should not sngender q spirit Of vindic-
tiveness, but it relieves the situation Of
some embarrassment If Governor
Leedy and Attorney General Boyle
shall rescue the prohlbitory law from
the condition of dead letter, into which
it has b cen allowed to wellnlgh sink,
and shall see that it is impartially and
vigorously enforced, as il can be in every
city and town in Kansas, and shall other
wise give the State q firm and fair ad
ministration, they may expect for their
party two years heuce such an endorse
ment as Judge John Martin had in
Shawnee county several years ago, when,
though adverse to the principle Of the
prohibitory law, he observed his oath Of
Office to the extent Of showing the
judiciary Of the State how to enforce it.
Nobody loves q coward. Everybody
loves the official who can be- depended
upon to execute fully the trust imposed
upon him.
Governor Leedy is reported to have
the elements Of firmness and conscien-
tiousness which will cause to disappear
before him such difficulties as would
sppall a weaker man. The people Of
Kansas will appreciate the exhibition
Of these qualities in the executive
Office. .-KGnSGS Farmer.

Call for silver Convention.

To the Free Silver Clubs of Kansas:
The leader Of the gold standard forces
has modsstly admitted that he won the
National contest "with one hand on God
and the other on Mckinley" and has
served notice upon the friends Of silver
that they must expect war Of extermi-
nation. We must accept the challenge,
and, in accepting, remember that we are
invlncible in this State when united, and
that our people represent too high an
order Of intelligence to merely vote their
likes or dislikes Of Arkansas or Iowa.
/ desire to call your attention TO the
fact that the silver sentiment proved
strongest on November 3 in the West
and South, where the money question
had been most thoroughly discussed in
recent years. An equally thorough dis
cussion in all States west of the Alleghe-
nies ought to bring to US that whole
region.
For the purpose Of assisting in uniting
the friends Of silver and In extending this
discussion, the Free Silver Clubs Of
Kansas are invited to send delegates to
meet at Topeka at 10 a. M, January y,
1897, in Hamilton hall, to form a perma-
nent State organization Of silver clubs.
It is recommended that each Free Silver
Club send one delegate and one addi-
tlonsl delegate for each 100 members or
major fraction thereof.
Free silver papers throughout the
State are requested to copy this call.

AN effort is being made, with apparently
good prospects Of success, to consolidate
the Central American republics Of Guata-
mala, Costa Rica, Honduras, Salvador and
Nicaragua into one under the name Of the
Greater Republic Of Central America.
These republics became independent in
1891, were included in Mexico until 1923,
when they formed a federation Of indepen-
dent states. This was dissolved.in 1889 by

A NEW DEAL IN KANSAS.
A NOn-PartISan View Of the Kansas Sltua.
tiOn.

A NOn-Partlsan View Of the Kansas Sltua
tiOn.
For the first time since Kansas be.
came a State, the control of her public
affairs is soon to pass entirely from the
Republican party. There will, indeed
be left one Associate Justice Of the
Supreme court, a minority in the
Legislature, and few hold.oVers in
some other positions. But the RESPONSE
bility has been assumed by the Peoples
party by the election Of the complete
State ticket and including Chief Justice
of the Supreme court, leaving only one
Republican on that bench; five Of the
six Judges Of the Court Of Appeals; a
strong majority in each house Of the
Legislature and a large share of the
county officers in the State.
1t is not possible to have repetition
Of the perilously exciting times Of 1893
when the Legislative war" was on, and
the many complications which grew
out Of that conflict are happily avoided
Governor Leedy has, however, heavy
PfeBponsiblIAty thrust upon him. There
are q great many Offices to be filed by
executive appointment, and there will
doubtless, be many aSpirants for every
one of them. If the Governor shall rise
to the height of patriotism which makes
fitness for the position the primary
qualification, and essential, he will
siren gthen his party with the great
body of the people of Kansas. 1t will
not be expected that he will nor thought
that he ought to disregard the claims Of
members Of his own party, or that he
will fail to "stand by his friends" in
every way consistent with the interests
Of the whole people. But if partisan
service and partisan zeal shall be made
the paramount test for position, it must
be expected that the people-whose
interest is for good, clean administration
rather than for the promotion Of any
psrty's shouters-the PLAIN people, who
hold that public Office 10 public SER
vice rather than a private snap, will
probably administer rebuke two years
hence by retiring the party they have
Just placed in power.
On the other hand, it is possible for
the newly-elected administration to 80
man the official positions Of the State
from its own party and party allies, that
the patriotic rank and file Of Kansas
people shall recognize the wisdom Of the
selections and that the public service
shall be SO administered as strengthens
the successful party for the next contest.
On another question there is good
deal Of sensitiveness. Nobody admires
the coward who swears he will do a
thing and then gives it up without an
honest, manly, determined effort. There
is organized opposition to the enforce
ment Of but one law in Kansas. II ante
election reports be true, the incoming
administration is under no obligations to
this organized opposition for its election.
Those who oppose the enforcement Of
the prohibitory law are reported to have

INTERNATIONAL COINAGE.
Plan for International Currency Instead
International Bimetalllsm.

