Editoh Alliance: Being a reader
of your valuable paper, and not seeing
any items from this quarter of the
globe, I take the liberty of dropping
an Item.
Although wo do not creato much of a
stir in this neck of woods we tro by no
means dead. The Farmers' Alliance is
moving slowly and surely ou in this
county at least. The Wasco County
Farmers' AUianco met at this place
Tuesday 13th Inst., and continued in
session two days. Every one was new
in the business, but enthusiastic and
hopeful, and the sentiments of the con'
ventionwejQ .voiced the qualHt
language of one of our Gertnan brothers,
"Dem money feller haf us held py der
pntches und neck long enough, besser
to oben der eyes oop und liud some,
dings oud." Helpful words were spoken
by Bro. LuVo Henry, an old war horse
of tho Nebraska Farmers' Alliance.
Hia words were Invaluable to us green
hands in the Alliance work, and they
contained several eye-openers, which
I think enabled some of us to see things
in a clearer light. The way some of the
old "hayseeders" handled such ques
tions as sub-treasury, national banking,
and school text book schemes would
have surprised some of our leading
lights in political lore. Th subjects
were handled ably, and if not in ac
cordance with pariiiueutary rules there
were tome statements launched forth
that would have puzzled any lawyer iu
Philadelphia to refute successfully.
The F. A. I. U. have quite a following
in this state and are still increasing;
they have the good fortune to have
Beveral good organizers in the field.
Our N. F. A, seems to be unfortunate
in this respect and needs a first class
man in the field. "Good things come
slow" and there te yet a "right smart
chance" for us to come to tho front.
The Wasco county Alliauce is com
posed of determined men and women,
and they propose to put a man in the
field as soon as thev get their (all work
done, if not before. There is one thing
assured, wnen lsys rolls around Alliance
or no Alliance, which ever the case
may be. (althoueh 1 hope we may be
well organized in the Alliance work in
this state by that time,) Nebraska
farmers will have no cause to be
ashamed of the report brought from
her brother farmers iu Oregon.
Very sincerely,
Henky Howe.
A Farmer Investigates and Argues for
Edgerton.
North Platte, Neb., Ojt. 20, 1891.
Editor Alliance-. Two months ago
I made careful inquiry in Omaha con
cerning the qualifications of Mr. Edger
ton for supreme judge. The result was
that I could find nothing against him.
I then enquired of Omaha's best re
publican lawyer there ingencral practice
and he informed me that he knew Mr.
Edgerton well and that he was an "up
right, honorable and able gentleman."
That hilest he was a young man and
did not know all of the law, he would
learn.
I became convinced then, Mr. Editor,
that every independent or anti-monopolist
should vote for Mr. Edgerton; and
I am convinced that every anti-monopo-list
in both parties republican or demo
cratic will vote for Mr. Edgerton, and
that he will receive two votes to Mr.
Prat's one. 1 publicly stated at the time
of the veto of the Newberry railway bill
that the independent supreme judge
would be elected by two votes to one for
the combined opposition, and still hold
to that belief.
When we take into consideration the
sapreme judjres who have been elected
by the republicaa party in this state we
lo not find any considerable per cent of
thorn who have been accused of being
vorr eminent lawyers, nor of Jmving bad
m Try extended practice; then why
ahoaldtho republicans insist upon the
independent candidate for judge having
so much greitt r preeminence than the
repnt'licau nomi.e?
e nut remember that Chief Justice
Marshall, one of lh most abltf aud emi
nent jmigHi in tho United States, knew
but Julie law when he wau (iit elected
j.idjje; yet be had good rtraight horse
seii.se ao.l ii:du?try which gaited bim
his prominence. Have we not every
reason to believe that Mr. Edgertoa has
the sane in aneiuiuent degreer Other
wise why did the conservative, reading,
thinking, deliberative, level headed
farr tera unanimously nominate bim.

Severe Loss by Fire.
Madrid, Neb., Oct. 20, lsiti.
Tho molasses factory of F. S. Bible at
this place was burned this morning
causing a loss of 150 to $500. The
workman having only time to escape
without their clothes. One horse being
burned, 400 to 500 gallons of sorghum

loss.
Mr. Bible is a hard working, honest,
christian man, and had tho misfortune
to lose his entire wheat crop this season
(about nlnoly acres) by hail storm; und
now to have the proceeds of his labor
consumed iu an hour or two is a heavy
blow and one which he is unable to stand.
Mr. ti. is a member of l'erkins Alli

