The Goodland republic. [volume] (Goodland, Kan.) 1891-1907, 1892-04-08

AT conference of the farmers
alliance members of the house and a
score Of other members, in sympathy
with them, it was decided to make a
determined effort to push through
the house a bill which has been pre-
pared by Representative Livingston
of Georgia, authorizing the secretary
of the treasury to issue legal tender
non-interest bearing notes up to $50
per capita, upon the demand of any
state, through its governor, the said
state to deposit its bonds for the
amount so demanded, said bonds to
run twenty years and to bear interest
at the rate of l per cent. It's claimed
that already more than fifty members
of the house has pledged themselves
to support this bill.

repeated attempts were made both
by Jerry Simpson and Mr.. Watson,

either. Let laboring men remember
this. Let all the railroad employees
remember that the peoples party in

against the Pinkerton army. Put

have the staunchest friends. Do not

Danger Ahead!

Is there any danger of civil liberty
in the United States being over
thrownp Yesl George Washington,
in his farewell address to his country
men, said: "The alternate DONNA
ton of one faction over another,
sharpened by the spirit of revenue
natural to party dlssentions, which,
in different ages and countries has
perpetrated the most horrid enormi-
ties, is itself frightful despotism.
But this leads at length to a more
formal and permanent despotism.
The disorders and miseries which
result, gradually incline the minds of
men to seek security and repose in
the absolute power of an individual;
and soon or later the chief of some
prevailing faction, more able or more
fortunate than his competitors, turns
this despotism to the purposes of his
own elevation on the ruins of public
liberty"
Abraham Lincoln said; 81 see in
the near future a crisis arising which
unnerves me and causes me to tremble
for the safety of my country, As
the result of the war corporations
have deem enthrowned and an era of
corruption in high places will soon
follow, and the money power of the
country will endeavor to prolong its
reign by working upon the prejudices
of the people until all wealth is ag-
gregated in the hands of the few and
the republic is destroyed. ! feel at
this time more anxiety for the safety
of my country than e' or before, even
in the midst of war. God grant that
my fears may prove groundless"
We might quote from other emf
nent Americans, of both old parties,
on the subject, and would find that
they had lifted up the danger signal
and sounded the alarm. When Helper
wrote his "Impending Crisis" before
the war of the Rebellion, he was
considered a visionary ana false
prophet. But the conflict came, and
the land was deluged in tears and
blood.
Like warnings are now being given
of an 'impressible conflict" between
labor and capital, but they are being
pooh.poohed and UNDECIDED. The
only possible way to check and halt
these tendencies of the times is fol
independent votes to give lasting
and salutary rebuke to both old polit,
ical parties by boiling their column
and voting with the peoples party
The Goodland republic. [volume] (Goodland, Kan.) 1891-1907, 1892-04-08
Supply and Demand.

Our dear old party friends tell the
farmer that farm products are regu-
lated in price by supply and demand
Let us see. When wheat came into
market, there was a short crop Ii
Europe and a famine in Russia.
Prices ruled comparatively high at
the start and farmers were enoour-
aged to hold their grain for still bet
ter prices. What is the resultp A
constant ard steady decline until on
Monday, April 4, the Chicago market
for wheat was 70 IA cents, corn 80,
oats 20. These prices are very low
when we consider the foreign demand
is still brisk.
An eminent jurist and q republican,
The Goodland republic. [volume] (Goodland, Kan.) 1891-1907, 1892-04-08

conversing with your editor on the
subject, said: "The fact is supply and
demand no longer regulate the price
of farm products. They are deter
mined by operations on the board Of
trade and grain gamblers. They
ought to be enactments making it a
criminal offense to gamble on the
products of the soil"
Cotton is quoted in the New
Orleans market on Monday at 5 IA
cents per pound the lowest in the
last thirty years, and yet any one
knows that the amount raised pei
acre, has, in recent years declined.
We will explain how this is brought
about.
The cotton product of the country
is about 100000 bales annually.
The transactions of the New York
cotton exchange was 40,0OO,0O0 bales
annually. The coal oil product is
2O,OO0,000 barrels annually. The
New York petroleum exchange re-
ports 1000, 100000 barrels annually.
These figures will explain how easy
itisto bear the market and represent
that it is overstocked when this is
not the case.
We hear it frequently remarked by
the would be-political, economist that
the Liverpool markets control New
York markets, and New York mar
kets control the Chicago markets,
etc. Now put two and two together.
England wants to buy cheap and she
bears the market, and the New York
operators bears the market, the Chi
cago operator bears the market.
Lombard street controls Wall
street, and Wall street the money
and produce markets of the United
States. English syndicates buy up
Touring mills and elevators all along
the line at Minneapolis, Chicago and
New York. The farmers of this
country are as surely under the heel
of English tyranny as though we
were an British province.
