Epitob Farmers' Alliance : The money power and the subsidized pres te trying to make the people believe bat times never were better in this country, and ss proof they cite yon to the fact that "the dollar will buy more now than it ever would before." That is ast what is the matter with the conn try to-day. The dollar buys too much. It buys too much of the farmers' corn, wheat, and oats. It buys too many pound of his bom and cattle. It buys oo many pounds of the dairy maid's butter and cheese. It buys too many yards of the merchant's calico, too many pounds of his sugar and otbor classes of his goods, and this Is the secret of so manv commercial failures. It buys too atauy hours of the laboring rain and mechanics time. lu fact it buys too much of everything that is to sell on the market, and at the taute time buys no moreax receipts, interest coupons, and debts than it did when it bought less of labor and its products. .If all thi debts of the nation, the In terest, taxes, and salaried officers bad been reduced in just proportion to labor and its products then ail would have been well. But that was not the case. The producing class In this country should not be so much interested in the price of the dollar as they are in tho price of what they are producing. There' Is ' one class of men who own nothing but debts and dollars and they have been scheming, shrewd and dis honest euough to io Into the halls of oar congress and with the use of their money oribed our' representatives to , pass suon taws as aemoneusing stiver, - resuming specie payments, refunding the pnbllp debt and in other ways con tracting the 'currency, all of which was 'done- in order to make the dollar buy "more now than ever bciore. Every article on the market to the proauot oi some man's or woman's labor Ann if It talma a Inrnm a mAiint f It In get a dollar, that la the proof that they are working too cheap, and thut the high priced dollar benefits nobody nut the man who holds dobts and dol lars. The nation, the state, the county and the individuals are in debt, and got In when the products of the country would bring twice as many dollars as it would now. Or, In other words when dollars were cheap and easy to get. Then debts which now amount to thirty billion of dollars, and the Interest on them, must ba paid with dollars ob tianed with labor or its product, and those who owe the debts, and they are nine out of ten of tho people should legislate so as to increase the purchas- I ing power of what they have to sell rather than the purchasing power of the dollar. This can be done by reversing the. process that gave the dollar its present purchasing power. Namely, by Increasing, the amount of money in cir culation to what It was before the dead ly work of contraction began in I860. The Independent Party .proposes to do this very thing if the people will help them into power by voting the ticket. .Seward, Neb. J. B. Romihb For Tbs Fakmihs' Almakci. ' r, ' , ris it a Crisis. " ' ' " Many foolish things are said about a of importance, is not a .crisis. We . would not use the word in this careless manner. Any student of history can look back , and. tell with a good degree of correctness when a crisis came to this or that country. It is easy to see a crisis in England when the "invincible Armada" was sailing for the channel, and Queen Flizabelh. and all England were, on their knees. . It is easy to see a crisis when the French people moved on, the Bastile. But it is not sq easy to see. wi;h equal certainty when we look forward for a. crisis. The writer was in and through the crisis in this country in '60-'61. He felt through all the months from Nov. '60 to April 6l that it was a crisis,, and sure enough it was. Ever siuco his return to his family in 1805, after nearly three years following the flag in Dixie, he has watched the progress of the money power and the railroad power. All the way he has re gretted the stupidity of the people gen erally, ' and the increasing power cf money and corporations. But all the way he also hoped. Steadily have I looked to see suffering bo a final arvak erring power.' It has oome, and I thank God for the awakeniDg. But now I be j?io to feel very deeply that another trials Is upon Us. It if the first lime since 1801 thtf I have felt so. And this is, -why I feel as I do: It is now aboat certain that there will be three national tickets in tie field in November. There may be four, but the republican, demo cratic, and peoples' parties will absorb about all minds. Anything else will be m; sml in pro?rtwa to. these, Thj result of this election wilt bear on our national destiny as nothing else has done since I860. The two old parties will be in the field with their usual machinery, corruption, cunning, and all the rest. Any mistakes they make will be condoned by their bigoted partisans, and will not hurt them more than tho usual amount. Not so with the people's party. That movement will feel the need of experienced men very badly. Many committees will be made up of men who have had little or no ex perience in campaigning. There is danper that these will send out men to speak who are poorly qualified for the work. Some may undertake to make speeches who are not qualided at all. Such speakers will blunder, some of them badly. The other parties will take every advantage of this. Better have no speakers than these. Bettor scatter printed matter like autumn leaves than send incompetent men be fore the public. Then there is a dangor of nominating men for office who have ny ability