Fik-t Ai'.OLisn Land Monotoly. iiy means of a graduated tax on ex cessive holdings sufficiently in city or country to prevent land being bought for hipe-julation, or permanently held for rent. This would give all the com ' petent an opportunity to labor, secure homes and become better citizens. Second Supply Money at Cost. T5y amending the law which now re quires our government to loan money to bankers on bonds at one per cent so that loans on small landed estates Lvv tr the extent of half their cash value can be obtained at the same rate. Tmui Supply Transportation at Cost. By authorizing our government to gradually purchase the railroads and manage them in the interest of the en tire people, as the postofiice is now conducted. Gorernment should be au thorized to construct competing lines when existing roads refuse to sell at what it would cost to build and equip equally good roads. The declared object of our National Constitution is to establish justice. .Justice gives every one ihe opportunity for productive labor and the full pro duct of his industry. The above three basic principles of .political economy, with efficient police protection, will secure substantial jus tice to all "the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." These united measures surely under mine the foundation of plutocracy, class rule and class legislation; because in modern civilization all class privi leges and tyranny are based on land monopoly, money monopoly and trans portation monopoly. These measures are both conserva tive and radical. They conserve lib erty a-id strike directly at the root of tvranny. They convert wealth frum a cruel discriminating tyrant, to an im partial and universal friend, without confiscation or interference with vested rights. They encourage all useful productive enterprise, and discourage monopolist and speculative enterprise.. They aid helpful competition and social co-operation, and check destructive competition and social antagonism. They give man the individual and so cial liberty he has ever been seeking and demanding, but has never found. They give the individual full liberty to maintain individualism, and the social ist the same liberty of social co-operation for the test of socialism. They give rational libertj to all, and repress only the vicious and tyrannical. Their spirit and tendency is expansive, not repressive optimistic, not pessi mistic. The Knights of Labor, the Farmers' Alliances, and other labor unions, and a large majority of the American peo ple, are in favor of these three meas ures of political economy, and are di vided 0,1 all other new measures. Then, education and union on this basis is the only line of action by which we can soon and peacefully attain the end desired The emancipation of LABOR FR03I THE TYKANNY OF CAPI TAL, which end also involves the , EMANCIP ATION OF THE DEBTOR CLASS FROM THE TYRANNY OF THE CREITOR CLASS. It is only minor side issues that de lay uus union, some of us want to add to this platform, prohibition- Mb. ?rs free trade or tariff reform; ntw more tariff protection; others exclusion ot foreign immigration, &c, thus di viding our forces and neutralizing our strength; ana while' the power of capi tal is concen rating and becoming more "SSOSE'X ?F 7. ?re giving neailj all our strength to agitation and denudation, and little to united effect ive work for emancipation. Now in the present crisis, let us con centrate all our political strength on these three cardinal measures, and agree to accept the present national status on all other political issues till the primary object is attained. This attainment would produce such general abundance, prosperity, content ment and social harmony, that possi bly none would feel the need of more individual, political or social rights, or of more repressive measures. The liquor seller might find it more agreeable and profitable to engage in productive industry. The toper might lind so much stimulus in the new op portunities to gain wealth, knowledge, and perform honorable use, that he would not feel the need of alcohol to stimulate him to action or drown his sorrows. Woman's opportunities and useful actiVities might be so immensly enlarged that she would cease to feel it a duty to engage in political strife to right her wrongs . or expand her ample held of action and social use. The state socialist might find we had got all he had expected from state socialism; and the anarchist more than all the liberty he had dreamed of by the aboli tion of all government. And the great capitalist would surely find v he had gained a social security and peace that compensated a hundred fold for the frequent doubling of his money and possessions, by oppressive rent and in terest. Let all the friends of justice, liberty. and productive industry, unite on this platform to elect the next congress in 181)0. In whatever party we are work ing, let us seek to nominate representa tives pledged to make these three measures first and dominant in con gress, and if the party nominations do not succeed, make an independent nom ination. Then vote for the man so pledued, by whatever party nominated. If all the friends of these measures will so unite, we can elect the next congress without forming any new party. Brothers and fellow citizens' In the name of the Lord, for humanity, let us unite and prove the practical efficien cy of these constitutional, conservative, republican and democratic measures the rational application of Christianity and the Golden Kule. And the God of Justice and Mercy will bless us; and all nations will rise, call us blessed, and follow our example. The crisis calls for Union! Union!! Union!!! 