Among our exchanges there is none
more welcome than the Topeka ADvo-
CATE. While Kansas is filed with can
non sending hot shot and she'll into the
ranks of plutocrRcy, the real Krupp gun
IN that state is the ADVOCATE. It is q

For q western man to talk IN favor
of protective tariff, unless he is di-
rectly interested IN some pr otected
industry, Is like the boy laying plans
10 rob his fathers orchard. The man
is standing IN with his party and the
boy is keeping on the good side Of
his Shums. Both will see their folly
il they live long enough.

THE SAME OLD GAME OF MSREP
REgENTATI0N.

from an editorial In the ADVOCATE, II
which we had treated the proposition
to adopt the single financial plank o.
our platform as the sole issue in the
next campaign, and proceeds, as is itl
custom. to misstate and misrepresent
our position in the most unwsrrsnted
and unscrupulous manner. 1t rep
resents us as abandoning our former
position and the remedies for exist
ing evils which we have formerly sd'
vocsted, and adopting an entire
change of base. It says:
It is q tremendous change Of base from
the demand for cheap money aS the solu'
ton Of the whole problem TO the brushing
aside of the money question as something
petty and irrelevant from which no good
would come.
It would be difficult to concentrate
more Misrepresentation in an equal
amount of space. The Capital very
well knows that the article from
which it quotes was written in oppo-
Sjtion to any such change Of base as
it refers to, and not to in advocacy OF
1t. The Capital very well knows
that neither the Peoples party or the
ADVOCATE has ot any time claimed
"chesp money" as the solution of the
whole social problem. The Capital
very we'll knows that it has deliber-
ately and maliciously misstated our
position and that of the Peoples
party. The Omaha platform is that
upon which the Peoples party stands
to-day ss it has stood in the past. 1t
was to protest against the abandon
ment of any principle of that plat
form that the article was written
from which the Capital quotes. 1t
was to combat the proposition that
has found support in some quarters,
and that the republican press has so
indastriously labored to force upon
our party, to abandon the other
planks of that platform and make the
money question or the silver ques-
tion our sole issue. We have made
no change of base, and the Capital
knows it; and 10 saying that the set
Element of the money question alone,
leaving other things as they are,
would not bring relief to the people,
we but sustain the ground taken by
the Omaha platform itself. If the
settlement of the money question was
all that was needed in the Judgment
of the trainers Of that platform, why
did they cucumber it with other prop
osltions?
But the Capital says we are now
demanding q complete revolution OF
our governmental system, and that
this is new doctrine unthought OF
before: and this, too, In the face OF
the fact that the Capital and other
republican papers have all the time
based their opposition to us upon the
fact that the principles Of the Omaha
platform carried into effect would
produce the very revolution which it
now says we are advocating for the

tender for all debts both public anC
private.
How much does this fall short Of &
revolution upon the money question
(2) The Omaha platform demands
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
and gold at the legal ratio of 16 to l.
How far does this fall short of q revo'
luton Of our coinage system?
(3) The Omaha platform demands
q graduated income tax. How far
does that fall short of a revolution Of
our present system of taxation?
(4 The Omaha platform demands
that postal savings banks be estsb-
lished for the safety of depOsitors
and to facilitate exchanges. How far
does this fall short of a revolution OF
our present banking system?
(5) The Omaha platform demands
the public ownership of railroads,
telegrsphs and telephones. How far
would this fall short of a revolution
of our system 'of transportation and
communication?
(6) Land, including all natural
sources of wealth, is the heritage of
the people, and should not be
monopolized for speculative purposes,
and alien ownership of land should
be prohibited. All land now held by
railroads, IN excess of their actual
needs, should be reclaimed by the
government and held for actual
settlers only" How far does this
fall short of q revolution Of our pres
ent land system?
This is the kind of revolution that
the Omaha platform demands and
the kind of revolution we advocate,
and the Capital knows it as we'll as
anybody else knows 1t.
The Capital knows that it was to
urge adherence to oil Of these princi-
pies and to oppose the abandonment
of all of them but the first, that the
article was written from which it
makes it's quotation as a basis for its
statement that we have
changed our position. What we said
in that article we now repeat: Settle
the money question as We may, lesv-
ing other things as they are, and no
good would come Of it." In saying
this we in no way underrate the su-
pfeme importance of the money ques-
tion. We simply declare what must
be known to every student of eco
nomic problems, that the Importance
Of this demand depends upon the
simultaneous change of the condl-
tions which favor the concentration
Of wealth IN few hands, otherwise an
increase of money would only result
in an increase of such concentration,

