THE FAKMEKS ALLIANCE, LINCOLN, NEB., THURSDAY, DEC. 21, 181)1. WHAT A HIGH TAEITF DOES. Ther. are several way. of collecting revenue for the support of gorernment Direct tax on all property valuation terms the most equable. City, country an4 state revenue ia mostly collected in this way. It wa the first plan of general government to collect lU reve nue in like manner, but it soon slid off upon the old KnglLshplan of taxing necessities of life, thus compelling the peor man to pay as much as the rich. Tax on imported goods is the first and chief method of replenishing the national treasury. In this there seems to be two ends to gain, one is revenue, the other is to force the prices of Amer ican goods higher and thus plant and sustaia monopolies. This end is gained with goods not supplied in this country in sufficient 'quantities to meet de mands. The greatest monopoly ever known in this country is the coal oil monopoly, under the head of Standard Oil Com pany. The oil trade never has yielded a dollar of revenue to the government. The tariff is so high that importation is entirely excluded. Why the rate is continued so high no one can tell unless it be for the sole purpose of making a billionaire of Rockefeller. This man boasts of having made two hundred millions during the last twenty five years, and all the other members of the company number their tens of millions. Everybody knows their method, which was to crush every little dealer and then buy the plant. All these thingi we could stand if it were not for the fact that Uncle Sam stands by. with his tariff club, twenty cents a gallon, and keeps every other nation off. Russia stands ready to im port oil and sell it at half the price the Standard Oil company demands; but twenty cents a gallon tariff keeps for eign oil out. Kockefeiier went to Kussia to Duy the wells there, but was told that the Czar owned everything valuable under the surface of the ground. Kussia has one well that yields more oil than all the wells in the United States, and she competes in all European markets at half the price oil is sold for in this country. She would sell oil to-day in LincolB, at half the present pri.;e wera it not for the tariff. Now why not take off the tariff and compel the Standard Oil Company to sell oil as cheap in America as in Europe? There is this about it, no man would make two hundred millions during the next twenty-five years if it were done. Much of the oil shipped to Europe is sent in tin cans. It is said that Rock efeller went -to McKinley and told him that he must let oil alone and give him a rebate on the tin he exported or he would kill his bill. This was granted. so ninety-nine cents out of every dollar mat is paid on tin, as tans, is paid eack to the Standard company. The same tnriff stands and the process of making a billionaire in America goes on, an animal not known in history. It is handy for the old party to have such men to tax lor election purposes. H. W.

THE SUB-TBEASUBY PLAN. Decatur, Neb., Dec. 7, 1891. Editor Alliance-. Many of the re form papers are demanding the sub treasury plan or something better. I am willing to meet in public discussion, any man or woman in the world and ailirin that I have a plan to accomplish the ends of gorvernment as sot forth in tho preamble of the constitution of the United States, that if far superior to tho sub-treasury plan or any other plan that has ever been offered or can be offered. What the people want is employment that pays, homes free from mortgage abundance of money in circulation and a system of revenue without taxation. My plan proposes all these things, and the man don't live that can bring an argument against it. i'he New York clergymen ara dis cussing the fello wing question: "How can this world be made a better blade to live in?" p I mako the following proposition to the clergymen and laymen of the United M;e: That at Ut one thou- creaW . prij,. of one thousand dollar. to bo given to the au.hor of the bett essay in answer to the question : "How can this world be made a bitter place to live in?"

