It is expected congress will adjourn
next week-as soon as the silver pur-
chase law is repealed. To hear the
Democrats howl about tbs injustice
the people suffered by the robber
Mckinley tariff it was re 1sonable to
suppose that they would stop the suf-
fering as soon as they could. Now
that they have the power, why don't
they do it? If the wrongs are as Sc
rious as claimed the party in power is
not justified in delaying action.
The Royalton Banner expresses a
hope that Little Falls will be satisfied
for at least another year. We are
satisfied when doing good for the
county, but this city is just as red hot
to push ahead tho public interests as
it was last week. IF any move is
plainly for the general county good
the county will be allowed an oppor.
tunity to join in advancing the enter.
prise but if the project is closely con.
fined to Little Falls this city will It.
self stand the burden. Oh, we are
more than fair. ~ f.

The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-07-26
was nominated, and the record con.

was nominated, and the record con-
tinues:
The ticket placed in nomination is de-
nominated by those who participated in the
convention, ''the Peoples ticket"
This was whlle the ADVOCATE was
published at Meriden, in Jefferson
county, and until another claimant
for the honor appears with records
antedating this, we shall have to
claim for Jefferson county the dis
junction OF having given birth to the
new party.
The circumstances that led to this
action were these: The Farmers
Alliance had become quite strcng in
the county, and at the County ALI
ance meeting platform was adopted
embracing the demands of the ALI
ance for needed reforms. A commit
tee was appointed to present this
platform to the old parties at their
conventions, and the support Of the
Alliance was pledged to whatever
party should adopt it. OF course, it
was rejected with scorn, and the COM
mittee was treated with the utmost
contempt by the old party heelers.
This determined the members Of the
Alliance to put out Peoples ticket.
The platform adopted by the county
Alliance is published IN the same
issue of the ADVOCATE as the proceed
ing of the Peoples convention (OctO-
ber 26), and it embraces all the
essential principles of the platform
adopted at Omaha.
These facts are matters Of record,
and Wichita will have to surrender
it's claim to the initiative of the Peo-
pies party to Jefferson county.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-07-26

The statement that 10000 old SOL
diers in Kansas have been stricken
from the pension rolls would be more
satisfactory if some of the names
were given. 1t would also be inter-
esting to know their politics, not that
this would have anything to do with
it-of course not-but simply as an
evidence Of good faith.

THE ORIGIN OF THE P0PULIsT
PARTY.
PARTY.

We observe that Wichita is claim
ing the distinguished honor OF having
started the Populist movement. The
following paragraph, which is now
being extensively quoted, is thought
to establish this claim:
The records Of the SedgWiok County
Union Labor central committee show that
the DR.. Pratt resolution adopted April 8,
1890, at Wichita, KaS., was the "inistive" of
the PopuliSt party in the United States.
We propose to contest this claim.
Turning to the files of the ADVOCATE,
in the issue of October 26, 1889, we
find this record:
In pursuance Of the call published in the
ADVOCATE last week, mass convention,

1866 the United States had the largest
amount Of money in circulation, Prices
were higher, labor was employed at high
wages, while the business failures in 1865
and 1866 numbered only 1852, involving
loss Of less than S65,OO0,OOO. In 1890
and 81 the population had about
doubled, and the business failures we're
23,O67, involving nearly $3.50, O,OO0,O 900, and
that does not include foreclosure Of
mortgages or failure Of small farmers
and trsdesmen.
From 1866 to 1891 the volume OF busi-
ness had increased out Of all proportion
to the volume Of money for business pur-
poses. The financial system had been
rsmodeled to please the dealers in hard
cssh. The change wrought the most
marvellous results in these few years in
the United States ever wrought in any
nation in a hundred years. From the
upper rounds Of the ladder OF prosperity
the farmers fell to the lowest depths of
adVersity. Farms free from incumbrsnce
in 1866 are to-day mortgaged for more
than they would sell for in the open
market. Tens of thousands of homes
have been sold by the officers OF the law.
Thousands Of men who were happy,
thrifty and prosperous in 1866 are in
pRuper'a graves.
Something is wrong What is it ?
The wealth of the world has greatly in
creased. There are thousand million
aires this morning where there was but
one thirty years ago. There are mil
lion real estate and chattel mortgages
to-day where there were but thousands
then. Never before was so much money
expended in handsome and costly
churches, and never before were 30 many
American citizens in the aims houses,
the insane asylums, the brothels and the
gutter, and never 30 many children cry
ing for bread. Something is wrong
Who is to blame
Mankind cannot be made industrious,
heslthful or happy by statutory enact
ment, but the trend Of church, club,
party and legislation can be turned away
from the grasp Of msmmon and toward
the fellowship of humanity. The path
OF Gods thunderbolt is in q direct line
from the right to the wrong, and woe be
to the citizen, the sect, the creed, the
party, the platform standing in the path
of that wrathful bolt. Mammon has
ruled and ruined Give humanity q
chance. On this Sabbath morning Of
the grand holiday month Of American
citizens in this Columbian year, it is q
good time to about face and enlist in
the cause Of the fatEerhood Of God and
the brotherhood Of man.