The End la Nigh.
A plutocracy in Amorlca that is en
vied by the most powerful and privi
leged aristocracy of the old world, is
abundant cause for more dangerous
popular discontent in this country than
hove yet been manifested. When that
born aristocrat," the Duke of Marlbo
rough, notes its boldness and ngsrres
sive power, and writes in the Fortnight
ly Kevlew about the existence in the
United States of "an irresponsible rail
wr.y aristocracy far more dangerous in
it ways than any aristocratic class that
ever existed in Eugland," it is folly to
assume that either or both of tho old
parties can smothor the opposition of
the people to such an aristocracy and
its ways. Tho attempt to Binother is
far more likely to fail than is the at
tempt to build 1 victorious third party
on the popular opposition to the easy
acquiescence of the old parties in tho
growth of an American plutocracy.
The Salina Union: We do not ques
tion but that there was a time in the
existence of the Republican party
when Providence smiled on it as an
noncst administration. ihis was
when such men as John Shermans
Logan and others were using thoir
bost efforts for toiling humanity. This
was the time when "God and the peo
ple" was the cry. But there came a
change; Shorman turned a traitor to
the peoplo; Logan denounced him as
such, but pressure was brought on
him and he, too, was compelled to
swing ovor and to plead in justification
of his course that ho found that tho
people were not running our govern
ment Then came a long peciod iu
which God was forgotten and the peo
plo alighted. The chap with the
cloven foot took charge of tho party,
and he has had full sway up to the
present time. No, don't ask us to lay
it on the Almighty when wo can with
justice point to John Sherman and
say, "Thou art the man."

Farms in New England coitinuto
, be abandoned. According to the Bos
ton Herald, !p Mpahuiw;tt no Ik
i than In Vermont and New llampbire.
i The Herald recommends a c oinraission
to look these lands up and advertise
them, with the hope that Ihey will
bo taken up again by native New
Fnglanders who would again make
them attractive homes. It Is said
that the cause of tho abandon
ment of New England farms is
the eager desire of New England fami
lies to make money. Why, then, are
rot lhK( fai-tn t?.k?3 "P by o;;-
as IX". as abandoned, wuo wm ve
satisfied with comfortablo homes and
livings in return for frugal industry
and economy as of yore? It is In
vain to extenuate the matter. The
truth cannot bo bid. New England
farms no longer yirfd a living even
to an indiibtnous, tKilled, and eco
nomical cultivator. There they have
protected" home markets. W by is
their agriculture perishing? and why
are their protected industries being
transplanted lo tho South? And yet,
again, why are her peoplo unublo to
see that false statesmanship is deso
lating their fair land and destroying
the homes of tho people? Their
policy has created a class of -old
barons; usurers, with their creatures,
living in splendid cities, whose in
ferlor quarters aro overcrowded with
their industrial slaves, whose ration
is brought from tho far west, the
product of the toil of other slaves,
while tho surrounding farms and gar
dens and orchards are lying waste
and ruinous. It is from plutocratic
slavery that tho sons of the Puritans
have lied. And the daughters of the
far-famed Puritan maidens, where are
they? Whither have they fled from
the slavery at home? Without a re-
orsal of such a policy a catastrophe
of BOiiiO sort can not long bo delayed.
The statesmanship which seeks a
remedy for suoh a state of affairs in
force bills, and Harrison, and elec
tion plots, and the manipulation of
tariff schedules, is lamentably and
criminally fatuous and blind. Such
fundamental industrial conditions must
bo permanently established as will
equalizo the burdens of lifo upon tho
basis of equal rights for all, special
privileges for nono, or tho social fabric
will collapse, with what attendant
horrors no man can foretell. Econo

Thos. Jefferson dollnod the mission
and purposo of government, viz:
Tho sum of good government is a
wise and frugal government winch
shall restrain men from injuring ono
anotbor, which shall leave mon other
wise free to regulate thoir own pursuit
of industry and improvement; and
shall not tako from the mouth of labor
tho bread it has earned."
What is this government doing or
tho present democratic party proposes
to do to restrain men from injuring
one another, so far as the syndicates,
combines and trusts aro concerned ?
What does it propose to do to prevent
transportation companios from ex
panding and increasing their watered
Btock ad infinitum nnd laying tribute
on tho pooplo to give it value as well
as pay interest on it? What does it
proposo to do to prevent English lords
from converting this country into an
Ireland? That is in exact line
with tho duty of government
as enunciated by the founder
of the Domocratio party. Tho old
leaders and oHIeo-holdcrs proposo to
do nothing. They do not intond that
Jefferson's idea shall hnvo force and
effect; but, on the contrary, they pro
pose to thwart; defeat und prevent the
government from performing tho very
office that Jottorson said was tho "sum
of government" Yot they have the
effrontery to claim that they are fol
lowers of Jefferson, and that they are
directing tho piti ty ho founded in the
channels in which lie placed it! Their
audacity is only oquallod by thoir hy
pocrisy. Tho Alliauce Herald.

