A GOOD JOKE.
The Southern Dem ocratic Papers Appear
to BE in the Soup.

The Southern Dem ocratic Papers Appear
to BE in the Soup.
The peoples party has made applica-
ton for the appointment of deputy
United States marshals and supervisors
at the polls in west Tennessee, where
the ballot-box stuffing has been almost
as notorious as in Alabama. Marshal
Brown has issued his instructions re-
garding the duty of such marshals and
supervisors, and this has excited the
editors of the Memphis Appeal and Com
mercial until they are yelling force bill
and negro domination. They denounce
Brown as the worst bulldozer ever in the
office and assert that this is the worst
order ever issued by United States
marshal in Tennessee, worse even than
those in the old days when republicans
held control in the state. The Memphis
Commercial calls it "a devilish con-
spiracy and the devilish methods of re-
publicans which democrats will have To-
meet We may as well prepare for it.
We may as well prepare to be hustled,
pushed and insulted at the polls by
these radical toughs with their drunIxe
negro hoodlums at their heels" They
declare it a premonition of the force
bill.
Marshal Brown is not disturbed over
these attacks To him they are huge
joke because he copied the order and
the instructions from Attorney-G
Garland and his marshal in the same
district issued four years ago. He did
not change word, except in the date,
and the terrible republican order which
has frightened the democrats was in
reality issued by a democratic marshal,
under Cleveland, who had his instru:-
tions from Attorney General Garland,
who is the only survivor of the confed-
crate cabinet of jefferson Davis. 1t
was praised four years ago by these
same Memphis editors who are now SO
excited. 1t is good example of how
the southern editors get excited over
everything relating to national control
of elections whenever it comes from
those who arc not democrats, Special

There is no longer any doubt about
the inability of the partisan bosses tc
further deceive the people. The masses
want 10 vote right, and we believe that
at the next general election will vote
their honest convictions, for Weaver
and Field-for reform The 'force bilr'
is no longer an issue of terror to them.
Look at Alabamal According to the
census, allowing one vote for
each five inhabitants, there are
166, 753 white and 139, 500 negro
votes in that commonwealth,
total of 300, ,253. It is conceded by all
that at the late election 70 per cent. of
the white vote (110,0 was cast for
Kolb, the reform candidate. leaving
only 45,697 white votes for Mr.. Jones,
the democratic nominee. This estab-
fishes the fact that the great majority
of the negroes voted the straight demo-
cratic ticket (?). Where Is the need of
a ''force bill" in Alabama? The negroes
vote the democratic ticket and the dem
ocrats ought to be happy. II not, why
not?
AdhO hlooASSippL we nave DeIOre US

tered is 6s,OS2, and the negro vote reg
istered is s,965. Under the existing law

ever be put over them, On the other
hand, contrast the actions of the east

INE LODGE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER ~. 1892

The old farmer spat on his hands.
pushed up his sleeves and said: Come
on, we'll see about that" The serious
ness with which his banter was accepted
disconnected the congressman for a
minute, and then he laughed it off and
proceeded with his speech.
''Who framed the peoples party?" he
asked.
Col. Livingstone came in a wild
shout of of reply from the farmers.
This the colonel denied and said that
it was fra ned at Cinninnati IN 1891. All
the alliance planks, excepting the sub
treasury plank had been adopted by
the democrats 1t was all IN the Chi
cago platform aud that was why he re-
mained in the democratic party. He
claimed that the alliance forbids polit-
ical action and the alliance men yelled
him down with questions to why he led
them into politics as an alliance party,
and where "Livingstons yar1 stick"
came in.
He next tried 70 show the alliance
men that ali they wanted was III Chi

he claimed it WAS f." free trade, for frce

they yelled for Watson to show ~
"where he was at" Then Livingston
got mad and swore that he had more
friends in the crowd than had Wat~on.
He would prove it. He called for a
vote by show of hands 1t WIS SO
nearly even that he tried it a gain, claim
ing that many democrats held up their
hands by mistake when he called for a
peoples party vote. You democrats
keep your hands in your pockets, now"
shouted the colonel, ''while these peo-
ple's party fellows vote" They did and
the show of hands was SO great that
Livingston did not call a second time
for the democratic vote. So the circus
continued, with men getting ready to
| fight every few minutes and the plat
| form forgotten for the outside disturb
| ance.
Livingston attacked Weaver's record
and quoted some of the generals re-
marks about the woman-whipping
southerners. 1t was fun for his follow
ers for time, but Watson, in his reply,
| got back at him by showing that it was
Livingston who brought Weaver south
a year ago, and travelled about the state
| of Georgia with him. Watson made the
colonel very tired with this bit Of his
tory and even democrats al nitted that
the little champion of the ceople's par
ty had the best of the fighc, for such it
was through six hours from 10 o'clock
| to o'clock.
So wild became the crowd toward the
close that Watson was heard by only
those on the platform, while the crowd
were wildly quarreling among them
selves and fighting. Donny brook fair
never had better counterpart in a po-
litical debate than this great meeting
between the democrats and peoples

That Georgia Affair.

