Pennington Tribune: If any one
wants to know why the prices of all
farm products are low-fearfully low
let him look over the list of silent fac
tories and empty shops. These are
reasons more eloquent and convincing

mOny that has ever been produced.
And it is the fulfillment of Republican
prophecy. literally and absolutely.
What trash! The only prophecies
the Republican party has made, are:
l. That the Mckinley tariff bill
would give the workmen and all the
people good times.
Three million starving workmen
proclaim it lie; and nine million
mortgaged farmers, -mortgaged be-
fore the Democrats came into power,
echo the sentiment. We still have
the Mckinley tariff-the Democrats
propose to increase it-and we have
universal ruin.

If the Sherman act was repealed we
would have good times.
And we have them! We are Just

PEOPLES PARTY POINTERS.

Jerry Simpson has been renominated
for congress by the Kansas Populists.
Eugene Y. Debs delivered an ad-
dress before his own people at Terre
Haute, Indiana, on the 9th ult. He
is an ardent advocate of the PEOPLES
Party.

der to break up the miners strike in
that town. How can any laboring
man continue to vote for the old par
ties when the Peoples party is pledged
to secure their relief from monopoly
rule. BY his arrest they hope to starve
the men into accepting starvation
wages, as he was their successful
leader. Trumpet up charges were
made by railroad vag.
Again the sovereignty of the people
has been maintained. The case of
Alderman Kiichli for the city of Min
neapolis against the Brush Electric
Company has been decided by the Su-
preme Court of Minnesota in favor of
the people. The five year contract has
been declared void. Now the city
should prepare to build her own cleo
trio plant at once.
Coxey's chances for election to Con-
gress in McKinley's district are most
excellent. The entire Populist dele
CATION will 60 to Ohio and stump the
district for Coxey.
Kansas has about $25O,OOo worth of
per cent bonds coming due and the
holders have written the Populist
treasurer that they do not want the
cash, but will accept new bonds at 4
per cent. How the Peoples party has
ruined the credit of Kansas.
Every man has his own opinion
about the true cause of the hard
times, but it can be summed up in the
fact that the nation and the people
have been running into debt on an in
fiated basis and are now demanding
it's payment on contracted basis.

mutual advantage of the government
and the community? Why, let me ask,
should the government be exposed to
such difficulties as the present, by
mingling it's credit with the banks
when it could be exempt from all such

1t is time the community, which has
SO deep an interest in sound and

try and another, should reflect seri-
Ously on these things, not for the pur-

Here's a Mine of Richness.

Stockholders of the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad Com
pany are Mortified to learn that 81 ,000,-
900 of their money has been wrongful
ly diverted during the last two or
three years in the payment Of rebates
to shippers as the price for the bust
ness secured. Officials of the company
defend themselves on the ground that
if the money had not been thus en-
plOyed the road would have lost enOr-
mOusly, and they explain that the
company would be able to make bet
ter showing of earnings now than it is
doing If they were allowed to continue
the lawlesS practice. 1t does not ap-
pear that the saving Of 100000
would have kept the Atchison out of
bankruptcy, for the system was water
logged and predestined to go through
the ordeal Of a reorganization; but
that isn't the point.
The disclosure reveals the fact that
the officials Of the company named
have been guilty of fragrant violation
of the most important provisions OF
the Interstate commerce law, viz,
those designed to protect the small
shippers and the general public in
competition with the big fish. The
federal authorities tried hard for
three or four years to get at the facts
relating to the payment of rebates by
this very company, but the guilty par
ties took refuge behind their cOnstitu-
tional right to refuse to give evidence
that might incriminate themselves,
and they escaped punishment.
Now the officers of the court have in
