it is stated that lin order to push the

READER, you have an object lesson
before you every day of your life to
teach you that the people made no
mistake four years ago when they
placed in power the party which
knocked out the infamous Mckinley
tariff and made it possible for you to
buy almost anything you wear at
nearly one third less than you bought
it under a high tariff. When the
same people this year support the
same party with pledge and cam
didate for the free coinage of silver
another object lesson of as sweeping
benefit to the producer will be taught
when the increased amount of circu'
lating medium that will follow the
inevitable free coinage of silver will
bring up the price of all agricultural
products. No mistake was made
by the masses then, and no mistake
will be made now, the utterances of
all the gold standard benefciaries to
the contrary notwithstanding.

SOME populist papers are "dead
against" a combination of all free sill,
yer elements, at the st. Louis con-
vention, unless the business is done
under the name of populism. They
are the "rule or ruin" element of the
party, and they are bound to have a
ticket in the field no matter what the
odds. There are other populist pa
pers, however, which are advocating
a meeting of men of other parties half
way. We believe that the latter ele-
ment predominates, and that the good
judgment of the most of the populists,
in Kansas at least, will cause them to
support the PRINCIPLES they advocate,
rather than the mere party name. In
this event, if the democrats of the
west and south CONTROL the Chicago
convention and nominate such a man
for president as Bland, or Boise, OF
some other we'll known friend of sill
yer, the great majority of the third
party men will see the good policy
the logical need, of supporting such g
man instead of tieing to some Other
man for mere party's sake.

The trouble with prohibition is that
it is advocated by too many men who
drink whisky-not out of their own
jug at home, either.-Hoisington Dis
patch.
READERS of the DEMOCRAT will re-
member that this paper has told them
for the last ten years the above undis-
puted fact. The republican party has
forced prohibition upon Kansas and
refused time and time again to give
the people chance to say by their
votes whether or not they want to
continue the farce. Just such men
as the Dispatch has referred to, the
politicians generally of the republican
party, have insisted upon retaining
the law and refusing to let the people
vote upon 1t again. The utterances
of the Dispatch would indicate that
at least some of the republicans have
at last come to their senses.

AQUERY.

IF the government should coin
SOC, 600, 900 month in legal tender
silver dollars, how would the farmers
of this section get any of it? VIII
some free silver advocate please an
swer ?-Great Bend Register.
Editor DEMOCRAT
If you will kindly allow me space I
will attempt to answer this great
"query,' though the query itself dis
plays the hypocrisy of its author.
In the first place, it will be well to
state that if the minis of this country
were taxed to Their utmost capacity
they could not coin at present to ex-
coed SO cents per capita annually.
Now, az to how the farmer would
get any of the silver if the govern
ment would restore free coinage, it
might be said that it would be only
by having something to exchange for
it. Presuming that he had wheat,
for instance, to exchange, instead of
having to give two bushels for dol
lar as he is now doing, under free
coinage he would only have to give
one, and will any man deny that that
would be benefit to the farmer and
producer the country over? The
Register might have asked how any
man who did not have silver bullion
would get dollar if he had nothing
to trade for it. Knight, with equal
propriety, and certainly a great deal
more force, ask how a man who is not
a producer of wheat, corn, oats or
any other farm product, or anything
else, for that matter, is going to get
hold of any of these commodities un-
less he has something to exchange for
them?
The only person 1 know OF who ex.
poets to get something for as near
nothing as possible is the man who is
in favor of the gold standard, for
while that policy has depressed prices
of all commodities fully fifty per cent.
the anti-free silver advocate wants
another adjustment on a still lower
basis CT values.
In fact the gold standard man, and
it may be truthfully stated that all
who are against free coinage of silver
are for the gold standard, is the great
est fatist IN the country today, for,
with a gold reserve of less than s127,
100000, he would redeem over 5000.
100000 obligations. and with him the
silver coin called dollar Is not such,
but only promise to, pay dollar,
being interchangeable and redeemable
in gold. Now. come May be inclined
to doubt this statement, but I believe
John Sherman may be said to be
republican authority on this question,
and he says he wants, and that we
now have, no dollar that is not inter-
changeable and exchangeable for gold.
Talking about gold, it might be in
order to PROFOUND a query to the
astute Register man and ask eff the
government should coin $4,000, 900
annually in legal-tender gold dollars,
how would the farmers of this section
get any of it? Will some gold stand
ard advocate please answer ?"
