Ought to Pay RIS Clerks.

Topeka Journal (Rep.), May 10, 1867
The clerks in Governor Morrill's Office
have turned their April salaries back
into the State treasury to make good the
irregularity OF the Governor in paying
them for their ante-inaugurRl work out
Of his contingent fund, but the Governor
has not yet taken any steps to pay the
clerks for the work they did for him be-
fore he was Governor. The work these
clerks did for Governor Morrill, was hard,
as he himself says it was, and the proper
thing for Governor Morrill, TO do is to 60
down into his pocket and promptly pay
them for the work they did. It does not
look we'll to hear Of Governor Morrill's
clerks being left without their April sal
aries to make good service they per-
formed for him az an individual. II

A FOrelgn Ylew Of bic Case.

Twenty-three members Of the Inter
national Agricultural Congress, which
recently convened at Buda-Pesth, have
issued an address which contains the
following, which they believe 10 be a
statement Of facts;
%D That during the three days de-
bate not one speaker has denied that
the depression in agriculture results
from the phenOmenally low prices Of all
the products Of az riculture.
"(2) That the connection between the
currency and agrarian issues has been
almost unanimously affirmed by the
representatives Of agriculture at this
congress.
E3) That the great majority Of the
speakers, Independently Of their cur
rency views, confirm the opinion Of the
leading agricultural authorities, that
there ls no oyerproductiOn in cereals;
and, therefore, the fall Of prices cannot
be referred to overprOduction.
"(4) That every gold mOnOmetallist
speaker has admitted that bimetallism
would raise the price Of agricultural
produce.
"(0 That no gold monometallist has
used the argument, which used to pref
udice the position Of the bimetallists-
namely, that the restoration Of silver
to legal tender is device Of indebted
landowners who wish to pay their cred
itors in q deprecated currency.
"The undersigned are convinced that
the existing crisis in agriculture can bO
arrested by an international settlement
Of the currency question, and they
therefore are OF opinion that It ID the
first duty Of the various governments to
cooperate without delay, so as TO 60
cure settlement OF the currency and
exchange trouble"

why We Can't Borrow Eastern Money.

Why We Can't Borrow Eastern Money.
It is fsVorite Republican campaign
story that Populism has ruined the
credit of this and other Western States,
and that money lenders lack confidence
in our good intentions. That this
story has little or no foundation in fact
is we'll known. Nothing has ever been
done by Western people to indicate that
they are not ready and willing TO pay
ell honest obligations promptly and
fairly when it is in their power to pay
at all. Some months ago G. j. Jones,
better known as "Buffslo" Jones, went
to New York to borrow some money, and
his explanation Of why he failed to
secure it is doubtless the correct reason
why Eastern capital is not now seeking
investment in the West. He says:
"When went to New York for the
purpose Of securing money with which
to complete ths North & South railroad,
l took with me gilt-edge security, The
syndicate examined my security and
pronounced it tirst-class and said that
under ordinary conditions they would be
glad to make loans, but that at this
time they were making no loans and
would not do 80, even il should deposit
United States bonds as security.
~ asked them the reason, and they re-
piled that capitalists never had money
to loan so long as there was o prospect
for the issue Of government bonds. That
they could make through the syndicate
as high as 10 per cent. in thirty days on
their money, and while government
bonds were issued, money would be held
in reserve Is it any wonder they
should object to the plank in the Bryan
platform which declares against the
issuing Of bonds in time Of peaceY"

Rondly hoped that we might have the
satisfaction and the glory Of carrying
to victory the time-honored and battle
SCARED flag Of reform which the old
guard has held aloft 90 brsvely and
heroicslly all these long and trying
years, and anxious solicitude as to the
outcome may be excusable. But let US
not be unnecessarily alarmed about the
future OF the reform movement. 1t has
passed the danger point. 1t is capable
of taking care of itself under any and
all circumstances. Traitors cannot be-
tray it; time-servers cannot sell it out;
iniudicious friends cannot destroy it;
defeat cannot demorslize it; its oppo-
nents, however powerful and crafty,
cannot crush it; even the gates Of hell
cannot prevail against 1t. For twenty
years, although subjected to all the
dangerous pitfalls, perils and quick
sands incident to the development Of
new party, it has grown to be the
greatest factor in the arena Of Ameri-
can politics to-day. And, il elected, /
believe that Mr.. Bryan will not be slow
to recognize this fact, and that he will
soon learn to rely upon the counsels and
support Of the new party which has rev.
oluti0nized the politics Of the country,
forced to the front new and vital issues
and made it possible for the people, in
stead Of office-seeking politicians, to
place q champion Of progressive ideas
at the head Of the government. / be-
lieve that be will appreciate the fact
that we have placed in the hollow of
mis- hand, not only the unselHsh hopes
and patriotic aspirations Of the Populist
party, but the most sacred cause that
was ever entrusted to living man, and
that he will not betray the trust.
"In conclusion, permit me to say that
if my twenty years Of work entities me
to the confidence of my workers, let
me ask them to lay aside every other
consideration and help elect Mr.. Bryan
not for his sake, but for the sake Of
the principles which we all hold dear
and sacred. If success is achieved the
Populist party can never be denied the
glory Of the victory. II defeat awaits
us, and our standard bearer falls, let
there be no Populist arrows found either
in his breast or in his back. Let the
responsibility rest upon other shoulders
than our own. Sincerely yours,

