The drain on our gold reserve, that
has since become monot onous, began. In
1892 mot as the result uf change or ev-:

the arbitrary action 1f Mr.. Foster, then
Mr.. Harrison Secretary Of the Treasury,
IN surrendering the discretion giyen him
by Act of Congress to redeem treasury
notes in either gold or liver, and giving
to the noteholder the right to choose the.
dearest metal, gold IN payment. Thus
the demand for gold was increased, and
as the demand increased gold apprecia-
ted and prices fell. And to this fall in
prices, which has SO greatly diminished
the debt-paying power Of our exports, is
directly due the drain on our gold FOR
export. Unable at the low price to ex-
port sufficient produce in excess of i'm
ports to meet our interest charges on our
foreign Indebtedness, the expenses Of A
mericans abroad and freights due to for
eign shippers, and our foreign creditors,
because of our impoyerishment and APP
parent inability to earn interest charges,
being unwilling to make US further loans
by purchasing our securities, the export
of gold became unavoidable. And until
we get better prices for our exports,
which will bring prosperity to our pro-
ducers, gold must continue togo Pay

fits of industry the restoration of conf

pay their debts, which IS dependent on
the profits Of industry. Higher tariff
duties cannot bring renewed prosperity;
for they do not hit at the root Of the e.

products.

Why is it that the bankers of Boston
and Wall Street are coming so iiberally
to the rescue of the gold reserve these
days? Simply because they are afraid
that if the treasurer of the United States
should be compelled to draw for mo-
ment upon the silver resources of the
nation, the imaginary charm that hangs
about the gold reserve woald be de-
stroyed and the election in November
would be practically settled beforehand
Yes, they are patriotic when it sub
serves their own interests.

There IS such cry about this nation
not being able to main tain a parity be-
tween its gold and silver coin should we
again open our minis to silver, and yet,
we have always maintained their panty
from the first whether with OF without
free coinage, and their parity is thus
maintained to-day, not as the P. P. says,
because there is dollar of gold behind
the silver dollar, for there is not-not
even one cent-but because the govern
ment stands ready to receive silver coin
equally with geld, in settlement of all
claims and demands due to the govern
ment. Pretty good money, we reckon,
even if it Is silver, when the government
of the United States stands ready to &C.
cept it without disparagement and to
the extent Of at least $5OO,O00,OO0 a
year. Montevideo Leader.

The Republican leaders, yes even the
St. Louis platform, all admit that Aoimet-
tallism-that is, the free coinage of gold
and silver alike at an established ratio
is the true solution of the monetary cues
ton, but that until we can have interna-
tional agreement, it will not work.
With the same breath they tell us that
bimetallism in this country is simply a
scheme of the silver miners to enrich
themselves at the expense of the people
at large. Just as though they would
not have the same chances for doubling
their wealth under international bimetal-
anism, it it would be increased at all,
as under independent action by the Uni
ted States alone. Rather inconsistent
to be sure, but then if England says it
shall be so, why, we suppose, that
makes it absolutely just and tight.

The Populist Convention at st. Louis
last week nominated Bryan almost by
reclamation. There was hitch over
Sewall, that resulted in the nomination
of Watson of Georgia for e-president,
but that will in ND way affect the final
result. In all of the states, from now
on, there will be united action by Popu-
lists, Democrats and free silver RepuIli-
cans, and in view of this unanimous COM
bination it is hard to see how Bryan can
fail of election. Minnesota, Michigan,
Iowa, Indiana and Illinois are no longer
,''dead sure" for Mckinley.

A RE-SUBMISSION LECTURE.

A man calling himself cool" Ellsworth,
from Massachusetts,, delivered a free "lecture'
at the Auditorium, Saturday night. 1t was the
same old stereotyped stuff that has been talked
by -submissionists for years, and was not cal
culated to convert anybody. We will notice
only one point in the speech. He said that
mothers should procure cards and teach their
boys to play, and should have decanter OF
liquor on the table, so that the boys would be-
come accustomed to it, and they would have no
temptation to visit joints and dives. He might,
with equal propriety, have said the mother
should secure the services of woman OF "easy
virtue" and keep her constantly about the
house, so the boys would not be tempted to visit
brothels. Such f'argument" as the Colonel"
employed is weak-disgusting.

