Unauthorized by Them
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-That the low
condition of the treasury is exciting gen
eral attention, IS evidenced by tie many
rumors constantly ia circulation purport-
ing to indicate the future action Of the
secretary should his recommendation for
a bond issue not receive prompt action at
the hands of congress. One of these re-
ports which has been generally circuIat-
ed is that unless speedy action is taken,
Mr Carlisle VIII avail himself Of
the privilege which It IS contended by
some, he now possesses under the act IF
1878. to issue bonds at higher rates of in-
terest than have been recently proposed.
The publication Of this statement has led
to many inquiries at the treasury
If congress gives authority to the treas
ury to issue 3 per cent bonds, not the
slightest difficulty would be found, il is
said, at the department, in floating two
hundred millions, or more, among the
people of the United States, without re-
sorting to subscription from abroad.

Legal Tenders, says nzr. CuIberson-
WASHINGTON. Jan. Secretary Car
isles reported purpose of issuing bonds
by virtue Of the general authority grant
ed to the secretary of the treasury under
the act of 1870. has aroused the interest
Of some Of the leading constitutional
lawyers of the house as To the legality Of
such action 1t IS well understood that
Dir. Carlisle would not resort TO this gen
eral act, except for the purpose of meet
ing the pressing demands for cash.
Judge CuIberson, of Texas, chairman
ct the judiciary committee of the house,
and most. if not all of. his colleagues on
that committee, say that while the secre-
tary has the general right to issue
bonds. he cannot use the proceeds de
rived from their sale, except for the sim
gle purpose of redeeming outstanding
treasury notes This of course, would
preclude the possibility of using the pro-
ceeds of a bond issue for meeting cur
rent expenses, and would render Il resort
TO bonds almost nugatory.
Judge Culberson has made an exhaust
i've study OF the bond subject and in
giving his views today, he referred to q
report he had made to congress on July
6- 1892. 1t was in response to a resolu-
tion Of inquiry presented by Representa-
tive DOckery, asking whether under the
act of 1873. the secretary of the treasury
could use the proceeds arising from the
sale of bonds for any purposes, other
than those mentioned i'm theact.

Cause and Effect.

why did Rhode Island 20 Republi-
can by 5000 and more in 1892 Why
did 1t go Democratic by almost 1,2O0
in 1892? Why did the Democratic
plurality fall to l7S in 1898?
We submit few figures in answer
to these questions.
The number Of wage-earners en-
ployed in the factories Of the State
stood in 1892 at 1909. This was
the Mckinley year, the unprcccdent-
eddy prosperous year, the year in
which workmen were told "it is the
unions. not the tariffs. that create
high wages" and were told also that
to "swipe the tariff" would be to
hurt their employers, described by
the Democratic press as "robbcr
barons,' without hurting themselves.
Many Of them believed what they
were told, and therefore the state
went Democratic by l,2OO plurality.
But in 1898 the possibility ofDemo-
cratic tariff tinkering had become Il
dangerous probability, and the num-
Der of employed mill and factory
operatives had fallen from 1909 in
the great Mckinley year of 1892 to
1896 in what seemed likely to be
the first disastrous Wilson year.
Every wage-carncr was alarmed. and
so there was n Republican plurality
of 5000 registered at the elections of
1884.
All this is as plain as Abe Inter
Ocean.

ton. 1t has disgraccd the name Of

dishonesty, incompetency and what
has amounted to actual rebellion
against the laws. But never has
there been inflicted upon Kansas so
infamous SANDER, emanating from
official or unofficial sources, rs the
report sent out last week by Labor
Commissioners Todd stating with n
show OF statistics that farming in
Kansas Is failure aud cannot be
made to pay. 1t is n SANDER because
it is not true, The evidence il before
the eyes of every man who has lived
in the State or passed through it, A
drive over the beautiful acres of Dick
inson county in any direction will
disprove 1t. On nearly every section
are living farmers who came here
practically without a dollar who now
have handsome residences, big barns,
fat stock, well titled helds-all the
product of farming in Kansas,
1t is probably true that Mr., Todd
could find n few shiftless loafers in
the county who would declare that
farming failure. He has collected
the views of that class of men in yari-
Gus parts of the State and sent them
out stamped with his official seal.
lie is disgrace to the name of
labor, an insult to the people of Kan
sas and the administration that keeps
him in office. lie is scattering lie
over the East to injure the State and
every paper in Kansas should take
pains to so brand his alleged report
and see that his true character is
shown up.

We have already called attention to
the opening Of an eastern market for
Dickinson county eggs by reason OF
the tariff Of 8 cents dozen which
prevents Canadians from proiitably
shipping to New York, and thus Civ
ing western producers a chance. The
same principle applies to other things
besides cggs-matters that touch the
farmers OF Kansas and Dickinson
county.
In recent interview Kansas
shoe man speaks thus Of the effect of
protection on hides aud skins, an
item small to be sure on many farms
but which nevertheless has consider
able bearing on the case; 81 am in
the boot aud shoe business. Twenty
years ago was buying and selling
hides. At that time the hide market
was protected by tariff, not tariff
for revenue only, but protective
tariff, from which the farmer got a
benefit. ! could then make more
money on hide than farmer can
sell his beef and hide for now. Dry
flint hides at that time sold for %
cents per pound Now with hides on
the free list they are worth 4 cents
per pound. A farmer cannot hire q
man to skin beef for what the hide
will sell for in the market, but some
demagogue who slipped in the back
door after his share Of equal rights to
all and special privileges to none,
says Hold on-how about the price Of
shoes? Well, while boots and shoes
are 20 to 80 per cent cheaper than
they were then, hides are 600 per cent
cheaper, and our buying market for
hides has been transferred across the
sea instead of remaining where il was.

ON wool. The sheep husbandry
OF Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Ne

me not long ago that his firm had not
crossed the Mississippi river for a
hide in seventeen years. lie said
they bought dry flint hides with the
head, leg skin and TANKS all trimmed
of, in South America for 20 cents each.
Free raw material sounds all right,
Mr. Farmer, but it is all wrong in
some things for your pocket. a
