CONTRACTION COURT,
WALL STREET, NEW YORK, I
April II, 1894. y

W. NJ. Ndut, BOOmtOCA, K1S.:
DEAR NEPHEW:-I shall be very
glad to open up permanent CORE
spOndence with you and feel that the
exchange of business letters will be
mutually beneficial. AS a young law
yer you are interested in knowing the
true tendencies of Wall street. AS a
mOnied man | want to hear directly
from one upon whom l may rely, the
truth concerning Kansas, the state that
leads the West in the new political
movement. l am glad that you have
identified yourself with the republican
party. l hope you will succeed in your
ambition to be nominated for congress-
man from your district. You seem to
have learned that there is nothing in
politics except mOney-office is merely
means to that end.
To-day is great anniversary day
with me. Thirty three years ago the first
gun of the civil war was fired. There
fore, it ought to be great day. Out
of that war came my millions. With
out it there would have been no ma
tiOnal bank system, no bonds, no pub
lie debt, no greenbacks, no credit
strengthening, no demOnetization of
silver, no appreciation of gold, no
Cleveland bonds. Thanks, thanks,
Edwin Ruffin, for that shot you fired
on Fort Sumpterl
But rejoicing over our past luck does
not prevent me from being keenly alive
to the present situation. We must
watch our servants in Washington.
Once in awhile a great wave of pro-
gress sweeps over a people. There is
then a general awakening as in the
crusades and the reformation. This is
a possibility. Yet that is all. The
masses upon whom we live have been
too well schoOled in the present system
to break away from it. Mankind are
divided with few exceptions into two
general classes, knaYeS and fools. The
masses as a rule belong to the latter.
Many of them belong to both. We rest
secure. Why should we not? Cleve-
land belongs to us. The republican
party is our right bower. Most demo
cratic leaders know no master but the
money power. Silver is stricken down.
Bonds have been issued. Gold only
will be our money within a year
or two. Contraction will go on rap
idly. Our wealth will double, treble,
quadruple, as if under a magician'S
wand. A landlord system, such as
Europe has, is at hand. All the pro-
ducts of labor, all the gains resultant
upon the invention and use of i'm
proved machinery-all except what the
common people need for bare exist
ence is in our grasp. We have con-
quered the world to an extent that
Alexander the Great never dreamed of.
DO you wonder that we have wine
supper occasionally to celebrate our
triumphs?
And why shouldn't this be so? 1t is
simply the working out of the rule that
obtains everywhere-the survival of
the fittest. Our class is the brainiest.
They have laid their plans, have worked
them out and now reap their reward.

BooMrOwN, KAs. April Is, 1894.

DEAR UNCLE-H ours of 18th suits
me exactly. You look at the destiny of
humanity as | do. Brains ought to
win, and will win, regardless of the
Sentimentalism which would offer no
premium upon intelligence or ability.
My boom for congress comes, of
course, from what we call the "young
crowd" Like myself, they are largely
graduates of our state university, have
studied political economy there, are
lawyers, and want office. The old
crowd has failed, and we want to put
young men to the front to see if they
can not draw the votes of the young
men throughout the state. But our
difficulties are not a few. The old
crowd hates us almost as much as they
do the Pops, for they fear, with good
reason, that if we win, the offices
would be gone from them forever.
Office is all they care for. Our forth
coming platforms give us no end of
trouble. We don't dare to take stand
firmly for or against free silver, and in
the excited state of the public mind, it
is rather risky to make our position
ambiguous. The people are really tired
of the tariff racket. The bloody shirt
is completely worn out. To steal the
Pop principles for our platform would
hold many men that would otherwise
be lost; but, in the long run, it would
prove terrible boomerang. 1t would
lead the masses farther away from the
capitalistic doctrines, which they must
firmly believe, if the money power is to
retain its ascendency. If you were in
Kansas, you would not rejoice so
much. You believe that the people do
not know enough to stand by each
other and fight the money power. Here
many know what the masses can do,
and they spare us no pains to urge them
on to contest of strength. Our $4,000
stand no chance if the masses should
take a notion to vote for their own in
terestS. Very nearly majority of
Kansans are fanatically devoted to that
notion. This is discouraging when we
consider that the bankers, lawyers, a
large part of the physicians, ministers
and school teachers are working for us;
that we own the press and give the
people gold-standard news only; that
we publish the school books and so in
fuse plutocracy into children from their
very infancy by means of readers,
books on history, civil government and
political economy.
But we are not without hope. We
cannot frighten voters by calling them
howlers, because none are
louder than we in telling of the havoc
the Wilson bill is working and will
work. But socialism, anarchy and re-
pudiatiOn are words with which we can
strike terror to many hearts. Money
will not be wanting. The railroads
cling to us as their last hope. The old
soldiers will be duly taffied. Our speak
ers have not forgotten their vocabu-
laries of Vituperation and abuse. Local
issues will be utilized. Free liquor
men, license men, resubmissionists and
ultra -prohibitionists will be whipped
into line by enlarging upon the dangers
of state control Of the liquor traffic. If
money can secure the meanest of Pop
leaders to come over to US, his apos-

