utterances Of its friends, together with rumors
Of new combinations to bull different stocks on

Notwithstanding this feeling. however, there
was great reluctance TO venture into the
market, and the demand was not specially
urpent exceDt In n few stocks.

Oh, Consistency!
TOpeka Advocate .

lOpthd AuNOcdle,
In the Capital of March 81, in an ed
itorial comment upon clipping from
the PEOPLES VOICE, published in the
AdUOcdte, we find the following state
mentS, which we reproduce as illustra-
ting the lack of intelligence that char
acterizeS the utteranceS of the official
state paper:
THE Kansas farmer owns, subject to
the mortgage, l60 acres of the bestland
in the world. Of this debt 70 per cent
was incurred as purchase money, the
money loaner being, in a sense, the
partner of the farmer in his purchase.
Now look at the following state
ment:
Another fundamental distinction be-
tween the Irish tenant and the Kansas
owner is the fact that substantially the
whole farm area of Kansas was given
to farmers by the government and ii
has now increased in value more than
a hundred fold"
These two statements occur in the
same article without so much as a line
separating them. The one sentence
follows Immediately upon the close Of
the other and at the close of the para
graph is the following:
If the farmers of Kansas are in debt
it is not the fault of the government
1t has treated them royalty"
Perhaps the Capital can explain how
it happens that if substantially tn,
whole farm area of Kansas was given t,
farmers by the government" "75 pc
cent of the debt was incurred as pur
chase money The intelligence dis

We present in another column ring
ing letter from Vinton Shelley, who
will be remembered by our older citi-
zens. His letter will make some of his
relatives and old friends here who
knew him only as a dyed-in-the-wool
republican, open their eyes and wonder
who next. Yes, they are coming and
when man has read the books and
heard the speeches that Mr.. Shelley
has, he will allow the scales to fall off
his eyes and glorify in his own conver-
sion. Come again, Brother Shelley.
An extract from the letter referred
to says:

many years. | thought the national
banking system, the exception clause
the credit strengthening act, the re-
funding of the national debt, resump.
ton and many other acts done by the
republicans were all right because they
said so. But had sense enough tC
know that the demonstration of silver
was corrupt as Satan. But when
came to hear such men as J. B. Weaver
Sam Norton of Chicago, Jesse Harper
of Danville, ILL.,, A. j. Streeter of Hin.
Ois, Gilbert Delamater, and Mrs. Ma.
riOn Todd and Mary E. Lease speak
and read Mrs. Emery's book, "Tht
Seven Financial COnspiracies" l dom

ligiOus standpoint can vote the repub
lican ticket; for all those acts mention
ed above are class legislation and clas,
laws pass51 in favor of the rich anC
against the people to make millionaire
and pauperS and trampS. There hai
been more millonaires and tramps mad,
in the last twenty-five years than wer'
made in all the time before, from l77f
and by republican congress. Nov
these are facts and you can't get ava,
from them, my republican friends"
