The Surveyors Running q Line from Plstts-
burg to the Winner ROadbed.
LIBERTY, Mo-, Dec. 30-The survey
ors Of the Kansas City & Northern
Connecting railway are again at work,
and are running line from Platts-
burg, via Carpenter, to the Winner
roadbed, north of SmithVille. Track
was laid on the Winner road to Smiths
vile, but the roadbed was built several
miles beyond that point. The present
survey by the new company tends to
confirm the report that it has pur-
chased or arranged for the use of the
Winner road. 1t is stated that If such
an arrangement has been made, the
Winner bridge at Kansas City may not
be used, but the Milwaukee bridge at
Randolph. Only about mile of track
would have to be built from the Win
ner road to the Milwaukee bridge. A
large tract Of land has been purchased
by the Kansas City & Northern for a
TOWNSHIP nine miles north Of Platts-
burg.

mer, an employee Of the Central Steam
Laundry Co., was covered with revolv-
ers by two men while in the elevator
between the first and second floors OF
the building at No. 1O5 South jefferson
street last evening and forced to give
up valise containing S512. One Of
the men then knocked Spanheimer
down, ordered the elevator boy to pull
to the first floor, and both darted out
of the building, making a quick escape
through an alley. Hundreds of men
are employed in the building, but so
cautiously was the work done that no
one knew of the robbery until the
thugs were out of reach. The money
was to have been used to pay laundry
employees.

The ADVOCATE takes pleasure in calling
the attention of its readers to the Perine
Subsoil Plows. That subsoiling Is no
longer an experiment has been satisfac.
torily proven and demonstrated. Mr.. A.
B. Perine, Of this city, Is the inventor,
manufacturer and patentee of the original
Perine Subsoil Plow. No higher compli-
ment could be attributed to the popularity
Of this plOw than the fact that other
plow companies are trying to profit from It's
success by attempting to initiate Mr.. Pc
rine's invention. During the months Of
February, March and April, 1895, Mr.. Pc
rine was not near able to supply the de-
mand for his plows, and present indications
are that he will experience another rush
this season. He has enlarged his plant
and secured additional machinery. But as
a special inducement for early orders he
will include years subscription to either
the ADVOCATE or Kansas Farmer to those
who will purchase plow before February
Is, 1896.
The prices Of the genuine Perine Subsoil
Plows are as follows: No 1, for four
horses, S12 (extra points, s2.25); No. 2,
three horses, S11 (extrs points, S9). Ad-

Mr.. DOCkery Causes . Sensation.

During the proceedings in the House
on December 26, when Republicans
were rushing their emergency revenue
bill'' through that body under the gag
rule by mere force of numbers, and re-
fusing to listen to any proposal of
amendment, Mr.. Dockery, Of Missouri,
obtained recognition for q few mo-
ments and caused something of SEN
sation in the national bear pit,
Mr.. Dockery declared that the ad-
verse business conditions that obtained
under the Mckinley law in 1892 had
caused the overthrow of the Republi-
can party in the fall of that year.
These adverse conditions, he as
serted, compelled the Secretary Of the
Treasury, Mr.. Foster, to use $54, ,0OO,.
600 of trust funds. Even with the use
of that money he insisted that the
treasury was on the threshold Of
bond issue when Mr.. Cleveland was
insugurated. He produced something
of sensation by holding up and read
ing Sc retary Foste 8 original order to
the Chief of the Bureau Il Engraving
and Printing to "prepare with all pos
sible haste" the plates for bond issue.
1t has long been known that the en-
craving Of such plates was ordered by
Mr.. Foster, but this is the first time
the original order has been placed on
exhibition. The truth Is that the same
conditions would have existed had
Harrison been reelected that have
prevailed under the Cleveland admin
istrstion, and precisely the same policy
would have been pursued in dealing
with those conditions. Wall street
makes the conditions and determines
the policy of the government, and, no
matter which party is In power, treas
ury officials are merely the agencies
through which the Wall street policy
is carried into execution. If people
would divest themselves of their parti-
san prejudices and examine facts of
public nature with the same csndor
with which they examine ordinary bust
ness matters they would soon be salts
fed that the above statement Is true.

stands here. But to make the Monroe
doctrine q football for the gold corner
"a mere dodge to aid thieves and rob-
blng and psuperizlng the people Ofthls
republiC-is the foulest crime that the
head of any nation has committed
since Nero lighted Christians for
torches and burned Rome.
The deIuded and betrayed people of
this country have no conception Of the
age in which they live. Their property
Is shriveling In their hands and turning
into ashes. Their children are threat.
ened with beggsry. Yet they have no
eyes to see why. The poor souls think
the days of bandits and pirates have
passed away. 1t is nonsense. The old
form of brlgsndage and buCCsneering
has merely been superseded by bank
ing on q gold basis. The demonetizs.
tion of silver, with inhationR and
contractiOns Of bank notes and dis.
counts, has stolen $4,000, 900, 600
forty biZlionS-from toilers and pro
ducsrs In Europe and the United States,
and turned 1t over to bank thugs and
bullion conspirstors, during the last
twenty years. So says the conserve.
tive English authority, j. Barr Rob.
ertson, In his paper read before the
Soriety of Arts.
That Grover Cleveland is a mere
6gurehead, trumpet and dagger for
this system of universal robbery and
murder of the masses of mankind, l,
for one, have had no doubt since 1886,
when Manton Marble wrote, for Wall
street, Clevelsnd's first nominal utter
snce on the money question. IbelieVe
and think 1t has been amply proved
that this trsitorous President, In
conjunction with alien enemies
and certain leading New York
bankers, deliberately arranged and pre-.
cipitsted the deadly panic Of 1893,
which produced 1900 business fail
ures, turned 100000 of people out Of
work, and broke or crippled 600 banks
themselves, mostly small ones 10 the
South and West. According to the
RVowals Of the Cleveland and Sherman
newspapers, that panic was an "object
lesson" to force Congress, against its
1CiU and judgment, into striking down
silver dollars, which were at that very
time above par In gold In New York
city.
1t Is now evident that Grover Cleve-
land, as the vllest conspirator ever
known to the western continent, has
used the Monroe doctrine az a foot
pads bludgeon, to strike his country
with another panic. This time the
purpose of the "object lesson" is to
force the retirement Of the "green.
backs" and to deprive the people Of
every dollar Of money on which the
vampire banksrchy cannot draw inter.
est, and the value of which they can.
not absolutely control by manipulating |
the volume.
