Mail sent out o letter to the redeemer
members Of the Legislature asking
them to name the favorable Presiden-
tisl candidate and to suggest winning
platform.
Among the replies is one from Fl. j.
Butler, Representative from Bourbon
county, who expresses himselfas being
in favor of Allison as a candidate. A
platform on protection lines, ETC., and
for the use Of silver as money to as
great an extent as 1t Is safe to do so,
and trust to those with experience In
finance and not to "bnsted reformers"
to say how far we can go in that direc-
ton.
This reference to "busted reformers"
Is rich and could only emsnate from
the prolific brain of a redeemer whose
worthless paper formed very impor-
tsnt item In the list of the nominal
assets of the defunct Fort Scott bank,
and who Is himself q "busted loan and
land AGENT" but it is characteristic of
the unlimited cheek and gall possessed
by the average Kansas redeemer.
Probably he would be perfectly will
ing to refer this whole subject to Bill
Mckinley, who few years ago became
bankrupt, and his special friends for
whom he had done so much-the pro-
tected Eastern manufacturerS-Csme
to his rescue and contributed $4,000
of their ll-gotten gains toward paying
his debts. Or maybe Charley Foster,
the last redeemer Secretary Of the
Treasury, Is possessed Of the necessary
amount of experience to steer the
financial ship Of state to q safe anchor.
sge-he having conducted his private
affairs with such signal ability, you
knoWl Had an oVerdraft Of $135, 900
In his bank when 1t closed its doors;
the capital being only 100000.
But to come nearer home. Dick
Blue, the picturesque" Congressman,
is one of the experienced parties Mr..
Butler has entrusted with the settle
ment of the finances of this country.
He Is the man who robbed the people
Of Linn county of thousands Of dol
lars while he was director Of q bank
that "busted" and drove his victims to
q suicides grave and the insane
asylum, and whose partner In crime
escaped serving term In the peniten-
tiary only though the clubbing de
cision of q redeemer judge.
If the HON. J. r. Burton, who is
without doubt the par excellence rep
resentstive Of the 6. o. p. In Kansas
to. day, Is elected to the United States
Senate we will have another shining
light In financial circles, to help ar
range matters for the dear people.
The only trouble in his case being that
1t has always been the other fellow who
had the experience and Burton got the
cash.
But it is not necessary to call to
mind "reminiscences of the men who
have In the past received the support
of such redeemers as Butler-men Of
experience, as he is pleased to term
them. Kansas has furnished her full
quota of this class. Three hundred
"busted" loan and trust companies or
ganized for the purpose Of robbing the
Eastern investor ct one end Of the line

WHO PAYS THE TAxEss
BY W. H. t. WAKEFIELD.


alton, yet historians are agreed that
tho decadence and downfall Of nations
has been due to inequitsble and Op-
pressive taxation. Taxation Of $50
per month, or even Of half this sum,
paid by a farmer, mechanic or business
man, is like big leak In q vessel he is
trying to ill, and when the leak is large
enough his industry is exerted In pour
Ing water into q sieve.
That our system Of raising national
revenues has lasted so long is due to
two facts: First, by interested parties
playing upon the feelings of national
prejudice; and second, because no po-
lltlcal party has yet advocated better
system. Very few, even among Re-
pubNcans, really believe in the trans
parent fraud called protection" but
the theory has never been intelligently
nor honestly opposed by Democrats,
and no sufficient reason given for
changing Of party allegiance on this
question. Thst.which 10 wrong in prin-
clple at 60 per cent. cannot be right at
30 per cent. It Is true that we would
rather be robbed Of $50 than of $50,
but we do not regard the smaller thief
as q much better man than the more
successful one. A Democratic reVe-
nue. tariff with incidental protection Is
less costly to the people than Repub-
lican protective tariff with incidental
revenue, but the difference is one of
degree and not Of principle. Perhaps
one dollar out of three paid by labor
goes into the treasury under revenue
tariff, and only one out of six
under a protective tariff, but the
wrong man Is taxed in both cases,
and taxed for other than public
purposes, while the men who de-.
rive large and direct benefits from gov
eminent and are the cause Of much Of
its expenditures are taxed not at all,
or far less than those who derive no
benefit whatever from government.
Il Ia true that free trade Is the nat.
ural right Of all men, and would add
largely to production Of wealth, but
entire free trade is impossible under
even q revenue tariff, and 80 long ss
the whole burden of national taxes and
Che major portion Of all other taxes
settle upon labor, and increase Of
wealth concentrates in the non-pro.
ducers' hands, increased production
does not benefit the masses.
Within the century just closing the
power of labor to produce wealth has
been increased several hundred fold In
many things, and at least hundred fold
in oil things on the average. Wealth has
increased enormously, but the condi.
tions or rewards Of asbor as a whole
not only fail to show the same ratio Of
increase, but the reverse. The hungry
man who is told his suffering comes
from overproductiOn Of food is not In
Clined to vote for lower tariff because
It will cheaper and increase produc-
ton.
The reports Of the Kansas State
Board Of Agriculture (gOod Republi-
can authority show an average yearly
production Of new wealth of over
$1,000 per year for each Kansas farmer,
calculated at wholesale market rates
at home shipping points. Ihave taken

sired by Minister Terrell Who was Terrell?
He Confederate soldier who rejoiced in the
assassination OF President Lincoln, and wrote
poem in honor Of Booth, the assassin. He Is a

best his narrow mind sees II. Our missionaries
there are source of trouble to him. Rather
than afford them protection, he offers his SER
vices to remove them from the country"
With reference to that question, the response
bility of the movement, the speaker had nothing
to say. That matter had been submitted to the
missionaries themselves. They preferred TO face
death rather than leave the work they had gone
to perform unfinished. He next spoke OF Presi-
dent Gates Of the Congregational College at
Harpoot. With him, but scattered over al this
country, were 1877 men and women OF like deter
