TUB OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE PKOPLE'8 PARTY OF RENO COUNTY. HUTCHINSON, IlKNO COUNTY, KANSAS, THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 1900. VOL. 10. NO. 42. MoKINLEY'S EXTRAVACENCE. Senator Clay of liHoigln recently made ii speech in the extnu'iiiMiicHnf thin ntitloiiHl administration that tilven material for some Ihlnklntf.

Up to thH civil war there. h! been no material Increase In tho pur capita of national expences and wt no time dlil they exceed .'. per onpltn. In 1S78, with a pouuI.llon of W.Ool. 000, miller Grant's administration, fol lowing cIohb upon the civil war the ex penditures were fHUG per capita and general demands for economy remitted In the defeat of the republican part? At the polla In 1S7(l. Two years later the per capita of expenditures had been reduced to if! US. In isss the popula tion had increased to ftii.!i74,oiil) jet the jter capita of expense wua reduced to 4.113. Under Cleveland's second ad ministration tin population had In creaaeito "l.IM'l.OOU and tne national oeht was nialntiiliied at SI. hi per cup Ita. The expenses per capita lor the year 181)11, have iIm ii to ii7.li", and for the year lliiK) the amount reijulred per cup- lUlsD.Ol upon a bases of 77,000.000 dopulatlun. . And yet this I rot the j limit of extravagance for tbecHtlmated I fxpcnuiiurs xor iwn, uinounv v11911.un per capita. For the year 10(H) the p proplatlons amount to (j0j,0;",4Sii,tl, and lor 1001 the estimates amount to the sum of l7:i3.855,24H.iS. Of course it Is true that tho govern menl Is now undertaking some lines of business now that did not In the early history of this country ami the ten dency has been to increase somewhat the cost of operating the Kovernment in all countries during the last century Hut there is nothing to warrant any Buoh Increase as this. If any one lias t desire to know what is bringing It bout he can easily llnd out. It lias been done in pfenning the wIiiks of the American EhrIo for bis Imperialis tic lilKht. In lHiH) the appropriation for the army was fiM.ooo.Uno. In 1!)()0 it Is 1114 000,000 a not Increase of 01, 000,000 or more than one dollar per capita on this one Item alone. Along with Increased military equipments go other charges for maintannnce, think eylsm etc. How tlo you like it? Joski'H Hulpli llurion, chairman of the Kansas delegation ut the Philadel phia convention, in an interview published In the Chicago Tliues-lleruld ot .Tune 2- s:iyt: Kansas declined ltadt out acd out in the lit gluing for Roosevelt because the delegates felt sure that If hu were put on the ticket It would mean tho addition of fi.OW) votes for the republican ticket. We will be able to get one congressman I think, but I am afraid wo shall not be able to get an electoral vote, as the plurality for liryan In lsuo Is too high for us. Ma.ioii W. L, Brown of Kingman. quoted in an interview 1 11 the dally papers as saying of the action of the committee In thin city. "This is liable to give trouble in Slate, national and couuty polities in Kansas'." N'o It will not do anything of the kind unless disturbers to parties keep the matter before the peoplo formulating discord. We confess that at present we see no way of bringing about pence In this district, but we can go ahead with our national, State and county legislative ticket the sauie as if this breach bad not occurred. We cannot ullow this trouble to euvolve other matters and believe there is no danger that It will. With the exception of periodical revolution in South America where the "Outs," Instead of using the ballot to get possession of the ofllces, resort to petty wars to obtain control of thegovernment and ofllcial spoils, all the lighting now going on In tbe world Is due to the aggressions of Im perialism. The armies of England are busily engaged in South Africa lo extending British dominion over Dutch peoples and territory. Tbe United tftates is waging war in tbe Philippines to make good Its title to ten I tot y which it acquired from Spain. France is preparing to fight Morocco with a view to territorial aggrandizement, while It seems to be only a question ot time when Japan nnd Itussla will go to war over Korea. The steady ad vance of Russia In Asia may also lead to a collision between the Slav and the Briton Into which other powers will be drawn. In fact, the Imperial idea threatens to culminate In a conlllct which will be world-wide In Its scope .and from which the United StateB, pood luck -lialtliuuie bmallpox.

It is very evident that he can't af ford to make a epeciulty of smallpox caaea as smallpox being a contagious dis ease Is injurious to his private pratice, beside taking up nearly all his time. Therefore it ii patent that the proper thing to d9 is to employ some qualified physician to look after thesmallpox cases To do this will require the expenditure of some money. It will oertaiuly be cheaper to do this at once as it is much eaiier to control in warm weather. Daring the winter there were about sev- euty oases ot smallpox. It has now drindled to about tea with new ones cou utantly developing- It has been suggested that a large per-. cent of the Cases mentioned have come in from other localities, but suoh is not the ease. Every case now reported be long here and contracted the diseuue here. Cases now under quarantine are five. The last case reported Thursdny morning wae a colored porter iu a burher shop in this city. From foregoing it is clear that smallpox is still in the city uml unless radical measure are taken to stump it out this summer, Hutchinson will experience an epidemic next vviuti'r that will put shame to tho ruvages of Asiatic liabouic Plague.