beyond their integrity. The integrity .Is of first importance, but it is well to be sure of that every time. But iff every case where men of ability and . integrity combined in the same person can be had, let them "be put to the front every time. Your man who is. he nest, and nothing more, is placed at a terri ble disadvantage when he meets one of tbe skilled men la the ld parties. Let the Alliance sod every rWorm ppr In the nation pre. thi poiut, K'i-at it oftea, emphasise it, and secure it if pos sibla. We shall fee richer in talent, much richer, than we were two years ago. But we shall need all of it hod then not have enough. , So let every re former begin now to look up the best and ablert men for the front, Personal preference aad friendship ought not to influence one reformer in the Unifd States. Our cause is greater thai, any man's friend. Look out for the cause every move yon make. Again, the Importance oi a luu vow. Not to be on hand and vote at such a time is next door to treason. Think of it, everybody. If we carry a go-nily number of states and elect a Urge share of the house of representatives, see what courage, what hope, what perse verance it will infuse into every reform ers heart. We may fall to elect a pres ident, but oil is worth everything to make both the old part be fail to elect also. True, the present house will elect a democrat, but what good can they get out of that if we kill them and the re publicans too? .They will net dare veto our bills very badly in the face of such an overthrow. But a weak vote, a weak campalga, wan; of unity among ourselves, person al ambition that Sinks the cause for self, will work destruction, at least great discouragement- Many wilt give up hope under such circumstances, and a peaceful solution of the great qncstinns before us may never be reached. Not that these lsues will down. They will not Just as well expert to stop the tides in the ocean. But a wise course now, and a grand triumph in the cam paign makes peace. Little danger of blood if we get votes eooagh. Votes are worth vastly more than gold this time, and the want of voles may mean blood further on. 1 I am not pessamistio. I am hopeful, positively hopeful, but I see or think I see the possibility of danger. The anxiety, the suspense, the reaching for safety which I felt thirty two years ago comes over me in my old age. Oh. that I may live to see my country ont of danger. J. M. Sntdkh, Verdurette, Neb.. Mar, 4, 1. Bed Willow County Alive. Indiamola. Neb . Mar. 7. D3 Editor Alliance: W: F. Wright, assistant state lecturer of the Farmers' Alliance, finished a tour of Red Willow county last Saturday. Ho' was accom panied by D. K. Carpenter, late editor of the .il'.hmce Herald of this place. Seven meetings were held, all of which, except one, were well attended. The light attendance of the one was due to a misunderstanding of tho hour. A very notlcable feature peculiar to the campaign of 1802 is that those who have been inclined to be skeptical as to the final outcome of the St. Louis conference see, in the people's move, a determination on the part of the labor ing class to have laws enacted that will guarantee to them the rights vouch safed by the Declaration of ludepond ence and the constitution of the United 8tatos. Mr. Wright's plan of campaigning is to educate the people , along economic lines, teaching the relation and duty of the government to the Industrial class, yet he allows no opportunity to tass without showing up the perfidy of the old parties and the stupidity of those who are wilfully blind to tho necessi ties of political reform. A large percent of the people of this county look upon our cause with a good deal more anxiety than they did a week ago. One vory hopeful sign, and one deserving note Is, that at Lebanon, when half the audionce was of the demo-rep persuasion, .perfect ordor and marked attention prevailed throughout a shower of "shot and shell;" and the Lebanon band which is almost whollv republican turned out en masse and gratuitously furnished the meetinir a choice selection of music. Lebanon is all right and great hoposare entertained rormnoury. v. U. . i - : . I . f : Tha Campaign Opened in Stray County. i AriLLioK, March, o, 1893.

Tho Geueral in his inimita ble way defended the interest advocated by the "calamity howlers." The meet ing was well attended by the solid yeo manry of this county. If we were to Judge by their earnest faces and their demonstrations of ap proval the mooting will bear fruit and of a kind that could not be secured in a hot political campaign. Let us make hay while tho sun shines and Improve the fast flying months to Sroplalm" tho results of that groat lu ustrial conference at St. Louis to tho hungry multitude who can now more calmly consider their Interests in tho. three imporlaut objects through whidh we demand relief, ' Let no seeming confidence again betray us from im proving each shining hour.

And I would say to our brothers throughout the counties where Bro. Wright will lecture, if you have any "honest dollar" fellows that you cannot handle, invite him or them to be present at ono of his meet ings, and he will take tho job off yonr hands. Would say for the interest of independents and Ailianco of Phelps county, we are In better shape to-day than we bavo ever been in since we or ganized. - The voters of this county will help to sweep this stato by a big majority for he independent party this coming November. - r - e ...., , Phelps Co., March 5, i up toaay at spnogneia, sarpy county, by J.