1 I. X. LEONARD DECLINES. The following letter of I. X. Leonakd .should hae been inserted last week. Though rather late now, it is too good to loose: Oak Precinct. Lancaster County, Neb., Oct. 12. Ivlit. Ym. Decker Your favor of Oct. 11 reached me. to-day, conveying to me the first information I have had informing me that I had been nominat ed for the office of register of deeds by the union labor convention held in Lin coln October 10. Notwithstanding, while fully appreciating the unsolicited honor of being named as one of the-standard-bearers of a considerable portion of the electors of the couuty, I most respect fully decline the nomination, for the following reason: I am out of partisan politics until there is a concentration of the reform elements to be found in the prohibition, union labor and other labor organizations, believing as I do that the perpetuity of our cherished free instu tions can only be maintained by the organization of a comprehensive third party embracing all reform elements. A thoughtful non-partisan can no longer look to either of the two dominant par ties for the legislation our country so much needs. They were not organized to fit the present commercial and indus trial situation. And history is but re peating itself that political parties never rise above or go beyond t he purpose that brought them out. The democratic party has not originated and carried out a single measure in the past forty years worthy of its great name; neither has the republican party originated and car vied out a single measure in the past twenty years worthy of its great name and illustrious founders and early lead ers, but both are owned and controlled by bloated millionaires of the nation, in the interest , of trusts and combines, which are more bitter and galling in their nature than many of the burdens inflict ed by monarchs upon their subjects. Respectfully, I. N. Leonard. Look Out For a Wreck. (J kant, Neb, Oct. 31. 188'.). Editor Alliance:. If gold ever was the right basis for a medium of ex change it must have been when it was first adopted as such in the days of hoe, hand loom and such product ion, and nude and camel transportation; and it must have been too slow for that plodding ago. Of course it is a very healthy basis even now for those who control it, but very unhealthy for the man who has to ex change farm produce for it. It simply means slavery to the masses in this age of the world. It is the duty of every finance reformer to try and" demon strate to those men in the east who are voting themselves out of their homes md into slavery that the remedy for hard times does not lie in tariff reform nor western emigration; that it is to their interest to vote to remain where they are, for the skirmish line of emi gration has gone far in advance of the rain belt and region for profitable farm ing. The chattel and real estate mort gage i-eeords will abundantly prove the truth of these statements. How much more just and reasonable it would be for the government' to loan those pio neers money at a rate of interest and on such time as would permit them to pro vide for themselves a comfortable home, than to ' an it to banks or give insol vent railroads a further extension of fifty or a hundred years in which to plunder our people. Our finance and transportation system is bringing the producers of this country down to a level with those of the old world at the rate of a lightning express on a down grade with a full head of steam and brakes off. Look out for a wreck. Yours truly, J. I?. OSLEK. Saunders Co. Alliance Meeting. The Saunders County Farmers' Alli ance will meet at , Ithaca on Nov. 16.

Chairman Abbott, of the Western States Passenger associ ation, to-day sent out a circular letter to members of his associat'n containing the following from Judge Cooley, chair man of the inetr-state commerce com mission: "Object lessons are apt to be the most impressive teachers, and what is taught thereby is most certain to be re membered and acted upon. I desire U, call your attention, and through you the attention of your associates, to the question whether the railroads of the country are not giving 'the public an object lesson which is certain to im press the public mind that regular pas senger rates are altogether too. high. In imposing such rates it is of course assumed that the rates are prescribed as a reasonable compensation for the ser vice actually performed for those who are to pjy them. But has not the public abundant reason for believing that con siderable numbers of persons are all the while being improperly carried free, the cost of their carriage tending necessari ly to keep up the usual rate charged to those who pay? This, however, is not the part of the lesson to which I wish most particularly to call attention now. The extraordinary manner in which the privilege to give excursion rates is abused is a much greater wrong to those who pay the customary rates than is even the proper free transportation. That privilege must be exercised as the law contemplates without wronging any one, because it would tend to create a business for special occasions that would not, otherwise exist, and the cost of which would be more than met by the returns. But that it is improperly exe cised when the excursion rates only tend to cut the regular rates is unques tionable. Moreover, you cannot fail to know that excursion tickets in great quantities are issued with an under standing, expressed or implied, that the condition of issue shall not be enforced, and that they, or at least the return part thereof, may be used instead of regular tickets, the consequence being that jpon the same trains there are-persons at all times to be found, some of whom have paid for their passage twice or more than twice as much as others, though neither in law or morals is there reason for any difference The public sees that, as incidental to this method of conducting the business of transporting persons by rail, the carriers furnish sup port and the opportunity for large pro fits to a considerable number of persons in all sections of the country in a busi ness that ought not to exist at-all the business known as that of ticket broker or scalper. Sometimes these persons are made use of directly as a means of cutting rates, more often indirectly, whereby the same end is accomplished. But whether used directly or indirectly the effect upon the traveling public is the same the cost of supporting them and their business falls upon the public, and their profits tend to keep rates ex cessive. In view of these facts the following questions naturally arise: 1. When the railroad companies thus distinctly give the public to understand that their regular rates are more than a fair remuneration for the services per formed for those who pay them, why should not the fact be stated with equal distinctness by the commission in its official communications'? 