as nearly just as possible, but, he said,
there was such a confusion Of rates and
roads in the territory in question that an
adjustment was hardly possible.
There are two ideas clearly brought
out in these two cases: One is, that
local interests interfere with the estab-
lishment and maintenance Of a uniform
and equitable system Of freight charges
in this country; and the other follows
logically, that, as one Of the witnesses
put it-"there is such a confusion Of
rates and roads that an sd-
iustment is hardly possible"
The ADVOCATE does not believe that
local interests should be permitted to
prevent the establishment of a transpor-
tation system that would be perfectly
Fair to all the people and their varied
interests; nor does it believe that such a
confusion Of rates and roads as render an
adjustment "hardly possible" ought 10
be allowed to exist. If the Government
of free people is not competent to cor
rect these manifest evils, the Govern
ment itself needs reconstruction.
The advocate., 1897-05-05

learning Of a lawyer who knows his
client is "guilty as charged" The igno-
rance OF many learned physician is
concealed under the long and technical
description he gives OF case he does not
understand. Here we have an old we'll
established Republican newspaper, edited
by a bright mana graduate Of Har-
ward, giving such stuff Rs this to it's
readers for statement Of "the real
question at issue" in the most remarka-
bic campaign in our political history.
Ask POpulist what was the issue,
and he would turn to his party platform,
as the Christian does to his Bible, and
quote: ave demand the free and un-
limited coinage Of silver and gold at the
present legal ratio of l6 to l." Then he
would turn to the Republican platform
and read:
We are opposed to the free coinage
OF silver except by international agreement
with the leading commercial nations of the
world, and until such agreement can
be obtained the existing gold standard must
be preserved.
Eliminating the coinage of gold from
both platforms, the only part Of the
money question left in issue was the
free and unlimited cOtnage of Sig0er at
the present legal ratio. Populsts and
Democrats and silver Republicans af-
irmed; Republicans and National Dem
ocrats denied.
And now will the Capital kindly
answer this question: Were not gold
and silver coins used as standard money
in Europe at ratios fixed by law during
many centuries before 1873, and were
not both metals coined in unlimited
quantities in France and the United
States from 1903 to 1873 at different
ratios and without injury to commerce
either domestic or foreign?

BUSINESS SITUATION.

AS to the business situation at the
end of last week, the Globe. Democrats
financial article says: Gan intelligent
resume Of the business situation, as it
exists at the present moment, is about
as puzzling task as one would care to
undertake. With q good many lines it
is between seasons, with a good many
others there is not, and has not been SO
far this year, any season at all, and yet
the listless and demoralized conditions
existing in some lines are in sharp and
direct contrast with the relative activity
and prosperity existent in Others"
R G. Dun g. Co.'s weekly trade re-
view says: "In spite Of moderate i'm
provement in most industries, business
is disappointing. Expectations Of
speedy end Of the war in Europe through
Turkish victory have helped to depress
grain demands Of Austria and China;
have caused exports of $1,000, 900 gold;
merchandise imports are greatly in
creased and final action of Congress on
the revenue question seems more remote.
Wheat rose last Saturday nearly cents,
but has fallen about 5 cents. This 10
largely because European markets did
not sustain the expectation Of great
foreign demand after the outbreak of
war, and because events appeared to
foreshadow speedy peace, but the tidings
from the growing States, the receipts
from farms and the enormous exports Of
corn, all had influence"

speech in the Senate Of the United
States nearly FIVE years ago by the pres.
ent editor Of the Topeka Advocate.
You see IL takes only about five years to
change snarchism to socialism. This
great subject was not worthy OF a bank
er's attention when submitted by q
Kansas Populist in 1892; but it is grave
matter when brought up as something
new by an officer Of the United States
Treasury Department in 1897.

"REPUBIICANs AND SOUND MONEY!

REPUBLICANS AND SOUND MONEY"
Under the above caption the Sunday
Capital tells OF correspondent who
suggests better party organization so
that young Republicans may learn
enough about politics to answer Populist
arguments. The correspondent cites the
fact that the said young Republicans
did not understand the money question
last fall, and hence could not stand up
before their aggressive opponents.
Answering its correspondent, the Cap
itGl says the issue was Simple" and the
trouble with the boys was that "they
allowed themselves to be led off the main
road of the debate into bywsys and back
alleys, following the aimless meanderings
Of the Pop street debater until they were
so far from the great, but after all sim
pie, question at issue as entirely to lose
track Of it,"
The learned editor of the Capital goes
on TO relate what he heard in the way Of
street debates last fall, and then under
takes to define the "real question at
issue" and make it plain to everybody.
Here are his words as they are printed:
The real question ct issue was simple oRe
and all Republicans before the campaign
al .An. -
swer all the irrelevant and meaningless argu-
ments OF the Pops or not It was whether
Congress could by its fat weld two independ-
ent, huctuating and variable commodities into
one.
No wonder the Capitals correspond
ent wants the young people better in
formed, when their daily teacher, the
Topeka Capital, don't know any more
about what was in issue during the great
campaign # 1896 than appears in the
words above quoted; and that is about
as near the truth as any Of the gold
standard papers ever get on the money
question.
Possibly our neighbor may say we do
not quote him fairly. To remove all
possible ground Of complaint on that
score, we quote sll he says for himself;
The real question at issue was a simple one,
and all Republicans before the campaign
closed understood IT, whether they could an
swer all the irrelevant and meaningless arRu-
ments OF the Pops or mot IL was whether
Congress could by It's fat weld two independ-
ent, fuctuRting and variable commodities
into one. Gold and silver are not one thing
but two things. Each is subject to conditions
Of its own production, supply, desirability and
use In the world. Professor Lsughlin Of Chi
cago University pUt the whole matter in snut-
shell when he said to attempt 20 fix ratio by
ststute was like balancing bar ON movable
Eulcrum.
All the rest Of the Capitals article is
quoted from the BGAkegS' Magazine,
which clouds the subject and mystifies it
more even than does the Capital itself.
1t is astonishing how easily men are
deceived when the task is undertaken by
learned writer's and speakers trained Cor

punishment through the aloquenCe and

ruads.
The advocate., 1897-05-05

IT is told Of Calvin S. Brice, the rail-
way magnate and late United States
Senator, that when he had advanced far
enough from his poverty to become
partner in great railroad enterprise, he
and his partner were both Republicans,
and it became important from business
point Of view that one Of them should be
Democrat. To decide which should
change his politics, coin was tossed,
and Brice lost. That explains how he
became Democrat for revenue only.
