THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT.

Ben. Butler of Massachusetts, the
distinguished general, statesman, lawyer
and politician, has been little too
much inclined to favor reforms, So
called, and cranky isms; but when he
lets them alone and comes down to legal
matters and common sense, he hits the
nail on the bead every time with sledge-
hammer force. Here is his opinion of
the latest "reform" out, aud biggest
humbug of the age, "the Australian
ballot system :"
''The adoption of that system of bal
loting wounds my self-pride. We of
Massachusetts, at least, are free men,
coming from the Puritans who voted
with kernel of corn for yes, and bean
for no. We have been trying to improve
our system of baIloting for more than
twenty-five years by methods devised
with all our culture, aided especially by
Harvard college in getting the best sys-
tenn by which free, enlightened people
will express their decision upon the
measures and the men which govern
them. Throwing away all we had
learned, we went to the south seas. to
an island settled by British felons, and
took their system, which was devised by
such community to make them vote
honestly, and imported it for our use,
thus acknowledging that it was neces-
sary that people should be convicted
and punished for at le st one felony in
order to 90 quicken the inventive power
of people as to frame the best system
of balloting for the people of the United
States of America. That ballot was
framed to make convict, if he voted at
all. keep it secret from his keeper how
he voted. The vote should be cast in
dependently, not sneakingly.
"This cross between British aristoc-
racy and ignorant savagery, this pro-
duct of the fag end of creation, framed
by English spobs to hold down the ig-
porant sheep herders, gold hunters,
varnish diggers, rovers and professional
robbers of Australia, who are very little
batter than the kangaroos and laughing
jackasses of the deserts, and who can
make a cross opposite name but can
not erase a name and write another in
place of it, was taken up by all the
cranks in the United States, as some
thing really smart, aud has been adopted
by a number of the states, includin
Oregon, without anybody knowing what
1T was good for or what necessity there
was for putting intelligent, Tree Ameri-
cans, who can read and write and pre-
pare their own ballots, on a level with
the ignorant, half-savage herders of
Australia, penning them up in stalls,
one at time, like cattle at branding
tune"

The editor ofthe Lawrence World,

The editor ofthe Lawrence World,
in a recent issue of his paper, said
he did not consider Geo. 7. Anthony
fit man to represent Kansas in con-
gress yet, as he was nominated by
the Republican convention, he con:
siders it his duty to support An
thony. In another item, in another
column the editor speaks of John N.
Reynolds candidacy for state sena-
tor in the Atchison district, and says
his nomination would be disgrace,
and that decent Republicans would
not support, even if the convention
should nominate, Reynolds. Why
does the World talk so of Reynolds?
Simply for this reason John N.
Reynolds served term in the peni-
tentiiary for using the United States
mail for fraudulent purposes. Geo.
T.Anthony, if D. R. Anthony's test
imony is true land it is, else Geo..
T. would have prosecuted him.,
should have served term-a long
term-in the penitentiary. But, be.
cause he did not serve term, the
Republicans nominated him for con-
gressman-at-large. About the only
difference between Geo. 7. Anthony
and Jno. N. Reynolds is that Rey-
nolds got into the "pen" and An
thony didn't.

D. r. is sufficient proof that he is
guilty. There is 10 more corrupt

Incomes OF Rich Men.

William Waldorf Astor's income
per annum is 1880 or $25, O27
per day, or $17.38 per minute.
John D. Rockefeller's income per
annum is $5,4sl, 900, $4,000 per
day, Gill per minute.
Cornelius Vanderbilt's income per
annum is $4,554, 900, $l2,4l7 per
day, So. 60 per minute.
We give above the yearly and
daily income of the three richest
men in the United States. There
are six other men whose yearly in
comes are from over one to four mil
lion dollars per annum. AS will be
seen, the daily incomes of these men
by far exceed the salaries paid to
most of our teachers or clergymen,
and would be a fortune to clerks,
statesmen or professional men. A
skilled mechanic, engineer, operat-
i've or farmer, working all the years
of a long life, seldom lays by as
much capital as the daily income Of
John D. Rockefeller. Very few Of
the millions of toilers receive as
much for days work, of ten hours,
as the income per minute, of William
Waldorf Astor; and thousands of
sewing women. and servant girls
work sixteen hours for as much mon.
ey as mis- income amounts to in a
single second. And yet, there are
people who claim to believe that
these men earned their possessions.
1t is impossible. 1t would take al
most the creative power of the Divine
Being to accumulate such vast pos
sessions in the limited time.
Those men have possession Of
what other men earned.

Fusion.

A Reeder correspondent of the
Journal charges the AeIrAToR with
working in the interest of the Re-
publican party. The correspondent
is mistaken. The AGIrAToR is work
ing in the interest of the Peoples
reform movement. 1t is working
for principle, at an immense disad-
vantage. When it opposes fusion
with the Democratic party, it does
SO with the certain conviction that
fusion will defeat the People'smove
ment. r'
If it was merely to turn Repub-
licans out of Office, a fusion of the
Peoples and Democratic parties
would be both desirable and sensi-
BILE. The Offices are only means to
an end. To turn Republicans out
of Office, and then admit others not
friendly to the reform movement,
would be a piece of egregious folly.
If the Democratic party believed in
Peoples party principles, or did the
Republican party, then the organiza-
ton of the Peoples party was folly
to begin with, and to fuse with
either party is virtually an admission
that the Peoples party is not need
ed, has no distinct principles, and
would stamp it as being merely a
political excrescence.

A CONGRESSMAN in the North Amer
lean Review prates about the duty
of the politician educating the mass
es, but ignores the fact that that is
what the politicians have pretended
to do for a quarter Of century, and
the consequence OF their false teach
ings is that the masses are in the
predicament of the fly that walked
into the parlor of the spider-they
have wings and legs, but no body.

TnO DIG 0OAV00s
The recent Democratic state con-
vention of Missouri has probably
solved the silver problem. The con-
vention adopted plank favoring the
free coinage of both gold and silver,
the bullion in the coins to be OF equal
value. The bullion in silver dollar
is now worth seventy cents, gold,
and in order to place silver coin on
parity with gold, all silver coin
now in existence would have to be
recoined, and that, with new issue,
would contain almost one third more
bullion than now. Silver coin is al
ready so heavy as to be inconvenient
and to add one-third more weight
would be burdensome. But suppose
the spectators should further de-
press the price of silver bullion, the
result would necessarily create an
immense draw on our silver re-
sources, and a sharp demand for
horses and vehicles. Bank vaults
would have to be enlarged, and the
burg!arious seizure of silver coin
would be reduced to minimum.
The benefit of such measure
would be the immediate coinage OF
all the surplus silver, without any
corresponding imitation of the cur
rency. And thus the mouths OF the
silver kings would be stopped, and
Wall street would be happy.
To be sure, there are some draw
backs. Ladies shopping could not
be expected to carry about more
than a few cents at time, but this
difficulty could be obviated by their
either having man servant to at
tend them in their shopping expedi-
tions, bearing bag of silver coin
or arranging with merchants to have
a dray sent to their residence to
"cart in" the pay for their purchas-
es; and thus this new order OF
things would create employment for
slarge number of unemployed, able
bodied men, and the surplus horses
now on the farms would meet with
ready sale.
1t is confidently expected that
Mr.. Cleveland will be willing to run
for president on a platform contain
ing the above plank, if adopted by
the national convention.
The new move is full of danger
to the Peoples party, for if it sue
ceeds, the silver kings, the unem-
ployed, able-bodied men and the
horse breeders will be conciliated.
