The Goodland republic. [volume] (Goodland, Kan.) 1891-1907, 1895-10-18

With the ending of the civil war
new element sprang into existence and
has so grown that today it sways
power that nothing but the ballot box
can check. It force is often felt III
judicial decisions, it dictates the action
of the legislative powers, state and ma
rional, it has invaded the sanctury aud
institutions of learning, its pen for
years has written the platforms Of both
the Democratic and Republican parties.
A handful of reformers three years ago
inaugurated q crusade against this ele-
ment, the money power, and drew up a
new declaration Of independence. The
banner of freedom then raised has
since acquired many more supporters
and will continue on until the end is
attained.

TIE Democratic candidate for sheriff
evidently believes in the efficacy of al
vertising. Last week, by petition, he
mad his name placed on the ballots a
independent candidate for sheriff, The
law requires that a separate column be
given for such cases, and as his name
is the only one on the ticket, the pub
fishing and printing will cost the coun
ty in the neighborhood Of 500. What
good this extra column is supposed to
do is not vet clear.

SILVER AND WHEAT.

A Republican paper at Topeka, Kan,
The State Journal, recently published
the following item which very plainly
illustrates the most serious effect Of
the silver question. It says:
"The Argentine Republic is expected
to export 100000 of wheat this
year. This wheat is sold in Europe for
10 TO silver dollars made from 80 to 1
american silver. Is it any wonder that
wheat commands SO low a price in the
United States when it must compete
in that kind of market. The United
States congress by Iegislating against
silver has put into the hands of Europe
4 club with which to beat the life out
of the farmers of this country"
The people will some day see that the
evil effect of our cursed contraction
policy is bound to fall with most fatal
effects on the farmers.
Even today with silver coinage sus-
pended the mining interests are not
nearly so much affected as the wheat
and cotton interests.
Specializing in our low priced silver
i building up industries in other ma
tiOns which will thrive and prosper
Ing after silver is again restored.

A HTEORIrY JUSTICE.


Justice Brown, Of the United States
supreme court, made a very wise obser-
walton when he said: @If wealth viii
not respect the rules Of common hon
esty in the use of its power, it viii have
no reason to expect moderation or dis
cretion on the part of those who resist
t its encroaehments." Every one must
see that corporate and concentrated
wealth is growing more arrogant each
year. The answer which the superin-
tendent of the Illinois coal mine gave
General Master Workman Sovereign,
'Ilet them staFve and be damed;" the
treatment of the Pullman employees;
the blacklisting Of railway men; the
Imprisonment Of Debs; the income tax
decision; the extortion and discrimina-
ton of railway corporations; the eXac-
tions of trusts, and numerous other
violations Of the rules of common hon
esty indicate that, while these wealthy
institutions depend upon the law for
support. they are by their example
teaching the people to have as little re-
spect for it as themselves When this
feeling becomes general where viii the
wealthy look for support? Without
respect for law the law is poWerless.
Honest men cannot be hired to protect
the property Of tyrants and extOrtiOn-
ers, and thieves and thugs will see no
necessity for it when they once dis
cover that they can appropriate the
property without meeting with resist
ance. Plutocracy is, fguratively speak
ing, saving the limb off between itself
and the tree which supports it,

Is THERE a POpulist or a Democrat in
Sherman county that would like to see
,he county administration go back to
he old Republican ring rule that had
the county as its mercy prior to 1890?
In those days the people had no say in
choosing candidates for office, aud d
nomination on the Republican ticket
was equivalent to an election. The
county affairs were conducted on the
plan Of how the most could be made
from Office, of which the politicians got
their share This ring was dethroned
ny the Populists in 1891, and reforms
aud reductions of taxes have followed,
although two years Of disastrous crop
failures have been experienced. The
benefit of the change was so apparent
that the rank and file of the Republi-
can party have admitted that the cOun-
ty has been we'll governed and the Of
ices filled with men that we're com
petent to perform the duties required
of them. Their satisfaction with Popu-
list government has made them luke
warm, politically, and this year the old
ring has succeeded in getting in the
saddle again. And if, by some I'M
fOrseen circumstance they should get
in power the old regime would be re-
surrected. This can be easily defeated
if Populists will go to the polls on Nov.
3, and cast straight ballot for their
ticket. They are in the majority and
if the Republican ticket OF any part of
it is elected, it will be by the votes of
Peoples party men. The Republicans
think they will get enough Populists
votes to elect a portion of their ticket,
but if the Peoples party men of Sher-
man county are of the sterling quality
EHE REPUBLIC believes them to be,
there will be no doubt about the cleo
ton of the entire Peoples party ticket
by majorities that will admit of no dis
pute,
