OUR PROSPERITY.

Governor Mckinley made a speech
at the Lincoln banquet of the Ohio
Republican League at Columbus,
February Ia, which may be consid-
cred as an obituary of the republican
party. He discourses learnedly of the
virtues of the deceased, and of the
legacy ofprosperity it has bequeathed
to it's successors. The following para
graph should be embalmed with the
corpse:
In few days the country passes into the
control of the democratic party, IN condi-
tion of matohless prosperity in every depart
ment of industry. We do not leave them a
legacy of hard times, idle industries, unpro-
duCtive enterprises and unemployed labor.
We turn over TO them country blessed with
unprecedented activity in every avenue of
human employment, with labor in active
demand and better paid than in all our his
tory before; a government with unpsr-
alleled resources and credit, and with
no stain upon it's honor. 1.-THE year 1892"
says Dun's Review of Trade, "hss been the
most prosperous ever known in business"
This is the non-psrtsan testimony of the
triumph of the revenue and financial poll
cies of the republican party.

THE WORK OF THE PENSION DE-
PARTMGNT BLOCKED.

While in Washington a few days
ago we were told by a member of
congress from one Of the southern
states that he recently received some
papers from the widow Of a union SOL
dier now residing IN his district re-
lating to her pension claim now
pending; and that the papers were
accompanied by personal letter urg-
ing that he should give the claim his
immediate attention, as she was in
urgent need of money. He at once
went to the pension department to
see what could be done.
A clerk in the office told him that
all papers, claims and documents had
been filed away and that business
was entirely suspended in the depart
ment until after the Inauguration
ceremonies shall be concluded. The
pension building was being deco
rated for the grand inaugural ball.
This required from ten to fifteen
days prior to that very important
event and it will require some time
after it's conclusion to remove the
decorations and restore the building
to condition to permit the resump-
ton of business. The business Of
this entire department is thus sus-
pended, widows and orphan children

publican house stand Ioff the Pops when the
"war" broke out, is just an ordinary lie
not word of truth in it. But the Pop pa
pers stick to it just the same, aud it will be
made to do the work of an absolute truth

'honest party" of reformers. - Howard

The Beacon predicted at the time the re-
publican mob made its attack on the state
house that in less than two years the Kansas
corporation republican papers would be de-
nying that B. B. Weloh called on the Santa
Fe railroad'for help. And now here comes
the Howard Courant in less time than
month trying to lie out of it.--Wichita Bea-
con, March,,
This is not the only part of the re-
cent transactions in Topeka that the
corporation papers will deny in the
near future. They will wish before
two years have passed that they
could blot out their whole record,
that of the decision of the corporation
court with the balance of it.

of deceased soldiers and the manned
and disabled veterans themselves,
who are many of them absolutely suf-
fering for the necessities, not to men
tion the comforts of life, are thus
compelled to wait the adjustment and
even the hearing of their claims in
order that the pension Office may be
decorated for a grand inaugural ball
to which the dudes and dudeses of
Washington high life and the Goldfish
aristocracy of America will alone
hold tickets of admission. To such
depths has Jeffersonian simplicity
descended in these latter days.

THE WHY OF IT.

There is considerable discussion in
the columns of the press concerning
the selection of Mr.. Gresham as q
member of Mr.. Clevelsnd's cabinet.
It seems difficult for democrats, es-
pecially western democrats, to under
stand the motiye of it. Is it not just
possible that this is a step toward the
new party alignment by which the
plutocratic elements of the two great
parties are to be solidlfed against the
great movement of the people? In
order that plutocracy may make re-
spectacle showing of str sngth after
four more years of Wall street rule,
such consolidation is an absolute
necessity; and, as beginning of the
process, it was essential that the new
administration should give some sub
stantial recognition to the republican
wing of the Wall street party.
Upon the bench, Mr.. Gresham has
been, as a rule, an honorable Judge,
but those who have watched his
course most carefully land among
these are attorneys who have prac-
ticed in his COURT are free to declare
that whenever the interests of capital
and labor have come in conflict, cspi-
tai has always received the verdict
We were not among those who ia
vored his nomination at Omaha. We
believed then, as we do now, that it
would have Deen the worst mistake
that could have been made. The
sequel proves it. Mr., Gresham has
drifted into his proper sphere, and
Will undoubtedly contribute all the
weight of his influence to the consoli-
dation Of forces necessary to enable
plutocrscy to make another national
campaign against the people.

the absolutely inadequate supply Of
metallic money, which shall be amply
sufficient for the demands of COM
merce.
We must also have a system of
postal savings banks, where money
may be deposited with some degree
of safety, and where exchanges may
be effected without robbery. The
Peoples party proposes to move for
ward and not backward, and the Netus
may be assured that, SO long as it has
an existence, it will never surrender
its demands upon the questions of
land, transportation, finance and the
means of communication for any
single issue whatever.

PROGRESS TOWARDS NATIONALIsM.

