TO THE VOTERS OF AMERICA.

Now that the conventions are over and
the tickets are In the field, marshalling
the forces must begin. The lines are
drawn, and the most momentous political
contest for quarter of century Is upon
us. The lovers of gold and the enemies
of liberty, the monopoly fed and trust
fattened; cormorsnts, the partisan bigot
and political teaches, are united against
the people. Success at all hazards Is
their determination. There is no life too
dear, no character too sacred, no ballot
too pure to escape their selfish, avsriclous
assaults. Villfcation, slander, libel. and
personal violence If need be, will be re-
sorted to. Organization, colonization,
"blocks of flve," tens and twenties, fraud,
pergery and bribery will be. their wesp-
ons in the present campaign. Home
workmen are to be crowded out and back
to make way for imported voters. Ex-
orbitant freight rates are to be extorted
from the farmers, merchants and con-
sumers, to swell the campaign fund and
despoil and corrupt the ballot box. Com
plete organization, liberal donations

The above is a sample Of the fair

Of our platform reads as follows:
We demand graduated income tax.
This is certainly sufficiently explicit
upon this subject. We have also
published from time to time articles
upon the general subject Of taxation,

with sufficient clearness that it need
not be misunderstood. Will the Cap

TO RRPREsS CRIME.

We have received a marked copy Of
the Western Times, containing an ar
ticle under the above title in which it
is held that there should be a law
enacted compelling every boy and
young man to visit the state peniten-
tiary at least once in two years in
order to impress upon the youthful
mind the horrors of prison life, which,
it is held, would exercise a restrict
ing influence against the commission
of crime.
The theory is based upon an entire
misconception Of the true principles
of moral education. Children should
be taught to do the right, because 1t
is right, and because an upright and
a moral life will always bring a higher
order of enjoyment than the opposite.
In short they should be educated
through the higher and not through
the lower faculties of the human
brain.
Teach child to avoid evil through
fear Of punishment, and he never sp-
preciates the higher motives of hu-
man action. He forgets also that
there is any other reason for doing
right and he will soon begin to
calculate the chances of escape from
the consequences of wrong doing. In
such case he will nearly always figure
that he is shrewd enough to hide his
acts from the world, and will readily
yield to the besetting temptations of
life.
No, do not take the children to the

The Western Times, which recon-
mends a biennial trip to the peniten-
tiary as a safeguard against crime,
republishes the old gag of the two
letters, the one from L. L. Polk an
swefing one question, and the other
from the editor Of The ADVOCATE an
an entirely different question, and
conveying the impression that they
are contradictory answers to the same
question. We suggest that the edi-
tor take trip to the pen.

THE Nelps-R Record Is authority for the inior-
nation that Mr. William A. Pinkerton is a
Democrat, and that 90 per cent. of his men are
Democrats, too. Workingmen inclined to blame
protection for the Homestead troubles should
make a note Of Hutchinson NelCs.
This item credited, to the NetcS, we
have seen in nearly every Republi-
can paper in the country. 1t must
be considered important or it would
not be so extensively circulated, and
we fail to see the particular point in
il which can be profitable to the Re-
publican party. If it be a fact that
the Pinkertons are mostly Democrats

THE HUMBUG OF PROJECTION.

Inh nUMDUU OF FhOIECIAUNs
Under this head the Capital OF
July 20 undertakes to criticise the
views Of The ADVOCATE respecting the
reduction of the workmen's wages at
Homestead. In this criticism the
Capital says:
Let us look at the Homestead trouble. It
grew out Of a fall In the price OF steel bill
lets from S2S to a22 a ton, WbereupOn the
proprietors wanted to reduce the wages In
proportion but the Wage-earners would not
consent. The first fact Of Importance, then, is
that this vast production, created by protection
and now supplying the American Market not q
dollars worth Of the product, except certain
quality In small quantity, having been imported
In the last two years, has brought about reduc-
ton of nearly 25 per cent. In the price Of the
commodity in the last three years.
Why did not the Capital proceed
to tell its readers the process by
which this reduction Of steel billets
was brought about? After securing
the agreement of the workmen to the
basing of their wages upon this single
product of their works, the company
proceeded deliberately to carry out a
policy designed to reduce the price of
this product. The Duquense plant,
one of the largest owned by the COM
pany, was devoted exclusively to the
production of steel billets, it's capacity
was increased, and the market flood
ed, for the very purpose of bringing
about the desired reduction. This
fact was brought out in the lnvestigs-
tion before the congressional commit
tee; and the men testified that it was
the result of q conspiracy, which fact
they could establish if they could
have the opportunity.
With such a condition Of things
prevailing, with the manufacturers Of
the company protected against for
eign competition, while the company
enters into a conspiracy for the re-
duction of wages, and while the wage
workers have no protection against
the "pauper labor" which is held up
as the great scsre-crow before the
American laboror, we repeat that the
Republican pretense of protection to
American labor is fraud, and the
protective policy of the party is
humbug, and the Capital cannot con-
trovert this proposition.

it is also a fact that Republicans are
willing to hire them to do their kill
ing Of laboring men, and so where
have they anything to crow overt
The fact is that the Pinkertons are
lawless band of cut-throats for whose
existence there is no shadow of su-
thority. Every man, woman or child
shot down by them is murdered; and
when Republicans hire these Demo
cratic thugs to do the killing which
they are too coWsrdly to do them
selves they show themselves the more
contemplate Of the two, especially
when they undertake to shift the re-
sponsibility upon an opposing party.

