relatiretoa coaspiracy to overthrow
3vwr aad silver certificates, quoted ia
i editorial oadexthe tide, "The. Tail
of the Earopeam Gold Kite, ' the Wich
ita Eagle of September 26th says:
"The gold staadard advocates of Eu
rope are sapplemeatiog the endeavors
of their ilk in -the United States to
thwart bi-Btetallism here. They would
hare aa aad the balance of the world
believe that the silver policy now par
saedbythk government has already
brought about a condition that threat
ens a peak ia the near future. The
point to that declaration is that there
has been issued by this government, al
ready, too large a volume of certificates
representing silver, the effect of which
will be to shake public confidence in the
stability of money values. Prompted
aa thk scheme k by selfish interests,
instead of the public welfare, there is
aothiag surprising ia such a declaration,
bat it Will not cause many people in
thk eountrv to think that there is too
much-money ia circulation, or that its
value is ia the least impaired."
Aad yet the Eagle continues to sup
port the party which has always been
the enemy of silver, and which has, by
ita servility or worse, to the money
power, allowed that power to become
vast and menacing to the welfare of the
people.
The Eagle also supports the party
that champions higher tariffs in time of
profound peace than the boldest pro
tectionist ever dared to advocate when
war's awful necessities were demanding
instant or constant supplies; while the
Eagle is opposed to a high tariff. In
the name of consistency, whnt kind of
conduct is this?
Against no candidate on the People's
ticket are the combined attacks of the
opposition directed with more persist
ency than against our candidate for
sheriff. Conscious of his sterling worth
as a man and his qualifications for the
office for which he has been named, as
well as his popularity with the people,
his opponents are at their wit's end for
some method to defeat him. Among
other things, they are circulating the
report that he is a weak candidate, that
he has no strength at home, ia unpop
ular with his neighbors. Of course,
these things are told outside of Speare
ville township. If a man were to talk
that way in or around Speareville, he
would be told to eo soak his head or
get bored for the simples. Mr. Intel's
aeighbore, who Know him best, have
elected him to office year after year un
til he positively refused longer to hold
office. That is the way he k unpopu
lar at home. We warn our friends
throughout the county to pay no atten
tion to such tales. If it was true that
he is a weak man, it would not be nec
essary to make a fight on him and the
mere fact that a most bitter fight is be
ing waged against him proves, conclus
ively, that his opponents believe him
to be very strong. A better nomina
tion for that office could not have been
made by the People's party. He rep
resents, in all respects, the farmer. A
genuine farmer himself, he came to this
county about fourteen years ago and by
patient aad persistent industry and by
the labor of his own right arm and the
activity of his brain, coupled with so
briety and economy, has made for him
self and family a home where can be
found all the comforts and luxuries that
come as the reward of faithful toil.
Faithful to his friends, loyal to his par
ty, worthy in every respect, ho will be
triumphantly elected.
"BXrOCKS 9P FIVE."
The state central committee and the
republican league held an important
meeting in Topeka on the 18th day of
September. At this meeting they re
solved "to introduce the Indiana meth
od" ia the next election. This means
"Blocks of Five."
To those who do not understand the
msaakg of this, I will explain it.
The voters of Indiana were divided
kto sections containg 6 voters, one of
whom was chosen aa captain, and char
god, through all hk hopes of political
preferment to vote the whole "Block."
If he eoald vote them without payment
of atoaey he received the highest cred
it mark and first chance for office.
If he had to pay out money to secure
the votes, every vote purchased lessen
ed hk owa ehaaee to get boodle in of
fice. Bat, "vote the Block," was the edict,
"if it takes one thousand or ten thous
and dollars to accomplish it"
It k pertinent to ask the question,
Who furnishes the money to accomplish
this villainy? The answer is plain.
Corporations, trusts and syndicates,
banks, mortgage loan and railway cor
porations, whose interest it is to ride
the people into slavery.
Let the people, if they would secBre
their liberties, wake out of the Kip Van
Wukle sleep into which they plunged
25 years ago.
Cast off the devil Jishes that now
suck the vitality from the body politic.
Elect representatives take them from
among the wealth creators, the common
laboring men and seeure legislation to
protect themselves.

There were also present quite a num
ber of delegates from the Boards of
Trade of the various large cities.
Mr. Gallatin, of the National Bank
of New York, nude the principal speech
of the occasion, ia behalf of the banks
and against the bill, aad on behalf of the
Banks and Boards of Trade, he submit
ted to the representatives of the govern
ment the following proposition for rak
ing money the last clauses of the 5th
and Cth sections of which we call es
pecial attention to:
1. "A tax bill to rake, in the dif
ferent modes of taxation, $126,000,000,
over and above duties on imports.
2 Not to ksue any demand treas
ury notes, except those authorized at
the extra session in July last.
3. Issue $100, 000,000 notes at two
years, in sums of five dollars and up
wards to be receivable for public dues
to the government, except duties on
imports.
1. A suspension of the sub-treasury
act, so as to allow the banks to become
depositories of the government of all
loans, and to check on the banks, from
time to time, as the government may
want money.
