GEMS FROM THE NEW ERA.

Real prosperity and monopoly cannot dwell
in the same country.
The man who votes for systems whereby the
"public" is robbed ought to remember that he
is part of the public.
Every voter is sovereign, and he is respon-
s;bl. to til. country for the manner in which he
exercises his sovereignty.
The man who refuses to do anything to over
come public wrong thereby becomes a partic-
ipant in that public wrong.
The man who casts his ballot at the dictate
of party boss is betrayer of his country and
an enemy to the community
Farmers cannot make themselves rich by i'll
creasine their crops, so long as money-mongers
can manipulate the price of those crops.
The preacher who is afraid to preach politics
usually has more regard for the welfare of his
nocket.bcok than for the welfare of his people.
Cod gave the earth to the "children of men, )"
bu+ some corporations and syndicates seem to
thrL that they are 9th. children of men,
When politicians begin to talk tariff as rem
edv for evils caused by monopoly, they must
be working on the principle that like cures
like"
A SIT, plus of money in the banks in the great
os,ters is of little advantage to the country
merchant who cannot get any money from MS
customers.
IJnoualihed and unlimited private ownership
Of land implies the right of those who own the
lad 70 cav to the rest of mankind, "Get off
the earth"
If the "peope' cannot be trusted TO make
their own laws and run their own government
where shall we find men to make laws ana run
the government who are not "people' =!
The trouble with many of the remedies pro-
n,sed for labor troubles is that they do not 60
to the root of the trouble, which is interference
bv monopoly with the right OF man to employ
himself.

reservedly in favor of honest money and the
maintenance of public faith, credit and honor.
MANY of them believe in the principles OF a
tariff for revenue and for protectionr But any
measure whose justification is the contraction
of the currency, or which will reduce the price
of wool, hides or other raw material by unre-
strained competition, and increase the cost OF
coats and shoes by heavy duties on the manu-
factured product, will uot be received with un-
measured enthusiasm by the Republican farm
ers of the Mississippi valley"

Plenty OF Men for the Army.

The war department has closed number OF
rasrr;t;ro Offices in several cities where posts
are located in the vicinity. 1t is held that
these stations are capable of enlisting all the
men needed for the service, and that more men
.nnlv than are needed. In no time within the
memory of the oldest officer of the army was
material for the service so easy to secure, OF
srch snlendid material and at so little expense.
Military note in Kansas City Times.
r,be above item is easily explained. Will,
so MANY men ont of employment, 1t Is an easy
matter for Uncle Sam to get all the soldiers he
wants. True, these men receive but plttance
as soldiers, but they prefer that to starvation.
II Is tins that the Goulds and their lk are en-
abled to hire one-half of the people to kill the
other half

HER BABY DIED.
BY A MAN WITHOUT A SOUL.

Walking out each summer ev'ning
Through the poorest streets of town,
Gancing through narrow window,
Where faded wife sits down,
Holding in her arms baby
All! so pale and hungry-eyed;
Stained are cheeks of child and mother,
Where the bitter tears had dried.
She's the wife of an engraver,
Better workman ne'e was seen;
But of late he is supplanted
By cheaper art machine.
Nowhere can he find employment;
New machines drive him away;
And the faded wife and baby
Grow m ore gaunt aud pale each day.
Last week, passing by that window,
That poor mother sat alone;
When asked her of her baby
She could only weep and moan
But neighbor woman answered.
She, too, pale and hungry-eyed:
'Pass on, stranger; don't disturb her;
Her poor child of hunger died!'
Loudly came the sweet tones ringing
From the great cathedral bell =
Seemed to me like some great demon
Marqueradiug in this hell
Of human hoplessness and hunger,
Where poor women, gaunt and Wild,
Sit besid little coan, --
Weeping DER their poor starved child.

What is the Labor Exchange? ?

