errors and judges are but preachers of

determined upon principles of natural

ing the very silly argument, that, as the
consumer pays the freight it would be
no benefit to the Kansas farmer to have
the freight on farm pruducts, such as
grain and live stock, reduced. Every
farmer knows that when dealing with
local buyers of grain or live stock fol-
shipment the price to be paid Is always
determined by looking at the Kansas
City, Chicago or st. Louis markets and
subtracting the freight charges between
the local point and the place to which
shipment is made. The farmers have
lately shown determination to get theil
rights In the way Of freight rates, and
every argument, silly or otherwise, Is

THOSE six hundred workmen who
were discharged by the Westinghouse
Air Brake Company at Wilmerding.
Pa, a short time ago. are only reaping
the fruits of their own folly. During
the campaign they were all members
of the Mckinley Club and many Of
them deprived themselves and their
families of the necessities of life
to honor Mckinley and the repub-
lican party. Today they are without
money and without labor. OF course it
may be said they are not to be blamed
for the reason that they were prom
ised continuous labor and high wages
in the event of McKinley's election, but
that will hardly be sufficient excuse;
they were promised the same thing on
former occasions but the promise was
not fulfilled. But even though they al
lowed themselves to be duped they are
subjects of pity and it is not surprising
that Immediately after they were dis
charged their wrath and indignation
was so great that they tore Mckinley q
portrait into fragments and demolished
nearly all the fixIngs of the Mckinley
club room. We don't believe that these
six hundred American laborers will
again lick the hand that smote them,
but if they do they will deserve to suf-
fer for their stupidity.

WE are again compelled to ask for
glveness of our readers on account of
an article which appeared on the pat
ent side of the INDEX last week. This
time it is an article from the Railway
Age" which denounces legislatures for
attempting to reduce transportation
rates. The whole article is bosh from
beginning to end and it is a gross in
suit to ask intelligent people to read it.
The Western Newspaper Union from
which we get our patent, is evidently
being paid we'll by the corporations for
smuggling such rot into Populist pa.
pers, and we have become weary of be-
ing victimized. We have therefore ar.
ranged with the Kellogg company for
our patent after this week. We have
been promised strictly Populist matter
and we hope we will get it. If We do
not, we are at our strings end, as we
could not possibly get out an all home
print paper with our present patronage.
But all that is IN our power to do will
be done to keep this trash out of our

''Thls committee is purely business
organization to discuss all economic
questions and revive business in all
parts of the country and in accord with
natural conditions. The great mining
interests of the country must be devel-
oped. The cotton fields Of the south
must be provided with factories and
the great grain producing regions OF
this commonwealth must be guarded
and market found for it's wheat and
corn and greatly enhanced prices, and
this can be accomplished by building up
trade centers, which will result from
uniform freight rates and by market
ing our export products through the
guilt instead of wasting energy IN trans
porting our surplus by way of Chicago
to New York, distance nearly three
times as great, yet the freight charges
are less by reason of the discrimina-
ton in the interest of the eastern cities
and eastern ports as against western
cities and southern ports"
There is great deal of truth and
logic in what is set forth above. The
people of the west, generally, are i'm
