of, which brought in a revenue suf-
hcient to pay all government ex-
penses and leave surplus to apply
on the debt. We can but conclude,
had the Democrats had control of
Congress during Cleveland's first
term they would have plunged the
country into debt from the very
start at such rate that they would
have brought about the panic dur
ing the first term instead of the sec
ond.
In face of this record which is one
of the statistical facts of our gov
eminent, a populist convention in
the state of Kansas, with heir usual
disregard of the truth and facts in
the case, resolve, that the Repubh-
can party is a debt-making and per
petuating party.
1t has been by such shame faced
organizations and false accusations
and wholesale abuse of our public
men that the minds of the people
have become contaminated with err
roneous views and conclusions on
governmental affairs and has made
it possible for this vile incubus, pop
ulism. to fasten itself on our people
and for a time throttle public opin-
ion thereby enabling it to foist into
public notice and into public places
few bombastic Office seekers who
care not for the reputation or good
of our country or state so long as
they can by their false teachings and
Misrepresentation of the facts and
history of our country induce suf-
ficient following to hold them in of
fetal places. With them there is no
high moral idea of law and govern
ment but simply expediency for
catching votes.
The populist party of Kansas is in
the last desperate throes of dissolu-
ton or it surely would not attempt
to resort to such apparent tricks
and chicanery in its vain efforts to
hold together. Such thin attempts
to deceive show that the leaders
presume a great deal on the ignor-
ance of their followers. There is
Just where the populist party of this
state is falling down. The thinking
people are looking up the facts in
these broad assertions Cor rather
the want of facts) and are holding
party leaders responsible for their
attempts to deceive by fraudulent
representations and absolute failure
to carry out the principles of their
platforms.

DECEPTION.

WIDER tho Wilson bill the duty on dia'
monds was twenty-five per cent. Un'
der the Dingley law it is ten per cent
1t is not difficult, even for the com
~ monest plebian, 20 decide whose IN
terests were consulted when the Dingley law
was passed, The Blade.
The above might be taken as an
attempt on the part of Bro. Roe to
deceive some honest reader were his
proclivities for joking not SO well
known.
Below we give the facts on the
change in the diamond tariff; The
importations of precious stones tor
the year ending August I, 1898,
amounted to SI2,I43,595, or more
than So, 900, 900 in excess of the
amount imported under the Wilson
German law the preceding year.
The revenues derived by the Gov
eminent in the year ending August
1, 1893, were s8o6,6r2, against
$4o2, 967 for 1897, being an increase
of over 100 per cent. for the Ding
lev tariff. Under the more reason
able and intelligent duties now pre-
vailing the Government receives the
revenue to which it is entitled;'
whereas, under the higher duties of
the Wilson-G German law, probably
one-half the diamonds coming to
the United States were struggled in
duty free.

Now This Man Really Has a
Good Scheme.

After all, there is considerable
merit in the solution of the Philip
pine problem offered by Nick May
rath, the Dodge city man. He pro
poses that the islands be divided up
among the different factions of the
Populst party, SO that each may be
given an opportunity to try its own
system of government. There are
SO many different kinds of Populists
at the present time that it is hard to
select anything satisfactory out Of
the great confusion, and Mr.. May
rath's proposal is entitled to very
serious consideration. At the
state agricultural college little plots
of ground are set apart to test the
different kinds of seeds and the new
strange plants that have come under
observation. In this manner the.
good is very quickly separated from
the bad, and the same system might
apply very successfully with the
many growths of Populism. Indeed,
the more one considers the more
admirable appears the project of
establishing Populist experiment sta
tons, says the Kansas City Journal.
One island would be set apart for
PETER where he could work his
"Way OUT with the gentle typhoons
blowing through his brittle whiskerS;
another might be given to Leedy,
with the power to keep the legislat-
ure in perpetual session, to build
north and south railroads, to fix
maximum rates for the monkey paths
and put all thepublic treasure into his
contingent fund; another should be
given in fee simple to Webb McNall,
with the right to exclude all indust-
ries that will not submit to black
mail, another must be reserved to
Annie Diggs for the development of
her theory that loafer is better than
working man; another should be
devoted to the fatists, who are sure
they can make money out of wind
in the Philippines. and there IS
such a lot of wind in the Philip
pines, too. Another to Judge
Doster, who-but hold Judge
Dostor cannot conscientlously go
to the Philippines and deprive the
using natives of rights that are par
amount to those Of the owners;an-
other to the socialists; one for the
state ownership fellows; one for the
anarchist; one for the sub-treasur-
yites, and one apiece for the hun
dred and more factions which agree
with none of the others as to what
really constitutes good and scientlt-
ic government. And then, in some
wave tossed region, where the rocky
promontories reach into communion
with the Almighty, let little bit OF
an island be set aside for the fusion
Democrats, where they may medl-
tate and decide at leisure whether
they are men or mice, whether they
have policies and principles,
whether they are fit to live alone,
or whether they should build a raft
and go visiting forever among the
other island factions. Mail and

