Young 2f0 North Main Street. OLD CROWD GOING. Tiie prodm-i-i-' and the state of Kanas, and the United Stares as xxell. haxe been discriminated against by unjust class legislation xxhere the interests of the said producers and farmers are more and more trampled under foot and the taxured monopolists, trusts and combines haxe accumulated vast hoards of xvealth off of the toil and productions of the tailoring classes, and. Whereas.

Our congressmen, senators and the members of the state legislatures are responsible for the same and haxe either been a party to the same or haxe sat tamely by and hax-e not raised their dissenting voices against the enactment of these unjust laws and legislatixe acts nor in deteuse of the rights of the people: therefore, be it Resolved, That xve shall not support for re-election by our indorsements aud ballots any of the present incumbents, either for the ollice they last held or any other within the gift of the people, and hereas, John J. Ingalls has misrepresented the people of the state tor eighteen -ears xvit hout effecting aux measures of relief for his constituency, therefore, be it Resolved, That xxe do not favor his re-election nor do we laxor the election of the lion. E. II. Funston to congress, nor the selection for state auditor ul Nick Rentz.

The above are resolutions passed by the Johnson county Farmers' Alliance at a recent meeting in Olathe. It is more than probable that a very large part of the members composing the Farmers Alliance Johnson county supported Mr. Ingalls for the senate and Funston for the house. There is no plea here set up that either Air. Ingalls or Funston haxe failed to laithfully carry out the plat form upon xx liieli they xvere elected.

The farmers of Johnson county do not seem to think that is anything in their faxor. These farmers haxe discoxered that the policy supported by Ingalls and Funston haxe been detrimental to their interest aud they, therefore, very properly conclude if these meu were not possessed of sufficient statesmanship to discox er this in adx-ance of the farmers themselves, tliev are not fit to represent them in congress. And in this they are correct. A congressman's opportunities for learning xvhat is best for the people are certainly superior to his constituents, aud he should have discox-ered in advance of the farmers that the tariff has been simply a means devised lor robbing the people. The farmers of Kansas have found this out for themselx es, and it is no excuse for either Ingalls or Funston to now claim that they are xvilliug to represent their constituency.

A congressman should lead and not follow. Any farmer in Kansas who discovered in advance of our congressmen and senators that the tariff laws and a lack of money in circulation has injured this state, are better qualified to represent Kansas, either in the house or senate, than the men now representing this state in that body. It is perfectly ridiculous to sav the people should demand what they want. Must a man at the plow discover in advance of our senators what is best for Kansas'? Xo! The people have enough of the old crowd and thev will have to go. 'Ill enthuasisin which xx ill lie manifested in Wichita.

September t. during the session of the greatest Democratic convention ever assembled in Kansas ill spread like a great prairie fire, and consume the high tariff prohibition party of this state. LOW it it an papers keep right along talkingahout the Democratic parti.v's negligence in giving us free siix-er coinage just tilt same as if the Democrats had bad poscssion of the government for the last thirtx- years. Republican papers presume largly upon the ignorance of their readers. One of tiie faxorite ideas of the protectionists is that tiie country must be made what they call commercially independent of all the rest of the world.

Everything that can lie made on sacred American soil, ftiat xve must make; congress must legislate to have it done; consumers must pay higher prices in order that it may be done, and xve will keep our money at home and all grow rich 1 together. The foreigner vie will treat as I commercially our cue tut, for lie that cares not for bis oxvn household is worse than an infidel. Foreign commerce is scarcely to he desired, it is held, and so xve xvill pass McKinley administrative customs bills and McKinley tariff revision hills and xxall ourselves in commercially- from rite rest of the world. The barbarism and anti-progressive spirit of these sentiments are worthy of tiie middle ages. It is such centiineiits as these that the cix ilized nations of tiie world have oiicceedexi xx-iilnii tin present half century iu getting China, the hermit nation of the east, to abandon.

But if we grant licit these are just, we must still note that those who hold them overlook one part of the problem of commercial intercourse. We can prevent the importation of foreign goods, and we can continue to proser in a less degree, of course, but still to prosper. The more important question is, can xve get on equally xvcli without selling any tiling to the foreigner? What, for instance, do the growers of xx beat and corn and cotton think of this question? Our farmers exmrted three-fourths of the xvorl Ii of products sold abroad last year. The cotton groxvers sent out 266.000,001) xxorth; the xvlieat groxvers over 88.000.000 worth of xvlieat and flour, and the corn groxvers added about 56,000.000 more. Ot her farm products bring the grand total up to almost 600,000.000.