World lately pWlbb4 prescriptions from sever al noted worms for the c:re , of the pjverty eiekoetw which afflicts our nation. It is very evident however that the wonld-btf-considered social physicians who wrote out their prescriptions con fidently, bad podiplomafroaiany school of reformers. Some cf !ben inled oasa as reform ers inasmuch ai they wish to abolish the vice of druukennens but, like other quacks with only one remedy they insist on applying it to every disease regard less of its cauea. , , - - Not long ago a well known Dr of our state treated a man for faver wbu bad got his arm broken in a drunken spree- The man had a high lever without doubt, but aconite, tnu usual fever remedy, ' failed 'to allay it until another physician was calietl who looked for the eause. found ilie arm bro en and set it. So wita ear social disease of poverty, caused by the broken laws of God. Those laws must be restored to their ol 1 time force and usefulness before the pa tient will be well, and any re Bed y pre scribed without considering the cause of disease is worthy only of a e.onneited quack. mow kit us see some of the remedies prescribed. Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth pre scribes urgent rcaulatlon to prevent overcrowding in tenement!, improve menu in sanitary conditions, closing of saloons, .etc., much ai the above men tioned doctor prescribed aconite and cooling lotions to the patient, but not a word of inquiry as to the causo of the fever. ' Mrs. Belva A Lockwood says, first "Be content with your lot. Wealth and poverty are relativo terms. The poor farmer or miner who has enough to eat and wear, a wile, children and the com forts and love of a home is rich" and then prescribes lightening the burdeu of taxation on the poor, government assistance in case of disaster, increase of the circulating medium, compuUorv education, compulsory labor, wuh hy- gieua ami riuicu training, lonerpa lientshe would say. the first and greatest thing is to be content. Fever aud chills are only relative terms. Your body is not in a furnace ana will not be con suuied to ashes; be content, a fire is noth ing it you only think so. lighten the bed Clothes a little, have some one wait on you a little now you are bedfast, and men stuuy autgeniiy now to prevent your heart from beating so fast in the future. Is" poverty caused by discontent, if not how can contentment abolish it? Why (even if it were the cause) should a poor man oe content to bo poor, knowing that his toil is creating wealth? Whv should ho not desire to Own tho wealth? Is it a crime to desire the refinements and the mxuries of advanced civiliza tion? Must we be content simplv to eat and to sleep that we may be able to toil? Should we raise children with no higher ambition than to become beasts of burden? . , : .. i Must no yearning for books, music. poetiy, or art of any kind find a place in the worker's brains? Should he be con tent simply to exist and by bard labor make the luxuries of life possible for a favored idle few? Content is tbe moth er of no good deed, thought, or action. r.very retorm tnat ever has luted hu manity to higher place was born of discontent. Mrs Henry Ward Beecher prescribes practical economy. But we cannot be surprised at her, she is only following in the footsteps of her husband who advo cated that bread and water three timoi a day ws suflic'ient fpr any laboring man. tie carea not m ms jaqor pro duced fruits, meats and all' the luxuries of a banouet. he should be content to be robbed of all hut the bread and water. and the lot in life to which he was called But he never told the rich to be content as long as the working class could mo? dues luxuries, nor economical, for you see they ought (o consume all the luxu ries possible and keep the workers busy, lor satan nnds some mischief still for idle hands todoyon know. Bah! Idleness and extravagance are seldom found in connection with poverty, and nearly al ways are round with wealth. That would be a better prescription to abolish wealth than poverty. ' , wraee ureenwooaieem, tnat only tne Divine originators of the Universe can abolish human want and miscrv. She would say to her pationt,"Only bo who made you can make your bio -d to How quickly or slowly," and loaves him to got wen or aie as no could, forgetting that human hands and hearts have to do tho work of the world, aud even if it were impossible for then! to abolish poverty one need not go on countenancing laws and conditions to Create more. ! Miss Willard would Introduce eco nomic reform-. 1. Tariff for revenue only, with incidental protection (what ever that may be). 3. The introduction of bi metalism. . 8. The nationalization of all moans of communication and transit 4. The introduction of physi cal and industrial training. 5. The for mation of national and international boards of arbitration, the enfranchise meat of womon, equal pay for equal work, an equal standard of morality for coin sext-s; ana too prohibition of tuo liquor traflie and; opium trade. Now tnose are gooa prescriptions ns far as thny go aud I would reallv think she knew what ailod her patient had she not started out with the assertion that j "No person of good health and habits ! need drags himself along under ' tho yoke of poverty iu this republic. This j is an unpardonable insult to the millions oi hard-working men and women of our country who are. almost 1 a tnau under the ycko of poverty;' in fact you vory ' seldom see a hard-working, wealth-pro-duciug man or woman who is not poor, comparatively speaking. The most of thorn having good health, they must then have bad habits. That is where tho cold-blooded prohibitionist cooaos in. They refuse to believe thero is any poverty their cure-all of prohibition wlil not cure. They are oblivious of the fact that the most ot the liquor con sumed is drank by men who pay for it with the sweat of other men's brows. What causes poverty? Robbery of man by his fellow