THE SLATE OF TRADE Is so POOR IN EUROPEAN
COUNTRIES, AND POVERTY IS so RAPIDLY ON
THE INCREASE THERE, THAT THOSE COUNTRIES
HAVE NOT THE MEANS WITH WHICH TO PUR-
CHASE OUR FOOD PRODUCTS.
Notwithstanding the renewed confidence
which the members of the administration
have had that our exports would increase
and gold exports would diminish, the gold
exports this week have been nearly half as
large as the balance of free gold in the
treasury. If such a condition shall long
continue, Mr.. Carlisle will be exsctly y where
Secretary Foster was eight week ago.
The above appears in the dispatches
to the daily papers. 1t exhibits an
other long range telescope view of
poverty, and points out one Of its con-
sequences. The fact is entirely over
looked, however, that if conditions
were such in America that our own
people were able to procure enough
to eat we should not have a pound of
surplus food products left for export.
The poverty and hunger in our own
country are too near home to be seen
by certain classes of the American
people, who are in the habit Of look
ing abroad for every evil that afflicts
humanity.

The Doodle Investigation.

To save expense the senate committee
held session in Kansas City last week
and heard the testimony of a number Of
witnesses, policy shop men, lawyers,
newspaper men and politicians. Bur-
gard, the Wyandotte representative who
was 80 anxious to be heard, was out Of
sight as was also Pete Kline, the boss
gambler. Ex-senator Buchsn disputed
that part Of Legate's statement which
referred to him, but on the whole there
was no real evidence brought out The
committee adjourned to meet at the call
Of the chairman.
On Friday following the committee
received the following:
"Peter w. Kline, being duly sworn
upon his oath, says that he is the identi-
cal person WOO has been frequently men,
toned in connection with the subject
matter now being Investigated by the
committee appointed by the Kansas
state senate, and the affiant says that in
truth and in fact he did not during the

into an agreement or other arrangement
with Governor L. D. Lewelling, Attorney

The Red Elephant.


The above is the familiar name of one
Of the most reliable binding twines man
ufactured. It's good qualities are vouched
for by the supreme council, Patrons of
Husbandry, the state grange Of Illinois,
the Indsans f. M. B. A. and hundreds Of
sub alliances throughout the country.
Following is an example Of its endorse

GENTLEMEN:-It gives me great pleas
ure to advise you of the general satisfac-
tion given by the Red Elephant Twine
to those Of our organization who used it
during the past season. This is not only
evidenced by scores Of letters Of COM
mendation which l have received, but
also by the resolutions Of endorsement
passed by the state and general assem-
blies. The farmers, as q rule, are not
slow to see the great benefit your insti-
luton mas been TO them and express
their determination to sustain you in
your effort to manufacture and sell twin0
at reasonable profit independent Of any
trust or combine. / should be pleased
If every member of our order could see
that not only his present but his future
interest demands that he lose no oppor-
tunity to deal blow at the twine trust.
This can be done in the most effective
way by refusing to use it's twine made
ofimported fibre and using only the Red
Elephant Twine made from hemp grown
on the prairies Of Illinois. With best
wishes for your prosperity, am, yours

POVERTY MARCHING ON.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-The advance
sheets of the report Of the chief of the bu-
reau of statistics on the export Of bread
stuffS for the nine months which ended
March 81, shows how very much the bal
anoe of trade is against the United States.
For the month which ended March 81, the
exports Of breadstuffs were only $40, ,407, 1873,
as against $77,17O,719 in the month of
March 1892.
The total exports for the nine months
which ended March 81, 1893, were only $145,-
0S2766, as against 1928, ,159, ,912 for the same
period of last year.
The exports of corn fell off for the nine
months ending March 81, from $31, go, ,934
in 1892, to $13,645, ,5S8 in 1893.
The exports of wheat for the nine months
period ending March 81, 1892, in value
amounted to $3.50, 27S, 1868, while for the nine
months period which has just ended the ex-
ports of wheat fell to 81, 1885,, ,499.
The chief of the bureau of statistics said
that the showing for last month was worse
than for any time during the last four years,
since he had been at the head Of the bureau.
The amount Of the balance Of trade against
this country is startling. Major Brook,
chief OF the bureau of statistics, attributes
this cause In great measure 10 the fact that
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-04-19

Of money or other valuable thing, the
appointment Of police commissioners for
Kansas City, Kan, was to be influenced
or controlled, or legislation of any char
acter whatsoever prevented; that the
sffiant was and is now an utter stranger
to said gentlemen; that afisnt has never
met or known the aforesaid gentlemen
before or during the session Of the legis-
lature aforesaid, excepting aforesaid
Close and then only upon one occasion,
and then not to exceed five minutes in
duration; and the affiRnt says that upon
the occasion aforesaid the conversation
had no reference whatever to the Rp-
pointment Of police commissioners, nor
to influencing or corrupting legislation
nor the payment Of any money to any
person for any purpose whatsoever; and
the afiisnt says that he at no time or
place, either in person or through or by
any person, authorized to do, speak, act
for him, pay, deliver or turn over to said
Governor Lewelling, Little or Close, or
either Of them, any money, promise or
other valuable thing or commodity fOr

THE DEMANDS,

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-The franklin County
Alliance, at the regular April meeting,
passed the following resolutions:
Resolved, That we endorse the sentiment
expressed in the demands recommended by
the National Wstchman in an able editorial
Of March %, 1893, which were as follows:
ave demand the free and unlimited coin
age Of gold and silver at the present ratio
Of 16 to 1. We demand that this amount Of
gold and silver shall be supplemented with
a full legal tender paper money in sufficient
volume TO maintain equitable prices. We
demand that all money shall be issued by
the government direct to the people, and
that all money 30 issued shall be full legal
tender for all debts, private or public"

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,,
WASHINGTON, D. G., March 18, 1893.

