The lola Register says "the NOM

ton of Ed Greer. 1t is astonishing
to what desperate extremes men will
go in order to save their party.

which will be very apparent after
the votes are counted.-Manhattan

MONEY is only a representative OF
value. When that which it repre-
sents depreciates in value, t is evil
dence that there is not enough
money in circulation.
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1892-05-26

In the great money centres,
money commands from three to six
per cent. interest. In those portions
of the country where the actual
wealth is created, it commands from
ten to 100 per cent. The per cent.
depends altogether on the necessity
of the borrower, and the conscience,
or lack of conscience, of the lender.

The cutting sarcasm ofex-Speaker
Reed is not always directed against
the Democratic party. His latest
fling, as told by the Courier-Journal,
would indicate that there was no
error in the statement that Mr.. Reed
did not favor. the denomination of
the PRESIDENT. A few days since a
constituent of Mr.. Reed wrote him
a lengthy letter in whichhe earnest
ly advised him to "get on the Har-
rison band wagon as rapidly as pos
sible." To this communication the
ex-speaker replied briefly, saying:
"Your reference to . band wagon
is an erroneous figure of speech; MI.
Harrisons vehicle is an ice wagon"

WHEN needing or desiring a
change in the laws, or for any other
purpose, it has been the custom to
humbly petition congress to grant
the desired change. If the petition
did not conflict with scheme OF
the favored classes, it might, and
might not, be granted; but SO gen
orally has deaf ear been turned to
petitions that now redress for any
grievance is DEMANDED. That Amer
lean sovereigns should humbly petit
ton congressman to do that which
they were elected to do is entirely
too humiliating. A change has tax
en- place in the spirit of the peoples
dreams, ane all who are, henceforth
found wanting will be given an In
gals RELOCATION to the rear.

For twenty-seven years the labor.
ers of the United States have tOler,
ated system OF Legislation which
has robbed them Of the major part
of the fruits of their labor. During
all these years they were cajoled by
the politicians into voting tor the
old parties, and were praised for
their good sense. Now, when they
discover that the old parties have
been robbing them, and have re-
solved on a change for the better,
they are insultingly called anarch'
lists. When they will no longer
complacently submit to robbery,
they are cast out as evil.

every American should be proud of and
one that will bo looked back upon by
future generations az the dawning of an
era in our history which is now unim-
aginable almost in its results to the ma.
ton.
For the Vice Presidency, Whitelaw
Reid, of New York, was selected. Born
in Greene county, Ohio, and educated
at Miami University, he chose journal.
ism as bis profession. He was for a
time connected with the Ohio State
Journal, of Columbus, then with the
Cincinnati Gazette. Many of our older
readers will remember his brilliant let
ters from the front which appeared over
the signature of agate" during the
War of the Rebellion. Soon afterward he
published valuable work called "Ohio
in the War" which is text book among
the old soldiers of our State. Then he
became editor OF the New YORK Tribune
and continued in that position until his
old time schoolmate, Harrison, appoint
ed him U. S. Minister to France, which
position he filed with dignity and con-
spicuous ability until few weeks since,
when he resigned and returned home,
probably having received tip from the
President that there was plum ready
for him at Minneapolis. He is an able,
upright man of old Covenanter stock,
and, whilst not experienced in political
craftsmanship, still will be wise in
council and firm in execution of any
trust committed to him.
The platform adopted by the conven.
ton is an epitome of Republican princi-
pies. 1t is to all intents and purposes
the same upon which We stood in Ohio
last fall when we redeemed our State by
a majority that made us shout. When
we say that it was drafted by J. B. For
aker, the Chairman of the Committee OH
Resolutions, We need say no more to
convince Republicans that it is all right,
sound enough to bear al Republicans
and every upright, intelligent and patri-
otic Democrat in the United States
should they wish to mount it.
Summing up the work OF the last
week We can say that the prospects for
victory in November are brilliant.
Never had our party better coigue of
vantage, never had the Democratic party
worse outlook. We united on men
and on principles, they sundered and
shattered on both. We proud OF our
record in the past, they ashamed of
everything they have ever done. We
with credentials, they with stammering
promises. We come before the people
as party faithful to every former
pledge, they as fsithless, unreliable and
utterly unworthy of all confidence, and
all trust.
