Tie Republicans met Saturday and
put a ticket in the field that bears the
mark Of the opposition Of the Fates.
The ticket is weak, and is doomed to
certain defeat at the polls on Nov. 5.
OF the men that compose the ticket
some cur competent and some are not
competent. But TIE REPUBLIC need
say nothing of those men who have
been deluded into accepting a nomina-
ton that can lead to nothing but humi-
iation and defeat. The record of the
party-eounty, state and national are
against them and their success. But
even more than this the Republican
candidates have in opposition to them
a party and candidates, sans reproche.
and in whom the people have the ut
most confidence. The people have
trusted the Peoples party and its rep
resentatives in the past and know that
they can safely do so in the future, and
on election day the franchised citizens
of Sherman county will march to the
polls and deposit ballots that will give
victory to the Peoples party candidates
and leave the dregs Of defeat for The
representatives Of the g. o. p.

THE sHaAR TRnsT

1t is the popular belief that the sugar
trust, by grace of a senate combine, -
got all that it wanted under the Wilson
tariff law. There is reason to think
this a mistake, The sugar trust got
much, but it wants more, and is plan
ming to take it.
To that end it is creating a scare. Its
margin of profit now is 1O6 cents a
pound, and at present prices some for
eign refined sugar is coming in. The
sugar trust people are saying that they
are threatened with ruin and all that
sort Of thing, and predicting that 50O,-
goo bags of foreign sugar will be i'm
ported to ruin the home market. They
are getting ready to go before congress
as aD infant industry threatened by
pauper labor and to pray for the relief
Of larger protection.
The Journal of Commerce ably pricks
this bladder of pretense by furnishing
some facts and figures which is ex-
tended somewhat by calculations Of
others.
First Of all, half a million bags of
sugar amount to only 5000 tons, while
the annual consumption of sugar in
the country is about 100000 tons.
What appreoiable effect can the impor-
tation of $4,000 tons have upon the
business Of Fefiners who sell ], 100000
tousg
Again, if there is any importation Of
refined sugar under existing conditions
it is due to the fact that the trust is
exaeting an excessive tribute from the
people by charging an exhorbitant
| price for its product.
The present margin between raw and
refined sugar is LOS cents per pound,
or about s36,O00,OOO per annum on the
entire consumption Of the country.
Allowing for the business OF the indie
pendent refners. this means an annual
margin of more than 100000 to the
trust.
The margin IS very much greater
than is necessary and is maintained,
without doubt, simply because, While it
lets in enough foreign sugar to whine
about before congress, It yields a stup-
endoBs profit to the trust. During the
first half Of 1895 the trust did q profit
able business On a margin of .S5l, OF
about four Hfths the present one.

AS was noted in last weeks REPUBLIC
the Democrats of Sherman county met
and put ticket in the field. Their
reasons for doing so are as opaque as
the blotches that have accumulated
about the escutcheon of the modern
Democracy. The party in Kansas is an
unknown quantity for the reason that
the rank and file refuse to follow from
the honest and straightforward princi-
pies of Jefferson and Jackson to the
traitorous ideas of CIevelandism. The
very fact that only about 10 were
found at the mass convention and that
at least two of the ticket we're hereto
fore classed otherwise than Democrats,
proves that the party in Sherman
county has no standing. AS was said
before the reasons for the ticket we're
opaque, and still are unless those that
engineered the convention we're work
ingfor the interests of the Republicans
and put these men in the field to be
traded on and slaughtered on election
day.
The REPUBLIC has no harsh words for
the men composing the Democratic
ticket of Sherman county, most of
them are personally known to be among
the best citizens of the county, and did
they represent any other but party
that after long years of defeat had
come into power only to betray its con-
stituents and so comfort its principles
that what was once known to be right
is now called wrong, there might be a
chance for their success. But as it is,
it is doubtful if they even poll the 1O8
votes that was cast for the Democratic
nominee for governor last fall.
Western Democrats realize that
modern Democracy and Republicenism
is one and the same; that Wall street
owns both, and that the opposition to
the un-American policy that for the
past quarter of a century has proven
such curse to national prosperity
and has forced thousands, yes millions,
of honest and industrious men into the
great tramp army, must come and will
come only through the agency of the
Peoples party, and that it will be a
waste of opportunity and stultifca-
ton Of their integrity to support any
other but the party Of equal rights.

WBAT is the limit of Republican
faisehOod when that party can make
the people believe that talking for sill

for gold in congress is bimstailism? Il
there is any limit to the deception and

tizsd silver and bas voted in congress

years it cannot be found in the stupi-
dity Of silver Republicans, who viii

TH0sE who have had an opportunity
TO note the platforms of the old parties
both east and vest, can never doubt
the color Of the money they viii de.

forms call Tor gold only, and west, like
in the Sherman county Republican
convention, a eowardly and Submissive
silence is maintained on finance.
These not for are against is a rule

How LONG is it possible for the Re
publican party to make the people be-
lieve that it is for free coinage of sill
yer, when nearly all of the Republicans
in both houses of congress invariably
vote for the gold standard? A party
which demonetized silver, and has ever
since voted for the gold standard with
out detection, has much reason to hope
TO be able to lie out of the responsible
lily of destroying silver as a money
metal a few years longer.

