The enormous debts piled up by tho different counties of Kansas undoubtedly places us at a disadvantage by lowering tho value of real estato and by making it more difficult for the farmer and producer to make a living.

These are the great monopolies of the country and this tho system against which such an outcry has arisen. In a fair I'hco for wealth no one may complain that tho more energetic or intelligent outstrip his fellows; but in the unfair advantage taken and tho species of robbery perpetrated by quasi public corporations thoro is every reason why a restriction should bo placed upon such bodies and an equal bone-fit given to every one. The result wo see in the fact that tho more these grasping monopolies obtain the more they want. It is this which has given rise to tho uneasiness amongst tho laboring classes and which in timo must rcduco the railroad systems to a level with all the other priyato enterprises throughout the land.

McGregor has before the people, the Girard Press has been bought undoubtedly by the Coal Company, and is used as a tool in their hands to fight an issue which is the most important of the day. The Democratic party have this fall given the workingmen a Representative, believing as they do that the warking classes ought to be represented, and the Republican party are doing all that lays We 1 mvo only nini-ti more clays to stay. You will buy the best and finest clothing the land for and allow me, Mr. Editor, as a matter of industrial and political pride, to say that after much persuasion from friends of the Democratic, Laboring and Republican parties, Capt. E.

P. Miller finally consented to enter the race as the Democratic standard bearer for the 32nd Representative District of the State, to which he was unanimously nominated several weeks ago. In entering this race Capt. E. P.

Miller does it at a great financial loss, that is, in his absence from his hotel, so generally thronged on account of his genial, kind and hospitable manners and treatment; and if elected, which is a fact conceded by many, it will be a greater sacrifice not only H.

"Well, I suppose not very Many of the ardent supporters of thej K.uisas drug store law would shrink from a comparison with "poor old Missouri" in other respects, but I guess the comparison of "prohibition" as exemplified in Kansas with "high license" in Missouri, will make the most of them a little sick.

The auditor of the State of Missouri published his report not long since, It gives the number of dran shop licenses issued for the year ending July 4, 1886, as 2,748, only forty-two greater than the number of whisky stamps issued from this office for our last year, ending April 30, but, you remember, the total number of stamps issued in this state covering the manufacture and sale of distilled and fermented liquors last year was 3,008. Now deduct the number of breweries and the one distillery included in that number and you have 3,000, or 126 more places in Kansas where liquor is sold than in Missouri. To consider the comparison, we must consider that Missouri has nearly twice as many inhabit mts as Kansas. Again, under the high license law of Missouri there are very miny restrictions upon the sale of liquor, including a decent respect of the fab-bath day, and so strictly and so easily is this last mentioned rsstriction enforced that it has become notorious that large numbers come from that state to "prohibition Kansas" on Su" to gamble but get drunV druggist Tit as Real Estate, Loan Insurance. in their power to defeat that issue, by circulating slanderous reports about the Democratic candidates- G.

Miller deserves and will receive the support of all who desire honest nave sold to this date. Logically, then, it follows that both the druggist and the saloon man sell whisky and beer to make money. Except for the profit neither would sell, a druggist can use any class of spirits, as much as his business requires in preparing or compounding medicines, without paying a tax; it is only when he sells whisky, brandy, gin or other distilled or fermented liquors, in a form that permits its use as a beverage, that the government considers him a dealer the same as a saloonkeeper, and requires him to pay the same tax, no more, nor no less. "But if you think can stand a little more of a comparison with Missouri I will add that it also appears from an examination of the auditor's report referred to that in addition to the restrictions thrown around the sale of liquor in that state which we know not of in Kansas, the dram shops of Missouri paid into the state, county and city treasuries of that state the sum of $1. 832,307.93, while in Kansas the liquor dealers have not contributdd a single dollar to the support of municipal or state government." too, the Tress, are hghting vansyckie, candidate on the Democratic ticket for county attorney, as he has pledged himself to render all the assistance he can aws; to see the Laborers hands unfet attorney was an old PARSONS, KANSAS tered and repugnant laws repealed.

Address the author, W. V. MARSHALL, Oswego, Kas. What the author has tried to do, and he feels confident that he has succeeded in his object, has been to demonKtmte the truth of the following propositions, viz: "That Unkaiu Distuhh tion of Earnings" is the true and only cause of oyer" production, industrial depression and "hard times." That the primary agencies of unfair distribution arc two: 1. Unfair taxation, exercised through the instrumentality of a false code.

'J. Unfair exchange, exercised through the instrumentality of monopoly. That a proper remedy consists of the introduction of a fair system of taxation and the abolition of monopolies. That fair taxation, while coustitutiagof itself a remedial measure, will effectuate the abolition of monopolies. That whit must follow is independent enterpri.c, free competition and the rapid tween wealth and poverty or between capital and labor.

This is a mistake. Private capital or a private corporation rarely becomes a monopoly, unless, perhaps, in the single uors connned to the drug store alone, 1 might mention, for instance, ATCHISON. the home of the present governor, and where an assistant attorney general was especially commissioned and charged with the enforcement of the law.
