ROBUST HYPOCRISY.

The Kansas City Times gives the names
and locations Of forty three saloons run
ming openly in violation Of law at Kansas
City, KSs. It cannot be pretended by
the reform administration that these places
are unknown to the metropolitan police
which are directly under control Of, and
responsible to the state administration
Capital, September 21.
Gan it be pretended that they are
unknown to the republican county
attorney of Wysndotte county and
the republican city government of
Kansas City? Section 2543 of the
revised statutes makes the county at
torneys of the several counties the
very first officers upon whom the
duty IS imposed to see that the pro.
hibitory law is enforced. If these
places are running wide open as 1t Is
pretended they are, why don't your
republican county attorney do his
duty and close them up? It re.
qulres an everlasting amount of
gall to be constantly referring to
these violations of law and charging
them up to the Populist administra-
tion when the very Office upon which
the law imposes the duty to suppress
such things is IN the hands of your
own party. Such hypocrltical can't
is too thin to deceive anybody.

Kelly and Mr.. Morrill, to get to-
gether?
Mr.. Kelly also says that Mexican
miners only receive rs cents per day
Sin Mexican dollars of deprecated
value" His statement is misleading.
The Mexican dollar is not depre-
ciated in comparison with the COM
modities the miner has to purchase
with it. 1t is only deprecated in
comparison with gold, the great high
way robbery of the world.
But over and above all other con-
siderstions, the extreme absurdity of
Mr.. KellY's position is in the attempt
to make political capital out of
comparison Of such a country as Mex
leo with such a country as the United
States, in any respect whatever.
That wages are extremely low in
Mexico is true, but not lower than
they will be in this country if the
policy Of the past thirty years is pur-
sued much longer.

subject. All that is necessary in
these days, when the people revolt
against any encroaChment Of capital
and secure the passage Of a law by
the Legislature to remedy the evil, is
for the capitalist to get the law into
court, and that most wonderful in-
strument, the constitution" makes
short work of it. Who says this is
not a government by the people and
for the people?

HOW THEY DIFFER.

If q poor woman takes a loaf of
bread to keep her children from
starving she is a common thief and
the protection of society requires
that she be "sent up"
If rich woman steals goods from
the counter of the merchant she is a
kleptomsniac; and this disease is
now charged with still another of
tense. The daughter of wealthy
Chicsgoan, certain Miss Ellsworth,
was recently arrested in that city on
the charge of forgery. 1t appears
that she had deliberately forged q
check and drawn the money on it,
and the friends of the family now
say: "The young woman is a kIep-
tomsniac, if ever there was one" Of
course, it would not do to have the
daughter of one of Chicago's wealthy
citizens designated as a common
forger. This would be too swfully
awful to think Of.
The advocate., 1894-09-26

WHENEVER the republican party is
in hopeless minority it usually pur-
sues one sensible line Of policy; that
is, il abandons the money power and
appeals to the good sense and pa
triotism Of the common people.
That's why the republicans Of Mis-
souri are SO emphatically demanding
free coinage Of silver.
The advocate., 1894-09-26

IF those Populists who are so gen.
erously contributing to the support

committee has paid for 100000 copies

did not somebody think to ask him
this questions If he could buy as
much in Mexico with one Of our dol
lars as with two Mexican dollars, why
did he burden himself with two
heavy Mexican silver dollars in ex-
change for it, Why did he exchange
his 500 silver certificate for $3.50
Mexican silver? The fact is, the
Mexican silver dollar is a legal ten
der for all purposes in Mexico, and
one dollar Of Mexican silver will pay
dollsRs worth Of hotel bill or rail-
road fare, or buy full dollars worth
of any commodity in the Mexican
market. United States money is not
legal tender there and does not cir
culste in Mexican msrts any more
than Mexican money does here. Mr..
Kelly, therefore, simply exchanged
his money for money Of the country
and obtained the premium which
Mexico is compelled to pay for gold;
and the next question to consider is
the motive of the Mexican banks in
making such an exchange.
Mexico is a very large importing
nation. She buys every year much
more than she sells, and there is
always a large balance Of trade
against her. This trade too is mostly
with gold standard countries, and
gold has to be secured with which to
pay this balance. Now while the
United States silver dollars are not
directly redeemsble in gold in this
country, they are readily convertible
here into greenbacks, and treasury
notes issued in the purchase Of silver
bullion under the Sherman law of
1890, and il has been the uniform
practice Of this government to redeem
these in gold, so that every dollar Of
United States money of any kind
that the Mexican banks can buy is
means in their hands OF securing
gold with which to meet the Mexican
balances of trade. It is true il
costs them q heavy premium, but
they are compelled to have it, and
this is the penalty they pay to the
gold mongers because Of the general
demonstration of silver throughout
the world. Il amounts to the same
thing precisely as though the agents
of the Mexican government should
bring their silver here for the direct
purchase of gold. On it's arrival here
it would bring just it's bullion value
in the msrket-no more. What
Mexico is suffering from is an unwise
and suicidal industrial and CONNER
cisl system. It is not free coinage of
silver that hurts her; it is the failure
to produce what she needs to con-
sumo, or to produce an quivalent that
she can exchange for what she can
not produce. Mr.. Kelly, instead of
proving that free coinage of silver
has ruined the financial condition
of Mexico" has only furnished an

