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.

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 essay to be in the
form of a memorial to congress and
none to contain more than five theusadd

EULOQIZmO JUDGE BROAD Y.
The Gage County County Bar Passes Reso
lutions Commending Him.
Beatrice, Neb., Dec. 15. 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.

Christmas Evergreens.
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.

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.

In Kentucky the whisky mon are
troubled about the over produc

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.
