Under circumstances as they now ex-
ist, with silver demonetized by the
great commercial countries of the globe,
with the frightful chasm that separates
the commercial value of the metals
constantly widening and in the light
of our own recent national election |
cannot bring my own mind to believe
that the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to l with gold is within the
reach of its friends, nor can | help the
fear that it would not be desirable even
IL attainable.
/ have never been able to say and
cannot now say that know free coin
age at such ratio under existing con-
ditions without safeguards of any kind
to maintain the parity of the metals
would not drive gold out of circulation
and leave us, practically at least, upon
a silver basis. Horace Boies

Plenty of Gold.

A good deal of complaint is made as
to the small amount of gold in the
world. 1t is the very fact that gold is
found only III small amounts that makes
it so desirable for currency. If it was
as abundant as iron, it would be as I'M
available as iron for money purposes.
As to the comparative quantity, there
has not been five years since 1850 when
there has not been much larger
amount Of gold in the world in proper
ton to the necessity for its use than
there was i'll the preceding five years.
and there is more today in proportion
to the necessity for its use for business
than there ever was before. Hen. John

Those Wheat Conspirntors.

In 1896. when wheat scored such big
advances, Just before the national cleo
tion, many farmers were suspicious that
the advances were u part OF great
Wall street goldhug scheme to beat
Bryan and silver. Now that presidon-
tial election is three years of these
same farmers will scarcely credit tho
present very high price of wheat to tho
same gang of conspirators. They know
that wheat is selling for dollar be.
cause II il actually worth n dollar in
tho markets of tho world-not simply II
40 cent dollar such rs we might have
had had Bryan been elected, but IL 100
cent dollar worth par IN any civilized
country.
The farmer who still holds his wheat,
rs most do, is not sorry that it is worth
gold instead Of silver dollar. Nor
is no losing much sleep over tho very
low price Of silver. He fails to SEQ the
same intimate connection between tho
prices Of silver and wheat which he
once imagined he saw, and tho whole
free silver delnsion has lost its charms.
He may not tell all Of his neighbors
right away what ho thinks, but ho will
keep thinking. Byron W. Holt

ure applicable thereto. In the event
person in Kansas should inherit prop
erty within the state, and by chance
should come into possession of addi-
tional property through the death of
relative, or other cause, in other states,
the limit of inheritance or holding is
placed at $4,000 for children and $780,

Mr.. Keefer, in the event the provis-

suggests the following scale for chill
dren:
Between $50, 900 and $4,000. 10 per cent
to go to the state.
Between $4,000 and $4,000. 25 per cent
to go to the state.
Between $4,000 and 500. 900, so per
cent to go to the state.
The bill is pending before the judi

get after it with a club and drive it

A CURIOUS LETTER.
Received by the Governor From a
German in Chicago.

Governor Leedy has received the fol-
lowing letter from Charles Porman of
Chicago. The letter is written in German
but the governors private secretary
translates with ease and this is the re-
suit:
II have a request to make of you. Times
here in Chicago are so bad that it is i'm
possible to get work. Since the FIRST of
May have been without anything to do.
I have a wife and six children to sup
port and am very much discouraged in
Illinois there is no cheap land to be had
nor can money be borrowed AS 1 have
become poverty bound in Chicago and to
improve my condition want to remove 10
Wichita, Kan. because Kansas has plen-
ty of good land and homesteads; also
cheap money is to be had there was in
Wichita seven years ago and farmed
near there and know what the soil is but
on account of sickness and other family
affairs I moved to Chicago. ] wish very
much to return to Wichita, but have not
the means so pray you to send me and
my family a pass or tickets. MY oldest
is IA: second Il: third s. I beg of you not
to consider this as impertinence and to
favor with reply.
The governor has not forwarded the
passes as requested, although he is very
DESTROYS of seeing the tide of imnigra-
ton directed toward Kansas, but not of
INDECENT people.

KANSAS CREAMERY INTEREST
Arguments it Offers Against Sale of
Oleomargar1ne Gas Butter"

The dairyman and creamery owners
are massing their strength in opposi-
ton to the lobby which is surrounding
the Legislature in the interests of the
packing companies and manufactures of
oleOrnargarine The latter has been
here for several weeks and has placed
a good many obstacles in the way of
the creamery and dairymen. In re-
Spouse to this, A. E. Jones, chairman of
the legislative committee of the State
Dairy association today, said to a Jour
nal reporter:
One of the principal arguments be-
ing made by the enemies of pure butter
is that poor people cannot afford to buy
anything but the lowest grade of oleo,
which retails at 1215 cents per pound.
This spasmodic awakening in the in
terests of the poor just at this time
would seem much better if applied to
articles of food other than oleomargar-
inc.
"They might as we'll say to manufac-
turers of any pure food, don't put it on
reach of poor people. They can only OBJ
tain the cheapest and most inferior
grades of goods offered for sale No
matter what it's character the idea pre-
walls that the price must be low.
1T is wise to use economy in our
purchases but why should the less fort
innate of our race be recommended to
eat an article that people of higher sta
tons in life will not put upon their ia
bleS?
These philanthropists 90 are never
moved TO Sucn deeQS OIL perseverance, eA-
cept once in two years when the pack
ing houses open a fight on any pure
food bill that may be presented to the
legislature. At such times it is wonder
full what an amount of sympathy the
poor man receives but on other occa-
sions he is never heard of from those
sources.
"They argue that oleomargarine is
the poor mans friend. Let US see. The
better grades of that article sell at Is to
1712 cents per pound. Farm butter is
worth no more. Creamery butter can be
had for 20 cents the year around.
1T is also claimed that the proposed
bill would rob the state of an industry
giving employment to nearly 1000 peo-
pie. A representative of the Armour
company testified before the house COM
mittee on agriculture a few days ago
that the Armour company employed $50
people in that department. This COM
pany makes nearly all the oleOmargar-
inc made in Kansas Compare this
with the number of people engaged in
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1897-02-19
the dairy business Men are EMPLOYED

the dairy business. Men are employed
s follows in Kansas:
Cheese and butter factories. 700
furnishing milk to factories. rs, 900
Making butter for market. 90, 900
The dairy business gives employment
to over $4,000 men and there is invested
In the business over SIS, 000, 900.
This law does not aim at the de-
struction of any business. The bill pro-
Vldes that oleomargarine shall not be
sold unless it be marked plainly and in
Such manner that customers will not
be deceived.
The United States supreme court
Justice Harlan writing the opinion, has
Sald that oleomargarine is deceptive
and fraudulent article. The opinion
contains the following:
The constitution of the United States
does not secure to anyone the privilege
of defrauding the public and the states
are as competent to protect their people
against such Offenses as they are to
protect them against crimes or wrongs
OF more serious character"
The passage of the proposed protec-
tive measure would stimulate the dairy
interest all over the state and give en-
pIOyment to thousands of men that are
now idle 1t would also enable them to
purchase the best grades of butter
New York Vermont, Massac husetts,
wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa have
restrictive laws against the manufac-
ture and sale of imitation dairy goods.
No states have richer or better cultiva-
ted farms than those.
In two or three months there will he
opened in Topeka butter and cheese
factory, cold storage and supply house
that viii give employment to a number
of people as operatives and furnish
work for number of teams hauling
cream from the country. In the west
ern part of the state where the dairy
business has gained foothold the
farmers are slowly recovering from the
effects of dry seasons. The passage of
this law would benefit them more than
it would injure the people who are eat
ing oleomargarine. Forty thousand
farmers have petitiohed for the passage
of this bill. 1t is meritorous measure
and should pass
