Toe East Against the West.
El!tOR FiKVKS' ALUASCE:
,Thcr are at least three questions, up
far Mttlemeni before the Am tic an peo
ple which have ditiact westtrn as well
as eastern sides. These semine sec
tional interests have their origin in ex
isting conditions. Up to this time the
east has failed to recognize the interests
of the west as differing from their own,
so have made or controlled the making
of laws for their own interest without
consulting the wet. This has been
going oa so long they now think it their
right to dictate all our national lsws
without consulting us, or our interest
Let us fintt look at the difference of
existing conditions of the two sections.
First, the eastern people are manufac
turers. The larger portion of thoir man
ual toilers are faetorymen, and when
titer speak of labor they only refer to
the work done la the factory. The
western people are mainly farmers
The majority of them work for them
selves, with their own brain, tbelr own
muscle and tbeir own capital. The
amount of work they do as com
pared to factory work is as three to one
Second, what aro known as eastern peo
pie are located along the Atlantic coast,
right upon the great natural high way
or the world- j ho western people are
located hundreds and thousand of miles
inland. ,; '
Third, the eastern people poises the
accumulated Health of fenerations. Iui
mense fortunes have been banded down
from father to son, Tbcy are bankers
and lenders. The western people are
comparatively poor. Their possessions
are their own earnings. They are bor
rowers.
Now those three dissimilar conditions
make two sides to throe of the questions
now up for settleuiont, namely the tar
iff, the transportation and the currency
questions. -,'
A protective tariff means protection
for the manufacturer without reference
to the farmer. Protecting American
labor against panper lalwr of other
countries, means protoctlng factory la
bor, not farm labor. Protection weans
a higher price for things protected than
wbat they would bring without tariff.
If the farmer could get that higher price
for his produce then there would be no
grounds of complaint. But no, he must
sell on the freo trado market of the
world or at borne, less transportation,
and then pay protective prices for all
his supplies. He raises cattle, fences
them with high protected wire, shelters
them with high protected lumber, salts
them with high protected salt, mowi !
hay for them with a high protected ma
chine, and then when they are ready for
market and they are fat and heavy they
will net him ten dollars a hoad more, to
sell thorn in Liverpool, than any where
else. Now where does he get any bene
tlfcromahlgh protective tariff? The
same will hold good for pork, wheat,
corn, cotton did, dairy products. Tne
Iron man can exchange1 his high tariff
iron for high tariff cloth, and let one
hand wash tho other; but the farmer
must exchange his produce atie trado
S rices for high tariff cloth and Inn,
ow would it be any mora than Justice
to let tho farmer exchange bis produce
for his supplies, wherever he can do It,
on tne same kuv m yncesi wig pje
Oh both sides or clae hw prices on both
sides. This Inequality, giving the east
high prices for their labor and selling
ours at low prices, is what the west is
kicking about: or rather it is the law
that causes this inequality that is kicked
at. The factory men to-day get double
the wattei our farm hands do; besides
working less hours for a day. Give us
equality neiore tne law.
Our location is the reason wc demand
heap transportation. Our rivers and
lakes win not answer; we must have
steel rails. It seems unjust to invite
railroad companies to build roads, then
turn round ana dictate what tuey shall
charge. But the government can buy
or build roads and run them, as they
carry the malls, and charge actual cost.
The east have had hundreds of millions
of government money to build free har
bors; now give tne west as much to
build free railroads thon we will be
even. The bar la our way Is the fact
that the east owns our roads, and are
turning out millionaires, a full crop
every moon, as cabbage plants from
hot-bed, and they are all mado such out
of the earnings or the western farmer.
They ridicule the idea of building sto
raze for farmers' grain, but it is all right
to build storage by the acre for whisky
and for imported goods,. Now is not
the farmer just as good as the distiller
or importer? Railroads are a new na
tional necessity, not fifty years old. and
it is not sate to leave Individuals or
compauiet to supply this necessity. The
government should do it just as they
carry malls, coin money, build hnrbors
ana enst cannon, rive cents win pav
actual cost of transporting a butlud of
.Nebraska corn to aow loik.
Then In regard to the currency ques
lion all we ask is the same condition
that existed w ben we borrowed, so far
as tbe law I concerned. We borrowed
paper, silver aud gold dollars, and we
want the pru liege ol paying tbe same
kind and sU tack again. To enlarge
ton uivcr uuuitr wpuki iw inn a ma-
bonrat as to make the g ld dollar small

