Democratic Resolutions.

The following ringing resolutions were
adopted at the Democratic convention
last Saturday, They are worthy the care
full consideration of every voter Of Sum-
ner county. The Populist platform was
not less emphatic in its declarations for
the people. Republican conventions
never pass such resolutions because those
controlling the party are under obliga-
tions to and are controlled by railroad
and other corporations. The conven-
ton was we'll attended and was enthusi-
astic and harmonious throughout:
We, the Democrats of Sumner county,
in convention assembled, do hereby en-
dorse each and every principle enunci-
ated by the national convention at Kan
sas City, Missouri, on July 4, 1900, and
also the principles enunciated by the
Democratic state convention held at Fl.
Scott, Kansas, on the 25th day of the
same month.
We do especially recommend the rail-
road planks of the platform adopted at
the state convention, and do urge upon
our representatives the necessity Of fore
ing those reforms into immediate action.
We further demand that they shall
take every step possible and within the
power Of the state to force the railroads
of the state to abandon the unjust dis
elimination against Galveston as port
of shipment for our wheat, and demand
that they do everything in their power
to compel the railroads to grant just and
equitable rates to that port without the
necessity of transporting our grain
through Kansas City.
We further denounce the present Kan
sas grain dealers association as vicious
trust intended to force the farmers Of
Kansas to take whatever price for their
wheat and corn may be dictated by
the said grain dealers association, and
we demand that this trust shall receive,
at the hands of the state, the same treat
ment which is visited upon other trusts
attempting to do business within the
state.
We commend to the public the Demo-
cratic and Populist officials Of this coun-
ty, and beg to call attention to the fact
that, while there are charges and coun-
ter-charges of corruption and incompe-
tency against the Republican county
officials, there is not a whisper against
the integrity and ability of those men
elevated to Office by the Democrats and
Populists Of Sumner county.
We denounce the insiduous action Of
the railroads Of Kansas in their attempt
to violate the law by increasing the rate
Of shipments of live stock through the
weight system, and call attention Of the
public to the fact that the attempt to i'm
pose similar robberies upon the people
during the last Populist and Democratic
state administration brought down upon
the railroads the powers Of the state and
forced them to desist from their unlaw.
full and unjust charges; but that on the
other hand the present Republican ad
ministration has not raised hand tC

cattlemen of the state.

GALVESTON&

One OF the leading members of the
Grain Dealers Association in the county
said to the editor yesterday II have read
every word you have said concerning the
Grain Dealers Association and it is all
true and you could say more, but we as
individuals should not be blamed. The
railroads and manipulators of grain at
Chicago and Kansas City have deter.
mined to do away with the scoop shovel
man, or in other words, that no grain
shall be handled except through eleva.
tors, In order to get US into It and get
this system established we are given a
liberal rate which is as you state four to
six cents per bushel on all grain handled.
Once the system is thoroughly estab-
lished the men with one or few eleva-
tors will be in their turn frozen out and
the whole thing will be managed from
Chicago and Kansas City"
In all this our friend is correct. This
three to five cents per bushel of which
the local grain men are now robbing the
wheat raisers will not long be permitted
to go to local dealers. The most gigan-
tic trust in existence will before this
crop is marketed be this same organiza-
ton which will control the whole output
of grain for the United States. 1t will
be farmers trust in which the farmers
will have no part. Local grain men
should be prepared to sell their elevators
at liberal discount and go out of busi-
ness. Such rake-off as they are now
getting is too good to be permitted long
to go to common everyday people like
those who are now getting it. Only
those living in ease and elegance in
brownstone mansions in New York or
Chicago will be permitted thus to plum
der their fellow men.
How do you like it, my brother? How
much longer and harder must you be
squeezed before ysu are ready for gov
ernment ownership Of railroads and gov
ernment interference and control of such
wholesale robbery as is now transferring
a large part Of your surplus to the schem-
ers and tricksters who are despoiling
you? Whoop it up for Mack and Mark
and Chester, for putty, Doodle and

Six Counts.

In his speech at Indianapolis, Mr.. Bry,
an undoubtedly proved these six charges
against the Republican party; that it is
Controlled by the money power.
With England in the war against the
South African republics.
With imperial ambitions for conquest
and vast standing army.
Wholly unfriendly to the working
classes.
Aristocratic in all principles.
In favor of the wealthy few against the
poverty-stricken many.
These charges are unanswerable and
will remain unanswered on election day.

The people of Wellington and Sumner
county are now being afforded an excel.
lent object lesson of the methods of a
trust. For years the Bell telephone
company have furnished the people Of
Wellington inferior service at $500 per
month per phone. All efforts to get bet
ter service or more reasonable rate were
unavailing and were met with the state,
ment that no better service could be fur
nished for the money.
Now that an independent company
has put in a system and is furnishing ex-
cellent service at $500 per month per
phone the Bell people are offering phones
free or on any kind of terms they think
necessary to get them in, are putting up
posts and stringing dead wires in all di-
rections to interfere with the new COM
pany and are resortlng to every known
device to break the new company down,
even going into court to cause delay and
expense. Should the Bell people sue
ceed rates will go back and people will
be helpless in their hands. Such are
the methods of the great corporations
that control all the larger enterprises Of
The country and the government itself.
Not until they are owned and controlled
by the government and operated in the
interests of the whole people will the
people be free from their extortions.
Public ownership is the only remedy.

Trusts.

The Democratic party stands pledged
to an unceasing warfare against private
monopoly in every form. 1t demands
the enforcement of existing laws against
trusts and the enactment of laws yet
more stringent. 1t wisely demands pub
licity as to the affairs of corporations EN-
gagged in interstate commerce. Mr..

THE BACON RESOLUTION.


THE BACON RESOLUTION.
Resolved, That the United States
hereby disclaim any disposition or inten-
ton to exercise permanent superiority,
jurisdiction, or control said Philippine
Islands, and assert their determination
when staple and independent govern
ment shall have been erected there, en-.
titled in the judgment of the Urited
States to recognition as such, to transfer
to said government upon terms which
shall be reasonable and Just, all rights
secured under the cession by Spain, and
to thereupon leave the government and
control of the islands to the people.
THE M'ENERY RESOLUTION.
After the ratification of the Paris
treaty Senator McEnery Of Louisiana,
who had voted in the affirmative on that
question, introduced the following reso-
luton:
Resolved, That by the ratification of
the treaty of peace with Spain it is not
intended to incorporate the inhabitants
of the Philippine Islands into citizenship
of the United States, nor is it intended
to permanently annex said islands as an
integral part of the territory of the
United States; but it is the intention of
the United States to establish on said
islands a government suitable to the
wants and conditions of the inhabitants
of said islands as will best promote the
interests of the citizens of the United
States and the inhabitants of said islands.
