bought this paper in that they succeeded
in deprecisting at from 46 TO 81 cents on
the dollar, and walked up to Uncle Sam
with q cheek that would put Bselzsbub
10 shame, and said: ave have Syour
promises to pay; we know that you have
paid with this money the army and
navy and everybody that has raised q
hand for you to put down the rebellion,
and that you owe no debt for services,
but we are bankers, and understand all
about finance; therefore, We want inter-
est bearing bonds for those greenback
promises to pay on their face value, no
matter what we took them in at, or how
we come by them. That is no concern
Of the government, and for this great
benefit extended to ths government we
ask to bs exempt from all taxes on the
debt we have created for our own spe-
cial benefit; and, furthermore, we want
to establish the best banking system the
world ever saw (for the banker) that we
may draw interest ON $4,000 on a $780,
600 investment. You $50 the people do
not understand finance; they are RcCum-
ulRting altogether too much property
with these promises to pay, and you
must sustain the banks by q credit
strengthening act for the public Gas it
were); we must have an honest dollar;
the credit Of the government is at stake,
and In order to make it good, we must
be paid in coin. Therefore, Uncle Sam,
you must call in those promises to pay
that the people are usSaR 20 money and
resume specie payment January /, 1879,
for your debt ID q sacred pledge to us,
and we must be paid in honest money,
But later on we perceive that silver, the
cheap white trash, after being demone-
tizsd and partially restored under re-
striCtlons, Of course, still passes for 10C
cents on the dollar over every counter In
the country. This will never do; We
must bring it on q parity with gold, you
know. We must repeal the Sherman
law and get Sherman to do all he can tC
help grover and give pie to only those
who will assist in the job. You see the
peoples ideas about silver and finance
are visionary and impraoticsbls. They
are psteEnalistio, snsrchistic, sOcislistic,
and mysticistic or mologistic."
Now, Mr.. Editor, You can SEQ the rea-
sons why We enjoy such great prosperity
under republican and democratic rule
The reasons are as clear as mud. Oh
course, "the poor we have always with
U.s." That is only an incident that Oc-
ours in the line Of our progress and pros
psrity and is not worthy Of mention
when you consider how little money it
takes to become q millionaire il you
only know how to get to congress and
legislste in the interests Of the dear
people. Tom EVANS.

EDITOR ADVoCATE:-The resolutions
OF the alumni of the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college published in the ADvo-
CATE last week would seem to indicate
that they were not being recognized by
the public Ss much "a their qualiflca-
tions deserved. While it Ia true that
none Of the alumni have been appointed
on the board OF regents it is also true
that from 1873 down to the present time
the graduates have been very literally
dealt with by the regents "a no less than
fifteen Of them are now on the pay roll

A Good Explanation.

our country is growing from bad to
worse every day, with no prospect Of
any better times in the future. I will
say to such people: Read the rspubli-
can platform Of this state carefully and
thoughtfully. To me there are only Ave
words in the whole platform that are
worthy OF the slightest consideration.
These are found in the first line Of the
third resolution. They go on to say
what they have been saying for the last
twenty-five years. 1.-THE republican party
demands the use Of both gold and silver
a. standard money with such rsstric-
tiOns and under such provisions to be
determined by legislation as will secure
the maintenance Of the parity Of values
Of the two metals" etc.
No one is talking about honest money
or the parity OF these two precious
metals except those who have first
issued the disCredited money and have
afterwsrd discounted it in the hands Of
the producers. Now they have the con-
summste gall to talk about parity. The
legerdsmRin of the republican party and
Its democratic ally in what they are
pleased to call legislation for the last
thirty years ls Un parity with HI Is
it possible to make any stronger deClsr.
atoms for bi-metallism than were made
at Minneapolis and Chicago two years
ago by the two old pRrtiesH And what
did that avail as? When they got to
Washington they turned into Cleveland
republicans and Mckinley democrats
for bond issue and a gold standard,
ruined the West and South and filed
the country with marching armies Of
idle men; and now our Western repub-
licRn friends propose to put another
dose Of this dsmnable hog wash down
our throsts to give these pirates at
Washington a new lease Of power. Bear
with me, Mr.. Editor, while try to show
you the reason why ''the poor we have
always with u.s." After the last gun
was fred in the war OF the rebellion and
Lee surrendered at Appomattox the
bankers told us that the government
was in debt over 2 billion dollars. To
whom did the government owe the 2
billion dollars! Was it the soldier who
received bis $l3 per month from the pay
master? Certainly not. He signed
receipt for payment in full and consid-
cred himself paid. Was it the men who
clothed, armed and fed the armies Of
the nationP They received their pay
during the war and all at the close Of the
war, and none who received their pay
considered that the government was
under any further obligations to them
except the soldier in the way Of PEN
sion he richly deserved. Did the gov
ernment borrow this vast sum Of money
from the bankers? Not that anybody
knows Of.
Then 1 ask again, to whom did the
government owe this 2 billions Of dol
larsH Echo answers no one. Then how
was this vast debt the people are paying
interest and principal on created? When
the government was in sore need Of
money TO prosecute the war, she asked
money from those bankers, but was re-
fused; then the government issued 60
million dollars OF demand notes that
stood at par (as these gentlemen term it)

