FAIR PLAY.

Much has been made Of the speech
Of MI. Estee who said that "Wealth Is
king in peace and war We consider
the remark as a harmless d when
the paragraph proceeding it What
he said was this;
The strength Of a nation in peace
and in war is no longer measured ny
the number of its soldiers. Its debt
paving power is it's strength. Wealth
is king in peace and war
1t is unfair and boyish Journalism
to attempt to make political capital
u of this. Such ,atics are unfair and
no honorable man will care to see
them resorted to, People like to see
fair play and the party that INDUCES

mia can be carried tor Bryan on tn

ried in any other way.

Supply and Demand.

Last evening the News claimed that
the low price of farm products was
due not to the low price of silver but
to over production. Well. lets look at
statistics. In 1880 the farmers raised
49s, 900, 600 bushels Of wheat which
sold for 95 cents a bushel. In 1895
they raised ACT 600, 900, which was
thirty-one millions less and the price
was a little over so cents a bushel
The theory OF over production won'
work.

County Papers.
j. G. GRAHAM.
American Tribune.

American Tribune
One of the noticeable things in the
late campaign was the unusual ability
shown by the county papers Of all
parties throughout the contest. Each,
according to its views, made a pro-
found impression upon its community.
They were nearer to The people than
the politicians or the metropolitan
papers, consequently their influence
was greater. They might not have so
much space at their command as the
latter, but what they did say had a
personal and special interest that the
foreign papers could not command.
They were the home representatives,
giving expression to the views and
aspirations of their own people, and
they never failed to secure attention
to their utteranceS. One Of the most
marked developments Of the times
has been the county paper. Usually
conservative, it also, as rule, has the
courage of its convictions, and is one
OF the most potent influences for good
in any community or home. They de-
serve the most liberal support. In
patronizing them the people are sub
serving their own Interests, for these
papers are the best opponents of what
they are and expect to be.

Friend of Old Soldiers

COngreSsman-eect j. D. Botkin has
written letter to his cousin in which
he states his position in regard to
old soldiers. 1t is:
NeOdesha, Kan, Nov. y. 1896
My Dear TheO:-ACcept my thanks
for your earnest word Of C01gratula-
tlOn, ana for the assurance of the con-
tidence you repOSe in me, 1t is my
honest purpose to measure up as near.
ly as possible to the expectations Of
my friends, personal and political.
In my work in congress | hope to
be able to forget party lines and work
for the benefit of all the people, whose
servant | am. | believe 10 Kansas
her people, her institutions, her re-
sources and her future. To be Justly
entitled by eminent services to tie
appreciation of such commonwealth
would be fitting crown for the king
lest of men. To such an honOrI can
not hope to attain, but Ishall honestly
discharge my duties up to the measure
of my abilities.
One Of the first questions concern
ing new congressman is what is
his attitude toward the old s0ldier?"
As you are one Of 'em you have doubt
less thought of this. am not indis-
posed to speak frankly on this point.
| made three determined efforts to
enter the army myself, but was re-
Jected for the reason that | was born
a little too late in the century. As
| could not help these men on the
battlefield, my sincere desire now is to
help the shattered remnant in the
way of favorable pension legislation.
While the interests of all the people
OF Kansas must be carefully guarded,
special attention must be given to
these men who thirty odd years ago
cheerfully placed their lives on the
counLrys altar and forsaking homes
and loved ones, went out to suffer and
die, ii necessary to preserve the union.
| confess to a special veneratiOn for
the private soldier who stood in the
front line and received the heaviest
shock Of the battle and for the widows
and orphans of deceased soldiers.
The ranks of these grizled veterans
are being rapidly decimated. What
the government does for them must
be quickly done. They shoal2 be in
yited TO take about what they want.
But little proof should BE required
beyond the fact of honorable dis
charge. A service pension law should
have been enacted years ago, followed
by adequate provisions for disabili-
ties, etc.
l trust | NAV he Of service in con-
tgreSs to this most deserving class of
our citizens. Very truly.

BRYAN WRITES.
The White Metals Champion Is Sanguine
of Victory Four Years Hence.

