preparing for anything that may occur
through the alliance of France and

Counterfeits are plentiful of the $2
silver certificate. It is said the work
on the counterfeit is as good as on the

It is reported that France and Russia
have formed a close alliance, and all of
Europe is in a tremble. It will mean
nothing good for 1'russia.
The police of Topeka have just dis

We understand that Jerry Simpson is

Over one hundred deatns per day

The new alliance senator, Kyle, is a

a political revivalist.
The Cresset reads the Wichita Eagle
and the Chicago Tribune out of the re
publican party. When these two papers
hear of the calamity that has befallen
them won't they be sorry.
It looks as if the alliance is about to
capture two more United States sena
tors. Mississippi elects a legislature
this fall, and it will be controlled by
the alliance. Two senators will be
I'lested by that body.
The murderer of Captain Couch was
tried at Wichita, found guilty, sen
tenced to death, and will be hanged.
The murder was done in Oklahoma.
H it had been done in Kansas there
would have been no hanging. It is no
great sin to kill a man in Kansas. "
The democrats in the Michigan sen
ate expelled two republicans, and seat
fd two democrats, and republicans ev
erywhere are howling. Why didn't
the republicans patent this process of
increasing their power? The democrats
are only following illustrious preced
ents. There is some inclinaton on the part of
our republican friends to boom the Mc
Kinley bill for removing the tariff from
fuigai. It would be well for them to
study two points well, before the boom
goes too far: First, how much benefit
I he consumer will get; second, why was
it not removed ten years ago?
The Leavenworth Standard describes
the Topeka Capital as the only repub
lican paper in Kansas. The Capital
then racks its brain to name a lot of
republican papers, and names nine,
and says there are a dozen more. This
only makes twenty-two. It is possible
that the Capital admits that there are
only twenty-two loyal republican pa
pers in the state? The Cresset, Kiowa
Journal and Harper Graphic are not in
the list.
George W. Bell, of Washington, says:
"Proteciion is the foul mother of every
monopoly Qt America that to-day
reaches out from the industrial centers
the lean hand of avarice and clutches
the dimple from the miner's babe; the
bloom from the maiden's cheekj the
coffee from the weary mother's cup; the
steak from the workingman's plate; the
coat from his back, and the patriotism
f ruin his heart, and plants the bomb in
every tenement. It has planted un-re-publiean
ideas in the free soil of Amer
ica which, unless destroyed will mur
der liberty."
The study of history is all nonsense
when it is possible for a man to wipe it
out or change it by a wave of the hand
'The Wichita Eagle thus knocks ancient
history into a cocked hat: The down
fall of every great nationality is trace
able to the extremes of women who had
cotten outside of their spheres. All
the blood of the dread French commune
im .it the door of woman. Russian
nihilism and French socialism of to-day
would die out but for the women who
feed the fires. If the present Alliance
ever brinj? trouble to this country and
its homes, it will le through its female
elemeut.
Our government is- trying to bluff
Germany into buying American pork
aud threatens to exclude German sugar
unless Germany will eat our hog. This
reminds us that our tariff legislation
has driven our merchant marine from
the high seas, and we are subsidizing
foreign vessels; it has destroyed some
of our best foreign markets, and
is
forcing us to act the bully in threaten
Ingour neighbors. Suppose Germany
won't have our porkj is that any good
reason why we should rob ourselves of
the advantage of using German sugar
Two years more of Harrison, IJlaine
and the Fifty-first congress would have
bankrupted the United States. Our
only hope pf relief is in the D$wcon
cress. Knock the tariff bill into smith
ereeus, and our trade relations will
adjust themselves. The republicans
know this as well as anybody, but they
will not admit it, for tha moment they
.do so it proves them guilty .of hypocrisy
xnil deception for the past four years
MR. 1 NO ALLS AND THE REPUB
LICAN PARTY OF KANSAS.
Topeka Ca pi tal.l
"Recently ex-Senator Installs offered
some sentiments upon public affairs to
the press of Boston that were received
with surprise among Kansas republi
cans. Within a few days he gives the
reporters at Baltimore the following:
Tli Is movement la bunding greater than the
majority of the people In the eastern slope are
willing to admit. It presents one of the most
Interesting political problems of the age.
Here, in the east, where Industries and em
ployments are diversified. Its progress is not
appreciated and the strength it is gaining Is
not understood. In the west, a purely agri
cultural section, it has taken a deep bold on
the public mind and the evolution of the move
ment Is closely watched by our deepest think
ers and politioal economists. These farmers
have concluded that there are wrongs ezis ting
that need adjustment. The growth of the or
ganization is not etherial or spontaneous, but
has come with a strong under-current of rea
son that will ultimately land It on a solid foun
dation which will dety all the efforts of politi
cal agitators to shake.
"Of course the blatant demagogues, whose
claims are unreasonable and untenable, will
not be the ones to carry this movement to the
success I look for It to reach. You will flod.
however, that with the force behind it and
with even partial success these agitators will
be forced to give way to the more conservative
element, and the leadership will be assumed