EDUCATION.
The
Watchword of the A'lian ce,
It
Stronirih ami Foundation.
Alliance men this is a year of
education, and until the campaign
opens you must devote your every
spare momont to the work. You
must read Alliance literature, attend
your lodges regularly, and discuss
with ono another tho issues of the
day, Don't let tho slanders of and 1
boasts of our enemies dioheartea or
distract you.
It we can get every farmer to
study Allianco doctrine, every farm
er will be an Alliance man; if we
can post every Allianceman as to the
true mission of our order, and let him
know the wrongs and oppressions to
Which he is subjected, and to which he
will continue to be subjected until he
asserts his manhood and wins his free
dom at tho ballot-box, all the schemes
and machinations of our foes will not
prevail.
The greatest danger we have te foar
is from ignorance. A farmer will
give ear to the plausible arguments of
gomo toa-n politician, ani greedily
swallow w hatever be says. That farm
er knows coining except what he
1) " r. and returns home with his mind
poisoned against the only organizat.oa :
that stands botween our agriculturists i
and slavery. lie has been trained to
bciievo that all the brsins and patriot- j
ism of the country aro concentrated in :
the cities and town and that his
farmer friends are as big fools as
himself. 0 therefore he turns his
back on the men who want to save
him. and help to ro-rivet the chains '
of bondage not only upon his own ;
limb?, but a'so upon the liujl?? of bis ',
t:-iio MiT.a. S7"! neighbors.
JJut let tb-j same larmer read up oa
the Alliance demands and study the
prept economic question of tho day.
He then ceases to be an automaton, to
do the bidding of the men who work
tho wires; but becomes a living,
breathing, thinking man a rational,
reasoning, intellectual creature such
as was designed by our Creator. Ho
then can and will answer argument
with argument and become a factor
in the great intellectual battle to be
fought in 1892. No sane man desires
to impoverish and enslave himself and
family, or will decline relief when
offered. This is just what every
farmer is doing to-day when ho re
fuses to affiliate with the Alliance
movement
All that we lack of having victory
and relief as good as secured to-day,
is from the ignorance of our agricul
tural classes as to their true interests:
They must be enlightened and edu
cated, and no time is to be lost Our
enemies rely on prejudice and ignor
ance to defeat tho farmers' movement
They never try to change an honest
alliance man who has studied the
Ocula platform, the tariff and finan
cial issues, and the history of past leg
islation, for they well know that it
would be a waste of time and breath.
Rut they know that there are a large
number of larmers in Georgia' as yet
steeped in ignorance, and on such
votes they rely, to use as cudgols with
which to break their own backs.
Brethren, this is a very important
matter and it must not be longer de
layed. See that good allianco litera
ture is placed in the hands of every
farmer in your settlement whether ho
be an allianco man or not If you
can find a paper that you think can do
bettor work than your state organ
take it Wo aro not working for our
own interests, God knows, but for tho
upbuilding and triumph of our noble
organization. Southern Allianco

