Act as You Preach.

ED. VoIcE:-We have men who
study the policy movements until, il
possible, they would deceive the very
elect. II all would act as they preach
We could know each other, but as it
is we are compelled to suffer our
selves TO be ensnared in order TO be
convinced Of the rottenness Of the
policy man. We are not judges enc
OF another, but "by their fruits We
shall know them" Fruit is an out
ward manifestation Of an indwelling
spirit. How absurd it is for US to
speak OF our love for the stars and
stripes; for law and order; for fair
and square dealing between man and
man, while we are not law-abiding
citizens. What do you think OF a
Populist banker who studies to get
the laboring people to deposit their
money with him and then loans
it at eighteen per cent? Do you not
think the time is upon US when we
should compel men TO do business
legally, or move to localities where
such work is in demand? Are not
the people to blame for countenancing
this illegal way Of covering up and
robbing them Of their homes? Do
you think there is alaw-abiding bank
er in the state Of Kansas who confines
himself strictly to legal rates? Do
you think our public speakers are JUS
tilted in saying, ~ do not blame the
banker under the present law" and
never call attention to the way they
are doing business? Should a man
pay eighteen per cent as agreed upon?
Yes, he should do as he agrees, but
there is no use Of having it that way.

Upon the gubernational question
the State Journal Of recent date
accidently published the following
truths:
Mr.. Sam. T. Howe is a financial
man, and he knows what he is talking
about when he says: The eastern
people don't care snap whether the
next governor is Mai. Morrill,. Mr..
HOch, Mr.. Martin or Mr.. Heller.
They prefer to have a republican in
power, and the larger majority the
better.
This is fact. They do not care
who he is so he represents their inter
ests instead Of the people OF the state.
No higher compliment could be paid
Gov. Lewelling than that he does not
represent eastern capital or eastern
people. Herepresents Kansas, Kansas
ideas and Kansas people, and that is
the kind Of man the people in Kansas
want. 1t is an outrage upon intelli-
gent people for Kansas papers TO ask
for support of a certain man because
he is acceptable to eastern people. We
are already too much controlled by
eastern peoples ideas. Our Republican
papers in particular.

ACETATE and EDUCATE.
Editor CoMMONER:

Editor CoMMONER:
l see by the Globe Democrat that
Senator Hill, Of New York, in his
tariff doctrine that so delights the Re.
publicans, has staunch supporter in
Senator Brice of Ohio. The latter
has a red-hOt speech almost ready for
delivery, says the G. D, which is load
ed with facts that are far from en-
dOrSing the free trade features of the
Wilson bill. Senator Brice, like Sena-
tor Hill, has been at work for weeks
past in collecting the opinions OF every
merchant, manufacturer, business
man and editor in his state, and when
he rises to speak he will show that the
Democrats Of Ohio - stand almost as
aunt with the New York Democracy.
How would it do, Mr.. Editor, for
some U. S. senator to spend little
time in collecting the opinions of the
producers of this country on the tariff
question? And can you not see that
Hill and Brice are trying to pull the
Democracy over to the eastern, capt.
talistic, monopelistic idea Of the tariff
question, Just as Cleveland and Carlisle
aided by John Sherman, are tugging
away at the old thing to get it over
to that side on the money question?
Behold, how good and how pleasant
it is for brethren( Republican and
Democratic leaders to dwell together
in unitym Cleveland, Sherman, Reed,
Carlisle, Gresham, Hill, Brice. How
loyal they are to their masters! How
faithfully they serve them.
Well, it is refreshing to see that
good men in the south and west, of
both old parties, are getting their eyes
open and are inclined to repudiate
their leaders. Thousands of men have
come to the place where two ways
meet. The conditions were never so
favorable as now for campaign of
education. The country should be
flooded with reform literature and
made vocal with reform speakers. Let
the enemy bubble over minor matters
and perpetuate petty QuarrelS if they
will, but refOrmers must fire this coun-
try with a ceaslesS discussion of fun
damental principles and just policies
of government. The Commoner is
doing its full share of the work of agi-
tation and education.

Republican papers would like to
have itappear that "the labOring man
has little time to study the great
financial questions Of the country
but then the average labOrer is so
much more intelligent than the averag
Republican editor, that he would not
require much time to discover that the
republican party and the tariff are
shams-while starvation is a reality
that even a brute could understand.
A great many wOrkmen have plenty
Of time to study these days, and they
are sensible enough to study the
primer frst-social conditions al
home. Place the country in prosper
Gus and equitable home relations and
it has nothing to fear from the outside
world.
Two men going into business part
nership consult with each other upon
the best policy of the firm. So pee
pie in our industrial and social COM
munity, or firm, should consult to-
getheF upon public policies, iHtead Of
staiilng off am -.-,,Alng their fists
and calling each other thieves and
liars and doing nothing. If there are
real thieves in the community let
them be punished-then let business
proceed.
There is more for the country to
fear from the men inside the capital
building than from those outside.
The industrial army will never make
war except for the good Of the country,
and they will fight nobody but the
enemies Of the country.
The trouble is entirely internal and
infernal-the tariff has nothing to do
with the case-and English gold cure
doctors are not needed. The patqlra
Strength Of patient labor and persis
tent exercise Of the ballot is the only
hope Of relief.

The above needs no comment TO
show the Nails ability to lie. 1t is
only small falsehood compared with
numerous other things that appear in
this rag daily. Nothing more could
we expect from an "editOr" that has
more whiskers than brains. The read
ing public have but to file this paper
to learn of the editors" ability as a
prevaricatOr. But it's said there is
power at the root OF long hair, and we
predict good results for the editor"
when his lilOcks are full grown.
He is a ''rat" by profession, a black
smith by trade and an agriculturist in
his mind, and is now yainly striving
to gain a reputation in newspaper
dunn. Poor fool. Not like man of
common sense who would have long
since given up the idea Of being an ed.
itor, seeing the fruits of such labor, he
takes his seat as high-cOck-alOrum OF
the Mail and pukes out upon decent
people, daily, a mess Of filth that is
not worthy the constellation OF even
his own rank, 10 the anticipation Of
a few sheckleS or a little "well.merlt.
ed honor" he will proceed TO pharma.
ceutically does out such gObs of rot as
may please his dignity" at the cost
Of his patient, no matter whether it
suits the case or not. Such men are
a detriment to a community in the
rank Of vagabonds, let alone decent
and respectable people. If it pleases
your dignity" we do not deny hav-
ing been called up in police court, and
Furthermore, we paid our fine, having
asked no one to"fOrgive US, with the
exception Of offering an apology If We
had offended the court.
1t is not our intention 10 resort to
an overdose Of vituperatiOn, but when
Ian editor will publish such internal
blasphemy without cause or regard
to truthfulhess, il must needs fall on
some one IN correct the matter. He
cannot prove one assertion made In
the Mail against US. We invite him
to take what has been said and prove
it. 1t may seem like small matter
to the editor Of the Mail, trying IL
kick people on down the hill, when,
perhaps they have made mistep that
heads them toward the incline; but
we are sorry to say he has tried It,
The truth will hurt no one, and had
be give utterance 30 nothing mere,
there would have been no room oil
cause for impeachment.
. In behalf OF my brother, / will say
that the editor knows nothing, about
