Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1897-08-25

SUPPOSE that we should concede that
times are trifle better this year than
last, which we do not, what does it
prove? Certainly nothing in favor of
the republican party. Republican pol
icies have been in force ever since the
war and that party IS responsible for
all the material legislation enacted
since that time. Much talk is made
about the Cleveland administration
yet no one can show wherein it differed
from the present Mckinley admiDlstra-
ton. Mark Hanna and Bill Mckinley
never had closer friend than Grover
Cleveland. The latter gentleman is
now doing all he can for the republican
ticket in Ohio. Cleveland endorses the
policy being pursued by the Mckinley
administration and says 1t IS only a
continuation of his own policy. What,
then. have the republicans gained by
claiming that times are better.

Some time ago the Medicine Lodge
Cresset, weakly" paper published in
said city, county of Barber, state of
Kansas. asserted that the recent strike
among coal miners was not caused BY
any reduction in wages, and it gives us
pleasure to introduce statement from
Ex-Chief Justice David Martin, to
show that the Cresset, as usual, is bad
ly off. Referring to the strike Judge
Martin says:
1.-The coal miners of the east are out
on strike today because they have
been subjected to heavy reduction III
wages. In 1893 they received from 63
to Is cents ton for mining coal, the
price paid being regulated or determ in
ed by the thickness Of the vein in which
they were operating. Before the strike,
the wages were reduced TO 81 or So cents
or Whereabouts. This is a very great
reduction. Who gets the benefit of it?
Not the consumer, assuredIy. Our coal
is no cheaper. Yet, venture the as
sertion that not single man in this
country would object TO paying 10 cents
more per ton for coal which he uses,
were he convinced that the extra mon
ey went into the pockets of the miners.
1t does not follow any such course.
This money goes the operators and the
transportation companies. Yet, the
operators complain and Will suffer no
increase in wages, Notwithstanding the
fact that their pl offs are greater than
they were four years ago. OF course,
they are in pool and one man cannot
act unless all consent to do so. The
miner also finds himself In similar
position. He belongs to an Organiza-
ton and its head officers order him to
strike. He Is compelled to do 50, and
must obey their order regardless of
his opinion. The operators are practl-
cally In the same position. No differ
ence what may be the opinion of some
that the miners are not being paid
enough for the work which they are do
ing, they cannot make any concessions
until all their associates consent to do
so. The change of the screens in use
by the mine operators so as to take for
themselves more and more out of the
mine run and the extortion of the truck
stores are abuses that also need correc-
ton"

THE OHIO popuL1srs.

The Populists OF Ohio, in refusing to
endorse the democratic ticket of that
state. have made themselves a target
plate for democratic papers and politi-
clans and, we regret to say, for some
POpulist officeholders and papers as
we'll. Assuming that every American
citizen has right to do his own think
ing and that the expression of an opin-
ION is no crime, the INDEX ventures a
few remarks on this subject. In this
Ohio matter we have observed several
things which was not to our liking but
under the circumstances no remedy was
visible. The action of the democrats
of Ohio precluded the possibility of a
union between the POpulists and dem
ocrats and there was no consistent
course left to the Popullst convention
but Independent action. Here in Kan
sas where it is argued that the demo-
Gratis have the balance of power, the
fusionists contend that the democrats
are entitled to part of the offices. In
Ohio the POpulists occupy at least as
an important position on the politi-
cal checker board but it did not enter
into the minds OF the democrats that
they were entitled to recognition at all.
Indeed some of the nominees of the
democratic convention are questionable
silverites and are not as safe on that
issue as most western democrats would
desire. On the other hand the Popu-
lists, in our opinion, could have found
better material than Coxy. If our
memory Is not defective he once disa-
vowed allegiance to the Peoples party
and that declaration should have been
respected. But this is only an opinion,
we may be wrong.
There is, however, one charge going
up from democratic headquarters, ap-
parently without any proof, which we
denOunce. 1t is their incessant howl that
the Populists were bought by Mark
Hanna. That convention was COM
posed of 705 delegates, and of these on
ly 40 favored the nomination of the
democratic ticket. We have too much
faith in our Ohio brethren to believe
that such majority could be corrupt
ed by their most designing and danger
Gus enemy. Let us he fair with each
other. Men differ on these questions
and and it cannot be charged that they
do so dishonesty. Our best men have
been known to make the most fatal
mistakes but they were of the head and
not of the heart. Time may yet prove
that theOhlo boys have done nothing Sc
riously wrong. They certainly have
preserved the party's integrity in that
state and bright future may be in
store for them.

