sented squarely? There are just two
questions involved in this contro-
versy. The first is that money does
not necessarily consist of any partic-
ulRr material. The stamp of the
government upon any material makes
it money. The highest Judicial tribu-
nal in the land has 80 declared, and
the Times, which pretends SO much
regard for the decisions of republi-
can courts, must accept this decision.
The second point is that SILVER

Cial value from that day to this is

Legislation depriving silver of its
equal privilege with gold before the
law is responsible for this decline, it
is unfair now for those who have
profted by this discrimination to ask
that the amount Of silver in the dol
lar shall be increased to compensate
for the decline which, without this,
Legislation would never have taken
place. These are the two PROPOSE
tions involved in this controversy.
The Times may evade them, as it
probably will, but the people under
stand them, and will not be deceived
by such senseless twaddle as it is now
indulging in upon this subject.

IT is getting to be somewhat dan
gerous for Peoples party papers to
encourage the circulation Of either
republican or democratic papers in
consequence of manifestation Of q
spirit of truthfulness and fairness
The st. Louis Republic has been for
some time that kind of paper, and
Peoples party papers have been ad-
Vsrtlsing it and encouraging its cir
culation. But a change has taken
place. The gold-bugs have throttled
it. Its editor, Mr.. Jones, has been
compelled to step down and out, and
those who have been induced to sub
scribe for the paper on account of its
former fairness are victimized. No
democratic or republican paper can
be fair and truthful and remain in
good standing with the powers that
be. It is-best to let them all alone.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN9

The following dispatch appeared
in the morning papers of the 18th:
ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, May 18,-The name of
Mr.. Charles H. Jones was taken from the
head Of the editorial page Of the st. Louis
Republic this morning, and henceforth Mr..
Charles W. Knapp, hitherto president and
publisher, will control the paper in all its
departments as president and general man
sger.
The change was made yesterday at ameeb-
ing Of the board of directors. Il is not yet
known what Editor Jones' plsns for the fu-
ture are, but it is understood that he still
holds his interest in the Republic.
Those who have followed the course
of the Republic for short time past
have not failed to observe its out
spoken condemnation of the financial
policy of the administration. Can 1t
be that this change and the suppress
sion of Mr.. Jones indicate change
in the policy of the paper? The
Kansas City Times was compelled to
fall in line and stultify itself but a
short time ago, and the probability is
the Republic is now to follow in it's
footsteps. We shall sea-

NOT AS MUCH OF A PIONIO AS EX-
PEOTED.
PE0TED,

Republican papers have been jubi-
lating for a few days past over the
supposed suppression of the Clay
Center Dispatch. Mr.. Vincent makes
a statement in the issue of May Is
which will somewhat dampen the
ardor of their ghoulish glee. 1t Is as
follows:
On Tuesday morning, with the sudden
ness Of thunder clap from a clear sky,
Sheriff Need, accompanied by Lawyers
Williams and Tuttle as body guards, en-
tered the Dispatch Office and levied an ex-
ecution on all contained therein. The
execution was to satisfy a judgment for
$6S8S2, which had been rendered against
John B. Park in the March term Of court in
favor of the Farmers and Merchants bank.
The judgment was for some old matters
concerning which there are various unset
tied questions, and which were never in any
way connected with the business Of the Dis
patch.
True, this was not the best means Of max
ing collection, as other interests besides
those of Mr.. Park we're jsopsrdized, but the
attorneys did the job with relish. The op-
portunity to close up an organ which had
emphatically and successfully opposed their
political faith and interests was too rare to
stop for trifles or TO enquire about other in
terests.
In very few hours arrangements were
made to place brand new printing office in
the town in order to get out this weeks is
sue; but this was rendered unnecessary
through the courtesy Of Mr.. Valentine, who
rendered the use of his Office.
The attempt to suppress the Dispatch, il
such it was, failed. The Dispatch will reach
it's readers just as usual. Our strange sp-
pesrsnce is due to the fact that the usual
and familiar dress of the Dispatch is under
the sheriff's tender care and is not get-at-
able at this writing, and furthermore il is
not as easy to get up paper in two days as
it is in week. These circumstances will
explain all discrepancies and omissions in
this weeks paper. A few more particulars
will be found in our local columns.

WHY THEY FAILRD.

