PARTY TRAITORS.

The Populists Of certain districts in
Kansas have sent men TO the Legislature
who are more nearly Republicans than
Populists. They have sent some men
who vote with the Republicans on every
question in which the interests Of corpo-
rations are involved. Readers can read
lily learn by reading this weeks legisla-
tive report who these men are. 1t is
not necessary now for the ADVOCATE to
do more than call attention to these mems
records. The people are In that frame Of
mind which will insure their consign-
ment TO an early political grave. No one
can help but have supreme contempt for
men who willtully betray the very people
who have entrusted them with power.
In justice to those who are trying to do
their duty, it should be said that large
majority of the Populists have been
faithful, but there are enough traitors to
block great deal Of good legislation.

THE PATENT MEDICINE BILL.

A bill has been introduced in the
House by TheodOsius Botkin Rep.),
whose reputation as District Judge is
not wholly unknown to the people OF
Kansas. This bill, if it became law,
would interfere seriously with the sale OF
patent medicines. 1t is a well.known
fact that numberless people find in many
Of these preparations, commonly known
as patent medicines, splendid curative
qualities. In fact, this is the case to
such an extent that many households
use nothing else in case Of sickness but
careful nursing and medical prepars-
tions with well-established regulations.
1t is the poor mans medicine. Often by
the investment of small amount relief
is secured, where doctor with bur
densome fee in connection might or
might not afford the same relief.
The plea is that it would secure the
sale Of none but meritorious goods. tits
our impression that the people are not
easily fooled, that the medicine compa-
nies know it and that they know that it
is very far from good business sense to
place on the market goods which are Of
an injurious nature or which are of no
value. They aim to make their goods
such that when once used no other will
be bought.
There is no provision in this measure,
as we understand it, which will enable a
patient to know what sort of dose the
doctors fix up when they prescribe. If
passed, il should provide that the pa
tient shall know exactly what is being

ABOUT ADJOURNMENT.

deem POpulist pledges are passed. II

nothing but draw pay, they should
now work until something is done
without pay. This will be hard on the
faithful member, but it will be harder on
the people if this Legislature adjourns
after having done practically nothing.
During this week the people will be
heard from, aud many members who
have been voting against their interests
will change, and then in the remaining
few days something. more may yet be
done. This Legislature should not ad-
journ until it has done it's whole duty to

SENATOR PEFFER writes the ADVOCATE
that his quota Of seeds is exhausted and
that he has also sent out oil that he
could procure Of other Senators whose
constituents did not call for their entire
quota. Some complaints have come to
him because seeds sent out by him have
gone to Republicans. He writes that he
supplies every applicant in the order Of
the filing Of his request and has never
inquired as to the politics OF any Of
them, because he believes that such
things are intended for all citizens,

THE ADVOCATE has at last found out
about the coming Of prosperity. A hand
bill recently issued by the Lehigh Valley
railroad sets forth that MCKINLEY and
Hobart and the new golden era Of pros
perity" will be inaugurated at Washing
ton March A. Much valuable time has
been expended and great deal OF what
might have been valuable matter has
been crowded out Of newspapers to dis
cuss the matter Of whether the prosperity
promised by the Mckinley adherents was
to begin Immediately after election or at
the time Of his Inauguration. This seems
to be the first definite public statement
in regard to the matter, and while it is
not official, it is to be hoped that it is
authentic.

THE TRAITORS WILL BE SHOWN UP

AT the close OF this session the ADvO-
GATE will publish in comprehensive form
a record OF the vote Of every legislator
on every question in which the party
issues were directly Or indirectly affected.
1t will also unhesitatingly point out the
traitors who under guise Of POpulism
fooled the people into sending them to
the Legislature. 1t will also give due
credit to every one who has faithfully
done his duty. It is time that the peo'
pie were adopting measures which will
effectuslly prevent men entrusted with
power at their hands from ignoring the
interests Of the whole people and voting
with corporations, The day Of reckon
ing is near at hand and the people
should, as they doubtless will, hold every
one If their traitorous members to
strict accounting for betrayal Of their in
terests.

TWO KINDS OF POPULISTS IN THE LEG
lSLATURE.