spoke in Bslleville yesterday. Notwith-
standing it was raining in the morning
and continued to do 90 at intervals
throughout the entire day, the opera
house was packed, nearly all the stand
ing room being occupied. Those who
heard him were thoroughly impressed
with the digni6sd manner in which be
presented the truth Of the doctrine Of @
new civilization that is soon to dawn
upon us.
l was particularly Interested in
Watching q republican acquaintance Of
mine who occupied a seat within Q few

time Of speaking. This gentleman has
an Office in the court house, and after the
meeting was over l happened into his
Office and OF course asked how he liked
the speech. He replied that he was we'll
pleased. The manner in which he an
swered me left an impression that the
seed sown had fallen on good ground;
verify, thst.man will be a Populist before
election time.
So 1t goes steadily on increasing this
doctrine Of the Christ. It Is only q
question Of time. II our plutoCratic

Neither Of them offer q remedy for the
evils so bitterly complained Of.
But 1t will not be surprising IL q grand

crowd to that side till there Ia great

soon as they sec the danger, they make o
rush for the opposite side to find their
danger just as great. This 10 about the
condition among the people to-day; they
have been rushing from one old party to
the other, trying to keep our ship OF
state from ospsizipg. The old craft iS
now so heavily loaded with corruption
and it's attendant evils that there is immi-
nent danger Of her going down.
We want order restored as soon az pos.
sible; our salvation Rs 3 nation depends
upon this. Our party 10 the only party
that offers q remedy. Our party ls the
only one whose policy is not dictated by
the money power. 1t remains for the
people to say which they will accept.
Peace and prosperity are within the easy

OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for SO
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres Of
land in the heart of Tehana County, for the
purpose Of promoting subdivision and settle
ment This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO to $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 40, 16o and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment or
principal by paying the first OF i've equal an
nual installments. Thus no part Of the prin-
cipal is TO be paid for three years and then
the purchaser Is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of z per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period OF
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality 9t SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre,
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre. An examination of the land
subject Of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre. on terms OF
payment which should make the disposition
OF these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase OF this
body of land was the breaking up ofa largo
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

TANK STEAMERS CARGO.
They Bring Molasses TO This Country
and Take Away Coal Oil.

and lake Away Coal Oll.
Almost all the molasses which comes
from Cuba to the United States is brought
in the same tanks in steamships that are
used to carry petroleum as return cargo,
says the New York Tribune. The ships
tanks are about sixteen feet deep and have
a neck seven feet deep. They are pumped
full OF oil at Brooklyn or Philadelphia,
then taken to Havana, and the oil is
pumped out into the tanks of the refining
plants there. Molasses is brought from
the interior OF the island in huge hogs
heads, which are emptied into the storage
tanks a suction pump drawing about
10000 gallons an hour fills each ships
tanks to within about two feet Of the top,
that amount of space being required for
the expansion Of the molasses. III might
be supposed that the petroleum would
have bad effect on the mOlasses, but 1t
has been shown that the contrary is the
case. and as nearly One-half the llnpOrta-
ton is made into rum and the balance re-
fined into sugar, a little oil is not of fmuch
account.
The tanks are cleaned after the molasses
has been pumped out by turning In
powerful steam jet, which washes down
the sides and liqulties whatever nolaSseS
may be left in the bottom OF the tank, and
the suction pump finishes the work. a
cargo of molasses, which formerly re-
quired ten or twelve days, can now be
unloaded in forty-eight hours, while the
difference in cost OF handling. to say moth
lug of the saving of time. amounts to a
large sum. Since the present system Of
dividing vessels hold into tanks was
devised and put into practice on steamers
the profits Of the trade and the steamship
companies have largely increased.