MRS LEASE FOR ATTORNEY-GE NERAL

Numerous Populist papers in the state are
busy making tickets now, and that is all right.
We have had little to say on the subject, so far,
but now we shall suggest a name for one OF the
most important places on the state ticket, and
that is no other than Mrs. Mary E. Lease for
attorney-general. Mrs. Lease is lawyer OF
ability, and she has the grit and determination
necessary to fill that position. Furthermore, to
her efforts, more than to that of any other one
person, is due the success of the Popullsts OF
the state in 1892. If the party owes anything
to any person, it owes Mrs. Lease this recogni-
ton of her worth and ability. She has ever
been true to principle, and stands squarely upon
the demands of the Omaha platform That
she would do everything in her power to rigid
ly enforce every law on the statute-books no
one will doubt for moment More than this,
Mrs. Lease enjoys the full confidence OF the
rank and file Of the party, and, should she be
nominated, she would poll the full party vote
We have not consulted Mrs. Lease in this
matter, but we suggest her name for this office
because we know she is competent to NIL 1t, and
because she deserves this recognition OF her
services in behalf our party and its principles

THE Republicans have re-nominated Con-
eressmen Long, Curtis and Broderick. The
convention which nominated Curtis adopted
financial plank which the Topeka State Journal
saws looks like one of those funny signs you
see on the streets. AS you first approach it, it
reads, "Free Coinage of Silver" When you
get Immediately in front of it, it reads, Obi
metallism." AS you pass it and look back, it
reads. "Gold Standard" 1t is similar to the
financial plank adopted by the Ohio Republicans
state convention, which, according TO the press
dispatches, is "doubtful."

A KENTUCKY PAPER ON ST. JOHN.

The Paducah Herald (Pop.) says: 'The
Populists in the Second Kansas district have
decided to tender the nomination for congress
to Ex-Governor John P. St. John, Prohibition
candidate for president in 1884 During the
past three years, St. John has, while nominally
talking prohibition, advocated all the principles
of the Omaha platform except the sub-treasury
It is believed that ST.. John can secure the unit
ed Prohibition and Populist vote of the district
which would elect him. -

THE Republicans of the state were holding
their convention at Wichita, this week, to Sc
lect delegates to the national convention. All
was not harmonious, but King Cy Leland, he
of applejack fame, got everything he wanted.
OF course, lot Of fellows went home mad, but
they will all swallow the pill and whoop it up
for ANYTHING or anybody named by the bosses.
There was only one fst-hght in the convention,

were closed, but, according to the Topeka Cap
tai, the delegates had no trouble in getting all
they wanted to drink.

the smallest farms. Huntsville is type of hun
dreds OF these villages. There are no saloons

THE opposition to prohibition in Iowa has
trumphed to that extent that the people of that
state will be permitted to make their own
liquor, provided they do not do SO within 200
feet of school a church. If the evils of
the whisky business are lessned by removing it
200 feet, it would seem to be the proper thing
to eliminate them entirely by removing it out
side of the state. The whisky traffic is either
good or bad; if bad, it should be suppressed
and destroyed; if good it should not be restrict
ed. 1t rarely pays to compromise with evil

POPS MAKE A POINT.


Secretary r. H. Semple, of the Populist
state central committee, has been looking up
the figures at the state auditors Office, showing
how much money is being saved the state by
the present administration.
In investigating the earnings and expendi-
lures of the state penitentiary it is found that
during the first seven months under Warden
Lynch from July, including January, the state
received $35,88o.45, while for the correspond
ing months under Warden Chase, the receipts
were $47,537.S9.
The expenses for the same months under
Warden Chase were S9I,459. So, while for the
corresponding period under Warden Lynch, the
expenses were SOL, 3II.45.-State Journal
MILLIONS AT WORK FOR MCKINLEY.
NEW YORK, March S.-The World says this
Saturday morning: The friends of exGov.
Mckinley, of Ohio, have now spent $Ioo,oo
to secure for him the Republican nomination
for the presidency, and they have, within few
days, written to prominent iron and steel men
to contribute at "once toward a fund of a quar-
ter-milion dollars" which is now urgently
needed to effect Mckinley organization and
elect delegates in several states whose delegates
are now in doubt. The general manager for
Mckinley is Mark Hanna, the Cleveland iron
king, and the energy and money displayed by
the syndicate working for the Ohio candi-
date is keeping every other Republican candi-
date for president awake nights.
A decisive battle was fought yesterday in
Florida for the eight delegates to the national
Republican convention. 1t was expected that
they would be divided between Morton and
Reed, but within few hours of the election,
the Mckinley managers entered the field, and
they have secured six Of the eight delegates.
Two are for Morton.
Among the Republican candidates and their
confidential friends the tactics Of the Mckinley
managers in the past have been the exclusive
topic of conversation. They do not talk for
publication, but they frankly say among them
selves that ''there are millions of dollars at
work for Mckinley, and he may win on the
first ballot"

papers are advocating the reelection of Grover
Cleveland. We are not surprised at this. If
Clevelandlis re-nominated by the Democrats he
will be supported by the gold-bug wing of the
Republican party. Grover Cleveland and John
Sherman are sure to vote the same ticket next
fall, and their followers will do the same.

