We the undersigned, citizens of the United States, hereby declare our adhesion to the follow
ing fundamental principles; viz:
Silver and gold should have free and unlimited coinage; our money circulation should be
increased to $50 per capita of population; and all paper issues necessary to make up that amount
hould be issued by the government direct to the people, based on mortgages on arable land to
half its value, and should be legal tender for all debts, public and private.
Land monopoly should be abolished either by limitation of ownership or graduated taxation
of excessive holdings, and alien ownership should be prohibited.
The railroad system as at present managed is a system of spoliation and robbery, and its
enormous bonded debt at fictitious valuations is absorbing the substance of the people in the in
terest of millionaires. The general government should own and operate the rti'rods and tele
graphs, and furnish transportation at cost, the same as mail facilities are now furnished. 1
We further declare that the political machinery in this nation is controlled by corporate
power for the plunder of the people and the enrichment of itself, and we have entirely lost confi
dence in the efficacy of that machinery for the enactment of just and the repeal of unjust laws.
We therefore invite all men, without regard to past political affiliation to join us in the en
actment of the above principles into law to the end that the people may be releived from the
domination of corporate power and partisan rule, and justice be established in the land. And
we hereby pledge OUR LIVES, OUR FORTUNES AND OUR SACRED HONORS to abide
BY AKD MAINTAIN THESE PRINCIPLES UNTIL THEY SHALL BE ESTABLISHED IN THE NATION.
And we the signers of these principles hereby ugree to act together for the election of a presi
dent in 1892, who shall be pledged to their establishment.

FROM THF FARMER'S VOICE OF
NOV. i.
Bro. L. C. Hubbard, editor oi the
7rmtT$' Voice, Chicago, wields a trench
ant pen, and is always on the right
ide. We copy the following from his
paper of November 1st. When he
wrote this he did not fully realize what
a splendid victory awaited the banded
farmers on Nov. 4tb, but all the same
he had done his full -share to make that
victory possible.
The Independent People's Party
was only born six months ago, and for
its age it is the most stalwart political
youngster of which there is any record.
Even if the Independent People's
party be oversized in every western
state this fall yet it will not be defeated
on the contrary, the grand aggregate
f the; farmer vote will constitute the
Try essence of victory, for it will con
tain the sure prophecy of triumph two
years from now.
Farmers! Don't let the carpers and
iueercrs tell you that you were foolishly
sanguine.
Remember, doubt never builds any
thing. Hope is the great constructor in
this world.
There is no (such thing as being over
sanguine in striving to do good work.
Just think once what a tremenduous
army of foes were banded against you.
There was both of the old party ma
chines with their long years of careful
organization behind them.
Then there was the railroads, the
banks, the trusts, the loan and invest
ment companies, the loan Shy locks, the
battel mortgage fiends, the lawyers,
th newspapers, and last but not least,
the seltish cowards who should have
been in your rank9 but dared not ven
ture. And yet your six months bantling
f an independent people's party nearly
seared the life out of the whole gang.
At its past ratio of growth in two years
from now it can smash the entire pluto
cratic crew with one hand.
This is a time when every honest and
patriotic farmer should hold solemn J
counsel with his own soul.
Find out your individual duty to your
God, your family, your country aud
your brother farmers, and do it.
Men of sound consciences cannot shirk
in this emergency. They must feel and
act out their belief that a victory to the
united farmers can only be wrought
out by the brave toil of individual farm
ers. Every true man should work as if the
outcome depended upon his personal
efforts alone, and it does so depend, for
if every farmer leaves the task to his
neighbor nothing will be done, except
by the industrious plutocrats, and their
.work will be putting chains on your
limbs.
"Tben let us be up and doing
With a heart for any fate.
Still achelving1, still pursuing.
Learn to labor and to wait."