The situation In the nineteenth Judi.
cial district composed of Sumner and
Cowley counties, is somewhat compli-
Gated. w. Il. Mcbride, democrat, was
nominated hut the Populist and demo-
Gratis are not united in his support. 1t
1t stated that another Populist paper
will be started at Wellington, opposed
to fusion, and altogether things look
dark. There are entirely too many
political tricks in some of our conven-
lions and the voice of the people too Of
ten does not rule. The Populist party
must unite to gain victory. We can
not afford to divide forces.

ANOTHER CONVERT.

Another gold bug has seen the error
of his ways and, like the prodigal son
of old, has returned to the bosom of his
true American parent. The person re-
ferred to is Ex-Governor Crittenden of
| Missouri. He was converted in Next
co. Every gold standard man ought to
go to that country where he can learn
by observation. We need more practi-
cabillty in modern politics. TheOreti-
cal induction is too often false teach
Ell.
The following dispatch explains how
Governor Crittenden was brought to
his senses:
KANSAS CITY, Aug. 10.-Ex Coy. Il.
L. Crittenden, who for four years has
represented the United States govern
ment at the City of Mexico as consul
general, and who was recently succeed
ed by Mr.. Barlow of ST. Louis has
reached bis home, accompanied by Mrs.
Crittenden and is registered at theMid-
land.
Gov. Crlttenden returns to Missouri
looking younger than when he left; he
also returns a thorough free silver man.
''Silver is great success in Mexico"
said he, land despite the low price of
silver at the present time, Mexico is
very prosperous. Down there they sell
everything out of the country at gold
prices and raise everything with silver
as the money.
"Ypu never see gold in circulation
there, and yet the country is prosper
ing. believe in silver as money met
al. Free silver in this country would
make the United States much more
prosperous than it is now. This coun-
try will never prosper as it should until
silver is restored to its old position just
where it was before there was ever a
law passed against it.
LAS for the new tariff BILL" he con-
tinued, lit is an outrage against the
people. 1t Will almost entirely shut off
commerce between this country and
Mexico. Everything that Mexico sends
to the United States is taxed to death.
The people of Mexico look upon the
bill with the greatest suspicion; many
of them regard it as directly aimed at
MEXICO, and it will drive almost all OF
their trade TO Europe. The Mexicans
believe in trading with people who do
not discriminate against them. They
prefer to trade with England, France and
neutrality-suspicious. England-rath-
er than the United States. If, howey-
er, the laws were favorable. we would
get almost the entire trade of Mexico
at least 80 per cent of 1t.
I, IF l had my way there would not be
custom house on the RioGraDde. The
best thing that this country could do
would be TO admit absolutely free of
duty all that Mexico has to send us; or
If not this, to at least establish recipro-
cal relations and admit free what Mex
leo has TO send US Ga condition that
that country would admit free what we
have to send it. y

SAYS the Cresset: "A silver DOLE
is worth 100 cents because Mckinley
was elected. Had Bryan been elected
it would have been worth only AZ
cents" Well, if that be true our finan-
cIal system needs revising sure enough.
Ii the stability of the dollar depends on
the triumph of a single man, ws are
getting into desperate straits. McKin-
ley must be very big man to make AZ
cents equal to 100 cents. Such rot is
disgusting. The silver dollar, like any
other dollar, is worth 100 cents because
the law makes it so. Congress has "the
power to coin money and regulate the
value thereof"

Gov. PINGREE, of Michigan, says of
the new tariff:
regard the duty on lumber, hides
and sugar as un-republican, unpatri-
otto and unfair The lumber now used
goes largely into small homes and farm
houses and to a class largely, greatly
overtaxed. The laborer wears twice as
many shoes as the millionaire and must
contribute twice as much for the tax on
hides. He must use as much sugar
and pay as much toward the duty on
sugar. 1t is greatly unfair to make the
poor pay as much per capita as the rich
toward the support of the government
Property and not human stomachs
should be reached. Property is protect.
ed by our laws and should pay for its
protection.
PiDgree, though republican, is right.

The advance of the price of wheat is
great relief for the 6. o. p. curbstone
politicians. The shortage of wheat all
over the world this year has. we admit,
made an increase in the price, but it is
foolish to say that the Mckinley ad-
ministration had anything to do with
1t. The farmers who have wheat to sell
ara in luck but those who haven't are
in bad shape. Most of the farmers of

haven't" OF what benefit is a high
price if you have nothing to sell?
