STOCK RA|SERS
PATIENTLY
WAITING

Groton, Dec. 20.-Owing to the
quarantine on Vermont cattle be-
cause Of the foot and mouth disease,
there is q large number of cattle,
sheep and hogs on the line OF the
Montpelier g. Wells River railroad
ready for the market, and stock
raisers are patiently waiting for Q
change in the situation. Relief In q
degree will be afforded next week
when l. o. Kicker, the we'll known
local buyer, Twill commence the slaugh-
ter OF stock ON small scale here. 1t
is SIX weeks since Mr.. Kicker has
shipped carload of cattle from this
line, ana be said this morning that he
knew Of four hundred hogs In this
section alone that were ready for
market, and In all more than ten car
loads OF stock is awaiting q buyer.
The situation Is hard on the 4far-
mers, who have the raising and SELL
ing OF stock reduced to system, and
as the local market can't afford relief,
the surplus cattle and hogs are becom'
ing burdensome. II the quarantine
continues, the business of slaughter
ing cattle for the market may become
general in this section.
w. A. Kicker of St. Johnsbury who
is the largest dealer In Vermont, Ii
considering the erection of a large
, plant at that place, and II the plan Il
carried out as now seems likely, pract
icaily all the cattle sold in Northeast

today. Heretofore, cattle buying ha
been carried on under difficulties q
that station, As there swere no scale

AN ANALYSTS OF LONGS SPEECH.

Great Bend, Kans Oct. q, 1902.
EDITOR DEMoCRAT:-I beg leave
to present to the voters of Barton
county brief review and criticism of
Mr.. Longs speech in the opera house
last evening, from the viewpoint of
a wheat grower and residentof Barton
county for twenty-six years.
His effort TO identify himself with
the administration, and to construe 3
vote for or against himself to be one
for or against Roosevelt, leads one to
believe that be is a member of the
national republican machine whe are
banded together to retain the Offices
and protect organized wealth in its
raids on the public for share of the
plumber.
He defends the protective tariff,
trusts and Imperialism, all of which
are in the interests of the manufac-
turers, spectators, capitalists. syndi-
Gates aud trusts of the east, and
against the interests of wheat growers
IF the 7th district of Kansas.
Why not send man to congress
who will represent our interests in
stead of the interests of the trusts,
born in Nav Jersey? The financial
interests of the 7th congressional dis
frict are identical with that OF the
wheat grower.
AS we cannot organizs into trust
and compel the home consumer to
pay us more for our wheat than it is
worth abroad but are compelled to
cell on free trade market, We should
vote for party that would repeal all
the tariff laws and allow US to buy
our goods on free trade market.
These unjust and discriminating laws
have made, and are making, multi.
millionaires IN the East at our ex-
pense Mr. Long tried to make US
believe We are prosperous and getting
our share of the wealth produced,
but statistics contradict him. Out of
the four thousand multimillionaires
in the United States there is not one
in the great 9TH district, and only
nine in Kansas while little New
Jersey, only about one tenth as large
as Kansas, has 1872 multimillionaires
Table showing number of multi
in a few eastern states
with size of state compared with size
of Kansas:
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1902-10-31

tiere Is ii group OF nine states com.
prising only one tenth of the area of
the United States, yet they contain
more than fve-eighIs of the multi
millionaire. These are the states that
dictate the laws and policies of the
Union. These are the states Mr..
Long works for and votes fer in con-
gress. These ara the states he wants
to 60 to the senate from Kansas to
aid for ak years longer. Do you
want to send him there to help make
a few thousand multimillionairs more
in those states? Or, do you want to
send man there who will work for
the interests of the people of Barton
county, and give US our share of the
wealth of the nation through favor
able laws to US. or the repeal of dis
eliminating laws against US.
Mr.. Long says there is no tariff on
coal. yet the Dingiey tariff law says
there is tariff of 81 cents ton on
coal. This is almost enough 30 pay
for the labor of mining and loading it
on the cars at the mines. Mr.. Long
says the Sherman anti trust law drove
the trusts out or destroyed them.
The records show that within less than
three years 81 trusts we're organized
with a capitalization OF each ranging
from 10 to 1889 millions of dollars,
or total capitalization of 81 ,318, 005,>
646
The records show there are now
E237 industrial trusts with . total
capitalization of Sc, 932, 448, $40. 70
per cent of these 237 trusts, and 81
per cent of their capitalization, are
protected by the Dingley tariff law
that Mr.. Long says he helped to make.
There are over 4 900 corporations de-
scribed in "Moody's Manual of Cor
poration Securities" It would Just
be as reasonable to expect the repub
lican officials 10 enforce the Sherman
antI>trust law, as to expect drunk
ard to enforce the Prohibition Law In
Kansas.

There Is what you haze voted for
every time you voted the Republican
ticket
There IS what you will vote for If
yen vote il agsin. No wonder multi.
millionaires are multiplying so rapid
u in the manufacturing states At the
expense of the farming states. when
we will persist in sending Representa-
tives to congress to work in the inter
ests of those states against our own.
Mr. Long tried to pull the wool over
the voters eyes by telling them the
democrats in Congress voted against
q resolution to amend the Constitu-
ton by giving all power oyer trusts
to congress.
Sec. 2. of the proposed amendment
reads: Congress shall have power
to define, regulate, control, prohibit,
or Dissolve trusts. monopolies or COM
binations, whether existing in the
form of corporation or otherwise.
The several states may continue to
exercise such power in any manner
not in conflict with the laws of the
United States THE amendment lie
favored by the trusts. They wish
to concentrate political, as they are
doing financial power in the hands of
the fewest possible mum bers. They
could then make every labor organi-
cation an outlaw and. legalizing their
own combinations could prohibit the
individual states from molesting them
Mr.. Mccall, a republican member
from Mass, voted against the resolu-
ton and here are some of his reasons
for doing so:
81 intend to vote against the pro-
posed amendment to the constitution.
Let us not deceive ourselves about
this proposition. This amendment
is not simply aimed at trusts and
monopelies x X x it confers upon con-
gress power to strike most deadly
blow at individual liberty X x X it in
wolves the control of the labor organs
zstions of the country x **. And
what will be the effect, if We concen-
trate upon one body of men the con
troll of more than one-third of the
ca ital of the world, and all these
other tremendous influences? Is there
gentleman on this foer who does
not believe in his heart that if this
power is conferred on congress, the
most corrupt and rottenest place in
the universe will be found right here
in the city of Washington"
Perhaps these were the same rea-
sops why Mr.. Long and the rest Of
the republicans voted for - He gays
he will do SO again if ne has the
chance. We should see to it that be
don't have the chance.

The CONSTRUCTION of the Monogram

The construction of the Monogram
heating stove js unquestionably the
best. The parts that come in contact
with intense heat are of the finest
grade of Grey iron, ribbed both inside
and out. The doors and ash pit are
carefully fitted, using only automatic
latches. The decorations are rich and
tasteful; polished steel bodies of 16
guage steel, secured and protected in
an important manner. These stoves
stand on their merits and challenge

Roads Made Of Gold.

The people of the two counties
south Of Lacrosse, Wis, especially
near Prairie du Chen, have been for
years using gold-bearing quartz for
road making and house building,
thinking it was common stone. The
hnding of heavy, paying vein Of gold
on farm Of Mrs. N. S. Dousman set
them right. BY following up the vein
1t was traced for many miles around
touching, in some places, quarries
where rock has been taken for years.
Lightning striking in the same rlace
during successive storms led Miss
Violet Dousman to think that metal
In some form existed there. Her in
vestigations led to the discovery OF
the gold.
