congross supplies him with an otfleinl

At your expense. If you should go
through those official reports, page by

which would astonish you. Yon would

they niav be shared inside tho capltol

No revenue to the people
oines from the investment. Several
hoiuaml dollars of your money is sim-
ily squandered in order that a lazy
talesman may have a convenience.
Turning tho leaves of this pamphlet
ou will lie surprised to nnd how
maiiv curious directions your money
taken. You find yourself paying ilen-
Burmeistcr $25 every month for
inding up the senate clocks! And
.j the time you catch your breath af-
er this item, you tiud yourself paying
Henrv $123 m a lump, for repairing
undry clocks. (See page 129, senate
report.) Then you lind \oursclt pay-
ing |800 for a marble bust of Chester
A Arthur. Then Henry Burineister
■fets hard up again, and you pay him
fftO lor winding thi< clocks in tho sen-
ile chamber ' from Jan. 1, to Feb. 29.
1892. You find yourself buying 4,901)
pounds of ice in January, and a likt
mount in February; aud >ou begin
i tremble to think how much ice the
cnate will want when summer comes.
At this stage of the game, Henry
Jurmeister rolls up again and de-
ua'ids (26 for winding the clocks ol
he senate from March 1, to March 81,
1892. To cool yourself off after pa_v-
ng a man .HI per day for winding two
looks, vou whirl In aud buy 59,881
loiinds'of ice: 59,000 lbs. of ice for less
han 100 senators during March, 1892!
hat nukes 590 pounds for each, foi
.month. Divide 890 by the number
of working days, and you have tnore
han 20 pounds of ice each senator con-
timed in a winter mouth. The senate
arely sits more than four hours per
' Hence each senator, according
the official report, made away will
two pounds of ico each hour! In the
winter at that. (See page 137, report
secretary of senato 1892.)
Recovering yourself as well as you
an, proceed to page 141 and see your-
,elf paying the inevitable Henry $2
for winding tho senate clocks during
he month of April. In looking ovei
the report you constantly find your
elf buying committee room furniture
egardiess of cost. On page 64, yon
pay for one chair for the comuiittce on
District of Columbia $65. Enough to
'tiruish a modest cottage Another
hair for the same committee costs
oil $45 For another committee
oom vou pay $32 for one chair, aud
*75 for a lounge! No wouder you
statesmen are lazy, it costs you I177.

$355 for another. Oue Smyrna rug
cost vou $23;a Brussels rug $76; anoth

committee cost you $75; the pillow foi
said couch $3-50. Dear me! Tht

;rs of the newspapers cost yon $220.
Tho seiiato committee on agricul
ture carpeted their room at a cost to
you of $192. Committee on public
iauds struck you for $322 for a carpet
-Kicretary's room cost you (for carpet;

A nio6t un

jno-'i 97, you buy these laborious seua
Lore $166 worth of lemons, upollinarit
vaier, and Babbitt's soap. On pagt
95, is another bill of $110.75 for lemons
iud appollinarlsi also one of $91.52 fo
,eni 11s, appollinaris and 304 pound
granulated sugar-. Then a third bill
of $15 for tame articles, same pag
1 litis reaching tho sum of $217 which
you spent in July 1890 to cool youi
statesmen in the senate. With lest
than 100 senators to cooh even wore
they all present^ it would seem that
$217 per mouth was liberal euough.
Which inelqdes among its items 1 china
bowl, 6 lemon knives, \ strainers, 1
sugar scoop, 2 covered sugar howls, 2
ladies, 6 sugar spoons, 6 lemon squeez-

Enough to buy ulid stock a big plan
tation. Going from pi ue to page oi
their reports you find unlimited towels
soap charged up to you; on page 114
the report of 1892 you pay out $144
for soap at one bounce, Then you
pay $20 for ''one chamois skin, large
elected." The senate selected, you
nid. Then comes $81 for brushes;
(22 for more brushes; $108 for more
brushes; then $6.90; $16.60; llwu $57,
then $49-all for brushes in June 1892.
Not a good mouth for dust, either,
hen $25 for nail brushes. Then
omes cologne, bay rum, alcohol, can
ter oil. quiuine, amonia, neat's foot oil
and gum camphor; then comes $49 foi

blacking and blacking brushes; $12
for more alcohol; $193 for sponges, $6
for more soap, aud $7.40 for pond-lillj
ash; and $12 for Brown's ginger.
This one bill of goods lor the barbel
hop cost more than $1,300 for which
ouget no return whatsoever. Any
law for 1 Ins? None! The reports
show that not only is the pay roll
packed and crowded with unnecessary
employees, but that at Ihe end of every
ession congress gives tha entire loi
one month's extra pay. This amounts
to nearly one hundred thousand dollars
I notice lu going over those items
of expenditure that one of the report-

that when a policeman, or clerk dies,
several hundred dollars are iuvarinbly

F.ditoii Lkadkiii—In looking over
he Republican of July 27, I notice an
irtiele entitled) u\ Texan's Views."
t seems to me thai some people think
it a good doeil well paid for makes
hero of a man. So Dennis Flynn is
hero because ho has done what the
leoplc paid lilni for doing. It I hire a
111.11 lo work for me I expect linn to
lo just what I ask him to do, Just as
Tvim has done, and as long as I think
will do it, just that long he can
ork for mo, But if his actions show
that ho will do mo harm if he gots a
banco, he must go- By Flynn's ac-
inus, sticking to a party that is try-
n" lt> rob the people, ho shows that if
begets a chance he will rob the people.
,et us see how it is with Ralph Ueau-
nont. Wo find him, as he has been
for years, liard at work for the laboring
pooplo, aud the best interests of Okla-
10111a. For a-as tie not one of the men \
o get Oklahoma opened up to settle-
neill. "Flynn's record Is before tlie
leoplc," says the Republican. That is
rue and we' flml a few had blots too,
lleauinonts record is before the people
and we find it without a stain; a bea-
011 to suffering humanity.
Flynn's record 18 mouths, Beau-
nout's record over 18 years. Which
ill we take? Ill the last paragraph
ive find the following: " I'lio glittering
hemes of Populism." They glitter
because they are line gems, and not
kc the glittering theories of Rcptib-
icanisin—Paste, Again, the teachings
ifits (PopUlisnm) doctrines have Bli-
the red flag of anarchy—this is false.
It is the cruel heel of greud on the par
of monopoly that is causing the strikes
of today which so many like to call
••anarchy." A very little study
will show that the leaders ol the strik-
,and the leaders of Populism arc
not the same persons. Once more they
,aj "the Populists" liavo ousted the
progress of the nation, stagnated bus-
iness, paralyzed commerce, anil
