nish the libelous reports to the daily
press represent them always as q
rlotous gang of outlaws requiring all
the power of the civil authorities
supplemented by armed guards to re-
strain them from violence.
But this is not all. No public
meeting where the questions of the
hour are discussed can get an honest
or a fair report. Speeches are DIS
torted, and the proceedings given
any shade of coloring that may best
suit the purposes of the capitalist
side of the question. While this IS
true of the news columns, the edi-
torial pages are filled with specious
pleas for the righteousness of the
cause of capital. Everything Is de-
signed to deceive those upon whose
action the result of the contest de-
pends. Under such circumstances
the daily press becomes daily curse.
Upon the discovery of this fact by
the masses of the people hinges the
fate of the republic.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-08-16

parties fear to go before the people,
and attempt to account for the pres
ent business crisis. The New Nation
truly says:
The ship Of state is on the rocks, and they
who have taken turns steering her nat
urally wish to avoid a prolonged interview
with the owners and underwriters. The
reason they want late nominations and a
brief campaign is precisely why the Peoples
party wants prompt nominations and a long
and vigorous campaign, with full discus
sion of the situation, its causes and cure.
WHAT is true of Massachusetts is
true of every other state. Neither Of
the old parties will be able to gain
any advantage over the other, by q
discussion before the people of the
causes and proposed remedies ofpres-
ent conditions. The policy of the one
is the policy Of the other and neither
has suggested or can suggest prac-
tical scheme of relief to the people.
It is the golden opportunity of the
Peoples party and it should be util-
lied to the fullest possible extent in
every state in the union. The minds
of the people were never in better
condition to receive the seeds of
truth and they should be scattered
with a liberal hand. The harvest will
we'll repay the necessary outlay.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-08-16

FROM the csvernous depths of OBJ
livion, and the solitude of Montgom-
cry county, the political ghost of
Lyman U. Humphrey, ex-governor of
Kansas, has been dragged forth and
made to contribute to the anti-silver
columns of the almost defunct Kan
sas City Times, through the medium
ship of which it spoke and said:
am opposed to the unlimited coinage of
silver at the rate of 16 to /. Silver should
be maintained, as far as possible, as part Of
the currency, but there is nothing sacred
about the present ratio. The constitution
contemplates that the ratio should be
changed at times to correspond with the
relative value of the two metals. | am in
clined to think that the purchasing clause
of the Sherman law ought to be repealed,
and that whatever provision is made for the
further coinage Of silver should be on q
ratio that represents to-day the changed
value of the two metals. The free coinage
of silver at the present ratio would ruin the
country by driving out all Of the gold,
thereby contracting the currency, and would
only benefit the producers of silver bullion.
Having thus relieved itself of the
mysterious sentences it ceased speak
ing, made a few CHASTITY gyrations,
and again faded into silent nothing
ness in the solitude of Montgomery
county, without even explaining what
caused the changed ratio between the
two metals, or even stating why free
coinage would drive out gold and
ruin the country. Political ghosts
are not the best sources of informa-
tion.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-08-16

or if in your inscrutsble wisdom you
think you can make the people think
you think when you don't think, just
put it down in plain words like the
above so that there can be no ques-
tion about your position-or your
mental condition. Don't go blubber-
ing away like a republican platform,
or a presidents message, leaving the
reader in doubt as to what you really
mean. The above paragraph is as
lucid as nine-tenths of the old party
argument on the money question.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-08-16
A GOOD SUGGESTION.

The New Nation of August 5 hits
the nail on the head in suggesting an
early Peoples party convention in
Massachusetts. 1t says that both the
republican and democratic parties
have decided to hold their conven-
tions at the latest possible date, which
will enable the candidates to be
legally placed on the official ticket;
and the reason for this is that both
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-08-16

IL the ratio of silver were only equal to
the parity Of bl-metsllism, or if the parity
Of the silver and the gold were only in the
ratio toward the bi-metallism that they
ought to be, we might do something. II
you don't understand this, ask Jerry Simp-
son.--State Journal.
Now that's more like 1t. If you
want to conceal what you think, or
want to expose what you don't think,
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-08-16

THERE should be no politics when the in
terest of the people is at stake.-Pleasanton
Herald.
o, yes, there should. The interest
of the people" is what politics is
made to serve. That's what politics
is for and nothing else. But there
are times when the people of one
party may join with the people of an
other party in order to vanquish a
common enemy consisting of men
who are not loyal to any party, and
thereby avert ruin and starvation,
such as we are threatened with now.
That is why party lines have been
overstepped in this silver movement.

INCREASE OF ENFORCED IDLENEss.

