Twenty-dye vears ago in many western states the current rate of interest was 20 per cent where it does not exceed! 8 or 1 0. Yet, that money ' is of greater , yalue in those statesnow than it was , then, is demonstrated by the! fact that $8 or $10 wilVbny more of la bor's products now than . $20 would hare bought then.-i National ' Erono- ' mint. .-. ; ': The fact that Kansas is producing magnificent crojs this year is uo rea son why her people should shut) their eyes to the different systems that rob Tthem of: the fruits of their totf. ' The Lord helps them to help them selves, and he cannot be expected to help Kansas to good crops evevy. year no long as her people submit to these interest and taxation roberies.

Then this i dea is carefully " considered and understood, the fnlj significance of what is intended by the term cheap dollar, or dear dollar, will pe kuowu in its true sense. For example, in 1.870. pork sold in Mich igan fur ten dollars per. 100 pounds In 1889 it sold for four dollars per l.OO.pouuds. It required just as much labor to raise a bushel of corn in 1889 as it did in 1890. It took as much corn iu lS8g to make a pound of pork as it did hi 1890. . People should not conclude there is no tariff question- in this country simply because the two "old. parties occupy the one extreme' on the prob lem. There is a tariff qnestion, and thOse who believe in human liberty are as much opposed ; to a tariff for taxation as for protection. Any sys tem of taxation that falls as heavily upon the man. who depends entirely upon his day's labor for bread,!cloUi ing and shelter as it does upon the man who owns millions of weal th, is unjust. Its as unjust to raise rev enue for the support of the govern ment by a tax oii necessaries of life, as it would be to raise it by a jkjII tax. Omaha -7 wain. i , - j.-' . ' ..- I.

Nothiug is said of the women and children who suffered by reason of thr sudden loss of pay to their husbands and; fathers, but it it is a safe estimate that they could not have been less thau 300, 000. j ' 1 : The Tendency T tie TlMfs. ilanj devoted Christinns nowa days incline to the belief that man may have been evolved from the brute, through niyrrads of physical transformations running' through countless thousands of years. They hold iheroielve8 to be in no sense in Cdel in accepting this belief , because it may have betm God's , slow bat orderly way of u creating spiritual children, who after long cycles of educational experience in the beast flesh should at last become schooled and emancipated, and not only know and love their creator and father, but likewise have consciousness of their own immortal souls, their eter nal growth and progress, and their unuviDg destiny. The people of America have been steadfast in the faith that they were tbe last and : highest-born of time, If there werjp any children of GJ favored above all others of earth, it surely was those of the United States in the last half of the nineteenth centnry. Not only were, they the ' occupants of the richest land in the. gave to the individual unfettered op portunities in the way" of - self-help and material upbuilding. But tbe crowning glory and blessing: qf the residents of America was in the full sunlight of religious klowledge which streamed perennially down upou them, The benign and exalted teachings of Jesus Christ were re peated from 100,000 pulpits' and believed by 12,000,000 devout com municants, and the summed up es sence of the faith jras: Man must drive out the inherited tiger in him and )ecome gentle as the lamb. With a professed Christian atiget ish bloodthirstiness becomes moustro us, and proves that he is going hell ward and-not toward the land that is fairer than dry. We truthfully af firm that 'the United States is a Christian nation because a large ma jority ot its citizens subscribe to the: tenets of that religion which gives character' and color to many of their most important social institutions and ? observances. Itfmay be remarked, however, that an abstract belief can exist in the human mind and yet be squarely contradicted by the physical passions aud deeds. The Christian people of America as a body in one particu lar presentation, of character show precisely such an anjouinly to-day. The religious creed they profess in most solemn and emphatic ' man ner inculcates the practice of mercy pity and tenderness, aud reprobates in blasting words all cruelty and blood-thirstiness..; The alleged -Jhrist3ans are in over- wneiiuing comma 1 i ud in this republic I ailU UOPOMtlCal V&TIV WOU IU (181 j Place .Bob . Ingeraoll itr nomination for any great ofhee. No president of the .fni ted States elected by his own patty has ever had the hardi hoood to appoint this man of sterling honestly, unquestioned, patriotism aud pre-eminent ability, to a cabinet or judical posicion. It is an established fact that a vowed iufidels cannot secure official place in the ruling of this nation. This circumstance shows how rigid and unbending is our orthodoxy when mere theory of belief is invol ved. , ' Now let us turn to an appalling exhibition of ite practical nullifica in a field where secretarial! bigotry bad no chance for expression. . During the last two months the newspapers of the country have been made brisk and fascinatingly reada ble by information, news items and minute details of the doings of a crowd of professional fighters who were to take part in a great gladito rial show to be given at New Orleans in the first part of September. As the time for that series of combat came near an - increasing number of ; columns were given to chronicling all the incidents and gossip relating thereto. r And when the bloody fights tiieui3elves at last took place a great er amount of newspaper space was given to telling the ferocious