GOVERNORS PRIVATE SECRETARY.

Governor Leedy's first appointment
is that of Ed G. Little Of Abilene as
his private secretary. If the newly
elected Governor can succeed In satis-
flying his supporters as well in his
subsequent appointments as he has In
this, then the matter of patronage will
give him little trouble. That Mr.. Lit
tie stands high In the party is evil
denced by the liberal support given
him for the nomination for Congress
msn-st-large at the Abilene conVen-
tiOn. In fact that support was much
more Creditsble than 1t appeared to be
because of the fact that up to few
weeks prior to the convention the nom
instion was almost unanimously con-
ceded to Mr.. Botkin, whose long months
Of incesssnt and effective work for the
party had given him a place in the
hearts Of PopulistS as a man who was
deserving of the highest honOrs the
party could bestow. Although Mr..
Little declared In the Abilene conVen-
tion that he was In sympathy with the
POpulists, he has been regarded as
representative of those menWhose patrl
otto devotion to principle recently led
them to sever their connection with the
party with which they have been sffili-
ated all of their lives. But Mr.. Little's
political standing was not the only
reason for his appointment. He is
man Of wide experience in public sf-
fairs, he is a good counsellor and is
particularly we'll fitted for the duties
OF the position to which he has been
called. 1t Ia conceded that In making
this appointment Mr.. Leedy exercised
excellent judgment.

A WORD TO SENATORIAL CANDIDATES.

WORD TO SENATORIAL CANDIDATES.
The ADVOCATE does not wish to
monOpOllze the publication Of matter
relating to the candidacy Of persons
for the United States Senate simply
because the compsny's principal stock
holder Is himself q candidate. This
paper was established as q PopuliBt
journal and It aims to represent party
interests. Every member Of the party
who is candidate for State Office or
forC Congressman or United States SEN
ator from this State is entitled to
space In these columns for an sppro-
pirate introduction to our readers, and
to answer any proper question relating
to his candidacy.
For these purposes our columns are
open to any Of the Senatorial candi-
dates who personally wish to avail
themselves of the opportunity.

THE STATE PRINTER CONTEST.

The contest for the Office of State
Printer promises to be spirited. There
seems to be a friendly rivalry among
quite a number of newspaper men for
the position. So far as the ADVOCATE
has heard the following are the csndi-
dates: Lyman Naugle, Wellington
Voice w. L. Brown, ,Kingmsn Journal; /;
]. S. Parks, Beloit CGIl; B. E. Kies,
Wichita CommOner;; j. G. Buchanan,
Pittsburg KGnSan; E. F. Heisler,
Kansas City (Kss.) SUM- ]. E. Latimer,
Pleassnton Herald; George Wagner,
formerly of the ADVOCATE, and E. H.
Snow, Ottawa Journal. There are
probably others, but the ADVOCATE is
not informed IS to their intentions.
With scarcely an exception the csndi-
dates are men who are pretty well
known by the silver men Of the State.
A pleasing feature Of the contest Is
the absence Of anything In the nature
Of q personal fight. 1t Is certainly un-
necessary to introduce anything Of
that kind. It is probable that the
legisla tors win be disposed to give

them no good ought not to exist. They
have to compete In free trade market
with products of cheap foreign labor;
the home price of all they have to sell
is regulated by the price of what they
sell abroad; hence they must be per-
mltted to purchase their supplies at
free trade prices, or they cannot hold
their own.
And to talk about protecting the
American lsborer while admitting his
foreign rival freely into the country
and employing him in our shops, fac
tories and mines side by side with our
own people, is absurd.
1t is for these reasons that Senator
PETER favors free trade In all articles
of everyday use among farmers and
working people generally. For reVe-
nue. he would substitute a graduated
tax on large landed estates and on in
comes. If the rich people are to rule
the country, let them pay the taxes.

RECENT reports Of National bodies
representing labor organizations shows
the expenses attending the holding Of
National conventions, as seen from a
staten ent published In q New York
paper. The annual convention of the
Cigarmakers' International Union In
Detroit last September cost the inter
national union nearly $4,000 for hall
rent, salaries, mileage expenses, and
time Of delegates. The election Of Off.
GERS by referendum throughout the
United States cost about $4,000 more.
The irOnmolders' last National conven-
tion cost over $4,000.

participate in that kind of fight. It
is reasonable to presume that with this
array of hard working reform editors,
the Legislature will make a choice

SENATOR PETER AND THE TARIFF.

