is added. Year by year new methods OF
robbing the people are devised by the
railroads. Year by year their power and
influence is becoming greater by dis
ordinations and use Of legislation and
judicial power. The interstate conf
merce commission admits its absolute
inability to in any way control them.
There is no state law in Kansas at all
now, and those in the past have been of
very little force.
Either because cattle could be driven
b market or because the cattle men Of
the state are organized and have fought
for their rights, or both, they are now
getting a rate which in proportion to
value of product, risk involved and cost
to the railroad companies of shipping, is
less than one-third as great in proper
ton than the rate on wheat. Would it
not be possible fer the wheat raisers of
the state, but especially of this section
of the state where it Is the main bust
ness, to organize and secure a measure
of Justice as the cattle men have. 1t
means hundreds of thousands of dollars

We know of no stronger combination
nor one that, under present conditions,
would appeal more potently to patriotic
sentiment than that which Is embodied
in the association Of Jeffersenian Demo-
crat with Lincoln Republican upon
presidential ticket. Bryan Is the highest
type of the former while Towne Is a
true representative Of the latter. To
cap the climax and crown the combina-
ton with completeness, their Populist
constituency Is composite union Of
both Jefersonian Democracy and Abra-
ham Lincoln Republicanisn. With two
men of such giant mold, such lofty
ideals, and of unsullied character to lead
us, we need not go into the coming con-
flict with any degree Of fear. With
Bryan and Towne as standard bearers,
standing upon platform, consecrated to
the people, the Declaration of Independ-
ence, the constitution and the flag, our
campaign becomes an inspiration. The
Peoples party in convention assembled
at Sioux Falls has given to their fellow
citizens a ticket Of and for the people

Bryan and TOwne.

The Sioux Falls convention of the
National Peoples party met last week
and placed a strong ticket upon most
admirable platform. The party has
taken no backward step either in the
personnel of the ticket nominated or in
the declaration of principles adopted as
its platform. Those who expected and
hoped to see a disorganized and warning
convention have been disappointed.
There is no reason to believe that the
ticket nominated is not in the highest
degree satisfactory to the people Of this
country who believe in government of,
for and by the people. Mr.. Bryan is the
ideal candidate of the Democratic party
and his election is desired above all
things.
To compass this result every available
vote must be secured. With Mr.. Towne
as his running mate, the full Populist
strength, as well as the free silver Re
publican vote is assured. The Demo-
Gratis must expect to concede something
to their faithful allies in the way of
recognition. In this year of our pol1t-
ical history when the people are yearn-
IN : for a fuller measure of participation
in the government of themselves, strict
partisanship and machine methods must
be relocated to the rear. The demands
of today require that political affairs be
conducted upon higher plane, than is
comprehended in a mere effort to elevate
patronage dispensing machines into place
and power. The main question is to get
what we want no matter through whom
soever it may come.

IS THERE A REMEDY?
Az Imposition Upon Sumner County Wheat
Raisers,

The grain buyers of Wellington have
been unjustly criticised for belonging to
a grain buyers association and for the
fact which is practically true that no one
not a member can buy or ship grain.
For this condition the railroads are alone
responsible, and because Of it Sumner
county farmers will receive many thous-
ands of dollars less for their wheat this
fall than they otherwise would and
should receive. Practically all of the
wheat going from this territory over the
Santa Fe, to whatever point, is controlled
by Hall & Robinson. The Rock Island
has one firm for the control of its
business and so with the other roads. A
farmer who wishes to ship his wheat or
dealer not in the association finds it
impossible to get cars and prices, and is
practically shut out. The arrangement
is ironclad and the sole benefciaries
are the railroads and those high in rail-
road circles who control the business of
their respective roads. The only answer
to complaint is: "What are you going
to do about it," Grain buyers very soon
learn what is necessary to do business
and submit to conditions over which
they haye no control any more than the
farmer who raises the wheat.
is ordinarily supposed that anyone
who has car or more Of grain to ship
may, by giving notice, have a car set ont
which he will fill and send to any grain
buyer in Kansas City or elsewhere as he
may desire, there receiving the market
price for that day. This is as it should
be, but 70 such condition exists. By
delay in furnishing cars and by lower
prices at its destination the independent
shipper very soon finds his profits aud
his business gone. The business must
go through the regulated channels in
order that sufficient be levied upon those
who raise the wheat. The rates on
grain are fully double on each car of
what the charge is on cattle, and the
cattle rate is too high. But this is not
sufficient. This special arrangement for
added profits to the favored dealers who
re doubtless high mp in railroad circles