Now, xvhat do the farmers think of this commercial independence scheme? Are they willing to see commercial intercourse endangered to their oxvn hurt? Do xve suppose that- we can pass laws shutting out foreigners from our jiorts with their wares and not he retaliated against by these same foreigners? Our farmers have already had a taste of this kind of thing in the action of France and Germany in shutting out American pork. Do the farmers want more of that kind of tiling? Are they ready to see their oxvn foreign markets endangered or restricted in order to give our protected manufacturers a high protection xvall to defend tiie holy home market for them? This is not an idle theory. A French paper at Lyons, France, has recently printed an article which has attracted some attention in this country, showing that the principal European nations would most likely take retaliatory steps to protect tlieir interests if the McKinley bill should become a laxv. According to this paper, a member of the French chamber of deputies, M. Maximo Le-cornte, recently liad an interview with the French minister of foreign affairs, and learned that France, England, Italy and Sxvitzerland have united in a joint address to the United States government on the subject.

These nations will shoxv our govern meut that we sell them a great deal more than we buy, and that hence it is a matter of much greater importance to us to hold our European market than to shut the European out of the American market. The Lyons paper calls attention to the fact that cougress passed a la two years ago authorizing the president to take measures of reprisal against Canada; and the French editor closes with the following significant warning to our American law makers: They could not be surprised, therefore, if the governments of countries whose commerce is threatened by the application of the McKinley bill should do the same thing on tlieir oxvn behalf, should this ill advised measure lie adopted with the oppressive and outrageous provisions which arouse against it so justly the indignation of the commercial classes of the Old World.

DAMON. 110 NORTH MAIN STREET. MEDILLS PROPHESY. -some time ago Joseph Medill. editor of the Chicago Tribune, the lead ing Republican paper of the west, made a prediction, that, today sounds like prophesx.

These words of the great Republican editor were published promi nently in tariff reform literatuie in New York last March, and as it lias not been denied by Mr. Medill we infer that lie was correct lx quoted. Mere are his words. "Where, then, is the remedy from the heavy burden ot a 50 per cent tax on the necessaries ot lile, both imported and domestic? There is only one element or class able to remove it, and that Samson is sleeping in the lap of Delilah and will not awaken. of course, mean the farm ers.

The plundered, unprotected, twenty million of geese-like farmers who permit themselves to be plucked of exert feather by protected monopolists. So long as the simple minded bucolic class do nut 'kick off the burdens laid upon them. Congress will not disturb the xxar taxes and the manufactures' corresponding bounties. While the plowmen act like Nsacliar's ass, and crouch he-txvecn two burdens, both will be kept on their backs. The l'abrii ants live focalized in the cities, and plot the schemes for the promotion of their selfish interests and bring their united lobby influence to bear on members of Congress, whereas the fanners lixe isolated and scattered, and can't or don't combine in defence of tlieir interests Hence they are unprotected.

unrepresented and unconscious of xvhat keeps them poor. They are capti-xated by the specious cry of protection to American though they get none of it. and of the xalueof the -protected' home markets to them, as if protected nnmopolists eat anv more than other men. Xot until the xerdant, imposed-11 pon agriculturists xxake up to a realization of the confidence game being played upon them xx ill the xx ar tariff be reduced or reformed; but when xx-i 1 1 they get their eyes open andatt? In your lifetime? Samson (the farmers) is under the spell of Delilah (the manufacturers), aud his locks are shorn and he feels no Strength to resist. Until the protected manufacturers themselves ask congress to reduce their protection bounties in order to enable them to cheapen the processes of lubrication with a view to finding foreign markets for their surplus xxares, there will be no reduction of the high tariff, aud no relief from the- heavy burden it imposes on the fool farmers and opressed consumers.

But xvhen will that be? The great Republican editor predicted that there would be no reduction of the tariff until manufacturers themselves asked a reduction in order to cheapen their productions so as to enable them to compete in the open markets of the world. Now, what has been the result? The bill has already passed one branch of congress. It increases the burdens of the consumers, but the farmers have made no formal protest. On the other hand we find a large meeting assembled in Philadelphia last week, in the very midst of the great protected indus tries, and it was held to protest against the McKinley bill. Alexander K.

