People's Party Eally at McPherson.
To the Editor of The Advocate.
The People's party rally at thia place
was a grand success. The procession
surpassed all expectations. Twenty-air
loads of wheat were In line as a donation
to the cause of reform.
Republicans are working like beavers,
but the tide is against them. The grand
army had a fine reunion, many People's
party soldiers participating. The "stand
up" portion of the crowd was labeled
with the regular yellow badge. Taking
an Inventory of the republican speakers
for the evening after the adjournment,
one could but observe that at least three
of the number were drawing pay from
the state while pleading the cause of the
g. o. p.
fiend the glad tidings to every part of
the state that Aicrnerson county, tne
home of A. W. Smith, will give the Peo
ple's ticket at least 300 mtj wlty.
Oar meeting In the afternoon was ad
dressed by Judge Stephen H. Allen and
Hon. John G. Obis. The audience was
variously estimated at from 4,000 to 5,000,
and a more enthusiastic and determined
people never met In McPherson county.
I shall not undertake the task of giving
a description of the procession, but every
one present, regardless of party, readily
conceded it to be the fiaest ever made in
the county. Many very suggestive ban
ners were to be seen. One bore the in
scription :
You Can't 4 Acre Us.
! Stand Up Fob Kansas! !
Above which was a picture of Harrison
and Smith holding up liJtkln while he
was relieving himself of some "bad medi
cine," I notice the Capital had an account of
the republican rally at night, stating that
there was a torch-light procession of COO
torches, 500 of which escorted their hon
ored guest, J. 11. Foraker. The writer
counted every torch In line and there
were 235 all told, counting the band
wagon torches, and Including the New
ton Flambeau club which numbered seventy-
five. They did pretty well for A.
W. bmith's home county, Including his
followers, in a city of 3,000 inhabitants.
.While the republicans were holding
forth In the reunion tent, the People's
party was holding a most enthusiastic
meeting at the Grand opera house which
was packed to lta utmost capacity. The
Llndsburg bind and the Qaenemo Glee
club furnished the music. The chair
man then introduced Mr. Duncan Mc
Phail, a life-long republican who has
joined the People's cause. Hla address
was greeted with enthusiastic applause.
Last, but not least, came Hon. John Mar
tin, of Topeka. Round after round of
applause greeted the speaker as he pro
ceeded in his Inimitable style to show the
great necessity for the common people to
join hands In the great cause of reform.
Never since the commencement of this
movement has there been a speech made
in Mcpherson that his done as much to
unite all elements in a common cause as
that of Judge John Martin. He should
make two speeches a day until the close
of the campaign. The enemy is sick,
and the victory will be ours.
One Who Was Therk.
McPherson, Kas., October 10, 1892.
. Ex-Qov. George W. Glick to-day told
the following story on Railroad Commis
sioner Mitchell, who worked up the
democratic anti-fusion conference here
on the 7th. A democrat in McPherson,
whose name Glick refuses to make pub
lic, wrote to Mitchell for a pass to come
to the stalwart convention. Mitchell
gcnthim three with Instructions to bring
some good democrats with him. The
McPherson man Immediately wrote back
for more passes and Mitchell sent seven.
He wrote back for seven more and got
them. Then he telegraphed: "Business
booming, send me ten more," and Mitch
ell sent them. The democrat stayed
home, and now has all the passes In his
possession. Topeka Correspondence Kan

The Better System.
To the Editor of Ths Advocatk.
The money plank of the People's party
states that the government should Issue
all the money directly to the people with
out the intervention of banking corpora
tions; also that the volume of money
should be Increased to $50 per capita, j
These demands are definite and specific.
In regard to the methods and details of
issuing this money the demands are not
so detinue ana specmo, out recommenas
the sub-treasury cr Borne better system,
clearly indicating that we are willing to
consider various mjthods and take the
best
Republican orators are shouting them
selves hoarse about the impracticiblllty
and unconstitutionality of our demands
in regard to ths finance reform. Repub
lican editors write long editorials to
prove the absurdity and the visionary
character of our demands. Some of
them seem to be completely horror
stricken with the thought that farmers
and other common folks should have the
impudence to ask the government to loan
them money on the same terms as na
tional bankers obtain. Yet, opposed as
they are to our finance reform, they seem
to be able to point out the better system
to put more money in circulation. Sena
tor Sherman haa Introduced a bill for the
government to guarantee $100,000,000 of
bonds running 100 years to build the Nic
aragua canal. President Harrison, In his
late letter of acceptance, calls attention
and recommends government aid to the
proj ect. My good republican friend, you
do not realize what that means. It means
nothing less than the bonding of your
self, your children, and children's child
ren to the' lamount of $100,000,000; or
more, to transfer this enormous amount
to the pockets of a few millionaires. This
party of plutocrats who has not, and will
not do anything in the Interest of the
common people Is ever ready to assist
those who are already rich. A republi
can victory this fall means the carrying
out of this colossal swindle. Remember
this is the sams party which gave to the
Pacific roads $01,000,000, has been so
kind and paternal as to not collect the
Interest, has kindly exchanged a first
mortgage for a second mortgage, and
could not think of foreclosing, because
It would be so cruel and heartless.
