But, say our good friends, money is
plenty. "Look at New York." the banks
have S8OOO,OOO above the legal reserve,
and You can borrow it on call at IL per

bonds required as security for "csll

banks holding this vast sum of money
and refusing to loan it, except "on CALI?
We will venture q suggestion as to why
they do this and will simply refer you to
the oftrepested Washington dispatch,
"SserStOry Carlisle Is preparing to issue
bonds"
For what purpose, pray, are these
bonds to be issued? To provide means
Of employing the idle millions? Oh, NO;
that would be pSternslistic. To pay cur
rent expenses Of the government? Oh,
no; they can be paid by coming the sill
Ver bullion now in the vaults Of the
treasury. What, then, is the object9
Why, simply to provide for an invest
ment for the bankers millions, the gold
received for the same to be used to in
crease the reserve and to be locked up
until some foreigner or some banker who
refuses silver demands it. And this 10
ststesmsnship-this "Wise insnciering."
Alasl while we are writing comes the
news, "Sscretwy Carlisle has issued
bonds" The government has come to
the felSef OF the banks which were suf-
fsring for market IN which to loan their
accumulated millions. The common
people could furnish no more security.
So the general government comes to
their relief by selling government bonds
for b banking basis through which the
money OF the country will be controlled,
and on which the impoverished millions
must pay interest and finally the princi-
pal. AS soon Rs the present offer Of $780,
100000 10 taken, doubtless more bonds
will be supplied.
Ex Governor Fifer, the last republican
governor Of Illinois, once said in speech
at Joliet: "Just as certainly as stand
here the government will fall. All
things tend to wealth, wealth to luxury,
luxury to weakness, and weakness to de-
cay"
Debt is the great dsmning, blighting,
whitening curse Of the nineteenth CEN

the polls.
The history Of what followed has BEEN
written, and we do n OF intend to repeat
{ here, but we beg every true and loyal
citizen OF Kansas, every patriotic Indi-
vidual who loves our free institutions, to
first learn all the facts in regard to this
unparalleled usurpation OF authority by
csnvassing boards and the courts, before
COndemning the action Of the Populists
in endesvOrlng to secure their rights as
deCEeed at the ballot box.
The position Of the Populist party in
thls legislative matter was simply this:
That ia order to constitute any man
member of the Kansas Legislature, ne
must be eligible to the Office and must
receive the highest number OF legal
votes cast for member OF the legislature
from his district; that no man who was
not q qualified voter OF, and resident
in the country or district for which ne is
elected" or who was otherwise disquall.
fed, or who did not receive the highest
number of votes cast for representative
in his district, could lawfully become a
member Of the legislature, and, further,
that no court had any power to pass
upon the membership OF either branch
Of the legislature, for, according to the
constitution, "each house shall be the
iudReoE the elections, returns and quail
flcationa Of its own members"
The contention of the republicans was
that he who procured a certificate,
whether qualified or not, and whether
entitled to the same by reason Of the
legal votes cast for him or not, was
the only constitutional member from his
district entitled to participate in the or
ganization OF the house and enjoy all the
rights OF membership.
In this matter men who were not
elected and who were disqualified, and
in one case citizen Of Oklahoma, were
declared to bS legal members OF the
Legislature by the supreme court. 1t is
clear to any unbiased mind that no court
could pass upon the legality of the house
OF representatives without passing upon
the membership thereof; and to do this,
we contend, is direct and hagrant vio-
lation Of our state constitution.
That men did hold seats in the rspub-
licRn house who were not qualified, and
who were not legally elected, csu be
demonstrated by an investigation OF the
RACts. We challenge the fullest investi-
cation on this subject.
In undertaking to prevent this unlaw-
Rul attempt to defeat the will Of the peo-
pie, Populists were forced to adopt q
course outlined by the supreme judicial
court Of Mains--a republican court-in
q similar case, but we're prevented by the
revolutionary acts Of the republican
members who refused to permit the or
ganization Of the house in the manner
which had been praCtioed by republican
Legislatures for thirty years, thus pre-
cipitatiDg the Legislative muddle" with
which all are familiar.
We deny that there was anything rev.
olutionary In the acts Of the POpulist
house, declare that in every instance the
overt act which caused disturbance and
trouble was committed by the so called
Douglass house, and court the fullest in
vsstigstion on this subjsct.