WHISKY VS. SUB-TREASURY.
This Is the Way the Liquor Interest Is
Petted and Cared for.
The report of the commissioner
shows that on June 80, 1889, there
were 4, 576 registered distilleries, and
4,349 wore in operation. Tho amount
of grain used was 20, 910, 921 bushels,
nnd tho number of gallons of spirits
produced was 87, 887,456. The an
nual expanse of takinj caro of this
branch of the internal revenuo service
was fully $2,600,000. Tho average
amount of spirits warehoused for tho
past throe years i3 about 66, 000, 000
gallons, besides 7,465, 000 gallons held
for over-due taxei making in the'
whole about 73,500,000 gallons upon
which taxes have not bean paid. The
amount of this tax would bo 66,
150,000. The above facts aro given
simply to show what our government
has done and is doing for a class of
its citizens, and by inference to in
quire why it should not extend simi
lar privileges, only in a much loss
complicated form, to the agricultural
classes of tho country. Tha sub
treasury plan asks far loss of tho gov
ernment than is now granted to tho
distillers. As it is, the deposit of
tho spirits can romain iu tho ware
house for three years, during wh ich
time the government cares for it at a
cost of $2,600,000 per year, or $7,800,
000 for tho legal term. That is, tho
government really advances in sala
ries, etc., $7,700,000 before a legal do
niand could bo made for tho tax.
1 ho distiller has nothing to pay for
tho government employes, ho only
pays tho 90 cents per gallon tax.
When ppirits aro put in the ware
house a bond is givoa for the pay
ment of tho tax, and a certified copy
of tho wholo transaction is given tha
distiller. This copy of tha deposit
is good collateral security at any
bank, and to-day fully $70, 000, 000 of
credit curroncy is obtained upon this
class of securities, and why not?
The bond assures the payment of the
tax, and the government is tha cus
todian of tho property. The ageing
of the liquor pays the interest also
when it is sold th9 deater pays the
tax. Iu this mariner the distillers ob
tain the use of this vast am ount of
money absolutely free. Is it unfair to
ask that the farmer may have equal
privileges with the distiller? Is not
the farmer worthy of as much consid
eration from the government? Why
cannot the farmer be permitted to tako
his grain to government warehouses
for care nnd safe keeping. The dis
tiller is allowed to do so after the
grain has been transformed into spir
its. The banks have a credit with Hie
government of over 200.000.000 that
returns them a profit Tho distilleries
a credit of $70, 000, 000 that costs them
nothing. Why cannot tho f armor
have a credit that he is willing to pay
for? The sub-treasury plan contem
plates tho satue lino of legis
lation, only m".eh less compli
cated and fa" more satisfactory.
The same statutory laws that
row govern the warehousing of
spirits with but few amend ;ntnts,
would apply to the sub-treasury sys
tem. The innovation upon lawand
custom would cut no figure. It vio
lates no organic law and establishes
no now precedents. There are 4. 349
registered distillery warehouses, which
is more than double tho number of
sub-treasuries that would bo required
to carry out the sub-treasury plans for
many years. The cost of conducting
them certainly could bo no more.
Here is found a system already in
force, that with few amendments,
would meet the requirements of the
sub-treasury plan. The proposed plan
is, therefore, taken out of the province
of theory, and becomes simply a ques
tion of application. The peoplo de
mand its trial, and their demands are
sure to be heeded in the end. N. A.

Tho Industrial Union: Mr. Flin

farmer for corn and the farmer meet
ing Flin, who by the way was a car
penter, and tho farmer owed him ton
dollars for building his corn crib and
ho gave the ten dollar gold piece to
Flin, who took it to tho bank and
learned that the coin was counterfeit
Query, was Flin's rent paid? Did the

Tho Freeman: If tho editors of the

style. The Allianco countenance only
breaks into a broad smile as the eyo
beholds these mighty heads. And
again, those fish stories about the
"loaders" that aro constantly appear
ing serve to provoke laughter and
laughter only. The Alliance has its
own sources of information about its
leaders and their work, and upon
theso rely with absolute and serene
confidence. Space and labor could be
saved for some really good work, if
our big dailies could only realize
that thoir head-lines aud latest reports
about tho -leaders" were producing

far us tho Alliance is affected thereby.

draw to thorn. Thirteen states have
j already declared emphatically for
; those demands, and especially iho sub-
treasury plan. Let elbows touch
, brethren. The Alliance has either got
AO go down or Wall street rascal ily
must go. Which tdinll it be? Will
'you bo frco mou or will you bo slaves
to a moneyed aristocracy? Will you
vote for tho hirelings who are fighting
'your officer, and your order? The
j money power "is behind the throne."
'and wo urging on the dirty, filthy
j fight Let every mnn be 011 guard,
j Expose tho traducers of your order
j and your officers. Let the 'Bourbon
! Democracy" scream its devilisi. lies
and abuse. Their antics are harmless.
On with tho light.
The Feople's Press: Senator Sher
man says: "Tho man who is to-day
getting $1.50 a day. or $1.50 for a
bushel of wheat would find that undor
free silver the purchasing power of
that $1.50 would very rapidly drop to
$1.25, and that the 25 cent loss would
fall, not on the merchant or manufac
turer, but upon the man who labors or
who tills the soil That is the inox
orable law of trade, because the price
of commodities is fixed by tho mar
kets of the world, and can not bo
changed by any local legislation or the
vagaries of a single country."
Oh, dear! What a sweet, tender
sympathy this devoted (?) senator has
for tho man who labors and tills tho
soil. If all this burden is to fall oa
the man who tills tho soil why is it
that every capitalist, who neithcrtoils
nor spins, but lives off the sweets of
the land, is opposed to free coinage?
Does the senator suppose that ho can
draw the wool over the Ohio laboring
men's eyes to the extent of making
them believe that tho Eastern capital
ists are opposed to free coinage be
cause of tho great love they have for
tho laboring man? No. Tho senator
had best go on with his old tariff dis
cussion, because there aro a few yet
who are of the opinion that the sun
rises and sets in the tariff, but such in
consistent logic a3 thj above will not
fool any laboring man.