McClure presided, and the list of vice-presidents included the names of many-prominent business men of Philadelphia. The building was crowded, the tobacco, tinplate aud woolen industries being largely represented. The speakers were Congressmen McAdoo, of Xew Jersey; Springer, of Illinois; Bynum, of Indiana: and Breckeuridge, of Kentucky. At night a mass meeting of textile workers, called for the same purpose as the afternoon meeting, xvas held in Tex tile hall in Kensington, a suburb of Philadelphia. The meeting was gotten up under the auspices of the tariff reform club, the membership of which consists mostly of workingmen in the mills ho are opposed to the proposed increase in the duty of imported wools.

Messrs. Springer, Breckenridged and Bynum were the principal speakers. It is estimated that from sex-en to ten thorn and people, most of them workingmen, participated. The following was passed: Resolved, That we can not too strongly denounce the McKinley bill as a danger ous measure, nor too earnestly protest against its passage by the United states senate and that we hereby give notice that we will be satisfied with nothing short of free raw material and such a corresponding reduction of general tariff rates as will make living cheaper, give us a chance to enter foreign markets with our products as well as to keep and control our oxvn, knowing full well that only- by those means can the toilers secure steady work and good wages. Here are the very men, whom it is claimed would be benefitted by high tariff, resolving against it.

The farmer is told that the tariff will enable the manufacturer to pay his operatives better wages, and in consequence the same operatives will be aide to pay the farmer better prices for his products. The most successful lie that was ever palmed off on intelligent people. These working men have learned that the tariff does not give them better pay, but simply enm-pells them to pay more money for the protected goods; hence they demand free raw material and a corresponding reduc tion of general tariff rates as will make lixing cheaper. These laboring men in the protected industries have discovered that instead of the tariff protecting them it is simply robbing them. The farmers, too, are beginning to see it in about the name light as the men employed in the protected industries, and we predict that the result of the next election will de monstrate the truth of this asertion.

constantly tailing behind, being oxer xx helmed xxitli debt and unable to pay. There can lie no plainer proposition than this, and to illustrate: I all farmers in the state were xxorth from fifty to one hundred and fify thousand dollars each and was loaning money-and recieving interest instead of borrow ing and paying interest lie would buy more freely, of the goods and xxares of the tradesman aud xvould pay- willingly and liberally for tiie services of the professional man. and in reuse the wages paid to the laborer upon his farm. lienee there should he no ronfliet. but eaeii is interested in the success of the xx hole ami any other feeling nr relation is fraught xvitii the greatest danger to the general public and lienee to our political fabric." In the position here taken Col.

Hallo xxell is in the right. When the farmers of Kansas are prosperous all other classes will lie prosperous. lie then states that he is in faxor of the free coinage of sil-xer and recognizing that the tariff has been a fruitful source of harm to Kansas farmers, he sums his eom-iusions in tiie folloxving xvords: Hence I am in faxor of increasing the tariff on articles of luxury, only consumed liy the rich and reducing it upon Jartides of general consumption, and on such articles as is affected so as to make it burdensome (if any) that are used hv our farmers ill producing food products for our people, if such tariff' increases the price of such article, such as farm machinery and others that are needed upon the farm. Col. Hallowell is liable to get in the right line almost at.

any time, and if he poseased the faculty of holding on to the truth xvhen he gets if he might he a valuable represenative in congress for tliisdis triet. But the prejudices of the Republican party are such that it is impossible to see the truth and remain in its shadow of ignorance. After adxocating the alioxe excellent ideas Mr. lfalloxxell looks longingly toward the flesh pots of the Republican party and says: While I do not believe that the removal of the tariff from lumber xvill cheapen it one cent to the consumer, yet I want to see the experiment tried and if it does cheapen it then let it remain on the free list. I am unalterably opposed to building up any man or set of meu at the expense of others, yet I am in favor of protection just far enough to keep out the products of the cheaply paid labor of foreign countries, and maintain or increase the wages of our skilled and other laborer in our manufacturing centers, as my judgment lias always been, that if xve could manufacture ami produce all articles we need in this country, it would so increase the number of laborerers, who are now producers of agricultural products, that our market would always be at home, and it is good markets that our people want for their lieef, pork, corn, wheat and other food supplies.

What hog-wasli? If the tariff does not raise the price of lumber to the consumer, what do the lumbermen want it for. and why- diil our government remove the tariff from lumber shipped into Chicago after the great fire in 1871 as a means of helping the people rebuild that city. And how could the tariff protect anybody unless it raised the price of lumber. The Col. says he is in favor of pri flection just far enough to keep out the products of tiie cheaply paid labor of foreign countries and maintain or increase the wages of our skilled, aud other laborer in our manufacturing centers.

