THEIR ESTIMATE.

The following from the Bethany,

can estimate of Peoples party men.
Read it and see what you think OF
yourselves.
We have now In existence two great parties
composed Of wOrkiDgmen, the Republican and
Democrat. Heretofore 1t has been found I'M
possible to gather enough lOafers together to
form a successful political party, and such VIII
always be the case In this country The Repub-
llcan party was created by the most perfect type
OF organized laborlng men the world has ever
seen, and one of their first acts was to place
rail splitter In the presidential chair. Now, as
In the past, It has been the constant aim OF this
party TO labor in the interests of the people as
whole, but more especially to devise measures
for the relief Of the burdens Of the poorer
classes. This record Is resplendent with glorl-
Gus deeds and cannot be tarnlshed by the black
guardlsm Of loafers and calamity hOwlers. The
demand for third party comes In many In
stances, from men who have been dlstanced IN
the race OF life by their more industrious and
enterprising neighbors, and what they are really
after iS q lazy mans party-a party In which
they can live on fiat money and do nothing,

RAWLINs COUNTY CONVENTION.

Rawlins is one Of the middle OF

to elect delegates to the state con-
yention adopted the following reso-
lutions:
Whereas, We believe that we cannot affiliate
with either OF the old parties without sacrifice
Of principle, therefore be 1t
Resolved That the Peoples party Of RaWlinS
county in convention assembled fully endorses
the action Of the st. Louis conference of Febru-
airy %, 1892, and that we win stand on the plat
form adopted by the same, and
Resolved, That we extend the right hand OF
fellowship to our brothers in the south, who are
struggling to cOnsumate union between the
south and west for the purpose Of carrying into
effect the st. Louis demands, and
Resolved, That we condemn the action Of the
state board of railroad assessors, consisting OF
Lieut.. Gov. Felt, Secretary Of State Higgins,
Treasurer Slower, Auditor HOVey and Attorney
General Ives, for their action In reducing the
railroad assessment of this state, and
Resolved, That we endorse the action OF our

policy of this government, points to
q danger which our people should be
quick to perceive and prompt TO re-
sent. The constitution confers upon
congress the power "to coir money,
and regulate the vaIue thereof" 1t
confers upon no one authority to
delegate that power to others. This
was intended to be q government OF
the people, by the people; and the
power conferred upon congress to
coin money and regulate its value
was intended to be exercised in the
interest and for the benefit of the
people, and not in the interest or
for the benefit of a fol ign or
domestic srfstocracy by which to
facilitate the plunder of industry.
An American system of finance is
the crying need of the hour. The
summoning of foreign aristocrats to
participate in shaping our financial
policy is treason, and those who are
responsible for it deserve the fate of
traitors.

worse. The assertion is made in the interest OF
gold mOnOmetalllsm, but If the Staud&.d Of value
cannot fluctuate deduction to an opposite ei-
feet Is possible. 1t is that II silver had Ce6n re-
tanned as the standard OF value tWOuld not have
fuctuated any more than gold.
AS matter Of fact, that srticly ta.4en as a
standard of value, is as susceptible Of fluctu-
ations as any other commodity. The ftdctratiOn
does not apper In the quotations, for that is
simply measuring Itself by itself; but it appears
in It's purchasing power. Both silver and gold
have varied in value during the past twenty
years. A large share Of what is called the de-
probation Of silver is really the appreciation in
the purchasing power Of gold.

THE POOR WIDOW.


Congressman Glover sized up to
the poor widow racket as follows in a
a recent speech:
Gentlemen tell us that the poor widows and
orphans of New England would suffer greatly
by the passage Of this BILL They tell us that the
widows and orphans are the money lOaners OF
that locality, and that 1t would be cruelty In the
extreme to distress them. or course this state
ment is all for effect, and should not command
respect enough for reply, and would not no.
tlce It now, were 1t not an insult to the intell-
gence OF every American citizen, and know Of
no better answer than was given by the late
Senator Plumb OF Kansas when this oft repeat
ed and dishonest statement was made In the
senate Of the United States during the Flfty-frst
congress- He said:
Whenever the question OF more money comes
up and any move Is made that looks toward re-
nef for the people who are struggling under their
load Of debt, In consequence OF the contraction
OF the currency and shrinking In the value OF
their property, this New England widow Is