HAPPY NEW ZEALAND. Own. Hit Itiillnmils, 1 1 ut no IMIIllnliiilrn ami NuppnrU lli,r I'oor In Thoir Old -liiH. A good lnany New Zea landers have been visiting this country lately on their way lo the 1'nris exposition Without exception ail are nstoninhcd at the evils we put. up witli in ihis country under u cyst em of private owncrsdiip. They have been shocked nt the vice nnd wickedness seen on landing at, Knn Francisco, mid , It in incomprehensible to them why we per mit Mich wrohgs to cxjst when we might so easily get rid of them. N. Meuli, of Wuugaiiui, and John Score, of (osborno, arc two clti'cns of New Zealand noyv in this country, und they lately gave u Kansas City re porter nn interesting interview that furnished the natives of that town something to ponder over. "One of the first tilings we found to criticise here is your railway system of pri vate ownership," tmid llie latter. "Now we feel in our country that the ruilroudH should belong to the whole people, just exactly us do the ordinary highways. Wo feel toward your pri vate railroads just as I would judge your people would feel if Rome cor poration were allowed to put in pike roads und charge tolls for proilt. "How docs government ownership work? Magnificently. We hnve a minister of railroads in our cabinet. 11c directs them. The employes are appointed for competency nnd are kept employed during good behavior. Changes in party do not disturb them. We luive elections every three years, but no npoii.s system, us you know it In America, extends to the railroad service, the result of government ownership i a fair nnd equitable, sys tem of rates, as low as Is compatible with eilleicnt service and isneeial fa vors for noiimiy, In tuct that Is the main point," "You see, we don't believe in special privileges, or in very rich men," said Mr. Meull. "That's what wo meant in the oul-set by saying that our's is u wurklngiuun's country, We have no millionaires. They are praetleully Impossibilities by reason of our grad uated Income tax. Incomes of i'llDO ($l,,ori) iiinl under are exempt, On Incomes between 300 ($1,500) and 1.000 (M.nno) tlio tax Is 2'a per cent. that Is, sixpence on lhe pound. An Income thin rcaelici 1,000 ($.",l)on) Is taxed double, that Is live per cent., a shilling on the pound, and no on up, eonstant'y getting heavier, but I can't recall the exact llgurea, "And n not tier thing, any mini or woman who lias lived In the Islands Si years, has never been convicted of a crime, nnd who reaches the age of 0.") years, gels u pension of 1 (.1) n week, if penniless. Jf such person has un Income of 2S a year, say, then the pension is a;:!7 a year. The gov ernment miiliis the Incuniu up to 33 a year-a wick. A niau and his wife both re idling 0.1 years, and qual ifying as' I lime slated, would, there fore, be sure of $10 u week to the end of their d'l.vs. We feel that this Is only JiiKt, fur even the poorest people pay the taxes to the government, whether directly or Indirectly, so long as iliey arc able to work, They mipport 1he government while they can, why shouldn't the government in turn (.import them when they cannot?" Tariff mill TiirlfT In tlie good old 1 lines of "Merrle England" there was u tax on win dows. This wan n tax on sunlight and the people protested so earnestly against this evident outrage that the direct government tax was repealed. In tills free country there is a tarllY tax of i' to 123 per cent, on window glass, which prevents lhe Importa tion of glieis from foreign countries and enables the glass trust to raise tlie price of glass n I most up to the tariff line, which is the same lu ef fect as the old Kngllsh direct tax on windows. The main (lill'crence is the old Knglish tax went Into the govern ment treasury, while tlie American tariff tax on windows or sunlight iroen I"' ,'tlie treasnVy of the truit. Midland .ioiii-it.it. ' TRUCKLING TO THE TRUSTS. Tlie Administration Una Shown Id I'avur for Moii(ijtllHt!i Co in hi n en. The republican party Is the brjretter of the greatest monopoly of all that which gives the home market Into tlie absolute cr.n'rol of n few favored man ufacturers, The whole principle of trusts is conceded. In that action, The various particular trusts dealing in epeekilties are only offspring of the g neral trust which the republican party l as created and tenderly fos tired. It is t;:;!lhely to Interfere with them in any destructive fashion. It dares not. They support Its life, ns It r-upportu theirs, Il has no other motive or occasion for continuance compar able with that of serving the mercen ary avarice cf the trusts, It will go no farther in teeming hcatillty to them than they permit it logo. They make no opposition to any sort of mnlcc-be-lievc nntngnnh-m that will r.trrngthen it nt election time, but their negative will be Imperative and conclusive against any eourec thnt is dangerously hurtful. All persons who are well Informed in politics and till who have large inter ests In business understand this, per fectly. A . McKlnlcy iidnlnhit ration will haul down the flag in the I'hillp pims as soon ns it will cease to be the protector of trusts.
