ENGLAND has been systematically
enriching herself at the expense of 9th.
er nations for many years. Every time
she has succeeded in inducing another
country to abandon the coinage of sill
yer, large amount of the metal thus
deprecated has been dumped into the
British market and purchased at a low
price for use in her colonies and other
silver using countries. She buys from
these countries with cheap silver and
sells to the world for gold Is it any
wonder that she controls the world s
markets and the worlds finances? The
United States is the only country on
the globe able to break the spell of her
thralIdom. She can do it by opening
her minis to the free coinage of the
worlds silver at l6 to ! and it can be
done in no other way. That is the
work which lies before the congress
which will meet in December.-State
Journal.

THOSE who know Josh Jones will
never raise an argument touching his
qualification for the Office of county
treasurer;it is only those who have new
er made his acquaintance or who have
never seen any of his clerical work who
will question his ability in that line.
But lest some should think we are only
talking at random, we will say that
Mr.. Jones has been in various branches
OF business at different places during
the past. He has been in the mercantile
business in Breckenridge, Mo. for a
number OF years and had personal SUI
pervlsion over the different depart.
ments, keeping his own books in an
up-to-date systematic manner. He
has also been in similar business and
occupied the same position in the cities
of Mountain Grove. Mo. and Wichita.
Kansas. MIR. Jones IS q highly educat-
ed man and in every respect the peer
OF any candidate on the republican
ticket, and we think the superior. AS
penman heis extraordinarily efficient:
as book-keeper he is equal to the best:
and ii you want to discuss science you
will find IN Josh an able colleague. No.
dear voter. don't think that when you
cast your vote for j. S. Jones you are
voting for an incompetent man. A
more competent man than Josh has
never inhaled the free air of Barber
county. Fleet him and you viii find
that all we say is true.

AS TIME rolls on, it becomes more ap-
parent that the people of the second
commissioner district made no mistake
when they selected John Wyer for their
commissioner. AS the state of Indi.
ana once furnished congressman who
was long known as the watchdog of the
United States treasury, so has the
second district furnished commission
or who can justly be called the watch.
dog of the Barber county treasury. We
have never attended a session of COM
missioners' court where we noticed a
more earnest desire on the part of ANY,
one to protect the taxpayers, than we
did in Mr.. Wyer during the past session.
John has never voted wrong on any
question of public Importance since he
assumed the duties of his official DO
sition. The peoples party and the
citizens of Barber county have reasons
to feel proud of such representative
on the board.

SOME time since the old party papers
reported that the populiist state con
vention defeated a free silver resolu-
ton and endorsed the gold standard
system. Some Dopulists have given
credit to the statement and for that
reason we brand it as a lie. Here is
the Maryland populist resolution On
the money question:
We condemn both the democratic and
republican administrations for redeem
ing the outstanding treasury notes or
greenbacks as being without authority
of law, aud demand that future ex.
changes. il any, be made for silver in.
stead of gold. The financial question
having been made the leading issue,
we commend united effort for its
early settlement. and to that end de
mand the free and unlimited coinage
OF silver at the ratio Of Is to without
waiting consent or pleasure of any 9TH
er nation.

n DISPATCH to the Wichita Eagle
from Pratt of Saturday in relation to
the recent decision of the supreme
court holding the act abolishing sever
al Judicial districts, valid, says that
Mckay is an honest judge and def
cient only IN legal ability" 1t con-
cluded, however, by saying that his ex-
perience on the bench has made him
an average judge. Even an admission
like this from republican politician
speaks volumes for the judicial pre-
eminence of Judge Mckay. The fact
is, Judge Mckay is the peer of any jur-
ist in the state and, as the saying is,
lit goes against the grain" when re-
republicans must admit 1t, though
many have admitted it.

WHY Is LIP

EDS. INDEX: | wish to call the at
tention OF the voters of this county to
the remarkably mild, smooth policy the
Cresset is pursuing during the present
campaign and institute an inquiry in
to the meaning and significance of this
smoothness. 1t is certainly unusual
for that paper. 1t has not been long
since the Cresset, under the same man
agement as at present, made itself no.
torious by violently criticising it's po-
lltlcal opponents. But although have
read the paper pretty thoroughly each
week during the present campaign.
yet scarcely a word of spirited criticism
against any populist official or candi-
date have / seen.
Now this is not merely accidental on
the part of the Cresset management
but rather its deliberate and settled
policy for this campaign and there is a
reason for 1t which every voter upon
whom the paper exerts any influence
should require into.
OF course can only conjecture as to
the real reason or reasons fol the Cres
sets present mild attitude. 1t NAV be

his former red hot course have not been
such as to encourage him to continue
IT, remember to have once suggested
to said editor that he might safely fol-
low mlider and more strictly truthful

sacrificing either his own St IL respect
or the good will of the respectable PEG.

years ago when | was candidate for
county Office and the editor had pub

icism against me. IF lie has concluded
TO act upon my advice even at this late
day am glad for am decidedly op-
posed to lndiscrimInate fault finding
and censure by any paper of its politi-
cal opponents.
| But | think it is more likely. in yiew
of the Cressetrs past career. that its
present quietness is only a stroke of
policy intended TO catch votes, and if
so hope no one will be deceived by it.
