And upon a firm basis of truth, the great principles of justice will rise triumphant throughout our land.

"We must learn the dew from the mildew, And the storm from the vernal showers; We must tear the weeds from our gardens, Without uprooting the flowers." Extortion. The Statesman would advise the People parly to set down hard on these mounte-banks who demand "310 and expenses" for a speeoh. The prioe is an extortion, and the person in our midst who demaad it have neither Lcart nor honesty in reform work. They bave attached themselves to tbe People's party for revenue only, and the sooner tbsy get the grand bounce the better It will be for the good cause of tbe poverty-striken people of Kansas. Oswego Statesman.

It does seem as if the American, people are the fools On earth for the advantages they have had. Old Soldiers. The favorite advice of Republican leaders is: "Vote as you shot." We say so too, old comrades -let's vote as we shot; We shot for Liberty, the abolition of slavery, the preservation of the Union, and the perpetuity of the Republic! To-day the mighty armies are marshalling for Liberty, for the abolition of wage slavery, for the preservation of the Union and the perpetuity of the Republic. Against us, the Nation's defenders, stand the masters of oppression, the money power, who robbed us by paying us, in depreciated Greenbacks when they had promised us gold, and established a policy which has bound us in a slavery inore abject than chattel slavery. Old comrades; our place is in Freedom's ranks'.

Let Us "vote as ive shot," that America shall be the home of the free. The crisis is' when Liberty must unfurl the People's banner, or the Republic end in anarchy or desprtisni; Old soldiers! let us wake the old warcry.of Liberty and union forever! and "vote as we shot." When a man gets along well in the world it is his duty to help every other man along. It is not only the dutjr. of wealth to ake care that ic does not pre vent others from getting rich but to see that the community is bles sed with abundant prosperity. EX.

Not An Issue: The Kansas state senate, in 1888? holds two years yet, or to the expiration of the term of the state officers and house of representatives to be elected next. November.

Corruptions in governments and organizations begins at the top and works down, purification begins down and works up. The people's papers, probably in haste and inadvertence, still call it the "silver bill." term is a bad misnomer. It is an anti-silver bill, and should be so called all the time. Give it the right name and add to its obloquy as rapidly as possible. Oswego Statesmen.

We are hot fighting the battles of the shiftless and idoleht farmer. We know that such there are. but in a country where three-fourths of that class are poorer, there must be something wrong somewhere, or else God Almighty made a Huge, blunder when he created the agricultural class; Alliance Motor. in 1865 there were 60C business failures in this country. In 1889 there were 14.000 business failures.

And yet we are told that times are better now than ever before, and that the Eeople wear better clothes and ave more td eat now than at any time in the history of the country. Sounds like a lie, dont it? Agitator. i "It's prbtty haid work earning an hanest living," said the tramp to tne, farmer's wife. "You don't mean to say that you work!" is simply, the result of my observa tionlbng the highways and byways. When I see how hard people work, and how little they get for.

In One Bushel of Coi n. is how. seme one figures it out; From a bushel of corn a distiller gets, four gallons of whiskey, which retails at $16; the government gets $3. 60, the farmer who raises the corn gets 40 cents, the railroad gets the manufacturer gets 84, the retailer gets 87.

Lothrop in honor 'of Mrs. John A. Logan. Mr. Whittier was obliged to decline an invitation to the reception, and hit letter of regret was accompanied by this poeml writ-ton for tbe occasion; Our thought of thee is glad with hope, Pear country of our love and prayers; -Thy way is down no fatal slope, Bat rj) to Jrwr sun sad airi.

Trted as by furnace Ores, and yet By God's grace only stronger made; In future tasks before thee set Thou shalt not lack the old-time The fathers sleep, but men remain As true and wise and brave as they; Why count the loss without the gain: The beat is that we bave to-day fco lack was in the primal stock, No weakling founders builded here; "there were the men of Plymouth Rock, The Puritan and Cavalier; And they whose firm endurance gained The freedom of the souls of men, Whose bands unstained in peace maintained The srrordlest commonwealth of Pena.

Ye3, "whose government; is this? "We want to know.

The Declaration of Independence says fall men are created free and equal," etc. If this be true, and who will say it is not, how does it happen that there comes td be so many glaring. inequalities? "Whose government is this? i Uncle Sam turns over. 860,000, 000 to pet banks without a cent of interest and as much more as they can find government bonds at one per cent, said to be to cover the cost of printing. But how ahout the farmer? Does Uncle Sam treat him likewise? Hardly That is, "not as anybody has "ever found out.

