ment for industry. No demand for labor.
No sound Of the hammer but that Of the
suctioneer knocking down property.
Stop laws and stay laws and the inter
vention of the legislature between the
creditor and the debtor. Thus was the
business of legislation in threee.fourths
of the states Of the union" And Web
ster in one Of his speeches gives most
melancholy description Of the New Eng
land industries at this time, and of the
general ruin that swept over that Sec
tion Of the country. John Randolph, in
a letter from Richmond, Va, Of May 8,
1919, says: "You have no idea of the
gloom and distress that pervRdes this
place. There has been nothing like it
since 1875, when from the same causes,
the explosion of the paper system5 there
was a generel depression Of everything.
Cases Of insanity and suicide
have not been unfrequent in this quarter,
as many as three ministers OF the gospel
and several other devout professors hRv,
ing ended their lives by their own hands,
Aud ex.President Jefferson was driven
to poverty by the universal staguation
Of business and the total annihilation of
values Of produce which was to afford
him subsistence and independence. ave
can make enough" he says, "to eat and
drink, but nothing for our salt, IRON,
groceries and taxes. Our tobacco is not
worth the pipe it is smoked in" etc.,
and much more to the same effect. And
now Cleveland & Co. are bound to re.
establish the agents that produced this
lsmentable state Of things, are they?
And remember all this il not more, was
repeated in 1887 and 1857, and on ten
different occasions in the history Of the
country as testified to by Mr.. Cooper as
within his recollection and experience.
But I must bring all this to close,
which I cannot do more appropriately
than by an extract from the speech of
Thsddeus Stevens, the author Of the
greenback act at the time of its passage
in congress-: '"Ths secretary Of the treas
ury recommends scheme to produce
uniform national currency by and
through government bonds (the national
bank sct). 1t proposes that the banks
shall receive their circulation from the
government to the amount Of govern
ment bonds pledged with the secretary
for their security. y How would
that be any better than the government
notesP The Eecurity Of the government
is equal to that Of the banks and would
afford as much currency. To the banks
1 can see its advantage. They would
have the whole benefit Of the circulation
without cost, and at the same time draw
int rest on the government bonds. Now,
it is very plain that if the United States
issued their notes direct, they would
have the benefit of the whole circulation.
In other words, it would be equal to
loan without interest, to the full amount
of the circulation. know the
danger OF granting to irresponsible in
stitutions or individuals the right to
issue paper currency, because their
svsrioe will always abuse the privilege
and lead to overissue. But when the
government thus issues, the fault and
crime is theirs if they don't restrain it
within proper bounds"
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-09-27

From careful Investigations extending
through several years, | have ascer-
tanned that much less than half the real
estate values of Kansas are owned by
residents of the state, for mortgages
owned by sbsentees or aliens 10 only q
form Of land ownership. But let US call
it half, and we have then to deduct from
what we should but do not own $780,
100000; deduct for railway values
owned by non residents and aliens $780,
100000; deduct for coal and other mines
owned abroad slOO,OOO,OOO; for all other
forms of indebtedness to non residents
$50,000,0O0. The result is that we find
ourselves laboripg to pay interest on
$750,OO0,000 worth Of property produced
by the presence and lAbors of the people
of Kansas, which they should now own,
but do not.
Seven hundred and fifty millions
owned by non residents deducted from
the total state wealth Of 81, ,l50,O 100000
leaves but $400,0000O0 owned by 1,500,.
600 people, or about $266 per capita, in
stead of the 81 900 per capita, which is the
average wealth OF the nation. In the
above we have omitted the public
debts-s:ate, county, and municipal
bonds altogether, which take another
big slice from the small piece OF pie re-
naming to US. Nor have we alluded to
our RshRre of federal taxation lover $780,
100000 per snnum) all paid by residents
OF the state, and none Of it by non. resi-
dent property owners, nor to our bur
deusome state aud local taxation.
This stripping the people OF Kansas Of
their property has all been done under
republican rule in q time Of profound
peace, free from epidemics or pestilence,
and in what our republican brethren call
time Of great prosperity. What, then,
will become OF US in time OF adversely,
pestilence or famine il we retain the 2. o.
p. as our steward OF public affRirs? In
comes are derived from income-produc-

should not object to being Judged By the
fruits of it's action over q long term Of
years, as this test has scriptural author
ity. Judged by this supreme test, how
does the republican party of Kansas
standP What character, as true and
competent defenders Of the rights and
interests Of all the people Of the state
does it give them?
It is still less than forty years since
the land comprising the state was re-
Ceived from the Indians at an average Of
about 25 cents per acre by the national
government, and transferred to the peo-
pie at Sl.25 per acre-Or granted to cor
porations for nothing. This was virgin
soil, with the garnered fertility Of count
less centuries awaiting the hand Of labor
to make it blossom as the rose and TEEN
with wealth and plenty.
No state or country ever had more
industrious, frugal and intelligent peo'
pie, or richer natural resources to draw
upon. During the thirty. nine years the
state has been settled, it has been con-
tinuously under republican control, and
during that period it's industrious farm
ers have produced fabulous amounts OF
food for man and beast, % miners have
raised from the earth many millions Of
tons cf coal, lead and zinc; it's quarriea
have yielded stone for the edifices Of a
nation, all of which have sold in the
markets Of the world for an aggregate
sum too vast to be mentioned without
seeming to be incredible. The land
value Of the state has increased from
e50OO0,000 to $500, 100000, not counting
city values. Have the workers of Kan
sas, whose tireless toll through tropiC
heat and winter billiards has produced
this wealth, its ownership to-day, and
can they sit under their own vine and
apple tree in peace and plenty with no
court summons nor sheriff's writs to
make them afraid? Has the republican
party saved to the people Of Kansas for
their own use and enjoyment the fruits
Of their labors? II not, it stands con-
demned, for this is the purpose Of a gov
ernment and the excuse for it's existence,
and for this we pay taxes and yield
obedience to law. Let the facts answer
A very moderate estimate OF the present
wealth Of Kansas is:
Lands and mines outside of towns
City and town lots and buildings 2OOOOOOOC
Railroads, 5000 miles at $4,000 per
mile, ................ 4OOOOOOOO
Personal prorerty. at an average Of
$500 per family Of five, -. 15OOOO,OOC
A grand total Of of..............A,15 ,15OOOOOOO
That this estimate is a moderate one
is shown in the fact that it is $3.50
100000 less than what it would be at an
average of $1,000 per capita for our
81, 100000 people, $1,000 per capita be-
ing the total wealth Of the country, as
shown by the census Of 1890. We also
place the railways much below their
actual capitsliz alton.
Do the people who live in Kansas and
labor to produce its wealth own this
81, 5O,0OO,OOO OF actual, tangible wealth ?
Or do they enjoy the income Of about
800 per family of five, which it should
yield them above wages for their labor,
calculated at only per cent? Are We
actually worth an average Of nearly