- f rt 1 .! Mtat, Feb,S mi.
KiiTOK Ailunck: At a constant
reader of Te Au-ussce, which in mv
estimation is the best paper published
in the state, and as I not'ue correspon
denee from all parts, I thought a few
words from these parts would not be
out of place. The independent party is
stronger now than it was at our last
election provided it puts itself in array
against all the evils that at present
afflict the producing classes. I noticed
Union Alliance has passed a resolution
to treat with contempt any effort to
fuse with the prohibition party. Now
l am not in favor of fusion with any
party, out absorbing, iet us put our
selves arigbt'ou tbe question regarding
tne utior tramc ana tnere win be no
prohibition partv to fuse with; and as
Brother Johnson says, whv should not
tbe saloon be on the list? lint says some.
if we do, a great many will leave the
party. 1 es, J supitose they will; but
good many will leave if we don't; and
now 1 think it remains for us to decide
which class we prefer to retain. Let us
remember thitt W2.M) voted for prohK
diiioo at our last election, now many
of these votes do we want or how many
can we get along without aro questions
mat we snouia carer uiiy conauier; ana
last but not least let us stand for right
ana iukiiuc. jnow it is evident to all
careful observers that the saloon is tbe
strongest weaiiou in the hands of mo
nopoly. ljow are we to successfully
overcome our enemy if we dare not act
upon tne scriptural injunction that to
overcome a strong man well armed, it
Is necessary to take away from him tbe
armor wherein he trusted, and divide
hi spoils. .
l ours Mr tiou. Home and the Amni i
can Republic, L. CiMituso.
The Old Parties are Afraid of the Real
. ' Issue.
Will some old time moss-back who
has been bowing before a republican or
democratic altar all his life pause long
enough In his devotions to Inform us
what he has been voting for? Can you
point out a single Instance where either
party hesitated to champion the cause of
the rich against tbe poor? Can you put
your lingers on any laws they have en
acted for the benefit of the tolling mass-.
es? i our leaders have said tariff was
the Issue; and tho poor people, whoso
Interests cannot but be identical, have
separated and fought each other like
tigers over this issue. iPoordupes! Too
blind to know you are playing into tho
hands cf your enemies! Tariff has been
kept before the people for no other pur
pose than to blind them to the real uues-
tions of the day. Two years ago the re
publicans all shouted "protection ;' Now
at the dictation of their king, they yell
- reciprocity, wnicn is out another name
for free trade. When will tho woDla
think for themselves? When will thev
refuse to be duped by tbe sophistry that
their leaders are feeding them upon?
It is freely admitted that the tariff
question is the only point of difference
between the democratic and republican
parties; yet two men, working in tbe
same shop, receiving tho same pay, buy
ing tho same articles of food and cloth
ing, vote for different candidates, claim
ing to advocate principles directly an
tagonistlf to each other. Which one
is right? Certainly not both of them.
The laboring man will never prosper
until be shakes off the old partv mana
cles and votes for principles of reform
that go bolow and beyand the trjn"q"e-:

In assuming control cf this depart
ment allow me to say that I need some
help, therefore, I ask that each secre
tary or headman in insurance work re
port to me your progress in organizing
your local company.
There are several companies in the
state that have been running some time
(some of them for many years) under the
law for Unincorporated mutual insur
ance companies. A report from the sec
retaries of the companies would be very
profitable reading. Let us hear from
you, please.
Some of the companies now running
are already taking steps toward com
ving with the new law, which takes
ect July 1st, and allows the county
companies to incorporate.
ibere are companies w in the
counties of Thayer, Kichardson. Saun
ders, Hamilton, Douglas, Burt, Henry,
Pawnee, and others that I cannot call
to mind Just now, and in several coun
ties the County Alliances have taken
steps to organize. Among them are
Buffalo and Lancaster counties. In the
latter the contingent applications are in
print and by next week several thou
sand will be written if all signs do not
full. 1 will also have some Contingent
vycione Applications priuteu ana we
must have msny thousands written and
must cover a large territory before we
can organle, from tbe tact that if
there is a loss at all. It no doubt would
be too large for a company with a small
amount at risk to pay. Therefore, let
us all join hand, and while your men
are canvassing fr insurance for your
local fire and listlittiiuir r upinies thev
can also canvass for a stale cj clone com
pany and save expense to both. I
would like to have all insurance news
In the state, and can make this column
an Interesting one to all mutual men it
I can have reports from the compa
nies, such as date of organization,
amount at r!k, losses paid, total cost
per $1,000 for last year, and for all
time company has been running,
whether stops are being taken to incor
porate, etc., etc. If you are doing a
saving business let the people In other
i'uuiii-a iiuw il aim imry win oe
prompted to organize . sooner and
stronger. -'" ' '