troll of that which now exists, would

ANARCHY,

In the Little discussion on TINS sun
Iiect between the ADVOCATE and th
Emporis Republican, that pape
seems to be approaching q poin
where il may give its readers som
light ifit does not get frightened to
soon. In an editorial in the issue Q
January IL we find the fOllowinI
commentary upon our challenge t
publish what the philosophical an
archists Of America believe and teach
Finally, all this talk about papers no
daring to publish the teachings Of "philo
sophical anarchy is the mereSs kind o
bosh. If we knew anything about it VI
would not hesitate 10 infiot little Of it Ol
our readers, chat, knowing what IL is, the!
might avoid it. As for those Chicago Eel
lows, every intelligent person knows theI
were followers Of the red flag; that they ad
voOated the use Of the torch and the bomb
and that they died for praCtiOing what they
preached.
Now, here is a plain confession Of
the editor Of the Republican that he
does not know anything about this
subject. He says il he did, he would
inAict little OF it on his readers, that
knowing what it rs, they might avoid
it. Let it be understood that this
whole discussion relates to just the
variety of anarchy believed and
taught by "thOse Chicago fellows"
and everybody who knows anything
whatever about the matter knows
that they did not advocate the torch
and the bomb "to excite revolt and
promote disorder in the state" nor
did they die praCticing anything OF
the kind. AS we have before stated
we now repeat, those men neither
threw the bomb at the Hsymsrkel
meeting, nor did they know any
thing about it. Nobody knows to-
day who did throw it. 1t was not
shown at the trial of these men who
was guilty of that act. Furthermore,
the proceedings of that trial show
that while the men were tried on an
Indictment of murder, the prosecu-
tion absolutely abandoned the charge
of murder and convicted them OF an
archy, for which they were hung
without even an opportunity to intro
duce testimony TO show what they
did believe and teach; and the entire
plutocrstic press of the country, as
ignorant of the facts as the editor Of
the Republican confesses himself to
be, have continued to justify that
judicial murder from that day to
this.
Now, if the Republican will agree
to reproduce it, We will give Mr.. Par
sons Haymsrket speech, In order
that his readers may see what those
men were hung for. What say you'
You say this talk about papers not
daring to publish these things sis the
merest kind Of bosh." Will you
publish the Hsymsrket speech if we
furnish you the copy for it,

An Expensive Luxury.

When it was first proposed to
build new bridge the city and
county employed Prof. Nelson.
who had the reputation Of being
first class engineer, agreeing to
pay him two hundred dollars per
month to superintend the work Of
construction. When the bids fer
the bridge were received from the
different bridge companies they
were referred to him to say which
was the best. He selected that
of the King Bridge Company,
which was one Of the highest if
not the highest in the lot, and re-
lying upon his judgment the bid
was accepted. The work of erect.
ing the abutments was begun and
Prof. Nelson placed Mr.. Wallis,
his assistant, in charge Of the work
as stone inspector, whose salary
the city and county had to pay,
while the Professor went back to
Lexington and came down oc-
casionally to see how things were
moving along. Several times
questions were raised by mem
bers of the committee Of the City
Council as to the character Of the
work being done, which were re-
ferred to Mr.. Nelson and he gen
orally decided in favor Of the con
tractor. The stone work was
completed and the Professor said
it was all right.

plete the bridge by the 18th of
November, which caused great
complaint. The Professor was
ever ready to defend them and
would explain at length the diff
culties under which they had to
labor. After SO long time the
iron began to arrive and the work
Of putting up the bridge was be-
gun. When about half Of the
upper work was in place the joints
in the wall of the south abutment,
upon which the end of the old
bridge and the chords for the new
are resting, began to separate.
The attention Of the Professor
was called to it, but he said the
abutment was all right and the
cracks amounted to nothing.
The cracks widened and the chief
Of the construction company
which is putting up the iron de-
clared he would not swing the
bridge upon the abutment. The
Professor was sent for and again
gave it as is opinion that the
abutment had not settled and the
wall was not going to fall down.
Still the old cracks have continued
to widen and new ones to make
their appearance until there is no
man in the world who knows any
thing of such matters, except per-
haps Prof. Nelson, who will not say
that the whole structure -abutment
and wing walls-is in an UNI
safe condition and not fit to put a
bridge upon which is expected to
stand for ages.
Now the question arises, who is
to stand the expense taking down
the worthless abutment and put
ting up new one? Prof. Nelson