The House contains many faithful
Populists. They are men to whom the
party owes much and who have shown
that they are not disposed to ignore the
trust reposed in them, but on the con-
trary are doing everything in their power
to redeem the pledges made to the peo-
pie. Among these men are Speaker
Street, Brown of Pratt, Bsrkley, True
blood and Weilep. There are plenty OF
others whose opportunities have not been
as great but who have never been found
wanting. At later date the ADvoCATE
hopes TO fully inform the people what
Representatives have stood by them and
The advocate., 1897-03-03

new risks. All things considered, there
is little encouragement to be had from
this source.
In the third place, nothing has yet
been proposed or suggested by Republi-
cans which indicates anything like
q policy or an agreement respect
ing legislation to correct the con-
ceded defects Of our financial system.
Since the repeal Of the purchasing clause
Of the Sherman law in 1893, we have bad
no new money except the silver dollars
coined from bullion then in the treasury,
and this has but little, il any, exceeded
the amount Of treasury notes redeemed.
Our per capita circulation is steadily
diminishing and times grow harder con-
tinuRlly.
The outlook is not encouraging, viewed
from any standpoint. Tariff revision
cannot affect prices in such a way as to
stimulate production and decrease the
number Of the unemployed; and without
additional employment and better prices
for farm produce, the ability of the peo-
pie to purchase supplies cannot be inn
proved.
No plan has yet been devised or pro-
posed by Republicans to increase the
volume of circulating money and in that
way raise prices. So here we are with
our hands tied and a new administration
coming into power with mill-stones about
its neck. Its promises are out, and it is
unable to redeem them. With great
country and mighty people to bank on,
it is bankrupt at the start; not because
it cannot realize on it's assets, but be-
cause it is incompetent and does not
know how to treat the situation,
These words are not written to embsr-
rass the administration nor to discourage
it's friends, but to call attention to the
embarrassments attending the political
situation as the change Of admlnistra-
tions takes place. The ADVOCATES de-
sire is that President McKinley's policy,
when it is announced, may have fair
and full trial. If it succeed and restore
prosperity to the country, we shall all
share the benefits; if it fail, we will then
all understand that a change Of policy is
necessary and these mistakes need not
be repeated.

what have gone off after false gods. The
Populists Of Kansas have right TO know
who are Populist members Of the present
Legislature, and it will not be the fault
Of this paper if they do not secure full
information on those points.
The advocate., 1897-03-03

The ADVOCATE suggests that readers
immediately write members Of the Leg
isIature urging them to pass the maxi
mum freight law and other measures
promised the people. The Legislature
is not likely to adjourn until March 13,
and there is yet time to communicate
with members.

THE defeat Of the trust deed law in

EMBARRAssMENTS OF THE INCOMING
ADMINISTRATION.

tory has ever been more embarrassed by
attending circumstances and present
conditions than that which will be inaug-
ursted tomorrow.
In the first place, political and social
conditions are threatening. Dissatisfac-
tion is general, unrest is universal. And
these are not new features Of the situR-
tion, they have not been suddenly thrust
to the surface of affairs. In view OF
their existence and because OF their pres
ence, the political parties in the CAM
paign Of 1896 framed their platforms
with special reference to remedies for
the prevailing discomfort. Both OF the
old and leading parties divided on an
issue that has been coming to the front
some time, and each Of them made GER
tain plain and emphatic promises OF re-
medal legislation if entrusted with
power. Success having come to the Re-
publicans, they are now charged with
the fulfllment of their pledges.
In the second place, there is wide
spread unbelief respecting the efficacy OF
the proposed legislation. The only pol
ICY on which the party may be said to
agree is that Of a protective tariff, and
that agreement is general, it does not
apply to details. 1t is not expected that
duties will be raised all along the line.
The party is not pledged as to schedules.
It is nowhere contended or expected to
re.enact the Mckinley law. 1t is ex-
pected TO tax some articles now on the
free list and increase the duties now
levied on some Of the articles which are
on the dutiRble list. 1t is proposed to
re-adopt the specific method OF laying
duties; that is, a specific sum by guam
tity-so much per pound, per yard, per
gallon, etc., and not a certain rate per
cent. according TO 0GIte (Gd O0JOren1),
which is the method Of the present law.
Duties on farm products generally will
be largely increased, but everybody
knows that will not help anyone except
to the extent Of revenue going into the
treasury from that source. 1t will not
raise the prices Of farm productions, nor
will it furnish employment for one addi-
tionsl laborer.
Duties on liquors and other luxuries
will be raised, but that will help no poor
man to employment; it will not induce
the building Of one new manufacturing
establishment, nor will it open one now
closed or add one man or woman to any
now running. Wool will be again placed
on the dutiable list, and compensatory
duty will be added on woolen goods
This will work q benefit to msnutac'
turers Of woolens, but it will not increase
the working force Of the country to any
apprecisble extent. 1t is not expected
that any change will be made in the cot
ton schedule, except to make the duties
specific instead Of Gd UGZorem. This
will not affect prices and therefore viii
have no influence in providing work FOL
any more hands than are now employed
And az to iron, we are now selling
abroad, and our foreign trade in thai
article is yearly improving. A slight in
crease on sugar will produce q large rev
enue, but it will not give employment x
any men now idle, unless it stimulates
tie building of new factories, and that i
rrobuhlv will do II tha lack Of faith
