The subsistence OF the calamity wall In
Kansas Is natural. considering that the
people OF that state who last year were
the chief popullstic walters are Just now
enjoying an era OF almost unexampled
prosperity due to the agricultural situa-
ton, Not only this. but in Kansas very
little is being said at present about
more and cheaper money"-the depre-
clated 10 to dollar. for instance. The
reason OF this may be found In a state
ment made in the semi-annual report OF
the state bank examiner, who has been
himself leading waller, and who, a
year since. was one Of the chief howlers
about there not being enough money in
the country to do business with. Here is
what he says, aud the fact that 1t comes
from Kansas makes 1t all the more signl-
ffcaut:
A most extraordinary financial condition
exists In Kansas. The surplus In the banks
OF the state Is larger than ever previously
known, and the cash circulation among the
people seems undiminlshed. The banks
cannot loan their money, and are worried
what TO do with the enormous deposits,
terest. At this time the people OF the state
are engaged in moving an enormous wheat
crop and b0,OO0,0O0 bushels of last years
corn crop and II they do not need cash
to handle such an enormous volume OF
business, the banks are anxious to know
what they will need money for later, The
grain Is rushing east rapidly, and all farm
ers are making improvements on their
lands, and actually have money TO burn.
The situation Is annoying the bankers OF
situation | attribute to the wave OF econ
omy the hard times of the past few years
developed. The farmers were forced to get
along without borrowing money, and now
they find 1t easy TO continue in that line.
The fact Is that throughout the coun-
try there Is an enormous amount of busl-
ness being done, great deal more than
during the hard times when the Popo-
Gratis we're declaring for more money and
were certain that the trouble was the
lack OF cheap dollars. The population
has also increased, and yet, with this and
all the increase In the volume Of business,
there seems no lack OF money at the COM
mand OF business and to meet all de-
mands. And we have the same cur
rency we had during the hard times.
The contention of the. sound currency
men last year was that there was no lack
Of money; that there was an ample
amount and that all that was needed
was business to bring 1t from its hiding
places, Now, from Kansas, where the
popullstlc howl was the loudest, comes
official confirmation of the sound money
contention.

FREE LAND THEORY
Advocated by Correspondent as Soln-
ton ola Problem.

Advocated by n Correspondent as n solu-
ton ola Problem.
To the Editor of the Intelllgencer.
sIR:-In Saturdays issue of the In
tellgencer noticed particularly Mr..
Campbells kick on large land holdings
in America, and his mention in the
same article of Henry Georges theory
as a possible means of reducing these
land holdings to small farms, within
purchase and retention OF all who de-
sire such.
would like to mention here that the
single tax" theory would not have the
desired effect. Land to-day is paying
the largest share of taxes and has al
ways done so.i
At the present time, and In all ages,
the masses are and have been as capa-
bic and as Intelligent as the classes, but
they have been overworked and poor,
irrespective of occupation.
Russia has no proletarlat, yet in no
other country is the peasantry In a
worse condition than the city poor, ex-
cept In Russia, all on account OF e%-
cessive tax on land.
Land, like air and water. should be
free, for these alone are the necessities
of life. We pay water tax, but 1t Is
not for wateprbut for the convenience
OF having 1t brought to our doors.
Water Is free,
Josephus tells us that traffic in land
commenced with Cain, and to this day
he is the unaclinowledged patron saint
of our land,
Man did not make lana and cannot
rlghtfully put price upon II. either for
traffic or assessment purposes. Reduc.
Ing ground to n value In dollars and
cents is lowering the works of God to
the standard of men. This law Is i'm
moral and is productive OF misery
causing the poor to be slaves OF the
rich and the rich to be the slave OF the
state and municipal governments
BY this traffic and taxation of land,
man Is reduced to n monied basis. No
where, except in vagabondage, can a
man live without money or monled
master,
All unused and unimproved ground
should be free and use and improve
ments alone should be the title to the
land, and let these be bought, sold and
assessed, for these are the works of
man, but let the works OF God be free
as He gave them without money N
price,
This will make land holdings small
and possible to all. and this alone will
solve III labor troubles; and this only
will insure the gold standard in peace
and justice to all.

In an interesting article in the cur,
rent number of the Atlantic Monthly,
Mr.. Carroll D. Wright. the commission
er of labor, makes very able argument
to prove the fallacy of the oft-repeated
statement that the rich -are growing
richer and the poor poorer. The true
condition OF affairs, Mr.. Wright CON
tends, Is that the rich are growing
richer, many more people than for-
merry are growing rich, and the poor
are growing comfortably off. There is
n good deal of comfort In this doctrine,
and the calamity bowler to the contrary.
Mr.. Wright brings a strong array of
carefully gathered and well-dlgested
statistics to prove that the standard OF
society as whole is being constantly
elevated, and that those who occupy
what are known as the humber walks
of life are enjoying greater opportunt-
ties and more comforts than those who
occupied the same relative positions

Some of the Democratic papers are
still saying that the Republican condI-
lions which are reappearlng all over the
country are due to luck. The same cry
was heard in 1860, when the Democratic
excuses and follies in the Charleston
convention made Republican success
certain, The Democratic foes of Gree
ley said in 1872 that his endorsement by
their party was stroke Of Republican
luck. The Republican victory in 1880
was also said to be due to luck through
