A POINT WELL TAKEN.

Mr.. Schenck, candidate for the leg
islsture in the Thirty-ffth district,
made a good point In his speech in
North Topeka the other evening, in
reference to unpaid and uncsncelled
Judgments in Shawnee county. There
are to-day standing against former
owners of farms in this county which
have been sold under foreclosure
proceedings $168,OOO Of judgments
which represent the amount that the
property fell short of paying the
mortgages under which 1t was sold.
There are standing against former
property owners in the city Of To.
peka $24O,OOO of similar judgments
which represent the amount that the
city property sold under foreclosure
proceedings fell short of paying the
mortgages under which it was sold.
These judgments stand against the
former owners of the property, who
have now become tenants, and none
OF them are assessed for taxation.
The advocate., 1894-10-31

Mr.. SChenCk says when he gets to
the Legislature, he intends to urge
the adoption Of q measure that will
compel the owners of these judg-
ments to pay taxes upon them or
cancel them.
There are more or less Of the same
kind of judgments in nearly every
county in the state, owned almost
altogether by Eastern money loan
ers, and which hang like milestone
upon the neCks Of former owners of
the land upon which they are now
tenants, and which are kept in force
in the hope that the men against
whom they stand may some day ac-
Oumulate something more that can
be stolen from them. The holders Of
these judgments, wherever they may
be, should be made to pay taxes upon
them or cancel them, and Mr..
Schenck's proposition to make them
do it will be popular one in q Pop
ulist legislature.

WEALTH AGAINST COMMONWEALTH"

This is the title Of a new book Just
issued from the well-knoWn publish
ing house Of Harper & Brothers. To
those who have before known of the
author, the title of the book and the
name Of Henry D. Lloyd upon its
title page would be a sufficient guar
antee of the value of the work. 1t is
a history Of the trusts and combins-
tlons Of capital under different names
that have been organized during the
past thirty years, and the methods
they have employed in the pursuit of
their unholy purposes. The author
quotes largely from reports Of legls-
lstiVe and congressional inVestig eating
committees showing the arrogance
and greed Of these land pirates and
their utter disregard of the rights of
the people, individually or collec-
tiVely. He cites court proceedings,
and decisions in cases involving the
rights of the people upon one side
and the privileges of trusts, COM
bines and corporations upon the
other, in which two things especially
are made conspicuously clear: 1)
That courts are rare in which cspi-
tai does not exercise absolute sway;
and ~ That when decisions are OBJ
tanned against these organized pi-
rates they are arrogantly disregsrded
and defsd. The work is a store.

CHANGED THEIR MINDS,

After the defeat of the republican
party in 1892, republican politicians
Csnvassed the situation and arrived
at the conclusion that the democratic
party would in all probability hold
the ascendency in national affairs for
a good many years. Mr.. Clarkson,
president of the republican national
league, IN a conversation with J. r.
Buchanan, Of New Jersey, in the
winter of 1892 3, told him that this
was the opinion Of the national re-
publican committee. He further
stated that the national committee
was of the opinion that another re-
publican victory could not be won
upon the tariff issue, and that q new
issue would necessarily have to be
taken up. He stated, also, that the
committee had fully decided to make
government ownership Of railroads
that issue in the next campaign.
This was all before the stupendous
blunders of the Cleveland admins
tration had been committed, and
public sentiment crystslized against
Cleveland democracy. The panic of
1893, occurring as it did under this
blundering administration, although
it was a bankers panic, made to
order, hastened and strengthened the
sentiment adverse to the party in
power. Under such circumstances,
the determination of the republican
committee was reconsldered, and il
was agreed that another campaign
should be made upon the tariff hum
bug, backed by the stink-pot policy,
characteristic of republican politics.
We have these facts from indisput-
able sources, and the lesson to be
learned from them Is very simple
one.
Although the republican party is
at present bitterly opposing govern
ment ownership of railroads, because
it is a Populist doctrine, and because,
In fact, republican politicians are not
in favor of 1t, yet this circumstance
shows that they are willing to steal it
and make loud pretensss of fsvorlng
it in order to catch votes, their ex-
perience in the past having taught
them how to win elections by false
pretenses which they never intend to
carry into practice.

cseded by his Rudaoity, and his ability
to misrspressnt is pRrsllslsd by the
gullibility Of those who swallow his
statements.
1t is aaddening to think Of the efforts
made to further an unworthy cause.
What waste Of intellect that might be
used to such great advantage when it is
prostitutsd to elaborate a system which
is to benefit few at the expense Of all
the rest Of us.

the everlasting injury the perpetustiDg
Of 30 many monopoliss would bring upon

the pecuniary benefits they may receive.
This system of protection to few OF us
and dRmnstion for the rest of as will
have to 60 sometime and it is abomin-
able to realize that 80 much time and
energy is spent in preparing the people
to vote for q system that will eventually
make the prospect Of q good meal de-

congress for allowing Henry Georges

economy has made the questions 90 clear
