Cuts Both Ways.

The demonstration of silver and the
closing of our silver mines are proving
to be a two edged sword, so far as
the farmer is cOncerned-cutting both
ways. Not only does it depreciate the
value of his products, but it is to result
in setting up silver miners in business
as his competitors in raising what we
have too much of already-farm prod
ucts-when they should be raising what
we haven't enough of-silver.
So many miners having been thrown
out Of employment, something had to be
done to prevent the depopulation of the
state. So prodigious efforts are being
made to develop agriculture. The sum
of $3.50, 900 is to be spent in advertis-
ing, and railroads are to be asked to
help make an agricultural state of Col
orado. AS Colorado's agricultural pos
sibilities lie largely in irrigation, it will
be seen that their products, being sure.
will not only come in competition with
ours, but will be certain crop every
year, since they will not depend upon
the possibilities of drought.
To the farmers who have year after
year witnessed the shrinkage in the val
ue of their products this new evil re-
suit of silver decentralization cannot but
be discouraging. When times are brisk
and prices advancing or profitable,
farmers can look with complacency at
competition, but more competition at
starvation values means uin.-North

THE non III AND SOUTH RAILWAY.
Some Of the Details Of the Scheme - Re-
ported by an Unfriendly Paper.

Some Of the Details Of the scheme - Re-
ported by an Unfriendly Paper. -
The projectors of the north and south
railroad scheme, who have been in con-
ference here for three days. finished the
work Of organization and filed articles of
incorporation for the Gulf and Inter
state Railway company.
The capital stock Of the company is
$18, 900. The directors are: Fred
J. Close of Troy, Kan; Albert Griffin
Of Manhattan, Kan; j. F. MILESTONE
of Pomona, Kan. E. Stoddard of Oma-
ha; E. J. Rundell of Wayne. Neb. E. E.
Carpenter of Canton, S. D.; Buffalo"
G. j. Jones of Perry, 0. T.; M. H.
Kimpton of Fort Worth, Tex; L. D.
Featherstone of Forest City, Ark; II.
M. Dake of Brook6eld, Mo. Halver Hal
verson of st. Paul; A. j. Westfall of
Sargent's Bluffs, Ia, and A. Wardell of
Topeka.
The object of the company is to build,
equip and operate line of railroad
from point OH the gulf of Mexico in
the state of Texas, across that state, the
Indian Territory, Oklahoma, Kansas,
Nebraska, South Dakota and North Da-
kota, to point near the south line of
Manitoba in North Dakota, and from
the point first mentioned across Texas,
Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa and Mime
sofa, to point on Lake Superior. to-
gether with necessary branch lines.
The road shall be operated in the in
terest of the public, the articles set
forth, and shall be held in trust and
operated for the benefit of the public
school funds of the states traversed un-
til five or more of the states shall by
legislation provide for the acceptance,
maintenance and operation of the line
with equal representation in the control
thereof, at which time the road shall be
and operated in the interest of the peo-
pie. The board Of directors shall have
charge of the construction and operation
of the road, with full power to raise the
money necessary to carry out the prof.
ect, provided that the road shall not be
mortgaged or bonded for more than
$15, 900 mile. The board shall also
fix passenger and freight rates. The
rates shall be fixed annually and be
based on the business of the preceding
10 months. The profits shall go into
the school funds of the several states
after the Indebtedness of the road shall
have been paid.
T he articles of incorporation also pro-
vide for telegraph and telephone lines.
The capital stock shall be divided in
$50, 900 shares OF 500 each. The head
quarters of the company are fixed at
Topeka.
The articles of Incorporation were
prepared under the direction of Judge
Frank Doster, the we'll known Populist
lawyer. Iii purely Populist scheme,
and the gentlemen at the head of it ex-
press the belief that it will be success
fully carried out. Experienced railroad
men and capitalists, however, say the
scheme is impractical. Topeka Cor.

The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1894-01-31

There seems likely to be strong and
possibly successful attempt in congress
to get the advocates Of an income tax to
compromise on an inheritance or sue
cession tax. For our part, we should
like to see both sorts of tax laid. The
howl against the tax on incomes is alb
surd. Most foreign countries, includ-
ing England. raise great revenue by
this tax and have no trouble in collect
ing it, nor should we have any trouble
if we adopted their machinery. In view
Of the fact that scarcely one in thou
sand of the people of the country have
enough money in year to be touched
by an income tax, the cry against it as
unpopular is preposterous rubbish. -

Volunteers For the Front Rank.

General Charles S. Warren, in declar
ing his allegiance to the Peoples Party
in Montana, says: II have applied for
admission to the Populist party, and
what is more l am not going in alone.

Some Suggestive Figures.

Daniel G. Zercher of Topeka gives
the public at least one argument for
new party in the following: "A few
months ago l saw letter in Kansas
City paper signed by ex-Secretary of
State Higgins boasting that the Popu-
lists had then held the state Offices about
five months and that they had not shown
up the much talked Of rascality of the
Republicans, but on the other hand had
found everything all right. Just to re-
fresh the ex-secretary's defective men,
DRY and for the information of the peo-
pie submit small comparison on two
items of the contingent expenses of the
secretary of states Office which is as
follows:
For postage. 1891, Republican. ~ $4,000
For extra clerk hire, 1891, Republican. 4OO55
1otA. ............,........ .............. $olO5o
For postage, 1892 Republican . $4,000
For extra clerk hire. 1892 Republican. 1880
Total. 81. O35OO
For postage, 1898, Populst. $3N.00
For extra clerk hire, 1893, Populist .... None
Total. Observation-Disclosures. $3H.00
From this comparison on two items
Of contingent expense only, you will see
that the Populists have saved $413.35
over the Republicans in 1891, and
$685. in 1892. The reader will also

So Went Rome.

All the Democratic newspapers agree
that the balls, receptions and banquets
now being given in Washington by the
Democratic officeholders are the most
costly and magnificent ever seen in this
country.
Inside the White House is blaze of
jeweled ladies and gold braided gentle
men, the sound of revelry-all the tin
sci and sensuality of Goldfish aristocracy
displaying sudden and i'll gotten wealth.
Outside, just few blocks away, lies
abject poverty, crouching amid rags
and filth, and in every street is the cry
of children begging for bread and of
strong men pleading for work.-Tom
Watson in Peoples Party Paper.

How Far Is It to the Limit?

Whatever the fate of the tariff bill
now before congress, the vital question
of money will never be sidetracked
again in national campaign. The peo-
pie know that more bonds mean more
interest, and that more interest means
more business depression, more idleness
for workers, more taxation for the peo-
pie, heavier burdens for the mortgage
ridden farm owner and less wages for
the staving farm laborer.
Beware, Mr.. Carlisle; there is limit
to the patience of even the long suffer-
ing American people. Il. of L. Journal.
