HARRIS AND THE DEMOCRATS.

The republican and old soldier element
in the Peoples party will hardly fail TO OBJ
serve the significant fact that while the ma
jority of the democrats are violently
opposing the Peoples party state ticket
none of them have as yet objected to the
candidacy of w. A. Harris for congressman
st-lsrge.-Emporis Republican, October 5.
Rats! Where are the majority Of
democrats opposing the Peoples
party ticketP Because a few rail-
road attorneys and sppointees of
Governor Humphrey urged on by the
republican central committee, and
furnished transportation to attend
the convention of kickers, by the said
committee, have been found willing
to make q demonstration in behalf of
the expiring republican party, the lit
tie, insignificant sidsshow is doomed
by every republican paper in the state
as representing the majority Of the
democratic party. 1t does not repre-
sent 10 per cent of it; and the republi-
cans know it.

tion involved in this controversy. The
great objection to the national bank
ing system ls in the power it pos
sesses to control the volume of money
in circulation, and this is the propo-
sition that the advocates of the sys-
tenn are endeavoring to keep in the
background. They want to obscure
this issue by the cry of loss upon cir
culstion. The great profit growing
out of the system results from its
instrumentality in making money
scarce and thereby increasing the
purchasing power of the dollar. The
money classes, whether bankers or
stockholders in railroad and other cor
porstions, and all who enjoy fixed in
comes, Of course are interested in this
increase of the purchasing power of
the dollar, whlle the man who tolls
and the producer of wealth, and the
great debtor class of the entire coun-
try, constituting by far the greater
part Of our people are being robbed
every day by this high priced dollar.
These classes are interested in "a
large increase of the currency which
would give increased wages to labor
and increased prices for the products
of industry. By this means there
would be a possibility of lifting the
great debt now hanging like a mill
stone upon the necks of the people,
and prosperity might thereby be ex-
tended to the masses instead of being
limited, as at present, to the favored
few,

of them believe it. They do, for q
fact. They don't know why they be-
lieve it except that they have received
assurances to that effect from their
committee headquarters, and the
poor, unsOphistiCated dupes take that
as gospel, 1t is sad to think that
men should be imposed on in that
way, but it all comes through a lack
of information and their inability to
read the signs Of the times. They
should learn to read.

ABOUT MIR. D, G. OLINGBR.

Every republican paper in the
country is sounding the praises OF
one D. g. Olinger, who, they say was
chairman of the convention that nomi-
mated Close for congress, and very
prominent (D Peoples party man,
and who has lately returned to the
republican party. Mr.. Olingsr was
not chairman of the convention that
nominated Mr.. Close, and if he ever
occupied any very prominent position
in the Peoples party, the people never
found it out. Mr.. Close was himself
chairman of the convention that
nominated him for congress.

WHILE speaking of editors being
converted in politics why don't the
republicans mention Editor Foote, of
Marion, who lately left their party
and became a POpulist FOote is q
man of such high character and In
tellect that his party wanted him to
be candidate for congress not long
ago. OF course it cannot be said Of
him, as of Holiday, that his father
is an sristocrstic stockholder in the
Santa Fe company, and he is not de-
pendent upon his father for a living
anyway. There are half a dozen edi-
tors in Kansas who have joined the
Peoples party this year.

To the Editor OF THE ADvoCAfE.
If I may be allowed space in your val
liable paper, l would like to advance a
few thoughts In respect TO the So-called
grandest railroad system the world has
ever known. I will proceed by giving
the experience Of our own little town for
the last two months Mr.. father and
brother run farms here, and undertook to
buy grain, but have been compelled TO
quit, being unable to secure cars to carry
their grain to market. During q whole
month they were able to secure only one
Car, and since, now and then a straggler,
compelling them to hold over, though
wanting to ship, until 1t has fallen Z cents
per bushel. Now, we can't believe this
was necesSltated by the Rock Island rail-
road being unable to furnish cars, but by
discrimination pure and simple, and this
In favor Of the Rock Island Itself. My
reasons for thinking so are these: Mr..
Beekley, Of Phlllipsburg, the next sta
tion west of US, who buys grain for A. G.
Davis & Co., who own elevators along the
Rock Island, says he has had all the cars
he wants and to spare. Mr.. Merritt, who
buys grain at Agra, the next station east,
for Chas. Counselman & Co., also says he
has had no trouble about cars; and, also,
his Office was shipped from over 100
miles east on Aatcar, and the freight
wasn't anything on it; and 1t doesn't
matter how long he has cars stand loaded
on the track, he pays no demurrage.
While we know others have TO pay 81
per day after fortY-eight hours, we have
been informed by arellable business man
OF Agra that he has let cars stand on the
track loaded about thirty days without
demurTage. Now, Counselman & Co.,
sent an agent to buy my fathers and
brothers warehouse. Mr.. Roberts, Of
Phillipsburg, also bought grain here, but
has thrown up the sponge. Neither
could he get cars; so now there Is not q
bushel Of grain being marketed here.
To do business under such circum-
stances is impossible. OfcOurse the rail
road has never refused to furnish cars,
but claims to be unable TO do so; but we

