Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1895-08-16

KANSAS farmers are ''in the SWIM SO far as c
crops areoceneerned, this year. Three-fourthsI
of EASTERN, Kansas corn is made, and the othef
fourth has nearly got there. Now, if the rail- i
roads don't get out of cars when the crop is
ready for market, and stay out till spectators
gobble the surplus at half-price from
the farmers, Kansas will take in a mint Of
money this winter If the government owned =
the railroads, car famine would nevescheece
the producer and stuff the pockets of speculate
i've greed.

Do YOU hear anything through the old party
papers about want and idleness and suffering OF
late? Do you suppose there are rone? II you
do, you are fooled. But, the edict of the
bosses has gone forth that such reports build
up opposition to monopolies and to Wall street
methods They make the sheep that ate being
shorn kick So the Associated Press dispatches
talk only of prosperity, In the face OF the fact
that more people are out of employment now
than ever before. More European paupers
have the place of American laborers. Pauper-
ism Is OH the increase.

REPUBLICAN redemption is costly, but itmust
be had. The part of such redemption has, so
far, been secured by falsehoods SO base as to
shame any ordinary liar. These lies are begin
ming to REBELLION their authors. Joe Hudson
will have to- al. an searg day, send requisition
for new supply, especially if he expects TO-
down Ed Snow. We have been trying to keep
tab on the redemption going on, but are at sea-.
The next session of the Legislature will be call
ed upon to provide for the expense of the Nor
rill redemption, and then we will know. I'm
til then, the play of redemption will continue
with the chief actors.

There is generally fun in whisking

there is fun for the knowing, who have
learned by experience TO brace themselves
well beforehand. There are generally some
persons in a crowded car who are taken
unawares and are made to do the most
ridiculous things.
1t Is no uncommon thing to see man
standing in the passage suddenly precipi-

apologize, as suddenly pumped down In
the lap of the lady behind him as the car
