THE FARMERS ALLIANCE; LINCOLN, NEB., SATURDAY, AUGUST 9, 1880. ALLIANCE MEETINGS. 5 Th Fim Ball of the Campaign. ; Editor Alliance : The campaign was opened at Bennet, Lancaster county, on the evening of July 80th with a hip I hip! hurrah! The townsfolk of the little Tillage so far caught the enthusi asm of the occasion as to desert their stores, and all business was practically suspended for an hour and a half while citizens and farmers united inpatient attention to our open air discussion of the mission and hope of the people's movement . The utmost sy m pathy was manifested for the cause of the toiling masses, and if Bennet is any criterion our ticket will receive splendid support from the tradesmen of these interior villages, whose interests are in common with those of the farmer, and who in self -protection should make common cause with him against the . common foe, monopoly. Throughout Lancaster I find a very encouraging unanimity of feeling' as to the ticket, This is as it should be. The ticket is a clean one; composed of men of pure principles and unbending integrity,"-' sterling de votion to duty, and whose lives public and private, need no apology. It is a ticket worthy of our suffrages, and hav ing been framed by the will of the ma jority there is but one motive before us now, and that is to win. And now as always success means unity of thought, feeling and action, and the subordination of many personal likes or dislikes -to the welfare and tri umph of our cause. . This spirit hence forth will distinguish the patriots of the movement; self will be set aside, and the strength of unity, fraternity and loyalty be summoned, to the supreme end that victory shall be ours in No vember.

New York Voice. ' ' Why under the sun the government should have degraded silver by legisla tion to destroy demand and prices, and then should have abused it for yielding to the blow, is a mystery deep and dark: still. Why government does not dare to allow free coinage for fear silver will regain its legitimate standing, and still abuses it for being down, is a mys tery .deep and dark still. Chicago Ex press.

I will endeavor to briefly outline the political situation in this part of "old Saunders." The independent call was unanimously endorsed by Ithaca Alii ance.and was signed by a large number of independent thinkers out side the or der. The independent caucus was at tended by about thirty voters, while the republicans had hardly enough for a quorum, and the democrats made no ?retensions of holding a caucus at all. here are one hundred and forty voters in this precinct and one hundred belong to the Alliance organization. The ticket nominated at Wahoo 26th inst. gives universal satisfaction in this com munity. These few straws will serve to show "which way the wind" etc. ' lours in glory, D. M. Roberts.

The Great Dehomer "Operates" on Dave Butler. Editor Farmbbs' Alijancb: Your expose of ex-Governor Butler leaves but one loop hole for criticiam. It is like loading a cannon to shoot a chip munk, or perhaps to draw the line nearer to the truth I should say to Shoot a skunk. His record as a member of the "Union Labor convention" at Cincinnati, in 1886, is enough to forever ostracise him from the society of all decent men. As you are aware the convention had 417 delegates 300 farmers, US town delegates and one drunkard, and he was Dave Butler of Nebraska, ex-governor. Impeached, disgraced and despised, he still seems to keep up the racket; but, Mr. Editor, as I know that every uanin that Cincinnati convention felt te sympathize with you and your associates who truly represented the great state of Nebraska, so now I feel con vinced that all the, people of your state and especially every farmer will understand and know that in any matter of truth and veracity your word would stand against a world of poor old Dave Butlers. H. H. Haaff. THE MISSOURI STATE ALLIANCE. FARMERS In pursuance to the call of the Na tional sectetary, delegates assembled at Savannah, Missouri, July 10th, for the purpose of organizing a State Alliance for Missouri under the auspecies of the National Farmers' Alliance. The strong hold of the local Alliances organized under the National Alliance is in the counties of northwestern Missouri, and hence the meeting was called for that part of the state. Nine counties were entitled to delegates, but only three counties were represented, due, as said by one of the delegates, to the fact that tne "land was resting under the shad- do w of death." It was harvest time, and the land was parched with fervent sun and a drouth which has sapped all vitality. The plains and hills were parched. The corn drooped, wilting in iue neias. ree Ks ana water courses gaped with cracked and seamy sides. Wells whose fountains had seemed per ennial now refused to supply the cool ing beverage. . Cattle had to be driven miles to water. Farmers were at home alert and patient to save what they could from the parching sun and con suming drought. Andrew, Holt and JNodawav counties were represented. Andrew with twenty-three delegates, Holt with eighteen and Nodaway with seven. The con vention organized with W. C. Fleming, of Fillmore, Mo., as president. Com mittees were appointed "on constitution and by-laws, platform of principles and plan of organization. While the com mittees were at work addresses were delivered by Messrs. B. O. Cowan. W. R. Laughlin and N. B. Ashby. A public meeting wa3 held on the evening of the 16th, at which addresses were delivered by T. W. King, of Holt, and National Lecturer Ashby. Ane convention met on the morning of the 17th, at 8 o'clock, and took up the report of the committee on consti tution. The committee presented the Iowa constitution so modified as to meet the needs of Missouri, and their report was adopted without material change. The election of officers result ed as follows: President. B: O. Cowan, New Points. Holt Co., Mo.; Vice-president, G. D. Fullerton, Skidmore, Nod away county; Secretary, G. W. Praise water, i illmore, Andrew county; Treas urer, W. C. Fleming, Fillmore county. The office of state organizer was made appointive for the present, and left with the executive committee. The committee on platform of princi ples then reported. The platform was thoroughly anti-monopoly, and covered in the main the demands of the Nation al Farmers' Alliance. A resolution favoring the passage of the bill now be fore congress to give to the state power to forbid the importation and sale of original packages provoked much dis cussion, and was finally stricken out The committee on plans reported in fa vor 01 pusning the organization vigor ously, and recommended a bureau of organization. Ihe report was adopted ine secretary was instructed to have constitution, etc., printed for distribu tion. - ' ' y - - The delegates at .the convention were wide-awake, intelligent and zealous men. Mr. Laughlin is ' an old timer who nas had much experience in com mittee work before concrress. Mr Cowan, the president, is a practical and educated young farmer who already has servea as representative In the state legislature. Mr. Praiswater is an act ive and energetic worker. There are few brighter men than Mr. I. W. lung, of Holt county, who was present as a lecturer. Mr. King is. still a young man, well equipped with educational and intellectual endowments, and a man who takes pride m his calling The State Alliance of Missouri starts out well equipped for the building up ot a powerful state organization. . N. B. Ash by, National Lecturer. Railroad Earning3 in America. Poor's railroad manual for 1890 shows that the rallr.ad mileage under operation in the United 8tates at the opening of the year was 152,689 miles, and that the total capitalization of this great property, both bonds and stock, was nearly $ 10,000,000,000, or an average of $65,000 per mile. The operating expenses and earnings for 1889 were as follows : Earnings.... $992,868,856 Operating expenses..... - 674,731,517 Net earnings $318,125,339 No one believes and no intelligent person will claim that the railroads of America, with all their equipment, cost $65,000 per mile. They are capitalized for that amount because they have fallen prey to railroad stock water ing operations. They are thus inflated to several times their normal size In the wcrld of stocks and bonds. It is probable that they could be honestly built and equipped at an average ?ost now of one-third, or say $25,000 per mile. Certainly one-half their present capitaliza tion. or say $33,000 per mile, would be a liberal allowance for their cost. If we take this as representative of their value, we find that their cost in the aggregate would be over $5,000,000,000. r. Taking $5,000,000,000 as the cost of the rail roads of America, and it is a very ' liberal allowance, how much money should the gov eminent permit this invested capital to earn cs net revenue from the people? In England 4 per cent would be considered a fair degree of profit after paying all the enormous salar ies of omcers and all taxes upon the property, In America 5 per cent might be considered reasonable. Certainly it is more than many business men and farmers make. But sup pose we say the railroads shall be allowed te make a profit of 6 per cent that surely is liberal. Six per cent on $5,000,000,000 Invested would be $300,000,000 a year. As a matter of fact, however, the actual net aggregate earn ings of the railroads of America last year were $403,929,487, or more than 8 per cent on their cost at outside estimates. This includes thousands of miles which are in unprofitable territory It is the grand average for the whol s country. It shows that in spite of heavy losses here and there, in spite of wrecks, high salaries to officials, special cars, passes, corruption funds, strikes and all other expenditures, the fact is that railroad invest ments have actually paid over 8 per cent, while commerce has been staggering and ag riculture has been gasping for the bare breath of life. Is it not time to secure legislation to save to the people about $100,000,000 a year in rail road charges so as to reduce the earnimrs to a reasonable level? World-Herald. Letter to Uncle Sam No. 6. by Jacob Beck. Decatur Neb., July 28, 1890. Dear Uncle: The wide-spread dis content existing everywhere, indicates that a new departure from the present order of things as they exist in the po litical world, is demanded. To allay this discontent some scheme must be devised for a more equal distribution of the rewards of labor. Stupid as the average laboring man may be, he is not so stupid as to be un able to realize that by some hocus pocus political legerdemain he has been cheated out of a portion ol his earnings. When he sees the rich man and his fam ily living in a palace, riding in car riages, clothed in purple and faring sumptuously every day, and himself and his care worn wife and half fed and half clad children living in a hut, he is led to ask, why all this difference between family and family? Is there a God? If so, is He just? If just, why this great difference between His children? In his efforts to solve these problems he becomes skeptical atheistic. If he goes to his minister for a solution, the preacher will most likely comfort his sorrowing soul by quoting a part of a compound sentence which fell from the lips of our Savior when he said : "The pooryou have always with you. " The latter part of the sentence which is seldom if ever quoted, reads thus: "And you can do them good whensoever you may." While I am quoting scripture, I wish to quote one more sentence from that blessed book. Here it is: "The Heavens are the Lord's, but the earth He hath given to the children of men. " If the ministers of the gospel had the courage to stand up and plead the cause of the poor and needy would they tell their congregations that God had given this earth to His children that every child of God had a natural, inalienable, right to land sufficient for self support that governments were ordained to secure men their inalienable rights that the inalienable right to life carries with it the inalienable right of means to support life that land is indispensible to the support of lite. Therefore men have an inalienable right to enough land for support. I say had they courage to preach that kind of Bible doctrine, in disregard ot the tools who would call it political preaching, we would soon have a change for the better. In conclusion let me say, dear Uncle, that until you recognize each person's right to land sufficient for self support and restore that right, in vain may we hope for a more equitable distribution of wealth ;all legislationto better the con dition of the masses will be mere patch work tacked on by one body of legisla tors to be ripped off by the next, or torn off by court decisions as was pro hibition in Iowa in the original package decission. Yours for inalienable rights, - Jacob Beck. Contemporary Opinion. The Lincoln Herald says some good things, and says them very well. The following is a sample: The independent convention was In numbers and 'character just what the Herald predicted it would be. Nearly a thousand men, from almost everv county in the state, were there. They were in the main shrewd and intelligent. They know what hurts them and they mean to have relief. It is true that they did not take the short and easy cut to it by joining the democratic par ty as they might and should have done. But it is needless and vain to criticise that. The independent party is formed. It is a. fixture. It will be a powerful element at the election this fall. It is to early to forecast results, but, the in1 dications to-day are that it will poll as many votes as the republican party, One thing is reasonably sure. Either John Powers or the man to be named on the 14th of August will be the next governor of Nebraska. In many western counties the repub lican vote will nterallv disappear. West of Kearney the independent party will cast more votes than both the other two. East of that line it will carry more than one of the most popu lous republican strongholds, and will have many a handsome plurality. It is folly to underrate this uprising. There is much in it that is good, it is a strug gle of the people to advance in the right way, and the stronger it is the more good. Bo-tf e's Complete System tail ana Haw Hit. $70 PER DAT SAVED.

CiESAR'S COLUMN A Story of the Twentieth Century. BY EDMUND BOISGILBERT, M. D. One of the most startllnor and orisrinal works ever written. The author a man of wealth and biarh social oosition. and who writes under original and wonderfully fascinating work of fiction, a profound study of sciologlcal condi tions, and he follows the89 conditions out 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 nious story ; asapoetdeitiy toucnmgtne cnoras 01 tne great neartoi numanny;as apniios?pnsr analyzing the errors and laying bare the evil tendencies of our age; as a prophet warning the race against the greed and Belflsbness which are eating away the foundations of society; or as a preacher teaching the broad principles of divine charity and appealing to those who have the power and the good will to redeem the world.

Editor Alliance: Wre held a .peo ple's Co. convention on the 26. It was the largest covention ever held in O-oe county with more interest manifested than in any county convention I have ever seen. The people have thrown aside party allegiance and gone to work for themselves and their, interests. We had a delegation of 134 at a ratio of one delegate to every 10 of organized Farm ers' Alliances and K. of L. We organ ized the county into good working or der and appointed a central committee of one to each precinct. Intend to help, elect the people's ticket in the state, and intend to elect it in our coun ty. The people of the county are work ing harmoniously together, and one of our principles is let the office seek the man instead of vice versa. Luce Ward was elected chairman of the central committee, and E. S. Whittaker, secre tary. Respectf ullv yours, W."E. McNeil, Co. Organizer. Alliance Picnic at Oxford.
