Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1900-01-05

THE Republican party of Abraham Lincoln
gave this country the greenGacks, and many
time have you heard Republican orators pro-
claim it "tne best money the world ever saw"
while the copperheads denounced it as elm
coins rag money" You remember it well,
don't you? But how things have changed!
To-day, Mark Hanna Republicans and Grover
Cleveland Democrats are engaged IN fastening
upon us law that will wipe the greenbacks
out of existence, while Bryan Democrats and
Populists are defending and striving to save the
"Lincoln rags" Which side are you on?-

THE Rev. Wilson, of the Methodist church,
has been denied admission to the Centenary
Methodist building Of Terre Haute, unless he
would agree to adhere to the tenets of the church,
That seems fair enough, but the trouble lies in
the fact that Wilson is Christian socialist.
Wilson holds that our present competitive sys-
tenn is as Inconsistent with the teaching of Jesus
as to chattel slavery, and that ministers are in
duty bound to preach against the tyranny of
Mammon and Greed. "Everywhere," says
Wilson, "men showing sings of the life of
new Brotherhood" Wilson also predicts split
in that church over soeialistic questions. .--Ex.

BENEVOLENT ASST ILATl0N.

This is the commercial age. This is the age
of "benevolent assimilation" and this, too, is
supposed to be the age OF the gospel. Christian
England has shed rivers of blood in her schemes
of conquest, and not people under her rule IN
Asia, or Africa, but are worse off than when in
vaded by her hostile armies. We speak OF the
condition of the people as whole. There may
be fewer revolutions because resistance is crash

.nevolently assimilates the wealth. Rum, under
England, supplanted temperance. Under Eng
land, sexual immortality has vastly Increased.
Christianity makes no progress Every convert
in India has cost hundreds of dollars in outlay.
Conquered people do not take their religion from
conquerers.