How, in tiie name of common sense, is that going to help Kansas? Gixe the liianufaeturin centers our money with wich to buy our produce, that is the argument that tariff robbers liax-e been making to silly-farmers for twenty-five years. That sort of argument would be hooted in any Kansas Alliance to-dav. D. Ii. Anthony has.

for a srreat nian yoars, been a prominent citien of Kati sas, anti tlurinir all of these years he lias been a man of Intltienee in.the tr. o. j. of this state, lie has been ealled to sit in the councils of the Republican party of Kansas, anti his counsel was always supposed to be valuable to his party. A state convention of the Republican party of Kansas without H.

R. Anthony in the back ground, where the slates are made loonier and which the faithful have never failed to endorse, would lie an unheard of thing in Kansas politics. When such a scene as that is presented to the loyal prohibition Republicans of Kansas, loyal 1). R. Anthony will be spoken of as the late lamented.

Anyone will admit that, holding the position he does in the councils of the Republican party as well as in the affections of the ruling element of that party, he ought to lie able to speak with some degree of authority in reirard to the policy of the Republican party of this state. He ought to be able to give a pretty correct estimate of the men employed to execute the decrees of that party. Hon. Jim Legate is known as one of the workers in the Republican camp. When any skillful work, requiring extraordinary ingenuity and a line Italian hand, Jim Legate has, invariably, been selected by the Republican party of Kansas to do the work.

Jim gained such an enviable reputation in the execution of work, requiring extraordinary the managers of the scheme to secure deep water harlmr on the Gulf of Mexico, employed him to manage the business at the congressional end of the line. Nowhere is D. R. Anthony's estimate of the value of Jim Legate, which is taken from the Leavenworth Times of June 5: Many persons are asking the question: Why is Jim Legate in Mr. Legate is there as a member of the third house.

He is kept there by the Galveston deep harbor committee to lobby their bill through Congress. And Jim is not there sacrificing himself for love of the cause. Did any citizen of Leavenworth ever hear of Jim Legate's bein anywhere for nothing: The Galveston harlvor committee are paving him scion per month and he is to get from to $10,000 if he succeeds in getting the bill through. It seems remarkable to those who know Jim Legate that any committee should suspect him of being able to wield an influence over public men. First he must get the suport of the delegation from his own state and honest men in Kansas would naturally think that the Kansas delegation would not be moved by him.

But the Galveston harbor committee are no chumps. They know their men and they know the kind of men to get what they want. Ah! Is that the estimate you place on your Jims patriotism. Xow, Anthony, after giving r. Legate that kind of a reputation, you could perhaps let in a little light on another question that would cause your excellent paper to be read with very great interest by- a large number of people in Kansas today Do you not, good Col.

D. R. Anthony, our valued prohibition friend, remember one little incident of the presidential campaign of 1884? Do you not remember when the scale seemed to be about evenly balanced between Cleveland and Blaine, that John P. St. John appeared in the rural districts if New Fork and proceeded to deal some stalwart blows on the heads of the tariff robbers, and that the Republicans were alarmed for their party success in New York? Xow, here! listen to this, for here is the interesting part of this story: Do you not remember that about this time the whole country was informed by Associate dispatches that Senator P.

B. Plumb, of Kansas, would at once repair to Xew York to hold a council with Mr. St.John? And do you not remember that Mr. Legate, of whom you have spoken, went ahead of Mr. Plumb as a mutual friend to arrange for the meeting of Mr.

Plumb and Mr. St John: This very identical Jim Legate went in advance to blaze the way through the political forest, in order that P. B. Plumb might safely follow. And was Jim there sacrificing himself for love of the cause? Did any citizen of Leavenworth ever hear of Jim Legate being anywhere for nothing? Xow, honor bright.

Colonel, what do you think about that trip to Xew York? And do you think if that visit had proved successful that the Kansas cranks would have burned our beloved St. John in effigy- in Topeka? The people pause for an C. O. PAGE CO. Call your attention to their large of Will.

We have in America only one mill which makes linen. It has been in operation for twenty years, and no rival mill has sprung up to compete with it. Is it for the lienefit of this mill or the Flax Groxvers association that Mr. McKinley stakes a heavy increase in the duty on linen? The bill to reduce revenue raises the duty on some kinds of linen used in making cheap clothing by 200 per cent. On line goods the increase ranges from 35 to 50 per cent.

