All legislative powers should be vested in one honse of representatives; and all bills should be ratified by a direct vote of the people before they become law.

Salaries of public servants should be adjusted to correspond with the average production of all commodities, All money should be issued direct to the people free of cost, be full legal-tender; and its. volume should be based on the exchangeable products of labor on the market, which alone creates a necessity for its use. The value of monev can be regulated only by giving to all r.fto.eRsarv commodities a debt- pavincr power equal to the av erage cost ot their production. As labor alone produces all wealth, even so labor, instead of money, is the true measure of values. Land bears the same relation to the human family as does water, air and sun-shine; where- fore every child born has an inalienable, God-given right to control a sufficient amount to subsist upon.

A graduated estate tax is the best way to limit the ownership of land and give all an oppor tunity to secure comfortable homes and enjoy freedom. The means of transportation and communication, the mines, the manufacturing business, the insurance business, the banking business, should be owne' jfind operated by the govern taent in the interest of all, Horace Schenck, Prof. Dun-ton's wife's father died, at his Jhome in Algona Iowa, on Wednesday morning Oct 3rd .1894, from injuries received in the cyclone which visited that place" a few weeks ago, aged 74 years.

He was not an office seeker, as he never asked for an office.

He leaves three sons and four daughters; all have families, and all are laboring in the cause of the over-burdened part of the human family. Obituary. Mary Francis Gore was born in Platte county May 12 1 1842, married A. M. Gore in looy, moved to Iowa in 1864, and to Kansas in 1890.
