The FARMERS SIDE.
"Fhsrs Ue are, how ne got he,
and ks way cut"
BY Hon. w. A. PETER,
o. 9. SENATOR FROM KANSAS.
limo sIo4h Price. cleo,


There is q demand for a comprehensive ard
authoritative book which shall represent TIE
farmer, and set forth his condition, the icfu-
snsss surrounding him, and plans and prospects
for the future. This book has been written ly
Hon. W. A. PETER, who wRs elected TO the
United States Senate from Kansas to succeed
Senator Ingalls,. The title is THE FARNLK's
SIDE, and this indicates the purpose of the work.
In the earlier chapters, Senator PETER dc
Seribes the condition ct the farmer in various
parts of the country and compares it With the
condition of men in ether callings. He carefully
examines the cost of labor, Of living, the prices
of crops, taxes, mortgages, and rates of interest.
lie gives elaborate tables showing the increase
Of wealth in railroads, manufactures, banking,
and other forms of business, and he compares
this with the earnings Of the farmer, and also
wage-workers in general. In a clear, foreible
style, with abundant citations of facts and fg-
uros, the author tells how the farmer reached
his present unsatisfactory condition. Then fol-
lews an elaborate discussion OF "The WAY cut
which is the fullest and most authoritative pres
entation Of the aims and views OF tho Farmers
Alliance that has been published, including full
discussions Of the currency, the questions Of
interest and mortgages, railroads, the sale Of
crops, and ether matters of vital eoG0eQuGnco.
This book is the only che which attempts to
cover the whole ground, and it is unpscssssry
to emphasize its value. 1t is a compendium OF
the facts, figures, and suggestions which the
farmer ought 10 havs at hand.

AN HONEST BALLOT AND A FAIR
COUNT.

If there is one thing in which the
republican party msnifests more un-
adulterated gall than another, it is in
their denunciation of fraud in cleo
tions, especially In the south, and
the plea they enter to be continued in
power in order that the people Of the
country may be assured of an honest
ballot and a fair count. In the name
Of conscience, if the people are not
now assured Of these things, whose
fault is it7 II the republican party,
after thirty years Of power, has failed
to do anything to secure an honest
ballot and a fair count, is it not about
time for it to stand aside, and let
somebody else try for a short time?
How long are the people to wait for
this boon, and how long are they to
be fed upon promises?
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-10-26
HOW THEY ARE GOING BACK.

The Lawrence World of the 18th
published a communication from
Hugh Cameron, who, the World says,
has heretofore been an ardent Peo-
ple's party man, but who now re-
nounces the faith and returns to the
republican party. We happen to
know Hugh Cameron. He is long
haired crank. He has never been q
Peoples party man since the organi-
zation of the party. He always pre-
tends to be one in the early part Of
every campaign, and always gets
back to vote the republican ticket on
election day. He has a conceit that
his periodic returns to the republican
party in the midst of a campaign will
create a sensation. It might create a
sensation of shame in himself if he
were susceptible of such an expert
ence, but it would never be felt else
where. Mr.. Cameron is undoubtedly
one of the men with whom the re-
publican leaders have agreed to re-
turn to the party just before election,
and arranged for interviews with re-
publican papers" TO make it known,
in accordance with the program pub
lished in the ADVOCATE last week.

aire corporations, to murder trouble
some employees who conceive the idea
that they are entitled to the common
rights Of American freemen. Mr..
Clemens clearly points out the fact
that during the recent labor troubles
the courts were all open and unob-
atructed, and yet that no attempt was
made to maintain the peace or to
arrest offenders by the civil suthori-
ties; but, in time Of peace, this pri-
vate army was employed, not to
enforce the orders VI any court, but
to overswe and subdue by an unsu-
thorized military force men who had
offered no violence, who had them
selves protected the property Of their
and who were simply de-
manding Justice to themselves and
their families. Resistance to this
band Of assassins is held to be treason
by the supreme court Of PennSyl-
vania.
We cannot add to the force Of Mr..
Clemens article by any comments Of
our own. We desire simply to call
to il and ask every voter,
and especially every lsbOring man, to
give it a careful reading.

ANOTHER REPORT OF A OOMMIs-
SI0NER OF LABOR STATISTIOS.

Our republican friends have taken
great delight in quoting from the re-
port of certain democratic commits
sioner of labor statistics recently. In
another column will be found an ar
ticle under the title Of "You Can't 4
Acre U.s." in which the report of a
certain republican commissioner of
labor statistics is freely quoted. This
report is not as recent as Commits
sioner Peck'g, but inasmuch as it has
not heretofore been brought to the at
tention Of the people, we recommend
republican editors to make liberal use
Of these quotations. They are not
copyrighted, and there is no penalty
attached to their reproduction.

