TITS LAWFUL TO DECEIVE.

Undoubtedly, Republican leaders in Kansas
and elsewhere believe that it is lawful to de-
ceive the voters of their party, and undoubted-
w. Republican voters either love to be deceived
or are too dull to perceive that their leaders pre-
tend to believe in one thing and work for an
other.
In Kansas, until recently, at least, large
number of Republicans were supposed to be IN
favor of free silver (the Senator Plumb Repub-
lcans) but, in the late election, the free silver
element of the Republican party has retired to
its hole, and, presumably, pulled its hole in
after it-a fitting thing for it to do since it sup
ported set of men who are monometalists to
the core.
We are not guessing, but are justified in
asserting, judging from the expression OF lead
ing Republican papers and politicians, that in
the near future, the Republican party will de-
clare against silver, and on the heels OF its pre-
tense of being in its favor.
Now, it has not been very long since very
respectable portion, if not majority, of the Re-
publican party was in favor of free silver.
With such men as Plumb, Jones, Teller and
others for leaders, silver, ten years ago, was as
popular in the West as gold, and few men
dreamed that it would ever be demonetized,
much less in so short period. Whence the
change, and why a? 1t has not been shown that
silver injured the masses, either East or West.
In fact, there has been little attempt to do so,
and, as yet the mass of Republican voters are
in line only because they pin their faith to their
leaders, right or wrong, and, as yet, the Re
publican leaders are able to deceive their follow
np, either as to their intentions or the effect OF
Republican financial policy.
1t is lawful to deceive, not only the enemy,
but friends lawful to lead an unsuspecting con-
stituency to its ruin in its happiness and pros
perity, is Republican leadership.
Doubtless, John Sherman, Reed or Mckinley
know that monometalism must be detrimental
to the masses, and especially to the debtor, and,
If they were unsefsh and patriotic, their leader
ship would be blessing to the masses; but,
since those men are benefited by monometalism,
they attempt, and, to large extent, succeed in
making the masses believe that policy that is
beneficial to them individually is good for the
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1895-01-03

masses Thus, the interests of the masses are
sacrificed, and, too, under the guise of friend
ship.
According to the scriptures, the hottest place
in Hades is reserved for the false spiritual teach
er. While the political teacher Of false prin-
ciples may not fall SO low as the spiritual
teacher of false doctrine, yet ought he not be
given as low place, ethically, as any liar and
hypocrite We think so.
Ex-senator Ingalls, is not the author of "It is
lawful to deceive" and John Sherman is not
the first disciple. Satan, in the Garden OF
Eden, is the first example we have in the his
tory of mankind of deception in the guise OF
friendship. Since then, Satan has had an in
Vulnerable lot of imitators the latest of whom
are the so-called Republican statesmen, and the
most honest is ex-senator ingalls,, since he ad-
mitted what others of his fellows are too
cowardly to admit.
But, honesty in politics is as much right and
as much to be desired as elsewhere, and if re-
publican institutions are to be preserved, the
voter will have to look up honest men for the
several offices of Our republic. Any other
course involves danger, and possibly dissolution,
of republican form of government, and surely
we are justified in saying that voting for bad
men, and giving them control of the destiny of
Our republic, is supreme folly.
But, so far as we can see, things will 60 on
as they are, for while. A large number of
the human race, seem to have been born with
ringsin their noses and strings attached, and are
led hither and thither as easily as bullocks.
Men of commanding genins understand the
process of seizing the strings and corraling the
herds, and, so, perfect emancipation for the
human race is always, like Ell Dorado, some
distance ahead. The fatal trust of our Mother
Eve is so imbedded in Our nature that its takes
men like Jesus, spiritually, or like Washington,
politically, to lead us Alright. AS to whether
a whole nation, or even majority of the peo
pie, can be bred up to Washington's plane of
independence is yet question, but self-govern-
ment calls for casting aside of leadership, in
at least the blindly accepting another's creed or
platform-the acceptance, without question or
thorough investigation of another's claim.

THE INGALLS, BOOM.

AS there is quite an effort being made to get
up senatorial boom for John ]. ingalls,, we
have concluded to help the boom along by CIV
ing picture of the ilustrious gentleman, this
week. He does not take much interest in the
matter, but a little band of hero-worshippers
seem determined to force him upon public notice,
although they know full we'll that ingalls, stands
no chance so long as Hoods and Leland's bar'ls
and Burton's bawdy-house are in the race. I'm
fortunately, we did not get the irrigation plank
in the platform, but, then, as ingalls, wobbles
good DEAL and don't really stand firm on any
platform, it makes little difference.

ecutive committee.

authors.

be pursued by the Prohibition party. Nor do I
claim to possess judgment superior to our lead

have from time to time indicated what be-
lieved to be best to insure success. Among
other things have regarded union Of reform
forces as not only desirable, but absolutely es-
sential to party growth, and party growth abb
solutely necessary to sustain party life. To
bring about such union it has seemed to me that
our work on the rostrum, throughth the press, and
party literature, should be as broad and COM
prehensive as all the declarations of principles
set fort in our national platform, that part of
these principles should be referred to as "divid-
ing issues" nor should their discussion be cot
fined merely to their comparison" with som.
other issue, to minify one audmagnify the other;
but every issue should stand upon its own
merits and be presented fully and fairly to the
people.
we PrOmD1t1OnlStS would not IoI mOment
think of uniting with any other organization
upon condition that we should subordinate all
other issues to the one issue of finance, tariff or
transportation, nor will any organization, and
but very rarely an individual, come to us upon
condition that all other issues shall be subordin-
ated to the one issue of prohibition.
While the rehearsal in the committees ad-
dress of facts in relation to the evils of the
liquor traffic, with which we have all been ia
miliar for years, will be a solace to select and
ever faithful few who can always be depended
upon and need no exhortation to keep them in
line, the general tendency of the address, in my
Judgment will be to check party growth, aud
make union of reform forces utterly impossi-
BILE, and without such union all that is evil in
government, and which good citizens ought to
unite to get rid of, will continue to rule this
nation. JOHN P. ST. JOHN.
