In the midst of the silver discus =
sion it would be we'll to bear in
mind that the Peoples party plat
form has and has had from the start
a clause like this:
We demand the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold at the pres
ent legal ratio Of 16 tO1.
When Republicans try to crowd
Populists off their platform this
ought to be pulled on them and a
demand made for the clause of a
like character in their own platform
Should they pull their vague and
indefinite expression upon you, cite
them to their record and tell them
the proof of the pudding is the eat
ing thereof.

One OF our patrons propounds the
following inquiry to US: "What has
been the cost of the various investi-
cations by the state Administrations"
The Topeka Journal figures out the
Chase investigation at $500. the
Rogers investigation at $4,000 and
the Householder affair and insane
asylum at $4,000. 1t is safe to say
that $4,000 will not cover the er-
pense. They come high, but the
state (ofices) must be wholly re-
deemed. There have been some
slight exposures which deserve con-
demnation, bat nothing worse than
has continually been practiced by
Republicans, according to the con-
fession of the reports themselves.

A conference of all silver men has
been called to meet at Topeka on the
18th inst. We are friendly to silver,
but when it is announced that at
this meeting the ACCESSIBILITY of FORM
ing a new silver party is to be con-
sidered, we hesitate and grow sus-
piciOus. Our firm conviction is that
the Republican party must be relied
upon for all relief needed in the line
ofremonetizing silver.-Mail.

the line at the exit threshold Of the
Republican party. Party first,

Col. W. R. Morrison of Illinois,
in answer to question from re.
porter Of the St. Louis Republic as
to whether or not the advance in
prices would not molify the sentiment
Of the farmers for free silver, puts
the truth in nutshell like this:
Prices have improved somewhat,
especially as to wheat in the North
west, also as TO cotton in the South,
but the last years crop was sold by
the growers at very low prices, and
before the prices increased. Products
not consumed we're already in the
hands of the large operators, combi-
nations, etc, so that a comparatively
little OF the recently increased prices
reached the producer. Farmers who
felt obliged TO sell their wheat soon
after harvest at so to so cents, are
buying it back in flour at 80 cents.
The cost Of transportation has been
generally maintained, sometimes in
creased"

United States. We have furnished
more gold and silver and more mer.
hcandise than we have ever received
from her. "This DRAIN" truly says
the Independence Star and Kansan,
"is as sure TO bankrupt this nation
as night is to follow day. Indeed, in
the same connection with the state.
ment quoted, Mr.. Depew says if our
foreign creditors should foreclose
their mortgages it would endanger
the stability of every bank, derange
every exchange and paralyze every
industry in the United States. And
this debt which we could not pay as
it is, is steadily growing greater; and
it was hailed as an evidence of re-
turning prosperity short while ago
when We added fifty million dollars
to it by selling that amount of secur.
tiles abroad. A little Of the Inde-
pendent spirit Of the men who threw
overheard the tea in Boston harbor
is needed in this country today"
The whole thing in a nut shell is
this: Silver is one of Americas
leading products. By wicked ma
nipulation and downright treason
we are prevented from utilizing it in
payment of our debts. Such men
as John Sherman, John G. Carlisle
and Grover Cleveland have betray-
ed their people and sold their honor
to foreign foe. And still We have
men who continue to accept their
inconsistent arguments as good log
ic, largely for the sake Of bolstering
up their old party.
Men, be slaves to party no longer.
Let us shout for country first and

The Topeka Press charges that 81
chairs for which the state paid $500
each last winter have disappeared
from Representative hall, and wants

Secretary Carlisle said in his
Memphis speech that the fact that
free coinage Of silver would enable
US to pay our debts easier, cut no
figure in the general argument, be-
cause the debts were largely due
from one citizen to another and that
the gain and loss would thus largely
balance against each other. The
learned secretary well knew, although
he failed 10 state it, that the loss, il
any, would be sustained by the
wealthy and the gain pass to the
credit of the debtor. He wilfully
errs, however, when he says the
debts are held in this county. They
are largely hypothecated in Eng
land, and, according to figures made
by Chauncey NJ. Depew in making
an an;i-silver argument, about five
thousand millions Of American Sc
cureties are held abroad, necessitat-
ing an annual interest payment Of

More about the Fraud of 1898.

The publication of "The fraud OF
1898" last week awakened memories
of the campaign Of that year in the
minds Of all VOICE readers. They
remember we'll how faithfully the
Standard, then edited by Capt. F. H.
Gilmore, carried out its part Of the
contract; how it promulgated that
mo self-respecting Democrat could
vote for single Populist" etc.
And fully as we'll do they remember
with what fidelity Commissioner
Faurot performed his share Of the
deal, and how the Monitor-Pres ca
vorted and caroused. The Repub-
lican ticket was elected and the peo-
pie looted the bill.
The scheme at first was to bulldoze
the comfy clerk, w. H. Carnes, in
to giving the job of printing the bal
lots to the Standard. but Mr.. Carnes
refused to do this and was warmly
supported in this course by his dep
uty, Billy Maddy, who suffered the
penalty for his "oficious" meddling,
as we shall show later. The ring.
sters then went to Campbell & Hood
and asked them to make an estimate
of their profit on the job and they
would see if the fluids could not be
raised. Campbell & Hood offered
to yield the job to the Standard up
on payment Of 800. The money
was raised and rendered to them but
they had reconsidered and demand
ed 5000. This amount was then
raised and rendered but they had
again reconsidered and demanded
$500. This made the ringsters mad
and they proceeded to set up the
county printing deal with Faurot a.
related last week.
On account of his "officiousness'
Billy Maddy incurred the hostilit.

gave it out cold in the Standard tina
no man who would retain him a

try to run the Office without Mr.
