lab0rer and the farmer these many years.
We have often felt that we were proud to
be Populist; to belong to a party which
was with the under dog in the fight for
food to keep from starving and clothing to
keep from freezing, but we never realized
it So fully as since the Republican party
surrendered. body, soul and breaches to
the oppressors of mankind Oh, party OF
Lincoln; that party to which poor could
one time look for protection and relief. Is
it possible that in the hours of dark despair
it has betrayed its friends? Yes, it is a
fact. 1t has sold IT'S birthright for mess
of pottage. We want TO redeem Kansas,
which properly interpreted means, 1--WE
want the Offices so you will have to pay us
but we don't promise to even administer
the affairs of state in an honest and econO-
mical manner" They even make no ap-
OIiges for their extrayance and robbery in
the past and don't intend to do any better
if they get it again. eve want the offices. .

Republican Convention.

The Republican state convention has
completed its labors and gone home, except
the machine which always remains at
he adquarters for few days to oil up and
get the bearings to work in good shape. Ii
re quires little more time this year to gel
he parts adjusted nicely than in former
years as it has been laying out in the
weather for couple of years nee knocked
to pieces in 1892 by the PopuIists. 1t was
thought by some people that few of the
most worn cog wheels were lost for good
which would necessitate new ones; but
after it vas set up a careful survey of the
| old timer found it complete in every parti-
cular, not even the oil can gone or single
screw missing. If one would want any
proof of this fact they need only look at
the ticket ground out. 1t is composed of
men who have been candidates for office
every since the memory of man runneth.
The bankers and lawyers fill the places.
Not even Bruce Lynch, who was so ably
urged by railroad men stood a ghost of a
show. The fact that so many elements of
our population were recognized two years
ago on the state ticket, even to the cOlOred
people, is proof of what we have before
said, that anyone who wanted an Office
then when the machine knew it could not
win, go. it.
The platform is the same as adopted by
all former Republican conventions except
not so much of it. Nothing is said about
controlling corporations or lessening the
burdens of the people through excessive
railroad charges. If the voter was search
ing for information to enlighten him as to
what element the Republican party repres-
ented he need look no farther than its plat
form. The candidates nominated, being
bankers and lawyers, and the absence of
any promise to relieve the people from any
of the Ills which affiict them; nsurious in
terest, exorbant railroad charges and the
grinding heel OF ali or any monopoly is all
that IS necessary TO convince any sane man
that there is not one ray of light shining
through its black, plutocraiic platform to
which he can point with hope that the
party viii do anything for him If put back
in power. Such a wholesale surrender TO
the money and corporate power by any
party IS beyond the recollection of the old
est inhabitants of the globe It IS as much
as to say that We viii make no promises
and We viii have none to break.
The party is certainly to be commended
for It's frankness. Having realized that
the people put no faith in its promises the
party this year makes none and is going

Avn Electrieal WONDER.

Raising iron or steel to a welding heat
by plungiDg it into a bucket of water is
one of the more recent electrical accompli-
Shments which has excited no end of inter
est and admiration. The phenomenon was
illustrated to thousands of spectators at
the Columbian exposition last year, but in
stead of being simply an interesting scien-
tific demonstration, as it was there regard
ed, it has latterly been applied in practi-
cal way as an everyday substitute for the
time honored forge fire. At the Edison II
Eliminating company's station at Brooklyn,
the ''water-pail FORGE" as it has been aptly
named, can be seen in daily operation, and
the practical value of its astonishing per-
foTmaEces has there been demonstrated
beyond all doubt. Across the top of an
ordinary wooden water bucket rests bar
of iron, to which the negative pole of dy-
namo is attached by wire. The other
pole of the machine is connected with
plate of copper in the bottom of the bucket.
TO bring the end of any desired bar of iron
or steel to welding heat, all that is neces-
sarY is to rest it against the bar across the
top of the bucket and dip the point into
the water within. This closes the electric
the bar becomes hot enough to be readily
worked under a blacksnith's hammer.
What actually happens when the circuit
is closed is this: The water in the bucket,
under the action of the passing current,
Immediately begins to deeompose into its
component gases, oxygen and hydrogen,
and the latter adheres in film to the sub
merged part of the metal bar, protecting it
from contact with the surrounding water.
If now the electric current were not very
strong it would cease to flow, because
of the break in the circuit made by the ny
drogen accumulation. With a sufficient
strength of current, however, the resistance
of the hydrogen envelope is overcome, and
in doing this heat is developed; sufficient
in this case to quickly bring the end of the
bar to white heat. That the water does
not quench the bar is readily explained by
the fact the hydrogen film prevents the two
from coming into actual contact. How
great the possibilities of this WATERFALL
forge are can easily be imagined. The
ordinary forge and blower and the neees-
sarily attendant coal and smoke and dust
are all entirely dispensed with, and the
outfit may be a likely feature of the ideal
blacksmith shop of the near future.-CaS-
sier's Magazine.

