THE seriousness of the failure to en-
force immigration laws has been i'm
pressed upon the country by tho typhus
fever scare resulting from the importa-
tion of several cases through Castle
Garden. it seems as difficult to carry
out the provision of the law at ports of
entry or the Atlantic ocean as to pre-
vent the smuggling of Chinese on our
border. Gen. Francis A. Walker, the
eminent statistician and once superin-
tendent of the census bureau, oppose
that congress shall levy a tax of 800 on
every emigrant admitted to the country.
Such a tax may be too high or too low,
but in any event it seems that such a
law would be both feasible and effective

TAAT SPIKED" LIE,

1t requires very little space to dis
pose of whatever, to inexperienced
or unskilled eyes might appear to
bear the semblsnce of argument in
republican papers, but it requires a
large amount of space to correct all
the misstatements and falsehoods
they contain.
In its issue of the 23d the Capital
spikes a lie, so its readers are in
formed, and this is the Gle" It is
stated that at recent Populist pa
rsde one Of the banners bore this in
scription:
"1,OOOOOO,OOO bushels of wheat
would have paid the national debt in
1876. It will take 2,OOOOOO,OOO bush
els to pay it in 1892"
The Capital after quoting the in
scription proceeds to spike" it in its
usual reliable manner. In order to
do this it manufactures its own sta
tistics for the occasion, and of course,
figures out a clear case. The result
is altogether different, however, if
official fgnres, instead Of those man
ufactured by the Capital are used.
Let us try them and see how far the
inscription on the PopuliSt banner
was out Of the way.
According to the report OF the Sec
retary of the treasury for 1890, page
XCV, the national debt in 1876, the
first date named, was $2,1S0395,-
O67.15. In q foot note to the table

/ decline to meet such appointments.
The members Of our party, although
apparently largely in the majority in the
state, are unable TO secure for US peaceful
and respectful hearing.
I wish to cali special attention to the fact
that the disorder is almost exclusively con-
fined TO young rowdies who infest the towns
and who are melted to violence by persons
who keep in the background. The country
people are uniformly respectful. It is
specially worthy Of note that the disrsspeOt
does not proceed from these people. The
police force at these disorderly points
named made no efforts at resistance.
think it is but fair to say that many peo-
pie, who are not in sympathy with the Peo-
ple's party, openly denounce these outrages
but they seem powerless to assert them
selves.
The mayor of WsycrOss made every effort
to protect our meeting at that point.

What is true of the coWsrdly dem
ocrstiC politicians of the south is like
wise true Of the republican politicians
Of the north, and as they see their
cause becoming more and more des-
perate, those who are engaged in the
great conflict against plutocracy, may
expect to be subjected to greater and
greater indignities. Such is the ten
dency Of the times in all sections
alike, so much so that good men in
all parts Of the country are seriously
in doubt whether the ballot or the
bullet will be the instrument by which
the ends Of justice shall finally pre-
vail. Whether it be by the one or
the other depends upon the continu-
snCe of the outragss now imposed
upon the people.

REPUBLICANS have just recently dis
covered that the Hon. John Madden,
who was one Of the Harrison electors
in 1888, has a very bad record. There
was something in a recent letter
written by him to the chairman Of
the republican state central commit
tee that gave him away and afforded
the clue leading to the discovery.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-09-28

the 90th Of June, issued under act Of
June 8, 1872, for which a like amount
OF United States notes was on special
deposit in the treasury for their re-
demption, and added to the cash bal
snce in the treasury"
We quote the above in order that
we may include like factors in the
debt statement for 1892 as should be
done to insure accuracy Of results.
Now, turning to the report of the
chief of the bureau of statistics of the
United States treasury for 1891, page
XXI, we find that the export price
of wheat in 1876 was 81 "a per bushel.
Having these factors the question of
the number Of bushels required to
pay the national debt at that time
merely involves problem in simple
division, and, carried out in detail, it
is found to be 1,758,389 ,118 bushels.
Now take the official debt state
ment issued by the treasury depart
ment September l, 1892, and we find
the balance of the national debt on
that date to be $1,582,681, ,94963, in
cludlnglike factors with the statement
for 1875. In the Globe Democrat Of
September %, we find the export
price of wheat in New York quoted
at 70 cents. Now, again solving our
little problem in simple division, we
find that it would require 2,198, ,169,-
$50 bushels Of wheat to liquidate the
balance of the debt now unpaid
These figures are official, and, after
an examination Of them the reader
will not find it difficult to determine
whose lie is "spiked."
But there is another little problem
involved in the Capitals bombsstio
"spike." 1t says the government
debt was payable in gold" That is
a subject we hardly thought repub-
licsn editors would refer to. The
government debt was not payable IN
gold by the terms Of the original con-
tract. 1t was not payable in gold
until made 80 by the infamous repub-
lican Legislation enacted after the
bonds were issued. The bonds as
originally issued and bought up at
an average cost of 60 cents on the
dollar we're payable in "legsl money
Of the United States" which included
both silver and greenbacks at the
time, and plutocrstic journals which
have cold chills whenever it is pro-
posed to pay the debt in the same
kind of money in which it was con-
trscted, have nothing to say concern
ing the impairment Of the obligations
of the contract with the people, by
which they are made to pay the debt
with dollars whose purchasing power
has been multiplied since the bonds
were sold. Such is the sophistry and
hypocrisy of modern republicsnism.

PLUTOORATTO ANARCHY.

"@N@~~A 49, NSNNA~eA ~ SSSN%
cratic anarchy is rapidly leading.
The demobratic party Of the south
and the republican party Of the north
vie with each other in their exhibition
Of the spirit Of intolerance; and the
shooting Of Sam Small in Indiana and
the demonstration against General
Weaver in Georgia would seem to
entitle them to about an equal amount
OF glory, while the reception of Jerry
Simpson at Wichita shows that Kan
sas is determined not to be very
far behind. The Hutchinson NeWs,
the local mouthpiece of the bosses,
speaks approvingly Of the latter out
rage, and insults the good people Of
its own city by the villainous libel
that the best business men Of the city
approved it.
The republican press in referring
to the outrage upon General Weaver,
speak of it as q result Of conditions
peculiar to the south, intentionally
ignoring like exhibitions Of intoler-
ance and violence in the north. The
fact is, this same spirit is abroad all
over the land. It is the one common
spirit of anarchy which actuates the
Wall street end Of the two old parties
alike, and which extends out through
their most distant rsmifcations where
ever that influence has found q foot
hold.
We can find no suitable terms in
which to fittingly characterize the
treatment of General Weaver in |
Georgia, but we are not so blind or
30 unreasonable as to charge it to the
good people of that state indiscrimi-
nstely. In Georgia as in Indiana and
in Kansas, there are gangs Of hood
lums who are ready to go at the bid
ding of the political hsrlots who
control the dominant parties of the
two sections. General Weaver him
self states the true condition in Geor-
gis in the following letter to the state
central committee:
