l THE FARMERS' AlililANOE: IiIN0OliN NEB., SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 1890. Interest and "Dividends Paid onC. B. & Q., and U. P. Stocks and Bonds. Some Valuable Figures from Mr. Clark. Editor Farmebs' Alliance rEyen if it be conceded that private property in a public highway is all right, is sanc tioned W our national constitution, is in accord with" the fundamental princi ples of popular government (all of which 1 deny) still it seems very plain to me that thednterest and dividends paid on railroad stock and debts is greatly in excess of whatsit should be. I think the plain facts and figures of the one or two roads that I have been enabled to gather will show to the satisfaction of every reasonable citizens that such is the case.-"': - I 1 find that the . C. B. & Q. stock holders, received cash payment of divid ends from 1857 to 1886 inciusive,31 years, of $74,662,211 and find stock dividends amounting to $6,701,990, and interest was paid to the amount of $52,155,578, making $134,519,679 of interest and divdends paid in the 31 years. 1 find that the capital fttock and funded debt amount to $36,384.2 per mile; that the company has received from the sale of . laad minus the amount paid in taxes and the amount "expended in sale and management of lands, $10,785,154.87. I find no statement of the amount of aid received from other sources. As the actual or necessary cost of railroads is, and for many years has been only from $10,000 to $20,000 per mile, it is evident that the national, state and county aid has been used, not to build the road, or there would be little or no stock or debt to pay dividends or . interest; but it has gone to secure large dividends on 'watered stock." i ; Thus from 1865 to 1887 inclusive, 15 per cent was paicj tme year, 10 per cent 12 years, 9 per cent one year, ; 9 J per cent 1 year, and 8 per cent 7 years. And in addition the $6,701,990 in stock was paid, which is supposed to draw divid ends like the other stocks and bonds for all eternity. , t If the farmer, mechanic or merchant makes nothing he is on expense all the same, but the stock-holder if he can not get the cash takes more stock. The interest and dividend payment for 1888 amount' to v $10,246,107.69 or $2,129 per mile, enough to pay the cost value of the road every four to six years. The U. P. company reports the cost per mile of that road - and equipment at $89,565.82. In the report for 1887 the "amount of - stock and debt per .mile of road and interest on U.S.bonds" was $105,114.43 per mile, yet the com pany has realized net '$21,432,406.69 from the sale of land. ,How much from other sources we are not told. I sup pose if the company could draw any more dividends or interest by it, they could just as well have a debt of one hundred million to the mile. I judge from these few items, and the fact that farming and nearly every legitimate industry is paying little or nothing in the way of profits, that the railroad stock and bond holder should stand aside for a while and give the workers a chance to make something. In a word that railroad interest is too high. It is probably quite unnecessary, but I want to add, that I consider the whole railroad system a fraud. C. M, Clakk. A Letter From the Great Dehorner. Editor Farmers' Alliance: May I say a word to the thousands of farmers all over Nebraska who know me famil iarly as "The Great Dehorner," and who have written me thanking me for doing them good in the saving affected in handling and keeping their cattle. Not a man of all the Farmers but is will ing to say "God bless you" for the little change which a small innovation has wrought, and which adds two or three dollars a year to the value of every horned animal. How is it, Brother Farmers that you neglect to join "the Alliance" which, if properly handled not only makes you more annual money than the dehorning of your cattle can possibly do, but which also restores you your individual freedom and teaches you how you mav attain your proper political rights and standing as the sov ereign of this Great Republic. I am astonished when I look over the census of 1880 and read that there were 90,000 agriculturalists in Nebraska, and when it is considered that to-day there are not less than a quarter of a million of ersons engaged in agriculture and not ess than 100,000 to 150,000 are voters, how is it.I ask, that the Farmers' Alliance of your state does not number more than 50,000 voters? What strange neg lect, what blindness to your own well fare. Do you propose to do as Illinois has done, and wait until you are out numbered by the town people. Look at Illinois. To-day more than half of her farms are rented. A renter makes no improvements, add no betterments. He has all he can do to keep soul and body together and provide actual necessities for his little family. His rapacious land lord demands four to five dollars per acre rental, and that must come "will he nil he." Illinois has two classes of men who are ripe for socialism. The poor of the cities. The men who labor with their hands. There are over three hundred thousand of these in Chicago alone; and most of them know that no steady job awaits them the year along. They know that six to eight months la bor is all that they can reasonably expect to get and hence they combine and strike for air they can get during that time. What care they that days and weeks are lost? There is just so much to be done, and as a rule no more than a moiety of the, time is needed to do it. Those men are ripe for socialism. The farm renters of Illinois are fast ap proaching that same , condition. Of what value is it to them that they re pair houses or barns, cribs or fences. "Only just enough to carry us through the year and .safely house us, our ani mals and our crops." The idea of home love is out side the pale of their dreams. -How can they ever expect to purchase a $50.00 per acre farm. - Where can the 45000 of in6r6 come from for that pur pose, since they can scarcely raise the rental! These men, too, are fast, very fast ripeuin.2 for socialism. The line between land-lord and tenant is being: forcibly put as the line of demarkation is now drawn in the cities between boss and employe. Not long since I met a manufacturer who had been obliged to pay one of his men over a thousand dol lars for loss of a part of Ms hand on ac count of defective machinery. Said he, "do you know what I will do? I will take that money out of my help during the coming year." This is not harsher treatment than was accorded by an old farm land-lord down in rlatte county, HI., to his tenant, and related to me at one of our Farmer meetings. This bid hunks had been urging to me that modern farm tenants are lazy. But one who knew the circumstances told bow that same old miser stood by in cold November and saw the little girls, his tenant's children, thinly clad without shoes or stockings while he distrained for his five dollar an acre rent. It is safe to say that that tenant like the em ployes of my manufacturer, is ripe for socialism. - Now Brother Farmers, why wait until these things or worse over - take you before joining and combining Vfor mutual protection? If socialism ir.r.;t corae, and it begins to squint that way) let us who are farmers be so com bined and so compacted that we can give tone and direction to the final is sue. The millionaires of Chicago so tremble over the coming dangers of the situation that they have actually given a military camp to our Uncle Sam, and only the other day when-100,000 men in this city began to demand 8 hours as a day's work, and when at least one fourth part of that number joined in Sarade.those same millionaires actually iscussed the chances of violence and rejoiced in being able to throw troops, U. S. soldiers, into the contest if the struggle came. Now it is quite appar ent to every one of you that we ought to com oine. mere snouia oe a living active Alliance in each school district. You farmers of Nebraska are happy in having what Illinois has not. You have a paper, an able paper devoted to your sole interest. Its editorial management is clean. If it can be fooled or can be bought I know not where to look for editorial integrity. You farmers oueht to support it and support it well. You all of you ought to take it and study its teachings, not blindly but with a firm spirit of determination to stand for your Alliance and keep it clean. Our motto is "The Farmers Society firsthand party afterwards." I do so wish that I could reach the ear of every Nebraska Farmer. I would shout loud and long, ' Join the Farmers' Alliance and stick for your rights." I offer you in conclusion this sentiment: "a farmer for every office in the land from path-master to president." H. H. Haaff. Independent Action Wanted. , Central City, Neb., May 31st, 1890. Editor Alliance: Bro. Kelly of Plainview hs hit the mark in his criti cism of Mr. Wooster. He voices my sentiments exactly. The call for an independent convention is the only way that the laboring men can be felt. Some of the farmers seem to have joined the Alliance just for the chance to have a place to meet and air their sentiments, but when we want some good done they fly the track and begin to find fault. Some are fearful that if we buy our own goods from Chicago and thereby save from 20 to 50 percent, we will loose a few votes when election comes and the grand old parties wont get all the offices. Don't - agitate the attentions that are most vital. It wont o to meet and say your soul is your own. Get down on your knees and kiss the big toe of the money shark. Don't start some new f angled ideas, let us keep in the good (?) old ruts. It takes time and thought . to get used to new customs. Some wouM be so surprised to save a little money by helping them selves that they could not rest nights. Our Alliance is unanimously in favor of calling an independent convention. Let us nominate farmers for every office. There are brains enough in the furrow to fill all the offices.. Let us select a new set all around, and not take some old broken down politician as our standard bearer; take a new deal all around and then see if we cannot have seme good laws. I want to see Bro. Horn go to congress from this district. One thing is certain if he goes we will have a good report from his side. He wont sell out, and he forgot to learn any dirty tricks. We may go further and do worse. Very respectfully, . M. M. Halleck, " . - . Sec. Alliance 1000. W. H. Smith, the leader of the British house of commons, has recently built a new church' at Portsea at a cost of more than $110,000. He has no in terest in the place whatever, but hap pening: to visit.it for a day on grovern- mentjmsiness he noticed that it great ly needed a new church. The records of Castlo Garden extend back to May 5, 1847, the date of the organization of the board of commis sioners of emigration, and since that time nearly; 10,000,000 immigrants the exact number to January 1, 1890, is 9,639,635, or about or.e-sixth of the entire population of the United States have been landed there. According to official accounts the average senator of the United States uses up two and one-half cuspidors an nually during the time spent in the senate chamber and is allowed only 12 oents' worth of ''Pond Lily" perfum ery per year, and yet he complains that it is the newspapers that have brought the senate "into bad odor." New York is in danger of goin dry. According to the report of the Excise board there were in that city in 1889 8,885 places licensed for the sale c liquor, including 5,874 liquor saloons, 194 ale and beer saloons, 1,255 ' ale, beer and wine saloons, 152 restaurants, 262 hotels, 56 steamboats and 1,033 groceries, drug and wholesale liquor stores.

Sir Walter Raleigh was the first lhat landed a colony of English people hi this country.

"TIIE BOOK OF THE EPOCH. A WONDERFULLY FASCINATING WORK." CJESAB'S COLUMN A Story of the Twentieth Century. BY EDMUND BOISGILBERT, M. D. One of the most startling and original works ever written. The author a an of wealth and high social position, and who writes under a nom de plume, presents, in a startlingly original and wonderfully fascinating work of fiction, a profound study of sciological condi tions, and he follows these conditions omt to what he believes will be their Inevitable result. The events described in the story take place in the year 1988, and the scene is laid in New York City. The plot is diversified and full of human interest. Some of the chapters are equaled only by Victor Hugo in terseness and vividness of description. The effect of the book as a whole is such that the reader will scarcely know in which character most to admire the gifted author whether as a novelist skillfully weaving a complicated plot Into a harmo nious story; as a poetdeftly touchingthe chords of the great heartof humanity ;as aphiiosopner analyzing the errors and laying bare the evil tendencies of our age; as a prophet warning the race against the greed and selfishness which are eating' away the foundations of society; or as a preacher teaching the broad principles of divine charity and appealing to those wno have the power and the good will to redeem the world.
