The money commands the
labor instead of labor COM
handing the money. This
is exactly reversing the true
order of things. For it is
making a dead centralizing
power to rule and tyrannize
over the living, productive
power, whereas, the produc.
tive ought always to com
mand the unproductive pow.
er. II any writer upon polit-
icai economy, or any finan
ciers, have discovered the true
nature, power and use of
money, they have not made
such discovery manifest to
the understanding of the
public. For the laws Of IA.
tions as we'll as the newspa.
pers and other publications
of the day, are still carrying
forward and enforcing the
idea that money is a produc.
tive, living power. Yet the
power OF money is entirely a
dead power and totally IN
productive Notwithstanding
its legal accumulatiye pow

THE JOINT CONVENTION PLAN.

Since the nomination of Judge A. NJ.
jackson III the third district by one
convention, the plan of a joint state
convention Is being agitated by many
Populists and democrats of the state.
There haYe been substantial argu-
ments presented for and against the
proposition but If the press of the par
ties voices the sentiment Of the rank
OF that kind would create trouble
which might result seriously. There
are two great objections urged to the
plan. One is that IL would leave an
impression among the people which
could not easily be removed, that it is
an attempt on the part of one party to
absorb the other. The other is that
the democrats. having less than one
fourth of the voting strength of the Pop
ulists. are not entitled to as great a
representation as the Populists.
Those who favor the plan say that it
would avoid friction often the result of
two conventions, and better feeling
would exist among all the delegates If
all met together in one hail.
Our view Of it at this time is that it
would hardly be possible. Two parties
in one convention is aqueer proceeding
and could hardly be successful unless
they could agree on the same name.

In our opinion, the less
said about a joint state con-
vention at Fort Scott, the
better. The gentlemen who
have proposed it undoubted-
ly mean well, but we cannot
commend their judgment IN
this matter. If the sugges.
ton carried it would be
equivalent to putting the
state on a platter and pre-.
senting it to the republicans:
it will not carry, however.
and we can get much comfort
out of contemplating this
fact.-The Bayonet.

The kind of harmony the redeemers
are enjoying now is of the cut and
slash order. In the state the bosses
are Carving everything before them.
Here IN Barber county the Big 4 have
brushed aside all authority but their

a republican layman offering weak
protest to gag rule they start a report
that he is trying to disorganize the par
ty. The harmony racket don't work
