IN EMEMBER, THERE WILL
~ be no reduction in the merit
IN or value of the goods we shall
offer; the reduction will refer to price
alone. We will, this coming month,
offer you better values for your
money than any house in this city.
Price, of course, enters largely
into the consideration of the pur-
chasing public, but price is not all
that the goods we shalt offer will have
10 recommend them. It is the COM
bination of excellence in the goods,
ard our prices which will interest an
appreciatiye public.
Watch our windows, watch our
newspaper announcements; per-
sonally inspect the goods offered in
our many departments, and you'll
find overwhelming testimony in the
shape of quality and price that money
spent with us in January will be
money saved.

We again rise to inquire why our
republican friends are not advertising
the great quadrangulsr debate as a
republican campaign documents The
sblest speaker in their party repre-
sented them in this debate, and GER
tsinly they ought to be proud of his
effort. Quite number of Peoples
party papers have run all of the
speeches in their columns, and Gen.
Weaver has published them all in
pamphlet form for Peoples party
campaign use. One entire edition
has already been sold and another is
on the press. If our republican
friends would like to secure them for
their approaching campaign the AD-
vooATE will supply them as soon as
the new edition is out Don't be
ashamed OF the defense of your party

That the republican porty is incom-

WEIGHTY,

We reproduce the following from
the editorial columns of the Kansas
City Times of June 28 as a fair SAM
pie of the argument that is offered in
opposition to equal suffrage. Itmust
be a ponderous intellect that will be
influenced by such rot, except to be
disgusted by it.
Woman suffrage still seems to be an issue
in Kansas and Missouri, judging from the
fact that the Chautauquas of these two
states have each devoted day to the ques-
tion. In Kansas the cause has the stronger
hold, evidently, for at the Ottawa assembly
no one appeared to combat the arguments
Of its champion. Down at Sedalia, how
ever, q horrid man was actually found to
deny tho allegations made BY the fair expo :
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-07-05

nent Of equal suffrage from Philadelphis.
And worse Yet, we are told that honOrS in
the debate were "easy." The success Of
this Missouri experiment may yet result in
q practical solution Of what is called che
windy woman question. When one of the
talkative creatures comes around loaded for
snh-sufragists, why not turn an equally
loquaoiOus and well-loaded man loose ON
herr This expedient would have the double
virtue Of ridding peacefully inclined people
Of bore and at the same time would fur
nish useful field Of operation for broken
down book agents, retired politicians, and
pettifogging lawyers.

IT now appears that the reported
organization of the farmers of Harper
and other southern counties to con-
troll prices of farm labor is another
republican fake. j. B. French, Sec
retary of the State Alliance, is in re-
ceipt of letter from the county
secretary Of Harper county saying
that no such meeting as that reported
has ever been held, and no such or
gsnization ever even thought Of. He
says the farmers and their hired
hands are getting along all right,
and this is wast troubles the republi-
cans. The story was started with the
hope of exciting jealousy, but it will
fail, as other fakes with a like pur-
pose have done. 1t is the beginning
of the new campaign of argument
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-07-05
THEIR DEVELMENT STILL COMES
TO LIGHT,

Tom Watson, IN the issue of the
Peoples PGrty Paper of June %,
shows how Horace Kenney, a mem
Der Of the democratic national COM
mlttee, and secretary and treasurer OF
the National Economist, is sending
out circulars in the south soliciting
subscriptions for the Economist and
for the American Industries, a dem
ocratic paper Of New York city, OF
which he is likewise secretary and
treasurer. The National Economist
circular, among other things, says:
"We send you a sample copy Of the Econ
Omist, the official organ Of the National
Farmers Alliance" etc. "It is not parti-
san paper, but adheres strictly TO the dOO-
trines as enunOiated by the Farmers
Alliance"
The following is taken from the
American Industries circular:
ave send you a sample copy Of the Amer
loan Industries" eto.
believing that the platform as enunCi-
ated by the democratic party afforded the
best security for the people, this journal
supported the democratic party during the
last campaign, and still supports it," etO.
1--WE call your attention especially TO the
Inducements from the democratic politi-
CLANS and labor men,"
Speaking of these circulars, Mr..
Watson says:
Upon our table, as We write, are two yell
low envelopes, Of precisely the same size,
directed to the same msn-"Frank VOight,
Box 50, Atlanta, Ga"
One of these twO envelopes has the printed
direction: "If not called for in ten days re-
turn to the National Economist, Washing
ton, D. c."
The other envelope has the printed direc
tion: "Return TO American Industries Co.,
ia Fifth avenue, New York."
Both these envelopes are pOstmarked with
the official stamp Of the government thus:
washington. D. G., May %, 1893. lip. M"
Both were mailed at the same place, at
the same hour, and directed by the same
hand, as the writing shows.
Opening these two envelopes, we find that
the Economist missive consists Of a circular
letter. stating that "Horace Kenney" is the
secretary and treasurer. . Opening
the other envelope we find circular letter
Of precisely the same size and color, but
purporting TO come from Fifth avenue,
New York." We find that Horace Ken
ney" is the treasurer Of the paper called
American Industries, published at ia Fifth
avenue, New York.
It will take more than three of q
kind to beat this pair in the hands of
Horace Kenney and the democratic
national committee.

