6lained by the progress Of inven-
tioa.n
Then the editor GOES on to say that
''the price Of agricultural products
had steadily risen from the Middle
Ages to the the time when in 1873 the
worlds currency began to be con.
tracted by the shutting out of silve,
from one mint after another, thus
doubling the demand for the gold to
supply the need for an increase of cur.
rency, and that the result of this pol.
icy was the steady increase in the
value of gold"
Then the editor Of the Outlook be.
comes prophet, and says: eff in the
present crisis the decline extends to
real estate, then the value of money a.
measured by property of every sort
will have been doubled, to the vast
enrichment of the creditor classes Of
the world, but to the impoverishment
and bankruptcy of borrowers, and the
paralysis of business, through the de-
cline in prices which an adequate and
equable currency would have kept
uniform"
Verify there is prophet in New En-
gland, for truer words were never ut
tered. We in the West know that the
decline in prices has already extended
to real estate. Compare the price of
Kansas land with its price five years
ago. Good quarter sections of land in
this fertile Arkansas valley, that ought
to support a farmer and his family
under proper value in prices of things
he can grow, are selling to day at from
$500 to $500 per quarter.
We will close this article with one
more quotation from the aforemen-
toned paper: "Hasten the worlds
return to currency which shall in
crease with the increasing demands of
commerce, and secure justice between
debtors and creditors, and in order to
do this initiate a systematic agitation
for international bimetallism.
Republicans, democrats, populists,
prohibitionists, read this thoroughly,
think Of it carefully.

Unjust Taxation.
To the Editor Graphic:

To the Editor Graphic:
FELLsBURG, KAs., Mar. 14th.-I
have heard some unfavorable comment
concerning the action of our assessors,
when at their last annual meeting in
Kinsley, on the 9Th, they raised the
taxable valuation on real estate 25 pei
cent. 1t occurs to me this is in the
interest of the railroad property IN this
county, as the county has a certain
amount of money to raise every yeal
and by raising the valution it would
flower the per cent of taxation.
Is it not fact that the valuation on
railroad property is determined by q
State Board of Assessors? and ou1
commissioners have no power to raise
it. Hence, when we raise our valua.
ton on lands it will raise the tax on
real estate and lower that on railroad
property, as our tax levies apply to all
property alike.
In raising our valuation does it not
increase our state tax, unless all other
counties raise their valuation. to oursi
am told Kiowa county has lowered
their valuation on real estate rather
than raise it, and that they do not list
Improvements on lands for taxes.
Now it seems to me unless the state
board would equalize the valuation all
over the state, which they seldom do,
it would be policy, from a financial
standpoint. to keep our valuation as
low as possible.
I am informed our county CLERK
favored the scheme, saying it would
make better showing. I think this
a poor time, while lands are shrinking
in value, to raise our taxes on real
estate. Our lands will show up fol
their value.
The burden of taxation should be
equalizei so as to rest equally on all
classes aud property alike. At pres.
emit they are borne chiefly by the middle
classes, while the big corporations and
heavy capitalists get off with a mere
pittance. A CITIZEN.

IT seems to be settled thing that
sugar will be protected. What else
can be expected when Havemeyer, at
the head of the sugar trust in behalf
of the concern, contributed $3.50, 900
to the democratic campaign fund.
The congressional committee used their
determination to tax our sugar as a
money making scheme, and many
noted democrats in congress cleared
thousands of dollars in Wall street
speculations. Let us congratulate our
populists that their names are not at
all mixed up in this scandal.

GOOD WORDS FOR SILVER.

We copy few extracts from the
editorial page of the Outlook, very
conservative New England family
paper, to show you that no paper can
touch upon the times without seeing
the awfuiness of the financial wreck
wrought by the few men who control
the money of the world by controlling
the gold.
Here is the O,al0ok editorially:
g. Last week the attention of the bust
ness world, as well as the thinking
world, was directed to the simultan-
eous fall in the price in silver and
wheat, the two commodities which
more than gold even have been con-
sidered the best measures of value.
Side by side with the price of silver
the price of wheat went to the lowest
point on record. This fall in wheat
has been accompanied by correspond
ing TALL in the prices Of all other COM
modities. The decline that has taken
place in manufactured goods is to be

Depravity HolIowings.

To the Editor Graphic:
DEPRAvrTY Hollow, KAs., Mar.
10th.-As you have always seemed
so kind-hearted and sympathetic, as
well as wise, I want to tell you some
Of my troubles, and ask your counsel
as to what I shall do. I went over
to the station at Depravity Hol-
low the other day to see if there was
any mail for us-any letters from the
children, who are all married off and
scattered from Maine to California,
and Barbry Ann CHATS my old wopan)
she is so uneasy for fear that during
these hard times they will either starve
or turn democrats or calamity howlers.
When I got to the station the train
hadn't come in yet, and as there were
a number Of the neighbours present,
we soon fell to discussing what was
the cause of the hard times. One man,
who claimed to be democrat. said it
was the ''lingering remains of the
Sherman law" others claimed that it
was lover production" and "want of
confidence" while one man thought
it was q course from God, sent upon
the nation on account of the wicked
ness of the calamity howlers." At
last they asked me what thought
about it, and as had been reading
the Topeka Capital, of course was
to know all about it. So,

the theory Of Gods curse resting on
us, on account of the popuiists, but
even that Is not all. The chief cause
Of our hard times lies in the Wilson

When I got through Jack Jones.
who don't know whether he Is repub-
lican or q populist, said he did not see
what effect the bill could have in max
ing times hard here in the west. He
didn't believe that was the cause, ard
that we must hunt for something else.
Then the only populist present, who
had been standing by and listening
with his mouth watering, put in and
said to Jack: ssThat's just where you
are mistaken, when you think the
Wilson bill has nothing to do with the
hard times. Uncle Lettus," said he,
sis right, q began to clap my hands,
and I can prove it. Here" said he,
''ir0n and steel are are all the same,
except little difference in tho process
Of manufacturing, and one is a finer
quality than the other, that's all. Now
that. "Now," said he. ''as
farmers, we raise on our farms enor-
nous crops of iron and steel every year,
and we are interested in getting as
good a price for it as possible. Of
course, as farmers, we don't have to
buy anything that has iron or steel in
it, such as nails, bolts, screws, axes
and machinery of any kind that has
either iron or steel in them. IF we
did, we would want it to be as low in
price as possible, but as we raise these
things on our farms, and raise them
to sell, we want the price to 90 up"
"Why just Think" said he, s'of how
much money it would bring into this
country if you, and you, and you,
pointing his finger at each one in the
crowd), as farmers, could go home and
load into your wagons some of the. steel
you raised on your farms last summer
and haul it around and sell it for plow
shares to the doctors, lawyers, preach
ers, merchants and banksrs. Why we
would all be rich in a short time. But,
il the Wilson bill passes we can't do
that without competing with the pau:
pers of Europe"
The democrats began to cheer him
and the repub licans slipped away,
while the speaker, with satanic grin
on his face which l shall never forget,
called to us and said that he thought
he would plant about hundred acres
of IRON this spring if he could get the
seed, and take chances of the tariff
being removed.
l went home and told Barbry Ann
about it and she said l was an old fool,
and was so mad she would not speak
to me for three days.
Now, what want to know is, do
you think the man was making fun of
me, and what should do to him if he
was?

lican, but if you say that "cuss'' was

apologize or fight a duel.
