THE REPRESENTATIVE, wEDN EsDAY, AUGUST g. 1898.

divide the workingmen's votes up be-
tween the various parties. Every
worlxingman in sympathy with his fell
lows and desiring to rebuke the party
hacks and sand-baggers should sign
this call and attend the meeting. Stand
together just one time and show the
mighty force that lies in those snowy
weapons, the workingmen's ballots.
Keep partisanship down. Nominate
good, capable, unselfsh, honest, whole
souled men, free of the greed for Office
community which have hitherto held
aloof from all labor movements will be
with you. A wonderful revolution in
sentiment on such matters is permeat-
ing all classes The shilly shally
methods adopted by the various poll
teal parties in this county have been
endured by you long enough. As a
rule it is better for the workingman to
be patient and to endeavor to secure
justice and recognition of the party in
power rather than enter the wilder
ness of political action under it's own
leadership. But in this county is q
case in which forbearance has ceased
to be virtue and the only course left
for this class to pursue is to select
their own leaders, a corps of select
pioneers as it were, who will boldly
enter the forest and lead the way to
the goal where the rights and privi-
leges of the genuine workingman will
be recognized. Stand up, shoulder to
shoulder, and be counted. Recogni-
ton will be your reward.
"Now, word of caution. In this
action no party, old or new, must be
allowed to dictate or name one single
candidate, no matter how al1uring their
promises nor pleasing their bait. I'm
less the workingman is shrewd and
sensible enough to manage this affair
another party will simply use this
ticket as hobby horse on which par
tisan minions will ride into power"
The foregoing article gives the de-
tails of scheme which is so
transparent that it would seem
as if the trades unionist who is
duped by it was a fit candidate for a
lunatic asylum. The intention is to
fool organized labor into frittering
away its vote and political power upon
q fourth party ticket, so that labor's
vote being divided and portion of it
being diverted from the populist ticket,
the republicans may have walk over.
''What fools we NOR tails be-
OF a like character. emanating from
the same source and for the same pur-
pose. is the movement being agitated
for the organization of farm laborers
into trades unions.

In the Twentieth Century, of July 6,
Miss Ellen B. Dietrich says: Our sup
ply of coffee, of linen, of much of our
wooden goods, OF foreign literature, of
all articles imported, would be sum-
marily cut off, for civilized people do
not make contracts with hydra-head-
ed invisible contractor who pays in
mere paper promises, etc, ETC." 1 did
show this writing of yours to one Of
the largest exporters of manufact-
ured goods from Germany to this coun-
try, who happened to pay me a visit
while going to Chicago. This great
merchant smiled while reading your ar
ticle. He said: l will sell any of my
goods to any person in the union for
paper stamped by your government,
without any foolish promises to ex-
change this paper for gold or silver. 1
will simply take this paper and con-
vert it into wheat in your country, and
predict that in less than three
months this paper will be taken and
preferred by any traveller of your
country in Europe to any metal gold
or silver. Il will destroy. some bust
ness Of money changers, that is.all, but

PLUTOCRATIC TACTICS.
All Sorts of Tricks Will Be Resorted to 1
Order to Divide the PEOPLES Vote.

All Sorts Of Tricks Will Be Resorted to in
Order to Divide the Peoples Vote.
A religious war was nearly precipi-
tated in Kansas City by the crusade of
Rev. j. G. White against the Catholics.
There can always be found a class of
religious zealots who see danger in
every church institution but their own.
Free Press.
This crusade of religious bigots is
being pushed for the sole purpose of
precipitating religious war in order
to divert attention from economic ques-
tions in politics. The tariff is
played out as theme for sham battles,
and something new has to be found to
take its place. A religious war would
have an advantage over the tariff be-
cause it would last the year round in
stead of being limited to political cam
paigns, and would appeal to much
stronger passions and prejudices. If it
could only be managed to get this re-
ligious war into politics in some way,
so as to divide the people at the polls
on sectarian lines, what great thing
it would be. 1t would afford the most
ing economic questions, and thereby
prolonging the undisturbed reign of
plutocracy for another generation.
The scheme is being worked for all
there is in it, and there may be fools
enough left to permit it to succeed
Topeka (Kan.) Advocate.
This is not the only slick scheme
that is being worked to divide the vote
of labor's hosts. From the Railroad
Register, of Topeka, paper which,
while opposing the peoples reform
movement, poses as trades union
organ, we clip as follows:
"What may the laboring men, the
wage-earners, expect from the politi-
clans? Nothing but deception, vague
and illusory promises and ultimate dis
appointment The workingmen of this
county propose to give the politicians
thereof the Ego by" and select and vote
for their own candidates regardless of
party affiliations The sting of the
party lash has lost its power over q
large majority Of them and is but little
felt by the remainder. Having been
deceived by the politicians; their power
and influence having been sneered at;
their reasonable requests having been
ignored, and promises made to their
committees having been broken, they
propose to stand up and be counted. A
paper is being circulated and generally
signed, calling for . mass meeting of
workingmen for the purpose Of put
ting in nomination . worlkingmen's
county ticket and BY it, success show