by men impelled alone by philanthropic or
patriotic feelings, and whose counsel can safe
ly be followed with the assurance that it will
lead to tangible results. The adjustment of
the tariff, the expansion of the circulating
medium and other measures, the absence of
which thinking farmers believe underlie the
stagnation that now afflicts them, will be advo
cated by tha best minds in the movement in
such a way as to carry with them strong popu
lar feeling.
"I think it may be compared to the feeling
of republicanism which swept over the
country from IH5S to 1800. This result might be
more quickly reached could the west and south
And common ground on which to stand. The
east and north have recognized this all along
and have very adroitly prevented any coali
tion. They know that in the south anything
that endangers local government by the white
clement will be resisted, and that every other
Interest will be sacrificed to that end. They
huve managed to strengthen this feeling by i
an occasional menace. In the west sectional
feeling has been resorted to with varying suc
cess until this year, when it signally failed.
Such plays on the passions and interests of
the sections have about reached their limit.
The sections are becoming apathetic alike to
appeals and menaces, and when the one dies
out and the other is allayed we may look for a
coalition that will produce tangible results. The
existing political parties, however, may, by
thoir platforms and candidates nominated,
make such concessions to the alliance as to
cause the members to return to their respec
tive folds with the belief that evils they seek
to redress will be reformed in their house
holds." It would be interesting to the repub
licans of Kansas to know the causes
which have led to the extraordinary
change of sentiment in ex-benator In
galls' mind upon the alliance party. In
the campaign that closed in November
with an overwhelming defeat of the re
publican party in Kansas, the issue in
the alliance party that overshadowed
every other was the defeat of Senator
Ingalls. It filled every alliance paper,
was the subject of three-fourths of
their cartoons and the main topic of all
the reform orators. The extraordinary
hostility and bitterness against Senator
Ingalls made him the main issue in the
alliance and democratic parties. The
defense of Senator Ingalls became the
labor of republican papers and speak
ers. He was the leader, indorsed by
the republican party for re-election,
and no man eyer received from the par
ty a more loyal and generous support
throughout the campaign, and when
the returns of the election indicated
his defeat beyond a doubt, there was a
chivalric defense of his lost cause that
should have made him foreyer grateful
Lvery thinking republican who had
closely studied the contest knew abso
lutely that Ir. Ingalls was defeated in
November. Instead of adding strength
to the ticket Mr. Ingalls had been the
load that carried it down to defeat.
There was a well grounded belief at
inac time mat tne selection or some
representative republican would, carry
the party to success in the senatorial
contest. Many representatives had
been instructed against Senator Ingalls
who would have voted for some other
epublican. All this was understood
and fully discussed by the republicans
of Kansas. Here was the senior sen a
tor, the presiding officer Of the United
States senate, after a service of eigh
teen years defeated at the polls. He
should have had the courage to say to
his party then: I have been defeated,
select some other candidate.' Instead
of that he demanded the continued
support of his party to save him the
personal humiliation of having some
other republican elected. Here was
seen a magnanimity and a chivalric re
gard for the personal pride of a man
who had long been honored by his
state that we fear the senator has nev
er appreciated, or has too soon forgot
ten, lie could go down with his party
to defeat without dishonor, but to have
had another republican selected as a
senatorial candidate, a course that
ought to have been pursued, would
have placed him In the attitude of a
man defeated within his own party
Vll this was fully appreciated, b;jt the
leaders of the republican party stood
loyally by Senator Ingalls and went
down with him to certain defeat. Men
recognized Senator Ingalls as the
choice of the republicans of Kansas,
and, like the editor of the Capital, gave
him earnest, honest support against
their political judgment. This is
part of the history of the senatorial
campaign.
No tongue was more bitter In its ridi
cule nor so sarcastic in its denuncia
tion of the principles advocated by the
alliance as was Senator Ingalls'. No
speaker in the senate, no writer in the
press, has been more filled with section
al bitterness and hate than Senator In
jails. Then, why this tirade . against
sectionalism from him in the Boston in
terview; why this lobjojly nonsense
about the principles of the alliance
party, and the inferred rebuke Of the
old parties concerning the reforms that
ought to have been espoused by them?
It comes with exceedingly bad grace
from a senator of eighteen years ser
vice, who has done so little to bring
these reforms about. These views of
Mr. Ingalls are a matter of astonish
mentto the republicans of Kansas.
What these double political somersaults
are made for is matter of speculation
Whatever they are, the promptings of
ambition for a presidential place on the
alliance ticket, or merely the vaporings
of a disappointed man over his political
defeat, they display in either case
cold-blooded disregard for the party
that made him great, and inconsistency
that his usual explanation will not