If Mr. Farmer wants a loan he don't get it from Uncle Sam," no! He must go either directly or indirectly to these pets of Uncle Sam and pay them1 in interest "all the traffic will bear." 1 Oh but say you, the boom is on! Our great protection laws are espescially for the farmer (r-a-t-z!) and prices are bound to be good. Yes. the boom is on, but who reaps the harvest? Who but the felloes you have elected iroin the ranks of lawyers and bankers to make laws for you? "Whose government is this, anyway?

Will you wake up and vote for men to represent your own interests or will yotf keep on yourselves, your wives, your sons your daughters, and future generations into slavery i-orso than chattel slavery in its Viest days? but the blood of every true V.ncrienn citizen should bcil Reform editors in their eager ness to refute false statements against their candidates, should not. lose sight of the leading issues bf the campaign. Such stories arc but "campaign lies," put in circulation by the who believe "it is lawful to deceive," and who know no higher aim than mere "success" at the polls. Reform aims at iKe triumph of principle. If we cannot win by Lonest means, upon sound principle, it would be no but simply reversing the classes in power.

Let us then keep, the leading issues bf the St. Louis platform the people; remembering that it is the cursed monetary system that is eating us of our homes, and not the campign lies of dog collared and boodle editoro. Voters, stand by.ypiir principles, and the men you have nominated to represent thein, and the Calumny of the; opposition will fall back into their own pot. A shake, A on, our: doorstep never bites us while we avoid it. 'i The worst kilid Of hanging is that' by the party collar.

The above wKich is oixr sentiments exactly, appeared in tho Statesmen month ago, and a1 few lionest reform papers have had the courage to copy it; yet there has been no reduction in the price of speech making, but so fruitful afield has Kansas become for these extortioners, that they are flocking in from other States to the exclusion of good honest Kansas reaping a rich, harvest to take home and spend in other states. We fail to see any reform in men who cannot earn fifty cents a day, payiDg persons $10 and expenses, for about two hours who will not lift their voice in behalf of reform priori pies, except by regular appointments at $10; and who when the campaign is over will lay off.

on the year's salery have made during our campaign; until, the next opportunity for a' soft Yet. we listened to these extortioners pleading the povkrtx of the people; but have failed to ever see one of them chip iii $10 towards the campaign expenses. We listened to one of these $10 fellows, was hired to draw the soldier vote, hour's speech was a recital of stale stories and nonsensical jibes on republicans, to the complete disgust of intelligent people. We regret that men, who as leaders claim to represent the great plain people of Kansas, will stoop to practice what they condemn in theory. Yet there are men who will push to the.

front in any movement, simply to work it for what money there, is in it; and the People's movement this year has proven an opportunity, pwing.tb the enthusiasm of the people. To the shame and discredit-bf our boasted "leading reform" papers, it must be said, that to them most of this fleecing fraud is due; they having worked it as a medium through which to extend their circulation, often to the detri ment of the little county Alliance organ struggling for an existence; and for the commission they receive for working up appointrrients and puffing the speakers. A speaker on the State list informs us. that he of fered to stump the 7th dist. for his expenses, but was told that they could not raise the money.

Yet since, this and neighboring counties have held several meet ings, each employing at least two of these 10 and expenses" He says after his name was placed on the list he was requested to work exclusively for one of these papers, or they would not work for appointments for him. As he refused his appointments have been few, yet the press speaks highly of his speeches. The people must learn to shoose for themselves between the' clean and the unclean. If we are to have reform it must come through honest measures. The1 person who works the movement for the money it brings is no friend to the people; and only lacks the opportunity to fletct him as completely as any monopolist.

The editor who. advocates any measure, which; robs or injures others, to advance his own interest, is 'not honest or deserving the support of This clasi of so called reform ers, pushing, to the front, has from the first! been a drawback to. the reform cause, by destroying the confidence of men in the honest efforts of others; and the gained by such measures Will bo offset bj those lost in another direction. f. Political vkkoum can come only through.

honest, integrity. Let us then be reformers in reality, carrying ont bur principles in our relations with men; electing clean men by honest effort, loaviug tho bloodsuckers to ply' their trade uhdor the boodlo paying party. Yet let no any ticicet bnt the republican, is an insult to the voter's antei ligence, for even the most stupid and ignorant voter should see that the supposition is that he is too densely ignorant to know that his vote-. -can in no wise affect prohibition at the ensuing election. But when danger to prohibition is given as a reason for not voting the people's ticket; the insult to.

the voter's intelligence is even more glaring in; view of that both republicans and democrats have repeatedly declared that the people's: party ticket is composed of prohibitionists, In view of these uncontested facts; for a man otherwise favorable to the people's party to vote the republicun ticket to save prohibition, is a confession of incompetency to cast an intelligent ballot.
