No Work, No Wages.

Street. car companies andrsilroad
corporations have rates fixed by
congress and by the legislatures
of the several states. 1t would re-
auire years of tedious Legislation to
bring about any increase in their
incomes. II their rates are not IN
creased under free silver neither
will the wages they pay be increas'
ed. The employees of such com
panies and corporations will vote
for sound money, and they cast
one.tenth the entire vote OF the ma
tion.-N. Y. Press.
If something don't increase the
income of the roads, and that soon,
the employees will have no work to
do and hence, no wages.
The Gull road here has between
80 and 40 engines tied up at the
round house. and so or so more at
Springfield, all because there is no
business for them to do. The Mis-
souri, Pacific and Katy are in the
same boat. The forces at the
shops have been cut down, hours of
work and wages Cut down. Yet
the country ip full of produce wait
ing to be hauled to market.
The trouble is there is not enough
money in the country to meet the
demands of business; the currency
of the country has been so contract
ed that business is stagnated. and
without business there is no work
for laboring men to do.
What the employees of railroads
want 10 do is to vote for an increase
in railrod business, 40 that they
NAV have employment. This can
be done by voting for an increase in
the volume OF currency, the instru-

the country has to be transacted.

towards currency expansion and an
increase of business, and with an

A letter from Joseph Bowen,

A letter from Joseph Bowen, a
former Wyandotte county boy,
who is now a resident of Colorado,
is of unusual interest. Bowen was
born and raised Republican, and
has always affiliated with the Re-
publican party, but the gold plank
in the St. Louis platform settled
him as far as tt.is years campaign
is concerned. Mr.. Bowen says ::
II enclose clipping which is
from the Salida Mail, published i'll
this county, and one of the leading
papers of this section. There are
only two or three Mckinley papers
in Colorado, and they are said to
be owned and controlled by the
English loan and mortgage com
panies. Ninety out Of every hun

for Bryan and Sewall. Respectful

This country has been without rail

very finest kind of government land
for homestead entry, and millions
more of magnificent fuit growing,

The seasons are regular, rainfall
abundant and free from hot winds,
cyclones, billiards., drouths and is

valleys, forests and streams, being
sufficiently elevated to insure pure,

the cold blasts of winter. Game is
plentiful and it is now open for the
first time to the pionecr--the home
seeker, merchant, mechanic, manu-
lacturer and investor.
The new town of MENA, $50
miles south of Kansas City, will be
the railroad division, and the com.
mercial, manufacturing and dis
tributing center for country 80 to
IS miles in either direction. The
town is charmingly located and

word received yesterday by the management
of the Omaha Musical society The reason
for this change in her plans seems to be the
inability on the part of her former manageTa

her to insure trip to the Pacific coast, and
furthermore, their inability to make suf-
ficient number of dates to properly fill the
time which intervenes before she will return

public affairs, and he is a student as well,
80 that whatever he says on the relations
OF the European powers to each other Is en-
titled to consideration. A few days ago. in
addressing a public meeting in a town in
England. he made the assertion that three
powers had recently submitted proposal
to Great Britain for the partition of China
and that Great Britain refused TO entertain
the proposal. The first thought that will
strike any thoughtful person is that such
proposal would, II known, preCiptate a gen
eral European war, some thing which 1t is be-

hesitate to bring about And yet Sir Charles
Dixie Is usually so cautious in his statements
and so dispassionate in discussing whatever
Is associated with Englands interests that