Police Protection in jersey

JERSEY CITY, N. j., June 27.-The Rev.
John l.. Scudder, pastor of the tabernacle,
has created something of sensation by an
announcement that one of the four gam
blers, whose places he caused to be raided
two weeks ago, told him that he had paid
money to police official for protection.
DIR. Scudder visited police headquarters
and gave Chief Murphy the name of his
informant as we'll as other information in
reference to disorderiy houses in the vicin-
ity of the tabernacle. Chief Murphy is
making ADMINISTRATION. The gambling
houses raided through the efforts of DIR.
Scudder were all located in Captain Fred
Farrier's precinct, in the lower section OF
the city. Dr. Scudder intimated that Cap
tain Farrier has knowledge of where the
protection money went Captain Farrier
denies this, and declares there are no dis
orderly houses or gambling dens in his
precinct He says DR.. Scudder is sensa-

WASHINGTON, June 2i-Mr Covert, of
New York, the chairman of the house COM
mittee on patents, will Mt once report fa-
vorably the bill to punish the pirating of
dramatic compositions AS the law now
stands there is no practical way ofpunish-
ing these offenses, The purpose Of the
Covert bill is to remedy these defects. The
bill has been championed by Bronson
Howard of New York and other gentlemen
equally well-known in the dramatic world
1t has the cordial support of the majority
of the patent committee and Speaker Crisp
has promised Mr.. Covert that day shall
be given to him during the present session
in which the bill may be considered. The
opponents of the measure base their obiec-
tion upon the ground that it is not advis-
able to add to the catalogue of crimes in
the federal and state courts. Mr.. Covert
believes that this argument will not infiu-
ence the house to any extent, and so far as
he can see, the bill is likely to meet the
approval of majority Of the members and
pass without serious difficulty

NEW YORK POLICE INQUIRY.


NEW YORK, June 27.-Tha senate police
investigating committee resumed its
labors, and there is every indication that
the session this week will be a lively one.
Lawyer Goff has been since Friday last
sending out subpnnas.
1t Is rulnored that Inspector Williams
will be called before the adjournment
takes place and it will be case of Greek
meeting Greek when Mr.. Golf wants him
TO tell all he knows about the police de-
partment of New York.
Nine. Emma Charles of the Tenderloin
district is also on Mr.. Goffs list, and 1t is
expected that she will have an interesting
story to tell of that well known district
EX-Police Commissioner Stephen b.
French may also he heard on the stand.
AS matters now stand the committee
will not sit after July T. An adjournment
will take place before that date and the
committee will not meet again until Sep
teInber Some of the senators are willing
to sit continuously but Mr. Goff says he is
In absolute need of rest and the committee
will favor his views
1t is said that Chairman Lexow has
been in the receipt of threatening letters
almost daily. He, however, denies that
such is the fact and says that he has not
received any such epistles.
The rather sudden return of Richard
Croker was not expected by the comm ittee.
He will not arrive in town in time to be
called Mr.. Goff is very reticent as to
what his Intentions are towards Mr..
Croker
