MIR. BRYAN MUST SPEAK 0uT.

At Mr.. Bryan's meeting in Glasgow,
Ky, last week, he was asked two perti-
nent questions and failed to answer
either in such way as to disclose what
his views really are on the subjects
proposed. We all understand well
enough that Mr.. Bryan wants to limit
discussion to the single question of sill
yer, but he knows that the great body
of the dissatisfied people are thinking
about some other matters that to them
are of prime Importance. They have
right to ask candidates touching these
matters, and they are entitled to plain
and intelligent answers If they get any.
Here are the questions and the answers:
The first was:
do YOU favor national ownership Of
railroads and telegraphs and their op-
Grafton by the government in the inter
est of the people, or leaving them in
the hands Of private corpOrations?"
Mr. Bryan replied;
Il am going to fight the battle in
front Of me before I fight the battle be-
yond that. AS heard Populist say

asserts in its Saturday issue that during
all the years Of Republican rule in Kan
sas the words in the heading Of this arti-
Gle were never stamped on State war

that there was at least one exception to
this rule. 1t will here be shown how
this condition was eVaded by them as
short time ago as last December. The
following are the first Of the month bal

by the Treasurer's books during the last

RElnNTsOENCE, IL you PLEASE.

A REMINISOENOE, IF YOU PLEASE
Kansas turned somersault in 1890.
1t was said by spectators that her heels
were where her head ought to be and
they inquired, What's the matter with
Kansas?" Republican writer's and
speakers responded in solemn refrain,
THE State has been invaded by horde
Of demagOgues who have taught our
farmers dangerous doctrines and they
have organized revolution. They have
formed political party made up Of
cranks like themselves; they have
elected FIVE Congressman, an oVerwhelm-
ing majority Of the Legislature, and a
United States Senator. They propose
to repudiate their debts, repeal the col
lection laws and abolish interest"
1t was solemnly declared by these good
people who had not been converted by
the cranks and demagogues aforesaid
and whom they believed the Lord had
saved and reserved to look after the
good name Of the State, that all our busi-
ness failures were the result of incOmpe-
tence, that our crop failures came
through Incidence, and our inability to
meet maturing obligations, unlike the
cases Of other people who were stu
ated just as we were, was attributable to
sheer dishonesty.
Briefly, it was said, the poor among
us are POpulists; the indolent, the in
competent, the thriftless, the weak
minded, the hair-brained, the reckless,
the irresponsible, the vicious-all the
troublesome classes have gone through
the Farmers Alliance into this mongrel
party Of repudiators.
On the other hand, the energetic, in
dustrlous, thrifty, honest, wide-awake,
up-to-date, loyal and patriotic people
were simply waiting till this dreadful
storm Of treason should blow over, in
the meantime doing the best they could
to preserve the honor of Kansas.
ALI that was back in the dark days Of
1890 and subsequent years. And now it
is 1897, we are basking in the sunshine
Of Populist administration, the Lord
has favored us with good crops and bet
ter prices, and White, Burton and the
rest Of the good people are singing the
praises of these loyal Kansans who, dur
ing the years of our tribulation, were
coming their poverty, making virtue of
paying their debts, and thus
saving and raising the States credit, so
that now, when Republicans have come
to comprehend the virtues of prosperity
breeding Populism, the nightmare which
so troubled them and their credit-wreck-
ing brethren in other parts, is trans
formed into allegOry or a Renaissance,
II you please.
After all, the poor, miserable, lazy,
despised crank, the debt-ridden anar-
,hist and revolutionary calamity howler
Of 1890, has been the savior of the
States credit and is now adding honor
and glory to her history through clean,
honest and broad-minded administration
Of her public affairs in all of the three
governmental departments.

In passing on a case recently, the Col
orado Court of Appeals included the fol-
lowing in it's opinion: 1--WE cannot ap-
prove a practice nor subscribe to a
doctrine which permits the exercise by
the courts of the extraordinary power of
injunctiye relief for every wrong or, in
fringement upon the rights of another.
Such course of procedure, if carried to
its ultimate natural conclusion, would
tend to entirely subvert the fundamental
principles upon which our system Of law
is founded"
The advocate., 1897-10-20