Mr.. j. A. StuLts, MertiLLG, KdS.:
DEAR SIR-Your letter of March 18th with
enclosed clipping received. viii say in re-
ply that I have not time to reply to all the
lies that appear in the republican papers. If
I attempted it, my tine would be wholly
taken up, and then wouldn't get around to
all Of them.
Now, in regard to my vote against the
anti-option bill, 1 have no explanations to
make to the republican party. voted
against the bill because believe it was very
bad legislation. Il was not bill to prevent
the dealing in futures, but in every respect
a bill to enable few rich capitalists to get
together and control the grain market of
this country. l firmly believe if the bill had
passed that it would come back to have
cursed every man that voted for it; it would
have worked great injury to the farmers,
because it would enable the millers' COM
bine in this great country to build one Of
the greatest trusts that ever had been
formed in country.
The trouble with the farmers is they have
been used too long and too many times as
the oats paw to pull the chestnuts out Of
the FIRE by the monopolists. This was
another attempt on their part.
am willing TO stand by my vote on that
bill, knowing, as 1 do, that in the future,
when truth gets hearing, will be fully
vindicated.
Il is a little singular, that these people
that talk about selling out TO Wall street
were the only ones represented here by
lobby. There was plenty of money TO carry
the bill but none for its defeat. Yours
truly, JERRY SIMPSON.

as FAR as they go, but they do not go
far enough. No party will ever
achieve permanent success on 80 mar
row a basis. We agree that it is not
necessary to cover every proposition
of reform in political platform, but
there are certain things which are
essential and cannot be omitted with
impunity. Transportation, govern
ment savings banks, and everlasting
sntagonism to plutocracy and cspi-
tslism, and the means they employ to
control parties and rob the people
are among these essentials, and any
effort to narrow the platform to the
lines indicated will, in our judgment,
be unavaihng.

AS to the charges made by Major Hud-
son, they were proved against Legste; or
rather, he confessed more evil than was
charged. Against Private Secretary
Close and Attorney General Little moth
ing was plainly shown. Upon the re-
opening Of the inquiry the web may be
drawn around them, as it was around
Legate, but they hsYe not been impli-
Gated yet. The investigation made plain
one valuable fact: That those who
leave the republican party for high
moral reasons are usually good subjects
for detectives.-Topeka correspondence

HOW IS THIs FOR A CONeREssMAN2

HOW Is THIS FOR A OONGREssMAN9
The Hon. ]. @. Sibley, recently
elected to congress by the Peoples
party of northwestern Pennsylvania,
evidently believes that the peoples
movement is based upon intelligence
and upon knowledge, and that it will
thrive by an increase of facilities Of
information. He has recently written
the following letter to his constituents:
FRANK1N, Pa, March 80, 1893.
To The GrdngerS, Alliances, and Labor Unions Of
Erie and Crawford Counties:
Not having accepted the nomination and
an election to congress as your representa-
tive for my financial betterment, or know
iDgly for the advancement of any selfish
ends, but with an earnest desire, so far as
possible, to aid in the institution of such re-
forms as seem to be imperatively demanded
for the protection of your interests with
all good citizens; therefore, permit me to
most respectfully submit the following for
your consideration.
If this is to be "a a government of the peo-
pie, by the people, and for the people," or
if we are TO have such eDjoyments of the
fruits Of liberty as under the constitution
are guaranteed alike to all classes of citizen
ship, without distinction, such rights and
privileges can best be maintained and
guarded by the diffusion of intelligence,
and through concert and harmony Of action.
Permit me to most respectfully return TO
you such sum which you, as representatives
of labor, have chiefly contributed to the
government to provide for my salary for
the two years for which am elected, which
salary is payable monthly, and for two
years aggregates the sum Of $4,000, Of
which amount the sergeant-at-arms of con-
gress will pay to the proper persons to be
designated by the oranges of Erie and
Crawford counties the sum Of 81, 900 for the
erection and equipment of building to be
located at Cory, Pa, for the general
Offices Of the oranges of western Pennsyl-
vania, and for their general business meet
ings, and for such other uses as may seem
proper; to the Farmers Alliance of Erie
county, $1,000; to the Farmers Alliance Of
Crawford county, $4,000; to be divided
equally among the Alliances of each county
for the purpose of books, papers, music,
lectures, or such other purposes as each
local Alliance may eleot to the labor and
trades unions of Crawford county, and
other unions which represent organized la
Dor, to be divided equally between each
lodge or organization the sum Of 81, 900; to
the labor and trades unions of Erie county,
and other unions which represent organ
lied labor, the sum of $1,000, to be divided
equally between each lodge or organization,
these sums to be used for lectures, papers,
periodicals, and kindred purposes of an ed
vocational and social nature, as each local
union may elect. Respectfully submitted,
