Four years ago the republican CAM
palgn spellbinders hold out many glar-
ing promises. They said that Harrison's
election meant increased prosperity, the
end OF strikes and a high standard of
wages. For the naturalization of these
hopes the workingman is invited to read
the news OF the last few months under
the Harrison administration.

state.-Leavenworth Times, September q.
Republican papers are filed with
this kind Of rot ever since the occur
renee Of the outrage upon General
Weaver in Georgia. Do they take
their readers for internal fools? Do
they have an idea that men and
women Of good sense can be made to
believe that the hoodlums who per-
petrated these ontrsges, or the polit-
icsl harlots who stand in the back
ground and hiss them on, compose
the representative masses Of the state
of GeorgiaG They know better, but
they see in this affair an opportunity
to revive the bloody shirt racket which
has served them 30 well in former
years, and hence their tears because
the alliance of Kansas is "being used
to weaken q strong republican state"
Down south the democratic patriots
{ p who sustain the same relation to
the alliance down there as their re-
publican allies do in the north, tell
the people that they are being used
to weaken the democratic party, and
there is just as much sincerity and
honesty in the one as the other, and
just as much sense; and the people of
each section take just about as much
stock in what they say in the one case
as in the other. It will soon be known
where the people of Georgia stand.

Talk about continuing the republi-
can party in power in order to "se-
cure protection at the southp What
has the republican party been doing
all these years that protection" is
not already secured, not only in the
democratic south, but in the republi-
can north as well.
1t is the cultivation by the republi-
can party Of the spirit of sectional
hatred and partisan bigotry, and the
utter disregard of all measures calcu-
lated to secure the rights and privi-
leges and liberties Of the people, that
is responsible for these outrsges to-
day; and yet these nincompoops have
the gall to ask to be continued in
power through all coming time under
the pretense that it is necessary in
order to secure protection to free
speech and against personal violence

THE CAUSE AND EFFECT.

Il is getting to be pretty generally
understood why the Kansas City
Times comes 80 far from representing
the political sentiment Of Kansas
democrats, the people who have pat
ronized it more literally than the
people of it's own state. The stock Of
the Times company has been hswked
and traded about until q majority Of
it is owned by republicans who are
in the money losning business. That
is a very unfortunate position for
q democratic newspaper to be in. A
short time ago the Times wanted to
see Col. Moore elected in the Second
district. But lately a change has
come DER it and it is now doing it's best
to elect Funston. Why this sudden
conversion? It gives no reason why
Moore is not as good as he ever was
or why Funston is not just as bad,
and there has been no change in any
Of the three party platforms to cause
he change. Its attitude has been
very much the same toward other
Kansas candidates, only not so
marked, and taken altogether il is
plain case of the hand of plutocracy
hrottling the press.
1t is gratifying to see that the
course Of the TTnss is only endorsed
~ two of the democratic papers in
his state, and the prospects are that
he treacherous sheet will soon be
without political following in Kan
las. 1t should consolidate with the
Journal, and go into the fake ssnsa-
ion business.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-10-05

for it among people Of all parties.
Frequent applications are made to
the ADVOCATE for it, but our supply
is exhausted. The republicans should
call convention and get up a plat
form that they are not ashamed Of,
or else the Populist committee should
distribute this one for them. The
people are determined to have it.

TAE ANTHRACITE COAL ROBBERY.

The Kansas City Journal has the
following editorial in its issue Of
September 27, upon the above sub
ject:
The farmers alliance Of New York has
drafted and adopted inAammatory resolu-
tions because what are styled "the consoli-
dated coal railroads have pushed up the
price Of fuel 81 ton. This increase which
means an enormous augmentation of the
receipts Of mine owners, and an enormous
tax upon the kitchens and parlors of the
poor especially, is made without any regard
whatever for the man who does the digging.
AS the cost Of producing coal is less now
than it has been before, and as the miners
are not to have an increase of wages, this
heightening of the price of an abundant
necessary is plain case of holdup. Its
harshness is not even relieved by such ex-
cuses and pretenseS as usually envelop the
game Of the buncOist. Every fall for many
years, this same outrage has been perpe-
trsted, and 1t has often been accompanied
by a out in the wages of the miners. It is
no wonder, therefore, that the farmers' alli-
ance protests against the toleration Of such
tributes and exactionS. Everybody and
every organization should protest against
them, and should busy themselves until an
end has come to the practices of these cor
porate highwaymen; for they take money
to which they have no title, they take it just
because they can, and the masked footpad
does no more. When such things go on un-
checked, it is not surprising that political
parties are uncertain in their seats.
One particularly noteworthy thing about
The resolution Of tho farmers is that the
complained Of was not attributed |
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-10-05

to the tariff. Doubtless the farmers know
that there is no duty on anthracite coal.
Doubtless again they know, as but few, if
any "leaders" of western farmers know,
that most of the formidable trusts that have
existed in this country have grown up in in
dustries not protected. But if some politi-
cal educator, like the Kansas City Star for
instance, had drafted the resolutions for
the New York farmers, it would have
ascribed the elevated price of coal to the in
crease Of duty imposed by the Mckinley
law.
In these election days, it is worth while to
call attention to the absence of tariff duty
as recognized by the farmers; and it Is also
well to keep public attention fixed on an ex-
tOrtiOn that should be stopped.
The Journal recognizes the evils
of the above combination, but limits
it's comments to criticism of those
who assign the tariff as the cause.
Why does not the journal eulighten
its readers as to what are the real
causes Of these evils, and what rem
edy, if any, it is able to suggest9
The Journal says " it is we'll to
keep public attention fixed on an ex-
tOrtiOn that should be stopped"
There is very little danger that
public attention will be diverted from
the extortion as long as the public
continues to be the victim of it; and
L it is really recognized as an evil
.that should be stopped" why has
lot the republican party provided
ihe means to stop it? Where is John
Sherman and his antitrust bill?
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-10-05

