taken to teach its members that they are
not commissioned for any such purpose,
they will do a world of mischief.
II there have been any middle-of-the-
road Populists in Washington and they
did not consult with Populist Senators
and Congressman, the Senator's and Con-
gressmen have themselves alone to blame
for the neglect. They oppose and harass
the middle-of-the-road people on every
occasion and at every opportunity. Why
should they be consultedP
But it is rumored, this "Washington
letter" Of Mr.. Butler says, that the mid.
dle-of-the-road folks want to start a
party paper in Washington. Well, sup
pose they do; what Of it? Haven't they
a right to do 30? There sno such paper
published there now. And it is "under
STOOD" says the same letter, that the
scheme will be carried into execution 'if
the Republicans will furnish the funds" :"
Is Mr.. Butler the man to denounce a
Populist for accepting or even asking
assistance from Republican? Did not
he and his friends in North Carolina
form a combination with Republicans
three or four years ago, and is not Marion
Butler now in the United States Senate
in pursuance of an agreement entered
into with Republicans before that union
was formed?

POPULIsTS AND THE TARIFF.

The ADVOCATE has received from Pop.
ulist headquarters at Washington clip
ping from newspaper printed at the
capital, purporting to give q statement
Of the reason why Populist Congressman
and Senators will NJ vote for the pas
sage of the Dingley tariff bill. 1t ap-
pears from a typewriter introduction
that the statement was issued by q
unanimous vote OF joint caucus of the
Populist members of the House and
Senate"
The statement would fill column and
a half Of the ADVOCATE set like the mat
ter on this page, and, summarized, it
alleges that the tariff question is not in
issue now, that it has no bearing, either
as cause or remedy, on existing hard
times, but that "the sole object Of the
gold Republicans seems to be to engage
the Democratic party in the old chronic
tariff war and thereby sidetrack all other
questions or issues which they fear to
meet, and which alone can bring general
prosperity" and adds
These and other like considerations have in.

In an interview last November, when
Senator PETER was asked what he
thought Congress would do on the Cuban
question during the winter session, he
answered, "Nothing, except to afford
an opportunity for some Of the Senators
and Representatives to air their views" 4"
and he was denounced in some Of the
Kansas Republican papers, and the wish
was expressed that we had a man in the
Senate with backbone enough to stand
up for his own country, etc. But he told

has, he would be a much better man
than he is in the eyes Of men who know
him best. The Washington Post says Of
this show Of bad blood: "Nobody in
sisted on his throwing mud at Mr.. Bryan
or calling him offensive names. Neither
the place nor the occasion suggested it.
Nothing said by any other speaker led
up to it. We are bound to assume,
therefore, that Mr.. Thurston INDUCED in
this depression by way Of gratifying q
purely spontaneous impulse"
The advocate., 1897-04-14
A GREAT PRINCIPLE INVOLVED.

The discussion Of the Foraker pooling
bill will develop a great principle Of
social growth. The railroad people claim
that rates of charge for carrying freight
ought to be, first, reasonable, and sec
ond, uniform.
AS abstract propositions, these are
tenable. But in determining what are
reasonable charges, we come onto two
other propositions that must be first con-
sdered, namely; (1) that public trans
portation is public function; and,
therefore, (2) that it is properly subject
to public control.
A railroad is an improved highway.
That has been repeatedly decided by the
Supreme court Of the United States as
we'll as by State courts. 1t is used for
an exclusively public purpose, as much
80 as q court house or a city street.
These cost the people who use them just
what is necessary to keep them in good
and usabe condition, and the amount is
raised by taxation Of the people. The
principle involved in public taxation to
support public agencies, is the same
principle on which charges for public
transportation ought to be based. 1t is
in practical operation daily and hourly
in the carrying and distribution Of the
mails. The street carrier that brings
our letters to us at our doors is paid out
Of moneys raised by public taxation, ex-
cept that each person who posts letter
or package is required to pay in advance
something, but he pays no more for
stamp that insures the carrying Of his
letter thousand m lies than for carrying
it five miles. Here we have uniformity
and reasonableness. 1t will be observed,
however, that the Congress, and not the
mail carrier, regulates all these things,
and Congress represents the people.
The principle involved in all matters
relating to the performance of public
duties is the principle Of public right.
The whole is greater than part, it is
the sum of all the parts, Public rights
are the rights Of all the people when
taken as one.
The advocate., 1897-04-14
THE PEOPLE AND THE RAILROADS.

Just now the transportation question
is in the glare Of the country's search
light, and Populist doctrine will prevail
in the examination. Sixty five years ago,
when our fathers were experimenting
with steam and the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad Company was offering prize of
81, 1000 for locomotive that would draw
a load fifteen miles an hour, the subject
of transportation was not a National
problem. 1t was but a local affair.
Railway companies, like ordinary bust
ness establishments, were strangers to
one another, and goods in transit were
rehandled at the end Of every road.
There were no through lines, there was
no through traffic, there were no through
tickets or bills Of lading.
All that has passed away under the
operation Of the law of development, and
now we have a judicial declaration of the
law Of the land-which is, in this case,
also natures law-that no combination
Of private interests shall be permitted to
stand in the wsy OF the common inter-
ests Of the whole body Of the people.
The combinations among railway and
other corporations were but SO many evil
denoes Of natures law working through
the selfish interests of individual men;
and not until their conduct came in con-
fict with public interests were they
arrested and brought before the bar of
the peoples court.
The testimony shows that means for
the distribution of the peoples surplus
productions are absolutely necessary if
society and government are to be main
tanned, that every member Of the social
organism is interested more or less in the
interchange of commodities, and that
justice requires the establishment and
maintenance OF uniform and reasonable
rates Of charge for moving property from
producers to consumers. The testimony
further shows that the private and per-
sonal interests Of individual men are not
safe guides for the administration Of
public justice.
The law of the case, as it has been de-
livered by the court, is that public rights
are paramount and that nothing is law
full which interferes with them or
abridges them, and that the people in
their orga nized capacity have an inherent
right to protect themselves as a social or
political entity.
The YER dict and judgment will be that
The advocate., 1897-04-14
April IA,

public transportation is the exercise Of
public function, that therefore the means
employed for it's exercise ought to be
owned and operated by public agents,
and charges ought to be no more than
for the use Of other public property
enough to keep it in repair.
The advocate., 1897-04-14

D0RNG the investigation by the legis-
lative committee in session in Topeka,
some testimony was given which serl-
ously involves the reputation OF several
members Of the late Legislature. 1t is
greatly to be hoped, for the credit Of the
men concerned and for the honor and
good name Of the State, that they will
be- able to remove the disagreeabIe sus-
picions which have gone abroad.
The advocate., 1897-04-14

CONGRESS-, in appropriating $250,OOO
for relief Of the food sufferers along the
Mississippi river, is but following prece.

public money has no warrant in the con-
stitution of the United States.