9nGlro 0ppoSlGlOn 10 bryan WAS COhO0H-
trated on Col. s. F. Norton OF Chicago.
He has for over twenty years been using
his great abilities in the interest OF the
reform cause. His work has reelected
great credit on him and the results have
done much to make the party the factor
it is IN National politics. He has seen
fit TO give to the public the following
patriotic, sensible letter on the Rtuation:
"HOn Marion Butler, Chairman
Peoples PGTty Committee:
"DEAR SIR-HoWever much POpulists
may have differed at st. Louis as to the
correct policy to adopt; however much
some of US may still believe that mis-
takes were made, under existing ciccum-
stances there is only one course to pursue,
and that is to Loyalty and earnestly
support Mr.. Bryan-nOt SO much for
the sake o. elevating him to the Presi-
dency, as for the purpose OF defeating
what may be appropriately and most
expressively termed Mark Hanna Re-
publicanism. Although some Of us may
regret certain fusion arrangements
which have been made, 1t is a notice
able fact that no other man in the
United States is 30 much troubled about
it as the manager Of the Republican
campaign. I never realized before how
highly Republicans have always re-
spected' and 'honored the Populist
party till it fused with the Democrats
If any consolation is needed, however,
for this loss Of Republican esteem it may
be found in the fact that Messrs. Cleve-
land, Carlisle and Palmer have become
the legRtees thereof.
"Our political allies in this campaign
may not have treated us as fairly and
justly as they ought, in the matter
Of representation Of Vice Presidential
Electors; and this seems to be the chief
cause Of compliant, for I have yet to
meet with Populist who does not ad-
NIT that Mr., Bryan is the ablest and
most fearless champion Of reform prin-
oiples that reformers themselves have
chosen in the last twenty years. 1t is an
event in history to find man, backed
by more than million votes, who has
the patriotism and courage to stand up
front-faCed before the combined money
power Of the world and hurl in their
teeth the burning words Of defiance:
You shall not cruelty mankind upon a
Cross Of goldP Mistakes may have been
made and injustice may have been done,
especially in the Southern States, where
the flower Of the Populist army is to be
found, but this isnot the time to settle ac-
counts, adjust wrongs, discuss differences,
or correct mistakes. We are in the face Of
the enemy, we are upon the field Of
battle, the welfare Of our country is at
stake, sacred cause is trembling In the
balance, our opponents are dangerously
we'll equipped and thoroughly organized
and the contest is fierce and relentless;
all personal ambitions, therefore, should
be suppressed, all personal grievances
should be forgotten, and all minor diff
ferences should be deferred till the bat
tie is won or lost. Every gun should
be turned upon the common enemy.
"WhetheF Mr.. Bryan is q Populist or
not, one thing is absolutely certain,

The Presidents Message.

If for nothing else President Cleve.
lands last general message to Con
gress will always be memorable from
the fact that in it the head of a ma.
tional party congratulates the coun.
try on the defeat Of that party. OF
all the possible changes of politics
who could ever have dreamed that
the last important act of the man
raised to power by sweeping party
victory four years ago would be to ex
press public Fluctuations on the over.
throw of the same party organization.
Such an occurrence is without pre-.
cedent in political history
The feature of the mes sage which
will probably elicit the greatest in
terest is that relating to the war in
Cuba. The policy of our govern.
ment, as here set forth, is sensible and
judicious. He points out that while
Spain has been unable TO suppress
the insurrection, neither have the in.
surgents been able to set up govern.
ment. Event the form of a civil
government has been abandoned and
the cause of Cuban independence is
at present represented purely by
military authority disconnected with
which other nations may enter into
relations. The situation is such as to
suggest the necessity of Intervention
to end a struggle which is continually
growing more harmful, and the gov.
erpment has taken a step 10 that di
feetion. 1t has proposed to Spain
'that the island be granted complete
autonomy of government, and, since
the insurgents could not be expected
10 Jay down their arms on mere
pledge from Spain, the fulfllment of
which they would have no means of
securing, our government will guar.
antee the execution of the agreement.
No answer has yet been received rom
Spain iu reply to this proposal, aud
whether or not it would be acceptable
to the insurgents is yet to be ascer.
tanned. If this overture is rejected,
Intervention may be compelled to
take another form, but that the pres.
ent posture Of affairs cannot be al.
lowed tc continue is quite certain.
As regards the financial situation
President Cleveland has nothing new
to offer. He declares bis belief that
the present tariff law, if allowed a
fair opportunity, will yield sufficient
revenue to provide for the expenses
Of the government if due economy is
pTacticed, He reiterates his previous
recommendation that the greenbacks
should be retired and that the nation.
al banks should be compelled to re.
deem their own notes. He recon.
mends the reduction of the tax on
circulation to one.quarter per cent
1t is now ! per cent.

sentation of the uneasiness in the
public mind over the aggregation q
