Once upon time Chat makes
you think of childhood stories,
dosen't it?).-it matters not
when and it matters not where,
a ship was wrecked off the coast
of fertile island. The crew and
passengers were saved, together
with many things from the. ships
store. But food and shelter must
be produced, and many were put
to farming by inclination or gen
eral desire. Dogwood being plen-
ty, plow- beams we're made of 1T.
AS the population increased and
and more farmers used plows.
lockwood gave out, farmers could
not pillow, food became scarce,
and distress and anxiety over
spread the island. Some dog wood
plow- beams were held by a few
who had not used them much.
At this serious crisis a farmer
went to the community's plow-
maker, and asked to have aplow-
beam made of oak, which grew
in abundance, but the plow-mak-
er asked Him if he ever heard OF
plow-beam made of oak! He
| must be crazyl The matter was
laid before the. officers who own
ed the few lockwood plow- beams,
| and as they were astonished at
the very idea! The farmer was
told to go home, as he had lost
his reason. But necessity being
the mother of invention, the far
mer slept over the matter and
presented himself before the
plow- maker next morning, and
him he thought he could solve
the problem. If he would make
him an oak ow-beam and base
it on the lockwood beams, he
thought it would work. This was
a new idea. 1t was laid before
the owners of the lockwood beams
and they thought it would work
So mechanics were set to work
making oak pillow beams, and
soon there were a thousand beams
based upon the dozen dog wood
beams, on which the owners o.
} the lockwood beams collected q
royalty. 1t worked. In 20 years
the owners of the dog wooo
beams owned all the island-lanc
cattle, houses, and all the OAK
beams, too, And wasn't it a pref
ty slick scheme? OF course, W.
wise Americans laugh at sucf
childish stories. We don't d.
such foolish things, not we. Oul

e. Attention Democrats!

l would like to ask my silver
democratic friends what they
think of a silver president and a
goldbug house Of representatives,.
If the democrats should nomina-

New York, Pennsylvania and the
other goldbug states elect gold
bugs for the house, where would
you be benefited? this is on a
par with "Silvef republican,
there can be no such thing, vs
the past record OF that party,

A Trayesty on Justice.

On July 6thi Justice Robbins
court Walter Beaumont, an all
around tough, confidence man
and blk, was tried for breaking
an earthern pitcher over the
head of an inoffensive Chinaman
who is we'll known for his pleas
ant department, and good nature.
1t seems that the above named
worthless character was return
ing to the hotel Idaho, after feed
ing the blister, who is domiciled
in the old tin shop, and meeting
the Chinaman on the sidewalk,
deliberately with malice afore-
thought, and without any prova-
cation whatever, committed as
sault and battery by breaking
the pitcher on his head, cutting
through his new hat and the
scalp to the bone.
At the trial it was proven by
three reputable witnesses, and
the prisoner confessed to the act,
but in the face of all this over
whelming evidence, which was
not controyerted in any detail,
the jury with the exception OF
one { Mr. Lyle was in favor OF
violence, and disorder, and sid.
ed with this lawbreaker and dead
beat. This verdict will go thun-
dering down the ages as the most
brainless one ever rendered, and
there is a good chance for five OF
them to be indicted before the
grand jury, in October, for per-
! jury.
What rendered the matter
more aggravating was the defiant
attitude of this undesirable add.

was sorry that he did not have

I can see mortgage fiends at their
hellish work. I can see the hopes Of
the industrious farmers blasted as
they burn corn for fuel because its
prices will not pay the cost of trans
pOrtatiOn and dividends on millions Of

bonds. l can see our people Of the
west grOaning and burdened under tax
alton to pay debts of states, counties
and cities incurred when money was
more abundant and bright hopes of the
future were held out to lead them on.

The Goodland republic. [volume] (Goodland, Kan.) 1891-1907, 1896-10-02

a GOOD deal is heard these days of
"the most enlightened nations of the
earth" and our republican friends tell
US the United States should copy there
from. Who are these nations? England,
the bully, who has shed more blood in
the cause of greed than ever flowed in
honest strife; Spain, with two centuries
of cruelty and torture behind her; Tur-
key, whose butcheries of christians for
years have shocked civilization; Egypt,
with its oppression; Portugal and Italy,
with their starving millions; Germany,
with its armies and its emperors, the
best of the lot. Each has its king, en-
perOr or autoCrat. 1t was from these
governments, and their tryannies, that
thesturdy men of Plymouth and James
town fed, and in search of freedom
hewed themselves homes in the virgin
forests of America. When they quilted
the shores of their fatherland they
severed every tie that bound them to
monarchial Europe, and their descend
ants have been reared in the belief that
it is better to evolve new costoms, laws
and policies than to retrograde by
returning to European conditions. This
belief has twice been consecrated on
the bloody altar Of war, and ea3h vic
tory was a herald proclaiming the peo-
pie of America we're done with mon
arches; that in The west a government
had been erected whose great primal
law was individual and national free
dom, personal and neutrality-suspicious..
Here has been reared an 'enlighten-
ment" that is a paragon, and at its
zenith now comes a great political
party, its face to the past and its back
to the star of progress, asking that the
United States modelits future from the
very governmental principles from
which our forefathers fled. 1t is true
they at present ask but for Europe's
money system, but in this can be seen
the foundation upon which the hope of
Incomplete Transformation rests. The
next step will be Europe's law of entail,
EurOpe's system of tenantry, Europe's
aristocraey, and atlast Europe's system
of monarchy. The crisis of which the
martyred Lincoln spoke is here, and
in the disguise of old world "enlighten-
ment' the forces are at work which will
if unrebuked undo the work of centur-
les, blot from history this grand re-
public and strangle forever the cause
of freedom.

The "HOness Money" Pan.

lam willing that each man shall have
whatever influence bis neighbors are
willing to give hin, but I object to any
man using his official position to cOerce
other people who have opinions Of their
own. l have had my attention called in
this state to an interview given out by
the president Of a great railroad to the
employees of the road, furnished when
they received their pay. 1 want to say
to you that if the object of the managers
of the road was merely to instruct the
employees on the money question, we
have entered upon new era when the
employer becomes school teacher, set
ting up a school of political economy
and being instructor for all who work
for him.
But if the object of that circular was
to intimate to the emplOye that if he
wanted to hold his position he must
make his views conform to the views of
the employers then it is not a new
idea, but merely revival Of the old
idea that might makes right, and pow
er, if used without regard to conscience
or public good. I want to remind en-
pIoyes of the railroads that in this
state Ohio they have the Australian
ballot, whose blessing they did not
secure through the aid of the presid-
ents Of the railroads. have had men
tell me they we're compelled to join re-
publican clubs and wear the insignia of
republicans. I shall not complain if
they do. 1 appreciate the condition of
the man who feels his wife and child
rem Juggling at his garments, and who
knows that want may stare in the face
those whom he loves if he dares to
assert The sovereign right of an Ameri-
can citizen. recognize the embarrass-
ment of his position. I will not ask
him to do anything which may en-
danger that position. Let him wear the
opposition button if he will Let him
put his name on their club list if he
must Let him contribute to the cam
paign fund if he will, but let him re-
member that there is one day in the
year when he is his own master and
can use a pencil as he pleases.-Extract
