WHEN it is proposed to issue inter-
est-bearing bonds to bankers, there
is no complaint made that the bonds
will depreciste because they are
based only upon the fiat of the gov
eminent; but when it is proposed to
chop of the interest coupons and
chop the bonds up into denominR-
tions of from 81 to $50 and issue
them to the people, it gives the bank
ers and demo-republican editors cold
chills lest this government fiat shall
become worthless. Oh, rats!

President Cleveland had, in March of last
year, issued a proclamation stating that
there would be no change in the tariff laws
and that he would sell bonds as long aS he
could get gold for them to maintain the credit
Of the nation, that there would have been NO
panic at all.
It is probably true that if the bank
ers could have secured an unlimited
bond issue they would not have con-
spired to bring on a panic; and the
voters of Kansas will not fail to OBJ
serve that the would-be governor
puts himself squarely on record, with
out solicitation, for the issue of bonds

PROSPERITY HEADLINES.

Two strikers kllled-OhiO militia DISPOSE

Cripple Creek not quiet-Miners organ

Saundersites all guilty-Entire army con-
viOsed of obstruCbing United States mails.
Soliciting for miners -LabOringmen con-
tribute to strikers-The Kansas situation.
These headlines all relate to labor
disturbances in different parts of the
country as found in one days dis
patches. OF course, they indicate a
very prosperous condition of the
country. Well-psid, oontented and
happy men are always creating dis
turbsnce, you know, just for the fun
of 1t. Oh, there's nothing wrong

1T MAKES US SMILE.

The democratic convention of Mi
ami county on June % indorsed the
national democratic platform of 1892
and "the honest and patriotic admin
istrstion of Grover Cleveland" OPP
posed fusion, woman suffrage, prohi-
bition and paternalism, and favored
free coinage of silver and gold, and
the issue of sufficient paper currency
by the government directly to the
people to do the business of the
country. With the record Of Mr..
Cleveland and the democratic con-
grees on the silver question so fresh
The advocate., 1894-06-27

MossBAoK politicians of the old
parties stand and watch the process
sion as it goes by. 'Hold on there"
they say, you are progressing too
fast. You are drifting toward revo-
luton, psternalism, nstionalism.
You are asking congress to do what it
can not do. You would subvert the
government. Turn back. Turn
back" But the procession goes
on, and grows longer. The
mossbacks will fall in at the
rear, and after a while we will have a
congress that will not refuse to serve
the people.

THERE is a certain crowd IN Kansas
that is in the habit of assembling
periodically and calling itself the re-
publican state convention. 1t pre-
tends to represent the republican
voters of the state. If there is any
thing in the platform adopted by
this body at it's recent meeting that is
really representative of Kansas sem
tlment we do not know what it is,
unless 1t is the irrigation plank, and
that is a socialistic measure. The
proposition that the state and nation
shall interest themselves in the irri-
CATION of arid lands is Populist
doctrine. How can a republican
convention indorss such a policy?
The advocate., 1894-06-27

IN the minds Of the people there is
something very funny in a democratic
convention indorsing Cleveland's ad-
minlstrstiOn and in the same breath
declaring in favor of free coinage and
a government issue Of an abundant
paper currency. Il makes us smile.
The advocate., 1894-06-27

Light dawns upon a dark subject.
The statements to be seen in Eastern
papers for couple of years past re-
specting the disgrace of Kansas, said
to have been from ''prominent Kan
sas men who preferred that their
names should not be used," can now
be traced to their parentsge Major
Morrill's remarks at Kansas City in
opening his campaign reveal the fact
that he is one of these prominent
men," He is one of the fakirs to
whom Mr.. Charles Gleed says Kan
sas ls indebted for her bad reputa-
tion among unthiaking and misin-
formed people.

JUST as we might have expected,
republican papers blame the Peoples
party for the disgraceful tar and
feathers episode in which Adjutant
General Tarsney took the leading
part. If there had been no Peoples
party, Tarsney would not have been
adjutant general, and perhaps there
would have been no one to interfere
with the outrageous actions of the
deputy marshals as against the
miners. Plain enough when you
catch on.

IF Congressman Curtis can get
