Some Startling Figures.

w. II. Harvey, author Of Coins
Financial School," has kept industri-
ously at work in the cause of free
silver.
Speaking generally" he said,
there never was time when fear
less and intelligent defense of the
principles of humanity was so much
needed as at present. Selfish interests
have combined and made encroach-
ments upon the prosperity of the
country until the disposition to en-.
rich ones self at the expense Of the
state has become epidemic. 1t means,
if continued, the overthrow of free in
situations. For twenty years a scien-
tlhc spollation of the people has been
in progress A sugar trust that
make 1925, 100000 in ninety days is
patent to all, but other laws equally
detrimental are passed and the peo-
pie are not able to intelligentIy I'M
derstand their operation. Oue of
this kind, and the worst in its evil
consequences ever enacted, was the
act of demonstration, whereby one
half of the primary or redemption
money of the government WAS de-
stroyed as such. 1t has gradually
brought falling prices and in its train
volume of Indebtedness, public and
private, conceded by all to be not less
than $3OOOO00O,000. THIS means an
annual interest of not less than ST.
500, 600 600 going to the money cen
ters and S2O0,000,000 annually going
to the money lenders of England
who are responsible for the scheme Of
demonstration that was played to
serve their wicked ends upon the peo-
pie of the United States. During a
period of falling prices the profits Of
production cannot cope with this enor-
nous drain upon Its resources. The
remedy is the reconciliation Of sill
YER, the doubling Of the quantity Of
primary or redemption money, and
thereby increasing prices to manufac
turers, farmers and other producers
so we can pay off this indebtedness.
Prices would be doubled bg the re-
monetization Of silver 1t is our only
salvation and is the only means by
which this indebtedness can be paid
and would thereby stop this drain on
the prosperity of the country. We
must now appeal to the patriotic peo-
pie of the United States to redeem
this country from the most destruc-
tive war ever made on its resources
or it's free institutions and we should
recognize the fact that this war is
made by the same enemy that the
United States has twice before met in
open battle-England."

Home are the cltadels Of Am erican
liberty, An attack upon the Kansas
University is, under a thin cover, an
assault upon the Kansas Public
schools, and that is war upon Amer
lcan Homes and means that the
American Flag and American Citizen
ship is to be lowered TO make room
for an Ecclesiastical Banner and a
UNCONVENTIONAL citizenship,
The entire theory underlying the
real fight upon the Kansas Univer-
slty, is wrong and dangerous, and the
more dangerous because it is made by
sincere Christians who honestly be-
lieve that the State is second to the
church creed for which they stand.
The child of any citizen of Kansas
can, if it will, graduate at the Kansas
University, There he has the advan-
tages given to the children Of the rich
and poor alike. Would there be any
justice in saying to that child
"You must be educated at a denom-
national school, or not at allp
We think not. If it were a contest
between Inhdelity and Christianity,
The CHAMPION would unhesitatingly
stand for Christianity, but when the
contest is between Ecclesiasticism and
the State Schools, The CHAMPION
stands for the Kansas schools as the
best friend of the fresides and
among the strongest bulwarks Of nat
ional life

It is said that State Accountant
Challinor did not tell the governor all
he learned about the University in the
report published, but that he furnish.
ed lot of extra stuff in a private let
ter 1t is further understood that
there IS q scrap on among the faculty,
and that from this scarce Ohallinor
received much of his inspiration
Kansas city Gazette.
1t is such idle rumors as the above
which serve we'll the purpose Of the
rival schools who seek to cripple the
State University. Kansas is justly
proud of all her colleges as she has q
right to be, but there is only danger
to them all IN the dastardly fight now
being made upon the Kansas Univer-
sity. There is very much that is
really starting to rejecting minds
when it IS considered that much of
the malicious and ignorant criticism
and venomous attacks upon the Kan
sas University come from those who
believe that there should be no col
leges save those builded, fostered
and maintained by church denomi-
nations.
Ecclesiastical schools are maintain
ed by Unconventional aid, and there
are thousands of intelligent, patriotic
people who believe that there should
be no University maintained by the
State, but that the collegiate or uni
versity education should be obtained
in UNCONVENTIONAL schools. The CHAM.
PGoN has no objection to the university
or college maintained by church de-
nominations, but 1t strenuously objects
to the fight made upon the Kansas
University by the ultra advocates of
UNCONVENTIONAL schools. If, as they
claim, no public money should be ex-
pended for a State School, then 1t is
equally true that no public money
should be expended for the district
schools in the country or the public
high schools in the cities.
Their argument proves too much
and their line Of reasoning is a dan
gerous one, for, if their logic is cor
rect, there would be no world wide
famous State University at Ann
Arbor, and none at Lincoln, at Law
renee or elsewhere, but in their stead
would stand the UNCONVENTIONAL
schools, Protestant or Catholic, and nc
American boy or girl could have the
benefit Of liberal education save
under the plans and specifications
prescribed by some church denomi
nation.

CREED AND LIFE.

