Farmers Solving the Problem.

From the Lookout
Kansas farmers are solving the sub
treasury scheme, advanced By the Peo-
pies party, who are taking the products
OF the soil and converting them into sill
yer certificates instead of waiting for the
treasury notes that Congressman Simp-
son aud Senator PETER were TO give
them. Kansas farmers know where to
dig for wealth, and resolved that there
* more wealth for them in Kansas soil
than there Is IN a subtreasury Of the

From the wichita Beacon.
As an evidence of the good times the
Topeka Capital shows that Kansas peo-
pie have paid off s. 900, 900 of mortgages
in the last eight months. There is no
record published of the new mortgages
recorded. This does not show that that
amount Of money was sent out of the
state. as a large per cent. of this indebt-
edness was doubtless paid with the prop
erty covered by the mortgages.

The assertion in the Democratic
swill-tub ON the west side that a
fusion had been effected between the
Republicans and Peoples party only
met with derision by intelligent men.
The reputation of the Democratic
sheet is getting SO well known all
over the county as the biggest liar
in the A states, that anything, poll
tically, eminating from that paper is
only taken as joke. Its assertion
that the Peoples party candidates
for judge had drawn of was made of
whole cloth. No foundation in fact
The Democrats and Republicans
would only be glad if such could hap
pen, but it won't.

Is it not little strange the num-
Der Of people who appear to be inter-
ested in circulating and publishing
falsehoods. The Memphis Democrat
of the 18th inst. stated that the two
candidates on the Peoples party tick
ct for county judges hal pulled off in
the interest Of the Republican candi-
dates. We now notify the Democrat
and all others interested that that is
not so, and that they expect to be
elected as judges of the county court

they are elected, the interests of those
who pay taxes will be zealously
guarded. EDWARD BUTLER.

There can he no question but what
the Peoples party in Scotland county
has large plurality, if not an actual
majority over both old parties. This
is admitted by the best poasted poll
ticians in the county. Therefore the
cry that Il "vote for the Peoples
candidate. 10 a half vote for either of
the old party candidates." will not
apply here if anywhere. But, adj
hitting for arguments sake, that
there is truth in the statement, then
Il vote for either OF the old parties
in this county, is a half vote for the
other old party. Now, the only way
for literally inclined Democrats to
prevent the possibility of the election
Of Republican candidate in the
county, is support tue Peoples nomi-
necs and vice versa, the way for
Republicans to keep out Democrats
is to vote the popul,st ticket. 1t is
conceded everywhere to be in the
lead and using the favorite argument
of old party leaders-wherc the situa-
ton is SO apparent as in this count,
to Republicans and Democrats we
say, ''why throw away your votesY'
Why not come under the main tent
where the largest crowd conSregates,
and vote the Peoples ticket.
