" adhered to its original principles. It
was once called Wing, and is now. called
Republican, and is at bottom nothing but
the cid Tory Federaiist or party, seeking
to have England dominate the country by
Introducing and projecting English laws
and customs.
Since the late civil war the Democratic
party leaders have been gradually leading
its followers into the camp of the English
aristocraey secretly. Since Cleveland in
auguration the mask has been thrown of
and today both the Democratic and Re
publican parties are one on the money
question, and advocate everything thai
Alexander Hamilton advocated. They go
further. and, in contempt of the people.
perform every act demanded by plutoeracy
alien and domestic. These humiliating
facts no intelligent person can deny.
The plain people fn0ing themselves be-
trayed, sold out, robbed and enslaved to
greedy and brutal aristocracy, have origi-
mated the Peoples party, party planted
on the same principles advocated by Jeffer-
son, Madison, Monroe, Calhoun, jackson
and Lincoln. No unprejudiced mind can
read its Omaha platform and the teachings
of Jefferson, Madison, etc., and the short
unique platform upon which Andrew jack
son ran anti- bank, anti English and anti
nopoIy''-w1thout confessing they and
the Peoples party are one.
This brings us face to face with the real
issues. If the Democratic and Republican
parties prevail hundreds of millions of
bonds will be issued, and in this way per-
netuafIv ensIayed to cOrDorations No one
can deny that every prerogative given con-
gress by the constitution, or the legisla-
lures by the states has been farmed out to
corporations, except the power to raise
salaries and create new offices and increase
taxation. Any one who will take the
trouble to examine national and state legis-
latioa during the last 20 years will blush
with shame at the fact that nine-tenthS of
the laws create aristocrats, with power to
levy and collect taxes, or simplifies the
laws augmenting the powers and emolu-
ments of corporations already in existence.
So long has this system gone ON that there
is nothing left of our once splendid govern
ment except a shell in which are crowded
hundreds of corporations devOuring the
substance of the enslayed people.
The mind of man has not conceived any
system of reform that win emancipate the
masses from the brutalizing thralldom now
closing in on every side of the masses, ex-
cept the demands set forth in the Omaha
platform. We believe the people will stand
by the Peoples party in following the foot
prints of Jefferson and emulating the ex-
ample of Jackson and Lincoln.

Man-ashamed-of-his state, Morrill,
must have been in the president mind
of the psalmist when he wrote that "all
men were liars" In his Kansas City
speech on the financial questions he
said:
There is just much money in the country to-
day as ever and believe firmly as I stand here
that if President Cleveland had, in March of last
year, issued proclamation stating that there
would be no change in tariff laws, and that he
would sell bonds as long as he could get gold for
them to maintain the credit of the nation there
would have been no panic at all.
This man, who is a rank goldbug, an
advocate for increased indebtedness, a
man ashamed of his state, a national
banker and demagogue comes for
ward and asks you to believe that the
circulating medium lis as plentiful as
it ever was and asks you to support
him in the premises of his assertion
and to aid him to secure the highest
honors that is in the power of state
to confer Do you believe his asser-
tions? Do you believe you can afford
to elect him the executive of this
already debt burdened state? Do you
believe that his election would redeem
or disgrace Kansas?
These questions will all have to be
answered next November, and if human
nature has not changed they will be
answered in the negative.

LIGHT dawns upon 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 Kansas
men who preferree that their names
should not be used, can now be traced
to their parentage. Major Morrill's re-
marks 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 Charles Gleed
says Kansas is indebted for her bad
reputation among unthinking and mis-
informed people.

the penalty will surely follow. No nation,
of all the thousands that have existed, did

their wealth, their kings, priests and tenn

oblivion, victims of their own selfishness.
Oppression carries with it the germ of its
own destruction. The history of the world
proves this without an exception. The

THE Kansas experiment station for the
destruction of chinch bugs is doing very
large business this year. Chancellor Snow
reports that the work of sending out dis
aased bugs began much earlier than ever
before. A great many sub-stations have
been started in different counties in the
state, which aid materially in the distribu-
ton and have Iessened the work of the
station in a corresponding degree. There

depot at Lawrence between 100 and 200

of the ate as well as to Oklahoma, Texas,
Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa and other states.

iority of cases the Infection has worked as
well this year as in the past in killing off

THE industrial armies have been lost
in the shuttle since the strike. Some
those railroad men who were so ready
to help herd the storm-tossed pilgrims
composing the army of the common
veal are getting taste of their own
medicine. The great strike has taught
8 lesson that will never be forgotten
that lesson is that capital is better or
ganized than labor, that capital stands
together to unit. that organized CAPT
tai is the declared enemy of organized
labor, that capital has the armed forces
and the supreme courts of the United
States at its beck and call, that labor,
to win against this combination, must
more closely affiliate and make the
cause of one the cause Of all.

ATTORNEY GENERAL OLNEY has de-
cided that the detention of Pullman
car is stoppage of mail car. That
probably accounts for the putting of
Pullmans next to the engine on all
trains since the strike, the place, for
years past, reserved for mail cars, and
now the United States mail hobs along
on the tail end of the trains. The rail
roads consider Pullman of more i'm
portance than Uncle Sam, and Uncle
Sans hired men agree with them.

This can be done by controlling
the money. The great debt that

some of those who speak for universe
ties that all is wrong and cannot be put