International Btmetalllsm.
At the Farmers National Congress,
Gen. Ray Stone of the Department Of
Agriculture read paper entitled "The
Battle is Over; Shall the War Go OnP"
in which he said, in part:
"Though the Presidential election Of
1896 turned almost wholly upon silver,
it touched only side issue Of the great
silver question: it dealt only with the
merits and the perils Of American free
coinage. Even upon that side issue,
this election, of itself, may settle moth.
ing. It is not in human nature that q
party which has made such heRdWRy in
it's first fight should be willing to accept
one defeat as final. Unless, therefore,
the situation is wholly changed by some
wise action of the viotors, this campaign
may only serve to line up the opposing
forces and embitter the existing antag-
onisms for a hotter conflict in the
future, and one in which this minor
detail will still continue to obscure and
displace the main question in this case
the question that will have to be met
and met with deliberation when the
strife has ended in ruin or exhaustion"
Various plans for currency reform,
General Stone said, had met with more
or less favor, but none had commanded
any general assent. The essentials Of a
plan were;
l. 1t should provide a new, natural
and growing use for silver.
2. 1t should be capable of being able
to put in operation gradually, tentatively
and without shock.
3. It should be terminable at any
tim without serious loss and without
danger to the present system.
4. 1t should not be liable to defeat
itself in practice by stimulating the pro-
duction Of silver, and, therefore, it must
not assure any definite increase in de-
mand or price to cause rush of capital
and labor into silver mining.
"It is not likely that such additional
use can be found in the local currency in
any country, for, with the temptation of
100 per cent. profit in coinage, probably
the governments are already coinage
silver very near the limit of safety"
General Stone submitted the following
project for international silver money:
First-An international mint be
opened under the auspices and manage
ment of the governments of the chief
commercial countries of the world.
Second-Silver international coins,
which may be known as 'globe dollars"
and fractions thereof, bearing their
denominations in shillings, francs, ETC.,
on the one side and an international
symbol with the names Of the union
States on the other, to be coined and
freely issued in exchange for gold coin
or its equivalent, or for silver bullion
at the market price.
Third-Heavy bars or blocks Of silver,
to be numbered and stamped with their
full international coinage value for use

The Democrat organization very properly
refuses to permit the return Of the gold
boilers to the party fold unless they re-

he was talking about, said, in an inter
view, that the Mexican people eat corn,
and what was worse, good deal Of the
corn they eat came from the United
States-a gold standard country.
The ADVOCATE comedies at once and
freely all that is claimed for the corn
eating argument; but what troubles US,
is the fact that a great many of our own
people have been long addicted to the
habit of eating corn, and they have thus
far successfully escaped all other evils
which usually accompany the corn-eat-
ing habit. To eat corn bread at once
suggests low plane Of Civilization--fOr
that custom prevails in all silver stand

Thousands of men worked for their
board alone during the winter months.
1t was common thing for boys, 10 to 20
years of age, to "do chores" and go to
school in winter at a farmers house. So
that, after all, it is not without prece-

RKINLEY TARIFF AND THE PRESENT
LAW.

A good deal of time is uselessly
spent in efforts to show that If the
Mckinley tariff schedules had been
allowed to remain In force, all our
present ills would have been avoided.
Has it been forgotten that as early
as July IA, 1892, Senator Sherman in
troduced Senate bill No. 1923, for the
repeal of the purchasing clause of the
law which bears his nsme-the silver
purchasing law Of July IA, 1890? Has it
been forgotten that.the same Mr.. Sher,
man, February II, 1893, proposed an
amendment to an appropriation bill
to authorize the Secretary of the Treas
ury to sell bonds for coin to redeem
greenbscks wlthP
If everything had been going salts
factorily to the gold standard people,
Mr.. Sherman would hardly have been
at so much trouble to get things
changed.
And as to revenue, the Mckinley
law was passed In order to reduce rev.
enue. Its title 80 declares, and the
customs receipts from year to year
during its operation shows that such
was its effect. Here is a statement
showing the amount of receipts from
duties on imports (customs) during

fact that that country is now rapidly i'm
proving? Let Major Gum himself tell.
"What evidences Of prosperity did you see?"
"Some 1000 miles Of railroad have been built
during the last twenty-five years. These have
brought prosperity to mine.oWners, by bring
ing them cheap transportation to smelters,
which have been built in consequence OF rail-
road construction. Numerous small factories
have also followed railroad construction, and
all these, from cheap labor, are prosperous, but
their prosperity does not affect their work
men, except in so far as they furnish greater
variety Of labor, and more Of 1t. understand
that the railroad trsckmen get 50 cents day.
The miners where visited received so cents a
day and the laborers 80 cents"
Wonder how old the Major is. Does
he remember when farm hands in the
United States worked for Sc month, or
35 to 40 cents a day? Can he remember
when we had no railroads? But, Major
Gum says:
"All Of the railroads, factories and smelters,
which, in the aggregate, employed several
thousand men, have been built with foreign
capital from gold standard countries, and are
owned, managed and controlled by foreign
ers"
Was it not foreign capital that built
the railroads in the United States? And
are not most of our roads now owned and
controlled by foreigners. Is it not true
that most Of our factories are in debt,
and that many OF them are owned, in
part at least, by aliens? And aren't we

WAGES IN MEXICO.

In an interview recently published, a
citizen of the United States, who had
gone to Mexico to "look at some mining
property" says laborers there get 13
cents day, measured by the gold stand,
ard, and that miners get 26 cents. This
statement is made to influence voters in
the United States. The intention is to
suggest to our working people that free
coinage of silver in the United States
would Mexicanize our people and their
institutions and reduce our wage scale
to that Of Mexico.
Letpeople but think moment over our
own history. There are q million voters
now in this country who can remember
when a days work was worth % cents to
3lA cents, and monthly wages was s. to