make satisf actory to Kansas republi
cans."
TALK ABOUT INGALLS.
Topeka Cor. Kansas City Times.
At the Cooeland lobby last evi nine
there was a little circle in which v. err
Senator Chester I. Long, Senator John
son, the newly appointed bank examin
er, J. II. Reeder, of Ellis county, one
of the republican leaders in the house,
aud Captain JohaH. Smith, secretary
or trie republican state central commit
tee. Secretary of state William Hig-
gins also formed one of the party. They
discussed the people's party manifesto,
tne proposed republican manifesto.
Senator Ingalls and the republican
party in Kansas in general.
T be consensus of opinion in that little
crowd seemed to be that the effort of
Speaker P. P. Elder and his committee
in making political capital out of the
work of the legislature was a down
right failure. They laughed and made
light of it in such a way as to indicate
that they believed the whole thing a
huge joke.
"It is almost too easy to be true,"
said Secretary Smith. "All we need to
do now is to make a plain record of the
session. That is all the political earn-
tal the republicans want."
"If the committee that gets up our
manifesto even so much as mentions
either party it ooght to be'discharged
and a new one appointed in its place.
We want nothing but the unadorned
records," added Jim Reeder. "That's
all," put in Senator Long, "we can do
all the lying that is necessary on the
outside."
Senator Johnson never does talk
much, but he was discoursing lightly
pon the exceeding unsubstantial char
acter Of the new oartv'a r.imnaitm
thunder, and remarking what a snap
the republican committee had to meet
it, when a bystander, who had no busi
ness whatever to say a word, remarked:
Its lucky for you fellows that you have
got a committee to get up your mani
festo, as you call it, for if this flopping
continues for the next two weeks as
fast as it has been going on for the last
two there won't be enough left of the
republican party in Kansas to consti
tute a committee."
"What do you mean?" asked Captain
Smith.
"Mean?" replied the outsider. "I
mean that Ingalls and Anthony and
Ralph Easley and the Atchison Cham
pion and any number of other fellows
who have heretofore been the main
stay of your party have jumped the
traces and gone into the alliance with a
rush."
"O, Ingalls has not hurt us any," said
the ever confident captain, "he's just
just played the traitor and traitors do
not have any following when they leave
their friends and go over to their ene
mies. Why, he could hardly wait until
be got out of town to get down and
crawl before the very fellows who had
whipped him. He won't do the alliance
any good, you can bet on that."
"John, you don't know what you are
takingabout,"chihaedin Jim Reeder.
'You live out here among the aristo
crats and don't know what is going on
among the people. I say that Ingalls'
interviews have cost the republican par
ty 15,000 votes in Kansas. I have been
among 'em and know whereof 1 speak.
Its not the men who stood by Ingalls
and worked for him but the fellows
who have been looking for an excuse to
jump, and find in his utterances just
what they have been seeking. The re
sult will be that every broken down
office hunter and back number politi
cian in the state will join the citizens'
alliance and their votes count if their
influence don't. I would have joined it
myself but I couldn't. When my ap
plication went in there were not
enough black balls to go 'round. In
galls is an ingrate if there ever was
one. If he'd been half a man he would
not have insisted on th party defeat
ing itself to stand by his personal ambi
tion. When we knew there was no
show for him we stood up and fought
for him outof friendship, and this is all
the thanks we get."
"We could not expect anything else
from Ingalls," spoke up Bill Higgins.
He always was a kicker except when
he had things his own way. Thirty
years ago he was with the same crowd
he's gene with now and that's where
he belongs. A flopper once a flopper
always."
"He licked the hand that smote him,"
quoted Chester I. Long, "and we all
know what kind of an animal it is that
does that."
"Well, it's an ungrateful return for
our hard, up hill fight, anyway," said
the new bank examiner.
The outsider bad stirred up the ani
mals, and he listened quietly while they
gave vent to their pent up feelings. It
was not his fight, but he seemed to en
joy it, and as his thrust had brought
forth a cry from each of the quintette
of politicians, he thought he would try
again and remarked:
"This may be a desertion on the part
of Ingalls and the others, but I look at
it differently. Ingalls is too smart to
go into the alliance outright. He will
simply talk semi-alliance doctrine and
gather about him what brains there
are in the republican party, cut loose
from the radicals and reorganize it on
an entirely new basis. J beleive it
means a new organisation for Kansas,
one that will be in a position to fight
the alliance with its own weapons."
No one replied to this. Good na-
tured John Smith looked at the quiet
looking outsider inquiringly, then from
one to another of the boys who h.ac) so
freely expressed their opinion of the
ex-senator who had proven such an iri
descent dream to them. When he spoke
it was almost In a stage whisper. He
said: "There is just a little ot that
applejack left."
Whatever that meant all seemed to
understand it for they rose as one man
filed silently to the elevator and were
taken to one of the upper floors. The
outsider did not understand Captain
John's remark to have any personal
reference to himself and he took a seat
in front of the big grate and indulged
in quiet revery.
SUO AR BOUNTY LICENSE. 1

