do our plain duty. We should not
be persuaded to vote for men who
do not represent our ideas on the
leading issues by some smooth
tongued orator telling us we were
throwing our votes away. we
never throw our votes away when
we vote our principles, but we
worse than throw them away if we
vote against our principles. A
great man once said, 81 would rather
be right than president and we
can do no better than follow such
teachings.
Our nation represents very ex-
tensive business firm, with about
Is, 100000 members or stock;hold-
! ers. Each one interested in the
business of this firm should be pres
ent at the regular election of officers
and see that men are elected who
are interested in the prosperity and
stability of the firm, and not men
who are anxious to fill their own
pockets at the expense OF the other
members. We of the male sex will
have to represent the interests OF
the ladies', however, as well as our
own, for the past managers have de-
clared that no woman shall vote.
Possibly at some future time we
will be able to throw some OF the
responsibility on the shoulders OF
every one holding stock in said firm.
Let us study our government in a
business-like manner, and see that
it is conducted on business princi-
pies.
Now, in conclusion, let us enum-
crate some of the evils we are to
guard against in making up our po-
litical views. Observation-Disclosures,
thoughtlessness, carelessness, our
love of money, believing everything
we hear and read, and, greatest of
all-prejudice. A prejudiced man
reminds us of poor old cow that
has been hit on the head with a
stone. She shuts both eyes and
runs to one side until she strikes an
obstacle or falls into ditch. Let
us keep our eyes open and keep out
of the ruts. HUGO.

the premium on gold. He failed to
explain that silver had been demone-
tized at all, merely giving the above
as the foundation for the charge that
the Republicans had demonetized sill
yer; claimed, also, that they were
fully in favor of the coinage OF sill
yer. l noticed he did not use the
word Gree" though.
Will you please state in your next
paper whether silver was, in '73, as
he stated, obrth 8 IL per cent more
than gold.
One notable feature of their parade
was youth dressed as woman
very slatternly one-placarded
"Mrs. Lease"-a nice way to treat a
woman who they claim to have speak
ing for their party in Indiana. If
you have space please answer my
question, as many are anxious to
know. We can none of us recall to
mind any such condition of money
matter.
The hall was crowded at their
meeting last evening, but wagon
loads Of Peoples party men and
women were there, and the cheering
was all done in the southeast corner
of the room.
| must say l am proud that,
though we women cannot help our
party THIS fall, there will be five sol
id votes from my home for the right.
Mrs. MACON.
The fact that the silver dollar has
been at a premium over the gold
dollar at various times in the history
of the nation is no argument against
the coinage of the silver dollar. If
Funston would give Congressman
KEN or some other Peoples party
statesman another $50 bill, he might
get another lesson in finance. He
is talking contrary to what he did
two years ago. His ideas are all
borrowed - furnished direct from
Wall strickland his utterances are
unworthy of any consideration Ed.

SOME INTERESTING LETTERS.
A YOUNG MANS ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN

y
the right of franchise for the first
time. In view of this fact, we
thought it not out of place to have
short talk with our young friends
who are readers of the AGITAToR.
AS we belong to the above-named
class. we ask the older heads who
may peruse this effusion not to crit
icise us boys too severely.
Dear young brothers, when you
go to the polls on election day, be
sure you go with clear brains and
unprejudiced minds, noble purpose
and a clear understanding of what
you are doing. Remember, there
is great responsibility resting on
your shoulders. We believe this is
the highest right of man, and if any
man fails to properly exercise this
right, he fails to do his duty to his
country, his fellows and himself.
1t is not to be supposed that all
young men will think and vote alike
any more than their fathers have
done, but let us hope they will think
and vote for themselves. The
young men of America have clear
and active intellects, and they
should be properly trained to act in
accordance with the circumstances
of the present time.
1t has often been truly said that
the boys of to-day will be the men
of tomorrow and, as this is the
case, let us boys so study the pres
sent political situation that, as we
are called upon to assume the re-
sponsibilities of citizenship, we will
be able to carry out such duties in a
manner which will be both benefit
and an honor to our country.
Let us study the situation careful
ly and thoroughly, from every point
of view. There are many great
and mighty issues before the Amer
lean people, and it will be our duty
to decide them, judic:ously or 9TH
erwise. Our fathers have confront
ed and settled many deep and knot
ty questions, and they have also
unearthed and agitated questions
which will fall on us for settlement.
Let us not take them up with few
narrow, prejudiced ideas of govern
ment, but let us develope broad
and solid foundation, and then build
ideas to correspond with it.
As we take up the ballot, let us
do it like men. We should not be-
come so strongly attached To any
party or idea that we cannot see
beyond and above it to catch some
thing better should it be there to
catch. We will never find polit-
ical party that will just exactly suit
us. A man who agrees with any
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1892-11-03

The two old parties are now on
their last legs. If they succeed in
electing the. next president, it will
be the last one they will ever get.
They have deceived and betrayed
the people. They have sold out to
the money kings of Great Britain.
The financial legislation of congress
since 1861 proves this to be fact.
They have sinned against God and
humanity, and our Bible tells us
that "the wages of sin is death"
