opening. of competing farms in various
parts of the world None would be
of any value that left out consideration
of this controlling trade force, compe-
tition, that operates alike on and DOM
mates even those Industries that are
favored with governmental shelter.
Railways, trusts and combines are I'M
able to resist it's effects for long, and
how much less are the isolated farmers
so scattered as to be unable to form
combinations. This has operated to
take from the farmer the extra gains
resulting from his use Of machinery.
On the other hand, this journal COM
pletely ignores the fact that the situa-
ton has it's compensations in the re-
duction In cost of those things the
farmer buys, and that, if he loses as
a seller, he evens up as buyer, save
as the equilibrium is now and then dis
turbed by some such monopoly as the
nail trust. The balanced mental ration
would include all these facts and
others space precludes from mention,
which would afford means by
which to form a correct conclusion,
both as to causes and remedies.

AN UNANSWERED CHALLENGE.


The Courier-Journal has kept stand
ing in its editorial columns fair prop
osition. 1t prefaces it with this extract
from the acceptance speech of Mr..
Bryan: I'VE contend that free and I'M
limited coinage by the United States
alone will raise the bullion value of sill
Yer to it's coinage value, and thus make
silver bullion worth $129 per ounce in
gold throughout the world" Premis-
ing that ''if this theory is right it will
secure us genuine bimetallism. If it
is wrong it would force upon us disas-
trous silver recommendation. Upon the
correctness of this theory, therefore,
depends the justification of every claim
made by Mr.. Bryan for the free, unlim-
tied and Independent coinage of silver
by the United States" it makes what
it calls and what certainly is fair
proposition:
If says the Courier-Journal, "Mr. Bry-
an, or any other human being, will show that
this country, when it had the free coinage
OF both gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to
l, or any other ratio. was ever able to bring
the bullion value of both metals to the
coinage value and keep them together thus
securing and maintaining their circulation as
money side by side, and preventing one from
eXpelling the other, the Courier Journal will
withdraw all opposition to the free coinage
Of silver.
If Mr.. Bryan, or any other human being
VIII show that any other nation on earth
by the free coinage of both gold and silver
at any ratio, was ever able to bring the
bullion value of both metals to the coinage
value and keep them together thus securing
ana maintaining their circulation as money
side by side, and preventing one from expell-
ing the other the Courer-Journal will with
draw all opposition to the free coinage of
silver"
On the recent occasion of Mr.. Bry-
ans visit to Louisville and public adj
dress there, the Courier Journal print
ed this challenge or proposition promi-
nently on its, editorial page and accom-
panied 1T with a temperate editorial
calling the attention of the candidate
to it and asking him to answer it in
his speech that evening Mr.. Bryan
made some sarcastic illusions to gold
bug editors. and contented himself
with repeating his customary state
ment about the ability Of this country
to legislate for itself and adopt any
monetary system it chose without re-
gard to and independent of all foreign
nations. There was not even refer
ence to the assertion that started out
early in the race, but whose tires have
been thoroughly and irreparabIy
punctured about France maintaining
a parity for seventy or eighty years.
Nothing but the assertion that. in
some unexplained way, the Americans
are exempt from the laws that govern
the trade of other people, and that all
they have to do is to say let 1t be SO
and it will forthwith become SO. This
involves either an ignorance or a de-
liberate ignoring OF our own history
from the colonial experiments down
through those Of states, ending
with the Sherman silver purchase act.
The challenge of the Courier-Journal
will remain unaccepted to the end Of
the campaign, simply because it can
not be met.

WHERE TOPUT THAT$lO, 900
The Coal Hole Money Might Be Prop
erly Used
10 BEAUTIFY The APPROACHES