We clip the following from Progressive
Thought Labor Exchange paper published
at Olathe:
It is all organized, industrial, beneficiary in
stitution, which can be established III branches
at any point where number OF people wish
to cooperate for mutual benefit, and the laws
of no civilized country will interfere with its
equitable transactions.
Its first object is to endeavor to employ the
idle and prevent them from being swindled by
speculations or becoming burden to them
selves or society, and it provides plans or means
by which the products of labor can be talrly
exchanged so that each ealth-producer may
receive an equitable reward for his services to
society.
1t provides it's own money, or medium OF
exchange to the full need OF the community
in which it is established. 1t does away with
rents and speculations, and soon proves t'ae
eraadest blessing ever introduced by man III
auv age of the earths known history.
1t prepares the way by which all true reforms
can be brought to the front, while none can be-
come complete success without its aid
This system will Quickly settle all the argu-
nent and controversy, between the different
aeitators, of ideas as to how better conditions
may be established, by practical demonstration
of facts
So far it has fully proven to every sincere
investigator that it is the best and only method
by which Justice can be established tor all
classes. 1t does not interfere with any ones
notions on religion or politics, and gives every
one full individual freedom in all personal
matters.
Remember that as long as you do not thor
oughly understand that every word OF the tore
going short assertions are truths, SO long you
do not fully comprehend the magnitude OF this
system of operation, and the best thing you
can do is to make every possible effort to COM
prehend its force.

A NEW and nobby method of furnishing work
for the workingman comes from Sparrow's
Point, Maryland where the mills of the Mary
land Steel Co. are located. The paper says
that a, 900 people "will be made glad" by the
resumption of work which is conditioned OH the
employees of the mill paying for the repairs
needed to put the plant in condition to be op-
Grated. The company says it can't afford to
nav out $50, 900 for this purpose. 1t is poor,
poverty y-strcken company that has only been re-
ceiving 81 900 per day from the steel trust for
letting its mills stand idle. No, the poor COM
pauy couldn't stand it, so after putting their
beloved employees to work at reduced wages,
they inform the opulent, over-dressed worker,
who has also been!idle the past three years, but
without 81 900 per day, that the employees
must pay the cost of putting the mill in shape
to run. It only costs $50, ,ooo-the company
can't afford 1.-THE employees can. This So
cialism must be nightmare--the workinginen
don't need protectiop--its the bankers, the
milionaires and manufacturers who are facing
starvation Coming Nation.
THE decks are being cleared for action on the
money question. The gold reserve is pulling
its freight for grand old England About the
time the tariff bill is finished the treasury re-
serve will be depleted-a widespread panic will
hit the country and nothing can save us except
to retire the greenbacks, issue $500 1000, 900
bonds and base national bank note circulation
npon these bonds This will be done all right;
don't YOU forget it, either. The people will
then pay two interests upon every dollar in cir
culation-one interest upon the bonds, another
upon the national bank note which they borrow
from The good, generous, patriotic banker. The
people haven't been able to pay one interest up
on the gold dollar-just how they are going to
paw two is beyond comprehension. The Amer
leans are already slaves-this step either puts
them near serfdom, peasantry and peonage, or
If brings them nearer to conflict for freedom.
Let the dance 60 on.-Coming Nation.
If the greesbacks are no longer to be paid
ont after the whole issue shall have bcen receiv-
ed for gold, the great contraction of the curren-
cv will make times still harder than now. Be-
tween tariff tiuker and vicious 6nanciers the
outlook is exceedingly serious.-Paola Times.

In long article on GLOW to Consolidate our
forces" in Kansas, the Independent, of Topeka,
a silver Republican paper OF no little merit
urges that the committees of all the silver forces
in the state call joint primaries and let the peo-
ple unitedly nominate their tickets (and they
could also nominate delegates to state, judicial
and congressional conventions), and further
says:
If those with whom we are personally aquaint'
ed are fair sample, the Populists OF Kansas,
as whole, are intelligent and honorable men.
They are also very much in earnest in their
desire to change present conditions for the bet,
ter They know that this is impossible until
a majority of the voters are welded together
into a homogeneous party; and the thinkers
among them are aware that the only way to
construct such party is to get the voters to-
.qether, consulting each other, acting unitedly
and learning to esteem each other as brothers
and soldiers in the great emancipation army.

rThe troable about protective tariff is not SO
.,ruch that the consumer pays the tax that goes
into the treasury" says the Baltimore News,
."but that he pays the like tax on the home
manufactured article, and this tax does not go
into the treasury, but is handed over to the
manufacturers There is no way in which the
tariff can serve the purpose of protection except
bv raising prices, and no amount of juggling
with figures can possibly show that it does pro-
tect the manufacturer without raising prices"