story of them than was yielded up to the ac counts of the presidential conten tions at Minneapolis, Chicago and i Omaha. , othing 1 ike that gladitorial tour nament ever occii red in this country before. Up to fifteen years ago fistic Combats justly came under the head of crimes agaiust law, order aud mor ality. They were fought out iu ob sen re nooks, in the wk!s, and the spectators as a rule were' from the professional criminal class. But of lute the prize fight has ceased to be an ou tia wed sport. It-has uow irome under the protection of law, and is supervised by the official servauts of society, us arc the. bull fights of Spain aud Mexico, and as weie the Coloi scum combats in the days of the Caesars. i In New Orleans asiu san Francis co, the richest and most influential citizens organized themselves into irreatand wealthy corporations, and If ut up vast buildings for the sole pur ose of promoting fierce aud blood v bghts between men. That this has been done, and done practically without rebuke from the religious eople of this nation, pro ves conclusively that our republic is on the terrible downgrade to a moral savagery such -as obtained in cruel Rome 1800 years ago. Con Id an energized Christian sentiment- on the part of our pro fessed believers acting through them as through one mighty indignant body have made that h llisfi saturn alia of blood impossible? " Now that that this carnival of demons is over, can the late-awakened m nsil'ilitifs of of millions of avow- a ' jedlv pious pejde render the recur- rence of . such an infamous event ntterir and xorever out or to ones ton? " ; ; - - ' . ; . " For answer we will furn to tbe columns of the great daily newspa pers, which defend and appmve pin tocratic ggreMioo and platocratic oppression. Daring the late strike ia Home stead .and Baffalo these powrrfa ioarnals were continually adiaowish Ing the workibgmen with; 'Be ware that you offend not public sen timent by your acts, because in tbe United 'States public sentiment is omnipotent. Its will is law it is the supreme autocrat of the repub lic -and neither laws, institutions or bodies of men dare to question its absolute antboritv. and its desire becomes an accomplished fact by its mere notation. Thus rreat and a) 1- i-ommanding is oar American pub- hc sentiment beware that ye pro voke uot its snub by rata opposition ice it will swiftry coosume tbee. v We accept this plutocratic pronnn ciameoto without reaerracaon, be cause we believe it te be true in word and letter. Hence it follows that Christian public sentiment counte nances the barbaric epidemic of pnzc ngnung that is now raging throngb tbe countrv. Aye, more than that! it not only ooenlr toler ates the moral saragery but secretly approves, delights- is, mmI gloats ovr, its bloody details. There uao neutrality possible to a-Cfcrittia ut the ureseuceof aeTTia-r - tin failure to condemn and put tit down, to the extent of his power, is appror ai ol it, and can be nothing else. Suppose the public sentiment of our millions of professed Christians had been earnestly and unrelentingly agaiust those prise tights what would nave happened? Ministers would hare thundered 5 gainst the sin of them from a huu red thousaud pulpits. ; and in the name of the most high God would have demanded and compelled their congregations to take absolute action mat snouia ue u tne last limit re pressive of them. The president of the republic would have been so me morialized by millions of indiguant Christians that he would have promptly stepped above man's law if it were necessary in order to compel obedience to God's law. The outraged Christians of tbe nation would have so thundered their anathemas against tbe officials of Louisiana and of. New Orleans . that they would have trembled with ter ror, and promptly put down the bloody orgies, whether within the let ter of the law or outside of it, Un der the pressure of a righteous pub lic sentiment tnat, was national in in ' scope, the fovertior would have called a special session of the legislature, and stamped out such atrocious exhibition by law. 'The great daily newspapers of the nation get their main;' support from the influential aud well-to-do Chris tian middle class of the country. Its inei chants and tradesmen buy their advertising columns, from that im portant class. The demand of these Christian oeoDle inexorably detenu iue how those journals shall be edit ed, that appears in their columns. Hence when we see a page given up to the report ot a pnxe ngbt, we know tnat this is so because the Christian readers desire to read the bloody details of tbe combat. This tact has been so declared by the pa pers editorally again and again, and lias never been denied. If these food Christian readers wished to ave the depraving recital of these fights kept out how easily it could be accomplished The advertising Christians could threaten to with draw their patronage . from offend ing sheets and loyal Christians could refuse to buy them. All daily newspapers are run strict ly as money-making enterprises and every inteligent persons knows that this radical treatment would keep their columns free from tbe satatiic details of these bloody prise fights. Vet it is not done, and solely because professed Christians . delight to read these tales f cembats that show forth mau's primeval savagery. . As before stated there has been an amazin? revival of prize fiebtinr ia recent years, and the moralist is at no loss to account for the circum stance. It has grown with the rise of ou f atheistic plu tocracy. A erase after material riches has possessed the people, aud w hile remaining Christians in verbal profession they have become Pagans in the ruling impulses of their lives. They have from tbe spiritual mountain tops where it is the sweet sunshine and