason they gave for
withholding their encouragement
from the Peoples party was that their
platform was ''inimical" to their inter-
ests. Such being the case then it goes
without saying that the platforms of
the parties to whom they give assist
ance are "imical." Very well, guess
we can get along without a portion of
their "stealingS." The point yielded is
worth more to us than their money.
The committee arranged for a grand
soldiers reunion (the blue and the gray

should be complete by 2p. m. on the
4th so that the evening of Independ-
ence day can be turned into a grand
ratification throughout the land.

In a previous issue we gave at some
length our impressions upon reading j.
b. Viewers last written book, "a Call
to Action Strong as was our endorse
ment, we put cOnstraint upon our high
appreciation of its merits for fear those
who had not read it might consider us
extravagant or biased in his favor.
But we are pleased tolearn from vari-
Gus ones who have been reading it,
that as work upon political jurispru-
dence they regard it not only a master
piece, but the masterpiece of the times.
1t defines the pivotal bearings and
mighty forces that are moving in and
upon social and industrial life in this
country and the world. Pages seem as
chapters. 1t stands in its line without
peer in recent decades, and when
hOrdeS of books shall have been rele-
gated as Worthless verbage. it will
stand in royal place in the Libraries

We have thought that no person of in

ing convert to the Peoples party, al
though it is particularly conservative
and courteous to the old parties.

Chairman Magee gives us an account
of the enthusiastic organization of a
Peoples party club at ArgOnia Satur-
day night. Hon. \. G. Forney was
present and made ringing address
which was well received by all present
regardless of party affiliations. Mr..
Forney illustrated his points by COM
parative maps showing the proportion
ate area, population and increase of
wealth of the western and southern
states as compared with New England
states. The comparisons are based
on the US. census reports as more
fully set forth in the little book by 5.
5. King, of Kansas City. After the
speaking a roll waSprOduced and those
wishing to become members were given
an opportunity to sign their names. A
large clubwaS organized with the fol-
lowing officers: d. w. WhitSell, presi-
dent; G. E. Erwin, vice president; j. II.
Shankland, secretary and 0. Kinsey,
treasurer. The club starts out under
favorable conditions and we have no
fears of Dixon township this fall at the
polls. Bro. FOrney will always be a
welcome guest of the club. He had
spoken to good audience the night
before at Conway Springs. We have
few more faithful and competent work
erS than Bro. FOrney.

The exports of the country for the
past year were over a billion dollars,
which is about One-tenth of our annual
prOductiOn.-MOnitOr.
If we include SlS3,912,S16 specie our
exports were over billion dollars, but
the exports of domestic merchandise
only aggregated sS72,27O,2S3. While
we are on this question perhaps the
Monitor will explain how it
is that our exports of domestic mer-
chandiSe exceeded our imports by s27,-
304,OS7, and instead of our receiving
specie to balance this amount, we sent
out Sl29, 420S02 more than we received.
in addition to our surplus of exports ?
Thus we are shipping our grain to for
eign countries and instead of profting
thereby we are actually paying them
for the privilege of unloading it on
them. This is indeed a thriving for
eign trade, but the more we have of it
the poorer we get.

As the workings of the Mckinley bill
are understood the people begin to
see its benefits and those that voted
against the republican ticket on its
account in 1890, are opening their
eyes, and by the time the ballots are
counted next November it will be
found that those states that seeded
from the republican party will again
be found within the fold. What's

Attorney General Spencer holds
chat that clause of the constitution
referring to sheriffs and treasurers
l,olding their respective Offices for
terms not exceeding four years is not
retroactive and therefore does not
apply to those officers who may
have held said Offices under territor-
ial laws; that is to say. the restric-
tive law cannot take effect until four
years from the first state election in
1890, thus, giving these officers two
full terms. This decision does not
apply to the atterney-general. The
people will hand down a decision
next November to the effect that the
present incumbent is only entitled to
one term.