TIME FOR BACKBONE.
Abilene Reflector: -'Republican victory in
18931b the talk all along the line. What of
1891? There will be elections all over the state
of Kansas la seven months. Shall the union
laborite crowd be allowed to capture all that's
In sight? The time for republican victory is
right now."
Eagle: "Correct. The only way for an
army to win in the big battles is to keep up Its
dicipltne. This is not the year for republicans
to play the mugwump act in Kansas. From
now on till November, 1893, every republican
should be a fighting republican. No compro
mises, no mugwump namby-pambyism, no
voting for men who didn't vote for republi
cans last November. Loyalty is what the re
publican party demands this year of ewry
man who calls himself a republican."
Now is also a good time for the alli
ance to get ready to break the afore
said backbone next November.
THE SUB-TREASURY PL,AN.
It Kelleyes the Farmer from Bondage to
the Power of Money to Oppress.
The sub-treasury proposition is the
plainest, fairest and most equitable
financial plan ever devised by man. Al
hpugh it is but ljtrle discussed through
(he partisan press, yet there is positive
ly no objectionable feature, and people
cannot but indorse it when it is once
understood. The proposition is this:
For the government to build ware
houses for the storage of the great
staple agricultural products, wheat,
oats, corn, cotton and tobacco, and - ad
vance the owners thereof certificates to
th amount of 80 per cent, of the mar
ket value of said products at the time
of storage, such certificates to be used
as money to be full legal tender for all
flebts. The benefit arising from this
plan, ' should it ever be embodied in
law, would be manifold, principally in
creasing the volume of money right at
the time when the crops are thrown
upon the market and money is required
to, transact business and make e?
phanges, ft is a recognized principle of
financial economy that the volume of
money always determines prices, all
other things being equally balanced.
Prices may be affected in e ways.

