Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1893-08-24

A familiar way of expressing the
coinage relation between gold and
silver is l6 to l. We have never
felt called to explain what it means
until last Tuesday. A prominent
Republican leader of Reno county,
in discussion with Populist upon
upon the street, gave it out that it
meant where one dollar in gold is
coined, sixteen dollars in silver are
coined. Now, we beg pardon of
our readers for taking the time to
explain that "16 to l" means that
one silver dollar weighs as much as
sixteen gold dollars. The PROPOSE
ton of making the ratio 20 to l
means that the silver dollar is to be
made weigh as much as twenty gold
dollars. There are probably thou
sand Republicans in the county who
have the same idea that this leader
had, and it is for their benefit that
we publish this. We hope this is
apology enough for occupying your
time.-Hutchinson Gazette.

Cleveland has gone back to Buzz
Yards Bay to resume his fishing.
He expects to remain until Septem-
Der. The fish were SO anxious to
be caught that Grover felt it his SOL
emn duty to go. He does not care
what becomes of the country so
long as he can get enough of "bait"
and catch his little fish. Then he
has plenty of time to sleep of the
effects, as his recent record of thirty
hours sleep at stretch proves

CLEVELAND is playing game he
is bound to lose. He has thrown
all his influence to the gold-bugs,
and that act exposed, thus early in
the struggle with the money power,
his ianus-faced dealings with the
people. The people are justified in
impugning his motives. AS can
didate, he was pledged to the sup
port of free silver. When the bal
lots were cast, the crisis was passed;
then he unmasked, and his real
character became known. 1t is a
game that won't win. The people
want honest men. Double-dealing
is cowardly dishonesty.

/, ton of wealth, and prosperity has
been restored, and confidence is on
the ascendancy, then will come an
other panic, and fortunes will be
swept away, as in the past, and it
will be the same old crowd that
rakes in the pot.
Panics are just as much crop of
the sowing of the gold-bugs az corn
is crop of the sowing of the hus-
bandman, and Satan is just as much
the presiding genius of the Roths-
childs as the good and wise Being
causes the sun to shine and the rain
to fall and water the corn of the
husbandman.

The meanness of political papers
of certain stripe is too utterly low
for the internal regions. No lie is
too black or improbable to be pub
lished when it hoped to serve parti-
san ends; and is it any wonder, in
view of what appears in newspapers,
that voters of different parties look
upon one another as implacable ene-
mics I? There is something wrong
with any party that resorts to lies
to build it's organization. Any man,
party or newspaper that is right can
afford to be truthful, and a resort to
falsehood is prima facie evidence OF
an attempt to cover wickedness, or
of idiotic ignorance.

GOLD BUG Republican editors are
fairly tumbling over one another in
their haste to slobber over Cleve-
land for his gold-standard message.
A year ago, he was to them the
representative of all that was vile
and uncouth-one that could not be
safely twisted to administer the
laws of this nation. Now that he
has gone wholly back on the pledges
he gave the people in the cam
paign of '82, they are crying out
with one voice "Great is Diana of

The Leavenworth Dimes, Dayton

loss to give him praise. To them
he is one of the grandees of earth.

people have more of than another
it is confidence and yet, the peopl
are exhorted by the old-party paper
to acquire still more of that over
supplied mental article. The Who'll
thing reminds us very much Of tn
time in Kansas when the farmer
first complained of low prices, an
were exhorted by the same class @
papers to "stay at home and xii
weeds and raise more corn" Tn
more corn the farmers raised, tn,
less money; and now, the NOR
confidence, the less substance.
These wise men who edit the Wal
street papers are philosophers of {
new type, in which is taught: thu
more and greater the calamity, the
more carefully it should be fosteret
in order to be rid of it.
Horse-thieves do not beget conf
dence in property, in horses, but
on the contrary, it always seems te
have the opposite effect but, wher
there comes great panic, and for
tunes are swept away in day, and
the values of all things. compared
with money, go tumbling to the
point of no sale at any price, then
the great philosophers advise people
to Just have confidence, and all will
be we'll. To us. it is very much
like recommending a cholera patient
to hang onto his vitals after the dis.
ease had Slapped his life. But, we
are not great philosopher, and we
can comprehend how confidence
will restore lost fortune, or make
fifty cents go as far as one dollar,
or give tramps employment when
there is no work to be had.
Of course, confidence Is all right
when it is not misplaced. Conf
dence in the sun shining, the rain
falling and the fertility of the soil
inspires the husbandman with hope,
but he is often cast down into the
depths of despair at the prices he
receives for what God and he Great
ed. A business man has confidence
when he has plenty of paying Gus
toners for his wares, and the pro-
fessional man when he is patronized,
but the lack of these things not
only breeds distrust, but bankrupt
cy, and confidence, in no single
case, has ever been known to pro-
duce customers or patronage.
We are not great philosopher,
like the confidence fellows, but we
venture the humble opinion that the
people are, or were, over-stocked
with confidence, and had to unload
at a dead loss, and it will be no
manner of use to bull the market
until the old supply is disposed of.

IT Is really humiliating that we
have so many citizens, native born
calling themselves Americans
who manifest 80 much concern
about the good opinion of England
and other European monarchies, and
harp so much about "the money OF
the world" There is no such thing
as "money of the world" In the
exchange of coin for the products
of any other nation, they are thrown
into the scales and weighed, and re-
ceived as 80 much bullion, at its
market value We have great
reason to believe the phrase is used
to deceive and mystify. THERE is
NO MONEY OF THE WORLD.

Iarpe Fire in Bristol.

BRISTOL, April 12.-Fire broke out at 8:15 o'clock thls morning in the two story frame factory building owned and occupied by Clayton Brothers, manu- lecturers of steel and iron shears and leather washers. The building was located quite distance out of the town and consequently the fire department was slow in getting water on the fire. The result was that the factory was completely destroyed. Only few hun dred of the cheaper grade of shears were saved. The building was 100 feet long, fifty feet wide and contained two stories and basement. Thirty hands were employed. The loss, which is esti- mated at about $S, 900, is covered by in- surance. The origin is not known. The factory will be rebuilt.
