Epitob Farmers' Alliance : The

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

, 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

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

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

that his toil is creating wealth? Whv

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.

- The balance of the democratic mem
bers of the House are mad because Mr.

Mr. Spiiuger you should havo told
Wall Street that the democratic party
is opposed to the free coinage of lilver
in a whisper, and then sworn in a loud
voice so all the poople could hear that
the good old party is the only free coin
ago party. ,
.Congressman Harterof Ohio. is out in
a circular letter to the Democratic
editors, then, "That it will be suicidal
for the democratic party to pais a free
