SAYS the Globe-Democrat:
1.-THE farmer who has any
wheat on hand now gets good
prices for it." Oh, yes; but
where is the lucky farmer
who is so fortunate? The
grain trust has long since alb
sorbed the farmers supply
and the only consolation that
Mr.. Farmer is getting is to
pay high prices for his -four.
And that is the poorest kind
of consolation. The Globe
Democrat, in this connection,
might have added that the
farmer who has diamonds to
sell is right in the push.

THE PROPER SENTIMENT.

For the first time in the history of
the state the people of Kansas are feel
ing themselves at liberty to criticise I'M
faithful servants and it is a condition
which is to US a pleasure to notice.
Since the true motives of some of the
members of the recent legislature have
come to light there have been numer-
Gus communications from the plain
people of Kansas published in our lead
ing papers but one among the best we
have ever noticed is the following
which was published in the Topeka Ad-
vocate Of last week. 1t sums up the
situation very thoroughly in a few
words and we have no hesitancy in say
ing that fully 80 per cent of the people
of this state will say amen to it. The
writer of this communication is secre-
tary of the Peoples party central COM
mIttee of Linn county, and, of course,
finds great deal of satisfaction in the
fact that the representative and senator
of his districts recorded their votes
consistently. We in Barber county can
happily say the same thing of our rep
resentative and senator but other coun-
| ties are less fortunate. We don't know
how the recalcitrant Populists feel
when they read such communications
as the one herewith published but we
know how they ought to feel if there i:
any honor or decency in them:

THE question of national banks is
under discussion and our position has
been attacked by most of the republic
cans hereabouts and by few gold stan
dard democrats. But to again prove
what we repeated many times before,
we submit the following from the Mis-
souri, (Chillicothe) World. This paper
has distinguished itself as one of the
leading papers of the United States and
its editorials are respected by even the
most rabid partisaDs. We want to es-
pecially recommend this editorial to the
candid consideration of the editor of
the Cresset:
1.-The national banks get money from
the government at one per cent, and
say it doesn't pay, because they have to
pay so much for bonds to put up as
collateral security. Well, let them
step out of the way as an intermediary
between the people and the govern
ment, and let the money be loaned d.
rectly to the people, instead of to the
banks and by the banks to the people.
Ii the government should charge the
people no moro than it does the banks,
there would be quite an advantage to
the borrower. Money at one per cent a
year, the rate paid by the banks to the
government, would enable many mer-
chant, farmer, and manufacturer, to
take his nose from the grindstone.
Eight per cent on 50, 500 is $500, while
one per cent is but $25. In some of the
western states the rate is ten per cent
or more, and the advantage to them
would be greater than here in Missouri
where tho highest legal contract rate is
eight per cent. Two and three per cent
a month is not an uncommon affair in
some states. Three per cent a month
on 500 is $3e year, while one per cent
on 500 is but one dollar per year. AS
long as the banks say they are making
very little out of the government loans
to them, they should not complain il
the privilege of borrowing of the gov
eminent is taken away from them and
given to the people.

WE notice from

We notice from reading
some of the recent special
press dispatches from Tope-
ka, that the fusion politicians
are actively engaged in fixing
up a slate for the fall of '98.
One of the conditions of said
slate is to retire Hon. j. d.
Botkin, congressman-at-large,
to make room for one David
Overmyer. 1t is early to dis
cuss nominations but we want
to drop the remark at this
time that these "fixers" are
doing business without prop.
er authority. The people are
going to do their own nomi-
mating and the work of polit-
ical tricksters will not be
ratified.

The Cresset and nearly e1

The Cresset and nearly ev-
cry other republican paper
which came to our exchange
table last week, contained a
supplement lauding the Ding
ley robber tariff bill. This
supplement was furnished to
these republican papers FREE
OF COST. We challenge a de-
NAL from anyone, and we
doubt whether even the Ores
set will have gall to say our
statement is not true. Popu-
list papers do not receive
these favors from abroad and
hence it costs them something
to continue in business.

The Cresset of last week published a
letter from Lyman Gage to show that
the u. S. treasurer can, at his discre-
ton. pay L. S. bonds in either silver or
gold. That is the Populist position ex.
actly, but it is fact worthy of notice
that Secretary Carlisle has invariably
chosen gold when it came to paying any
obligation If the treasury department
would use silver to discharge these
debts bond issues would be vastly de-
creased. But Secretary Gage is follow
ing IN the footsteps of his predecessor
and the white metal will be discrimin-
ated against as usual.

IT is astonishing, but it is
nevertheless true, that for
eign capitalists own the prin-

A protective tariff is simply
a scheme by which foreign
capitalists are enabled to tax
the American people into
serfdom. Protection is a
glorious thing, isn't it?

The INDEX does not "de-
sert," nor never has deserted
the statement that the gov

lists.
