DODGING THE LAW.

The gold clause being injected into
executed, with the steady appreciation
of that metal, is going TO work still
greater and irreparable damages to the
people of this country if it does not
indeed end in a financial collapse. The
gold borrowed today stands for more
than its borrowed value each succeed
ing month. With the lapse of time
it becomes injustice heaped upon in
justice for the debtor. Under the
single gold standard a promise to re-
pay in gold at the end of a term of
years or months means a promise to
repay more than was borrowed. And
individually and nationally we are be-
ing bound hand and foot by the power
that forced the single standard.
And so the money lenders and the
gold manipulatorS add TO their own
profits by insisting that all bonds is
sued by the government shall be pay
able in gold, interest and principal.
All the recent ISSUES will be redeemed
in gold. Cleveland and Carlisle and
their contracting syndicate fixed that.
However, there is no law for their
dickerS. The law or statute expressly
provides and specifies that bonds shall
be paid in lawful money of the Unit
Ell States" But with the United
States treasury left TO the care of q
money lenders syndicate what couId
be expected: True the secretary OF
the treasury announces that the syndi-
cate protector" has been dispensed
with, but as it is acknowledged that
some S2n,0o0,Oo0 Of Outstanding bal
ances will soon call for settlement the
people may look for another deal.
onder the policy of the treasury de-
partment great wrong and Injustice
has been perpetrated and perpetuated
upon the American people by the re-
1usal to pay in the lawful money"
BY an illegal discrimination against
silver the nations burdens are being
piled mountain high and higher until
the people assert themselves.
As gold goes up everything else goes
down. The single-cinchers hold that
the cost of production has fallen in pro-
portion 10 the falling prices. That is
not true; but if it were where is the
debtor whose obligation was incurred
before the appreciation of the money
standard: Under recommendation the
benefits and advantages go to the cred
itor-against the many, the debtor.

Hest feeling for Mr.. Harvey and are glad
of his success, for it argues the great

the matter OF his keeps and salary will be

TOO MANY OFFICERS.

The Leavenworth Times criticizes
the unnecessary number of public Of
ficials that the people of Kansas are
forced to support under the laws Of
the state, that paper devOting whole
column in innumerating some of the
many extravagancies, dwelling at
length upon the abuses in the line Of
the unwarranted amount paid for state
printing. Every newspaper in the
state could well afford to devote like
space to the office mania. This should
be done in the interest of the Overbur-
dened taxpayers as well as in self
defense. There are twice too many Of
fees and every succeeding legislature
adds to the number. There are not
only too many officers but they are
paid too much. The Times cites the
fact that Leavenworth has three JUS
tees Of the peace and a police judge
with total income of $1,000 a year,
when one judicial officer could dispose
of the whole business at cost of
$1,000.
The case OF Wichita is like that of
IeavenwOrth. In addition to three
justices of the peace and police judge
and their constables, there is the city
government of mayor and city council
and on top Of these a police commits
sion and city marshal and police force.
Then comes an assistant states prose-
cutting attorney in addition to the
countys prosecuting attorney, all exc
cutive and administrative officers and

but all from the people. And these
are but a starter on the total number
OF officials pertaining to the city and
county.

STORIES OF THE WEST.
The Fab of Tubb's Band.

Boggy town had three wards. And for
general, all-around, contentious politics.
BoSgy town took second place to no
city in the west. So it happened that
when silver cornet' band was organ
lied, there was prodig;ous amount of
work in the naming of it. Tubbs and
Crump We're the two political leaders in
Doggy town. and the organizers of the
band meant to make capital out of that
fact. If Tubs subscribed the more
money to the organization, it would be
known as ''The Tubbs Band However
If Cruinp put up the more cash, it would
be the "Crump Band
The long and short of it was that T1bbs
outbid Crump, and THE Tubbs Band it
was. Crump was sore" Despite his
enmity. however. the band went on prac-
ticing, TO the great edification of Tubbs
The atmosphere of Boggy Town pulsated
with the musical scale. The sound of
the horses hooves finally began to go up
and down the scale in the ears of the
villagers. The hammer of the carpenter
also climbed up and down in their mag
nation. Everything audible took on the
fashion and patterned after the Tubb's
Band. which practiced nightly. For all
except Crump. His political star was
waning and there was no music in the
horses hoof or the carpenters hammer
for him.
II was all arranged that the band should
parade the street for the first time one
Saturday afternoon. And it did. There
was Jimmy Sullivan playing the b fiat

A p1cKER FOR sPoILs.


