The affidavit of the Denver man with
regard to the part England played in
the demonstration of silver in 1873,
corroborates mass of other testimony
on that point, and establishes the fact
that English bankers corrupted the
American congress and placed a yoke
upon American freemen which both
the old parties have, for twenty years,
refused to interfere with. We learn
from the Denver Road that the assO-
ciated press refused to send the affida-
Wit over their wires. "Vast sums of
money" says the Road, "were offered
to the representatives of that aSSocia-
ton to wire it to their complete list OF
papers, but all to no purpose. The
money of the gold trust is better than
the money of the people. To the mem
bers of the Reform Press Association
throughout the nation, we appeal
print the affidavit in black faced type
and keep it standing until next No.
vember. We know Mr.. Luckenbach
personally and know him to be an hon.
est, honorable man."

Another express company has been
discharging men after the example de
by the Adams company. There has
been nearly hundred messengers
discharged at last accounts for being
members of the Messenger Brother
hood. Express companies have Alright
to demand the utmost fidelity in their
messengers, and to hold them to a
very strict account, but the public will
hardly agree that membership in the
Brotherhood aloneiS sufficient reason
for discharge. One agent is reported
to have said: ave do not propose to
have any Brotherhood men on our
route. They are inimical to the inter-
ests of the company" To deny work.
ingmen the right to form associations
in their own interest is to deny them
an inalienable right of freemen. If
any association is unlawful or any
member commits unlawful acts, let the
responsibility be met, but combining
corporations cannot consistently con-
denim employees simply for combining.
Christian Standard.
Wonder if the members Of the "Rail-
road Employees Brotherhood" are 'ex-
empt from this sort of treatment from
the charitably disposed corporations
they are serving. Wait until a dis
agreement occurs. They may then be
"inimical" to the interests of their ten
derhearted bosses.

The Sumner County Farmers Mu-
tual Insurance Company was organized
in May, 1889, and for three years run
along smoothly without any assess
ment. Many stories were set afoat by
the emiSSaries of other companies to
the effect that our company could not
withstand any great loss. "What if a
tornado should pass through a locality
insured by your company? 1t would
bust it, sure" are expressions that
frequently come to our ears. Well, the
tornado did come and a more destruc-
tive one was seldom, if ever, heard of.
Nine farmers insured in our company
were in its awful track, and their losses
as adjusted amounted to S3,0Sl.25.
The Oldest mutual in the state that has
been running for over twelve years
and carries S1,l75,OOO insurance never
had as large a loss as this one in any
one year. 1t was an unprecedented
loss; yet the patrons of the company
responded so quickly that in thirty
days from the time the assessment was
made every one of the nine losses was
paid. What is the effect? During the
month of April the amount of insur.
ance written was greater than for the
three months previous. Heretofore we
have had to depend upon a few farmers
for our agents. They would only work
a day now and then as time would per
nit. Now we have secured the ser
vices Of two efficient and experienced
men, Messrs. G. II. Fish and W. d
McKinstry, who will devote their entire
time to canvassing for our company
To the members who so promptly re
spOnded to the assessment made Apri
u, we send greeting. You can proud!
boast that your money has gone to
noble purpOSe-that of again building
| up the deSolate homes of brother farm
ers, instead of going to Mammon's cot
! fer5 in the eastern states or in Europe
as is the case with money paid to stool
companies "Bear We one anothef
burdens" should be our motto TheI
in this company let us remember tina
the risk remains athome, and the prof
remains at home, and the profit remain
with the insured.
Where is there man that does no
feel proud of his state-grand old Kan
Sas ?-Where is there a man that doe
not love to boast of her ability, her en-
terprise and her institutions. The
where is there man who can raise
finger against upright, honest HON
mutual insurance?

The Abilene Reflector tells of a man
in Dickinson county who tried the sub
treasury scheme with Kansas City
firm, depositing leo bushels of wheat
last fall, drawing 80 per cent of its
market value and waiting for a raise
in the market. He was called on to
settle the other day and he had to pay
sl5 for storage, IS interest and 80 in
surance, and he says the total cost Of
his experience is just S52 cash.-Moni-
tor.
With the controlling lever of money
expansion and contraction in the hands
of the monopolists the sub-treasury is
dead failure, as is evidenced by the
sub-treasury warehouse scheme given
us by the Republican legislature Of
Kansas and now lying dormant on'the
statute books. No stree, Mr.. Monitor,
we propose to 90 after the money mo-
nopoly before we monkey with your
warehouse scheme.
