THE HIRED MAN RACKET.

The most noticeable feature Of the
present campaign is the sudden and
vehement interest evinced by the rep
reSentatiyes of Incorporated capital in
the welfare of the wage-earner. A
national convention of Democrats is
cause they say that the humiliation of
labor involves the honor Of tae coun-
try. Next TO the interest Of the labor
ing man, in their estimation. comes
the honor of the country. This solici-
tude will no doubt be not only appre-
ciated but hailed with delight 10y every
hired man and laborer of the country,
including corporation employees, farm
ers. miners, and mechanics. As Bryan
says he will be but hired man himself
he may also be included This unex-
ampled woe is 10 come through depre-
ctated currency, so these National
Democratic bOlters tell us. However
intense their interest, they do not
promise that in the event Of such a
squeeze that they will tide the laboring
man over by a loan or the like. On
the contrary they tell US that the banks
are going to close up tighter than
clam Nobody is to be trusted or loan
ed single penny however sound his
security. If the banks do ali that is
threatened they will simply quit doing
anything and close up.
The truth is the "self- respecting"
Democrats are in the political soup
particularly deep, and they don't know
what to do or say. Their convention
at indianapolis in favor of the gold
standard may hurt the Popocrat aggre-
CATION some little but not much. The
states in which this second Democratic
ticket will get any votes are states that
would not go for Bryan's double-tailed
ticket in any event These sOlicitous
descendants of Jackson had better vote
for Mckinley and Hobart on 4 plat
form which pledges that every dollar,
whether of paper, silver or gold, shall
be as good as any dollar. A sound
dollar with the good times that protect
ed labor, and protected products will
bring is all that's expected or desired.

1T WILL HELP MORRILL,

The Populist and DemO-Fusionists
of Kansas may Indignantly protest as
vehemently and angrily as they like,
the fact is patent enough that 4 large
number of the recognized Democrats
of standing and prominence in the
state are not going to vote for Leedy
or support Frank DoSter. These men
say that there is no reason why they
should sacrifice lifelong principles, TO
say nothing Of their political manhood,
by voting for the Fusion ticket. AS
these prominent Democrats go so will
many others who have no personal in
terest in political pap and are not held
by the leading strings of county-fixers
and ward-heelerS Bryan has some
claims to being Il Democrat, and he
has refused to recognize the Pop in
dorsement of the St LoliS convenitno.
But many of these Kansas Self-re-
specting Democrats viii not even vote
for Bryan, because Of the adherence
and support of prominent PopulistS,
not only but because of the un-Demo-
cratic plankS in the Chicago platform.
Day after tomorrow n Democratic
state convention will be held in Topeka
which will be made up of the kind of
Democrats to whom we allude.
Among the men who viii be present
and participate in this protesting move

L. s. district attorney for Kansas, and
Eugene Hagan. Fred Hutchings and
Sam Maher win head the delegation

WHEAT AND IT'S PRICE.

There is no question but that local
elevators and local mills are the fac
tors for maintaining the price of wheat.
The Inter Ocean well says that the
United States farmer who does not
strive 10 enlarge the home market for
wheat by doing what he can toward in
creasing the number of American mills
and factories is not wise. Specially
is he not wise at the present time.
European reports are that the British
wheat harvest will be unusually large
wheat does not ripen in England
eaflier than August. The French crop
last year was 34O,OcO,O00 bushels, and
the present crop will somewhat exceed
that The Italian harvest is above the
average. Russia will reap an average
crop. Relgium, Norway, Denmark,
Sweden and Austria Hungary have
good crops This indicates no increase.
but a probable decrease, OF European
demand.
The true policy OF the American
farmer IS plain: 1t is 10 did II the res
toration Of protective policy that will
throw thousands of wheat acres .nto
cultivation of beets for sugar; that will
increase the number of artisans, trad
ers, railway employees. and others who

ECONOMY IN CAMPAIGNS.

Those people who do not start helter-
skelter after every new issue that floats
mid-air like q rainbow in nearly every
campaign. must observe one strange
thing, with something of sorrow and
something of disgust.
Whatever our financial, tariff or rev.
enue policy, our one great question has
been q public insistance on more econ
omy on the part of our public officials.
The people strangely enough insist on
this between campaigns. When the
campaign itself comes in, this matter
of official economy is at once over
shadowed by some prodigious question
which so absorbs the people that they
forget entirely every memory of the
once pressing necessity for official
economy.
There hae been officials in the history
of the country who have entered upon
their official duties determined to re-
deem the pledge of the campaign which
promised economy. These officials
have practiced rigorous economy, to
the point of skimping themselves and
their SubordinateS, and after having
saved thousands of dollars TO the peo-
ple actually saved the taxpayers dol
lars and cents, have been panied and
abashed to find that when the time for
denomination or reelection came,
economy was not an issue, but that
h. lals II hnl
full sway and that they were unfortu-
nately ON the wrong side of it.
Economic officials by the hundreds
have had this experience. After true
and faithful service 10 the public they
have discovered that it is not appreciat-
ed: that the opposition takes keen de
light in pitching into the true and faith
ful servitor because the opposition be-
lieves he is harder man TO beat and
requires more fighting.
The people themselves are to blame.
Economy in public affairs does ire
mendous lot in keeping the circulation
per capita into circulation; keeps the
taxes down: keeps money into the
pockets of the people; and homes free
from official tax indebtedness; saves
citizens many gray hairs and discon-
tent The people, however. do not
appreciate that kind OF work. The
county official who has no vote in con-
gresS. state legislature or city council.
is not arraignsd by the public rs q
man who has been an extravagant Of
fetal but as man wing hs this or that
idea about the mintage of our national
coin.
Some day the people will winnow the
legislative politics from executive poll
tics There is one way TO solve prohi-
bition in kansas. That is 10 kill il

