moulding public affairs goes forward
for four years more, as it has for the
four years past, the name of liberty will
only be worth a recollection as a matter
OF history. Money is pressing the peo-
pie backward step by step. What is to
be the end? If it goes on there are, as
matters trend, but two solutions. One
is socialism and the other is revolution.
The American people must defend them
selves from money, just as they once
guarded their forest frontiers from the
savage. Unless they come solidly,
shoulder to shoulder, for their rights,
and come at once, Bunker Hill will
have been a blunder; Yorktown a mis-.
take"
When a man worth twenty millions,
and one who, for quarter of a century
has stood in the very heart and wal
center of money, conquering fortune for
himself-wben such man begins to
talk like that, he's apt to prove impress
sive. Also, he's not apt to be alone.

Perhaps the most striking figure to
take the Democratic Bryan end of the
in an aggressive and militant
way is James R. Keene, the Gar of Wall
Street, the unchallenged king of specula-
ton. Mr.. Keene was for Mckinley
in 1896; gave $4,000 toward his CAM
paign. Today he's for Bryan, and had
a long interview with the Nehraskan on
the occasion of a recent visit.
"The people of this country" said
Mr.. Keene to me in a recent converse
ton, "nlust arouse themselves. The
coming election is of more Importance,
from the point of pure and true Ameri-
canism, than any that has transpired
since the second election Of Lincoln.

lmperialist Blackmail.

The Washington correspondent of the
Indianapolis News rep, speaking of
the persistency with which the Porto Rico
tariff was sought, says:
"a Republican member Of congress,
who doesn't wish lis name used, gives
the following reasons why this tariff bill
had to be jammed through:
"On the fate of this legislation de-
ponds the ability of congress to exploit
we might say blackmail-the new pos
sessions. By means of tariff congress
can touch the business interests of this
country by tariff legislation, but the ex-
tent to which blackmail can be levied is
limited. Tie interests in this country
are represented in congress. They have
paid their attorneys. Generally the
legislation is in their favor, but the plan
is for congress to get in its gripthe power
to operate a tariff against the colonies
so that the latter shall have no repre-
sentative in congress. They will have
no means of protecting themselves
against the blackmail. Every session
congress can juggle the tariff rates,
touching an interest here and there, and
there will be nothing for the interests to
do but to fill the hall with lobbyists and
come down with the coin. Work in a
small way with Porto Rico will work in
a larger way with the Philippines. The
patronage feature in exploiting the colo
MES is insignificant compared to this.
This is the end-of-the-century way Of
doing the business. Spain was out of
date and bungling. We will show them
how. "-Bayonet.

OUR TICKET.
A Word to Middle.Oi-the-ROad POPulists and
Social Democrats.

That larger measure Of socialism IS
coming rapidly in government, municipal,
state and national, no one who IS at all
observant can doubt. That this is the
great and important remedy for the
present evils and that trusts are rapidly
leading to It are truths equally apparent.
Many, even in the Republican party will
agree to this. The great problem is, how
to hasten the realization Of conditions
desired. How to place in the form of
law and put into operation most rapidly
and most successfully throughout the
country cooperation instead of compe-
tition, the control Of public utilities by
the public, for the public good instead Of
by private corporations for private gain
is the great object for which all true So
cialists, and we are proud to be of that
belief, are striving. All socialists are
agreed that the medium Of exchange
money, the means Of communication,
the telegraph and telephone as we'll as
the postofice and transportation, the
railroads as well as the wagon roads
should be owned and operated absolutely
,bv the government How much farther
this idea should be carried time only
can tell, and upon this there is no gen.
eral agreement.
Where those to whom this is addressed
are, in the judgment Of We editor, at
fault, is in refusing TO cooperate with
those who desire only portion of this
program, insisting that no progress at all
toward the end IS better than a union of
forces and the present accomplishment
of a portion Of this program Attention
is called to the fact that Lincoln, Greedy
and other leaders in 1861, declared that
their purpose was simply to arrest the
further progress of slavery. The war
was begun, not to abolish slavery, but
to arrest its further progress. The force
of events carried the cause when once
begun, beyond the intention of those in
power and no one would now say the
result was not grand and glorious. So it
will be in this movement. The great
danger is in not getting party in power
that favors making a beginning.
People's voice. [volume] (Wellington, Sumner County, Kansas) 1890-1917, 1900-05-31

