Free Silver.

Anderson, Indiana, Herald: "a free
coinage convention is called to meet at
Topeka, Kansas. If there is any place
outside OF the silver mining states,
where that exploded heresy could ex-
pect to muster some support, it would
be in the grasshopper state"
Attica Tribune: "This NAV be true.
1t is also true that Indiana is the only
state having thirty-three bank failures
in one day, and whose poor houses are
not large enough to accommodate her
paupers; it is also true that Anderson
is the only place where men, out of en-
ployment, are whipped into the river i'm
mid winter. More of this despised sill

governor would not now be under in

the pockets of your people, and you
would have fewer of your poor to drive
from your city, because of your finan-
cial inability to care for them; more of
1T in the treasury of one of your largest
manufacturing concerns, and it would
not now be in the hands of a receiver,
and its employees 'whistling' for their
wages; more of it IN the county treas
ury, and Treasurer Paige would be

The way eastern papers stand up for
gold-b basis and contraction, reminds US
of the story about the poor Londoner,
who lived by lilching garbage fgom the
swill barrels in the alleys. And as the
royal procession went by, with some
half decayed vegetables in one hand,
and a ragged hat in the other, he
shouted, God save the Queen So
with decaylng prosperity on every hand,
the wiseacre papers of the east, are
shouting, God save the Queen, trans
posed into American, "God save the
goldbasls," Of which basis. England
has an absolute monOuOIy.

An Anti.Onfinn Case.

Rural World: Let us take COZ

to come very close home. There was a
banquet given a while ago, at Brooklyn,
in honor of S. V. White, formerly a
deacon of Plymouth church, and re-
Gently, we believe, chosen member of
the executive committee of that church
1t was distinguished company which
gathered about the table. Secretary
Tracy was there, and Rev. DIR. Beh
rends, and congressman or two, and
many other dignitaries of church and
state. The occasion was in recognition
of the fact that MIR. White had paid his
debts, and that voluntarily. Mr.. White,
1t will be remembered. attempted to
corner the corn market of the country,
a year or more ago, in open violation of
the common law of about every civil
lied nation OH earth. He failed in the
attempt, and besides sinking a fortune
said to have run above 81 ,0OO, 900 or so,
also contracted claims against himself
of nearly Sl.00O,O00 more. His cred
ltors, trusting to his honor, released all
legal claims against him, and White
went to work to reeoup his fortunes.
He succeed so well that within year
and quarter he had earned 81 ,OOO, 900
or more, or enough to pay his debts and
leave, as is said, comfortable fortune
in balance Tor himself.

BrOderick Redeeming the Republican
Party.

1t is not often we have an opportuni-
ty to brag on republican congressman.
They so frequently stand on one plat
form and vote on another. But it is
with pleasure we find man among
their leaders, who is true to the plat
form he ran on. We believe that Hon.
Case Broderick deserves honorable
mention. Following are his words:
THE fight is on and will doubtless
continue for four years or more. lam
surprised that so many republican
papers in Kansas, and leaders ia our
party, are 30 Jealous in persuading
everybody to agree with Mr.. Cleveland's
financial policy. If we cannot Join is
sue on the money question, what have
we to enthuse the young men of Kansas
next year? OF course the republicans
will favor protection, but we cannot 90
out in the state and make successful
campaign on that alone. We must
favor bi-metalism. BY the continued
use of silver, gold may go to premium
of few cents, but by striking silver
down. gold would certainly reach and
continue at a premium of 40 cents. l
am convinced that there is not gold
enough in the world to do the worlds
business, and am in favor of both gold
and silver, with paper notes based
thereon. Am opposed to striking out
either metal, or to reducing the circu-
latiCn, bnt believe that the circulation
should be increased.
ut is strange how easily some people
are misled by sophistry. This talk
about the 3d. cent dollar has turned the
heads of some. The silver dollar and
silver certificates are legal tender and
good for a hundred cents on the dollar
all over the country. If we have no
silver we would have to pay other
nations balance due them, in gold, and
If the balance of trade continued against
us, we would, in time, be without any
money. | cannot see how demonetiz.
ing silver will prevent the gold from
going out, while we are in debt to other
| nations.
81 do not write this to instruct you
on the subject, but started only to say
that think our friends are making a
mistake. Whatever the politicians
may say or do, am sure that the mas
ses of people in Kansas, do not agree
with the extreme eastern idea of

