for all time to come, amen and anion:
Whereas, It is known to all men
that there is in the states of Kansas, Ne
braska, North and South Dakota, as
also In nearly every one of the several
states of America, an uprising of that
class of voters commonly called mud
sills, but now designated calamity
howlers by us, the reigning classes; that
they are united so as to endanger our
supremacy as party bosses; that man
educated in political economy are edit'
ing newspapers which are widely rtia
aeinlnatedand read by these people; that
these people hivo able and conscien
tious men stumping the states during
every political campaign; that they hare
a circulating selection of books and
pamphlets on each and every political
question; that their puppyhood days are
over and that their eyes are opeueu, we
realize, and thus our danger and indl
reotly yonrst that we all must realize;
and
WiicitBAj, This uprising has forced
thousands of your willing party tools
out npon tho cold charities of the world,
to work at menial employment, fit only
for these mudsills, the profits of lucra
tive offices held by us in the past being
about exhausted, and In several cases
among your servile petitioners, our
boodle Is entirely gone.
We beseech you to consider most
noble princes and potentates, that work
or the states prison stares us in the face.
Among honest men of our ilk, we prefer
the latter alternative, as we shall there
meet several of our former friends,
gone before. Also wo shall be sup
ported by these hated calamity shriek
ere. We would refer you to the Bee,
Journal and their little 22-calibre re
peaters as to our past services.
Haven't wo licked your hands and
feet lo these many years, cried, swore,
lied, forged certificates of election,
packed and bought legislatures for
your Haven't we obeyed your man
dates in making the returns to order?
(Ask Rosey.) Havon't we packed the
supreme courts, both national and
state, at your dictation? Haven't we
seen to U that newspapers hostile to
your rulo were not distributed, or If so,
as late as possible? Haven't we made
fraudulent lioanclal statements as you
ordered?
Also, did we not send delegates to all
national and state conventions, espe
cially frietidly to the rallroid interests
and Indirectly yours?
Did we aot acquiesce in tho demonet
ising of silver at tho demand of Wall
Street, though we called them copper
heads during tho war? Haven't we ad
vocated the national banking system,
paying them from 4 to 7 per cent inter
est on their bonds, relieving them from
all taxes, b.th national and state.which
amounted to at least IS per cent more,
and af tor that, paying them from 10 to
at) per cent for individual loans, mort
gages, etc? Did wo not swesr by and
to the utmost endeavors labor to re
nominate U. S. Grant for the third term
as your ehoice for president of the
United States, though It was known of
all men that he had boen mixed up in
the whiskey steals, wherebv nearly
KOOO.OOO was stolen from the 'treasury
of the United States, the facts con
cerning which being traced to his pri
vate secretary? And as fast as these
thievos were convicted did we not en
dorse their btiDg pardoned by your
friend U. S. Grant?
Have we ever failed to endorse tho
hign protective tariff, though we know
that choap. clothing woru by these
calamity shriekers was doubly taxed in
proportion It the goods worn by your
petitioners, yourselves and familios?
Did any one of our representatives in
any legislature in this stato ever raise
his voice or pres3nt a bill to control the '
buyers and packers of our beef, cattle
or hogs from combining to rob tho
farmer and stockf-iider in prices paid by
these packers, while the consumers in
our own cities paid the same prices for
stock was one-third higker than now?
Is it not a fact that we, as oflicers in the
last legislature, combined with our
allies of the democratic persuasion to
defeat the treasury bill, thereby permit
ing our dearest friends of the 3 per ceut
per month shark permission to continuo
their practices upon an already impov
erished people. Also, at your dictation,
did we net defeat John A. Towers fro n
beinue present governor (though we
confess he was honestly elected) spend
ing the money furnished us by you to
buy the requisite number of independ
ent senators to accomplish the act, and
to prevent a majority vote from paus
ing an honest freight bill over Boyd's
veto of the same? Have we ever raised
our voice or by look acknowledged but
what the elections in Douglas, Lan
caster, Adams and Cass counties ware
honestly conducted (though we had our
uuuuw aooui ii j tor members of our
conrtf, legislature and state officers?
Therefore wo, your petitioners, aik,
beg upon our knees, kiss your hands and
fwt. that money be furnished by the
republican and democratic national
and state committees, or other rt'.oaas
be devised, evon if the army of the
I'lted States and onr state militia have
in be used to kill off a sufficient number
of these tauJsills or calamity howlers,
from the face of this, our tartk, to restore
us to all the legislative offices within the
nation, ttate and counties. This will
have to be dono. or the poor haute or

