THE FAKMKKS' ALLIANCE, fJNCOLN, NEH., THUHSDAY FEB. 25. 1892.
Some of the World' Fair officials are
drawing a salsry of 115.000 per year
At the same time in that city, where
more work in being done than in any
city in the nation on account of the
enormous preparations Imc the lair, oe-
tween 20,000 aud 30,000 working men
cannot find employment, and every
train that arrives brings new recruits.
This estimate of the unemployed is made
by the Chicago daily Xties. It is stated
as a fact that hundreds of men apply
for almost every place or job which is
advertised. "Between 500 and 800 who
are out of work have no money and no
place to stay and are sleepiag in the
police station every night." What do
these conditions in the world's center
of activity indicate? -
The democracy of Massachusetts has
placed itself on record at a meeting of
the Tariff Reform club, the most repre
sentative and powerful democratic or
ganization in .New England, in favor of
Mr. Cleveland for president. The
meeting was called to protest against
nominating Hill, and such great demo
crats as Col. Charles R. Codman, Gen,
Francis A. Walker, Edward Atkinson.
JohnE. Russell, Massachusetts men,
and Gen. Joe Johnson of New Orleans,
were among the speakers. Gen. Walker
declared he would vote for Harrison,
Reed, or even McKinley before he would
vote for Hill. Gen. Johnston affirmed
most positively that the south was solid
for Cleveland. The old confed. is off
there though. Folk and the Farmers'
Alliance will split the south and carry
off the best part of it.
Dk. Kent of the peoplos' church at;
Washington, D. C, whose only creed is
the Fatherhood of God and the Brother
hood of Man, was recently called on by
two friends of a dead woman, all three
belonging to the outcast class. The liv
ing were anxious to commit the dead
to the earth with a pitying prayer, bat
before coming to him had been unable
to find a minister to serve or a place to
hold the funeral services. After con
sulting with his wifo Dr. Kent offered
to hold the services in his own parlors.
Mrs. Kent also hastily summoned a few
of her lady friends, who met there the
undertaker and two outcast women. The
parable of the prodigal son was read,
the story of the thief on the cross, and
the life of the Saviour feelingly set forth;
and after earnest prayer the funeral
cortege resumed its way through the
storm, the mantle of covering "beautiful
snow," to the cemetery. Before her fall,
a victim to drink and the sins of men,
"no one in the city did more for the
poor than she" in the way of charity
and kindness.
Another Loyal Judge.
Noeth Platte, Neb., Eeb. 15 '02.
Editor Alliance: Having noticed
in your valuable paper a letter from a
correspondent at Beatrice stating that
the newly elected judge of that distsict
had declined to accept a pass tendered
him by the railway company and as said
writer asks the question "is there any
more like him?" I wish to inform him
that J udgo William Neville of the 13th
district is a man of the same metal.
Judge Neville was supplied with a pass
by the U. P. Railway Co., as has been
their custom, but he returned it with a
courteous letter of thanks stating that
he wished to keep himself in position
to do equal justice to all parties in suits
that the Railway Co. might be interested
in and that he could best do so by pay
ing his fare when traveling over their
lines. I may be violating confidence in
offering this matter to the press, as it is
not generally known among the judges
frieuds, but being desirous that such
noble examples may be emulated I am
willing to risk tho Judges displeasure.
And now Mr. Editor if your space
will permit 1 woul-' like to offer some
suggestions on this subject which I be
lieve would remove many of the tempta
tions that are now so powerfully and
skillfully welidcd to debauch our public
officers more especially tho courts and
Legislrture, by this sanio pass busi
ness. Would it not bo better for tho state to
furuish all public officers with railway
transportation when traveling on public
business and repeal all statutes that
provide for the payment of mileage;
let the statutes destroy the commercial
value of tho pass if possible, and then
make it a penal offense for an officer cf
the state, high or low, to accept such a
favor from a Railway Co, while ho is
in the public service.
I make these suggestions merely to
start a discussion in the hope that some
practical remedy may be suggested and
generally accepted by the time the nest
Legislature meets. Platte.
An Alliance Patriot Writes
At a meeting of tta o Loup Clt y A lltanco held
atMHdiHon P'luare February 8, mi, a motion
carried tbat Win. Evans bo requested to fur
nish copy of an essay road by him before said
meeting to Th Fakmers' Alliance with a
requeBt tbattbo same be published. Wo are
pleased to publishd it. Editok Alliami'k.
Mf . President, brothers and sisters of
the Alliance: It is as needful that we
cultivate our minds as our iields, there
fore it is proper that we come together
often in social intercourse to greet each
other and indulge la a friendly inter
change of ideas.
U is written that "man shall not live
by bread alone" therefore it becomes
necessary that we devote a portion of
our time to our social and intellectual
improvement as well as to our physical
being.
Duty as well as pleasure and profit
enjoins upon farmers that they associ
ate more together in order that they
may become more intelligent, more en
lightened. It was the producers of wealth, labor
ing men and women driven from the
old world by the bigotry and latoler
anco, the injustice and oppression of
idlo drones consumers and absorbers
of wealth that first settled this ceuntry
and dedicatod it to freedom and toler
ance, justice and equality, and it be
comes our highest duty to maintain it
as tho "land of the free and home of tho
brave."
If we would perpetuate our free insti
tutions we must take care that our
agricultural Interests are not depressed
or discriminated against.
Agriculture is the first and noblest of
all occupations and all history teaches
that where it has been fost ered by a
people they have prospered and reached
a degree of civilization and perfection;
but where it has been neglected degen
eracy began. Let us heod the warning
and escape the doom.
Let us then cultivate both the love of
our calling, and the love tf our country
as well. To love the country Is to take
an Interest in ill that belongs to it its
occupations, it sports, its culture aud
its improvement to gather the llocks
and herds around tu and feed them with
our own bauds to protect the birds and
make them our friends to inhale the
pure morninz air and brush the dew
from the glittering field, as if our path
was strewed with dissads this is to
lov our land and make it truly our
borne.
We must also Instil into the minds of
our children the same love of country,
remembering that they are to follow
utter us and perpetuate our institutions.
But if we would encourage them to love
rural life we mast make its labor ootn
cheerful and profitable. We may tell
them of the pleasures and independence
cl tbe farmer s life, but it tneir aauy
intercourse with it proves it to be tedi
ous, irksome and laborious without re
numeration or recreation of body or
mind if they see idlers, speculators
and usurers reaping the pronts of the
labors expended upon the farm, they
will soon lose all interest in it and seek
fascinations and rewards elsewhere.
It behooves us then to educate both
ourselves and our sons and daughters,
not only in books, but in that Higher
and broader education which takes in
the relation of ono business to another,
the relation of government to all the
great industrial interests, the true char
acter and functions of money and its
relation to and effects upon labor, in a
word that education which takes in ail
of the human characters and enters into
every just human relation. Nowhere
else cau this be so well don6 as in the
Alliance ana kindred societies. Here
the soundest and most correct business
principles are taught, the highest and
broadest moral sentiments inculcated.
Tbe highest and noblest attributes of
he human character are bere brought
forward, selfishness, meanness and
bitterness rebuked, and the mind ex
panded As a result of the educational features
of the Alliance and other labor organi
zations I look fot the time to come
when from the farms and workshops of
this broad land will go forth the men
and women who will sit In our legisla
tive and executive halls when intelli
gence will become so broad and uni
versal, and justice and equality so
firmly and deeply grounded in our laws
that we shall hear no moro of venal
legislators or corrunt public servants.
Then friends this work of organization
and education is the most important
woric oi our times.
L3t us then with clean hands and
pure hearts consecrate all that is best
and noblest in us to the success of this
work, which is the grandest, most sub
lime and far reaching in its character of
any ever before undertaken.
Let each one of us then lav upon tbe
altars of our noble order whatever we
may have of selfish ambition or mer
cenary motive, and joining let us coven
ant with each other that our best and
highest thought and action shall be
dedicated to the cause of justice and
humanity.
Let us pledge ourselves to labor faith
fully, patiently, earnestly and persist
tnily to purify and build up ourselves,,
our calling, our state and our nation, i
Let our every wish and constant
prayer be:
"May klni Heaven the glad day hasten
When in one fraternal band,
We may number In our order
All who till the smiling land."
Then sir,
"As a mighty host with banners,
Peaceful vlotories we will gala.
Moved by right's resistless purpose.
Held by love's eleetrlo chain.
Serfs and vassals then no longer
Chained to ceaseless labor's oar.
Deaf to Heavon'g highest teaohlng,
Blind to nature's grandest lore;
But with minds that honor freedom,
Strongin strength that shleldB the weak
With the free man's peaceful weapons,
We'll enforee the rights we seek.

