New York, Feb. l0.--Captain James
Monahan, who for over thirty years has
been . resident of Cansrsie, and had
twenty years Of that time followed the
sea for living, started early in the
morning on perilous journey. Some

how no proposed to make the journey
he surprised them by answering: "In

ID 30 rigged as to make the management
an easy task. The small cabin is COW

sixty days. The wood used in the con-
struction of the boat is entirely of cedar.

St. Loui. to Eursp. by water.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. l0.--A scheme is un.
der discussion which may result in the
shipmentof grain from this city directly
to Europe. The success of the new
whaleback steamers in making the voy-
age from Duluth to Liverpool has at
tracted the attention of local exporters
and Eastern capital, and it is believed
that vessels of this class can be sent to
Europe by the way of the Mississippi
river and the Gulf of Mexico. A repre-
sentative of an Eastern syndicate has
been in the city in consultation with the
grain exporters, the government en-
gineers in charge Of the Mississippi river
improvements, and men familiar with
the river, with the view Of putting the
plan in operation.

THE FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
CONVENTION.

CONVENTION.
The Peoples party convention of
the First congressional district assem-
bled at Holton on June I'd, for the
nomination of member of Congress
and delegates to the national conven-
tion at Omaha on July 4th. The can
didates for Congress were, w. A.
Harris, of Leavenworth county;
Judge ]. w. Fitzgerald, of Potta-
watomie county; DR.. G. M. England,
of Jefferson county; Ezra Gary, OF
Nemahs county; 9. M. Handle, Of
jackson county; Col. E. Bierer, of
Brown county, and Fred. j. Close, Of
Doniphan county. All Of the candi-
dates received a good endorsement
on the first ballots. Any one Of
them, in fact, would have made strong
candidates, and would have been
satisfactory to the voters Of the dis
trict.
The nomination was undoubtedly
as much Of surprise to the success
ful candidate as it was to his many
friends. It was unsolicited and en-
tlrely unsought, but since it has so
happened, all alike recognize that
the convention did well. Mr.. Fred.
j., Close is an old soldier, who gave
an arm as a sacrifice to his country
in the war Of the rebellion. He is a
clean man and man of good ability.
The ADVOCATE feels complimented in
his nomination, inasmuch as he is
the secretary of our company. We
would certainly be regarded as very
difficult to please were we not salts
fed with the result. We shall have
much more to say Of Mr.. Close here
after.
The following delegates were elect
cd to the Omaha convention: j. I.
Simpson, of Jackson county; b. f.
Shane, of Jefferson county; d. H.
Dresback, of Leavenworth county;
j. w. Tanner, of Pottawstomie
county.
The alternates are: J. T. Mcclure,
of Atchison county; B. +. Parch, of
Brown county; j. F. Ruhlen, of
Nemahs county.
The convention adopted the follow
ing resolutions, which were reported
by Walter N. Allen, of Jefferson
county, chairman of the committee:
THE REVOLUTIONS.
Resolved, That we heartily indOrse the plat
form and demands promulgated at the indus
trial conference at St. Louis on February 22,
1892, and pledge 70 It our hearty support.
Resolved, That we demand that the money OF
the nation be absolute and positive, that the
stamp OF the power Of the United States deter
mines the value that each piece represents with
out any regard 70 the commercial value OF the
material upon which the stamp Is placed.
Resolved, That we regard the proposed none

mere device to evade an issue the people are de-
termined 70 push TO conclusion, and that we
can conceive OF nothing good that could come 20

BUY ANTI.TRUST TWINE.