Both branches of the city council
of Philadelphia have unanimously
passed resolutions asking congress to
provide for the ownership and opera
ton of the telegraph and telephone
systems of the United States by the
government. Thus men who have
not been in sympathy with the Peo-
ple's party movement are led by
actual knowledge of the abuses of
corporate privilege to recommend
the only 6ffectual remedy, and in
doing 80 they are unconsciously step
ping upon our platform. Such things
constitute the most hopeful signs of
the times

ANOTHER FRIEND OF THE FARMER.

ANOTHER FRIEND OF THE FARMER.
The following purported interview
with J. Sterling Morton, the new Sec
retary of agriculture, is an early In
dication of his solicitude for the
welfare of the dear farmer:
1 am opposed to the Hatch anti-option
bill. What the farmers Of this country need
most is protection from some of their al
legged friends. The farmers need a change
in some Of their ideas, and they would be
materially benefited by certain kind Of
education. It is generally said and believed
that the farmers are the instigators and sup.
porters Of the Hatch anti-option bill. In
my opinion they should be it's most vigorous
opponents. The produce exchanges and the
boards Of trade which this bill is intended
to destroy, are Of the greatest advantage to
the producers Of grain.
It may be observed that this new
statesman who parts his name IN the
middle agrees perfectly with the
grain gamblers themselves in his es-
innate Of the anti-option bill and the
ground of opposition to it. They all
oppose its passage because it would
hurt the poor farmers. The farmers
will place the proper estimate upon
this purely unselfsh msgnsminity.
Senator Vest opposed the bill for
another reason because, as he says, it
is unconstitutional. This is the
stereotyped objection to whatever
may be proposed for the relief of sg-
riCulture. A correspondent writing
to the Journal of Agriculture con-
cerning Senator Vests objection says:
ltmay be unconstitutional to prohibit any
one from buying aud selling "wind," but
let them call it wind and not wheat, corn or
pork.
In parliamentary parlance we con-
slider the point of thus correspondent
we'll taken. The snti-option bill may
not be all that it should be, but the
bitter opposition it has encountered
from the thieves and gamblers them
selves leads to the suspicion that their
entire solioitude concerning it does
not arise from pure, uRalloyed sympa-
thy with the dear farmer.
Senators and members of congress,
of course, are governed BY the high
and patriotic motive of regard for the
sacred preservation of the constitu-
tion, and while they sympathize with
the farmer equally with. the secretary
of agriculture and his friends in the
bucket-shops, they place their opposi-
tion to measures of this character
upon the higher ground of constitu-
tionality. The farmers in the mean
time have the sympathy, while the
statesmen have the constitution, and
the thieves continue to reap the
profits on the products of the farm.

themselves about the necessity of reform
within the psrty.-LawrenOe Journal.
Wehear no talk of that kind among
leading republicans. That party has
become so rotten that reform is impos-
sible and 1t is never even thought OF.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-03-15
IT WILL NOT WORK.

present opportunity ''of centering all
it's force upon the single point OF
doubling the metallic basis of our Cir
culating medium" This is not the
first suggestion we have seen OF this
character, and we may as well have
an understanding upon this subject
now as to postpone it to later
period.
There are several doctrines of the
Peoples party that are considered
fundamental, and one Of these is that
we want no metallic basis for money,
whether it be mono-metallic or bi-
metallic. We demand that every
dollar in circulation in the United
States shall be equal before the law
to every other dollar, without regard
to the material Of which it is COM
posed; and it needs no other basis
than the exhaustless resources of the
country and the national credit.
Aside from this, we have other de-
mands which were not made for mere
diversion. They were Incorporated
in our platforms because they are
right, and they will not be abandoned
at the dictation of parties who seem
to have but single idea in this con-
test. We favor tree coinage among
other things, because it is right that
silver should be placed upon an
equality with gold, but the Neros may
be assured that the Peoples party
will never even consider the PROPOSE
ton to drop the other demands and
make a contest upon this issue alone.
The silver states can never succeed
in the restoration of silver except
through party which is favorable to
1t. They are not big enough alone
to accomplish anything, and If they
ever expect to secure free coinage OF
silver in this country they may as well
face the situation and recognize that
there are other sections in this coun-
try besides the silver states, and other
interests besides silver mining. The
agricultural states could get along
very we'll without either gold or sill
YER if they were given plenty of pa
per money, and we desire here and
now to remind those whose chief per-
sonal interest is centered in silver
mining that they are pursuing very
short.sighted policy when they even
suggest the abandonment of the de-
mands for justice to other sections
and other interests in order to con-
centrste attention upon their own.
Silver and gold bullion are pro-
duced by a very small part of the
population of this country. The free
coinage of it by the government con-
verts 1t into money in their hands.
Unless there is, in addition to this
metallic money, a large volume OF pa
per money supplied directly by the
government without the requirement
of tribute to individuals or corpora
tions as a condition of its issue, those