Editok Aixiaxce. for twelve years
I have been a close observer of Mr.
Roewatfr'a facts and flgures, as be
terms them, and In no instance nave 1
known him to be correct in all of bis
statements and on an average I do not
think his facts and figures will prove to
be true more than once in every ten
times.
In his last article on the silver ques
tion he gives the price of wheat in Chi
cago for the following years:
IV I! S5 IMS Ti
law si. law as
it6 l.w
Tbe facts are that oc the first day of
January the Chicago price of wheat
for the following years was:
IMS Il.fll IK.8 ti.o
17... l.fti ltw i.a)
IM i.w
Now mark, these prices were given
when wheat was about as low as at any
time in the year except perhaps in No
vember and December and in May and
J une it was much higher than on the
urst day oi January of each year.
Then ho says, in 165 the difference
bo'.ween the price of silver and green
backs was all the way from 12 00 to
$2.40. Now the greatest difference be
tween paper money not full legal ten
der and specie (gold and silver were the
same)inl8G5 was tl liOJ and in the
same month it was down to $0.07 and
it run as low as $0 38 in the course of
the year, and only twice in the year did
it go above $1.00 tiifference after the
fall from $1.30.
Here von see are eight statements of
figures by Mr. Rosewater and not one
of them anywhere near the truth.
, Respectfully.