men--to take the great inventions,
which are the natural heritage Of one
man as much as another-those inven-
tions which should be the servant of all,
bringing rest, plenty and intelligence TO
every household, to strip them all from
them and leave the great mass Of hl nan-
ity no better off than If the great IlFsn-
tions had never been known. We would
simply say that II the great inventions,
the telegraph and the railroads, are to
be only benefit to few individuals like

can genius is a farce, and our greatness a
bubble. Republican statesmen have GER

NATIONAL BANKS.


issued by the government directly to
the people in lieu of bank currency.
The chief arguments in support OF
this demand are to be found In the
power of the banks to control the vol
ume of money in circulation, and also
in their power to influence Legislation
in the interest of capital. The Peo'
ple's party holds that congress has no
right to delegate its authority to coin
money to corporations, and with JEFF
ferson, it holds that national banks
are more dangerous to the liberties Of
the people than standing armies.
The republican party and the sup
porters of the present system make no
answer to the arguments presented
against them, but, as a reason why
the national banking system should
not be interfered with, they protest
that the business is improbable, and
that those who are engaged in it are
losing money. Along array OF figures
is presented to prove this proposition,
and one Of the chief factors in this
mathematical demonstration is the
premium upon the bonds deposited
with the government as security for
the notes In presenting this argu-
ment, our friends seem to forget that
those bonds were originally purchased
at an average cost of sixty cents on
the dollar, and that by subsequent
legislation they have been raised to
par and to a premium above par.
They forget that this advance is in
itself q matter of clean profit. They
forget also that it is hardly legitimate
to offer the fact of a premium upon
their bonds, which has been brought
about by a system of gambling among
themselves, encouraged by national
legislation, as an element in a calcu-
lation Of this character.
If we admit the claim that the bust
ness is improbable we must agree
that those who are engaged in it are
a set Of the most consummste numb
skulls in the country, or they would
not desire to continue in it. There
is no compulslon about it. There is
no law upon the statute books re-
quiring any one to engage in, or to
continue in this losing business Why
don't those fellows get out of it! In
a great country like this, in which
prosperity is running wild and over
taking everybody, however much he
may try to get away from it, certainly
business opportunities are not 80 rare
that man must continue in losing
enterprise all his life. The people
do not require such sacrifice at the
hands of any class of men, and if the
claim Of the bankers is true, they
might very easily satisfy our people
and quiet their murmurings upon
one subject, while at the same time
promoting their own interests, by
simply going out of business This
would end one calamity howl, and
if their story is true, would be money

The remnants Of poke about his
neck showed he had broken out Of his
pasture up the road, and he had come
into the schoolhouse e~try 70 get away
from the hot sun.
Miss Putnam stepped boldly up 10
drive him out, but he was not afraid,
and, dashing at her, knocked her over.
Quick as a flash she jumbcd up slipped
through the half-open door. and, two Of

managed to shut it in his face. Then
they left him to himself, and school
went on as usual.
The noon recess came in about an
hour and a new trouble arose. Only
about half dozen of the twenty schol-
ars brought their dinners: the rest
usually wSnt home for theirs. How
were they to get out and 90 home?
The old sheep had lain himself down
in the shade just before the outside door,
and not one of the scholars dared go by
him. There were no boys in school that
summer only small ones.
Perhaps some one will come along
that can help us, said Miss Putnam
So they began to watch for help TO
come. But the schoolhouse was on a
side road little distance from the main
highway, and as only few families
lived on the road beyond the school
house there was very little travel on it.
