QUESTION OF LANDLoRDIsM.
The Land Question Is an Important
One.

One.
Lord Scully, who owns 100000 acres
of Illinois land, a whole county in Kan
sas, besides other large tracts in Kansas
and Nebraska $4,000 acres in Nuckols
county and 10000 in Cage, has decided
to become citizen Of this country and
will settle in New York city. He does
this because of the tendency in sew
eral states (where Populists are num-
erous) to deal with alien landlords. He
will thus, through citizenship, retain
his lordly tribute and secure protection.
If rent to foreigners, tribute to an alien
power, is a bad thing, a dangerous
thing, which might lead gradually to
complete subsection to foreign owner
ship Of the whole country, what better
is it to support landlords at home?
That is what 81 per cent Of our own
people are now doing. Fifty-two per
cent Of our people are renters, accord
ing to the census Of 1890, and no doubt
tens Of thousands of families have lost
their homes through mortgage fore
closures since then.
If rent is all right, good thing,
Scully, the rack renter, is all right, Ire
land is all right, and America under the
present and increasing tribute to land
lords is and will be all right.
Scully never did a days work in
America. He bought his Illinois land
at SIPS per acre and paid for much Of
1t in soldiers land warrants, so that it
cost him not to exceed so and IS cents
an acre. Without putting on any inn
proYements he has rented it for an in
creasing sum and now gets So to 81 an
acre in excess Of taxes. Renters build
their own novels and live like dogs in
kennels. In Nebraska and Kansas the
same general plan is pursued. He
bought his land Of the government and
paid for it in scrip. Wild land he first
rented out for a series Of years, charg-
ing the renter the first year the taxes,
the second year the taxes and rs cents
an acne, the third year the taxes and 30
cents an acre. After that his agent
made such terms as he could. In all
cases renters have to make their own
improvements, which they can take
away with them or sell to renters who
take their places. OF course only the
most temporary, cheap Improvements
are made. The renters live in novels
instead of houses. The roads are not
worked, the country is not improved;
each renter cares only to get present re-
turns and is not citizen who takes an
interest in the country.
But this is what landlordism leads to.
Let us not forget that the land question
is a fundamental and overshadowing
question .-Wealthmakers.

The bankers are said to be playing
the same BOBBY game that Secretary
Morton tried on the employees Of the
agricultural department. They have
received advice from Wall street to pay
out silver to farmers who receive checks
in selling their produce. Thus 1t is
hoped to create sentiment against sill
yer on account Of its bulk. But the
farmers are willing to take all the sill
yer they can get-and only wish prices
were better so that they could get more
Of It. Then, too, 1t is funny that these
honest money" bankers would pay
their obligations in cheap dollars, when
gold is so plentiful.

There is an awful fear that the man
who lights upon the north pole will
not know it when he finds it. The COM
pass in the near vicinity Of the pole
will become imperative, and there are
no marks in the heavens or the earth
to say to the explorer: This is the
north pole" 1t would be a sad conclu-
sion of another polar expedition to pass,
say, within ten feet of the pole without
being aware of its proximity,

A grand reception will be rendered
to Eugene V. Debs next month at Chi
cago, on the occasion of his return from
Woodstock jail. 1t will be under the
auspices Of the various labor unions,
as a protest against judicial and cor
porate tyranny. Delegates from labor
unions throughout the country will be
present, to demonstrate to the world
Of greed and arrogance that the heroic
champion of labor has not been robbed
Of the love Of his fellows by being in
generated IN the plutocratic bastlle.
Debs stands higher today in the hearts
Of the masses than any labor leader in
America. All friends of humanity and
Justice delight to do him horor.

