TRUE PEOPLES PARTY AFTER
ALL
BY T. B. Murdoch.

BY T. B. Murdoch.
Many old-fashioned republicans OF
Butler county went of into the late po-
litical movement in the hope that bet
ter, 'purer, more patriotic party
would be formed, and one that would
be nearer the people; but they are now
convinced of their error and are coming
back. We welcome them back, promis-
ing them in all sincerity, that we shall
endeavor to bring the party nearer in
touch with the people. The republican
party is the true peoples party, after all
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1892-03-19
THIRD PARTY IN THE SOUTH.

The Southern Alliance Farmer quotes
as follows from the Atlanta Constitution
with the approving comment that ''what
the Constitution says is true:
at (the action at st. Louis is at
once a revolt and an aspiration. Its
real significance is encouraging, because
the movement is away from republican
plutocracy and in the direction of de-
mocracy.
'sThe majority Of these reformers be-
ionr TO farmer and other industrial Or
carnations in the west and northwest,
and in the past the republican party
has claimed their allegiance. Slowly
but surely they have drifted away from
that party. Various causes have infiu-
enced them, but the force bill policy and
the oppressive rule of monopoly and
the money power are mainly responsible
for the popular paotest which has now
assumed the shape Of third party.
Undoubtedly, the movement tends
towards democracy, and when the fact
Is considered that these people are more
violently prejudiced against the name Of
our party than they are against the
principles, their action in organizing an
independent party, instead Of training
under the democratic banner, will 'bt
readily understood. Their platform i
full of genuine democracy, with the e1
ception Of few matters Of detail which
have no business in the platform"
In the same issue Of the Southern
Alliance Farmer, Bro. Livingston
speech at Covington on the preceding
Saturday, February q, is fully reported
On this point he speaks as follows:
aFor this reason he was opposed t
turning it into third party, especial.
when relief there was hopeless and de
feat was certain. They might carry
half dozen western states, but woul'
not carry one in the south. This cours
was foolish when relief was in sigh
through the democratic party"
The report OF his speech proceed
further, as follows:
ssColonel Livingston criticised tw
planks in the st. Louis platform. Il
did not like the government OWNERSHIP
OF railroads. The Ocala plank for go,
eminent control and regulation was be'
ter. That was the plank Of the demo
cratic party. He objected in toto to Il
pension plank Of the st. Louis platform

THE SENATE PASSED THE BILL

From the ElDorado RepuDncan.
We understand that at the recent
meeting of the county attorneys at
Topeka it was decided to instruct all
assessors in the state to assess property
at it's full cash value. This will simply
be in compliance with the positive in
junction which has been entirely ig-
nored by assessors in the past. There
can be no possible objection to assessing
property at its full value, and there are
many advantages in SO doing.-Olathe
Herald.
While the present law says in one
place that all property shall be assessed
at its cash value, another law says the
township assessors shall meet each year
and agree upon valuation. So the
assessors of the state follow this instead
of the first provision Of the law.
And then the railway property Of the
state is not assessed by the township
trustees, but by state board of railway
assessors, and so long as this is true the
basis of assessment cannot be raised.
At the late session of the Legislature
the republican senate passed bill which
provided that all railway and other cor
porate property in the state should be
assessed at it's true value in money, but
it was killed in the house. The idea was
to have all railway and other property
assessed at it's value upon fair and
equal basis; and further provision pre-
vented municipalities from going into
debt beyond 5 per cent of their assessed
value, deducting present indebtedness
but the whole matter died in the house
| of representatives.

THE TARIFF TINKERS.

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-The report OF the
republican minority of the ways and
means committee against the bill placing
cotton bagging, cotton ties and machin-
cry for manufacturing the same upon
the free list, has been prepared by Mr..
Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, and fled with
the committee.
OF cotton bagging, the report says:
ssThis manufacture was created by q
protective tariff, and it is dependent up
on the same for its preservation. Any
reduction of the duty below protection
point would be serious blow to the
laborers engaged, in the industry and
to the capital which established it. The
report says also there is no combination
to fix the prices Of manufacture by the
mills making cotton bagging. This one
industry should be encouraged to secure
competition and reduce prices to min
imum.
Regarding cotton ties, the report says
these are to be admitted free, while bar
rel hoops of iron or steel are taxed.
There Is no reason for this distinction
except the necessity for making laws fol
democratic campaign purposes.
/ The minority also attacks the propo-
s;tion to place cotton machinery on ths
free list. No reason, it says, has beer
put forward why this has been done
Nor has a reason been stated why ont
kind of machinery should be taxed whil'
another is admitted free OF duty. This i
only a piece of the mischievous policy
says the report, adopted by the majorit.
to deal with the tariff in spots. withou
regard to connection.

STRENGTH AND HEALTH,

If you are not feeling strong and
healthy, try Electric Bitters. If "la
grippe" has left you weak and weary,
use Electric Bitters. This remedy acts
directly on liver, stomach and kidneys,
gently aiding those organs to perform
their functions. If you are afflicted with
sick headache, you will find speedy and
permanent relief by taking Electrct Bit
tiers. One trial will convince you that
this is the remedy you need. Large
