Union Labor Banner. 3D. Gh. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1888. Allan G.

Thurman: "I have been nearly nine years in the Senate of the United States; and if there is any financial legislation here for the benefit of the widow and orphan and laboring classes, I have been too obtuse to discover it." CORNER FIRST AND tEBAR PUBLISHED EYIRY FRIDAY MOKNING AT AMMtNK, KANSAS, BT E. B. HARRINGTON AND ENTKIUSD AT TUB AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER. EDEALER 1NE Those who have been voting with the Republicans "just once more" for the past twelve years, think there will be something done now. The Republican platform, which by their votes they endorsed, is pledged to no reform or change, but to the old policy, and under such circumstances we do not see wherein they base their hope.

It would be a breach of trust for- the publican party to do anything interest of the people. ADVERTISING RATES-Local advertising 6 cents per line.

ABBON IL, LAM AMD CHIMNEYS. Physicians Prescriptions Accurately Compounded. The Reflector recommends in a recent issue that people should not allow political differences to affect personal feelings. We agree with them; but, the, political zeal of the Reflector's editors earned them so far in the recent campaign that ic was hard to discriminate between their political and pcrsoni'l animosity. We don't know, but would judge by what they said about us, and in fact everybody else differed poiiticallywit.lt them, that it was a hearty personal dislike that was hurting them.

No paper in Abilene indulged so freely in bitter personalities. Farmers pay interest on what they owe and taxes on what they own and owe for; national bankers collect interest on what they owe and pay no taxes. The report of the state auditor gives the municipal indebtedness of the 6tatc, including county, township, city and school district bonds and city warrants, as $31,107,646.90.

MONEY LOANED ON APPROVED SECURITY. BUMTINKER AND SON. The Horny Handed Stand In With Him and Bennie. Industrial Age. Pa, did you vote for Union LaborP Yes my son; I voted to try and uplift the downtrodden.

Well pa! the horny handed seem to think it Is all right. You see, pa. those Union Labor fellows think Bennie and BennVs party are all right. gaze on Kansas. You know it Is said the more you whip a dog the better he will like you.

Why pa, we have roasted these horny handed farmers in the past and to-day they just step right up and vote us all the perquisites we ask. See those Grangers, Wheelers and Farmers Alliance fellows, try to make an ordinary laboring man believe it Is wrong to tax one class of men on what they owe as well as what they own and then exonerate other classes from paying on what they own. I tell you pa, this is getting to be the fattest thing out. Just see how easy it is to drive those fellows. 1 Pa, it don't take much of a cowboy to keep them In line.

Now if we have got Bennie we will have fatness inded. Pa, if we don't have fatness this winter, then I miss my guess. Just think, the farmers and laboring men have refused to have the legislature cut down "interest. Now with all of our bankers and money loaners in the legislature we propose to get just as near all of their surplus as possible. You see this is right, the horny handed say so, and with such fatness before us we would bo foolish to not take in.

Now bye and bye they will begin to squeal, but what good does it do the pig to squeal after his throat is cut? My son! will jou ever get over this idea of fatness? Have you so far entered itito these schemes that you can over the downfall of the industrial classesP ishame, shame, my boy, that you should rejoice when the farmer through, party bliudness, vfoted away his own rights, and said to the partv bosses, your every act was right. My son! many a man will rue his party act of Tuesday last. Whoa up! there pa. Don't think for one minute it is not right to put up combines on the farmer. Didn't the Union Labor part of Kansas say in their platform that would do away with the combinat on on school books? And d.du't the farmers and laboring men by their votes, say that, that was wrong? Just gaze on the Union Labor platform and see I am not right in sayiug that tiiej farmers and laboring mer.

like lo Le bled. You just bet I am going to stand in with my Republican friends who were elected to the leg'sla-ture. Pa, there is fatness in it. S-a-y! May-be-you-don't-know how-to-appreciate-a-f at-thing. Now, pa, these farmers this fail, will ship their grain and cattle east, and in January they will compare notes with wife and they will find that crops are east and money is east alto, and when February rolls round thev will have to call around to our pet banks, and borrow money enough to pay the'r interest, and seeing they like what pleases us (high interest) we will just slap it to them in great shape.