Marquis de Beaumsnoir said there was
no nse to add to treaties. The French
Were at borne on their own shores and

there. M. Ribot, minister of foreign
affairs, said the government had con

Tha Recent Archaeological Discov
riee In Egypt.
The Cairo correspondent of tbe
Timet! (tends the following additional
particulars renperting the recent re
markable discovery at Dier el Aliiri;
Tlie site of t be discovery is east of tire;
Temple of Quoen Fatasou, in a small
spot previounly undisturbed, amidst
the excavations made by the late Mar-
iette Bey and Brugsch Pasha. A well
shaft of 15 metres leads to a doorway
locked with large stones, opening on
a gallery 75 metres lone whence a
staircase, descending 5' metres, con
ducts one to a lower gallery 12 metres
n length, both lying north and south.
The lower gallery gives access to two
mortuary chambers, four and two
metres square respectively. At the
top of the staircase is a transverse
gallery 64 metres long, lying east and
west, the object of tt Indus unknown.
Tbe total underground area is about
lo3 metres, excavated in t lie lime
stone rock to over 03 ft.- below tbe
surface. The same disorder reigned
anionust the contents of the tombs us
was found when the famous
royal mummies were dixrovered nine
years ago. Sitrcoplmgi were
pilod upon sarcophagi, and alongside
were boxes, baskets of flowers, sta
tnettes, funeral olTcrinsa, and boxes
crnmmed with papyri. There is every
indication that the place, though orig
inally constructed is a vast tomb,
tvns chosen for hurried concealment in
me of tumult. Home of theexteriors
of tho mummy cases are unusually
richly decorated with religious sub
jects, carefully depicted; others of
large size enclose iniiiiiiiiies in a brok
en condition, and were apparently
procured hastily, as the space for the
occupants' names are left unwritten
Upon. The contents of the papyri are
yet unknown, but hopes are enter
tuined that the writings are of per
manent IiiMtoricnl interest, and have
been thus hidden to avoiddeatruct.ion.
The mummied are priests and priest
esses of Amnion, Aniibis, rVti, Men ton,
and Queen Aahhotep, numbering 10JJ,
the latest belonging totlielst dynas
ty. Sevenly-iive pnpvri were found
in boxes in the form of statuettes of
Osiris. Kncli mummy is also expect
ed to contain more or less valuable
manuscript. The collection in en
route in barges by tho Nile, and will
prooaoiy reacn cairo in a lew aays.
Use of Oil at Sea.
The use of oil at sea continues to be
regarded by experienced masf.ors of
vessels as an excellent means of pro
tection in stormy weather. A num
ber of recent reports on the subject,
printed in America, afford striking
testimony to the efficacy of the
method. Captain Rogers, Br. s. s.
Congo, for instance, w rites thus: "Ijft
jiverpool, January 18, 1891, for New
York; arrived February 8. At 4 a.m.,
February 4, it was blowing a hurri
cane, ship taking some very heavy
seas aboard. Put her before the wind,
stopped the engines, and put an oil
bag out on each quarter. Ship rode
out the liurricane splendidly, and
without shipping any water what
ever." Chief OHicer Miller, Am, brig.
Marena, writes: "During the gale which
began on January 10, hit. 32deg.
SOmin. N., long. 75deg. 20min. W.,
and ended on January 12, lot. 34deg.
40min. N., long. Tideg. 4."inin. W.,
wind from south to west-north-west,
the vessel was hove-to and a liemp
canvas bag was partly lilled with
oakum, saturated with lish oil. The
bag replenished every two hours, and
was allowed to just dip into the sea
from the lee quarter. The oil was
used for 24 hours, and as the vessel
lay quite easy ami shipped no heavy
seas it proved a great success. The
captain is always provided with a full
supply of fish oil (which hu considers
the best), and all appliances for in
stant me."
Electric Poles In Berlin.
In Berlin tbe electric arc lamp poles
are things of beauty. They are more
properly brackets than poles, though.
The taps from theinains in the streets
are curried under the sidewalk to the
iiouscwall and then up to the sur
face. At tho sidewalk begin a hand
some scroll work affair tf iron, which
runs up the house and then out over
the street, supporting tbe arc lamp.
Near thelitis is a panel door provided
with lock and key. Back of rbe pa mil
is a coiiipartint-iit holding the fuse,
strip and switch, and a haudlo which
fits on the square head of a windlass
sluift projecting front one side of the
compartment.

