Down on the ooala Platform.
Topeka, Kan, June 4.-The publication
of letter from j. Sterling Morton, Sec
retary of Agriculture, to j. f. Lee,
prominent Kansas man who was active
in his denunciation of the Peoples party
and fusion last fall, has created a sensa-
tion regarding the coalition with the
populists and money question
Secretary Morton says: II
am opposed to all coalitions
which require the surrender of any prin-
ciple, economic or political | am against
the Sherman act, which compels the pur-
chase of silver to the amount of 1900 600
ounces per month, and am also opposed to
free coinage of the same silver at the
rate of 81 % an ounce when 1t sells
at the worlds market at S4 cents
an ounce. The money fallacies preached
by the populists from the Ocala platform
would, if embodied in legislation, destroy
our common country. Therefore, as a
patriot-one who lives for home and
family am opposed to all their vicious

perience, An entrance was easily ef-
fectcd. At lsraels suggestion, or rather
by his direction, a light was made by
burning paper against the wall on the
floor opposite the front of the safe. After
some time spent in the vain endeavor to
break into the safe, Israel gave up the
job and suggested that they all take what
they wanted and leave This they did,
leaving the fire they had kindled in tho
rear end of the store

A LEGITIMATE QUESTION.

We are becoming rather tired of
hearing so much said by the press
about the "New South" The old
South is ours Of cherished history.
1t is true that a new condition Of
affairs have arisen within the past
few years that require progressive
thought, keener apprehension, and
greater activity; but must the in
fusion of Yankee gold, energies,
and sentiments be credited for all
of this? It is a pertinent and legit-
innate question to ask, what might
the South have been had the Yam
kee never meddled with an institu-
ton thatdid not concern him? The
people Of the old South were Gull
tured, refined, and wealthy, and as
noble and high spirited people as
ever enjoyed the beneticent heaven.
What would the South have been
to-day had not her people been rob-
bed of property representing over
S400,000,000, and overrun and i'm
poverished by an invading army?
The widest flight of the magma
ton would not possibly conceive.
She would have already been to
what she is ending. And the "New
South" if such we must call it, owes
its present inspiration and power of
bringing into wonderful utilization
what it has inherited from the old.
1t is the spirit of the old living in
the new that will make and distin-
guish it at an early day as the rich
est and most beautifully blessed
country on the globe. This is moi
a picture Of the imagination, but
will soon be an acknowledged fact

HE SAME oLp FALsEHoop.

Mr.. MCKINLEY, the Republican
candidate for governor of Ohio, APP
pears not to have heard the result
Of the last November elections, and
he is still repeating the falsehood
that "a protective tariff is tax on
other people seeking a market in
this country and that "the foreign
er pays for the privilege of selling
here" If this be true, why did not
the Mckinley bill repeal all the di-
rect internal taxes, and place the
whole burden Of supporting the
Government upon the foreigners?
Instead Of stopping at one billion
dollars, why did not the Fifty first
(REED's) Congress spend two bill
lions? If "the foreigner pays the
duties" the more taxes we collect
the richer we are. Upon this theo-
ny the customs revenue is so much
money added to the wealth of the
country by foreign producers and
exporters. When uttered by this
discarded leader Of a defeated par
ty such political buncombe becomes
positively and absolutely silly.
The fact of the business is, the
march of the farmers of the coun-
try to the poor-house began shortly
after protection first vaulted into
the saddle, as the abandoned farms
of the New England States testify,
and the Mckinley bill is simply
making them step a little faster. II
has made possible the creation Of
great trusts, which have combined
to put up the prices Of their wares
to the highest possible notch, ant
deprived workingmen of employ
/ ment by shutting down hundreds
, of factories indefinitely; thus, b!
5 one act, wages have been depressed
and the cost of the actual necessa
ries of life have been increased.

Now, that the House rules are out
of the way Democratic leaders are
preparing to outline the policy Of
the party during the present ses-
sion. 1t is hardly probable that
the present week will develop any
important action by Congress. 1t
will take several days for the House
committees to prepare measures Of
Importance ready for action, and
there is apparently no indication
of the Senate coming to a vote on
the repeal bill this week. Most
likely the first act of the Demo
Gratis now will be to wipe off the
statute books Federal interference
with elections. The Republicans
will fight such a move vigorously,
but the Democrats are absolutely
harmonious on its removal, and no
doubt Davenportism will soon be a
thing of the past.

that he is permitted to remain there

stands greatly in need of, and which
it is necessary for him to receive
without interruption if he ever ex-