upon q basis Of that kind and employ
ing the best financial ability in thu
land, in formulating the details o.
the new system.
The great trouble with this coun
try has been, and still is, that the peo
pie are partisans before they are pa
triots. There should be no party
strife in the ranks Of the people
When conspirators organize tc
plunder the masses, the masses should
organize to defeat their designs, and
there should be no partisanship in it
The system which has concentrated
five-eights Of the wealth of the coun.
try in the hands Of $1,000 people in
about quarter of century of time,
is a system of public plunder and
il should be oVerthrown. Will the
people diVest themselves Of their par
tisan prejudices and unite upon q
common sense platform long enough
to overthrow it, or will they continue
to worship the party idol while the
plunder of their substance still
goes on?
II is not the success of the Popu-
list party for which we plead. No
party on earth is 80 sacred that its
name should stand in the way of the
welfare of the people. 1t is the get
ting together of the masses whose in
terests are common and opposed to
the system Of plunder that has -four
ished so long that it is the important
thing. 1t matters not under what
name we rally, but let us open our
eyes to the condition that confronts
us; and, in behalf of our children, let
us not longer divide upon party lines
while pirates wreck our ship of state
for personal gain.
The stopping Of silver coinage in
India is but another step in the grand
conspiracy of robbery. When rightly
understood it does not materially
change the situation in this country.
There is no new cause Of alarm in it.
II is merely a new evidence Of what
has been apparent TO the careful OBJ
server for many years. II is only
another step towards the establish
ment Of a single standard system of
money throughout the world--s sys-
tenn by which usury fourishes and
industry perishes at all times. 1t is
the system of contraction under
which the ruins of the nations that
have preceded us lie buried. Shall
we follow in their footsteps, or shall
we rise above party idolstry long
enough to save the heritage of liberty
purchased for us by the blood Of the
fsthers9 This is the question that
confronts the American people to-
day.

ing of conscience. Populists have
insisted since their first advent upon
the political stage, that the financial
question is the chief issue before the
American people to-day, and have
made it the first plank in their plat
form. The two old political twins,
however, have insisted that the tariff
was the only thing needful to be
regulated, and have filed the eyes of
the people with tariff dust until they
could see nothing else. "Tsriff re-
form" (?) won in November, but the
tariff reformers have been SO tangled
up with the finance question that they
have not thought of the tariff since
the election. Meanwhile the tinan-
cial policy established by the repub-
lican party and adopted by its demo-
cratic successor has brought the
country to the verge of a preciplce,
from which all parties and all people
now shrink in terror. The party Of
protection to American labor" is
now beginning to realize its danger
of utter annihilRtion by the wrath Of
an outraged people, and q recogni-
tion of the true issues in politics is
beginning to be found necessary for
self-preserVation.
The Republican, in the editorial
referred to, says:
In our opinion the repeal Of the Sherman
law will not restore confidence or make
better times. It's repeal will not increase
the volume of money, but, rather, it will
reduce il. It is cOntraction-nOt expansion.
It is a drawing in-nob throwing out. Il is
harder times-not better times. To check
the downward tendency of business, what
should be donep Adopt a monetary sys-
tenn for this country independent of all
other nations.
This is a good common sense
American suggestion. While we
doubt il the repeal of the Sherman
law would either result in an expsn-
sion or contraction of our currency,
the proposition to establish an Amer
lean monetary system independent Of
all other nations is both practical and
rational. Had the republican party
adopted and adhered to this kind of
a monetary policy and kept itself
clear Of entsngling alliances with
corporations and public plunderers,
there would have been no Peoples
party to-day nor any need of one.
But the party has departed from those
rational principles and practices
and the editor of the Republican will
find himself without party if he adj
heres to such heresies unless he fees
to the Populist camp.
We may differ and differ honestly
concerning our theories OF money,
and concerning the details Of a COR
rect system of American finance, but
when republicans are ready to sc-
knowledge that the system which
their party has established and main
tanned is a vicious one, and that
radical change is necessary; when
