DID you ever stop to think
how justice q works in this
country? The laborer pro-
duces all there is to eat and
wear, yet eats the poorest and
wears the shabbiest. He
builds railroads, canals, tele-
graphs and conveyances and
improvements Of all descrip-
tions, yet in the majority of
cases he journeys on foot,and
is indeed fortunate if he can
communicate through the
postofhce, and scarcely ever
transmits or receives a tele-
graphic dispatch. So it is
with everything else. Labor
To-Day Is working Tor the ben
eft of capital. Labor bears
the burden Of taxation, i'm
proves the country in times
of peace, and in war defends;
and when all is peace and
quiet, labor is not allowed its
share Of the country's bless
ings. Is it not a burning
shame that such unnatural
and unjust conditions are al.
lowed to exist!

DO BONDS COMMAND MONEY?

The popular theory of bond issue
seems to be that it is equivalent to
raising money to do the business of the
government. We say it is the popular
theory but in making that statement
we desire to exclude the more advanc
ed and conscientious thinkers of the
age. No greater fallacy could be con-
celved, and, yet, it looks plausible at
first sight to the careless observer. We
are told that whenever the treasury is
threatened with an outflow of coin
(meaning gold) an emergecy arises and
the only way to meet that emergency
in a statesmanlike manner is to issue
bonds and bring IN new supply "A per-
tinent question right here Is, does the
government receive gold for the bonds
thus issued? 60 back to the Cleveland
administration and answer the ques
ton. Upon careful examination it
will be found that at least one-half of
the bonds issued did not command gold
at all but were actually bought with
greenbacks and treasury notes. The
logic advanced by the purchasers was
good. They said they held this paper
currency and instead of rendering it to
the U. S. Treasury for redemption IN
gold, they would simply turn it in pay
ment for the bonds purchased; and
thus it was that after this vast debt
this interest bearing debt-was Great
ed, the government had practically no
| greater supply of gold than it had be-
| fore the transaction had taken place.
What further proof does it require to
show that bonds are productive of NO
good, but, rather, a great amount OF
| harm? AS long as the Secretary of the
| Treasury Is permitted to construe coin
to mean gold the endless chain method
of carrying on the bond racket can be
continued ad libitum or as long as the
money sharks control that public Off
cial. The people receive no considera
tiOn therefor, but are burdened, on the
other hand, with a massive debt. The
mildest conceivable name for such ar
outrage is that it is a glaring fraud
| \AA UO WOAO AoOIO0l WO WOulu OCbtl ~ I1S
worst form of robbery and anarchy II
the claim that bond commands golC
| were we'll taken there would still be nc
excuse for its issuance because green
backs, treasury notes and silver dollars
transact more business in times OF
peace and In times of war than all the
gold in existence could or would. Cole
is not medium of exchange; it is g
commodity debased by speculation
and scepter in the hands of monopo
ly. But, as before stated, bond does
not even command gold. 1t is deb
created without consideration and
serves no other purpose but that of fl
ling the vaults of those who toll no
nor spin, by impoverlshing those who
eat their bread in the sweat of thei

SENATOR CULLOM, of Illinois, has
introduced bill in the senate calculat-
ed to give additional powers to the in
terstate commerce commission, and al
though he is q republican, the bill has
met with great opposition from the re-
publican side. Not only does it meet
with opposition from many of the re-
the republican press has taken upon
itself the task to point out it's dangers.
Every republican paper of any stand
ing in Kansas has made it point to
speak in unmistakable tones against
the measure, and even the local repub-
lican paper published in this city con-
sumes over a column in attempting to
show why 1t is not practical, if not
dangerous to the public in general.
There is nothing new in the objections
offered. The same old claim that the
government has no right to interfere
with a corporations business, is ad-
vanced railroad rates are now too low to
meet the running expenses, and numer-
Gus other equally false statements.
The INDEX has repeatedly shown how
expenses could be curtailed so that the
people could have the benefit of II cent
fares and corresponding decrease in
freight rates, and the roads would still
be made to pay a handsome profit, and
we will rot stop now to refresh our re-
publican friends memory, but suffice to
say that it could be done without regret
to anyone save the high salaried offlci-
ais and the watered stock manipula-
tors. Yet we believe that the transpor-
| tation question will never be settled
right until the government actually
owns and controls the railroads. But
| in the absence of the real remedy, a
partial remedy is desirable. Hence it
| Is that the interstate commerce COM
mission should have additional powers,
| nationally, and the state board, locally,
so that they could do something toward
relieving the down trodden people.
| This accomplished. make these boards
elective and let the. people be prudent
| in making a choice. If public owner
| ship or direct law cannot be obtained
then the ne xt lest thing to do is to give
| boards of commissioners power to reg
ulate fares, and let the public see well
| to it that none but honest and justice
| loving people are allowed to sit IN such
q responsible capacity.

tion of the present state administration
probably do not know or have forgotten
what it has done for the people of Kan

Boyle, Stryker and Bush have saved
many thousands of dollars to the peo-
pie by compelling decency on the part
of corporations, and that In all these
fights Governor Leedy has upheld them

for the citizens and the taxpayers, if
you can.
