WHAT 1T MEANS.

"What does it mean:" asks the Beacon
referring to the Tuesday parade. The
| Beacon then proceeds to strain out of
an insincere mind and heart a number
of meanings for that demonstration. The
| Beacon cannot deceive itself. Every
line shows that it cannot and will not
| deceive anybody else. That demonstra
ton does not mean anything Democratic.
What does it mean: 1t means that a
great many men believe that this coun-
try is on the verge of moral, material
and commercial ruin"
1t means that a great many believe
that there is something woefully wrong
and that both the old parties are in a
measure responsible for the wrong.
1t means that the doctrine of the
fathers and the authority of the consti-
tuition ''to coin money and regulate the
value thereof" as interpreted bv the
Democracy is hideous relic of barbar-
ism.
1t means that these people believe that
money is not thing of value. IS not a
representative of value, but fiat of the
nation, saying: This piece Of paper has
much virtue: j. will pay debts TO the
extent of its face: it will purchase
this worlds good. Aud yet it has no
value, intrinsically, and is not convert
able into anything OF value. Il is sim
ply Z great motive power, transferring
wealth from one hand to another"
1t means that the use of gold and sill
yer as money Is waste OF material be-
cause no intrinsicaliv valuable thing is
necessary to found any money on.
Il means that the government ought
to own the railroads, regulate private
business and compel the employer to
provide employment al reasonable
wages for all who work
1t means that the doctrine OF JeFer-
son, that the government: should govern
least. consistent With good police regu-
lation," is wrong and that a govern
ment Of pa.ernalism, natlonalism and
vicious Capitalization should be inauSur-
ated.
/. means that the theories OF regulat-
Ing trade by protection or free trade Is
bur sham battle by the Republicans
and Democrats whereby the real issue
may be cbscured and shylocks enabled
10 Cypress the people stiIl more.
IL means ant2gonisn 10 every
principle that Democracy has CON
tended for, WIFE the possible ex-
ception OF free trade which IL regards OF
little significance.

Senator PETER says the contest this
year is between Cleveland and Weaver
and that Harrison Is not in it. The sena-

has sublime confidence in the sticking
quality Of the Democracy in this state.
How Go Kansas Democrats like the idea
OF helping to defeat their own candidate
for president: There is just as much
truth in the claim that the contest Is be-
tween Weaver and Cleveland as that
Harrison is not in IL.

1t is said that the business of the rail-
roads in the United States is increasing
at the rate OF fifteen per cent. annually.
During the past ten years there has been
but little railroad building and in Kan
sas practically none. II there has been
a gain Of forty-iive per cent. in business
in the past three years with scarcely any
increase IN mileage, railroads ought 10
be doing healthy business at the pres
ent time. In Kansas this percentage of
increase is certainly not overestimatel
as the crops OF 1891 and 1892 in the item
of wheat are three times as much AS
they were five years ago. With their
fast increasing business it looks rs
though the roads could we'll afford some
concessions in their charges, for hv do
ing so they would still further stimulate
business.

BROW n CORN.

To those who have given the subject
no thought, the fact that Kansas is the
second state in the union in the quantity
OF broom corn raised is a matter of sur.
prise. Last year Kansas raised 10000
tons Of broom corn which sells at from
seventy-fve to eighty dollars ton. 1t
costs two dollars for seed per acre and
three acres will produce ton; there is
but little labor attached to the growing
of 1T, and owing to the fact that the
west looks to Kansas for supplies, broom
corn brings as high price here as in the
east.
When the farmers of Kansas realize
the fact that no climate and soil in the
world will admit of greater variety of
crops and make IN intelligent use of the
opportunities afforded them, then will
our state forge TO the front as the great
est agricultural state in the union and
VIII be so recognized, We can raise all
the variety of crops raised north of us
and all that are raised south, unless it is
cotton, and even that has been success
fully raised in Kansas, the only draw
back being the price of labor. Broom
corn Is not only profitable crop and
one that is easily and cheaply produced,
but 1t is also one Of the surest crops that
can be planted. In view of all these
factslt IS matter of some surprise that
1t has not been more extensively grown
IN the western part of the state than it
has hitherto.

STOP LYING.