IL of additional bonds and that they only
4 n serve the purpose OF a party measure 70
cover up the deficiencies of the Dingley tariff
law in not providing the amount OF revenue
promised
The above is one of the planks in
the Butler county free silver con-
vention.
If there ever was display Of I'M
adulterated gall or down right stu
pidity and ignorance this is surely it.
The Dingley tariff law was never
intended to raise money to meet the
expenses of a foreign war as is well
known by any school boy in his
teens, but was merely expected to
meet the running expenses of gov
eminent in times of peace, and for
a gang of demagogue politicians to
get together and air their own ignor-
ance or attempt TO prey on the ig-
norance and credulity of their fol-
lowers is manifestation of the
greatest piece of political presump-
ton that has come to our notice
even in Kansas when populism was
in the heyday Of its glory.
The trainers of the Dingley law
figured greater deficiency the first
year than really occurred. The de
fciency was in round numbers thir-
ty-eight million dollars the first year.
1t is well known by every one who
even reads the papers that for
months before the new tariff law
came into effect, in fact as soon as
il was known that the Republicans
controlled all branches of legislation
every large importing firm and ey-
cry foreign agency that was doing
business in this country began rush
ing in their goods to the full extent
of their capacity until when the law
became effective the country had on
hand almost a years supply of
many of the leading articles from
which the law was expected to draw
a large proportion of its revenue.
This was foreseen by the trainers
of the bill and the full effects of the
law were not expected to be realized
the first year. The facts are the
law raised more money and acted
in a much more satisfactory way
the first year than its trainers and
warmest friends expected.
1t is time enough to condemn the
measure after it has had chance to
prove itself a failure Before any
money had been realized from the
sale of bonds, we had in the U. S.
Treasury s2o5,65657I, of which
SI67, 600, 600 was gold and still ovel
500, 900 had been paid out for wal
expenses. Had it not been for the
extra war expenses the treasury
would have had on hand SIS, 900,
600 more than at corresponding
time a year before. There has no
beenia time since the Dingley tariff
went into effect that there was no
plenty of money in the treasury ant
a large gold reserve to make goo'
our paper obligations. Our warex
penses have been estimated to b

INCONSISTENCY.

THE platform of the populists
in the Fourth Congressional
1 District declare that all good
citizens should join opposition to
the Republicans "for that party
stands for an increase in the nation
al interest bearing debt and seeks to
keep the people in industrial slay-
cry"
A little investigation into the
facts of the case will show whether
the Republican party can consis-
tently be called debt making party
in comparison with the record of
the Democratic party. The debt Of
the civil war cannot well be charged
up to the Republican party, neither
the Spanish war debt. Then let us
study the management of the debt
during times of peace.
The highest point ever reached by
our national debt was in 1866, when
it amounted to S2,773ooo, 900.
The lowest point since was in 1898
when it was 81, $40, 900, 900; having
been reduced from 90 to go, ST.
224, 900, 600 Between these dates
the Republicans were in power
twenty-three years and the Demo
Gratis four years. During the TWEEN
ty-three years the Republicans re
duced the debt SCOT, 900, 900 and
during the four years the Demo
Gratis reduced it S192. 900, 900.
During the first four years of
President Cleveland's services the
Republicans controlled Congress so
that the Democrats could not tam
per with Republican revenue laws
and the results were the debt paying
process went right along. Then
came in Harrison's administration
during which the debt was reduced
SII7 1000, 900. Then followed
President Cleveland's second term
during the first year of which the
debt was reduced 81, 900, 900 by
Republican laws still in force. Dur
inS the remaining three years of
Presidents Cleveland's term he had
a Democratic majority IN both
branches of congress and then came
the tampering with tariff laws, and
the application of Democratic the
cries of finance to the affairs Of
government. The results were a
fearful increase of the national debt.
On January Ist, 1898 the debt was
$3.50, 900, 900. On the first day
of January 1897, it was 81 .8o8, 900,
900, net increase in three years of
S259. 900, 900. Then it shows that
the Republicans in the twenty three
years reduced the national iebt
SooI, 900, 600.
During Cleveland's first term I'M
der Republican laws the debt was
reduced sIo7, 900, 600, to which add
the SIT, 900, 600, cut off during the
first year of Cleveland's second
term before the Democratic Cong
ress could get in its work and we
have reduction of 200 millions for
which Republican revenue laws are
responsible as against an increase of
259 millions or a net Democratic in
crease in eight years of the public
debt of so million dollars. And
you must remember that during five
years of the eight the Democrats
were working under Republican tar.
