PROSECUTING KANSAS.

An organized movement has been un-
dertaken to bring ruin upon the state of
Kansas as punishment to her for vot-
ing the Peoples Party into power News
papers under the shadow of Wall street
now fill their editorial columns with due
warnings to everybody to keep away
from Kansas. Investors are assured
that the citizens of that state are
swindlers and madmen. Riot is averred
to stalk red handed in the cities. Law
and order are mere formal expressions.
This is all very transparent scheme.
The corporations, the railroads, the ma
tional banks and the trusts are in real
ity terrified at the growth of the Peoples
Party. They see in it the power that
will yet compel them to obey the law
and refrain from robbery of the people.
They have set in, accordingly, to black
mail and traduce one of the sovereign
cOmmonWealths composing this repub-
lie in order, if possible, to accomplish it's
ruin.
The facts are, as every intelligent
American knows, that there is not in
all the Union a state more advanced in
intelligence and capacity than is Kan
sas. Her natural resources are in many
respects unsurpassed In the world. The
energy and thrift of her people have
reclaimed the wilderness and made it, in
the words of Bryan, to blossom as the
rose The organs Of monopoly loudly
exclaimed two years ago that Populism
was dead for evermore in Kansas In
the recent election the third party swept
everything before it, as it did in various
states adjacent to the historic western
commonwealth. The animosity of greed
will strengthen Kansas. = Twentieth
Century.

CONTINUE THE FIGHT.

The fight for the regeneration of the
republic is just commenced, so to speak.
1t will be continued until the poor man
shall have the same. rights before the
law as the rich. 1t will be continued
until the farmer has the same rights ac-
corded to him and his business as the
money shark of Wall street. 1t will be
continued until prosperity shall settle
among our great plain people, give them
an opportunity for honest endeavor
whereby they may earn their livelyhood
by honest work, whereby they may edu-
cate, nurture and protect their families
the same as the rich. In other wards,
this republic must be republic which is
a blessing to all, and until this state of
affairs shall be contaminated the fight
will be contiued. 1t is an old fight, the
fight of the oppressed against the op-
pressor and the fightof slave against the
tyrant, the fight of slave againstaapir
tyrant, the fight of poor, stricken hum
anity against it's oppressors.- Kearney

A SENSIBLE ARTICLE.
The Cry for Union Comes From the
POpulists Alone.

The Cry for Union Comes From the
Populists Alone.
Recently, quite number of our ex-
changes have discussed this import
ant subject, and all have argued that
such union is desirable, and further
that it is the only hope of monetary
or any other reform. Not few have
suggested that national conference,
composed of silver Democrats, Popu-
lists, and silver Republicans be called
at an early date for the purpose of
agreeing upon line of action, upon
which union can be had, and ii need
be merge all three of these elements
into one compact organization with
an entirely new party name, adopting
such platform Of principles as all
could indorse and support. 1t is very
gratifying to see the editors of these
papers discussing such a vital Ques-
tion and the more SO in the very
charitable manner In which it is done.
1t shows that theyare not only true
reformers but that tiley are willing to
make any reasonable sacrifice to bring
about these reforms.
However, there is one phase that we
have discovered ia this discussion,
that We very much dislike, and that
is the fact that it all comes from
Populist editors and writer's. So far
as our observation has gone not sim
gle Democratic papsr has mentioned
the subject. The reason for this is
not altogether clear. 1t may be that
they are afraid that they might COM
nit treason in the discussion of such
a subject, but the fact remains and is
patent to every thinker. that howe YER
much they would Nkc to disregard
this subject, there i, day in the not
distant future, wile7e the sovereign
people will arise ins their might jus
as they did prior tOSthe late Chicago
convention that Z nominated Mr..
Bryan, and sweep every opposition
aside, when it will pc possible to dis
cuss this question IF union and all
other questions. 9. Ere form that per-
raTn to Jneff WeTfaft- ~
Itis our candid opiaion that sooner
or later the silver Democratic leaders
will be confronted with the alterna-
tive Of meeting the Populists and sill
yer Republicans as their equals on
common ground or seeking the rank
and file of their party 60 bodily into
the POpulist ranks. The 5000, 600
voters who voted for Bryan in the
late election want better conditions.
They are determined to have more
money and less misery, and it is evil
dent that they are nearing the point
when they will no longer allow the
ambitions of party leaders, the sacred
ness of party name or the history and
traditions of the past to stand in the
way.-Silver Knight-Watchman.

THE WOLF AT THE DOOR.
There's a haunting horror near us
That hing dri1oe,

There's haunting horror near us
That nothing drives away
Fierce lamping eyes at nightfall
A crouching shade by day;
There's a whining at the threshold,
There's scratching at the floor
To work! to work! in heavens name!
The wolf is at the door!
The day was long, the night was short,
The bed was hard and cold;
Still weary are the little ones,
Still weary are the old.
We are weary in our cradles
From our mothers toll untold;
We are born to boarded weariness,
AS some to boarded gold.
We will not rise! We will not work!
Nothing the day can give
Is half as sweet as an hour of sleep;
Better to sleep than live!
What power can stir these heavy limbs
What hope these dull hearts swell?
What fear more cold, what pain more
sharp,
Than the life we know so we'll?
To die like a man by lead OF steel
Is nothing we should fear;
No human death would be worse to feel
Than the life that holds us here.
But this is fear no heart can face
A fate no man can dare
To be run to the earth and die by the
teeth
OF the gnawing monster there.
The slow, relentless padding step
That never goes astray-
The rustic in the underbrush--
The shadow in the way
The straining flight-the long pursuit,
The steady gain behind
Death-wearied man and tireless brute,
And the struggle wild and blind!
There's hot breath at the keyhole
And tearing as of teeth!
Well do know the bloodshot eyes
And the dripping jaws beneath!~
There's whining at the threshold
There's a scratching at the floor
To work! to work: in Ravens name!
The wolf Is at the door! s.

