From this table it will be seen that
there was reduction in expenditures
every year except one, and that was IN
the year beginning June 80, '9l and end
ing June 80, '92 when only part of the
offices was controlled by the Populists.
During the past four years when the
Populists were almost in complete con-
troll, about 81 900 was saved to the tax
payers of Barber county. How then may
we ask, can the voters of Barber county
afford to turn the county back to the
republican party? The Populists took
hold of this county under the most ad.
verse circumstances. Unparalleled fail
ures, panics and disaster were common.
Republican extravaganza had sunk the
county seemingly hopelessly in debt.
but the wisdom, honesty and economy
OF the PopuliSt party made these debts
vanish like dew before the rays of the
sum mer sun and now, for practically
the hrst time in the history of Barber
county, we are on cash basis. War
rants are worth their face value and
county deposits draw the usual rate of
interest.
1T you want this this state of affairs
to continue vote the Populist ticket. 1t
the republicans are victorious this fall
extravaganza Will curse the treasury.
Most of the candidates on that ticket
are here temporarily;the have no inter-
est in the county and stay only because
they hope to make something out of
the offices. When that is done, they
are done, and those who remain will
have to foot the hill

GO TO THE POLLS EARLY.

Election day is now only thirteen
days distant and no Populist should
leave stone unturned. The POpulists
have the power to elect the entire tick
ct if they will exercise it. Every mem
Der OF the party should constitute him
self committee of one to see that ev-
cry Populist voter goes to the polls ear
ly on Tuesday morning, November 2Cd.
The various township committees
should look after this carefully. We
cannot afford to loose a single vote.
Don't let the fact that the contest this
year is local one, make you less ag-
gresslye or less determined. The re-
publican party-the champion of the
gold standard and corporate supremacy
is making strong effort to capture
every office from the greatest to the
smallest. If it succeeds 1t will use
the offices to perpetuate its authority
and the caus of reform will be Grip
pied. Work for the success of POpu-
lism early and late. 1t is the party that
recognizes the rights of the masses. 1t
holds that the rights of man are more
sacred than the rights of property; it
opposes government by injunction, and
upon its success depends the welfare OF
the people. Work for and vote the
POpulist ticket.

PorULIsr PRINCIPLES ARE RIGHT.

The best and only safe way of deter
mining whether or not party is entitled
to the suffrage of the people is to consid-
er the principles the party represents.
The lines between repubIicanism and
Popullsm have been clearly drawn.
The republican party. to put it briefly,
is in favor of concentrated power; it be-
lieves the authority to control the ma
ton should be vested in q few men; it
believes that the rights of property are
more sacred than the rights of man. 1t
is the champion of corporations; it be-
lieves that the people have no right
to interfere with monopolies without
regard to how much monopolies inter
fere with the rights of the people. The
republican party favors and uphoIds
financial system which makes money
dear and scarce which, in turn, makes
labor and the products of labor cheap.
The Populist party represents prInci-
pies exactly the reverse. 1t believes
that the people are the highest authori-
~ in the land; it believes that this gov
eminent, being government for, of
and by the people, should regulate cor
poratiOns and ultimately own and con
troll all natural monopolies. The Popu-
list party holds that government by IN
| juction is monarchy in fact and hence
| destructive of the liberties of the peo-
Pile; it demands strict adherence to law
and order but denounces usurpation in
public servants.
The principles Of these parties being
thus clearly drawn, the intelligent vo-
ter must necessarily make a choice.
The question that he must decide is
which party is better suited, and which
party will more zealously guard the in
terests of the people. If it is found
that the people are not capable of gov
ernlng themselves, or If 1t is found that
| absolute freedom is dangerous to the
human race, then the remedy can be
found in voting the republican ticket.
But if it is found that the people are
able to manage their own government
and if freedom in person aud freedom
in speech helps to enlighten and i'm
prove people, then the same voter will
enlist in the cause of Populism and re-
| form. There is no middle ground.
Which principle do you endorse.

WHAT P0PULIsM Has DONE FOR BAR.
BER COUNTY.

This paper has made the claim for
the past four years that the PopuIist
party has saved Barber county a great
deal OF money since it assumed control
of county affairs, and like all other
statements we make, were are prepar-
ed to prove the assertion. On Monday
we received, through the kindness OF
Deputy County Clerk Cant, a state
ment OF monies expended for county
purposes beginning with the year end
ing June 80, 1891, to the wearing June
30, 1897, emitting the year ending June
80. 1893. This year IS omitted because
the total. in this instance, cannot be ar
rived at except by a great amount of
time and trouble and neither we nor
Mr.. Cant had the time at our COM
mand. 1t is almost safe to say, howev-
er that the expense for '93 is less than
it was in '92.
The Populists elected their first adj
ministration In the fall of 1890 and
those officers assumed duty in January
1891. 1t is, therefore, fair to begin with
the expenditures OF that year. The
statement follows:

We recently had a conversation with Hon.

convinced that they are safe men TO elect to
the offices for which they are candidates, and
all the campaign thunder used against them
will have no effect upon us, and We find that a
sentiment more favorable is arising 10 their
favor as the campaign progresses and it
should behoove every true Populist to stand
firm for the whole county ticket and not to
waver because of q few petty jealousies that
have arisen for all candidates before a county
convention can not be nominated. Every eff
fort will be made to defeat the Populists this
fall and If such is the case no one but the Pop
ulist party will be to blame for it. In union
there is strength. ALERT.

How can any democrat consistently
support John Wyer for commissioner
John Wyer is not now democrat and
never was. Three years ago he was
elected as a Populist. Prior to his
claiming to be Populist he was re-
publican and we have every reason to
believe that he has gone back
to his first loye.' 1t is true that he
accepted nomination at the hands of
six or eight individuals from Hazelton
and ElwOod townships who called
themselves a democratic convention
but this was only done as a piece of
spite work by another sorehead who
was defeated in the Populist conven-
ton. If MIR. Wyer is anything but a
republican his actions do not show it.
If he is democrat why Is 1t that the
Cresset has suddenly become his politi-
cal guardian? The Kiowa Review is
the only democratic paper published in
the county and yet whenever he throws
dirt at this paper or at the Populist
candidate he goes to the Cresset-the
republican paper-and "authoriZes'' it
to use about half of its space in doing
the foul work. The editor of the Ores
set worked hard and long to get the re-
publicans of the Second district to
nominate Mr.. Wyer for commissioner
instead Of Mr.. Nay, the present repub.
lican candidate. but to the honor of the
republicans of the Second district, be it
said, the scheme failed. But even now,
the editor of the "Cresset" is making a
campaign for Mr.. Wyer. We expect
that both Mr.. Wyer and Mr.. Axline
will deny the statements herein made
but they had better go slow. The
Cresset itself Is in evidence, and, un-
fortunately. Mr.. Axline made trip to
Kiowa about a week before the republi-
can convention and "shOt off, his
mouth to few republicans who did
not think they were bound to obey his
Royal Redheadedness. The evidence
is all against the Wyer- Axline combi-
nation and if they raise too much fuss
it may be necessary to shut them up
with another affidavit. Go slow, gen.
tlemen, the pIblle is onto your game.

OUR republican friends have thus far
failed to notice that it was Populist
legislature and Populist governor
that passed the stockyards law. They
have also failed to note that it was a
Populist attorney general who made a
successful fight in the federal court
when the law was attacked by the
stockyards company. The operation of
this law VIII save thousands upon
thousands of dollars to the stock ship
pers of Kansas and surrounding states.
If the legislature had done nothing else,
it would be entitled to more praise
Than its republican predecessors.