pure air of God's etrnal virtue, dowij into dark and noisome valleys where they live the life of the flesh. Moses may be still on Sinai's height communing with Jehovah but his profligate people have return ed to the worship of the golden calf. The toleration of these diabolical prize fight by Chutians brands them as apostates to Jesus Christ and to! their treason cannot go unpunished. They sin not in ignorance but vio late the law of God which they well know. Oar Fayartte Aapte4 fern. ' Dhkago TritaM. When Mr. Chauncy Depei to Chicago4 four years ago ha was can mate for tbe presidential nation, with the New Tork delegates behind him. But he learned 'speedi ly there was a prejudice in the west, which was insurmountable, even if un justifiable against making a rail read I man president, i The farmers of the prairie like Depew personally, bat they fancied they saw the Vaader hilts behind him seeking to get hold " . - i andootisolidate with ntral. v Mr. Depew yielded to the inevita ble though without a pang. But while renouncing his dream of the highest place in the couutry be laid hands upon another which certainly ranks next to it, and which in some respect is more enviable. Unable to be president himself, be became a president-maker ,a republican War wick. Four years ago he made Mr. Harriaon the nominee, and having had no cause to be dissatisfied with i j? t i . - ... . nil handiwork, he went to Minneap olis last week and gave him tbt nom ination a second time. Whether he has looked far enough in the future to decide on whose bead he will place the crown four years hence is doubtfuL ' If he has, curious world wouia nice to know who is to be in the White House from 1897 to 1901 , Some individuals may be inclined to smile at the idea that the pres cient of a New York railroad can govern the actions of conventions and select the ruler of a great repub lic Mr. Depew has, however, many engaging qualities which give him influence wherever he goes. He ha a distinct and impressive personal ity when he rises to address a public meeting, and he commands atten tion, lie has an amiable disposi tion and a well cultivated mind. As a speaker be is probably without a Serin the United States for he un rstaiwi that the object of true or- Latory is first to convince aud then to persuade; so be is careful not to ir ritate or to offend those whose sup port he is seeking. Mr. Depew is probably the most popular mau in tbe TJuited States (unless Mr. Blaiue be excepted) and everybody likes to agree with him and vote with him, if possible, when be asks for it But bis power as a mau and an or ator is uot all tbt must be consid ered when the sources of his success are to be examined. He has a place in the commercial ; world that, ena bles him to put his finger on tbe nerves of the greatest industrial or ganizations of the couutry. To learn the basis of Mr. Depew s strength, aside from hi personal qualities, all that is necessary is to study the map of the northern part of the United States, from Boston to Chuvenne. The observer will find in" New York some black lines mdicatiug the Cm traL Hudson Kiver, West Shoie, m m . .. - - Harlem and other roads. He will find in New England the Boston & Albany aud the New York & New Haven roads. When the controlling spirit of this great system favors the nomination of , a j particular person by a convention, the delegiteSehosen from the ' districts through .which these roads run are pretty likely to be influenced by that person. Tio pressure is exerted ou the work men in the railroad shops, engineers, firemen, or laborers. They do as they please before and after 'election. But the subordinate officers, the lo cal attorneys, of whom there are so many, the numerous politicans who are so pleased to be on good terms with a great road which can reward those who assist it, are all riven to understand the policy which has been decided on. This vast army of agents, working quietly and systematically in great cities like New York and Boston and in the rural districts, has that enor tubus power which disciplined and harmonious intelligence can exert when it pleases. It is difficult . to over estimate the power of such a machine to secure results. The study of the .map should not end at linnalo. .Between there and Chicago, are the 'Lake shore, the Nickel-Plate and the Michigan Cen- rah The "Big-Four" stretches down into Uhio and spreads out into Icdi ana and Illinois. West of Chicago the Northwestern system extends into Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Min nesota,1 Nebraska, and South Dakota- The Northwestern is a Vanderbilt road.1 It has its attorney in every county, and station agents at every village and town. 'After looking at the mileage of tbe road it is easier to see why the states mentioned above should have given Mr. Harrison, be cause; Mr. Depew so desired it, ninety-six; out of their 122 votes. In a case where great corporations ike the Pullman company, for in stance, whose interests are intimately associated with those ot the railroads choose to assist them, they can exert a persuasive influence which is not to be despised.' But the lion's share of the work is done by the railroads t is not drawing it too strong to say that for each mile of track the Van derbilt system has an intelligent, energetic subordinate who will obey instructions and will generally suc ceed in doing what is expected of him. Sd when tbe president-maker of New York decides whom he is to put in the White House he has under his control machinery which enables him to scoop in delegates from the Bock Mountains to the1 ocean. This is a great deal of power for one man to wield, but as long as Mr. Depew uses it as wisely as has done hitherto no one ought to grumble. Ii Far the right WjHTAKBas, N. C.mh Sept. '92. Ed.