The statement is sometimes made
that it matters nothing what man
believes if only his life is right. This
ia at once true and a false state
ment-true in it's literal significance,
false in its spirit and influence. II a
mans life be right in all respects,
then, indeed, it matters little, COM
paratively, what doctrines are main
tanned by him, But, on the other
hand, If his doctrines are false, they
are almost sure to be pernicious. His
false views will affect his character
His wrong opinion respecting God
will modify his estimate of what is &C.
ceptable to God. His wrong views of
himself as related to God will affect
his opinion OF what he must become
in order to fulfil his mission, His
wrong view of the way of salvation
will prevent his walking in the right
way, and may lead him to destruction
1t is futile, then, to say it matters
nothing what a man believes. We all
know that the different opinions of
men lead to different and opposite
courses of conduct. On the suppose
ton, then, that my sentiments re-
speeding the requirements of God are
right, and that many Of my neighbors
are conhding in error, common be-
nevolence will compel me to do what
can for disseminating the truth. 1t
cannot be matter Of Indifference to
me whether or no those to whom l
am attached by many and strong
bonds are deceived IN regard to the
essential doctrines Of religion. / sm
not true to the promptngs Of a kind
heart, il | never make any exertions
to propagate essential truth, and to
convince men of their error who deny

AN UNLAWFUL CONTRACT

In another part of today's issue OF The
Herald will be found brief but interest
ing statement of little business deal be-
tween the city and two of its EN- rIoy es
in the school department relating to the
supply OF fuel for the high school. The
sale of oil for heating the city's upper ed
ucational mill, by two lady teachers of
the public school. exhibits commndable
spirit of enterprise on the part of the
young ladies, and may be and probably is
an entirely innocent transaction. but.
nevertheless, 1t should be terminated at
once. The transaction is distinctly un-
lawful. The law governing the pure ass
of supplies for the city's institutions
plainly declares that no contract for any
of such supplies shall be entered into
with any officer or emrloye of the mu-
nicipality.
This law may or may not be expedie nt.
there is much 10 say for and against it,
hut it exists and should be observed.
The purchase of supplies for the city is
a most delicate function and it will be
safest for the officials who do the con-
tracing and more satisfactory to the peo-
pie who pay the bills, if in both letter
and spirit all laws relating to the subject
are scrupulously ab6ed by.
The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1895-11-09

expected increased wages as result of
that law. but they were wofully disap-
pointed. Among those thus fooled were
the wage slaves OF Andrew Carnegie.
They needed more wages bad enough, but
the looked.for increase failed to put in an
appearance. The workers did not ,are
ask for it. but they did ask that their
wages should not be cut down. Even
that modest request was denied, and the
wage slav,s themselves were cut down by
Pennsylvania militia and Pinkerton hire
lings
Viewed from any standpoint that has
truth and justice for a basis. protection
ism is morally wrong and economically
unwise. 1t is morally wrong because it
takes from the people portion o: their
earnings to enrich a few favored pets
which. il the language of the United
States supreme court. lis none the less
robbery because done under the forms of
law and called taxation" 1t is econom-
ically unwise, because it hampers produc-
ton, burdens all forms of industry. en-
courages greed, and retards the progress
of the nation
1t is to be hoped that in the coming pres
idential campaign the lines will bs clear
ly drawn between protectionism on the one
side and an epligb tened retenue policy
on the other. McKinleyism in any form
and under any name is at war with JUS
tice and common sense. The people who
love justice should prepare to grapple
WITH and throttle the monster whenever
and wherever it shows itself.

BY all means most strenuous effort

PRoTECTIoNlsM's FALSE PRETENcEs

Mr.. Bayard in his address at Edin-
burg struck the keynote of true Jefferson
ian democracy when he denounced pro-
tectionism as nothing more nor less than
rank paternahsm. These are not his
words, but they enrbody the idea ex.
pressed by the am bassaGor. Protection
ism is paternalism in one OF its worst
forms. and it is precisely in harmony
with the socialstic theory that restriction
is the road to prosperity and happiness.
Protectionism does not mean the raising
of public revenue for public use. but the
opposite of that. A protective tariff is
called by its advocates tariff for revenue
with incidental protection" In reality
IL iS tariff for protection bordering on
prohibition. with precious little public
revenue. Its legitimate effect is TO re.
duce the revenue Tor public use and IN
directly increase revenue for private
pockets. The very title of the Mckinley
bill shows that it was not intended to
raise public revenue. but to do the other
thing. 1t was entitled An Act to Reduce
the Revenue, etc., etc. 1t did reduce the
revenue, Sc FAR as the public treasury was
concerned. though it increased the in
comes of rich manufacturers and pam.
pered trusts for whose special benefit the
Mckinley chicken was hatched. Even
had its adoption resulted in an increase
of wages to the employees OF those pro
tected firms and com bines, the Mckinley
law could not have been justified, since
civil government has no right TO legislate
in the special interests Of any class. rich
or poor. employer or employee, million
aire or wage worker.
But wage workers were not benefited By
shat piece of Legislative Partially. On
the contrary, their lot was made the
harder by il. Their wages were either
kept at the old standard or lowered. while
the cost of living was increased. A great
