WHAT PINCHEs OUR FARMERS.

There are other things that pinch the
farmer than the demonetization of one
of the money metals. Its national,
state. municipal and corporate debt and
consequent taxes. Besides there is TOO
many public offices. and TOO high sal
aries. Debt and taxation have come
to them and TO us IN addition TO the low
prices enforced 10y appreciated gold. At
the close of the war. in 1866. the out
standing principal OF the public debt
was S2.6S0, Ga, ,S69-Such a staggering
sum that the mind fails to grasp il,
In thirty years this debt has been re-
duced over 81. SOC, ,O00, 600, while a great
er sum has been paid for interest, pen
sions and other forms OF government
expenditure DO the farmers think
.gthat any nation is so rich in resources
that such load can he carried without
feeling il? The federal government ex-
pends over million dollars per day.
For the past thirty years there has
also been q steady increase in the rate
of state and local expenditures. Tax
rates in some parts Of the country have
nearly doubled
There has not been railroad built
IN years, 4 court house or a school
house, but that has been built on Dor
rowed money. Almost every town in
the land has gone into debt for improv-
ed water systems. street railways and
the like. Half the farm machinery and
implements Of the country have been
bought on credit There is national
STATE municipal. corporate and individ-
ual debt upon every hand and which
in the aggregate is simply enormous
This drain upon the farmers purse
for federal, state and local purposes
has been concurTent with a constant
decrease in the value of his land and
in the prices OF the produce OF his land.

SOME KANSAS FIGURING.

The respective friends Of Morrill,,
Troutman and Potter are making up
some interesting tables of figures on the
number of delegates claimed by each.
Taken separately they are very prom
ising and encOura ging, no doubt as
they must be discouraging to the other
fellow, but aggregated they seem to
estimate each delegate at least twice,
and therefore become impossible and
contradictory. Taking the Morrill, dele
gates already elected in conjunction
with those ''dead sure for Troutman,
and Potter is left without so many as
his home delegation. Upon the other
hand Potter's and TrOutman'S figures
combined leave the old man in the
SOUP Meanwhile all three concede that
Peters is not going up to Topeka with
anything short OF formidable follow
ing. There is evidently going to be
some surprises and diSappointments in
and over that August convention.
Grosvenor is not in it with some of
these delegate enumerating statisti
clans.
Figuring is necessary Of course, both
for the candidates and for the party,
but it should not all be expended on the
number and preferences of the dele
gates if the signs of the situation count
for anything a little figuring on the
platform might prove no bad thing.
Is the demand of the State Temperance
union for prohibition plank going to
be needed or not? The question ought
TO be figured out How about Judge
Martin? Is the platform 20 reaffirm the
belief of the party two and four years
ago on the money question, or is it to
conform TO the single St Louis stan
dard idea? Is it TO be for the largest
possible use of silver on parity, or
for gold out and out; for the free coin

or the unlimited and independent Is to

mission, reaffirmatiOn. or neither?

SENATOR MoRRLL ON FREE WOOL

Even in friendly hands, the promo
ton of sheep husbandry has long been
a difficult problem where land Is dear
and where winter feeding is most ex-
Densiye. The woods of Australia, Az
rica and South, America are produced
at a cost so small comparatively with
all other countries that the duty on
wool imported into the United States
has to be placed at a rate almost as
high as would be expedient II IL We're
q luxury or it would yield little reye-
nue., end the protection would be
wholly inadequate.
The wide difference in the market
price Of wool before protective duues
were repealed and after will show the
benefit derived by the wool grower
The market price of Ohio XA wool IN
July, 1892, was % to % cents per
pound; in December. 1894, after wool
was made free. it was Is to 1872 cents
Der pound, and today QS9) it is less
The Democratic tariff has made sheep
husbandry no longer successful Iii any
American state, and this most attrac-
tive national industry, if free trade
supporters hold the power, is to be
wholly and forever abandoned and ex-
tinguished. Now. while the woolen
mills of Great Britain are busy and
have nothing to complain of, here in
the United States it is different, where
it is reported that only per cent Of
the hands in the woolen manufacture
are now employed, and those at re-
duction of wages. The sales of wool
daily reported are the smallest ever
known, and among the non-dividend
class of mills the woolen mills are more
largely represented than any other.

BIG CORN EXPORTS.

This year promises to be a record
breaker in the expectation of Indian
corn to Europe and other parts of the
world. Since January begun the out
ward movement of that grain has been
much more than double the exports of
the first half of 1895.
The increase in this especial branch
of the American grain trade is very en-
couraging, because it promises 20 have
a lasting effect upon our European Gus
toners by making them familiar with
the good qualities of corn as an article
Of food. That grain needs only to be
more widely known abroad to become
far more effective in swelling the ex-
port trade of the United States. In
many parts of Europe it is still a novel
and little underSto food, for either man
or beast, and in some of the districts
where it is least known it would be
most useful.
The stimulating cause Of the great in
crease in the exports Of maize has been
the a.bnormally low price, but the fu-
ture demand may arise from other
sources more agreeable To American
farmers