A SHALLOW GOLD BUG ARGUMENT EX-
PLODED,


The following from the Pittsburg
Dispatch is respectfully commended
to the consideration of Kansas advo-
Gates Of the single standard.
A case of extremely shallow special pleading
is lndulged in by the Boston Herald In reply to
correspondent, who asks II there has been In
the last twenty years any fuetuation In the mar
ket price Of an ounce Of gOld9 The Herald re-
plies; "Not particle. Fine gold has been worth
S2O.67 per ounce ali the time. AS gold Is the
standard Of value, it cannot fluctuate, unless
there should be an alteration Of its standard
rating either here or In Europe"
This relies for It's correctness solely on the
technical definition OF the words market price.
But the attempt to create the impression that
there Is no variation In the exchange value or
purchasing power Is dlsngenious, to say the
least. To allege that because gold Is the stan
dard Of value It cannot fuctuate but remains
worth S2O67 per ounce, is equal to the assertion
that, measured by itself, any staple will remain
the same. II would be just as pertinent to de
clare that because hundred bushels Of wheat
now Is exactly the same as ahundred bushels Oi
wheat twenty years ago, therefore wheat hai
not fluctuated.
AS matter Of logic the statement Is really

yOcates, and has become very old and musty

HE Is OPPOSED TO HAVING ANYTHING
FREE

Washington dispatches announce
that the question Of free silver recent
" came before the United States
senate and was opposed by Senator
Sherman Sin an able speech" This
is not remarkable news to the Amer
icsn people. Senator sherman's
views are so well known that he is
not expected to favor the granting of
anything to the people free. Every
thing must pay tribute to Shylock in
some form in order to meet this sp-
probation.
The advocate., 1892-06-08

The southern outrage racket is
again being worked by Kansas Re-
publicans in the hope of reviving the
sectional prejudices, upon which they
have relied for party success for 10,
these many years. These patriots
would do well to remain moderately
quiet upon this subject. When Re-
publican judges and officials can con-
spire with lawless rufians to murder
peaceable citizens in the state of Kan
sas, and Republican made laws un-
der a Republican administration, are
powerless to punish the criminals, it
would seem that becoming modesty
might restrain the vehemence OF Re-
publican condemnation of outrages
in other states.

WHY NOT TELL THE TRUTH?
To the Editor OF THE ADVOCATE:


To the Editor OF THE ADVOCATE:
1t would seem as If the universal meth
cd Of single takers, in replying to criti-
cism of their pet idea, is to grossly mis-
represent their opponents position, and,
having ascribed to him certain Ideas
which he did not express, proceed to
formulate arguments to demolish the
man Of straw thus created by themselves.
l know of no better proof of this fact,
than is afforded in Mr. W. Fl. 7. Wake
fields criticism Of my views, in THE AD-
vooATE of May 18th, as follows. He
says:
Where Mr.. W. falls down hard, is when
he says that profits increase in the same
ratio as rent; that profits are highest to the
occupying tenant who pays highest rent.
If he means that the greatest volume of
business is done, and the largest capital
employed on highest priced land he is right,
but that is not what he says, but that profits
are highest, which is absurd. On the con-
trary, most failures of busines men are
caused by inability to pay the highrents de-
manded, but who ever heard of landlcrd
failing? And how could a merchant or
manufacturer demand higher prices for his
goods because he had to pay higher rent
than his rival in a smaller town.
Now as matter of fact, never enter
tanned or expressed any such idea as the
foregoing, but on the contrary, I plainly
stated exactly the reverse proposition.
This is what / did say, in my reply to
DIR. W. A. Turner, of Powhatan, Kansas:
In large cities, as in Chicago, owing to
the greater volume of business or num-
ber of sales, smaller profit on each sale
makes up the necessary gross profit on
the gross sales out Of which the high
rents may be paid and yet the usual net
profit be realized on the capital invested.
On the other hand, In the smaller cities
and towns, although rents are much lower,
vSb On hCCOuub Va bAAO oAhnAAOA fSAAA4O "
business or number of sales, much
larger gross profit must be realized on
each sale in order that a satisfactory net
profit may be realized after paying all
expenses, or items Of cost, including
rent. But in each case, in the large city
as in the small town, rent is included IN
the price of all goods sold.
Please publish this statement as
matter Of justice to me.
