To the Voters of Sumner County.

If you are opposed to paying the
freight from here to New York City,
distance Of about 1900 miles when
you want to ship a car Of corn from
here to Galveston, Texas, distance
Of little over $50 miles, you should
vote the POpulist ticket, for they will
force the railroads to give the farmer
justice, by controlling the railroads if
they have to own them to do it. A
railroad president gels from $50, 900 to
$4,000 per year, and at the average
price of wheat for the last three years
it would require 100000 bushels of
wheat to pay the $4,000 man, or
225,0O0 bushels of wheat to pay the
little man his $4,000 per year, In
ten years you would give 2,250,0OO
bushels of wheat to pay one mans
salary for ten years, when you can get
plenty of men who would be glad to
do the same work for the whole ten
years for what we pay for one year.
If you do not like to pay this fabulous
salary you should vote the POpuliSt
ticket. There is large number of
railroad officials that could be dupli-
Gated for One-tenth of what we are
paying now, and the farmer pays the
freight.
Say, farmers, if we could draw in
tereSt On what we owe, and issue
promises to pay and call them dollars
and lend them out at from 10 tC "A
per cent, we could all get rich in
little while. Don't you think we
could? That's just what our national
bankers are dOing,and the dear people
are paying the interest on what they
owe, besides paying per cent interest
on their security, the government
bonds. If you are opposed to doing
that sort of business, vote the POpu-
list ticket. If they get control they
will arrange it so that if you have to
borrow money you VIII not have to
pay more than 3 per cent interest
at the outside. Let me ask you, is it
anything like business to perpetuate
the national banking system. The
Populist party is opposed to banks Of
issue. We are in favor of the free
coinage of silver at Is to l, and op-
posed to the issuing of any govern
ment bonds. We are in favor of the
government issuing all the money
of silver, gold or paper, and every
dollar full legal tender for all debts,
public and private. Which system do
you like the best? If it is the latter,
get your shoulder to the Populist
wheel aud give us boost.

Anthony's Mercy Plea.

A rather extraordinary circular
has been received at the Office of State
Treasurer Anterior which tells most
graphically the story of burst boom.
1t is from the city of Anthony in
Harper county and is signed by John
D. Brown as mayor and J. P. Horton
as city clerk.
The circular is addressed to "The
Holders of Anthony City Bonds" and
In its preface says:
sin compliance with the sentiments
expressed and adopted at a public
meeting of the taxpayers Of this city,
held on February 24th, 1896, the city
council begs leave to present for your
earnest consideration a statement of
the present material and financial
condition of the city of Anthony
with a view to bringing about a read
Justment of its enormous bonded debt
so as to make it possible for the city
to meet its interest payments when
due without reSOrting to such exces.
sive taxation as will drive away bust
ness and trade and further reduce the
valuation of business and property"
Anthony was one of the many Kan
sas towns that saw flush times. In
1883 it had three national banks, one
state bank and four loan companies,
paying taxes on an aggregate assessed
valuation of less than $1,000.
In those days the population of the
city was over 200 and the assessed
valuation was over 100000. The
town was growing, railroads were
built, school houses were erected and
coal holes were sunk. Bonds and in.
terest accumulated until today the
city finds itself almost bankrupt anC
is compelled to acknOwlede it.
Today the city has less than l ,lOC
population. Its assessed valuation i.
but 100000 while its bonded indebtr
edness haSreached the sum of SIC. 300

county and state taxes also will re-

city is now assessed at two-thirds O

Ever since Prof Koch startled the world
BY promising to cure consumption with the
Koch lymph and his complete failure to do

discovery which would prove an absolute,
certain cure for that dread disease. Over a
quarter of a century ago DR.. r. v. Pierce,
chief consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, put in claim
for medicine, which he had discovered
and used, in his extensive practice, that
would cure ninety.eight per cent. ofall cases
of consumption when taken in all its early
stages. Time has proved that his assertion
was based on facts gained from experience.
His Golden Medical Discovery fas cured
many thousand people in all parts of the
world, and DR.. Pierce invites all interested
TO send to him for free book which gives
the names, addresses and photographs of
many prominent people who have willingly
testified to the marvellous curative proper.