2. If persons charged the regular rates should complain of them as excessive, and bring out the facts above stated a3 proof, how would the railroad compa nies undertake to show that complaint to be not well taken? Very respectfully yours. Thomas M. Cooley, Chairman." The abeve remarkabe letter has called out more comment than any yet issued by Chairman Cooley in his oiilical capa city. In the mam the comments are to the effect that the commission is right in stirring up the unmitigated evil re fered to in Judge Cooley's letter. It kis put a continued slight on the com mission, and of which Chairman Cooley :ias often spoken m vain. Adverse comments are as thick as the favorable ones, some especially savage outbursts being heard in regard to the commission attending to its own purposely delayed buisness. The letter has already crea ted a profound impression, and is more than likely, if threats are to be believed, o lead to an outbreak which will end n a determined effort on the part of he roads to prove the unconstitutional ity of the inter-state commerce act. Tire Earth Belongs to the Living. Kcv. H. L. Wayland,!). !., editor of the National Bapist, has an article in the last Independent entitled "The Dead Hand."' The subject of the article is the right of a man to so bequeath his property as to virtually control it after le is dead. Dr. YV ayland holds that it is unjust xo permit sucii oequests to stand. lie says: I apprehend there is no right of abso ute ownership. Each generation re ceives a great deal from the generation which precedes it; its possessions are a trust under the will ot the past genera tion to oe transmiuea to tne geneia- ion following. Each generation is but a life tenant. It has no fee simple. And much of the value of the proper y held by the generation of to-day is really given by the generation which is to come. The railroad of to-day is valu able largely because fitty years from to day men will use it and will pay for the use of it. The bond due in 1930 owes half its value to the fact that the next generation will pav the coupons. "We enrich the last generation (unconsci ous benefactors) before we were. The amount of gratitude - due from each generation to the following, the sum of the debt we owe to posterity , has never been adequately considered. Still more, suppose that a founder ot the last century left certain land for a certain purpose. That land derives all its present value from the labor of the men of to-day. Without this labor it would be valueless. Again, in an em inent degree all its increase in value comes from the labor of to-day. The land which went begging at $2 an acre is now abargam at $5,000. ho creat ed this increase? The writer also quotes Thomas Jeff erson's letter to Thomas Earle of Wor cester, Mass., which was dated from Monticello, Va, Sept. 24, 1 823, and reads as follows:. That our Creator made the earth for the use of the living, and not ,of the dead; that those who exist riot can have no use nor rights in it; that one generation of men cannot foreclose or burden its use to another, which comes to it in their own right and by the same divine beneficence; that a preceding generation cannot bind a sncceeding one by its laws or contracts, these deriving their obligation from the will of existing majority, and that majority being re moved by death, another comes in its place, with a will equally free to make its own laws and contracts these are axioms so self-evident that no explana tion can make them plainer; for he is not to be reasoned with who says that non-existence can control existence, or that nothing can move something. They are axioms, also, pregnant, with salutary consequences. The laws of civil society, indeed, for the ' encouragement of in dustry, give the property of the parent to his family on his death, and in most civilized countries, permit him to give it by testament to whom he pleases. And it is also found more convenient to suffer the Jaws to stand on our implied assent as if positively re-enaeted, until the existing majority positively repeals them; but this does not lessen the right of that majority to repeal, whenever a change of circumstances or of will calls for it; habit alone confounds civil prac tice with natural right. " Dr. Wayland draws no distinctions in the matter of bequests between landed property and personalty, but holds that the entailing or restiicting the use of any species of property by a testator is wrong and shound not be permitted. His strongest point, however, is that which Jefferson puts so plainly, name ly, that "the earth belongs in usufruct to the living." ANNUAL CONVENTION Of the National Farmers' Alliance. Sec'y's Office, Moulton, Appanoose County, Iowa, Oct. 30, 1830. The annual convention of the National Farmers' Alliance will be held in the city of St. Louis, December ."Kb, 18S9, at 9 o'clock a. m., for the purpose of elect ing officers for the ensuing year, and for the transaction of such other busi uess as may come before the conven tion. Further announcement as to the place' of meeting in the city will be given. By order of the President. August Post, Sec'y. Hear Senator Morton explain how the people make the laws: "There is gathered around the capital of this nation a gang of miserable stock jobbers with.no more conscience than pirates, inspired solely bv a greed for gain, and they thundered successfully at these doors until they drove this gov ernment into the most preposterous acts of bad faith and legalized robbery that ever oppressed a free nation since the dawn of history." Hear Senator Allen G. Thurman des cribe how the people do it: l,I have been nearly nine years in the senate of the United States, and if there has been any financial legislation here for the benefit of the widow, the orphan, and the laboring classes, I have been too obtuse to discover it.'1 The Right to School Houses. Beaver City, Oct. 28, 1880. Mr. J. M. Thompson: Will the law uphold the Alliance in closing and lock ing school house, doors against any tax payer not belonging to the Alliance, while holding its meetings, with the consent of the district and school boai'd to use the house for that purpose. C. A. F. ANSWER. It will. The school board has as full control of the school house as the sheriff has of the jail, the judge of the court room, or the treasurer of the treasurer's office. The individual tax-payer has nothing to say about it except by his ballot on election day. Ed. Alliance. The Specie Basis. A man at El Paso, Texas, went into a saloon to get a drink. He laid down an American silver dollar to pay for it, and received a Mexican dollar in change. The next day he crossed into Mexico and laid his Mexi can dollar on the bar, and received a fif teen cent drink and an American dollar. He wants to know now who paid for the drinks. And the biggest half of Chicago and all of Omaha are just crazy to drop on a fac simile of this process. Here's " intrinsic value " for you.