THIS rs SARCASM,

The Kansas bankers are meeting in To-
peks to-day. These are the men who have
to bear the brunt of the onslaught by the
POpulists, and yet they are the men who
have in the past 80 managed the monetary
affairs of Kansas that to-day she is the fore
most western state. They have always stood
up for Kansas, and they always will.-State
Journal.
This is fine-spun sarcasm. The
bankers have always stood up for
Kansas, and you might add, for the
United States, just as the Jew always
stood up for Venice. When civil war
burst upon the country with all its
dreadful cslsmities, there was the
patriotic banker, ready to loan Uncle
Sam his cash provided he could get
as security gold-besring bonds, while
the soldier took his $13 a month in
deprecated paper. When grasshop-
pers and drought visited Kansas,
spreading desolation far and wide, the
banker was there furnishing money
to keep starvation from the door, at
Is per cent. per annum. But there
are some good bankers-some excep-
tions to the rule, although the good
ones don't seem to prosper as well as
the other kind. There were q few
who went into the army or helped to
care for the widows and orphans at
home instead of scheming to rob the
government, and there were those
who have assisted the unfortunate
in Kansas. IF we could only regulate
the system so that honesty In the
business would not be discouraged,
the banking fraternity would be one
of the best in the world.

OLD STRAW,

':His arguments on the tariff ques-
tion were Of unusual force"
The above appears in the Wichita
Eagles report Of Senator Perkins
speech. There is no longer any force
whstevsr,to a protection argument in
this state. Kansas is a free trade
state to-day if a campaign were con-
Quoted upon that single issue, and
yet this stand-up crowd is still
threshing over that old protection,
straw and hoping to win by it. There
is no wonder they can get no crowds
at their meetings.

JUDICIAL ANARCHY.

In another column will be found
an article by Mr.. G. @. Clemens upon
the subject of the late charge to the
grand jury of the supreme court Of
Pennsylvania in which it is held that
the members Of the Amalgamated
association who resisted the invasion
Of their homes by Plnkerton thugs
were guilty of treason. There is
matter in that ruling Of the court
that should command the most care
ful and unprejudiced consideration.
The Pinkerton army consists Of
about $4,000 men, regularly enrolled
40 a private military force. There Is
no law upon our national statute
books, or upor the statute books OF
any state in the Union, authorizing its
existence. 1t is a lawless band Of
Dnercenaries subject to hire ofmillion-

LOOK OUT FOR FAKES.

AS election day approaches the SER
vices Of the republican fake editor
become more valuable in accordance
with the great law of supply and de-
msnd. Although the supply is by no
means limited, the demand is very
great, and the few days. that now in
tervene before election will witness
great activity in the market. How
ever great the demand, there is little
danger Of any one selling short, and
no failures in business may be antici-
pated except as a result Of the retire
ment of some Of the spectators after
November 8.
It is important for voters to be on
their guard now for these fakes, in
order that they be not deceived by
them. The purported interview with
Mrs. Lease which has filed the col
umns Of the republican press, and
filed other columns with editorial
comment upon 1t, is q case in point.
All the insulting illusions to Mrs.
Lease that have been of daily occur
renee since the beginning of this
movement suddenly disappear from
the republican editorial paragraph
er's column, and she has become all
at once a most wonderful woman. It
is highly necessary that this should
be so in order to give force to the fake
interview.
Other fakes will follow this, and
must be looked for by the people.
Will the intelligent voters of Kansas
be fooled by theml Well, hardly.
Not this year. Don't let anybody
take the trouble to write letters ask
ing if there is any truth in them.
Assume them to be false on general
principles. Anything that has any
truth in it that could injure the Peo-
ple's cause would be brought out ear
lier in the season in order that 1t
might have more time to work injury.

not the only state that has reason to
be ashamed of the men who have

greatest Of these is ex-governor For

KANSAS asked the advice of mo

tory step for Independent political
action. She did not wait to inquire
whether any other state would follow
her lead. She took thus step because
it was right, and she will not now
turn backward through any external
influence or at the behest of the local

SOLDIERS HOMES.