A Kansas farmer is said to have round a meteor in bis meadoxv ax liich he sold for 1,000. and lifted the mortgage on his farm, and uoxv the Kansas Democrat gravely remarks that It lias occurred to Major McKinley that he missed a great opportunity iu not placing a prohibitory-tariff on meteors. They are composed mostly of iron and Pennsylvania is inad about it." THAT IS THE POINT. When the Mills bill xvas in course of construction, protectionist newspapers invented the term dark lantern bill, and for months they rang the changes on it. This year they have nothing to say on the subject of dark lantern bills.

although Mr. McKinley and his associates have proceeded upon the dark lantern method, even to the extreme of secluding themselves in the crypt of the Capitol. Conokessman Perkins wrote a Re publican farmer in his district advising him to have all the Republicans join the Alliance so as to be aide to control it. A great many Republican farmers are following Perkin's advice, but there is no instance on record of any of them ever going to a Republican congressman for advice about anvtliing after thex- got in.

plaintiffs. Rkimikskn.xtivk Oaths, of Alabama, from the committee on the judiciary, has reported to Hie house the bill to prohibit aliens from acquiringtitle to or owning lands within the United States. Your committee has ascertained. says the report, with reasonable certainty, that certain noblemen of Europe, principally Englishmen, hax-e acquired and noxv oxvn about 21,000,000 acres of land within the United States. We have not sufficient information to state the quanity owned by aliens, nor is it so important, as it is generally held in smaller bodies.

This alien non-resident ownership will, in the course of time, lead to a system of landlordism incompatible with the interest of the free institutions of the United States. The foundation of such a system is lieiug laid broadly in the western states and territories. The axarice and enterprise of European capitalists have caused them to iux-est many millions in American railroads and land bonds, covering perhaps, 100,000,000 acres the greater part of which, under foreclosure sales will most likely before many years become the property of these foreign bondholders, in addition to their present princely possessions. This aggressive foreign capital is not confined to the lands it has purchased, but overleaping its boundaries, has caused hundreds of miles of public domain to be gix-en up to the grazing herds of cattle anil set at defiance the rights of the honest but humble settler. Thus it seems that we do not only require protection against European labor, but something must be done to prevent foreign paupers from acquiring title to our land.

It would be a bad state of affairs if after many years of protection xve should be the tenants of free trade England. There are no doubt laboring people in England in destitute circumstances as well as in this country, and in that country as well as in this or xvherever a laboring man is found to be in destitute circumstances, his destitution is always attributable to one cause: he has not receix-ed the product of his own labor. In England the few are permitted to rob the many by a system of laud rents and in this country by a tax system. It makes but little difference to the producer of xvealth by what system his products are taken whether by a rent or tax system or whether it is confiscated by a superior force of men banded together for the purpose of robbery, the result is the same. All xvealth is produced by labor and there is not perhaps a man in this whole country so unsophisticated as to suppose for one minute that these foreign millionaries, who are buying large tracts of land in this country, earned their millions.

The object of legislature instead of hax-ing to gixe the fexv of the earnings of the many should guard any mans right to the product of his own labor. Nothing will ever be accomplished by this bill unless it will be to compel a few sons of English millionaries to become residents of this country. Who will be benefited by that? If a few men are to acquire title to large tracts of land in this country and tax future generations for the privilege of subsisting upon it, the people who are robbed will be but little benefited by hax-ing the roblier acquire citizenship in this country.

II Vl.l I l.l lit VI lil KtH l. 21 Plaintiff's Attorncvs. When speaking on the sil-er coinage bill last week, Senator John Sherman, of Ohio, stood by tiie cause that has made him popular in the Republican party, and has made him, on several occasions, a formidable candidate for the presidency before Republican conx-entions. He. stood squarely by the interest of the eastern money sharks and against xx-estern inter-esrts.

Mr. Sherman said that he xvould vote for any measure that xvould in his judgment, secure and maintain a bi-metalic standard and one that xvould not demonetize gold or cause it to be hoarded or exported, but that would establish both gold and silver as a common standard at a fixed ratio, not only in the United States, but in all the nations of the world. This was no time for a radical change of public policy which seemed to have no n.otix-e except to reduce the burden of obligation freely taken, a change that was likely- to impair the publie credit and produce disorder and confusion in all monetary-transactions. Mr. Sherman thinks this no time to reduce the burden of obligation freely- taken.