The Democratic party is committed un-
equivocally to large degree Of social
ism. The absolute control of money by
government means the Specialization Of
one of the most important functions. 1t
is committed to policy which shall
arrest the Entertainments Of aggregated
wealth. Give it and its allies
power, and aggregated wealth will,
like the slave power of 81,
take such a course as will compel the
abolition of the curse of aggregated
wealth. Millionaires will be no more, as
chattel slavery is no more. Just where
or how this will come no one can tell,
but come it must, and the actor and the
act will live by the side of Lincoln and
the emancipation proclamation. The
hope now is for a peaceable and speedy
transition from competition to co-opera-
ton. It must begin soon and must not
come too rapidly. Any step gained will
never be lost. The things nearest and
dearest to people in government today,
are those most socialistic, as the post
office and the public schools. The whole
question is one of education, and the
best education is the accomplishment Of
some portion of the program. The COM
plete Specialization Of money, transpor-
tation and means of communication
would mark an era in the history Of the
country second to none and give such
an impetus to the idea as would carry it
forward as rapidly and as far as wisdom
and prudence would dictate. Division
into separate camps of those of varying
shades Of belief may be carried on in
definitely fol- there is no common ground
of absolute agreement and never can be.
This division into warning camps will
but result in tie tightening of the
grip of the monopolistic cut-thrOat COM
petitive system.

Poor Farms and Lommerciallsm.

W. L. A. johnson, secretary OF the
state labor bureau 10 a paper presented
to the national conference Of coTrec-
tions and charities at Topeka, gave
some information concerning Kansas
which, 10 many particulars, is as
founding. In the course OF bis ad-
dress, he said.
IL desire to call attention to the
unfortunate fact that the care and
custody Of the property involved In
poor farms 10 Kansas seems to take
precedence over the care aud custody
or the welfare Of the dependent in
mates. The omission OF prescribed
rules for the management OF these
institutions may be due TO the abseL &c
of any well.defned laws upon the
subject, yet it would seem that the
cCuaty commissioners might deter
mine upon some uniform method Of
management based upon humane con-
sideratiOns in behalf Of the inmates,
prescribing, at least some simple rules
or methods looking toward the i'm.
prOvement Of the inmates, and tend.
ing to ultimately lessen if not elimi-
mating entirely many Of the evils OF
pauperism. That this is rot true is
evidenced by the examination o.
nearly a hundred copies Of the con-
tracts secured IN our investigation
existing between the county commits
sioners and superintendent Of the
poor farms of Kansas, wherein COM
mercialism OvershadOws humanitar-
lanlsm to the extent that in a five
page contract prescribing regulations
regarding the care and custody Of
property and products, two lines is
thought sufficient TO provide for the
welfare and interest OF the inmates,
and iu many instances no reference
whatever is made TO theinmates. The
following examples may be OF interest
pointing out this fact: In one county
the superintendent agrees to care for
all inmates, in another county agrees
to care for and oversee the poor
farm the only reference to inmates,
but he also kindly agrees to take
good care of all the stock now on the
farm In another county reference
is made to the contract between the
superintendent in the following Ian
guage: The county gives him S..
Ler head a week for boarding the
paupers.' In still another county
the superintendent advises the world
that he is in charge Of an asylum for
the poor by inscrlbing on his official
county letter head the following:
superintendent County Farm. Breed
er of Poland China Hogs, ShOrthOrn
Cattle and Standard Bred Poultry,
This business is carried on with the
official sanction OF not only the,county
officials but is tolerated by the people
of the county. These few instances
are cited to demonstrate the degree
to which cOmmercialiSm enters into
the operation and management OF
some OF our asylum farms. | desire to
say, however, that these few samples
are not characteristic Of any consider
able majority of our counties or our
people, but are pointed out tOindicate
the possibilities Of the admixture OF
profit and gain with the disbursement
of public charities, in the absence OF
well-6efned laws governing the care
of our delinquent and dependent
classes"