A Washington dispatch of May 10
says:
Secretary Carlisle said this morning, in
speaking of the failure of 80 many national
banks, that the banks were evidently in bad
condition and failed of their own weight
without any connection whatever with the
financial condition of the country.
Certainly, the country is enjoying
an era of unprecedented prosperity;
money is abundant, and everything
is lovely. True, the dispatches have
stated that 'stringency of the money
market was the cause Of the failures,
but the bankers were probably mis-
taken. Carlisle says the financial
condition of the country has nothing
to do with 1t, and he must know of
course. Isn't he secretary of the
treasury?
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-05-24

or the Journal can hope to gain
nothing for their party by such a
gross misrepresentation as that
quoted above. Again, no greater
effort can be made under Cleveland's
administration to repeal the Sherman
act than was made under the Harri-
son administration by the last con-
gress.
The Times will have to try again
before it finds a difference in the
policy of the two parties. This effort
is dismal failure.

tion of prohibition gave Gov. Lewelling the
assurance of secrecy before obtaining from

Yes, the Capital so reported, and
that is prima facie evidence of the
falsshood of the report. We heard
the governor speak freely upon the
subject to the committee in the pres
ence Of several parties who were in
no wise connected with the commit
tee; and, Of course, were under no
obligation of secrecy. The Capital
is nothing if it is not a humbug.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-05-24
THE DIFFERENCE.

The Topeka ADVOCATE called upon the
Lesvenworth Times to point out the differ
enCe, if any, between the financial policy of
the present administration and the one pre-
ceeding it, and the Times says:
During Mr.. Clevelsnd's first term, he
asked congress, in three annual messages,
to stop tho coinage Of silver.
During Mr.. Harrison's term, bill was
passed doubling the coinage of silver, and
that bill was signed by President Harrison.
"During 80 much of Mr.. Cleveland's pres
emit administration as has passed, it has be-
come apparent that he will ask congress to
repeal this republican law, and will compel
IL if it can."
Really, there doesn't appear TO be very
much likeness between the two administra-
tions.-Lawrence Journal.
The Times says: "During Mr..
Cleveland's first term, he asked con-
gress in three annual messages to
stop the coinage of silver" and we
will add, Harrison's administration
stopped it. What must any rational
man think who will unblushingly
publish the statement that during
Mr.. Harrison's administration a bill
was passed doubling the coinage of
silvers Does he take his readers for
fools? Prior to the passage of the
Sherman act, the government was
compelled to coin $20O0000 per
month and had discretionary power
to coin &,OOO.0OO. 1t should be un-
derstOod, however, that this discre-
tionsry power was never exercised.
Both party administrations have ad-
hered to the gold-bug policy of
putting as little money in circulation
as possible. Under the Sherman bill
to which the Times refers, the coin
age Of silver was entirely stopped
after July l, 1891, and it has been re-
peatedly shown that the Sherman
act, carried into effect, simply re-
suited in the payment Of gold for sill
YER bullion, and locking up the
bullion IN the vaults Of the United
States treasury. Certainly the Times

Champion, says the government can max
q dollar Of 25 cents worth of silver, and cha
if ib should do so, this 25-oent dollar woul
purchase "just as much of any commodit
as a gold dollar" We are not surprise,
that the ADVOCATE that defended the Popu
list theory that ffty-eiRht was more thar
siXty-seVen, should argue that twenty-fiv
is equal to 100. But the fat money theory
like the fat house theory, was explode,
long ago, and TO discuss il now is waste O
valuable space. If the ADVOCATE believe
what it says, why does it net advocate thl

The ADVOCATE processes TO be fighting x

25-cent dollar would DO far less burdensomC
than the Bland dollar, and three or foul
times as many Of them could be made from
the same amount Of silver.-Leavenwortt
Times, May 10.
The above is an example Of the
most nonsensical pettifogging. With
out touching the questions at issue, il
seeks simply to throw dust in the
eyes Of the reader.
Referring TO the insinuation chat
the ADVOCATE defends the theory that
"fifty-eight is more than sixty-seven," !"
we have only to remark that this
smart expression is but another re-
publican mske-shift to avoid meeting
an issue squsrely. The ADVOCATE
holds that Bill Higgins certificates
do not count against the votes of the
people in the election of representa-
tives; and when the people have
another opportunity to express them
they will satisfy even the
Times that this theory is correct.
But this has nothing to do with
the point at issue. The ADVOCATE
holds that if the government should
put its stamp upon rs cents worth of
silver, declaring it to be a dollar, it
would be a dollar and would buy just
as much of any commodity as a gold
dollar. AS q proof Of this we refer
the Times to the greenback. It
contains not the smallest fractional
part Of a cents worth of what the
Times would recognize as intrinsic
value" and yet 1t will buy as much
OF any product or pay as much debt
or taxes as a gold dollar. The su-
preme court of the United States has
decided that congress is fully author
ICED by the constitution to COIN pa
per Into dollars and make those
dollars legal tender-equsl in all re-
spects to gold. These are the plain
facts, and the Times knows such to
be the case. In short, it is not the
amount or kind of material of which
money is composed, but the stamp of
the sovereign authority of the gov
ernment upon that material, that
makes money. Gold is not money,
and were it deprived of the privilege
of free coinage, as silver is, and
thrown upon the market solely as
commodity, its commercial value