BEATEN BY LOW-DOWN METHODS,


False Reports Circulated Against Re-
publican Candidate by Republicans.
L. R. Dayton would have been the
Republican nominee for sheriff had
not friends of the opposition branded
him thief without a hearing. There
was no question but what his nomina-
ton would have been had on the first
ballot, but for these reports which had
no foundation OF color of truth.
The report stated that when Mr.,
Dayton was marshal of Goodland be
stole the city water. How or in what
manner some of the informed did not
know, but others we're told that he
collected large amounts of water rents
which he appropriated for his own use.
Of course town delegates who are con-
versant with the system of water rent
ais could not be approached on account
of their knowing that Nh. Dayton, as
marshal, would not act as treasurer.
but country delegations who knew
nothing whatever about the duties of
the city police department took the re-
port as true and turned their support
to other candidates. Politics is a
shrewd game at best, but there is no
need of attaching a mans character,
nor any honor in defeating a man by
such methods.

cents and your corn for 10 cents a
bushel, and then down goes your pro
pertg.
Bankers ought to favor sound money;
it cannot be cOrnered by Wall street
and Beacon street. Silver was demone-
tized in 1873 and what was called the
compromise bill Of 1878 provided that
silver should be receivable for all debts
unless other money vas specified in the
contract.
The Debtor Has No show.
"This gave the money dealers the
right to say what should be money.
The debtor is always in the hands Of
the creditor when he goes to borrow
money. He needs the money and this
gives the creditor the opportunity to
dictate terms.
THE bankers tell US that we have
plenty of money and in fact too much
since We have learned the use of bank
checks, drafts and the telegraph. But
as matter of fact as commerce and
production increases and our indus
tries become more diversified we need
more money. They tell US there has
been plenty of silver coined since 1873.
Money is a science and the relation of
money and credit money is not always
understood. You might just as we'll
stamp a credit dollar on piece of
paper as on a piece of silver. If the
silver coined since 1873 is money why
don't Mr.. Cleveland pay out silver in
stead of borrowing gold?
"In the city of Washington nothing
but gold is money. That is what causes
money to be so dear and what you have
to sell to be cheap. Have yonr taxes
gone down? Salaries are just as high
now as they were in 1873. That of the
president has been doubled since that
time. In 1873 it took about 1900
bushels of wheat to pay his salary and
now it takes 100000 bushels. The
money now never reduces official sal
aries. They do all in their power to get
the f1ce-holders away from the pro-
ducers.
Tories Talked That Way.
"They say we talk and destroy conf
dence and disturb business. That is
just the way the tories used to talk
during tue revolutionary war. would
like to know if there is a business man
here who would undertake to do $780,
600 business on $4,000 and depend on
confidence for the $4,000 The gold
standard fellows are the fellows who
try to lift themselves by the boot
straps. They want to perform infpossi-
bilities.
There is not money enough and the
debts in this country are more than all
the money in it. The silver men are
only asking for what is right, but sor-
did interests and desire for gain rules
in this latter part of the 18th century.
Money and civilization is science and
money is the blood of commerce. If
you allow leeches to suck one-half your
blood you cannot have wealth, neither
can we have prosperity if we allow sell
fish interests to destroy one-haIf of our
money.
Humanity should be the corner
stone of our political edifce. You
ought to tell your preachers to talk for
humanity instead of for the rich pew
holders. Now, ladies and gentlemen, I
have spoken under difficulties and
doubtless have not been able to make
myself heard by you all In closing I
will say, have in mind the best interests
of humanity and your country"

AN important case will soon be tried in
Pittsburg, and it will be watched with
interest by liquor dealers generally through
out the state. Mrs. Bridget Brennan has
brought suit against saloon keeper named
Rau for damages arising out of the abuse she
has sustained at the hands of her husband,
who got the liquor that made him drunk at
Rau's saloon. Mrs. Brennan says that she
has warned Rau several times not to sell
liquor to her husband, and told him that her
husband was in the habit of assaulting her
when under the influence Of the liquor he
obtained at the Rau saloon. Rau disregarded
this warning, continued to sell liquor to Mr.,
Brennan, and one day the latter while
drunk, returned home from Rau's saloon and
numerically beat his wife. This was too
much for the good wife, and she brought suit
against Rau for 81 900 damages.

Senator Hill as a Lecturer.

MILWAUKEE, Nov. Ex-senator Hill was
greeted by an audience of 400 people at his
first appearance as a public lecturer in this
city last night. The prices of admission to
the theater were too high, and that is
given as an explanation of the rather small
attendance. The lecture was on the sub
ject of Liberty" it's underlying idea be-
ing that the safest kind of liberty and gov
ernment was that which did not attempt
to legislate in matters of personal customs
and habits. He proclaimed his sympathy
with the Cubans in their present struggle
for independence, and denounced the adj
Grafton for titles which was growing in
certain quarters of America.