All the water was squeezed out OF
greenback valuations by the resump-
ton of gold payments. The increase
In the production of commodities; the
progress in industrial methods; the
cheapening of transportation by which
Dakota and Argentina and Australia
have been brought 10 our doors, and the
steadily increasing application OF
science to the methods of production,
have beaten down prices everywhere,
but the demonetiZadon Of silver has
beaten them down more than any other
single agency.
To get out of debt we must have bet
ter times To have better times more
money and higher prices are essential
The Eagles platform for reaching such
better times is Protection, Reciprocity
and RECOMMENDATION. Everything that
Amerca produces must be protected,
including her silver product, and no
country must be permitted TO send any
thing TO this country TO sell except un-
der reciprocity arrangements.
The revenues from customs for the
fiscal year just closed amounted 20
$3.50, ,534 3j1 This is but 100000
more than last year. The total receipts
for the year amounted to 1926, 1S9, ,226.
But the expenditures Of the year just
closed, under Democratic policy,
amounted to S352, ,231, 40. leaving an
out and out deficit of S26,042.244 in
addition to the S2GO,OOO,O00 of bonds
sold by Cleveland to meet expenses and
keep up the gold reserve. No other
argument than the one presented by
these figures is necessary. Something

rHE CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoR RALLY

So far as numbers are concerned the
national gathering OF Christian En-
deayor societies at Washington this
week will eclipse all other conventions
of this great convention year. Seating
capacity will be provided for 10000 En-
deavorers, and preparations are being
made for the entertainment or 100000
strangers.
The old-time residents of Washington
will think that the war days have re-
turned. But, instead Of glistening bay
onets, shining muskets, grim cannon
and martial Informs, there will be tens
of thousands Of young men and wo-
men, waving tiny flags and wearing
brave badges, the like Of which are
only seen on great occasions, such as
the Inauguration of a president of the
United States.
Washington will lose it's identity
when this army descends upon 1t The
brigadeS will not only come from every
quarter of this broad land, but from
every corner of the earth; from the
most distant ends of Russia; from re-
mote regions of China; from the dark
depths Of Africa; from far OH Aus
tralia; from the crimesmeared land or
the Turk; from the mysterious ends OF
Egypt; from hidden places in India,
and from all the zones Of the earth,
they will pour into the broad streets
and avenues of Washington and show
the universe what a far-reaching body
the army of the Christian EndeavOr Is.
The proceedings of such vast con-
course of evangelical enthusiasts must
have more than a passing Interest for
the secular world. Bound together
by the ties OF a loving conservation,
this great organization dedicateS itself
TO the work of investing the common
obligations and duties Of lie with the
spirit of the Master. Its cardinal aim
is the exaltation of Christian citizen
ship and the practical incubation of
the ethical principles that were laid
down by the Great Teacher.
1t is s'eaSy TO account for the popular
favor that has been bestowed upon this
organization by believers and non-be-
levers. 1t seeks TO exploit no particu-
lar creed save the Christianizing Of
American citizenship. It's spirit and
purpose are oentered in the word Zen
deavor," word happily chosen by the
founder OF the order and one which
signifies much 10 men OF all sorts
and conditions.

THE WHY OF SAM PETERS.

There has of late been some criticism
indulged in. by a number of papers,
touching certain letter, and the subse-
quent candidacy of Judge Samuel r.
Peters for the governorship. The mat
ter was afterwards explained by Judge
Peters himself. Whether there was
any call or necessity for Judge Peters
to assign reason or make an explana-
ton of how or why Of his candidacy we
think doubtful However that may
be, any insinuation or suggestion that
he is crooked. either as man or poll
tician, viii not 90 with the people OF
this state. There is not dishonest hair
on Sam Peters devoted head. His
whole public and private life stands a
protest to any such possible imputa-
ton. As a lawyer. as judge on the
bench, as a congressman, in all the
years in which the people of south Kan
sas have known him, intimately, no
charge of croOkedneSs or of slackneSs
was ever lodged against him. He is
utterly incapable Of Intentionally going
off wrong. Leaving the bench IN com
Portable circumstances he entered con-
gress first as one Of the Big -Four, and
then again and again from the Big
Seventh, where he remained a public
drudge and slave to the needs and de-
mands of the largest single constlt-
uency in the country, until he became
so poor that bankruptcy staring him
in the face he declined being a candi-
date any longer. The present position
being filed by him was not undertaken
for its pay or emolumentS, but solely
for the purpose of putting new state
institution ON its feet and for the ac-
commodatiOn of Governor Morrill,.
Sam Peters was not the first or only
man in the confidence of the admins
tration who was fooled into the belief
that Morrill, had decided not TO be
candidate again. There being no law
against any man becoming CANDIDATE
for any Office, and scores of wide-aWake
and experienced party leaders being
convinced that the Republican party
was threatened with defeat under
either of the men seeking the nomina-
ton for governor, and believing that
with the nomination of Peters a vic
tory would be easy, he was impor-
tuned to- come to his party's rescue un-
til he finally under great pressure con-
sented. But not even this, or any
other excuse, wasanecesSaryp prerequis-
ite for his entering the race. And so
he is in it, and honorably as none need
be assured. That he viii prove a
strong candidate Is as certain as that
if nominated he would poll as big a
vote as any man who could be named.
