KANSAS CITY WATER WORKS MUD
DLE.

On the 8th of January last Judge
Caldwell of the United States court
appointed q commission to inquire
into and report the value Of the Kan
sas City water works plant which the
city proposes to buy. That cOmmls-
sion has submitted it's report to the
court and we clip from it the follow
ing paragraph:
That we have estimated and fixed the
value Of said works and system as q whole,
including all extensions and enlargementa
thereof and everything Of every nature and
description belonging and pertaining
thereto, such value being prediCated on the
actual value of said works and not upon
the stock Of the company, and being fair
and equitable value Of the whole works al
the time Of valuation, and that the value
thus lIed and determined is in the sum Of
81, ,546,112.
The commission Is composed OF
competent engineers and Its report
ahows the folly of entrusting public
utilities Of municipalities to private
individuals or corporations. The
total value Of the plant is a little
more than one-half the amount FOL
which 1t is bonded. In addition Il
this the commission reports that the
company has failed to comply with
the terms Of it's contract with the clty

MORE BONDS BEING PROVIDED FOR.


In the debate in Che house on the
26th of February Mr.. Bryan read
from q letter from the treasury de-
psrtment that ''from February to
the 10Th over $l8OOO,OOO in gold had
been paid out in redeeming notes."
That Is precisely the process out
lined in the ADVOCATE some time ago.
1t was said that the proceeds Of the
bond sales could not be lawfully used
except for the purpose specified in
the resumption act. That is all very
good. That purpose serves Mr.. Car
Isle and his Wall street friends per-
fectlY. The bonds are sold for gold,
and the gold is used to redeem treas
ury notes as the resumption law pro-
vidss. The law of 1878 then comes
in and says that these treasury notes
when redeemed, shall be Heissued.
Mr.. Carlisle therefore pays them out
for current expenses. Once in Circu-
lstion again, the bond sharks gather
them up and present them to the
treasury for redemption. This ex-
hausts the gold surplus and necessi-
tates more bonds. The bonds will
be sold and the surplus again re-
stored. The treasury notes will again
be paid out for the current expenses
and the process OF gathering them up
and presenting them for redemption
will be repeated. The surplus will
be again depleted and more bonds
issued, and so this process will 60
on indefinitely. There is absolutely
NO limit to the extent Of the sWindle.

be added that the water charges to
the people and to the city are about
double the amount that they would
be If the city owned the plant and
operated it for the public good rather
than for private gain.
Such facts as these are rapidly
convincing the people that public
ownership Of these utilities is not
only practicable and desirable, but
that, as a matter Of self protection, it
is becoming absolutely necessary.
Thus the bug-a-bOo of psternalism is
losing its terror.

WHETHER the result Of the Penn
sylvsnia election is a rebuke to tariff
tinkerers or an Endorsement Of silver
money, makes little difference to
western and southern Populists. We
cannot afford to hang back and wait

The advocate., 1894-03-07

KEEP it before the people that the
republican system of protection
means a protected market in which
the manufacturer may sell his pro-
duct and a free trade market in
which he may buy his labor. The
bypocriticsl pretense that such pro-
lection is any benefit to American
Workingmen, or that IL is intended to
be Of any benefit to them is 3
atupendous fraud.

dispatch says they recognized many
of the policemen as their friends who
had helped them to food since they
had failed to find employment,
The Capital quotes from a pluto
cratic Boston sheet q paragraph stat
ing that the knights Of Labor ''COn-
demned the exhibition Of mob vio-
lence;" but it is careful not to pub
lish the proceedings of the Knights
Of Labor. This is like some Of the
reports the Capital sends east about
Kansas affairs. II the truth were to
be obtained it would present the mat
ter in an entirely different aspect.
There was no exhibition Of mob
violence" and the Capital knows it.
We regret the necessity OF such
demonstrations in this country as
that under consideration. 1t is an
everlasting disgrace to our boasted
civilization. There IS no reason why
such conditions should exist except
that our statesmen 3 have made
them to order, and the Capital has
been an ardent supporter of the
methods by which they have been
brought about. AS we have before
stated, the conditions are the same as
preceded the French revolution, and
unless q change is effected, and that
very soon, the result will be the
same. Hungry men with starving
wives and children have little con-
science, and little regard for law,
and it is useless to expect them to sit
still and stsrve. They will never dc
it; and if q revolution shall ever oc-
cur in thus country, just such papers
as the Capital, and just such condi-
tlons as it has helped to establish snd
is now aiding to maintain, will be
alone responsible for il. Under
these conditions men are not only
forced into idleness, but the poverty
that inevitably results is made to
constitute crime, as Is also Che acl
of seeking employment. II men dc
not revolt against such conditions
the blood Of their fathers has become
polluted In their veins.

The Importance of the work of the
present officers of the State Alliance

Their efforts should be encouraged

and give them a hearty greeting.

REPUBLICAN papers should not howl
about young Wetzel Of the Winfield

by plagiarism. There has not been

met disappointed in chat expectation

And we expected chat the Capital
would denounCe those men as ansr-
Chists and characterize their gather
ing at the state house as a lawless
mob, and we were not disappointed
in that expectation. Having sup
ported a policy for these many years
which has reduced the Workingmen
Of this country to the extremity in
which we now see them, 1T is only
natural that it should now congratu-
late itself upon the fruits of its labor
and rel ioice in the misery Of the VIC
Tins Of the spoils system it has aided
in building up. Who were those
men who assembled at the Msssa-
chusetts state house, They were
the men who have heretofore worked
in the factories and the various In
dustrial pursuits of the city of Bos-
ton. What caused that public
demonstration? The dispatch says
they were out of work and were hun

house for9 The dispatch says they
were there for the purpose Of getting
petition for their relief before the
legislature which was then in session
and the dispatch further says that
the rules of the legislature precluded
the reception of their petition. Il
the Capital aware that the denial o.
the rlght of petition was one OF th'
grievances named by our forefatheri
lin JUST fication Of their revolt sgsins'

denial by the American congress
after the establishment of our inde

ever occurred in the house OF repre-
sentatives? And is it aware that the
champion Of the right Of petition OF
that occasion was a Massachusetts
man? And does it remember thai

It was believed that the result
of that contest settled the right
