Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1896-09-17
A Lesson to the Veterans.

The annual encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic, at St. Paul, makes
it apparent that the roll is rapidly thin
ming, and that before long this grand
organization will live only in memory.
The roster showed a decrease Of II, 900
in membership during the year. Of
these 1898 answered the last summons
end while those mustered in numbered
but ID, 467, the suspensions, possibly due
to hard times, numbered 2S,O33.
These tables furnish an interesting
study to the veterans, and those who
cherish the G. a. r. When men find it
difficult to support themselves and fam
lilies, the dues of the society or the G. a
r. become a severe tax.
By no other circumstance can so long
a suspension list in the Grand Army of
the Republic be accounted fer, and it
demonstrates the necessity for more
money, and a policy which will mean
prosperity to America.-Philadel
Item.
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1896-09-17

Mr.. Mckinley must agree that if
the antitrust law is not to be enforced
it ought to be repealed. Which alterna-
tive does he favor?-N. Y. World.
Now that Gen. Grants son Jesse
has abandoned the republican party, we
shall wait impatiently for Mark Hanna
to brand him as an Observation-Disclosures
City Times.
The Vermont democratic plat
form being in all respects opposed to
the national democratic platform, it is
not surprising that disguised demo-
Gratis staid at home Or voted the repub.
iican ticket.-Atlanta Constitution.
Have you noticed how all the "dis-
tinguished'' men of England are flock
ing to this country? Their purpose is
to aid in the election of Mckinley. so
that England shall continue to rule us
with the gold standard.-Philadelph
Item.
Equal opportunity to all and spe-
cial aid to none-that sums up the DEM
ocratic faith, as Mr.. Lehman said in
his speech at Indianapolis. Does any
one expect that doctrine to be put in
force if Mckinley be elected ST. Louis
Republic.
-Bryan's popularity with the farm.
ers must make Boss Hanna and his as
sociates tremble for the result in No
vember. The agricultural population
has always been the mainstay of the
republican party in this country, in
spite of the fact that the policy of pro-
lection was always more beneficial tic
the manufacturing interests than the
farmers. If the farmers abandon Nc.
Kinley, his cause is hopeless indeed
and all the indications show that they
are focking by tens and hundreds OF
thousands to Bryan at the present time

PUZZLED OVER KANSAS.

Chairman Butler Worried About the Up
rising of Middle-of-the-Road Popullsts.
WASHINGTON, Sept Ex-senator But
Ter, chairman of the populist national
committee, has been giving his atten-
ton, since his return from North Caro-
lima, to the situation in Kansas, from
which state there IS much complaint
as to the decision of the populists to
accept the democratic electoral ticket
entire. The senator late yesterday
said that he had not arrived at salts
factory solution of the problem, but
he hoped it would be possible to put
the matter in more desirable shape
soon. He was convinced, however,
that it would be unwise to call an
other state populist convention as has
been suggested

must employ more help, can afford to
pay higher wages. Even the banks can
earn greater dividends, because of the
increase of general trade. Thus luxu-
ries can be bought, and the trade de-
pendent upon luxuries be stimulated
All this and much more in the same
direction is the result of an increase OF
the volume of money now circulating
in the channels OF trade. Also, in pre-
venting a. good many corners in the
money market such as the present.

Free silver means protection to Ameri.
can industry. Mr.. Mckinley and the
Public Ledger in opposing it. oppose
the republican principle of protection;
thus they stultify themselves by pre-
tending to support the very opposite Of

but it would falsify to seemingly make
out a stronger case for itself than it
has.
The Ledger then says that neither
Mr.. Bryan nor his supporters have pro-
duced a title OF evidence to prove the
truth of the quoted position, that free
silver will help the American work
man. That is false. But without go
ing into history, the Item will again
explain fraction of the facts show
ing Mr.. Bryan to be perfectly correct.