ENGLAND had her commonweal move
ment during the reign of Charles I.
Oliver Cromwell led the horde of down
trodden, taxed -to-death masses to Lon
don, won victories with his army of rag
mullins over the royal troops in the
war which resulted in the death on the
scaffold of Charles 1, the oppressor.
The pages of history teaches that when
the poor are driven too far they turn
and make their .oppressors suffer. It
would be well for the oppressors of the
poor today to study the book of the
past, remembering that history repeats
itself.

Hazard CircuIar.


Slavery IS likely to be ABOLISH
ed by the war power, and chattel
slavery be destroyed. This ! and
my European friends are IN favor
of, for slavery is but the owning
OF labor, and carries with II the
care of the laborer. While our
plan IS for capital to control la
Dor by controlling the wages.
This can be done by controlling
the money. The great debt tthat
capital will see to 1t is made out
of this war; must be used as the
means TO control the volume of
money. To accomplish this, the
the money must be bonded, and
the bonds must be used as the
banking basis. We are now
waiting for the secretary of the
treasury TO make the recommen-
dations to congress. 1t will not
do to allow the greenbabks to
circulate as money any length of
time, for we cannot control them.
but we can control the bonds and
through them the bank issue.

The interests of national
bankers require immediate finan-
cial legislation by congress. SID
yer, silver certificates and treas
Jury notes must be retired and ma
ltianai bank notes upon a gold
basis made the only money. This
will require the authorization Of
from s5oo. 900, 600 to 81. ooo, 900, 600
of new bonds as a basis of circu-
l1ation. You viii at once retire
lone-third of your circulation and
lcall in one-half of your loans. Be
careful to make money stringen-
cy felt among your patrons, es-
lpecially among influential busi-
mess men. Advocate an extra
session of congress for the repeal
of the purchase clause of the
sherman law, and act with the
other banks of your city in secur-
ing a large petition to congress
for its unconditional repeal, per
accompanying form. Use per-
sonal influence with congress-
men, and particularly let your
Interests be known to your sena-
tors. The future life OF national
banks as fixed and safe invest
ments depends upon immediate
faction, as there is an increasing
sentiment in favor of government
llegal-tender notes and free silver
lcoinage.

NEARLY all the great naval powers
are beginning to question not only the
efficiency. but the safety of the big
modern type of battle ship. The
French minister of Marine declares
that the great structures recently built
at Toulon viii turn upside down in the
first heavy sea. The English admiralty
entertain similar opinions. Our own
navy department is not so confident as
it was of the utility of these big fight
ing machines, and the sinking of Mello's
flagship, the Aqudaban, by torpedo
shows that the battleship is vulnerable

oned there viii have been a great deal
of money wasted upon a useless expert

FIFTY years ago the people of this
country were confined to the great
middle class. There were no very rich
and no very poor One man was as
good as another Personal worth, char
acter and ability were the passports to
society; but coincident with contrac-
ton of the currency appeared the
tramp and the millionaire, and from
the highest pedestal of equal rights the
middle class began that fatal descent
to dependency and slavery, in the same
ratio that money and monopoly arose
to the ascendant.

It's advisable to do all in your

daily and weekly newspapers,
especially the agricultural and
religious press, as viii oppose
the issuing of greenback paper

applicants who or not willing to
oppose the government issue of

for then we can better protect
each other. To repeal the law

THE Republicans of Kansas have a
decidedly east end ticket up this fall.
Morrill,, Blue, Troutman, Cole and
Stanley all live within so miles of the
Missouri line, while Anterior lives
hardly west of the center of the state.
Not one of the candidates is either a
farmer or a workingman, or the repre-
sentatives of either-but are either in
the law or banking business. How do
you like this, farmer and workingman?