THE MARQUIS De LAFAYEr1r.
Foremost In Promoting Friendly Relations
RefrzeaI. A1zaaxica

Foremost In Promoting Friendly Relations
Between America and France.
The most conspicuous friend Of Amer
lea during the war of the revolution
was the Marquis de Lafayette, who,
though he belonged to one of the Oldest
families of France, came to help the
colonies in their struggle for independ-
ence and republican government by
fighting for them. He was a warm
friend of Gen. Washington, who had
strong affection for the young French
man, and when Lafayette visited the
United States, nearly fifty years after
the revolution, he was received with
greater honors than have ever been
paid by the American people to any
other foreigner. 1t is pleasant to know
that Lafayette is still regarded with
admiration, and that on decoration
day about five hundred Americans who
were in Paris went out to his tomb to
lay flowers upon it. A representative
of Lafayette post, of the Grand Army
address, to which grandson of the
general responded, referring to the
fidelity with which Americans have
honored the memory of his great an
cestor. The people of America and of
France have always been on the friend
hest terms, and it is probably true that
three or four persons on either side
have done as much to promote that in
ternational friendship as all the other
people put together. Among these,
Gen. Lafayette stands easily first

Fusion,

w. G. Afford has addressed us a
somewhat open letter warning us Of
the rocky road an anti-fusiOn populist
has to travel, and asking if we will sup
port fusion ticket this fall when it is
put up. 10 Brother Afford we would
say we respect his opinions and advice
because we believe he was one of the
few stalwarts who were sincere. But
we will never be called on to support
fusion IN Barber county, that is, so far
as populists are concerned. There are
some things political ringsters cannot
do. And one Of these is to force on to
the populIst masses something they do
not want. Rings have not as yet
gained sufficient foothold in the popu-
list party to deliver the goods.
Politicians, as such, are towards
They keep their fingers always on the
popular pulse, and change their plans
and principles as this pulse changes it's
beat. BY the time the populist conven-
tion meets, Brother Afford, you will
find there will not be a corporals guard
of fusionists. The people are already
expressing themselves in no uncertain
tones. Those who wanted an even
whack-up on the ticket a few months
ago, with democrat for sheriff, have
since become convinced that all they
want is fusion democrat who will en-
dorse the populist demands, and now
they merely want a populist who is ac-
ceptible to democrats and when con-
ventiOn meets and the people speak,
they will declare they never thought it
necessary to divide the offices; they
never wanted hypocTitical democrat
for sheriff or luke-warm populist.
These same fellows will understand
the popular pulse we'll enough to say
with their mouths straIght-out pOpu-
list is good enough for them. Politi-
clans, as such, are towards. They
cannot control the populist party, and
while Editor Beals may suffer their
displeasure, the people will stand by
our demands regardless of politicians.
AS we have no political favors to ask,
we crouch to no politicians, and ac-
knowledge no leaders but principle and
the people.

The only practical politics for the
people, is that which enacts and ex-
ecutes good laws. The only practical
politics for the politician is that which
makes firm and fast the political pull,
the Offices and the patronage. What ia
practical politics for the people, is often
decidedly impractical for the politicians.

Colorado is, to use classical express

troyed. If il is true that the United
States is unable to carry out its govern
mental policy without the dictatiop of
consent of foreign powers; if we are
province of European monarchies, then
we need another revolution, another
appeal to arms, and we haye won that
battle. il war is forced upon US we
will send to Halifax a far greater army

ulation than our forefathers sent there

Corner Stone: 80 years ago the goY-
ernor of Michigan received an annual
salary of 81 900. Wheat sold at $500
per bushel, consequently it required
only 1894 bushels of this wheat TO pay
this salary. To-day the governor of
Michigan receives a salary of $4,000,
wheat sells at 90 cents per bushel; had
had the governors salary remained at
81 900, it would now require ,53S bush
els to pay him for twelve months serv-
ice, but as wheat and all kinds of pro-
duce have been going down, govern
ment salaries have been going up, and
to pay the governors of $4,000 with
wheat at present price, will require
6,l5i bushels, or lSs times as many
bushels as it took to pay Gov. Blair's
salary thirty years ago. Is it because
the farmer hes been extravaganza or be-
cause he has been robbed, that he has
been brought to his present condition