Stop
giving Aid and Comfort to the
Enemy.
fUjSnvnxE, Neb . Oct. 27, 1890,
Ed. Alliance. Oue thing surprises
me it is the liberal and persistent sup
port given bji apparently earnest and
tealous advocates of government re
form by a new pally to the buttnents,
the mortars, ttoe colurnbiads the can
nonj, the muskets and cutlery of the old
parties that are bitterly, maliciously,
and stubbornly contesting every inch of
ur progress-I mean the democratic
and republican press. What is in the
way of the immediate success of the
People's Independent party ? Why, the
old parties. What keeps up the old
parties; Why, their newspapers, of
course. Who keeps up said papers?
Well, now, just look around a little
nd you'll soon see. I will ask the true
believer and siu cere reformer if he
thinks it a good way to defeat an enemy
to give said enemy as much aid and
comfort and financial support1 as he
gives to his own friends? Now how
many of our professed reformers who
belong to the People's party are con
stantly doing that very thing It if
needless to explain what the effect of
such a course is aud will be. You are
trying to put out a destructive fire with
one hand and piling on the fuel with
the other. Consistent, isn't it!
But that is just exactly what many of
you are doing.
Of coure, when anything is said by
the friends of this reform movement
against a continuance of support to the
. old subsidized press that has been the
agent of legalized robbers for a quarter
vi a. cemury a great nowi goes up irom
caid press, and it is just as foolish for
the people to heed that howl as it is to
be led farther astray by their lies, mis
representations and delusive arguments.
The people's movement owes its ori
gin. growth and present power to the
elf oris of the reform papers, and these
I
papers are supported, if supported at
all, not by republicans, not by demo
crats, (except very slightly,) but by
those who have lost all confidence in
the old, rotten demo-republican machine
and save decided to cast their political
fortunes with those of the new party.
And every man of them desires to see
the g. o. ps. laid out and the new party
put in possession of government affairs
in the shortest possible space of time.
Now such evidently being the wish of
every siucere friend of the new move
ment why in the name of common sense
don't they, every one of them, fight
like men of good judgment would fight?
Stop taking the enemy's papers. Stop
taking their papers. Is it indeed neces
sary to tell you every few days to stop
taking their papers? They have never
really begun to take yours. Of course
they will howl if you do. and that will
be another point gained.
They are now trembling with fear
lest the people, the foiling, tax-paying,
mortgage-ridden, debt-cursed farmers
and working men will stop taking th.ir
papers and thus let them collapse and
fall dead to the ground like a defunct
balloon; L. P. Cummins.
To the American Farmer
WITH WHOM BESTS
THE WELFARE OF THE REPUB
LIC. Mr. Ashby Dedicates His Great Book,
The Riddle of the Sphinx."
4 -h t'
The title 6t this book is probably a mystery
to many of our readers, and hence we may
be pardoned for relating the following
story to show how pat Ihe title is lor the
preeent times. During the mythical ages
when heroes are seeii as demigods i the dim
perspective, a fabulous monster, a Sphinx,
had txken possession of the rocky pass which
coiumanden the enterance to the city of The
bs To every passer was propounded the
ricdle. since known as the riddle of man, and
woe betide the luckless wrinht who failed to
answer the riddle. He was devoured. Slow
ly the city wms depopulated, for none were
able to answer. Finally Oedipus comes upon
the scene and anawe a the riddle. The Sphinx
hurls herself from the cliff sad is destroyed.
At the present juncture the American
farmer is confronted with an industrial rid
dle which not to answer means the destruc
tion of the farmer who owns and tills his own
farm. Should such a calamity befall the
speedy dissolution of the republic is the in
evitable. "The Kiddle of the Sphinx" helps to a so
lutfon of tht se questions. Hence It appeals
to every man who is a lover of his eountry.
The book is powerfully written. No man
can read it withont btlng roused to think.
When men think, what then? safety.
The book is powerful, and yet it is written
in even temper and mild statement. lis pow
er lies in the marshalling of those facts which
no man can gainsay, and the statement of
these facts in so pure an Anglo-Saxon as not
o be misunderstood. The discussion of rente
dies shows that Mr Anhby is abreast of the
ablest thiakers of to-day. The book should
be read by everybody, and should be In every
farmer's houre as a book to be read aud re
real until every line in familiar. ,Tbe pub
lishers are especily anxious tot-ecu re agents
in every locality. State county and township
agents are wanted. (Seethe advertisement.)

A MUCH NEEDED REFORM.
Central Citt, Noy. 7, 1890..
Editor Alliance: Two matters are
apparently settled by the recent elec
tion. First, the license policy on the
saloon question will be indefinitely
continued. Second, the people have
decided that class legislation must Ce
blotted out in Nebraska. Amongtuany
thiBgs that must be attended to this
wiuter the Slocum law needs amending
in one important particular. As the
law now stands the license fees all go
into the treasuries of the cities and
towns, while the expense of the prose
cution of saloon criminals is paid by
the county at large. This is the worst
kind of class legislation. It discrimi
nates directly in favor of the people of
the towns aud directly against the farm
ing community. The fair thing to do
would be to so amend the license law
that all money derived from saloon
licenses should go into the county treas
uriea where it would inure equally to

Here we have six saloons pacing nearly
six thousand dollars a ear to three
small towns containing about one-fourth
of the population of. the county. Sup
pose that mouey was equally divided
between all the schools of the county iu
proportion to school population instead
of a few bchools in the towns, then all
the people ot the county would be bene-1
tiled equally, aud oue more uiece cf
class legislation would be knocked out.
Such a law would distribute about a
million of dollars among the couutry
schools of the state which now air goes
into the school fund of the towns and
cities. Is there any reason on eanh

The independent party of this state
has received no favors from the citi
and towns. In fact, Omaha and other
towns 'have used the most vile and dis
graceful tactics to defeat Gov. Powers
and the independent ticket. I don't
want the farmers to demand anything
that is not justly due them; but I do
want them to have every right to which
they are justly entitled. The propo-w d
law would be just and it would be tre
mendously popular. It would tend to
cement and strengthen the independent
party, and there is hardly an independent-voter
in the state who would not fa
vor the measure. Indepexdxnt.

only very simple reason why owners

is sound as national currency. The sin