Is THIS CALAMITY

The shrinksge Of land values during
the past twenty years in the eastern
states is really alarming. And, what
affects our readers more directly, the
shrinksge in land values has sorely at
hicted farmers and other land owners in
the west. It has been the custom In
this country to point to England as a
frightful example OF the upbuilding Of
the few at the expense of the many, but
il things keep on at the present gait sf-
fairs will, within twenty years, be IS dis
tressing in the United States as in Eng
land.
The last census report shows that in
New York and New England the shrink
age in land values from 1870 to 1890
amounted to many millions Of dollars.
In Massachusetts, the population in
creased less than 26 per cent. from 1880
to 1890, while the mortgage debt in
creased more than 168 per cent. In that
state the mortgsged acre represents q
debt Of $5031, and the mortgsged lot
and improvements a debt Of $2,843.
During that ten years the mortgage
debt Of the people of that state increased
from 1923, ,176, ,133 to SIS, ,626,344. To show
how interest gnsws at the vltsls Of in
dustry, the report shows that some mort
cages drew from 10 to 144 per cent.
interest. One mortgage drew "a per
cent. interest, and one Of $4,000 drew II
per cent. a month, or 144 per cent. per
annum. Has there ever beon anything
worse in KsnsasP
The shrinksge OF values since 1870 has
entsiled more misery and filled more
graves than all other causes combined
The farmer who was fortunate enough
to sell his farm in New York or MRsss-
chusetts in 1870, for cash, can now go
into the market there and purchase
three such farms for the same money.
Is there any real reason for surprise that
the farmers there are dissatisfied and
crying loudly for change? The money
loaner there has grown rich while the
borrower has gone to the dogs. Men
who bought New England or New York
farms on ten years time at 8 per cent in
terest in 1870 could not now sell their
farms for as much as they paid in inter
est on the investment, saying nothing Of
the principal.
Interest has a VorRcious appetite. It
eats day and night; during the sunshine
and the storm. 1t never let's up. 1t is
conscienceless as a cold chisel and as
cruel as a buzzssw at lightning speed.
Nothing fattens like compound interest.
Saving money is q slow process COM
pared with interest compounded each
year. A saving Of six dollars q week from
the dawn of the Christian era, down to
this Sabbath morning, would amount to
lees than six hundred thousand dollars.
That is a great deal Of spot cash to save
in 1893 years, but il in July, 1893, sim
gle dollar had been loaned at 18
per cent. compound interest it would
amount to over fifteen million dollars to-
day. That is more money than will be
dropped into all the contribution boxes
in ell the churches in all the world this
morning, but that fifteen million dollars
was only one hundred cents one hun
dred years ago this blessed Sabbath
morning.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-07-26

who buried his borrowed money in the
earth, stands "upon the verge Of moral
and material ruin" 1t is warm weather,
but you can read that chapter on politi-
cal economy with great profit.
That chapter referred to the want Of
forethought and prudence in men, but
that does not cover the case OF those
citizens Of New York and New England
who invested in lands at q time when
grain was high, money plenty and land
values advancing, and they could not
foresee the financial policy insugursted
in 1873 to make money scarce, interest
high, produce cheap and lands Of less
value. The picture drawn by Matthew
teaches that the borrower should know
what he is to do with the loan, and that
il he expects to make it profitable he
must have something decisive to say
about rates Of interest and the penalties
for n-payment. In short, he can not
succeed if he trusts to luch, goes fishing
and leaves the loan matter to care for
itself.
Prudence and industry are the parents
Of thrift. Idleness and want are twins.
The man who never works or thinks is
Of the machine made brand. He is but
little more than machine himself. Cal
culation is a good and handy thing to
have in the house. The men who have
grown excessively rich by losning money
are lightning calculatOrs. They are ever
alert to their own interest, and look we'll
to the security Of the principal also.
They have figured out that 800 at COM
pound interest for 100 years accumulates
316 times as fast at 8 per cent. as at 2
per cent. They know that it would
grow in that time eighteen times as fast
at per cent. as at per cent, They
know the average rate of interest in the
United States is 8 per cent, and that
when it is paid in advance it is the equiv
alent of compound interest.
They know that when money is scarce
or timid, rates Of interest are high; that
our nation is filled with tramps, idlers,
millionaires and renters on the farm
and in the town. They know that if
greed can control legislation and dis
criminate in favor of money held for
loan, and against capital and labor in
field, farm and shop, there will be more
wealth for few and more poverty for
the many. They know that party whips
compel men to vote against the interest
Of labor aud land at every general cleo
tion, and that public patronage is used
by the party in power to stiAe manly con-
victions, debauch the public conscience
and corrupt the public press. They
know that they control fashionable
churches and popular preachers by the
wand of gold. They know it is more
profitable to preach, pray, talk and write
for spot cash than for humanity.
Dives may have landed in a very warm
zone where he would have swapped mil
lions for palm leaf fan and a chunk Of
ice, but greed figures that he had q
mighty good time on the way through
life, had fashionable funeral and left
stocks and bonds for "his sisters, his
cousins and his aunts," besides hand
some bequest to the church Of Saint
Sleek, and as he managed to climb so