Do you not see that when millionaires
can get millions or hundreds of millions
from the people through legislation, that
is all right and perfectly proper; but to
help a farmer to save his home from the
grasp of Shylock by a loan, oh, that
would never do!
Government bonds bearing 30 per
cent, can be sold at par, that would only
be $3,000,000 of interest annually, and
only $300,000,000 Interest In a hundred
years, and the bonds could be used as a
banking basis, and the danger that the
national banking system would have to
bs abandoned on account of not having
any more bonds for a basis would at
least be delayed. Why, the same gentle
men beggars who would pocket the $100,
000,000 could, under the national bank
law, get $90,000,000 more to help them
along In a pinch. Don't you see that's the
better system for them. Vote the re
publican ticket, and John Sherman and
Benjamin Harrison J will aeethat the
plan Is carried out But If you are tired
of taxing yourself to make the rich
richer, if you love your wife and child
ren, if you love justice and right more
than party, then you will be obliged to
vote with the People's party. If you are
a farmer, mechanic, workingman, busi
ness man, or professional man, would
you not better think which Is the better
system for you? M. Senn.
The latest development at Homestead
Is the arrest on warrants for high treason
against the state of Pennsylvania, of ths
members of the advisory committee of
the locked-out men. Instead of warrants
of arrest, gold medals ought to be
awarded them; for had it not been for
their Infl ience the Carnegie works would
have been In ashes three months ago.
The persecution of these men La a con
fession of spite 8nd weakness on the part
of the Carnegie people which not even
the staunchest monopolist organs care to
defend. Legally there is not a leg for
these actions to stand on, and while the
accused men may be subjected to Incon
venience, they certainly can have nothing
to fear from a judicial Investigation un
less a Jeffries sits on the bench and pol
troons In the j ury b ox. Nevertheless the
ease with which the Carnegie pirates
seem able to utilize the judicial machin
ery for the gratification of their grudges
and the Intimidation of their employes is
alarming. When the impression be
comes prevalent among the people that
the plutocrats own the courts look out
New Nation. ''
AMERICAN LAND AND IMMIGRA
TION COMPANY.
Lands for Actual Tillers.
This title is the name of a company lately
incorporated under the laws of the state,
with headquarters in Topeka, and under the
management of J. H. Brady, a real estate
man of sixteen years' experience.
The stockholders and officers of the organ
ization comprise representatives of almost
every reliable land and loan company doing
business in Kansas. The objeot and pur
poses, as set forth in their charter, are "to
sell lands, raw and improved, to invite im
migration, to grow oerals," eto.
The company owns choice land in every
county of the state, and has for sale more
than 2,000 farms. Three million dollars are
invested in farms and oity property in every
part of the state, and many improved
farms are offered at nearly the cost of the
improvement alone. There are hundreds of
opportunities for those who wish to till the
fertile soil of the beet state in the union to
secure a farm for almost nothing, for it will
pay for itself in half the time offered. The
wonderful advantages of Kansas; its Italian
climate; its altitude, just high enough for
healthfulnesa; its sohoola, the equal of any
in the union; its fertile soil, and its moral
and intelligent people make an investment
in land here more sure of rioh returns than
in any other section of the country. The
eate r on the sterile farms of the east can,
by pluok and energy, here own a farm dear
and free in a short time.
Mr. Brady will take pleasure in showing
how easily it can be done. His agents are
everywhere. There is one in each of the
100 counties of Kansas, and 150 are dis
tributed through Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and
Iowa, ready to serve the visitor to Kansas or
the purchaser of a home in the heart of the
continent. A postal to Mr. J. II. Brady,
asking for his " Course of Study for Home
seekers and Investors," will well repay the
interested.
A word, in justioe, must be said of Mr.
Brady. His selection to manage the intri
cate and responsible affairs of this company
was wise and judicious. His general busi
ness qualifications, his universal acquaint
ance throughout the west, his knowledge of
values, his experience as a seller of land, his
reputation as a king of rustlers, his genial
disposition and his strioi probity, fit him
above all men in ths state to be placed at
the head of such a vast institution. He has

For sale by an hardware dealers and merchants.
Sold and can sell more land than any other
man in the state. Eleven thousand six
hundred aores sold in the last ninety days is
one item in his business transactions, and
yet he wants to sell more. Mr. Brady and
a bargain in land don't stay together long,
as the sales of this company show.
This faot remains to be impressed: If in
any way interested in renting or buying a
farm in this garden of the west, ask Mr. B.
for information, and see or hear of his farm
that fits your fancy and your pooket.