It will be seen that on September /,
1896, when there was but $361.49 in this
fund, there were warrants outstanding
amounting to $2,54375, making a deficit
of $2,1S2.26. On October the balance
on hand was $5S991, and the warrants
outstanding and unpaid amounted to
$6,271.SS, leaving deficit of $5,7S1.97.
On November the balance on hand
was $49223, the amount of outstanding
warrants was still $6,271.SS, and the de-
ficit reached $5,779.65. December l the
fund had dwindled to $4.04, the outstand-
ing warrants reached $16,673.S6, and the
fund was short $16,669.82. At the first of
the year 1897 the balance was $S,S76.59,
of unpaid warrants there were $21 ,22l. .36,
and the shortage reached $17,344.77. On
January 8, 1897, the day of the change
Of administration, the balance ON hand
III this fund was only $89545, the unpaid
warrants amounted to $21, ,221.36, MAX
ing shortage Of $2O,S25.91. 1t will
readily be seen that in a period of more
than four months this fund was not
only exhausted but 1t was overdrawn
in amounts which finally reached more
than $4,000. This deficiency kept get
ting larger. That there is no doubt
about this condition is shown by the
fact that all of these unpaid warrants
were afterward paid and the fund placed
in good condition by Treasurer Hefle-
bower. The words Not paid for want
Of funds" were not stamped on the war
rants because some one kindly secured
possession of them and saved the treas
ury the embarrassment of so doing by
Withholding them until POpulists gained
control, when the money was shortly
afterWard paid. The fact that the war
rants were not presented is the only
thing that saved the Republicans from
all exposure of their condition, and this
was doubtless done by the classes which
profit by the ascendancy of the Republi-
can party. More figures along this line
win be given later, when it will be shown
that deficiencies in funds OF the State
treasury were really common, rather
than an uncommon, condition.

the Rothschilds own the government"
The second question was:
"If all the currency intended to circu-
late as money shall be redeemable in
coin as demanded by the Chicago plat
form, nav do you propose to prevent
bankers and money sharks presenting
thls paper currency at the treasury, de-
manding gold and silver for it's redemp-
ton and thus lOoting the treasury of it's
coin reserve and forcing issues of bonds
to replenish it?"
Mr.. Bryan replied:
Until the government announced that
1t would redeem its obligations in gold
there was no trouble, and when the gov
ernment says 1t will redeem its obN-
cations in gold and silver at its own op-
tion there will be no more runs on the
treasury. The Republicans are engaged
in conspiracy to retire the greenbacks,
so why should we not join hands to pre-
vent this rather than wait until they are
retired and then make fight to get
them back?"
To the first question Mr.. Bryan says,
in substance, will not answer, we are
not now fighting on the transportation
question and 1 will say nothing on that
subject; and then he relates what he
heard Populist say about it.
AS to the second question, it is clear
that Mr. Bryan does not wish to COM
init himself in public on the retirement
OF the greenbacks. And that is not
strange when we reflect that a large pro-
portion Of his party favors the retire
ment of all government paper money.
1t was in January 1895, that Senator
Jones, Of Arkansas, who, the next year,
became Chairman of the National Dem
ocrat committee, introduced a bill in
the Senate and urged its passage, to
sell $5OO,OOO, 900 Of per cent. thirty-year
bonds to take up the greenbacks and
treasury notes. In urging immediate
and favorable action ON the bill he said
that greenbacks had once been the peo-
pies money but it was not now, and he
said the friends of silver would make
a great mistake II they opposed his bill.
The Democrat party does not be-
IieVe in government paper money any
more than it believes in government
railroads. 1t was for that reason that
Its national convention in Chicago, July.
1896, demanded that all paper which is
to be circulated as legal tender must be
issued by the United States government
and be redeemed in coin. That party, in
1892, demanded the repeal of the tax
on State banks; that party favors State
banks Of issue.
The Advocate does not know whether
Mr. Bryan is in accord with his party
on this subject, but that is no reason
why he should not either decline to
answer or else answer plainly yea or
nay.
The Advocate has said a good many
complimentary things about this man,
and we would repeat them heartily and
under similar circumstances
What this paper now demands of Mr..
Bryan is, that when he is asked ques-
tions relating to matters which Popu-
lists take to heart, he shall meet the
questions in manly way and say moth
ing or answer them clearly. Mr.. Bryan
and his party desire Populist support,
and for that reason, If for no other,
Populists may properly ask him ques-
lions and they are entitled to unequivo-
cal answers.

more serious IL the earth had opened
and swallowed half the property in ex-
istence in the United States. And
though the earth did not open, never
theless prices and values fell one-half

ST. Louis will establish line of steel
barges to carry grain to the seaboard
al New Orleans at the extremely low
rate of cents bushel. The barges,
with a cargo of 800 tons, will draw not
TO exceed 15 inches, which means an
open river at all seasons. This is a mat
ter of great interest to the farmers of
the Mississippi valley. A shlp-yard for
the construction of steel barges will be
opened soon in st. Louis and the new
system Of transportation is to be in
operation by next March.