5. Issue six per cent, twenty year
bonds, to be negotiated by the secreta
ry of the treasury, and without any lim
itation as to the price he may claim for
them in the market
C. That the secretary of the treas
ury be empowered to make temporary
loans to the extent of any portion of
the funded stock authorized by Con
gress, with power to hypothecate such
stock, and if such loans arc not made
at maturity, to sell the stock hypothe
cated for the best price that can be ob
tained." In other words, if the government
would put its bonds upon the market
and sell them at the highest market
prices permitting the bankers to fix
market prices at what they saw fit; or if
the government would hypothecate the
bonds, giving the holders a chance to
sell them to the highest bidder they
themselves being practically the only
bidders they would help the govern
ment carry on the war!
(To be continued.)
THE TATTj OF THE EURO
PEAK GOIiD KITE.
It is a singular fact that parties may
come (witness the democratic triumph
in 1884,) and parties may go (witness
ita defeat in 1888,) but the bankert'
rule goes on forever. With the bold
and, we might say, half-defiant attitude
of the republican party on the tarriff
question, toward Europe in general and
England in particular, we might expect
said party to exhibit some spirit of in
dependence in regard to the 'money
question. But no, the whole matter is
left to itxe dictation of bankers here and
bankers in Europe. Many of the great
banks,of America are but American
agents of European banking houses.
Let Baring Brothers of London get in
to trouble over the big boom they start
ed and tried to carry through success
fully in Argentine Bepublic, and the
whole financial system of America
trembles, as St. Louk trembled the oth
er night from earth's quaking. It is
pretty much as Senator Vest of Mis
souri, a free-silver democrat, expresses
it the United States makes a very ser
viceable tail for the 'European gold
kite." The people of the west and
south, the Alliance and the great Peo
ple's party, demand that the money
question be put in front of all other
questions, where it belongs; that the
inconsistent attitude of our government
be changed; that we become' emancipat
ed as a nation from the thralldom of
the "Money Kings" of Europe and
America and that independence be made
to mean something from this time for
ward. Bead the following, you who
think the foregoing remarks are un
founded. Bead how the bankers are
planning to "force a silver crisis."
And what are the old parties doing to
avert it? Ask Cleveland; interrogate
Harrison; inquire of John Sherman?
London, Sept 24. The reporter of
the Asaockted Press has had an inter
view with the Rothschilds, Speyers,
Lazard Bros, aad other bankers, and
they all agreed in their statements that
further shipments of gold are going to
America. The chief clerk of the
Rothschilds' house said that it was un
certain whether France would make the
bulk of the gold exports or whether the
burden would fall on England. But
considering the fact that France has a
worst harvest than England it would
seem that she should send the balk of
the gold. The Bank of France may,
however, as on former occasions ob
struct the imports by raising the prem
ium on fall-weight eoin. The Bank of
England k certain to raise the rate of
discount, bat, according to the chief
clerk, more gold will go to America in
spite of the efforts to prevent it
In an interview with Mr. Robert Gif
fen, head of the commercial department
and comptroller of com returns of the
British board of trade, he was asked
what truth there was in the calculation
that England and the continent would
be forced to part with gold amounting
to 4600,000,000 to pay for imports of
American grain. Mr. Giffen ridiculed
the estimate. Ha said before 10,000,
000 ia bullion was sent to America both
the Bank of England and the Bank of
France would raise the rates of discount
aad check the draft
According to Mr. GiffeaMt balnea,
but securities aad exports" vnll go to
Aaaeriea to pay for grak. Uadeabted
ly, he said, there would be a heavy
drain of gold for several months to
come, but the payments for grain were
not the sole cause of such drain. An
important factor of the financial situa
tion was the silver question. Stable
American hruses were making prepar
ations to force a silver crisis, which k
now inevitable, by making gold par
chases ia Europe.
Whea asked if such a crisis was in
evitable, Mr. Giffen replied: "la my
opinion it is impossible to avert it
The United States has become overload
ed with paper currency. The ksue of
the silver certificates to the amount of
12,000,000 sterling annually was a
gross legislative mistake and is bound
to bring a crash speedily."
In response to an inquiry as to how
soon the crash he predicted could be
looked for, Mr. Giffen said: "Februa
ry will probably realize the worst of the
position. I do not see how grave
trouble can be averted by remedial leg
islation. There is hardly time to avert
it, even if the parties in congress could
agree upon the means.
A GOOD MEETING.
Insufficient notice of the meeting,
and a very dissagreeable evening mado
the attendance at the rink Wednesday
evening smaller than it would other
wise have been by half; but it was a
fair crowd, and a good meeting.
District lecturer, B. E. Kclse, of
Wichita, the bright and able editor of
the Kansas Commoner, was the first
speaker,
He said the alliance is non-partisan
but riot non-political. Its members
may be democrats or republicans,
but they are studying economic ques
tions diligently, and with reference to
bettering their condition. Believing
that the government has done and is
doing much against the interests of the
fanners and laborers uf this country.
So thinking, and so convinced, they
have, naturally come together as a po
litical foroeT
The republican party, said the
speaker was once the ''third party."