New York. Nov. 30.-In the Decem-
Der number of the North American
Review. published today Mr. Bryan
has an article in which he discusses
the result of the election as affecting
the status of the silver question.
The issue on which the election
turned he describes as the greatest
issue ever submitted to the American
people in time of peace" The deCla-
ration of the Chicago convention in
favor of the free coinage of silver
forced upon the people of this country
a study of the money question in gen.
eral, and within the last four months
more people have been simultaneously
engaged in its consideration than
ever before in the history Of the
world.
The II suit of this study Mr.. Bryan
declares to be Temporary defeat, but
permanent gain for the cause of BIZ
metaliSm." Mr.. Bryan regards it as
a significant fact that the silver
sentiment was strongest where the
question bad Teen longest considered;
that is to say, in the West and South.
In Mr.. Dryan'S opinion, the cause Of
bimetalliSm made more rapid progress
than any cause ever made in such a
short time. He expresses his aSsur-
anCe that the election can be by no
means regarded as a conclusive settle
ment of the question at isSue.
The advocates of free coinage are
convinced, he says, that they are
iabOring in behalf of large majority
of the people; not only here, but
throughout the world, and according
to the writer they propose to continue
their contest, confident that four
more years Of experience will convince
many who have thus far resisted argu-
ments.
This confidence, Mr.. Bryan says, is
confirmed by the history of recent
elections. Mr.. Greeley was defeated
in 1872 and yet Mr.. Tilden was elected
in 1876. Mr.. Blaine was defeated in
1884, but Mr.. Harrison was elected in
1888. The Republican victory Of
1888 was followed by Democratic vic
tory of 1890 and the election of Presi-
dent Cleveland two years later. Mr..
Bryan cOunSelS the successful party
to remember that many thousands of
good Republicans have been held to
their party this year by the pledge
that it will try to secure international
DlmetalliSm,
In reference to the gold standard
Democrats, Mr.. Bryan feels assured
that they cannot do as much in 1900
as they have done this year. They
have declared their affection for
Democratic principles, while they
spared no effort to secure the success
of the opposing ticket. "They can
not" he. says, disguise themselves
again"

He is in robust health and his pro-

If he lives, show at the end of his

several railways crossing Mexico from

hundreds of new factories.
The government will stick to the
silver standard as being in the opinion
of the administration one of the best
adapted to this country and as af-
fOrding it at the present rate of
exchange an immense protection to
home industries, while at the same
time securing for its exports gold
premium which operates as a bounty

ors against bank failures. The reply

lows:
John W. Breidenthal, ESQ.,. Bank Commits.
siOner, State Of Kansas, Topeka, Kansas.
New York, Nov. 24-Dear Mr.. Breid-
enthal: We beg leave to acknowledge
the receipt of your last report, to-
gether with your very courteous let
ter Of the 10Th inst, in which you out
line the probability OF the passage of
d new banking law by the incoming
legislature. While we do not plead
guilty of the charge you make Of mis-
statements with reference to the fut-
ure of Kansas from an investors
standpoint, we must say that We have
published one or two articles on the
subject, assuming however, only a
general ground, and talking only of
what had occurred in thepa rather
than what might be expected of the
future. We send you by this mail a
copy of our latest issue, in which you
will find an editoria. on "KansaS and
the East"
We have carefully read your recon-
mendatiOns contained in your last re-
port, and compliment YOU On their
general tone, as well as the tone Of
your letter to US. In our issue Of No
vember 80 We will take the liberty of
quoting a portion of your letter, to-
gether with summary of your recon-
mendatiOnS, and it will give US great
pleasure to publicly compliment you
on both. We are not narrUw-minded
enough to believe that Kansas has no
future, neither do we believe there is
any organized attempt to endanger
her credit. Probably just at the
present time, when the election is
fresh in the minds Of the people, some
harsh things may be said that
will be regretted hereafter,
bat if Kansas will adopt the policy
which you seem to favor, and which is
in line with the action taken by the
old states of the union, the present
agitation will be cleared up to the
benefit of all concerned.
The recent crash in New Hamp-
shire, by which nearly 100000 Of
the savings of the poor people were
swept away in the very manner you
condemn, is strong argument in ia
vOr of the reforms outlined by you in
your report We certainly hope that
you will be successful in accomplish,
ing these reforms, and we believe that
their adoption will do more in re-
moving the erroneous impressions now
existing than anything else that could
occur. Thanking you again Tor your
courtesy, we remain, yours respect
fully. THE FINANCIER COMPANY,
