SENATOR JOHN nARTIN.
He's All Right.

Topeka Press.
Senator John Martin has received
several pressing kilograms from the
New York papers relative to his views
on the Sherman act. Among them
was the following inquiry:
New YORK, June 8, 1893.
Hon. John Martin, Topeka, KAN:
On equally good security, money
now loans in England at One-quarter
the current rate in the U. S. In the
opinion Of prominent tinanciers, if the
Sherman act is to be repealed, imme-
diate relief will result from prompt
assurance thereof, and resulting in a
flow of cheap money from London to
America. Will you oblige the Times,
by wiring briefly, at our expense,
whether you favor repeal of Sherman
law, and what plan of currency issue
you favor?
LSigned) NEW YORK TINES.
The Senator today made the fol-
lowing reply by wire:
TOPEKA, Kan, June ID. 1898.
To the Editor OF the New York Times. New
York City, n. Y:
l Ianswer your telegram of June 8
as follows:
First-YOur statement as to rela-
tive rates Of interest in England and
the United States is not true.
SecOnd-l have no confidence what
ever in the opinions of your "prom-
inent tlnanciers." They were never
known to be right.
Third-The Sherman law has not
caused the present financial troubles,
and its repeal will have no such re-
suit as they assume.
FOurth-We neither want or need
cheap money from London or else
where.
Fifth-The Sherman law is and
was intended as trick and scheme
to destroy silver as money and should
be Immediately repealed, provided
proper silver legislation is Substitu-
ted.
Sixth-I am in favor of a currency
of gold, silver and treasury notes,
agreeably with the demands of the
Democratic national platform.
Seventh-If the secretary of the
treasury firmly resiSts the dictatiOn
of your prominent financiers" and
their associate cOnSpiratOrs in Europe
and elsewhere, the present financial
furry will be. brief and harmless.

AS to Pensions.

EDITOR VoICE:-Kindly give an old
soldier little space in your columns.
| have watched with deep interest
every act of che present administra-
tion and | must confess that am not
one whit disappointed in my expec-
tatiOns as to what they would do. In
the Democratic platform put forth
by the Democratic party in the cam
paign last fall, we were promised
great things for the people, but so far
| have failed to see one single act
which really tends to the benefit of
the masses. So far as the question
of financial affairs is concerned, Mr..
Cleveland and his cabinet are bowling
and making willing obeisance to every
mandate of Wall street and gold bug
ring, regardless Of the wishes of co.
100000 of American citizens. over
whom he has been chosen to preside.
But this by the way.
Now to the point | wish to speak
of in particular. Not content with
eXerting their utmost powers TO de-
strOy free coinage and secure the re-
peal Of the Sherman silver purchase
law, now comes the intelligence by
associated press dispatches from
Washington that Hoke Smith. secre-
tary of the interior, has tackled the
pension laws and proposes to cut off
pensions to the amount of fifteen OF
twenty million dollars, thus virtu.
ally annulling the act Of June q.
1890. Now right here want TO say
! that if the Democratic party wish
another lease of power they are max.
ing very poor start to gain it. II
HOke Smith x Co. only knew it. they
are furnishing a club to break their
own heads. What right has Hoke
Smith or any other Democratic Off.
cial TO tamper with or nullify any OF
the pension laws? 1t seems TO me
that it would take a decision Of the
supreme court to declare them null
and void. But he, it seems, is going
to work cutting down and out pen
siOns by the wholesale, so that none
Of US know how soon our names may
be stricken from the roll. II such i:
the reform Of the Democratic party.
"God pity us" il we get much OF It.
The act Of June %, 1890, was passed
for the benefit OF all old soldiers, who,
not by their own vicious habits, may
have become disabled since the war,
and are thereby rendered unable to

Ingalls,.

Now comes John j. ingalls, aud
says: ~ believe, since the November
election, that we are on the verge OF
the destruction of both the old
parties, and the adjustment Of po-
litical affairs to industrial, social. and
economic conditions. The Old siu,s
Of the war, Of the condition OF thr
negro in the South, Of reconstruction
and Of the suppression Of the neglO
vote, have been wiped out. 1 believe
that the people OF the NORTH halc
decided to let the SOutherners take
care Of the negro in their own way.
We shall have no more force bills.
Party politics have passed as a pO-
litical issue. | believe that we are in
the midst Of a transitional period in
political history. The parties will
have to abandon their present ISSUES
and take up legislation affecting So
cial and industrial conditions. such
as the tariff in relation TO industry
the money question, monOpO les,
trust, and the limitation OF the pO,
er Of corporations. The people served
notice in the last election OF their
dissatisfaction with existing cOndi-
tiOns. If the Democratic party is
not able to satisfy them it will be
hurled from power in 1896 as the Re-
publican was in 1892. ''There seems
to be hatred of the rich, and OF the
dwellers in cities, by those in the cOun-
try. If the Democratic party is not
able to satisfy this unrest, | look
for a complete political upheaval.
1t is because the Democrats will
not be able to satisfy the people that
] look for union Of all the cOnsery-
atiye forces Of all the present pOlit-
ical parties"

earn competent support. 1t has been
blessing to thousands and how Hoke
Smith can virtually annul the act. |
would like to know.
But it is said that fraud has been
practiced in the granting of pensions.
Very well, | admit that it has. Can
HOke Smith tell where the fraud lies
or who are receiving pensions unjustly
under the act Of June, 80 by an in
discriminate slaughter of pensions?
| am rather disposed to think he is
assuming powers not delegated to
him by the law. But this is not to
be wondered at when it is remember
ed that the Democrats, as a party,
are and have been bitterly opposed to
the law.
That there are frauds we will ad-
NIT, but there is a remedy. Let Sec
retary Smith, if he wishes to reform
the pension department, send a re-
quest or order to every G. A. K. post
in the United States to furnish him
with list Of names of those who are
able-bOdied men and who are draw
ing pension unjustly and do not
need it, and in this way he will soon
flpd all the frauds in the country.
Then let him cut off all such. The
G. A. r. will gladly render him all
the assistance in its power if he goes
at the matter in the right way.
| believe every old soldier, who is
in any manner disabled, having a pen
sion. He earned it in the army and a
just government will give it to him.
| hear of some men who say they are
tired paying taxes to help pension
the old soldier and that the govern
ment has done enough for him. Let
me ask you, my friend, where would
your country have been today had it
not been for the self-sacriflcing spirit
and suffering of the old soldier? And
just cut off the pension Of every old
soldier in Sumner county and see how
many thousand less there will be in
circulation.

EDITOR VOICE:-In the VOICE OF

At this time of awakening and

organization, especially one devoted
to reform. should voice this senti-
ment.

might be that they will set ingenious
