J THE ALLIANCE-IN DEPENDENT. ( "1 1 1 t The World's fair is now receiving an income of nearly $1,000 a day from the admission fees at twenty-fivo cents each. According to the Journal the dem ocrats at Chicago adopted a financial policy which would givo us wild cat money and yellow dog dollars all in .ono. It is a queer cross surely. While the good peoplo of this coun try are crying for a ono term system of the presidency, the republic of Mexico lias just passed through a quiet election which giveg President - Diaz a sixth term without opposition. Queer world. The locked out workers in Carnegie's mills havo disappointed their enemies, and increased the number of their friends by their cordial rocoption of the militia. While they were ready to die lather than permit tho Pinkcrton thugs to take possession of tho mills, they welcome tho lawful guardians of the state with music and cheers. The republican press of the country is having a little variety thrown into its editorial writings on tho seventy cent dollar by tho introduction of the yellow dog dollar. This butter colored canine species of money seems to have been brought into tho world by the democratic convention at Chicago. ,It is not a pretty beast to talk about but it breaks tho monotony of the seventy cent republican palaver and in so doing is fulfilling a noble mission. Some of tho colored men in Lincoln look with favor upon the independent cause. To spiko any any such feelings and to show tho negro population . of Lincoln and Nebraska that the g. o. p. is still run solely for its benefit until after the campaign anyway it is said liuit the republican managers will see t ) it that tho state board of transporta tion makes a liberal reduction in the freight rato oa water melons. In their national convention the pro hibitions pac-sed plenty of high-sound-injr reform resolutions. But when the free coinage resolution came up, they took theii stand on the side of the mon ey power by voting it down. And the real nason for this step was tho same that actuated the old parties in their conventions, i. e., tho moneyed men of the east would not contribute to their campaign fund if they declared for, free coinage. A little more high tariff, a little moro protection to foreign owners of American onterprisos, a few more re ductions of wages and the next lockout will be that of Benjamin Harrison. Jle will find himself locked out of the white house uext March and his wages reduced some $50,000 a year. The laboring men will bring this about -as an act of reciprocity, ana it will bo a very pretty illustration. , f . Rkpublicaks are engaged just now raking the rural districts with a'-jino tooth comb in rearch of a farmer to run on tho republican ticket for5 gov ernor. It means much. It means that the farmer and laborer have been ignor ed about as long as tho party can aiford it. It means that without a change of tactics they can read tho handwriting on the wall. It means that the inde pendent party has forced a recogui tioa of tho rights of labor. It means that a "ysller dog" can no longer be elected to an office of trust in Nebraska. . THE WEST AND SOUTH. The Congressional llecord on Febru ary 15, '.1878, (page 1,054) reports the discussion of the Itosumption Act and credits Senator Ingalls with saying: Tho senator from Wisconsin was right. It is not tho east against the west. It is the east against tho west and south combined. It is tho corn and wheat and beef and cotton of tho country against its bonds and its gold; its productive industries against its accumulations. Then the senator goes on to show the inevitable union of tho west and tho south because of their common inter ests. He shows how sectional preju dice had been encouraged by tho money powers, solely with a purpose of pre venting tho natural union of theso two sections of tho country. He speaks in unmistakable terms of the legislation that had imposed intolerable burdens upon tho energies of tho west and south, hal made invidious discrimina tions against their products and, by un just tariffs, had repressed their indus tries. Speaking of the opening of commerce through improvement of the Mississip pi, Mr. Ingalls said: "The opening of this ara marks the epoch of tlic emancipation of the west and south from their bondage to the apital of tho east, and in asking the passage of this bill they are asking less than they will over ask again. "When I reflect upon the burdens they havo borno, the wrongs they have suffered, I am astonished at their mod eration." As tho years go by r.ad the old issues of the war become older and older, is it any wonder that tho west aud tho south should begin to realize this com mon bond of common interest and be gin to lay their plans for union? Is it any wonder that the "burdens they have borne and the wrong they havo suffered" should create between them a bond of sympathy which the wily, wealthy capitalists of tho east would be powerless to break'? How long, oh toiling men of west and south, will you bow down and do hom age to the gold-crowned lords of Amer ica? How long will you work and slave, with your families suffering for the couiforis and even the necessities of life, while these lordly men roll and revel in wealth, created by your labor? All honor to the man who lives by toil, who wins his way by work; but why the workingman shou'd suffer in silence the impositions of wealth and take no steps to right his wrongs, is hard to understand. May we not belieye that the west and south have, in this glad year of 1892, reach a point where union will be com plete? With standard bearers who represent tho bravery of the northwest and tho bravery of the southeast, the great common people of this great com mon country will turn their backs upon the prejudices of the past and march together to a victory as important to one section as to tho other, bringing in its train to each, tho material and financial prosperity which union of offert alone can win. Where is the man who said chattel mortgages had gono out of date in Nebraska? Let the twenty two mil lion dollars of chattel mortgago debts filed in Nebraska last year, bj a suffi cient answer. Tho record is simply appalling. Again has tho U. S. senate shown itself to be moro nearly in sympathy with tho peoplo than the houso. The Stewart bill passed tho senate a few days ago by a vote of 39 to 25. Now it has failed in tho house on a test voto by 154 against, to 13G for.. Another Special Offer.