second, by an increase or decrease af
populatioUj the money value remaining
h same; or, third, by an increase or
decrease of business, securing a greater
er less volume of money. This is plain,
andean be Illustrated thus:
Divttor. IXridend, Quotient.
Products,
Population, Money volume. Price.
Business,
It is only a question . of arithmetic,
and any one ought to be able to under
stand it This being the case, it is
easily to be 6een that when, millions of
dollars' worth oi farm products are
thrown upon the market, it reqnires an
Increase in the volume of money suffi
cient to keep pace with the increased
demand of business, and of course if
the volume of money remains the same,
the Increased demand for money will
not only lower the price o the agri?
cultural products, but the price of every
article of commerce; hence- you will
notice factories close and business sus
pend as the winter season approaches
working men are thrown out of employ
ment and general stagnation follows.
So It can readily be seen that if the"1
money volume could be increased
at the time when the business demands
more money, that prices would remain
stationary; commerce and manufacture
would move right along without a rip
ple; working men would have continued,
employment, arid theye would be aq
closing np of iaetories'until the'yolume
of business again adjusts itself to the

can proceed, upon tne same footing as
before.
Another benefit arising from this plan
is this: Farmers would not be com
pelled to sacrifice their property in or
der to meet their interest, taxes, grocery
bills or any other incidental expenses,
but could meet these obligations with
money borrowed from the government,
and they would be enabled to hold their
crops until the best prices would suggest
that it was time to sell and at the same
time the interest arising from this
method which accrues to the govern
ment would take the place of taxes and
would enable us to do away with part,
at least, of our heavy revenue tax, and
in place of its being paid to private in
dividuals it would be paid unto our
selves, thus taking from usury its power
to rob. But while there are many ben
efits arising from this plan yet men will
raise frivolous objections of one kind
or another, but notice tie principal - ob
jection comes from the manipulators of
a subsidized presn. They say that it is
class legislation. 'When were those fel
lows brought to look with such a degree
of horror upon class legislation? They
become very much opposed to it all at
once. Poor fellows! They want to see
the government conducted upon princi
ples of exact justice to all and special
privileges to none. And yet those fel
lows that cry class legislation the loud
est are those that are continually voting
bonds and subsidies and believe in
maintaining the national banking sys
tem. Now to a dispassionate observer
it is impossible to see wherein any class
will be benefited more than another,
for when the crops are thrown upon the
market there is a numeral decline of
prices, whereas, if the money ,volume
was increased at that particular season,
prices would remain stationary and in
this particular it would affect every
nook and corner of the country alike.
As far as the individual owner of the
product is concerned, he had as well
or better borrow money from the gov
ernment than from the banks, and In
dividually he receives little more bene
fit from the transaction than if he had
issued his own note. But the great
benefit accrues to the .whole country,
from the fact that it causes the money
volume to keep pace with the increased
business.
Again, it is said to be unconstitution
al Now money lenders have great love
for the constitution all at once. How
long has it been so? Those who say
the sub-treasury plan is not in accord
ance with our fundamental law are the,
same fellows who had sliver unconsti
tutionally demonetized in 1873. Consti
tutions don't stand in the way when
the appetite of the money monger is to
be gratified, but they can set up a dis
mal howl if the people demand legisla
tion in their favor. But much as "may
be said tq the contrary the constitution
is intended to promote the welfare of
the people and any measure J'Ving to
enJ is certain; according to the
snirit ttTeof .Excelsior Springs (Mo.)
Alliance Defender.
There is one fact that the old par
ties shqud notice and take warning,
for it indicates the general trend of
public opinion. The alliance, the
knights of labor, the industrial union,
the patrons of industry and all other
labor organizations unite in demanding
bimetal ism and five coinage. All want
more money. Altogether, it must be
admitted, they make a formidable ar
ray and present no mean political force,

Sand creek at that place is never past fording,

that Is about all there is at the Sand creek

raise the same cry they were so biiter in denouncing-.
Indeed, consistency, thou art a
jewel to the republican party. Labor created
capital, and we don't want to drive out of the
state that which we have labored so haid to
achieve, but after we have made It we want
it to bear its part of taxation. It is enough
for the creature to be equal to the creator, and
never greater. So if capital can't bear its share
of taxation let it go. for we helped to create it
and we demand canal rights with it, and if
there is any preference labor should have It.
This is all the alliance demands, and to this end
we will labor until we have planted our colors
in every state in this union, "equal rights to
all, special privileges to none."