The fall term of the district court for Gage coun ty closed last evening. Immediately following the adjournment Judge A. Hardy, president of the Gage Bounty Bar association, submitted the report of a special committee appointed for the purpose snd moved its adoption, The report was adopted by an unani mous vote and is as follows: Whereas. In the mutation? o'life. the time has come when Hon. J. H.Broady, who has so ably, patiently, faithfully and impartially presided over the dis trict court of tkis county for the last eight years, must retire from that hon orable position and once more take his place in the ranks of his profession as practicing attorney; and Whereas, He intends to remove from this county and district to our sister county of Lancaster and the capital of our state, there to engage in the prac tice of bis profession; and Whereas, We, the bar of Gage coun ty, are desirous Jof placing on record some token of our appreciation of Mr. Broady as a Judge, lawyer and a citizen of our county; therefore be it Resolved, By the bar of Gage county Nebraska, that, in tha retirement of Judge Broady, the district bench of Ne braska loses one of its most learned, impartial, faithful, gentlemanly, pains taking and pytient judges that ever sat upon it, the bar of the district loses an able, faithful and upright lawyer, and the county a citizen whom it has always delighted to honor, and of whose record it has just reason to be proud of. Resolved, That we commend Judge Broady to the bar of our Bister couaty as a lawyer of large and long experience both as a practiiioneer and a judga, who has been equally successful ia both positions and also as a genial gentleman whom they will find it a delight to know and a pleasure to meet either as a private citizen or as an associate at the bar. Resolved, That a copy of these resolu tions be spread upon the records of this court, asd a certified copy thereof be delivered to Judge Broadv and also published in the tt'orld-Herald. A. . JSIBB, L. M. Pemberton, J. E. Cobby. Following the adoption of the resolu tions speeches were delivered eulogis tic of Judge Broady by Attorneys R. S. Bibb, S. A. Rinaker, It. W. Sabin and . O. Kretsinger. Judge liroaay matte a brier acknowl edgement, being unable to make an extended speech, because of being near ly overcome with emotion over the kindly and unlooked for expressions of esteem as embodied in the foregoing. Here Is Another. Out in California they have a new version of the rebel brigadier story. The Times has it in this way: 'One of the veterans at the Soldiers' home ! T sajfs muii uii. u, li-i v in, president or the Farmers' Alliance, was during tho war one of the guards at Anderson ville. -D n him,' says the old fet he stood over me with a musket and tried to starve me to death. I don't want him to come and preach fratern ity, the love of God and politics to me now.'" Last year in Kansas it was at Gettys burg that President Polk's cruelties were practiced. This year the Kansas old soldier . racket h:is been centered on Saulsbury; but the old California veteran, not having road tha Kansas Republican papers very attentively, has Col. Polk doing guard duty with musket at Andersonvilla Verily President Polk must have run the con federacy, and been everywhere pres ent during the late unpleasantness." Confederate military tactics must also have differed somewhat from the tac tics of the balance of the civilized world, as this is the only instance on record of a "brigadier general" per forming guard duty with a musket. Advocate. Think of Tlipae Pact. Some things to be borne in mind, we respectfully suggest, are enumerated and specified below: 1. The railroads of this country are collecting I'.'OO. 000. 000 each year on ficticious bonds and etocks. 2. The Western Union Telegraph company is demanding and collecting high dividends on $4 -',000, 000 of ad mittedly watered stock. 3. If the railroads were confined to 8 per cent dividends on the cost of construction, one-half the present passenger and freight tolls would pay such dividends aud all running ex penses. 4. The general government could duplicate the Western Union lines for j one-fourth tha amount or. Which it now pays dividends. 5. Win. L. Scott, the great coal baron, says that the proper way of controlling labor is to "make tbe la borer eat to-day what he can earn to morrow." The New York Tribune says that the "small farmers must sell their farms to landowners and become tenants. San Francisco Stn r. The Fioneor Exponent: The cohe sive power or public plunder is one thing which has a tendency to cement the leaders of the two old parties to gether, and causeth them to sleep under the same blanket whenever OLD TOM'S CHRISTMAS DINNER. Be U4 Set Oat Im V.mt T Fmhb, bat Had Mlacltlaga. I had been invited to eat dinner that Cbratwas with the colon !. While we were waiting fur the nival to be nerved the colonel regaled me with a 'poaaum story about a nigger I owned befo' the wah." "You see," said he, "old Tom was Tery fond of 'possum, and would go to any length to secure one fur hit dinner. It was just befo' Christina in '57, 1 think, that Tout managed to capture a large, fat 'jxjskuui, which bo skinned and pre pared fur cooking on Chnstnuw day, When all was ready be went into bis cabin, took his prise out of the locker and toon had it roasting on the spit Some sweet potatoes were added to the menu, and old Tom's eyes fairly rolled with delight as he thought of the feast in store tor him. "The prorpect before him evidently caused Tom to feel drowsy, fur in a few minutes Tom was sound asleep and snor ing at a great rate. Through a chink in the cabin a pair of eager, envious eyes had been taking in the scene. The eyes belonged to another nigger of mine named 'Biz Jim.' Well, the sight was more than Jim could staud. The cabin door was slyly opened, and ia Jim stalked. 'Urn I' said be as neared the fire. The 'possum was just about done and to a turn. 'Urn! said Jim again as he jabbed a stick into the animal aud held it up before him. With many grunts of satisfaction Jim soon had that 'possum picked clean, nor did he forget the sweet potatoes, which, flavored with the possum fat, were devoured with the keenest relish. "The meal over, Jim approached the sleeper, and taking up some of the 'pos sum bones he smeared old Tom's lips and face with them and then hurried out Very soon Tom awoke. In a stupefied way he looked around him, saw the bones and tiotato skins lying about aud smacked his lips as he tasted of the 'pos sum fat with which Jim had smeared bis face. " 'Dunno,' said Tom, in great bewil derment; Mar's de bones and dia yere tastes like 'possum, but somehow' (pat ting the region of his stomach) 'it don't appear as if any 'possum was down yere; 'spec I inus' have eat 'em; but I'se pow' ful hungry all the same. Pse pro'bly eat dat 'possum while I'se asleep.' With this reflection Tom rolled over and went to sleep again." New York Herald. A Bad Itnj's Christmas.