REPUBLICAN papers are very much
exercised over the fact that Gen.
Weaver was refused a respectful
hearing in Georgia They seem never
to have heard that Sam Small was re-
fused q respectful hearing at Vim
cennes, Ind F., and that Jerry Simpson
Jared little better at Hutchinson,
Kas. The attempt to influence senti-
ment in the north by the claim that
the indignites offered to Gen. Weaver
indicates that there is no third party
in Georgia, will receive @ setback in
a few days. The country will soon
know where the people of Georgia
stand.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-10-05

The ADVocATE's reply to the charge
that the Peoples party has abandoned
its doctrines Of two years ago, and
our reminders Of the absolute change
of front of the republican party has
knocked the Capital completely out.
1t is as silent as an oyster concerning
its abandonment of free coinage of
silver and other fundamental doc
trlneS of its party of year and a half
ago, and it does not even sllude to

Lew Hanback, was introduced and made
one Of his inimitable speeches, full of good
points. Space will not permit US to give
his speech. He showed the utter abandon
Of the southern democrats in their uncalled
for attack on General Weaver, and the me-
Oessity Of continuing the republican party
in power 60 secure protection at the south,
and tho freedom Of voting.
The republican party has had un-
interrupted possession of the execu-
tive department Of the government
since 1861, With the exception Of four
years. During good part of that
time it has had a majority in both
houses Of congress. 1t has had ana
pie time to demonstrate it's capacity
10 deal with the question OF protec.
tion Of the rights of American citi-
zeng, not only at the south, but in all
parts Of the country, and it has shown
itself utterly incompetent for the
task. How long must this party be |
kept in power in order to afford it the
opportunity to provide for the safety
Of the people and the right of free
speech9
1t is all very well for republican
orators to endeavor to curry favor
with an audience known to be com
posed largely Of Peoples party men
by the condemnation of an outrage
upon their candidates; but there is
sufficient evidence in the paragraphs
Of republican newspapers to justify
the conclusion that the leaders of the
party, and the would.be moulders of
public sentiment, secretly rejoice in
this mob violence. Take the follow
ing from the Lawrence Journal of

A POPULAR NOVELIST.
Augusta Larned Is Also Familiar with
All Forms of Newspaper Work.


Especial Correspondence.l
NEW York, Oct 6.--Miss Augusta
Larned is of English ancestry on both
sides, one of her forefathers being one
of the first settlers in Charlestown,
Mass. She spent her early childhood on
her native farm, at Rutland, jefferson
county, N. Y, where the free range Of
wood and field fostered the intimate
love and knowledge of country life,
which she has interviewer so charmingly
in her rural sketches. This ardent love
of nature has made her both poet and
essayist.
Her earliest school life was spent at
the Potsdam academy, followed by a
course of training at the celebrated
Spingler institute when it was under
the control of the Rev. DIR. Abbott At
the early age Of eighteen she graduated
from this institution and went to Ala.
bama, where she taught for two seasons.
Afterward she was connected with a
school -ssin- Washington. While living
there she met the Rev. Rufus Dawes, a
Swedenborgian clergyman, who first
urged her. to write--in the form Of books
for children.
1t was several years after this that she
embraced literature as profession, and
it was with the encouragement of Oliver
johnson, the neuitor of The Independ-
ent, that she gained a recognized foot
hold ON that paper and made her first
pecuniary success During three or four
years she contributed many stories to
this standard journal, the background
Of them being usually sketched in from
her recollections of her country life OF
these stories from The Independent and
other sources six volumes have been
published.
In 1870 Miss Larned became the editor
of The Revolution, woman's rights
paper established by Susan B. Anthony,
and at the time Miss Larned Joined it
in the hands Of Mrs. Laura Q. Billiard.
After eight months hard toll on that
paper she was forced by i'll health to re-
sign. She was then engaged in general
newspaper work, contributing to Har-
per's Magazine, Bazaar, Christian Union,
The Golden Age, Hearth and Home, In
dependent, Liberal Christian and others.
She also published volume of
sketches entitled Talks with Girls"
and book on Grecian mythology called
"Old Tales Retold," both of which ex-
tended into several editions. Her poems
enriched The Evening Post, Christian
Register, ,Appleton's Journal, The At
lantic, st. Nicholas and Scribners. In
1879 her work on Morse mythology was
published. 1t was called "The Morse
Grandmother; or, Tales from the Elder
Edda." Her closest newspaper connec-
ton has been with The Christian Regis
ter, of Boston, for which she has written
letteK, stories, sketches and editorials.
In 1885 she began aseries of sketches in
The Evening Post called "Village Photo
graphs" These are in book form now,
as are also another series called "The
Roundabout Road