Mrs. Kellie's Plan Endorsed.
EaiTOK Alliance I have jnst been
reading your paper and among other
things I road tho suggestion of Mrs. Kel
lie, herSOacie oal plan, and while
roading it was carried back 43 yaars ago.
Then a child oJ 8 years I lived in the
state of New York, lo those times they
had general training, and when that
day came, as small as I was, my heart
was big with patriotism and never did
my father look so grand to me as when
beating the drum aud calling to order;
nor were my mothers pies aud cakes
even as good as they were at genera 1
training.
But wo don't need that general train
ing now, what we need is the principles
that was taught then. And as wo have
advancod higher since then we don't
proposo to be under the rule of any
king. '
I think Mrs. Kellie's idea .is a goad
one. If our boys and girls knew that
after harvest they could have a grand
feast day they would work more willing
ly and if they knew they helped to pay
for literature they would be more apt to
read, and somo would educate tho oldor
ones.
Several years ago tho Omaha Dm crivc
away reapers and mowers and all kinds I
of things t hire people to read the pa
per. But it was always the present the
people cared for Now if the people
think they all have a share in tho litera
ture thay will all read it in order to get
their share.
I a'so read In our paper tha resigna
tion of Mr. Burrows. 1 am sorry. But
I am la hopes to see Mr. Burrows in a
higher position. I have not always boon
in haraionywithMr. B -.rrows, but he is
an old wheelhorse and had his shoulder
loaded heavy sometimes.
As lnng as the reform paper) print
items for women, they any expeet the
women with them, aud they nood not
fail if the women are true to the cause.
Thanking you Mr. Editor for the
privilege I have had in reading women's
ideas iu your paper I will close.
Yours for reform.

The outcome of the "superb condi
tion." as Chaunccy M. Dope calls It,
into which the American people have
been irresistibly crowded, is supremely
doubtful. The avenues of escape
have been cunningly blocked by the
vhnena few" delegation which has
been doing duty over the American
thecpfold for several years back.
The laborer has been blindly entering
a barren posture; he has been too
eagerly lured with fruitless prouiisos
and nice strings or rhetoric and fact
dissembling Sxech. The bars are
now closing behind him. and in the
full realization of his position, at last
he stands aghast at the sterilo end of
his political path. Lo! Ashes for
gold, despair for plenty, and the grim
prospect bow confronting the Ameri
can larmer and wage-earner in place of

Did it ever occur to you business
mon that the farmers do not buv as
much as they did twenty or thirty
years ago? It U uot because the
farmers are any Btinjrlior than they
were or because thoir wants are any
more easily supplied. It is bocauso
thoy can't afford to buy, prices are too
low. Why don't you pay more for
your farm produce? Bocauso you
can t a (lord to; you can't pay nny more
than you can get for it and the mar
kets at tho t.-enlers of consumption
aro down, and you are powerless
to bring them up. Why are tho
markets' low in tho centers of con
sumption? Because so many city
work people aro out of work, or are
driven to the scantiest of incomes;
not because tho work is all complotod
In tho cities and the cities ore finished,
but because tho employers themselves
are stinted, and those who would build
and employ labor are nimble to do so
for lack of money. Can't you business
mon see and understand this? The
same thing that hurts tho farmer,
hurts you. and whatover benefits tho

The pages of our so-called great
magazines are very exclusive and re
served open only to the best writer
and as a rulo patronized or read by
great minds and advanced thinkers.
A person would think from the ex
alted character of these monthlies or
quarterlies that their contributors
would treat the questions under dis
cussion from the highest standpoint
of intelligence, characterize the same
with logical reasoning and fairness,
and above all avoid partisan bias and
prejudice but we are so.ry to say
that many of the writers in our popu
lar magazines are subject to tho same
frailties that trouble many writers of
lessor pretensions saying nothing of
ignorance that is grossly densa in
some instances.
It is not only amusing but disgust
ing to follow the lines of somo of
these essayists, says the Alliance Trib
une, who tackle questions they are no
moro qualified to discuss than a ten-
year-old boy. Monetary scienco has
become a favorite theme and is being
discussed (lod saso tho mark! by old
money-bags, who imagine that because
they have the capacity (we were on
tho point of saying, to rauke money)
to rob labor, under class-made laws,
and hourd wealth they never earned,
that they know all about money and
monetary science.
Andrew Carnegie's "A Ii C of Mon
ey, " that appeared in the North Amer
ican Review lust summer, is a case in
point U old Carnegie had boen a
poor man instead of a money-baa his
contribution would have been marked
'Rejected" and pigeon-holed awaitinar

When we obtained a copy of the Re
view with Carnepie'B Mearnod dis

in storo, but soon found we were a
victim ot misplaced confidence. Wo
soon learned that Carnegie had not
even learned tho A B C of money, but
wo wero ablo to dig out of his rubbish
and rot the f;i -t that he is a mono-
motalist a gold buff tho governing
idea in attempting the discussion of a
quostion of which he proved nothing
so much as bis profound ignorance.

to brush aside tho vagarios of -flat,

cites the financial disaster in the Ar-
gentino Republio as one of tho con
spicuous failures to float fiat" .money.
It also cites our old wild-cat" or

finance, all of which. proves nothing
so much as tho fact that we must come
to the greenback theory a full legal
tender currency based on tho wealth
of tho nation, as tho only true mono
tury science.
In the years to coino when the bar
baric theories of the past have been
brushed aside, and tho great Ameri
can people have solved tho greatest
problem in tho world's history a
correct monetary science, founded on
common sense and reason, and in har

look with amazement upon the stuff