The old and pleasant custom of deck ing our houses and churches at Christ mas with evergreens is derived from an cient heathen practices. When Druid ism existed the hpnses were decked with evergreens in December that the sylvan spirits might repair to them and remain unnipped with frost and cold winds until a milder season had renewed the foliage of their darling abodes. The cutting of the mistletoe was a ceremony of great solemnity with our ancient an cestors. The people went in procession. The bards walked first, singing canticles and hymns; a herald pmrded three Druid wit li implemeuta fur the pnrpun. Then fallowed the princ of the Druid, ac companied by all the people. He mount ed the oak, and cutting the mistletoe witb a golden sickle, presented it to the other Druid, who received it with great reert, and on the first day of the year distributed it among the people aa a sa cred and holy plant, crying, "The mis tletoe for the new year" uecause it was usea in the pagan rues or the Druids, the mistletoe baa never been used in the decoration of Christian churches, and it, therefore. had its place assigned it in the kitchens and halls, where it was hung up iu great state with its white berries, with the charm attached to it that the maid who was not Wd under it at Christ mas would not be married iu that year, St Louis Globe-Democrat CHRISTMAS NOTES.

From the editor's almanac About this time plant Chrismas poems in the wastebasket Boston Post The old "Shepherd's Kalendar" has this much to say about Christmas weath er: "if the sun shino clear and bright on Christmas day it promiseth a peaceable year from clamors and strife, and fore tells much plenty to ensue; but if the wind blow stormy toward sunset it betokeneth sickness in the soring and autumn quarters." The Dsbt We Owe. Competent persons who have trior, aughly investigated the matter, agree that American citizens owe aliens 11, 000, 000, 000. They also agree that the annual interest is not less than 7 per cent Estimating our population at 64,000.000. the annual interest on this debt Is $770, 000, 000, or $12 per capita, or over G0 for each voter. If Wash ington, Jefferson. Franklin and their compatriots hud agreed to pay the English aristocracy one-half this an nual per capita tax, would there have been any revolution? Common sense furnishes the answer. The demands made on us by Eng land in 1774 were small compared with this great sum, yet, by some means, we have put ourselves in a far worse position than were our fore fathers. Thoy rebelled and con quered, but we have no alternative but legislation. It is the duty of out national legislators to protect us. What have they done? They have sold us to foreign capitalists and wo cnn help ourselves. The passage of , . e national panning nci was tne be ginning of the terrible business; what will be end Progressive t armor. Money Has no Intrlnsle Value. Attorney General Akerman, in speaking of the legal tender act, said: We repoat money is not a substance, but an impression of legal authority a value." North American Review. "An article is determined to be money by reason of the performance by it of certain functions, without regard to its form or substance." Ap pleton's American Encyclopedia. Metallic money whilst acting as money, is identical with paper money in respect to being destitute of value.. Coia 80 lonfT a8 il circulates (or the purpose of buying and selling, loses its intrinsic valuo. As commodities, gold and silver ara capital, but as money they are mere representatives of value." Charles Moran, of France, 1ft his work on money. Abolisb National Banka. The treasury handled, under Re publican treasurers from the begin ning of the war until the eleotion of Cleveland, more millions of dollars than has been in all National banks of the country during all that time, and yet when Mr. Manning took possession of the treasury department there was just one cent unaccounted for. Again, when a Republican succeeded Mr. Manning, after four years of Demo cratic rule and handling in that time of two billions of dollars, there was just one silver dollar missiugand that was afterwards found in a crevico in the floor. The government conducts its business honestly. The record ot bank failures show that 20 per cent of the ;e establishments have gone down to wreck and ruin bocause of the incompetency of their officials. There is no need of any other or stronger proof of tho fact that the Alliance ideas are right. Alliance Tribune. Tweedlededum and Tneedledee. In Kentucky the whisky mon are troubled about the over produc tion of liquor. It is estimated that there is a surplus of 40, 00 -000 gallons on hand. It is pro ca ble that congress will be asked to relieve the market by extending the three years bonded period now allowod for the payment of taxes on liquor. It will take about $18,000,000 to pay the taxes this fall unless this is done. When the farmers ask a similar in dulgence on their grain before it is made into liquor, tho howl goes up from politicians that the farmers are crazy.
