PURELY A Pop PROPOSITION.

The Wichita EAGLE is trying to turn Re-
publicans from woman suffrage by proclaim
ing IL Populist movement. The EAGLE
ought to succeed. as the Republican party has
never supported any measure of public mo-
ment. which did not promise a lease of power
The negro would never have been given the

can convince the members of its party that
women suffrage will strengthen the Populists

sas.-Winfiel Tribune.
The EAGLE never defended the enfrau-
chisement of the negro in the ex-slave
states. 1t was an unfortunate step for
the poor colored man at the time, and
since, most OF the inhumanity to which
he has been subjected is traceabls to the
fact that ne had the ballot. The EAGLES
editor has held TO the conviction for
many years that the troubles of this
country, politically and financially. have
been largely due to unrestricting suffrage
laws.
Asfor the second proposition, no con-
vIncing process should be necessary. 1t
is self-evident fact that were female

Populiss party would remain in power
in the state indefinitely, and especially
would they control county politics and
offices.
A Large number of the county Populist
conventions held throughout Kansas on
Thursday last endorsed in set terms, fe-
male suffrage, some of them demanding
that 1t be put in the Populist state plat
form. No Republican or Democratic
county convention has done SO. for the
well known reason that a very large per-
cent of the women belonging to these old
political households would not so 10 the

COMES OF THE Low PRICE IDEA.

The labor movement has gone too far
: in its so-called sympathetic strikes when
ORGANIZATIONS arm themselves and COM
NIT murder and arson in the name of
labor rights. Human judgment will not
excuse the armed forces dealing death
and destruction in Pennsylvania. nor the
organization which marched to Leaven-
; worth the past week for the purpose OF
driving miners, who are satisfied with
their wages, from their work, any more
than will sense of justice and right
brook the action of the strikers at
;CrippIe Creek, Colorado, who day before
yesterday dropped dynamite down
among defenseless men shut up in the
drifts of q mine and thus destroy life by
the wholesale. Labor organizations have
no fraternaI, legal or other possible right
to saw to any man not a member of such
organization, s"thou shalt not work. A
mans labor is his own, and it is due to
no one save his family. The organiza-
stion which sets out to rob any man of
his right to earn bread will have TO be
crushed or otherwise there is an end to
civil government.
AS for the unsatisfactory conditions
which exist, the mine owner nor the
labor employer is to blame. A great
ma iority of the strikers of the country
and the marching industrial armies
voted for the policy which now obtains.
They voted for the low priced idea. But
free trade, while it undoubtedly means
low priced commodities, also means
low priced labor, and low priced labor
cannot make high priced labor by strikes
under a policy of promised free trade
and general cheapness.
The Democratic platform declared
for free and cheap things, all around.
but things NAV become SO cheap as to
prove Improbable of production, which
fact, in turn, closes the factory and
turns the laboring man out.
The Pop party is for free trade and
cheap things, notwithstanding absolute
free trade means from fifty cents to a
dollar for labor, per day, and cur
tailed demand at that. American in
situations and American civilization
were not founded on the cheap idea.
The average American wants lit
tie better article and considerable
more of it than any people
that ever existed on this earth, and the
only way to have things that way is by
a policy of governmental selfishness of
high and rigid protection. If under
such policy things do come higher, labor
will be proportionately higher with every
body busy and nobody caring.
If the Atlantic ocean was wall of fire
and the Pacific an impossible gulf, and
America thus forced to produce every
thing necessary or desirable within her.
self, what with her gold and silver, her
iron and coal mines, and ali her mex
haustible sources of production, in fifty
years her people would be the most op-
ulent and .dazzlingly wealthy of all his
tory.
The free trade theory means a leveling
policy of cheapness and of universal low
prices, not only of things but of the la
Dor which produces things-down to a
level with the cheap condition of things
in the old countries whose resources her
hundreds of generations have worn out
and exhausted.
