Marion (Ind.) Independent.
Nebraska University Independents
The last meeting of the University
Independents for the present schooi
Tear, was held a t the University on
Tuesday evening June 7 1892. Although
on accoant of increased work caused
by final examination the attendance
was not up to standard, the customary
enthusiasm was not wanting. Hon. S.
Edwin Thornton of the Alliance-In
dependent delivered to the club an
able address on the subject, "The
Philosophy of the Independent Move
ment." The frequent out-burst of en
thusiasm that interrupted the speaker
and the rounds of applause that greeted
him at the close, told plainer than words
of the hearty appreciation of his ad
dress, and of the esteem in which ho is
held among University Independents
Mr. Harry Holden, an iLlluential mem
ber of the club, then addressed the club
upon, "The Financial Condition of the
Country," setting forth logically the
condition that necessitated our present
financial situation. Mr. Holden was
also loundly applauded, and the club
recognizes in him a logical, forcible
speaker.
Invitations were extended to the
members to use freely the columns of
the leading independent newspapers of
the city. After having briefly outlined
the work for the summer campaign, the
club adjourned to meet again mext Sep
tember. In Fillmore County.
The Fillmore Countv Alliance will
meet in Ward's Opera House on Satur
day June 17in at 10 o'clock. : A full rep
resentation from all the Sub-ordinate
Alliances is requested.

The independents held a good meet
ing at Emerald last night. W. F.
Wright was the speaker of the evening
and he gave the people straight talk
which was received with much enthu
siasm. Powers in Sheridan County-
Rushvilxe. Neb, June 3, 92.
Hon. John H. Powers, president State
Farmers' Alliance, spoks at Hay springs
May 30th, to an immense crowd. The
weather was rainy but the crowd came
untill the hall was packed and hundreds
could not get in. 'Che brass band of Hay
Springs rendered the music
He spoke at Kushville May 3lst to an
overflowing crowd, as all the business
houses in town closed thier doors during
the speaking. The Rushville band fur
nished excellent music
Mr. Powers spoke at Gordon June 1st
to a large enthusiastic crowd- Music
was furnished by the Gordon band.
The speaking was opened at all three
places with prayer and closed with a
benediction by the clergymen of the
town and the people were well pleased
generally so you see we are in it and
mean to stay in to a finish.
Respectfully Yours

The Farmers and the Yanderbilts
The following editorial copied from
Cnicago Woekly Inter-Ocean, of Mty
3rd, 1692, fully endoiscs the principles
advocated by the peoples' party. I
consider the article of great value to our
cause ass ask it to be given wide cir
culation through the independent pre
The following is a true copy of said
editorial:
"Samuel J. Allerton, one of the well
known citizens of Chicago, writes a
very interesting letter to the Country
Gentleman of March 3i, in which he
comments on the cry that farming does
not pay, and among other things he
sajs: "A farmer on ICO acres of land
can not cxct to live as extravagantly
as the Yanderbilts." All this may be
true, but it does not answer the allega
tion that the Yanderbilts and other
nabobs mi?.it not be living quite as ex
travagnitly as they do if the farmers
had bad their just dues. The Vunder
bilts and others I ave organized law,
politico, and all other forces of society,
ven the votes of the farmers, in such a
ay that the producer of food gets too
tiuall a return for his share in the tran
saction between thtm. In addition to
this they sa die upon him three fourths
of the expense of supporting the Ameri
can government, town, county, State
and national. They are smart enough
to keep the farmers divided into par
ties and factions. All this has been go
ing on for fifty years and will continue
to go on until the American farmer be
comes intelligent t nough to (1) run his
business to a prolit, just as they do; (2)
t) organize legislatures politics and
law, in behalf of central principles of
justice, and thereby secure his rights as
a citizen, not as a farmer (3) to know

men and theu stand hy them, farmers
will doubt their best friends under the

never fooled in that way. They know

not far away, who ran for oflice upon
a "labor tictet'' and got elected. He
soon le ed many tricks, got rich and
pretty n would get m:id if it was

saw things in a little different light
to his mightness. When a fellow gets
rich he quits being a carpenter don't
blame him for this and when an
alliance man goes to congress ho

but when iuch fellows forget their

good old circuit rider.'
I did once a good old Methodist
and the old fellow told me a great
deal about what a good puller" his
horse was. Pointing to a steep blutf
down by the spring, he sail that upon
the very day before he bad piled a
cord of green wood upon his little
wagon and hauled it up the bluff with
this horse of his. He knew that it
was a big load for one horse to pull
up such a hill, and I thought so too.
but I was very innocent then I'm
not now. The oi circuit rider did so
like to taHc of his horse's "pulling'
qualities. He went on to tell me
how the horse's feet would slip
from under him in the struggle.
and how he hold every inch
of ground gained. The horse would
actually grab the treei with his teeth
as he would go down upon his knees
nod hold on like grim dca'.h till be
could recover his foothold. A 'pull
ing ' horse was what I wanted, and I
soon swapped, giving boot. That
horse wouldn't hardly pull an
empty wagon down a hill after I
got him. Ho would baulk anywhere.
and never failed to take the studs
at every fork of the road and if he
would go at all. it was sure to ba tho
way I d;u not wish him to go.
You had to let that horso have his
own way or he would tear thunder

low's word ia a horse swap from that
day to tiiis. I hitch them up and try
them. Try them up hill and down

Xhe political situation in Georgia
to day points to a great repairing soon
to be made in the old parties or the
building of a new one entirely.
'Ihe old "bosses are going to ob
ject to any remodeling of the old or
building of the new. They will want
to run the rrwi-.hioe just as they have
beeu running it. They will raise a
great howl about negro domination.
This will be their strongest oord, and
if it wore true that a iihird Party
would necessarily brio-,' us under
negro rule. 1 would be against it; but
don't beliove all they tell you horse
tnpers nor politicians, and why
the negro split too?
they are smart they will for
know that the Republican party
has been made odious at the South
beo.iu.-:e cf the'r solidity, and thoy
know that they have guined nothing
by blindly following the Republican
leaue s. A split all around is what is
needed. The people everywhere and
no section nor race prejudice stirred
will give better government and a
fairer ballot.
I am not going into politics now. I
am too aid for that, but I am glad to
see that the people are awakening and
I do hope that t!io negroes will have
enough sense to divide up ns will the
whites and thus destroy the deadliest
weapon that the old -bosses'' aro to
use in tho campaign.

Eon. W. A. Peffer, who wu elected to th
United States Senata from Kansas to sucoeei
Senator Ingalla. Ths title is Tu Fabvib'
Eidb, and this indicates ths purpose of thi work
In the earlier chapters, Senator Fefier df
scribes ths condition of ths fanner In variov
parts of the country, and compares it with th
ooncfitisB of men in other callings. Ba careful!
examines ths cost of labor, of living, ths pries
of crops, taxes, mortgages, and rates of inures
Us gives elaberaU tables shewing ths increar
of wealth in railroads, manufactures, banking
and other forms of business, and lis compart
this with ths earnings of ths farmer, and ill
wage-workers in general, In clear, fordo)
style, with abundant citations of facts and i
urea, ths author tells how ths farmer reach
his present unaatufactory condition. Then fol

which is the fullest and most authoritative pres
entation of ths aims and views of the Fanners'
Alliance that has been published, including full
discussions of th currency, the questions of
interest and mortgages, railroads, tbe sals 01
crops, and other matters of vital consequence.
This book is ths only on which attempts to
