ty Iowa has been sending east to
money lenders $22,000,000 a year
interest on loans. At the average price
of corn, 22 cents, it has taken $100,000,
000 busheis a year of this product of
hard labor to pay it. It was not "sweat
for sweat," but the sweat of western
slaves providing a luxurious income for
the idle rich. Labor exchanged for
equal labor is freedom; labor without
labor in exchange is slavery.
tW Rev. Leighton Williams delivered
an address recently before the Working
Women's society of New York, and
among other things he said: " I stand
here to-night as the representative of a
small but rapidly increasing number of
men in clerical and professional life
who are allying themselves with the
manual workers of the country for the
enfranchisement and elevation of la
bor." ty Mr. Stead in the Review of Reviews
urges the opening of at ltast one "tem

commonly called coffee houses, have
been a financial succes in the cities of
England, aad have very perceptibly re
duced the patronage of surrounding sa

ty Money issued by the government
direct to the people for services received
or security given at the cost of doing
the business, would reduce interest to
the cost of making out and caring for
the papers or other securities two per
cent or less. This would, almost en-,
trely destroy the power of capital to
absorb, and would leave the producer
the full product of his labor.
ty In the second edition of "Con

inevitable a popular revolt which shall

ty We are glad to notice, the success
of business firms in Lincoln, and especi
ally those who advertise in Thk Farm
ers' Alliance. - Such have wisely used
the means of success and naturally get
there. "The Leader" firm, Colin &
Harris, 1211 O street who have been
advertising with us, have been obliged
to enlarge their store to accommodate
increasing trade. Of course the adver

tyEev. Dr. Phelps says, "God's
method of working is marvelous! v demo
cratic; he cares not for birth,, or rank, or
culture, but only lor numbers." les,
people don't believe it but it is a fact.
And the reason for it is, that God gives
the highest birth and infinite culture to
each of his children. The poor, the
despised, the ignorant, he delights to
enrich, honor, and educate. The empty
heart has boundless love to receive, the
weak and ignorant mind is susceptible
of constant growth, the capacity to al
ways receive, increasing endlessly in
knowledge and power. The meek God
hath chosen to inherit the earth, and
the weak to confound those that are
mighty. "Call no man master, for one
is your master, even Christ, and all ye
aro brethren."
ty Opie P. Read, whose latest book
Jimmet Bonlore" is on sale at this of
fice, tells a story in the Chicago Express
of a doctor who for amusement learned
telegraphy and was an expert in taking
messages. While waiting in ajdepot he
neard the operator s instrument click,
and began himself taking the messasre
mentally. It informed him of the clos
ing or a deal, tnat a orancn railroad was
to be run into a certain town near, and
that shop. and factories were to be
built. In the message was a caution to
keep mum. as the property owners of
the town did not know of the scheme,
and wo !ld double the price of their land
If they knew Tie doctor saw his op
portunity, borrowed money, and with
his own bought up the best part of the
towB to be improved. He is now worth
$15,000,000. But what unjust property
and land laws are thef of ours, which
separate wealth from the producers of
wealth, making land titles sponges
which absorb a part of each day's labor

say that we are highly pleased with it
It is exactly as represented only the

but it voices the. seatiments of th i peo

To If eat Producers and Consumers.
Ashland, Neb., Jan. Tib, 9.
Editor Farmers' Alliance : lb your
paper of Dec. 24th, under the head of
Omaha notes, I find some startling
statements, if true.
1st. That the price paid to the farm
ers for live hogs was about 1 cts per
lb lower than in Oct. last.
2nd. That the price paid by the city
butchers was U cts higher for dressed
meats, making a raise of 1J cts to tbe
consumers and at the same time a fall of
U cts per lb to the producer.
8rd. That tbe butqhers dare not kill
and dress the meat they soli.
4th. That the butchers are compelled
to buy all the meat they sell from pack
ers for cash, and have not a word to say
about the price they pay.
5th. That consumers are compelled
to pay such hi; h prices that they have
to go witnout plenty oi times wnen iney
want meat.
0th. That the packers pay their em-
Eloyees low wages and work them long
ours.
7th. That there is some talk among
organized laboring men of starting a
co operative meat company ior tneir
own protection.
8th. I will add that there is some
talk of farmers starting co-operative
joint stock companies for the purpose of
killing, packing and selling their live
stock and protecting themselves. That
is right, I know, lor protection la the
fundamental principle our government
is run on, and it must be right.
Now it appears there are three classes
interested in this great packing busi
ness, the producers, the packers and
consumers. If I can say or do any
thing for the benefit of the first and tbe
last X am right here to do It, and 1 con
sider the paukerti are like a high railroad
official once told me. He said the Co.
was abundantly able to take care of
itself. Now if co-operation would be
good for Omaha it would be good for
the whole state. If good for Nebraska
it would be rood for the whole country.
The same as protection and contraction;
and we see their benefits in & very few
places in every city and town in the
country Would co-operation for the
fmrpeses mentioned pay? We will see.
fine producers owned and operated
tbe packing houses in Omaha, there are
two classes they could do witnout, viz:
Local buyers and commission men. I
estimate that the local buyers cost the
producers 20 cents per hundred on our
stock and corn, I mean their regular
rates. The two, on stock received at
South Omaha for the past year, have
cost $4,701,379, estimating the average
weight of hogs at 200 and cattle at 1000
and sheep at 100 pounds each. It is also
claimed that we pay for double the
amount of feed that tha stock get, at
the rate of $ I per bushel for corn and
$20 per ton for hay. If we had interest
ed men to look after our interest we
could save that amount to $113,833.
Now let us add the three cents per
pound to the product of those receipts
your correspondent thought was unnec
essary profits, as every one knows that
stock was low enough and meats were
high enough before. Allowing for
shrinkage on dressing on total receipts
for the year, the 8 cents per pouvd
would amount to $18,497,149. Add to
this, $4,880,215 which could be saved by
co-operation before the stock reaches
the packers and we have the sum of
$23,283,361, saved to the producers aud
consumer, as the result of co-operation
on tho amount of live stock shipped to
South Omaha in the year 1891. If this
amount was divided according to pro
duction and consumption equally be
tween consumers and producers would
it pay or would it creato a monopoly.