DUA hN4A-AhO0I AWANBs
The time is near at hand when
Kansas farmers must purchase the
twine with which to harvest the ma
turing crop of 1892. In doing so we
hope our readers will sustain those
manufacturers who are making twine
from home grown material, and those
dealers who are selling twine not OBJ
tanned from the trust.
It will be remembered that the Ma
tionsl Union company declined to
quote prices on twine until after the
hemp twine manufacturers had done
so, and even then only under pledge
of secrecy. Nothing can be done by
this company openly and fairly,
A representative of the National
Union company in this city was re-
Gently asked the question why the
company refused to quote prices
until after the hemp twine manufac-
turers had done 30, and he very in
nocently answered, because the Ma
tional Union company intended to
undersell the Others" Here you have
the whole scheme in a nutshell. The
National Union is not governed by
the Ualue of it's twine, but, whatever
that may be, it intends to undersell
others simply to drive them out Of
business and gain monopoly of the
trade. Will the farmers of Kansas
be party to this villsinous scheme
If they do they will deserve to be
robbed by trusts and combines as
long as they live.
Here are factories manufacturing
twine from material grown upon
American farms. They propose to
extend their business and build new
factories as rapidly as they are justi-
fed in doing so by. the patronage of
the people. This cut-throat concern
which obtains it's fibre from foreign
countries comes in and in an under
handed, dishonest and Villsinous
seeks to drive these home ln-
stitutions out of existence by waiting
until they have quoted prices and
then offering to sell under them.
Farmers ought to stack their grain
without binding rather than buy
pound of trust twine. First exhaust
the product of home grown material
at all events, and thus encourage the
of this material to
build factories IN our own state. Here
is an opportunity for a practical pro-
lection to American industry, at the
same time looking to the diversified
cation of farm products. Do not be
gulled by the seductive wiles of the
trust serpent. Buy only antitrust
twine, and, when that is exhausted,
stack the grain without binding. If
there is to be game OF freeze-out let
US see who will come out ahead.

BADLY MUDDLED.

the war, AMI why subsequent issues
deprecated, and here is the answer:
ASK SOMETHING HARD.
THE ADVOCATE wishes the Times to explain
why $50, 900, 600 in demand notes remained at paI
during the war, while subsequent greenback
issues deprecated? The answer iS simple
They were recoverable for customs and would dc
the work Of gold, The $3.50, 900 greenbackS
now In existence will do the work Of gold to-day,
and they are at par. They are identical with the
subsequent Issues which deprecated during the
war. If THE ADVOCATE will examine green
back it will find the same exceptional clause up
on 1t to-day. That clause, then, was not the
cause of depreciation. Subsequent issues de-
preciated because in times Of peril the credit Of
nations is as subject to distrust as that Of indi-
vidua's The credit of the government to-day is
not strained and its paper floats readily at par.
The Times does not favor straining the credit of
the government unless In defense of the nations s
life. Another war would necessitate q new debt
which in less than four years would be below
par, even If It was In the form Of gold interest
bearing bonds.
This is the most remarkable state
ment we have yet seen upon this SUD-
ject. The Times first answers that
the demand notes remained at par
because "they were receivable for Gus
toms.and would do the work of gold"
That is correct. The subsequent is-
sues of paper money were not receiv-
able for customs or interest on the
public debt, and would not do the
work of gold, and that is why they
deprecated They were therefore
deprecated by lsw-the law which
deprived them of this full legal
tender power.
The Times says "the $35O,OO0,OOO
greenbacks now in existence will do
the work of gold to day and they are
at par" Why will they do the
work of gold to-day? Does the
Times not know that during the
whole time Of the suspension of specie
payments, when there was no gold in
circulation, that greenbscks remained
deprecated for the sole reason that
they could not be used to pay duties,
and importers were compelled to buy
gold as a commodity for this pur-
pose9 Greenbacks are at par now
because gold is in circulation, and
importers can obtain it to pay duties
without buying it with crippled
currency.
The Times says subsequent issues
deprecated because in times of peril
the credit of nations is as subject to
distrust as that of individuals" Now
will the Times please tell us why the
credit of this nation was subject to
distrust in respect to the greenbacks
that had upon their face the excep-
ton clause, and was not subject to
distrust in respect to the paper cur
rency that was full legal tender for
all debts public and private? What
was the difference between the green
backs and the demand hottest Both
were simply promise to pay, and
both were alike based upon the credit
of the government. If the credit of
the government suffered, why did it
not suffer in respect to one note as
we'll as snotherl Is there any differ