Editor Alliance: An article In Al
liance of Feb. 4th entitled "a Judicial
Curiosity," and an enquiry " are there
any more of the same sort " Inspires me
to say that there is. D. T. Weltv.
judge otthis the 14th judicial district is
another of that sor:. Mr. Welty real
ized for years that any man taking a
pass was under obligations to a certain
extent to the giver, and that a pass was
given not only as a matter of courtesy
but as an indirect attempt to gain favor,
hence he never asked for or received
one as an attorney, or in any other ca
pacity. At our judicial convention of
this district and after his nomination
was assured Mr Welty voluntarily
pledged himself tnnt he would not ac
cept a pass under nuy eruditions.
Hang up tho roll of honor that all
may see, that others as honorable may
oe enaoieu to nave tneir names entered
thereon. Yours truly,

A Fairtury Fanners Ideas.
Fairbuky Neb., Feb. 13th, 03
Editor Farmers' Alliance: I wish
some one would please tell me why the
farmers cin't hire money direct from
the government as well as railroad men
can. Congress has let railroad monop
olies have it on long timo and when duo
they ask for still longer time, 5 or a
100 years and they Bever pay, or intend
to pay. The government not only lent
them credit but gave them millions of
a I 1 i - - . i
auits oi larni ousiues. Ana now inoy
aren't satisfied, but are trying to rob the
peopie oi one intra oi their produce by
imposing on them unjust freight
rates.
They have however gone a little too
last, lne people are waking up to re
sist their ensroachments and are mov
ing in tbe direction to buy and help them
selves. We can build our own railroads
and run them too.
So much slack is expressed about sil
ver money. They say if we coin a lot
of eilver it wouldn't be worth more than
05 or 75 cents en the dollar, but we don't
believe it. One silver dollar will buy as
much as one gold dollar. They say too
that paper money is not good, that it
will stagnate business. 1 think it will
mako business flush, as it was 25 or 27
years ago Give us greenbacks again
making them full legal tender, and issue
enough for all business needs. We
never had better times than we had af
ter the war when greenbacks wore
plenty, and had it not been for con
traction of the currency the good times
would have continued.
(live us what money we need, loaning
it on good security at 8 to 4 per cent,
and force tho railroads to charge just
reasonable rates, and the hardworking
will bo comfortable and contented.

though Sherman county cannot be com

gave large majorities for the state and

fight right along from the start. We
elected a dentral committee and an ad
visory committee in case any emer
gency came up, these last being older
men, and everything worked like a
charm. We made no compromises
with either the republican or demo
cratic party but "kept in the middle of
the road.-' Our ht is one of princi
ples and when a compromise is made
with the old parties, either by endors
ing their candidates or swapping off at
the election, we compromise principle

A tl rand Alliance Meeting.
Litchfield, Neb., Feb. 13.
Om of the largest and most enthusi
astic open meetings of this Alliance was
hclil here on the above dato, Bro.
Wright, assistant state lecturer spoke
over two hours. Bro. Wright Is creat
ing great enthusiasm. Independentism
is stronger here than ever before. Tbe
plan of taking up collections and selling
reform literature to sustain onr lectur
ers in the field is enthusiastically re
ceived. We are in splendid fighting trim
for next fall. I will send in some names
for The Alliance after our next Alli
ance moeliag. James Slots.

Editor Farmers' Alliance: I hear
remarks made by persons who would be
lad to believe it, that the Alliance is
ying. I don't know ha it is in other
communities, but our Sub-Alliance No.
683 at its last meeting received seven
new members. We are holding meet
ings every week, mostly public, and dis
cussing Questions of interest to the
masses, and we always have a crowded
bouse. 1 think another way to do much
trood is to hand around Alliance and in
dependent papers after we have read
them, as many people will subscribe for
a reform paper alter tney Decome inte
rested. I give all of my papers to our
political opponents, and I think I have
done some good work in that way. The
Farmers' Alliance should be in every
reading room in .Nebraska.
Yours for reform,
W. A. Bates, Jr.

A New Song Book.
We have received a sample copy of
"Songs of Industry," words and music
by Charles S. Howe of Michigan. It is
a choicacoliection of songs for farmers'
alliance jund industrial and labor re
form organizations, temperance meet
ings and the home.. Alliances and others
getting up entertainments will find it
valuable as the music is new and the
words well adapted to tho inspiration
so desirable in songs of this character.
The book can he ordered from this
office orof the author, Charles S. Howe,
South Allen, Mich. Price 25 cents per
copy, or 20 cents a copy by the dozen.
Three Months for Ten Cents.
It has been over a year since tbe close
of our last offer to send the Missouri
World three months (thirteen weeks)
for ten cents. Now wo make he offer
again to give our friends a ftlymce to
go down in thoir jeans and do a little
missionary work and also to got trial
subscribers. .
This offer will remain open until the
capacity of pur press is reached. This
may be in two weeks or it may not be
for six weeks. Tako all you can get
until we give notice of the withdrawal
of the offer. We havo made this offer
three times boforeand each time we had
to " cry nuff." Papers ordered before
St. Louis conference will do most good
as a correct report of tho proceedings of j
that great evert will appear in the
World and will not likely appear in any
old party paper. Sample copy freo.