The Topeka Journal culled the tele
graphic statements sent from WIGHT;
by special correspondents in regard t.
the Demopop demonstration III this cit,
last Tuesday, and also the EAGLE
statement as to the number of people
vehicles, etc., in the parade and the
number of people in the park at the
| time OF the speaking, and these excerpts
show the widest discrepancy. The Jour
nal also published in that connection the
following which it says was the Associ-
ated Press report of the affair:
WICHITA. Kan, Sept. 13.-The Fusion
lists opened the campaign in this city for
this congressional district today. L. d.
Lewelling, w. A. Harris and Jerry Simp-
son were the principal speakers. The pro-
cession included 1856 people, 1,4U We
hicles and i ,725 voters. The parade took
one hour and thlrty-five minutes TO pass a
given point.
Commenting upon this dispatch the
Journal says:
The Associated Press is usually re-
garded as non-partisan. L. is composed
of both Republican and Democratic
newspapers and its agents are not al
lowed to mix politics with the news
While the Associated Press may occa-
sionally err, it is the most reliable and
impartial agency for collecting news in
the world"
What the Journal says is substantially
true, but in accepting the dispatch
quoted as report Of the Associated Press
agent in this city, the Journal suffered
itself imposed upon. The Press agent did
send out statement in Intervening of the
day, but it was substantially
the same as appeared in the EAGLES
account of the affair. The dispatch
quoted by the Journal was not sent nor
by the Associated Press
agent and IS IN no sense true. The EAGLE
stands by its report of the event, and if
proof were needed to substantiate its
it is found in the fact that
neither Of the opposition organs in this
city have published line or word con-
,radicting our statement. Il will also
be verified by hundreds of citizens of
All parties who witnessed the demon
'tratlon ard kept count of the numbers. |
There is nothing to be gained by mis- |
representation. The truth will out,
sooner or later, and the one who pre- |
Terts it stand before his community

BUSIN ESS.

The clearing house reports for the
week ended Friday night show de-
crease in the volume Of business for the
country at large of per cent. compared
with second week in September, 1891,
though Wichita's clearings were nearly
II per cent. larger. Any increase at all
IN the volume of business in Kansas
while the balance of the country suf-
fered decrease, is an anti-Calamity
cllncher. The depression indicated for
the country at large is chargeabIe di-
rectly to the cholera invasion on the At
iantlc seaboard, but for which a good,
healthy state of trade aud general bust
ness prosperity would unquestionably
have been exhibited. As Hon, White
law Read said in his speech in New
York, Friday, the country has never en-
Joyed an era of greater prosperity than
prevails at the present time. Even the
national political campaign, which usu-
ally exerts depressing effect for the
time upon the commercial and indus
trial interests Of the country, has
no such effect this year, which
shows that the country is not on the
verge of financial and material ruin,
that the people are satisfied with the
present policy of government and that
they do not propose to make any radi-
cal changes.

"MURDOCK'S CURE-No GOOD"

To The Editor Of the Eagle.
On one of the wagons that formed q
part of the recent populist parade here
there appeared the inscription, under a
row OF magnificent corn ears: "Mur-
docks Cure for Calamity-No Good"
This seems to have become the animat-
ing idea of some of those who have been
induced to listen to the teachings of the
false prophets who have estranged from
us the respect of all our sister states. 1t
is the legitimate outcome of the teach
ings which say that human legislation
alone fixes the reward of labor; that
mans laws alone are responsible for the
fact that the reward of the labor Of one
is higher than that of the labor of
another; when the true cause lies in the
laws, not of nations but of nature.
From such advise as that of the mother
of Calamity, Hrs. Lease, to "raise less
corn and wheat and more he'll" arises
this idea which, traced to its true spring
and analysed for its true meaning, re-
veals the one in the Discrimination of
men to work, the other to be that those
who are capable of enforcing such con-
tribution from their fellow citizens shall
live without labor of hand or brain,
upon the industry of those whom they
may be able to coerce to their ends. Is
there any such "plutocracy," any such
outrageous idea, to be found in the
principles of the legisla
tive sanctions of our statutes
If "Murdock's cure" is no good, then
honest industry is no good, for that is
the cure and the only cure for whatever
there may exist Of the alleged harpships
which fall upon our penple-and these
fall upon our VIII ole people, not upon one
class or another simply. WILSON.

money but to get the largest possible

The talk of the Beacon about plutoc-

While that millionaire swindier Quoting

New York World is charged with the
collection Of the corruption fund to
prosecute Campaign OF education" OF
the poor ard ignorant farmers of the
west, and Colonel Brice plays his game
of politics inside Democratic headquar-
tiers, it comes with i'll grace for the
Democracy to say anything about plu-
tocracy and Wall street.
What does it mean?
It means that the Democracy made a
cowardly surrender through its bosses.
1t means that the Democracy in this
state has passed into ''innocuous desue-
tude."
1t means that no Democratic orator
can be heard in this campaign; no
Democratic paper can raise its voice ex
cept to cry Calamity. Calamity!
Down with plutocracy! On to Wall
street."
1t means humiliation and utter and
everlasting defeat to the Kansas Democ-
racy.
1t means more noise and less reason
than Kansas ever saw before the advent
of calamity as a political issue.
1t cannot win, and if by chance it
should, the victory will be but for day.
These mad men Will return to their
senses, they will despise the gutter
snipes who Kissed them on, and the
Democrats who have self-respect left
will never dance 10 this Calamity dirge
more.