dlence to their plutocrstic rustlerS, is
their hope Of success. We must be
awake to the necessity OF work. To fail
TO realize our situation, and work to
meet an unscrupulous and insidious foe
is defeat to our principles and danger to
our liberties. The need for close, con-
servative organization was never greater.
Open political clubs are insufficient. We
cannot afford to drift in fancled security
when the political worms are destroying
the bulwarks of American liberty. If we
would throw off the corporation incu-
bus we must think, act and vote, and
see that our votes are counted. If we
have q free ballot and fair count, we
must organize land stand together like
men and patriots. No organization for
the education Of the masses In the enter
ests Of justice and equality should be
allowed to dissolve or lose It's power.
Each reform organization has legitimate
mission and field of labor.
The Farmers Allience, Knights of La
Dor and kindred organizations are nom
partisan and educational in their charac-
ter, and are composed of a membership
limited to certain classes, and are there
fore restricted in their work. But each
has noble and useful work to perform.
The National Citizens Industrial ALI
snce is composed of membership from
all stations and callings in life who
stand squarely upon the vt. Louis plat
form, and while not partisan organiza-
ton, 1t Is political, and will work for the
party adopting Its principles, and the
Peoples party having done this, we take
our stand and pledge our support to
Weaver and Field, and the Peoples party
tickets In every state In the Union. Our
membership Is composed of merchants,
farmers, lRborers and business or profess
sional men of all csllings, irrespective Of
whether they are members Of other reform
organizations not, and we meet upon a
common level to devise the safest and
best method to meet and resist our COM
mon enemy. While working in perfect
harmony, we occupy field unoccupied
by any other reform organization. The
National Citizens Industrial Alliance is
a national organization; It's mission is a
good one, Its existence a necessity. The
work of reform education In business
circles, guarding and protecting the bal
lot against illegal voters, fraud and brlb-
cry, Is essential, and must be done by
reliable, conservative, organized effort.
The plans for successful work cannot be
laid in open view of the enemy. There
Is much to be done In an important con-
test like this that must Q we'll and care
fully planned.
Our organization Is well adapted for
that work-it is for that purpose. Politl-
cal clubs and committees need all of the
assistance they can get, and our purpose
Is to assist them with well matured and
organized plans. Surely we must fight
If we would WIN in this struggle, and to
fight we'll the National Citizens Indus
tial Alliance should be thoroughly or
ganizsd in every city, town and hamlet
In the land. Let every patriotic reformer
join US, put his shoulder to the wheel
and help US on to Washington. With
united efforts, patriotism and the people
will be victorious. NOAH ALLEN,
National President.

How soon does the Etns Loan
company expect to make the changes
suggested in its "by-lsws" and plan
of operation?
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-07-27

THIS from George T. Anthony should be-
pasted In the hat Of every man who howls against
the Mckinley law, or who declares that "the
tariff Is a tax"
In our ibrief experience under the Mckinley
bill nearly every article on which the duty was
Increased, to make 1t protective, has been cheap
ened In cost to the consumer, or given him a
better article at no greater cOst.-LdlCTence
Journal.
There are two propositions sd-
vanced by the high protective tariff
advocates that are absolutely ire
concilable with each other. The first
is that protection enables American
manufacturers to pay better wages
for labor than they could do without
protection. The second is that every
article on which a high duty is placed
is at once chespened in cost to the
consumer.
Now if these philosophers will take
enough time from their abuse and in
suit Of Mrs. Lease to explain how the
American manufacturer can reduce
the selling price Of his products in
the market and at the same time
raise the price Of labor or even main
tain it where it was before the price
of his products was reduced, they will
make very small beginning upon
that campaign of argument of which
we have heard so much recently.

so as to accommodate the fGttcst man,
while the space between the rows is so
wide that Goliath himself would have
lots Of room there TO stretch out his legs.
Seated Ia one Of these chairs the visitor
to the Exposition may travel anywhere
and everywhere. This sounds strange,
but the explanation is that Prof. Crom-
well viii occupy the stage in this pretty
little hall, and by the magic Of his sterc-
opticon and his cloqucncc, transport the
audience this minute to the SUM- lit
palaces of the Pharoahs, the next TO
foggy London or the banks Of the Seine
In that city 90 which some Americans
hope 10 go when they die. Professor
Cromwell SAYS that hc never found hall
that suited L-s purpose so well as this
one; the electric lighting apparatus fit
ting In so well with the lecturers sterco-
scopic arrangements, and making easy
those startling transitions from one scene
to another, which arc part OF the charm
of Professors CromWclps entertainments.
Some idea of the range and character of
these personally conducted world tours
may be CLEANED from the itinerary which
Mr.. Cromwell announces. 1t includes
visits % Paris, London, Chicago and the
wild West, Rome, Berlin, Sweden and
Norway, Italy, Jerusalem and the Holy
Land, Ireland, Switzerland, and Il host of
other interesting cities and lands. All
these places are brought before the au-
dienCc through the medium Of immense
photo graphic views. Professor Crom-
wells s.ercopticon IS q superb instru-
ment and the pictures he produces with
it are realistic to a degree. Nor does he
deal with cold bricks and mortar, or in
animate nature exclusively; when he
takes you into England he shows you the
homc-lifc OF its people, and his lectures
on Paris include such interesting excur-
siOns from the beaten track rs glimpscs
Of the great Worlds Fair held there re-
Gently, which IL BIS Chicago's ambition to
eclipse. IN every Journey there are stops
for refreshments as It were when Pro-
fcssor Cromwell exhibits masterpieces Of
painting and sculpture from the art gall
lcries Of Europe, or some notable allcgory
such as The Rock Of Ages" But good
us the pictures are Mr.. CromWcll's dis
criptivc powers are better still, and
foreign lands are brought vividly before