Augusta Frauds BY An Ego Witness.
Peoples Party Paper: l was in
Augusta on the I'd Of October and saw
some Of the damnable work that was
done by Mr.. Blacks friends to defeat
Mr.. Watson. The twenty-one-year-old
negroes were divided into squads with
couple or more "heelers" in charge who
would vote the scions of Democracy in
one ward, and then take them to an
other, vote them under another namei
then move on to the next ward aid con-
tinue the work indefinitely. For fear
a mistake would be made, young Demo
Gratis stood near the polls with polling
lists and the heller would approach
with his man; be given name and vote
him. The gang Of twenty-one-year-old
negroes, instead Of leaving the polls
would squat around and wait for the
squad to be moved to the next ward.
Electric cars we're used to transport
heelers and their men from ward to
ward. When voting Jagged at any pre-
cinct, SOME good Democrat would bring
word that so and so must report i'm
mediately at the First, Second or such
ward as was tagging. While the regis
tration list was adhered to, any man
with half a brain could see that a few
ignorant negroes were used to poll Mr..
Blacks majority. 1 advise that Mr..
Watson contest the election and do so
as vigorously as possible. Sincerely,
JOHN A. SIBLEY.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC OUT OF 1T.
Huntington Announces that Road VIII

Huntington Announces that Road VIII
Fight Only for Projection.
@. P. Huntington says that the South
ern Pacific railroad is out of politics,
but 'if any candidate announces that
he intends to cinch the road, we will
fight him and try to defeat him, but we
will do 1t openly"
Concerning the action Of the railroad
commissioners in reducing local rates,
Huntington declares his purpose to test
the issue in the courts. He says:
"An arbitrary reduction in rates is an
illegal assault on railroad property
which the courts can not and will not
permit. l will trust to the courts for
protection, and throughout my life l
have relied upon the cold, impassioned
injustice of our courts to such an ex-
tent that have always tried to impress
upon people the great need Of intelli-
gent, honest men for the judiciary"
From his first statement it may be
fairly inferred that the Southern Pa
cific has been Gin politics" and fur
Their that 1t has heretofore done its work
secretly. A great deal Of its secret
work has been exposed, however.
OF course, the courts will not allow
any such petty officials as the railroad
commissioners to interfere with the
rates Of mighty company that pays
we'll for decisions in its favor.
The Associate Press dispatch, from
which we quote, makes Mr.. Huntington
say that he has always relied upon the
injustice" Of the courts. We presume
that this word is a slip on the part Of
the reporter or some printer, neverthe-
less It expresses the truth Of the matter.

Senator Allen on tho Silver Party.

Senator Allen on tho Silver Party.
Senator Allen, of Nebraska, speaking
at Butte, Mont, on Labor day, said:
81 think that the disposition to put
strictly silver party in the field is con-
fined to the mining states, and I am
very doubtful Of the wisdom of the
movement. Those who are urging 1t
are making a great mistake. There are
many silver men who believe the Pop
ulist party is simply a temporary
growth and that it will soon disappear
with slightly changed conditions.
Therefore there are many who urge the
organization Of straight silver party,
but they are making a great mistake,
in my Judgment. The Populist party
is as we'll founded, and for its numbers,
as we'll organized, and as determined
as any other political party, and 1t has
come to stay. We will not be absorbed
by any other political party, and we ex-
pect 10 open our doors sufficiently wide
to admit all honest men who want to
see a reform in our government. There
is no doubt that there will be an over
hauling Of the Omaha platform to some
extent, but its cardinal principles will
be maintained. / think that the So
called sub-treasury scheme will be
eliminated. At least 1 hope and look
for some revision Of the minor de-
tails"

dollar that will pay 81 worth Of debts

like the mamma Of old in a safe of rail

some flour while it buys much whisky
and tobacco a dollar that is above draw
ing interest and yet will double itself
while the owner sits in the shade and
spits at a crack in the pavement; a dol
lar that will circulate without deprecia-
ton, will buy shoes for baby while it
buys fun for a man in places where he

surely repair tho waste Of sloth, appetite

will remove the sentence pronounced
upon Adam, reverse the order of nature

This country today affords an object
lesson Of this. In those parts OF the
country where the people believe that
our currency is safe, and that no change
in its standard is likely to take place,
plenty Of money can be had at 4 and o
per cent, while in those parts OF the
country in which the people are conf
dent that free coinage legislation will be

time ahead may be repaid in deprecated
silver, there is scarcely a place where
You can borrow money on very long time
at all or even short time at less rates
than 6 or S per cent Free silver would
not add dollar to the real wealth OF
the west or south. But the apprehension
of it has kept from those sections OF the
country the millions upon millions OF
capital that, had they been invested
there, might have made such prosperity
as the world has not seen since the sun
