THEN AND NOW.

The charge that the republican party
has been on all sides of the financial
question, and in the West, especially,
has been free silver's champion in days
gone by is denied by most of the repub-
licans of to-day. Hence little history
touching upon this subject will be re-
freshing. 1t is not necessary that we
go back very far to show that the re-
publicans of Kansas, as well as the
leading republicans of the United
States were opposed to the gold stand
ard. Their platforms and legislatures
were regular in resolving in favor of
free silver and the papers that are now
loudest in decrying free silver men as
repudiationist were then just as radi-
cal as any free silver man is to-day.
Here are a few examples of republican
demands of 1890 and 1891. How can
these extracts be reconciled with the
republican demands of 1896:
''The practical operation of the silver
act now in force, recently passed by a
republican majority in both houses of
congress, is rapidly increasing the value
of silver, is good step in the right di-
rection, but we, the republicans of
Kansas, demand the free coinage OF
silver. kansas Republican State plat

Whereas, The recent action of the
Senate of the United States in prompt
ly passing the free coinage of silver
bill is move in the direction of the
restoration of prices and property to
the agricultural industry, therefore be
it
Resolved. That the senate of the
state of Kansas urge upon the Nation
al House of Representatives the prompt
concurrence in the passage of the sem
ate silver bill: that this body, repre-
senting the republicans of Kansas, re-
spectfully but earnestly request our
delegation in Congress to insist, in the
interest of the country and the welfare
of the republican party in the West,
proval by the republican executive as
being in line with republican pledges. =
Adopted by Republican State Senate
January 2s, 1891, by vote of 81 to
8.
"The Capital wishes to send short
message to Congress. 1t Will be brief,
but important to the West. 1t is this:

election bills; pass the Plumb measure

the country one or two hundred mil
lions more OF paper currency.

message, but it will do the country and
the republican party more good, if it is
acted upon, than dozen messages like

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 90 "A ter
rible tragedy was discovered yesterday
morning at the home of Charles w.

ping the charge of Anarchism and TAX
ing up that of Sectionalism against the
friends of silver. 1t is the case of the
pot ascribing blackness to the kettle,
to say the least. At this very moment
these same newspapers are seeking to
stir up the bitterest prejudice against
the silver producing sections of the
country. The miner of silver is to be
outlawed, and worse. He is to have
no right of complaint or protest against
laws which pull down the price of his
product for the benefit of the holders
of gold, foreigners chiefly. He is to
be denounced if detected in spending a
dollar IN putting his own case before
the voters of the country, and in show
ing that if he suffers they must suffer
also, and equally. He is charged with
the most selfish and unmitigated greed
when he votes and argues for the
maintenance of the historic relations
| of gold and silver in the currency of
the world. Benevolence is the monop-
oily of the owners of gold, who have
secured legislation which enables them
to exact a profit beyond the original
terms of their bond on every loan they
have made, and to secure the products
of every species of industry on terms
ruinous to the producers. And yet
