A, New Party Called for.
Editor Alliance: W e need a new
party to take up the new issues and
carry them into practice. The records
of the old parties are such that an intelli
gent man cannot trust them to carry
out the will of the people. They make
a huge out-cry to call the attention of
the masses away from subjects that
need adjusting with skill and prompt
ness. Don't make the platform so narrow
and the planks so few that there is
.standing room for but a very small
class.
Society is constantly changing its
mode of life, and laws that were once
good and useful are no longer appli
cable. Drop these obsolete laws and
bring them within the dead past. Live
for the "Now and now," and the "By
and by." Educate the masses to think
for themselves. Give them facts for
thought and discussion. Investigate !
Truth never looses anything by investi
gation. The water of the ocean puri
lies itself by agitation, and politics must
do the same. To be silent and still is to
die. Talk; work, cheer on your com
rades. Let them know that others are
abreast pi them in thought and work.
If the press of the country were but
honest enough to give expression to the
sentiments of the masses instead of
voicing the sentiments of the machines
that seek to rob their people by attract
ing their attention elsewhere while they
carry on theivish tricks, many of the
crimes that disgrace our country would
disappear like a meteor in the blue vault
of heaven J. J. BLINKINS.

Editor Farmers' Alliance: Bills
an) being introduced into congress to
prohibit the wrecking of prices of farm
products bv persons gambling in so
called boards of trade, in their promise
to deliver what they do not own, for
the purpose of breaking down the mar
ket, then buying back their contracts.
This manipulation costs the farmers
from 10 to 20 cents per bushel on their
wheat and i to 1 cent per pound on
their hogs.
It is now important that you and your
frjends write personal letters to your
,.".. i -. i
Kuaiuis ;iiiu rfpiefteiiia.iivt-A m
gress, asking them to give these bills,
or some of them, their support, and to
vote for the passage of that bill which
will most quickly Decome a law.
The passage of the bill Avill largely
depend upon the personal interest the
farmers give it. They should all write
letters to their members demanding
that the bill be passed. Do not take
NO for an answer, but tell them "where
there is a will there's a way."
There is no more necessity for the
bear, short seller and wrecker on
change, to beat prices down, than there
is for a horse-thief to steal your horses,
or a barn burner to destroy your prop
crtv. Very respectfully,
- 11. L. Pierce.

Farmers' Alliance unanimously adopted
the accompanj'ing resolutions in regard
to the Elm wood elevator case to-day.
The membership of our Alliances arc
rapidly increasing, and several new

Whats' the Matter 2
What is the matter with Nebraska?
The question is not asked in a sense of
slang, but inall sober earnest. What is
the matter with this state of Nebraska?
The statements that I make are from
my own observation, and if they are
wrong I stand corrected. Why are
three fourths of the farms in the country
mortgaged for about all they are worth?
Why is there such a cry of "Hard times"
all over the land that a stranger would
think this was the poorest country on
earth? Why are all the county papers
full of Sheriffs' sale Notices?.
We read in the Omaha and Lincoln
papers about the great crop of corn and
other grain that has been raised the
past season, and of the hogs and cattle
that are being shipped from week to
week, and praising up the resources of
the state as if it was the Garden of Eden.
Then why I ask are times hard and
farmers going in debt so much ?
jLnere is a great deal ot taiK going on
now in the Press agitating the money
question, and the silver question, and
the rail road question, and so on ad infin
itum, but do we get any more for our
corn or oats or hogs, or whatever we
have to sell? Does it pay off any of the
mortgages or lessen the number of them
that are put on record every week? If
every farmer would think he could soon
hnd a cause for some of the hard times,
and scarcity of money, and the con
traction of the currency, and all such
evils. ,
In our little town of Bromtield we
have a good illustration of xnie of. the
causes. We have two grain elevators,
but the farmers have got sick of being
robbed, and so formed an Alliance Busi
ness Association, and have tried to ship
their own grain, and get all they could
out of it, and that is little enough God
knows. How have they succeeded, you
may ask, and I answer "not worth a
cent." The great and glorious scab
route called the B. & M. in Nebraska, is
short of cars and can furnish only one
out ot every seven that they leave here
to the Alliance men; and what is the
consequence? That we can walk up
like good slaves and sell our corn to the
elevators or let it rot on the gi'ound,
where more than half of it is piled up.
This is one of the things that is the mat
ter with Nebraska.
With a climate and soil that beat the'
world for producing grain of all kinds,
and with all the conditions in our favor,
we are worse off than the negroes were
before the war. Did any of you ever
think how much Ave pay these vampires
to take a train load of corn to Chicago,
and how much we get for the same? If
you never tried it just get the grain
rates from your local agent and figure
it out and see how it will look. And if
it looks real nice (for the rail road,) and
you want it to continue to be that way
when next fall comes and you elect men
for the Legislature, just put up those
that will work for the rail road real
stout, and we will soon all know what
is the matter with Nebraska.
This is one of the principal things
that Ave have got to down, and the
sooner Ave go at it the better. If Ave
don't throttle the monster it will own
us, body and soul.
Farmers ivake up! and organize, and
swear that you Avill not be bulldozed
any longer, or else sit doAvn and say "I
am yours .

Alliance Meeting in Nance County,
SINCLAIR ALLIANCE NO. 600.
Fullerton, Neb., Jan. G, 1890.
Editor Alliance: In the afternoon
of January 4th, Ave had an open meet
ing of our Alliance, and many of our
neighboring farmers Avho are not mem
bers attended and took part in the dis
cussions. The meeting proved beyond
doubt that farmers may derive much
benefit by coming together to discuss
the many questions Avhich Ave farmers
should understand. We must look after
our interests in county and state affairs
as well as those on our farms. The
way to do this is to come together in
the Alliance and get acquainted Avith
each other, understand each other and
deA'ise ways and means to protect our
interests.
We hope other Alliances will follow
our example; as such meetings are sure
to bi-ing about good results.
Fraternally,
W. P. Hatten, Sec'y.