Chairman Taubeneck, of the peoples
party national committee, when asked
II the Georgia campaign would be aean-
doDed since Gen. Weaver's treatment in
that state said: Gas matter of course
orators will be prevented frori sPea'k-
ing in that state, but the roughs and
rowdies cannot prevent us from carry
ing on our campaign by other means,
and notwithstanding the treatment of
our leaders in that state, ] am as conf
dent as ever that at the November cleo
ton, il we are given fair count which
the federal supervisors will be COM
PEELED to give US, we will carry Georgia
in spite of the hoodlums who have in

ticn will come on the sth of November.
and 1 am positive that Weaver will
carry the state, If not by majority, a
plurality"

RECIPROCITY.

ports tor .Tuly-it Does Not ReciprDcat-
Worth Cent.
The course of the trade of the United
States with those.of the countries with
wdich reciprocity treaties have been
negotiated, is a curiosity whi h / is
difficult to understand With Some Of
these countries our trade has act lally
decrea: :ed since the removal OF tn OBJ
staclcs to trade by the redu ctiol or re-
moval of the import duties in both this
country and those with which we have
the treaties, while in the case of others
of these countries there is no proper re-
lation between the effects upon imports
and exports.
The treasury report for July shows,
for the twelve months ended July 81,
1892. as compared with the correspond
Ing period one year previously, that W.
increased our imports from Brazil by
the sum of s6s, 259, 361 worth, and for
the same period increased our ex lo-ts
to Brazil by only s2.6O9,6s3 worth. For
the former period the balance of trade
with Brazil was against US to the
amount of s46. .915, $50, while for the lat
ter period this adverse balance has
swelled to sl12,574.274
The report for Cuba is for eleven
months The United States increased
her sales 70 that country during these
eleven mouths by So, SIS over the
corresponding eleven months be fore
reciprocity. and has increased her pa
chases from that country by s11, 924, ,4g4
During the period when we had no resi-
procity, the balance of trade against
.lh's country in favor of Cuba was 3d.
IL Unier reciprocity this adverse
s.al q h Is increas I'd to 81. 5.277,15I for
the corresponding period.
With Puerto Rico, fortune has. in
srn Ill way, favored reciprocity. Thus.
ior the eleven months of reciprocity,
we have increased our imports from
that country by only sl9s. $40. while we
have increased our exports to that

country by so5s,s7o and have reduced
the adverse balance from Sl,O32, ,O6O
without reciprocity to s55S.7O) with

In the case of British West Indies,
reciprocity has beea in effect for six
months Both imports and exports
have decreased as compared with the
corresponding period last year, and the
balance of tra1e which was formerly
IS. 900, ,729 has been reduced to S4,67S,-
049.
With Salvado-. our experience unier
reciprocity has b.en even more sad.
During the six months period We have
increased our imports by sSiS, $50 an
have decreased our exports by s29, ,52D,

balance of trade with them.
The. results are doubtless disap-
pointiag g to both the advocates and the
opponents of the Mckinley law. To
the advocates it is far short of an in

substantial argument against free trade,

our party, although apparently largely In the

TO call especial attention to the fact that the
disorder is almost exclusively confined TO young
roughs who fnfest the towns and who are in
cited TO violence by persons who keep in the
background The country people are uniformly
respectful and anxious TO hear. 1t Is especially
worthy of note that the disordsrly conduct
does not proceed from the confederate soldiers
VINO are manly almost without exception in
their conduct and generally in sympathy with
our movement The police force at the disor-
derly points named made no effort, so far as ia
known, TO preserve good order. In soma in

Ringing Words.

The speaker who introduced Gen.
Weaver to the audience at Dallas, Tex,
used these significant words: "We are
nearing crisis that will put to crucial
test the conservatism of every man in
this nation The capacity of man for
self-government is on trial You are con-
fronted with 100000 tramps begging
for subsistence, 2,OOO, 900 laborers on a
strike, and five states in this union in
open revolt with militia in the field to
compel obedience to law. There are
causes for this The war is over; we
are living in period of profound peace.
There ought not to be any sectional
hate. but as men and women we ought
to come together and work for one great
government"

as Mrs Lease, have been most outrnp-

after full consultation by wire with

As Il result, it is now authoritativeIy
stated that the third party in all the
southern states will make formal call
upon the United States authorities un-
der existing election laws for the ap-
pointment of federal supervisors of cleo
tions in every district where third party
candidates have been placed in the field.
The provisions of law which will enable
them to do, this are not of recent enact
ment They have been on the statute
books since 1870, with some slight mod
ifications adopted in 1871 and 1872. This
action, proceeding from party COM
posed almost exclusively of white men
who have heretofore voted the demo-
cratic ticket, cannot but have a signiff-
cant bearing on the elections in The
southern states In Alabama, for in
stance, where Kolb democrats have been
placed in nomination by the third party
men, in every district save one, the re-
suit will be to bring the entire state
election under federal supervision and,
almost beyond a peradventure, to take
Alabama out of the Cleveland column.
1t begins to look as if the New York
Suns bugaboo, no force bill, would be
turned clear around and adopted as
part ofs their party platform and as
something to be desired and asked for
by thousands of heretore democrats in
the southern states.