Among the public institutions OF
this country at the present time, not
the least important are the soldiers
homes Millions Of dollars have been
expended in purchasing and beauti-
tying grounds, and in the erection
and furnishing Of magnificent build
ings to serve as homes for the old
veterans who are disqualified by
wounds, by disease, or by the infrmi-
ties Of age for labor whereby to pro-
vide for themselves and families in
their declining years. In the rules
and regulations of these institutions
are to be seen some Of the evidences
Of republican craftsmanship and graf
ituds TO the defenders Of the nation.
For the soldier who has no family,
the home is perhaps all thRt could be
desired. It could hardly be other
wise, except by Encouragement,
which is a fault common to most pub
lie institutions. Among them all,
probably the soldiers home is as free
from evils arising from this cause as
any institution in the country. 1t is
not to criticise in this respect that we
write at this time. There is a defect,
however, in the laws governing these
homes that is disgrace to the Ameri-
can people. The old soldier who is
no longer able to provide or care for
himself may be admitted to the home
where the comforts of life are sup
piled, but what of his wife? She who
suffered the horrors Of anxiety and
suspense, and who nevertheless
nervsd and inspired him with forti-
tude and courage while in the field,
and who has walked by his side all
along the subsequent journey Of life
the devil may take her now. In
order to become an occupant of the
home, the soldier must abandon her,
and she must shift for herself.
A visitor to one of these institu-
tions, in conversation with one of the
inmates who was so crippled by
wounds and by age as to be inCom-
petent to care for himself, spoke Of
the comforts with which he was pro-
vided as source of gratitude. The
answer was: Were you 9 soldier,
how would you like to be separated
from your wife, and simply be wait
ing here to die2"
This rule relative to admission to
the home is another of the evidences
Of republican regard for the old sol
der. They love him; oh, how they
love him-for his vote.

A Horse at Home in the Tree Tops.

We have been told Of many ludicrous
scenes and incidents growing out of the
great food OF June 4, and ambitious re.
porters have busted clouds and mill
dams, and almost ruined their imagina-
tions in their frantic endeavors to gain
notoriety and fame in reportorial jour
nalism, but the incident we are about to
relate is true and told without hope of
reward. On the Sunday following the
flood, after the waters had subsided, l..
B. Preston, of Tryonville, discovered
that he was minus two horses, and of
course search was instituted for the lost.
Near the village is large wild grape

large spreading top, the vine, as is fire.
quently the case, forming sort of net
work among the branches; and there,
over ten feet from the ground, in the
protecting embraces of the tree top and
vine was found one of the lost horses
alive and safe. The animal was rescued
from his lofty quarters, and is now no
torious as hero and food relic. If any
one can tell bigger story and speak the
truth, let him now take the floor or else

Work of the Christian Endeavor Societies.
Those who say there is nothing new
under the sun would be sorely put
TO it to find the counterpart of the Young
Peoples Societies of Christian Endeayor,
When, before this year of grace, has the
earth thrilled to the tread of 100000
young people bound together with a
single pledge-to do what? Pedal BIZ
cycle or swing tennis racquet? No; to
read the Bible and pray every day, to
take part regularly in prayer meeting,
support their own churches and engage
in active Christian enterprises. There's
new aspect of young America for you'll
Young America? should rather say
Young World.
If any one thinks that Christianity is
senescent he has sufficient answer in
this army of 1900 full regiments. 1t is
marching with the steady swing Of vet
Grams. and yet with the buoyancy Of
youth. Now and then an old Christian
shrugs his shoulders, "After us, the
deluge." True; a deluge of fresher Wig
or, keener wits, stronger faith. Look at
the young peoples religious societies Of
this decade and you will have no fear
for the church Of the Twentieth century.
To one who believes all this it is in
deed astonishing that there are some
who never heard of the Christian En-
deavor movement, VINO do not know
how, only eleven years ago last Febru-
ary. from the elements of revival In
church in Maine, an earnest pastor and
faithful people, was crystallized this new
jewel of the churchs scepter, the Chris
tian Endeavor pledge. What was at
tractive about it? Where were the jokes,
the uniforms, the cake and candy, the
glitter and gayety that alone were sup
posed capable of drawing young people?
If for nothing else, the world owes this
movement its profound gratitude for
proving the deep seriousness of the
young. It used to be said, "Win them
by persons. Now it is said, win them
by principles. s."-Harper's Weekly.

LONDON, March 12.-The cabinet held
long conference today, being in ses-
sion over two hours. Usually at this
time of year the meetings are short.
The cause of the protracted session to-
day is understood to have been the
gravity of the situation in which
the government now finds itself
placed, There is reason to believe
that it has decided to drop all the big
bills on the government programme,
finish the estimates and other absO-
lutely necessary business at the earliest
possible moment and then dissolve par
lament. Doubtless Lord Salisbury will
obtain the queens assent to this line
of action at Mondays meeting of the
privy council. 1t is an open secret that
her majesty prevented dissolution at
the time of the temporary panic during
that Mr.. Gladstone might be returned
to power through the general elections
if then held. 1t is stated that she now
realizes that dissolution is inevitable.
The Sunday Sun reports that q cabi-
net council held yesterday discussed
the advisability of bring about labor
bill as bstitute for the Irish local
government bill. The Sun states that
the whole election machine of the min
3isterialists is in panic as the result OF
London county council election, and
that the ministers have been strongly
urged to take the step they contem-
n1afa