It was based upon one definite princi-ple-r4hat
slavery was wrong and should
not be further extended. It succeeded:
How can republicans consistently talk
against the idea of a third party. Ev
ery man of us has been in politics; ev
ery man of us that cares for the welfare
of our country must be in politics.
The republicans want us in politics,
but with them; democrats, ditto. Tex
as democratic editorials say the third
party is a republican scheme to break
up the democratic party. The Topeka
Capital and other papers of that ilk say
it k a scheme of the' southern demo
crats to destroy the republican party,
It looks to us like a sobeme to break
up both the old parties!
Based upon principles, earnestly con
tending for the right, it cannot be, as
our friends, the enemy, say, that one
cood "crap will put an end to our
movement Never until great and last
ing reforms are accomplised. What is
the trouble? Class legislation.
The speaker then vividly illustrated
the workings of the national banking
law. How a man with a $10,000 bond
can get fonr per cent on it, be exempt
from taxation and then get $9,000 in
bank notes at one per cent, with which
to do ousiness as a banker for the ac
commodation of the people. He show
ed that the whiskey distiller can put
his whisky in bond and get a certificate
which is equivalent to a warehouse re
ceipt, and upon which money caa be
obtained anywhere. The Alliance and
the People's party are united in de
manding more money. Abolish nation
al banks, which are based upon a na
tional debt, which itself rests upon the
property of the public and ksue money
upon that property directly.
On the money question the western
democrats are in favor of free silver;
while in the east they are solidly
against it It k, to a large extent, the
same way with the republicans. It k
a self-evident proposition that the own
ers of the money of the country waat
it scarce and dear, while the farmers
want it plentiful.
As it is now, there k no cbaace for
anyone to get money from the govern
ment exeept he have U. 8. bonds aad
wants to start a bank. It is bank,
bank, BANK! A man with lands
worth $20,000 comes to ) comptrol
ler of the currency and says: "Hare
k ample security; give me $10,000 in
government notes to be used as money."
The offer is refused. Aaother says:
"Here k a mill and elevator worth $25,
000; I can use $10,000 advantageously
if I can have it oa the same terms yoa
lct4he banker hare bis,' ' Does be get
it? No. So if a man wanted to build
a railroad; he couldn't get the govern
ment to consider his proposition.
Now the bankers have beea getting
very high rates for thk money 2 per
oentTa month op the average. Paying
1 per cent a year aad aettiag 24 per
cent j-
A 8TAKTURO OALOCLATfOW.
$1 at one per cent a year, coatpowad
interest will produce $2.86 interest i ia
100 years; atr24 per cent it will pro
duce 2 billion, 500 siUm dollars.
Here you get aa idea of the grip of the
money power through the means of
scarcity of money aad high interest
rates.
Senator Bo wen a few years ago, Tk
the eourro of, a speech; said: ' 'BUI af
after bill, under aeeauagly kaoosat
tkley have beea passed to tightea the
grip of the arkteeraer f Cash apoa
the threatof the aristo eraey of Labor."
The People's party wants to loosen
that grip;" will 'oae gooderop" atop
oar efforts? Seaator Plumb not long
ago said: "For 30 years the legislation
of this country has been in the inter
ests of bondholders and money-loancrs."
Don t yoa see that a ehange must be
made. The speaker then showed how
railroad rates are manipulated unjust
ly; how "pauper laborers fresh from
Europe caa ride from New York City
to Chicago for $1.00 per head, while
American laborers, with whom these
fresh arrivals are to compete, pay $20
for that trip. He also referred to the
exorbitant railroad rates as being inci
dent to paying dividends upon 5 billions
of watered stock.
We have given the foregoing as em
bodying somewhat of the speech of Mr.
Kies, but fail to do it justice. It was
replete with instruction and strong with
sound reasoning. Other addresses were
delivered by different speakers whioh
we arc unable to note from want of
space. .

A Cure for the Ailments of Man and Beast.
A long-tested pain reliever.
Its use is almost universal by the Housewife, the Farmer, the
Stock Raiser, and by every one requiring an effective
liniment
No other application compares with it in efficacy.
This well-known remedy, has stood-the test of years, almost
generations.
No medicine chest is complete without a bottle of Mustang
Liniment
Occasions arise for its use almost every day,
All druggists and dealers have it
A CITY LUXURY.
Just as the dry looks to the country for most of the luxuries used
on its tables, so the country must turn to the city for those conven
iences which are justly termed luxuries for the hard-working house
wife. Gty housekeepers have learned to sealize that to save time is to
lengthen life.
fa one of the best known city luxuries and each time a cake is used
an hour is saved. On floors, tables and painted work it acts like a
charm. For scouring pots, pans and metals it has no equal IF YOUR
STOREKEEPER DOES NOT KEEP IT YOU SHOULD INSIST
UPON HIS DOING SO, as it always gives satisfaction and its immense
sale all over the United States makes it an almost necessary article to
any weO-supplied store. Everything shines after its use, and even .the
children delight in using it in their attempts to beTp around the house.