the misrepresentation and Vili6cstioD OF
our people and our officials INDUCED in
by the daily press, to which may bs
added the failure of a number Of Kansas
financial institutions (oficered by lead
ing republicans; we can give ERmss il
necessary which caused many people to
believe that our state officials and q ma
jority of our people were repudiators.
All such statements we declare to be in
famous ISLANDERS upon our people and
state, and declare that no state in the
union contains a more honest nor q pct
tor debt-psying people than Kansas. AS
evidence Of this, We have only to point
to the fact that during the first nlne
months Of 1893, Notwithstanding the
money panic, the most severe in the
history Of our country, the short crops,
the poorest in years, and the extremely
low prices, her people paid OF their in.
debtedness to her banks over $l3,00O,O00,
thereby enabling the banks to pull
through the panic, and at this date,
taken as a whole, present a more solid
front than the banks Of any western
state. While Kansas had large num-
Der Of bank failures during the panic,
the amount involved 10 small. A single
failure in an eastern state often involved
more Of actual loss than the entire
amount involved in all Kansas failures.
This brings US to a consideration Of
the general situation throughout the
country to-day, which all admit is most
deplorable. Dnn's mercantile agency
declares that times are harder and
prices lower than for fifty years, and
while prices Of farm products are al
ready below the cost Of production, they
must 60 still lower il the present 6nan-
cial policy is continued. The daily press
declares that eVictlons in New York city
exceed any known In Ireland. Bread
riots are of daily occurrence and millions
Of lsborlng men are idle, while business
men Of all classes are forced to the wall
at the rate Of 400 to 500 per week; fRcto-
ries are closing down, and each day
adds to the distress, misery and wretch
edness. What is the cause Of all this,
and what is the remedy? RsRd the
Omaha platform and preamble, compare
iG with the declarations Of other political
parties and answer here and nOaO who
declared Alright and who falsely.
In the campaign Of 1892 POpulists de-
clared that the price of wheat (which
was then 50 to 60 cents) and the prices
of all products would continue to de-
cline unless there was q change in the
financial policy u the government. In
reply to this it was declared that the
great natural law Of supply and demand
governed, and OK Secretary Of the Treas
ury Charles Foster was appealed to and
issued q manifesto to prove that there
was more money in circulation than ever.
Every one is familiar with what Mr..
Foster said at that time, but when he
was forced to the wall few months ago
he stated that the tightnsss Of the
money market was the cause. He said:
"Oar bills were paid in paper (meaning
notes sud acCeptsnces) and We were
called on for cash."
But how is it to-day with wheatP The

attention TO the fact that the Populists
having, az they believed, and as they stall
believe, elected a majority Of both
branches Of the legislature, sought to re-
tain control OF the same to the end that
they might redeem their pledges to the
people Of the state by passing much
needed Legislation.
We point to the record OF the laws
passed by the Dunsmore house and the
senate 90 evidence of this desire to re-
deem their pledges to the people. We
also call attention TO the fact that our
state board of railroad assessors fulfilled
the pledges Of our party to the people OF
the state by assessing the property OF the
railroads In a just and equitable manner,
thereby equalizing the assessment Of said
property with other property OF the
state which has heretofore borne an un-
Just portion OF the burden of taxation,
by reason Of unjust discrimination in ia
vor Of the railroads by former assessors;
and we condemn the action Of certain
railroad corporations in attempting to
coerCe the people Of the state into ac-
cepting less sum for taxes than 10 law
fully due from them, and call particular
attention to the fact that the average
assessment per mile Of the roads that
are refusing to pay their taxes is less
than ons-fourth the average mortgage
indebtedness per mile Of such FoRds.
Upon this Indebtedness the people have
been compelled to pay interest in the
form Of exhorbitsnt freight rates. When
a farmer, by reason Of hard times and
low price,, is unable to pay his taxes or
interest on the mortgage on his home, it
is sold without ceremony or delay, and
il he complains or sugges ts that there
should be a stay OF proceedings until
shines improve" no is denounced as a
dishonest man, a "rspudistor." When q
corporation 10 unable to meet it's obligs-
tions, it calls to its aid q United States
court, which interposes and compels it's
mortgage holders to wait for their inter-
est until "timss improve" and said cor
poration is able to pay.
The Misrepresentation, Viliacation
and Bb lse which characterized the
can psig Of 1892 has been continued as
to the state administration, and never in
the history Of any state have public Of
Hcisls been compelled to endure more
outrageous treatment at the hands OF q
portion of her citizens than have the
present officials at the hands OF the re-
Publican press Of Kansas until to-day
some good people Of our state really be-
lieve that our state officials are human
monstrosities.
The bond of State Treasurer Biddle,
which was pronounced Dy q meeting OF
Topeka bankers to be the best bond ever
given by q state treasurer, was repre-
sented to be practically worthless, and
an appropriation Of a thousand dollars
was forced upon the Legislature, by re-
publicsns, to investigate the same.
