SENATOR TILLMAN, last Wednesday,
made speech on the bond bill, in which
he relentlessly scored the administra-
ton and others who assisted to play in
to the pockets of the gold gamblers.
TIE older members of the senate are
reported as saying that Tiliman's speech
Was one of the most remarkable ever
made in that branch of congress. HIS
speech closes with the following strik-
ing conclusion:
1T is easy to see that the struggle
for the new emancipation has begun.
There are millions now on the march,
and they tramp, tramp. tramp; tramp
sidewalks hunting work, and the high
ways begging bread, and unless relief
comes they will some day take a notion
to come to Washington with rifles in
their hand to regain the liberties stol-
Ell from them, or which their represent
ativeS have sold"

A BUSINESS ADMrNIsrRArIoN.

Under republican rule Kansas was
to have a business administration.
Just what that meant no one seemed
to have definite idea, and after hav-
ing tried it we are still puzzled to know
the meaning of the term as defined by
republican authority. The morning
tool of trusts, combines and corrupt
corporation greed, in this city prated
loudly during the campaign of 1894 that
return to republican rule meant

a PAPER FOR THE FARMER.

The Farm Record of Indianapolis,
Ind. is bright, hustling, wide-awake,
sixteen page monthly journal published
at so cents year by c. Vincent, for
merly with the Nonconformist in Kan
sas. and it is thoroughly alive to the
needs of the farmers and full of sensl-
BILE and businesS-li like suggestions as to
how the most can be made from farm
life. Most farm papers from the East
have little in common with our west
ern and southern people, and, knowing
but little of our surroundings, they do
not reach the point of making them
selves indispensable to the farmer
This is not the case with the Farm
Record, for it's editor was reared in the
West and spent last summer here and
is fully acquainted with the peculiar
position of the western and southern
farmer. He is also familiar in a gener-
al way with the needs of this class in
all parts of the country, having person
ally visited every agricultural state in
union. But he is now engaged in max
ing fight for the farmer that should
endear him 10 every farm home. The
grain ring has had in operation a sys-
tenn of weighing which has locked
very large portion of your grain for
years past. Mr.. Vincent has probed
that ulcer and found a cure for it.
He has arranged with Chicago firm to
handle the farmers grain without any
dockage and all grain will be weighed
under state supervision. G.. S. Knipe,
of Arlington, S. D., acting under the
direction of the Farm Record, sent a
carload of wheat to that market and
saved dc per bushel. This is only one
of hundreds.) You can save money,
too, on any grain you may have to sell
this winter. and if you have not car
load several can club together. You
need the Farm Record to give you full
directions and we Will send that paper

STRIKING SIMILARITY.

The so-called fight between Labor
and Capital at the present time would
seem to be like this: Two men are
ship-wrecked on an island. The only
means OF subsistence is clans, and the
only means they have to dig them is
with their fingers. The coast is rocky.
and the case is desperate one. That
there is an old fellow who has got there
before them, and he has a shovel. The
two men in their distress go to him and
say: Sir, loan us your shovel in order
that we may dig some clans. lie re-
plies: Well, yes; L will loan you the
shovel if you will give me ninety per
cent of the clams.' If these two men
were human they would say: Alas and
alas! Families lives ought to be more
sacred than his vested rights in the
shovel. And if they were sensible
there would be scrapping match for
the possession of the shovel.
1.-Two years ago board of railroad
managers, consisting of five men, said
to 1900 railroad laborers: The SHOW
ell by which you and your families live
in Is a railroad shovel. Submit to our
terms or you and your family starve. }
Then there was caucus of these 3d.
600 men and they decided that the
right Of themselves and their families
to live ought to be more sacred than
the vested rights of the shovel and thew
took possession. Then the president
of the United states stepped in with
the military arm of the government and
decided that the vested rights of the
shovel were more sacred than the vest
ed rights of men to live in this govern
ment. The freedom of labor in this
government means that the capitalist
must surrender the shovel. The prin-
ciples of the peoples party mean that
the vested rights of men to life, liberty
and the pursuits OF happiness must be
placed above the vested rights of prop
erty."-Ralph Beaumont.