The principles and the platforms Of
the Democratic and Pepulist parties
agree on nothing. The Omaha plat
form which sets out the faith and de-
sires Of the Populist party of the coun-
try, and the Chicago platform upon
which Cleveland was chosen president
are so wide apart and as sQuareiy OPP
posed to each other in every particular
as it was possible for men to devise or
declare. When these two opposing
political forces therefore come together
for the purpose of nominating ticket
in common it can mean but one thing,
and that thing is Office for the men who
effect the combination. Every pr1ncl-
pie held by the two parties is by such
action thrown to the winds to give
few men chance to get paying" jobs.
The election Of such a ticket is the
triumph of no principle or policy, but
means simply place. A fusion victory
is nothing for the Populists party or
its doctrines, nothing for the Demo-
cratic party and its principles, only for
the few, and places for the ones who
manipulated the situation in their own
individual interests.
The election Of a fusion ticket
strengthens neither party to it, but
weakens both. The man who believes
in the doctrines of the Populist party
and votes for a fusion nominee be-
comes simply the tool of dOuble-ring
of political bosses who are seeking
soft snaps at the expense of the prin-
ciples of the man who votes for their
unnatural combination. No reliance
upon principles is possible. 1t is but
an unblashing appeal to the prejudices
of the voter who is supposed to be will
ing to sacrifice his principles for a
chance to spite somebody.
This is true. No sound thinking man,
be he Populist, Democrat or Republi-
can, can deny its self-evident sound
ness. The Populist platform of prin
ciples stand for something or nothing.
If for something then fusion is indefen-
sible. Democracy means something OF
If nothing then fusion can
do it no harm. There can be no logical
fusion of candidates without a fusion
of platforms. A ticket run on two op-
posing platforms is swindle upon its
face. There can be no truth or hon
esty of purpose in it. A candidate
must be for one thing of the other. If
he says he is for both he is either de-
ceiying himself or trying to deceive the
man whose vote he is soliciting. 1t is
worse than cowardice, it is falsehood.
Nothing pure or honest can be mon
grel. To vote for a candidate who is
running on two different platforms.

every country that wants gold Dur
ing the year ending September 18th
the Bank of England has gained $25,-
10000 in gold, the Bank of France
S23.51O.OOO, Austria-Hungary, S212.-
3OO, 900. and Germany about $4,000, 600.
The United States, alone of all the
governments which maintain the gold
basis, seems TO be utterly pOwerless to
protect its gold reserve. The secretary
Of the treasury declines to follow the
example of the Bank of France, the
fiscal agent of the French government,
which protects its gold by redeeming
its notes in silver, and the consequence
is that when any government Of Eu-
rope desires to replenish its stock of
gold it does so at the expense Of the
United States treasury by Offering to
bankers here an extra commission, or
interest on the money in transit, which
practically amounts to a premium on
gold.
1t is stated on good authority that in
addition to the S2,JOO.OOO gold with
drawn from the treasury last week for
shipment to Berlin, there is demand
from the same quarter for $5,OOO,OO0
more, to be shipped before October 10.
The needs Of Germany man not be
satisfied even with this amount, and
if much more gold goes out a bond
Issue will be inevitable.
Thus the American people, under the
present system, are taxing themselves
to enable the government fiscal insti-
buttons of Europe to replenish their
gold supply. That the people of these
European governments are also taxed
is small consolation to us.