public is forever trying TO remedy it

A TRIO OF FLOPPERS.

The gold -bound-bug Kansas City
Star. which a few months since had
an attack Of monetary phobia at every
suggestion of silver, and which alter
nately glowed and spluttered like an
arc light whenever Grover Cleveland'S
name was mentioned, and which. still
later, on the announcement of Bryan's
nomination, took bath Of brine and
ashes and robed itself in tattered gun
ny-sacks, is now ignoring its late hu-
initiation and taking considerable heart
over the situation. In short the Star
has crawled up on to the extreme end
of the outlook and is in the act Of TAX
ing flop. With each succeeding day
its effort TO 60 clear over is more mark
ed. 1t gets now as far as the fat OF its
back. Another month will find the
summerSault complete and the esteem
ed standing on its feet, facing the other
way. declaring Bryan Democracy just
the thing. In its Fridays issue ii con-
tained an editorial pr-lising the discre-
ton of Senator Jones. as Bryan's man.
ager and as chairman of the national
Democratic committee: another edi-
torial deprecating, very earnestly. the
dangerous policy pursued by those
bankers who would have the people be-
lieye that there is only disaster and
dishonor in silver, in the same con-
nection calling attention to the fact
that many able financiers are to he
found upon the side OF silver; and still
another belittling the claim made by
the Republicans that poll is showing
many sound money Democrats who
will vote for Mckinley.
The Star is a dandy, a very political
daisy. But it has no edge on its city
contemporaries. There is, the Times,

KANSAS AND A PANIC

| No state in the Union offers the
! chances for advantageous investment
that Kansas offers, and now. All that
the state is, or has. in the way of prop
erty. is down to bedrock prices
Whatever of imitation there may have
been to her values, has been let out
| Caught between the reaction of an un-
precedented boom and the depression
of hard times. everything has been
squeezed until squeezing no longer
counts. No financial panic however
sweeping, or far-reaching, can more
than affect small minimum Of the in
terestS or holdings of her people. She
has even lost her floating population
That which is left is not only solid but
impossible of further shrinkage. Every
one recognizes that fact. Debts have
been discharged, and obligations can
celed or otherwise obliterated, and her
people for the first time in the history
Of the state selfsupporting. Outside
capital even where obtainable has not
been in demand and few new invest
ments from the outside have been
made within a half dozen years
Whatever there is of present expan-
sion, improvement or growth is wholly
within her own resources. As for the
productions Of her field and pastures,
they are now enormous. The surpluses
for the present year are almost beyond
estimate. Under former prices, her
people would be rich. After the pres
MOL has ceased, and the effects of the
policy Of the present administration
has been relegated past-recall, which in
any event is certain. with the return of
confidence which must ensue, the hun
dreds Of millions upon millions that
have gone into unremunerative hiding
will be brought out for profitable in
vCstment. No field or spot in all the
country will be offering such attractive
and sure paying chances for invest
ment as Fansa. lands and Kansas
towns and the enterprises which go
with them. The only possible panic
at present Is capitalists or rich mans
panic. a panic cannot affect corn that
is cribbed, wheat that is binned, cattle
that are fattened. or lands and farms
which are held at prices below the
actual cost of the improvements. The
eastern man who has money horded, or
has it invested in non-dividend stocks, |
or low interest bonds, in saving insti- |
tutiOns, or in what not, can invest the |
same in Kansas at the present prices |
with his eyes shut, and |
a very short time after the Inaugural |
ton of the next president, or soon |
thereafter as the present scare shall |
have subsided. Financial depressions |
cannot last forever. Responsive to the |
law of reciDrocation or of compensa-
ton, good times always follow fast
upon the heels of panicS and depreS-
sion, as certainly as that a laugh al
ways follows cry. The wave of dis
trust which ties everything up is al
ways followed by one of confidence
which turns everything loose. 1t is
not the amount of per capita circula-
ton that a country has, but the fact
that whatever the amount, that it is
in actual and in lively circulation; and
it is confidence, not enactments, that
causes money to freely circulate. That
induces universal investment That
there are lively and prosperous times
ahead for Kansas there is not the
slightest question.