You know pa, interest has great force and when used often can just raise the hair, equal to any Comanche Indian. Some of the horny handed have petitioned us to bring iu cheap Chinese labor, you see we interpret'their votes that way, and you know pa that Bennie has a record that is hard to down. Whoop but don't we have things roll our way in great shape? Pa, Blaine knew what the horny handed wanted when he said The Republican party is professedly the friend of the old soldier. In a Soldiers' Home in New York state there are a lot of old veterans. These war-scarred veterii3 in a recent election proved to have a majority that were not willing to do the bidding of their old bosses in the matter of voting.

The Republican politicians, who love(?) them so well, noting The Industrial Age, one of the best Union Labor papers in southern Kansas, published at Wellington, -comes to us bright us a new dollar. The Union Labor boys down there 'Organized a stock company and pur--chased the defunct Quid-Nunc outfit. ints ai once iook sieps 10 nave them disfranchised on the ground' WELLS DRILLED. The Republicans at Arkansas City run in nearly a hundred men from the Indian Territory and voted them in that city. Two men voted who are residents and city officers of Ponca, a town twenty-five miles south of the state line.

An exchange says, "Let us investigate the election frauds of Kansas." that they were "paupers, living upon public bounty." Who ever heard -f such an ungrateful set. The Union Labor party is in favor of paying the old soldier what lie lost through being paid in a depreciated currency, ami giving them all a pension. We want no poor houses for old soldiers, and were he paid what is justly due him, there would be no need for them. W. H.

ers," are 'doing the thinking. We used to look to the cities and commercial centers, among the professional and business men for the master minds. A great change is taking place. In the campaign just ended the men who have for years been the eloquent mouth pieces of the old parties were either routed or put upon the defensive, in almost every instance, by the plain facts presented by the philosophical "old grangers." These are ''the singns of the times." "Thought moves the world" and it will not be long until these vaunting and puffed-up politicians who have become so wise in their own conceit that they have ceased to think or learn will be relegated to the lear and the reigns of government will be held by men, who, if not so polished NEW STOCK JUST RECEIYED Some of our exchanges are in favor of dropping the word "labor" from our party name. The change is suggested for the reason that many imagine that we are simply a labor organization Such i agination does not speak very well lor the intelligence of those who imagine this, but "Barcus is that the change be made.

Principles will succeed as well under one name as another. oooooooooooooooo BERRY, BERRY CO.

Fatness, fatness, fatness! Won't we just make Rome howl? Everything The Republicans think they must have an extra session of Congress immediately after the inauguration of Harrison, They are afraid death might cut down their slender majority ere the nine mouths would roll around. They don't think that for strictly legislative purposes it would amount to much, "but it is almost necessary to secure to them all the fruits of their victory." They want the "fatness" right away. we have done in the past is all right, as the professional politician of today, will be blessed with more brains and honesty. Let us strive to give the reigns of government into the hands of men of simplicity and with a thought for their fellows. The farmers say so and they asked for TO MAKE ROOM FOR THIS NEW STOCK THEY ARE CLOSING OUT THEIR ENTIRE LINE OF This is Your Chance, Go and See Them, Cedar Street, Abilene, Kansas, more, and they shall not ask in vain.

My son, you have truthfully portrayed the situation, and the farmers and mechanics will rue the day they voted for such vile systems, ere many months. One of our Kansas exchanges last week gave the following: "Prices at which property sold Monday: A fine Norman colt, a good past, $22; a good-looking eleven-hundred horse, $32; a good five-year-old horse, fair size, $20; a good ten or eleven hundred brood mare, a good looking animal $20.

EEZE3 CGZOrZ" BAKBEY, We want a money based upon the credit of our government. When we have a money of this kind, wherever it may be, should our government become endangered, it will come to its rescue. Upon the life of our government would rest the life of our money The money, or the holders of it, would see to it that the nation which created it, did not perish. Gold will not do this; it is a gambler in the fortunes of nations and individuals. Yet here is good property selling for T.