We demand the election of president,
vice-president and United gut sena
tors and postmasters by direct vote of

Coal being a bounty of Providence,
aBd as necessary to the people as air or
water, we believe the government should
own all coal mines and furnish their
product to the people at cost; and that
all municipalities should open coal yards
and furnish coal to the citizeus as cost;
and we demand the passage of laws to
carry these principles into effect.
We demand that the government in
stitute proceedings to foreclose the lien
of the United States on the U. P. &
Central Pacitto railroads, and operate
.he same for the people.
STATE,
We demand of our next legislature
the passage of an act in tbe following
terms, viz: "An act to prescribe the
mode of payment of obligations of debt
contracted to be paid In money. Be it
enacted, etc. That from and after the
passage of this act all obligations of
debt contracted to be paid In money
shall be payable all stipulations to the
centrary, notwithstanding. in either
the notes, gold or silver coin authorized
by the congress of tbe United States as
a legal tender."
W e demand of tbe next legislature of
this state the passage of a usury law,
the penalty to be the forfeiture of both
principal and Interest, and where the
usury txacted amounts to more than $83
a penal olliense; and that annual inter

assessed against - the cities or towns
where the costs arise; nd we demand
that an amendmeut to the constitution
be submitted to the people iu accord
ance with the above principles. ,
We demand the passage and enforce
ment of efficient laws to end the per
nicious contract system in penal labor,
or as used by tbe governments of towns,
cities and states.
We demand the submission of an
amendment to the constitution pro
viding that the permanento school
fund of the state may be loaned to citi
zen s of Nebraska on first mortgage on
productive farm land, at an interest of
not more than 5 per cent, as is now
so successfully done in Oregon, Iowa,
Missouri Indiana and other states, the
amount so loaned to be apportioned
among the various counties in propor
tion to farm land.
ADDITIONAL RESOLUTIONS.
Resolved, That we believe that option
dealing by boards of trade and individ
uals results in the depreciation of prices,
and is a great injury to the producers of
the country. We therefore ask the
congress to pass a law for the abroga
tion ef that practice.
Resolved, That in the opinion of the
Nebraska State Alliance.there is no need
for more, than one National Farmers'
Alliance in the United States. The del
egates to the National Farmers' Alii
anee are, therefore, instructed to bring
tne subject of a union of the two Na
tional bodies before that body, and to
take such steps at the National meet
ing in relation to the subject as may to
them seem proper.
Resolved, Ttat the practice of rail
roads issuing passes to business men,
public men and officials, er giving trans
portation to editors ior a nominal con
sideration, is subversive of publio wel
fare and demoralizing in a high degree,
and we demand of congress and our
legislature laws to end the practice.
Resolved, That we heartily endorse
the government banking bill introduced
into congress by Hon. 0. M. Kem, and
that we ask all our representatives and
senators in congress to vote and work
for its passage.
Resolved, That we commend the aotion
of those members of our order who
were representatives and senators of the
last session of the Nebraska legislature
who were true to the principles of our
order and who voted and worked for
the measures which we, as a body, had
demanded in former resolutions.

boi gume our loouieps nor Observe
the beau'losof nature; witheut the ear
we could not hear the voices of our
friend nor enjoy the sweet sounds of
music, no one u so helpless as th
blind and more deserving of pity than
tbe deaf. These two senses, being so
valuable should be gnarped as we guard
our life. Many persons lose sight or
bearing by neglect, wnlcn timely aid
might prevent. Among the specialists
who treat these organs none have been
more successful than Dr. Dennis whose
office is over tbe First National Bank in
Lincoln. Mr. C. M. Marshall who has
been in the employ of the big furniture
dealers, Gruetter & Co, was neaf in one
ear from which was a constant offensive
discharge for twenty-five years. The

others well known Lincoln citizens have
been after other specialists had failed.
Dr. Dennis' success is simply due to
his natural sk'JI. experience and his
educational advantages, as he is a grad
