This Is Sarcasm.

The Kansas bankers are meeting IN
Topeka to-day. These are the men
who have to bear the brunt of the on
slaught by the Populists. and yet they
are the men who have in the past so
managed the monetary affairs of Kan
sas that to-day she is the foremost
Western state. They have always
stood up for Kansas and they always
will. Topeka State Journal.
This is fne-spun sarcasm. The
bankers have always stood up for
Kansas, and you might add for the
United States, just as the Jew always
stood up for Venice. When civil war
burst upon the country with all its
dreadful calamities, there was the
patriotic banker ready to loan Uncle
Sam his cash provided he could get
as security gold bearing bonds while
the soldier took his $13 month in
deprecated paper. When grasshop-
pers and drought visited Kansas.
spreading desolation far and wide. the
banker was there furnishing money
to keep starvation from the door at
Is per cent. per annum. But there
are some good bankers-some eXcep-
tons to the rule although the good
ones don't seem to prosper as well as
the other kind There were few who
went into the army or helped to care
for the widows and orphans at home
instead of scheming to rob the gov
eminent and there were those who
have assisted the unfortunate in Kan
sas. If we could only regulate the
system so that honesty in the bust
ness would not be discouraged. the
banking fraternity would be one of
the best in the world. Topeka Ad-

During the Home stead Riots at

Congress appointed an Investigating

Congressman Watson tried for
months before the riots to get a bill
through congress which would make
thugs go-but the monopoly tools in
congress would have none of it.