Only a little boy, my friends, " But I'll do the best I can; For by and by, In the coming years, I mean to be a man. Not something: that wears a coat and hat, Kid gloves and curling- hair, Whose only ambition seems to be To dress with the nicest care. Not something- that carries between his lips A cigar or pipe of clay. And keeps the article In full blast A dozen times a day. Not something that digs and delves so hard, But is as poor as poverty still, While a goodly part of his hard-earned cash Goes into the rum-seller's till; But a man, an honest, whole-souled man, Brave-hearted, kind and true; Who is always found in the foremost ranks, Whenever there's work to do. Now boys, be wise! join hands with me! There is work enough for us all; And by and by in the strife we shall fill The places of those who fall. 'Tis easy to keep in the path of right, For Jesus will help us along; If we follow the sruide He has left for us. We shall never need to go wrong. And let us resolve in childhood's j-eara To be faithful in all things, and then We may each fill an honored station in life, If we should live to be men. While drunk at Pittsburg, J. M. Deeley threw his 5-year-old boy into the river, the fall being 45 feet. The child was rescued, but cannot recover. Deeley says that he intended only to frighten the lad, but that he slipped from his grasp. An Ohio lady sends me a tag taken off her husband's "new vest, which is well made," she says. On the face it bears the usual hieroglyphics indicat ing lot, size and price. On the back, sewed against it.is written in a cramped hand, as if the fingers were stiff, "Re member this vest was made for twenty five cents." No note sent out from prison cell was ever more pathetic. "O men with mothers and wives' It is not garments you're wearing out, But human creatures' lives." Signal. In an able contribution in the Forum Washington friaddeu raises tne ques tion. Can Our Social Ills be Reme died?" and sums up the answer in one pungent paragraph: "There is no road to comfort and independence, after all, but the plain, old path of steady work and sober saving. If the working peo ple of this country would save for the next five years the money thev spend on beer, tobacco and base-ball, they could control a pretty large share of the capital employed in the industries by which they get their living, and they could turn the dividends of this capital from the pockets of the money-lenders into their own. There is no other way of checking the con gestion of wealth, and of promoting its diffusion, so expeditious, so certain and so beneficent as this. I wish that the working people would try it!" The brightest minds are united in pointing to intemperance as the chief cause of poverty and wretchedness. Their ut terances upon all other subjects, are heeded, but upon this one of the drink evil it does seem that "this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their e'es, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be con verted." Union Signal. PROHIBITION IN KANSAS. Judge Guthrie, at Topeka, Oct. 17, empaneled a grand jfiry, and in charg ing them to make special inquiry as to the enforcement of the prohibitory law. he took occasion to emphatically in dorse the law. In the course of his le marks he said: "For nearly five years there has not been a saloon or any place where intoxicating liquors were openly sold or given away in this coun ty. The law on this subject has been as strictly obeyed in this city as the statute providing for the punishment of murder, robbery, or larceny. Hun dreds of thousands of dollars have been invested here in this city by strangers on the conviction that public sentiment favored an honest, fair en forcement of the law prohibiting the unlawful sale of. intoxicating liquors, and it is believed that these conditions have induced thousands of families to change their homes from sister states to this city and state so that they might, with their children, escape the evil eft'f cts of the saloon. And these conditions and environments are in ducing the friends and patrons of learn ing to establish with magnificent en dowments colleges and schools in this and other cities of the state, and par ents are sending their children from distant states to these colleges to be educated, with the expectation and lope that their childron may enjoy the benefits of society, unpolluted with thft baneful saloon.''