AMERICAN MONEY IN MEXICO.

Hoxie, Kas., September IL, in which
he says:
Bernard Kelly spoke here on the 10Th and
said: 81 was in the city Of Mexico last July.
went into a bank and put Ave standard
silver dollars on the counter, asking for
Mexican money in exchange, and they gave
me ten Mexican dollars, containing 322
grains Of pure silver. afterwards offered
them an American twenty dollar silver GER
tiHoate, and they gave me thirty-nine and
one half Mexican dollars each Of 322 grains
Of pure silver in exchange he explained
that Mexico has ruined its financial OOndi-
ton By free and unlimited coinage Of
silver.
It seems that MIR. Kelly is making
this a great point in his speeches, as
we have received reports Of his state
ments from several other places, and
it may therefore be well to puncture
his little bubble and let the wind out
oft.
In the first place, either Mr.. Judd
misunderstood Mr.. Kelly, OF Mr.
Kelly does not know the weight of
the Mexican dollar. The old Mexi.
can dollar contained 416 grains Of
silver, g fine, and therefore con.
tanned 374.4 grains of pure silver.
The Mexican dollars coined sinoe
1873 contain 4l7.48 grains, and the
American cyclopedls states the fine
ness at 1903. Practically, therefore,
we may consider the fneness equi-
valent to American standard silver
and the Mexican dollar now contains
375. 1872 grains Of pure silver.
It is a fact that United States
money commands q premium in
Mexico; and 81 Of United States
money Of Gny kind will bring at the
Mexican banks nearly, if not quite, 81
of Mexican silver, which is the money
Of that country. It is not for the rea-
son, however, that Mr.. Kelly states
How he, or any other person can get
an argument out Of the facts in this
matter to sustain any republican
theory of money is one OF the I'm.
solved mysteries. The republican
theory is that money is intrinsic value
that our metallic dollar must con-
tain q dollars worth of metal in
order to make it q dollar; aud yet
our United States silver dollar con-
tanning 412h grains is worth at the
Mexican banks two Mexican dollars
each containing Alias grains What
becomes Of the intrinsic value idea in
view Of this fact, and what is it that
makes the smaller United States dol
lar worth two OF the larger Mexican
dollars? Will the gentleman ex.

WOULD-BE ASSASSlNS Fire at Supposed Deputy Marshals and Wound Three Men.
 The CoWards Escape.

Late Saturday night a cowardly attempt at assassination of deputy United States marshals was made, and the result Is that one or two parties unconcerned in the affair are seriously injured.
 On Saturday afternoon warrants were sworn out by Deputy United States Marshal A, P. Mcclellan, who resides at Brook side. for the arrest of six men who were known to sell liquor to the miners on pay days. Deputy Marshas A. T. Woods and Mcclellan went out to execute these war rants. and in the afternoon succeeded In arrestinp four of the six men for whom they had warrants. These men were In custody and the marshals were planning the arrest of the other two. They were standing in company with two other men, bv the side of the commissary of the Sloss Iron and Steel company and were making arrangements for the arrest of these retail liquor dealers.
 In this position they stood for two or three minutes and then moved away. lm- mediately after they had left Storekeeper D. M, Stewart Stable Boss Laurie McDon- aid and a miner named Dority appeared on the spot just vacated by the deputy mar shals and began conversation. All at once and without word of warning two or three gunshots rang out upon the noun, tain air. There was scream ,whlch showed that the would be assassins had touched their supposed game.
 It hero developed that Storekeeper Stew. art had been shot in the back of the head and seriously wounded, and that Laurie Mcdonald, the stabl eboss, was also wounded. After an examination 1t devel- oped that the miner named Dority WAS also shot. Immediately after the shooting the would be assassins disappeared into the woods.
 Physcians were called and the wounded men attended to. AS far as Is known neither of the men are fatally wounded, and it is thought that they will all recover