Right here is the point to this whole silx-er coinage business. John Sherman aud every Republican in congress, who are voting against every measure looking to the free coinage of silver. Aery xx ell know that it would lighten the burden of every matt in the country who has a mortgage on his farm or city- home. And that is the x-ery- reason that Senator Sherman and his Republican colleagues oppose any measure that will have a tendency to increase the volume of money- in circulation. This is no time, (Mr.

Sherman thinks, to reduce the burden of Obligation freely- taken. Our impression is that the present is exactly the time ax lien some measure, haA-ing for its object the reduction of the burden of obligation assumad by the people, ought to become a law. Mr. John Sherman and the Republican party secured some legislation after the close of the war that very materially increased the burden of obligations freely taken by the people. There was nothing said about conscience then.

John Sherman nor any other Republican in is ingress, that Ave noAV remember, rose in his place to declare that this is no time for a radical change. That was just the time for a change because the change was in the interest of the creditor class. Now, when it is proposed to do something for the debtor class, it is not the time. The people are gradually' becoming better educated and the time is not A ery far distant when some xvestern members of congress of r. John Sherman's way of thinking will lie gix-en a leave of absence from the halls of legislation for the purpose of alloxx ing them to take a rest.

General Rosser, it is said, noxv claims that General Lee xvould not have surrendered at Appomattox if he had foreseen the horrors of reconstruction. The reason that Lee did not foresee was probably due to the fact that Grant did not give him time to consider the matter before compelling hint to surrender. Grant had a very unplesant way of pressing his demand for surrender, that did not allow much time for looking into the future. (First Publication May ir, isoo.) Sheriff's Sale.

Chitty, Plaintiffs Attorney. 17 The Farmers Alliance last Tuesday put a ticket in the field that in some respects is a good one and in other respects is not a good one. The principal quail fication seems to be that the candidate should be a farmer. Xo attention whs paid to fitness. Judge Atwood who was nominated for county attorney is an old respected citizen of this county.

As man, nothing can be said against him, but the very fact that he many years ago quit the practice of law is proof sufficient that he is not now qualified to fill the important position of count' attorney. Judge Atwood would hax-e made a good probate judge, if the convention, had seen fit to nominate him for that position. While we knoxx- nothing against the nominee for probate judge, as a citizen, we do not hesitate to say that in our opin ion he is not the man for the office of probate judge in this county. Sedgwick county ought to have for county attorney-one of the best lawyers in the county, and for probate judge we need a man, not only of unquestionable integrity, but a man having some qualifications for the position. Mr.

Ayers for circuit clerk aud Mr. Heudee for superintendent are good selections. Both these men are undoubtedly qualified for the positions to which they aspire. Of the nominees for representatives xve will hax-e something to sax- hereafter. Some of the planks, like those declar- ing in favor of economy and against class legislation, are pure bunkum, and those concerning the Montana senators, the Ship Subsidy bill, and the removal of all unnecessary restrictions from the coinage of silver cut no figure in a state election.

As to the choice of the senators by the people, it cannot be done without an amendment to the United States constitution, and there is little likelihood of that. Chicago Tribune. The platform here referred to, is the one adopted by the Democracy of Illinois in their convention at Springfield last week. To favor economy in government and to denounce class legislation may appear to a Republican editor to I mere bunkum, but the great mass of people who do the voting and pay the taxes are reasonably certain to conclude that there is something else besides bunkum in all this. The removal of all unnecessary-restrictions front the coinage of silver does cut some figure in the Illinois state election, because the Democrats have nominated John M.

Palmer for United States senator and have pledged every Democrat elected to the legislature to vote for him. Ifelected. John M. Palmer will have something to say about the removal of all unnecessary restrictions from the coinage of silver. As for the election of United States senators by the people, if the Democrats of Illinois elect a majority of the legislature pledged to Palmer, he will be virtually elected by the people and he will be jiledged to submit an amendment to the constitution that will allow the people to vote direct for senators in after elections.

It seems to be the policy of the Republican party, everywhere, to impress on the minds of the people that they are powerless to help themselves. From a correspondent of the Sedgwick Pantagrapli we learn that the fast driving engaged in by farmers on the river bottoms west of that place is not for the purpose of speeding their horses, but that they are simply try ing to out run the stench coming from the open sewer of the creamery. If the farmers in that section who drive fast when passing the Sedgwick creamery sewer, would come down here and drive along Chisholm creek into which our packing house sewers empty, they would do more than drive fast; they would join the birds. The course of the Republican party iu the present congress, has comitted that party to high tariff and anything that will render money scarce and dear.
