From the Washingtonian: "With sill
yer selling the lowest ever known and
wheat 20 per cent higher than rear ago
it is no wonder that Organism is dying
issue" We would like to ask the Wash
ingtonan, what is the cause OF the rise
in wheat? Is it the fall in silver, or Nc
Kinley prosperity? We will predict the
diving Organism will be the hottest thing
the republican party ever had to handle,
in 1900.
BY the labor unions report we see
that Collaboration, populist- Kan
sas, the state that was beneath the dig
nifty OF the republican party to acknowl-
edge as sister state Of our glorious
union last fall, is today the most pros
porous, has the least idle men and is
financially in the best condition OF any
state in the union. Ex-Governor McGraw
in a speech last October said he hoped
the republican party would succeed in
electing a senate and thereby avoid the
ruinous populist administration which
had overtaken Kansas. Poor, bleeding
Kansas!