When the government of the United
States was entirely out of money and
could not get any, It took lamp black

A portion of that same money is in ex-
istence to-day. It never cost anything

THE SAFEST BANK.

Give Us the Guaranty Of the Whole People
Collectively Issued to Individual Depos-
itors.
Amid the crash of failing banks and
tumbling banking concerns of doubtful
character a contemporary calls atten-
ton to the fact that the suspension of
the two national banks in Chicago and
one in Indianapolis, shows the strength
of the national banking system rather
than any weakness; that they will pay
depositors every dollar and the stock
holders are the only ones who will lose
anything. If these banks pay their
depositors it will simply show that the
failures were not SO bad as they might
have been. While the government
protects the people from loss through
the issue of notes, there is no absolute
protection to depositors of national
banks, and in the nature of the case
there never can be as long as men are
incompetent, reckless or dishonest.
During the recent stupendous failures
in Australia, when panic seized upon
every heart, the government stepped
in and averted universal ruin, per-
haps, by absorbing all the private saw
ings banks, and thus assuring the peo-
pie that their money was safe. We
must come to this, sooner or later, in
the United States. The postal savings
bank is our manifest destiny" 1t is
the only absolutely safe system of de-
posits. and it's adoption would not only
establish confidence and thus tend to
prevent financial panics to large ex-
tent, but would foster and encourage
the spirit of saving, and thus promote
the material welfare of the country.
With the government itself behind
the doors of a bank, failure is impossi-
BILE until the nation fails. Let us have
the United States postal savings bank
at the earliest possible moment, that
the hard-earned savings of the COM
mon people may be protected from the
defaulter, the Spectator, and dishon-
esty and incompetency in general
The failure of savings bank is a terri
bly, cruel thing. 1t takes the money of
the poor, the struggling, deserving,
themselves present necessities or COM
mon luxuries to be prepared for the in
evita BILE rainy day''-it robs these of
their ''rainy day" savings and gives
them to reckless and dishonest men
who perhaps never earned dollar by
hard work and self-denial in their lives.
One savings bank failure will destroy
the work of years in promoting econo-
my and saving among the people. It
fosters the spirit of ''eat, drink and be
merry, for tomorrow we die" 1t is
the solemn duty Of every government
to sacredly protect the savings of the
people. and nothing will more effectu-
ally contribute to their prosperity, and
consequently to the material prosperi-
ty of the nation.-OhiO Farmer.
1t must not be forgotten that either
the postal savings banks must loan
their deposits, or else there must be
from eight to ten times as much money
in circulation as now, so that business
may be transacted on literal cash
basis. The more than two billions of
savings bank deposits represent not
more than one-eighth that amount in
actual money.