AS was promised last week, in re-
sponse to an inquiring reader, we now
give a brief statement Of Senator
PETERS views concerning the tariff:
First-He never was In favor Of high
duties on any articles except luxuries,
as his writings In the Kansas Farmer
sbundantly testify.
Second-He has long favored free
sugar, free salt, free lumber and free
coal. This fact, also, appears in the
columns of the Kansas Farmer, ex.
tending ss far back IS ten years ago or
longer.
Third-He would lay high duties on
all articles Of luxury, such as fine dress
goods, fine laCes, embroidery, etc.,
costly carpets, fancy fOwllng pieces,
wines, liquors, cigars, high-grsde cut
lerY, and all articles used only by the
rich and fsstldious; and he would
admit free of duty all articles of every
day use among the poorer classes Of
our people, such as sugar, loW.grade
clothing, common shoes, heavy gloves,
cheap hats, agricultural implements
common furniture, rough lumber, fence
wire, nails, etc.
Fourth-If the gold standard Is to be
permanently established he would favor
free trade absolute In all classes of srtl
cles except such as are used only by
the wealthy and the prohlgste.
Changing conditions have materially
modified the Senator's opinions on the
tariff question. He believes in good
wages and fair profits on the products
Of labor; and, until the effects of the
gold standard policy began to show
themselves In falling prices, increasing
immigration and rapid development OF
agriculture In other lands, he had be-
lieVed in the Jackson theory Of protec
tion-the laying Of revenue duties SC
adjusted as to encourage domestic In.
dustrles and protect them, as far sE
such revenue legislation could, against
foreign competitors.
But the sharp competition that oul
farmers now have to meet In foreign
markets, and the deadly rivalry of th'
foreign lsborer In our own country
have put a new face on things anC
have brought new questions to thI
front.

THE EXPORT SUGAR BOUNTY QUESTION

The great Napoleon, in order to sup
ply the growing demand for sugar, Of
fered and paid bountiea or prizes for the
discovery Of practicable methods for
producing sugar on a commercial scale.
About the same time the Prussisn
King adopted similar mesJures; and
from that way of beginning, sugar
making plants were constructed, and
In time beet sugar made in France and
Germany became formidable compet-
itOrs of the article made from cane In
the West Indies and Louisiana.
AS soon as it became settled that
beet sugar manufacture could be made
commercially profitable, in order to
stimulate the industry, an export
bounty was offered by both France
and Germany and, in one form or
other, that system has continued to
the present time. The effect has been
to build up trade in sugar that has
seriously crippled the cane sugar in
dustry in the West Indies islands. So
serious has this competition grown
that the attention of the British gov.
ernment has frequently been called to
the subject and its interference asked.
The attention Of the French and Ger
man governments, also, has been di-
rected to the injury to the tropical
sugar making business growing out of
the export bounty system. And now
we are informed by late news from
London that
Communications have been reopened be-
tween the English Foreign Office and the
French and German governments pointing
toward another conference on the sugar
bounty system. OHicial opinion on each side
favors the abolition of the bounty premium.
The English Colonial Office is constantly re-
ceiVing the worst reports Of the decreasing
prosperity Of the sugar estates in the West
Indies. 1t is said by recent mail advices that
the majority Of the great planters put FIVE
years as the limit Of the West Indian sugar in
dustry II the bounty system among European
powers continues.
1t Is represented that, although the
cost of producing the cane sugar has
been reduced from 800 to $50 per ton,
there Is no profit in the business.
In order to reimburse the govern
ment for the outlay in payment of ex-
port bounties, 1t has long been the
custom to levy tax on the sugar con-
sumed at home, and this operates to
the injury of consumers there. AS q
consequence syndicate is proposed at
Hanover which shall operate through
out Germany In favor of the abolition
Of sugar bounties and the reduction Of
the tax on sugar for home consump-
tion.
The export bounty system is wrong
In principle. Whether the amount re-
quired to meet the expense is small or
large, it has to be paid in taxes by the
people of the exporting country; and
besides being direct injury at home,
it gives the exporters that much ad-
vantage over foreigners who are en-
gagged in the same business.
There is only one kind Of bounty
that can be justified, and that is the
kind originally paid by the French and
German governments-s bounty for
the establishment of a national indus
try. But as soon as the industry is
established, or as soon as 1t is found
that It cannot be established then the