man. Unjust laws compelling one man to give another a portion of tho products of iiis toil for an opportunity to labor. Abolish tho-c laws and let the broken law of God be restored, which "says "Tho land shall not be sold forever;" it was not created for a few only. Occupancy and nse is the only God- Slven title. "Leave off this usury." loney should be a servant, not a master of man. Then "let him that stole steal no more, but rather let him labor." "He that will not labor let hfm not eat," and the patient will bo in a fair way to health. Carlyle nndorstood the cause of pov erty for ho says, ""Before these five and twenty laboring millions, for instance, could get that haggardness of face, in a nation calling itself Christian, and calling man the brother of man, what unspeakable, nign in unite aisnonesiy in all manner of rulers and ' appointed watchers, spiritual and temporal, must there not, thronga long agos, have gone oa aocutumuiaung; '' Mrs. J T. Kkllie. LINCOLN, NER, lllUKSDAY, 3IAH. 17. 1892. EDUCATION feap.a In (itaertl ami la Great rear - mi laf4llK. The old adage, "to make haste slowly, can be applied to tbe antici pated result of economic teachings with more propriety, perhaps, than to any other one subject. Because the human race, to a large degree, par take of the same pronenuss as the balance of tbe iinimal kingdom to follow in a similar course as did their immediate ancestors. Considering the mental powers of man and intelligent calculation granted to the human family over that of the brute creation, the obstinate refusal oa their part to accept innova tions and hasten to change methods, and thereby better conditions, seems to justify the belief that after all the animal controls the intellectual. Tho seeming satisfaction with present conditions, and tbe obstinacy with which beneficial changes are contested,' point out clearly tho fact tbat each and every step taken outside the regu lar bei.len puth must be the result of laborious education. It is also true that impatience and its usual sequence, an attempt to accelerate tbe speed at which this education is being received., and thereby hasten tbe day of ultimate results, are in nearly,, if not quite every instance the premonitions cf complete failure. It U evident alike from past experience as from present conditions that tbo people, as a tula, have elected and still continue to pre fer 'to bear these ills we have than fly to others that we know not of." It is to this fear or Innovations tbat all tho opponents of reform appeal in their effort to keep tho people within old party lines, and it is because of this fear, to a large extent that the people cling to old methods and measures. Without precedents to bring forward to estab lish the fact (and there are none with first changes). tho only recourse is through reason aud intelligent judg ment. Tbe mere matter of assertion unsupported by example or intellectual analysis should never be expected to bring about a change from old-established theories or systems. The natural animal fear which either halts or flees from anything' that is out of the regular usual surroundings is just as strong in tho human as in the ani mal, ' and Btnnds as a bar, until re moved, to all further progress. As sociation will, to some extent, remove this ototruct'on. but in the case of man it was doubtless tbe intent of the Creator to have this work accomplish ed through the mental faculties. Hence it happens that all methods which smack of coercion, reasons the National Economist; beget at onco an antagonism born of unimal Instincts, which Interferes with, if it does not entirely prevent, the action of reason and argument On the mind. . In such Cases a double work is made neces sary,' which prolongs . the effort and brings discouragement and often failure. , . There are also other and important obstructions which to a more or less degree conspire to make education upon eoonomio subjects slow and tedious, Panisanlsm, as a rule, stands at the hend. and with a majority of people is so intensified as to preclude even an examination of any proposition that is not strictly within party lines. Again, the young man will usually take the word of his father upon these matters in preference to the most con clusive arguments and authentic propositions presented by tho re former. It is also a lamentable fact that tho father in too many coses ob tains his economic code from the politician. Such conditions form a net-work of obstructions which' are difficult to remove even with tho most cai-e and earnest effort., But amid this tangled mass of ignoraneo, super stition, and party slavery, there lies a spark which, at some word or idea advanoed by the- educator, may be kindled into n flamo that in good time perhaps when discouragement is the mo9topprcsslve"aftd an abandonment of -the task is contemplated will burst forth in a blaze that will light up tho dark gloom and consumo in its fierce heat the strong walls of opposi tion and molt down the barriers of partisan ism and bigotry. It is never safe to judge only by appearance, as it is too often deceiving. Sood does not always fall upon stony ground, but ninny times unexpectedly Grids fertile Soif nnd ' thrives whoro and when least expected. ' The fruits of education nre not. always app irent, neither , is wise, conservative efforts in that direction very ofton barren of good results. It is safe to be earnest, conscientious,' and diligent in all matters of education, and as a rule, such labor will not be In vain. Land Ownership.

The Houe was democratic. Most of the democratic members were elected on greenback state platforms. In short the party bad for ten vears prior to that time pretended to be tbo currency reform party, claiming that no other reform party was needed, that when the democratic party got into power it would give tbe people free coinage, an increased circulation of legal tender greenbacks, and repeal the national oank act.
