7i i t r THE ALLIANCE-INDEPENDENT. J ! THE PEOPLE WILL BE FREE. Prophetic Word of the I.vite L. I folk In the Progressive I'urmcr. ' Tho "machine" politicians and papers of tho south seem terribly con cerned In rerard to the fact that tho Toople's party will run an electoral ticket in each of tho southern states. Some of them profess to expreis sur prise at it. I5o cool gentlemen. You have no ono to blame or to thank for it but .yourselves. You knew lhat tho . honest millions of suITei-in;? wealth producers could not and would not support the policy of the Republi can party. You know that the great tidal wavo which swept over the country in 1890, and placed the house of representatives in the hands of the Democratic party, waj an earnest protest against that class of legisla tion which has brought bankruptcy and ruin to millions of homes. You knew that this unprecedented triumph of your party wai largely due to your promises a-nd pledges made to the people1 for the past quarter of a cen tury. How have these promises and nledces been kept? The very first act of Mr. Cleveland, and before he was inaugurated, was to repudiate your oft repeated pledge in favor of free Bilker. Instead of denouncing the fraud through which silver was demonetized, and in which both Re publicans and Democrats were alike guilty, ho defended it You knew that tho Democratic party had pledged itself in its national platform repcatodly in favor of free coinage that tho party had done the same in twenty-nine states. When the hour and the opportunity arrived for these pledges to be redeemed, what do the people eee? They se6 148 majority of these same men and of this same party in possession of one branch of congress, and when tho fair, square test came on these pledges and prom ises, these people were outrageously betrayed, if. with 118 Democratic majority, aided by eleven Republi cans and nine of the People's party, they were unable to redeem their sol emn pledge, how and when could tho people hope to get it? Who was to blamo for this treachery? Eighty- two Democrats, who crouched at tho nod of Wall street. Now what do we see? Southern Democrats still clinging to the foot of the Wall street king still working for the. greatest living exponent of this corrupt and tyrannical power Grover Cleveland. They see Wall street packing democratic conventions for Cleveland in hopeless republican states, that he may be forced on the people at Chicago. They see demo cratic conventions in southern states declaring for free silver in their platforms and instructing their delegates to vote for tho great champion of anti-silver and Wall street. They are disgusted with their great farce They aro nauseated with this disgraceful insincerity. They repudiate this rottenness and coe mption. They have resolved that they will no longer be bound to Wall street dictation. Who blames them? If they are honest and patriotic, what else could bo expected than that they will put up their own electoral ticket and vote for it? The Progressive Farmer, months ago. predicted that a full electoral ticket would be put up in all tho southern states. And now it predicts that it will be heard from on the 6th of next November. Tho people of the south and west will no longer ba deluded into tho support of Wall street or its tools, but they are coming together and declare against the corruption and tyranny. Tho Saltillo Drum Corps proposes to play for the Independent party during the coming campaign, when called, up on at reasonable terms. Address. Saltillo Drum Coups, Saltillo, Neb. See our advertisement of "Songs of the people" in another column, They . are the first. and liest, , of he kind pub An Open Letter to the Sons of Eria It has'been remarked that the Irish has been a liberty loving race. From tho beginning of this republic they showed their love of freedom. Then again in the rebellion they showed their spirit of freedom and love for the starry banner that made men free. Why not show themselves now in the great bat tle for freedom against monopoly ty rants, railroad corporations and Wall street robbers who are bribing the poli ticians and old party press, and are ruining this countr ? The danger is as great now as when you shouldered your musket and went to fight for tho union, or when your ancestors marked the snow with their bare 8nd bleeding feet fighting for liberty that you might en joy the same. Now let us as a justice and liberty loving race do our whole duty in maintaining and keeping this our adopted country free from corrup tion. Let us ask ourselves have we been doing it at the last two elections? I know the bait3 thrown out to catch the Irish voter are many. Thoso baits are manufactured by railroad hench men and monopolists. Do net be led by them or their agents, the old party's ward politicians. They will smile to you, but tneir ooject is omce ana boodle, and they only care for your votes. Do not allow yourself to bo voted by some railroad boss or combine. If you keep on voting with the old par ties you are helping to re-enslavo the nob e American people who welcome you toTtheir shores as good citizens. Do not do driven like dumb animals. Be heroes in the strife. Let us not be a stumbling block in the path of progress and political reformation. Let us de clare for liberty or death. May tbe spirits of your patriotic an cestors who fought for liberty and jus tice infuse in your minds a sense of duty which you owe to your adopted country. MICHAEL oRANAIIAN. EndicotJ, Neb.