lNUREASk VI ENEOkUhD 1DhhNESS'
Every day adds TO the number of
willing toilers who are forced into
idleness and their families left with
out resources for the future. AS an
Illustration of the extent to which
this Is true, take the following from
among the many instances in the
morning dispatches of single day:
CEDAR RAPIDS, IowA.-[SpeCiRl telegram.
An order has been issued from the gen.
eral offices of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids
& Northern road to the effect that, begin
ming with tomorrow, the clerks will not
work on Saturdays and that there will be q
corresponding reduction of all salaries. The
time at the shops has been cut down to eight
hours each day and the men who have been
doing extra work have been laid of.
AMSTERDAM, N. Y.-John R. Stewart, pro-
prietor of the Stewart Knitting mills, an
nounoed to-day that commencing Monday
only half OF the usual force will be en-
ployed, thus throwing 175 hands out of en-
plOyment.
PHlLADELPHIA,-Th wOrsted goods man.
ufactory of John Bromley Il Sons closed last
night on account of the depressed condition
of trade. Three thousand employees are
affected. Tonight Dosk d Son, worsted
manufacturers, will close their mill for the
same reason and 800 employees will be
thrown out of work. John Blood & Bros,
hosiery manufacturers, have closed their
plant aud 500 men and girls are idla. Nu-
merous other manufactures Of this class are
worked on short time.
SCRANTON, PA.-The Scranton Lace Man
ufscturing Company has temporarily sus-
pended work in all departments, except the
finishing, on account of the depressed mar
ket. Nearly 400 operatives are affected.
These are but a small part of the
dispatches of like character taken
from single morning paper. They
are presented only as an example of
what is taking place IN every part of
the land. Business is psrslyzed.
Manufacturers and tradesmen every
where see ruin staring them in the
face. Men who have no resource but
their willing hands are thrown out Of
employment and can see nothing for
themselves and families bat stsrVs-
tion or crime. This, too, in land of
pleDty-s land where we are told
there is an ''overproduction" of the
necessities of life. It is most won
derful craftsmanship that, in such q
land, affords no refuge from starva-
tion except suicide or larceny. 1t is
most wonderful craftsmanship that
can find no employment for idle men
and women until they are forced by
circumstances to become criminals.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-08-16
THE DAILY PRESS A DAILY CURSE.


The daily press in its present de-
generate state is a source of misin-
formation to the people. In the great
struggle now pending, there are in
reality but two classes in this coun-
try-the plutocracy and the people.
In the former class are included the
hired Hessians who serve their mas
ters for a consideration: but who, In
the final outcome, If plutocrscy sue
ceeds upon American soil, will share
the common fate of those against
whom all their powers are now
directed. With rare exceptions, this
will be the fate of editors and CORE
spondents of the daily press. Though
we'll paid now for the dirty work in
which they are engaged, the triumph
over the people once thoroughly es-
tablished, they will reap the reward
of their infamy by being compelled
to share the fortune which they have
labored so vigorously to fasten upon
the masses of the people.
PIutocracy could never succeed in
a country like this, except by decep-
tion. The people have become ac-
customed to rely upon the press for
knowledge of public affairs and of
current events; and when this source
of information becomes poisoned, 1t
becomes a curse rather than q bless
ing. Under existing conditions, it
has become unreliable, even in mat
ters of news. Facts are suppressed,
and everything is distorted to give
most favorable view of the capital
istic side of all daily transactions. 1t
is impossible for the labor side to OBJ
tain even hearing in the great dal'
lies OF the country. Take the strike
in the coal mines of Kansas as an ex-
ample. The coal barons themselves
or their hired lieutensnts serve as
special correspondents to all the daily
papers, and their columns are filled
from day to day with the most un-
fair and one-sided views of the con-
test. A more pesceable class OF men
were never engaged in struggle for
human rights, than these coal miners;
and yet the hired Hessians who fur

MORE FAKE CORRESPONDENCE.

has another of those specials from
Topeka" which has given the Topeks
correspondents Of eastern papers q
reputation for unreliability and
folly almost equal to that Of the
Washington correspondent of the
Kansas City Journal. This is rather
strong statement of the case, but the
facts Justify it.
The special referred to relates to
the court martial Of Col. Hughes then
in progress; and recites the pEobs-
bility that rivers of blood will flow in
Kansas in consequence of it. We clip
the following from this blood-cur-
ding special for the amusement of
Kansas readers:
At several points in the state independent
military companies have been organized
and will be thoroughly drilled.
Senator "Sol" Miller, who has been a
resident of Kansas for thirty. five years, sd-
vises republicans to organize and arm COM
panies ready for business. He says:
Under the law. independent companies
can be organized anywhere in the state.
Tens of thousands Of republicans own their
own weapons-shOtguns or Winchester rifles
that are more effective than the muskets
Ga, kaA nakN I'D khns. anvsa
expert in their use.
Let rife and shotgun companies be organ
lied and drilled. They would more than
match Artz and his riff raft, and in pitched
battle could NOW them down in battalliOns.
Every Kansan of course knows that
old Sol Miller is dangerous char
acter and if he is getting his war
paint on things must look serious.
But where are Dan Anthony and Mr..
Welch? 1t behooves them to look to
their laurels.
This dispatch further states that
Col. Hughes is receiving scores of
letters advising him not to submit to
the decision of the court-msrtisl, but
to appeal his case to Grover. One
enthusiastic patriot even proposes to
pay the expense of an appeal. Just
what the president of the United
States may have to do with the
militia of the state of Kansas or any
other state we are not told; but it
seems to be presumed that he has
authority to snnul the decision of the
court. 1t will be remembered that
an effort was made in the Fifty
second congress to transform all state
militia into national guards, which
would place them under the lmme-
diate command of the president, but
the effort failed; and it will occur to
men of good sense that Mr.. CleVe-
land would do we'll in a case of this
kind to take Governor Pennoyer's sd-
vice and attend to his own business
This is case In which that advice is
especially appropriate. We are of the
opinion that it will be some time YET
before the militia of the several states
is placed under the immediate COM
msnd of the president, or before he
acquires legal jurisdiction over such
cases as that of Col. Hughes. What
the present autocrst may assume tc
do Is a mighty uncertain question.
What he has q lennL rinht to do is moi