Of the New Bridge After the Ugly
Trolley Car Bridge Has BeenGOtOut
OF the way-A Petition Being Circu-
lated for This Purpose.
There are various opinions about how
the $4,000 in the coal hole fluid might
best be used for the interests of the city
It can not, however, be used for any other
purpose than to prospect for coal until
there is an act of the Legislature turning
it over to the city for use for whatever
purpose the council might designate.
The latest plan suggested is to spend
the money in besutifying the approaches
to the bridge and the city park, When
the new bridge is built it will afford an
excellent opportunity for the adornmen
of the city park which will be at one of
the approaches. The narrowing of the
| river channel will extend the boundary
of the park a hundred feet farther out
into the river, and this is in Inns with the
plan of Prof Worrall to build retain
ing wall and have promenade on the
river bank.
OF course no beautifying of approaches
can be done while the hidsou9 conglom-
Grafton of piles and timbers that COM
pose the street car bridge is in the way.
But that bridge is only temporary and
must eventually be torn down.
Prof. Worrall's plans to beautifv and
improve the park are now on file in the
Office of the city engineer and his esti-
mate of the cost is $4,000, the amount
in the coal hole fund. The retaining
wall proposed to be built out in the river,
narrowing the channel might connect
with the south approach to the bridge
and the park idea might also be carried
out with reference to the approach.
This is the plan of those who want to
he in hat M rThav
say that the money could not be spent in
better way nor in manner which
would raise higher the standard of the
city. The projectors say that the thing
most lacking in Topeka is public park
which would De an honor TO the city and
the coal hole fund might be used in such
a way as to give the city what is most
needed.
One of the gentlemen interested in the
plan but who does not want his name
used now said to a JOURNAL reporter:
mo one in Topeka wants to see the
money put in the ground. Topeka has
had all the experience with coal hole
that she needs. There may be a few
who would like to see the money spent in
prospecting for coal but they are men
who hope to secure some personal benefit.
"If the money is used on the APP
proaches for the bridge and the city park
the city will have something to show for
the expenditure of the money. If it ia
put in a hole in the ground that will be
the last of it.
The surveys at the park have been
made and there is nothing to do now but
do the work. lam sure that the people
of the city would like to see the money
expende d where it will do some good
1t is probab that petition along
this line will be presented to the city
council soon. Meanwhile the Commit
tee on ways and means still has tho mat
ter of location of new coal hole I'M
der consideration.

VINCENT WON'T HAEE.IT.
All Seem to Drop the PopuIist Nomi-
nation
FOR GOVERNOR LIKE A HOT PLATE.

Vincent Wants to Run Again Is Calder
head for COnsress-Leedy and W. A.
Harris the Popular Candidates for
she Executive Office.
Mr.. w. D. Vincent of Clay Center, ex-
member of the state board of railroad
commissioners, Will not be the Populist
candidate for governor. Mr.. .Vincenrs
positive refusal of the nomination for
governor was presented to the PoPulist
state central committee last night by Mr..
A. A. Newman of Clay Center, member
of the legislature from that county.
Mr.. Vincent has been for months talk
ed of as q likely candidate for governor,
but has insisted that he did not want the
mination; he now has positively stated
that he would not acc0pt the office If 1t
should be rendered him.
Along with this announcement comes
the news that Mr.. ViRcent does not want
to keep out of politics altogether, either,
but is anxious to be candidate for con-
gress in the Fifth district against Mr. w.
A. Calderhead, the present Republican
incumbent.
H. n. Gaines of the Salina Union ex-
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton is also to be a candidate for con-
gress, although he did not want to talk
about his candidacy when questioned by
Z STATE JOURNAL reporter.
The friends of Mr. Vincent now say
that Mr.. Gaines has been largely respon-
sible for the Vincent boom for governor,
aud that he was using that means to give
himself a clear field for the congressional
nomination in the Fifth district.
Ex-State Superintendent of Insurance
S. III. Snider who was announced as
candidate for governor last week was the
only candidate for governor at the meet
ing. Mr.. Snider said to STATE JOUR-
NAL reporter: 81 am not a candidate for
governor but am willing and anxious
that the party shall nominate the
man for that Office who can
win. 1t is true that some of my friends
are talking of me as candidate and of
course l can't prevent that talk"
The sentiment of the Populist leaders
present at the meeting seemed TO be
about equally divided between Exon

Editor w. J. Costigan of E. Fl. Shows
paper seemed to be about the only man
among all the newspaper men and poll
ticians who favored the denomination of
Ex-Governor L D. Lewelling. Mr..
Costigan was enthusiastic in his defense
of the Lewelling administration but it
did not seem to have much effect on the
party leaders who desire a new Moses to
head their ticket this year.

just a scheme of colored man who
wants to make some money. A few years
ago he got up scheme to send the Ne

duped every one he could into giving
money he disappeared. There is just
about as much sense in the present
scheme as there was in that.