nationality around the international
| gold conspiracy.
"The way to obviate the further dis
astrous effects of this international
gold conspiracy is to stop it. We want
the system of bimetallism restored in
this country. Bimetallism means the
option of the debtor to pay in either OF
two statutory coins, according to his
own convenience and according to the
contract. This option freely granted
the commercial parity Of the two
money metals will be speedily reached,
nor can such parity ever be seriously
disturbed again as long as the unim-
peded option of the debtor to pay In
one metal or the other shall be conced-
ed by law and the terms of the con-
tract. The present commercial dispari-
ty of the two metals has been produced
by the pernicious legislation which be-
gan twenty-three years ago and which
has not yet satisfied itself with the
monstrous results that have famed
therefrom.
What do We propose to accomplish
by free coinage? We propose to do just
this thing, viz: To break the corner
on gold and reduce the exaggerated
purchasing power of that metal to its
normal standard. Be assured there will
be no further talk of 50-cen dollar
when the commercial parity of the two
mn fol ho1 hn
well-informed person must know that
the present disparity of the two I'M
coined metals is but the index of the
extent to which gold has been bulled
in the markets of the world. 1t is not
an index to the extent to which raw sill
yer has declined in it's purchasing
power in the markets of the world, for
raw silver has not declined in it's pur
chasing power as compared with the
average Of other commodities in any
civilized market place of the whole
globe. No man shall say the contrary
and speak the truth. This great ques-
ton is hot upon us. 1t can be kept back
no longer. 1t is a tremendous econo-
mic question that ought to be decided
in the court of right reason and of
fact. My judgment is that the Ameri-
can people, in spite of all opposition,
are going to reclaim the right of trans
acting their business, and in particular
of paying their debts according to a
standard unit worth 100 cents to the
dollar neither more nor less, and that
they will not accept the intolerable pro-
gram which declares in fact, if not in
words, that they shall henceforth
transact their business and in particu-
lar discharge their debts with a corn
cred gold dollar worth almost two for
one"

thou art as whited sepulchre filled
with dead mems bones and all manner

return to earth would he preach the

starving Billingtons and sadly dis
couraged Kisters, proclaim that thou

The question is an insult t. the

tenderest heart that ever throbbed
Should Christ return to earth and
teach the same doctrine he taught in
ancient Galilee, associating with the
poor and spurning riches, gathering
about him the penniless beggars, the
blind and crippled paupers, scorning
the silken-clad preachers Of our many
hued millionaire built cathedrals, how
long would 1t be before thou who stand
est in high places preaching the right
eousness Of the law of supply and de-
mand, would be rolling thine eyes in
the direction of the ruling power and
obsequiously asking, What manner of
man is this which goeth about speak

1t is possibly fact that Mr.. Bryan
did not have as cordial a reception at
New York as he expected.
1t is also undoubtedly true that many
of his auditors left before his speech
was finished.
The reasons are too plain to need
explanation.
1t was simply an old familiar trick
that has been played from time i'm
memorial. 1t is the trick of filling a
hall with speakers opponents, giving
him a chilly reception, and then DELHI
erately walking out before the speech
is over.
While Bryan's friends were crowded
out, his enemies were given seats. Is
it any wonder that the result was
Chilly reception" and tired audi
ence"?
But the speech was mastery pro-
duction, all the same, and has been
read with profit by millions of people.

merely the peg upon which the spessh

In order to get the vote of the Grand
Army veteran for the gold standard, a
great hullabaloo is being made about
"honest money for pensioners.
When these pensioners were barring
their breasts to the leaden bullets of
the Confederates, they were paid in
greenbacks, worth their face value in
national credit, but deprecated by
these hoarders of gold to 40 cents on
the dollar. These same gold men
bought government bonds for Accent
greenbacks, and then demanded pay
ment at 1OO-cents gold. Now they come
and talk to the old soldiers about "hon-
est dollars for PENSIONS" forgetting
that these pensioners offered their lives
for their country when gold owners
conspired to put their pay at 40 cents
on every dollar.
It is a wonder that the old soldiers
don't offer to mob a scoundrel talking
"honest dollar" to them in times of
peace when their lives are not in dam
ger.-X.

Notwithstanding all the argument OF
the goldbugs the silver dollar. with
only 81 cents worth of material, is
worth as much as the gold dollar and
1t is not redeemable In gold either.
What is the cause of this? Simply
that the law declares it legal tender
and the people stand ready to redeem
1t in any of the products of their labor.
1t would be the same with a govern
ment paper dollar.

1t is well to observe that it is not
the money in existence that fixes
prices, but the money in actual circu-
lation. When money is increasing in
volume prices are constantly rising, as
during the war; but when money is
decreasing in volume, as since 1858,
prices are continually falling. When
prices are going up enterprise is slim
ulated to its maximum and labor and
labor's products comma.-N good prices.
When prices are stable, as they would
be with a uniform volume of currency
with a flexible system to supply the
demand, there would be no such thing
as panics and hard times.

If the free coinage of silver will give
the Silver baron" 100 cents for so
cents worth OF product where is the
support to the claim that free coinage
will result in 50-cent dollars? If free
silver coinage will not increase the
price of silver where is the support of
the claim that it will enrich the silver
barons? Both of these are goldbug ar
guments.