Tlie tltcanicrs lilleil with fresh wut-r
are set in shallow tanks containing
brine, which remains liquid lielow tbe
teiiiiratiire at which fresh water
freezes. In contact with these tan kit
are receivers, which can b kept
charged with newly formed ether v;t
Kr. The chilling vapor cools tho
brine, and this in turn takes heat
from the water iu the decanters,
which soon freezes.
In making ice on the large scale,
either ammonia or sulphurous oxide
is ued instead of ether, because these
substances are cheaper and are not
inflammable. The Popular Science

Why Soldiers Break Ranks.
There are very few bridges in tbe
world over which troops are not al
lowed to.mnrch in regular step. In
general, when, coming to a bridge,
particularly a suspension bridge, tho
drums or bands are stopped, the
array is broken, and the soldiers
pass over without keeping step, or,
rather, taking pains not to keep
step.
T e reason is found in the fact that
very slight initiul vibration, if con
tinued, is imparted to the whole
structure, rind in a short time be
comes so strong a downward strain
at every recurrence as speedily to en
danger the safety of the strongest
bridge. . ; ..
1 lie same principle is illustrated in
some houses, which can be made to
tremble from roof to foundation by
by persistently and reculiirly pressing
with the foot on a loose board in one
ot the floors.
A similar curious circumstance is
seen in the case of certain churches in
which it is dangeroui to play tba
heaw nedfll nines of n. m-nnil nroan
for the reason that the vibration be-
omes so great as to shatter the
panes of glow hi the windows, and
eteu to imperil the safely of the roof.

Flra Proof Papers.
A composition to be used for render
ing paper and other substances orma
terlal fire proof is mude as follows:
Take of sulpha te of ammonia, T parts;
phosphate of ammonia, 5 parts; sal
ammoniac, 2 parts; sodium tung
state, 6 parts and ch ar water 100
parts. These materials or substances
are thoroughly mixed and commingl
ed together, the result being a clear
olorless liquid; in which the solid
Jfn m ten ai lit;i,t in lMl!l;ijIUII, iUV
paperor otherfabric which it isdosired
to render tire-proof is dipjied into
this solution and thoroughly impreg
nated or saturated therewith. It is
then removed and dried without
wringing, when it is ready for ironintf.
Tho ironing or mangling should be
performed with brass plates so as to .
avoid any liability of spotting the
material. Fabrics thus impregnated
with the solution will be rendered
almost absolutely fire-proof, as they
will not burn with a blaze under the -highest
temperature, but simply be
charred or carbonized.
Lifts In French Houses, ,.
Lifts, or elevators, as our American
cousins call them, are much more
frequently to bo found in Paris houses
than was the case some years ago,
when they were confined almost ex
clusively to hotels. The French ara
great conservatives in their way, and,
as a rule, only adopt some improve
ment or invention when its advant
ages have been tested thoroughly by
more go-ahead nations. One or two
bud accidents w hich occurred when the
ascenseur was iirst introduced here
created a prejudice against it, but
this feeling has since been overcome to f
a considerable extent by the horrors
of. climbing up hundreds of stairs
which people with a fair circle of
friends to visit have to undergo in the
course of the day. So the lift is becom
ing a recognized institution in tho

sorely by those who haTe grown ac
customed to its use.
Dangeroue Ink.
There has recently been placed up
on tho market in Europe an ink
which seems to be identical with a
preparation advertised about twenty
years ago as "disappearing ink," the
sale of which was finally prohibited by
the government on the account of the
dangerous use it was put to by un
scrupulous parties. The ink is a
watery solution o. iodide of amylum,
It produces tieniitiiu! blue-block wrtt-
ina. which beeins to fade after a few
days, and disappears entirely after
the lapse of a week. It can tie easily
imagined bow dangerous this ink can
be when need by swindlers for notes,
acceptances, etc., but, on tho other
hand, many n intliticinn in the tinted
Plate might have wtid lilierally for a
bottle had he known of it existence.
