KANSAS SETS THE PACE.

It is suggested by some, and declared
by other eastern Republican papers, that
the Republicans of Kansas have set the
pace for the national party on the silver
question. So Kansas is making history
for the country once more. That Kan
sas is for free coinage confined to the
American product the EAGLE has been
abundantly convinced from the number
of private endorsements it has secured
from time to time during its discussion
of that question for the past two years.
1t has been the steady appreciation of
gold in purchasing power as compared
to all other commodities and products,
labor included. which has given
emphasis to the demand. Plumb
was for silver and had he lived would
have made himself felt in the United
States senate on that question.
For as much as two years before his
death he was at times worried to the
verge of public protest over the ques-
tions of protection. He claimed that the
disposition of congress TO discriminate
against the west as TO ell her products
was pronounced. The Mckinley bill as
originally introduced was markedly in
the interest of the big manufacturing
states. Next to grain and meat and sill
yer as western products, probably
comes hides. A dozen states and terri
tories have sustained annually a loss of
millions upon millions of dollars for the
want of a stiff duty on hides, which are
now almost worthless.
The next national Republican conven-
ton must not only declare for Kansas
platform on silver. or for something
equally as strong, but for Kansas plat
form on protection for the product of the
farm and ranch.