W. C. T. U. COLUMN.
Edited by Mrs. S. C. O. Uptos, of Lincoln,
Neb., of the Nebraska Woman's Christian
Temperance Union.
The editor of The Alliance places the re
sponsibility of this column in the care of the
above editor.
We owe our readers and the Alli
ance editor an apology for not furnish
ing copy last week. It was due to a
misunderstanding, we supposing
as much copy was furnished as could
be used. We do not mean to have it
occur again.
THE OLD AND NEW YEAE.
Oh, sometimes gleams upon our sight,
Through present wrong, the eternal right;
And step by step, since time began,
We see the steady gain of man.
That all the good the past hath had
Remains to mcke our own time glad,
Our common, daily life divine,
And every land a Palestine.
Through the harsh noises of our day,
A low sweet prelude finds its Avay;
Through clouds of doubt and creeds of fear,
A light is breaking calm and clear.
Henceforth my heart shall sigh no more
For olden time and holier shore ;
God's love and blessing, then and there,
Are now and here and everywhere.
Whittier.
HIGH SCHOOLS IN OMAHA.
Editor Union Signal: Between
the popular and the reform platforms,
I closed at Christmas a six week's en
gagement in Nebraska. One day I sat
down in Omaha, and beside me sat one
of the oldest and ablest attorneys, as
familiar with the cost and carnival of
the liquor traffic there as one may be
and lead a sober life; yet, withal, a
devout Republican. He said he would
cipher out the cost of keeping school in
that city the past year with the saloon
as school-master. I said that was the
education I Avas sighing for, and he put
the figures thus:
290 saloon licenses 5290,000
KX) livings for barkeepers f 1,500 4:15,000
530 barkeepers $1,000 580,000
290 saloon rentals $75 per month 261,000
2!M) porters $40 per month 130,000
290 net incomes, (average) 290,000
290 fixtures repairs and interest $300 87,000
Total direct and annual payment by
Omaha to the saloons that keep her
schools $2,032,000
Now all familiar with the extrava
gance of metropolitan saloons know
that most of these items are placed low.
The omitted figures, too, are almost
equal to those set down as liquor's in
crease of the city's expense for police,
jail, court, penitentiary, poor-house,
plus the waste in gambling and pros
titution due to liquor.
Then I called on the city treasurer,
and found the total city taxes for the
current year to be only $991,881; on the
c6unty treasurer, and found the total
county and state taxes to be only
$555,277; a total taxation of $1,550,158;
and a thick slice of this is liquid. So,
to run the public schools of Omaha by
high license costs that city a half-mil-iou
more this year than all other expen
ses, including large public improve-!
ments, and the county's quota of state
expenses. One might Avell get a gamin
to cry, "How's that for high!"
Yet Omaha, by her same high-license
attorney, pledges 18,000 votes to place
license in the state constitution. And
he estimates that theDsaloon expense is
paid by one-fourth of the people, or
7,000 families, that is $300 to a family.
So 18,000 men will vote a neighbor
drunk and the family ragged and hun
gry just to make him pay $300 of the
taxes laid on by the high-license hum
bug! Distribute the $300 among the
i8,000 even, and each gets less than two
cents! Isn't the meanest man in Oma
ha the fellow who will vote a neighbor,
and a family into crime and crusts to
save bimsell two cents!
It is legitimate that such a city send
four students a year to her state univer
sity, eighty-one to her state penitenti
ary; and that high-license Lincoln
should, last year, find sixty-one crim
inal indictments, prohibition Topeka
(of similar size and people) only one.

THE OVERMASTERING
APPETITE.
A case strikingly illustrating the
horrible hold which the appetite for
strong drink may acquire over a man is
reported in a press dispatch from Col
umbus, Ohio. Years ago one Samuel
White, while intoxicated, slew a man.
His character otherwise than, in the
matter of intemperance was good, and
his family connections were the best
Jbor these and other considerations a
strong effort was made, after his con
viction and sentence to imprisonment
for life, to induce the Govenor to par
don him. Finally a conditional pardon
was obtained, the condition being that
ever afterward he should abstain from
intoxicants. October 25, on the occas
ion of his daughter's marriage,Jafter
eighteen years of abstainance, he vio
lated the condition of his pardon, and
was carried back to prison for the rest
of his natural life. Eighteen years of
sobriety had not quenched his thirst for
liqaor, and imprisonment for life was
not sufficient to deter him from indul-
g ing this insatiable appetite.
JudgeBrewer was confirmed as mem
ber of the Supreme Court bebore a
protest could be heard from the people.
Some of the ablest Senators voted
agrinst him for the reason that his
most celebrated decision was revoked
by the Supreme Court. That decision
was in favor of the liquor dealers and
manufacturers of Kansas. His appoint
ment was received by ail liquordom
with delight. They provided him a
banquet at Leavenworth, which threat
ened to be a disgraceful drinking affair
until the city authorities interfered and
enforced the law against the new Jus
tice and his friends. Mr. Harrison can
not afford such appointments as this
seems to be.
A teacher in the Fremont schools
has had placed in her department a
fire alarm system of her own contriv
ance, and with it instructs her scholars
how to get out of the rooms quickly
and systematically in case of fire.