FUNDAMENTAL TRUTHS,

Give Us as Money Legal Tender Inconvertl-
BILE Promises to Receive.
The price of any commodity tends to
fix itself at the average cost of produc-
ton and distribution. This cost is
measured by the la Dor power required
to produce and distribute it. We're
there no artificial or speculative means
of controlling production and distribu-
ton all commodities would find their
exchange value naturally under this
rule, and the average product of day
of labor in a coal mine would exchange
for the average product of a day of
labor in corn field, a copper mine, or
shoe factory. Value being thus fixed
by the average labor cost, no product
could be afforded at less than cost, and
it's volume of production would be reg.
ulated by the demand at that value.
The law of supply and demand would
operate freely to check any over pro-
duction, and to call forth increased
production if required.
Were all the monopolies abolished
monopolies of land, money, transporter
ton and Northumberland a certificate
of useful labor performed, either in
VI LII Uu0 means
of distribution of the products, was tho
only medium of obtaining those prod
ucts, then the rule stated at the begin
ming of this article would apply and to
each would belong the product of his
labor, measured by the average product
of all labor comparatively engaged.
Under the present system the producer
receives in exchange less than 10 per
cent of the value of his own labor, and
as the employees of the monopolists, and
even large part of the small monopo-
lists themselves, would be greatly BEN
fitted by natural and honest system
OF exchange, it follows that we have
only to educate the masses sufficiently
to see that point, to obtain it at once
by vote of the people in interest
That is what is being done in all lands
and explains the growth of socialism.
for socialism is only the abolition Of
monopoly and the substitution of this
natural and equitable method of pro.
duction and exchange. - Twentieth

AT THE POLICE STATION.

Tom Story, the old defender, was on one
of his periodical sprees last night and Gre
ated SO much disturbance on East Dougla
avenue that be was run in
A sergeant came up from Fort Supply
last night and will take Merryman, the
deserter, back with him this morning. 1t
appears Merryman will have another
charge TO answer as he is supposed TO be
the man that stole horse and a revolver
from fellow soldier.
Officer Harmon arrested a young man
for attempting to pass a two-doilar
bill that had been raised TO a twenty.
Two ciphers had been cut from a green
paper and pasted ia the bill. The work
was clumsily done and where the two aD-
peared in letters it had been scratched over
with lead pencil. He bought pair of
gloves in a store on Main street and
offered the BILL wanting $3.50 in change.
When arrested he said a maD gave him
the bill for four fives at the Douglas
Avenue hotel and that he did not know
there was anything wrong with
it. He said he was almost
20 years old and that his
name was George Fox; that his parents
live in Seward county, and that he has
been working for a farmer named Joe
Rogers, residing near Wellington. He is
either a very smooth duck or very limo
cent boy.
Lou Chambers, the girl that came here
from Wellington and was sent to the hos
pital, is at the police station. She is in
pitiable condition, and VIII probably he
helped as far as Emporia tomorrow on her
road home. She is not the innocent
girl she tried to make the officers
believe she was, and the paralysis
with which she is suffering is a result OF
her own sin. A member of the W. c. T.
{. called at the station to see her last
night and asked her if she did not know
that Christ died for her as we'll as for
others. and she replied: Yes, but I'm
mighty hungry" The lady brought her
an excellent supper, prayed with her and
gave her some good advice and the Union
will see that she is helped on her way
home.

THE TRIALS OF A GOVERNOR.

Rufe Cone arrived home from Topeka
last night, or as he said from Kansas
City. He stated. however, that he stop
ped at Topeka on his road up there. aud
spent some time with Governor Lewelling
In speaking of the gathering crowd be
said: Il never saw Topeka filing
that reaches there brings scores of
people and By Monday / don't see how
they will all find apIace to be slowed away
| tell you l would hate to go throu n
what Governor Lewelling now has TO en-
dure. Of course everybody that goes to
Topeka wants to see him. That is their
principal object in going there and while
many go solely for that purpose there
are hundreds that are place hunters and
the great majority of them want TO see
the governor as early as possible. As a
result, his rooms at the hotel are be-
sieged day and night. He has two rooms,
one of which is private, and the other.
used as reception room, is small and will
contain only about dozen people.
IL is crowded all the time and
out in the hall where are lot of settees
and sofas, you will find forty to fifty
people waiting all the time. 1t is like
going to mill. They all have to take their
turn. But let me tell you Governor Lew
cling made no mistake in selecting Fred
Close as his private secretary. That man
is born diplomat. He is courteous to all,
is a..great mixer and when it becomes neces-
sary, firm as a rock. He does much to
relieve the governor OF the great amount
of work now imposed upon him. But
Lewelling is capable of grinding out lots
of work and what is better still. he is COOL
headed and don't get rattled.'