THE Salina Republican Journal of last week
said: "Whether Cy Leland is voted in or out,
his methods in securing delegates by appoint
ments made by the county central committees
are very much to be condemned. 1t is political
trickery of the worst phase. 1t avoids the free
and fair decision on the part of the voters If
those methods are to be pursued under his lead
ership, there will be nothing left of the Repub-
lican party. The bosses, as rule, kill party
in the end, and this is one of their methods
which contributes to it's death It is upon
Vanderbilt's famous expression-'D-n the
psople'-that fellows of the Cy Leland order

his way at Wichita, and he will bulldoze
you fellows right along in the same manner.
And what are you going to do about it? Why,
you'll walk right up to the rack and chew the
fodder Cy gives you--that's all. You haven't
enough independence to break away and be

So then and there, right ont in the
middle of the big road, in front of the
Williams place, 6lev and Andy they
halted and hailed and called for old man
Mike. They wanted TO see him, and
they had to see him right away imme-
diately, il not sooner. They whooped
and they hOllered and went on at such
a scandlous high rate till reclloned
old man Mike lowed somebody must be
killed or crippled unto death.
The truth is they kicked up such a
tremendous big excitement out there
in the road till the old man didn't take
time TO make his appearment in full
dress. He jumped out of mis- nice, warm
goosehair bed, sorter flung his clothes
at himself, and come Dustin out to the
road in his sock feet, with only two
or three garments on his body. He
wanted TO know, in a loud voice, what
in the round created world was the mat
ter, and who was hurt. Blew and
Andy they fumbled and fooled around
for a long time tryin to make the old
man think that somethin awful had
come to pass.
In the mainline, you understand,
old man Mike he was standin out there
in the cold draft, shivcrin and shallin
like a leaf in n storm, whilst the win
ter wind blowed through his whiskers,
fore and aft, at the rates of 60 miles a
minute. Finally at last Andy he went
down into his saddlebags, came forth
with his bottle of white ink, and went
ON to say:
Eve wouldn't do this only in plain
case of pushency. But the weather is
most hellatious cold tonight, Uncle
Mike, and we lowed it maybe mought
he best for your general health to git
up and come out and take little thin
one with US, and then go 10 bed right"
Well, man sir, unto this blessed day
every time ] think about the trials OF
that winter night I give thanks that
old man Mike didn't have his shotgun
handy when he found out what was
what and who was who. OF all the drag
gin and cussin and villifyin you ever
heard tell of, we took il then and there.
And as we rid off three abreast in a
gallop up the road it did seem TO me
like the midnight winter air was blue
and hot for miles and miles around.
The great wonderment TO me is that
old man Mike didn't pick his time after
that and name his man to ride feet fore
most and head funeral procession in
the settlement But he never did.

Along In the Christmas.

II was a ralc mean, yaller dog trick,
and IL we had TO make the same trip
over, as for me, would a whole lot ruth
err turn round AMI come back before we
started.
Mind you, now, that was in the dead
of wInter-way along in the Christmas
and one freezin cold night us boys
rid three abreast along the old stage
road on our return back from town.
Naturally, of course, OWN TO the flu
rious bad weather, we had changed our
breath right frequent that day, and
consequentially by this time two or
three of us was feclin our keepin pow
erful. In my day and generation I
have Travelled that same road a thou
sand times in company with the same
two fellow citizens. But ! never saw
Blew and Andy ride out of town on a
cold winter night, tanked up on white
ink and "sperits-of-cats-a-f ghtln" to
the extent of about six bits in the dol
lar, but what they got into some sort of
devilment before they rounded up at
home.
That night nothin had come to pass
out of the common run when we got
to the Williams place. ridin three
abreast in swingin gallop; but right
along there Blew and Andy pulled in
their horses and come to dead halt
all of student. In the mainline you
must keep in remembrance of the fact
that the weather was cold enough to
freeze the tail off a brass monkey,
whilst the frost was on the bosom OF
the earth like SNOW on trash pile.
